Better than nothing but not nearly the treatment these albums deserve

BEWARE: THIS ENTIRE SET IS TAKEN FROM NOISY VINYL, even the tracks from Golden Down and Places I Have Never Been, which were both previously released on much better CDs. In fact, there was a bonus track on the Razor & Tie reissue of Golden Down that is missing from this collection. Sadly, the aforementioned discs are both out of print, so this may be your only option, and the first album has not been on CD before (which is why I purchased this). Still, if you can find the other releases, they are infinitely better quality. If you can't, this is better than nothing, just not what these fantastic and criminally under-appreciated albums deserve. Also know that Nile continues to release consistently excellent material beyond these three albums. I wholeheartedly recommend his post-Columbia output, especially Beautiful Wreck of the World (1999) and Streets of New York (2006).


worst cd i ever bought

they won't let you put zero star. this album is garbage, not one even decent song. the vocal are horrible like a 6 year old boy. save your money, and your ears


Don't read this right after reading Nineteen-Eighty-Four

I tried to read this after reading 1984 (which I really enjoyed), and found Animal Farm to be really irritating. I guess it's because Orwell is trying to say similar things re:totalitarianism etc., and once you've figured out what he's saying, it's boring trying to get through the actual story. The illustrations in my particular book was annoying too. I think I should try to re-read it next year.


These digital binoculars are a nightmare!!!!

DO NOT BUY THIS ITEM...you would do better just throwing you money out of the window. I was so excited to take some distance pics and tried to upload to my computer (XP) and then i got a message "device not found" even though I had loaded the software. Well, then I went to the bushnell site and went to the trouble shooters section where i found instructions on how to load the more updated drivers...well that didn't work either....i spent over 3 hours fooling around with this stupid set of binoculars...now, i am ready to throw "them" out the window.


GARBAGE !!??

I trust my fellow H5O fans on what has happened to season 10 and how CBS/Paramount has gone bush league on us again, expecting us to buy this "Garbage" no matter how bad it is !I almost purchased this product at a local "Vintage Stock" today but noticed how the front and rear cover look like a 5 year old put it together.The actors faces look all stretched out and 2 photos of Jack Lord are reversed on the rear packaging, not to mention the awful digitally enhanced picture on the cover.Did anyone proof check this thing !Now we all find out the season-10 episodes look like something put out by Alpha Entertainment.No Video or Audio enhancement !Will CBS ever learn their lesson that they cannot screw over their customer !


Great Movie for Angelina's B**** Fans

Nice movie with a resonable story and a keeper for anyone looking to add in his collection great nude scenes with Angelina Jolie.:-)


Easy to make - and very dry

You just throw this in the microwave and it's ready in 60 seconds. The drawback is that it is dry and essentially without much taste. Also the consistency is very slightly rubbery.


Ugh...

Watching this movie would be a complete waste of time. That is if those who do watch it wait until the end. To be honest, it just gets worse as it goes along. Probably better off to play the game instead.


DO NOT PURCHASE KNOCK OFF product

This was a watered down perfumed version of biosilk. This is not the real thing. Beware purchasing from this vendor.SHouldn't even get a one star.


Nice look - Not-so-nice feel

I purchased two of these sports bras based on brand, price, and product description. This is a very uncomfortable bra for runners. The seams chafe and it does not "wick away moisture." The slow shipping didn't help my opinion either. It is a nice bra for less active endeavors.


Works Perfectly

It does what It's supposed to do and that's work. We have been using this card in our Canon SD600 digital camera for a while now and because I failed to order a card with my new Canon T1I DSLR I put this card in my new camera and it works perfectly I even took some 720P HD video with it and no problems. Would recommend to anyone looking for a 2GB card


I'm not into Rap! But this is good!

I'm a 30-something hick from Wyoming who has never enjoyed rap (other than the good-old-days of RunDMC and the Beastie Boys). I decided to buy this album just to see what all the hype was about. I'm impressed! I could care less about some gazillionair whining about what a messed up life he has created for himself. But, Marshal's style, delivery and beat are awesome. It may be misguided talent - but it is talent nevertheless! I don't think this is music to live by - but it is damn entertaining!!!


Disappointing 3d

We were really looking forward to this one after seeing the previews which made it seem as if it was going to be a winner. There was very little 3d at all. The plot was so so. Was mostly a let down


You need a reader.

Two problems with this one. One, the disc packs are recycled paper. They produce little pieces of paper that clog the machine. But, two, you need a reader. This guy is so dry I never finished the story.


Cha-cha-changes

Same group different sound. Daniel is clean and changed. Their sound is different then past records but a touch of certain sounds where they did experiment with different melodies now they hit it differently full time here and it works. I have the CD in my car now and the songs wear on you.


Little Women= The Best Movie Ever Made!!!!!

I REAAAAAly love this movie. Its about 4 sisters and their growing up & getting married, and so on. It takes place during the Civil War. The father is away fighting. The mother [called Marmee] is very kind and charitable to others. It has a perfect cast, and incredible direction. Winoma Ryder and Susan Sarandon were perfect picks for Jo and Marmee. This is also my favorite book, and though they made a good movie out of it, the book is ALWAYS better. If you enjoy this movie, you will also love the book by Louisa May Alcott.


tu as l'air de quelq'un qui va faire une connerie ....

acabo de verla en TV5, en frances y con subtitulos. Hoy por hoy (y seguramente maNana y pasado y al otro) puedo decir que es la pelicula que mas me ha gustado en mucho tiempo.Al acabar de verla me he puesto a mirar por la ventana las habitaciones de las casas de enfrente (vivo en un numero par).No pretendo que esta critica sea util a nadie, porque todo el que la lea seguro que ya ha visto la pelicula y ademas le ha gustado.


Biased Reporting

Very selective reporting on a subject of vital concern to everyone. The authors are so anxious to justify their feminist resentments that the narrative does not ring really true. Still, a very good section on the bias in drug advertisements. Hopefully there will be a more hard hitting, less wordy, truly objective book offered on the topic of how women are discriminated against in the still male dominated medical arena.


Ratt;er One-Seven

Of all the books I have read about Vietnam this has to be rated at the bottom of the list. Obviously written by an amateur, the story was drab and uninteresting. He should have had some professional help in writing this book.


A hot and humid murder mystery.

Nora Robert just gets better and better. I haven't even finished this novel yet, and I'm not usually drawn to mysteries, but this one has me reading late into the night and every chance I get at work. As usual, Nora's character's are believable and the dialogue is witty and sharp. I love the flawed but likable Tucker, the wary Caroline, the colorful townfolk and the ride Nora Roberts takes us on trying to guess who really did it, as nearly everyone is suspect !


not usually the favourite of the type o fan

But this has to be my favourite Type o as well as one of the best albums ever. This is just brilliant goth metal. Very atmospheric keyboards, and crunching guitar riffs. If you like fast metal, than this is deffinitly not for you. Type o is mostly slow which is always good with me. Another band like this would have to be Moonspell.


Excelent performances!

Great movie. Stallone gives an outstanding performance. All the cast is brilhant, Harvey Keitel, Ray Liotta, Robert Patrick and of course, Robert De Niro as always.


Great read, but....

First, I have to say that I found this book difficult to put down. I have devoured everything by my favorite mystery writers (Grafton, James, George, McGown, etc.) and so was thrilled to find a new and untapped "supply."But while it's a good read, this book is full of eye-rollers. Clare spouts the most inane liberal platitudes and seems to confuse mouthy, immature displays of righteous indignation with good moral choices. Really, did she learn nothing in seminary? Secondly, this book is rife with Silly White People Stereotypes (namely, most of the members of Clare's Episcopalian congregation.) There's actually a character named Sterling Sumner. Puhlllease. This is sitcom-level stuff.Despite these complaints, this series still appeals. Which proves my theory that mysteries aren't necessarily great literature, they are namely sleep aids.


"Meditation is food for your soul"

These were the words Dhyanyogi often said. As an American MD trained and boarded in Internal Medicine, I see time and time again, diseases of the body which are borne from mental anguish and spiritual strain.Dhyanyogi's life is a true blessing to this world and a treasure trove of miracles which continue to happen, every day, if you speak to any of his followers.At the age of 9 years, I had the incredible fortune of Dhyanyogi living in my parent's house for about a week. We would arise early and he would teach us yoga and laugh and smile. The energy is INCREDIBLE!Countless times, as I read this book, I felt that same INCREDIBLE energy as palpable now as 25 years ago.I invite you to feel this and watch the spiritual healing, mental peace and physical improvement in your lives!!!


Mess all over

We purchased our Grind & Brew about 1.5 years ago. It worked fine for about 8 months then for some unknown reason the filter compartment started to pop out of place during the cycle. This has created a mess all over the counter many times, coffee, grounds, hot water. When putting the filter in we double and triple check to be sure it is secure but again, in the morning, grounds and coffee all over the counter and running down the cabinets. We are no longer going to use this coffee maker and am disappointed that we paid this much for a coffee maker and only got a year and a half use out of it.


Enjoyed every minute of it!

I read this book many years ago, and I loved it. I took it back a while back, and loved it even more. Now I read it again recently, and still find it most enjoyable. A book about Merlin, brilliant!Highly recommended.


Great CD

This band is fantastic. They have really turned a whole generation on to the funk and groove sounds along with Brand new Heavies. This cd just continues where they left off. Funky and Soulful. This cd is a funk must have...


Not good for DVD or Game Console

The product description for these speakers is misleading. They do not plug directly into a DVD player or game console. Then, after buying the adapters and doing the initial setup, three of the five speakers did not work. Perhaps these speakers are a good solution for PCs, but that's not why we bought them, and we immediately sent them back.


poor quality

After 2 years of light use, the motor burned out drying herbs at 90 degrees. It might be a good price, but replacing it every two years makes for very expensive fruit leather.


Save your time and money. Not worth the paper it's printed on.

Awful! Very disappointed as the premise and reviews were promising. This book was trite with few insights that aren't obvious.


