It shrinks
I love the bed, but this cheap sheet shrinks (and so does the bolster sheet) after washing in cold water and line-drying. Can't even use it now - should have just saved my money and used an old bed sheet.

midnight voices
Not one of Mr. Saul's better ones but it is still a good read.There is a lot of Rosemary's Baby in this one. Ending is pretty good and could almost be called a surprise.

This Book Stinks
Really, I'm just lying.I was reading a blog I follow and All Marketers are Liars was recommended. Since I respect the blogger I had it in my Kindle that day. The author makes some great observations of companies we've all heard of. I took the information and extrapolated it my tiny Health Coaching business. That same week I was sharing my story with a colleague and without trying I framed it right into his world view and he offered to become my client. Thanks Seth! I appreciate your insight. I give it 4.5 stars - really!

Nice little snapshot camera
For the price this is a good camera, I have had no problems using it. The flash works fine, there is no need for extra lights. Give the camera a second to just 'assess' the lighting and you'll see it'll boost the image up by cranking the ISO and that might be where many are complaining about the noise levels. Getting too close to a persons face can distort how they look so it's not the camera. It works great indoors and out. My husband and I just needed a simple camera that fit in our pockets and this one is it. I'm not wild about the way the colors change in the different modes such as sunset and a few others, but that's it. You can't control the ISO so if you are concerned with noise that shows up in JPEG images so this one might not be right for you. With enough lighting the camera doesn't boost the ISO. In some modes you can turn on the flash and override that little problem. For the price it's not a bad camera.

Finally!!!
Been spinning for a minute and this really makes the party happen! Economical enough for anyone to afford, yet has most of the features the the expensive models have. Can't say enough about the ease with which one can interchange cds on the fly. I use this in conjunction with 2 turntables and my ipod mixer for a full funtioning "work station". What a blessing....thanx!

not their BEST, but still wonderful
before wet from birth came out i had only heard danse macabre and loved the faint to death just from that one cd. i ran out and bought wet from birth the day it came out and upon listening to it the first time through, i was somewhat dissappointed with it. admittedly, it does not have the same explosive elements as danse macabre does. but it is one of those cds you just have to listen to 5 or 6 times before you really start to appreciate it. track 5 and 7 bore me and still havent grown on me and i dont expect them to. but "southern bells in london sing", with those violins, is one of the most beautiful songs they've got. "paranoiattack" and "symptom finger" also blow my mind. any faint fan will love this cd.

don't buy unless you're desparate
Awful - cheap, volume doesn't go very high, eject takes forever and makes horrible scrunching sound every time you close it no matter how slowly, buttons depress so hard I had to use my thumb, if you don't push down hard and hold buttons the tape tries to move but doesn't, the machine keeps stopping in the middle of playback, had to keep resetting every time I unplugged it (and the reset button on the bottom of the machine, need a pointed pen or something to push it) - enough?! Amazon nicely took it back, offered me refund or replacement - I need a recorder for work, so am desparate and opted for the replacement. Buttons on new one work quite a bit better and it doesn't keep shutting off during playback, eject process not quite so bad - BUT, it's still cheaply made and doesn't work nearly as smoothly as my 15-year-old Radio Shack recorder. So don't buy this unless you can't find another (I couldn't - radio shack doesn't have similar product anymore).

Mom of crazy two year old boy
The picture for this product is very deceiving. It is not nearly as "fun" looking as it appears and my two year old gets bored with it fast. We had a very hard time fitting the pieces together and my son can't even slide down the slide because the surface is not smooth enough. He just kindda pushes himself down it. Def. not worth the money!! I was very dissapointed because this was my son's birthday present from us.

a real dive...
As I type this review, the Drams are playing live about 2 miles from my apartment in Atlanta. Why am I not there? Well, I had planned to be. I was stoked to hear about this new band and this new record, having been a DIEHARD Slobberbone and Brent Best fan. Well, I died hard. Out of pure excitement, I ordered tickets to tonight's show prior to the record's release. After ten attempts at trying to even begin to sorta *like* this disc, I decided to stay home and eat the ticket cost. The record is clean pop rock. And I'm not mourning the loss of the fiddle and the banjo. There is none of Best's growled delivery. Little of the honest and powerful hooks that made Slobberbone great. The production is junk. Best's suddenly clean voice is buried in the music and the harmonies are flat and whiny. And the hooks are so weak they're almost non-existant. Other than that, it's superb. Suffice it to say that there's quite a bit of disappointment here.

