Wonderful productThe scarf is so soft and warm that I never want to take it off. Also, it was derived faster than promised.0

Handsome ShoeI love everything about thus slipper except the furry bottom is beginning to pull up from the sole early in use. I don't know if it will continue. At this price it should last a long time.0

Good produceA produce I formerly used has become unavailable. This is a wholly satisfactory substitute.0

Exactly as advertised and grew well.No surprises here, and the plant grows well. I don’t have a sunny enough indoor spot, so I put it on my balcony in the sun. It is flourishing. I will now try to bring it in to my sunniest spot and see if it does ok.0

Good valueEasy to read and easy to adjust. You can set the volume to a level that will awake you in the next room. Good if you are very hard of hearing as I am.0

Easy to installThis product came with even a link to a video to guide installation. It includes every wipe, tool, duster to install. So far no problems. The company seems intent on pleasing customer with its products and its responsibility and reliability.0

Great quality and easy place to useI’ve only owned this pot for a few hours, but I have used tea pots for years. This is a personal sized pot. We are two people in our 80s and we don’t need tea for 12, so this is perfect size. The strainer fits well, and it is easy to put tea in and easy to clean. So far everything is above average. It is an attractive pot. That’s nice because I leave it out all the time.0

Pleased with product and deliberyUsed it for red raw skin after radiation treatment for cancer. Easy to use and effective.0

Authentic police workThe police work description in the novel seemed quite authentic and not glamorized. The story sequence was adept, and kept this reader’s attention. In Shakespearean style, every character is filled out, even minor characters, such that personalities are unique and no character seems like a stereotyped place holder. I wondered if for some readers the psychological profiles might interrupt the flow of the narrative, but I am a retired clinical psychologist and these descriptions seemed insightful to me. This author knows more about people than just what one could glean from police work only. I’m interested in a sequel.0

Easy, handsome and effectiveBeautiful pot, easy to use, and it makes coffee well.0

Interesting events; developing character.The sequence of events were engaging, if somewhat confusing to this reader who does not know the geography of Sudan and Darfur. Very illuminating about the social, political situation there. Valentin Vermeulen is beginning to reveal some more of the complexity of his personality, as characters often do to their authors who write sequential novels. I will be interested to follow his development.0

It leaves one wanting more.This is a terse narrative that captures attention. The strongest point Is how I closed the short story wishing for more. Thankfully, there is more at touch of a fingertip.0

Great productIt came so promptly my head is still spinning. It’s also a good instrument.0

A mature mysteryI more subtle take on crime and punishment.0

Well worth readingFull disclosure: I am the George Higgins referred to in the book as Howard Junker’s fraternity Big Brother, the psychologist who worked with LGBTQ people, and as a founder of a clinic for transsexual persons. I concentrated on individual counseling and dealt with 700 persons who identified as transsexual. By the time I retired from practice in 2000, the discussion about LGBTQ persons was shifting from how to aid persons trying to understand themselves and forge their own personal lives, to a complex political dialog in which LGBTQ individuals were pawns on the political chess board, once again being told who they were and how they ought to live.Junker makes the unnecessary but currently required claim that as a cis-gendered white man he is ill-placed to conduct a tour of the closet. As a long time psychotherapist I can testify that one is much more likely to hear and understand those who are very different from one’s self than ones who are similar. With those too similar it is difficult not to hear only one’s own voice.I was beyond delighted to find Junker’s book to be the most intellectually honest work I have encountered on the subject of LGBTQ in at least a decade. Perhaps even, it is the the first since Evelyn Hooker’s first research reports in the 1960s. He comes to his search, his “project” as he calls it, as a describer and as a collector of information. He seems as free from bias or of underlying intentions as one could ask. His only hypothesis, clearly started at the outset, is that the problems of the LGBTQ group are not if their own making. The evidence he presents compellingly supports his suspicion.There are data I wish he had included, such as a report of the beloved and revered Sarah Gibson Blanding, president of Vassar College of the late 50’s and early 60’s, quite literally blackmailing an undergraduate student to reveal the names of lesbian women undergraduates. (MacKay and Faderman’s Wolf Girls at Vassar.) The Junker era was vicious indeed.Junker, in an uncharacteristic mood for this book so free of personal agenda, expresses dismay and disappointment that former faculty members of his time, and the current president of Amherst, Biddy Martin, would not talk freely with him. These people, however, all came of age before Stonewall in 1969 and before a president of the United States could champion the rights of LGBTQ persons in an inaugural address. I think their reluctance is evidence of the extreme depth and perseverance of the horror of being queer that existed before and during the era Junker illuminates so well. They are evidence of the truth he describes.This is a valuable book well worth reading.2

A most useful translation and textual commentaryI have read many translations, and that is a good way to begin to understand a text written originally in a language one does not know. This translator’s notes were especially helpful for me. Placed just after each chapter is a blessing, and, his comments were unusually clear to me.0

A knowledgable, readable book worth every minute.Richard Rhodes is well known for careful research and clear writing in his several non-fiction books. This book is no exception. What makes it particularly interesting is his customary and illuminating use of narratives about individuals to illustrate the larger historical movements that he describes. Happily, the book is well documented so that the reader may follow up on details without excess searching for references. The topic is timely, and the book is valuable.9

Not about the Koran textThis book is not about the Koran, but about the history of the Koran. It did not increase my understanding of the Book I have tried to read at all.2

Good product good serviceThe order arrived quickly, it was what I ordered, (Not always the case), and the glasses are truly easy to use. They are sturdy and the clip holds them firmly.0
