In my own words
I'm back at the review business only now they are short and to the point. Thanks, Doc, for liking my reviews. Short is better! If you get too complicated some third-grader minded people won't be able to understand the language or the content. I am young at heart. The way I look should not matter one way or the other. I do not at present have a digital photo to use on my profile page, but once I do it will appear. Watch for it with bated breath.
Interests
Music of yesteryear, books of famous figures, movies and musicals of the '50s. I have varied interests in the types of books I use for reviews. Nothing is taboo if Amazon will allow it to be reviewed. I don't like the comments section which has been added during the last year as people who know nothing of the book or the reviewer can pan something worthwhile and get away with it. Each person has the opportunity to compose his own review. It can be derogatory but not lashing out at other reviewers who've been here for some time. That's not fair in any way or fashion.

3.0 out of 5 stars In Love In Vain..., July 3, 2008
Wall-e, a trash compacter robot in New York City, goes on a trip to outer space, somewhat like the hobo in 'Polar Express' on the outside of the space ship holding on for dear life. He is pursuing his desire for female companionship. Alas, Walle is very lonely with only a hold over (a type of... Read More
