Advantages: Educational, mini games are fun to play Disadvantages: US dictionary, somtimes doesn't read the letters correctly you write with stylus
This review is for the Nintendo DS educational product, MyWord Coach, developed and published by Ubisoft.
The aim of this product is that you play it each day to improve your daily score, which is represented by an expression potential measure. As you progress through the game, the aim is to increase this expression potential measure, although you will likely find it nearly impossible to reach 100%.
As you progress through the game, there are more and more mini games that are unlocked. The game has numerous different games to keep up the interest in learning new phrases and spellings, such as block letter which is a tetris type game, and split decision, where you have to select the right meaning for a word.
The controls in the game are easy to use, and for most of the game, you will need to use the stylus and touch screen. This is ...
Advantages: Unputdownable and the author is working on a fourth Disadvantages: It eventually comes to an end
These is myWords is the first book in a trilogy. Books two and three are titled Sarah's Quilt and Star Garden. I warn you now, you'll enjoy These is myWords so much that you may as well order all three together.
Why I am recommending this book:
Late last year I was browsing Amazon and clicked on one of those links where other customers discuss their favourite books. Someone was raving about These is MyWords by Nancy E Turner and the comments which followed supported the reviewer's opinion that this, possibly, was the best book she'd read - ever.
The author, Nancy E Turner, was inspired to write this fictionalised diary based on the real-life reminiscences and experiences of her great-grandmother, Sarah Agnes Prine, whose family lived and worked in the Arizona Territories. Arizona is a dramatic ...
Advantages: Sombre, poignant, affecting Disadvantages: Couple of right royal stinkers
WHO'S THIS THEN?
-----------------------------
It's Johnny Cash: the biggest and possibly most famous country singer ever. He recorded well over 75 albums and some 1100 tracks in a career spanning 50 years. He died at the end of 2003, shortly after the release of this album.
WHAT'S THE ALBUM LIKE?
---------------------------------------
Johnny knew he was dying when he recorded this album and so it makes it possibly one of the saddest, sentimental albums ever in that respect. He recorded a quadrilogy of albums in the 21st century with Rick Rubin (who produced Beastie Boys and Run DMC in the 80s and Korn in the 90s). I personally detest country music, but there's something about Cash's voice - and this album in particular - that proves the exception to the rule.

Album Notes
Personnel: Johnny Adams, Aaron Neville, Nick Daniels, Charles Elam III, Earl J. Smith, Jr. (vocals); Walter "Wolfman" Washington, Michael Toles (guitar); Jim Spake (tenor & baritone saxophones); Scott Thompson (trumpet); Craig Klein (trombone); David Torkanowsky (keyboards); George Porter, Jr. (bass); Donnell Spencer, Jr. (drums); Elaine Foster (background vocals). Recorded at Ultrasonic Studios, New Orleans, Louisiana from February-April 1998. Includes liner notes by Len Romano and Scott Billington. Think soul music is a thing of the past? Or classic R&B, or whatever you'd call the genre that gave the world the music of Aretha Franklin, Otis Redding, Bobby "Blue" Bland and Al Green? Think again--think MAN OF MY WORD. Adams' powerful yet velvet-smooth voice is rich with the gospel and blues roots of soul/R&B. His singing recalls Solomon Burke, Walter Jackson and Jerry Butler, with a touch of early '60s Marvin Gaye. He's backed by a combo of New Orleans and Memphis players (featuring blues guitar ace Walter "Wolfman" Washington) who can make with restrained, old-style funk ("Bulldog Break His Chain,") put a country tinge in a wistful ballad ("I Don't Want to Know") and play the blues (the Robert Cray-like "This Time I'm Gone For Good"). Make no mistake--Johnny Adams has The Right Stuff, and he does the tradition proud.
