0 | A Blast From the Past | This is a reprint of a grammar manual that was published before the Russian Revolution, with a few lines of modern editing(in a different typeface). The author was a professor at Oxford. The Cyrillic alphabet used in this book contains a few obsolete characters. It is quite surprising that REA let this slip through. | 36,610 |
0 | Dissappointing | To be succinct: I loved the first 3 books. This book was not as engaging as a 600+ page book needs to be and I am very concerned that To Dance with Dragons will not answer the cliffhangers present in this book.There are a number of cliffhangers in this book - some real good ones. In fact, just when I was considering giving up on this one it started to get interesting and the fate of some major characters is really left up in the air. Then it ends and there is a note from Mr. Martin explaining how all the other narratives will be in the next book - BUT - when will we find out the fate of the stories in this book? Book 6? Long and a bit dull with no pay-off for two more books is just asking a bit too much. | 21,781 |
0 | Not for Professional at all | I do not expect it perfect tool at [money]. The reason I bought is for only rough estimate quickly. It has to aim straight 90 degrees against flat objects to get correct distance. It is not easy to hold like that with a free hand. I have owned another kind of brand for many years that does not have laser targeting. I paid [money] at [my local home-improvement store], but I have never used it at job site because of too many mistakes. I thought after many years they had changed a lot in technology. There is no difference at all between now and many years ago. Only I paid more for I could not use. It looks excellent for vacant places at this price. I had a chance to use high tech distance measuring tool from Hilti. That is very easy to use and accurate. But expensive. | 748 |
1 | its not bad | i bought it for college purpose (ESL classes). it's not bad, in fact, I found it easy and it was easy for me. so you might take it if you are taking an ESL classes. | 47,070 |
0 | Agreement about the edits | I will agree with the other reviewers here on Amazon. I purchased this at the warehouse and viewed the first 3 episodes with my wife tonight. The episodes are between 23 and 28 minutes long. These are edited down to about half the original broadcast. Do not get me wrong. Some of the skits are very funny. The barbarshop scene w/ orsen wells and Jimmy Stewart made me laugh for its 5 minutes of wit. But the episodes all have end credits that show snapshots of scenes from the show broadcast, and you can guess easily what you misses on the DvD realease.In addition, the audio mixing is terrible. Watching this DvD with a 5.1 system, you loose vocal in the center channal at the end of the first episode/ disk 1. If these broadcasts were recorded in Mono, realease them in Mono. Fans will not criticize Dvd producers for that, but I will criticize the mixing here.Dean Martin had a great show on NBC. Keep it simple. Realease the episodes in Mono and unedited. | 6,830 |
0 | Is This a Reformulated Product? | I have been using the "can" packaged Lawn Boy oil for many years for my Lawn Boy mower, chain saw, and other 2-cycle engines. I noticed with my last purchase the packaging had changed to a 8oz bottle. What caught my attention is the label no longer mentions "ashless", and with Lawn Boy now part of MTD, I am not sure this business has been outsourced to another vendor and the formula has changed.. I'm not sure I want to use this oil any more... | 43,069 |
0 | Not worth the time | The story seemed forced and came out unnaturally. The premise was an interesting, but I found my mind wandering. The characters were not engaging at all! Also, their actions often seemed to come out of no where, with hardly any follow up. The beginning of the novel overall was too cutesy and corny for words. The ending was a bit better, but still didn't make up for the first portion. I'm glad I've done reading it, so I can move on to something more interesting and better written! | 23,070 |
0 | Great reading? Are you kidding me? | Who could possibly claim the following sentence (which DOES occur in this novel) is in any way good, or that it was written by an author with even a shred of skill?: "High though he was getting, Chuck, what with his three years at M.I.T. and his 800 SAT score, is digging me utterly."Flannery O'Connor, in a letter to one of her friends, wrote of Thomas Wolfe that anyone who admired his novels liked good fiction only by accident. The same holds true for Walker Percy. | 8,161 |
1 | good and bad | the ink is much cheaper than OEM versions. However with some of these remanufactured carts you have to trick the printer into recognizing them. make sure you figure that out before ordering. | 35,914 |
0 | It's like paying for Boeing's advertising | Short on substance, lots of self-conscious handwringing about the B787, hardnosed opinions about the Airbus, and unnecessary graphics effects, e.g., cutting through a 3D-rendered body of the plane. The overwrought comparisons of the B787 to the albatross are maudlin. "Legends" suggests that it is an overview of aviation's best, but is anything but. | 28,688 |
0 | Excuse me, but did you say "EXTRA TRACKS"???? | The title of this CD mentions "EXTRA TRACKS", but the song listings are the same as the other PIXIES LIVE CD. They both have 15 songs listed, and are in the same order. I don't see any extra tracks here. Where are the extra tracks thou speakest of? | 1,383 |
1 | Take Jon Davis' growl and combine it with Videodrone's music | ....And that is exactly what you would get.Although more abrasive than both bands, you can still get the idea of what they are like. Definetly pissed about something (who isn't?) Everyone who wrote reviews for this cd are correct : this is a GREAT cd to listen to when you are mega pissed. | 40,051 |
