0 | somewhat dissappointed | I purchased this because I am enthusiastic about the lessons in the Course in Miracles. What I find I don't enjoy so much about this version is that the reader on audio just reads on and on and on with not much entonation or life in his voice at all. It feels like a supermarket list, a list of chores to do or something like that. After not very long at all, even wishing to hear the message, it is hard for me to continue listening. The form is taking over he essence of it. A pity because it is a spiritual reading I was looking forward to. | 40,748 |
0 | Should not be rated G -- viotent scenes. | There is a scene when Goofy's son slaps a theme park character for no good reason. This scene was not funny and not necessary. I realize that they wanted to show his disappointment with the theme park, but Disney could have got the point across another way. There was another scene earlier in the movie when Goofy's son is on his way to school, and a girl punches his shoulder because he is acting not so cool. Also, the very beginning of the movie starts off with a nightmare, from which Goofy's son wakes up to punch the alarm clock. There is no need for any of this violence. I had to explain to my son too many times that this behavior is not acceptable in reality and this is only a cartoon. I wish Amazon would provide a refund. It is not what I expected from a movie that is rated G. It is definitely more like PG. | 3,918 |
0 | Porn Warning! | Everything is fine. You're sitting there feeling good that a "decent" movie could be so well made. You are not prepared for the ending which just had to break down into x-rated pornography. I mean it couldn't even be two people naked and we get the clue. It had to be graphic.What a loser! | 37,897 |
1 | Good Stetho | One of the Best Stethos that i have seen, good quality, all the pieces are really tight together, and the sound come clear as water | 44,628 |
1 | midland xt511 good but............... | i do like the radio but could be better if you could hook up a better antenna to it for more range my only problem with it is the range i live in the country that might be the problem i say if you live in a city it will be the best if you live in the country then no good over all i feel it is a great radio but needs to be more convertable | 29,210 |
0 | Low back support? | If you have a back problem and you rely on the abmat to support your low back and protect you from injury your'e likely to get the opposite effect, particularly if low back extension hurts you. The reason why is simple, it supports the wrong side of your back. Back pain is produced when the hip flexors pull on the lumbar spine in the extended position, the abmat puts your low back in the position. | 8,496 |
1 | Worth the price | This is my first DSLR camera. I bought this to learn photography. I would say that this camera is worth for the price. I would suggest to buy just the camera body and go for a better lens. This camera has decent enough features for a DSLR. This does not have the live preview option though. | 20,005 |
0 | Died before the 1st year was out | Last September I decided that, after almost 30 years with my old Zenith digital alarm clock, it was time for me to get a new clock. I chose the Timex MP3/cd line-in alarm clock. It is somewhat confusing to use. There were a couple of times when it didn't perform as I thought I'd set it to, and I don't know if I did something wrong or it was malfunctioning. The performance and features of it are, however, decidedly secondary to the fact that it's now dead. I woke up, over an hour late, this morning to see a random pattern of lines displayed across the face. Regardless of the buttons I pushed there was no response or change. I unplugged it before I left and plugged it back in when I got home hoping for some sort of revival, but I was disappointed. I'm really pissed off, and all I can do is write this review. I really wish I kept the old Zenith; somehow I think it would be working today. | 29,367 |
1 | Battery Tender | Shipment was ahead of schedule. The charger performed exactly as advertised. I was pleasently surprised at the compactness of the item.I would recommend this charger to anyone needing a charger/tender combination for all 12 volt batteries large and small. | 48,887 |
1 | Lifesaver | In my late 30's I started having unexplained joint pain. Nothing a doctor could do anything about. My knees could barely navigate the stairs first thing in the morning, and forget trying to bend over or down. I was relieved to finally find a brand that comes in 3 smaller pills vs. 2 larger ones (have tried several brands and always have trouble gagging the big pills down). After 6 wks of regular use (as prescribed), it was like a light switch turned off the pain. Not completely pain free, I'll admit, but if I ever forget how bad it was 2 years ago when I started taking this product, all I have to do is stop taking it consistently for a week or two (happened once on a vacation and another time when I ran out of the product), the pain will come back unbearably about 2 wks after I stop, and I'll remember. Miracle product! | 19,061 |
0 | Returned the Kindle edition | I looked "inside this book," which gave me a view of the Table of Contents. I liked what I saw, because there was a decent chapter on transcortical motor aphasias, on which I wanted an update. So I ordered and downloaded the Kindle edition, which would be the 2011 edition. There was no chapter on TMA. In fact, all the chapters on specific syndromes were gone. Instead, there appeared to be much more focus on rehabilitation. And chapter 2 is now on "Humanistic" aspects of language disorders, whatever that may mean.So, if you're sizing this up for a Kindle purchase, be forewarned: the TOC you get in the preview of the 2004 edition is radically different from the one you will receive. I have ordered a used copy of the 2004 edition. | 16,827 |
