0 | Waiting and waiting... | After much anticipation I finally got ahold of this book and began reading. Shortly into the story I realized it wasn't worth waiting for. What a disappointment. The main characters did not garner my sympathy for their situation, only pity for their lack of action. I thought the story boring and couldn't wait to put it back on the shelf. | 38,821 |
1 | Works great with my Compaq Presario with Windows Vista sp2 | I tried two linksys wireless cards and they were bad, one barely got a signal and the other one simply didn't detect my router.This one immediately did work after installing the drivers. Granted I've only had it for a week, but am very pleased. Our router is at the bedroom which is in the other end of the house (my desktop is in the bedroom opposite side) and the signal is awesome!!! | 40,650 |
1 | from san diego | I loved the movie overall but felt that the scences with denzel and the prostitute were completly unneccesary and brought down the movie. | 36,574 |
1 | First comprehensive study | First comprehensive study of this influential avant-garde Belgian filmmaker. A fine writer and a skilled and gifted critic, Margulies offers many new insights into Akerman's important work. The readings of Akerman's films-in particular the contextualization of the work in a wider range of frameworks-are excellent. An impressive book. | 283 |
1 | The Best CD of Celtic Women Out There | I own a few cds of Celtic music, and this is by far the best--it is not 'easy listening' like other, more instrumental stuff. Each song says something (even if it's in a language you do not actually speak) and you have to Listen, not put in for background music. It is not 'fusion' celtic-techno even if it is not exactly folklore. Each song carries with it a certain authenticity that is nonetheless tempered by the present... you gotta have it! | 48,710 |
0 | Incomplete Songs | I was very dissapointed when I received this book. Not only was the collection mostly obscure songs I've never heard of (which is the case with most of these children's song books), some of the songs that I was looking forward to learning only had the first verse of the song.I cannot recommend this book. I'm trying to figure out if I can still return it, since I will almost never use it if I keep it. | 15,499 |
1 | TechniIce | Not quite the same as dry ice...but it kept everything I brought on a plane frozen for at least 5 hours. Tried mailing frozen boiled peanuts with it and in 3 days they were thawed but still cool. They were also well wrapped, but not in a cooler. No dripping as with ice.I liked enough that I bought more. | 37,738 |
1 | Nice sound, well made, it could be a bit easier to use. | They are a very well made good sounding headphones. They have a very good range. However with red lights flashing and blue lights flashing, taping on the left or the right side , plus extra switches on both sides. it can be a bit complicated to use. However I would recommend them. I am happy with them. If your looking for the ultimate in sound reproduction you need to spend lots more money. Easy to install, but I am still challenged with their operation. | 3,605 |
1 | So far so good! | I read all the reviews before I purchased and I'm satisfied with my purchase. So far it works good. I did, however, send in my warranty card just to be safe in case I had to have it repaired. The drying time is much faster as it states. It's easy to assemble and store. I rollerset my hair and sat under the dryer for 1 hour instead of my normal 2 hour. It works for me. I'm glad I bought it. | 21,160 |
1 | Easy listening | If you're hooked on Cocteau Twins, the finely-textured and ethereal music of LSD might be just the thing while you're waiting for the next CT album. Although many of the songs here sound quite similar, that's not necessarily a problem; there's not a bad track in the bunch, and the album as a whole has a pleasing, hypnotic quality. It deserves to be heard by a much larger audience. | 19,014 |
0 | Started out fine, but petered out... | Too much time spent on secondary characters or too much time spent apart by the main characters made this very slow reading for me. I really liked Jake to begin with but I eventually came to not really care. The initial conflict was very strong, but then the author seemed to drift off and care more on Jake's in-law's relationship. The final conflict was resolved too easily for me to really buy into it.But it's not all bad. Ms. Wells writing voice is smooth and easy. I'd be interested to see what she comes up with in the future. | 31,729 |
0 | House Atreides | The sublety and dark complexity of the original Dune novels is absent here...the clumsiness and cliche apparent in this book made it a sad disappointment. Only the names remain the same... do yourself a favor and read Dune again. | 13,474 |
0 | Horrible!!!!! | I went to go see Crossroads the weekend it came out. I was coming in the movie with an open mind because I have heard good and bad things about this move. A bunch of my friends went to see it with me and we were all disappointed. Crossroads was such a boring movie!!! It is really short and doesn't have any plot. You can just watch the first 10 minutes of it and predict the rest of the movie. Most importantly their was no climax. Why waste time and money on a movie that has no twist??? This was one of the wrost movies I have seen in a long time. | 891 |