False Advertising
Amazon must remove this item from its web site, as the item description does not match the item capability. It states that it is designed to handle 32"- 63", and that is totally inaccurate, I purchased a Pioneer 60" Plasma and it was short by 15"- 20".

Thank god I'm not the only one!!!
I worked through the 6 biological sections and found multiple mistakes. Eventhough my copy is from 96, they still haven't changed the test format in the 2000 revision. In fact all of the incorrect answers are still in the new book.A few caveats; 1. the review sections aren't the worst. I read through them for a general level of understanding. For any in depth information refer to a textbook. 2. The physical science section is difficult. However, if you can work through the tests it will help..

Great popsicle mold.......quite large though
The best thing about these molds is that you can do them individually. They are quite large though, so be prepared for that. I don't like the drip guard cause it doesn't work. The melting liquid just accumulates in their and then spills all over you when you tilt the popsicle to eat it. Other than that I think they are nice. Fit in their slots perfectly and steadily. No spilling and really nice to take them out individually and replace with a newly filled one easily.I think I am going to try to leave more room when filling to allow tongue to get under the popsicle to catch the drips though. That's the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars.

Big Disappoinment !
We were expecting that this recording of the Concierto D' Aranjuez came out to be the best, but it shows one more time that only John Williams's recording with the Philharmonia Orchestra bring to the audience the authentic message from the composer. On Manuel's recording is very difficult to hear the guitar and the sound sometime is very weak. Manuel decided to take a lot of notes out on technical challenge parts, maybe he did not know how to practice those parts or he did not have enough time to prepare the piece. I would like to say that Placido Domigo is not a conductor, a good musician can tell the diference between this reocording conducted by Placido and a recording conducted by a real and professional conductor. I will buy twenty times John Williams's recording then this CD.

A good show, but
About the only thing in this series that wasn't changed from the original BSG was the name. So I really don't relate this show to the original. I have watched and enjoyed them both. I like the stories in the new series, they are suspenseful and captivating, but I do have one gripe. I would like to see more action sequences, particularly in space. Case in point, one space battle in one episode was not even shown, but rather showed BSG crewmembers listening to the battle via radio transmission.....I know it may be cheaper this way but c'mon. That could have been a good episode....

This will make short list of worsts movies of all time...
This is the perfect movie to show in a college film/ screenwriting class on how not to make movie. The clichés, the bad acting, the terrible direction of all its moving parts, and the ill-contrived rushed plot. I stopped this movie a little after the 1-hour mark after it almost made me physical/emotionally ill. Anyone who likes this movie cannot be trusted to even take my trash to the curb. Some movies are bad, but they are made to be corny (i.e "Transmorphers: Fall of Man" or any Ed Wood flick) but this has no excuse becuase its supposed to be a serious suspense-drama. The producers and creators of this should seek work doing something else...maybe removing roadkill from the streets.Im not one to suggest ticket sales as a barometer of a good or even quality movie but this one at THE U.S. Box Office took in ticket sales of only $17,164 (stat at IMDB)...they generally find that much in between theater seats for Disney-pixar movies.

