0 | Notorious Base Problem | After having installed the unit for 43 days, the suction cup snapped off the plastic mounting. This was a spantaneous break while driving sending the unit "Flying"! Very dangerous!!Tomtom would not replace the unit, as the claim that paart is warranted only for 3 weeks! buyer beware. See the TomTom forum for description and picture:[...]and other links to the base issue. | 10,285 |
1 | Happy with product so far | I am pleased with the product so far.I have not had it long. I bought it because I have a new HD video and still camera and tend to take a lot of video. Prior to this I was using a 2 gig card.I was not as pleased with Amazon. I ordered the SD card on-line; I had ordered items from Amazon before and already had an account. Amazon took and acknowledged my order, but the order never came and no advisement of any problems via e-mail. When I went on line to track my order it said there was no order? Bottom line my credit card had neen renewed and it had a new expiration date, so when that didn't match with my card on file Amazon just deleted my order. I had to call CS and they were no help at all. I had to go back to Amozon on-line, update my expiration date and place a new order. BUT, they increased the price from my original offer, this all happened over a 3 day period?Shame on you Amazon for these tactics. | 45,274 |
0 | Marantz home audio ipod dock piece of crap | After paying to have entertainment system set up and working properly, the next time I used the Marantz ipod dock the bluetooth connection was broken. I could not reestablish it. It caused my ipod to go dead because it does not charge the ipod. After recharging ipod and still failing to reconnect, I had professional back. They could not reconnect it and confirmed that it did not, indeeed, charge the ipod while in use. Now I am stuck with it and will probably give or throw it away. Havde purchased an Onkyo ipod dock. Much cheaper also. | 32,938 |
0 | Bread & Breakfast Baking Low Carb II | This is not a book; it is more like a pamphlet. Most of the recipes are available for free on the web if you look for low carbohydrate sites. Also, the ingredients are difficult to find, even in a health food store. I would return the book if I was willing to wait in line at the post office. | 16,217 |
1 | HIGHLIGHTED BY JASMINE AND HONEYSUCKLE | There are few today who do not know the name Marc Jacobs. His clothing designs have won a loyal following who appreciate his flair and awareness of what becomes women. His designs are understated yet elegant, classic yet innovative.He reflects the same qualities in his fragrances. Of his latest, Blush, Mr. Jacobs said, "My garden in Paris is permeated with the delicate scent of Jasmine. For me, it is a smell of simple and intense glory - nature in grand performance. I feel a connection exists between this rich flower and the innate power of femininity."What words could better describe this fragrance? Star Jasmine, which is grown in China and is the richest form of Jasmine, highlights the scent augmented by Japanese Honeysuckle, soft musks and wood notes. It's dreamy, almost tender. Ultra feminine.The bottle is sleek, curved, a blush glass tone topped by a silver cap. Also included in the collection is Body Cream, Body Lotion, and Shower Gel. | 23,871 |
1 | Amazing Children's Book | I think that this book is different from other children's books because it has to do with family and their experiences as a family. Liked the illustrations and story! Hoping to expect more! | 2,436 |
0 | Microsoft Natural Multimedia Keyboard | Its Ok, but the keys are loud and I find it to be some what uncomfortable. When I ordered it I was looking for this type of keyboard but am disappointed. It isn't raised enough and the placement of the keys is too slanted side ways to be comfortable. | 40,501 |
1 | Does the job, helps minimize cable clutter | I was tired of the cable clutter to my iPods, printers, etc. coming out of the front of my older D-link 4-port hub. I bought this as it has 5 ports on the back to keep cables of items that I have permanently plugged in (like printers and drives) out of the way. It is somewhat heavy and has non-skid rubber pads so it does not slide around on the desk. Additionally, it has 2 easy-access convenient ports on the top for the temporary use of USB key drives, digital cameras, and the like.My only gripe is that it seems to me this hub could have been designed for more than 7 ports, as there is a lot of space on top and the front that could have been used for more USB ports. I always seem to get more and more USB devices, and I would certainly have bee interested in buying a version of this with more than 7 USB ports. | 31,302 |
1 | One of Olivier's greatest roles | Most of us admire the great work of Sir Laurence Olivier in Shakepeare's classics, such as Hamlet, Richard III, Henry V etc. But the depth of this fine actor is really well displayed in this gem of a film. "The Entertainer" is a depiction of a down on his luck vaudeville performer in a seedy English seaside resort. The film combines comedy with pathos in its depiction of life at the fringe. It will amaze you with the fine detail of this character portrait. | 46,396 |
1 | Marum Songs Nominated for JPFolk CELTIC SONGS OF YEAR | Just a quick update on Jed Marum's STREETS OF FALL RIVER album; two tracks from this Boston Road Record release have been nominated for the JPFolk [...] Celtic Original Song of the Year, 2002. LOOK AHEAD TOMMY and the FIGHTING TIGERS OF IRELAND both made the top 20 songs for this category and will be considered for the finals in March of 2003. The nominees were chosen from among some 7,200 albums and over 110,00 songs!Jed's newest album, THE SOUL OF A WANDERER (released Nov 2002) is also available on Amazon.com. The record was produced by Paul Mills at the Millstream in Toronto Canada and features; Brian McNeill, Rick Fielding and Curly Boy Stubbs.Patrick Malloy, Director of Artist Relations, Boston Road Records | 8,231 |