0 | Let's be honest here.... | Back in 1991, when I was 14 I bought this album, and thought that Pearl Jam were the coolest thing around. ELEVEN YEARS LATER, and I can see this CD for what it truly is, an uninspired, bland commercial pop knock-off.Songs like "Alive" and "Even Flow" have dated horribly in the past decade, while stiff like "Jeremy" was considered MTV-fluff even back then. If you didn't fall for the hype (like me) and wasted your money on this, then good for you. Avoid at all costs. | 19,266 |
0 | Not that great | I felt this book was very simplistic and not much of an advantage for getting "Straight A's". It was an ok review, but really no earth shattering info that would put you over the edge. Don't waste your money! | 26,276 |
0 | Thumbs Down! | I had big expectations for a movie that included two good actors: Adam Sandler & Jack Nicholson, but this movie was a big let down. The movie got funny until after 20 minutes and they showed some pretty stupid stuff (And I like stupid stuff!): lesbians stapling one of their mouth closed, the guy from cheers acting as a cross-dresser!, hurting a budhist and making fun of his retarded sister!, telling a woman that he is expolding in his pants and she says thats "too cute!", how much lame crap can you stuff into a movie!Don't bother watching this unless you want to see a sick movie and you are over the age of twelve. | 44,593 |
0 | Guess what ...you really can't use oil base paint, either! | I thinned and thinned my oil base primer until it would finally spray and using it on some bare wood new eaves, I could have put ten coats on to get good coverage...worse yet, the oil base paint was next to impossible to clean out of it without a big tank of Mineral Spirits or something. There is no possibility that I was able to clean it well enough to use any other color than the white I started out with. I bought an extra front end for it, too! Might as well have thrown the money away...no wonder you see so many Wagner sprayers in Second Hand stores!Avoid this product unless you want to use it for stain. | 16,572 |
0 | See below to see a better book and save you time and money.... | How to Start and Run an eBay Consignment Businessby Skip McGrath | 6,561 |
1 | Even better than the movie. . . | Don't take this wrong, the movie was excellent. But the book has so much more riveting detail that wasn't incorporated into the film. Thomas Harris is in a league of his own, the master of creating suspense. Hannibal Lecter and Jame Gumb are two of the sickest fictional sociopaths ever created. The Silence of the Lambs is one of my all-time favorite books. If you haven't read this book yet, now is the time. | 7,121 |
1 | TomTom car kit | I just purcased the Tomtom Rider car kit, and it was very easy to install.Delivery of the Tomtom was promt and efficient. | 35,627 |
1 | Not the best, but by far not the worst | The same as the others except this one is actually scary in some ways. This is Kane Hodder's best appearance as Jason. His eerie walk, his ominous turn of the head and his brute strength make him a match for a Michael Myers or Freddy any day. Worth watching if only for the site of Hodder playing Jason. If you didn't know it was an actor you may take him for a real mass murderer: he's that good. | 28,204 |
1 | Inspiration | Kubrick's masterpiece was the inspiration that began a new age of science fiction films, and his inovations (stargate sequence) led to development of cgi and motion capture. | 16,207 |
0 | Could have been better | this book was mildly interesting. It was hard to really connect with any of the characters and the plot seemed to drag out. Not something I would recommend to a friend. | 8,510 |
1 | Another Hit | I was not dissapointed nor was i turned off from the almost 900 pages. I was so excited to read this book and was not let down.First off, the story is very different from the other books, its not a hurah harry book, things actually go wrong for him! this makes it realistic. Second, you really think, can this be happening? Where the heck is this story going to go. And that is why I read books! | 31,202 |
0 | Just silly | Another nerd pretending to cover up sooo secret mysteries! Find yourself in a kids education video for under PG6. The themes are great , super fantastic, super expensive production, a staff of hundred or so people, to create a kindergarten educations documentary in the style of sesame-street for conspiracy nutheads. And as allways - at the end of the story - you know as much as before!!! Old wine in new HD-Blueray-bottles! It's a waste of time, that's why I wasted some time for this review!:OD | 23,873 |
0 | momsread | My daughter expressed a deep interest in these books so I took one with me on a biz trip to preview. I would not say that I was disapointed, I knew it was TL in the first place, but I was really surprised at how week the main character was portrayed. She takes no responsibility for herself or her own emotions, relying instead on others to lift her up and to make her circumstances more bearable. She is further portrayed as klutzy, accident prone with low self-esteem and instead of the author developing Bella's strengths, it seems she focuses on developing her dependence on a boyfriend, again to solve her problems for her and save her from herself.I discussed a few of these topics with my daughter but urged her to read it for herself. She thought it would have been a brilliant story, had Bella become a stronger person too, instead of resigning herself to whatever fate (joy with boyfriend, doom without) doled out for her. Sparkly Vampires??? This one had us both in stitches..... | 35,406 |
1 | Love it so much that I listen to it everyday in the car! | The best album I have heard in along time! Very upbeat and puts me in a very good mood! | 35,067 |