I love Tae-Bo SO much!!!!!!!!
I have seen and done Tae-bo many of times! I really thinks it works! I have gotten stronger, skinnier, and I have learned self-deffense. My mom and I do it together all the time and we love it! We started with the Instructional then the 8-minute one, then the basic ,then the advanced. The advanced is so much fun! It goes so fast and I can even keep up with it! My friends mom even teaches it at her work. She is an arobic teacher. We do it with mant other people! To sum it up, I LOVE TAE-BO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's a cute read
I found the book simplistic and obvious. It provided entertainment one afternoon at work when I had nothing else to do. Most good managers already apply most of the principals in the book. I think that bad managers will need a whole lot more then zapping (fry 'em I say). I did enjoy reading it though...it was a cute read.

Renner's charisma and energy is golden
Jeremy Renner can not be beat, the only comparison in his abilities is Edward Norton. This movie is an original quirky love story about two broken people who find love in the strangest of places, a mental institute. A harmless neo-nazi with no self control and an African American woman who is as guarded as one can be due to her past. Strangely they are perfect for one another. Renner gives a performance of a character that is manic and reckless but still remains completely lovable. Union's character is so broken, but even with all her demons she is completely charming. The two, although completely broken, together seem to make a whole person. I have no clue how they pulled this off. This is a purely actor driven movie. It is a good example of the greatness one can find in independent film.

Liz Taylor
A reporter falls in love and marries a woman. He has a job and writes novels. He gives up writing. The marriage falters. With the NR rating, I was expecting at least one nude scene, but no go. I thought it was a kind of sappy romance. I wouldn't want to see it again.

Really not for me
Maybe I'm outgrowing chick lit? Or maybe this was just crap. I'm not sure. The last few chick lit books I've read have not really been enjoyable to me, so I'm sort of leaning towards the former; but maybe I'm just making bad choices. There were not any characters in this book that I liked. They are all reprehensible, selfish and annoying. Two families are thrown together in the same house for a week of holiday and it's starting to look like it wasn't an accident. The books that Wickham wrote under the pen name Sophi Kinsella are highly enjoyable fun. But the ones written under her own name have been barely more than average in my opinion. This one is just pretty bad. I wish I could go back to my self two weeks ago and take this away.

The MM does work but beware
I purchased the Liberty MM in 2003 and I loved the way it worked until the end of this summer,2006. The unit trapped mosquitos like it said it would but these Mosquito Magnets are not made to last for long. To get the unit to work on start up is very difficult and time consuming. The tech staff are very good but the engineering stinks. Dont bother trying to fix it either,its expensive so just purchase a new one if you like it that much. Again it will clean up your area of pests but its very fickle and not for those who aren't good with technology.

ITIL Study guide - worked for me.
My approach to test preparation is not to take a gang of mock exams but to learn the process. Ron Palmer's text taught me the process. He has no mock exams, but questions at the end of each chapter that force you to go back into the text and do a little searching (there is a guide to where to find items, but you still have to do some hunting). In the course of doing this, important factors that I did not highlight when I read the text the first time were driven home. This book is not so much about passing the test (which it helped me do) as it is about understanding ITIL in ways that the official ITSmf text does not provide. I passed the test handily.

gazing ball tacky
I was disappointed in the gazing ball, as it does not look as nice as it did in the picture. It has a cheap tacky look to it, not at all what I had expected for the price that I paid. Perhaps if I hide it under some leaves and greenery, it might look better. If my husband had not been so efficent with getting rid of the packing materials, I would have returned it. It would have been nicer if you couldn't see through the glass, if it were colored glass or something, but to see the fiber optics so clearly detracts from what it could have been. The solar idea is great, and I look forward to more tastefully designed products in the future,however,I think I would want to see it in person before purchasing.

dragon incense burner
I didn't realize that this was made of resin instead of metal. I think it even comes with a warning not to put anything hot in it. And since it doesn't come with any kind of tray to set the incense on, how can you burn incense in it? It's attractive enough. I just don't like resin products.

This is a good book. I have a BA in music but there are some things I just never understood and he says it in such a way that I get it. It is nice to talk on a non-college-nerd level. He makes no I'm-smarter-than-you pretences.