0 | Not Really a Soundtrack to the Movie | This soundtrack was a BIG disappointment. I thought the music in the movie was amazing and captured the spirit and life of the people of the Appalachian Mountains.But this drivel is more 'inspired' by the movie than 'from' the movie. Country stars riding the coattails of some beautiful, raw music. The best song from the movie (when the couple sings and plays violin on the porch after selling their farm) isn't even on the album.I'm going to try and return this tripe. | 24,942 |
0 | Not one size fits all | I thought this product would prevent my cat from flinging litter all over my floor, so I purchased it. It worked great for a few weeks, until my cat started peeing on the inside of the dome : ( The urine would stream down the sides, go out of the dome, and then on to my floor; disgusting! I tried making sure the dome was on tight and pulling the litter bag up on the sides of the dome, but at best all I could do was get the urine to pool in the bag and then dump it into the litter box. The end result was I traded litter on my floor for urine. This box is not for my cat and thus I have retired it and resorted back to an open litter box and lots of vacuuming. | 32,579 |
0 | My boring life | This was so shallow and boring! Basically, this is just a series of sexual encounters punctuated with alcohol and drugs. Oh. La. Ti. Da.Basically,the action is predictable beyond predictable. The main character, a woman, screws a random guy on a one-night stand. She drinks. She screws some more men. She drinks some more. The resolution? In a tantrum because the guy she picked for the one-night stand of the moment has had so much cocaine he can't get an erection, she decides she's going to "take a break" from casual sex and hunt for a husband. Fifties throwback much? Ick.I kept thinking there was some emergence story coming out of this, as in stuff like, "Crank" and the other Hopkins' books, or even a struggle story. No such luck. She may have a TV show worth watching, but this book is NOT worth reading, free or not.Don't waste the space on your Kindle nor on your bookshelf. You will regret it. I promise. | 46,233 |
0 | horrible! | I got this game at officemax for only $10 and got it home expecting something great but when i started to play it i had to spend 15 minutes trying to figure out how to play then finaly i figured it out and then it took soo long to get all the attractions up and then get them into place that i finally just quit for a little while. I just play it now when im bored and have lots of time to do nothing! | 693 |
0 | burn this book!!! | WORST BOOK EVER written for babies, this man is not a doctor, and your baby will be seriously harmed if you use this book. I have personally seen the long term results of parents who use the Ezzos parenting advice and it is disastrous. this man should be placed in jail for advocating infant abuse and neglect. please do not buy this book and if someone gives it to you BURN IT!!!! | 31,751 |
0 | This is just terrible... | I've listened to this cd constantly for 23 hours now, and I must say...it's a piece of crap. And it makes me sooo depressed, I just wanna escape this world and go live with the monkeys in the rainforest tree tops...all thanks to Sugar Ray. | 3,120 |
1 | Very pleased | The list price of $149 would have been way too high, but at under fifty bucks this is a bargain. Nicely finished with a pleasant sound.Doesn't stay in tune long enough to be used on stage, but as I'm only using it for home recording that's not a problem.If you're looking for a pretty good "starter" mandolin, you can't go wrong with this one. | 32,166 |
1 | Works as advertsied | Essentially thin packaging tape, but works very well. We have patched up 20-yr old books as well as bound piano music sheets. Once it's on, it's on, so be careful and have steady hand when applying! The tape is not forgiving, but works very well once you have it on. Of course, only time will tell, but seems like a good niche solution. | 12,578 |
1 | I want to give it 4 and a half stars, but amazon limits me to 4 | I have the version that comes with a bonus DVD and lyrics booklet. The packaging is really nice but lets talk about the music.After "Shadows On The Sun", one might deem it "impossible" for Ali to come back with anything as strong/critically acclaimed.... Well then prepare for the "impossible". As Ali spits about variety of issues [his divorce, his family, being broke and homeless, the war, his race, social issues, etc] and of course the battle raps Ali fans have grown to love,you will notice that there isn't one weak/mediocre song on the album. It also doesn't hurt that the beats are being supplied by Ant of Atmosphere.Considering the current saturation of mainstream hip hop with the usual(Money, Women, Cars, Rims, Guns, Diamonds...) and songs with nice beats, catchy hooks and of course a dance (sometimes a guilty pleasure of mine), "The Undisputed Truth" is definitely a breath of fresh air...GO COP THAT!!! | 16,987 |
1 | Stop comparing, just buy this | There are going to be a lot of comparisons drawn to The Bravery: Interpol, The Strokes, The Killers, U2, Joy Division, New Order, Duran Duran, Elefant, and probably thousands more. It's almost impossible not to. But once you get beyond who they sound like, what you're left with is that this is probably the greatest band of all time (hyperbole for effect). I saw them live just last night and they were amazing and I still can't hear out of my left ear. If there is any justice in the world (and there is not), these guys will absolutely blow up in 2005. Buy this. Buy their album when it comes out in March. Trust me. Get on the bandwagon now. | 15,539 |