1 | Incredible! | I brewed tea in this thermos at about 8pm and fell asleep on it just a bit later. When I woke up, I accidentally kicked it off of the drink stand and it didn't spill a drop. Opened it up at around 3PM intending to reheat, and it was still warm! Great thermos. | 41,509 |
1 | A Can't Miss TV Series | I'm starting to think that this may become my favorite TV series of all time. I haven't seen a TV series this exciting since Firefly! It truly is amazing and you will love this series if you are a fan of the Terminator. Each episode is masterfully written and fits into the mythology of the series. It has been a long time since I have seen a TV series where every episode is just as good as the last. The actors really do have chemistry on screen and the show just works. I just hope that this doesn't get cancelled because I could keep watching this for a long time. | 559 |
1 | Great book for couples | This book is perfect for new couples, honeymooners, or couples that are adding a new "spark" to their relationship. Makes it easy to do something special with your loved one, everything needed is listed.....a must have for couples. | 44,909 |
1 | A Glimpse Into The Shadows of His Soul! | A Glimpse Into The Shadows of His Soul. Matthew Stover does just that! Once again, another excellent addition in the movie based books in the Star Wars saga. This book, like the others, is chock full of insight that you may have missed while watching the movie and will focus in on every detail of the story and climatic battles. My favorite parts of the book is when Stover careful crafts in the lore and back history of the Sith and when he sneaks in some added and most helpful information that the movie left out, for example...ah read it! | 45,584 |
0 | Very small | Bought this as a Christmas gift but when they came they were so small I couldn't find the second ear ring in the bag. Needless to say I sent these back. | 451 |
1 | Essential Children's Adaptation | This film, an adaptation of the book of the same title by Roald Dahl, is a blitz through a chocolate factory where the children selected to visit meet a number of quite amusing fates. This a childhood classic, one that every child should see, as it's fun, and filled with classic moments. I can't comment on the DVD, but as a film, it holds its ground among children's movies. | 43,779 |
0 | YUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | This do is realy ugly and scary.Her make-up is not great.What slutty clothes.Don`t buy this doll.BRATZ DOLLS SUCK.P.S.I DON`T CARE IF SOMEONE WILL BEAT MY REVIEW. | 19,110 |
0 | Awful | I used this toothpaste for a couple weeks. It left the inside of my mouth feeling numb and dehydrated. I also got big gobs of disgusting slime in my mouth each morning. Initially I blamed a new toothbrush, but from the rest of the reviews I think I can conclude this was another side effect of the paste. Yuck. | 3,871 |
1 | COMPELLING AND POWERFUL | This novel was compelling and powerful. I could not put it down. Many weeks after having finished reading it, I am still haunted and disturbed by the book. The story is about atonement, forgiveness and redemption, themes that I am struggling with, and especially appropriate for this time of year, the Jewish New Year and Day of Atonement.I strongly recommend this book. | 33,698 |
0 | Not a usable upgrade | Upon installation, Quicken 2003 converts your old data to its new format. This worked fine for all my accounts except checking. Clicking on the checking account to view the register produced an error that made me close and reenter Quicken. It did it each time: there was no way to make it work. I have uninstalled and reinstalled about 5 times to no avail. I refuse to pay for tech support for a product that does not work, and their chat support never responds. I went back to the 2002 version. Even starting over with the checking account and reentering each transaction for a year produced the same results. This product does not work. | 419 |
0 | Genius tablet | I needed a tablet to write on powerpoints was unable to do this with it. Support was of no help at all. Had to call several times at one time told the whole department was at lunch!!! | 6,491 |
0 | dion tape | Tape is okay as background music at baby shower, or in the nursery. I am not a celine dion fan. | 24,597 |
1 | Expresso Every Day | My Mom had one and my husband wanted his own, liked it so much we bought one for our son. It works great, we have latte's every day... and my husband loves waking up to the smell of made coffee, better then an alarm clock... It doesn't come with a frothing cup so make sure you get that seperate. | 17,367 |
0 | barf city | Amazon needs to include a vomit bag as well as a split screen with a better movie playing side by side. | 49,764 |
0 | I guess I don't get it. | This movie was HORRIBLE! I can't believe Henry Fonda would reduce himself to that. I bought it for the New Mexico scenes (Mogollon, Acoma, and White Sands), but I had read the other reviews here and thought it might be good. Wow, what do I need to smoke before I watch it to make it bearable? It was not funny, it was stupid. The plot (if it had one) was impossible to follow. Fonda was good, but Terrence Hill was a total ham, complete corn. No wonder he never made any serious movies, HE CAN"T ACT!Unlike most of the others who have posted reviews, I would rate this as the WORST movie ever made (with the exception of Telephon, with Charles Bronson).The only funny part in the whole movie was the music part where they played "Ride of the Valkeries" on what sounded like automobile horns. But the movie itself WAS NOT FUNNY, nor was it good. | 20,639 |
1 | One of the greatest fantasy movies ever. | Read the book as a child and the movie did not mess it up.The creatures the sets and the locations are truly awe-inspiring. i watch it over and over. Great!!!! | 23,414 |
0 | Failure | This is one of the single worst toys I have ever seen for a dog. I have a great dane puppy, yes puppy(11 weeks old) and she had the threads loose within 2-3 minutes of light chewing. After the threads were open, then it quickly became a choking hazard. Then it got thrown away. | 25,678 |