Wouldn't buy again due to the software

I have owned this model for a few years. Its great... EXCEPT for the fact that the software is abominable. It installs a complex myriad of applications and they lock up more often than they run. I tried updating the software and the installation failed. I have given up using it from the PC completely including using it as a printer. I was conintuing to use it for scanning and faxing (scanning to a USB fob works well.)Not any more! Their design is prohibiting me from doing this - they check their ink cartridges for an expiration date and ink level. The device says I need to replace the ink and will NOT allow me to use the fax or scan functions until I do so!!! I can't print with it and now I can't scan or fax with it.Avoid HP for these products.


Not Crichton's best work

An interesting concept, and as believable as always, but much of the book consisted of Crichton over-explaining his theory, resulting in long dull patches interspersed throughout an otherwise good story.


Frustration

This toy could be fun if it were redesigned. The fan is not powerful enough to blow the butterflies out of the trunk. There is a safety button on the bottom of the toy which needs to be pressed past flush to activate the fan. For my son to play with it, I have to hold the elephant and press the button myself. The toy almost has enough power to blow a few butterflies out of the trunk. When they get stuck, I have to shake the toy. It takes so long for the butterflies to come out that my 4 year old gets bored. He has only played once, but the trunk is already showing signs of wear. It looks great in the ad, but DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!


Dont bother

This game is NOT worth $20. My 3 year old and I stood around for 15-30 seconds between each "butterfly". I am going to exchange it today... dont waste your money.


Awsome tool!

I bought this for my Pug, she sheds like crazy and this is smaller version that works great for smaller dogs.


Amazing!

This is the best money I've ever spent on my spoiled, very loved cat. Her coat looked significantly better in less than a week. She had such a thick, dull undercoat she looked uncomfortable, now her fur is sleek and shiny. She actually comes to me whenever I get out the tool to groom her. I can't figure out how it works so well without pulling her fur, but it does and she seems to really like it.


A VERY AUSPICIOUS BEGINNING!

Recently I watched a televised interview with world famous actor, Michael Caine praising Feng Shui methods of colors, and furniture arrangements, for the success of a restaurant he owns. Feng what? I thought. After reading this book, I now have a basic understanding of what it means. It is an ancient chinese systematic approach to creating harmony in your environment which somehow supports your health, career, and spiritual growth. I like the step by step explanations and directions. A very basic and auspicious beginning for those interested in exploring ways to transform their living space. Making the complex simple, is not so easy. The author has presented a fine guidebook.


DONT BUY THIS ITEM

Broke the first time I used it......Too bad..Not made well....I only put a couple of lbs of fruit.


Great product, but need to say

The Envirocare Honeywell air purifier is a very good product. I have been using it for a couple of years. It collects dust, dirt , animal dander and many other allergens very well. I feel the need to say, however, that the price being charged by Plexsupply--the current seller on Amazon, is outrageous. Heads up. You can buy this item --in many stores--for $120-$130.F.D.


Eh

I was in the mood for a light read after reading Orwell's 1984, and I certainly got what I was after. But unfortunately, it wasn't a particularly well written book. My biggest hangup was the continual switching between first and third person -- I had a really hard time getting into the book because of that. I also didn't quite believe some of the key elements of the plot (for example, the part with the guy in LA and what he's truly after, for those of you who've read it). I have a very hard time not finishing a book once I've started it, but I did seriously consider it with this one.


A MUST have!!

I laughed, I cried, I bought three copies. This is one of the most enlightening book you will ever read, please buy as many copies as you can. I have to say he is one of the greatest future brother in laws I can ask for. Great job Pete!


Great step by step instructions

I have been searching for a guide to the arts and craft interior know-how book, not just a lot of idea books which there are a plethora of on the book shelves. This book lays out the sizes of wood to use and the arrangements. I feel now that I can tackle the living room with confidence, something I didn't get with all those picture books of the classical Arts and Crafts interiors.


What have they done to my book!

John W. Campbell is one of the masters of old style Sci-fi. I have had my original paperback for years and was very concerned about damaging it. When I bought this I thought that his was a real re-print of this masterpiece.It's not a reprint, but basically a bad xerox of a paperback and printed on larger paper. There are monstrous margins around the copy. A lot of the pages are actually crooked and edges are cut off.I can't believe someone would not reprint the book but butcher this master work by just doing a cheap photo-copy.This work by Campbell is an classic! This particular book is a cheap farce!


Comeback? Nope, they CONQUERED

This album was not Aerosmith's "comeback" album, it was their crowning jewel, where they showed their musicianship, energy, and determination.Nearly every track spawned an awesome single and I spent many teenage nights rocking out to the entire album.This was Aerosmith's best. Ever.


BFLO Wings and things

My Boyfriend loves this fryer, He is from Buffalo and craves traditional wings like those made in Buffalo NY. He uses this at least once a week. It is perfect for making small batches of fried goodies.I love the fact that it keeps him from distroying my kitchen when he makes fried foods. It never splatters beyond the unit itself. Great fryer for small batches or when one person likes fried food and the other dosen't.


muddy reading

The notation can be hard to follow if you don't have a grasp or natural incline for statistical regression. Steps are hard to come by in some problems because too many steps are skipped for a beginner. It is almost necessary to have at least a basic statistics background before reading this.Even though I had a background and had read ahead, I had to depend on my professor to truly understand the material at all. If your professor has an accent or goes quite fast, and if you don't have classmates you can work with, using this book alone will be more than painful.I would suggest a supplement such as "Using Econometrics: A Practical Guide (4th Edition should suffice) [Hardcover] by Studenmund" if you are just beginning to learn about regression.


I Didn't Get It

I ordered two of these, but received two Sandisk Ultra II 1.0 GB SD cards and two SanDisk MicroMate USB readers instead. I was not asked if the substitution was acceptable or not.


A Poor Choice for Trainers

Well, I don't know how the author is capable of in class or how he can handle students in challenging situations. I can only judge the book based on my reading. Out of the many trainer/teacher books I have read, this is the worst one. First, it's extremely hard to comprehend, and second, it's too biased in its application.As good trainers can tell you classroom management is more than just applying a few psychological tricks. It requires a great deal of instructional design, good materials, comfortable environment, etc.The best teacher I have ever had is the one who cares and willing to go the extra miles. Do I get this out of this grinding book? Of course, not.


What happened to Foster Brooks???

Living in Fji, we do not have much access to the latest TV shows and movies.We were fortunate a couple of months ago to see the "Make 'Em Laugh" series on Pay TV here. It was great to see the old comics and learn so much about their craft. In particular, we enjoyed the "Pilot" sketch with Foster Brooks and Dean Martin. We have always had a soft spot for Foster Brooks and bought the DVD to have a permanent record of the "Pilot".We watched the series all the way through and it seems that the "Pilot" has already flown away!!!!One wonders how many other scenes were cut from the original series in the making of the DVD.We will definitley think twice about buying anything from Amazon in future.


Gone is the complexity and caustic edge....

Anxiously awaiting new material for months...this CD is a disappointment. Gone from the mix is the complexity so vital to Garbage's sound on their previous work. Gone is the mean edge...Gone are the the extreme ranges of Shirley's vocals...for what now sounds like a 60s sweetheart, slightly sad, sound... I really hate to say it, but I think Version 2.0 was the apex for Garbage...and this album lacking any pictures in the linear notes except for very plain headshots of the band under the CD, only confirms the very striped-down and sadly deflated sound of this new material.


Only an average thriller.

While entertaining, this book is very predictible. There aren't any surprises, so you are left with Coontz's description of events to entertain you. He does a good job describing the action and the CIA inflitration of CUBA. Grafton is a minor player in this book, his only job being to monitor an attack that he is in charge of. Still, this book is easy to read and not a total disappointment.


Amazing.

I was afraid that this would be like Eddings,but it definately was not!His romance,characters,and magic is so believable,so real that you just have to get into it.Richard Cypher,a common woodsman,one day saves the woman Kahlan,who turns out to be looking for a great wizard,the only one who may know how to kill Darken Rahl.When this wizard turns out to be Richard's friend Zedd,he gives Richard the magical Sword of Truth and sends him on a journey(of course Zedd comes too)to destroy Darken Rahl....


Don't you want to hear good music?

That was fun! Oh wait, you haven't seen it yet. 24 Hour Party People is a worth-see, even if you know very little about the Manchester punk era and the name "Joy Division" makes you go, "huh?" But the more you know about the era the more you will enjoy the self-referential storytelling that Michael Winterbottom makes fly from the opening flying scenes. And thank you Steve Coogan for embodying Tony Wilson so well that he comes across entertainingly, theatrically real without being likeable at all. The film does run out of story to tell towards the end, but what a ride and what a great tale of a true come-back kid. (FYI, there's a really good Joy Division boxed set now available called "Heart and Soul"/2001)


Mrs. Meyers Needs to Tone things down

This gets 2 stars because its soap and it works like soap- it gets my hands clean.In the mean time, though, it smells awful. The scent is sooooo overpowering that my husband and I pretty much hate it. We have the Lavender scented soap and it is just bad. It almost has a sort of metallic tangy smell to it- not like any lavender I've ever met.


this title is almost bigger than the text

this is the only book in the royal diary series that I could not bring myself to finish


so lame

only a couple funny lines, if you like chickflicks its just like every other one they are just spitting out of hollywood. mediocre storyline, not worth seeing again. the blond british chick is the best character in the whole movie


Love those Cohen Brothers

This movie was kind of strange but then again so are most of the Cohen brother's movies. It's no "Raising Arizona" but that is pretty hard to live up to. It kept me entertained and although it wasn't laugh out loud funny, I liked it. The soundtrack was a hoot!


Ham acting at its worst!

After watching this schlock, I realized my mistake. I actually bought this nonsense and thought it was a scary movie! Boy was I wrong this flick isn't good enough to scrape mud off the bottom of my shoes! If for some reason this movie is ever bought by anyone for a scare look someplace else. I guarantee you'll be laughing more than actually being scared!


Thank you

My bf and son are enjoying this book lot.. Thank you. it is a nice book. keep the god work.


