1 | One of those must have books about the 80's market | This is one of those excellent books that you should read for the following reasons:1. Everyone else has read it, so they will sprinkle their narratives with examples from it.2. Is funny, wonderfully engrossing biography of Lewis's life at the company Solman Brothers.3. You'll slice thru this book like a stick of warm butter. Just one of those books that you read in one or two sittings. | 36,667 |
0 | IS THIS REALLY MUSIC??? | Why bother buying this awful pile of trashITS JUST POORLY RE-RECORDED VERSIONS OF ALL READY LAME SONGSYet with a lameo phoney hip-hop beat. The whole cd sounds like it was made on a 1 doller kiddie keyboard some one bought from 99 cent store | 41,330 |
0 | Thinly-veiled Muslim-bashing and Christian/conservative promotion | This book is nothing more than a vehicle to sterotype and vilify Islam and Muslims while singing the praises of all things Christian and conservative.The writing isn't horrible, but it's not very good either. I got about 1/3 of the way through before the noxious stereotyping became too much for me to bear.If you like Fox News and Limbaugh/Beck/Coulter you might like this; if you prefer to think for yourself and don't think that all Muslims are evil, however, stay well away. | 45,551 |
0 | Very, Very unhappy | I was so excited to get this, but when I put it on and started to walk, I was broken hearted. It is not the original group, it is a singer that is NOT Peter Noone, if you listen to the voice you can tell, I knew on the first set of words out of his mouth, and its the whole CD that is that guy. If you really liked the original Hermans Hermits then this is not the one you want, even at this price. | 29,335 |
0 | Vulgar and Senseless | This book is incredibly vulgar with completely offensive & gratuitous language. I was completely turned off by their poor writing and the profanity. The claims the authors make about cancer and other health ailments are baseless, despite they footnoted whe whole book. The sources are questionable at best. I competely believe in the benefits of a vegan/vegetarian lifestlye, so it's not their ideas - it's their excution. Don not buy this book - it's a waste. | 17,024 |
0 | Over-Rated | I purchased one of these-bad mistake! Its only got a 400 watt rating on it. You need one that's at least 600 watts in order to get hard boiled eggs! Wouldn't reccomend this to anyone! A waste of money! The West Bend egg cooker does a MUCH better job!!!!!!! | 26,272 |
0 | Come to The Throne | I didnt know what to expect but this album was not very upbeat and I thought it was kinda boring. I was mislead by the album cover. | 27,161 |
1 | New York City Draft Riots, 1863 | Anyone who saw the movie "Gangs of New York" will recall the scenes of the draft riots taking place. Of course, in the movie the riots were just a small part of the plot, and you really didn't get the full horror of them, or the human toll they took on the City's inhabitants. This excellent book gives the reader the "up close and personal" view of the Draft Roits, by focusing on the lives of several people caught up in them in one way or another. The writing is profoundly moving, and every scene is poignant, particularly the ones that occur in Ireland during the Great Famine. The characters are all finely drawn, and the research that went into this book is clearly evident on every page. It's a very good way to get your American history lesson about the Riots while absorbing a very human drama of strife and tragedy. This is a book I highly recommend! | 5,915 |
0 | a huge let down | In listening to some of the tracks on this cd, its...not the Metallica we all choose to remember. Being musically talented, it sounds as though Metallica is trying to do something they cant quite get right..turn punk. This album is work that Metallica has to be proud of, but myself as a fan has heard better. If you want to hear the original badasses of rock at theyre best, check out the Black Album, mainly "Sad But True", "Dont Tread On Me", and "Of Wolf and Man". | 36,222 |
0 | Not necessary for library | Although I have enjoyed the beautiful photographs in her new cookbook I was disappointed in the cooking portion. It is not a book the serious cook would need for their bookshelf. Many of the recipes are variations of those found in her friends homes and restaurants. I was looking for a more original approach to her entertaining and found it lacking. Unfortunately it appears to have been written for her fame rather the cooking. With only 84-85 recipes in the entire book, I would have hoped to find something besides 'Mac and Cheese'. | 19,208 |
1 | So Good! | These stories were amazing! I just couldn't stop reading!! Mary Higgins Clark is fantastic! All of her books are amazing! I'm in my twenties and I find Clark's work to be just as fantastic as any young writer today. She really is the Queen of Suspense!! | 27,657 |
1 | Freemasons, look out!! | This book offers solid proof on why membership by Catholics into Freemasonic societies is forbidden. It will unlock the secret history of the Freemasons and how they have continued to plague the Catholic Church throughout the years. The author goes to great lengths to show how Christianity throughout this country has been condemned through the actions of so many of the judges who have very close ties to the Freemasons.You may ask, "if this society is so secret, then how did the author get hold of such detailed information about the High Degrees in side the order?" Through a very exhaustive method of research and people who have seen what goes on, it provided the details necessary to show what really goes on behind those closed doors. Any Catholic who knows someone who belongs to the Masons should order this book and send them a copy of it immediately. | 5,576 |
