0 | TOO EXPENSIVE | This lamp is 19.99 on Target.com and even less expensive in Ikea. Why is it being sold for so much that's not fair on consumers. | 9,251 |
0 | Wonderful, for a TEXTBOOK, not a NOVEL! | This book did bring me a lot of information about the revolutionary war in the Southeast of United States, tha's a thumb for Mr. Carter. But, Mr. Carter, this book is call a novel is because it merely have characters with misplaced love and dialogues. This book is kind of hard to delve deep in. For history lover, I recommand it, but time-killer, I would say no.The book take place in Southeast of United States, and specifically in the frountiersman social class. Ethan Pratt, the main character, transformed from a careless person to a patriot, and have a position in the revolutionary war. The book also included misplace love, that Espey, Ethan's wife, divorce from him, and he fall in love with his best friend and also neighbor's wife, Mavis. | 42,346 |
0 | Horrible does not adequately describe. | I picked this movie up w/o even reading about it first because I love Gere and Sarandon. I have never been so disappointed. What the movie amounted too was this: Poor rich man makes bad decisions in money and love and pays off everyone to get himself out of it. This story line has been done so many times that its sad Gere and Sarandon wasted their time with it. The only Character I was interested in was Jimmy Grant played by Nate Parker, but only because there was nothing else to be interested in. I can't even relate how poorly this movie was done. Details are bad, acting was bad, story was bad, ending...well that went beyond bad. Please save yourself from wasting your time on this movie. Please, I beg you! | 34,991 |
0 | New formula is not better than before. | I've been using Ciment Anti-Usure for five or six years now. I have fine, thin hair and it was the perfect conditioner for me. It made my hair soft and manageable with no flyaway static problems, even in the dead of winter. I just started using my first bottle of the new formula about a month ago, and I am not a fan. My hair looks limp and greasy, yet I have so much static going on my bangs constantly stick to my face. My natural wave is hardly noticeable with the new formula. | 38,130 |
1 | Great show....even for the price. | Wonderful little series. A sweet love story with a twist of intelligent science fiction. I didn't expect it to be as deep as it was. It is worth watching and buying. But this isn't a mainstream show, so the price won't change much. Is it worth $45... you be the judge. As for me, I'll shop around and if I don't find it cheaper I will buy it here. I also recommend Elfen Lied. An AMAZING short series along the same lines as this. Enjoy. | 33,732 |
1 | Great buy. | I liked the fact that I could get all black ink. In the stores I could only find combo packs. Good price. | 5,046 |
1 | Classic James Garner | A Lost James Garner Classic!The Wheeler Dealers, one of several of his 1950s-60s "con artist" movies between 1950s Maverick and The Rockford Files 1970s Classics!Jim is a Texas Oilman, and his Texas Twang and schemes are priceless! Many great co-stars of the era including Jim Bachus (before Gilligan's Island) and Chill Wills (the voice of Francis The Talking Mule), keep this movie jumping. Great opening & closing Title sequences by The New Christy Minstrels. | 11,474 |
1 | Well balanced | If you have listened to a lot of harpsichord concertos, you will have to agree on the one inescapable characteristic of most recordings: the harpsichord is overbearing, imposing itself, with a harsh discordant jangling getting in the way of your enjoying the music. Not so with this recording. The orchestra and the harpsichord strike a perfect balance. I don't know whether this is a merit of the musicians or the recording engineers, but it sounds wonderful. The main message coming out of the recording is not "here I am, the harpsichord," but "this is the wonderful music of JS Bach." Of course, if you absolutely hate the harpsichord and cannot stand its sound at all, this recording is not for you either, because the harpsichord is still there with all its flavor. In that case try buying one of the piano versions, such as Angela Hewitt's marvelous performance, but that one doesn't have the C minor concerto, which is one of the gems in this recording. | 21,750 |
1 | GOOD SCALE FOR PRICE | This is a very good scale and looks good. The only thing, if you want BMI or Fat percentage, you have to bend down and push two buttons -- which is fine, but they are very small and not real legible so you need to remember which one is you. (has a button for guest too). You can kick it on with your foot and just step on for weight. That's great. But if you are buying this to monitor fat and bmi, then it's not that convenient. | 13,601 |
1 | Buy this before having kids | As an author (50 Things Every Guy Should Know How To Do) and a parent (Joshua, 2 1/2) I was pleasantly surprised by this book. Mr. Wilder not only has an entertaining, engaging writing style, but he is the rare person willing to admit that parenting has its downside. "Daddy Needs a Drink" was honest and refreshing. I highly reccomend it to anyone thinking of having kids or those who already have them because its nice to know that other people feel like this. | 5,733 |
0 | GRAND THEFT PARSONS | THIS MOVIE WAS AN OK COMEDY; NOT REALLY BUYING THIS DVD FOR YOUR COLLECTION. THE STORY LINE IS WEAK AND SOME PARTS I FOUND MYSELF LOST. | 8,437 |
1 | flooring made easy | The Freud 99-036 adjustable tongue and groove set made me a great floor for my shop. Having a large amount of 4/4 an 5/4 white and red oak at my disposal, I decided to lay a new floor in my wood working shop. After joining and planing the lumber and cutting it to uniform widths I routed tongue and grooves in them and laid a new heavy duty floor. after routing several hundred linear feet of flooring they are still sharp and ready to continue cutting for some time to come. I have been very pleased with these bits and would highly recommend them. | 22,953 |