Very interesting with a lot of never before seen footage

The Grey Wolves series is all black & white news reels filmed by the Germans during WWII. These news reels would normally be played to the general German public in movie theaters, etc. The program lasts around one hour. While this program runs, you see the footage which is in German, while an English speaking person talks about what you are watching. Over the English talking, you can still hear, just barely, German being spoken in the background.I'm a big WWII buff & I have watched a ton of WWII programs. 99% of GW:1942-1943 I have never seen before.I enjoyed GW '42-'43 a lot more than GW: '39-'41. The '42-'43 deals a lot with the U-Boat Campaign off the United States. GW: '39-'41 deals with a lot of the end of WWI and post WWI U-Boat upgrades and development.


Nice quality and design

This was purchased for our sons 49ers bedroom, the mat is good quality, looks like the picture and looks nice in the room, my only advise is that it is very small.. About the size of a basic "welcome" mat.


Nice eye pillow

This eye pillow is actually quite nice and not too heavy. I only sent it back because I wanted a matching set and was not satisfied with the mitts and boots that match this eye pillow.


tepid rehash of old materials.......

If you're looking for new materials, do not bother with this release. It is a loose grouping of old cartoons. While the cartoons are in themselves excellent, no new value has been added by the new animated linkages. Imagine if you would a nightclub operated by Mickey. On halloween, all of the classic villains arrive to watch cartoons. Then Mickey has a bit of a struggle and the show's ended.I am afraid that this release is all too typical of the recent Disney animated sequels. The characters are great, the animation good, but the plots are rotten. Disney is in danger of damaging its reputation. Please, Disney. Come up with some good plots!!


fun for my daughter

ball pit may not be as big as it looks in the picture but the product as a whole is pretty big. for [...] with free shipping you can't go wrong! my last ballpit for my daughter was [...] and much smaller. may want to buy extra balls but other than that i love it!


door mount garbage can

so easy at fingertips all you do is open the door at the kitchen sink and it is there awesome


Interesting, But Not Worthwhile

My boyfriend and I gave this a whirl while driving back from Melbourne to Sydney and as we were driving at night the first song, (piece?), is atmospheric and worked fairly well. The rest of the album is pretty dodgy. Neither of us realised we'd tuned out and hadn't heard a lot of the album and only realised that the Beatles song was what it was about halfway through it. It's just that awful as a cover, actually it's that awful in its' own right too. Neither of us can recommend it for anyone other than a diehard fan.


Brutal & Stunning

This is a classic movie.GOODFELLAS takes the story of Henry Hill, who went from being a petty criminal to a mob member amongst violent gangsters (Joe Pesci's turn as a merciless killer is shocking but brilliant). It's a fluid story, from the 1950's to near the end of the century, telling us all the interesting, violent and criminal things that happened in between.Great acting and a first rate script make GOODFELLAS a contender for Scorcese's best movie so far. DeNiro is also on fine form as Jimmy Conway, a seemingly 'pleasant' gangster who ends up becoming Hill's worst enemy.If you have any interest in the gangster genre whatsoever, you will want to check out this contender for title of "Best of Genre" as quickly as you can.


Sad, but Funny

Get ready to be entertained by this sad, but funny story of 3 couples who set out to vacation in their dream house, only to find out it's not so dreamy after all.


Fun for Christmas!

This is a fun and easy crystal growing activity with a the added Christmas decor twist! Very fast growing and if you're careful , it will last quite s long time (ours was still intact when we threw it out at holiday cleanup time). Make sure to put the star and garland on first as its difficult to place after fragile crystals grow. My 13, 10, and 7 year olds had fun with this.


Reading and All That Jazz

The delivery is acceptable, I received it within 10 days after ordering. However, the book misses lots of pages that the buyer should mention it for me to consider if I want to buy with that price or not. If I had time to order another one that I could receive before my class started, I would have sent it back.By the way, this is very good book for improving reading skills. The information is updated, and there are variety of readings that make reading class is more exciting. There are also many exercises to practice. I like this book.


add your PC to the Matrix!

You've already got the ascii/katakana screensaver and your cool custom PC has transparent plastic sides so you can see the innards - now all you need is some more subversive green light! Feel the Matrix around you as this fan cools your jets - or at least your CPU.


An insulting waste of my time and money

Perhaps I've been spoiled by the capable and good writing if Chris Moore and others that makes me laugh out loud. Maybe it's because I'm a lady apiary and know that it's a crime to keep killer bees, and it's utterly stupid to suggest one would keep bees in a basement--with nothing to eat or make that honey from. Maybe it's because I've been to New York? Perhaps it's because I know a silenced pistol doesn't sound like "fwump"--it only makes that noise in the movies. No matter what the reason, I stuttered and staggered through this novel, taking great pains to read one more page...wondering why I'd wasted my precious life energy on this. Even light comedy requires the suspension of disbelief, but every paragraph seemed to be parroted library research, unfounded pesticide dogma, and other regurgitated pop-culture nonsense. The inspiration for this novel was a winning idea. It was the bad attempt at building around the framework that completely failed.


Dark, darker, darkest

Sorry, hate to differ with the other reviewers but you have to really like barely visible images on black pages to appreciate this work. I don't. Dreamy? Perhaps. Or is just the latest gimmick to be differen? The book itself is handsome but the almost invisible characters inside are doing something but I can't quite make out what it is. I give it an "A" for presentation and an "F" for photographic content.


Unable to watch

I was unable to watch it because it was Region 2 instead of Region 1. I've seen part of it before, and I thought it would be a good movie.


Disappointed in the new game look

I have given my points based on the old aggravation game. I wish that I could find the old game which was better made and looked better. If there is such a place that sells this game please notify me ASAP. I will not waste my money on the new and so-called-updated game.


Replacement spouts hard to find

I like this cup however I don't like the spout. My toddler bites on it and then breaks the seal over time. I have yet to be able to find any replacement spouts in the stores. I have been to Babies R Us, Baby Depot, Target, etc. and no replacement spouts for the wide cups. They do have them at Babies R Us only for the regular size cups (no handle grip). Once the spout is broken, they are worthless. I would recommend getting the small mouth spout. The new redesign is more durable to biting as well. He has yet to break the seal on any of those. These are VERY easy to clean.


great for arson-investigators-to-be

If you are already interested in fire fighting and arson investigation in particular, then you will find this book very interesting, with lots of real life stories. A novice however will find little excitement and too much in depth information to keep up interest.


Not enough of the good bits

I bought the cd for the love theme which i think is outstanding and reminds me of ancient Egypt, or at least Egypt and its very romantic. And takes me back to the film.I just dont think there is enough of it and its not long enough, and maybe the cd contains a lot of music that im not too fond of although i cant name them offhand.The sand volcano is the standout track, right at the end and overall it is an excellent soundtrack and reccommended.


The tradition continues....

Back in the 70's my father got me this and we would read it every night around Christmas. The artwork is great and we use to play a game where he'd name some thing and I'd have to find it on the page. I still remember it to this day. Now I'm a father and I got this for my daughter. Even though she had no idea what I was saying or doing now, she will in a couple of years. I look forward to continuing our family tradition. This really is a beautiful book to read and look at. It's a classic and the best "Night Before Christmas" book out there.


Nice renderings of animals for adults, but too abstract for babies

These must be made to appeal to adults. They certainly appeal to me, I love the way the animals are illustrated, and the woodland theme is so on trend right now for both kids and adults. However they are way to abstract for babies and small toddlers. I got no recognition from either of my kids, no wide eyes, giggles or words as to what animal any given image was. they do look great, and I can see why parents would be drawn to them. But babies really seem to want more realistic or cuddly cartoony images.


Filling in my collection of assembler books

This isn't the best assembler book, but I was looking to fill in a collection, having been an assembler programmer. Good in its emphasis on using the emulator - who has access to a mainframe for learning purposes anymore?


Because he Could

Excellent review of Clintons' time in office. Should be a must read for all, but, the general public with a good share of apathy could not care less. Clinton was a scroundel as far as I am concerned and this book verifies my beliefs


poor quality

After reading the product description I had the impression that they would have a silk or satin feel. Major disappointment. The sheets are very thin (which is fine for summer) and not especially soft. They were inexpensive and I got what I paid for, I guess.


Hello, my name is Braggart....

Sheri Lynch's book is more a display of her achievements with a baby in tow rather than a humorous look at motherhood. I kept waiting for the funny, humorous one liners or stories to make me giggle, but instead found myself bored by Lynch's "look at me and what I have achieved" dribble.


Great Series set in the early 1900s

wonderful acting and a good review of some of the historical events of the time...great drama and the other seasons are wonderful too!


great investment

It was a bit bulky but as I was traveling internationally, it helped with switching planes and cruising across airports during holiday travel. I also bought a folding cart, $14.00 at Walmart, that seemes to help with the load. One of the nice things about this is I could put my jackets in it as well and not have to put them in my carry on. The bag folds up and stores easily too. All in all I say it's a great product. Better than hauling the car seat around on it's own.


Burning Bright

I bought this book, Burning Bright, with great anticipation, after I read and liked her previous 2 books, Girl with a Perl Earring, and The Lady with the Unicorn. I am most disappointed by this effort. Perhaps, I am thinking, it is not Tracy Chevalier's writing after all? The above mentioned two novels were magical, the language wonderful, while this one is flat, forced, boring, and so on. I tried to read on valiantly but eventually gave up at page 46. An old professor of my said long ago: "Who does not speak Arabic, should not speak Arabic".


Not Impressed

Ha you fools all of you, you clowns!!!! HA HA HA! RESIDENT EVIL 4 is going to beat the pants of this piece of crap! HAHAHAHAHA!


She's Done it Again

Celine's at it again. Another awesome CD. This one is her best yet!! It really shows the full extent of her talent, from I Surrender to Rain,Tax, we get a bit of everything. Celine has only gotten better with time! Rock on Celine!!(I've had no trouble with this CD on my computer)


Poor quality

Good sound quality from these headphones. The problem with them is they break easily. The cord ripped and the headphones Re breaking apart. These headphones are only for someone that sits around all day and does nothing.