0 | Not as strong as described | The protective covers were flexible, but didn't have enough magnetic pull to stay on the glass that needed protecting. The flimsy paper "spatula" that is given with the product to help iron out any air bubbles did not work well, it created more air pockets. The film was easily gummed up and became blurry and fogged. I never got a first use out of it. It was no where near the strength claimed in the description. Honestly, the protective film that comes with the new phone works better... and that's not saying much. | 4,671 |
1 | Tangible Grace ~ | I have been a lonely child. I have hungered for a connection to a parent that was too busy, too self- centered, too broken. I have known and loved imaginary playmates that were more real to me than the actual living, breathing world. I have been confused by the ways of grown ups to the point of desperation. Sharon Wyse has created a character that could've been me - or you - or her. Lou Ann's struggle to be seen and heard, to belong, to be cherished - is so utterly profound and immediate - that I still hear her voice in my head. Sharon Wyse lives up to her name - she gives us a little girl with a story that will echo in our hearts forever. | 964 |
1 | One of Bette Midlers most under rated Jewels | I first bought this recording after its release and it has been a favorite for almost 15 years. It has something for everyone Rock, Country with steel guitar and of course Bettes campiness. Very well put together and thought out to coincide with her tour in the same year DE TOUR. Should command Air Play if her promoters would release singles of her more uptempo tracks. | 14,463 |
0 | Disappointment! | I was eager to read this book, hoping that it would be a fun poke at the rich and famous, but it was a big disappointment. None of the characters, with the exception of the child, is sympathetic--including the Nanny who comes off as EXTREMELY self-righteous and aggrandizing. In addition, a lot of the literary conventions (Mr. and Mrs. X?) are just plain silly. | 28,908 |
1 | Don't Get Too Comfortable | "Never Let Me Go" is a spooky little cautionary tale from the author of "Remains of the Day" about the ethical implications of a world where cloning is used to create people who grow to serve as sources of transplant organs. Like the young characters at the English boarding school where most of the story is set, we are only given pieces of the story along the way. By the end, the whole scenario is certainly unsettling, but perhaps not horrifying, as those in the society have come to regard it--surely there's something wrong, but it's hard to stop when so many people are being saved. The object lesson, I think, is to not let such a system get started, no matter what amazing advances are achieved in cloning technology. | 810 |
0 | Maxtor 3100 Sucks! Do NOT BUY!!! | I am in the same boat and was online searching for a remedy when I came across these reviews. UGH! I just had the same frickin' thing happen. My husband reported while I was away on a business trip that my Maxtor 3100 started making strange noises and he ultimately disconnected it until I returned. Behold, suddenly the XP OS does not recognize it, the 3100 diagnostic tool you download from the web is useless: it doesn't recognize it either: and now I'm calling GEEK SQUAD since I purchased it just months ago from BEST BUY (and yikes! A 3 month warranty?) now it will cost me a minimum of $250 to see if I can recover my data: not likely. This thing was about $100 US and now I face a major delimma: their website and support is as useless as the product. DO NOT BUY! CAVEAT EMPTOR! | 24,714 |
0 | Nice misting and lights, poor wireless controler, bottom fell off after 3 months | I bought this to mist my hermit crab tank, and to use the wireless so as to make that easier. It has many light functions/colors, and 2 settings for the amount of fog. unit works fine, but the controller isn't very strong. can only go about 4 feet or so from the sensor and must be line of sight. If anything is in the way, it will not work. I give it 5 stars for the unit, which seems to be solidly built, and only one star for the horrible remote, thus the 3 stars. hope this helps people out :)Update, bottom fell off of the item :( contacting alpine for possible replacement. so now its one star. | 4,797 |
0 | Horrible design | My wife and I have two cats. We originally had a Littermaid Ultra automatic litterbox that seemed to work for us. It kept the litter fairly clean and was relatively trouble free. The motor gave out on it about three months ago after about four years of daily service. I purchased the Petmate thinking that it would be a superior product. I was mistaken. The rake continually jammed, the soiled litter liners were much more complicated to change, the tines on the litter rake were spaced to widely apart to really clean the litter and the item simply did not work. What ever you do, do not buy this product! I would give it negative stars if I could. It is now in the trash can and has been replaced with a conventional litterbox. | 44,180 |
1 | Great Lights! | I love these lights! This last pair that I bought from Amazon was at a good price with FAST shipping. Over time the lights wear out from normal day to day wear. And because of that, I have bought probably 6 to 7 pairs of these lights over a 15 year span. The last two orders have been ordered through Amazon. I have found the same lights on other web sites... but for a lot more money. These driving lights throw out a lot of light for the price. They have a great beam that really let you see what is ahead of you at night. I will keep buying these lights for the quality of workmanship... and at the Amazon price. | 10,594 |
1 | SUPER FAST! | I was a bit hesitant to purchase this item at first due to lack of a brand name...but I could not resist the price, and gave in.I am so glad that I did...This drive is unbelievably fast and reliable. What used to take me hours to burn takes just minutes now with this 24x10x40x drive! This product also comes with NERO BURNING ROM software which is a big plus...it is the best cd burning software I have ever used (and I have used many different ones).I am not that technical, but it was easy to install this drive in place of a very slow HP cd writer...and although it does not list Windows XP, I have had no problems running it with XP Professional....I highly recommend this item! | 20,940 |
