Continues a declining trend.

Don't know what's up with Stuart Woods these days, but this book continues a rapidly declining trend. Stick with his older books; they were actually well written. I'm not sure he pays attention to what he's writing anymore, or bothers to re-read the story once he's done with it to see if it makes any sense at all. Don't waste your money on this one. If you're really a fan, get it from the library for free, but prepare to be disappointed.

The Fever sees has been an excellent one, but as the emphasis has switched to Danni the series has strayed from its course. Danni has become less likeable and the interest of the ancient bar owner (Rogen?) Is kind of creepy. The series is at its best when it focuses on Mac and Jericho. Still, I am glad I read it.

Mankind keeps progressing technologically to the use of ever more efficient and refined forms of energy.  Demand for high-grade power will keep rising, requiring new sources of fuel -- which are available in almost unlimited supply. A fossil-fuel based economy is less damaging to the environment than a carbohydrate-fueled (agricultural) economy, contrary to popular belief.  As the transportation and manufacturing sectors of the economy shift to using more electrical power, we should turn to nuclear power to generate it.  Solar and wind power will remain insignificant in meeting demand.  These are the main points of the book, in the opinion of this technology-dummy reviewer.  The book seems unfocused and rambling -- maybe it would have been better if it had been condensed into a long magazine article.  Update:  there is an article by Huber and Mills in the Winter 2005 issue of City Journal (available online) advocating nuclear power that repeats the arguments of the book in less detailed form.

Seems to be less durable and comfortable than the previous iteration. Doesn't look as nice either. I won't buy this line anymore.

Every dated snowflake is about the same.  They are getting boring..

This book reminds me of Jean Auel's Earth Children's series.  As the Earth Children's series progressed, after the first three books, the quality of writing decreased.  With this Outlander series, I am noticing the same progression of decline.  The absolute devotees of both authors can see no wrongs in the story line and book development.  Those readers who want and expect continued good book development are more discerning.  It is interesting to note the progression of reviews for this series.  They start off quite high, then fall off rapidly until only the devoted die-hards continue.  I will continue this series, but in more and and more disappointment.  With book six, it is apparent this author is losing steam.  And writing ability!  This book continues the decline.  The next book, so far stated to be the last, I am pretty much expecting to end as the last of the Earth Cildren's sixth, and final, novel  a total example of literary Alzheimer's.  Hopefully not, but the way this book is done, falling off so badly, it is all I am expecting!  I guess there can only be one J K Rowling, who writes superbly to the end

Very good perspective on why we have risen and now are probably beginning to decline.  They work harder than we do.

I have enjoyed the Benni Harper stories, but her world is becoming hermetically sealed and cloying...I am a child of the sixties and have reflected for years with some shame of our treatment of the men who fought in Vietnam, a wasted and tragic mistake , but not their fault ...however, this book is simplistic in the extreme about the issues and Benni is growing less interesting with each book.

The downward spiral continues. Check out my review of Vol. 1 for more on this dreary new series.

For several years I was a subscriber, but within the pas couple years it seems the quality has gone down. This magazine is no longer something that I enjoy reading every article of as I did in the past. I still get one or two copies a year, but its content has changed for the worse. Now it seems that its more focused on trends and trying to be hip in a metrosexual sort of way.

I've been buying 2.2 lbs of this coffee per month for over a year.  The quality of this coffee has recently decreased a great deal.  The taste is less flavorful and distinctly bitter.  I am cancelling my subscription.  The price is too high for the current quality.

This used to be a great product. Like many American companies today, they are making their packaging smaller with a new design, but with less product.  They also added coconut oil to it which is weird and unecessary.  I guess this is what inflation looks like.  They don't want to raise their prices, but you're getting far, far less than before.  Not cool.

There is nothing new and improved about it.  I won't be buying this anymore if I can help it.

While I like the recurring characters, the recurring theme is becoming stale. Pat needs to bring in a couple new characters and spice it up with some new story lines

I've been using Ray-Ban's for the best part of 30 years . Last few , I noticed a gradual decline in craftmanship , and attention to details . This pair is the drop over the cliff . Oh Well !!...

A good read, but the Jack Ryan series has run its course.  I am a HUGE Clancy fan and have read every book, especially the Jack Ryan series.  Mark Greaney has done a good job, but the story line is getting stale.

The first in the series was excellent, but they are becoming formulaic. I hate the brutalization of women that is central to these books. The characters in the office are becoming tainted with the formula, too.

By the 10th book in this series the formula is getting old.  Depressed English woman goes to Greece, falls in love with the country and a Greek Man, more's away from
 Gray U.K. to sunny Greece. I do love the Greek characters though.