His Princess:Love Letters from Your King

Thanks very much for the beautiful book that was sent in love to a young woman who needs to know how much her King Jesus adores her!


Mis-leading info

Seller explicitly said new harcover, I recieved a used softcover, in sub-par condition. I would not buy from them again.


Amped-down Zakk still rocks!

Zakk's hangover music is the perfect tonic if you're looking for the more subtle side to BLS, ala disc 2 of the "Live" release and "Shadows." Zakk goes off on some tunes here, or maybe it's his crusty vocals nurtured by alcohol that gives these songs a rougher edge. Standout hits include Crazy or High, House of Doom, and Won't Find It Here (all classic amped-down Zakk Trakks). Lotsa passion in Zakk's singing-- which sounds like a cross of Greg Allman meets Axel Rose. Not quite as good as Book of Shadows, but not bad either. Definitely check it out!


LOVE CHI shampoo!

This shampoo is great! It makes my frizzy hair so much more manageable. It helps to take the frizzies away. The only tiny complaint I have about it is that I have to use a ton just to get it to lather up. I guess the ingredients are just not lather-rich, so no big deal.


Comedian turned schizo

Seeing a 4 1/2 star rating and having Robin Williams as the star did not prepare me for the role he portrayed in this movie. Instead of the funn/serious kind of person he normally plays, Robin William performs the role of a lonley man who thinks himself the guardian angel of this family.Living vicariously through their photos, Robin Williams becomes obsessed. The end of the movie was quite a dissapointment because of its ... nature.This movie is not for those seeking entertainment.


a brides celebration

this book had all ages of wedding celebrations and some really great pictures of many years and many celebrities as well as us common folk. I loved looking back at all the great fashions and memories. This would make an excellent gift book to a newly engaged person as she begins to plan a wedding. clinta ingraham


Ong-Bak 2

This no doubt is an amazing film...but it does not compare to the second installment of the Ong-Bak series. Ong Bak 2 is unreal!!! The guy is w/o question the artist of form fighting. But the sad part about the 2nd movies is that it is only in private release areas. So if you are not in the know of where to go, you may have to wait for awhile. Just as this 1st Ong-Bak was released in France two years before making it way to the State shores. Good luck. ;->


Liking it, good product

I just got this thing three weeks ago. Yes, using it was painful, but bareable. You have to have a great deal of patience to do your whole legs (and mine are pretty hairy). The only problem that lots of people mentioned..afterwards you get red "bumps", which I found a simple solution for. I just used a wet hot towel over my legs for 5-10 min, changing it periodically and that took care of the redness. After that I used baby powder, and that also helps the skin to heal and prevents the infection.


chews my skin sometimes!

this is the first Brown I got & have been using Epilators for 9 years... when the plastic frames is on the roller, there is a cavity between the roller & the frame that once in a while is dragging my skin in and causing the machine to stop & my skin to be red and sometimes bleeding a little! when I use the machine without plastic farms, it leaves light visible scratches on my skin as it moves.


Don't get this album! this man is not an artist

This cd is filled with boring, slow, and stupid tracks. It shows no musical talent at all. It makes me sick how rap takes over the world today: The only rapper I would recommend would be eminem. Go get Sheryl Crow. She's a real artist. Get the beatles, pink floyd, queen. They have musical talent usher can only dream about. Heck get kelly Clarkson, or someone like that, cause they to are alot better then usher.


VERY BAD QUALITY

I agree with one other poster. I don't beleive these are true Nikko products. If they are, then they are quite defective. I bought 3 sets from Amazon to add to an existing collection that I had purchased in a department store. The decal is very small, nearly half the size of my original glasses. These glasses are listed as diswasher safe. The decals are practically gone now after the Christmas season. Not at all happy with the glasses I purchased from Amazon :(


great movie

This is a great movie, it shows the determination and how I feel a lot of things would actually happen


My Honest Opinion

I bought the album thinking he went a little more main stream. "Slow jams" was getting a lot of play on the radio, but the rest of the album left me saying what happened? The album is good for return Twista fans just not if your liking the one song. I suggest picking up the single.


One Of The Best Bibles Out There!!!

This Bible is so cool. It's great for 2 reasons.1. It's the Word Of God, so it's going to be great! 2. It's so easy to understand!I Love this Bible. I use it for my Quiet Times with the Lord every morning! This Bible can change your life! READ IT!!!!


NOT TEAR FREE!!!!

I was so psyched when I saw this marketed as "tear free". My DD is 18 months old and last summer I had some trouble with her getting the sunscreen in her eyes and they would turn red and tear and her nose would run - it was miserable. So when I found this I was very excited. I used it for the first time today. I put it on - no problem. She then had a small crying temper tantrum as toddlers do. I got her calmed down, but by the time we got to the park the sunscreen must have gotten in her eyes from crying and I had to rush her home to wash out her eyes - she could barely even open them! I then looked at the warning below and it says be sure not to get in eyes - so I don't understand the "tear-free" part of this.


great songs!

great music, great lyric, easy listening. its a little slow and emo at some parts but good overall. especially for long car rides.


Handbook for starting your own religion!

This video is what happens when a bunch of new-age, B-list shrinks and stage performers get together for a few drinks. Although I have to admit, I've been concentrating on how bad it sucked, and ...it still sucks! Maybe they're right after all!


Guilty pleasure, minus the guilt!

What girl DOESN'T enjoy reading about rich, privileged women's lives?I'm not being sarcastic, I'm totally serious.Cotillion is a sweeping, fantastic, utterly beautiful tale that between its pages takes the normal girl away from her everyday life in the city and transports her to a different time, a time that may not have even really existed in reality (but you WISH it did).You will find yourself saying "I wish I had this kind of romance..."Long book, yes.I devoured it in less than a week, my appetite is insatiable for this kind of mind food...


Not that good

Not sure the one that is shipped is genuine, becuase the smell is good but it is not strong enough.


PWR+ 9.6 volt Makita battery

Bought this battery as a lower cost replacement for original Makita battery. I was skeptical at first but this battery works fine. I would buy again.


completely worthless product

I just tried EnurAid and found it did absolutely nothing to solve the problem. I wonder if it's just a placebo because it has absolutely no effect whatsoever. Please take this useless product off the market and above all, stop taking people's money for it.


History with 360 view not just military campaign analysis

Refreshing, dynamic reflection on a complex topic. For those interested in the Middle-East but exhausted by the usual wading through of endless indexes on battles; this will be a welcome change of pace. One of the few works that uses relationships to navigate through the complex web this region has become. The isolation of all parties is well told and the perspective of the telling is unique. Belle was an outsider to her own Victorian world. She never seems to come to terms with this. She spent most of her life in self imposed exile from the British system which she was instrumental in perpetuating. An intriguing character study that is entwined in the rich history of the early 1900's. Her adventures are at times both inspiring and disturbing.


These 'Collectables' Aren't Worth A Dime

Hmmmmm. Let's see. This so-called greatest hits CD just came out last month and now there are 104 used copies available for $2.50. For $2.50 I could buy a loaf of Value Time bread, 2 bags of onion rings, a Kit Kat, a can of Cherokee Red, and some Gummi Savers. I'm sure that the people who bought 'Collectables' sure felt salty after they listened it. I told y'all before: Ashanti has no talent what so ever. When you are folks going to realize that? But it's too late now. Ashanti has your money and now she's having her eyebrows and sideburns waxed.


The Battle for God

A focused look at the evolution of fundementalism in the three religions established by the Children of Abraham. Ms. Armstrong surely knows her stuff, and the reasearch that obviously went into this book supports the information that's offered in an easily understandable manner.As a crimnal justice trainer on volatile groups and terorism, I suggest this book as a foundaton for anyone trying to understand the attitudes and beliefs of radical and or militant sects within those religious groups.


GOD AWFUL!

I have never commented on a book before but I had to in this case as I have to tell you all not to bother with this book. the so called 'heroine' has to be the most ANNOYING, IRRITATING, BOSSY, NOSIEST, WHINGY, WHINY, KNOW IT ALL known to man. She never stopped demanding and moaning and I did not find one likeable feature about her from chapter 1 to the end of the book. If I was poor alex I would have willingly given her to the baddie for some peace! I only gave it one star because I was not allowed to give it zero!


Parris Nights gave me goosebumps!

After recently purchasing the Parris Nights cd by Parris Hammond, I actually got goosebumps! This peaceful melody of music has a way of going straight to the sole. Every single song on this cd is truely a masterpiece.I hope to see her live someday on Oprah or other media. I hope it is true that she is recording a new cd. Parris nights is the most moving cd I may have ever heard.


A Must for Hospice Workers!

For oncology workers, professional or otherwise, and for all hospice workers, including volunteers,this little book is exceedingly valuable. The book is a collection of anecdotal stories of the dying process of a variety of individuals. The stories are written with great sensitivity, wisdom, and gentle humor. At the close of each chapter is an inspiring prayer, relevant to the situation just described. The authors have written a very personal account of their experiences with the dying. This book < I believe, will lead the reader into a different way of looking at death-a way both practical and realistic, as well as highly spiritual.


all but one of these videos is visual candy!

What a showman! Inventive, creative, extremely talented! If you like Prince, and enjoy watching well-made music videos, this one's for you!


Good book and quite informative

I learned a lot about how people go through a divorce and that often the right parent does not get custody.That is a shame.I wish that things changed.


My ROADYXT Home Kit Experience

I bought the Home Kit for the RoadyXT. Overall, it does what you want it to do. You can either have it at work or home to listen to music all day. We have a firewall at work, so I can't listen to music over the net. That's where the Home Kit comes into play. The satellite signal it receives it not bad for being inside the building with no windows nearby. The FM Modulation is a bit weak and gives some static, although I'm not sure if it's the Roady or the Home Kit. Overall, the remote is easy to use and helpful on the road as well. I would recommend it if you want the extra item, but not a necessary one.


Boo!

I bought this CD on a whim a few days ago and sixteen seconds into the first cut, I stopped the CD player and promptly marched back to HMV for a full refund. Whan an awful, awful album! Save your money! The man has no range and from what little I heard, grating to my sensitive ears.


