1 | Interesting reading!! | My wife bought a copy of Michael Wilson's book for me and I thought, "Why would I want to read a medical book on arthritis" I lived to eat those words. Michael Wilson's writing is totally reader focused with understandable terms and great illustrations. He comes across as very human and very interested in educating the general public about arthritis and "all those other aches and pains". I thoroughly enjoyed this book and learned a lot from it. I highly recommend it. | 38,803 |
0 | Frank Herbert did this better | And in fewer words, in his short story "Rat Race", which you can find in his collection /Eye/. Skip it unless you're a huge Forever War fan. | 32,949 |
1 | A fabulous book - and useful to boot! | i love design books, but truthfully, some are way too far out there for my tastes - and then some are ho-hum and uninformative. this is a really, really great book - not only are the designers extremely interesting individuals - but their personal tastes are actually out there for the taking. i might not have loved each of their homes - but i loved the fact that THEY loved them! also great about this book - and maybe my favorite part (aside from the TERRIFIC photos - wow) are the super great hints each designer gives at the end of her segment - they are actual USEABLE and DOABLE! | 25,045 |
1 | Necessary for understanding Christianity | Whether you like it or not, this book defines Christianity for modern evangelicals more than any other text, excepting perhaps Matthew and Romans in the New Testament. Lewis is at his rhetorical and biblical finest. If you cannot admire his mastery of the form at the least, you ought get therapy for self-deception. | 4,250 |
0 | If you can find sadeness (pt.1) as single, stay away.... | With the exception of that song, this is truly the worst album which I have ever heard. And I've heard all of David Gray's albums. I bought this album on the strength of the undisputed classic sadeness, and turned it on to hear pathetic female exhortations for me to turn off the lights and 'meditate' which I studiously ignored. Then came the classic, followed by several samey, terrible songs. The album reaches its nadir with 'The principles of lust' which is one of the worst songs I've ever heard. The female 'singer' must be disposed of now.I bought this album expecting to hear the greatest work ever recorded, and am extremely disappointed.PS- An interesting story A friend of my brother was suspended from school for repeatedly chanting Sadeness (PT.1) at a teacher, who called it 'The Devil's song' PPSIt probably isn't. Enigma pretend to be devil worshippers but the reality is even more pathetic. | 15,054 |
1 | good addition to KitchenAid mixer | We purchased grinder to grind deer meat. Did a very nice job, we ran the meat thru the large grinding plate first, then thru the smaller holed plate. Cleaned all attachment parts in dishwasher came out very clean. Would recommend. | 49,964 |
1 | Please, some poetic license! | The plot, characters, and prose of this book have been well analyzed by the many reviewers, and I see no need to add my opinions on these issues. I will, however, comment about the lack of quotation marks. Given that publishers do have literate staffs, I assume that the omission was deliberate, and, in my view, very effective! I found that without quotation marks, the dialog and descriptions interspersed and flowed seamlessly. The characters' conversation became part of the greater whole of the novel and the portrait it creates. So don't be concerned when the characters speak without punctuation, just sit back and enjoy the ride. I certainly did! | 25,847 |
1 | Disturbing...there's now three | There are three books out recently that truly disturbed me: Blindness, The Road, and Never Let Me Go. Now, all three are movies. Did I find the movies as disturbing as the original books? Yes! Did I watch each of them twice? Yes! The topics they cover and the way the stories are told are meant, in my humble opinion, to question ourselves about what we do do under similiar circumstances. How would we treat our neighbors, those less fortunate, those that keep their hope despite the changes in their world(s), those that end up sacrificing their lives. The moviemakers who tackle such difficult topics should be commended, not condemed for lack of plot or not sticking to the explanation to everything rules. | 2,627 |
0 | Non-existant support and no linux drivers | Twice I've requested support via their web page and twice they've ignored it. No linux drivers (get an Intel - they are working on drivers for their cards). Uses secretive and, in my opinion, obsolete TI chip. Don't go anywhere near this turkey or anything else from USR (or TI). | 22,268 |
1 | amazing! | Oswald is the best and this is an excellent collection of his stuff. Plus it has a super fascinating documentary on ub iwerks - the real talent behind disney! really great stuff that i didnt know! | 7,798 |
0 | Did not work-had to return-utter frustration | Don't think this was Sonys' fault. They have great products, but this camera was broken on arrival-auto focus didn't work. Also, and most annoying, it was clear that the box had been opened and tampered with prior to shipping. This one is on Amazon. Return was a hassle, won't use Amazon again. | 40,330 |
1 | Silva Lensatic 36o Compass | I got this compass for my grab and go bag,My hubby says the compass works. he has done a lot of camping . I have not.This is my first compass,the case is very well made and yes it glows in the dark, if you put it under a light.I am sure I will have no trouble finding my way around, should I need to get out of Dodge fast.I just love Amazon their shipping and service is quick.I know I can count on them for almost anything I need. Amazon Thee place to shop | 9,038 |
1 | Yamaha Yfm350 Atv Hayne's Automotive Repair Manual | Yamaha Yfm350 Atv Hayne's Automotive Repair Manual was in fair condition. a few pages was loose, but readable, and stuffed in the book loosely. took some time to arrive. was worth the price. | 20,102 |
1 | Followup -- The compiler works. | With a tip from the author, I could make the compiler work. The compiler directive 'MAIN' has to be included to make the sample1 program link. With the book and a working compiler, I am happy at my progress in learning COBOL. | 19,455 |