0 | Temperance Brennan is Losing Her Touch | I too have read all of the Temperance Brennan series and I concur that this is the weakest novel of the series. The plot is convoluted, the forensic science is arcane to the point of boredom and, most disappointingly, Temperance and Ryan are little more than stick figures.One of the delights of this series is the alternatively humorous and painful tension which exists between Temperance and her Montreal confreres. That is completely missing here as Temperance and Ryan embark upon a sojurn to Israel which becomes progessively more unrealistic.I hate to say this, but it seems to me that Temperance may have contracted a case of Scarpettaitis - a world where verisimilitude is anathema. I hope that the next volume in this series refocuses on the character of Temperance Brennan.I do not recommend this book. | 49,089 |

1 | Read ALL of Stuart Wilde's books! | If you are a serious THINKER, or just want to improve your thought processes, I highly recommend THIS book as well as ALL of Stuart's books and CD sets. | 23,035 |
1 | Surprisingly Good! Not so sexy, but really funny. | So a friend and I snagged this movie for a guy's night when the girls were out of town. We got it more as a joke than anything else. I was quite surprised by how much I liked it. Not because it was sexy but because it was funny. The main thing this flick has going for it is that it didn't take itself seriously. Ving Rhames, who I always love, did a superb job playing a no BS bodyguard. Burt Reynolds was hilarious. And Demi? Well, she got naked. That's about all I can say for her. The story was hugely predictable, and the acting was pretty bad, but this movie was really funny. There were some great one-liners. The best line of the movie was one of Ving's: "Nico: What are you, nuts?! Shad: Yeah, psycho. Delusions of invincibility combined with a strong homicidal urge. I have a kick-your-ass fetish." Rent it with the guys, drink a few beers, have a few laughs. It's not as bad as you might think. | 38,651 |
1 | caligirl | Boys are using it as I type leaving CA. going to Texas. They are already in Northern Texas and loved this tool. Think I will get 1 for myself. | 3,418 |
0 | No good | I bought this bone at Petco to help my pup keep cool on hot days. Not only did she chew a hole in it in the first few minutes, but it thaws out very fast and is just a soggy dog toy. Because it doesn't stay frozen long in 80 degree weather, it is easier to chew and tear holes in. I am just glad I bought it at half price and didn't waste a ton of money on it.If you are looking for something cool for your pup you are better off giving it an Ice Cube | 29,676 |
0 | The next book... | For the unforgotten chapter in this book, see the reviewer from St. Paul's comments. It this a real review? The reviewer seems to have a lot more insight into the author and his psychotherapist partner than the average reader could have gained from this book. I found the book to be generally dry, and lacking a real connection with the average reader. I do not agree that this is a very insightful book as the reviewer, David, from St. Paul would like you to believe. | 34,071 |
1 | Groundbreaking Greek movie. | I first saw this movie when it opened in NY in the 80's, just watched again on Netflix and after a fast and furious search, found it on Amazon and got it for my personal collection. Based on a real life murder, this film helped rally support for the young murderer from Greeks of all walks of life, including Melina Mercouri. It may hurt today's politically correct gay sensibilities, but the fact is that it broke new ground in terms of Greek cinematography, and opened up a discussion on gays as victims rather than predators. | 11,438 |
0 | great fondue terrible stir fry | I have to agree with the first review. We actually made a fondue first and it worked so well that I could not wait to try a stir fry... What a disappointment: it does not eat enough and the food steams slowly, very slowly... | 43,031 |
0 | Waste of Time | This book was not only boring, but long. Instead of influencing peace in this world, this book influences war between countries in strife (Iran and USA). I personally feel like burning this book--but that is my opinion. | 35,650 |
1 | Great service | I have become a person who have gotten into The Lord of the Ring. The service I recieved was great and the item I ordered came very timely. Thank you | 80 |

1 | Correction on Editor's Note | I am doing my best not to compare Lights + Sounds to Ocean Avenue. Yellowcard does sound much broader on this release, and their musical styhle has grown beautifully. Not all of the songs have stuck to me on the first listen, but I'm sure it will grow on me.But in a comment about the Editor's Note, Ocean Avenue was NOT Yellowcard's debut album. They've had three previously -- Where We Stand, The Underdog, and One for the Kids. The reason many may think Ocean Avenue was their first release is because that is the most well known. I would recommend checking out their other releases, as well. | 12,077 |
0 | The problem/solution is more than a single factor | As a surgeon who is averse to giving patients most medicines ("Heart Frauds" and "Cholesterol Myths" are 2 of my favorite books), I nevertheless reject any uni-factorial "cure" for heart or most other diseases. It's no more appropriate to focus exclusively on homocysteine than on cholesterol. Human health and disease are related to a huge number of factors and we have an inkling of only a few of them. The only unequivocal 'truth' is that lifestyle modifications (Mediterranean-type eating rather than American fast-food and 'diets' + regular exercise [swimming, bicycling] + stress management + no smoking) are the best approaches to longterm health. The quick-fixes that Americans want don't work and are often toxic. | 36,663 |
1 | Classy men's watch | I gave this to my husband as a wedding gift, and he loved it. It is very elegant, classy, "timeless" ;). I had the back engraved which turned out very nice. | 41,966 |
