0 | Bad quality | This was a great player until it stopped working. It all of a sudden quit playing out of one earphone. | 7,678 |
1 | adventure movie | Thoroughly enjoyed this movie. Is one for the entire family. Scenery is wonderful, can watch it over and over again. If you are looking for a good movie that you don't have to worry about it being too worldly, you will enjoy it too. | 15,404 |
0 | Misleading Repair Manual | This repair manual claims to have 500 pages covering all Volvo models from 1990 to 1998. It has barely 200 pages and it only gives a semblance of covering those models well. The manual gives illustrations of repair function on one model, but gives none for the other models. It uses engine repair illustrations that are not even Volvo engines. There are few illustrations of repair functions of the 960 model. | 21,165 |
1 | An Awesome Book for History Buffs!! | I'm in fourth grade and this book is really good because it makes history come to life. When I got the book I had to open it and I couldn't stop reading it - it is sooooo awesome! I liked that it didn't have many words and you can concentrate on the pictures. The pictures make you feel like you are inside the book and living with the people in the pictures. The pictures are very detailed and interesting. I could look at them for hours. My favorite part was seeing life then the plague strikes! | 3,075 |
0 | Too much of a not-so-great thing | Given the size of this collection and the "critic's darling" hype sourrounding it, I had hoped for something with the same breadth and ambition as, say, the Magnetic Fields' "69 Love Songs," but it just seems to be a whole lot of the same thing.So if you like vaguely indie-country songs that are all the same mid-slow tempo, sung in what I have to assume is a deliberately off-key voice, then you will get a lifetime supply if you buy this. On the positive side, the singer is very earnest and there are some pretty good lyrics. Really, any ONE or TWO of these songs are fine.But If you want a little variety in your "alt-country," I suggest you try "Cassedega" by Bright Eyes for starters. | 10,937 |
0 | Great start, disappointing finish. | I loved the start of this book and couldn't put it down. But then it started to turn into a sort of ghosts and spirits book. The characters became unbelievable as well as the story. The ending was the worst. I too, skipped through the coma-type communications. Pity that a great story line didn't continue to the last page. | 3,922 |
1 | good book........................... | This is a very good book, because it had show you what happen can a kid be, and it told you how evil and lovely in ths world. | 19,668 |
0 | Snake People | Snake People is a low badged movie. Its a very bad movie. Doesn't make sence. This is a coproduction betweeen US and Mexico. The script is terrible. I don't recomend this movie to anyone. I gave this movie 1 star, but I can give 0 star because is one of the worse movies I ever seen. This was Boris Karloff last movie and the worst he ever filmed. | 22,859 |
0 | How Bad Can It Really Be? | "How bad?" I wondered. I can enjoy a bad movie if it seems like the film makers were at least trying. But this is the worst kind of bad. This is what happens when no-talent opportunist hacks who have no love or respect for the genre attempt to cash in on a classic which happens to be in the public domain. You see, it didn't cost them anything to steal the name or plot from Night of the Living Dead, and they knew it would be a marketable title, so they really didn't need to invest any time or effort in to making the actual film. Lazy. Insipid. An insult to genre fans everywhere. | 20,885 |
1 | Classic Bitchin' Babes | OK, I'll admit it. I bought this CD, a few years back, for the cover title, the cover art, and the song titles (including "Prisoners of Their Hairdos," "Not Bad for a Broad," and "Sensitive New Age Guys.") I thought it would either be terribly funny or the gals could really sing. A "10" on both counts. Loved this CD so much I bought all the other "Bitchin Babes" CDs. Guess that makes me a virtual Babehead. | 39,816 |
1 | Fairys, swords, evil stepmothers, war, all you could want. | A consumate master of fantasy writing begins a new series. There's a very simple way to see if you like this book. Go read the first five chapters at shadowmarch.com.You can expect a tale of fairys and swords, evil stepmothers, kidnapped rulers, invasions, betrayals, monstrous creatures roaming the hills, nightmares, magic, and the mysterious, misty Shadowline that marks the boundary between the lands of men and their inhuman enemies - and which seems to be starting to move. This is the first novel in a trilogy that is almost certain to be a great success. | 46,507 |
0 | No batteries | Coleman has discontinued this product and if your battery happens to work now, it won't in a year or two. There are no replacement batteries ANYWHERE. DON'T buy this product! | 25,151 |
0 | Not worth the money! | This item has already quit working and you cannot get an accurate measurement when it was working. If you take 2-3 measurements they are all different and not even close to the others. The tape measure is great but not the calipers. | 10,496 |
0 | Another attempt to replicate Catcher fails | Alright, I gave this book a chance. I read it 'til the end and while I admit some of the writing is damn good, Cirino needs to get his own ideas and stop replicating Salinger. In many of the sections I Just rolled my eyes, the plot was so parallel, Sam's whining and complaints were too pathetically familiar to Holden's. Cirino is still young and I suspect he can do better than this... I'd be interested in seeing more work from him after he's cut the all too obvious plagarizing. | 633 |
