Review title: Please make it better next time Product review: Is it a book or a computer game? The characters act like the robots they are inside their battle-suits; the alien Posleen get slaughtered en masse, preferably by dropping mega-skycrapers on them ... Oh yes, there are interesting parts as well - the "allies" play a very deep game, but one really has to stretch the imagination to see a plot here. In sum: stupid!For a first novel this may not be so bad, however in that case the blame for its lack of plot and other weaknesses is with the editor. But maybe it was a first for them too ... . Please make it better next time.

Review title: Waste of time and money Product review: The first Jak & Daxter game I found to be stressfull and difficult in sections. This one is all over. More racing, more endless running back and forth across huge zones. The worst part is having to repeat the whole zone if you die instead of letting you go back to a safe point. I got so frustrated with all the racing, bumping into things and other cars that I simply put the controller down and walked away from the game less than 1/2 the way through it. I have not gone back to it. It's been collecting dust the last three months. A total waste of money.

Review title: Interesting Concept, Tedious Execution Product review: I purchased this book because I love reading about history from different perspectives. I guess I was hoping for a Bill Bryson-esque treatment. This book is very academic and while it would undoubtedly be useful for someone doing a research project, it doesn't work as a purely educational read. The theses is very straightforward and the bulk of the book is composed of dry anecdotes and lists of names and dates. I gave up after reading 2/3 of it.

Review title: Perfect for the Office Product review: This is the best dictionary to have on your desk at work. The sections for law, computer and abbreviations as well as the "regular" dictionary are so useful. I would reach for this dictionary two or three times a day. Unfortunately, my copy was lost as it was on my desk on the 99th floor of 2 World Trade Center. I am glad this dictionary is still available so that I may replace my copy. I recommend this dictionary to anyone working in an office. Perhaps the next edition could include a medical section. That would be great.