1 | Best Undiscovered Body of Work | Jellyfish's second (and last) album, Spilt Milk ranks (in the writer's opinion) up there with Sgt. Pepper's, Pet Sounds, Dark Side of the Moon, and Boston's first two albums.This is truly an inspired piece.Indeed, the music sounds like Queen, Supertramp, The Beach Boys - and even the Beatles. Perhaps the authors - Sturmer and Manning - were channeling the same intelligence that Brian Wilson and Paul McCartney had years ago.This album can be listened to annually for about a week and stay breathtaking for years.Each time a true music lover hears this album for the first time it is a heavenly experience.This album is a must have. | 40,771 |
0 | decorating with flea market finds | I found nothing but nice pictures to view in this book. I do alot of flea market decorating and there was nothing I could use. Ideas are mentioned in very brief text. A nice coffee table book but not an informative decorating source. | 24,203 |
1 | White sleeves | You may find cheaper sleeves, but these are made with a little heavier paper and have the flap folded for you already. | 24,147 |
1 | Great book! | Great book! Easy read but keep you entertained from cover to cover. I highly recommend this book if you’re taking any statistics class! | 14,563 |
0 | What Happened To The Theme Songs? | I had to force myself to buy this CD because it had the Wrestlemania Theme, and it wasn't even the original. It was all mixed up with superstars saying things. It was nice but put the original song in there before the remixes. And where were the theme songs !! I had to stop at perfects theme because it was a joke to him and wrestling. Sorry, but what a joke of a CD. | 47,864 |
0 | A book for those who cannot think for themselves | This is a cynical attempt at creating a new publishing phenomenon. It is a sad indictment of our current unthinking society that it, like Who Moved My Cheese and the Chicken Soup series, will probably be successful.The minimal substance of this "pamphlet" could have been stated in less than five pages. Don't bother to buy it. | 3,475 |
1 | Love! | I had this exact same bridge for my Brio set growing up! After visits to Grandma's house we finally decided to purchase one along with some of the Brio train sets. Our daughters face lite up the moment she opened it on her birthday and has been playing with it every since. It is very durable, and I know we will be enjoying it in our home for years to come! | 35,056 |
1 | Fantastic Self-Help Tapes | I first bought this set of tapes several years ago at an education seminar and it was a valuable investment. Jack Canfield is caring, understanding, knowledgeable and has a great sense of humor. He comes across as a 'real' person who uses teaching examples from his own life and degrees of self-disclosure that help create a 'trust' atmosphere for the listener. He has a speaking manner that puts you at ease and makes you want to listen to everything he has to say. Self-esteem, self-confidence and relating to other people is who we are every day and he helps improve this with techniques for developing and strengthening our 'inner selves'. I've listened to these tapes every 6 months for the last 7 yrs. and I listen to them whenever I am going through a really stressful time. They are uplifting and healing. | 17,716 |
0 | Bad news. Too bad. When I saw broken plastic pieces in the pepper that made me feel sad. | First one arrived with the handle broken off. Amazon replaced it. Second one seemed OK but did not seem to work well. Then I noticed broken plastic mixed in with the pepper corns. I try to avoid eating plastic even if it is ground up good. I am returning this second one and paying a few more dollars to get a better product. | 39,703 |
1 | Intreaging and heart stopping | Shalom Yoran is a long time frind of my grandparents. I visited him at his hous a few months ago. There i got a signed copy of this book. It is the gretest book i have ever read. This is one book every person in the world should read to learn what the jewish people went through. Find out the truth about the holocaust and what we could have prevented | 42,011 |
1 | A fun film for Star Wars fans | It seems like Fanboys took years to come out...Sometimes when a film is delayed like that it usually means the movie is...Well...Bad.This isn't the case with Fanboys, it's a very fun movie about Star Wars and friendship.The film is set in the late 90's. A group of friends decide to steal a copy of Episode 1 so their terminal friend can see it before he dies.The film has a good message, which is seldom seen in a lot of the recent sex-based comedies. It's about friendship and sticking together.If you're not much of a Star Wars fan this is an alright comedy. If you are a "fanboy," than this is a really nice treat.Thumbs up. | 6,510 |
1 | Caifanes, El Silencio | El tercer disco de la mejor banda del rock en español en la historia. Éste reafirmó el éxito conseguido por los dos anteriores y consolida a Caifanes como la mejor banda del país y de esta parte del mundo, aunque todavía no le da la fama e impulso que después conseguiría con el siguiente álbum.Con canciones clásicas como "Nubes", "No dejes que..." o "Hasta morir" este álbum, al parecer, es mi preferido de esta banda.Es, considero, la punta de su carrera. En este disco participaron Saúl Hernández (voz), Alfonso André (batería), Diego Herrera (teclados), Sabo Romo (bajo) y Alejandro Marcovich (guitarra). Como puedes ver es una de las mejores y más completas alineaciones de Caifanes, nunca más volverían a estar estos músicos en un estudio de grabación para producir una más de sus genialidades.Este disco es totalmente recomendable para todo tipo de público, si te consideras admirador de la música debe estar en tu colección. | 44,424 |
