| Youth book review: Pippi is perfect kid-friendly ... - Andover Townsman Posted: 18 Mar 2010 07:26 AM PDT Kids, school is hard work. It's true! There's a lot of homework, and tests and quizzes, and it's going to be tough for all the years that you go to school. But, there's one thing that I always enjoy doing after a long day of school, and that's finding a great book to take me away from all the hard work. One of my favorite books to read on a rough day, and a great book for people of any age, is "Pippi Longstocking," by Astrid Lindgren. "Pippi Longstocking" begins with two young siblings, Tommy and Anika. who are perfectly well behaved, wonderful children who long for a friend to play with them. Their wishes are granted when Pippi Longstocking moves into the house across the street. Pippi is exactly the opposite of Tommy and Anika - she's disorganized, loud, obnoxious, and maybe just the tiniest bit crazy. However, Pippi, Tommy and Anika end up becoming great friends. They go on all different kinds of adventures, whether they involve thing-finding, Pippi's first day at school (a true disaster), or the circus that comes to town (perhaps an even larger disaster than Pippi's day at school). All the while, Tommy and Anika learn more and more. They learn not only about the outrageously strong, maniacal, crazy, yet loveable Pippi Longstocking as a person, they also learn about the value of having a good friend to spend time with, and taking some time off from being perfect little child to have some good old-fashioned fun every once and a while. One of my favorite defining qualities of this book is that when it is read as a bedtime story, it is almost as fun for the person reading as for the person listening. I have fond memories of when I was younger, and my mom and I would laugh together reading this book before I went to bed. Lindgren has managed to create a story that bridges the generation gap, that parents can enjoy just as much as the kids can, something becoming increasingly hard to do in violent cartoons and comic books. "Pippi Longstocking" was written in 1950, and it reads like it. It's like an old friend from the past coming back to tell you stories of simpler times, when everything seemed better. The book is fanciful without seeming ridiculous, a fictional story that you can still compare to friends and events in your real lives. And that's why it's such a great kids' book. When I was younger, I wanted a friend like Pippi Longstocking. I wanted to go on adventures and get in trouble. I was a thing-finder... and a pretty darn good one too. This book is the perfect feel-good story, a novel that is fun to sit down and read for adults and kids alike, and I would easily give it a nostalgic 10/10. "Pippi Longstocking" has some violence in it, but there's no blood or graphic violence, and it is all for the fun of the book. This book is appropriate for all ages. So kids, the next time you're at your local library, look for "Pippi Longstocking," bring it to your mom or dad, and tell them that you want them to read it to you. Neither of you will regret it. Now I have to go get into bed. But I'm not going to sleep yet. I have some reading to do first. So, if you'll excuse me, "Pippi" is waiting. ÔÇæÔÇæÔÇæ The writer is an Andover resident and student at the Pike School who writes reviews for children and young adults. About Townsman youth book reviews Harry Wood and Mari Miyachi, who attends Phillips Academy private high school in town, are Andover youth who write youth book reviews for the Townsman through its What's Up Program. What's Up allows youth in the community to contribute to the paper. One of Mari or Harry's reviews appears almost every week in the paper. They are continuing a tradition started by current college students John Chartier and Jamey Caron, who began writing Townsman reviews when they were middle-school age, and who continued writing them until they left for college. Students work with editor Neil Fater. Five Filters featured article: Chilcot Inquiry. Available tools: PDF Newspaper, Full Text RSS, Term Extraction. | |

| Beware of Bogus Online Reviews - Associated Content Posted: 18 Mar 2010 08:02 AM PDT If you shop online and depend on online reviews to help you make your buying decisions, you must be warned and beware of bogus online reviews. What is a bogus online review? It is one that is not coming from the source you expect it to be coming from which is namely a normal consumer like you. For instance, if you are shopping for a new television set, you may go to a site such as epinions.com or Amazon.com to see what normal users are saying about the current television sets being sold. This can be a great way to get honest opinions about products before you buy them. However, some companies are starting to become dishonest. Some companies are paying their workers to post glowing reviews about their products on user reviewer sites, posing as an ordinary user. However, there are some tale tail signs that a posting has been made under false pretense instead of being written by a normal user. Here are a few common warning signs: • The review contains too many positives • The review isn't written in a normal way. Instead, the writers uses bullet points to emphasize some aspects about the product • If there is any criticism, it is a very mild one that would not change your mind in purchasing the product • The demographic of the person writing it is broken down in a precise method. The person refers to him/herself as a 'Busy mom' or 'a traveling businessman'. Normal reviewers would talk about the product, not themselves. What is being done to stop companies from hiring their workers from posting such reviews? If caught, they can be sued. The company Lifestyle Lift was caught giving their employees the assignment of posting glowing reviews of their business. They were sued and fined $300,000. What can you do to make sure that the reviews you are reading are true user based reviews? Your best bet is to read them and try to judge them for yourself. If the posting sounds like something a real person would write under normal circumstances, it could be a real review. Five Filters featured article: Chilcot Inquiry.
