This game is an amusing extension of the Game of Life: fidgety swarms of tiny critters wage a war against each other, and you takes part in this battle in real time as a commander of your own living army. Files delivered together with CellFighter provide you with a wide choice of "battlefields". Moreover, you can construct lots of new games by changing rules of the critters' behavior and by placing various extra objects into the game environment...

1 stars (Good idea didn't translate into a book) - I like the idea that Michael Lewis wrote this book/article to defend a man whose coaching techniques are clearly out of style in todays world of my child this and my child that. Having said that I did not like this book: 1) the writing was chopping and hard to follow at times. i had to re-read many sentences to understand lewis' point. 2) the story lacked the depth of lewis' other wonderful books - where's the who/why/what that lewis used to moneyball (and others) educational - i wanted the story behind the story. 3) who were all the pictures of? i found them distracting... i'll continue to read lewis' books bu thope the next one is better 4 stars (Target Audience Young Adults) - I differ with previous reviews lamenting the brevity of the book. Obviously, adults reading the book were thinking in terms of adults. I read the book thinking about my 12-year old grandson and felt it was a perfect book to send him at this stage in his life. This is exactly the type of book you would want to send your grandchildren or have your own children read. It sends a powerful message and being written by someone having been coached by this person at the age of 13 makes it even more valid. It may be short, but that's the beauty of it. It keeps your interest, gets the point across and leaves you wishing for more or better yet, offers the opportunity for discussion with young adults. 5 stars (Will leave you wanting this coach for your children!) - MONEYBALL by Michael Lewis was one of the best baseball books that I have ever read . . . so when I saw the author had another book out, COACH, I made it a point to get and read that one too . . . and I wasn't disappointed, though it is radically different from his earlier effort. MONEYBALL dealt with the economics of professional baseball as it is played today . . . COACH is the story of the author's coach when he was in high school who now--because he hasn't changed his app...

4 stars (Definitely worth it if your a Johnny Damon fan....) - Im a huge red sox fan, so this book was one I was looking forward to. And I was not disappointed by it. It was writen well considering a baseball player wrote it. (although he did have help) I thought that although it was mostly revolving about Johnny Damon's life, it was very good. Johnny Damon is one of my favotire players and anyone else intersted in learning stuff about him that they don't talk about on the radio or TV, I would highly suggest it. 5 stars (Damon is simply the man!!!!!!!!) - As a huge Sox fan this book was aewsome. In it, he reveals the evryday life as a ballplayer and takes you through the good and bad times. He goes through his career from High School to the Boston Red Sox. He especially reviews the 2003 and 2004 Boston Red Sox seasons. The thing that impressed me the most was the fact he was a loyal teammate. This book defends Derek Lowe and Pedro Martinez. He especially defends former teammate, Nomar Garciaparra. He reveals everyting the media said was ludicrous and they ran away from him so he couldn't defend himself and the media could keep doing what they were doing. He also pretty much says the media ran him out of Boston but prior in the book he reveals the Red Sox owners owned alot of that media.They also have a partnership with Nomar's biggest critics, the Boston Globe(Damon doesnt say that in his book, but it is a fact). He simply loves Boston and the fans so it is a must read for Boston fans. 3 stars (Johnny's Right, He Is An Idiot) - Up until I read this book, he was my favorite Red Sox player. Now, not so much. He truly is an idiot and a self centered one at that. No one should speak of the mother of their children in the way he does in this book. His children may read this someday and what will they think. He should be ashamed of himself. ...