0 | The definition of SELL OUT!!!!!!!!!!! | This is absolute junk, if you look up "sell out" in the dictionary there'll be a picture of "the black eyed peas". It started with the Dr. Pepper commercial, then this horrible album came out. They actually went out and acquired a model to lip sync/dance and show off her body. Then there's the nba playoffs commercial, xm radio commercial, and the garfield movie commercial. I'm just saying that I'm completely disappointed, their first two albums were amazing, and then they come out with this. It's too bad and money can ruin people like this. | 29,043 |
1 | Great for workouts and general playback. | I use this device all the time. My arms are too big for the strap but I just activate the lock button and put it in my pocket during runs and weight workouts. As with just about all of these MP3 players, you will need to find better headphones. | 15,071 |
0 | If you're a liberal-progressive who knows nothing about this book, then buy it. Otherwise, save your time and money. | I knew I was in trouble when I was a few pages into the book and the author said you're an ignoramus if you don't think humans have induced global warming. I didn't learn anything I didn't already know. If you want to read a 350 page book with a liberal bias towards this subject then yeah, it's 5 stars. Woo hoo! Seriously though, it's filled with a lot of fluff and half of the book doesn't even talk about oil, it talks about alternate energies and why America isn't being liberal-progressive about it like Europe. I only finished this book because I was riding the train to work everyday and had nothing better to do. I bought it for $5 and over paid. | 49,199 |
1 | The best, most tasteful, & effective sex book ever written. | The One Hour Orgasm works. It demonstrates with pictures and words, how to master, to the delight of your sex partner, the famous "Venus Butterfly" technique. Expect an immediate improvement in your sex life no matter how good it is now. A great way to put the spark back in your relationship by making sex better for both her and him. Also, teaches you how to avoid the biggest mistakes couples make in the bedroom during and after the honeymoon period of their relationship. The One Hour Orgasm will definitely improve anyone's skill and confidence in the bedroom. It is also a lot of fun to practice the Venus Butterfly technique on each other. | 17,220 |
0 | Film with erroneous facts to tarnish Islam | This is not recommended to anybody wants to know the true history of Islam with an open mind. Prophet Mohammed was an illeterate which is endorsed by all the historical facts - there is no contradiction about this. There is no way that he read the bible or anyother holy book as he was illiterate. This is a propaganda film to tarnish Islam, the only true religion of God, through media. God will surely punish whoever tarnish a true religion with all the misleading facts. | 30,269 |
1 | $15 on www.raypeat.com | This is an AWESOME resource that every woman should have. At times, Dr. Raymond Peat's writing is a little advanced, but stick with it. Everything will be explained in lay terms and real life application. While I feel the information is worth every penny of $40 - $90, you can purchase the book directly from Dr. Peat for $15. I suggest a subscription to his bi-monthly newsletter as well. | 21,075 |
0 | Don't Do IT!!!!!! | I absolutely love Rush Limbaugh. But I gotta come clean here. This video totally blows. It's just a lame attempt to make money by recycling bits and pieces of video that were probably funny back in the day, but taken out of context, leave most of their humor behind.Having said that, I simply MUST respond to a recent reviewer who said "I think this book is only funny to those who consume mass quanities (sic) of oxycontin" and "...I think he might have been high while writing this book and I wasn't while reading it." Ummm.....Hello? You READ a VHS tape? You didn't bother to watch it before reviewing it? Probably the most confusing "book" in the world....can't seem to get the pages open. I guess Rush was right. Sometimes you really do just gotta laugh. | 5,156 |
0 | No Excuses for This | This CD is just lame, boring, re-hashed pseudo-desert rock. The singer's voice has that annoying Creed-like bellow and the lyrics are some of the dumbest I've ever heard. (lots of pointless non-sequiters & pathetic stabs at "cleverness" that fall flat.) It's all very professional & well-produced, but soul-deadening in it's mediocrity.Not surprisingly, the local music press in Phoenix has fallen all over themselves to praise this garbage. Equally unsurprising is that no one outside of AZ could care. And neither should you. | 10,108 |
1 | A Cut Above | Nice design; comfortable, cuts well and comes with replacement wires. I don't think the marketing information mention the extra wires - a big plus. | 18,788 |
0 | MISSING VIDEO | I -ONLY- bought this CD because of the promised video of "Thank You Maked Man". This is NOT the "enhanced version" as promised. The Thank You Masked Man [CD-ROM Track] is missing from the disc. | 33,213 |
0 | Great show, but... | This DVD set comes as a slap in the face to all of the MacGyver fans who purchased seasons 1-7 individually. While the folks at Paramount are lining their pockets, we are deliberating over whether or not we should spend $100 in order to own the two movies that should have been included as bonus material in the first place. I submit that all angry customers (and from the looks of these reviews, there are many) should voice their concerns by e-mailing Paramount Home Video and demanding that the movies be released seperately.MacGyver is the best show ever. It deserves so much more... | 31,444 |
0 | Adequate until they quit | While they lasted, the sound was pretty good. The signal would hiccup sometimes, but it didn't bother me. I was surprised by the quality of the bass. It was disappointing that they required so dang many batteries - Six C's in each speaker, not to mention the transmitter and remote. There are A/C adapters for the speakers and transmitters though.However, after about 2 months of indoor use, the transmitter started to futz out. Over the course of a week or two, it went from losing signal for 10 minutes at a time to 30 minutes or more. It's not a transmission problem - the transmitter "signal" light goes off, meaning it thinks it's not getting sound and therefore isn't transmitting - I tried it with a couple different input devices with the same result. Can't use these speakers for much if they can't get a signal. Very expensive trash. | 19,707 |