1 | Best Mix of 2002 | Full disclaimer: I'm not a trance fanatic, and up until now; I've never been a fan of John Digweed.I listened to most of the first track, and scanned through the rest of this mix at a record store listening booth. It didn't jump out at me, but it was on sale and I was in the mood for something different, so I bought it.I've listened to this cd about eleven times in the last four days and the stand out track, for me, is "Dust" by Pole Folder and CP, with it's subtle and moody vocals, and haunting and melodic production. It really sets the tone for the entire mix, which builds to a sublime and emotional climax by the time it gets to the remix of Shakespeare's Sister's "Black Sky".I was amazed to read the bad reviews by the, apparently, hardcore Digweed fans. If you want a beautiful, moody, and chill mix to listen to while driving around at night: ignore the bad comments and pick this baby up. You won't regret it. | 21,291 |
0 | DVDs are good, but Amazon service is not | One of the DVDs in the box set I purchased does not function properly. I have been waiting for over a month to send it back to Amazon. I have requested a return envelope twice. It still has not arrived. So, I highly recommend buying the product from someone other than Amazon. At least then it will be easy to return should you also have problem. | 43,727 |
0 | "The Works" Tub & Shower Cleaner does not work | I have been so happy with "The Works" cleaner for toilet bowls (best product ever) that I had high hopes for The Works Tub & Shower Cleaner. Unfortunately, it does not work at all. I am beyond disappointed. I am considering trying to use the version for toilet bowls on my tub and shower. | 38,316 |
0 | the target | I found the character Ramsey totally unbelievable.And Molly seemed inconsistant.It made a fairly good read, but not up to her normal excellance. | 17,349 |
0 | Not bad-bad, but disappointing | "Tokyo dance-hall music" is what it says on the back cover. At first I thought it might be classic, old-style Japanese pop. Turns out it's a bunch of cover songs, performed by two women (apparently twins, if the cover is any indicuation) and backed by a decent but not particularly original backup band. The vocals are of the standard "awww look how cute the Japanese women sing!" variety, which is to say, they are momentarily amusing, and then annoying. A comparison to karaoke isn't far off. That said, there's nothing horrible about any of this -- everybody involved is competent, the production value is strong, and the vocalists hit their notes, etc. If this were on in the background of a store or something, it'd make things nice and upbeat. | 3,693 |
0 | Is English This Writer's First Language? | I'll dispense with a summary of what happens in this novel as others have done it thoroughly and well in other reviews. I don't usually write reviews. Yet, I feel compelled to post my two cents' worth because I was so disappointed. The writing in this book is atrocious and destroys a perfectly intriguing notion. I'm not being facetious when I wonder if it was translated from another language. And just so you have some idea what else I'm reading and comparing this to at the moment: '1776' by McCullough; Bruen's 'The Magdalen Martyrs'; 'Specimen Days' by Cunningham; 'Memories of Ice' by Erikson. If you still feel compelled to check out 'The Historian' then by all means do so... go check it out of the library. Even buying this at a huge discount is a waste of money. | 32,495 |
1 | brilla con muchos colores | Noto que los comentarios de la edicion en espanol son todos en ingles. Porque? No los se, pero yo por mi parte estoy contentisima que lo lei en espanol. La verdad, actualmente lo estoy leyendo de vuelta. Como me encantan las voces de los personajes! Ay, cuando la abuela enojona habla es como si estuviera saliendo de las paginas una persona tan inolvidable,tan reganona, tan unica... casi puedo oir su voz en mi cocina. Y saber mas de su ninez nos ayuda en entenderla mejor (aunque sigue siendo dificil...)La traductora Liliana Valenzuela hizo un trabajo extraordinario con este libro. No hay nada de rigidez ni de torpeza- fluye con gracia y humor.Me gusta este libro bien mas que La Casa en Mango Street. Este cuento esta lleno de color, de vibracion, de gracia. Lindisimo. GRACIAS! | 43,328 |
1 | Generally good, but not heavy duty | This case is good if you just want to walk around with your camera and keep dust off of it and general light-duty usage. However, it's about twice as thick as a backpack and has velcro closure and thus should not be used for anything heavy duty. If you want something really padded that would protect your instruments if you dropped them (from a low height, of course) or bumped into something with a little bit of force, this isn't the case for you. I bought a 17-55mm f/2.8G ED-IF AF-S DX lens as well and that attached to my Nikon D80 fit in here just fine. | 15,671 |
0 | Haven't I read this before? | I have never read Hour Of the Hunter so I can only judge this book on it's own merits. But, I was not impressed. If you take away all the Native American references you are left with a pale imitation of a Diehl, Cornwell, or Harris book. Lani, of course, is the perfect daughter whom no real harm comes to. In the end Davy's intervention isn't even needed and I couldn't help wondering if the time spent on him wasn't for the purpose of upping the page count. As for the parents they show no insight or realization into their own culpability regarding their children's present day circumstances. This might have actually made them interesting characters. And did anyone not know the killer would die by falling in the hole in the cave? | 9,023 |
