1 | Love this version and casting of this book! | A&E did taek some liberties with the book but only for the better!! The casting was more believable and realisitic compared to the Jane Seymour farce version. I had seen the A&E version originally on TV and was thrilled to obtain the set for my own personal viewing. I have watched it repeatedly!!! BRAVO!! | 14,225 |
1 | Lightweight and affordable | Aluminum stock pot. I used it for home brewing with propane (outdoors of course) and it worked like a charm. Great for a brewer on a budget. | 49,319 |
0 | in reply to an above comment | "other favorites are track two which suprised me at how good it was considering it was a remake of an Elton John song"i find it hard to swallow that someone has said that. Elton John is one of the greatest musicians ever to step foot on this planet and your pretty much saying there that nickelback are better. grow a brain! | 44,586 |
0 | DON'T BOTHER | I HAVE THIS VACUUM AND I WASTED MY MONEY. DO NOT WASTE YOURS. IT WILL HARDLY PICK UP ANYTHING. DO NOT BUY. | 4,749 |
1 | Necessities | As a Physical Education teacher and coach, this product is a must. It was nice to find them at an affordable price on Amazon. Thanks for a great deal! | 17,544 |
0 | misleading age | I bought this toy for my daughter when she was 6 months she did not care for it. She is now 13 months and all she wants to do is turn the pages which she is curling the corners on. I would not buy this for a child under the age of 2. | 49,007 |
0 | Geez, a big disappointment! | After the furious "Rock For Light," this album was a MAJOR disappointment! The hardcore tempo that swept the listener through RFL is *gone*, replaced by a standard sludgy metal boom-boom-boom. Dr. Know's jazz-influenced guitar is also *gone,* replaced by lazy constant soloing over a 1/2-time rhythm section. "I Against I," "Let Me Help," "House of Suffering" and "Return to Heaven" certainly have their moments, but by and large, the album is self-indulgent and a betrayal of hardcore fans. | 11,709 |
1 | An Ordinary Unforgettable Day | The House on Eccles Road pulls off a small miracle. It's the story of one anniversary day in a troubled long term marriage--a day filled with recognizable "petty offenses" by the couple against one another, and with the possibility of reconciliation. It's realistic. It's also written in a fluid internal style, ranging from character to character, and centering on one woman's longings. It's colored by sadness and memory but brilliantly intense about the present. It's a passionate, lyrical book. And for those who can recognize this, it plays off amazingly against James Joyce's mammoth Ulysses, answering that mammoth mythic masterpiece with a woman's point of view, a woman's feelings, a woman's truth. It is a moving book, maybe unforgettable. | 19,338 |
0 | Pretty Good... If You Don't Like Hearing Bass | For the price, these are not bad. That being said, they really aren't a good choice if they are to be your primary headphones.The Good: Crisp sound. Nice long cord.The Bad: Very little bass comes through on these. Are not ideal for use while exercising as they are prone to fall out.My thinking was that for about five bucks, you couldn't go wrong. Now that I have them, I wouldn't say I've gone wrong by getting them, but I wouldn't buy them again nor would I recommend them for regular music use. If you are going to use them with a Nintendo DS or AM Radio, these would probably be fine. Beyond that, pony up a few more bucks for something better. | 24,091 |
0 | Young Mr. Lincoln | I wish I would have known this DVD had Korean subtitles. I would not have bought it. | 40,146 |
1 | Half a collection. | The Smiths are an amazing band, these are incredible songs, and this is a decent collection. I had this once, and always felt like I was missing something, and that was "Volume 2". These 14 songs are wonderful again, but if you don't get "Volume 2" with it, skip it. For one-stop shopping, I might suggest "Singles", which is 18 tracks on one disc, and more bang for your buck. If money is no factor, get the remastered import "Very Best Of", which is 23 tracks. I'd even recommend the 24 track "Louder Than Bombs" disc, though that's short a few essential songs. Obviously you have many choices, but only 14 Smiths songs isn't a good one. | 35,050 |
1 | Excellent! A Book That Every Christian MUST Read!! | TREMENDOUS SPIRITUAL INSIGHT OF THE WRITER! I am sorry to admit that there are just a few christian writers like J. Oswald Sanders in these days, and believe me, I read a lot! J. Oswald Sanders describes a Christian life lived in the Holiness of God, living the victoriuos Spiritual life written both in Joshua and Ephesians. If every christian would experience the spiritual life described in this book, the world would be completely different...but at least, we must try hard individually to go deep in our relationship with Jesus Christ for others to see what God is able to do in our hearts. | 44,115 |
0 | Mad | I ordered da candle set when I received it the plate was chipped and da candle look like it had been dropped,it's up in da closet now | 46,894 |