0 | Didn't work for me | I had high hopes for this product, but after using it at night, I didn't see a difference in my skin. | 18,046 |
1 | Contemporary Spirituality and Organized Religion | Many times a good churchgoer approaches me in my ministry with doubts about organized religion. I always recommend this book, as it offers a practical and spiritual understanding of Christian faith and faith communities. It is a lively and inspiring account of new Christian communities in Africa. Although this book is written by a Catholic priest, it speaks to the heart of any Christian. | 44,077 |
1 | No Regrets | 18 months-old, used daily. To date there have been no problems or hiccups, and I remain quite pleased with it. The temperature issue raised by others is valid, but avoidable by allowing a few more minutes of warm-up time. | 24,103 |
1 | Great travel/motorcycle video | I couldn't stop watching this. Granted, these guys are actors and probably a bit pampered in real life and could afford certain training and luxuries that your average person maybe could not, but you definitely get to see a very real and genuine side of them both here. They endured some very tough stuff that could break even some of your toughest trekkers or bikers but they pulled through like champs. I had never heard of Charlie Boorman before this but I got a new respect for both him and Ewan MacGregor after watching this. Definitely worth watching for anyone who loves travel OR off roading of any sort. | 16,455 |
0 | harry potter | this was the worst product i ever bought. pirated copies with subtitles in russian. they froze up part way into the movies. i tried 2. my grand kids were really upset as this was their reward for reading the books(they are 6 & 8)i think that this is really bad pr for amazon. one star is too much should minus 100 | 7,360 |
1 | a book that is out of this world!!! | this book was g8 but i thought it was to short. elena comes bak rite at the end i want to no wot hapens next. so L.J.Smith is there gonna a next book and if so whens does it come out? im dieing to no!!!!!! | 30,433 |
0 | NOT QUIET, NOT AT ALL, even though advertised as such | Tremendously disappointing! LOUDER than 2 other dehumidifiers I have compared it to, even though it was supposedly engineered to be quite. Clearly they can just say whatever they want. I originally bought an LG dehumidifier from Home Depot, but I returned that one because it was too loud. I found this "QuietCare" model online and ordered it. It's MUCH louder than the LG model was. It's also much louder than the 2 my parents own. I'm sitting about 35 feet away from it now (it's in bedroom, I'm in living room) and I have to turn the TV way up just to hear over it. Don't even dream about being able to sleep with it operating. This "QuietCare" nonsense is a complete scam and I'm just disappointed that I had to order online (couldn't find any stores carrying it in my area) and cannot return it now. | 27,057 |
0 | Good price, but quality is not the best | I was looking for a simple German flag for a party that I am going to have and thought that this product is perfect for that, especially for that price.The shipping was actually super-fast but the quality of the product is questionable.There are a lot of white spots on the black part of the flag and the 3 stripes are not quiet straight all the way through either.Besides that, for that price the flag's pretty alright. | 36,930 |
0 | I walked out during the torture scene | I have only walked out of a very few movies in my life, but this one takes the prize. To detail the torture of a bound officer is beyond the pale. Truly abhorent work. Shameful. | 35,534 |
0 | So Disappointing | I think Isla Fisher is adorable. This movie, on the other hand, was not. There was no chemistry between the main characters and I couldn't wait for the film to be over. Isla is a wonderful comedic actress and the poor script did not allow her to showcase her talents. Stay away! | 12,986 |
0 | I wanted to like this book | After reading some of the other reviews about this book I decided to try it out. I really wanted to like it. The book is written in a child's voice, but the subject matter is very adult. I just don't find this kind of reading enjoyable. I know that stuff like this happens in real life; but I like to read fiction to take me away from the gruesomeness of the world, and its abuses. | 17,855 |
0 | Wrong item sent | I ordered wxi377 but they sent the wxi477 without notifying me. At the time, I could have bought the 477 phone for $40 cheaper than the 377 phone. They did however refund me $20. Use caution when ordering from this co.. | 32,600 |
1 | Clear, Useful Advice | This book provides a clear picture of how the record industry works and practical advice about how to get a deal. George Howard does an excellent job of taking a complex and often non-intuitive subject, and making it easy to understand. The book includes extensive quotes from professionals in the field which serve to illustrate and puntuate George's explanations. If you or someone you know is hoping to land a record deal someday, you should read this. | 41,446 |
1 | Not powerful enough | The suction is not strong enough -- too much water stays in the carpet. The power brush attachment is very convenient for cleaning upholstery. The vacuum is pretty heavy, and I remove all of the attachments from it before operating it to make it a bit easier to move.These complaints aside, I am happy with the machine. | 696 |
0 | spirit medicine | I did not find this book very helpful, I would not recommend it, get it from the library 1st. Then if you like it buy it. | 20,415 |