0 | Babylon Ain't Rising Here | What a disappointment. Now we know who did the research and who did the writing with Left Behind. Where are you Jerry!? Oh, yeah; writing "Soon". Come on Mr. Lahaye, if you're going to write a book for a Christian audience, you should treat us with the respect we deserve. The plot lines here are fantastic! The writing is atrocious. Example:A woman with a crushed wind-pipe swallows a pill. Our hero shoots a falcon out of the air with a bow and arrow. A woman stops murderous cult members by screaming a twenty-five hundred year old language at them (what!?), and my favorite, Nebuchadnezzar calls Daniel "Daniel", not Belteshazzar. Helloooo?Get some help, Tim. This has the potential to be a great series, but you need someone to take off the edge. | 24,554 |
1 | Great guide | I purchased this book since we were going to be first time visitors to Disney World and it was very accurate and helpful. The book contains many good suggestions and helped ease our planning. I really think it saved us a lot of time on our trip. (We read it before we left.) Highly recommended to anyone wanting to learn more about visiting Disney World. | 42,038 |
1 | Blood oaths and vengeance | As young boys, Simon Warleigh, Jarrod Maxwell, and Christian Greatham swear a blood oath to avenge the murder of their beloved foster father called The Dragon. But on his return from the crusades, Simon has been falsely accused of treason. The king has issued a decree that Simon must marry the daughter of the very man he has vowed to bring to justice or he will be beheaded. Simon is quickly wed to the beautiful Lady Isabelle, known as the ice maiden. Isabelle has learned throughout her young life to hide her feelings behind a cool exterior but the more Simon is around Isabelle, the more he wishes to melt her heart.I enjoyed this book very much and am looking forward to books about Jarrod and Christian. | 40,480 |
1 | Small Bible Study | We have been studying this for the past few months slowly due to only meeting once a week. We have discovered fascinating new details about some of the women of the Bible that we did not know. While we have found a few discrepancies, they are minor and we talk it out as a group. Overall, we are finding this study to be enlightening and are looking forward to the rest of it. | 42,509 |
1 | Enjoy it for what it is | It's amusing. I don't agree with her on everything she says, and I would hope no one makes any birth choices based on it, but it's interesting to see what another woman went though. | 43,350 |
0 | digital voice recorder pen | This pen keeps falling apart. Also, it is difficult to use the recording part because you have to almost shout to record anything. I am sorry I bought it. | 48,641 |
1 | Boy, it's Genius | This is a fair and thoughtful account of George Bush's ascendency and the GOP takeover of Texas, both masterfully executed by Karl Rove. This is a must read for any political junkie of either political party. Rove comes off as part madman, part genius, part Machiavellian mastermind and also a man of somewhat questionable character. Nonetheless, he decimated the Democratic Party in Texas and concocted the strategy that put a man in the White House who, at the time, was clearly not ready for primetime. I found that I couldn't put the book down, always eager to find out what Rove's next political chess move would be. | 41,474 |
1 | Love it! | Love it! Read some mixed reviews about it, but I find it to be great. Just have to check the water level every three or four days. Motor is effective and very quiet. Works really well for indoor use. Love it! | 36,816 |
0 | Replete with errors | This book is full of errors. Some of the answers are wrong (e.g question 6 on page 80, to add to the instances mentioned by other reviewers). Page 81 features duplicate shapes printed to the right and above the question. I don't think the editing was wrong - I think it wasn't edited at all. There are plenty of alternative books to get, so opt for something else. | 38,858 |
0 | Brilliant prose, disappointing story | As was said of another thriller writer, Thomas Harris writes like a slumming angel, but Hannibal is a disappointment. Hannibal Lecter was the devil himself in Silence; in this he's just human after all. And what happens to Clarice Starling seems so compeltely out of character, I just didn't believe it. I don't understand why Harris chose the most incredible scenario of all for her. It squandered one of the most believable, finely-drawn characters I've seen in modern fiction and reduced her to a mere Bride of Frankenstein. A letdown for me. And dinner with Hannibal again? No thanks. | 35,637 |
0 | I Would Buy This In A Second... | ...if this was given an ACTUAL release. Ever since I bought the excellent Season 1 I have been waiting for the rest to come out. When I saw this I got so excited - until I saw this is DVD-R release. This is exactly why many people opt to download material without paying for it! For over $40 I want an actual product! I hope people will boycott releases like this! | 43,455 |
1 | Captivating, Engaging, Wonderful | Completely captivating and amazing. When I saw the movie I knew nothing about it and I am glad otherwise the plot would have been ruined. So, I won't say anything about the plot.This is a movie that enfolds little by little as the viewer, and the characters, begin to learn what is going on. I simply can't express how much I loved this movie. It was very well done, the story was captivating and the actors' performances were engaging, completely believable and simply superb.The film is very well edited, the camera angles used were essential to getting to know the characters. Everything in this film is amazing. It is one engaging film, from beginning to end.The DVD has very few Special Features. But, be sure to watch the deleted scenes. They are preceded by an interview with the director explaining why each of them was cut out of the film. | 31,791 |
1 | License to Chill | I never really liked Jimmy Buffet, I always thought he was just some old guy who couldn't sing. My nana was the one who got me liking the music, everytime I'd go over there we'd listen to some of his c.d's. Most of his music is about the beach or islands and it helps me relax when listening to one of his songs. This cd is more country though because of the different artists he works with on this cd. I think this cd is the best yet, I haven't heard much of the others but I really like his music. Most people probably wouldn't like him just because he's old, but it helps me relax after a stressful day. I thought I wouldn't like it but I do so I think people should listen to some of the songs and I know they will like it. | 31,284 |
