Q: Title: Count to 20??? Review: The video counts from 1-20 once. Yes, that is one time only.This is no "Numberland" if that is why you are thinking of purchasing this DVD. Is the review positive or negative?
A: Negative


Q: Title: A better book? Review: Currently using this book in a theory class. There must be a better theory book out there. Bounces form one theory to another while covering a specific theory in a chapter. It is hard for a person unfamiliar with theories to understand what is relevant to the theory named in that chapter heading. Is the review positive or negative?
A: Negative


Q: Title: Yes, indeed, you read the price amount correctly Review: This is a modern book, not an illuminated Arabic manuscript from the 13th century. You might have expected amazon to send you a precious item at this price. But, surprise: Brill and a few other superb academic publishers exist to get the word out that the highest quality of scholarship continues in our universities. Dr. F. de Jong, as usual, has pulled off a coup with this collection on Sufism and its nasty enemies.De Jong's writings are clear, concise, and weighty with original research. Orientalist minus all the colonialist dross of the oldsters.So, urge your own college or university library to splurge and buy this book for the shelves. The monitor screen has not alienated humanity from hard copy books; quite the opposite. Look at the surge in hard cover book spending in recent years.This is one of those books you (as scholar or student) will consult for years to come. But I still can't afford a personal copy!

A: Positive


Q: Title: painful and slow Review: I tried, I really tried to read this book but could only manage about 160 pages of this 600 page monster. He alludes to so much Latin, French and yer ye Olde English, it was virtually impossible for me to follow along. Many of the words he uses are not in modern dictionaries, so if you don't have a good command of English or have good reference material, TH White can leave you guessing alot of the time. Usually I can guess meanings through context clues but in this book it was much harder than usual.Of what I read, none of it flowed smoothly from chapter to chapter, it just jumped all over the place. By the time Wart was a bird for the second time, I was screaming, get on with the story! Is the review positive or negative?
