Review title: As of 11/04/08, Vonnegut has a country again. Product review: Reading this, it's very apparent that Vonnegut had pretty much given up on humanity. You already get that feel from most of his novels, but in this book of essays, Vonnegut leaves no doubt. The Bush years are the straw that broke the camel's back. And I have to say, my thinking was pretty much in line with Vonnegut's. But then came November 4th, 2008. Reading these essays, I was struck with a deep sadness that Vonnegut was not around to witness the magnificent manner in which the Bush era will end. I don't think Obama's election would have turned Vonnegut into a starry-eyed optimist, but I do think it might have tempered his pessimism, as it did mine.

Review title: Worst product- ever Product review: I bought this product at Home Depot and it was a total waste of money! I have bought the product by Artscape and had great results, easy to install, looked professional. I thought this would be similar--it wasn't. It cracked, slid around, wouldn't adhere, and when I tried to remove it, it left a sticky residue that I can't get off!!! Going to back to store.

Review title: Review on cover of book is a lie! Product review: This is the first time in my life where I have bought a book, based on the printed reviews, and found them to be totally misleading!I am VERY displeased. The review on the cover of this book was definitely misleading. There was not one hilarious or even mildly funny episode in the ENTIRE book. I unfortunately kept reading it until the very end, thinking it has to get better. Where's all the funny stuff!!It was not written well. The story did not flow well. It is nothing but short stories about a few investigations and then WAH--LA she decides its time to get married...the end. This has to be the worst book I have ever read!I am really sorry I forked out my twelve bucks at an airport bookstore for this one.
