Review title: Your Life Insurance Options -- How outdated can it be? Product review: This book shouldn't even be sold any more. Almost any financial book should be updated to reflect the current economic and legal climate. I didn't realize the book hadn't been published/updated since 1993. The rules/regulations and policy types are way outdated and were basically useless. It has a great explanation of underwriting...but that doesn't help much if you're using this as a reference for purchasing insurance. The book by Cliffs Notes is much, much better.

Review title: amazing! :D Product review: i started reading these when i was 13. now i'm 14, and i know it doesn't seem like much, but i've been hooked to this series! =DD the characters all have unique personalities, and the plot is completely packed with suspense. i am going on to book 17 when it comes out, and i treat my collection with great care. : ) i let people borrow my other mangas, but this one is special- i never let it leave my home unless it's in my hands. o_o;i know.. i'm a freak. :9if you're looking for a good new manga to cherish, you should definately pick this one. :Dby the way!! the books are BY FAR better than the anime. if you've seen it, i regret to inform you that you've been cheated. D: the anime barely stuck to the story whatsoever, and if i had to choose between the anime or the manga, it's an obvious choice.

Review title: Psykosonik Music Product review: I have to say, I've never heard any of Psykosonik's commercially released soundtracks. What I have heard from them, however, is the music they wrote for a Super Nintendo game called "X-Kaliber 2097." I doubt many of you have heard of it; it's a rather obscure title-- a side-scrolling sword combat game in the vein of Strider and Run Saber (although the main character is somewhat less acrobatic than the main characters in said titles). The music for that, however basic it was, was magnificent, and I recommend anyone who enjoys Psykosonik's music to give it a listen, as you can find rips of the music from the SNES cart online (legally).The game is great, too, by the way. I recommend it to anyone who wants a fun (but very, very difficult) SNES actioner with great music.

Product review: This is an exercise in bad. Bad music. Bad reproduction quality. When you listen especially to Brownie McGhee, you can see why this stuff was "rare" and wonder why it was ever unearthed. The other artists are a little better, but this whole CD is a total waste of money. Unless, of couse, you award points for cover art; the comely streetwalker there invites you to come and see, but as far as the music goes; well, let's just say it's the equivilent of a cold shower. Save your money.
