Title: French Lessons Product review: French Lessons did not live up to Mayle's earlier efforts. However, for the travel enthusiast, his vignettes offer pleasant excursions into the French countryside. Truffle hunting, frog leg tastings, and of course a cheese festival, all offer romantic ideas of what France was and, in many respects, continues to be today. Repetition sets in rather quickly in this Mayle travelogue. One has a sense that the second half of the book was destined as filler after having explored a very limited number of interesting festivals presented in the earlier pages. This is most unfortunate. I found myself hurrying through the second half of the book, much like a quick fastfood meal, rather than savoring chapter after chater as one might in a Michelin starred restaurant. However, it is a pleaant way to pass a few hours on the beach or sitting in a chair in the countryside dreaming of one's next trip to France and the true culinary delights that await the avid traveler.

Title: Sadly unprofessional and historically disjointed. Product review: Where to begin? The narrative by Varina Davis, mostly about Davis' first wife Sally Taylor, just begins without any introduction. Other scenes appear with no connection or transition. The scene of the announcement of Davis' election to the Confederate presidency, while attempting to portrey the circumstance, fails miserably. The actor representing Davis doesn't look even a little like JFD. Then the next scene with the apparent JFD impersonator, who looks like the man and evidently had done this before, bears no connection or resemblence to the other scenes. Too bad this guy didn't play JFD for the entire "film." I stopped watching at this point because I couldn't take this high school skit night acting, purporting to be "the only feature length film on the life of Jefferson Davis." Having read a number of biographies and related works, this was quite the dissappointment. Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
