As a class project I had to choose a book by a foreign author. I was recommended "None to Accompany Me" I started reading it as soon as I got it. At first I was terribly confused and bored with the book, but enjoying a challenge I stuck it through and completed the novel. After finishing it I realized I didn't fully understand the purpose of the struggles contained within the pages. I did understand the personal lives of Gordimers' characters but the politics threw me a loop. I now am beginning to realize the tremendous writing ability this author really has. I may not have grasped the concepts at first, but now after reading a few reviews my eyes have begun to open up. This really is a good book.

I could not get into this book at all. The method of writing was very hard to follow. I couldn't tell who was talking most of the time. If there were more than two people in a conversation, forget it. I often had to go back to the begin of the conversation and try to figure it out. There also seemed to be more detail about the "politics" of South Africa than I cared to know or be able to understand. Granted there may be some that would enjoy this, but it lost me. The only thing that kept me from rating this with 1 star is that I did like the ultimate message of the book. I just would have preferred that the message be given it a bit more understandable fashion.

The main purpose for these headphones was so that I could use them with my Xbox. After receiving the headphones, opening the box and looking at all the connection cables, I discovered the the cable for the Xbox is something called a SCART cable. SCART is some kind of connection that TVs in France use! Well, living in Ohio, I don't have a French TV! These things are all but totally useless to me and I can't believe I paid over $100 for them. I guess they'll be going back to Amazon.

There are tons of questionable "Drifters" releases out there, most of them containing inferior remakes of the Drifters' vintage hits by various former members of the group. This is by far the worst that I've ever run across, and that's saying a lot. Although longtime Drifter Johnny Moore is pictured on the cover, he definitely doesn't appear on the CD, which is poorly sung, amateurishly played, and sounds like the work of an anonymous third-rate lounge act. The only actual Drifters song on the disc is "On Broadway," which is just as well, considering the damage that these hacks would undoubtedly inflict on those classics.

These recordings are not the originals. I had to re-order and purchased The Very Best of the Drifters at $10.99 --- This one is excellent -- has all the original recordings with no fillers.

I purchased these speakers for my husband and he loves them. He uses them in his truck with his MP3 player. The sound quality is very good which is surprising for their size. I would recommend them to anyone.