1 | Apothecary Cabinet | This company was great to work with. I ordered the item at the beginning of December as a gift and it arrived damaged on a Friday approximately a week before Christmas. I immediately contacted the company the next business day and was sent a new cabinet in time for Christmas. My only concern was the lack of notice that a replacement product was arriving, as promised by their customer service representative. I have not purchased from this company before but would do so again in the future. Thanks! | 18,511 |
1 | A lot of pages | I like short to the point books. I bought this with the use of a body back buddy. I don't know if I will be able to read every page, but there is a lot of good info in this book. To me some of it is obvious, but then again a lot of it is new info. I think it was worth the money. And glad I got it. | 37,619 |
0 | Does not really capture audio aspects of a pine forest. | I was looking forward to hearing the numerous species of birds and insects typical of this ecosystem. Instead, it sounds like they just recorded the wind somewhere. The creatures are few and far between. | 44,398 |
1 | The gold standard | This book is an indispensible source of straightforward description of qualitative MO theory for any organic, organometallic, coordination, or materials chemist who uses MO theory. As a professor, I use it for my graduate class in inorganic chemistry regularly. | 23,585 |
1 | New Perspective | I started out being a little disappointed with the film, but as I sat through it with my daughter (who is 25), who had never read this book in the series, I could tell by her reactions that she was not only enthralled, but well able to keep up with the important points of the story. The dementors actually affected her very appropriately, and we're talking about a serious horror genre junkie, here.I loved the new set, and having lived in England at one time, found the darkness, the heaviness of stone, and the dreary light very suitable and realistic. I also found the landscapes and village scenes wonderful as well.Considering the length and complexity of this book, I thought the director did a good job of pressing in the important highlights while still keeping it under 4 hours. That should be more incentive for the disgruntled to go back and read the book again for sheer enjoyment of the story. | 34,411 |
1 | A great album | Again, as Low was, half of "Heroes" is insrumental. But unfortunately, whereas the instrumentals on Low keep getting better and better on repeated listenings, those on "Heroes" lose their strenght very quickly. They're just not as layered and tend to become a bit boring over time. It's a shame 'cause the vocal tracks on "Heroes" are quite simply the best Bowie has ever recorded. A great deal of that is due to the guitar work of Robert Fripp; the man is absolutely amazing. I mean, even without him shredding his way through the songs, they would still be great, but he really takes things to another level. Add the two sides togheter and you still have a great album. | 36,554 |
1 | Up to the Dummies standard | Clear and concise writing.Too bad that CF is dying in the marketplace.If you need to get started with CF, this is an excellent choice even though it refers to an older version. | 29,935 |
0 | Really tiny earrings! | I had read reviews discussing how tiny these earrings are, but was still surprised when I opened them. I would almost say the size is more appropriate for a child, but the design would not be appropriate for a child. They are made well, pretty, but know that these are really tiny earrings. | 5,342 |
1 | Excellent | It is rare to find a film as good as the book upon which it was based, but "Serpico" is just that. The screenplay is an excellent adaptation of Peter Maas' outstanding book. Al Pacino shines in the title role, one of his best ever. This film is gritty, hard-hitting, and thoroughly entertaining, and as the viewer from Atlanta noted, the soundtrack is superb. | 49,686 |
1 | apple 80gb ipod | Prompt delivery. Item was as stated. Sent to relative stationed in Iraq. He is very pleased with product. | 22,613 |
0 | Please don't gossip about Madonna!!!! | It would be so wrong to gossip about anyone. That's the message I got from this book. And so, I won't say anything about the sex book Madonna put out (!!!) in the '90s. And I won't utter a word about the kiss she exchanged with Britanny Spears on national television. And I won't talk about what a hypocrite she is to go from the masochism maven to every toddler's friend | 32,251 |
0 | Oh Dear! | I know I can blame nobody but myself, but I was taken in by the interesting title and the reviews on the back: 'One of the few world-class British writers alive today. This is club class Ballard. You really have to buy it.' Let me tell you, you don't. The 'plot' was completely ridiculous and far-fetched - people are bored so let's set their houses on fire and steal their possessions, then they'll all want to star in porn films and play tennis! Hmmm, logical eh? Not only that, but the dialogue was appalling - I'm yet to meet anyone who talks like the characters in this book, and if I did I would probably tell them to shut up immediately.The back cover also tells me that this was shortlisted for the 1996 Whitbread Novel Award. I can only assume that my book had the wrong cover.This is my first (and last) Ballard novel and I could list you a great many better British writers than him. Save your money. (It gets one star for the reflective cover). | 41,450 |
1 | 60 minutes | A good look into the US Army and its roll in the war in Iraq and the roll of United States Central Command. | 40,702 |