1 | More than just talking dogs | When I began this book, I thought it seemed like a cute story. However, by the time I finished The Dogs of Babel, I realized that this was actually a book about love and grief, and what a person feeling these emotions may be willing to do. I have felt both these emotions first hand and the author does an amazing job putting these feelings onto paper.Yes, Parkhurst does use an unusual storyline to get her point across. Who would think that a book about a man trying to get his dog to communicate with him could be serious? The point is that someone with unresolved grief is willing to do ANYTHING to have it resolved. If you are the type of reader that likes straight to the point, no deep thinking involved, books, don't read this. If you are the type of reader that likes a book to keep you intrigued for days to come, I suggest that you give The Dogs of Babel a try. I think you will be glad you did. | 6,071 |
1 | Wow!!! | If you're a Jarre-fan and you missed this album, it should be only for it's price, because the music is too good to leave in the store. I think it's the best Live-Recording he ever made, in fact, I think it's one of the best live recordings ever made in the world!! | 44,402 |
1 | Buy It!! | Hey, after reading all these complaints, all I can say is that this is a good CD. People keep saying that this is not like old orbital. What the devil do you want? would you like them to use the same samples, for that matter use the same patterns with different samples. But as far as I'm concerned it is a good CD well worth the money. If you want wait June 8th until its domestic release. If you like orbital a lot try get it now. But whatever you do, it's good and fun to listen to. All the other Orbital CDs are good they don't sound like one another, or for that matter someone else's work. So buy it, spin it, and have a good listen!. | 32,756 |
0 | I was rip off buy curt. | I purchase a trailer hitch from Curt for my 2000 Dodge Dakota. They sent me a hitch that fit a Toyota Sianna. I sent it back and never got Credit for it. They stole my money and the return shipping charge for the trailer hitch. | 23,786 |
1 | This is an enjoyable compilation of British 60's pop. | Since Dave Berry was only popular in the UK and Europe I had never heard of him until I came across his name and some of his available CDs while surfing on-line CD stores. Looking at track listings I was familiar with some of his songs as covers, but I had no idea how he sounded. His Top 5 hit "The Crying Game" was included on the soundtrack of the same name, so I sampled it at a CD store. I liked the sound enough to take a chance and buy this CD. I was pleasantly surprised to find the CD an excellent compilation of British sixties pop. I enjoyed it thoroughly. I wish I had learned of Dave Berry years earlier. As a fan of British beat music of '63-'66, I have a growing collection of CDs by many of the UK groups which did not gain popularity in the US. I believe Dave Berry should have. He was as good as, if not better than, many other male vocalists of the time. | 7,986 |
0 | Tend skin evolves! | I have used Tendskin since college and while I can't say that I like it, it does work. My girlfriend introduced me to the Min Solution2 and I gave it a try. It works much better and I think the roller ball applicator is genius! It smells really clean too and a bit minty. | 43,475 |
0 | Where are the photograohs??? | While written material information is excellant in this book, It lacks enough photographs to make it useful for a collector to successfully identify a sword he may have. Also it should have included French, British and German designs. Sorry but this book does not help me at all. The proof marks are availible almost everywhere else. Also to make this book better, it needs more pictures! Spread out the photographs thru the book insted of the "lump-sum" at the rear. Better books than this are out there. | 46,696 |
0 | Good idea for a fictional short story, but not a book. | A very easy read which takes about two hours. It contains no concrete evidence that the "truths" may exist in reality. The reader can believe it or not. The chapter "Bones' Revelations" gives no meaningful insights as to why aliens take the time to interact with humans and does not even temp you with innovative speculations. The only link to something interesting was a brief mention to wave interference and noise, which I was part of a "real" classified project in 1970. However, there are no new technical references or ideas in this book. This story would have been better presented as shortened to a 2500 word short story. My review comes from a 25 cent copy purchased from a library withdrawal sale. | 6,101 |
1 | Great Book on Faith and Self-Awareness | I love this book. It is a classic. Her self-awareness and self-honesty are refreshing and caused me to examine myself in different ways. Although it's written as a memoir, her discussion of her journey of faith deepened my spiritual experience. | 26,038 |
1 | Well worth it! | Needed to rationalize buying this luxury for my shop, so held off until it came time to finish the basement. I rented a framing nailer and the compressor was more than adequate to power over 1,000 10D nails in a weekend. I have another weekend of work and know that it'll work great. The brad nailer works great too and instructions for both are clear and easy to follow.I plan on using it to apply paint, varnish and other finishes.This is a great combo. | 18,486 |
1 | EXCELLENT!! | I use Chuncks with my students (elementary, both LD and reg. ed).It is a fantastic product. I find it works best when working with phonics. Visual learning, you will NOT be disappointed. | 23,374 |