0 | The Mummy-DVD | I haven't received the item above, yet have had two emails to review it. If you've sent it, please verify that it has really gone out. If not, please don't send me another email. Thanks. | 31,318 |
1 | Very effective, creepy short novel | I discovered this book after loving Sara Gran's "Dope" and searching for more of her work. This one is just as good, and completely different: it's a first- person account of a gradual demonic possession. Written in a spare, no-nonsense style, this was very tough to put down. I will definitely be reading more of Gran's work! Definitely recommended for fans of all things creepy. | 24,969 |
0 | horrible | usually the book is better and this situation is no different. this was more of a meant for tv movie that a major motion picture. they could have done better. | 20,697 |
1 | White Elephant Gift | Gave this at Christmas Time for a White Elephant Gift. Last week we hosted a Super Bowl party and the guy that received this helmet, wore it to the party. He seems to enjoy it. | 29,913 |
1 | book for practice rather than learning | This book mainly provides intensive practice problems to first graders. If your child has learned the topics and needs practice to strengthen the skills, this book is for you. It does a fair job of a WORKBOOK. Otherwise you will be disappointed with the lack of teaching and explanations.However, even used as a practice book, I do think the problem items are a bit monotonous and flat. Per a previous review, I tried the free Beestar math (www.beestar.org). It provides mixed bag weekly exercises, indeed more interesting to my son. We like it very much. I suggest you check it out and see if the free one suits your child better. | 13,967 |
0 | I'd rather had the money for Christmas! | What, almost $800 bucks for this POS? Do you have nothing less than 1 star?Don't get me wrong I got this for Christmas and will not return it because it was a gift, but I'd never have purchased it for myself knowing what I know now!Ok lets see, I now have the priviledge to buy dvd converting software to convert my movies I want to watch as I travel, and spend 2-4 hours on each conversion to AVI(divx), and while my computer is at 100% CPU usage (even with athlon 64, 2gigs ram) so I can't get any other WORK done, [and RE-CONVERT them when the conversion doesn't sync the audio with the video] I guess I can read the freakin newspaper for the rest of the week!?Leave it to the <sniff sniff> French to invent a shiny, nice-to-look-at, but very impractical petit morceau de merde!!!G Storey | 32,313 |
1 | Mother's bratz arent appropate | come on mothers they are just toys get a life i am 12 years old i have 25 bratz and my scene dolls and my my doesnt care she thinks there cute and she is an over protective mother so please just give it a bone . | 46,374 |
0 | This is not a book and it's free online anyway | The only thing you need to know about this "book" is that it's not a book at all, but an article that is available for free online as a 10 page PDF file. Google the title and save yourself the $8.95 plus shipping that I spent to find that what was shipped to me I already had on my hard drive. The "book" is 56 pages double spaces and the size of a small birthday card. As to the concepts discussed, I find them highly interesting but in fairness I'm still investigating this subject so I'll leave the analysis to others better qualified but the central theme that knowledge is tacit and created in Japanese firms vs. quantifiable, objective and structured in IT systems in the western world is worthy of consideration. Two stars for this idea having value for anyone looking to re-create the organizational knowledge structure of a company, but I'm being generous. It feels like I got ripped off. | 9,803 |
0 | It's a TV Pilot - what do you expect? | I agree with the reviewer who said "We've found something special!" But we haven't. Very early on you can tell that it's made for TV and not only that but ripe for a series. Sure the good guy's HQ gets destroyed but as they said earlier, they operate in cells so no one knows. Tim Matheson is not known to have died. The death of Sabbath's boy is left open.The writing is only TV grade as is the acting. But if you look at this like it's a TV pilot then you won't be disappointed. BUT don't spend big money on it. I bought mine in the delete bin at a video store for $1.99 - that's about all it is worth.Wait for it to be on TV as I'm sure it will be shown frequently. | 2,348 |
0 | Read the Novel | Some interesting cinematography gives one a little sense of Hell's Kitchen, but the best thing to do is read the novel, Mario Puzo's The Fortunate Pilgrim, for its powerful family tale. Sophia Loren can't quite pull off the character of Lucia Santa. | 35,405 |
0 | Not feelin' this one.......Sorry BJ | Although it was a good try, I didn't care to much for this one. I have read several of her B. Jackson's books. I liked those much better than this one. It wasn't believable, I guess. Although Renee was the one more concerned with race, I didn't see her reacting in those tense situations, nor Tag. It left me wanting to know more about Renee, even though I know it was all about the Elliot's. Ah well. | 36,470 |
