"HIS CHILD"
ENJOYED VERY MUCH. THIS BOOK WAS TYPICAL OF DELORES' BOOKS. IT KEEPS YOU ON EDGE THROUGHOUT WAITING TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS NEXT. I LOOK FORWARD TO HER NEXT BOOK.

Poor and boring guide
I was surprised by the quality of this guide as I have previously purchased "The Vice guide to sex, drugs and rock & roll" and it was an awesome book.This guide is composed by bad and short articles that lead to nowhere, I really don't think this is up to the quality I am used to from this guys.

Barely 2 stars
I have read all the other reviews which I agree with, but what REALLY annoyed me was the constant use of the word "as", instead of "since", "because"or even a different sentence construction. Did he have a computer program do the actual writing ? I checked how often Archer used subject, verb, comma and "as". It was almost every other page - it was so glaring I had trouble reading, and THAT'S disregarding the idiot plot. I now wonder why I even gave it 2 stars.

Ripped and blotchy
My product arrived with the leather ripped and two black blotches on it.After I immediately reported the item for its defects, I have still had no word or offer of reimbursement or replacement.What a waste of time and money.

Obsessed with Threads
Started out great, but became too obsessed with Threads and not in plot, so stopped reading. This book was on the NPR Best Fantasy list, and I don't understand why.

Fun and addictive
Reminicent of "Harvest Moon" and "The Sims". This strait-forward playing game is intuitive and amusing. The characters and quirky elements are super cute. The lack of any definitive end or levels keep you playing week after week. The real-time element is an interesting twist for a console game. Typical nintendo fare. No shoot'em up action.

Bobby Brown - A Legend In It's Self
Bobby Brown has the New-Jack Swing type of sound that brings people to the dance floor! Bobby Brown needs to make it to the top once again just like he did with this album...it's his perogative!

You'll regret this purchase!
I was so happy to find this recording in stock. Like another reviewer, I remembered this very version fondly from my childhood. I chose to believe the sound quality couldn't possibly be as bad as another reviewer said, but boy, was I wrong! To hear Mr. Hales terrific voice, we had to crank the volume up almost to our new Tweeter car stereo's maximum (though it was optimized for narration). But then the symphony comes in, and your eardrums bleed. It's horrendous. In the end we had to shut it off because our son found it too painful. I was really disappointed he missed out on this great story, but maybe Gramma still has the album. Oh well. :(

Probably the worst submarine movie ever
What a piece of crap. No matter how big fan to Star Trek a captain is, there is no way he can talk a subordinate like a ten years old boy who needs to understand the chain of command in the navy.

Excellet!
I use this to redistribute my TiVo output to all the TV's in the house. From any TV you tune to channel 91 and you see one TiVo, Channel 95 for the other. This allows me to leave the TiVo's in the living room and watch them from any bedroom. (I use IR senders to send remote control signals back to the TiVo.)This modulator is inexpensive and works great!

Print is Way Too Small
Good friends had mentioned getting a Chronological Bible. This one is good, however you need to have very powerful reading glasses or the eyesight of a 20-year old person. I returned it, and purchased the [...] from Amazon.

Fairly descent for the price
I think I paid $39 for this fan after I returned the Lasko (unbelievably cheaply made, missing parts) I originally purchased. I was only looking for something to make white noise but as other people have said, this thing is pretty powerful on high. It's surprisingly quiet given the amount of air that it moves. I almost considered returning it for a box fan that would be louder since sound was the original intention but this wound up working prefect after some trial nights. I still feel like almost $40 is pricy for it, I've only had it for a month so I can't attest to it's longevity.

Disappointment
My husband is a collector and this was a gift I bought him and I am so very disappoited! The product was jammed into a US postal box and because of that the box that the collectable comes in is now all banged up on the edges! Therefor now the collector value is now lower because of the damage. The person who sold it really should know better how to package a collectable and not try saving money by jamming it in to a box that does not properly fit! On top of it I paid for shipping! And thats what I got! That is the last time I order any collectable from here!Hot Wheels Classics Snake & Mongoose VW Drag Bus Race Set

Not what I expected
I purchased the Camco tastpure water filter to filter the water that I use to wash my cars at home. While this was not the intended use by the manufacturer, I felt that filtered water was filtered water. At my house I have "hard water" outside and wanted this filter to clear the water while washing the car. It didn't work as well as I had intended.