1 | A great collection from the master..... | I've got more than a dozen Miles Davis albums and when it comes to great tunes and a sustained, intimate and mellow mood, this is one my my favorites (Kind of Blue, of course is in such a class by itself - that's a whole other story.) I listen to this most in my massage therapy practice. Here's what I wrote on my facebook practice page:"Some sessions call for spacious drone music or soothing new age sounds, and some call for jazz. This collection of slow and mid-tempo tunes from the '50's is one of my favorites. Not every cut works, but the first 5 or 6 are as great to work to as anything in my collection."For the price it's available here, don't even think about it.. | 34,278 |
0 | A minority opinion | After the many glowing reviews of this book, I was ready to love it. But I just couldn't. What really bothered me was I felt Daniel made totally unrealistic advances in a short period of time. In real life, language acquisition in non-verbal autistic kids is a slow process. My son was diagnosed over 5 years ago, and I still remember the pain the diagnosis brought, so I could relate to Melanie. The disorder is not as easily improved as is shown here. | 30,803 |
0 | Not a typical Clancy - unfortunately | Occasionally when I read Clancy's novels, I get frustrated with the volume of pages filled with futsy technical details. With this CD I found myself wishing for the details that I so often get bogged down with. Also, this CD fails to develop the characters in the way I have come to expect from Tom Clancy. All that aside, if you are not looking for a typical Clancy, this proved to be an entertaining albeit shalllow experience. | 17,001 |
1 | Wow. | Bought this for my wife, for her home office. Wow. She's REALLY happy. Tons of "attaboy's" over this choice. | 46,329 |
0 | Junk save your money | Had it 2 years, only used the blower function, light duty. Year one, on off switch malfunctioned. Year 2 on off switch totally quits.Had a Brush hog string trimmer it also lasted 2 years. From now on I think I'll just avoid the B&D brand altogether. They used to make a good product in the 60's and and 70's, but the last 2 items I got from them are a total waste of good money.SAVE YOUR MONEY DON"T BUY IT! JUNK JUNK JUNK | 48,229 |
0 | Monica as martyr and victim doesn't work for me | I am six months younger than Lewinsky, and am angered at Morton's portrayal of Monica as a typical Gen Xer. Despite his best efforts, Morton's Monica still comes off as a spoiled, irresponsible brat. Believe me, there are 25 year old women who don't live in their mother's million dollar apartments. Nor do we show our thong straps to our supervisors as a means of playful flirtation. Indeed, I can empthasize with Monica for her weight issues, but refuse to believe that obesity pushed her into affairs with married men, as Morton hypothesizes. I am a voracious reader and am able to finish books quickly, but this was was like reading pages and pages of tax manuals interwined with whining. Monica, please, for the women of our generaton, accept some responsiblity for your part. As a postscript, I found the Tori Spelling antedote the most interesting thing in the book! | 12,726 |
1 | Dying to remember | This book was a very good book because it had a lot of drama in it and it was full of surprises. It's one of those books where you don't want to stop reading it because your afraid you'll miss something. It's an emotional struggle within a young woman by the name of Maggie that is abused by her husband Nate throughout their relationship. When Maggie was found almost killed in the summer of 1996, she believed it to be her husband Nate. Six years later, a man by the name of Ben hodge confesses that he was the one who almost killed her. Now Maggie is faced with, who really was the one that attacked her that night and almost killed her? You have to read this book to find out. | 24,768 |
1 | Perfect digital camera for kids! | Our son loves this camera and we do too. The price is amazing (new priced at $10 - $15 in the Marketplace or eBay), it has auto flash, and easy to download pics to the computer without wasting money on developing. The company did go out of business, but there is an amazing following on the internet and it is easy to find up-to-date software to download pictures (most of it FREE). The quality of the pictures is not great (outdoor pictures are pretty good; indoor with flash are over-exposed) but better than expected for the price. The camera is also powered by a 9v battery so no special digital camera battery needed. I really can't say enough good things about this camera. It is the perfect way to introduce your children to photography without investing a lot of money. | 18,927 |
1 | Easy-Peasy | Worked the first time! no trouble. My only wish is that it were slightly smaller. It is wide for my small hand. It works so I am happy. | 42,436 |
1 | Love the remix | I really liked this song too bad that America missed out on the video. The remix is really good. | 41,332 |
1 | Lifesaver | We've used this with our daughter since she was born. She falls asleep in it all the time. It's a little fast for small babies so I just draped a bath towel over her lap and let it drag the ground until she was 6 wks old (>12 lbs). I changed the batteries for the first time when she turned 2 months old. It's not a space-saver but it's worth it! | 5,729 |
0 | Big Disappointment Compared to MX 610 | I received this mouse as a replacement for my MX 610, which was probably the best mouse I ever had. This model is nowhere near as responsive as the 610 was and does not have as good a tracking either. They removed both the volume buttons and the notifications lights for emails and IMs. Instead they give you the completely worthless look up button which lets you highlight a word and search for it, whoopty freaking do.The only nice thing about it is the surface of the side grips, that is a slight improvement. Overall my placement 620 will sit in a box as a back up. I managed to find an MX 610 replacement. Try to find them since they are now discontinued. | 28,383 |