0 | Too disappointed to continue... | I've really enjoyed Ms. Albert's writing both in her Beatrix Potter series and in this China Bayles' series...right up until this book. China has been one of my favorite characters, and I love the whole herb shop/metaphysical shop combo, but I've lost faith and respect in McQuaid for being a lousy cheat, and in China, for being a total idiot in blaming herself for McQuaid's actions, AND what woman in her right mind would befriend the woman her man cheats with, then sit and joke with her about it? Please. Infidelity is a big trigger with me. I had already bought the next four books, but I'm so let down by both of their actions and the casual way they dealt with it, that I'm donating them all to the library without reading them. I won't miss China or McQuaid. They're not the characters I thought they were. | 46,062 |
0 | do not work! | we live in a rural area so every winter a number of mice always manage to get into the house. After two mice this winter, we decided to invest in two pest a cators, one for upstairs and one for our basement. Well, after having plugged them in for 3 weeks, we got another mouse in the house yesterday. It was quickly removed with a mouse trap. Please do not waste your money on these! | 1,499 |
1 | Nature's Cures: From Acupressure and Aromatherapy | Very good health book to keep around the house. It is a well recommended book. I advise that you purchase one for yourself. | 35,015 |
1 | Wonderful book | If you want the vintage country this is the book to own! It's not the so-called country you hear now...it's the 'real' stuff. | 15,269 |
0 | Make it stop! | Ugh. This was one of the first rally racers and I had the misfortune to spend... I still kick myself! This game is so bad, I don't know where to begin. Let's see: The graphics are blurry and indistinct. The physics are awful, you bump into something, and no matter how fast you are going, you go backwards 15 feet and do this little hop into the air. It's pretty funny. There's only 3 tracks and 10 cars. The "co-pilot" is annoying, you can't understand what he says, and you can't turn him off. So, in essence, buy _anything_ else, leave this game where it belongs, on the shelf. | 34,500 |
0 | To Self Proclaimed Music Man 689. | Wow. Someone took my review a little personally. Difference of oppinion is the fabric of America. Don't be so insecure, and please don't bore me with your personal oppinions about me. I just didn't happen to like the CD. Big deal. After reviewing your reviews, it's pretty obvious that you don't have a very diverse oppinion about anything, but that's o.k. You can look up diverse in the dictionary. 99% alternative. For the record, I did listen to it. Unlike yourself, I wasn't trying to be cool by dogging it. Just that comment tells me that you're young and immature. Don't take things so personally. What did you do, sleep with the band? Maybe you can discuss it at your next therapy appointment. Relax, you'll be o.k. and everything is fine. | 15,040 |
1 | Great Sound for the Price | The Aiwa NSX-D30 is a good system for the price. I would have liked a beefier bass (there are three pre-settings for treble and bass) but over-all the 'control panel' is intuitive and easy to use. I especially like the volume control--a dial that turns up and down (sometimes old-fashioned & simple is best)! The double cassette decks, which open at a subtle touch to the corner, means one can record from one tape to another or from one of 3-CD R/RW and AM/FM radio. A snap to set-up. The design leaves much to be desired--a robotic,metallic on-steroids look--but as a package, great sound for a reasonabl price. | 21,894 |
0 | An Awful Movie | They Shoot Horses, Don't They? is an awful film. It is about as interesting as watching water boil. It is also unhistorical in that the 1930's are depicted as a time of prosperity even though in real life that was the decade of the Great Depression.There is no real depth to the plot. Nor is there anything exceptional about either the direction, photography or the soundtrack. Jane Fonda is badly miscast in this role and she delivers her lines poorly. None of the performances in this movie are especially good.In sum, this is a movie to avoid. | 984 |
0 | Sound ok, but headphones too tight | I liked the quality of construction and materials and having the shorter attached cord for use with an iPod plus the extension for use with the amplifier was nice. Sound in the mid and upper registers was nice - smooth and spacious - but the lower register was muddy and reverberant. The biggest problem was the tightness of the headband. After 30 minutes, my ears hurt! I had read about this in other reviews, but since I have a small head I thought this would not be a problem. It was! | 13,804 |
0 | Think before you buy this.... | My 3 year old daughter has had this toy for a total of 5 days and we are already having problems. The batteries already need replaced, the cover to the crayon compartment will not stay on and the top purple plastic cover for the coloring pages keeps coming off the hinges and she cannot get it back on without help. Also, she was colring the letter "c" and the pad was telling her about the letter "u". Last but not least the storage in the back is not too great because one false move and everything falls out. Great concept but this toy is going back to the store tomorrow. | 8,679 |
0 | Ho Hum | If you like to pay real money to listen to the same over-played pop hits you've heard so many times that you don't really even hear them anymore, go ahead and buy this disc. The more interesting, seldom-heard songs in the movie aren't on this disc, so let others waste their money on it.