The most famous failure ever?
This movie, and the series that followed it, must have been spectacular failures, in the best sense, because now, twenty years later, you can still see clips from it in those commercials starring Howie Long and Terri Hatcher. In other words, the special effects were great fifteen to twenty years before computer effects were invented. Admittedly, this was its best feature, the effects, but the story is well told too, and deserves to be seen. The reason, by the way, that the series was cancelled was not because of low ratings, but because of the high budget. Galactica deserved a five-year run, but fans will have to be happy with this movie until the powers that be finally get going and film some new material involving Galactica, which they've been talking about doing for years and years.

E is incredible
I can't believe how well put together this score is, as well as the two tracks that E sings in.Track number 9 is great. Has a perfect somber, desolate feel to it. Contrasted with track 14 which is uplifting and hopeful. I love scores to soundtracks and this soundtrack is filled with incredible songs. Tracks 9 and 14 are some of the best I have ever heard.

TSTL Heroines ...
I bought the new Kindle version of this book. Believe it or not, I just started reading Julie Garwood and have liked her work for the most part. I loved The Prize and The Bride. Lions Lady was okay. I did not like Ransom at all. The heroines both seemed weak to me and the heros were always in control and getting the better of the heroines. The heoines never stuck to their guns on any issue and there were several badly needed "hero grovels" scenes missing. Honestly, I didn't feel the love. Oh well. I'm thinking of trying the Secret just to fill in Judith and Ian's story, but I'm not sure I'm interested anymore.

A Great Book, But For The Advanced Artist.
The book "Fantastic Figures: Ideas & Techniques Using the New Clays," by Susanna Oroyan is a great book on advanced techniques in clay. However, for a beginner like me it was a bit overwhelming. So I am placing it on my book shelf and hope to be skilled enough to use it some day. As the dolls in it are great examples of OOAKmanship!

Piece of metal "clanging around" in the unit
I got the unit and it was nicely packed. I unwraped it and immediately heard a piece of metal moving around inside the unit. You can carefully press the blue-top of the unit to reveal the inside and I moved the unit around until the metal fell out. It was a small piece that looked "unnecessary."I added this switch to my existing 4 port router and it is working great. I have the router in the basement attached to my cable modem and the switch in my attic attached via a 50-60 ft cable (I don't know the exact length since I manufacture my own cables). I have had the 4 port router for about 1 year now and it is flawless. This switch has allowed me to add Internet access into just about every room in my house.Other great feature about this switch is that it was truly plug-and-play. I attached one end of my cable into an available port of the router, the other end into the switch and _presto_ Internet access via the switch. Manual was unnecessary :-)

Only thing better than seeing these Plays is reading them
Plays of the Holocaust: An international Anthology, edited by Elinor Fuchs is a book which is one that has been found not only provocative, but also inciteful. It contains the stories of Eli, a Mystery play of the Suffering of Isreal. This story was one of the best, written by Nelly Sashs. Also other stories include, Mister Fugue or Earth Sick, Aushwitz, Replika, Ghetto, and Cathedral of Ice. A book well worth reading, and something that will keep you up at night as well. Prepare to be not only horrified and disgusted, but also entertained by this wonderful piece of literature. It also includes a short introduction from Elinor Fuchs herself.

The River STYX Leads to another crappy album
While listening to wasted piece of plastic, I thought more good could come from producing latex condoms than what was put on this CD. Tommy Shaw tries way too hard to rock with his take on so many political issues no one cares about anymore. Quit bitching and moaning about society and write songs about what make rocks and roll exciting: sex and drugs.On another note, Gowen, Sucherman, and Burtnik should form their own identies and continue on without the likes of sappy DeYoung, predictable Shaw, and the aging J.Y.

cheap watch serves its purpose
needed a watch for work cause my last one was stolen. needed something cheap and inexpensive, but from a reliable company. it was either this or a timex, ive had nothing from good experiences from casio from when i was a kid and found this to be the cheapest here. its small and looks kinda cheap, but for under $20 cant expect much else. ive used it daily for a month now and its held its own. im a meter reader for a major utility company and this watch has seen rain recently with 50* weather and sunny 80* all in one month and it still working fine. ill be happy as long as it lasts me 3 months.