0 | 1 track makes the disc worth the price. | I was disappointed in the sameness of most of the tunes on this recording. "Cool Water," however, with Ms. Mitchell and Willie Nelson made the purchase well worth the price. This creative and imaginitive arrangement will probably never be matched. It kind of makes one wish for an avant garde Sons of the Pioneers singing group. | 38,121 |
1 | I like it | I purchased this a couple of months ago and have had a chance to use it several times. The first time I put it on I was a little apprehensive about the way it fit, but I did get used to the fit pretty quickly. It is a little strange to have the bottom sitting on your chin and not under it, but the mask seals fine for me. I would guess that if you have a long face, the mask may not work, but it fits my face fine. If fact- I don't even notice how it fits anymore.It seals, keeps the dust out and keeps my safety glasses from fogging up. The only complaint (and it's minor) I have is that I've has some condensation issues, but that's probably due to the cold temps in the garage when I'm working. Besides- a damp mask is much better than brown lung.I'll never go back to the safety masks again. | 24,455 |
1 | Absolutely Hilarious For This Lapsed Catholic! | I don't know if you will find this as hilarious as I did if you have no Catholicism in your past. However, if you do, this cross-pollinating of the Roman Catholic Church with the advertising industry was LOL funny. An ad man, on the lam from the law, is forced to pass himself off as a priest using his twin brother's clothes and job. Naturally, he brings all of his talents for media spin and hype to use against the church when it tries to close down his job site, The Care Center. This could have only been set in L.A. for maximum effect and it is. I must read Fitzhugh's earlier books now that I've read this one. | 47,167 |
0 | Envy Girls 4 Disc Set | I thought this was going to be a high impact exercise video. It was everything but that. | 20,137 |
1 | just plain Awsome!!! | this movie is great! Carnosaur and Carnosaur 2 is magnificent, the rest are just awful. but Carnosaur and Carnosaur 2 are the best and are highly recomended for a day when you are board or just need somethin to pass the time. or just to watch with your girlfriend to put your arm over her shoulder. hehe. the Novel is great too. | 29,517 |
0 | Stopped after watching half of it | This movie was so slow, we stopped watching after the first half. The next day, we thought we'd try again, but just couldn't get ourselves motivated to watch such a slow moving movie. What a disappointment! | 18,707 |
1 | Charming, nostalgic story of American children in Lebanon. | This is a charming story for older children depicting the life of an American missionary family in Lebanon. Although some of the events may be fictitious, the children, the old house, and the village of Shemlan are all real, as are details like the oak tree with the concrete-filled hollow, the vineyard terraces, the missing stair railing, the fossils, Slanty Rocks, and quartz-rich Crystal Mountain itself. Set in the early part of this (20th) century, the author describes the childhood adventures of herself and of her siblings with village residents and in the surrounding hills. The nostalgic feeling is reinforced by delightful illustrations by Ernest H. Shepard of Winnie-the-Pooh fame. It is sad to note that the house, built by a feudal lord in the 1860s, was severely damaged during the war in the 1980s, and many of the trees were cut. | 10,812 |
1 | Required for DK fans | In the eighties, I heard second hand DK songs on worn tapes that weren't on the albums and could never find them. Thankfully, they are all here. This is an outstanding DK release! | 15,383 |
1 | Works fine, reasonable price | This piece works exactly as described. Two 4-pin connectors connect in to create one 6-pin connector. The cables were long enough to reach from my power supply to the back of the video card. It was nice not having to purchase a new power supply!As some of the other reviews said, the connection ends are a little cheap-ish. I was actually able to push the 6-pin end into the back of my video card UPSIDE DOWN! The pins were shaped correctly, but I was still able to push them in, likely due to the cheapness of the plastic. Luckily I stopped before I powered up the unit and inserted it the correct way. Just don't do what I did...look closely and make sure the pins are going in the right direction.But once again, I have had no issues running my new video card. Steam games are FULL STEAM AHEAD! | 5,737 |
0 | Not impressed | I purchases this book after reading the other rave reviews. It does include some interesting words, and I really appreciate the examples of usage in a sentence. However, for the person who is searching for creative wording, the book does not offer a large selection of choices. This book might be a nice supplement to a substantive thesaurus like Roget's, but don't expect it to be a great reference. Personally, I wish I hadn't spent the money. | 47,811 |
1 | RAW James!! | If you're looking for a blockbuster, check out MTV. If you want RAW riffs, drums, and vocals, buy St. Anger.If your friends said it was going to be better than ...and justice for all., GO AND BUY Justice and judge for yourself!! Me? I think the music is raw, heavy, fast yet long, and did I mention RAW?!!If you're a Metallicat Fan, BUY! If not, hmmm..., ...! buy it anyway! It's only a few bucks. ...study the lyrics and buy Summer Sanitarium tickets (because you can't have mine! [@the Vet]) | 40,195 |