Seven Worlds captures Eric's unbridled youthful energy

Although lacking the pristine gloss and soaring masterpiece solos of Venus Isle and Ah Via Musicom, there's a youthful energy and excitement of Eric's unending creativity that truly captures his basic instinct for creating fresh angles in rock gutiar music. Zap is smokin'!!


One Good Song among Filler

aside from Take On Me there's nothing special about A-Ha.a catchy song that was better during the time of it's release.but Like many Artists or Groups that were Dependent on Syths&Drum Machines it's nothing but Filler afterward.


Awesome!

This movie is wonderful! This movie has great acting, great mystery, and above all, a great plot! The idea of a serial killer whose pattern is not his own, but that of a mix of several different serial killers is just such a mind-thriller for the viewers. I believe the way he incoporated Helen's lecture into his killings and included her in his plan was really awesome! Up until the time he hunts her down, he followed the pattern of others. Since Helen didn't die in her attack by Darell Lee, it was then the point in which Peter had to create his own method for killing her rather then that of another serial killer, an amazing aspect into his madness, IF he would have succeeded. This movie is one that will make your heart leap into your throat! A must see for any thrill-seeker!


creepy

I bought this book yesterday without reading it first. Once I read it, I'm not about to give this to my kids. It's a creepy depiction of farm life. Phrases like "your milk-full udders aching" and "pushing the food with your thick, wet tongue over and over for hours" just give me the willies. While I realize it's supposed to be written from the cow's perspective, it just comes off as strange. Even some of the pictures are weird. As a mom, this book makes me uncomfortable.


Learn how to *make* cheese.

This is a book for the parasites of society who can't even conceive of the concept of *making* their own cheese.


How To Say It To Seniors

Excellent book for Boomers to read.Helpful insight into conversing with parents.Helpful for professionals dealing with the "Greatest Generation."


Don't waste your money!

When I used it for the first time it worked fine. A week and a half later, I tried to use it for a second time and the start button did not work. Don't waste your money!


A Whiny plea for sex

Throughout this album, the repetitive theme is either losing the guy or sticking with him. The lyrics are pathetic. Most people are not aware that "hit" is R and B slang for sex. A number one song giving Britney the image of a whiny boy toy begging for sex is a bit sad. Though the melodies aren't that bad, the lyrics, especially in ...baby one more time are terrible. This album is only for extremests. Most people are either crazy about it or they get the urge to smash the radio everytime they hear one of her songs.


The best short anime film

There is a street where no-one lives, where ghostly lights flicker in the shadows. It is whispered that children who play hide-and-seek there after dark are kidnapped by demons...and disappear forever. This mini movie has blood and good animation I love it. Be sure to watch this on [adult swim] Saturday 29.


bathing like cooking

Is practiced by all cultures. The ways in which each culture goes about it speaks both to the prevalent resources, and to the cultural style.


HORRIBLE!!!

Too bad you can't rate with negative stars! They dressed the assylum up in bath towels and let them go grinning through the Book of Acts. You'd have to be nuts to buy this one, let alone watch it! I'm writing a letter to Luke to express my condolences!!


it almost works

I was initially excited when I received this insert blank. I followed the included instructions and cut the blade opening. Very simple. The problems with this item is it's made of plastic and isn't solid enough to not flex when screwed down to the insert opening. As you tighten the screws it contorts pushing some areas up and proud of the saw's table top, and other areas down and below the surface. It has adjustments for height so you can set it even with the table's surface, but that only helps in certain areas of the insert. It's jut too flexible. Also, I use theGrr-ripper Deluxe Supreme Systemwhich relies on you pressing down on your work as you guide it past the blade. Because this insert flexes, it foils your attempts at maintaining adequate pressure on your work piece. That's too bad as not having a useable zero insert is one of the biggest drawback of the Bosch table saw.


Delightful read

Although repetitive at times and the culprit was obvious, this book gives CSI television serious competition despite 19th century forensics.


The Worst in the Series

Living In Oblivion, Vol. 4, contains three notably great selections: "Mexican Radio", "Under the Milky Way", and "Belly of the Whale". The rest of the songs are either monster hits that can be found anywhere (i.e. Spandau Ballet's "True", "Come On Eileen" by Dexy's Midnight Runners) or unknown songs that are obscure for a reason. The compliation team seems to have gotten lazy here and the disc is unsatisfying as a result. Avoid unless you just want to get the whole set.


awful toy, NOT worth the money

This thing made us wait to heat up,made the cotton candy for a very short while before we had to stop...cool down,clean, for three times in a row. The cotton candy mix just kept getting gunked up so that it would'nt make the cotton candy.I would not recomend for any one.It upsets kids & parents alike...


poorly directed

Good story line, but the ending was highly predictable. Should have been classified as a pseudo-documentary. I did not like this movie.


Five Little Monkeys Sitting on a Tree book

What an adorable book for that special little one in your family,my granddaughter who will be 4 loves the book and song!


The Blu-ray is amazing!

I won't comment on the show itself. Either you're a fan and know all about it or you need to see it and decide for yourself. It's the perfect definition of cult and, like all cult shows, a description can't explain it's appeal to the true believer.If you are a fan though (or interested in experiencing the show at it's best), the Blu-ray is the way to go. I own the DVDs and am amazed at the superior quality of the Blu-ray set. Vivid colours, sharp picture - the DVD version isn't even close, at least on a large good quality monitor. The original production values are the best I've seen so far for a TV show of this vintage.


A Must Have for Reshaping the Body...

I was looking for something that would change the shape and bulkiness of my body and this video set has done exactly that. I have been working out for years but was never really able to get that trim swimsuit/dancer body I was looking for. I have been using the Bar Method 3 times a week for about a month now and I can already see dramatic changes in my appearance. Definitely a must have!!!


This CD is really poppy but very cool...

If you like pop music, this is your stuff. It's a very predictable sound but they manage to pull it off quite nicely. It even has a track written by Sheryl Crow and it's very cool.


UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES ARE YOU TO BUY THIS PHONE!!!

Seriously this is the most dreadful phone EVER!I bought one over a year and a half ago, first the internet stopped working, then the address book went, along with all the names and addresses i'd stored in it, i brought it into the shop where it remained for an entire month, when i got it back both problems remained unfixed also all my photos had been deleted, (photos are absolutely terrible quality by the way).My phone lived in the shop for a further 2 months, when it was returned to me again it just kept shutting down for no apparant reason. Eventually i got a new one of the same model, not my choice, anyway i'd had it for about a month when the buttons started to fall off. Not a happy chappy!


This is part of a boxed set.

This is not a freestanding album nor should it be sold as such - it is CD no. 1 in a boxed set. (I own the set.) See the purple "1" on the cover.


Elegant and functional

This Movado watch combines the best features of elegance and functionality. I enjoy wearing it with both dressy and sports wear. I really like the sleek, classy design, and the fact that it can be worn with both gold and white gold acessories.


A Great Disappointment

I am disappointed! This is not even a little close to the voice of Lumane Casimir in any way--very, very, very far from it. Lumane wouldn't have made an impact with such a raspy voice. In addition, the accompaniment does not evoque anything that could be compared to the typically Haitian sounds that complemented her clear and somehow piercing voice. This is not the type of sounds we knew when the great Lumane was singing. This CD is a dud. I am angry at this misrepresentation! And..so sorry I bought it. WHY NOT TRY TO REPRODUCE HER OWN RECORDINGS ON A CD?


A Hulking Mess

I have born witness to some travesties to film many times over, and this is another one to add to the list. Cold, sterile, and so fake and cheesy looking. The Hulk himself was ridiculous and the script had as many holes as cheese. Pass this turkey up. A root canal would be better.


I think Pinhead got his pins taken out in this film!

This film [is bad]!It's the same stuff over and over with the stupid cube and the chains..This film has so much sex and violence I got sick of it.It was very wierd being a Hellraiser fan but if you want a good Pinhead flick watch Hellraiser(the original)or HellBound:Hellraiser2.Hellraiser 3;Hell on Earth isn't that bad but far better than this film!


can they ever make a bad song

Creed is the best band on the planet and they just keep on getting better. SAY I!!!!!! That song has been in my head for a week straight, and so have all the others. This cd is softer than their first, but also more powerful and emotional lyrically and musically. All I know is that Creed has made another masterpiece. Beautiful is an hard awesome track, With Arms Wide Open brings tears to my eyes it is so beautiful, Faceless Man makes me want to go and into the woods and be alone with myself and nature, and every other song is superb. I cant wait to see them in Philadelphia!!!! Do yourself a favor and get Human Clay.


This album brings back so many memories!

This is a great album(while its not that old). I do remember buying it in Junior High. I loved every song, and loved listening to the catchy guitar hooks and great rhythms that evey song had. It's bad that there not really around anymore. If anybody loves poprock, then this is def. the album of choice to go with. To me it's almost one of the best pop rock albums from the early 00's - Late 90's era. Answer the Phone has got to be my favorite Sugar Ray song, and the videos were awesome to!


Excellent Plasma and works perfet at high altitude

Better than the last plasmas 8k-7k (profesional line) and better than the 42u50, I had the last 3 plasmas, I just bougth this one the 50px60u and I`m realy happy.The plasma works perfect at high altitud 8.800 feet (2600 Mts), the colors are better than a sony lcd.


A World of Dragons

The Pern books are one of the best stories out there. This first book in the wonderful series takes you to adventure and danger from the skies, all from a top a Dragon. Not just a typical fantasy story, Dragonflight is a journrey through time and space. The read for any century.


Couldn't put it down--I loved this book

I love Frank McCourt. He's so painfully honest. About life, about himself, his faults and virtues, about the craziness and ambiguities all around us. Anyone who has lived a while and really thinks about what it's all about will warm to this book. We're all a blazin' mass of contradictions, too. He is a marvelous writer and I'll hope for more books from this gifted writer.