1 | Charming movie | I very much like this movie with the exception of the ridiculous witches, which I could've done without. It doesn't concern itself very much with reality, which I sometimes like. It doesn't take itself too seriously and is just plain good fun. I'm quite surprised that the profile of actress Susie Benton, who plays Rachel, hasn't risen higher. | 28,366 |
0 | a big disappointment | I have to give myself 5 stars for finishing this simplistic, predictable effort.The premise is fascinating but the author didn't develop a believable read - and the romance was just too much for me - more like a Harlequin romance novel. I can't see this author rising above this level of writing, so I won't be purchasing any more of her books. | 42,126 |
1 | A very entertaining collection of short stories | I enjoyed this book, especially "One Man's Meat...", which is the last story and has 4 possible endings. I would advise strongly that you read them all (I found the first one to be the best). The only flaw about this book is that the endings to the stories weren't particulary surprising, but it is still well worth a look for anyone who enjoys Jeffrey Archer's fantastic novels | 22,353 |
0 | Mildly entertaining | Mildly entertaining 1970's drive in schlock about a scissor wielding killer terrorizing a small farm community. The lead character is a Swedish spinster with issues (constant flashbacks to her childhood suggest this even though the flashbacks themselves don't show anything particularly disturbing) whose sewing scissors disappear around the time the murders start. Is she the killer or a potential victim? Since this is a pre-slasher horror film the violence is pretty mild. Haunts isn't particularly suspenseful but it's a decent enough time-waster if you like 70's B movies. Then there's the transfer. This looks pretty much like a VHS tape. The bright scenes are watchable enough but the dark scenes are frequently so washed out that you can barely see anything at all. Keep your expectations very low if you decide to watch this one. | 32,765 |

0 | Childs candy ?? | I ordered this product along with the catsure in the can for my 11 yr old cat that has cancer.She wasn't eating much of anything so the vet at "Just Answer" told me about Catsure and when I went to order it I found all these "great?" reviews on Nutri-Cal so I thought I would order it along with the Catsure to give her even more vitamins and minerals to help her get better.Every time I would put this on her dry or can food she would only take a bite or two then refuse to eat. Even my fat healthy cats would not touch it.For the $7+ a tube it is not worth it. I have finally found a can food she loves (Fancy Feast appetizers) and gobbles down when she isn't gasping for breath from eating so fast. | 21,369 |
0 | Leaky... | I received this as a "must have" gift from my mom...Unfortunately, the first time we used it, water spilled all over my table then on to the floor. We moved the tub into my kitchen and it still leaks a little, even fully expanded...I don't notice as much leakage if there isn't a ton of water in there. However, if you have a foam support for your baby like I do, the tub requires more water for your baby to be comfortable..At which time the tub will leak a little..OK tub, but you MUST read the instruction before you fill for the first time, and I would actually buy something else. | 43,891 |
1 | Simply yummy | I love these noodle bowls. They only take 2 minutes to heat, and come with their own fork. I love them for meals on the go, to take to work and for a quick lunch or dinner. The quality and the taste is excellent. I love all the Simply Asia Noodle Bowls. Best of all each bowl is one serving. I hate the kind that you find out are considered two servings once you've already eaten it! | 30,776 |
0 | Poor Quality | I have this for about 8 months now and it's not working anymore. Didn't work after first 3 months, I had to call sony and they helped me do channel auto set up and it worked. ( still it's hard to believe why that happened in 1st place without changing setup) and it happened 2nd time now. Doesn't play. Called Sony and can't get it fixed over the phone. It's out of labor warrenty. Was never satisfied with this one. I am big fan of Sony but I didn't read all reviews before I bought this one. Never Buy this product. | 35,703 |
0 | An Insider View | Please spare me the research aspects of all thats been written before. You understand little of the inside workings of Mars, especially the insights of Forrest Sr. This book contains the known cream, but little of the substantive "meat". Few will ever really know Mars, or how it works, and unfortunately this author is one of these. To know Mars, to work for the company, is to know the consumer, as the consumer is key to the success, Little new light is shed on the shadow known as Mars in this diatribe. | 18,405 |
0 | YOU may like it! | I usually rip the CD into my collection and stash it for safe keeping. This is safe from being ripped. It was more like B-Side records that Neo Soul. Don't need this one in my collection. But hey, YOU may like it. | 26,073 |
1 | If you only want her dance club songs... | I was debating over whether to get the Heat cd with all of her new music releases or just the single. If you're like me, I only really like her upbeat dance type songs. I listened to bits of each song on Heat and was really disappointed, hoping for more songs like this single. If you love her passion and her romance and heartbreak songs, you'll probably love her Heat cd. If you only want her dance club type songs, this single is all you need! It even comes with the video you can play on your pc. However, I was a little disappointed with the "you're making me high remix." The original was much better. Regardless, you can't go wrong with this single! | 6,785 |
