Q: Title: Lot's of fun - a peek into a new world Product review: While in Portugal for a month last February ran out of English reading materials - YIKES! While combing the flea markets finally found an English book that looked both interesting and affordable. Had seen the film "The Commitments" years before, but getting into the dialect of the reading and the trilogy itself was a real treat. Human, gritty, poignant and full of humor. These are stories of the heart, a window into that part of the world and interactions that are universal with a real Irish flavor. My friend also ran out of reading (most everything in Portugese or expensive for travelers on the cheap)...and because I was laughing so hard in the next bed she finally talked me into ripping apart my book as I was reading it so she could also have something wonderful. It was hard to tear up a book...but hey, it tells you how good it was. We recycled our pages at the end...and I have since bought another one to give to my neighbors for Christmas.

Q: Title: A good book from which to create a watchable movie! Product review: A few years ago they made a fine movie from"Cap'n Eri", while not necessarily a mega super blockbuster, it still made for a darn fine film...started KeithCarradine,Charles Durning & everything...JosephC. Lincoln was a great author,his shortstories& novels were serialized in all of the major magazines in which they did that sort of thing... In short, read the book; it's a darn good read!

Q: Title: Horrible Quality Product review: This saw looks good for the price and Consumer Reports rates it highly. Definitely think twice before ordering this one though. I saw all the one star reviews but decided to order one any way. My first saw lasted 3 uses, maybe 20-30 minutes total. After that it was totally dead. Amazon of course sent me a new one. The second lasted about 5 minutes --- one use. Same problem, totally dead. Someone mentioned in another review mentioned the chain brake. Not a chance, just plain broken. In the short period it ran I could actually see the motor housing glowing from sparks inside. What a piece of junk. If you are going to gamble and buy this one make sure you buy it from Amazon so you can get your money back. Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?

Q: Title: This bizarre performance is uncomfortable to watch... Product review: Jamie Oliver is unquestionably creative, and he certainly knows how to cook. But this strange live performance DVD is almost groaningly uncomfortable to watch at times, and makes you wonder what Oliver was thinking when he entered the world of live theater performance.From the bizarre introductory skit (Jamie orders pizza for the audience--ho, ho, that's a new one), to the unfunny interactions with his adoring fans, there's something strange and unpleasant about all this. One gets the feeling nobody had any idea what to do with this otherwise interesting idea--taking Jamie Oliver's immensely popular TV show and adapting it to live performance. The extraneous trappings just seem forced rather than fun. I bought this DVD to be entertained, but I had to actually stop in midstream simply because I found it hard to watch. That's too bad, because this could have been a lot of fun. Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