0 | A game that just have is for posing only. | This is a joke! This game is not wrestling! This game is for posing shows only & do you even know what they do in this game besides uh, wrestling? They pose, pose, pose, pose, & pose all the damngone time! No matter if you watch CPU's wrestle or you play against them they'll only pose at you & not even fight! Vince & his company gangsta's THQ made this game for kid's sideshows only, don't get it. | 7,572 |
0 | Somewhat of a disappointment for me | I enjoyed Ray Garton's books in the past, but I fell out of favor with this one. Why? you ask. Well, to start, it seems like a trendy move. Frank E. Peretti comes to mind. There exists many novels of Xian suspense/thrillers on the market, and to be frank, this book seems to fall in line with the rest of them. Ray Garton is a good writer, no doubt about it . . . but Dark Channel is too lengthy and riddled with misconceptions on the New Age movement. I'm not a fan of New Age Fluff myself, but I can't imagine that Bael or the Dark One himself is behind it all. True, some the characters are well-written, but with names like "Jordan Cross" I felt I was reading a publication by Zondervan. Where's the fire? The macabre satire? The irreligious sentiment? The depth and religious turmoil? Not much can be found here. The whole effort seems to be half-hearted and exhausting. | 44,055 |
1 | What about that killer? | This was a great episode, as always...but what ever happened to the creep from "the crack in the code"? When is he going to pop back up or did everyone just forget all about that one? I keep watching each week, hoping they will continue with the story, at least a little something here & there (like they did with gormagon), but it seems to have just been dropped. Whats up with that? Was that just supposed to be "the one that got away with murder"? | 9,513 |
0 | Don't waste your money | As an expert computer user, (started with DOS) I would have to say that this is the worst piece of junk conceived by man. I would give it zero stars if I could. DO NOT down grade your computer with this junk. You will pull your hair out installing it. It will crash. It is much slower than XP. It takes forever to boot. And You Will Be Sorry!!!!!!!! Bill gates will laugh all the way to the bank with your money. The clowns in Redmond WA finally drove me to buy a MAC, and I could not be more pleased with OS X. I hope that this is the beginning of the end for Microjunk. | 29,745 |
0 | #T-97 1,2,& 3 qt pots | I have had the above for only two years and am not happy. The main issue are the handles,they always loosen and at this point i am ready to toss the out the window, very frustrating. I thought Faberware was considered the best, years ago i owned Revere Ware and never had a problem, replacing them would make me very happy as i am afraid one day the handles might loosen to the point where i drop them and then it would be a dangerous situation. | 31,977 |
1 | Great Book | I absoultly loved this book. I couldn't put this book down. Sharon Creech is a really great author. | 41,829 |
0 | Save your money | After reading all of the positive reveiws and only a few negative ones I purchased this humidifier back in Dec. Well here it is early Feb and this thing just plain sucks. I have a digital humidistat sitting right next to it in a med size room (13x13) and it never reaches higher that 29%. In the dry months of winter 29% is unacceptable, and my eyes nose and throat would agree. So don't do what I did, and save your money. Or if you must try it, just be prepared to send it back or donate it to goodwill. Enjoy. | 11,461 |
0 | Boring&I couldn't wait until it was over | Grant&Bullock are two of the Most Run of Mill Actors&Actress's in the Business going around&this Film was like a low-Budget "When Harry Met Sally"Clone without any luster what so ever.this Film was just kind of there.I was Bored Beyond belief. | 36,906 |
1 | Wonderful! | I got these within the specified shipping time & in packaging that kept them very secure so they would not get damaged.Seriously sped up my computers start-up time & improved game play. I can now run multiple apps & games with no significant slow downs! | 2,601 |
0 | It works as advertised | It looks sturdy.I used it so far on 2 big cheese rolls(each ~6lbs) and still looking good. a cheaper alternative to a powered slicer.Update 5/18/2012: I used it so far for a total of 4 rolls each between 2lbs and 6lbs times on Mozzarella and provolone, and here how it looks:The plastic handle did not break, but the string is loose, does not cut any more, it's basically useless. I just threw $5, and which I understand; I cannot expect a lot from a $5 device, and I'm on the look again for a good cheese slicer. | 39,720 |
0 | The breakout comedy of 1981 | I you are looking for thrills an chills in the form of a killer shark see a Jaws movie, Deep Blue Sea, Open Water The Reef or even Shark Night. If you want to see a blatant rip-off of one of the best movies of all time with horrible acting and worse SFX, this is the movie for you. Words can not accurately convey the depth of this cinematic train-wreck. You have to see it to believe it! | 46,519 |
1 | a must! | If you have a headset this lifter is a must! Works great! The only issue I have is that when I remove my headset from the base, the lifter does not automatically raise the phone piece. When trying to answer a call, this is annoying. | 44,230 |