0 | Horrible | Just as bad, if not worse, than the first album. You'd think they would have stopped after the first one, but apparently there's a lot of suckers out there who will buy anything just because it has Christian symbolism on it. | 24,741 |
0 | Very poor quality | I passed up the cheaper versions of this product, since they had poor reviews. I figured going for a bit more money would provide better quality. .....Wrong! While this item arrived promptly, it was constructed with extremely thin, cheap wood, and there were several knotholes present. I decided that it 'may' work, since I would only be using it to hang a few necklaces. ....Wrong again! I even gave it a coat of Krylon paint to provide a bit more strength. One of the bars immediately broke right in half when I attempted to screw it to the wall (right where the biggest knothole was located). Instead of putting time and effort in giving the rack a chance to work, I should have returned the item right away. | 39,348 |
1 | Singing better than than I ever would have imagined | I've been using the techniques in Can You Sing a HIGH C Without Straining? for about two years now. My range increased tremendously. The book helped me to really get to know my voice, especially in the area of tone and control. It gives you the tools to take your voice to the next level safely. The book teaches that you don't have to strain or feel uncomfortable when singing higher notes, and I can say that's exactly what I now experience because of this teaching method. The vocal examples on the DVD and CDs that come with the set were very helpful. I'd highly recommend for any singer interested in improving their voice to buy this book. | 13,999 |
1 | Another great buy!! | This is the best swing ever! I wish I had this one with my other 2 children. My son loves it and is so comfy. Most swings you can not put a newborn in with out using rolled blankets for support. But this swing lays back so far and is shaped perfectly for a newborn all the support needed. It also has the head pillow which makes it even more comfy. I also like that it has the option of going side to side or front to back. My son prefers the side to side and thats something you just dont know until you have one. He also likes to look at the mobile on top. Its the only place he will take a good nap. He is 3mo. now and is just now getting into the toy bar. but that is easy to remove when he is ready to sleep. It is also very easy to change the seat positon on it. I love this swing and Highly recomemend it. | 4,520 |
1 | Better then you think. | This Movie is a bit better then you think. A bit bloody. But fun and the ending is a real kick...i got it a Target. glad I did. With everyone saying how bad it was. it is better then you think...If you got the time, watch it... | 5,421 |
1 | Love this book! | I got this book for my daughter after I read it at my job with autistic children. My child loved it, and I even took it to her school and read it to her class. The only problem I have with it is it includes the word "stupid", which I replace with "silly" when I read it to my children. | 23,430 |
0 | I was cheated! | I thought I was getting the Soundtrack with the music listed on the description page. Instead, I received another CD with the soundtrack "SCORE". All instrumental music and none of which I was looking for. I wasted my money and I hope this seller realized what they did to me and how disappointed I am. | 44,491 |
0 | Love it, but disappointed | I love Riven! I played the CD version years ago and was unable to finish it. Thinking the new DVD technology would be even better, I was excited about ordering this. But it doesn't work with new computers. I've been told the DVDs will still work with Windows 95, but not with anything newer (XP, 98 or 07). It freezes up frequently, making me restart very often, so I started saving my games like crazy. But after 18 games, it lost the previous 3, taking me way back, and I couldn't get any further. What a disappointment! It's too bad the company is out of business, which means no tech support at all. On to newer games, I guess... | 30,402 |
1 | He's simply the best | THis album was not a disappointment at all. He is just fantastic and this is worth the money. The only song missing on this CD (although I guess it was never a major hit) is one called Lets Apologise. I cannot find it anywhere and it is the best song ever. It was on an album called Take No Prisoners and it's as if it's disappeared from the face of the earth. Other than that, about every song you love of his is here. Go buy this now. | 42,238 |
0 | Ready to throw the bottles through the window!!!! | Like many others, I registered for these bottles because they were supposed to be the best out there. After they started leaking, I just sucked it up for a while. Then I got aggravated enough to write to AVENT on their website. They wrote back to me that I was screwing them on too tight. So, i took their advice, and now, after washing the diaper bag for the umpteenth time because the contents of the bottles spilled out all over, I have written to them again. I don't think that I should have to worry about how tight I am screwing the tops on. I should be able to twist the top on and rest assured that my child won't go hungry and scream because his formula is all over the bottom of the diaper bag! | 25,858 |
0 | poor delivery | I have gone through circles at my mail room and we have come to the conclusion that the dvd had never made it to my address. I was not satisfied how this order was taken care of. | 6,984 |
1 | Wonderful fun... | Our family loved watching this movie together, and the kids have watched it several times since our purchase of it. So glad we bought this dvd! | 39,541 |
0 | Terrible mix. Backup overwhelms vocals. | Songs on TV show are mixed far better than CD. Best selections are Vonda with minimal accompaniment. CD was a real disappointment after hearing the same numbers on Ally McBeal. | 24,298 |