0 | Better medically-oriented books available | While interesting to see inside an OB's head, her opinions didn't inform me much at all -- I thought the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologist's book Planning Your Pregnancy and Birth in the current edition is more thorough, more neutral and less aggravating. Neither are my source of choice for unmedicated childbirth info, but I plan on throwing out Advice From in favor of the ACOG book. | 10,299 |
1 | Refreshing | Matt Dusk has a style that reminds me of the Sinatra days but refreshing and new for today's sound. Matt can provide that crooner, jazzy style. I highly recommend his music. LOVE IT ! | 3,527 |
0 | Cheap | It fit over my grill fine but it doesn't secure well. The straps only allow you to tighten it so much so it blows off easy during a strong wind. The material is extremely cheap, reminds me of a $3 walmart rain coat. It tore in multiple places within the first week. | 25,036 |
1 | the six edition is as good as the older edition | the six edition is as good as the older edition ,the six edition is as good as the older edition | 25,309 |
1 | No Issues. | I have no issues with this product. It is small and looks neat on the counter. I only use plastic bottles and have had no issues with it collapsing even if I load the top rack with bottles AND my breast pump.I would recommend this to others. | 35,356 |
1 | This cable has created more excitment in my life. | For the first time ever, my girlfriend and I were able to locate her g-spot. If it weren't for this cables intuition, we would have never found it. | 37,427 |
1 | Enlightening | How much do you know about what you perceive? This book helped answer a lot of my questions about this topic. A must read for people interested in Human Perception. | 39,676 |
0 | New Goodkind book thin to the point of non-existance | The fifth volume of the Sword of Truth series is so thin, I can't even see it. I have been able to ascertain no plot development, no action, and - strangest of all - no copying of the Wheel of Time series whatsoever. In fact, now that I think about it, I haven't even read it. I couldn't. It's not published yet, you see. Still, just like everyone else, I thought a review would be well appreciated. | 29,346 |
1 | Stylish, too!! | Plus, when you aren't cooking, it makes a lovely centerpiece, magazine rack, boot rack, sawed-off gun rack, or topiary foundation. | 47,842 |
1 | Satisfyingly Perfect System! | I must say, I was skeptical when I read the box, but trust me - this works beautifully on Windows 8! I found one little bug - if you click on file/print, the program will close, but printing is easily achievable by clicking on the printer icon.The software is intuitive, but it takes a while to stick all of the printed labels on. IT'S WORTH IT! My files look PERFECT and now I actually look forward to filing! | 20,702 |
1 | Smells wonderful! | Just like the one the old time barbers use. Smells great! Brought back memories of getting my hair cut when i was a child. | 37,646 |
1 | Pretty good | The item overall is real good, nice no-slip silicon rubber, the only thing bad is that it said i would get a pair of headphones with it, i even got to choose the color of them, but they were not included with the case....i dont really care but someone else might! | 24,066 |
1 | Very, very cool flic | Turn off your brain and have fun..this is a really slick movie if you give it a chance. I've been waiting for this DVD for quite some time :) | 37,696 |
1 | Roots reggae LIVES! | Inner Visions' really shows their roots here! Some jamming reggae tunes such as the title song, "Just a Matter of Time", "Ethiopia" & "Black Sheep" OR sweet love songs like "Hold on to What You've Got", L's Lament" & "No More Tears to Cry" - Inner Visions has it ALL! As ALWAYS with Inner Visions; conscious lyrics, sweet harmony and moving rhythm! YOU miss out if you don't check it out! Ride the waves!!! | 38,271 |
1 | good concert, edited? | I enjoyed this. The latest concert on DVD before Levi Stubbs retired. DVD was good quality, sound was excellent. I did notice that scenes jumped alot, mostly between songs, as if parts in between had been cut out. Also at the beginning, you don't see an intro or overture or anything, it just jumps to the first song right before they start singing. Still a good DVD. Any Four Tops fan would want this in their collection. Rest in peace, Brother Levi. | 25,481 |
1 | Chaos personified | I was hoping that this record would not sound like Built to Last. Thankfully it did not. This record is shear Choas, with nothing held back, lyrically or musically. It makes you want to start a mosh pit in your bedroom. | 41,495 |
1 | A book that would make Jane Austen proud! | At first, I was a little leery of reading a sequel to one of the best classics by a different author. However, I could NOT put this book down. Linda Berdoll keeps the Austenian language alive, with a few modern twists here and there. I simply adored the sexuality and intimacy she gave Darcy and Elizabeth. If you are looking for the best attempt to continue the story and legacy that is Fitzwilliam Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet, then Mr. Darcy Takes a Wife is the book you want. After you read it, you'll immediately buy the next sequel that continues the story by Linda Berdoll, Darcy and Elizabeth: Nights and Days at Pemberley. | 4,243 |
0 | Let the editor, edit | This book was good when it stuck to the story of climbing the mountain. Roper goes off the story so often it is distracting. If he would have stayed away from philosophy, current events, past events, psychology, etc.... he could have shortened his book by at least one hundred pages. Stay with the story!! It may be a shorter read but a better read. | 7,416 |
1 | Great action | Only reason I went 4 stars is because I felt like the video was a little too short. All in all though, a great video. They cover a lot of terrain in it. Lots of big drops in it, but I could have handled more singletrack. | 33,549 |