0 | Waste of money | After installing this product I disappointingly watched cats, dogs, birds, and squirrels play around it in my yard with NO effect. The red light turns on when it senses motion, so it is "working" - or at least it has power. The animals walk right past it, I see the sensor light turn on, and their ears do not even twitch.This is a waste of money and time. Do NOT purchase, it has no effect on any small animal. | 23,915 |
0 | Not with a bang, but a whimper... | This is the last of the series on the Barone family, but even though there was a resolution, the heroine Maria is not a fitting heroine. She is more interesting and more likable in some of the earlier Barone books. In this story, she is pathetic in her fears, and the storyline drags on. She frets over the same issue (the Conti curse and her family's reaction to her lover) throughout the book instead of facing things. It doesn't take long for her refrain to get tired. Her lover Steven Conti is a more interesting character, but you really wonder why he puts up with her. You realize that the curse would still be in effect because of the baby -- whether she was with Steven or not -- so denying him doesn't even make sense. I was glad things were tied up at the end, but other books in the Barone series were much better. | 21,367 |
0 | Don't waste your time..... | While his first books was excellent, the follow up has much to be desired. The figures do not make sense, and the big trade (how they became cowboys)should take only one page to explain. The rest of book is about sex in japan, which has nothing to do with hedge funds. | 36,543 |
0 | useless book | If I wanted a book that taught me how to take a test this would be it. But other than that it has no different info in it than you run of the mill book from the dmv does. NOT WORTH IT AT ALL | 22,451 |
0 | Horrible Sequel to a great series | When released Hellraiser: Bloodline was the worst sequel in the series and one of the worst horror seqels to date. From watching the film one can tell about the studio cuts etc. Kevin Yager's cut wass supposed to be good and goes more into depth about Pinhead's story. Avoid this one at all costs. | 39,898 |
1 | GREAT!,GREAT!,GREAT! PURE FUNK,COMBAT AND 70'S! | you must buy this game.f you like 70's ,bell-bottoms,oldskool,american cars,disco,and long hair,must buy! a great story,great graphics,great videos(for 1997),great cars,great missions,great soundtrack... everyone is great in this game!Thank you ACTIVISION AND ZACK NORMAN.great work:)) | 3,274 |
1 | good no frills trimmer | This is a good no frills trimmer. It is inexpensive and does what it's supposed to. It gives a nice cut and has good maneuverability.I previously had a Norelco turbo vacuum trimmer which I loved which seemed to be quicker and the built in vacuum left significantly less mess behind too (so my wife liked it better too).If I had it to do again, I would probably get the Norelco just because the extra 5 minutes spent between the cut and cleanup can be a big difference in the morning (and with getting the kids ready in the morning... being done 5 minutes faster can be huge). But at ~$35 more, is that worth it to you?But honestly, the 2 products are 2 different price points and it is probably an unfair comparison. This does what is advertised to do and does it well. | 29,383 |
0 | Piece of Crap | I bought this for my elderly mother - not a whiz at electronics but she knows how to insert a disc and hit play. However, it seems the machine doesn't know how to scan a disc and play. We would get various screen messages, "insert a disc," "faulty disc," "loading," but the thing wouldn't kick in. We'd eject and clean the disc. We'd eject and and re-load the disc. We'd turn it off and on again; "insert a disc," "faulty disc," "loading." Sometimes, after who knows which combination, Oh! it would play! Pretty darn frustrating for an elderly lady and her daughter so I swapped it out for my Samsung 4600. Now she is happily watching Christmas with Andre Rieu and I am listening to jet aircraft approching as I try to watch a VHS cassett. (it's pretty loud) | 779 |
0 | Could actually harm your test results! | Worst study guide ever. This is supposed to help you do well on an English exam, but actually contains many grammatical errors! The practice test answer key is often incorrect - it will tell you that certain answers are not correct when they really are! Unbelieveable! I just took the FTCE English 6-12 exam today, and this study guide did not address anything relevent to the test. A better strategy is to buy the Dept. of Ed. sample study guide, and then research each "competency" (listed in the table of contents) using the internet. This helped me much more than this sorry excuse for a study guide ever could. | 36,685 |
1 | A nice work | This is a nice work. In my opinion is better than the previous album, it is smoother and mature. I prefer it to the following "Mysterious ways". | 8,428 |
0 | NOT made from real sheepskin | The only part of these slippers that contains sheepskin is the exterior cuff. The upper interior is made from wool (not nearly as soft) and the interior footbed is made from cheap synthetic acrylic. Sent these back for a refund.You can find much higher quality 100% real sheepskin slipper, almost identical in design to these for only $10 more at a store that rhymes with Kabelas. (Amazon automatically deletes my reviews when I spell the name of the store with a "C") | 22,735 |
