Title: Rough, But Worth It Review: It's easy to see why Tolkien wanted this appended as a prologue to Lord of the Rings and it's equally easy to see why the publisher rejected that idea. If you're a fan of Tolkien's world-building, then this is worthwhile, but it's a slog. The language is very lofty, the litany of names is challenging, and the prose is... turgid.But if you can make it though the muck, you'll find a rich and tragic story about a world that starts in a state of beauty and perfection and slowly slides into despair and destruction. It gives context to the world of Lord of the Rings and enriches some of the themes of sacrifice that run through Tolkien's works. Is the review positive or negative?

Title: Should Have Been Kept a Secret Review: I am being a bit too harsh with the title to my review, but I really did not enjoy this short (but it seems so, so long) story. Just as Conrad's other novel, Heart of Darkness, has symbolism and deeper meanings- so follows the Secret Sharer. Simply, I did not like this book. I would have been completely lost if it were not for the helpful introduction written by Albert Guerard. I read the introduction after reading the story, and it shed a lot of light on the book. Though I did not enjoy the book, I am impressed with the man behind the book- I cannot believe that English is his second language. He also has an impressive personal life history- it seems as if he has experienced everything he writes about, this adds value to his works. Is the review positive or negative?

Title: A Fine Catalogue of a Superb Exhibit Review: Sol LeWitt is an artist for whom the catalogue is both essential and apt. Because his conception and work mainly consists of a set of instructions that are then executed by other artists, the results can be displayed in many different places. While the literally enormous beauty of the wall paintings and drawings cannot be displayed in the book, that's not the point. The paintings and drawings themselves are temporary, to be whitewashed over when the exhibit 'moves' on. The catalogue provides the valuable service of capturing moments in time when the work was someplace, and brings that to the reader, along with excellent essays on the artist.

Title: The Real Dukes Would Have Run Away............ Review: This movie was nothing like the tv show. It was totally disrespectfully to all the dukes and especially boss hogg. Am I really supposed to believe that after all this time Boss Hogg grew? I mean they couldn't find someone to match the size of the original Boss. And Rosco in this movie was just creppy and not funny at all. In all of hollywood they couldn't find a funny guy to play Rosco. Jessica's portrayal of Daisy was horrible; and to tell you the truth she did not fill out the shorts that well either, SHE HAS NO BUTT!!! Do not waste your money to buy this movie. Rent it if you like, but don't buy! Is the review positive or negative?
