0 | ONLY A HARD CORE GAMER WILL SPEND [A LOT] FOR THIS | LOOK.....DID MICRO NOT LEARN ANYTHING FROM FROM THE FAILURE OF THOSE RIDICULOUS [EXPENSIVE] XBOX BUNDLES TRYING TO MAKE YOU BUY ABOUT FIVE GAMES WITH THE SYSTEM? COME ON.....I LIKE THE XBOX BUT I AM NOT GOING TO SPEND [A LOT] ON A CONTROLLER THAT LOOKS LIKE IT CAN A WHEEL BLOCK FOR A BULL DOZER. ITS ALSO A LOT BIGGER THAN THE XBOX TOO TAKING UP SO MUCH SPACE THAT I ALMOST HAVE TO GET A TABLE TO MAKE IT GET USED CORRECTLY. "IF THE XBOX IS SO POWERFUL WHY DON'T THEY MAKE A CONTROLLER THAT IS LESS EXPENSIVE LIKE SAY THE FORCE FEED BACK CONTROLLERS?????" I LIKE MECH GAMES BUT MICRO HAS TURNED ME OFF FROM THIS ONE. I'LL SAVE MY MONEY FOR "MECH ASSAULT". | 36,857 |
0 | PC BS | Go elsewhere for a balanced scholarly account, this book is just an attempt to cash in on a false politically-correct warping of history. Not much good for anything. | 7,104 |
1 | Great Guitar Find | I was checking out cds on Amazon last week when they recommended "Easy" to me. I wasn't at all familiar Dwight Swills, so I checked out the samples. They all sounded great - soft and smooth with a good beat. The other songs turned out to be as good as the samples I had heard. My favorite off this cd is "Nightfall". Others that I enjoy include "Desert Skies", "Dreamin", "This Time Around" and the title song "Easy". This is the type of cd that you can enjoy listening to while sipping on a cup of coffee and relaxing in your recliner. | 820 |
0 | Best one for the PE, but tough to use | I believe this is the only approved programmable calculator on the NCEES approved calculator list. If you want a programmable calc for that exam, this is your baby. If you want a good easy to use programmable calculator for your day to day use, I would go up a couple of notches and buy the 50g (I have both). | 36,626 |
1 | Tyler Hilton is awesome! | Tyler Hilton's CD The Tracks of... is the best CD that I bought in 2004. He is a creative genius: singing and writing some amazing songs. He is also an extremely talented guitar player. He has a beautiful soulful voice that makes all of his songs sound so different (in a great way) than that generic music they constantly play on the radio. I can't say enough good things about him. If you are considering buying his CD I highly recomend it!Megan Hyde | 23,207 |
0 | Forget it! | If you want to use this unit, go to college and get a technical degree first or you will go insane trying to make it work. Nothing is easy these days, nothing! To use this kind of unit, you better make sure you have everything Panasonic first, then you better go to their training schools to learn the ever expanding technical complications of these units and all units in this or any area. It's insane, nothing works easily or simply. All I wanted to do was record my VHS collection to DVD...good luck. I can't even get it to play a dvd! Tech suppost is obnoxious. But hey, this is only Panasonic, try SOny..or Dell, the are hidious and horrible. TOO many companies, too complicated, too much BS. Life shouldn't be this crazed! | 19,196 |
1 | another good review for the battery tender | I was using a black & decker "smart charger" before this and it sucked. would always give me errors no matter the battery I triedgot the battery tender and it works fine. used it a few times on various batteries and has always worked.side note for optima people: your really only supposed to charge at 1AMP. but the battery tender is only 1/4 amp over that. alot of people are using typical 2AMP chargers and getting away with it. just saying per optimas website its supposed to be 1AMP max.happy charging | 1,288 |
1 | Shout! Shout! | A must have to complete your Replays collection. Does not disappoint! You WILL sing along- and replay over and over. | 47,852 |
1 | Impressive!! | I first heard of Laura Pausini through her Italian songs...was impressed when I saw her performing with Lara Fabian (another of my favourites) recently in Italy!I really like this album, because Laura brings such a fresh new sound with her voice. No vocal aerobics here, just a really good sexy raw sound that I have not heard lately with other artists! She proves that not only can she do upbeat songs like her great single Surrender, but also some really beautiful ballad songs which she is known for in her Italian and Spanish songs! Just love Everyday is a Monday!I highly recommend this album and think she has a very promising future ahead of her in the English market!! Hope that a tour results from this album! | 45,876 |
1 | Gorgeous Album | Ray LaMontagne sings with emotion and passion. Gorgeous all the way through. I listen to it over and over again. | 29,912 |
0 | Cobra HH90 | I was dissapointed with this product! The batteries does not last enough for a day at Sea.! and does not have enough power to reach distancesJose Quintero | 46,115 |
