Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Great set but I want more) 『I had this as a kid, and it gave me a love for classical music. I am now getting a degree in music education, and I can say that these recording are quite good (for a VERY large mixed collection). It is not the London Symphony, but like the other reviewer said, the biggest problem was coughing.
My only issue with this recording is that when possible, pieces were shortened. For example the first movement of Beethoven's 5th on the Beethoven disc, is played with NO repeats.』
(large collection, so-so quality) 『This box set has a fairly extensive collection of classical music for the casual classical-music-listener (someone like me who just likes to have classical music on when reading or studying). BUT I wouldn't call the quality that great (e.g. one of the tracks has coughing in the background - I guess it was recorded at a live concert).

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Misleading!) 『I'd give this item a higher rating if the description wasn't misleading.
These are not leather. No where on the package are these even claimed to be leather. The seller has certainly made a mistake with these and should correct it.
These are of a man made material, similar to leather in look but thiner and a bit plasticy. They wear well, but get a bit hot and sticky after long periods of wear or on hot days.
Worth mentioning is that the metal plate is very nice in quality and the Sound symbol is done accurately, some products do not show the symbol correctly.
These gloves are large enough to fit adult males easily. I am a small female and these gloves are fine for costume, but the fit could certainly be better, however they come only in one size. The size can be adjusted at the wrist but the fingers and body of the glove will still be loose if you have small hands.』 『Licensed Naruto anime merchadise.

I was loving the story from beginning to end, surprised by the final revelation, but the cliffhanger ending with not more stories in sight leaves a sour taste in my mouth. I feel like someone enamored by a tv series only to be left with a cliffhanger ending and the series canceled right after that.
Still, if you're a fan of the series I recommend this book.
PS: This book is a manga sized tpb.』 『This is it, boys and girls! Alex Fleming, a.k.a. SpyBoy, comes face to face with his greatest challenges ever - his senior prom, his graduation from high school, and the long-awaited revelation of the truth about his mother!

