Review title: knock off Product review: This hair straightener never worked when plugged in. I took it to a reputable salon who informed me that this iron was not authentic, but was a "knock-off" version. I paid what a REAL CHI would cost!!

Product review: Yes, and I am thanking Jesus for me being able to find an African American writer who can not only write but tell a story! For the past 10 years (since the success of Terry MacMillan's Waiting to Exhale book and movie) there has been a genre of no-talent lunatics masquerading as "authors" of comtemporary fiction or more accurately dogpile in print.Just when I was through (and I do mean FINISHED) with reading ANY new African American author, along comes Guy Johnson and this wonderful, well-written novel. This book is a sweeping saga. I felt like I was actually there in that time period. I actually cried, laughed and talked out loud while reading. Anyway, I won't tell too much. But this book is good. An intelligent African American author. Refreshing in these times of novels containing mispellings, misplaced sex scenes, no plot, materialism, etc. Keep up the good work Guy! Your mom must be so proud!

Review title: Savannah Bird Girl - Large Product review: I loved this statue and thus ordered and received it. Later on it fell over on my wall-to-wall carpet and the head broke off and the arm cracked. Despite my correspondence with Signals, the best offer I received was a 35% off offer on a new statue priced at $189. The poor girl sits on my patio awaiting my being able to find any type of adhesive produce to put her together again. If you know of a product which will bind her permanently, I would appreciate it as despite her obvious flaws even if fixed I do like this statue a great deal.

Review title: This is a great book for families and children Product review: I bought this book for my 10 year old niece. She read it through in one sitting. This is a great book - factual, clear and simple but not condescending. Some of the subjects are a little mature for kids, but that's why you, as a concerned adult, read it in advance and stay available to talk about it with the children you care about.This book is easy to read, well organized, honest, and comprehensible. Best of all, it answers the questions kids want to ask and doesn't make them feel weird for wondering.I highly recommend it to anyone who cares about children and teaching them about healthy, responsible sexuality.
