Title: Good sound but an important design flaw Product review: The "A team" designed the sound and the look of this set, but it was left to the "B team" to design the power supply! The battery compartment is fiddly with a tiny little lever just waiting to be broken off (then what??), and the on/off button engages too easily and there is no lock feature. I arrived in Africa all set to enjoy some good music but found dead batteries and a bunch of disappointed people (including ME!) I think this is a major flaw in something billed as "portable" -- I know I can remove the batteries to transport it, but why should I have to do that? Just one more thing to forget!

Title: No way as good as the first book. Too leaden and patronizing Product review: I loved Rainbow Boys and was very excited for the sequel. But this second book was very plodding and patronizing. It treats readers like idiots just moving on from one gay issue to next in a manner similar to a really boring game of connect the dots. Its like a bad soap opera where the obvious just keeps happening. I know the audience is gay teens - but they're not idiots. Its a shame because I fell in love with the characters in the first book - and half-way through this sequel - i just didnt care anymore. Shame.

Title: Some of Roy's best reviews, not Roy's best Product review: In 1993, when I was only 11, I found o copy of 'Folkjokeopus' in a box of records from a yard sale. I have been a fan of Roy Harper ever since.While not devoid of standout tunes like 'The Unknown Soldier', 'The Fly Catcher', 'Short and Sweet (co-written with Pink Floyd guitarist Dave Gilmour- the song turned up prior to this on Gilmour's first eponymous solo album in 1978)', 'Old Faces' & 'Ten Years Ago', parts of this album have become dated by the use of 80's synths. Yes, it got Roy some of his best reviews (not to mention much-deserved record sales), yet it can't compare with the superlative 'HQ', 'Lifemask' and 'Stormcock'.It is still an excellent album (well worthy of 4 stars), though I'm more of a fan of Roy without the aid of studio trickery. Because, quite simply, he is a genius who doesn't need it. Indeed, Harper himself lists the 80's as a low period (as many an artist has done). Still, well worth a listen.

Title: Not so great Product review: After reading this book, I sat back and wondered "Now what was that about?" Frankly, I got tired of all the sex, not that I'm a prude by any stretch of the imagination. What bugged me throughout this book was the constant "ache" Falcon had for Jasmine and how she continued to turn him down. And then, suddenly, when she gets pregnant she loves him. Please. It was so unbelievable. I'm all for a fiesty heroine and a dark, brooding hero, but for God's sake this was ridiculous. And the shenanigan's at King John's court were just plain silly. I only read this for the historical content and I was sadly let down with that too. This won't be one I repeat. Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