0 | BUYER BEWARE - BACKUP YOUR COMPUTER FIRST!!! | I started on IBM PCJr's in the mid 1980's, and have built several of my own computers. That being said, this programPhotostory on CD & DVD 5is undoubtedly the worst I've have ever paid money for. After installation, over half of my programs would not work, including Yahoo, iTunes, and Adobe Elements. Booting up, my computer kept popping the error boxes stating many of my programs that were shutting down due to memory violations and missing files. Half of my Start Menu programs were missing, and the links to System Restore were gone. When I forced a System Restore, I was advised that the .dll's were missing. GREAT. After manually deleting the three installed program over several hours, the links to System Restore were restored, but all the restore points had been deleted. This program CD is now a frisbee. I refused to even contact the company for tech support due to the severity of the installation errors. What a nightmare. | 39,551 |
0 | Don't Buy it - minus 5 stars | After turning the game on you have to push the A key a couple of 100 times to get through some story background - I don't care I want to play the game. After going back and forward and up and down a few elevators and into some rooms where people wanted money - of which I had none and didn't know how to get - despite the story I gave up and played a different game.I will not buy another Mario game. | 34,514 |
0 | Yep, NO Trash Trucks | So, I read the reviews. My boy is 4.5 so he's able to listen to the wealth of information it tells you about Garbage and Recycling, but he was sooooo disappointed that there were no trash trucks in action.If you kid likes to learn and likes hearing about the "how" then this will be great for them. If you he/she just wants to see some garbage trucks in action, forget it. | 39,700 |
1 | Changes | There are few albums that makes you wonder. When listening to Beck's sea change for example you start wondering how devastating breaking up can get that it will turn a Comic and happy white Prince like artist to a melancholic `I'm not sure I will live to sing my next song' Dylan. It's his first album that you don't envy his talent, don't admire his vital energies you just start preparing your self to the day she will walk away and you just wont have Ningel Gordich's phone number to help you sing the pain. These kind of albums makes you become evil sometimes as well.. there a few singers that cry so harmonically that you wish they will stay that way until the next time they will walk in to their studio. Five tears indeed. | 41,631 |
0 | Get on with it already | This is a great series, no doubt, but Harry Turtledove is dragging his feet. I'm tired of the Machiavellian sneaking around, I'm tired of the pointless subplots (please retire Auerbach and Sommers as quickly as possible), and most of all, I'm tired of The Race abusing the Human Race over and over and over. It's about time to return to open warfare. I want to see M1 battle tanks driving all over the face of Home and I want to see F-14 fighter jets swatting the Lizard air force like flies. I want to see a final, large, and epic battle to, at the very least, end the occupation of Earth and possibly begin the occupation of The Empire. Just my thoughts. | 29,934 |
0 | A Bad Experiment | Liars has done some good work. I know everyone has their own tastes. I thought their earlier work was a lot better. This is very painful to listen to. The songs are not at all pleasurable to listen to. Now here comes my controversial statement... It is by far one of the worst indie rock albums I have ever heard. It may very well be the worst in my mind. No offense to any Liars fans, but this is really bad. There's nothing wrong with experimental music or trying new things. Maybe this is just a bad experiment. Liars are talented musicians, I mean if Angus Andrew can get a girl like Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, then he must be talented. But, this album is not up to par. | 48,078 |
0 | First Simpsons Season I WIll Not Buy. | As a long time fan of the Simpsons (They began to air when I was 4) I have gotten every season released so far.I like listening to the commentaries and checking out the extras.The Simpsons box sets have always set a high standard, filled to the brim with extras and commentaries on every episode.That is one thing that originally set it apart from some other series, the disc full of commentary.It is sad that this was an obviously a rushed job, and I sadly will not buy it.Hopefully if enough people boycott and complain they will release an improved version.I feel bad for the people who already bought it and expected more. | 43,998 |
1 | Find peace in this book... | I am so glad I bought this book. The DVD's and book are so clarifying and powerful. If you wonder about how your life could be better. If you find yourself worrying about past or future events. This book is for you. It's transformative. It's a spa for the mind. | 8,217 |
0 | Does not work! | I ordered two of these in different colors. One of them works great but the other does not work so I cannot give it any more than one star. I will have to go through the hassle of returning it now. I made sure the batteries were in correctly and that the assembly was correctly installed. I also tried my own batteries and still no success. | 21,590 |
1 | romance read | This book's main man was a bit of a snob, but the other characters were just plain funny and you can't not want to read it just to see how it ends. Buy it, borrow it whatever you have to get it and read it you wont be sorry. | 14,100 |
1 | Best Price for a Hard-to-Find Item | It had become increasingly irritating trying to find Remington replacement blades and screens in department stores for the model of electric shaver I own. The stores carry only a few replacement accessories, and this was seldom one of them. The product itself is fine, but I appreciate the convenience of ordering direct from Amazon at a good price. | 11,194 |
1 | Hard to find classics | It was a pleasure to hear a few of these hits that are virtually impossible to find anywhere.I enjoyed it thoroughly,thank you. | 28,869 |
0 | Boring is an understatement. | I took this book to learn about Annotations since there aren't many on this topic. THe explainations were just PAINFUL. I mean the author just throws in sentences with no reference whatsoever to what the words mean. It's like he expects me to read his mind. Its like watching a movie where you have to sit through about 3/4th of the movie to finally get what the plot is. Ok so if you watch the whole movie you might be able to tell what happened in the movie. But the first 3/4th of your time is just a torture if you are a person wth average patience. And here we are talking about 1100 pages for heaven's sake. I guess I have to start looking elsewhere. | 11,759 |