It's really good. The best are they lyrics.
I went into the music store with the intention to buy one CD but I ended up buying Jewel instead. i didn't even know one of her songs. I enjoyed it. I almost got offended to the lyrics for "Pieces of You" but then I payed attention. She's a talented poet/writer/singer.

The title may be a little misleading as you might think it takes one car and does several in depth how to's on the modification.... Not the case here but a great book that discusses many of the modifications and how they work and the result of the mod.Get it you will read it cover to cover if you love Miatas.

Very Disappointed
If you believed the company hype behind this umbrella, you'd think this was the best umbrella ever. I wanted to like this product and was willing to pay more for a quality umbrella. The Metro model I bought though just didn't hold up. What happened? The Velcro on the closure strap came off, the threads in the understructure gave way, the plastic tips came off the ends so I had to manually put them back on, with my hands full, in the rain of course, and finally, one of the elastic straps just plane ripped.I called customer service and they said they would fix it if I sent it back AND included $10. $10? No thanks. After reading the other reviews and seeing that this wasn't an isolated incident, I'll take that money and buy a competitor's umbrella. I expected years of use out of an expensive umbrella and this is just like an umbrella you'd buy at your local drugstore, maybe worse.

Multi-channel audiophiles beware!!!
The music is great and consistent with whatever fans of Jacintha are used to. But be advised to check the underside of the SACD under very bright light -- if you notice an uneven colourisation in a pattern similar to that of a water blotch, do take the trouble to test all three layers of this SACD: the CD layer, the SACD stereo layer, and the SACD multi-channel layer. Even though my copy has been replaced three times (!!!), the results are still the same -- the multi-channel layer has playback problems for the last three to five tracks. It is probably a factory problem for which purchasers should have the right to a refund. The other two layers work fine.

There should be a law against incomplete MMORPGs
Why did I let myself spend $50 on this game?! ARGH! I've been playing for 2 weeks now, and there is downtime aplenty, bugs, no maps, and item disappearance galore. They even have an item replacement policy on the homepage it happens so much. I am so completely disgusted with this game. Star Wars Galaxies had problems, but there was something to *DO*. There are ACRES of non-content, and server lag will have your characters and MOBS rubber-banding all over.. And I have a fast cable modem. Further, when trying to engage MOBs, you have to chase the thing for 15 feet before you finally attack, usually in the middle of a camp. You never have any idea where you are, there are no maps, no locate "/loc" coordinate system, no "/where" to find NPC's.. I HATE THIS GAME! GIMME MY MONEY BACK!!

Didn't work for me.
I bought this trap along with the Havahart double door trap for mice. Tried baited and un-baited. The other trap caught the tiniest mice consistently, this one still hasn't caught a single mouse, even when placed in the same place as the other trap. It may be slightly more involved to set but the Havahart mouse trap works very well.

This bra is great! It is extrememly comfortable and looks great under clothes, even tight shirts. I have had several of these bras for over a year and they are holding up well. I recommend only washing in cold water on ultra delicate cycle. I use The Laundress Lady Delicate Wash - 16 fl. oz..

My Advice? Buy This Player!
I recently reviewed the Panasonic RQ-SX67V. I was very disappointed with that cassette player! This one, however, which I found at the going out of business sale of Service Merchandise, is really very good and what I was looking for. Play a cassette, shake it hard, and not one skipped beat! I'm very pleased! The price listed on Amazon is what I paid at the sale, which I think is a good price....

Burning the Midnight Oil to Finish this Book.
Dorcas Good writes her account of the Salem Witch Hysteria as a catharsas for the evil she suffered during the trial. Dorcas was only 4 years old when she, along with her mother, was arrested and accused of witchcraft in Salem, Mass. The little girl sufferered unimaginable abuse by her captors and even people close to her. Through it all she managed to survive the ordeal though she watched her mother taken to the gallows. At first I was a little confused at the style of writing. The writing is that of an adult and not a small child. Once I realized that Dorcas was a young women by the time she managed to put her story on paper, it all fell into place. This is not a pleasant read; for it deals with the subject of child abuse and evil. The ending is a surprise that leaves you contemplating the story of Dorcas Good for days to come.