0 | Just look at the reviews | Sometimes people just have different experiences with products. They'll get a faulty TV when most other people have no problems. But at the time I write this review this product has a 2 1/2 star rating after 152 reviews. That should tell you enough. You MIGHT get a decent one, but the odds are this product will quickly develop a leak that seems to come from every seam in the product. I was one of the ones who thought it was just the odd one I got, so I tried it again and it developed a leak even quicker (within a couple of months). I'll be looking elsewhere for a faucet water purifier. | 23,223 |
0 | Waste of money | The story line wasn't bad, but the movie itself was a tad boring and difficult to watch, wouldn't recommend this movie and prob won't watch it again. You get what you pay for with this film. | 24,056 |
0 | this thing stinks for longer newborns | I read the reviews for this seat and thought it would be useful for my baby. When she arrived she was 21 1/2", then quickly grew to 24 1/2" within 2 months. Her active little legs hit the music box. And since the blanket is attached on the bottom, and not matter how tucked in you make them, those legs make it a constant nuisance to hover to make sure she's covered. Also, she never looked comfortable in this seat- it was way too high and flat of a seat that you hovered to see if she was going to tip over. I didn't want to add blankets to the top to keep her supported since thats dangerous in itself. We do have the matching swing- which is a Godsend with its giant bowl seat, but this thing isn't worth the money. | 5,761 |
1 | Happy with the purchase | Ordered quantity of two... I like both, although they are slightly different... one has an embedded tube of, what I assume to be, Holy Water... which was not in the product description... I view that as a little bonus... but could have been an issue if I were buying these as gifts for children (bothers / sisters) as the two items are a bit different... at any rate, I'm very happy with the products - Vivat Jesus | 38,530 |
1 | Love the Ideas!! | The ideas in this book are great! They are some we have all thought of but have never really used because we weren't sure exactly how! This shows you how step by step! | 7,643 |
1 | Illustrations worth the price alone | This is an overview of British horror films. Yet the subject is much wider than just horror; that is unless you consider "The Giant Behemoth" and "Fire Maidens From Outer Space" horror. In all, there are approximately, 400 films (an eight page Filmography) mentioned in this book.It is well organized in like subject matter with several sections on Hammer films. It even comes with a warning that there is adult material; this is probably due to body and body parts being uncovered.This is not just another pretty picture book as Andy Boot goes into many descriptive comparisons that go beyond the juicy facts. | 38,782 |
0 | Did not work | I bought a cheap student violin to practice fixing violins. The pegs were creaky so I threw the peg drops into the cart while buying Dominant strings and a Baggs pickup. After soaking into the pegs for a week, the product did not make them turn easier or tune better. In fact, the pegs were even creakier and the "A" peg got stuck. Back to the soap and chalk method for me. | 10,758 |
0 | Viewer's drunkeness may make this movie lucid or interesting | This movie unconscionably wastes the ability of several fine actors. The script is negligible at best. No clear delineation is made whether this is a dreamscape or reality. Full of unexplained tangents that are often abandoned without explanation, this could have been a very interesting film. Even a hardcore Natasha Richardson or Gabriel Bryne fan will be hard pressed to watch this disaster more than once. RENT it and watch before wasting your money buying. | 14,046 |
1 | Microsoft Office Word 2003 Inside Out (Microsoft Office Word Inside Out) | Great book if you want to learn Word 2003 (which many offices are still using) on your own. Colorful and eyecatching to keep your attention. It will even help you if Word 2007 is used where you work. | 25,679 |
0 | SONGS ARE THE PROBLEM, BAD PRODUCTION DOESN'T HELP | The bottom line is that the songs just aren't there on this new CD. Although some maybe catchy (hero, inbetween), others have absolutely ZERO relevance to the average listener (supergig, television, the F word). Looks like the band has fallen into the trap of writing about how difficult life is to be a rockstar, and collect the money that goes along with it. Come on guys, how bad do you think we are going to feel for your pain of stardom?? With the "big name" producers on this record, I'm surprised at the sub-standard quality of the production (at a nice cost I'm sure). Like the first single for radio, hero, this disc won't have much time in my player. My summary is that there are many other bands doing WAY MORE with this tired genre. | 33,390 |
