    The Devil Wears Prada DVD arrived in great condition and as described in the description. All items that were listed as widescreen appear to actually be widescreen. I received a good quality product at a great price. This seller, Greenworld Books, shipped quickly via USPS and took care in the packaging. I've enjoyed everything I received from this seller so far. I'm very happy with my purchase and will purchase more from this seller in the future.

    Not his best work

    Though the title story contains some useful info on the Culture, ship minds, etc., this collection has a glib, dashed-off quality, not at all like the compelling, immersive worlds created in Banks' best novels- for my money, "The Algebraist," "Look to Windward," and, slightly less satisfying, "Surface Detail" and "Matter." To put this in context, it's fair to note that I wasn't wild about "The Use of Weapons" or "Consider Phlebas," both of which are highly regarded, and that I actively disliked "Excession."
