I picked this one up at the library, intrigued because it starred Edward Norton and I'm a fan of his from Fight Club. The cover shot made me assume it was a romance, and I love romantic... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~475100712580 Wed, 24 Jun 2009 17:57:56 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_475100712580?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_462675873412?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author pootzygirl - Robert Cormier, known better for The Chocolate War, has a strange but endearing coming-of-age tale here in Frenchtown Summer. It's difficult to describe the book. It is written in short chapters of poetic verse, but this is not Shakespeare or even rhyme... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~462675873412 Tue, 3 Mar 2009 12:02:55 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_462675873412?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_457349369476?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author pootzygirl - I have 2 of his cds (the other one being Room for Squares) and I think they are both amazing. I think he was one of the finest musicians out there today. This cd is good and worth listening to over and over again. It's great for just relaxing,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~457349369476 Sat, 10 Jan 2009 15:31:58 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_457349369476?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_439255928452?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author pootzygirl - Every now and then I like to read a kid book because sometimes I get reader's block from all the formulaic adult fiction out there. This was a lovely choice and I'm quite pleased with Dick King-Smith for giving us a light, enjoyable, endearing story... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~439255928452 Wed, 30 Jul 2008 21:19:06 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_439255928452?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_419976810116?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author pootzygirl - I'm not a professional music critic, and when I write a review about a cd I have in my possession, it's not going to sound very intellectual. I just listen to the songs and tell you what I think of each song. I may be "wrong" to some people, who forget... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~419976810116 Wed, 27 Feb 2008 00:59:27 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_419976810116?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_419665514116?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author pootzygirl - A long time ago, even before Tigerlily came out, someone told me I looked like Natalie Merchant. Then I started listening to her songs, and I realized I sound a lot like her too, when I sing. The radio played the song Carnival a lot when it was released,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~419665514116 Sun, 24 Feb 2008 17:36:14 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_419665514116?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_419559542404?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author pootzygirl - This cd has 10 songs on it. I love 9 out of 10. I say love without mistake. He's got to be one of the best vocalists and lyricists out there these days. I've got 2 of his cds now (also Back to Bedlam is great!) and I'm proud to say I'm a fan. Between... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~419559542404 Sat, 23 Feb 2008 20:51:00 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_419559542404?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_419453701764?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author pootzygirl - There is not a bad song on this cd. I've been a fan for awhile and I had listened to his newer cd (Love, Pain, and the whole crazy thing) but I prefer this one. The songs are more uplifting and better to dance to or groove to in the car. 1. Days Go... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~419453701764 Fri, 22 Feb 2008 22:47:35 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_419453701764?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_419335540356?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author pootzygirl - I love Leonard Cohen as a musician and as a book writer. Ever since I first heard the song "Everybody Knows" (on the soundtrack for the film "Pump Up the Volume", I've been a fan. So I had to get and read this book. It's the weirdest book in my library... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~419335540356 Fri, 22 Feb 2008 00:57:25 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_419335540356?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_417913147012?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author pootzygirl - If you consider yourself a fan of bluegrass or country music than I don't care what the price is you have to have this album in your collection. Alison Krauss and Union Station have succeeded in bringing bluegrass/country music to the limelight with... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~417913147012 Mon, 11 Feb 2008 07:30:33 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_417913147012?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_417328631428?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author pootzygirl - I am bipolar and I have to take Abilify, and sometimes Clonazepam when needed to control my mood swings. In the past, I've had doctors that overmedicated me. So when I saw this book at the CVS while picking up my prescriptions, I thought it was an... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~417328631428 Wed, 6 Feb 2008 09:45:08 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_417328631428?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_416317017732?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author pootzygirl - I'm so insecure now about writing a review. It's like all the SH's are like jelly-fish stinging me, and I'm forgetting how to swim. I need a floating device. A guide to get me back to the writing that is looked upon with kinder eyes. This softbound... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~416317017732 Tue, 29 Jan 2008 12:38:44 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_416317017732?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_407701786244?