1 | Part of a balanced breakfast. | While it holds a very skinny candle to the "Nuggets" collection from Rhino, this delightful CD is perfect for the '60s music junkie looking for buried treasure. The eighteen (not nineteen) featured tracks are not to be heard on the radio, and in the case of "Day-tyme, Night-tyme" by the Band of Wynand or "Dialated Eyes" (sic) by the Gregorians, that is a pity, if not a tragedy. To sweeten the deal, entertaining and informative liner notes are included. This CD is rather difficult to locate, so I commend the good folks at Amazon.com for offering it here. | 10,243 |
1 | Good bargain, Some Great Music | Have only listened to CDs 1 through 7 so far (10 in set). Thought #2 and 6 were outstanding and have played them repeatedly. Others range from interesting to good. Would recommend buying this (10 CDs for $18.99!) | 3,392 |
0 | How to Get Cheated Out of Your Time and Money! | To save paper, she should have written an article. The "book" was based on her own experiences and did not give any real advice. Her concept is the same as any other prostitute- sell yourself for sex. I just summed up the entire story. Although by no means not brain food, I can't deny that the story was entertaining, though the pictures were more interesting than the story itself.If you are ready to sell your soul and body for money, than follow Ms. Luva in her wallowing pigish lifestyle. Who needs love, a sense of self-worth, integrity, self-confidance, or morals when you can have money, right?I say this- when I marry MY 6-figure making man for love AND finacial support, I will know which skanks to watch out for looking for my man's money! | 3,550 |
1 | I highly recommend this moveie | This movie is one that you have to really pay attention or you will end up wondering what the movie was supposed to be about.The young star portrayed her character with such feeling that you find it hard to believe that she was that young and had never been in a movie before. | 22,624 |
0 | Extreme Sports Bloopers - Sports Gone Wrong | Not very funny. No narration, not much in Major sports. NOT WORTH THE MONEY | 21,344 |
1 | Perhaps not great but really really good | J G Farrell didn't produce great literature but he certainly wrote some wonderful stories, and could be hilariously funny as he wrote about members of the British empire facing historical disasters and pondered the past, present and future of the human race. The Singapore story is one of the most interesting to come out of WWII. Farrell gives great detail and penetrating irony verging sometimes on slapstick humor to a true horror of the mid-20th century. Great characters, great story, great history, a great read. | 2,845 |
0 | Ok if someone gave it to you | This album isn't really worth the money unless you have a lot of extra money to spend. Tracks #3, #4, #5, #9, and #11 are alright but there's too many commercials for an album containing 13 tracks. | 47,243 |
0 | Don't order this from Amazon. | For all I know, this may be an excellent album. I've ordered it twice from Amazon, and each time they send me the wrong CD: "Romantic Interludes, Smetana, Liszt & Handel."When I get a chance, I'll send both of these back to Amazon, but I doubt that I'll try a third time to get the correct one. | 3,538 |
1 | Stunning Beauty Through Simplicity | Ah, melody, sweet melody, you have returned to the sales rack. This release is by far Aimee Mann's most mature, complete work to date. That is a serious compliment considering her recent past works, "I'm With Stupid" and the "Magnolia" soundtrack are beautifully written and performed. Mann has a wonderful ability to capture an enormous range and depth of emotion through razor sharp lyrical insight coupled with hook filled melodies and sparse, intelligent production. She tips her hat to the musical craft of Burt Bacharach more than once in this collection of songs (particualrly on "Nothing is Good Enough.") Her homage to his melodic skill in no way lessens her own considerable talents as a writer. If anything, this CD is a continuation of the melodic lineage passed down from Bachrach, McCartney, Costello and others with similar profound melodious gifts. This is my favorite release of the year. Thank you, Aimee. | 30,887 |
1 | In Stock | before 2 hours there was only one in stock so i want to know howa many is availabe in the stock now,, replay as soon as possible please | 22,127 |
0 | Baseless, made up propaganda | This is a book that is used in colleges across America, but contains almost no primary source quotes, no footnotes, no endnotes, and thus no scholarly support for any of it's assertions. Did the author even bother to read the founders' letters, speeches, published works, etc? Probably not, bc actual quotes from those who founded this country would really get in the way of their made up speculation, hearsay, and biased opinions masquerading as historical fact. Pathetic. | 47,648 |
1 | Review- Kensington Print in particular | I wanted to point out a couple things I didn't realize about the Kensington print in particular for others who are ordering and picking a color/print. First, it is much lighter than some of the other options which really helps when you're nursing and it's hot outside- my friends who have the solid color ones say that their babies are much warmer (it gets a little warmer under there, obviously, with less air flow) and seem uncomfortable compared to my little guy who seems relatively cool and happy. Second, and this is the main thing, my baby loves seeing the print on the underside of the cover while he's nursing! He loves the contrast between the light background and the blue and green vines which are visible even from the underside. Added bonus! Finally, I've gotten several compliments on the pattern- one woman even stopped me and asked where she could get the material because she liked it so much she wanted to make a dress out of it! | 9,239 |