1 | Great for target shooting | Celestron has always made good quality/value scopes, and this one is no exception. While it is no Swarovski or Nikon, it certainly gets the job done! You'll love the extra brightness that the larger diameter objective lens gives you, and the zoom eyepiece is about as good as you'll find.Focusing is slightly awkward, but once you get used to it it works OK. Once focused, images are tack-sharp.I use this primarily for target shooting, and it is perfect for that purpose. It works best in bright sunlight when at higher magnifications, and works great in any conditions when using lower magnifications.I plan to use this for some up-close bird watching this spring, and I think this scope will be great at that as well.For the money, this scope is hard to beat for its excellent build quality and good overall optical performance. | 16,203 |
0 | Obie doesn't live up to hype | Obie is a mediocre lyricist, with a below average flow and delivery. The best joints on this album have NOTHING to do with him, but rather the guest appearing on the album. First mistake they made was making and releasing "Got some teeth". The song alianted his current fans. People saw right through the attempt to gain the TRL crowd and the single bombed. Despite MARKETING this album so strong they had NO buzz. So they then threw in a "Golden Ticket" to boost the sales and stop the album from FLOPING. But the winning ticket is to meet EMINEM not OBIE TRICE? The album has average to below average beats and brings nothing to the table as far as lyrical content. Which a rapper with personality and charisma could get by with. But Obie lacks both. | 23,160 |
1 | Latest Generation Kindle | I am very happy with the recent purchase of my Kindle. It is very user friendly. I like the fact that you don't have to connect it to your computer to download content. If you accidentally download something you have the option to cancel the purchase. I love the feature that allows you to move the cursor in front of a word and the definition of the word comes up at the bottom of the page. I am also able to download the same book to my iphone with a free app and sync it to the furtherest point I have read, allowing me to read on my iphone when I don't have my Kindle with me. All at no extra cost! I recently took my Kindle to the beach and had no problem reading it while enjoying the sun. | 15,252 |
1 | The Ultimate Desert Island Disc | Although there are over 100 reviews of this recording here already, it's worth mentioning again that this is one incredible record. If there ever was an album that defined rock and roll, this is it. Every song is great and worth listening to. EOMS is on my personal top ten desert island list, and it seems like many others agree. | 23,607 |
0 | Price vs, Quality | The item is very inexpensively made from stamped metal. The finishing of the clip left sharp corners that are uncomfortable against my leg when the clip is carried in my front trouser pocket, The overall dimensions are too small and make it inconvenient to handle. In summary, the price is too much for what I received and the overall finish is unsatisfactory. | 37,445 |
0 | GET THE REMIX IMPORT VERSION | it may be hard to get, but its worth it. the import version is one of the best electronica records i own. its lush ambient emotional sound scapes totally accent the vocals. the u.s. rock version of this record is crap radio grunge. not art. | 15,719 |
1 | Book: Forgive and Forget | Very insighful - this should be available in every library to be read by every person - especially those who claim to be Chrisitans - gives no room for ever holding a grudge. | 34,662 |
1 | Love it!! | I orderd this with reservations.. because it was so cheap. But wow it works and works well, comes with a pamphlet that tells you what the codes mean. It worked on both my VW and my Chrysler and I am pleased. The day after I received it we tried it on my boss truck and it gave him the codes of what was wrong with his truck. Good buy.. for the price and does the job. Thanks | 16,447 |
0 | arg!? | i dont know. i bought this cd expecting it to be as good as the first one i bought. but i was dissapointed. the songs on it arent what i expected from the band. i also bought sparkle and fade, but so much for the afterglow is my favorite cd.so maybe i just didnt know what to expect from the band...but i really didnt like this cd that much. if you dont have so much for the afterglow, get it. | 23,902 |
0 | Chakras for beginners? | I didn't like this book much at all. Even though the author might know his chakras inside out, he failed to motivate me to work on them. Too much new agey sweetness of light for me, sorry. I regret buying this book. | 22,957 |
0 | Did not send product | Hydrofarm failed to ship the product. When I contacted them 2 months later, they sent me a lesser product (60 watt), promising to send the 150 watt version when available. They never did this. | 29,319 |
0 | Good topic, very badly written | I bought this book with great expectations. It covered all relevant subjects related to DSL. Even the first chapter summarizing POTs cable plant was encouraging. But, the book is horrible. Things are just thrown together without explaining clearly any of the subjects. Despite all the bad reviews you might be tempted to buy this book because there is not another book that covers all the DSL related material included in this book. Don't!There are many good books on communication theory that cover equalization, echo cancellation, adaptive filtering, error correcting codes, noise, etc. It might be necessary to read some of these general books + a simple book on DSL to cover the same material as this book does. | 30,701 |
