Title: What happened to the original version of this book? Review: I read the original version of this book when it was first published in 1987. If you want to avoid the religious rhetoric, check out that version instead. The old version is excellent. I give the new version only two stars because the pervasiveness of born again Christian thinking is a dissapointment and a distraction from the principles that can help anyone (not just Christians) struggling with their weight or body image. I am happy for Judy that she has found her spiritual path, but it is really a shame to alienate people who do not share her beliefs.That said, the concepts of this non-diet lifestyle are excellent. It teaches you to listen to your body and take value judgements out of evaluating food. No food is forbidden, but you commit to eating only when you are truly hungry. As simple as it sounds, it takes tremendous commitment, time and compassion toward yourself to make this change - but if you do you wont regret it! Good luck.

Title: Great color! So-so polish. Review: I was excited to try Deborah Lippman polish, as she seems to have colors that no one else does. This was one of those colors - it's like Vamp only a little more red, and SO SATURATED in color. It is truly unique, hard to appreciate via an internet picture. However, the quality of her polish is only so-so. Quite frankly, I find that OPI and Sally Hansen have polishes that wear much longer (and I know how to prolong a manicure), which is disappointing considering how expensive Lippman products are. Perhaps having such super-saturated colors impacts the polish and makes it chip easily? I am glad I was able to purchase this product at a discount through Amazon's network of sellers. That being said, I would give this color six stars if I could. Does this product review convey a negative or positive sentiment?

Title: Not nearly as good as "The Club Dumas" Review: I very much enjoyed The Club Dumas for its clever use of plot, subplot and the weaving in of Alexander Dumas' writing style. Thinking I'd found a clever writer, I unfortunately choose to read The Flanders Panel. I was very disappointed by this book. On the plus side, I enjoyed the mystery embedded in the painting and the use of chess imagery was intriguing. On the down side, the villian's identity was telegraphed way too early in the book which took the mystery out of the main plot. Finding out why this person did the evil deeds was a big let down and quite unsatisfying. I didn't believe the motive for a minute. Will I read other books by Arturo Perez-Reverte? Based on the strength of The Club Dumas I would say yes, but if the next one turns out as weak as The Flanders Panel I will relegate this author to my never again list.