0 | I should of missed this flight | The best part of this movie unfortunately were the credits. I did enjoy Jodie Foster's role, however the movie as a whole did not deliver. It's obvious who the "villians" are in the very beginning. The way that they act so strange instead of trying to blend in more with the other people gave things away too soon.I did enjoy the design of the plane. It was neat to see a full lounge/bar and huge plasma TV screens in front of each seat. The technology was displayed in an up-to-date atmosphere that allowed the starbucks/cellphone/IPOD generation to feel right at home. All in all I wish that the movie had a much harder plot to figure out. | 6,594 |
1 | Right product at right price | Bought this because my cell phone came without a USB cable for synching with my laptop. This item works perfectly at a much better price than that of the service provider. | 28,622 |
0 | Didn't get hot or even warm | I received this dehydrator on Thursday and set it up right away. It is now Sunday, and my peppers are still not dried. Since I have never had a dehydrator I didn't know what to expect. I cut everything up according to the instructions, set the dehydrator to 135 and still, limp peppers 2 1/2 days later. When I turned the dehydrator up to 145, it did get hot. So, it seems that this unit will only be good at temps over 135 which is not useful to me as I would like to dehydrate herbs too. It is going back. | 46,080 |
1 | Pretty Strong Set of Films | Devil's Nightmare-gotta own itPeices-the weakest on this 4 pak, but still watchableKill Baby Kill-This is an excellent film, but I love these type of movies where a traveler takes a horse driven coach to a remote village and is warned don't go there, but he goes and finds a beautiful woman who had just returned to the town after years of studying abroad and a scared populace. Can't go wrong with me. Then you have Kiss me Kill me, which is a good little raggedy movie, it was also released under another title that skips my mind and I almost bought it again. I have no problem buying several of the same DVDs on but Kiss Me Kill me ain't one of them. I would recommend this 4 pak, hopeuflly Brentwood will bring some othoer classic films out of the closet and release on DVD such as Let's Scare Jessica to death and the Initiation of Sarah. | 21,333 |
1 | I NEVER HEARD YOU KNOCKIN' | HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR FANS OF MALCOLM-11 SONGS DONE WITH SIMPLE ACOUSTIC ACCOMPANIMENT - GREAT LYRICS EXPRESSED IN A VERY CONVINCING GRUFF MANNER-THE SONGS SEEM VERY PERSONAL AND MEANINGFUL TO THIS COMPOSER-I RECOMMEND ALL THE TITLES BY THIS ARTIST-IF YOU LIKE ONE OF HIS CD'S YOU'LL ENJOY THEM ALL!! | 46,948 |
1 | One of the best!! | I love this Sandra Boynton book! I bought it for my daughter when she was a little over 1 and it was one of the only books that I could read to her. She loves all the animal noises and has gotten really good at matching the sound to the animal. Should would listen to it over and over. It was great for the airplane! When she finally figured out how to say the animals noises, she gets so excited everytime! A priceless book that all babies should have! | 11,658 |
0 | vastly overrated.... | I don't understand the good reviews for this phone... The menus are a pain in the neck and look like they were designed by a second-grader, I tried unsuccesfully to add phone #s to the speed dial,an easy thing on most phones, after reading through the poorly written manual and trying everything, I just gave up ! Even the 1 megapixel camera sucks, I took better pics 5 years ago with a Nokia.I went back to the store and exchanged it for the Samsung T629, within minutes I was putting #'s in speed dial and going through the easy to use menus, all on a high resolution screen. It felt like driving a Ferrari after having been on a go-kart.What a difference ! I will never buy a Motorola product again. | 22,770 |
1 | Outstanding Soundtrack | I love movies that you can take both seriously and laugh at and this is one of those movies. This movie brings a new twist to the vampire genre while not forsaking it all together. Lost Boys also has some twists in it to keep you wondering while laughing at some of the charaters trying to fend off the vampire gang. This movie also has one of the best soundtracks I have ever heard. Every song gives you the feel of where the movie is taking you. I highly reccomend this movie to everyone. | 38,536 |
1 | A Great Emotionally-Charged Hardcore Album | Even though the lead singer of Atreyu hates being labeled as a screamo band, Atreyu are definetly one of the best screamo bands ever. There is a lot of pain and despair in every song, such as Living each day like your dead, Deanne the Arsonist, and Tulips are Better. If you just got out of a bad relationship pick this cd up, even if you didn't break up with a loved one, still pick this cd up. It friggin' rocks.Was this review helpful to you? | 26,922 |
1 | WONDERFUL!!! | First, I have to say that I have not read the book. I had just started reading it when I learned that they were making it into a movie. I learned a long time ago to always see the movie first because, in my experience, the book is always better than the movie.With that said, I truly thought this was a wonderful movie. There is so much [...] out there, that anything that can be considered a "family" movie should be heralded!!However, after watching the movie, it makes me want to go back and read the book. I am aware that there is a lot that the movie doesn't cover.So to me, this is a total win-win situation: the movie was wonderful and enjoyable; and it makes me want to read the book to see what the movie left out.I hope people realize that the bad reviews for this movie are primarily coming from people who had already read the book and were disappointed. Don't let the bad reviews deter you from seeing a great movie! | 8,379 |