First Review
This is my first review its a shame its a negative one.Three very long books leading to this one had me hooked into the lives of the main characters, good and evil. He wove a tale that had me believing that good characters did bad things and the most corrupted could find redemption in good actions. Then he threw that all out the window and marched along on a new pace - one of inaction, tensionless drolling, and monotonous diaries. All this while ignoring the characters we most wanted to hear about.Felt let down and disappointed, never mind onward and upward to more books immediatly!

For your own good stay away from this book!
First of all I'm a student. When I stared learning Java I knew next to nothing about programming and I had to use this book in an introductory Java programming class. Now let me tell you - this book caused me innumerable headaches and outbursts of anger and despair.Yes, it's a popular book, yes, many people will refer beginners to it, yes, you can find it for free. !!!BUT!!! other than that, the book is complete trash - the worst, the most stupid and useless examples ever, terrible explanations, terrible layout style and more.Don't listen to people that refer you to that book - I seriously doubt that they were learning from it when they began studying Java.THE BEST INTRO JAVA BOOK in my opinion, the book that really helped me to understand and learn programming is Introduction to Java Programming by David Liang. It's expensive and big but it's the best, really.

I was able to buy an entire box of filters for less than $20.00 and since my size filter is a little different I am not always able to purchase filters from the local stores. There was a mix up with my order, but I left a message on the company's voicemail over the weekend and first thing Monday morning they called me back and we got it corrected. Great customer service!

Incompatible with HP scanner software
The camera works reasonably well for its price; however, the software it comes with for recognizing the camera when plugged into your computer via the serial port fails to work properly if your computer has scanner software installed. Polariod tech support identified this as a potential problem when I couldn't get the Izone software to recognize the camera. After uninstalling the (HP) scanner software the Izone software did recognize the camera and downloaded the digital images as advertised.Polariod tech support suggested that reinstalling the HP scanner software after the IZone software was installed would solve the problem. It did not. Anyone with scanner software installed are likely to run into this problem which is not covered in the IZone trouble shooting guide. If you don't have a scanner this might be the gift to get for the child who wants a camera otherwise skip it.

This CD highlights how good the Cure are
As a fan of The Cure, I decided to get this CD to hear how other groups would pay tribute to this great band. I am very disappointed. Instead of a tribute, I feel that this was more of a promotional scheme by October records to get their weak roster some air play. All of the songs are played by techno bands belonging to October records. It is easy to tell good techno from bad techno, and these groups are all examples of bad techno. They are musically weak and simple. They have taken the technically beautiful songs of Robert Smith and reduced them to their most simple form. I have even more respect for The Cure after hearing this CD and realizing that not everyone can play at Robert Smith and clan's level.

Lonely sounds
Terry Bozzio is of course the soul of this album, but he's not everything there is to hear, there's also great saxofone and groovy sounds: makes me feel myself a bit abanded. This is the album for a lonely man living in small village beside mountains and forest in a small cottage with hifi-stereos and electricity.

Epilogue Please
I am inspired to write my first review ever because I have been thinking about Citizen Girl off and on all day. I listened to this book ontape and the performance of the reader was very good so I kept listening. Up until the end I was annoyed by the main character's naivete, the preposterous situations she found herself in, the raunchy language, and the general lack of any real character development but some parts were funny and the aformentioned reader was good so I kept plugging along thinking well this is no award winner but it will do to pass the time while driving to and from work. And then abruptly it was over. And I mean abruptly. The end was so dissapointing that the whole book suffered and my rating dropped from 2 maybe even 3 stars to 1. The authors could have kept their stars with a well crafted epilogue.

Petmate Purrforma Litterbox Literally Stinks!!
Worst purchase I have ever made. My old Littermaid self-cleaning cat box finally died & I unfortunately chose to try the Petmate brand. It's underpowered, runs very slowly, spaces on rake are too far apart & too thin. Rake also needs to either be angled differently or stop closer to dumping container. Always leaves stinking dirty litter at front & cats have to step in it to get into box. Have tried numerous premium litters but machine still stalls out easily. An awkward, stinking mess to clean this machine even when used properly. I don't like it & neither do the cats.