1 | It was good just a week ago... | This was a very good book written with excellent morals. I found myself feeling sorry for the playa, playa, but you reap what you sow.The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was I felt it needed one more chapter - maybe not even that - a few more lines to completely end it. However, if "The Truth About Cianni" is the sequel, I'm patiently waiting on it! | 6,342 |
1 | Please make available in US | Please please please someone make this available in a format that can be viewed / played on my US dvd player. This is a series I have been waiting for to be produced for a l o n g time. I agree with the previous review - if Warner Bros. can produce the 1st series, what's the hold up!? | 21,845 |
0 | Who doesn't already own this on Standard DVD?!!?!?!?! | Please boycott this repackaging of the same product over and over again. We want BLU RAY! George, give it up man, I'm not buying the same six movies again. Well at least not on Standard DVD... | 26,908 |
0 | Official FrontPage 2000 Book | This book is decent reference material for experienced web devlopers looking to learn the tools of FrontPage, but is not appropriate for beginners. The mateial is poorly presented, lacking in graphics, and is poorly written. The book is plagued by irrevelant information, run-on sentences, and topics being referenced before they are defined and explained. Aside from the fact that the authors clearly do not have a background in instructional design, it also appears that they might benefit from an introductory college English course. I can't believe Microsoft endorses this book! | 23,489 |
1 | Swan Lake | The information provided by this page is too limited. Starring: P.I. Tchaikovsky, et al. Is it a joke? Please at least list the name of the ballet troup. | 44,310 |
1 | Like pc-medical school | This book shows you clearly how a computer works and how you can get into it to make changes, updates and repairs. I was happy to learn that I actually know a lot! But the stuff I didn't know what there. I was able to fix two older computer (seniors) by following this book. I was able to easily move a hard disk drive, so now I have extra memory on my current computer and can recycle an older one. | 26,433 |
0 | Simplistic | I read this book two years ago hoping that it will give me an insight and an interesting frame of reference for my thesis. I was disappointed. The only aspect I found useful was the information on the different policies of assimilation of the Turkish minority during Communism. | 40,409 |
0 | again? please no.... | not another one...dont they have enough money and time to stop ruining the music industry? i guess not...anyways, again we get one hundred percent pure crap from one of the worst bands in history. for all you kiddies who disagree, shut up because you really dont know anything, unless you can at least say one bad thing about this album, because then i see you are not as ignorant as you are precived to be. I happen to be in high school as probably many of the kids are that reviewed this, i am a sophmore, and i also happen to stay as far away from music like this as possible. you fans of this say its "punk" and the songs are "catchy" and "help" you. you obviously havent heard much. Bad Religion, Rise Against, Strung Out, NoFx, and Descendents are all "catchy" punk bands with real talent. please do yourself and everyone else a favor and spend your money on the bands that deserve it, not Simple Plan. | 1,476 |
1 | very different | compared to underdog, i expected this cd to be pretty heavy. i was wrong - it's a lot softer, but you can tell the band has matured a lot over the last couple years so the lyrics are deeper and more meaningful. in my opinion, the best songs are ocean floor, lift, glory, and summertime. some songs i don't like at all, but that's because i enjoy hard rock more than softer stuff. a decent album even if you're not a hardcore audio adrenaline fan. | 24,374 |
1 | Big Big Big | Much bigger than it looks. I could not carry it as it would hit by bottom. Good for me my husband being of decent height did well with it. It hold everything but the kitchen sink. I washed it in the machine and it did pretty well. I didn't find the straps to be an issue. | 7,398 |
1 | Great Stuff! | Excellent mp3/wma/wav player. I just got it, and it works perfectly. I installed the software onto my laptop, Windows ME, transmeta crusoe gigapro cpu 533mhz, 128mb ram (112mb ram, 16mb shared with video ram), and the software works great too. putting my mp3s onto the player was a breeze. i just selected the "my music" folder that contained my mp3s (99 percent ripped from my cds) and clicked a button and it put the music on the Zen Micro.I read that some reviewers had problems with the earbuds not going in all the way.... i thought i had the same problem too. the sounds was kinda weird, and it wouldn't fit all the way into the player.well, i don't know about anyone else's, but it turns out that you just simply have to "click" it in. it's not a problem, it's just the way it was made. a little kid could make it fit.again, this is my own player, i have not seen anyone else's, and they may actually have problems with their earphone jack. i'm just simply saying that mine is perfectly fine. | 36,225 |
1 | Great Prequel | This movie is a great prequel and much more than I expected. The change in point of view and the telling of Caesar's story made this a much more interesting film. It was a bit over the top towards the end, but by then I'd bought into the story, so it really didn't matter. I'd love to see a sequel to this film. | 18,672 |
0 | LOST | Where do I begin. I don't, I am just going to say it was sick. If it was from an Art perspective, then it may have gotten four stars. Such a waste of film. | 5,401 |