1 | A Challenge | Those who are looking for Challenge in mmorpg's should try this game. I had two friends who were playing this game for almost a year apiece when they convinced me to start playing. This game was very difficult to get the hang of and really get into. BUT IT IS WORTH IT ONCE YOU DO GET INTO IT. Vanadiel is a massive world full of things to do and it usually takes many hours just to do one thing (quests, missions). Partying and Gaining Experience Levels is the funnest part of this game. You are basically forced to join parties around level 10 in order to gain exp. levels. This makes the game difficult, (there aren't always parties available)) but it also makes the game a lot of fun. The team work you must do in this game is extensive and the friends you make are real people! Give it a chance and you will grow to love this game. | 20,988 |
1 | I prefer NHL 2002, but this has more action and graphics | NHL 2002 was my first game for Playstation 2, and I loved it. The new one has, of course, this year's rosters, but until I found the menu to speed it up, I was frustrated. IT CAN BE SPEEDED UP TO LAST YEAR'S SPEED- but again, it's a menu item. The graphics are greatly improved, and yes, the announcer guy is still annoying, but the music has gotten annoying. I liked last year's more, and at the same time the music this year is kind of featured in a way so as to appear as a music video. Wierd, and lesser quality music. My nephew has never seen a hockey game, but all he wanted to do once he saw it was play, play, play- so if you want a good game, this could be the one, but go into your menu screen early! | 43,028 |
0 | Insipid drivel | Is this a thriller or a travelog? It reads like your brother-in-law droning on about his vacation to wherever. The characters are predictable and trite. The plot is about as challenging as driving the interstate. My first Pronzini, and my last. | 24,718 |
0 | Pet Stairs | First in order to even get my little dog interested I had to attach the carpet pieces that were enclosed. Upon doing so the item could not be returned. My dog will not go near it. The steps are way way too shallow for any 23 pound dog to use. I had called to verify that a 23 pound dog would be able to use it and was told absolutely. So now I have a $25 item in my basement without being able to use it. Was not happy with this item. | 3,742 |
0 | Good for basic game | Pro: good price, satisfy basic gamerCon: no joystickI have this gamepad for a while. It is ok for most of the basic (old) game, but then I now feel like to have a joystick, especially when playing for a few hours. | 30,115 |
1 | Interesting story! | Interesting story! As expected, it is beautifully filmed, the dialogue is convincing and the actresses are wonderfull - like other Sarah Waters stories. The actresses do a wonderful job in displaying love for one another, despite the lack of love scenes between them. I Really enjoyed the twist in this one, very unexpected! I give it a 4 however, because the end was a bit disappointing. I agree with the previous reviewer in that if you like happy endings movies, this one will likely dissapoint. Overall though, I though it was a very good movie and worth a look. | 24,852 |
0 | I don't get it... | When an author doesn't understand the difference between "should've" and "should of", "could've" and "could of", and "would've" and "would of"... Well, that's just retarded. I first thought he was doing it with only the character of Johnny Truant, which would've been bad enough, but then it showed up in the writings of the old man, which was unacceptable to me. This book had some great ideas and I was mildly enjoying it, but then it started to insult my intelligence, and I had to cast it aside... Be gone with you!!! | 23,883 |
1 | Perfect accesory | I got the 3d cell maglite with LED as a gift and the anti-roll attachment perfects the military look. I tried all the lenses, and the blue one has the highest energy and cuts through fog really well. I mounted the flashlight brackets on the rear roof column in my truck, but the plastic trim will not stand up to the abuse so I still need to drill into the frame. When mounting, make sure you have a solid base. I knew what i was getting and was a great buy; no complaints so far. | 23,431 |
1 | One of the most truely interesting books I've read in years! | For students of the social sciences and teachers alike, it is rare to find a book so wide in breadth and so monumentally couragous in unearthing why our social world is how it is. With a mear few hundred pages, Diamond paints a complex picture of the past 15,000 years in a qualitative manner which draws strongly from holistic vantage point that ushers the reader into a new and exiting paradigm. Diamond is careful not to make sweeping, unqualified assumptions, while at the same time he is successful in bringing together a wide aray of information to prove his point. Both the general interest reader and the experts will enjoy this important book. In an age when the nature nurture debate continues to rage, this author has the ability to move beyond the quibbling to a new understanding of the human animal, and the world we inhabit. | 19,889 |
1 | Wonderful Item | Bought as a present for a family member. Shipped in a nice timely manner. Didn't know when I got it that it had a AM/FM radio feature but that was an added bonus! | 42,810 |
1 | one of the best if not the best war movie ever made | this is the best movie about war and has the most realistic battle scenes i have ever seen. i've seen combat up close and this is like it is. don't miss a chance to see this film it will haunt you long after it ends. | 38,414 |
1 | A good read for the armchair traveller | Well written and enjoyable book for the armchair traveller. Good descriptions of Yukon topography and wildlife as well as a good narrative of the author's long distance hiking trip. | 28,686 |
1 | Can be tough to get by with at times | This book is a good start for linear algebra; it touches upon the basics at first to make sure you have the required skills before moving onwards. However I personally found that there were too many proofs, even for algebra which can be very proof heavy. Also the book could use more examples, especially when touching upon tougher concepts such as sub/vector spaces. | 23,969 |