Fur= Cruelty
I'm sorry if I offend you, but fur is cruel. For foxes, they are brutally electrocuted or skinned alive just for their coats. Please take pity on them and do not buy fur. And for the dog and cat owners out there, most fur comes from China and have some stray dog or cat fur mixed in. So have mercy and and don't support the fur trade! Thank you :)

LITTLE KNOWN BUT WORTH KNOWING
I was introduced to the music from METROPOLIS in 1989, and have been searching for the cast album for many years without success. I was delighted to find it here on Amazon. It is unfortunate that the show never made it to Broadway -- There are several marvelous ballads -- most notably "You are the Light and " It's Only Love. The music has dated -- it is recognizably late '80's but I highly reccomend it to anyone who enjoys musicals such as CHESS, or Les Miserables... I have been hunting for sheet music and performance rights -- if anyone has information on either of these HELP!

You will be very disappointed if you use this method.
This book describes a sex selection method that is the complete opposite of methods that are proven to work. We used the book "How to Choose the Sex of Your Baby" by Dr Landrum Shettles. We first used it when trying for a boy and we had a son. Then we used it when trying for a girl and, sure enough, we had a daughter. We now have the two children that we always wanted. This would not have happened if we used Dr Whelan's book.

Tissot Navigator T-Touch
I liked my Nav 3000 a lot when I bought it in 2001 and found it to be very useful for INTL traveling. Traveling through time zones was a breeze with the Time Swap feature. Everything was rosy until the DST start end date changes began to fluctuate in 2007. Now my Tissot is an hour off for a week or two twice a year. With great effort, I followed the manual instructions to reset the start/end dates of DST in my time zone... to no avail. The Tissot does not recognize the new settings. That is a deal breaker for me so I would not buy another one. Other than the inaccurate time, it's a great piece of jewelry!:)

Good money learning game
Well this is a good game for learning about coins. My daughter likes it and we play it often. However the one thing I wish they would change is the area where you keep the coins in the "bank". The flimsy cardboard dividers are lousy and don't keep the coins seperated very well. There needs to be a hard plastic type storage area to keep the coins seperated.

keep looking
I liked a friend of mine's VTECH 900 mhz phone years ago, so I bought one (the 9060i). Problem is: static and chatter sometimes, even when fully charged; even when I push the "channel" button. I live in a dense neighborhood, so maybe that's the problem. Maybe it will work for you if you live on a farm (unless your livestock have cells, so to speak)... You could buy a better phone for less.

Not the best launch pad on the market
A friend of mine and I used one of these for a few years and it is not the most durable launch pad on the market today.The rod holder assembly is very weak. If you plan on flying some of the lighter weight Estes rockets such as the Eliminator and Executioner, it'll most likely work fine but if you want to fly Estes kits with the more powerful APCP (composite) rocket motors or larger mid power rockets like the Aerotech kits off this pad, forget about it!!!I personally would recommend the Aerotech Mantis pad over this one. Yes, the Mantis is considerably more expensive, the quality is much better and it will allow you to fly larger rockets off it.By the way, I finished off this Estes E pad by flying a saucer on an Aerotech G339N Warp-9 motor from the pad, sheared the legs right off. Good riddance.