1 | Armageddon | The movie Armageddon is about a group of NASA trained astronauts who have to go on a dangerous mission to help save the world. They have to venture out into space so they can land on an asteroid the size of Texas. Their mission is to drill a very large hole so they can blow it up before it reaches Earth. But no only does it have alot of action it also is a serious tear jerker. It made me cry at least 4 different times. The sad parts don't over throw the humorous parts. Althought the whole story plot may be a bit of a stretch the graphics and actors help to make it more believable. Bruce Willis as in all of his other movies was top notch and awesome' while Ben Affleck wasn't at his best. The soundtrack also kept your foot taping, some songs by Aerosmith. This is by far my absolute favorite movie; it is timeless and will keep making people awe for years. | 47,891 |
0 | Walking with Bilbo | This seems to be the companion to [or the other way around] "Walking with Frodo" and again I find Sarah Arthur too dogmatic about the approach to a devotional journey. She doesn't allow one think outside the box on this trek. | 6,634 |
0 | Bad connectors | All the 'snake' types of interconnects from AudioQuest that I have used have broken. The solder job on the connectors is very weak and seems to wear out quickly. This has happened to me consistently with both the Diamondbacks and the Copperheads (no longer made). Email to AQ goes unanswered. | 49,418 |
1 | Great book | This book is one of my favorite. It does a good job of showing that God's general revelation to man exists in many cultures independently. The evidence is compelling. My conclusion is that the notion and understanding of God is something that transcends culture in general. It must not be the case that the notion of a monotheistic God developed out of any single culture, but rather is shown to exist in many independent cultures. Now, God's special revelation seems to have been communicated through a specific culture(s). However, God's general revelation seems to be independent of culture, which is what we would expect from the reality of God. The evidence tells me that God isn't something made up in our minds. Rather, God is a reality that has an affect on our minds and being. This is consistent with a God that transcends culture. | 963 |
1 | Outstanding | This book is fabulous. I highly recommend it for anyone interested in successfull implementation of Six Sigma. | 31,163 |
0 | Just an overview of the process | Bought this book as i plan to start building a small cabin this fall or next spring. I have read much of the building portion of the book (other portions are repair and furniture construction) and even though i am not much of a "follow the manual" kind of guy - this book leaves much to be desired in the way of detail. While I know next to nothing about building cabins - this book has taught me very little that is new. So i am seeking a more comprehensive book and may end up returning this one. Or I may just get started and research each phase of construction as I go. | 49,805 |
0 | The most dead-on correct view of over 300 reviews here is the african-not-necessarily-meaning-black one | Loewen is purely guilty of taking everything about the continent of Africa and wrongly presuming it all 100% relates to black people.Maybe he didn't actually know the dna studies of people like Egyptians or Libyans shows them to be more akin to white middle-eastern folks than sub-saharan african ones but he more for sure knew of a fanatical Libyan leader named Khadafi! Was Khadafi anywhere near as black-skinned as, say, Sydney Poitier, Loewen? No the native born-Libyan wasn't in the slightest! In fact Libyan-born Khadafi was quite southern-European looking. So yes the book is certainly and deliberately somewhat garbagy just for the overplay by the author on the subject of africans-are-always-black-people. Thank you to the reviewer who pointed this out previously. You have by far the best take on the worst thing about this book and it's author. | 27,217 |
0 | Might make a good B horror flick | This novel is pure cheese. I picked it up at the library today because it looked like one of those quick, entertaining novels. Well, it is definitely entertaining. It's horribly written, of course, a ten-year-old could probably write better dialogue than this, but that's why I say it would make a good B movie. If you love cheesy horror films, then you could probably enjoy this book. But if you want a "masterpiece," read Stephen King or Anne Rice or something, cause this definitely isn't one. | 27,811 |
0 | Horrible Writing, not nearly as good as Band of Brothers | Really disappointing. Nothing like Band of Brothers. Great production value, but just no story, bad writing, and characters I didn't care about. Really didn't even want to finish watching it. Sold mine back on Amazon | 12,539 |
1 | Gets the job done! | I am using this USB hub to connect 3 printers to an Airport to print over WiFi and it's working just fine! | 5,768 |
1 | Fun Fun Fun! | I purchased this for my cousin and she loves it. Maybe since she is such a Spongebob fan, it provided greater appeal. Always good to have some board games around during those family events. | 40,812 |
0 | This album really blows! | For once NIN actually came out with something new and not re-mixed and it sucks. They randomly throw sounds out througha computer and they call it music?!? I have the other albums (all but broken and fixed) and they are ok -- aside from the remixes... I bought this one expecting it to be good... and it was a waste of money. You cant put garbage on a CD (double cd at that) and expect that just because your name is on it people will worship it.... this NIN can stay on the shelf IMHO... | 29,720 |
