Review title: Disappointed Product review: My first inclinations on reading this book were wonderful. It takes a skilled storyteller to walk a reader through a protagonist's day, moment by moment, and maintain interest. The minutae in the first chapters were great. But where was the plot?I stopped midway through the book and set it aside.A month later I tried again from the beginning, thinking perhaps I'd lost some thread that would impel the story forward. Again I stopped as the story lagged. The interminable letters wore down my patience to translate the formal language of letters into something that mattered to me. There was no cohesion to the events, no central reason for moving on.It is a real pity. The author has proved over and over that her storytelling skills are topnotch. This book has become a chore, though, and I have enough chores in my life already. I will not buy the next. If it reviews better I will borrow it to read.

Review title: Redundant bore that had a promising beginning..... Product review: This novel started out beautifully, with writing that made my heart ache. And then, boom, it bombed around page 80. This would have been a GREAT short story. MacDermott's character descriptions were SO repetitive, and the scene in the gas station in Ireland with the bullsh-t about the two sisters having an argument was absolutely ludicrous. After all that pining for Eva, Billy acts completely alien to his own character during this whole scene.

Review title: Top open not closed as expected Product review: Shipping and all that is fine.The top of the pick is open design and has some handle exposed at the top of it making that if you hit into rock it can split the handle. The handle at the neck is also very light and looks to be easily broken.I have not used this item yet and these are only observations of the product from first look.