1 | very good book for beginers | This book is good. If you you want to learn basic Pro/e on your own, then get this book. | 49,575 |
0 | Upset | I was upset when the 1.5" brush came apart from the handle after one use while washing it. I thought for the price I had paid that these would last a little longer. Now I am trying to figure out if I can re-glue or find another way to repair the middle sized brush. Disappointed. | 32,618 |
1 | Ricky can sing | I don't know if this man ever took singing lessons, but he can get right into your soul. He can change keys, and it almost breaks your heart with the beauty of it. I've had this CD for many years and listen to it often. I highly recommend it for for ANY music lover. | 18,717 |
0 | Tall, dark and dangerous | A woman goes undercover with members of her own family (!) who apparently don't recognize her in order to find her parents' killer. The book could have used some editing and the romance here feels forced and not natural. There is some interesting commentary about Christianity as well as Ojibwa spirituality. Not the author's best work. | 12,657 |
1 | One of the Best Scores ever Composed by John Barry | ENIGMA is one of the best scores ever composed by John Barry. It is methodically repetitive, yet simple in its construction and execution. It brilliantly taps into the emotional subconscious mind of the viewer of this intelligently crafted film. What may seem like a very static score is in effect very dynamic. I purchased this CD before I saw the film. Initially I was just pleased that John Barry had scored another film and the soundtrack had been issued. It did not seem extraordinary at the time but after seeing and hearing the score in the film I can only say and feel that it is an exceptional piece of work. It reaches back to what film scoring is all about. It evokes a feeling, a response to the images and the story unfolding on the screen. Once I saw the film I could not get this music out of my head. This is John Barry's most mature score and one of this best. It will grow on you. | 47,454 |
1 | product review | I love the speakers. Small and convenient to move around for work computer and decent quality. Great price and value. | 2,989 |
0 | It all depends... | I was highly excited when i bought this book. I am a very obsessed Led Zeppelin fan and was looking forward to reading it after listening endlessly to all of their songs. If you are just starting with Zeppelin its a great book to read, but if you a huge long time fan, than i dont recommend that you buy it. I already knew most of the stuff they said and the author lacks in explaining the actual meaning of the songs. The 'analysis' is too short. Ramble On only has one paragraph!! I was disappointed...the author is telling me some lyrics and some instruments that are used..its purely not enough..you can learn more by going on the message boards at www.Led-Zeppelin.com..and trust me i have... | 32,773 |
1 | Nice | Warm and comfortable. Very pleased and a good price. Looked for one at some stores to thin and not as well made. | 4,573 |
1 | There's a new record! | She's really good, be country or rockabilly music, she's singing with a touch of her own. Look out for her latest recording 'Ton of Heart', soon available I guess. Would she only let herself (really) go, singing without any limits, five stars should be at the least. Best tunes on the new album are 'Your Ton of Heart', 'That Much' and 'Waste It'. Get it (when Amazon finds it i.e.)! | 46,125 |
1 | Discover the true Benjamin Franklin | H.W. Brands mixes the well-known mainstream history of Benjamin Franklin with his unique blend of facts and the outcome is sensational. Brands presents us with a realistic portrait of Franklin. Yes, there are flaws in this great American. Nevertheless, one cannot help but put this book down and come away with tremendous admiration for one of our most important founding fathers. Franklin's social strata in Europe is impressive. But the outstanding quality of this very special book is the pivotal role Franklin played in the birth of a nation. | 28,281 |
1 | Great product | I searched all around and found this to be the best price for a good product. Drums went on a 74 Bronco big bearing 10x2.5 brake system | 22,264 |
1 | All of these things are possible | Hey y'all. I lived in Europe in the 80's and the vacations that I took to other locations in europe seemed a lot like this movie. I was in high school during that time and was completely concerned about drink, travel and sex. The best trip was to Lloret De Mar Spain for spring break. Yes, the things in this movie are certainly possible. This movie depicts the things on teenagers minds when they are free to do what they want. The different personalities of the four adventurers show what is important to them. If you review this movie and are critical that it holds no importance to the meaning of life, go take your Centrum Silver, drink some prune juice and go back to the activities room at the old folks home. Some people lose sight that movies like this are made for the fun and entertainment of it. Not to prove something profound. It's an awesome movie. Here in Iraq we use the "Escuze" line from the train trip to break the bordom. Enjoy it, it's great. | 31,183 |
0 | These are NOT the Originals | Do NOT order these cd's; they are FAKES. I was going to order these as Christmas gifts for a family member until I compared the song lists. If you want the real deal and not a bunch of 2nd rate "covers" go to the source: The Beautiful Music Company. They have the ORIGINAL ARTISTS. | 28,520 |
