question:
Good Basic Guide to Cruising . I bought the book to begin CLIA training.  This book is very basic, but covers many different aspects of the cruise industry.  If you are beginning to work in cruise sales, or are just interested in cruising, I would definitely recommend it.
answer:
POS


question:
Am Israel Chai . This a compelling true story in which anyone who reads it will be swept up.  It is about three men , Israel Carmi , Jochanan Pelz and Arie Pinchuk, who form the Jewish Brigade , a division of Jewish soldiers from Israel, in the British army-"the first official Jewish fighting force since the fall of the Judea to the Roman legions". At the time when Jews are being victimized and lead like sheep to the slaughter , the Jewish Brigade , with a yellow Star of David emblazoned to their uniform , fighting for the Jewish people , and their homeland of Israel, shows the world that Jews can fight back and win.  It also tells the remarkable story of Arie Pichuk's sister Leah , and her escape from the Nazis , surviving as a fugitive in the Ukraine , before joining  the anti-Nazi Partisans.  After the war , the men witness first hand what the Nazis have done to their people, and set off on a course of identifying , finding and killing Nazi officers who have participated in the holocaust.  Their hatred and ferocity threatens to overwhelm them , until a chance encounter with an orphaned Jewish girl sets them on a more constructive course-smuggling Jewish boys and girls into Israel, despite the British blockade which tires to prevent Jews from entering the ancient homelnd from which they where forced out by the Romans two thousand years before.  It is therefore a true narrative about the re-establishment of the State of Israel , where Jewish children can grow up insafety and live as free men and women , in a free homeland of their own.  That is Zionism , which has been so maligned by evil forces , who want the Jews to fall pray to genocide again.  Every descent person , Jew or Gentile , needs to dedicate themselves to ensuring that Israel survives as a Jewish State in which Jews can live freely and safely.  Anything else will guarantee another holocaust.  Israel and the Jewish people are faced with the same genocidal hate today , that the Jews where faced with during World War II  Our heroes play a role in defending Israel after the fledgling state is attacked by five Arab armies , hellbent on genocide.  Am Israel Chai.   The People of Israel live!

question:
NOT anywhere near as good as the movie. . I realize that by writing this review I'll probably have a fatwa issued against me by the comic book fan community, but this graphic novel was a major disappointment.  I came to it because I liked the movie so much.  I found it to be misogynistic and tedious to read (entire paragraphs of text repeated, as if the writer couldn't think of enough to fill out his story).  The artwork was ugly.  The plot lines were sometimes hard to swallow, characters' motivations not believable.  It was the spark of a great idea that the movie producer(s) turned into something excellent
answer:

NEG