1 | Goonies was a great movie! | Loved the concept and lesson taught in this throwback movie. We watched it with our 3 kids -6,8,10 years old. They all loved it | 6,117 |
0 | Quacker Snack Mix | I purchased what I thought was the Munchies Snack Mix pictured and was disappointed when I received the Quacker Snack Mix (Baked Cheddar). This item did not contain anything I thought I was in the picture displayed. If I hadn't opened and given some to co-workers I would have returned for a refund. Please do not picture different items than what you are actually offering as this is deceitfulQuaker Snack Mix, Baked Cheddar, 1.75-Ounce Bags (Pack of 60). | 45,082 |
1 | ethereal sweet music | Lily for the Spectre is a lovely cd from start to finish. Stephanie Dosen has a beautiful voice and I continue to listen to this cd over and over again. | 12,725 |
0 | Radiator Mounts wrong size, and i was sent a radiator for an automatic transmission instead of standard. | As listed in previous reviews, the positioning and size of the mount points for the fan shroud do not align. And in addition, I was sent a radiator for the automatic transmission model instead of a standard. Since I did not install this radiator within a month after I ordered it (two weeks after I received it) I also may not return it. I should have just gone to my local auto parts store to make sure I received the right part. Lesson learned... | 28,849 |
0 | Not for every prog fan | I tried hard but never really enjoyed this CD. If you're looking for anything super melodic and/or heavy this may not be for you. I can understand how some would like this CD though. It is unique, but not my cup of tea. | 39,074 |
0 | Extremely bad transfer and horrible disc quality! | This CD release of "Betrayed" suffers from image quality notunlike the worst videotape you ever owned. It was hard to getinto watching this film because of how poor it looked on-screen!From now on, I'll think twice about ordering any of these WBarchive titles. It would appear that no attention was paid tocleaning up these films before offering them to the public. | 19,092 |
0 | Trouble Prone | Had it 2 weeks used it 6 times and had to send it back. I had a noise coming through the speaker that drowned out the navigator's voice. It almost sounded like a motorcycle.When it worked, I absolutely loved it. The directions were clear and concise and being told to turn at the street's name is nice too. It aquired its signal in less than 30 seconds everytime. Learning the interface was a breeze too.However, it is very heavy. And putting it on and taking it off of the Ram windshield's suction cup was very tedious. I expected the heaviness but I did not expect the difficulty of the suction cup placement and removal.So, I returned it and I am getting ready to purchase a Nav One 2750 or a Magellan 800. Can't decide on which one yet, though. | 2,981 |
1 | The Grandmother of Time | I have studied the wiccan path for a number of years on my own but only recently have been fortunate to have the guidance of an excellent teacher who recommended this book. I have enjoyed what this book has added to my teachings and to my everyday activities. | 7,845 |
1 | flippin' fast! | Works as advertised, and FAST to boot. My old reader go 600kbps/sec. This bad boy xfers files at 14mb/sec. | 41,970 |
1 | Good movie | My daughter loves the first two movies so we picked up this one to complete her collection. While it is a good movie the story has changed with more focus on fighting amongst the two different herds. While the fighting isn't overly violent, our daughter just doesn't seem to enjoy this movie as much as the other two. I do think that it is a great value for the price, while it is the same movie, you do get four different versions of it.Shipped fast and packaged well. | 49,735 |
0 | Just more of the same. | The only reason to buy this expansion pack is that you need it in order to download many of the great new, fan-made objects you'll want from the multitude of great Fan-made sites for The Sims.Things like, new skins, heads, and objects of all kinds which you cannot download and use in your game without the "Vacation" expansion pack.For that reason only, it is a "must have". | 39,991 |
0 | Fit didn't last one wearing | Right out of the package they fit fairly well. I wasn't expecting perfection for the relatively inexpensive price, but the fact that the bottoms of the legs were extremely loose after wearing them only once is a huge disappointment. I can see some slight stretching, but after wearing them once they went from snug to having over 1.5 inches of extra room at the thigh. Washing & drying brought the size back down slightly but did not last.I won't be buying any more. | 24,088 |
0 | Explain the sizing, please? | I got to this product by searching for "Women's" sizes and then swimsuits. I am plus sized and ordered a size "22" of this suit. When it came, the packaging said "Size 22", but the suit itself is toddler sized, maybe a 3 or 4!I'll save the suit because I have a niece that is 2 and will likely fit into the suit next summer. However, there needs to be a clearer guide about how this is sized! | 6,626 |
1 | Service contract | Received the contract within a couple of days of ordering it. Would recommend to others. | 13,196 |
