Q: Title: Squashing Snails Review: One of the most underrated bands of all time, Madness incorporated elements of reggae,ska,music hall and big band in their marvellous catalogue. All of you who remember Dan Akroyd's "Blues Brothers" dance routine, take a look at the early Madness videos and see what you have been missing. What seperated this group from their peers, was the ability to write and perform in a multitude of styles, with a touch of humor and soul. My daughter and her friends love to dance to the early hits. I hope that Virgin will get around to releasing all their great videos on one DVD shortly as it is a pain having to constantly change discs - my only complaint. Is the review positive or negative?

Q: Title: Well-written, thought-provoking essays for general readers. Review: I enjoyed Paul Krugman's "The Accidental Theorist" a great deal. Each of the 27 essays is short, well-written, and thought-provoking. I especially liked "What Is Wrong With Japan?" and "Looking Backward", an astonishing piece written from the point of view of an economist looking back over the last 100 years from his vantage point in 2096.The author explains complex economic ideas in terms that laymen can easily understand. In "Delusions of Growth", he summarizes monetary policy by using a baby-sitting co-op as a model!Paul's viewpoint is from the left. I viewed this as a welcome change, a counterbalance to years of reading the conservative slant of the Wall Street Journal. Is the review positive or negative?

Q: Title: vietnam books--start here Review: this account of the vietnam war from a helicopter pilot's perspective is THE BEST book i have read about that war from anyone's perspective.the author does an excellent job of describing the combat action, but more importantly, he gets you right into the cockpit with him -first in flying school, then coming into a "hot" LZ when the intensity of feelings is almost unbearable.mason is that unusual combination of compelling writer with a compelling true story to tell.The sequel to this book-"chickenhawk-back in the world" is possibly even better! what happens when he gets back is maybe as much of a dangerous mission as any during the war. in the end the writer succeeds in the ultimat mission--letting you into his head.