0 | Focus Problems Abound - Had 2 copies, both bad, returned for refund! | Although the lens is fast and built well enough I got two copies with the "front focus" problem. I returned both without hassle from Amazon and am going to buy the 18-200mm Canon lens instead, along with the 50mm f1.4. I found that most of my "portrait" type shooting was done at the 50mm end of the 17-50 anyway so the 50mm prime lens from Canon will fill that niche. Too bad the Tamron had the Front Focus problem b/c I did like the lens. Some, very few, of the autofocus pics were sharp but most were too soft to be acceptable. I found myself sitting in Manual Focus mode almost all the time (any time that an in-focus picture was important, which is "always"). MF was very sharp though.If Tamron fixes the AF problem then this would be a great lens. Too bad. | 24,787 |
1 | As good as the first two. | The only reason this set doesn't earn 5 stars from me is Martin's tendency to confuse the story with just too many families, clans and characters. | 18,760 |
0 | Beware:Stinging ants enclosed | Do you really want stinging ants to get out into your home?If not do not buy. There is about an inch anda halfspace over the gel in the container so lookingat the product you may think the ants are far enough away from opening of the container and will stay contained. The ants however when they dig carry someof the gel and build it up on the top area. In the instructions you are given it states that the ants need air to live and to openthe container to give them air. however when you do this you are giving them an escape. My son was terrified when some of the stinging ants got out of the container and into his room. I think they need a better design or more space in the top of the unit. Also I know they do not send a queen ant but who's to say whenthey get out they cannot mate with ants in your home. Doyou want stinging ants all over your home? I'm guessing not | 743 |
0 | Not impressed | i ordered this product and Amazon shipped it to me promptly. When I opened the package the product had a bad weld so one of the bars was loose. Amazon promptly sent a new one and returned the defective one with no hesitation. I just received the replacement one today. I opened the box to discover the screws to hang the hinges are not in the box. I am going to keep the gate. I have screws I can use but I am concerned about the shoddy workmanship and missing pieces. What can we expect from China though! | 40,006 |
1 | Monster play time | Son enjoys this game because he can be a monster and destroy things without getting in trouble... | 8,990 |
1 | good book | One of the best short-story collections for 5-8 yr old girls or boys. The stories sometimes have strange but funny twists. | 5,334 |
1 | Cutesy | If you like chick flicks, this movie, you'll love. Definitely a movie for hopeless romantics. Channing Tatum was a great and very hot actor for the part. Check this movie out | 6,881 |
0 | They look great in the stock photo but not in real life | I bought these plates and also the black small salad/dessert plates and I was so disappointed in the quality. Right out of the factory sealed package 10 out of the 12 plates I ordered were scratched or had defeats. Plus they were packed very poorly by the company and about 7 out of the 12 were either chipped or damaged. These plates are very very poor quality and I would recommend NOT BUYING THESE PLATES. I have never been so disappointed in a purchase quite like this. I received a refund within 48 hours and if I could give it a zero star, I would. Don't waste your time or money... go with something else. | 21,076 |
1 | Super | Again another amazing book by Janet Evanovich and Charlotte Hughes. Funny, sexy, the kind of book you just can't put down. | 41,506 |
0 | horrible | This is one of the worst books I've ever read. At one point the author clumsily explains what a Blackberry is. There is also an explosion in a public place and no one waits for the police (I have no idea if they investigate, I quit reading before that). This is one of the few books I didn't even try to finish. | 20,284 |
0 | Over stated and of limited use! | This limited database is quite over stated - lacks the inward slave manifests -- I was anxious to explore it for my own research in similar areas. Unfortunately, the CD requires its user to have pre-loaded database software, which, hadn't been explicitly stated. Even with some database software not all files opened. It's a bad dream. | 49,733 |
1 | Overall I enjoyed it | I downloaded this one for free just before Christmas and overall really enjoyed it. In my view the only thing that was annoying about the book were the insinuations that white people couldn't possibly know how to play basketball. This subplot (or whatever the author's point was for including it) somewhat tarnished an otherwise enjoyable book. | 31,726 |
1 | interesting | This is worth watching for sure. I found myself wishing I had a few of those pills myself ! You will not regret renting or buying this one, had a few good twists that I didn't fully see coming. | 47,130 |
1 | Perhaps the best WWE documentary | WWE really outdid themselves on this RVD bio. It does a great job of explaining RVD toning down his moveset since coming to WWE. It even talks about RVD's WCW experiance without bashing it.What sucks is the wrestlers theme music is dubbed over. But thats the case with alot of new wrestling dvd's due to copyright issues.The selection of matches are great but could have been better. From ECW it shows his matches against Jerry Lynn, Balls Bahoney, Bam Bam Bigelow, Sabu, Lance Storm and a few others. He had so many great bouts in ECW its a shame they didnt include more.His WWE matches are well selected: His matches with Christian, Jeff Hardy, Y2J and a few others.All in all his best WWE matches ARE on this 2 dics dvd set, his best ECW matches ARE NOT. It has some good ones but they left out alot but a great job anyway.I'd recommend this for any RVD or ECW fan. | 14,998 |
