Title: Rust, rust, rust! Review: I purchased these knives about a month or two ago. I thought, "Wow, Revere ware at THAT price, what a deal!" Yeah, right! They began to rust after the FIRST dish washing and the walnut handle is dried out and looks like it will fall apart soon! I am NOT impressed! The only saving grace of this set is the fact that the knives are still sharp! Otherwise I'd trash them...Hmph! I guess I have to get some use out of them... Is this product review negative?

Title: BUD POWELL! Review: Unquestionably tracks 1 to 9 contain the best uptempo modern jazz piano playing on record. The piano must have been still smoking after he finished this assault!Great playing from Sonny Stitt, but even he's left looking a bit flat-footed by the dazzingly incisive work of Bud Powell. I first heard this when I was quite young and unfortunately everything else I've heard since then by him or by anyone else for that matter was bound to seem a little second-rate by comparison. It's amazing music! Is this product review negative?

Title: Very disappointing Review: After all of the accolades I had high hopes for this book. I'm always interested in discovering good new novels written by new authors.The beginning started out promisingly. The stories of young Amir and Hassan in Kabul are told in a very taut and interesting manner. Where the book falls apart is when Amir and his father move to America. Characters become cliches and stereotypes, and situations become predictable. If you can't figure out every "plot twist" 20 pages in advance, then you're a naive reader.Without giving away any of the plot, what happens later in the book when Amir returns to Afghanistan and Pakistan is just ridiculuous, and would make for a bad TV special. Everything is just too neat and tidy and resolutions come too easily.Hopefully we as readers can learn to appreciate writing which is much more complex and thoughtful than The Kite Runner.

Title: Sigh . . . Review: I began this book 3 times before I was able to penetrate Rushdie's language enough to make it past the first 5 pages. But once I got to reading it in earnest, I couldn't put it down. The only thing I ever knew about the author was through all the controversy around the Satanic Verses. The whole thing sounded scary and political to me. I never realized what a beautiful and poetic writer he is. Reading this book was like having a love affair- it left me with a light head and a full belly.The Moor's Last Sigh has left me hungry for more Rushdie. Read this book with a clear head. I guarantee you will enjoy it. Is this product review negative?