1 | Good, Helpful Information | This book had great information on how to live not just a vegan life but a healthy life. Each chapter talks about a different topic, but typically refers to a specific nutritional need an outlines why our bodies need it and what foods to get it from. There are charts, that include animals product (for comparison), that are extremely helpful in determining which foods have how much of what vitamin or mineral. Even my non-vegan--but health-nut--mom was intrigued by the book. This is also a great starting point for people doing initial research on becoming vegan. Downside: they don't exactly give you a diet plan or recipes, just the information you need to live a healthy vegan life. However, once you have the information and would like to find a recipe/diet book I would recommend "Skinny Bitch" and the companion recipe book. | 36,335 |
0 | not good at all... | I bought this book at the end of the semester to review for the gross anatomy shelf exam. I quickly discovered that the text is horrible, diagrams lacking, and the questions are FULL of errors. I loved BRS neuroanatomy and physiology, but this book isn't very good. I put it down after half a day of frustration and just focused on Netters (and kicked butt on the shelf). | 13,225 |
0 | "Missing items" | I recieved two large tube attachments, the kit inventory calls out, one small for breakfast sausage and one large. I have no use for two of the large tubes and cannot use half the recipes in the book I also ordered due to the missing part. | 23,030 |
1 | Great Waffle Iron | After our old waffle iron bit to dust, we bought one at a discount store at a bargin price. But it was a piece of junk. After searching the web, I found the Cuisinart WAF-R Traditional Waffle Iron. The price was good and the features sounded great, but that doesnt mean much unless it preforms. This Waffle Iron preforms as advertised. It heats up fast and turns out great waffles. The adjustable temp feature works great as does the audible sigal that waffle is ready. Let eat! | 21,432 |
1 | brilliant, quirky vocals and arrangements | Like many reviewers here, it took me a few listens to get into the groove of this CD although some hit the spot immediately, like Ghost of Stephen Foster. I think it is fair to say now though, that I am possessed by it--it's my top pick for studio music. And I have to say, the more I listen to it, the more I am absolutely impressed by this band's headstrong individualistic determination to cut their own path and make it work, damn it, and if you don't get one or two songs then too bad for you--they're there anyway!It's my understanding that this band is from N.C. and plays around there quite a bit--I sure wish they were a local Boston band because they'd garner themselves a cult following pretty quickly although I'm sure they have a huge one down there. Squirrel Nut Zippers, come up here! I, for one, want to dance to your music in person! | 18,747 |
0 | Very Dark | Dark movie, hated it. Watched 15 minutes of it then noticed the kids looked horrified so took it out broke it and threw it in the garbage. | 42,386 |
0 | Too slow | Too slow interface with too much time consumptionthe game took 6 hours to finish a random map game with no funI just played out of curiosityBut this is almost similer to the age of empire with less originalityJust adding 14 epoch does not give much funthere is not so much difference between the prehistoric and nano ageDespite the advertisementactually there is no civilization at allI think AOE 2 is much better than this game | 18,469 |
0 | Shallow and repetitive | Jean Marie Stine's book seemed very lazily thrown together. There were no samples of query letters, outlines, or book proposals included! There were only 3 pages discussing how to submit to an agent or publisher. I'm going to chuck this book and go back to "How to Write Attention-Grabbing Query and Cover Letters" by John Wood. There were no big big secrets revealed in Stine's book--the only good news is that it made me realize I already know what I have to do to publish my own self-help book, and I just have to go do it! | 9,606 |
1 | Good B-side and cleaned up title track | If you were to buy this, you'd probably be in it for the b-side. 'The Town Where I'm Livin' Now' is a nice 4-minutes-plus effort, starting with an acoustic guitar and drums, and including a descending and ascending piano line (they like to use those) at the vocal-free chorus. Nice job, and could see it as a nice addition to 'Sumday.' The cleaned-up version of 'I'm On Standby' is again a good song, with perhaps some of the atmospherics removed...still works as a straight-ahead song though...five stars because it cost $4.00 with shipping for me...lucky I guess...By the way, 'Stray Dog...' is the same version as on 'Sumday.' | 40,758 |
1 | Every classroom should get this | My 3rd graders loved this book and look at it everyday. It is very detailed and engages kids to learn more about different cultures. | 38,836 |
0 | Lost the plot | Claire McNab has lost the plot - the series started well but the story lines now seem to take second place to the inspector's private life. Carol Ashton while proclaiming a wish to stay with Sybil can't seem to pass up an oportunity to sleep with any woman that comes along. The sex scenes have become functional & unappealing. A shame. | 12,630 |
