Title: Certainly no Hunter S. Thompson Review: While I had a couple of laughs, this book would've been a lot more fun if the author was a better storyteller. The shallow pseudo-informative bits on Cambodian culture & politics don't help either. This book should've been written by one of the lowlife drifters Gilboa tries to portray. Someone who's been shagging fourteen year olds and smoking dope for years, not by a boring business journalist. Still, it's probably a good book to carry around for backpackers hoping to strike up a conversation on the bus or the beach. Try doing that with a copy of Agrippa's Three Books of Occult Philosophy.

Title: Legal genre novel Review: If you enjoy reading a "novel", read Turow; if you prefer comic books, read Grisham or Patterson, or the rest of said ilk. This is a complex story of a middle-aged man, who loses his much-loved wife to a mysterious suicide. Turow develops the personalities of his characters, and weaves a multi-faceted plot line, just as occurs in real-life circumstances. "Burden of Proof" is one of the best novels I have ever read, and quite different from "Presumed Innocent", which most folks know from the Harrison Ford movie. Is the review positive or negative?

Title: Great book, on time Review: No actual wear, but paper aged a bit more than expected. I could care less myself, so I'm satisfied since it came on time and in otherwise good shape. Is the review positive or negative?

Title: What is a "cult"? Review: This book reminds me of protestants saying catholics are a dangerous cult and catholics saying the same about protestants. The truth in my opinion is: no christian confession is perfect, but every one who puts the New Testament and Jesus in the highest place and tries to follow those ideals can only be insignificantly wrong or "false" in this case. I believe this book was primarily written to increase an income, though I may be be mistaken. Is the review positive or negative?
