Q: Title: Not what I expected Review: I was expecting a Bobby McFerrin concert in a more classic sense. This DVD is almost all audience participation and it's very short - about 45 mins. So, I guess I was mostly disappointed. No familiar songs, no 100 % showcase of his talent (like the Montreal DVD). Is the review positive or negative?
A: Negative


Q: Title: ARRG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Review: This pad is soo annoying! I have DDR Exteme 2 and it came with a really nice pad (the original, plus nonslip!) and I was so into it that I decided to buy another pad. I went to Target and they only had a few left--only this type. It looked pretty awesome so I spent my money on it. Big mistake! The little circle in the middle where you're supposed to stand is WAYYYYY to small for me (I'm size 12)-whenever I'm standing in the middle it's like I'm sitting on a button. It also crinkles up and is thinner and "crunchy". Whenever I play a song I find myself standing on a button! Don't waste your money! Is the review positive or negative?

Q: Title: would you like me to shoot a hole in your head? Review: What do you say, dear? No, thank you!I was looking for another of Sendak's books at the library when I saw that he illustrated this one and placed it in my pile of kid's books for my son. Last night, as we snuggled up to read, I chuckled at the book's first scenario of a kid always wanting a baby elephant, but then turned the page and was definitely not chuckling at the knight cutting off the dragon's head complete with illustration.When I got to the line "would you like me to shoot a hole in your head" matched with a drawing of a little boy with a large revolver pointed to his temple I had to close the book. What a nasty sentiment to put in a book for anyone ~ let alone children.There are shelves full of books for kids that are humorous and/or silly ~ without violence. Definitely skip this one!

Q: Title: Stupendous Review: One of the perhaps five best SF novels I've ever read, and I've read many. I liked Vinge's "Fire Upon the Deep" (which won the Hugo in 1993) tremendously, and I actually bought this book -- a prequel, though a very different work set in a very different melieu -- in hardcover, which I do only rarely. These two books put together convince me that Vinge is the best SF writer working today, better even than greats like Larry Niven and Lois McMaster Bujold, whom I love to pieces. The book has it all: A tremendously imaginative world, beautiful writing, and complex and interesting characters. An absolutely splendid read. Is the review positive or negative?