0 | CRAP | my fault for not checking the reviews of this jacket in different sizes. i'm a medium. i wear a size 40 jacket and that's what i ordered, based on the size chart. what i got was not even close to what i was expecting. the jacket is ill fitting (i'd bet it still fits poorly in the right size) and oddly shaped. it doesn't have the seams and lines of a traditional denim jacket. i could have got a better jacket for $12.99 at Walgreen's. since the cost of returning the jacket was half the cost of the jacket and more than the jacket is probably worth, it basically went from the shipping box to the trash bin. my advice? spring for a trusted brand. | 15,231 |
0 | Too light, too thin | This book is too thin and fluffy. I managed to get through a few chapters, skipped to the middle, and then gave up. It contains the same standard stories I hear about every day. If it wrapped up uncommon stories, even if they were common sense, it would have some value. Boil it down to a checklist for your operating officer and webmaster, and you'd have it all. | 9,411 |
1 | Better than Schindler's List | If one movie had to be picked as best for describing the horror of the holocaust, this is it. Schindler's List was mainly from the perspective of Schindler and, by all means, it was a very good story too. However, "Life is Beautiful" is from the perspective of a Jewish man. A man who is portrayed to be ordinary in many respects and even a natural clown to some degree, but you eventually realize that this man is no 'clown' when it comes to what is most important to him. Benigni uses a device at the very end of the movie that leaves you with no doubt of what that is for him and should be for all of us; love. ... | 38,338 |
1 | Great for complete beginners to Linux, | This title, as it suggests, is great for the complete newcomer to Red Hat Linux, and it focuses on those migrating from Windows operating systems. It teaches basic commands to navigate and very basically run a personal RH Linux machine.DON'T buy this book looking for a resource that will show you how to administer a Linux machine. DON'T buy this book looking for a resource that will show you how to set up a Web/e-mail/FTP/SSH, etc. server.DO buy this book if you have never really used a Linux machine, and are looking for an introduction. DO buy this book if you are sick of Windows and are looking around to see what other opportunities are available.Once again, this book serves as an excellent resource for beginning Linux, but don't expect it to offer any more than that. | 42,980 |
0 | NOT FOR KIDS - Questionable Language and Moral | The language used in this book has a lot to be desired, especially for a book being read by children. My thirteen year-old son started reading it for school. He realized it was not something he should be reading and alerted me. I then read the book and totally agree!Also, the outcome of the story teaches kids that it is okay to cheat if you get away with it:For three years of high school, Simon and his friends cheat by accesssing exams on the school's computer. The authorities suspect Simon until it is found that a teacher is allowing football players access to the school's computers using his password. The football players view pornography on the internet and the teacher gets in trouble for permitting it. Since these students had access to school information through the computers there is no way of finding out who was actually accessing and printing the tests. Simon and his friends get off the hook and are never caught. | 47,586 |
0 | POOR QUALITY | We packed this cooler about 3/4 full of drinks and ice, and the FIRST time I picked it up to load it in the truck, the screws holding the hanle pulled out.Won't be buying any Igloo coolers any moore. | 4,980 |
0 | Worse Than I Expected | Wwow..what a dud! I didn't have high hopes for this one. The trailer looked like this would be a movie with a few laughs. This movie sucked. There was nothing to it. The potetnial was there but it fell flat. Neither Butler or Aniston were funny or made the movie work. the idea that they got involved in a police investigation and the activities that followed were just ridiculous. Characters were stupid. Certainly not a comedy.What a waste of time. | 41,820 |
1 | closure | I loved "Christy" TV series, and wanted some closure at the end of the last episode. I watched "Change of seasons" first, and I have to admit I was disappointed by some characters' (esp.preacher's) acting. Then I read some reviews about "The new beginning" and decided to watch it. I thought that it was much better than "Change of seasons":there were more scenes with Christy and Dr., and the ending was satisfying. I just wish that TV series made one more episode with all original actors where all loose ends were tied... | 13,400 |
1 | I like the actor | I like this style om movie. I have several movies with tis actor. This DVD is one that did what I wanted and is a good buy. | 2,864 |
1 | Excellent choice | This book arrived in excellent condition - I am very pleased with this book. No marks, folds, writing - just perfect. | 30,938 |
1 | Awesome | This was the first Stuart Woods book I ever read, back in the 90's and I just finished reading it again, with the new cover, and I still think it's a great book. :) | 40,278 |
0 | Great series, terrible reissue | Lexx is a great innovative Sci-fi series, thus my one star review reflects the lousy effort by Echo Bridge Home Entertainment. The image transfer of this new edition is awful and the discs aren't even numbered. Do yourself a favor and try to find the original editions. | 6,920 |
1 | This is a keeper | Heard an EW&F song on the radio and decided to look for a Greatest Hits collection. Thank you to other reviewers who led me to this CD. Packed well and arrived in a timely manner. | 15,243 |