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author pootzygirl - I saw this film a long time ago. It's a 1984 Paramount. When I found it at the video store I had to have it, because I am a diary-writer and I remembered that the woman's diary was a key proponent of the story. What I forgot about the film was how hot... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~407701786244 Tue, 13 Nov 2007 23:34:16 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_407701786244?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_407335767684?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author pootzygirl - I've seen the film Amadeus (enjoyed it very much) and I've seen Immortal Beloved (also very good), so I figured if I enjoyed films about Mozart and Beethoven, I'd probably enjoy a film about Chopin. And I was right. This is a classic film about a... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~407335767684 Thu, 8 Nov 2007 14:50:06 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_407335767684?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_407302999684?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author pootzygirl - I was born in 1971, when Nixon was in his 3rd year as President. Throughout my life, I never really understood politics, and when people would ask me about it or ask me to choose a side, I would feel flabbergasted. Contemplating all that I just... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~407302999684 Thu, 8 Nov 2007 01:41:49 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_407302999684?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_404659998340?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author pootzygirl - I bought this book because it was on "Top 10 Bestsellers" shelf at B&N and I wanted to read something that would help me understand modern literature readers/writers. (I'm not certain if by reading this book, I accomplished my goal.) The quote on... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~404659998340 Tue, 2 Oct 2007 21:14:09 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_404659998340?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_340118900356?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author pootzygirl - I admit it, I love this movie, for so many reasons. Set in England, in the years before women could earn their own money, this is Jane Austen's story of sisterly devotion and the lessons of romance. Kate Winslet (Marianne) and Emma Thompson (Elinor)... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~340118900356 Wed, 28 Mar 2007 17:04:42 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_340118900356?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_339024383620?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author pootzygirl - I saw this in the theatre when it came out over 15 years ago. It was the first movie I had ever seen with Julia Roberts. I fell in love with her, and at that time I thought this was such an adorable modern fairytale romance. Later I had it on video and... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~339024383620 Mon, 26 Mar 2007 13:33:49 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_339024383620?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_338526506628?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author pootzygirl - I saw this movie for the first time when I was only 19 years old, over 15 years ago. I had the video in my collection and watched it every now and then just to refresh my memory about why I fell in love with it from the first viewing. No matter how many... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~338526506628 Sun, 25 Mar 2007 13:29:20 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_338526506628?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_338256694916?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author pootzygirl - Oliver Stone is an incredibly talented director, but a lot of people who consider themselves big Doors fans or experts about the facts of what "really" happened, consider this film a poor representation. They have to consider what Oliver Stone is about... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~338256694916 Sat, 24 Mar 2007 23:36:51 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_338256694916?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_338194435716?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author pootzygirl - If this film was a novel, the genre would be historical romance. Since that is my favorite genre of literature, it's really no wonder why this is one of my favorite romantic films. But there's more to it than that. This is the adventure and love... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~338194435716 Sat, 24 Mar 2007 22:19:49 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_338194435716?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_337857449604?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author pootzygirl - This is a fascinating and memorable film. If you are a fan of either Brad Pitt or Bruce Willis, it's a must see. If you enjoy societal satire or science-fiction/suspense, it's a must see. If you like films that are thoughtfully and artistically directed... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~337857449604 Sat, 24 Mar 2007 03:23:49 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_337857449604?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_251914587780?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author pootzygirl - Kathryn Lasky has written a delightful, historical story beautifully illustrated by Kevin Hawks. I was attracted to the book for its hard cover, beautiful jacket, and interesting title.

Yet, I have enough of an ego to make this bold approach, especially since this book in particular... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~250744180356 Sun, 27 Aug 2006 10:12:28 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_250744180356?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_250637356676?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author pootzygirl - I found this book at the library and the title "Memories of my Melancholy Hores" (That's spelled incorrectly so this review can be submitted.) caught my eye because I wondered how a prostitute might be romanticized into a novel with such lovely cover... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~250637356676 Sat, 26 Aug 2006 19:14:50 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_250637356676?linkin_id=8003929
