Fri, 14 Apr 2000 19:39:12 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author schroeder360 - The Toyota Corolla is a great car to own if you are on a budget or you look for anonymity when purchasing a car or you don't need a whole lot of space, power, luxury, or pinache in your car.

The design is nice, but is forgetable. Nothing...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author schroeder360 - The title will be understood after reading this novel. Trust me.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author schroeder360 - This book does not leave you feeling all warm and fuzzy inside. Well, I take that back. For me, the fact that I finished a novel the size (and weight) of a brick made me feel a little fuzzy, but not too warm, which was probably due to this recent...