1 | Beautifully written tale of tragedy | Poststructuralist claptrap notwithstanding, the structure of this book is perfect for its intended purpose; to explore the psychology of a dramatic and tragic event from the perspective of several of its participants. Told quickly about the central event, each successive pass brings you closer, allows you to feel the depth and inevitability and to experience both its attraction and revulsion until you arrive at the brilliant depiction of the tunnel vision of coping and performing ordinary tasks under extreme stress. I found this book hard to read precisely because it is well written, the characters vividly drawn and the events all too plausible. And in the end you understand; all of the pieces fall into place, but to what purpose? Is the cost of your enrichment really worth it, or is your attempt to derive meaning from pain convincing in the end?This book is in the same class as "The Bonesetter's Daughter" in terms of a fine portrayal of individuals and cultures. | 10,821 |
1 | Not As Good As "The Horse Whisperer" | I'm disappointed to say that "The Loop" is not as good as Evans' first book. The events are slow and it took me a long time to finish this book, because it didn't pull me very much. I have to admit though, that the last 100 pages were very good, the events were faster and more exciting. Evans does know a lot about animals and makes the reader want to know more and more himself. I wonder when his next book is coming out 'cause I'm really anxious to read it. | 4,645 |
1 | 2nd Best swing album I own | Not a bad track to be found. Great to dance to. Almost as good as Cherry Poppin' Daddies. A lot of fun | 4,424 |
1 | Can't Wait To See It Again... | I was in the audience at the Nokia Theatre. I missed the Comedy Central viewing...I'm buying it so I can watch it again and again. | 15,133 |
0 | What? | I can see why these dudes stay in the Underground scene, NOT cuz they want to, but cuz are wack. I didn't know what a juggalo was until a few months ago, I worked with a guy that was really into it and I took a listen, I didn't want to be rude to the guy and say this sucks. I just told him that isn't my style of music, not because I can't handle it, but because it is the most wack stuff I've every heard. I don't know how these dudes get any respect in the rap industry. | 25,246 |
1 | Great Album but... | It stills gives me the feeling that they left something out from the movie.Does anyone knows the song that begins playing when the 2 of Verone's thugs shout "GO!" for the race of collecting/returning the package.Best Song: Oye | 18,795 |
1 | expectatons | I have to admit that I hesitated when it was time to click on the "purchase item" button, not being sure of the cost/benefit outcome........ THIS PRODUCT HAS FAR EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS, and I would purchase it again, in a heartbeat | 9,859 |
0 | did not work, got so angry, threw it into the thrashcan! | I know, I know, terribly silly of me to just grab the thing and threw it into the trashcan, but it was a moment of 'going postal', I just lost it! It's the third time in a row that something I bought from amazon.com came defective and I was in a hurry, and tried to get this thing going once, twice, the motor took a deep breath, turned and whizzed, and then stopped, then came alive and stopped again. I dismantled it, reinstated it, tried again... and then it got stuck ... and ... well, I just lost it. I still need an onion chopper. I know amazon would have taken it back and given credit or another unit. But I saw red, what can I tell you? Needed to vent my frustration, break some legs, and ended up punishing myself :-((( | 10,280 |
1 | You don't have much of a choice, and it's reliable for a while... | Powerful when new, I love the MiniMite, battery doesn't last terribly long before holding a charge for shorter and shorter periods... good design. | 19,399 |
1 | Omnivorous canine charms | Alastair Taylor crafts a wry but overwritten tale of a greedy dachshund with the unusual name Swollobog (read the opening pages to find our the origin of this fantastic moniker),a dog that eats, well, anything and everything.The prose sometimes seems a bit much, the plot veers almost to the brink even for kids, but the illustrations are a delight. Sometimes the exaggerations carry a page, sometimes the subtle rendering of an expression.This story is good fare for those 9 years and younger (as long as they are not so suggestible that they try some of Swollobog's eating techniques), but the drawings are for all ages. | 2,223 |
0 | Turow's worst effort. Not worth reading. | Turow tells a very boring story of a very unexciting and uninteresting topic. Very poor effort. | 49,524 |
0 | He has better books. | I like Wilson's Repairman Jack series, so bought this. Back when it was first published, it was probably great. But now, the storyline is old news, a plot rehashed over and over again on tv shows. I figured out the "mystery" a chapter in, which isn;t any fun. But if you never watch tv, this might be a great one! For all I know, his was the original and tv just stole his ideas over the last 20 years. (Check out his Repairman Jack stuff, though.) | 23,532 |
