Ques:Title: Goodbye, Yellow Brick Road - hello Shlocksville! Review: "El Dorado" fails on all levels. Truly, this is a CD to avoid. Elton's fans should avoid it for the lackluster rhythms, simple chromatic melodies (if you can call them that)and banal Tim Rice lyrics and forced rhymes. Disney film fans - this is NOT Lion King of the Central American Jungle! There is no grand opening melodic sweep like "Circle of Light" - instead you've got the moronic repetition of "El Dorado." There are no ballads like "Can you hear the love" - so there's nothing to compare it to. And the comic songs isn't very clever, although "It's Tough to be a God" comes close. One last comment, I could buy the Spanish rhythms - after all the main characters are Spanish - but where the hell did the country/western sound come into the picture at all? Dreamworks, if you want to rival Disney, get Phil Collins to do your music next time. Is the review positive or negative?

Ans:Negative

Ques:Title: The value of logic, or the illogic of value? Review: This book, by a well-known poser of puzzles, sets out of the order of a thousand logic puzzles in a format loosely styled upon the presentation of Scheherazade, but in a somewhat less entrancing way. The problem with logic is that there is just so much of it about. Perhaps the axiom 'less is more' might have been applied and some judicious excision of the more mechanical or repetitious examples been performed. The jewels are lost amongst the glass beads. Obviously by its nature mathematical logic eschews value judgements, but in the present case this seems to have been taken rather too literally. Is the review positive or negative?

Ans:Negative

Ques:Title: Scam Review: What? This is a novel a publisher bought and paid for and distributed and is a novel some people have taken seriously? Get out of town. The narrator is a sniviling weasel who is misjudged and whose feelings are hurt by girls as a boy. He is self-absorbed and, to all appearances ( like Jake's comment about Robert in The Sun Also Rises )a case of continuing adolescence. At least Robert could box. This guy Stephen Glass ought to be barred from publishing for ten years as are Wall Street felons. This novel is just another scam and its publishers ought to be ashamed of themselves. Don't read this book, you'll only get depressed. Is the review positive or negative?

Ans:Negative

Ques:Title: Messed up our caller ID Review: We have removed this phone from operation, because with it plugged in, our caller ID in the house stopped working. We also had issues with some calls going directly to voicemail and not ringing in the house. Verizon came out to the house and after a lot of detective work, they found the issue was the phone. When we unplugged it, no more issues. I would have returned the phone but I had thrown away the paperwork.Other than that issue, the phone, its functions, etc. were all great, but beware of these issues if you get this phone. Is the review positive or negative?
