Product review: I read the first Black Fleet Crisis book, and it was Ok but this one was horrible. It was the worst book I have ever read! I hate the format especially. They divert,like 100 pages on the same person! The only reason I kept on reading it, was because it was part of a trilogy. If I were you, I would NOT get it, unless you really want to finish the trilogy.BORRRRRING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Product review: I'm a big Cooks Illustrated fan. Saw the review on America's Test Kitchen and jumped on this one. I own lots of overpriced underperforming kitchenware and gadgets. This thing does indeed perform. I have many different knives -- Forschner Fibrox, Henckels, etc...-- some pretty expensive. I have a $35 Henckels ceramic sharpener and a more expensive honing tool -- neither comes close to this simple device. I have sharpened all my knives with it and they are as close to razor sharp as they were when purchased. Gave this as a gift to a relative and will buy for others as the opportunity comes! For the price, it's a no-brainer.

Review title: Was surprised that the author writes from a Christian perspective. Product review: Readers should be aware that the author is a Christian. Around one third of the way through, she talks about her faith and the rejection of Jesus by the Jews in a way that is to her honest. I am a devout Jew who had read this book thinking it would be interesting background to my upcoming trip to the Galilee. It is interesting background, but perhaps because of many initial references to her Jewish upbringing and even her attendance at Yom Kippur services, I was shocked to learn that she had embraced Jesus. I was also thinking that her name "Levy" suggested that she was Jewish. I, unlike the author, believe that being a Jew and believing in Jesus are mutually exclusive. The bottom line is, as long as you know this, the book is a fine introduction to the area. I do think, however, that believing Christians would be able to embrace it more than I did. Amazon should take it out of their "Jewish books" category!

Review title: Great product, easy to use Product review: I've used this label maker for several month now. It made organizing a cinch. I highly recommend this product. You can use batteries or even plug it in using an AC adaptor that comes with the unit.