1 | A anime Classic | Arimtage III is a truly great anime OVA. Sadly it came out about the same time as the original GHOST IN THE SHELL, and was overlooked for the overrated Ghost in the Shell movie. The story is far better, truly delving into whether machines are alive or not and could they be considered human, along with many other questions. Can they fall in love, or even have children. Then there are the two main characters, Naomi Armitage and Ross Sylibus. They add depth and bring life to the story. The action is great keeping you watching even in the quiet times of the anime. The animation isn't as great as it was after all it's been 13 years since it first came out, but it still holds up today. I would highly recommend this anime over any of the Ghost in the Shell anime | 18,429 |
1 | You had to be there | Callas was at her peak during her years in Mexico City. My mother knew her. She was also an opera singer at the Palacio de Bellas Artes.I gave these recordings as a gift to my mother recently because she kept on saying during my youth that those operas were so great. After I gave them to her, she said Callas, was not a sweet delicate singer, she was inspriational in the way she acted on stage, and the tones she used to evoke emotion in an opera. Maria was the frist to do that.The recordings are not the greatest, the positive emotion it brought my mother gives it a 4 star rating.I myself prefer the Paris Debut, Tosca portion, where I can see Maria take control of the stage, and Tito raising to her challenge. That's Opera! | 47,631 |
1 | Childhood movie | I remember watching this movie as a kid. It had been a long time since I had seen it, so that was why I decided to purchase it. I remember enjoying it more as a kid, but I'm sure that's due to the fact that I was not yet exposed to today's level of animation and graphics. It was still fun to watch and enjoyed seeing that my nephews were happy with this "new" movie. | 36,340 |
1 | Hard to find Size 7s | My elderly, 70lb Old English Sheepdog suffers with incontinence. These hard-to-find, size 7 Cruisers are a diaper godsend. (Sheepdogs' tails are often docked by breeders so human diapers work well since we do not require more expensive canine diapers with tail holes). The more common Size 6 is okay, but the straps cut into her little doggie crotches and irritate her skin. Ofcourse, I've tried other brands, even coming across size 7 equivalents once or twice, but these diapers work best. The extra girth makes quite a difference and the Pampers Cruisers straps are very stretchy and comrfortable. I also like how the self-adhesive/ vel-cro doo-dads that connect the straps to the diapers are so strong that my little doggie baby cannot undo them. And , ofcourse, they keep her nice and dry, even when full. | 28,768 |
1 | GREAT CD | I have to rate this CD with 5 stars. I am a 27 year old male, just went through a terrible relationship break up and for some reason I can relate to every song on this CD. Great music, great words that actually has been helping me through this! | 48,345 |
0 | Pole | Not a good movie. Not enough action. Same boring story line as in the other kung fu movies where someone takes revenge. | 8,594 |
1 | Excellent Read | I enjoyed reading this book. As a knitter the references about knitting kept me interested in the book. | 42,255 |
0 | Terrible quality disc. | These Wham-O discs are horrible. They do not fly nearly as well as Discraft and they seem to cost more (on this website). Save yourself the trouble and buy a good frisbee for less money. Take a look at Discraft Ultrastar discs if you want a high quality, low-cost alternative to these colored plates. | 30,709 |
1 | What freedom means | The Giver won a myriad of awards and deserved every one. My criteria for awarding my 5 stars is, "Will I remember this story next week and does it leave me pondering the book's ending?" The Giver makes us think about freedom at the most basic level. We must also ponder which is more important, freedom or safety, having needs immediately satisfied through keeping people ignorant or allowing people to make their own decisions though they won't have the cushion of large numbers of people to accomplish goals. Can people live with harsh punishments for breaking miniscule rules? The Giver asks us to ponder many such questions and to contemplate how the story may relate to our own government and how our liberty and freedoms have been and continue to be diluted and even stolen by socialistic leaders. | 2,948 |
1 | refreshingly fresh and innocent and playful and insightful | This has to be my favorite volume of poetry to date (yet I am still young and have much to read). I found it "refreshing" and "light" if you will, yet at the same timetaking on some real insight. My favorite poems in the volume include "Heaven"; which I take as almost a poetic criticism OF poetry, and "London"; which takes on issues of physical beauty. All the poems in here I enjoy immensely. Well worth your small investment. (Plus it has historic value being the first in the legendary Pocket PoetsSeries. | 7,152 |
1 | very entertaining as always | It's always fun to see what Mrs.Murphy and Tee Tucker can get into. But I' ready for "Harry" to be more romantically involved with her "ex" husband, the vet., now that he's thru with that silly woman, even tho I admire her independence. This is a great series and I'm eagerly awaiting the next installment. | 48,077 |
1 | If its as Good as Final Fantasy X then go for it | i played final fantasy X a year ago and i beat it to the full and i must say that final fantasy x is one of the better games of the year now that they are making a sequel the true pop question is will it be great or will it suck well my opinion is this game took 2 years to be realeased that must and only mean it will be great this will be a must buy for all rpg gamers | 1,003 |