1 | must be good | I bought this as a gift for my nephew and he later went on to win his school's science project that used Java to create a computer program that mapped the continental drifts in centimeters... | 45,822 |
0 | hard to find five let alone ten great games in Cap history | This is a DVD set stretched pretty thin given the failures of the Rod Langway-era Capitals to go deep in the playoffs. I get that now Alexander Ovechkin is "the" superstar but how about waiting until the Caps do something of significance in the playoffs before releasing anything like this?To be honest, the greatest game in Caps history was one they lost--the 1987 Mother's Day marathon OT Game 7 vs. the New York Islanders. That you can get on the Isles DVD set and is far superior to any of these games on this one as that had unreal action even during the 2nd and 3rd OTs when players were beyond tired.Skip this and wait another ten years to see if the Caps can compile enough games worthy to be called "great." | 26,273 |
1 | Wonderful Story | I have always loved Coleen Dewhurst as an actress. She is just perfect for her role as an older, expectant mother. This story is very heartwarming. It is about a family that is blessed with a surprise just when they thought their lives were in order. Although the movie was made in 1979, it fits nicely into today's world - a world with too much violence - and reminds us that love and caring are still the most important values surrounding us. | 2,949 |
0 | Ouch! | Hearing these tunes on the radio is a truly frustrating experience! This will be some of the stuff people laugh at when they look back on bad 90's music. | 40,592 |
1 | Excellent for both experienced and novice quilters. | This is an excellent book on watercolor quilts for both experienced and novice quilters. It gives step by step instructions for making wallhangings and quilts. The book includes lots of tips on shorting fabric pieces and how to shade the watercolor quilts. | 3,315 |
0 | Great premise, terrible excecution | When you hear the title, Jesus Christ: Vampire Hunter, you think Jesus Christ, in full linens, Hunting Vampires. Instead of this, I watched 90 minutes of pure crap! Jesus only looks like Jesus for the first few scenes, and then runs around Vancouver like a punk rocker, (By the way, a Canadian Punk is absolutley impossible)plus Jesus fights more Athiests than Vampires! The Movie had the chance to be raw and hilariously offensive, but intead the Writer/Director played it safe, thus losing the humor. This movie is Garbage, the creator should take this story and sell it to someone who could do something great with the idea, Like Trey Parker. | 2,401 |
1 | Mom of sensory kid | AWESOME!!! This product is perfect. My son is in kindergarten and he loves it! It has helped him sit still at the desk when working. | 13,005 |
0 | Lacking scientific support | After reading many books of this kind and looking specifically for books with a strong scientific support, I can say that this is a wonderful book in terms of images and editing, but not a good reference if one is looking for the best exercises and methodologies. Scientific evidence proves that the exercises described here are not the best choice, some of them might even be dangerous if one is not careful enough, and moreover, the muscolar districts involved in the exercise are not those that are highlighted. | 1,347 |
0 | For people who can't sleep... | If you find yourself unable to sleep, no matter how hard you try, put this dvd in and you'll be off to dreamland in no time. If your enterested in the real Jack The Ripper, you won't find him here. If you are a collector of bad movies, this one for you. This movie is so bad, it's almost a must to have. | 43,974 |
0 | THIS IRON IS NOT WORTH IT!!!!!! | I purchased this flat iron from Amazon EXACTLY 60 days ago and this morning, when I plugged it in the red light turned on.....when I came back to straighten my hair a little while later, the light was off and the iron was cool. After going to work with frizzy hair I returned home to try it again...no luck. I should have listened to the other negative reviews on this site. The iron is not covered by the warranty because it was purchased from Amazon, not an authorized hair salon! I took my chances when ordering the iron because the price was right....Buyer BEWARE, spend a few more dollars and buy it from a hair salon. Ulta Beauty has the iron for a similar price when it's on sale! Like some other reviewers I think this is a cheaper version of the ones that sell in salons. My daughter has the Paul Brown flat iron and it's been great for over a year! | 3,826 |
1 | Not his best book | Paul Johnson is a writer who I have great respect for and have much enjoyed reading. This is the least successful of the four or five books of his I have read. His attack on the Western Intellectual tradition in the past two hundred years is in certain ways justified. But there are other great intellectual figures he might have taken whose contribution to our understanding of ourselves and the world is useful and great. If you want to write about Intellectuals in the past two hundred years you should write about Isaiah Berlin, Popper, Camus, Kierkegaard, Daniel Bell, Sidney Hook, Whitehead, and a host of other figures whose intellectual contributions were not necessarily diminished by their political positions. | 8,884 |
