Review title: Very Fun, Even If It's Not True Product review: Chuck Barris gives a very fun, expletive-filled reading of his book that adds a little more crediblity to his story as you wonder: Is this for real?I didn't know anything about Chuck Berris and maybe I still don't, but I was very entertained by this book and his reading of it. The CIA/Show business biography is a great little suspense story that keeps the reader interested even if it is a little predictable.There isn't a whole lot of detail on the behind the scenes of the Gong Show, etc. but it finds its place in the story.I say give it a listen or a read.

Review title: The honest truth Product review: Ok this game is NOT for anyone who wishes to enjoy themselves.The game consists of very power abusive moderators, who also thrive on favouritism and [rear] kissing from the players.The game is rarely updated PROPERLY, The updates are usually hacker fixes but that is a load of [junk] cos the game isn't worth hacking (Stop flattering yourself with the hacker fixes)The PvP system is a JOKE. Nuff SaidCharacter advancement is a JOKE. Nuff SaidThe players that play this game right now hang around in town allday, being idiots and trying to make their [ugly] topless elves look cool (and they do a horrible job of it). And if they aren't doing they, they are cybering in private (Or in public if they are feeling open)This.......game............[STINKS].........GET SHADOWBANE OR MORROWIND, BUT NOT THIS OR EVERQUEST.

Review title: Endearing tale Product review: This is a fun book, a sort of send up of fairy tales. The writing style is very loose, and the book is filled with illustrations.I liked it because it moves quickly. It lacks focus, but at least something is always happening, and the story is strange and quirky. The characters are engaging, and the writing is enjoyably casual.It's about a prince who makes everyone happy, a princess so beautiful she turns anyone who looks at her into stone, a clumsy giant, and a hunter who shouldn't even be in the book but stays in it despite the author's protests.It's a quick read, very fun. Recommended for kids and adults, especially if you're looking for something different.

Review title: Should have been better Product review: The book conssists of two intertwined stories, that of the student going back to study the Middle Ages and the 21st century academics trying to rescue her. The former is outstanding. The characters are real, the detail is fine, but even more, the unspoken inferences about medieval life and society drawn by the reader are the most fascinating part of the book. However, the latter is disappointing. It is at times plodding and clumsy. Attempts at comedy are misplaced and the characters are two dimensional. This 21st century portions really took away from the meat of the book.