1 | Character is Everything | A great book for those that are involved in some form of athletics. Whatever the age of the competitor, this book does a great job stressing the importance of have high character. In the sports world that we see today, this book can help both player, coach, and parent. I highly recommend the book. | 35,284 |
1 | Great hair styling tool | As a stylist I love the Helen of Troy products. This big rod is perfect for getting that nice bump under in the back on short hair without getting actual curl. Also great for loose curl in long hair. | 27,873 |
1 | perhaps one of the finest movies i have ever seen | The casting in this film is remarkable. Placing John Malkovich as Valmont was ingenious. Despite the fact that he does not have convential good looks, one can easily see why he might be irresistable. By the end of the movie, the viewer is so intrigued by the character, that he becomes the sexiest man in the world. Michelle Pfifer also puts in a great performance - just the right blend of innocence, strength, and inevidably weakness. In addition, Glenn Close put in her best performance ever. If you have never seen it, by all means, go rent it. you will be amazed. | 43,568 |
0 | Not so great | I have read two of Jane Porter's books before this one: The Sultan's Bought Bride and Duty, Desire, and the Desert King. They are both really good books. I bought this one expecting it to be just as good. It wasn't.I saw a preview a few years ago of a movie called "Not Without My Baby." The preview was so upsetting that I didn't see the movie, although I'm sure the movie was gripping and thought-provoking. Part of this book reminded me of that upsetting preview and was hard to read. I'm also not sure that the changes in the characters' desires and personalities rang true. Yes, there was some great sexual tension, but all in all the book was quite disappointing.I look forward to reading more of Jane Porter's books - hopefully the next one I read will be more rewarding like the other two I mentioned above. As for this one, I will probably give it away so that I don't waste my time again reading it. | 4,056 |
1 | WANT TO RAISE YOUR STATE ASSESSMENT WRITING SCORES? | THE PROOF IS IN THE PUDDING! 94% OF MY SIXTH-GRADE STUDENTS MET OR EXCEEDED THE A.I.M.S. WRITING STATE ASSESSMENT THIS YEAR AFTER USING THIS BOOK! DID I MENTION MY SCHOOL IS A TITLE ONE SCHOOL? MORE THAN THAT WAS THE WRITING THAT MY STUDENTS PRODUCED. THEY USED ONOMATOPOEIA, STRONG VERBS, SIMILES, TAKE-AWAY ENDINGS. MY STUDENTS BECAME AUTHORS AND WERE INCREDIBLY PROUD OF THE WAY THEY COULD WRITE. THIS BOOK MAKES WRITING FUN FOR THE KIDS AND THE TEACHER. THE FIVE-MINUTE PLAYS WERE A HIT TOO! THE LISTS THAT THE KIDS COULD REFER BACK TO FOR STRONG VERBS, JUICY-COLORS, TRANSITIONAL PHRASES, ETC. MADE WRITING A BREEZE. KIDS HAVE AMAZING IDEAS---THEY JUST HAVE TO BE TAUGHT HOW TO GET THEM ON PAPER. BUY THIS BOOK!!!!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND "GRAMMAR WITH A GIGGLE" TOO. "GRAMMAR WITH A GIGGLE" GIVES KIDS EXCELLENT VOCABULARY TO USE IN THEIR STORIES AND TEACHES GRAMMAR IN A FUN WAY. | 38,468 |
0 | Useless sing-song style narration | After reading the reviewsto decide on buying this book, I am throughly disappointed in this purchase.The author fails to explain some of the details that make FP98 somewhat irritating.The title of this book should be : A 'fun' way of leaning FP98.Buy this book only if you are a beginner. | 33,395 |
0 | Poor phone and/or service | The phone and/or the service is very poor. The calls sound like I am talking to an alien. I have called Cingular to let them know and all I get is the run around. I was with verizon befor and had NO PROBLEMS with there service at all.I wanted to try cingulr because they have more phones to select from.I now regret going to Cingular and recommend you STAY as far away from them as you can. | 3,313 |
1 | 'THE' Classic Western | This is THE classic Western and richly deserves to have been copied as many times as it has. You are torn between admiration for the movie as a movie -- the cast, the photography, the stunts, the interwoven character driven plot; and hysterical laughter. Since EVERYBODY has copied it from every b - western to Raiders of the Lost Ark, it can be viewed as an endless series of film cliches (or archetypes) -- the drunken doctor, the dancehall gal with the heart of gold, the bad guys in black hats, the good bad-guys and the bad good-guys, and of course the calvery to the rescue! On both levels it is a treasure worth enjoying many times -- even with it's racist, sexist tone, it is a wonder! | 29,405 |
0 | If you MUST read it - borrow it! | Not really a badly written book but the secret government agency aspects are just dumb, right down to the silly nicknames. I won't avoid Elizabeth Bevarly just because of this book but I will look further than a catchy title before laying out full price for one | 48,783 |
1 | Beautiful, memorable stories and anecdotes! | A nice collection for anyone interested in all things medical. It makes a nice reference book! | 35,430 |
0 | dissapointing | where to find really really hard sudokus?That one told me that it had 9 circles of sudoku hell....No way.Even the last one that was supposed to be really hardwas solved in 45 minutes.... | 12,284 |
0 | Yipes! Check out April 11! | Not for my nine year old daughter thank you very much! This *was* intended for ages 6-10. However, the devotion on April 11 deals with an topic not intended for 6-10 year olds. I don't know what the publisher was thinking! I'll be reading the rest of this (and tearing out pages) before my daughter does another devotion in the book.Not recommended. | 14,453 |
1 | great family movie | I bought this for my 3 year old daughter last year (she is now 4) and she loved this movie and we actually own all the movies. It is a great family movie and everyone will enjoy watching it including the parents. There are plenty of jokes in the movie that the parents will find extra funny since the kids wouldn't understand completely. I recommend this movie and all the shrek movies for everyone! | 35,264 |