1 | This title could actually... | have any number of stars from 0-5 for a plethora of reasons. This book was slightly disturbing, but thought provoking. Thought altering. After reading this book, chances are, you will find yourself dumbfounded. The perspective this book is written beneath will take your breath away. I personally found it a bit overwhelming and did not like many of the assumptions the author placed. Stuck in Neutral is definitely worth the time, but be prepared. | 15,442 |
0 | restart problems | I have been using the Marineland 200 Bio-wheel Filter on my 30 gallon tank for less than a year. It is supposed to be for up to a 50 gallon tank but it is barely powerful enough for my 30 gallon. A couple of months ago I started having restart problems with the filter. If power is disrupted to the tank, the filter is very hard to restart. The motor sounds like it is running, but it will not pull water into the filter. I doubt it will survive another power disruption. I am very disappointed that it did not even last for a year. | 8,525 |
1 | bEsT mOvIe EvEr!! | okay guys,let me just tell you I have this thing for christmas movies and this one makes the top of my list. So these kids parents get a divorce and they do everything possible to get them back together...and if you want to know if they get back together you better buy this movie!! and there is also a really cute young love story mixed in there and its christmas in new york!!! This movie is awesome!! | 8,980 |
1 | bigger than a bread box | It is great. I am completely satisfied. I store things on top. I seems to keep bread much fresher longer. I have forgotten that I had bread in there for days and the bread was still fresh. | 46,867 |
0 | Junk | This item is a piece of junk. It fell apart the first day I got it. I understand that it's not an expensive watch, but I expected it to last more than one day. | 28,231 |
1 | Best SNES game ever created! | I have to say, the only better game I played is Super Smash Bros. Melee. It beats everything else! It's pure genious, and can never be topped. | 20,433 |
1 | Nice quality / run big | This is an excellent sandal and my daughter just loves them but the sizes run large. She is a 5 1/2 and got a 6 to wear socks with the sandlas to soccer practice / games and they are still too large. Otherwise they are a well made product, durable and comfortable. | 28,924 |
1 | EXCELLENT Text | I took the class with 2 of the authors, and the text provided me an in-depth learning experience with the comparative government field. | 22,229 |
1 | Healthy, easy. I reach for this cookbook constantly | "Pure Pantry" is the first chapter. What to make when you have nothing "fresh" on hand, but want something tasty."No Work Salmon Chowder" is the first recipe of that category. My family chows it down. (We make it even healthier by adding a bag of frozen okra.)This recipe is just one of MANY that I regularly fix from this wonderful cookbook. From One Pot Meals, to Soups and Stir-fries. They are easy to follow. Simple ingredients you can find at any store. My toddler eats them all, too!Came to Amazon tonight to see if I could buy another cookbook by Michelle Urvater! | 37,549 |
0 | No Stars For Lack Of Lyrics On His Album | Pitbull's M.I.A.M.I. Album was mostly writen by his producersso that miami's Trick Daddy won't be the only M.I.A. rapper in the game. so Pitbull proves he writes some with the help of his staff at TVT Records And Who I'am is no one's concern. Thank You. | 1,339 |
1 | As expected | Indeed, the bottles came all in nice silver. so no color combination. but the quality is good. I use them for floor cleaning products. I had to use a permanent marker to distinguish them. Good value! | 48,417 |
0 | Hyper-spritual and unbalanced | Though I usually love to read brother Nee's works, though they are Brethren-influenced and dispensational, I found that Spiritual Man was especially unbalanced and hyper-spiritual.It is based on the shaky premise that man is a tri-partite being, and builds a whole spiritual theology from that foundation. It is taken to such an extreme, that the translators had to invent the terms, "soulical" and "soulish" to help explain brother Nee's ideas.This book will most likely appeal to Charismatics, Christians interested in mysticism, and emotional people on a spiritual quest, but will not likely interest or help people seeking a plain Biblical theology. And even though some of the operations of the Holy Spirit in the believers life are well explained by brother Nee, I feel that his "insights" would do more harm than good to those Christians who are unfamiliar with the precious Word of G-d. | 35,184 |
0 | Historically Inaccurate | I must confess that I would be remiss not to point out the cultural differences between Americans and Brits. As the former, I have no interest whatsoever discussing this movie as a spiritual experience or a deep love story. It is the world's greatest nightmare of MTV American style fable. I cannot believe Ewan did this film, in fact. Love is a construct. It is a contract based on social needs and norms and nothing else. Maybe in Tibet or with doped up people in Los Angeles or New York this movie could have appeal. Not with more sophisticated cultures such as the ones one finds in London and Paris. | 34,856 |
1 | Celtic horse pendant | This pendant is a lovely quality pewter, is heavy and fashioned well for shape and smoothness. The excellent artwork for the design is stamped in fairly lightly and I would like the lines darker for better visual from a slight distance, but I am satisfied with this product. | 19,857 |
1 | Residing at Camp Dak Pek | My first tour in Vietnam was in Dak Pek. When reading this book, I ran across several names I knew from the Dak Pek and Dak Seang A-Teams as well as from the Mike Force. To me this was a "do not put down until finished" project. I laughed when I read of requested air-support to destroy enemy tanks a few kilometers North of the camp only to find that the "tanks" were the same earth-moving equipment that we also had snuck up on several years prior; it truly amazed me. I recommend this book to all Vietnam vets as well as to any reader who enjoys a down to earth documentation of life in a Vietnam Special Forces A- Camp. | 5,891 |