0 | A lot of nonsense on non sets | I give the director credit for trying something new. On the other hand, he could not have told the absurd story in a realistic setting. Without the artificiality of the non sets, no one would believe or accept what he had to say. The casting and acting were quite good, however. I am tempted to give the movie another star for that reason but I am too repulsed by the bleak vision of humanity presented here. The moral of the story can only be that if given power over another person, anyone will ferociously use and abuse that person. In this crowd, even the upright philosopher of the group was easily corrupted, while the Kidman character, who was portrayed as a kind of saint full of forgiveness, joined them in their depravity when she got the power. Sorry, this terrible tale has no relationship to the world I live in. I do wish critics would stop automatically anointing all stories of human degradation as art. After watching this one, I felt like I needed a long shower. | 4,403 |
0 | test leads need doctor | These test leads were the worst.the clip part that you push is so small you slip on the vinyl cover and have to make a concertedeffort to open the clip .I would not recommend this product | 517 |
1 | College item Purchase | this product is great. I really like the purple color of this backpack. I also enjoy the several pockets this backpack has so several items can fit inside it. It also is made of out of more durable material so it does not fall apart like my previous backpacks did from different companies. | 915 |
0 | LaCie Hard Drives - Fails within 2 years | In 2 years two out of my three LaCie drives have failed, the most recent being a Big Disk. It just stopped working and became inert one day. LaCie insisted that if i wanted to claim the warranty then I was not allowed to recover the data on the disk which LaCie insisted would be destroyed. If I tried to recover the data before providing them with the failed LaCie drive then the warranty would be void. LaCie confirmed they would absolutely not help me recover any data as part of their warranty. If you buy a LaCie product then make sure to also buy another hard disk from some other manufacturer so you can backup the LaCie given there is a relatively high probability the LaCie will fail | 28,242 |
1 | Very Insightful | I am just now finishing the book. It is short and sweet! I found it to be very insightful. Fr. Tom Green is a very creative and interesting individual. He really puts all of his experience into every word! | 23,881 |
0 | Failure to read History | Like most of the books concerning reparations the authors fail to read and or understand history. Once again Mr. munford fails to understand that racism etc, etc are problems of humankind (sin if you will). Focusing on whites only is just another form of racism. Even today, much like ages ago, it is people of color who either still enslave of violate the rights of women and religious minorities.Reparations remind me of the Afro-American concept of signefying: you know!! yo momma is this, yo daddy is this. Reparationists know that most whites arn't racist but to maintain white guilt and empower black Americans this is their path. I am also convinced that many Black Americans miss the days of obvious racism, it gave em something to talk or bragg about.. | 49,485 |
1 | Beckmann's theory of painting | If you are a fan of Beckmann this a must read.Beckmann goes counter to todays direction,with its empahsis on formal qualities: minimalism. He stresses content and that means subject matter.Beckmann's formal attributes come out of traditional German art.He tells you why ,he paints.He didn't have a difficult art life: his work in Germany found early acceptance.His work as an ambulance driver in WW1 scarred his vision of the world. After a period of recovery from mental problems due to the war. He led a stable life. He came to the U.S after the Nazis were seeking him in the Netherlands. He taught at the Brooklyn Museum school and Washington University in St. Louis Mo.He tried to compete with Picasso. He kept a keen eye on Pablo's work.Max still enjoys a big reputation.He never lost his visual German accent! | 4,084 |
0 | Look out for the shipping charges | When you check out, be very very careful and review your shipping charges.I was absolutely astonished that the expedited 1-3 business day charges came to $98.70!!! making the total cost $181.70The standard shipping, 3-7 business days is $35.98 (total-$118.98)The published price looks good, but the hidden costs are outrageous. | 4,821 |
0 | LOVE to bore | Love is the most gratuitous film I have ever seen.A series of incoherent and derivative scenes endlessly bore you out of your mind.If copyright could be applied to individual scenes of a film, this film would be taken to court a thousand times.The film felt like 3 hours.Even as a music clip it would still be gratuitous and boring. | 29,598 |
0 | its ok | I have a 4 year old male lab and he ate this thing in about half hour (some people were saying it lasts days, thats bs) but anyway it expensive considering how fast it was gone.......I will not be buying anymore | 16,290 |
1 | Great cleaner | Very easy to use and quick. I had borrowed one of these steam cleaners before but since the price was less than $150 I decided it was easier just to buy one. | 9,361 |