0 | I expected more... | I'd heard that this book or its sequel had won some awards, so I tried it out with high hopes. Unfortunately, I had to force myself to finish a book overburdened with purple prose, a predictable plot, sudden and often inexplicably-timed explicit sex, and one-dimensional characters who live only for their Eternal Love (or in the case of the villain, for his Eternal Hatred). I wanted to scream at all of them to get a life! To make matters worse, the blurb on the back cover gives away 2/3 of the book's plot. I can say as a positive point that the book did have a solid starting point for its plot with the concept of the immortal witches and how they get to be so.I hope that the author's other books feature well-rounded characters and plot twists, because this book certainly didn't. It will be quite some time before I try another Maggie Shayne book; there are too many other interesting-sounding ones to browse through here on Amazon! | 12,659 |
1 | Are we doomed? :-) | I've known Paul Davies as an exceptional writer of easy-reading scientific books, and this one didn't let me down either. Talking about how the Universe might "end", we learn first how it begun, and then several ways it could just "die"! Davies is extremely full of detail about everything he describes, and all that while not using any technical or hard-to-grasp scientific jargon! However, some of the descriptions do get a little off-hand. Those few were a little too much detail than what I'd expect. Overall though, it's another one of Davies's classics, one that after reading it, you'll be searching for ways to spend your 100 trillion billion years left, before the Cosmos dies in a spectacular (or not!) way. | 23,751 |
1 | Satisfied. Auto swiches well. RF signal to TV is a bit grainy. | My 36 inch Sony TV's video inputs died. This device rescued by TV by letting me feed cable and DVD into the TV's still-working RF input. The device is attractive. The clever little suction cup mounts work well for stable vertical mounting. The auto switching works perfectly. Alas, the RF signal displayed on the TV is a bit static and grainy, but I have a feeling this is a TV issue, and not the fault of the Philips. Recommended. | 23,201 |
1 | Its like I was there | Beth Lambert is a lot like me, and I wish that she was here so that she could be my best friend. I mean she's so much fun to be with, and sometimes I don't like Philip Hall at all. This book was the most fun book I have ever read. I wrote Bette Greene a letter on her website bettegreene.com and she wrote me back. I showed the letter to my classs. | 38,233 |
0 | Pedophile | I am disgusted by this book. Used to be a fan until I read it.Anthony basically endorses pedophilia. To the nth degree.Really, this is the sort of book censorship is made for. | 41,980 |
1 | The wife really likes this one! | A simple "no fuss, no mess" solution for us. When you need a little extra reach to hit the "right spot". | 36,131 |
1 | wearing everyday | Have been wearing a pair of these socks to work everyday since January of 2011. Still great in September of 2012 with the same set of socks. Very very impressed. Elastic still in great shape. Small hole in one sock because I let my big toenail get too long. Thick and cussiony sock well worth the money. And made in Wisconsin, and that makes me feel great!Would give 500 stars instead of 5 if I could! | 28,868 |
0 | Worked fine for two years but.... | I have this dehumidifier, but under the Kenmore brand- but it looks exactly the same. It worked like a charm for about two years, but then suddenly stopped working. From the Sears website (where we bought ours) I discovered that many people had the same experience- after two years the dehumidifier stopped working. My husband has tinkered with it several times- the fan works, we gave the filter and "insides" a thorough cleaning, but the coils ice up and now my husband thinks that the coolant is not properly circulating.Like I said, it worked wonderfully for a while and made a huge difference in our basement, but from what I can gather from Internet searches, it should have had a longer lifespan. | 45,705 |
1 | Treasure Island | In this book I thought that the sentence structure was more complex in most parts. But some of the time the sentences were really basic.The word choice was complex though out the book. some times the words were too complex.the auther did a great job describing all the events that took place. But i thought that the characters needed a little more description. the auther only took a little time at the begining of the book to describe the characters. I don't want to give away the book to much, there on a boat. they get attacked.My opion of the book is that. it's a great book full of edveture. But at some points the book got kinda dull. like in chapter 8 I found my self dozzing off a little. Most of the book i was wide awake for like in chapter 21 the attack. I think this book could be enjoyed by anyone. but i'd say ages 10 and up boy or girl, man or woman(...) | 6,353 |
0 | too tiny to see | My husband wanted this so he could see the outside temp which does work but the projected image is very small. Only way I can see the time is to put my glasses on. | 32,650 |
1 | it's a keeper | i really love this treadmill; it really holds up very well. for me, it was not that difficult to put together, if you read the instructions you should be able to get it sooner rather than later. i have had some people come to use this treadmill that "challenged" the weight limit and it held up wonderfully. it's really a great price and a great piece of machine! | 30,708 |
1 | Chinese checker game | This product is worth what you pay for it. Small hands have a problem controlling the small marbles but otherwise it was fine. | 18,086 |
1 | Glad I Waited for the Package with Both Films in It | Great film. I was going to get these on seperate DVDs & then I thought, "I KNOW they're going to come out with both together, just wait."Besides, enough time has passed since I saw them in the theatre that watching them will be a real pleasure again. Go Go Yubari.... | 39,950 |