1 | Pedal car book | I saw this on the computer and just had to have it for my husband's Christmas. We both love it for all the information. He is a big collectors of pedal cars. Just love them!! | 27,038 |
0 | Song List | I"m wondering what's the song list for this dvd ? it needs to be posted,without this important information i won't buy this item.... | 30,817 |
1 | Easy setup, good range, works with all my Macs | I purchased this unit a few months ago and have had a very good experience with it so far. The setup is easy and the signal strength is good from one end of my house to the other, and into the front yard. (It's a small house, but still...)I use this router with both PCs and with Macs, as well as a laser printer with Ethernet. Everything works perfectly. | 31,927 |
1 | A "real" midwestern drama, what Iowa living is... | Jane Smiley knows her stuff. She has put together a painful reality of what family farm life is truly all about. It could be Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota or anywhere in the Midwest...regardless, the same ideals, aspirations and pathetic disfunction exists. She weaves a heartfilled tale. Any reader with significant family ties will feel the pain and joy Jane Smiley portrays in this fabulous read. Give us more Jane! | 37,070 |
0 | HIP HOP? OH MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | I HATE RAP AND HIP HOP. HATE THIS ALBUM. HERB AND HORRIBLE, OH I MEAN HIP HOP IS NOT GOOD! THE FIRST TRACK IS COOL THOUGH...... | 41,461 |
0 | Ok, but aint the best | Ludacris's New Cd " Word of Mouf is aiite, but it's sumthin i would not buy in the store. Coming to America is funny and demontsrates Ludacris's ability to throw comical lyrics( like the line wit Zamunda!). Also, Greatest Hits had me rollin as unhip folks try to reiterate his songs. Growing Pains is a bangin track, but only real hip hop heads would know the beat was jacked from Dilated Peoples "Worst Come To Worst". He just made the beat real slow. Roll Out is hot, but then the rest of the album suffers from poor beats and horrific guest appearances. JD ruins Coming to Atlanta, while the one wit those Memphis Three 6 Mafia just is not good. He needs to get better beats to complement his flows and discuss other topics besides the standard cars, ice, etc. 1 | 28,305 |
0 | It beeps. | Cuisinart is reviewed well but the beeping after the brewing cycle is something I can't stand. If I want to have a cup before the kids get up, forget it. The beeping wakes them up. Or, I am leaving at 6:am and I want to have coffee quietly before everybody is up - nope. Don't buy it if you don't like beeping. | 32,416 |
1 | Hardware mode programming still buggy | I got this to simplify the filling out of forms on a computer that can't install any thing on. I have and only plan to use it in hardware mode. So far I have 1 button set up to fill out most of 1 form that I need to do every day. Still talking to the makers about the mouse movements that are not working but overall I am happy with the 1 button. With 1 button I am able to select the form and have it put in the 11 N's in all the correct places, put in my truck number and move the curser to the empty field where I need to add more info. If i ever need to change trucks all I have to do is edit my truck number on my computer and save it on xkey. It's a little expensive for what I am using it for but its beats dealing with the built in mini keyboard on the computer and 4" x 6" touch screen. | 14,810 |
1 | Cat asks for this every morning | My vet recommended this product two years ago for our aging cat, Bianca, who was vomiting a lot after eating - not hair balls, but vomit. This has worked wonders and really eliminated the vomiting problem. Bianca, who is 12 now, still has occasional hairballs, but nothing like before. Bianca is somewhat picky, but loves this stuff and begs for it every morning. If I don't have time to give her a bit, she gives me a very disapproving look. It has a sweet, meaty smell and is very gooey, but she will lick the bowl clean. We've only tried the original flavor. I started getting this off of Amazon, since it was cheaper and more convenient than paying $10 for it at the vet. | 17,601 |
0 | Uneven | There is interesting stuff in this book. Unfortunately, there's also a lot of boring information including pages and pages of transcripts. The writer should have done a better job of integrating the transcripts with the manuscript. Still, if you're willing to wade through tedious, uninteresting information, there are some interesting cases and detective techniques strewn in here too. | 12,473 |
0 | Deceptive Advertising | Buying this was an education. HD-DVDs will not play on a standard DVD player nor on a Blu=Ray player. But there was nothing in the advertising for this item to indicate that. I returned the product. | 25,789 |
0 | Extremely Weak on Content | This work on foraging theory is extremely weak on all aspects of foraging theory or ecology. I would recommend to interested individuals almost all other textbooks on foraging, most which are much more informative. | 21,956 |
0 | weak | This probably deserves 3 stars but I had to give it 2 because I expected more. I could only get through about 30 minutes or so before I turned it off. If you have an abundance of time to kill or are extremely high then check it out. The main point of the movie was established in the first 15 minutes, after that it was just boring. This would have been a very thought provoking short film. | 4,325 |
1 | COMPLETE BOOK OF COMBAT HANDGUNNING | I FIRST READ THIS FINE REFERENCE BOOK SEVERAL YEARS AGO. FURTHERREADING,STUDY AND TRAINING HAVE REINFORCED THE FUNDIMENTAL TRUTHSAND REAL WORLD UTILITY OF THE TECHNIQUES WELL DETAILED IN A EASILY READ,UNDERSTOOD AND MEMORIBLE STYLE. YOU CAN BET YOUR LIFE ON THE TECHNIQUES AS TAYLOR AND HIS STUDENTS DO EVERY DAY.IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN LEARNING ABOUT HANDGUNS IN REAL LIFEUSE, THIS IS THE BEST REFERENCE TO BEGIN WITH AND TO END WITH. | 16,650 |
1 | easy to use | This is even better than I expected. Very easy to use. I was nervous about the type of thread I had from reading previous reviews and how people said it didn't like cheap thread. Well my thread is not top of the line, nor from the dollar store, its at least 3 years old and I have had no problems. I've sewn flannel, cotton, and knit all without issue. I did read the book and used the different needles and feet that were recommended. The machine tells you what foot to use, and they all come with it. I love this machine so far! | 48,920 |