Havel Without Zappa

What happens when you strip away all that was counter-cultural and leftish about Vaclav Havel's political and dramatic writings? As this book demonstrates, you get a version of Havel that neo-cons have been peddling since President Bush the 1st and Francis Fukuyama: a Vaclav Havel who appears to be a quirky surrogate for American conservative thought. True, Havel drifted into this mold during his presidency years of the 1990s. But the "dissident" Havel of the 70s and 80s was no Leo Strauss. And the attempt to squeeze him into this framework, as this book does, is pretty unsatisfying. The Anglophone world still needs an introductory book on Havel - such as Pontuso's attempts to be - that strives for real, academic distance on the subject.


The Street Lawyer is Definitely a Sedative

I am definitely in agreement with my fellow Canadian critics - this book is definitely a Sedative! I am a Grisham fan and up until now have loved all his books but this one basically puts you asleep. It's not an exciting page turner but a valid issue regarding the homeless which could be debated on t.v. or on the Oprah show but as a novel - it lacks excitement!


She Lied

Ms Menchu falsified her account and, when exposed, said "I really meant my Guatemalan countrymen as family, not necessarily my own family." That is not what she said. She should have had to return the Nobel Prize. Someone this dishonest certainly did not deserve it.


I love Seduction

I love this album...I saw them live when they played the Galleria in San Francisco. They're great live! I was sad when they broke up...they had great producers..Little Louie Vega was one of them! They should come back!


only one episode

I thought I was buying the first season but it turnied out to be only ONE episode. For that price I will put them on my DVR.


The Singer Probably Has Morning Wood, Since She's a Guy!

First of all, I ain't a kid. My account just isn't working. Second, why would anyone like this junk? The singer obviously can't sing, and the guitarist likes to scream in the backround. And the music has a bland, stupid feel to it. It almost sounds like they're using keyboards. Plus, that stupid, "nth degree" video of theirs is just plain retarded. The singer is freakin fat and ugly, and she's trying to look sexy. Is this a joke?! She's the ugliest thing in pop since Ashlee Simpson.Well, what do you expect from something that's on mtv? That's right, you get this. morningwood, probably the worst band ever to plague music as we know it.


Didn't like it

About 15 years ago I would have really enjoyed this book, but not now. This is my first Zane book and it will probably be my last. I am sure she has a following but I am totally lost at why. I also understand now why men do not bother to date women now especially if they are reading this stuff.


Disaster

There is no guide or spout at the end of the path and the drink ends up going all over the place. It defintiely never makes it into a shot glass and if you drink it right from the end of the luge, you are going to get it all down your chin and possibly your clothes. Also, the path is too small to actually chill any liquid. It is not worth the effort or mess.


Not Just for Girls

I was a little put off by the Barbara K logo, but it had what I was looking for. I wanted an "upstairs" screwdriver, one to keep in a drawer for little repairs upstairs without having to go to the well-stocked workshop in my basement. This isn't a girlie-man tool, it's a solid, journeyman screwdriver. Magnetic bits of enough sizes and a light that either shines where you're pointing the tool or detaches. The only thing more I would have liked for this type of tool would have been a ratcheting mechanism.


John Grisham meets CS Lewis

I read the first in this series, Left Behind, and I was skeptical about how good the book would be. Anything labeled Christian is going to be held to a higher standard. I would recommend that all the "one star" reviewers, and their are very few of them, should check their elitism at the door. This is a very good book, that is exciting to read, and encouraged me to open the Bible and look a little closer at God's word. Keep in mind that there are many "end times" interpretations of scripture, but this book will make you think about your future. I am looking forward to the next in this series.


Vinegar is good but this book is a waste of money

I am not going to dispute claims about health benefits of vinegar. I believe there are many. My negative review is about the book.There is only enough information in this book to fill an article, a brochure maybe, not a lengthy publication. Was the author paid by the word?


Never heard nothing like this.

Arcturus are a breath of fresh air in the metal scene. They are great composers and great musicians, they are creative, different, and this record is uniquely brilliant. I'm a Moonspell fan, but Arcturus conquered my heart. Try this record!


Acrylic painting techniques/ how to master medium

This is aa very inspirational book worth every penny I paid for it. I am very happy with the paintings I've produced, after reviewing the techniques in this book. Very refreshing!


Practical Guide to Christian Living

My wife and I enjoyed the stories because they dealt with real people overcoming obstacles in today's world. We have 4 sons and some of the situations were very applicable to what they could face in their lives. For them to find out about how a younger person dealt with difficult circumstances is much more powerful than for a parent to lecture to them. I am a practical person who knows that you must live in the real world, and this book provides solid lessons on how various people have done that.


Great

This is probably my favorite Cranberries album. I am a huge fan, so I am biased, but this would be a good one to start with if you are new to the band.


complicity and corporate pillaging

How coincidental is this that I pick up Belzer's book, "UFOs, JFK, and Elvis," and this one on the same day at the library? Of course, Michael's nemeses are the corporate giants who are pillaging small town USA in their continual quest for more profits. And yet, some of the same concerns about government complicity and comments about JFK's assassination echo in this seriously abridged version of the book. Moore also reads his own material with great gusto and conviction. Get both these books for a seriously creepy feeling about your government and big business!


Not as good as my original one!

This was definitely not the same lint wizard I had in my home. I ordered it for my mom because she liked mom and this one did not work as well.


it's selling something

Contrary to it's title this book is in no way a practical handbook. At first glance when you read through the introduction and part one, the instructions it gives sound easy to follow and it makes it seem as though all this requires is a grid and some mindless drawing of lines. But it turns out that it is the exact opposite. There are numerous rules to remember and different combinations that aren't allowed to be near eachother and the border area is where he really loses you, the structure of the border changes the rules for the entire knot all of which must be memorized unless you want to end up with a jumble of loose ends. It would be enough to say that it sounds quite viable in theory but is completely inviable in practice. I believe the main goal of this book was to sell the computer program that was developed by the author


Shitty Manufacturing Standards

When purchase, product comes in a nice plastic container sealed.When open (brand new) close inspection will reveal a different story.1) You will find occasional scratches on the disc.2) You will find occasional paint marks on the disc.3) You will find occasional oil marks (if you're lucky, you'll find finger prints) on the disc.Lastly, the plastic material used in the manufacturing process to laminate the metalic foil has high electro-static attraction characteristics towards dust. I have conducted experiments on similar product with different manufacturers/company under same enviromental condition and found this to be true.I might also add that if you intend to use this as a reliable form of backup for your data/video and plan to store it for more than 2 years, you should avoid using it because the viscoelastic characteristic of the plastic decays rapidly compared to other manufacturers.


Actual test was easier than the Kaplan Prep Tests!

After being out of college for 16 years, I was extremely concerned about my performance on the GRE. My scores on the Kaplan diagnostic exam, the first thing you do on the CD-ROM, were well below the 1000 I needed on Verbal & Quantitative (combined) to get into grad school. The customized program gave me the information I needed to succeed. This afternoon I took my test and scored over 1200! I am a satisfied customer. The book does an excellent job of explaining the test's methodology. With that information in your educational arsenal, you, too, will get a Higher Score Guaranteed.


Interesting History, but Inconclusive Theory

I got a lot of great information from this book, but the overall theory that George Washington was a deeply religious man was inconclusive. The authors presented evidents that can surely be interpreted multiple ways. The presentation was a little too informal for my taste too. The Novaks used a great amount of primary resources, but presented it in a many of an underaged school report. I believe that is just how George Washington would have wanted it in the end though. I don't believe George Washington was an aethist and clearly he writes on regular occassion about God and the importance of freedom of religion. However, his personal feelings don't necessarily shine through because he was such a private man and took measures to protect his privacy. We will never truley know the answer to George Washington's personal views on religion and our first President is likely very satisfied at that!


The Stone Arrow, by Richard Herley

This book was a good read. Maybe not exactly what I expected, but it was interesting, and the price was right.


Fun Dora Book!

If you enjoy Dora and her adventures, you will love this book. There are some great pictures in this book. It is simple and easy for my small children to understand. I would recommend it.Other great books with lots of pictures for small children that I'd recommend are...Tongue Twisters for KidsNursery Rhymes for KidsDinner, Dinner, What's for Dinner?


Some of the greatest music you'll ever hear!!! Bar none!

I'm not much for words...JJ is probably the most underappreciated man in the music biz. With his music you get it all: rock, jazz, blues, funk, R&B;, gospel, soul...it's all mixed together with "that voice" of his.His music goes great all 7 days a week, but especially on a sunny lazy Saturday/Sunday afternoon driving down the road. JJ's music is guaranteed to put a smile on your face and that warm feeling in your heart....See him in concert if you can.* You know Eric Clapton sends him thank you notes monthly for him writing "After Midnight" and "Cocaine". Two songs that made Clapton a star.


What is my thought in theNokia Revolution?

Before reading that book you should to ask your self why you reading it. Did you read it because of fun or as a buisness searching source. If you reading it for fun the book would be kind of boring and dump, but if you read it as a source you would benifit and that will be great for you. The book is a kind of historical book, the author just put facts on his own way. Althought the book have no fun it is generally a good historical book.


Bad Printing of Good Book

Beware...the CreateSpace offering of Von Arnim's lovely story is a scanned version full of errors. (It is the one with a brown cover with several old texts piled on top of each other.) The binding is cheap and the large notebook size is not as convenient as a regular-sized paperback. I wanted to buy this book as a gift so I ordered the one printed by Cassia Press (it is the one with a white cover with purple flowers). The Cassia Press version is much nicer (and a little less expensive). I looked through it quickly before wrapping it and it appears to be a good printing.


Pocket Guide Intro

This booklet was offered as a bundle with another book I purchased. The booklet itself is well done, but not very extensive re: the wildlife of Costa Rica. It seemed to be a bit pricey to me, even at a discounted rate, for what I received.


Brigadoon

The video quality of this picture was very poor, it was very fuzzy and then became clearer several times. The movie was also terrible, terrible acting, terrible costuming, terrible screenplay.


