Small play on a big subject
921844
The big subject is terrorism. The movie could be a good play because there are only four characters and three settings. The characters are a recently laid-off accountant with a poor work history, his babe-a-licious hollywood wife, a middle-eastern chemistry student, and an FBI agent. The settings are the accountant's apartment, his car, and the Arab student's apartment. The laid-off accountant spends all day watching terrorism stories on cable news. Eventually he begins to suspect his Arab neighbor of being a terrorist. His wife thinks he is crazy and leaves him. The FBI agent tells him the Arab student passes a background check and is not under investigation. The accountant takes matters into his own hands as he feel is his "Civic Duty." It would be a spoiler to say what he does or whether he was right in doing it. Given the small budget of the film, I would say it was simple and well done. If it had bigger budget, much more elaborate things could have done to make it a more complex and compelling story. As it is, I would say it worth renting or waiting for it to come on television, or maybe see it as a play with live actors.

I enoyed this little book and the way it was proesented to a point. It was a good presentation for the subject.

I have seen a preview copy of this play. I found it to be an interesting and creative look at what may have taken place in the interview that JPII had in prison with his would-be assassin. It also ties in with the "bishop in white" from the Fatima visionaries. For a school or theater group looking for a play to perform with a small cast and minimal scenery, this would be perfect.

Short story with a creative presentation.  Short stories are not usually of interest to me because there is not enough development.  But, this one makes a wonderful point in a very fun way.  I think a lot of people can identify with the main character here; he's shy and thinks people won't be interested in what he has to say.  Missed opportunities to relate with others just whoosh by, one after another.  Needless to say, he misses out on creating relationships... and life.  Impactful.

This is just a small, short little book, but it's a fun, quick read if you like this kind of topic.  Worth what I paid, but if the price spikes it wouldn't be worth it.

Each page of this book has a small activity that goes with the words. The materials in the book are pretty sturdy, and are constructed with many readings of folks with small hands.

This book is a wonderful light-hearted introduction to 2-person zero-sum game theory, with delightful examples.  There is some danger that the reader may get an exaggerated idea of the importance of special techniques for games in which the players have a small number of choices.

Very enjoyable SHORT game, that requires advanced planning and a bit of luck. Two people can play, but 3-6 are optimal. No two sessions are alike, as there are endless combinations.

This is a very short one but the author identifies that with - Article - in the title.  It was a pleasant read so I feel it is worth the modest price.

An excellent little booklet that we used for a great small group discussion on a challenging topic.  Biblical, with many illustrations and answers to questions.  Keep in mind, it is only a small booklet on a big topic.  So, if you want to go more in-depth, you would want to get his full-length book.

The facts are short but amazing. The illustrations and photos are colorful and bright. But there are a few problems for reading to young children. Yes, the copy is short but a few times complicated. And there are a few grammatical mistakes -- VALENTINES DAY should be VALENTINE'S DAY.

But parents and children together can enjoy the illustrations and talk about them. It would be a good learning experience to relate the topics to experiences common to children.

I think many family and children can relate to this story. A good way to highlight the topic of too much computer or video game in a lighthearted manner.

This is great fun. But surprisingly small. About the dimension of a playing card. Even newspapers are getting smaller. I still recommend however.

We loved this activity book!  It is small, but has a surprisingly large number of pages -- 64 -- so this isn't one of the eight or so page sticker books.  And the activities in the book follow (a loose version of) the story line of the Three Little Pigs, so it isn't just a random collection of activities that happen to have three pigs in them.  For example, when the mama pig sends the three little pigs to market, she gives them some money, and there's an activity related to how much money each little pig has.  So every activity is part  of the thread of the story, and the activities thus build on each other.  In a pinch, you could use this book to read the story to a child.

This game is more of a quick 5 mins game with a small group of friends. The reasons why I like this game is because it's quite strategic and you kind of have to be a good liar to really mess with your opponents. for the price I think it's a really nice collection to have in your game pile.