1 | Entertaining, Compelling, Poignant &...oh yeah, Funny! | Just snapped this book up recently at a specialty bookstore & highly recommend it for anyone who is a Marx Brothers fan. Or an Algonquin Round table fan. Or an "Old Hollywood" fan. Anecdotes abound. But woven into the story is that of a diehard Groucho Marx buff who inhabits the tight, peculiar, often sad world of his last few years. Stoliar comes off as a decent guy with his heart in the right place, a relief since Groucho was surrounded by more than a couple of people with selfish ulterior motives towards him in the end. Erin Fleming, Groucho's companion in his last years, is intriguingly revealed as a complex, disturbing madwoman. Painfully sad read, but with the saving graces of humor & insight. Much of this was actually covered in Arthur Marx's book, but check out the different slant! I'm glad I read & own this book. I'll be back at it again. | 28,792 |
1 | great product for the price | The screen itself was a bit difficult to put together even when using the directions. Once the screen was together it mounted on the wall easy and looks great. The picture from my HD projector looks great as well. Great product for the price. | 6,239 |
0 | "I want his intestines on a stick!" | This is the biggest belly-flop we've seen in a long time. As metaphor for losing faith, it's not real clear, full of coded references to "believing" and "ancient methods". As science fiction, it's full of logical holes--not good in a world where viewers are increasingly sophisticated regarding what alien "greys" should look like and how their biology works. What is all this medical nonsense about his son's lungs "being closed" making him immune to "poison dust", and his wife still alive and talking calmly despite being "cut in two" by a moving truck? "Night" also seems to have gotten several particulars wrong regarding US life and Western religious culture, while promoting the thoroughly discredited "crop circle" phenomenon as "something that makes ya think". Fortunately, perhaps as substitutionary revenge, we will get to see Gibson make a similar socio-religious nosedive later this year with "The Passion". | 30,904 |
1 | Perseverance | Length:: 0:57 MinsThis is a great book for young children especially for girls. It teaches them the importance of practicing. D.W. chose to practice all the time and because of that she became very good at doing a forward roll. Practicing takes perseverance especially at the beginning. | 45,943 |
1 | 2nd favorite | While cranberry is 1st place for my taste buds, the Fruit and Nut is next in line! Love Bakery and Main products! Love there's not tons of sugar and that my not-so-much gluten free husband enjoys them too! Then you know you have something good going on! | 32,388 |
1 | motors makes the best manuals | Being in the old car repair business these manuals have the best factory tech info and photos including car grill id photos. | 24,743 |
0 | Nothing | There is nothing to learn from this book. It has only pieces of trivial results without deriving.Specially, theoretically interested students should be careful of buying this book. | 39,808 |
0 | decent spray no power on massage!! | I bought this to replace an old 5 mode shower head that had decent but not great massage setting. I am overall disappointed with this product, even after removing the flow regulator it has a weak massage setting that is not much more than a strong spray. It looks good but if you are looking for a massage nozzle don't buy this product!! | 312 |
1 | Quite nice, but missed opportunities | I like it -- a lot -- but the company missed some very easy opportunities. E.g., either, or both, of the straight edges on the handles (when extended) should have had inch/cm markings. Obvious, and no apparent reason why markings weren't included. Also: tweezers would've been nice, and easy to include. And lots of other features. That said, great hand feel -- solid weight and heft -- and useful. But this could have been the ultimate pocket multi-tool. | 17,781 |
0 | Could have been good | Funny how Eric Seward who wrote the classic cyberman tale "Earthshock" returns to Who with this clunker.Tried to give this episode a chance in 1986, but I still remember two things that ruined this episode.Previously, the Cybermen were virtually indestructible, especially in the earlier stories they could stop a tank. In this episode a Cyberman is dispatched with a 9mm pistol shot to the head. Granted, you could say "lucky shot," but alas there is nothing in the head unit of Cyberman; their brain is in their chest unit.Fat Cybercontroller, nuff said there.Stories like this doomed Colin Baker's Dr. Who and almost ended the series for good. | 47,316 |
1 | Common sense book | This book has a lot of common sense ideas, most easy to follow, when hiring a contractor. In some cases I could see that following all the advice might cause some contractors to run away and play with somebody who is not a pain in the ***, but the advice is to protect the homeowner and is written in such a way as to be easy to understand. The book lacks a summary of the ideas, which I condensed into 2 pages for our project | 34,934 |