Excellent movie, nothing held back

I was looking for a movie to show my history class for ww1 and ran across this dvd. I was looking at reviews and saw that it was supposed to be one of the best out there for the era. It turned out to be an awesome movie. It conveyed the feeling of hopelessness of the whole thing and my students wanted to know who was the good and who was the bad guy. This movie is a perfect complement to the original All Quiet on the Western Front. You never do learn who is the bad guy or good guy in the big picture, just guys fighting for something they believe in and cant quiet figure out why. Excellent movie with an excellent cast.


fillers, all of 'em

Seriously, since book 3, all of them have been an 80% retelling of the previous installments and 20% new stuff.If i wanted to read the previous book, why bother buying this one? I've had it, I'm throwing the towel.The Christ Clone Trilogy managed to pack all its content into 3 small books. And seems like left behind isn't offering anything that christ clone trilogy did not. At this rate, it wouldn't surprise me if the series was 'left behind' by more readers before it reached its conclusion.


Overall very useful

I have used the gentle leader for at least a couple of years now. I have two little 20-25 lb. dogs that I walk twice a day with them on either side of me. When they were still puppies they would choke themselves with traditional collars trying to run ahead. When I used a harnass they would still pull. However, once I switched to the gentle leader they became much calmer. It's not perfect. They still try to pull when they see another dog or a cat, however, they are easily controlled and for most of the walk they trot along perfectly beside me. I've already worn out the first gentle leaders I bought and just purchased two more.


Concise, but lacking one thing...

This book is a nice reference tool, however, it lacks one important thing. Tu. The familiar "you". I don't know how this book discounts such an important thing. If I were Dover Pubs., I'd make an updated version including tu. As a former high school Spanish student that wanted some review before traveling to South America, this book disappointed. If you are looking to travel to Brazil or learn a little bit about Portuguese, the "Essential Portuguese Grammar" by DaPrista is an excellent reference covering most bases.


Why did I not read the other reviews, not correct pen pictured!

I always read reviews before I buy anything, but I made my first and last consumer mistake online. Since my job was ordering it for me, I didn't think of anything to find the link, and send it to get ordered for me. To my surprise, I got the "classic pen", not the grip pen pictured. For the love of God, change the picture. How can I even rate this product properly if it is not the one that I ordered. The pen works fine, but feels cheap in comparison to the one I previously used.


DVD's that work

I'm not sure if it is my dvd burner or something to do with these particular discs but when burning a dvd these so far are the only discs that work perfectly every time. When using other discs I'll often create a new coaster for my coffee cup. I have way too many coasters.


Too incredible for words: this is just better yoga.

If you have practiced yoga before, you probably have an opinion: Ashtanga is too fast and athletic to be safe; generic Hatha yoga has no life; Iyengar is just boring as heck after awhile.But, if you slow down Ashtanga so that no one gets hurt, make the pose sequences more like intelligent dance, and let the right brain in a little bit with all the safety cues, you would probably have something like what is on this DVD.Film the whole thing on the beaches in India with an instructor who is very Venice Beach pretty, add good Indian music, and you get the idea.One complaint: some of the more difficult arm balance poses might make you giggle. "Yeah, I'm going to balance on my arms with my knees over my elbows." Still, it's nice to have something to aspire to.


Competition in Ice Skating

This book provides basic insight into the world of ice skating for someone whose only knowledge of competitive skating comes from the Nancy Kerrigan - Tonya Harding affair.Linsley writes in the style of an early Robert Parker but without the extraneous trips into the culinary world.Althoug there is some predictability, this novel has some unpredictabilities. The characters are given identities that we all can recognize. As a first novel, it gives a hope for future adventures of the investigator, Leo McFarlin.


booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i hATE CHARLIE BROWN.... LUCY IS SOOO HOT!!!!!.......THE MOVIE WAS NOT FUN TO WATCH. I DIDN'T LIKE IT. THE TAPE WOULDN'T FUNCTION RIGHT....


Electrical Malfunction

This was a decent blender while it lasted. Crushes/blends ice and frozen fruits fairly well.One night, I heard a loud noise that I thought was the vacuum, only I knew that couldn't be it because my roommate never vacuums. I went to check it out, and it was the blender... started up by itself! I begun to believe in ghosts, but thought more likely it was a problem with the blender. I tried to get used to just keeping it unplugged.However, after about a year, the blender has become completely useless due to more electrical malfunction. The buttons don't do what they're supposed to do, sometimes I can't get it to run at all. I will look elsewhere for my next blender.


History Well Told

Hughes' account of Australia's early history is solidly researched, informative, and entertaining (albeit shocking, and disheartening). Hughes is to be commended for eschewing the prevailing revisionism in Australian historiography and taking his subject head on. Were I able to, I would give Fatal Shore 4.5 stars. My only criticism is that Hughes' thematic approach is at times a bit repetitive and yields a somewhat confusing chronological picture. Overall, however, Fatal Shore is a terrific piece of social, political, and institutional history. An important read.


Didnt care for it

I got this movie because of all the hype. I really didnt care for the story at all. Very depressing. Crowe did a great job of acting the part, but the overall story didnt grab me.I would save big bucks and rent the DVD first, then decide if you want to spend the bucks to add it to your collection.


still evolving, but still great

Rob Halford's project, Fight, are back with their second (and last) studio album after War Of Words. And while I find this album very different, I also think it is very good. The songs on here are catchy, with a good groove (the last one starts a little ballad-y, but they're all good). However , the tempo is slowed down significantly from the first album, which was much more of a thrash album than this. I give this 4 stars (heck, I could even go 4.5) as it is a very good metal album, but not just great. If you are a fan of heavy metal, specifically Rob Halford, you will probably enjoy this album.


Primarily for students

A Comprehensive compendium of everything Accelerated Learning. The Chapters close with mind-maps detailing the main topics covered. The books begins with some explanation of the theoretical concepts and the 'science' of the brain: (left-right brain, types of intelligences, memory, brain states and waves, etc.), the main focus is on practical, usable ideas that can applied in everyday learning situations. These ideas cover everything from memorizing, learning languages, analytical thinking, creative thinking and even corporate learning.While anybody can derive value from the ideas presented in the book it is most valuable for students and those in conventional academic environments. If I had this book when I was in college, I would definitely have fared much better! Non-students might find it a bit too long, and not as practical.


The sound quality is not as good as expected.

While using this connector to forge my iPod's stream to the car radio, I find it carries some distortion on the high freq, making some noise on the cassette player as well.


Never disappoints

Pimp C is back and does his thing on this album. I listened to the whole cd from beginning to the end and pimp c murders the beats. The only thing i didn't like was that there are a lot of guest appearances and pimp is sometimes overshadowed, but overall this is a great cd.


Ripped off

This item was a ripoff. It is advertised as a full size replica helmet at 73% off, you will receive a mini helmet at a higher price than you could have paid anywhere else. The mini helmet itself is a nice helmet, just not what I paid for.The seller (Online Sports) claims it was Amazon who gave the wrong description and after waiting a week for a response they best they could do would give me a 20% discount on a helmet I already overpaid for or return it. Remember when there was customer service and companies actually took responsibility for their mistakes. I want what I paid for, I want what was advertised and I want to pay the advertised price.Do NOT buy from Online Sports on Amazon, they will only take your money and run


Quite Nice

I got this pool a while ago and have been very pleased with the results. Easy instructions make this pool simple to set up. It holds about 3110 gal. of water. WARNING: Do not fill the ring up 100%. It will explode. The instructions don't warn you of it but it can happen. Luckily I never had to experience a bursted bubble. The reason why I rated the education value at a three was because it can help you learn to swim (with a teacher). I would also rate it as a 5 for simple set up.


Great 80s Arnold movie.

Don't expect top-notch acting, but expect top-notch excitement and action!! Arnold as an undercover mobster. He unleashes on quite a few bad guys. Just remember, "Don't drink and bake".


one of the most terrifying films of the 1970s

I was able to get a copy of this hard to find gem when hollywood video was getting rid of all there vhs tapes. This is low budget horror at its finest. The film definatly has its flaws, poor acting and stupid comic relief just to name a few. This does not detract from the ultra realistic gut wrenching terror however. The scene towards the end when hes stalking the girl in the corn fields is one of the most frightening moments ever put on film. Not a perfect film but one thats definatly worth seeing for folks who like to be scared.


One of a kind

There are very few options left for lamps that take lantern batteries. These were about the only ones I found, and while I can't estimate battery life yet, they work fine.


Featuring volatile and reverberating lyrics

Another collaborative effort of The Klezmatics, Rise Up! Shteyt Oyf! is an audio CD embracing the Yiddish tradition of Klezmer music, featuring volatile and reverberating lyrics, and showcasing samples from a 1948 Jewish archive, in honor of, and respect for, those who resisted Nazi destruction and murder during World War II. An enthusiastic celebration and reinventing of grand and quite distinctive musical tradition, Rise Up! Sheteyt Oyf! presents fifteen outstanding recordings and would make a welcome and appreciated addition to any personal music library.


5 mics

It cracks me up how herbs are trying to ruin Jay's Amazon.com ranking by making ridicilous reviews giving him one mic. This album is straight heat. Hot lyrics, dope beats, and great guest spots--and most importantly..no Bravehearts. This CD is flat out banging. From the Billboard top 5 single "Bonnie and Clyde '03" to the Lenny Kravitz assisted Guns N Roses, to the bananas Dr. Dre, Truth Hurts, and Rakim collaboration, "The Watcher part 2", THIS is the album of the year. Blueprint 2 is what hip hop is all about. Jigga is bringing it back to its elements on this CD. No wonder Jay's sales are dwarfing that of Nas. Jay delivers what fans want and not boring preachy drivel that Nas delivers. Buy this, avoid God's Snore. This CD is for the streets, the clubs, the radio, EVERYWHERE. Cop this..Hov/Roc-A-Fella runnin this...


sheath

I like that it is secure in the sheath. However, when I have it on my belt and try to pull it from the sheath, the belt clip lets go of my belt and the knife is still sheathed.


A Classic Story Of Rebellion

I know that this book had political overtones but at the heart of this story is a story of basic rebellion. It is about the underdog going up against a stronger force and almost beating it. It inspires one to question society and make their own stand against the things that they detest. Hence why I loved this book. It was written elegantly and beautifully.The only thing that I didn't like was there was at times there was things that were not needed.Otherwise; great novel.