The best pop album in many years...
What would happen if the best pop duo in the world made a comeback, and no one was there to hear them do it? Apparently the United States is going to miss out on Room Service for the forseeable future. What a pity, since it is perhaps the finest pop album released in almost a decade -- in fact, since Roxette's last major U.S. commercial success, Joyride.For those who are familiar with Roxette's previous work, I can say that Room Service is their most consistent and balanced album since Joyride. Crash!Boom!Bang! was too long and too extreme, with the ballads too soft and the rockers too raw; HAND had WAY too many ballads, despite their being generally very good. Room Service is like those last two albums, plus Joyride and Tourism, wrapped up into one great CD.I especially recommend "Real Sugar," "TCOMH," and "My World, My Love, My Life," but don't be a fool. It's all good, so come on and rejoin the Joyride!!!

perfection in a bottle~
I am a white woman with soft long hair. The problem is that I have to wash it daily and after styling it can leave my hair dull and dry. Let's not even add what a cold, dry winter day can do...just think STRAW! Anyways I found this at one of my local stores and it fixed my hair! I left it in over night the first night and now I just use it daily. I never have heavy hair...never oily...I LOVE THIS STUFF! Any of the other things that I have tried all left a layer of waxy build up in my hair after awhile...not this! Try it!

This is a great tool for one who wishes to study the ancient Hebrew text of the Bible. I believe much is lost in the English translation which is slanted by Western thinking. Well worth the price of the book

At The Right Price It Is Great!
If you can get a good price for this item (I paid $35.00) then it is well worth it. It performs exactly as described and I enjoy the portability though it would have been nice if it had included an XM antenna. For those of you who know about Altec Lansing's glory days when they produced top of the line speakers in Anaheim California remember this is not the same company and though the product is good for the money it will never measure up to what the Altec name once stood for.

This is a cute movie with an excellent message about relationships especially between a mother and daughter. I really enjoyed watching it!

Wrong DVD's!!
When the package came, I myself was excited. My daughter adores Elmo and I knew that this box set would be perfect. That's when everything went horribly wrong. I opened the dvd case and noticed that there were just 2 random episodes of Sesame Street. We were extremely disappointed. Amazon is a great company and I'm sure that this was a mistake, it just sucks to take the time to order something and then not get what you want.

Plastic Microscope slides
Blank Slides are what was expected however they are relative expensive when considering what they are made from and the difficulty of manufacture, and storage. 25 Prepared glass slides, specimen marked, and contained in a wooded storage box cost only 14.88.

Most unorganized text ever used
This book was by far the worst science book I've ever used. Being a senior in biochemistry, Ive used and studied many texts and this one was the most unorganized and went so far in depth that the concepts just became confusing. Definitely not a book to be used by someone with little prior knowledge of virology or microbiology for that matter.

An excellent but way too biased author
There is no doubt that Kingsolver can write, and certain descriptions of Africa and the world are quite excellent.However, she has the canny ability to show her political views with every character--a view that not all her readers may share.All the far-lefts are warm and friendly people while the far-rights are cold and unbending.I do not like the flatness of characters produced in doing so.There are bad and good democrats just as there are bad and good republicans.Adah, one of the daughters, is portrayed wonderfully. Definitely a perk of the book.I think this book is worth it in the end but I wouldn't read any thing else by Kingsolver from now on.

Great fun......Thats all...just fun!
If you were born in the 80's , you will 'get' this album. THe funny thing is, I am not sure if the singers themselves are old enough to get it at all. Nevertheless, it brings back fond memories of old NY rap and funk. It is a borderline comedy album as well....not intentionally I am sure!

Excellent book, educational, chilling nonfiction.
Robert Ressler, retired FBI agent with the Behavioral Science Unit, tells the story of many serial killers, and explains the process of profiling these monsters. It is amazing how this process expedites catching the criminal. The distinction between the organized vs. the disorganized killer directs law enforcement in their search. Ressler tells of his personal experience in interviewing killers all over the US, and the time he inadvertently placed himself at the mercy of a huge killer who had killed his grandparents, his mother, and many women. As scary as anything I have ever read, and offers a bit of understanding as to why humans become monsters.