Fell Apart
I do appreciate the quick response from this company when complaining about the product and I was able to get my money back without a problem. I got this for my husband for Valentine's Day, but the moment he opened the box and pulled it out, it fell apart. When he went to pull out one of the four removable padded braces (one of the pieces that you put your watch on)...as he pulled that out, the whole turntable came out (the part that your watch would be spinning on)...it appeared the glue they used to hold the whole thing in place just didn't hold up. And when he tried the other side, the same thing happened. It was obvious this was a piece of junk, so we returned it. I should have known the price was too good to be true.

Slednecks Rocks!
My girlfriend is ready to burn this DVD because she's seen it about 4 or 5 times.It rocks!Unbelievable scenes: Cliff jumping, helicopter sledding, 200foot jumps, jumps over ski chalets, mountain climbs in Iceland, the world's first Ski Doo backflip, and much much more. All to an obnoxious new-rock soundtrack that fits this video to a tee. Could've edited out the dippy MTV girl in one segment. After a guy crashes trying to jump over a ski lift, her insightful comment: "All Bad! All Bad! OH OH OH!!!" Well, duhhhhhhh......If you have any interest in snowmobiling, you'll love this one too. Kids don't try this at home!Notice these guys are all in their 20s and kinda NUTS!

Stay Clear
Within two weeks the answering machine portion of this system broke. The technical support person and his supervisor told me the only way to get it fixed was for them to send me a box, have me send the phone in and then they would send me a new phone. They estimated the time I would be without a phone would be about 10 days. I don't know anyone who can go 10 days at home without a phone. For a firm that has 85,000 employees and billions in revenue I can't believe they could have come up with a more insane return policy. Also the reception isn't nearly what they said. In my house I am 20 yards from the base station and the phone will not work in my office. They informed me that there wasn't anything I could do, no additional antennae�s or anything to resolve the problem.Poor Management and Poor Product!!Buy the Panasonic!!!!!!

This Book is Fabulous!
I loved this book, as I loved all of Tamora Pierce's books. I think my favorite part of her books is their capacity to make me giddy while I read them. For a day or two I'm completely drawn up in the majesty of the royal Tortallan court, the complicated hierarchy that exists within the government, and the wonderful spunkiness of the main characters. This book is great because, unlike Alanna and Daine, Kel has a strong female role model to look up to--her mother-- and Kel has never been forced into doing anything she doesn't want to do in the name of being a lady, and so is free to completely be herself. I would also reccomend Page and Squire--I guarantee you, once you read First Test you won't be able to wait to read the sequels.

The Doomsday Conspiracy wasn't just about government and politics, it was about a man caught in a conspiracy and the life that he had to lead. It was a wonderful spell binding book that I couldn't put down. Sidney did once again, and I'm sure there's plenty more where that came from.

Horrible zippers
This bag provided lots of room and was great for the 2 plane trips we took our dog on. Fits perfectly under the seat, so you can hand carry your small pet. However, the zipper broke and we were not able to avail of the 1 year warranty. The bag also takes up a lot of storage space. Not worth the price, since it will break down after a few trips.

Great quality for the price
Both sub and speakers are very sturdy and sound good. The system won't blow you away (although the sub packs a good kick!), but its a must have for anyone not wanting to spend big $$$ to replace their basic speakers. Try messing around with an equalizer if you can to boost it a bit without causing distortion. Overall happy with this product.*Update* Because my PC sound supports 4 channel audio, I bought a second set to use as rear speakers (unfortunately I can't use a 6 channel 5.1 setup, but I'm happy with this for now). Both sets combined provide plenty of power and give games and music an extra kick. I can now hear (and sometimes feel) anything exploding behind me. Works!

Why I won't buy this coffee maker
I do not own this coffeemaker and I refuse to buy it for the following reason, which is not made crystal clear by Melitta in its advertising: YOU HAVE TO BUY MELITTA COFFEE IN THE SPECIAL POD FILTER WHICH YOU CAN ONLY GET FROM MELITTA. I'm insulted by this ruse to sell coffee.I love one cup makers and have owned two Melitta one cup makers that used #1 filters and brewed directly into a mug (they don't make them anymore). I currently have a Black & Decker "cup at a time" that allows me to you use my coffee of choice, which is Gevalia. You better be sure you like Melitta coffee before buying this thing.How dare Melitta try to force me to buy their coffee, and their coffee only, if I want this one cup maker. I refuse to be manipulated in that way and I am very disappointed in Melitta for not putting a more versatile one cup maker on the market.

