Mango - Sascha Funke

Advantages: Consistent quality
Disadvantages: Little variation

...?The Lords Of The Underground came out with their second album, ?Keepers of the Funk? in 1994, and as their name suggest, the New Jersey trio (consisting of members DoItAll, Mr. Funke, DJ Lord Jazz) are a underground rap group, and with this record they were really able to take their names into the mainstream. 1. ?Intro? 2. ?Ready Or Not? They jump straight into it on this one as they show what this album has to offer from the get-go with a tune which references what they came with on their debut, and comments on how exactly they hope to take things forward on this one. It is a fly one, and I felt that it was pretty representative of their music. **Four Stars** 3. ?Tic Toc? From the title alone, most Hip Hoppers should associate it with MC Ricky D?s classic words on ?La Di Da Di?, and this is just what you get for the hook... Read review

Advantages: Functionality, looks, performance
Disadvantages: Slightly more expensive

...a home/mobile/work number, then 10 is just useless. I was also willing to pay a bit more because we have bought cheap cordless phones at work and ended up replacing them because their range was poor and moving more than a few feet away from the phone lost the connection. I was quite interested in a Panasonic when the BT Mango caught my eye and I thought 'wow, cool phone'. Unusual, bright colours of cream and orange and a distinctive shape with a slider mechanism which opens to reveal the number pad. I was sold by its looks alone and when I checked the functions, the deal was done. Unfortunately, it was even more expensive at £109.99 but too late, I'd made up my mind. Also unfortunately, I should have slept on it, instead of acting on impulse because when I looked at it again the next day, I wondered what I'd found so attractive about it... Read review

Advantages: An amazing book, you will be spell bound!
Disadvantages: NONE!

.... The book completely envelopes you with its magic and reading about reading really makes you think that you are there with them. Each character has had so much thought put into them, even down to the tiny details of their past and future. I would reccomend this book to anyone really but maybe only 12+ age should read it as its quite a complex book and has some dark chapters. Its a big book of about 1500 pages, but you wizz through it quickly as you really cant put it down! This book really opens your eyes to what an amazing author Cornelia Funke is, shes so imaginative its untrue! I really cant wait to read her last book in the trilogy, these books are the kind you buy and take such good care of, handing them down to your children thoroughly thumbed through! Even adults can get lost in this book, as more mature experiences are happening such... Read review
