Title: Get out of the Beltway Review: This book purports to be a Dictionary of American political slang but should be entitled "Washington D.C." political slang. To test out the book, I looked up some commonly used Chicago political slang terms. None of them appeared in the book. Had the author bothered to look outside the Beltway, he could have found words like "chinaman" (a political sponsor/source of clout) and "fetcher" (a legislative bill proposed solely for the purpose of generating campaign contributions from an affected industry).

Title: Completely unsympathetic protagonist Review: _Water for Elephants_ is one of the best books I have read in the last decade, so I was looking forward to reading Sara Gruen's debut novel. After reading it, I have to say that I do not know how she got a contract for another book. Annemarie Zimmer is a loser: bad wife, bad mother, bad daughter, bad girlfriend, bad employee, bad manager, bad human being. She whines constantly and is completely self-absorbed. Worst of all, she is not even an interesting character. At least Voldemort is a compelling villain in Harry Potter - Annemarie Zimmer shows absolutely no growth or self-awareness throughout this novel. I would have chucked this book long before the end if it hadn't been written by Gruen. It is hard to believe that the same author wrote this mess and _Water for Elephants_. To recap, I hated _Riding Lessons_. Does this product review convey a negative or positive sentiment?

Title: Excellent!!! Pam Bono scores again!!! Review: Whenever I buy a quilting book (which isn't very often because many of them are more of the same patterns) I look for the name Pam Bono. Her designs are unique. The instructions are clear and if they are followed, end with a quilt that can be displayed with pride. The blocks use enough variation in technique and color that I am never bored while I am piecing. Thank-you so much for sharing your gift!