0 | Supremely disappointing | This bleak and dreary film lacks everything enjoyable about my all-time favorite series and left me with a dull ache in my belly. Aside from the brief wedding scene there is no warmth, no humor, no interesting locales or character interaction and the villian, who seems to have three-fourths of the film's dialogue, is neither menacing nor interesting, just an arrogant jerk. I wanted more Worf and Riker!!! There was a lot of action, but it amounted to nothing more than a prolonged space battle differing from episdodes only in that it was much louder and considerably longer. In contrast to the exotic and colorful settings of the Star Wars films, the masterful action sequences of the Matrix, and the dynamic characters and villians of the X-Men, this dead in the water bomb makes Star Trek look tired, uninspired and down for the count. I am praying for a miracle . . . | 14,789 |
1 | I Would Use This to Teach My Beginning Course | I teach Intro to Computers at a local community college. I wish this was our textbook! It's easy to read and comprehend without getting too techie. The range of topics covered is incredible. Mr. Miller keeps the explanations simple, sometimes humorous without the clutter you find in the Dummies books, and layed out in a format that is easy on the eyes and the brain. I recommend this book to my beginning students to complement what we cover in the Intro class. | 23,151 |
0 | New & Improved.......what a joke! | If this is considered a new & improved product, I would sure hate to see what the older version was like. This is my first experience with the diaper genie and DEFINITELY my last. In a matter of 6 months, I purchased 3 diaper genies as they have all broken.After reading all the rave reviews on the Diaper Genie, I expected more. I gave in to the idea of living with the continual odor that escapes everytime you open the lid. Yet at a friends house I realized there is bigger & better out there, not just life with the diaper genie. I finally came to my senses and switched to a BETTER diaper system (the diaper champ) and am much happier!!!I have several friends that are expecting their first child and I am steering them AWAY from the diaper genie as best as I can. | 18,688 |
1 | Good headphones | Arrived in good condition and provides a clean crisp sound. Good buy.These are quality output and have comfortable fit, the only thing that could be better is if they were lighter, but they really are nice and not much more than the one's sold at bargain basement outlets. | 40,548 |
1 | I LIKE THE ANIMORPHS!!! | I LOVE THE ANIMORPHS BOOKS MORE THEN ANY OTHER BOOKS THET I READ! I LOVE ANIMORPHS BEACUS THE BOOKS HAVE EVERYTHING THET IS GOOD. I MEEN THET THEY HAVE EVERYTHING LIKE: 1)HOMOR 2)ADVENTUR 3)THRILL AND MORE. I HOPE THET THE ANIMORPHS WEEL CONTINUO AND WEEL BE MY FEVORTE BOOKS.P.S IN ISRAEL THERE ARE'NT MANY ANIMORPHS BOOKS (WE JUST HAVE BOOKS UNTIL NUMBER 8), SO IF SOME ONE CAN MAKE THET ISRAEL WEEL HAVE MORE BOOKS I'L BE HAPPY. | 23,812 |
0 | Very small, but well & speedily delivered | I suppose it might have been obvious to one familiar with product names, but a description of size and purpose would have been helpful in making a selection. First to arrive, and well-packaged, nevertheless the items were not as envisioned when ordering. Fortunately, I have relatives with babies on the way, so now I have gifts! | 3,257 |
0 | I don't get it | I read the instructions. Hooked everything up but can't get it to work with Vista. It really can't be that difficult can it? | 10,620 |
1 | Pet Talk | As an animal lover and pet owner, I found Carol's book very insightful. She offers a sweet and loving way to regard and communicate with our inter-species companions: our pets. | 41,694 |
0 | It wiggles, it tips, and it stands too high | After purchasing a laptop table more than a year ago for myself, I purchased this one for my wife. It is not as stable as the others we have seen and used, and at the lowest setting it is 6 inches above my waist (I am over 6'3"). My wife is 5'8" and can only use this stand when sitting on our (elevated) bed. If she jacks an office chair high enough to type on this stand, her feet can barely reach the floor. If they simply drilled the pin holes all the way to the bottom of the vertical cylinder this tray could be used by people as short as 5'10". A shorter cylinder would be even better. | 7,323 |
0 | don Quichot blu-ray | This is a nice production with lots of good, sometimes excellent, dancing. The experience is ruined by blurry, fuzzy video. I have all ballet blu-rays issued thus far and am familiar with the problems of recording ballet. I have never seen such poor video on a blu-ray. Arthaus should include some aspirin with each copy. You'll need it half way through the ballet.Don Quichot [Blu-ray] | 4,595 |
1 | great relief! | I am by no means an experienced person when it comes to yoga. I enjoy it but am still a beginner. I originally started to enjoy the relaxation benefits that the meditation had to offer. I occassionally have issues with my lower back and felt like part of the problem was my hips so I searched and found this video. I have not stopped using it since it came it. I really enjoy the stretches. They are not hard, but they are very effective. I wouldn't say my pain is gone...as I have only had this for a couple of weeks but I do feel more limber and stretched after doing this video and feel a little better each day. The video doesn't have a lot of thrills and some music would be nice, but I bought it for the movements and am very happy with the product. | 19,853 |
1 | Amazing | This cd got me hooked to hardcore the first time i listened to it, Delta 9 works at this place in chicago where i buy my records, called Another level he actually orders the hardcore section of the store, but he isn't there all the time. :( but anyway if you are new to the scene and just down right sick of the trance/house scene this is definately something for you to check out. | 29,623 |
