Title: It would have been an interesting article Review: This book is not really a study of the films of the Perestroika and Yeltsin era. It is more of a sociological study of Russian filmmakers as a class. Faraday presents his thesis (over and over) that late Soviet conditions made the filmmakers a privileged class that resented the restrictions placed on it but failed to connect to popular taste in any meaningful way. Thus when the USSR collapsed, Russian filmmakers were unable to make popular films and became marginalized.This would have made an interesting article, but as a book, it goes on for too long. Also, it would have been nice if Faraday had actually discussed some of the movies. The only movie he discusses at any length is "Burnt by the Sun," which he dislikes as trite in theme and overly pretty. Overall, this was a disappointment. Is this product review negative?

Title: Not so well written Review: I wasn't so pleased with this "history", as it's written more or less in prose format. A more straight forward chronicle would be more to my taste, but hey, it was a free book. Is this product review negative?

Title: Waste of money Review: The paints were dumped out within seconds and the holding container being an odd size did not stay in place on the tub and spilled. All in all, it was a waste of money. My kids prefer the silly foam soap for a lot less money. Hope this helps. Is this product review negative?