This is supposed to be a "soundtrack?"
After seeing the movie, I was eager to get ahold of the soundtrack. Boy was I wrong. This soundtrack captures only a few of the songs that were actually used in the movie. I was extremely upset at what was a clear attempt to "market" this soundtrack as a rap/hard rock album than what it should have been, a soundtrack that stays true to the movie. What a commercial sellout by whoever put the soundtrack album together. I heard several songs by Moby and other dance/techno artists throughout the film, but none of their songs were included on the CD. If you are a fan of rap, which I'm not, then I'd recommend the album. If you saw the movie and liked the music from the movie, don't buy the soundtrack.

The Music of Dolphins
In my opinion, this is a great book for someone who loves dolphins. Other then that, it's not a very good book. One of the only things I really liked about this book was the part when Mila became humanized, and had to adapt to the human ways after living as a dolphin for about ten years. That was pretty interesting.

One Blatant Omission
For those of us born in the 50s, it appears that The Haunted Smile has one blatant omission: Gabe Kaplan.Why was Gabe Kaplan not included in this book? Was he not a pioneer in his own right bringing comedic humor from the club to the small screen? Was Welcome Back Kotter not a ground-breaking sitcom?

Get a Burr Type Grinder Instead
It is awkward to take off the top, add beans, grind and remove the grounds. It is also difficult to consistently get a reliable grind. After about a year of use the button stopped working so it had to be turned on and off by unplugging it. Overall the design of this type of coffee grinder is not ideal. I would suggest that regular coffee drinkers get a burr type grinder with a hopper and grind storage box.

Solid sports headpones
After going through multiple Sony sport headphones - which seemed to have a 3 week half life - I decided to move up to Sennheiser sport headphones. This set has been rugged and reliable. The sound quality is more than adequate for exercise, with surprisingly solid bass response. Additionally, while the Sony sport phones would loose output from heavy sweating, this pair has never missed a note.For someone who is not comfortable with ear bud headphones or other in-ear models I recommend this model without reservation.

Not up to the usual JL standard
The first Johanna Lindsey book that I did not like. I have ready other novels involving the Mallory family, and enjoyed them. This book was confusing. There wasn't much romance. It was like a whose who of the Mallory family. Most folks have family trees about the size of an oak. The Mallory family is like a REDWOOD! And JL explores every damn twig of that Redwood! If you really want a great JL read, try "You Belong to Me", "Angel," or "Love Me Forever".

nice mp3 player
I was pretty happy with this purchase. Actually I had a hard time getting the battery casing to open, i pressed very hard...and took me a while to open it :/ ...I think that's the only thing needs working on, I hope it's sturdy because I really had to press hard to open it. But once i got it opened, i was happy. It was easy to transfer my files over, i just connected the usb to my computer and copy and pasted my mp3 folder into the drive.Sound quality was good, radio was good. Controls were easy enough for me to figure out w/o reading any manuals, I just let my intuition take over :). I only had to read manual to find out how to get the shuffle working.The clear casing was fine too, didn't have any problems puttin it in....didn't test out armband yet.Headphones were fine with me, and nice style.Was a little bigger than i was expecting but it's still quite small and very light.You will like this mp3 player if you want easy to use mp3 player with good quality.

Great History
I have loved reading this book. It is about a man who follows Joseph Smith and became his personal body guard. It shows their friendship over the years and how hard it was to live back then. It is great and sad too. I love it. It is a great part of history to read.The only thing I don't like is all the extra pages the author leaves in between the chapters, what was he thinking???

Finally found it
I searched for this video for a while and finally found it used on amazon. Leary of buying used I had resisted for some time, but other than a few pause fuzzes that don't affect the watchability the tape was fine, and the movie was as good as I remembered. Action, adventure and a hot redhead combine to hold my attention. Classic military drama.