Mexico's Cantadores
I own a considerable amount of Mexican music. The Tres Ases was one of Mexico's best and most famous groups from an era in the past. Another review seemed to not care for the their vocals. The funny thing about that is that the group is from the Mexican musical era when"cantadores"(singers) were the most popular music type in Mexico. Difficult to be from an era when groups singing and playing as they did was their main claim to fame, and then be against the group having vocals !

terrible video. save your money.
the video production quality is HORRIBLE. the angles, the audio quality are terrible. it looks as though it was put together by a junior high audio visual club. 1/3 of the video is the author re-stating what is in the book. i was hoping for a jam-packed video of practical visual representations of what is in the book. not so. the one video section where good info could be conveyed is not because the angles are wrong and you can't see the entire oourt. the video is like a patch work quilt of strangeness. including one scene with a out of nowhere guitar solo interlude. don't get this video... if amazon doesn't have what you are looking for, expand your search and pay more for an actual DVD vs buying this to watch online. i don't normal write reviews but this video was too expensive and i want to save others. turn back now. buy the book, don't get the video. ughh....

I didn't want it to end
It's hard to say much about this book without ruining any of the surprises or plot twists, which it is full of. Basically Augusten is a talented writer with a clever sense of humor who seems to actually respect his readers. With all the twists and turns in this book, I can garantee it will keep you turning pages until the end, where you will wish there were a few hundred more pages. I look forward to reading his other books now.

Thank God for Friday on Mars.
Wonderful sci-fi movie from the early 60s. Thoughtful depiction on what might happen to an astronaut stranded on Mars. Enjoyed the commentary in the extra bonus specials. I always thought it was made in black and white since I saw it as a kid on a black and white TV. Color added a new dimension. I recommend it, especially for a sci-fi collection.

I wouldn't want this "host" at my party
This had to be one of the worst movies I've ever watched. Bad dubbing,bad acting,stupid story and a silly monster. It was so dumb I skipped to the end just to see how the monster was destroyed. That too was ridiculous.

Mr. Bungle has returned
Mr. Bungle's latest LP California is one that deserves more than 5 stars, perhaps twice as many for the magnificant blend of rock, jazz, beach boys and Patton into one amazing experimental sound. "Retrovertigo" is the most pop of the songs, and I have read that it was released as a radio single, but have yet to heard any sighn of it on modern rock and mainstream rock radio. Aside from that song, most are structurless melodies you can hum along to but not repeat a verse. I love Mike Patton, he has inspired my vocal performance so much, so it is not hard for me to say that his vocals are uncomprehendable. If you liked Faith No More but not Bungle before, try this now, it is clear that Patton has turned Fantomas into his "agressive outlet" and Bungle is now his more natural side. Even Borsay might like it! Buy Mr. Bungle's California and listen to it multiple times. It is great!

dull; trite; meaningless
Oryx and Crake is a poorly written, aimless novel. Atwood's writing style is extrememly trite, her characters are flat, and her plot is unimaginative.I am a fan of dystopic novels, but this one failed to engage me in any meaningful way. The main character is unbelievably dull and at no time evinces even a modicum of understanding about his own inane life pre-chaos, the state of affairs post-chaos, or the human condition in general. Unfortunately, the author evinces just as little understanding.The ending of this novel, is, if possible, worse than the rest of it. Why on earth did Jimmy/Snowman do the things he did? The true horror of reading this book is the realization that one day the human race could be in the hands of a half-wit such as him [or by extension, the author].Why is Margaret Atwood praised so highly? If this is the new literature of modern times, we are headed toward chaos for sure.

Below expectations
After two CDs that were great and even better, respectively, one would think that their 3rd effort would even surpass them. Sadly, no. This CD explains why the group disbanded. Sigh...

