A Look Back at Early Crusie
This is a book written by Jennifer Crusie before her blockbuster best-sellers. It's shorter than her recent books (written to that short, digestable romance format), so the characters aren't as well developed as you'll find in "Tell Me Lies", "Crazy for You", "Welcome to Tempation", "Fast Women". But Crusie is such a s...

So glad i didn't give up on crusie quite yet...
This is definitely one of her better reads. It has a hint of mystery to it, and not to much of her love making writing....

A little rushed
The story line is the typical Crusie formula but plot was weak and felt rushed. Characters fall for each other almost immediately and without reason so the tension between them is lacking in comparison to her other books.

I've read a number of Crusie books, and the first few were enjoyable enough fluff, but then they all started to blend together. This was no differetn The stories and characters are WAY too similar book to book, right down to the physical descriptions and situations they find themselves in, the secondary characters, the...

Great CD with one MAJOR problem
After owning and enjoying this CD for over a year I decided to add it to my iTunes folder. BIG MISTAKE. Somehow someway the audio files prevented me from connecting to the iTunes store that serves Las Cruces, NM. Only by entirely removing the audio files was I able to again connect to the iTunes store.

I am a BIG fan of the series and ordered the disk to the second season first, and was disapointed with it. All the heroic upbeat themes that I liked so much in the show just were not on the disk.

Definite "thumbs up"
An excellent little collection of spells. Not wicca or CM, so if you're looking for those you might be more pleased with some other selection. But it's good solid folk magic, largely of a mixed African and European flavor.I wouldn't say the book is indispensable for the advanced or intermediate practitioner. It's large...

I ordered this book because of the good reviews, expecting a great book full of spells.There aren't many spells however, like the cover implies.

Interesting ideas poorly communicated
Galbraith's insight on society unfortunately gets lost in a maze of double negatives and confusing sentence structure. His ideas are sound, though he has a very off-putting pompous delivery.

Dangerously flawed
Galbraith is an economist who could only operate in academia--in any other setting he would be a joke. In his many books, which are widely cited, he attempts to provide an economic justification to socialism. The principle flaw in this book, from which all the others radiate out, is that all spending is equal. That gov...

Smallville season 9 is downright the worst season of Smallville. The plot is not interesting at all. The plot of Smallville has really gone downhill. However, the finale episode showed great promise.