1 | super slick | Probally the best lube we have ever found.It seems to have a lot more staying power than other lubes.you won't be disapointed by this product. | 33,281 |
1 | Extended my range | Used with a WPS54GU2 router. Installation took about 6 mins and seems to work transparently with this router. Installation distance from the router needs to be reviewed and determined to assure max. thruput. great installation options with the electric outlet plugs, size and shape. | 17,263 |
0 | Perhaps the worst movie since Plan 9 from outerspace! | I wanted to hang myself in the theater watching this waste of time, effort and cash. The dragons looked great.. the effects were awesome, the dialog and story was so bad I expected Ed Wood to rise from his grave in protest ofsuch an awful mockery of entertainment being allowed to sully the medium that he so beloved. I give this movie one star under protest! as there is no zero star rating. | 26,996 |
1 | Authentic powerful blend of traditional songs and creativity | Picked this CD up at Wupatki National Monument out west. The songs are based on traditional Hopi songs but with embellishments such as flute and occasional background nature sounds. A great mix of drumming, chanting, rattlework. Definately easier for most westerners to listen to than powwow songs. A bit more tribal than the latest Carlos Nakai but generally in that genree. Sounds somewhere between Nakai and Douglas Blue Feather. Really suprisingly great stuff. | 14,014 |
0 | Check out another guide book instead | I lived in Italy from August 2003 to August 2004 and before leaving I bought this guidebook. I would have been better off with no guidebook at all. The information in Rough Guide Italy (e.g., prices for hostels, opening/closing times for attractions, etc.) was consistently wrong to the point that I questioned whether anyone had attempted to verify what was printed in the last ten years. Rough Guide, in an attempt to differentiate itself from Lets Go and Lonely Planet, spends a lot of time on "off the beaten track" areas. This is generally good but it seems that in some cases cities do no merit the praise heaped upon them (i.e., Rough Guide does this solely in order to offer something different). Anyway, the point is that I had the opportunity to use Rough Guide countless times over the year. The historical information is not bad but its practical value is seriously lacking. Rough Guide, if you're listening it would be in your best interest to update your stuff! | 26,216 |
1 | Great Buy | This lady is clearly educated in this field. Mor importantly she knows how to educate you, I definetly recommend this purchase to anyone that is trying to lose a few pounds and/or get in shape. | 7,653 |
1 | If I had it my way.... | I would put this book into the hands of every girl I know!!I have been hungry for so long. I have been in and out of hospitals and treatment centers. I have had Anorexia for over 10 years. I have read EVERYTHING out there.What I loved about this book was that she told the truth. Her truth. And she was brave to put it out there and even though she wasn't anorexic, I related to her truth.By the way, I am not usually a fan of self help books but this one is different. It inspired me very much. | 36,608 |
1 | MUST GET CD | This CD is so awesome. The songs on here touched my heart and really identified with things that I go through. "Shifting Sand" is such an awesome song that will touch anyone whose ever struggled with their personal walk. What an encouragement this CD is. A MUST GET for any Christian trying to make it in this crazy world! | 34,182 |
0 | what happened to the hard case? | ...I'm so dissappointed in CaseLogic for discontinuing the hard cases. They were great, a HARD cover with rubberized coating and actual cd case style holders inside (that you pop out with your finger by pressing the center). Somebody could have sat on it and it would've been fine... | 2,532 |
1 | Good stuff | I use this item with P90x and I get a great workout with it. I'm pretty fit and this seems to be just right. I do wonder if it is shorter than the bands used in the P90x videos though. I don't think it's possible to do squat x presses with them the way it's done with bands on the P90x video but I can slip the door attachment under the bottom hinge of a door to make it work. The door attachment, by the way, is very cool. I don't think it was ever intended to go under a door but it fits very securely on all other sides. Like I said, if I need tension from the bottom I just stick it below a hinge. I haven't had it long enough to report on the longevity but I have been using it for a few weeks and I don't see any signs of it tearing or wearing out. I definately don't have anything negative to say about the product. | 7,590 |
1 | a good code | This cologne has a very pleasant, masculine aroma. After looking for it locally & online, I bought it at Amazon at a very reasonable price. I recommend you try it! | 39,738 |
1 | Solid Fog Lights | Great little lights. Nicely put together and the beams are perfect for fog and other inclement weather - keeps the light out of other driver's eyes. Easy to aim, and the wiring harness is well put together. The lens has a cool appearance as well | 49,134 |
1 | information-packed, a popsicle for the mind | i found this book very interesting and helpful. I never had much luck finding a complete and accurate history of the band, but this book put a fix on that, while being enjoyable rather than tedious at the same time. The only problem with it is that it could stand a few more pictures! A must, expecially for those who don't know much about radiohead. | 28,268 |