1 | not a bad collection | Another best of collection, but this one looks to be like it could be one of the good ones. The debut volume of the Best Catholic Writing is a good one. There are excellent pieces by Kathleen Norris, Alice McDermott, Gary Smith (by far the best piece in the book), and O'Callahan's essay on the Catholic Harry Potter, and I have to say, he is convincing. You can skip Valerie Schultz, Murray Bodo, and Paul Elie. | 3,657 |
1 | SO hilarious | This movie was so much funnier than I thought it would be. I can't wait to see it again. Buy or rent RIGHT NOW it's awesome. | 24,158 |
1 | Doesn't stray from the formula | Thumping 70's/80's dance beats that, at times, drown out the vocalist, a lead singer with a distinctive delivery, and enigmatic lyrics make "Dynamite" another clone of earlier works by Jamiroquai. There is the requisite slow jam ("Tallulah") that appears midway in the 11-song set, preceded and followed by a plethora of dance tracks, and two semi-rocking tunes thrown in for good measure ("Feels Just Like It Should" and "Hot Tequila Brown") that serve to bookend the album.Though not a bad release, it stays too true to form and can be interchangeable to the previous three releases, of which I have them in my collection, also.It's time for the group to take some chances with something NEW, rather than recycled. | 45,357 |
0 | Constantly Breaks | This chair looks nice but we have had nothing but issues with this chair. It breaks all the time - we have had to repair the rocker parts - the arms are always falling off. Terrible chair | 4,273 |
0 | Death of a Franchise | Worst Stargate show ever! I had mixed feelings about the fact that it got a second season. I was glad to know it was being canceled, but sad to hear that they were wasting their money on such a poor show. But that is what you get when Sci-Fi becomes Syfy.After 10 amazing seasons of SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis that ended before its time (only 5 seasons), I had high hopes for this series. By episode 2 I was disappointed, but thought "maybe it will get better." It didn't. To much WB channel like drama and not enough of the excitement that made Stargate such a great franchise. To top that off, they tried to shoot this like Battle Star Galactica (which I didn't like).SG:U was a sad ending to a fantastic franchise. I wish MGM and Syfy had never made this show. | 8,431 |
0 | Scents disappear very quickly | I bought this book for my 2yr old daughter because I remembered how much I enjoyed books with scents when I was little. She did enjoy the book; however, it quickly lost almost all of the scents over just a couple of months. My daughter is still 2, and just recently started pulling this book out again to read, but we are both disappointed that most of the scents are completely gone now. This book was only gently used, no rough scratching of stickers or anything like that. Only the pine and chocolate chip cookie scents are still there. After smelling each one, she keeps saying "It's not working. We have to get a new one." I'm looking around for other books now that will hopefully having lasting scents. | 46,909 |
0 | A Bad Sample of Anne Rice's Work | I agree with the majority of the other reviewers. I have tried to read this book twice, and have never gotten more than half way through it. I found Anne Rice's book very engaging, but I was seriously disappointed with this book. I chose not to purchase her latest book, because I found the Vampire Armand so lacking in quality. | 529 |
1 | GOOD ARTIST | After reading a bad review from one coleague, I deceided to put my own words. This is not a jazz music but a music in the line of Jenniffer Warnes or Beth Nielsen Chapman, The songs are good, and is a very good pop album, with good compositions. Deanna has her own personality. I am enjoing this Cd... | 11,609 |
1 | Good Catchy Song | while I can't stand Cody Chestnutt I gotta give the Roots Props for bringing a Jam out that doesn't sound like everything else out now on the radio.The Roots always have a jam or so that works&this is another one that has alot of energy to it. | 30,990 |
0 | Too wordy | I wanted to like this album, but found that lyrics interfered with, rather than added to, my enjoyment of the songs. Paul Simon has experimented with his music, and I enjoyed some of the album's instrumental sections. Once he starts singing my interest waned. After a few listenings I gave up, and won't be playing it much. | 26,138 |
0 | An Utterly Useless Book! | This is an utterly useless book.Most of the essential theorems are not proved but left as an exercise to the reader. If the reader already knows how to prove these things, why buy this book.Stay clear of this book and don't waste your money. | 33,610 |
1 | pirates attack | I give this book 4 stars. I've never seen the movie treasure planet, but this book gives me the basic idea of what it is about. This book has an excellent lesson that friendship is very important. This is a step 3 reading book. The pictures are perfect, and the text is great for beginning readers or readers who don't want to read. I would recommend this book to someone who knows a reluctant reader; it will surely stimulate them to read. | 42,273 |
0 | Stupid movie | The kids loved it, even more than the two first ones. As an adult, I found it absolutely dumb. It is a 3D movie so it looses a lot when watched on a regular TV. Story is poor, actors are not good (the wonderful Antonion Banderas is such a looser in this)...not interesting. | 5,080 |
1 | Great melodies | I enjoy the soft sounds with the powerful enthusiasm that the music offers. It is peaceful to listen to and it has many catchy musical phrases! | 30,688 |