0 | Very Grime. Depressing. | The basic plot is about a contagion that quickly spreads and kills, while the medical community races to stop it and create a vaccine. Unlike in the movie Outbreak, Contagion has no needed moments of comic relief. No smiles. No bits of humor. It is grim and depressing throughout. Though that's how things would be in real life should a pandemic breakout out, it provides agonizing entertainment. Despite the many stars, including an appearance by Dr. Sanjay Gupta, I didn't care about any of the characters.Though I'm glad I only rented this DVD, I feel that I wasted my money anyway. | 28,397 |
1 | Queer, odd... fantastic | Fierce Invalids is the pot of gold under the rainbow. Robbins is an evocative and provocative writer who loves to shake the taboo tree... just to see what he can stir.The book is intensly entertaining and even thoughtful if you are so disposed to such things. Tom Robbins as an author is what Vonnegut could have been (if he hadn't been so lazy) and what Davis Foster Wallace only dreams to be.If your a Blue Stater - read it.If your a Red Stater - I'm sure its in audio form.just kidding... almost. | 3,055 |
0 | terrible | first problem: im a computer guy, and he has it all wrong. why, oh why, dont writers consult computer people and ask, "Am I saying this right?"second problem: the dialogue sucks. hard. tell me, when was the last time you heard a furious lawyer, upon finding out about a framed family member, yell out, "Those..Those morons! Those geeks!" uhh, yeah..or how about when the lead finally means the girl? they one-line it, back & forth, for pages and pages. oh, so witty they are, that pair. uh huh. thats how strangers interact.and the villian. boy, he's sadistic, and *crazy*.. why, he's a certified Bad Guy(tm)! so chilling. not. just laughable. all these tired, shallow characters.sigh. i could go on. i bought it overseas and was forced to read it. i even came up with a pretty good essay on how it sucked, but.. why bother.my first and last koonz novel. | 49,414 |
0 | three strikes | I ordered this same electronic dictionary three times and all three times the arriving product did not work. I am guessing it was because in each instance there was no plastic slip protecting the battery from premature contact and discharging.I returned the product those three times. When I decided to then buy the version 1500, it worked perfectly ( AND there was a battery protective plastic layer). | 28,589 |
0 | GPS will not lock! | My Lowrance H2O C is like new, never dropped or abused. It worked fine when I first got it. I stored it for a few months and now it will not lock on GPS at all. I have tried reloading software, soft boot, hard boot, still nothing. Support only says to send it to them with $150 and they will look at it. NO WAY! | 19,425 |
0 | bloated trash | I could not sit through the 2 hours plus of the self righteous biased bloated michael moore without being nauseated. please will someone shoot this guy !!! | 36,662 |
0 | Maybe this plays well with the Art-House crowd, but... | What a lousy movie. Not only do the characters endlessly pontificate (to themselves, no less!), but the director chose to portray American GIs as nothing more than brutal animals. The Japanese, however, are never shown committing atrocities or engaging in misconduct of any kind. History shows otherwise. Such a demeaning, one-sided portrayal of a pivotal Pacific battle could only come from a spoiled Hollywood elitist. | 25,375 |
0 | not worth it | I am so disappointed there are no subtitles, no extra languages. At this price you would think they would put it in the description. Useless to me, they talk soft and music is too high. | 21,237 |
0 | Windows XP-Home Edition | Don't attempt to use this program with the above system or you will have real problems stemming from the fact that Windows XP by default only provides for file sharing and Photoshop requires private folders which is not possible in talking to Dell. Adobe's service leaves too much to be desired. | 38,645 |
0 | Sony blows | ok i bought this product 2 days ago...and im already have a ton of problems with it, it hit really good for the 1st day, im running a 15 inch Crunch power sub and this amp...and now it will run for about 15 seconds then go into Off Set mode, and the only way to get it off is to turn ur reciever off or ur car, no way to stop it from going into off set mode either, its a piece | 28,076 |
0 | Very disappointing | I'm probably the biggest Beach Boys fan I know...but this to me was VERY disappointing...First, I've never heard of a singer songwriter who turns the first two songs over to other lead vocalists...and, sadly, the second song, "Soul Searchin'", is both the best vocal (by Carl, not Brian) and best written song (co-written with Andy Paley) on the album. The 'superstar' duets are the lowpoint, with it being a close tie between Brian doing the 'blues' with Eric Clapton (?), elton John's 1974-sounding pastiche and a wasted use of Paul McCartney's talent (a big fan of Brian). I happened to listen to Brian's first (self-titled) solo album, which made this PALE in comparison, from cover to singing to songwriting to production! Andy Paley, we need you now!!!! | 42,355 |
1 | Great pan!! | Bought this for my daughter and she loves it!! Cooked a prime rib in it and came out perfect, easy clean up!! | 49,039 |
0 | Pay to upgrade and then lose functionality and speed???? | The 2005 upgrade is pretty much garbage. You lose Password Manger, and overall PC speed goes down using the new version. Oh to have my money back again. | 43,258 |
