[Q]: Poor excuse for a thriller . Rising Sun was a terrible read.  Crichton uses one device throughout:  the old hand knows everything an hour before the young guy and slowly reveals it to him.  It's tiring and monotonous.  Never mind the even more monotonous lectures on the differences between American and Japanese business cultures.
[A]: NEG


[Q]: Does NOT live up to it's title. . The contents of this activity book do not live up to the title.  Many are not "on the go" activities, let alone easy for little kids to follow without supervision.  As a teacher, this proved to be a poor investment of my time and money.  You would be best to not make the same mistake
[A]: NEG