1 | It works | My onboard video became unstable so I needed an add on card just to see anything. It works. You already know not to expect mind-blowing graphics. If you just need a video card without any extras, it does the job. Worth the money, get it. | 16,867 |
1 | Very entertainng | Could not put this book down. One of her better books. I would definitely recommend this book if you are new to Tess Gerritsen or if you are a fan. | 20,740 |
1 | Twenty years later | Bought this when it came out in 1983. Now, twenty years later, it's still amazingly enjoyable. Back then, when almost nobody had heard of Compact Discs, I'd blow their minds and their socks off with this disc. Today I listened to it for the first time in years and it's such an odd, interesting, creative batch of sound effects, songs, and experimental stuff -- not to mention some good sound-system-checking material. There's real music here and all kinds of other bizarre and interesting things. And it's not skimpy on quantity either. A true original, a true digital antique, and still great! | 43,206 |

0 | Beware of secondary sellers... | I purchased two 8-packs of AA Energizer Lithium from a supplier named "Best Deal Supply" out of Brooklyn, NY. What I received was a plastic tray containing 16 batteries (the right number). But this tray was not sealed and it was capable of holding 20 batteries total. So I have no inkling whatsoever whether the 16 batteries I received were brand new or were partly used or some were new and some were used or what the case might have been. As far as I can tell, these were 16 partially-used batteries and I have no way of telling whether any of them are carrying a full charge or not (short of purchasing some sort of tester and trying them all out). Ordinarily everything I order through Amazon is beyond reproach. But this shakes my confidence a bit. I would recommend avoiding this seller. | 16,319 |
0 | Not Great! | This workout is supposed to be for beginners, but how is a beginner supposed to follow instructions that can barely be heard over the music! There are some slightly fancy moves that change regularly but it is difficult to follow when I can barely heard the instructors cues. I understand that some people like the music but I'm doing aerobics for the exercise not for the music.I also think that a beginners workout should have a little more explaination of the moves.All in all, it's probably a good workout but I spent most of the time trying to figure out what was going on and trying to catch up because I couldn't hear her saying what was coming next. Plus she doesn't give much forewarning that a change is coming, but I think that after doing the workout a few times most people will be able to figure it out. | 37,839 |
0 | Horrifyingly Bad Video Quality | Very disappointing. The video quality of this DVD is very bad. There is lots of pixelation. I really hope there is a better option out there for DVD purchase or download. | 22,416 |
1 | Give it a few listens. | All right I admit it I'm a HUGE Orbital fan. I eagerly awaited this new release from the brothers and when I first spun it I was a little disappointed by it. Sure there's the Dr, Who theme (I've been waiting for that one for forever) and Melt down kicks a** but something was missing. I gave it some time though and can say I have really grown to like it! I like "Pay per View's" samples and "Funny Break" is just plain cool.Again, it's not the best album but give it a try! You'll like it, eventually!! | 4,208 |
0 | Returning this toy | We bought this toy for our daughters 8th bithday. She was so excited. We put in 4D batteries. They lasted about 3 min. So we went on a search for an outlet adapter. The company will sell it to you for an additional $16.00. Radio shack doesn't have the right adapter. Another electronics store had the right adapter, but said the company made it a very hard size to find. Then after all of that the wheel stalled and hasen't worked since. So to rate this toy for fun would be hard to do. We haven't even gotten started and the machine is unworkable. | 2,117 |
1 | It Works! | I have used this product and it really does work. The little black ants are back to visit and I decided to try it on them. I sprayed around the window where they were coming in and underneath the kitchen sink cupboard. Knockout works on those little buggers too (stopped them in their tracks). I sprayed some in the bathroom because they relocated there and it seems to have worked there. Just wipe up the leftover but make sure you get it in the crevices. I don't know how many of you have problems with those stinky little ants, but I will continue to use it on my carpets, furniture, and whereever else I need it. It kills the fleas and the ants. I am a happy camper. | 17,404 |
0 | , | This is the that wrote a song asking about "were do monsters go to pee?" 6000 years of human civilization and this is the best they can come up with. | 9,739 |
1 | Inspiration, good advice, lots of laughs | This book helped me a lot. I've been paddling a plastic 16-foot kayak for two years and felt I was ready to advance in the sport. Reading Glickman's book was the next best thing to knowing a really experienced paddler who is happy to answer all your questions - including those you don't know enough to ask. When he listed the common mistakes paddlers make in the forward stroke, he could have been talking about me. I followed his advice and saw immediate improvement. The chapter on choosing a kayak was invaluable, and will save me a lot of money and time when I'm ready to upgrade. Glickman's stories of the trials and tribulations of his epic wilderness paddles were alternately inspiring and very funny. If you love kayaking - or think you might - you'll devour this book. | 17,910 |