0 | When will this end? | I can't believe my eyes! How could MENSA sponsor another Abbie Salny calendar? This calendar is full of errors, as it is every year. The so called puzzles fall far short of anything clever or original and it remains a huge mystery to my friends and me how something so poorly thought out could ever be published. I received this calendar as a gift and I am so disappointed that a publishing house as reputable as Workman Publishing could allow such a travesty, not to mention the high I.Q.society, MENSA! | 48,160 |
1 | Can Cooler | Excellent item. Works as well as stated, last cooler I'll ever buy as long as I keep a close eye on it and never let anyone "borrow" it. | 47,258 |
0 | Great Material, Unreadable Prose | Mr. Fernicola is badly in need of an editor. Unfortunately, he does not seem to have one, and his book is testament to this on a paragraph by paragraph basis. Filled with mangled phrases, bizarre digressions, lack of narrative coherence, dreadful historical generalizations, pointless personal anecdotes and sappy sentimentality of the most jarring kind. Imagine the worst kind of local history writing - complete with small town boosterism and infatuation with staggeringly boring local trivia. Now imagine it spread out over 330 pages. Avoid at all costs. Really. | 27,781 |
0 | Broken after one day | I got this scooter at a walmart rode it for one full charged time and the time after i charged it i started to press the gas in and then the triger just flew off i didnt press it in that hard me and my friend both bought one at the same time about a day after mine broke the exact thing happend to his it is made out of the cheapest plastic ever dont waste you money on this one i recomend getting the Mongoose Pro scooter it is about $150 dollars but i goes 15 miles per hour takes 5 hrs to fully charge much better than this one | 28,608 |
0 | very boring | I was looking forward to the arrival of this yo-yo, expecting a highly functional toy that could at least handle the basic tricks and stunts. Instead this yo-yo shakes so much it throws off even its basic returns. Next yo yo i get will be of a classic design . | 21,397 |
0 | GET THIS GAME!!!!!!!! | This game is awsom!!!!! if anybody read this im telling you GET THIS GAME!!! You can walk your dog, wash him, teach him tricks, put them in contests. for that person that said it gets boring forget his he probably didnt know how to go into contests and crape!! | 46,498 |
0 | Extremely derivative | Trevanian uses this novel as a soap box for ugly and racist diatribes against all non-Aryans in America. Cruel and nearly pornographic in its violence, Trevanian clearly derives his protagonist, Hamilton Leider from Hannibal Lecter. This novel felt "phoned in". The supposed historical wrap-up defies belief by even Trevanian's most ardent fans. I have read all of his/her books & articles and was thrilled to see a new book after a decade long absence. I will no longer scour the bookshelves looking for future drivel from this source. | 25,747 |
1 | Marmite is really Great | Product was exactly what I expected. Just the same stuff I had in England. Six more words, and three more words. | 35,231 |
0 | A Colossal Waste of Time | I'm a true crime fan, so when I saw this book at the Dollar Tree, I figured I would give it a shot. Now I know why it was in there.The problem with the story is the case isn't that compelling or interesting. It reads like it could've been done in narrative form in about 50 pages. Unfortunately, it's lengthened out by terrible dialogue. Within the first couple of chapters, the author goes on to mention the detectives working the case had a long history together, but their conversations read like two amateur sleuths making conversation by repeatedly stating the obvious mixed with groaning witticisms from the 70's.I actually feel a little bad for the author, who probably spent too long researching the story to abandon it, and had to produce something. Too bad this was the something. | 37,353 |
0 | Do not buy | Terrible toaster. Edges of toast burn at setting No. 2. But at setting No. 1, bread does not toast. Bizarrely, the thing goes up to a setting No. 8, though anything above 3 burns it to charcoal. Hopefully I can return this useless, expensive piece of junk. | 24,723 |
1 | Wildflowers | As a huge Tom Petty fan, I find the statement for this album, "Tom Petty is like a Beatle immitating Bob Dylan," a huge understatement and insult to Petty's maturing music repetoire. After all, this album did win a Grammy the year it was released. The album is beautiful, especially with the use of a full orchestra on certain tracks. It is naive to assume that the music of a true artist will stay stagnant through time, or that without the Heartbreakers' accompanyment, Petty will not come up with something completely original and unique from their sound. This is my favorite Petty album produced so far. It is absolutely flawless. | 37,597 |
0 | Not the original | I actually ordered this DVD not aware it was only a remake of the 1940 movie in black and white that was a lasting memory I had as a young child. In trying to rekindle those memories,I watched about twenty minutes of this version before turning it off. Because the original had left such an indelible memory, I did'nt need to see anymore to know I made a mistake in getting this one. The original starred Billy Lee and Cordell Hickman as the two young boys and I believe it may have even been voted the best piture of 1940. Easily worthy of five stars. This version may still appeal to other people but if they were to see the original I'm sure they'd agree as there's no comparison. | 17,520 |