0 | latches are loose; not puppy-proof | This cage is not puppy-proof! The latches are too loose and the dog can jiggle them open by pawing at the two doors. We got our first cage and noticed that our puppy was out when we returned home from work the first two days in a row that we used it. I decided to put the puppy in and set the video camera. She was able to get out in 3 1/2 minutes the first time just by pawing at the cage door. Put her back in and a second time got out in under 3 minutes. I was able to exchange the cage without problem with amazon(great customer service!!!) However she was able to get out of the second cage also. The latches are too loose and jiggle open when the dog paws at the cage. | 46,897 |
1 | Love it! Feels/shoots just like a fine 35mm camera. | I have owned the Canon 10D but could never get used to the "cropped" view from the limited sensor. I barely used that camera over 3 yrs of ownership, preferring to shoot with my film Nikon. With the 5D, the full field of view is back. The "sweep" one feel in framing a picture through this camera is just marvelous. The images (with "L" lenses) are just stupendous. Arguably better than film. This is the first camera less than $6000.00 to be every bit as good as film. I highly recommend it if you are a serious amatuer or professional photographer. | 15,109 |
1 | Lover of Romance Books | I found this book very enjoyable. I was glad that they were able to come to the realization that a lie had torn them apart and true love had brought them back together again. | 41,233 |
0 | A terrible follow up | I ordered this for my five year old against the advice of other reviewers. We have all of the other Fredddi Fish, Pajama Sam, Putt Putt and Spy Fox games and my son loves them all. I felt that I should keep his collection up to date, so ordered the new PJ Sam. It's awful. Sam's mouth doesn't match the words, it takes far to long to get from location to location, and it took forever to load into the computer! My nephew, who is eight, attempted to play this with my son because he loves to play my son's games. Both got tired of it very quickly. Instead, we all played a game I had found in a store for $4.00 (Hokus Pokus Pink - a Pink Panther game) It was similar to the Humongous games and a lot of fun. I hope Atari makes some improvements and continues producing these games the way they were made before. | 24,681 |
1 | Hum Eliminator | Awesome product for the money. Cuts out 95% of the hum. Amazing. I love it and plan on buying more for other instruments. | 46,938 |
0 | Review--not! | Why is this book so prohibitively expensive? Who can afford these prices other than libraries and scholars affiliated with universities? Might there not be more of a demand for such critical studies if they were priced within the reach ordinary individuals? I would have liked to have read and owned this book but with an elitist price tag, I am effectively shut out. I cannot, therefore, render a review until (or when) my local library obtains a copy of it through ILL. | 25,875 |
1 | Another surreal twist in time | This is a good book. Murakami's writing involves detailed characters who do not always know where they are going nor who they are. The characters and environment are detailed and exquisite, making one want to visit the places written about.This book includes a sideline into a metaphysical world for the narrator, which helps to drive him and guide him. By the end of the book, typical understanding of all the events and characters may not be achieved but a sense of peace is created.When you read this book, do not expect typical Western narrative structures, details or a sense of closure. As with other Murakami books consider the leaves, on the trees in the forest. | 10,054 |
1 | Beyond Expectations | I bought this book simply to have something to read, figuring that Oprah's books are generally entertaining, if not substantial. (Granted, there are a few exceptions.) I can honestly say that I was completely floored. This book is chilling and hilarious at the same time and absolutely one of my top ten favorite books of all time. I am also convinced that it is one of the best novels written in the past decase. Dark and terribly sad, but very powerful. From the first couple of pages (in the graveyard) I was hooked.When I finished the book, I was literally quite surprised by how good it was. I love to read and have favorites in different genres, but "Fall On Your Knees" is as close to a parallel of Faulkner's "The Sound and The Fury" as I have ever seen. I was surprised that I have not heard more about Ann-Marie MacDonald, but hope to see much more of her work in the future. | 47,881 |
0 | JUNK DO NOT BUY | I purchased this item for my sons psp and what a dissappointment! After waiting more then 2 weeks for it to arrive we finally got the item only to find it is a THIN PIECE OF CLINGON PLASTIC. The worst part is that when you attempt to put it on there are millions of tiny air bubbles for which they give you a small cardboard squeege THAT DOES NOT DO ANYTHING to get the bubbles out. The more you try to get the bubbles out and handle it the worse it gets. The item did not cost a lot and you do get a soft cleaner cloth with it so i dont feel too bad but my advice is to stay away from THIS JUNK. | 6,237 |
1 | Great product, excellent value | I bought this machine on the recommendation of my sewing instructor. It is everything I wanted... easy to use, affordable yet with plenty of functionality | 39,258 |
1 | BETTER THAN CONSUMER REPORT | I bought this with the recommendations on this list. The are very good. I had bought the top rated CONSUMER REPORT phones and they they were only junk. I have been paying for consumer report for many years now, but this last problem I really wonder is the reviews are unbiased. I think that producers can buy the rating they can afford. | 42,909 |