1 | Read the directions! | If you pump fast at first it helps with let down and you will get more milk faster and easier. Never tried the battery pack so I can't comment on how good that part works. Overall it's a great pump. | 20,896 |
0 | Fails to live up to cartoon connection | When I first heard that the man who had provided the model for the Jon Lovitz character on the criminally neglected cartoon series 'The Critic' had an autobiography out I was understandably excited. Sad to say, this latest entry in the memoir sweepstakes is a grave disappointment. A homely collection of borrowed postmod effects, graceless prose and anecdotes so boring that one begins to suspect the author of a passive-aggressive hostility. Alas, no matter how funny he may look, Luc Sante's no Jon Lovitz. | 32,763 |
1 | Chester Brown triumphs again... | As with his earlier work "Yummy Fur" and his take on the Gospels, Chester Brown doesn't shy away from exploring the darker aspects of human behavior in Louis Riel. With this work Chester hews closely to historical record, following the ultimately tragic life of Riel from his early days at the Red River settlement, his fight for independence and finally, his death at the hands of an imperial Canadian government.Chester also shows a deft hand as an artist, using a black and white minimalism throughout. | 3,603 |
0 | Don't judge this book by the cover - the inside is awful | I made a stupid, stupid mistake - I picked this book up because the cover was SO attractive: the front is just beautiful and the back has glowing (and completely untrue!) reviews by two of my favorite authors. Shame on them and shame on me! This book is too wordy, too convoluted, completely unbelievable, and hasn't a likeable character in it - not a single one.You'll die of boredom waiting to get to an interesting page. Don't wait - there aren't any. | 18,974 |
0 | Order from Apple.com, not here with J&R. | I ordered this from Amazon, which sends the order to J&R. They sent me the kit for iPod and iPod mini. It is not adaptable to the shuffle. I called them and they put the order in again. They sent me the wrong one again. They made me pay the shipping to return both of them even though they sent me a different one than I ordered twice. They were not pleasant to work with either. I ordered the kit for shuffle from the apple store (apple.com) and got the right one. | 45,818 |
1 | Well worth your time | I won't bore readers with long synopsis, and will only say that if you're at all interested in vertebrates of the Western Interior Seaway, that this book is a must-read. I can't quite recommend it to beginners (the author's "Sea Monsters" is a better pick for neophytes), as there is significant discussion of skeletal details and of the long, often tortuous process that went into describing type specimens; that said, the text is well-leavened by beautiful illustrations, photos and drawings, personal anecdotes, and discussion of the latest theories of how these creatures lived, all of which is accessible.Highly recommended. | 4,092 |
0 | Disappointed in the my first purse | I ordered this purse for my daughters second birthday, I was very disappointed in the quality. The cell phone is VERY cheap plastic, and the buttons don't even push in. The "wallet" that comes with it is just a little fake plastic wallet that doesn't open. The keys are flimsy. The one this she does really like is the lipstick and the mirror. Just not what I was expecting! | 47,145 |
0 | Boring and trite | This book put me to sleep. It's dull, but it also feels fake, dependent on cliches and received ideas. The titles give a sense of what the poems are like: Plato, Bonnard, Rome, Montale, Wittgenstein, Miro, Bronzino, Bishop, Benjamin, Keats, flowers, plants, birds. There's nothing fresh here. It's exactly the kind of book that gives poetry a bad name. It makes you cringe.I don't understand why this kind of precious, privileged writing appears year after year, when there's so much that hasn't been written before. I also don't understand why poets like this one, who aren't devoid of intelligence or talent, don't write better poems. They may be polished, but polish isn't enough. | 39,824 |
0 | Wheresooth, Mantooth? | The big, in-most-cases two page layout of these tunes makes for easy reading. It's a great selection of tunes, which is why I bought it in the first place. However, I was really hoping for some creative chord change alternatives. I mean, when I read "... with professionally altered chords" my impression was there was some in-depth thinking about substituting the chords from the original. Unfortunately no or at least, not so much. | 42,005 |
0 | I like Nicolas Cage....usually | I know many don't like old Nick, but I typically find his movies enjoyable and entertaining. This one just didn't do it for me, though. If I hadn't paid for it, I probably wouldn't have finished watching it...but I felt like I had to get my moneys worth. You could certainly find worse movies out there...but don't expect much. | 37,725 |
0 | Fiercely Painful | The acting of the talented John Cleese and Michael Palin cannot save this movie, which lacks even a single funny moment. The movie's premise -- pretend that tame zoo animals are fierce to attract visitors and increase profitability -- is bad enough, but the dialogue is about the worst I've ever heard. Jamie Lee Curtis can be excellent, but she is terrible here because of the abysmal script. The same sexual jokes are repeated over and over, and when Kevin Kline passes gas over and over, the viewer is reminded not of Blazing Saddles but of a moviemaker attempting to force a laugh when there is nothing to laugh about. Save your money. | 41,463 |
1 | Must read for late 70's/early 80's Sixers Fans | I loved this book growing up. Pat Williams, who later went on to become the GM of the Orlando Magic, details the ascent of the sixers from the "9-73ers" of the early 70's to the 1983 World Champions.Anyone who appreciates the golden era of the NBA, with all its outrageousnous (see Darryl Dawkins), will enjoy this quick read. | 23,076 |