1 | Beatles? | Why anyone would equate this footwear to anything the Beatles wore is puzzling. I would think anyone believing they are recreating a 60's thing with these were never themselves fashionable in the 60's. As I remember the Beatles wore a lower cut, straight heeled boot with elastic in the sides - essentially a slip-on boot. At any rate, these boots are perfect for DRESS occasions, and possibly can be paired with well tailored designer jeans. Note: Wranglers and Levis will not make the cut! When you wear them, they will be the first thing the ladies notice...and the guys too! Wear them with confidence!!! | 3,585 |
1 | wonderful | ~I think he is my most favourite doll than all other dolls purchased in Amazon - I think reason why is that he is rare as i could not find him at any stores, even toy store. I prefer to but in person as I want to see them in person but he comes in perfect condition! | 37,985 |
1 | Fan-Freaking-Tastic! | My local library maintains a "recently deceased authors" display and when I was reading the obit on Robert Ludlum, I glanced over and saw the Hugh Holton display. Chicago police procedural-looked decent- picked up Windy City. Wow! what a rush! A procedural with "serial killer novel" moments of genuine horror and a golden age detective murder scheme. The murders are done in the style of various mysteries by some of the novel's characters. Sounds like a plotline from a Christie/Queen/Carr style puzzle book of the 30s but I don't recall them ever using it. Cole and his detectives are believable well developed characters. The villains are a truly evil couple who could hold their one against a certain cannibal named Hannibal in the creepy category. An excellent page-turner which has led me to Holton's other books. | 47,846 |
0 | Fits | This fits mySPT SU-4010 Ultrasonic Dual-Mist Warm/Cool Humidifier with Ion Exchange Filteras it supposed to, but lasts for only a couple weeks. Maybe this is all that is to be expected with Chicago water, but I'm constantly cleaning slime and deposits from the inside of the humidifier base and mist path, sometimes only a week after replacing with a new filter... However, I don't know of any alternative in terms of an ion exchange filter replacement. | 1,037 |
1 | gorgeous | I got this for my aunt for christmas one year, just on a whim, and every year since she's always made absolutely certain that I'm getting it for her again. She loves it. The thing I like most about it is that it's got a new photo every time you flip a page... I hate the kind that only have, like, 5 pictures total in the whole thing. I suppose my only caution would be that having so many great pics leaves less room for actual writing space... so if you're one of those people who need to plan out ever last little 15 minutes of time between 6 am and midnight... this might not be best for you. ;] | 31,567 |
0 | Dangerous Husband | I was very disappointed with this book especially after all the hype I had seen about it. It could have been written as a short story, as it was very repetitive and got more and more nonsensical in each chapter. Would not recommend this book to anyone. | 45,599 |
0 | fell short | by the looks of the first single i thought this was a sure hit, but it fell a little short. the only hot singles are the ones with jay-z. sean paul collabo, missy and big boi were half assed! the signs tracks were cheesy. tracks me myself and i was cool. doesn't matter cuz it'll still be the heavy hitter this week, but i would download it rather than pick it up if i were you, but pick up that monica! | 8,178 |
1 | Works Great | I use this all the time. It is perfect with my GPS. I would definitely recommend this product and have done so many times. | 13,885 |
0 | Not for baby-preschool | It may be a perfectly nice book but whoever filed this in the category "Baby-Preschool" was hallucinating. It's a nice dense text-only non-illustrated book maybe for your 12 year old. | 26,741 |
0 | Don't Buy! | This the worse applicance I have ever purchased. I was please with the performance when it worked. I purchased a different model that burned out in less then one year. I returned it to the company and they replaced it with this model. It burned out in less then one year. | 23,920 |
1 | Vo-Toys Latex Stuffed Gigantic Purple Luny Dog Toy | He is quite a conversation piece. We were hunting for a much smaller toy of the same kind. Never knew it would be so big. To large for our little dog to play catch with but it is loved anyway. | 46,449 |
0 | What to freak out about when you're expecting | My mom gave me this when I first got pregnant, and I dutifully read it every month for the first half of my pregnancy.Not too surprisingly, I felt worried about all the tests and complications described, guilty because I didn't manage to follow their diet perfectly, and found myself anxiously awaiting the onset of the pregnancy side effects described. I also thought the tone was pretty patronizing.I stopped reading it about 3-4 months ago and since then have felt great, have a healthy pregnancy and much less anxiety. | 34,096 |
0 | smelled bad | i bought this trench coat and was hoping it wasn't a cheap knockoff. i guess u get what u pay for when it comes to trench coats. when it arrived, it smelled really bad. like a cross between cat urine and dirty musty basement. on top of that, this place never refunded my money. avoid buying from them. i know i will from now on | 26,093 |
0 | AAA performance stinks | The AAA batteries that come with this unit have awful performance. They do not hold a charge for very long at all. I used them in my MP3 player and only received about 4 hours of play time versus 10 hours with regular alkaline AAA batteries. Also, one AAA battery failed to charge about 20 cycles and another failed after about 30 cycles. | 43,771 |