0 | not durable..... | okay, it's cheap. and so i got what it's worth. it lasted only few hours. but we sure did have fun till the seat connecting to the arm gave way. | 38,964 |
1 | I'm going back and taking notes | I liked this book. It seemed to do exactly what the author said it would which was to tell you what you already know, but in a way that explains the significance. In effect, gives you some 'mental shortcuts' to use. It is more a book about behavior in a conversation and what the significance is. I can see immediate benefit to a person that performs interviews as part of their job. There are no silver bullets to detecting lies, but there are indicators that suggest the probability. It depends on the context. As I was reading it, I realized that I do some of the things he mentions in the book in my conversations, when I recall information, I look away, when I am thinking while I am talking I look away, when I am trying to 'dump' a talkative person I shift my body position, etc. | 20,087 |
0 | No thrills, no surprises | Not the worst book I've read this year, but by no means one of the best. From the first page, when we are introduced to one "Orno Tarcher" from the midwest, I knew we were in for some serious manipulating on the part of the author. I was right. Velvet smoking jackets came later. Maybe Canin should stop watching soap operas and read some good books on developing characters. John Gardner comes to mind. | 35,471 |
1 | Love this system | I have had to bottlefeed my baby since about 1 1/2 months since I had to go start fall semester, so I tried getting a bottle that my son would be able to go from breast to bottle easily and he has no problem! But you really have to get the whole system to see how cool it is, becasue I also have the pump which connects right on to the bottles and in a couple of months I can turn those bottles into cups! No problem and my son gradually gets used to the heaver flow from the nipples since you can switch them out as the baby gets older. A little bubbly but not so bad there is a problem, but anyone trying to keep to breastfeeding as much as possible, but can't be there all the time, this is bottle works! | 6,164 |
0 | The Little Robot that couldn't | HelloI like and other iRobot products like the roomba. So I figured that if they make a pool robot it has to be good. I was wrong, Plus, They don't make it anyway, it's outsourced to a company called aqua products. I found this out when I call the troubleshooting help line. They said my pool was to dirty and it was clogging up the robot and that the robot was made to maintain an already clean pool - OK it was dirty so I cleaned it to as clean as it's ever been. The Verro still only went about 30 feet that stopped. The Filter bag was hardly dirty.I sent it back to amazonSincerelyJim | 31,383 |
0 | Disappointed | I've been a big fan of Sandra Brown since her Harlequin days and was thrilled when she started writing romance/mysteries. However, I have been very disappointed in her last 3 books so I looked forward to reading The Switch hoping for a change. I am still disappointed. Although it had all the prerequisites for a good story I felt it lacked depth. We really never get to know the characters despite all the soul searching they seem to go through. I also found the resolution somewhat trite.Overall a disappointing read. If you must read all her books, wait for the paperback! | 28,170 |
0 | you won't learn 7.0 features with this book | There is almost nothing about details of SQL Server 7.0 that would help you improve performance. This book is really dissapointing. This 2nd edition still only covers 6.5 stuff. One good example is the books description of the physical storage of the TEXT data type as using a linked list of 2K pages. SQL Server 7.0 has many advanced features for storing this data type and uses a B-tree instead of a linked list. The author goes over many tuning details needed when using 6.5 failing to mention the vast improvements in 7.0 that have made most of the tuning parameters obsolete. | 17,147 |
0 | Lack of info | Was unpleasantly surprised when I received this book -- it was the LARGE PRINT edition! This info definitely should have been provided. | 39,908 |
1 | Badguy | Has a lack of power, but I knew about this from reading other reviews before purchasing this grinder. It has come in handle a couple of times when a going to get about 200' of cord while on a roof or even once had a guy crawl through some duct work where a cord would not of been as efficient. I do like using it on some projects even if I have my brand new corded grinder right next to me, this could be part to my hating cords and cluster work areas. All and all I'm glad I bought it. | 6,417 |
0 | hot little corset | i bought this dress because i thought it looked so good on the model in the photo, but i should have taken into consideration i couldnt see the front. The boobs on the dress were very weird and pointy, and the ties up the back looked awful. It might be good for someone with a different figure than mine, but i think my boyfriend would have been more amused than aroused if he had seen me in it. | 10,204 |
0 | Not for amateurs | I bought this as an amateur just to play around with some music. It seems like it is designed more for the professional because after about a week I just gave up. Very confusing and the instructions are of no help. I would not recommend this unless you plan on devoting a ton of time in trying to make it work. | 20,757 |
