Review title: Clever Idea but Should Have Test Marketing the Concept Product review: As a Senior Issues and Crisis Manager at the third largest Public Relations company in New York City, I am always looking for creative approaches to solve business problems and promote a harmonious workplace. I stumbled across this clever and colorful book in a book stores and after reading a few pages of the clear and intelligent writing style I was sold!I decided to implement several of these the author's strategies, and my associates did not take to the idea too well. Some laughed at me, and others found the whole process of looking at 78-cards to be too confusing.Honestly, I was shocked that such an interesting approach was not well received in New York City and at a Public Relations firm.But, I would like to just warn all of you in the corporate world that as fascinating as this approach is in theory, the author should have test marketing it first, because it turned out not be workable in practice.

Review title: Waiting for his next pillow-biting, page-turner Product review: It's probably not fair to rate Scooter's masterpiece without reading it first. It's on my to-do list, after reading his forthcoming book, rumored to be titled "Diary of a Jailhouse Snitch."

Review title: My first Clancy book Product review: This was my first Tom Clancy book and let me tell you, it drew me in like a sixteen inch trout. Now, i'm just filling my shelves with Clancy novels even though i'm just starting Ruthless.com. Clancy brought me into the action right off the bat and kept my interest throughout the entire book. I couldn't put it down. Tom Clancy, I salute you on a job well done.

Review title: SOLID Product review: It's a bold statement, but truly - this is unlike almost anything I've ever heard. It's pop, but not quite. Alternative rock, yet quite mellow. Folky - just a twinge. But it adds up to a sound quite enjoyable and unique. The tracks are crisp and catchy, and listening almost makes me feel... "clean" at times. It's simply really clean music. And if you are ever able to take advantage of those special features on the enhanced CD -check 'em out. There are a few live clips from shows, and just seeing them once gave me a better appreciation for this guy's energy, if you ever doubt it from just listening. Certainly, some tracks are better than others (it starts off quite strong and then sags a tad in the middle), but finding an album this solid nowadays (in this world of synthesized boring bubblegum cheesy-pop), is extremely refreshing.
