Title: About good, solid Maine stock Review: Although born in New Hampshire, Gladys Carroll spent most of her life in Maine (Berwick). Life in rural Maine communities was her major theme in her novels. In this book, her first, she writes about the Shaws, a farm family, and their trials and tribulations over the course of a year in the early 1920s. Her characters are well drawn and come to life.She is often compared to Sarah Orne Jewett and Mary E. Wilkins, other Maine writers, but a better comparison would be to Mary Ellen Chase, a Maine novelist who is contemporary to Carroll and who also used similar settings to explore comparable themes. As late as the 1960s (I don't know about now), a play based on AS THE EARTH TURNS was performed every summer in Berwick. It was her most popular book, widely translated into other languages.

Title: Burlesque! Review: Wonderful dance-type work-out. It is a good exercise but not too strenous and you find your inner burlesque goddess! Great! Is the review positive or negative?

Title: COMPLETE OPPOSITES THAT DONT GO TOGETHER! Review: I am a huge Linkin Park fan, and also a fairly big Jay-Z fan. But this CD is one of the worst cd's made. It's basically Linkin Park song backgrounds while Jay-Z raps, or it's Jay-Z song backgrounds while Linkin Park sings. They dont sound good at all together and the cd itself could have been made in just a month. Huge dissapointment! Is the review positive or negative?

Title: Rusty Maths skills dusted using this book Review: This book has really helped me. One of my fears preparing for the GMAT was my rusty maths skills. This book has helped reduce those fears...I like the simplicity with which it was written and how it guides you through answering the GMAT questions without really solving anything...I'm glad I made this purchase.