0 | Ashkenazy at his worst. | Listening to this performance is not unlike drinking diluted wine. You get the basic idea of what you are supposed to be hearing but everything is slow, the piano sounds harsh, and the melodies are played weakly. Just compare Askenazy's performance of the first movements cadenza to Rachmaninoff's own recording. Rachmaninoff is exiting, and he takes off toward the end like a rocket. When the flute comes in it is magical. Askenazy on the other hand plays slowly, and feebly. The base octaves near the end of the cadenza hardly sound. However, because of the slow speed it is easier to hear some details that might not be noticed at a faster speed. The only real highlight of this recording is the exellent sound quality. | 20,686 |
0 | He's definitely lost it | I can't believe anyone likes this album. I grew up with Alan Parsons (Turn of a Friendly card thru Vulture Culture) and always admired him for his ability to break out of the mold and defy convention. This album is trite garbage and sounds like most of the urban adult contemporary junk out there on the Clearchanell stations these days. I was actualy so shocked by the lousiness of this album that I threw it away. Seriously. If you liked Pyramid, Eye in the Sky, Ammonia Avenue and other great albums by this fellow, don't wreck your appreciation of this long gone talent by buying this piece of plastic. 5.1 ? Who cares...it's just 4 more channels of yuck. | 14,911 |

1 | IT'S ABOUT TIME | A BOOK THAT FINALLY TELLS THE INTERESTING STORY OF THE BRILLIANT (AND TROUBLED) TEXAS SINGER/SONGWRITER DANIEL JOHNSTON | 44,975 |
1 | Will Smith at his comedic best | What a movie, that's all I can say. Will Smith is at his comedic best in this sci-fi movie that for about 10 seconds makes you actually think. This is a great no brainer movie to watch, so when you are ready to relax and watch a funny movie, watch MIB. Tommy Lee Jones is an unknown and non-existing agent for a non existent and unknown law enforcement/immigrations officer for illegal and legal aliens...Extra-terrestial aliens. At the end of this movie it has you looking at that guy down the street wondering if inside that humanoid body is a little alien with controls like a car. Will Smith is a NYPD detective with an attitude and a big head, but he is in for piece of humble pie as Jones takes him into his world! | 2,780 |
0 | Great to hear some old familiar songs, but songs to short. | Many of the songs listed were amoung my favorites, I was so excited to hear this CD. But when I recieved it. Each song listed only has a verse or two and is part of a 3-4 song blend all crammed into a 4 minute song track. So you really don't get the full enjoyment of the whole song. You only get about a minute of each song. The rendition of danny boy was terrible. The song has a terrible background music you'd find on an electric piano keyboard under cheesey DANCE beat. Seriously a dance beat to Dannyboy? Other than the dannyboy fiasco and the briefness of each song grouped on each track, the music was pretty good, I loved hearing all the songs my grandfather and his brothers would sing, like Moonshiner. But I would prefer to listen to the full version of my favorite pub songs. Not the condensed combinations of one or two versus of several songs crammed into one track on the cd. The songs just didn't flow. I'd recommend a different CD. | 22,384 |
0 | Worth the price, but not much information | This appears to be a good little reference for getting vendor links as to where to purchase inexpensive promotion-related-web services for the do-it-yourself-er. My reading is that the author has tried many of these services, and offers some tips on which ones are qualified.It is not much of a book though, as its 100 pages can easily be compacted to 50, since the publisher uses double and triple line spacing. It's not an introduction for the beginner because it's too skimpy. A beginner is probably best served by first reading other books about promotions and then gathering tips from this book on how to cut costs. The techniques presented are accurate and elementary. | 20,412 |
1 | NEW FOUND GLORY ROCKS MY SOCKS OFF | NEW FOUNG GLORY IS THE COOLEST BAND EVER!!!!!! ALL OF THEIR CDS ARE EXTREMLY WELL MADE AND VERY UNIQUE, BUT THIS ONE IS BY FAR THE BEST ONE I'VE HEARD YET. THEY EXPERIMENTED WITH A NEW "HEAVIER" APPROACH TO THEIR SONGS LIKE "ALL DOWNHILL FROM HERE", AND "YOUR BIGGEST MISTAKE", WHILE AT THE SAME TIME,EXPERIMENTING WITH SOFTER VERSIONS, LIKE "I DON'T WANNA KNOW" AND "WHO AM I". THEY ALSO HAVE MANY SONGS WITH THAT TRADIONAL "NEW FOUND GLORY SOUND". I DEFINATLY THINK YOU SHOULD GO OUT AND BUY THIS CD IMMEDIATLY. P.S. THAT GUY WHO WROTE THE REVIEW "OMG, these guy's suck!!!!" NEEDS TO SHUT UP. I THINK HE'S A POSER BECAUSE HE THINKS HE'S TOO COOL TO LISTEN TO NEW FOUND GLORY AND SIMPLE PLAN. PEACE OUT | 40,044 |
0 | misleading video | The T V show "Hail to the chief" starring Patty Duke Astin is believed to be what is on the video. But only the 41 presidents is on the video. I have yet to get the TV show on video. | 28,462 |
0 | Camera died after 6 months. | At first I thought this was a great camera, the only downfall was the batteries would drain too quickly. It was also annoying that the batteries and picture card were under the same cover. I bought this camera in July 2006. Then in January 2007 it completely died on me. I couldn't even get the lens to close. I finally brought it to a repair shop and they said the motherboard went on it. The total cost for labor and parts would be $128. I checked and for the price this camera is selling for I'm not sure if it's worth it to repair. | 20,821 |
