The name doesn't always mean they are the same as you remembered them

The shoe is not the same clarks shoe of the late 1960s.  They are not as well made.  There is less material
in the welt, the footbed is not as rigid.  It may look like a clarks desert boot but it is made of lower quality
material.  Too bad.  I will wear them but not as often as I did my original clarks.

The characters are wonderful as they try to remember who they are and why they are where they are over time. I won't spoil it though! Enjoy.

They all find out the guys are not always who you think they are. But it's not always a bad think either.

Doesn't the title remind you of somebody you know? This is a good book,  very funny, and easy to read.

These aren't anything like the ones from my childhood. They aren't awful, but I was expecting them to be the same based on the description.  I am very sad.  I remember that flavor fondly and was looking for that trip down memory lane. :O(

A difference in culture made somethings a bit odd

This book was writen in a different era so a lot of the references would go clean over someone from today's head. Other than that the book is a lovely collection of touching stories so be prepared for some moist eyes.

This is not the real Drifters. This is a tribute group( with no original members) that got around the issue of using the name by calling themselves the LEGENDARY Drifters. Many of the Drifters' hits are here, but these are not the original recordings. They are all re-recordings and not very good ones. The lead singer's voice keeps cracking, the background vocals are way back in the mix, and the brass and strings are synthesized. Some of the tracks are live and have a certain raw energy to them and their surprise cover of Dion's "Ruby Baby" is actually pretty good, but you would be much better off with the original recordings by the original group.

Film quality is variable; some of these I remember well, some I don't.

Slightly different. They work but not as good as the original equipment.

They do not sound the same as I remember from my days as a teenager. I noticed this when I played the sample
but was unable to cancel the order soon enough.

I struggled with my star rating for this book. How could you not give 5 stars to two women who are telling the story of their own experience through one of the most horrific events in history? The problem is that the book, to be frank, sometimes does not feel authentic. I don't doubt what the women say, it's just that a lot of what they "remember" really seems to be what they were told happened when they were children. They were too young to really grasp a lot of what was going on, which I suppose is a blessing. But the result is that they recount things that they heard rather than what they actually remember. Also, there are a few instances where they attribute statements to Hitler without any backup or source information. There's no doubt that Hitler was a monster, obviously, but it takes away from their story to randomly quote him without references. In the end, this is a very short read with insight from two women who lived through WWII and it's certainly worth reading because we need to learn from our history and honor the victims.

It was a bit confusing in the beginning with the large cast of characters.  There was a chart of who the characters were.  In addition to needing to know their names, some of them had multiple nicknames as well.  Since the book was written about the actual literary and art people of the time, the names are both familiar and some not known as well.  I found it very interesting and was sorry to see it end.

The pages are a bit more flimsy than the original pages that came with the address book that I purchased years ago, but I guess that is a "sign of the times" as things just aren't like they use to be.  The format is the same, so I guess I just will get use to it.

It says it's a Dr. Scholl's, but they just don't feel the same as they used to. That is a reflection of the product not the seller.

The story line was good, but the characters were difficult to keep up with due to the fictitious names. Overall a good read though and a well composed story.

How people can fool you and the repercussions of this. People change over time but we don't always realise this and that can lead to painful results.
