Title: "Survivor" is childish and amatuerish Review: This album stinks. This can't be the same "group" that put out such stellar tracks as "Say my name" and "Bugaboo". The production isn't bad but the lyrics are childish and unusually self-righteous. There are some promising ideas on the CD but they never come to fruition. "Bootyliscious" is clever with a great Stevie Nicks sample but gets tiring after about a minute and a half and just repeats itself for the remainder of the song. Resist buying this CD but if you have to have it you can find my copy in the used bin at Wherehouse. Is this product review negative?

Title: Short, no real depth, a guy selling himself Review: This guy is the real deal, a real former terrorist. Hence, two stars for being a true story. However, it's basically a sell job by the guy. I like the guy, he's honest, but I didn't get much from his story. He sits in a red chair and tells his story. And it's only 32 minutes long. Sorry...I was looking for some more insights into Islam and the terrorist mind. He can't give that because it is too painful, I think. Is this product review negative?

Title: This has got TV movie written all over it... Review: Agreeing with previous reviewers, the stars are for Brenda Gunn's courage, not for the writing style. It's a great story but Ann Rule should've written it. The trashy novel style is not meant to be used for true crime--I skipped a lot of pages (cut to the chase, so to speak) because I lost all patience with the writing style. Brenda is an intelligent woman who made a good living and smart investments but she married a guy only 2 months after meeting him and he turned out to be an ex-con...the entire marriage and relationship was a set-up involving the woman Brenda thought was her best friend: maximum betrayal. Hats off to Brenda for getting smart just in time to save her own life, but I sure wouldn't have gotten the tombstone with hearts and planned to be buried beside the guy who literally died trying to murder me....

Title: OMG - just what the doctor ordered! Review: After coming to the conclusion that I need to make some serious changes in my life, and after reading other books on expatriating, I have finally found THE book that made sense to me. Although I want to move to another country, I was hesitant to set up house in areas with large American communities due to the shame and embarrassment I have experienced when confronted with the behavior of fellow Americans in other countries where I have lived. I agree wholeheartedly with Doug and Cindi's suggestions about preparing for the move to Mexico by developing language skills IN SPANISH and making every effort to befriend the locals and honor their culture. I will be planning a trip to Guanajuato to attend a Spanish language school and investigate this seemingly charming city in the near future. Thank you Doug and Cindi for an inspiring book!