0 | Made our dog sick. | We switched to Nutro Lite Dry recently, and it had very negative effects on our Black Lab. The food itself was being digested, but approx 8 hours after eating she would vomit bile. This went on for about a week before we did a search online on reviews of the brand and found a lot of recent reports saying this same Nutro brand was causing other dogs to have the same symptoms. In some cases, people with 3 dogs, saw all 3 dogs start vomiting after changing to Nutro. When all was said and done, I tossed out the remaining Nutro and went back to her previous brand. She has not vomited since. This is obviously not the case with all dogs, but keep in mind you may want to test this brand by purchasing a small bag before purchasing something large. I'm just glad our dog didn't have permanent problems. | 44,892 |
0 | If you want to know your true weight don't buy this scale | I bought this scale because it was digital and thought the brand Homedics was reliable. When I rcvd it, I followed the instructions, installed the battery, got on scale to set it and then back on to get my weight. Later on that night I got on it again and was 2 lbs less than earlier, my diet was really working I thought. The next morning I weighed myself and was 3 lbs less than that, I know they always say you way less in the morning but that much? That night I weighed in again and was back to my original weight of the day before, I had gained it all back !! I knew the scale was wrong because I weighed my daughter who is 32 lbs and her weight was coming in at up to 37 lbs at times. I even moved the scale around to different areas of the floor to see if mabye it was due to the floor being uneven but it didn't change.So... the scale is going back and I'm going to order a good old fashion scale with a dial. | 26,071 |
0 | Disappointed | I'm always looking for ways to improve my life based upon God's ways and that is why I chose this book to help me improve my health. However, I was very disapointed in this book. It was more of a personal story instead of an instruction book on how to get and maintain better health. After the first few chapters, I finally stopped reading the book because it took too long to get to the point. | 32,939 |
0 | Total Physco | Yes this lady is physco, and you are trying to figure out what she is really trying to achieve. It was funny, and odd at the same time. Probably a waist of time. | 38,723 |

1 | Great worship CD! | I love this CD not just for its catchy songs but for the worshipful atmosphere it creates whenever I listen to it. I get frustrated with "Christian" music that does nothing more than induce a vaguely cheerful emotion. I want music that focuses my mind and heart on the Lord, not on my emotions. Pray does just that with lyrics that praise and honor God. I also appreciate the fact that Rebecca St. James' lyrics are simple to remember - after just a few times of hearing her songs, I find myself singing them all day! Be sure not to miss the hidden song "Be Thou My Vision" on the last track. It is the best version of the best hymn I have heard to date. I highly recommend this CD and would like to thank Ms. St. James for offering a CD that gives glory to the Lord God. | 22,566 |
1 | This is a beautiful book | I bought this book for my grandson's 3rd birthday which is coming up soon.I'm sure he will love it. I bought a different book for my Granddaughter about the night when she was born. I like this one much better. It is geared more toward the young child. | 10,430 |
1 | Excellent | What a great book. The author just oozes old timey experience. He didn't dumb down the material. He does cover some detail of XDR and RPC, which I find rather welcome actually. Other prerequisites are expected to be met before reading the book which delves into all kinds of aspects about NFS.This fine Addison-Wesley tome is an excellently welcome reference right alongside the works of Stevens, etc. in my library.Amazon lists this as paperback-only, but I delightedly lucked into a hardbound copy from a used marketplace seller. Hooray! | 31,800 |
1 | Great book! | My son started out reading this series but - being a very avid reader myself - I read the first book in this series to 'check out' what he was reading. I got 'hooked'. Super story line and very interesting books. Kathryn Lasky is a fabulous writer. | 25,233 |
1 | Beautiful! | I love this cd. Toni Braxton's voice is absoluely beautiful. I have never really been a big fan, but now I am. This cd is great. | 36,235 |
1 | Tasty, Healthy Treat is Wheat, Soy and Dairy-Free | TEDDY PUFFS are a tasty, healthy treat. My toddler enjoys them. I have taste tested them (just for research, you understand), and like them, too.I especially like that they are not overly sweet. In the course of searching for some good wheat and dairy free finger foods, I have found that many cereals are far sweeter than I want to feed to my child, even "health food" brands.One thing you will want to know about them is that they are a little denser and crisper than you might expect a "puff" to be. The texture is closer to that of a biter biscuit than a crumbly cookie. My toddler does not have any molars yet, and has to work on a TEDDY PUFF for a while before he can swallow it. | 9,551 |