0 | Unreliable | This piece of equipment has worked very poorly for us. It works seamlessly for days and even weeks and then suddenly will not work at all. There is no change in the environment that we are aware of, yet a good signal one day is just an impossible signal the next. It begins working again sometimes when we unplug and replug it, sometimes when we relocate the receiver, etc. It is the computer equivalent of hanging aluminum foil off your TV antennae. My husband is a computer professional but this does not have any user accessible parts so when it doesn't want to work, we are just at it's mercy. I wish we hadn't bought it. | 41,539 |
0 | Falls apart after 9 months! | We bought this for our son when he was first born. Now he is 9 months old and the vinyl covering is shredding and coming off. I'm disappointed that something so basic can't be made well enough to last even a year! | 9,245 |
1 | Seals everything | Will also help extend the bubbliness of sparkling water/cider. Also fits around plastic liter bottles. To make it work takes a few seconds worth of patience -- just twist the sealer until it starts getting tight. I think the inside of the device expands as you twist to fit the inside of the bottle. Sometimes I didn't seal it completely--it's easy to tell when you don't twist it enough or don't put it on straight because you can easily pull it off the bottle, rather than having to twist it off. | 22,901 |
1 | My son loved this book at 9 months and is still his favorite | Large colorful photo pictures that any child would love. You can follow along with different subjects on each page such as 'colors of nature' shows colored leaves of fall, brightly colored parrots, butterflies and fish. Also goes through shapes and patterns of nature, some counting, how things might feel, how animals might move ect. My son isn't even into most of these ideas at one year old but loves to point and listen to me say the names. | 43,972 |
1 | Canon Backpack | Overall, I am pleased with the backpack. Being able to adjust the compartments to the exact size needed was an extra added bonus. It fell a little short on space, the pictures made it "look" bigger and roomier, so I had to really maximise on packing everything in. Still, it was a great deal on a great product. Thanks. | 2,053 |
1 | "If I die before I wake, I hope I don't come back a slave" | A great single. "Even in His Youth" and "Aneurysm" are extremely raw and quite sloppy, which may put many people off (on these two songs, don't expect consistent technical quality in the vein of "Teen Spirit"). The sloppiness only bothered me in "Aneurysm". The Incesticide version, overall, is better, but the intro on the SLTS version beats the Incesticide version's HANDS DOWN. In other words: The first 6 seconds are excellent, and the rest of the song is... not the best (to say the least). But I have to say this, though: "Even In His Youth", despite its raggedness,is one of Nirvana's best songs. So good, in fact, that they should've scrapped a song off the second half of Nevermind (perhaps "Lounge Act" or "On a Plain"), and replaced it with "Even In His Youth". | 41,250 |
1 | Works great | I found this scale functions as promised and I'm happy with the purchase. I like that more than one person's weight details can be stored in it. | 11,540 |
0 | Get What You Pay For | I really liked the price on this battery, so much cheaper than the brand-name battery. NOW I KNOW WHY! I've not used this batter very often. I only use my camera while on vacation and at special events, so may 4 times, and this is my backup battery. It is already having problems...I fully charged it and it won't turn on my camera. Contacted seller and they said it was beyond their 30-day return policy and there was no warranty. Pay the extra and get a battery with at least a one-year warranty or end up like me and having to buy another battery anyway. | 23,447 |
0 | Incompetent Authoring | This is one of those discs where the 16X9 enhancement isn't compatible with many players, producing a squeezed image if you don't have a 16X9 TV. This needs to be repressed. I don't know what the film is like because everything appeared as thin as toothpicks (and no, it was not because my player was set wrong--it is always set to Normal: LB).I've gotten a ton of unhelpful votes for this review, so I'll add that I contacted the Disney/Miramax troubleshooting hotline printed on the disc, and after the technician walked me through all the troubleshooting steps, he CONCEDED that the DVD is INCOMPATIBLE with my player. With that fact presented, anyone who tries to bury this review as unhelpful simply because it is negative is (unfortunately, anonymously) demonstrating themselves tro be a true jerk determined to keep customers from making an informed decision. No company, particularly one as large as Disney, should be making DVDs that are incompatible with some players. | 951 |
1 | Strong enough to withstand the weakling theists! | I bought this little guy because I heard the adhesive was tough, and boy is it tough! Being a college student, there are lots of religious people around who like to bother passing students with "the words of christ" and what-not. I figured I could get my point across by slapping this baby to the rear window of my jeep.After leaving a lecture, I began walking towards my car to find someone trying to remove my little darwin fish from my car! I was able to ward him off with a swift kick to the ass, and also found that the jerk was unable to budge my little darwin emblem :)This emblem is rock solid if placed correctly, and can withstand rain, snow, heat, and even wussie theists! | 24,902 |
0 | NOT his best book | although the usual elements are there--defender of the faithful searching the heart of darkness (his own) at a crucial point in life (middle age); the good-as-gold woman who gets away; the woman who doesn't--sprinkled with stories cops tell each other. But it drags, as if written to a formula not fully developed. Wambaugh writes well, part Hemingway, part Joseph Conrad. But this adventure story for men misses in all but the gastronomical department. | 16,694 |