1 | Good but not what I was looking for | This is a good CD but it did not have the song that I was looking for on it. I was looking for "I Can Only Imagine" and when the radio stations play it, it always references this CD so I got it thinking the song was on it. I should have researched it a little better. | 19,981 |
0 | miracle | THIS ,WAS A TOTALLY FIASCO,THE ORIGINAL AROMA OF MIRACLE BY LANCOME,IS UNFORGGETTABLE,BUT PRODUCT THAT WAS SENT TO ME WAS JUST A FAKE I'WILL NEVER BUY AGAIN ANY PERFUME ONLINE, IT WAS A VERY BAD IDEA.I THINK THE NAME OF THE COMPANY WHERE I GOT IT FROM WAS,SOFT PINK OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. | 41,595 |
1 | very nerve-raking,makes a peson think,& mysterious | The Cold One is very exiting. Thought, I wouldn't recomend it for children adults would enjoy this book very much. This book is very mysterious. I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did. | 44,595 |
0 | Frustrating | I too am in the queue still waiting for my set. I even pre ordered but to no avail. Amazon have apologised and suggested buying from a Marketplace merchant knowing full well there are none on offer from the Market place. They offer no estimated or delivery date either what is going on? Please address this problem Amazon! | 22,060 |
0 | Won't make Jerky | I specifically bought this item to make home-made jerky. The unit has no blower and does not get warm enough to dry meat within 4-6 hours. The meat is dried very slowly at a luke warm temperature over 24 or more hours. I do not consider it safe for raw meat processing, even if that meat is cured with jerky cure and preservatives prior to dehydration. Once I added an additional hot, dry air souce, it worked fine. To do this I placed it next to a Nelco dehydrator (with blower) and forced the blower air from that unit into the Ronco dehydrator. I have not yet tried to use it for herbs or fruit. | 40,161 |
1 | Great. | I use this with the CHICCO KeyFit 30 and it fits perfectly. Light, easy to use. The only reason why I am giving it 4 out of 5 stars is because sometimes I have difficulty collapsing it to place it in the car. Otherwise, great purchase. | 13,207 |
0 | disappointing espresso machine | this machine did not deliver quality espresso. I tried different coffees and all the tips included. weak, coffee with no crema.. the steamer worked adequately but a Mr coffee espresso macine is better.. sadly returning | 29,628 |
1 | Music to Think/Read/Meditate by: | I love sitting in the window and looking out at the trees on a beautiful sunny or dark and rainy day. I love reading books and listening to music, instead of the TV noise. So, how nice it is to have all my most favorite numbers comprised on two disks. This is my kind of "mood" magic. | 37,288 |
1 | What I was looking for | This shower caddy replaces a "stainless" steel one that had rusted after 3 years of use. Since this is mostly plastic, I'm hoping that it will last longer and look better. I've had this caddy for about two weeks now, and it looks wonderful (the white blends in nicely with the white wall of the shower) and simple. You will probably have to wrap a thick rubber band on the shower head so that the hooks will not slide off, but this is not hard to do. | 26,677 |
0 | Publishing error | I checked out a copy of "500 Essential Container Plants",from my library. Once I looked at it at home I found that for the entire section "Plant for a single season" - about 100 pages - in the body of the text the Latin name of the plants is replaced by the word "caterpillars." My guess is that the publisher replaced the Latin names with caterpillars so the text would fit through his spell checker then forgot to go back and put back the Latin. I would guess that it is the same with all copies. | 1,384 |
0 | bad | Marketed as a comedy, but nothing is really funny. It tries to be a dark comedy but fails by just making you depressed. The character she plays is stupid and doesn't really have any admirable qualities, so there is no reason to care for her... | 43,436 |
0 | Interesting | It is a very interesting movie. The movie is good if your looking for something that uses the actual play. Great for school stuff. | 5,329 |
1 | Cookbook collection favorite | As a cookbook collector, I have read and used a lot of cookbooks. This is still one of my favorites after many years. I received a duplicate as a gift years ago but cannot part with it....just in case something happens to my original. I would highly recommend this for someone who loves to cook and it would make a great wedding gift! | 36,791 |
0 | Pales in comparison | The Salt Point, an earlier work by Paul Russell, pales in comparison to his much stronger, more mature effort in The Coming Storm. Both books explore similar topics, including powerfully addictive but unwise relationships and how the choices we make affect those around us. But in The Salt Point, the narrative over-indulges in contemplating the characters rather than simply presenting them and letting the reader draw conclusions. Three of the main characters engage in the kind of endless introspection that would make them insufferable were they real people. Ironically, the character Leigh felt the most real to me, even though he is the story's central enigma.In short, readers new to Russell should skip this one and head directly for The Coming Storm. | 11,199 |
1 | Does the job. | I've been using this thing for the kitchen since forever. It seems to do the job: sink, countertop, all kids of surfaces, oven, what have you: it cleans them up very well. The first spray bottle I bought in a drugstore and now only buy refills reusing the bottle. Nothing much to say about this product; it works and that all that matters: recommended. | 36,978 |