1 | Baby-Get It On | As can happen, even though the album is good, I love it for only one song, Baby-Get It On. This song makes me want to sing and dance, and uh, get it on. It shakes the blues right off of me. Rock on! | 25,463 |
1 | An Oprah book that is actually uplifting! | It's about time Oprah picked a book that is a pleasure to read. Her books are so depressing--rape, childhood abuse, depressed women, oppressive men...ad nauseum. I read this book way before Oprah chose it and loved it. It's gotten to the point for me--if Oprah picks it--I won't read or buy it. What happened Oprah? This is a book about a strong woman in a man's world. True she is looking for her "lost love" but if you ignore that part, it's a great read. | 20,052 |
0 | wokred for onw day only | It worked the first day, then the laser quit. The wheel and finger pads work, but I can't navigate. New batteries, checked drivers, etc. but no reference to this situation. Darn. | 7,750 |
1 | Dragon Ball: Curse of the Blood Rubies | Excellent item! This is really an amazing item that anybody could buy for their very own personal time and pleasure. | 30,139 |
0 | Who edited this? | I bought this at a used book store for a buck; and that goes to show that you get what you pay for. I, too, went through the book with a red pen and edited the misspellings, fractured usage and ambiguous sentences. The editing disasters were so egregious that it took away from a relatively interesting story. How did this ever get published in the first place? | 35,539 |
1 | Satisfied with my purchase. | I got this book around Xmas and haven't yet finished reading it, but so far I'm extremely happy with my purchase: the contents are extremely up-to-date, and the explanations are kept simple, friendly. I've been using books like Real Time Rendering for a while, but these are more "reference" texts... Core Tech & Algorithms is a 900-page textbook, and its goal is clearly to help you understand techniques, not to try to squeeze as many techniques as possible in the smallest space.Still, the book delivers complete tutorials on all of today's general algorithms (portals, BSPs, IK, it's all here), and many all-time classics (from Atari to Zelda, etc.). I'd recommend it to people who'd like a textbook-tutorial approach: you'll understand each and every technique Mr. Sanchez teaches here. I wish the book was longer, and more techniques were added in... a chapter on Audio and another on Physics seem somewhat lacking to me. | 35,601 |
0 | Limp and Lacking Substance | Surely one of the biggest disappointments in recent years after hearing such critical praise. The Strokes play sort of amalgam of late 70's and early 80's punk and downtown rock but with little grasp of wit, melodic sense, or dynamics. Sure, it sounds rough and tough on the surface, but there just isn't enough musicianship here to provide any ongoing interest. They will have a few big singles and then fade into ... ruin. The best thing these guys could do would be to take five years off, hone their chops, and see if they could write better songs. Without the lead singer's family name, they would be a mere footnote on the NYC club scene. | 37,411 |
0 | Not applicable to most girls in gangs | This book is, in large part, a result of the author's dissertation. In an attempt to try to get something published and/or tenure, she compiled descriptive information about gangs in St. Louis and Columbus. While it may be interesting to a few in academia, this book offers no practical value to the gang problems we face everyday. Nor can it be applied to prevention/intervention programs in other locales. | 7,603 |
0 | Warning: NOT for children | Although this movie has no rating, (and why is that?) I would say it is the equivalent of a PG-13. The film contains quite a bit of violence and violent themes. War scenes. Guns firing. Man falling off cliff including hitting the ground. And the scene that made me turn it off showed a close up of Young Indiana stabbing a man including close-up of knife going in and out of his stomach. Parents beware. "Not rated" does NOT mean it didn't deserve one! | 3,355 |
1 | A Walk in The Sun | One of the great war films of all time, and almost entirely overlooked. Watching it is like spending an afternoon traveling with a regular army combat group with whom you soon become personally involved. This depiction of lightly equipped WWII volunteer and draftees surviving a landing and marching inland to take a bridge and farmhouse is, chapter and verse, as true to life as scripted films get. What faces these men, and those left to come forward and lead after losses and breakdowns, quietly and gracefully illustrates the real strength of Americans in uniform - without a hint of jingoism, personal "glory," or patriotic fanfare. Just a company of men on a mission, unsure of what's going on around them, taking unpredictable damage, meeting obstacles, and relying their own collective determined inertia to overcome them. | 4,143 |
0 | Let's say "baby steps". | A _very_ basic book. I bought the book in a hurry, and suffered for it. The book claims to contain valuable information for both beginners and intermediate users. I had only poked at Access a couple of times, and found myself pretty much beyond the scope of the book. I would, however, recommend this book for absolute beginners, with no knowledge of Access at all. | 19,684 |