1 | A Complete "What If" | There may be more exciting books using this idea -- the Allies losing WWII -- but I doubt you'll find one that's more atmospherically engrossing. The world that Dick creates is something else, especially the U.S. that's overrun with Japanese culture.Reading this book, I also realized something else: nobody writes the mind of a schizophrenic better than Dick. The passage where Tagomi is going nuts was so real that I almost couldn't read it.I still consider "Three Stigmatas of Palmer Eldritch" to be Dick's finest work, because it was so wonderfully whacked out, but I think "Man in the High Castle" is up there. It's more finely controlled than Palmer, and the landscape that Dick paints is worth looking at. | 3,147 |
0 | Disappointing | I love Dave Barry & think he's one of the funniest writers around, which is why I was so excited to read his book. While parts of it were funny, on the whole, it just didn't cut it for me as a book. It was very disjointed and a bit too far-fetched for its own good. Maybe his next book (if he decides to write one) will be better.... | 9,406 |
0 | True To Its Title | True to its title, the pre-quel to "Dumb and Dumber" is, in fact, "dumber-er". Laughless jokes, mediocre writing and an uninteresting plotline all add up to make this the worst movie of 2003, thus far (we're only half-way through, so anything is possible). Not even the presence of Eugene Levy, Cheri O'Teri, Bob Saget (who's character gives us the ONLY funny 45 seconds of the movie) or Mimi Rogers can elevate this out of the dank depths of movie mire.In short, spare yourself the waste of $... and, more importantly, the waste of 90 minutes of your life. Perhaps the only positive contribution "Dumb and Dumberer" makes to the cineamatic landscape is to inspire those that dream of become screen-writiers. If this tripe can make it to the big-screen during the summer blockbuster season, ANY movie can. | 35,424 |
0 | Worst. Assembly. Instructions. Ever. | I bought this workstation to use as a drill press for my crafts business. I consider myself relatively handy and intelligent and the instructions could not have been more worthless. Bad graphics, poor wording. I was able to "successfully" assemble it only after lucking out at the local hardware superstore where they had a Dremel demo last weekend. The nice guy running the demo took one out of the box for me and helped me set it up. He agreed the instructions were, uh, lacking. Also recommended that I use plumbers' tape to fix the wobbliness of the tube assembly. Overall this piece is useful but it's also a big disappointment. C'mon Dremel, you can do way better.p.s. The packaging and such may not list it, but this *does* accommodate the Dremel 4000 Series. | 39,360 |
0 | emaybin@comcast.net | The product was advertised to cut up to one inch thick when it arrived it clearly stated on the box that it only cut up to three quarters inch -since I purchased it to cut large rib eye or strip steak briskets into one inch steaks for outdoor grilling -I had no use for it | 5,846 |
0 | Bigger, but certainly not better | The only thing that's watchable here is . . . . wait, let me rephrase that. There is absolutely NOTHING watchable here. The plot is ridiculous, the characters are thin and annoying (especially Dafoe, who is in fact a great actor elsewhere), the action sequences are nothing but silly and painful to watch, and the script is . . . well, the script isn't as bad as the one for Batman & Robin, but it's STILL bad. What made Jan de Bont think he could try to surpass the classic original? Well, whatever happened, this movie turned out to be very worthless. Pass. | 13,307 |
1 | The Sword of Truth Box Set | This author rocks...you will not be able to put these books down. Don't be intimated by the thick books...you will finish them in no time and will start the next one. Best books I've ever read. I introduced my teenage son to the first book (he never reads) and he could not put it down. A must read even if your not typically a fantasy book reader. | 47,203 |
0 | not for me! | I wish I had not purchased this dvd. I am have been doing the Tracy Anderson mat workout for over a year now and I wanted something different to target my butt and thighs. I thought this would work and while it was challenging. It was not what I was hoping for. I have only used the dvd twice since opening it up.I would not recommend this to anyone that likes to burn alot of calories and sweat it out. | 356 |
1 | The program featured in this book has changed my life | I began the Lean for Life program on my 39th birthday on October 11th, 2001. Today, exactly 4 months later, I weigh 47 pounds less and am just 8 pounds from my goal weight. This is the most practical, easy-to-follow program I've ever tried. I started with the original Lean for Life book, and bought this new edition the day it went on sale. It's a fun, day by day format that kept me motivated every step of the way. I couldn't recommend this book (and the program it offers) more highly! | 17,026 |
1 | The whole world in your hands | My dad always bought me The World Almanac when I was a kid. No matter what the topic was, research for school assignments always found me first reaching for this volume for orientation. The information found in the Almanac lets you hold the whole world in your hands. | 21,346 |
0 | Almost as boring as Religion | Oh dear. Such a touchy and turgid tirade. This book is like a block of butter thrown against a stone wall....no impact whatsoever. Almost as believeable, bombastic and boring as the Bible, God or No God is such a great non-issue these days. Dull, dull, dull. Go watch an Arnie S. movie instead. | 2,218 |