0 | Must like Raw Native American Also | This CD is not one of my favorites because it has a large mix of tracks that are already on other CDs. It also has some very raw and authentic sounds, not your typcial modern Native American. Although there is some of that, too. The nice effect is how each song runs into each other as if the whole CD is one continuous track. There are songs on this CD that consist totally of nature sounds. More for therapy or relaxation if that is what you are looking for. And then, there is Brulé which is awesome but you're better off just buying a Brulé album and enjoyig all of their singles. | 20,318 |
1 | Good information, but disorganized Exercises | This book has good information, and is fairly well organized. I like the examples in every section of the chapter.However, a lot of the Exercises are not very well presented. For example, one exercise section had about 5 exercises. Exercise 2 references 1. 3 references 1. 4 references 2. 4 references 1. 5 reference 4 AND 2. When I was doing exercise 5 it took me 15 minutes to figure out just what it was asking, and I'm still not sure that I got it right. I've never seen any other book chain reference like that before. In my opinion, referencing should make you look at no more than one other contiguous and non-further-referencing block of information. | 10,870 |
0 | Disappointed | After buying cheaper coffeemakers over the years that never lasted very long, I decided to try this one from Cuisinart. It worked great for a while but within a year it quit working. I was extremely disappointed because I really loved it. It brewed great coffee, you can set it to shut off at 2 or 4 hours, and set the temp of the plate that the carafe sets on. It's very attractive but didn't last any longer then the cheaper coffeemakers I've bought in the past. Now I'm searching for a new coffeemaker but won't buy another one like this. I really thought I had found a keeper but didn't. | 30,540 |
1 | nice remote | I love being able to control all of my devices with one remote. This is my second Logitech remote. One of the buttons fell off my 659 so I needed to get a new one. This remote looks sleek. It's more confortable to use than the 659 was. The side buttons are a bit odd to use, I keep feeling like I'm going to hit the wrong button. It would also be nice if the resoution was better on the color screen. | 6,943 |
1 | Best Protein Powder on the market | This has everything you need beyond protein: greens, aminos, fiber, vitamins. Best of all - no sugars or sweeteners of any kind. I have for breakfast with blueberries, oj, 1/2 banana, 2tbs of oats, 1tsp flax...Keeps me going full of energy til lunch at 1. | 37,820 |
1 | 20,000 stars above excellent! | Kirk Douglas (and his teeth) star in this Classic Disney movie of Jules Verne's famous novel. Not only was Verne ahead of his time, but Disney too. A thrilling graphic story of the hunt for a mysterious sea monster which turns out to be a submarine. Uncut! Digitally restored! Digitally enhanced with THX sound! | 6,496 |
1 | The Gift of Ragamuffin Prayers | Looking for a gift idea that is a great reminder of God's love for us? Here's one - a coffee-table book inspired by Brennan Manning's The Ragamuffin Gospel. Compiled by Jimmy Abegg, a member of the late Rich Mullins' Ragamuffin Band, this book is a collection of Abegg's beautiful black and white photographs, along with poems, prayers, and essays by Henri Nouwen, St. Francis of Assisi,Christian artists such as Michael W. Smith and Ashley Cleveland, as well as an interview with Manning himself. All of them deal with prayer: both the struggles of when it feels they are going unanswered and those when God's voice can clearly be heard. Know someone who needs cheering up? Know someone going through a trying time? This makes a great gift for them or for anyone who considers themselves spiritual ragamuffins. | 2,008 |
1 | modern alarm clock | this clock is so amazing. You indicate your time zone and it automatically adjusts for time changes plus always the exact time when you plug it in | 40,303 |
0 | not working | Hopes dashed. only way I could get it to work is to turn it sideways. then the shoulder straps on my bra get pulled into a halter configuration & show in the neckline of a v-neck tee. Now I know why there's no pic of the front view. Considering there is approximately 10 cents worth of plastic in the 2 clips, that's quite a profit, especially for an item that doesn't work. Don't waste your money. | 1,346 |
0 | Fine if you are over level 180 | First on the new graphics... I have not seen them yet as they have not been released.For all new items you must be over at least level 130 to get to the new island, except a few dungeons camped by people macroing.All patchs that have come out since release are aimed toward extream high levels. Or melee. Case in point GW quest last month. No low level could kill a pumpkin lord. The buffer was camped by a level 210 to get the goodies. This month content is all mage resistant if you are under level 150. The one new orb intrduced into the game is buged. The so called event you had to be over level 100 to attend.I have been waiting since release for a answer from their tech support on migrating problems with 2 of my accounts. They offer no support unless you want to make a long distance call.So unless you are a high level melee or very high level mage do not waste your time and money on this. It is not like the old days where they added something for everyone. | 35,633 |
0 | Waste of time | I agree with all the negative things other reviewers have said about this book...interesting premise not executed well. A bunch of women who have nothing better to do but hang out in a knitting shop all day? Please. A white man who discovers that his grandfather was black and now must deal with the fact that he is an "African American"? Again, please. And the baby in question, of course, is fantastically beautiful with "golden" eyelids, etc. The people are one-dimensional and there are too many plot lines that are left hanging at the end. A really good novel about this topic would have been a treat. This is a throwaway beach read at best. | 39,782 |