1 | Vornado 630 | This is exactly what I was looking for. It doesn't take up that much space but it really moves the air in the room. It actually helped me put off using the AC for a while. I still use the fan even with the AC as it circulates the air so well. I would highly recommend this product to everyone.Vornado Midsize 630 Air Circulator, 3 Speeds, CR1-0074-06 | 45,243 |
0 | defective | I purchased this 4 pack which even came with a free extra one, but when it came time to replace the head it came off in two pieces, requiring a pliers to remove the part stuck to the base, of course it was after the 30 days alloted to return , so I will use the heads but will not buy anymore from this merchant | 371 |
0 | dissapointed | I bought this album with high expectations.I must say i was very dissapointed.I couldnt wait to get after hearing Kiss Your Ass Goobye and Street Music but unforuntley they are two of the only bright spots on the album.If i sing is a terrible song, he could of used any of his other diss songs about 50 instead of this one.And then critcizes 50 and then puts out One Name, which is laughable.I recommend that no one buy this album.Instead download the before mentioned bright spots. | 5,261 |
1 | an enchanting childhood the whole family can enjoy aloud | our whole family enjoyed this book aloud, and we heartily second all the expressions of enchantment and tears. Our 8 and 11 year olds cried at the dual parting at the end of the book, the Durrells leaving Corfu and yes, the book ending for us. Truth be known, we all had tears.If you are considering homeschooling, as we do, this book can be reassuring to parents that there can be learning without school. I was proud of my children's appreciation of the book, and felt it set a good and accessible example for them of the wonder with which we can view the world, learning from nature and appreciating the human and other living inhabitants.The dynamics of the family with each sibling carving out their own niches are lovingly and humorously described and will probably ring true with your own family. | 15,648 |
1 | Brian McKnight, the master of R&B! | I have always been a fan of Brian McKnight. His soulful ballads are all that. Brian has always had a great musical career and Back At One is a quantum leap forward in his career. The title track is my favorite on the CD; Brian's voice puts depth to an otherwise bland melody, and it works! My other favorites are "Cherish," "Shall We Begin" and "Stay or Let Go." This is not his best work; he hasn't outdone I Remember You, his second CD. But if you want to listen to a true R&B vocalist, listen to Brian McKnight's Back At One. Curl up on the couch with your girlfriend and enjoy! | 41,442 |
0 | This Won An Award? | I eagerly awaited the arrival of this book, but was sorely disappointed. Granted, the language was challenging at times (I kept a dictionary close by), but I just couldn't empathize with the main character, Max. The story dragged on. I couldn't wait to finish it (I swore I would). What a waste of time. I'll be giving this book away at the next yard sale. | 14,403 |
0 | Poor recorded sound | I just opened the Colby CD250 and heard some great sounds from CD, cassette and radio. But recording them was another story. When recording from a CD,a big hiss can be heard between tracks and during soft sounds of the songs. The unit is supposed to have a volume leveler. It does not. The sound quality of recorded music from CD or radio is very poor. It plays back distorted and, if from CD, the hiss I mentioned before. The unit is good for tapes recorded elsewhere, CDs and radio. But if you want a unit to record CDs or radio, get something else. | 35,416 |
0 | The Sharpener is already bad. | The sharpener doesn't work so the replacement blades I bought at the same time are nothing to recommend either. Don't buy it. | 2,289 |
1 | Good Source of Information | Purchased this book for veterinary school and plan to use it for the rest of my life. It is a well organized book and filled with information and differentials for each type of increase or decrease on blood panels/urinalysis/etc. ADEQUATE SHIPPING TIME, PERFECT CONDITION UPON ARRIVAL. | 1,593 |
1 | superb guide to cuban rhythms - INCLUDES CD | I agree with everyone who loves this book, which combines the historical scholarship of Fernando Ortiz with careful transcriptions of New York-based bata drummers, including Jesus Perez, Julio Collazo, and Puntilla.This book is all rhythms, marvelous if you are a drummer or other musician, do not get this if you are looking for a history of santeria.This book DOES include the CD, which is indispensable for learning the rhythms. There is only one ISBN for the BOOK/CD set, which is 0-941677-70-2. If your copy doesn't contain the CD, return it for one that does, and do NOT buy the CD from dealers who try to sell it separately for as much as $200 on Amazon marketplace and elsewhere.Happy drumming! | 38,376 |
0 | Lifespan of less than a year | I wish I still had my receipt for this waste of money. After less than a year, there are only a few spots that actually warm up, and the rest is cold. Total junk. | 25,044 |
1 | Jackie Robb is the greatest writer since sliced bread. | I read Jackie Robb's Britney book and I just had to read what she said about Christina! Even though Britney is better, we still like Christina and this book tells all! I think everybody should read about Christina and want to be like her! | 14,309 |