1 | a solid worth while source book | This is the latest in the Barron's Business Guide on Computer and Internet terms. It is up to date has has over 3200 key terms made easier to understand by diagram, pictures or examples (as in programming). There are some terms not covered for some reason such as the types of networks, only a generic reference that if you were looking up networks you would know anyway. I hope they correct this over-sight and add more network terms but otherwise a very useful and helpful book. | 5,388 |
0 | Dries out my skin | I have combination skin and this dries it out to the point of being painful. I didn't notice any difference with the appearance of my pores, which are still big. I suffered for nothing. | 15,409 |
0 | 3.5GB for a 45 minute clip? | I tested some video clips with Sonic MyDVD... but for files such as 45 minute mpeg-1 from a VCD, MyDVD required 3.5GB of data. So, each DVD can fit about 60 minute of video? That's a lot worse than the standard DVD capacity of 120 minutes per disc. | 14,447 |
0 | Didn't receive the item pictured | I ordered these pens based off of the item that was pictured. I LOVE the pens that are depicted (they are a previous "model". The rubber grip was offered much more padding.) The model that they sent offer essentially no padding, and needless to say, I am thoroughly disappointed. | 7,305 |
0 | Attitude is everything | I have found that Intuit is not a friendly company. They certainly do not give a rip for their users problems. I think that other products like MS Money or Moneydance would have a more helpful and a friendlier feel from thier company. I say the product is okay to so-so. The company is a giant and its attitude shows its true colors. | 27,662 |
0 | Disappointing. | This album is not as good as I expected it to be. I certainly wouldn't call it "best of." Guess I should have smelled its low quality from that tacky photo on the cover... | 39,273 |
1 | Barclay's Commentary Set | One of the very best examinations of the culture and customs of the Early Christian era. I rate Barclay at the top of the list in describing, e.g., why Jesus may have chosen a particular parable to communicate to the people of that time. There is none better than Barclay. | 5,624 |
1 | Really enjoyed watching all of it | Lark Rise to Candleford has some really interesting characters and I enjoyed getting to know them all. I like the story in each show | 37,737 |
0 | OK if they were teenagers | The premise was so good and it could have been such a nice story. The first 1/3rd was very enjoyable. Then, these two very immature people started acting very immaturely in a very boring, long drawn out, and without reason type of way. After the little incident that was there to bring the story drama, the rest of the book was all "I love him, but, he's too rich for me" & "I love her, but, I can't stop whining long enough to do anything about it". Add annoying family members and interfering friends and you have an excellent YA story for the 10 to [..]crowd, but, a real snoozer for adults. | 38,251 |
1 | Holy Blood, Holy Grail | excellent book - full of starteling theories and great information. The authors did a detailed job of research and were knowledgeable when they put it together!! | 13,369 |
1 | Great for over glasses | My husband had a pair (about 6 years old) and they finally broke - I bought these to replace the old pair and these are much better material. Good size - not too big. | 40,281 |
0 | Bad typesetting | No complaints on the contents, but the typesetting in the Centennial edition (Penguin Group) is by far the worst I've encountered in a professionally published work. There's simply no excuse for such sloppy work. | 33,770 |
0 | Don Quijote de la Mancha (Audio CD) | Fantastic !It's better than reading the book. Obviously, it does not go into all the details, but as you listen to the interpreters voices, and the music, you feel as if you are in a theater.I'd strongly recommend it to anyone interested in a Classic rendition of one of the best books ever written.Angel Aguilar | 26,153 |
1 | An objective historical review of Christ and his mission | Talmage has a unique way of delving into the personality of the son of God...Jesus Christ. Throughout the pages he not only describes the personality but delves into the misssion of Christ and why he was what he was. The reader will come away with a better understanding of the trinity being three distinct personages: an understanding of the purpose of life; and most important becoming a witness of Jesus himself. Its worth the time and investment to get a personal copy for the family library. | 40,075 |
0 | "Love" you forever? | I read the book years ago, and I've read a number of the reviews, both pro and con.Mother is crawling across the floor of the son's room from the time he is about nine. Why? And she keeps doing it!So let's pretend that it's a father and daughter. He crawls across the floor of his nine year old daughter's room and picks her up... And keeps doing this until she is living across town, and then he brings a ladder.It creeps me out no matter which parent does it, but you can see why the author (a male) had to write from the mother's viewpoint.*shudder* | 42,211 |
