mini-reviews, one of each

Book: The Balkans: A Short History by Mark Mazower is supposed to be the best short book on the subject. I found it confusing, disordered, and not very attractive to the nonspecialist.

Album: The Beatles: "Love", George & Giles Martin's mashup, is certainly ingenious and full of unexpected renditions, but too much of it sounds like a radio trying to pick up two stations at once.

Movie: Little Miss Sunshine I thought I would probably hate, but it turned out to be the perfect balance between painful for the characters and funny for the viewer, this viewer anyway.