Ineffecient and Demanding...better luck next time...
this scanner turned out to be a ... paper weight because of its enormous time consumption for very simple projects.1. this was not at all compatible with Win 98 or Win xp home/pro2. the quality of the slide scans were great but took 2-3 mins at a time plus the processing time of the computer. people with a pentium 3 or lower should stay away.3. there is no option (at least that i noticed) to scan at lower resolutions, types, or bit depths so i ended up with 300 x 200 pixel images sizing up at 6.6 mb.4. i also purchased the auto slide feeder which had frequent problems with jamming (grabbing too many slides at once).using the hp scanjet 5470c with the film adapter was much quicker and more affordable yielding the same results as the nikion scanner.the nikion super coolscan 4000 is not the choice when it comes to time constraints, computer compatiblity, presentations, and web use.

Wanted to go with larger than 1/8" bit
I've been using my DC 550KA for about a year and like it a lot. Just wanted to pass on this tip: I wanted to go with a larger than the 1/8" bit because I was breaking it often. Dewalt only has the 1/8" and 1/4". Rotozip makes a 5/16" bit but it wouldn't fit in the Dewalt collet. If anyone else wants to go to a 5/16" bit the Rotozip brand 5/16" collet will fit the Dewalt DC550KA just fine, so you can use the larger bit.

An old classic!
I remember when this perfume first came out about seven years ago or something. The smell is absolutely intoxicating. My husband goes wild whenever I put this on and he can't keep his hands off of me. Which is good... but not when we're in public! I'm just kidding that is definetely a perk of this perfume.I am unsure of exactly how they do itPerhaps they just jampack a ton of pheremones in there.Anyways the smell is A+ if you are a woman you are missing out not wearing this!

Informative
This video is very informative for couples wanting to learn the samba and the tango. The instructors go through each dance in a step-by-step manner. After the first step is taught, they teach another step and make a combination with it. By the end of the instruction you learn all of the steps for the dance, and you know a combination that you can take out to the dance floor. The instructors explain how to make each part easier, and give tips about where to place your feet so you don't lose your balance. They also explain the different Latin styles and what footwear is best for Latin dancing. At the end of each video they go through what they have taught with music playing. The lighting makes the tapes feel like documentaries rather than fun dance instruction videos, but it is bearable. And it is really easy to learn in this method.

Multiple Problems with this machine
The first thing I noticed about this machine is that it grinds way too much coffee per cup - nearly twice the standard amount of 15cc (1Tbl)/cup (it ground nearly 30cc or 2Tbl/cup). You can get around this flaw by just setting the grinder to half the number of cups that you want, although that becomes challenging when you want to grind small amounts (< 4 cups). The second problem is that it often jams - probably 20-25% of the time. When this happens, the amounts are all thrown off. The third issue I encountered is that this unit just plain died when it was less than 6 months old. As far as I am concerned it was a waste of money.

Little information ---too much hype
This book by Hicks is nothing more than quick and glib sayings and pie in the sky real estate dreams. Save your money. (...) This book is a waste of spare time.

Good Controller
About the only thing bad I have to say about it is the buttons can sometimes feel a little "sticky" and don't snap like the standard SNES controller might. It can also be somewhat awkward to use on the floor if you don't have a desk or table to set it on. Besides that it's a decent controller for you fighting game enthusiasts who must have a joystick. I've had mine for 15+ years and it works just as well as it did when I bought it, but admittedly I only used it for Star Fox and a few Street Fighter 2 bouts. Overall, you could certainly do worse with an official Nintendo product from that era (like the Speedboard or the dreaded Power Glove) and this controller does provide some extra fun if you want to break away from the traditional controller.

Not a bad trip to Sesame Street
This video is fun but has the new Sesame Street feel. Clips toward the end of the DVD are my boys favorite part while the main story is long and have bored most of the 5 and under kids that have watched it in my house. Good background play noise. Look for "Cookie Monsters Best Bites" it is much more Cookie Monster and much more fun.

Again, these were purchased for my parents, who are in their 70's and love these movies. Had nothing but good things to say about these.

COULDN'T FINISH IT
I was very excited to get this book because it rated so well, but I quickly became very disappointed. I found this book to be very slow. I found myself skimming the pages, just waiting for some action. Maddy the female character was just too prudish for me. I know she was Quaker, but come on, she was so boring. I was just waiting for her to come alive. I only read 3/4 of the way through. I just couldn't get into it like everyone else did.