Thin, cheaply made

"You get what you pay for" applies perfectly. I thought this would be a good motorcycle riding jacket but it's too thin and looks like from a rack in a bargain basement. OK for hanging out with posers.


Wonderful Collection

This is the most wonderful collection that I have seen in a long time. It has all my favorite mussicals in one set and they look and sound better than I could have imagined. I love it and would advise anyone to get it for your library. Every child should see these great films at least once.


I long for the good old days

Wow, I got this product and I was shocked at how strong it is. I used Royal Secret many years ago, and it was a wonderfully subdued scent reminding me somewhat of baby powder. I loved it! It is NOT the SAME! I barely put any on now and I will not buy this again.


Very Handy!

I wish I'd had this with my first child! I use them to collect the leaking milk while I am breastfeeding, usually close to 2oz. Don't get me wrong they do leak milk all over if I leak too much but they are comfortable & easy to use & clean. Much better than holding a cup/bottle to catch the extra milk - MUCH more descrete & less laundry than all the nursing pads I would be using. These make it very easy for me to put milk away for future use.


If you can get one for free, it makes a nice decoration

Apparently many people have had execrable experiences with this gun, so I'll add mine quickly. I bought the gun from two different vendors, and both guns did not work out of the box. I took the first one apart and found that the inside of the Gearbox was full of broken plastic (tappet plate I think). On a whim, and because it was cheaper than the first one, I got another one. Didn't fire. I took it apart, GB wasn't broken, I put it back together and the thing made noise and looked like it would work, but no BBs came out. I smashed them both into scrap, kept the clips, batteries and chargers, and kissed $100+ away. If anyone can use the clips and such, contact me. DON'T BUY ONE unless you want an AUG shaped club.


Great but needs attentioon

This is my 3rd mighty mouse-prior ones gave up scrolling capability--seems the ball gets jammed but when the mouse works, it is sensational. There is a knack to keeping the ball clean and mobile--Just hold on to your receipt!


All dried up

MY pot arrived all dried up. Some contents had even spilled down the outside of the pot and dried. It looks like it has been in this state for some time. I'm unable to use it unfortunately. As I live so far away its not worth sending back. Very disappointed :(


A Great Companion Series for Theosophist Readers!

Lucifer, like the Theosophy Magazine, is literally bursting at the seams with occult knowledge and extraordinary findings from around the world as it pertains to the Occult. If you are a serious occultist, then you will find these arcane articles to be absolutely invaluable to your study and learning. A veritable feast of previously hidden information!


Great!

Free shipping, arrived a week early, easy to set up and sounds great...oh and it was a killer deal. Highly recommended!


signs

Metal, very sturdy. Can be put up with either nails on trees or with stapler, I would suggest using a step ladder so someone cannot rip them down as easily as the paper ones.


Worked for a Britax Frontier

We bought and used this to check a Britax Frontier car seat on a recent trip. The backpack worked well, to keep hands free for other luggage and children. Our seat fit in it well, despite being quite large. We checked it both ways, and had no damage to the seat, or the bag itself. Very happy with it!


Legs rip off too easily

My dog LOVED this toy. It was easy to squeak, and she loved that the legs stuck out like little party favors. However, within 2 hours, she ripped off 3 of the 6 legs. I can't buy these Premier Latex toys. They just don't last. :(


A frank look at addiction and rehabilation

Maggie Gyllenhaal stars as Sherry Swanson, a convict who is released from jail and who wants to reunite with her young daughter. One of the conditions of her parole is that she cannot leave the state for any reason and the state is New Jersey. It's hard to imagine a worse fate for anyone than being trapped in New Jersey and you can't leave!Seriously, this one is not exactly a light comedy or a yuckfest. We see Sherry make one bad decision after another and it doesn't take long for the viewer to sense that we are not on the way to a happy ending here. At first, I thought Gyllenhaal may be too glamorous for this part but she handles the part very well. Many of the key plot elements are very subtle so this is a movie where the viewer must pay attention. It's not a pleasant movie and it richly earns it's R rating but it is well done- 4 stars.


a sweet retrospective

This is an autobiographical review of Pat Conroy's senior year at The Citadel and his frustrating experience as point guard on what was a doormat for other basketball teams in the Southern Conference.It is am amazingly cathartic experience for Pat as he progresses through the year--What he may have started out as a straighforward account --game by game--evolves into bittersweet self-awareness of the influence of his father and coach, and the rigid military school he attended.Basketball was the seminal experience for Pat growing up--and serves as the guiding metaphor of his life.I recommend this book for any athlete or ex-athlete (like myself). It will crystallize the importance of organized athletics as preparation for real life post-athletics.


Don't bother with this piece of junk

I started out liking this razor even though it did leave me with razor burn I was not accustomed to with other electric razors. However one I replaced the heads it was never the same since. The heads never stay in after you pull them out the first time (as instructed by the mfg. instructions) to replace them. I can't get through a shave anymore where the heads don't just pop off the razor. It is extremely frustrating and I will never waste my money on another Norelco product. If I could have given this a 0 stars I would have.


A swashbuckling Sci-Fi/Fantasy that redefines the term HERO!

While Oscar Gordon reflects on his eventful life, he answers a personal ad that appears to be written just for him. His quest to rescue the Egg of the Pheonix takes him through worlds of beauty and adventure. proving that the Glory Road " ..is paved not with stones, but with boulders." Heinlein masterfully blends the real with the fantastic, and shows us just what a hero's job description includes. This is one of the Grand Master's best and one of my all-time favorites


Handle broke 1st day!

This is the largest rolling pack I could find for my son's MANY books at school and it is wonderfully large. However, the 1st day at school he was walking down the corridor to his locker and the handle started to bend. After his first class the handle broke right off!I guess I should have read the 1 star reviews after I read the 5 star reviews before I ordered this backpack. I see others have had this happen too. I will put this down to poor manufacturing of the handle. It is too bad, the bag is wonderful except for that.


JPS

We need to purchase bibles for our bible study group--these were durable, very readable in terms of font size and compact enough to carry 12 of them in a bag without being impossible to handle. God's blessing to each one reading this and studing His word no matter which bible you choose! (would recommend the NIV study bible for those doing individual study)


There must be better books on franchising

Michael Seid's extensive experience yields some useful insights and he explains many of the steps involved in franchising, but the book reads too much like advertorial and Seid spends way too much time trumpeting his own accomplishments. (Wendy's founder Dave Thomas' contributions to the book are woefully slim and including him as a coauthor seems to serve more as a marketing tool.) Franchising for Dummies would be a worthwhile addition to your library on the subject, but if you're looking for a single, objective, authoritarian source on the subject, keep looking.


At last a decent Web Services Security Book

At last I have found a decent web services security book. Professional Web Services Security by Wrox. I really like this book as it covers all the specs including WS-Security, SAML and Liberty and all the XML specs including XKMS, XACML, XML Sig, XML Encryption etc. It also has great code examples of using each which is really useful. The best content and broadest coverage I have seen so far (and I have bought a good few to date).Only criticism is no .NET passport. If you like MS or not its an important spec and should be included.


Absolutely chilling; I've read it twice already

I can't say whether I believe every story in this is true, but all are scary, compelling, and definitely make you want to avoid graveyards.I've read this book twice already. It is absolutely one of the best ghost books ever written.


As a writer I think Lev makes a pretty good gardener

Pablum He's so cute in his prose it makes you want to kick the cat.


Not very well developed, particularly at the end.

I was initially interested in how the author would resolve the book considering the main character fell in love with a thief. The ending, however, was particularly disappointing. The author resolved the story in a way that had little to do with the rest of the book and included family relationships that were not developed well. Furthermore, the conclusion of the book was simplistic and unrealistic to say the least. Although I recognize that people do not read romance novels because they are realistic, I have certainly read romance novels that were better developed and more thought-provoking.


it's good

Them music has a great beat with a nice rhythm and the singer gives a special touch with your uncommon voice. It's a new band that began make success because someone says that was good.


EXCELLENT!

Love the movie... Great action and story! Buy it if you don't have it! You'll love it too!


Comprehensive and Engaging

I love this book. It offers an extensive history of the Italian American experience. This book is used as the textbook for a course I took, and I found myself consumed by it. Something I really appreciate about how this book is written is that while it is about Italian-Americans, it is also about what they left behind in Italy, and why. The context provided is concise, but very informative. Topics covered in La Storia include the Risorgimento, conditions emigrants endured, anti-Italian discrimination, westward expansion in the U.S., the mafia, anarchism (Sacco & Vanzetti), the image of the Italian-American, hollywood, and politics.This is a great read (albeit a long one), and I highly recommend it. The only reason I gave it 4 stars rather than 5 is that this book is mostly for those of Southern Italian and Sicilian extraction. Those who originate from Northern Italy may feel excluded.


Excellent

I loved this dvd so much I decided to get the special edition dvd with extra footage. This is one that I will watch over and over.


Poor design and manufacture

Item is of very poor design and manufacture quality.Specifically, the cap must be removed to remove the reservoir. The check valve on the reservoir leaks when you insert it into the bowl. The item needs to be cleaned frequently but the pump is directly connected to the cord so you must unplug the whole thing and cart it to the sink. The filter for the pump does not trap cat hair, what is the point? Worst of all the pump just died after 6 months and they want more $14.95 plus shipping for a replacement, that is more than 1/2 of what the whole think costs.You can find a lot better product than this, keep looking!


don't, just don't.

its not worthy to be on the 100 best movies of 2007. the storyline is confusing, you don't like any of the characters. the movie leaves you with more questions than answers.


Another wonderful read from Chris Bohjalian.

I was a huge fan of "Midwives", but had not had an opportunity to read any other of Chris' books. This was such a treat. I loved this book and could not put it down. The characters are rich and wonderfully drawn and I was deeply involved with them from the first few horrifying pages. I felt emotionally connected to each of them as they moved down their paths to the conclusion. Chris's writing draws the reader in and doesn't let go. The book has stayed with me ever since.