0 | Never received | I have never received this item since I bought it a month ago. The seller just deceives the buyer. It is very frustrating when you are cheated by the seller. | 40,183 |
0 | Disgusting | This is the WORST thing I have ever heard!!What is the matter with that girl!?Has she no shame!!I just don't understand how they could produce and market this AWFUL thing!I swear to you I truly felt sick just listening to the previews of this cd.I'm telling you I just wanted to smack her!I am telling you this girl has no telant!i'm not even compairing her to Amy Lee!All I have listened to was the previews,and I happy to say I didn't waste my money and buy this cd! | 9,564 |

1 | Luxury in a bottle | I love this item, it's wonderful to have warm lotion. The item came very quickly and works great. | 37,592 |
1 | satisfied | The bowl lookes like the picture, the price was excellent considering what you would pay if ordered directly from a tupperware dealer. | 43,471 |
1 | Precision Deadheading Tool, But Don't Push it! | I always have this tool on me when I'm in the yard. It's perfect for dead heading dense flowering plant without accidentally snipping the neighboring blooms. It has a very sharp and strong blade so you can cut only using the very tip of the sheer. Because the point is so narrow and sharp, it comes with a orange rubber sheath to protect the blade while it's in your pocket.My only gripe with this tool is the flimsy orange clasp which breaks off very easily if you are not careful. I've owned several copies of these sheers and I've manage to break off the clasp on all three of them by clipping branches a little larger than recommended. Fortunately, the orange sheath keeps the blades closed, assuming you don't loose it. | 8,270 |
1 | Looks and sounds good, no battery backup | Bought this unit a year ago for my daughter and I am still happy with it. Sound is OK for the small size of the unit (maybe a little "hidden") and probably as good as the sound of significantly bigger boom boxes. Quality seems to be OK for the price, although I must say that all these units are over priced. Setting the time is very easy (but it is still easy to forget how to do it). The display is big and easy to read and my daughter does not mind that the light on the display is always on (I would have). My biggest complaints are no battery backup (so you need to remember how to set the time) and no MP3 playback (would not buy another unit today that does not play MP3). Recommended. | 49,986 |
1 | Birds of Chile | Since I had traveled to Chile, I wanted a book to look up all the birds I saw there. The book arrived in good shape and I look forward to identifying birds I saw in Chile. | 12,893 |
1 | Love it !! but the DVD needs to have more features | The episodes are full of action and mistery, I really liked all of them. The only thing that I would like to have is the Subtitles in english in the DVD versions and multi-language.Good to have in the my science fiction library. | 32,686 |
1 | this shouldn't be out of print | This is such a good resource for any new parent. So glad someone still had a new copy available and in better condition than I prayed for. Could not be happier in the acquisition. Seller very prompt and easy to work with.Thanks again. | 18,991 |
1 | Guns of Will Sonnett | We have enjoyed this immensely. Excellent TV Western and Walter Brennan provides clean wholesome entertainment. We particularly enjoy his prayer at the end of each episode. I never got to see this as a teenager, but always wanted to see it and as always enjoy Walter Brennan. | 42,389 |
0 | A soundtrack without the soundtracks | This is NOT worth the money. its a soundtrack that's missing so many of the songs its not worth getting. dont' waste your money | 4,257 |
1 | I love The X-men | I have seen a first hand look at this game and it looks good. It will help me pass the time while I wait for the real great x-men game in december. This game is the second instalment to the gameboy version. I am pre-ordering it as soon as I can. | 17,099 |
1 | Rad Bad and the Saber Tooth Tiger | Bought this because the son of a dear friend wrote it, but I think it is a great book for about a sixth grader.. With thoughts of faith and morals it is also some interesting moments of suspense while the characters travel and meet several obstacles.. Interesting tale... | 6,547 |
1 | This is the way a series should end | The show remained true to its roots and finished in a stylish appropriate fashion. The only negative about this DVD was the dearth of extras. What few they had weren't worth the bother. | 24,602 |
0 | stop the madness | It's bad enough that they put out CD's. Now they have videos. Backstreet Boys, come save me! | 15,856 |
0 | Dont Waste Your Time! | What a truly terrible book. John Gibsons writing is too wordy and doesnt easily get to the point. This is 180 page book that could have easily been written in 5 pages. Gibson's main points are that the ACLU is evil and political correctness has gone too far. Both points might be correct but he just never gets to the point and just runs on and on about irrelevant beack information for pages and pages. Skip this book. Its not worth your time and won't peak your interest. Catchy title, terrible book. | 29,916 |
1 | Very pleased | I love Pampers diapers. The diapers never leak even at nighttime or long road trips with our babies. | 11,698 |
