1.0 out of 5 stars This guy is nuts!, August 1, 2000

This review is from: The Truth About Power Rangers (Paperback)

Sorry to say, but I don't agree with this guy at all. He doesn't even know a thing about "Power Rangers" It has changed so many times, and he's so wrong. The original Power Rangers were the ones that started the DARE program. It is not cheap also, and there is no sexual context in it, out of 9 years that Power Rangers have been on, I've only seen 4 short kissing scences. And to those parents that have 4 year olds, the show is rate TVY7 so pay a bit more attention, thanks, Steven

1.0 out of 5 stars The author is wrong, June 21, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Truth About Power Rangers (Paperback)

The show he is talking about is a great show. Power Rangers teach lessons of life unlike all the other shows (or almost) that I have seen. The problem about this book is that the guy didn't or couldn't look into the real meaning of the show and just looked at the superficial part of it. That part is violent. But the thing is that parents that say that Power Rangers are bad didn't even look at it, so they can't tell their kids what to learn from this show... Those are bad parents since they don't interest themselves at what their kids are doing... I do not recommend this book at all.

2.0 out of 5 stars What I think of the book:, July 23, 2001

This review is from: The Truth About Power Rangers (Paperback)

The Book basically contents the reasons why not to watch the Power Rangers, have good redaction, and elocuent arguments, but, acording with my opinion, it's just another book against a sucessfull serie by attacking it with religion. Acording to the arguments used against PR, all the series of TV are wrong. Instead of be named "The Truth Abot Power Rangers" should be called, "The Truth About the actual TV Shows for children". The book no only attack the TV shows, but the Martial Arts practice. In my opinion, the Power Rangers give a good mesage to the children, by studing, don't quit the school, and make their best in everything they do, and showing comun troubles among the youth, and how they shouldn't feel guilty about things that aren't their fault, like the parents divoce.
