Title: A MYSTERY IN WALES Review: I have read and enjoyed mrs Taylor's second book. It was good to read more about the main characters, the policemen with out a clue, and the town's people who are naturally reticent and believe it is their duty to keep the police in the dark. I will watch for more episodes to come, as I hope she does not stop now. I especially love the descriptions of the Welsh country and city life. Is the review positive or negative?

Title: Didn't read the first one, sorry I read the sequel Review: I read an Alex Cross book by Patterson a while back and thought this was going to be a mystery. I didn't read the first one so I can't comment on that, but this book was horrible. Trying to save children with wings to prevent them from being used for scientific purposes just isn't of interest to me. I blame myself for reading this; had I known this was a sequel to an equally stupid book (well what I read from the reviews), I wouldn't have checked it out from the library. The only reason I did finish the book was out of boredom. Is the review positive or negative?

Title: Excellent Book For Teens Dealing With Gay Issues Review: Am I Blue? is a compelling anthology which explores lesbian and gay themes among teenagers. Some characters are dealing with being gay or lesbian themselves, and others are dealing with gay or lesbian parents or friends. As with any anthology, some stories are more detailed than others, but overall the collection is superb. My personal favorites among the stories were "Am I Blue?" by Bruce Coville, "Parents' Night" by Nancy Garden, and "Michael's Little Sister" by C.S. Adler Is the review positive or negative?

Title: Great Start, Awful Finish Review: The first 45 minutes of this was a very, very pleasant surprise. That's probably because I read so many negative things about this film, I was expecting the worst. I was enthused, even heading into the second hour but as time went on I began to become less involved with the story. That's probably because none of the characters are likable people that I would care about. With no one to really root for, after awhile the movie loses its appeal.The worst part was the last 20 minutes. It was so sordid, it got absurd. It's too much corruption, sick people, ugly violence and nasty overall attitude. The "Linscott" family is so bad I could do little but just shake my head in disgust. The whole thing wound up too depressing. When it's over, you want to take a shower.I loved the cinematography and overall 1940s film noir atmosphere. On that aspect alone, this movie almost was a keeper until they went overboard on the seedy stuff in the last 20 minutes. What a shame. Is the review positive or negative?