An under-rated science fiction classic.
This movie is a masterpiece. The dark, rainy atmosphere of the future LA completely overwhelms the viewer. The story is also very dark and thought provoking. Harrison Ford puts in one of his best performances. Another thing I like about this movie is that its not afraid to take risks, avoiding the conventional plot turns. It doesn't spell out everything for the viewer. It may not appear to the typical action fan, but those people who take the time to appreciate this fine film at a deeper level will be rewarded. I can watch this film over and over again. A must-buy DVD.

rock n roll
This is definitely a step back to a raw format. Gone are the masterful compositions that emerged with Audio Of Being and continued with Avalanche (a CD that could be un-toppable); the songs are much simpler and undeniably rock 'n roll. And that may be the point. Simply, if you're after Matt Good the rocker you'll like this. But if you're looking for Matt Good the artist, it may have ended with Avalanche.

One Great Book!
Honestly, I didn't know this was still available. I think that it is one of the best time management books out there. Would definitely recommend it!

Turtle, turtle
Looks like the picture. Sturdy. Only thing is I never got to use it! The weather started cooling off and we closed our pool. I cannot wait to use it next year. I mainly got it so I could lounge in the pool. I kept spedning money on regular sized rafts that didn't seem to hold up well. I can tell that this float will be a lot better for suntanning.

Magnificent
This is simply one of my favorite musical works. Something like this could easily have drifted into very cheesy territory indeed, but this is first class. I actually prefer this version to the original Silk Road albums. This well-done orchestral interpretation brings something extra out of the music. It's a lovely, enjoyable piece of music.

What on earth?!? Who OK'd THAT cover?!
Clearly, the person who approved that cover is completely out of touch and has never read the series. Anne is a redheaded 12-year-old in the first book, not a buxom, blonde hottie of 18.Some people think you will make a story more appealing by sex-ing up the cover. Typical. It's like the book is telling girls that if you look a certain way, you'll be more attractive inside. The books stand alone as quality, entertaining literature. But sex sells, and so I guess that we should sell it to our girls in order to trick them into reading the classics. Good grief! The publisher's marketing department needs some help!

Submissive women trying to spread their lifestyle
This book is basically what is stated, and it tries to achieve this by placing the blame for some unfortunate occurences in contemporary society entirely on a movement for equality. It is just said that women are participating in efforts to push back women's liberation even before they fully achieved it. Shame on you!

Best of Shih Tzu books!
This book is by far the best to get when you purchase a new Shih Tzu. I bought three books ( including this one ) and this was by far the most useful information without too much fluff. The other books were more into show dog do's and don'ts. As I bought my dog for companionship and to be a great dog for my kids, which he is without question, I didn't need that. Highly recommend it...

Walker Percy's Distraction
I read Sterling's" Distraction" and though it was very clever until I read Walker Percy's "Love in the Ruins" published in 1971. I was shocked at the extensive borrowing from Percy that Sterling did to write" Distraction". The structure, plot, scenes, and the setting at the end of the world is just too similar to be coincidental. I recommend "Love in the Ruins". Percy is our american genius.

Low on power.
This product arrived very quickly but after an initial charge of about 8-10 hours, the battery only lasted about 20 minutes. Really unfortunate, but the price was accurate.

The best of the best!
Undoubtedly Milton Nascimento's best recording. Backed by many of his own Brazilian jazzmen as well as many members of the legendary Miles Davis's band, this albumn demonstrates the range and beauty of Milton's music. Fairy Tale Song and Nothing Shall Be As It Was are two of my favorite Milton tunes to this day. As noted by another reviewer, I did a taxi-war-dance in the record store when I found the cd release of this record some years ago. If you like this one, try Encontos E Despididas, it's been in my cd carosel for so long I don't know where the jewel case is...

It's not even worth that one star I am giving
People, have mercy! How anyone could write anything positive about this tedious thing!? They must have been paid to do it.Some, like the author of this thing, should have been banned from making films. He doesn't even use his real name. I am not suprised. If I created such crap, I would have done it anonymously too!There are not words to describe how stupid and unbelievable is the script. It reaches the lowest levels of the silliness bottom.Acting...There is no such thing as acting here.After I saw "Aaron...albeit sex hero" yesterday, I thought it can't get worse than that. Well, apparently it can and it got.LOSS OF TIME!!!