1 | Great item | This wrap is pretty good. It works well and keeps out moisture and other outside influences. We use it to wrap all of our furniture before taking it to storage. It has worked well so far. My only qualm is that it can often be difficult for someone who hasn't used it before to wrap things. Jsut like regular cling wrap, it can sometimes stick to itself an be hard to get off of the roll. other than that it's perfect. | 48,795 |
1 | Voice of My Island | After meeting Stephen at a pub in Scotland once he finished singing, I had to buy this CD! I continue to listen to it on a regular basis, as his music brings me one step closer to the misty isle. | 26,991 |
0 | Not recommended | I have owned a McLane edger for about 5 years now and have worn out the original edger blade and one replacement (after market) blade. I could not find another after market blade at the local stores so I ordered these blades from amazon. I must say that when these blades arrived I was very suprised at the quality. All three of these blades together are not as heavy as the after market blade I replaced. I installed one of the new blades and edged the walk as I normally do and I believe all three of the McLane blades will not last as long as one of the after market blades. I am very dissapointed with these OEM blades and will buy after market blades in the future. I would not recommend this product. | 24,872 |
1 | I'm not a Dave Barry fan, but enjoyed this immensely | I'm one of those people who doesn't admire Dave Barry's columns all that much. I smile at a few things, but he often seems too over-the-top for me. Which is what makes my reaction to this book so surprising: I really liked it! Barry shows a subtlety here I didn't know he had in him. The book's plot and the situations his characters get themselves into are utterly absurd, and Barry seems to understand that this in itself is funny. For that reason, I agree with other reviewers who noted that this book reads a lot like Carl Hiassen's stuff.If you are a Dave Barry fan, expect this book to be a little more understated than you're used to. If you're not a Dave Barry fan, give this work of his a try--you might be as surprised as I was. | 27,988 |

0 | Edible but not delicious | I've tasted worse things but I would not buy this again. Dull flavor. Does not satisfy bread craving for the gluten free. | 31,418 |
0 | Mambo Mouth is weak | Mambo Mouth was the worst John Leguizamo movie I have ever seen. It fails to display Leguizamo's outstanding acting ability, showcased best in The Pest. You're better off just getting The Pest, it's great. | 8,991 |
0 | Maybe I just wasn't in the right mood... | I bought this movie because I really liked Shanghai Triad (which also starred Gong Li). Unfortunately, I was disappointed - Emperor and Assassin is really more like a Shakespearean play than a movie.By that I mean that the plot, staging, and dialogue are all very contrived. It's more like watching a very long play than a movie. You see the characters, and you can understand what's going on and why they're doing what they're doing, but the kind of emotional involvement with the characters that you get with a movie never happened for me. The characters all just seemed very one-dimensional... | 6,717 |

1 | Packed with important insights and fun memoirs | Matt Gronening's Best Music Writing 2003 compiles the fourth, latest volume in the series. From a surprising survey of Morissey's most devoted fans - heterosexual Latinos - to the real roots of Detroit rhythm n blues music, this is packed with important insights and fun memoirs musicians will relish. | 12,292 |
1 | The Sly Fox Gets Revenge | If you enjoy watching films in which arrogant people get their comeuppance, you might enjoy this one.Paul Newman deftly shows how an astute, calculating "avenger" can turn the tables on those who have hurt his business and a dear friend. Sally Fields gives a credible performance as a self-absorbed, "champion of truth" journalist who's oblivious to the impact of her stories on people's lives and livelihood. Wilford Brimley is at his best when he "reads the riot act" to each one of the "culprits" in the climactic confrontation scene, and, in doing so, ties together the loose ends of the film's storyline.While the movie lacks the action (and pace) of many popular films today, it rewards the thoughtful, patient viewer who appreciates watching a carefully executed revenge. It's one of my all-time favorites. I've seen this film about a half dozen times over a period of years and still enjoy it as much today as I did when I first saw it on the big screen. | 305 |
1 | The Guys Are Gods | The male body and especially the face have never been so erotically photographed. And this entry outshines the rest. The main attraction is the faces, I would say, as they reveal a sensuality, sometimes French, sometimes Italian, that seems to have been bred out of the American male. It is fascinating to see these hunky European males so relaxed in poses that have been made famous by 50s pinups like Diana Dors, yet without any sense of shame or hint of cheapness or vice. The macho innocence in their expressions, at times confused, annoyed or even bored, adds to the fun. I do not know if women are buying these DVDs and calendars in droves. I suspect it is gay guys, but I maintain that not since Greece has the male body been presented so matter-of-factly as part human, and part divine. | 21,841 |
1 | Great! | I've had this Italian charm bracelet for two years now and it is still going strong. I don't wear it every day but I wear it often enough to say that it holds up well. It doesn't pinch the skin on my wrist like other Italian charm bracelets have in the past. It's easy to switch out the links. Don't hesitate to get yourself one! | 9,181 |