Good except for one noticeable drawback.
This dvd is good except for one noticeable drawback: the English voices are not in sync with the mouth movements. The lips don't match up and this can become somewhat annoying at times. Apart from that, this is a well down CGI movie and is one to watch if you're a fan of resident evil games.

Fun!
I loved reading this book and had a hard time putting it down. It gives you a look into the lives of the extremely wealthy in Manhattan and I found it very interesting. It isn't extremely well written, but it is fun and a quick read.

Great book for children learning about WWII
This book is the perfect introduction to a study of WWII because it brings it to life from the perspective of two children living through it. My elderly Dutch relatives who lived in Holland during those years said it was true to life and that they could remember all the events that are described in the book happening to them or to people they knew. HvS tackles some tough questions, like when is it OK to lie, can you forgive people for being evil, and why should life feel somehow flat when peace finally comes.

Very poor fit.
These boots look nice but the zipper did not move easily and the ankle is unbelievably small/tight. I have really skinny ankles and I could barely zip them. When I called customer service the agent went to get a size larger to compare the ankle area (she wore the same size as me) and she said she couldn't zip them up past her ankle. So unfortunately I have to look elsewhere for gogo boots.

On My favorite Villan
I loved Othello . Next to Hamlet it catches the attention and the heart of the reader . This play wraps one up in the world Shakespere recreated of Love Hate Lust Desire and Greed . I say Read it , think about it Tell a friend . I was especailly touched by the actions of Iago. Even though he was Evil incarnate one can find a little of him everywhere . Still this cant compare to the effect the drama gives one if they view it being preformed firsthand.

Next #1 BESTSELLER!!!
Up and coming author, Caroline Wagner, has fame written all over her newest release Missing Heaven. When discussing this book with a fellow reader it was compared to Sebold's "Lovely Bones". Yes, it's that good! It's supernatural, compelling, and as cliche as this is, I couldn't put it down. Seriously. There's a little for everyone in this story; drama, suspense, mystery, romance, and lots of adventure. The entire read I felt I knew every character, as if I could paste faces of those in my own life into the very pages. This book is alive and waiting to be read again and again. Planning to purchase multiple copies to give as gifts! Excellent... ELEVEN STARS!!!!

Takes Forever!
We were happy with the gift baskets that were delivered. However the company only has one distribution center in California, which is obviously not efficient to deliver to the East Coast.Despite the company's ambitions to become a national company, they are not willing to pony up the money to get additional distribution facilities outside of California.This maybe great if you live in California. However I live in Florida and I ordered on December 22 and my basket did not arrive until January 4th. I think that would be unacceptable in anyone's view, espescially since giving a gift basket can be time-sensitive.Until this company gets with the program and gets other distribution facilities I would stay away unless you want to wait two weeks for a simple basket to be delivered.

To Scientific
Although the premise is good there is way to much scientific molecule configurations to keep your attention. It would be great if it had a section 'What to ask your Dr.'

Be very wary if you haven't had coconut water before!
I bought a case of this stuff, have never had coconut water before. I drank half of one unit and I think I'm going to throw the rest of the case out.I didn't know what to expect it to taste like, I thought it would be a coconut-flavored sweet juice like taste, but after drinking it, let's just say that if I didn't know it was coconut water I'd swear it was months-spoiled milk mixed with filthy tap water. (Honest.)I'm sure that those who enjoy it enjoy it indeed, but I suspect they've acquired the taste for it.UPDATE: I've acquired the taste for it! It didn't take long, only a couple more and I got hooked. I'd change my rating (to 4) if I could. I'm buying more.

Great Show
I was alittle reluctant to watch because of the alien theme but was excited to see that the show focuses on the characters more than the aliens. I think they did a terrific job in developing the many and diverse characters on the show. Can't wait for the new season to begin.

Jodie Foster at Her BEST!
This is my favorite Jodie Foster flick. There's something very sexy and mysterious about living life on Carny Row. Jodie Foster plays a really gutsy girl (not an unusual role for her!). She's incredible! This film also has my favorite lezzie-tease scene...!Gary Busey is also VERY good in this film...certainly a career high-light for him, in my opinion....