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Not bad-they may want to consider doing this as a movie...) 『Final Frontier is one of the better Star Trek novels that I've read. It's a shame that it wasn't consulted more closely when the newer Star Trek television series were written, as it closes a few loopholes in the Star Trek chronology (and probably opens a few others). Nevertheless, this is worthwhile reading. My only complaint is that some of the major events near the end of the book perhaps don't get the detailed descriptions that they deserve, which is a little disappointing, since if they had been fleshed out more, this title would have truly been deserving of a movie production.』
(Father and sons) 『When James T. Kirk entered Star Fleet he was following in his father's footsteps. George Kirk had served on a space station in the early days of the Federation, an assignment that put a strain on his marriage and caused him to be away from his sons most of the time. He kept in contact with them through letters, letters that his youngest son kept. When Jim Kirk was re-evaluating his life and the price of a career in Star Fleet he returned to his family home in Iowa and re-read those letters to decide if the price was too high.
FINAL FRONTIER switches between two story lines, James Kirk's visit to Iowa occurs shortly after the events of 'The City on the Edge of Forever', Kirk is depressed at the loss of Edith Keeler. He is seeking the advice of his father through the letters George had written the boys 25 years ealier. The second story line is about George's life at the time he wrote those letters while on a classified mission abroad the ship that would become Enterprise.
For avid fans of the series this is a treasure trove of background information about the Kirk family and the beginnings of Star Fleet. For more casual fans though it is not as interesting since there is very little real action for the more familiar characters of (James) Kirk, McCoy and Spock. Carey does handle the characters well, and is respectful of the 'canon' laid down by the original TV shows.』
(An excellent prequel to much of the Star Trek original series storyline) 『This book is the prequel to the Star Trek saga, the career of James Tiberius Kirk, Star Fleet, the United Federation of Planets as it existed in the original series, the battles with the Romulans and the magnificent starship known as the Enterprise. James Kirk is on shore leave in Iowa and questioning whether he should go back into space. He is reading some letters written to him by his father George Kirk, who was a military man in space. Those letters express regret for not spending enough time with Jimmy and his brother and it appears that George may be about to give up the life of the space adventurer. The story then moves to the adventures of George Kirk. A ship has become disabled and given the distance and the ion storms in the area, there seems to be no hope of rescue. However, the Federation has been working on a new class of ships, the mighty starship, and the prototype is ready for action. Kirk and his friend Drake are kidnapped and taken aboard the new and unnamed ship. The current captain is Robert April, a good man but probably not an effective prototype for a star ship captain. The new ship moves out and immediately fails. Kirk is suspicious and suspects sabotage. Suddenly the warp drive malfunctions and they find themselves in the middle of Romulan space very close to the Romulan home world. There is a Romulan ship nearby but it is rife with political infighting. A dictatorship led by the Praetor has taken control and the Romulans are about to launch an invasion of Federation space. This is after the Romulan-human wars mentioned in the episode "Balance of Terror" so it appears that a new interstellar war is about to break out. The task of the star ship is to somehow extricate itself from the dilemma and prevent the new war. Fortunately, Kirk is able to "capture" the Romulan commander, a man with beliefs similar to those of the Mark Lenard character in "Balance of Terror." While he will do his duty to the Empire, he has no desire for war. Within those bounds, he helps the crew of the star ship defeat the Romulan forces and trick them into believing that the Federation has cloaking technology and is ready to crush the Romulan forces ready to invade Federation space. The trick is very similar to that used by James Kirk in the episode, "The Deadly Years." This is an excellent story, Carey provides believable prequels to many plot devices that we encounter in later episodes. Unfortunately, we never do learn why James Kirk was given the middle name "Tiberius." 』
(Possible Romulan first contact?) 『In "The City on the Edge of Forever", onee of the best-loved original Star Trek episodes, Spock and Capt. Kirk have to prevent a drug-crazed Dr. McCoy from saving a woman from being struck by a car in 1930's Earth---a woman Kirk ends up falling in love with. This novel begins by picking up where that episode leaves off.
Kirk, now seriously debating whether or not he should resign his Starfleet commission, takes shore leave on Earth where he manages to take comfort in letters from his father, Commander George Samuel Kirk Sr.
But these letters are more than just conversations between father and son. They contain clues to the mystery of one of Starfleet's most highly classified first contact missions that went horribly wrong...and at the same time made the Enterprise truly worthy of her name, twenty-five years before Kirk would assume command.
I gave this book four stars because it isn't the easiest Star Trek read in the world, since you have to wade through a lot of "background" or "historical" information to get to some of its most important points, but it is very well written; I enjoy it mostly for the great amount lot of insight given to the character of Jim's father, and what the Enterprise might have been like as an unmarked, unregistered, completely brand new Starfleet prototype. I have only one negative: George Kirk's befriending of the Romulan Field Primus t'Cael adds good drama, but it doesn't quite gel with the idea that eventually the Romulans and the Federation would go to war, which would lead to the creation of the Neutral Zone (see classic episode "Balance of Terror"), but it's still a good book.』
(The First Enterpise) 『Diane Carey's"Final Frontier"has to be a must read for any fan of the original series. It tells the first story of the Enterprise before it acquired it's legendary name. Under the captaincy of Robert April; George Kirk (Jim's father) embarks on the test run of the infamous ship. The adversary in this one is the Romulans. We get a glimpse of their uncompromising world of political treachery within their own ranks. This one is everything the new prequel series should be. Alive with interesting characters that act like real humans; unlike some of the Starfleet members we've seen on TV in the show Voyager. If there is any book that needs a reprinting it's this one.』 『Commander George Samuel Kirk was aboard the Enterprise under the command of Captain Robert April before his famous son was born. Starfleet has just been founded and the Enterprise has just been built, and is sent on its first mission. The mission takes the Enterprise into the heart of hostile Romulan territory, where cosmopolitical machinations and advanced weapons technology will decide the fate of a hundred innocent worlds.』