1 | Life changing book | If you are interested in women's lives at the turn of the 20th century, and/or are following Christ, you will love this book. I read it through in one sitting, and it has reverberated in my life ever since. A touching biography of a woman who gives her all for the Lord. | 32,545 |
0 | Disappointed | I purchased this book at the request of my mom. She wanted to read it to and was disappointed with the book (looked physically cheap) and its contents. The contents did not provide her any additional information that was not already being publicized in the newspapers and other news articles. | 26,503 |
1 | Sand/Water Toys | I was so happy to find these sand/water toys. I could not find them anywhere locally in December for a x-mas gift to go along with a sandbox for my grandson. They are great in size, nice assortment, durable. No problems what so ever, he loves them. | 8,769 |
0 | Best comedy album of the year! | If you are ever in a clutch and need to entertain a large crowd of people, just run over to K-Mart, search thru the dollar bin and grab a copy of This is Me...Then by J. Lo, oh I'm sorry, Jennifer Lop.... sorry again, I mean Jenny from the Block!This album will keep you and your friends laughing for hours at end and by the time you reach "Dear Ben" get some napkins because somebody will most likely pee themselves!Whoever told Mrs. Affleck she could pull off a song all by herself, without collaborating with Lil' (Insert ANY Name) helping her out should be forced to listen to this album!Somebody who can't keep a marriage together for more than five minutes should stop putting out mediocre albums filled with love songs devoted to her current fiance.This album proves Jen can NOT sing, but it is sure fun listening to her try! | 25,730 |
1 | Yogurt making made easy | I have now settled into making yogurt three times a week... After some trial and error -- I use two quart-size - wide mouth - canning jars - that I alternate with. I don't even measure anymore - just eye-ball the amounts. Since everything I purchase is ultra-pasturized I just zap the jar, in the microwave, for a minute - then check temp -- once the contents are at 110 degrees I add the culture. Cook time varies from 10 to 12 hours - again not to concerned with time. There is no such thing as a bad batch of yogurt. . . Oh... and do yourself a favor and go ahead and spring for the Donvier Yogurt Cheese Maker, you'll be happy you did after one use. | 5,358 |
1 | Best movie out the the three | Im a huge fan of Transformers since I can recall, I even have to tattoos. And the movie in 3D is awesome, I just bought a LG 47LW6500 and a 3D BD player...what else can I say | 17,476 |
0 | Garbage! | Streaks streaks streaks streaks streaks streaks streaks! i was worried that the first product i bought to clean my lcd would just streak it up and thats what happened! soo dont even take a chance at ordering this garbage. | 19,317 |
0 | Buyer Beware | This book is the quality of a black and white photocopy. The main reason I wanted a hardback copy of this book was to have nice prints of the Maxfield Parish illustrations. They appear HERE as tiny, low res, too dark, black and white. The print on demand nature of this book coupled with the high price leaves me feeling hoodwinked. Beware the comments from other readers --- they mention the wonderful full color illustrations from the out of print versions --- THIS BIBLIOBAZAAR, LLC VERSION DOES NOT HAVE COLOR ILLUSTRATIONS. Save your money --- keep looking. | 34,490 |
0 | Very disappointed with state of product | Extremely disappointed with how the product arrived. The sharpener seems to work fine, but it arrived with scratches and scrapes all along the sides and top. I certainly wouldn't recommend this seller. | 17,259 |
1 | The best hair towel ever! | I have this towel in both white and pink. I got started on Aquis years ago and don't trust my hair to any other towel. It is the most absorbent towel I've ever used and it is soft and gentle on children's baby fine hair. These towels come out perfect from the wash and the pink doesn't fade. Perfect towel. A little piece of everyday luxury. | 1,901 |
0 | One Star For Effort | I have to say that Angela Ardis really got one over on me with this one. I was under the impression that this book was going to dive deep into the mentality of Tupac. I was looking to find out more about him, his inner most thoughts and feelings but all I really found out was how a thug puts his mack down and into action. | 18,588 |
0 | NO STARS! | I absolutely hated this book. I had to force myself to finish. The plot was beyond stupid, and patently unbelieveable. And the hero was basically slime.If you want to read a good Suzanne Forster book, read Every Breath See Takes. A much better romantic suspense. | 38,022 |
0 | False advertising of 50th Anniversary edition of "Breakfast at Tiffany" | I recently purchased the 50th Anniversary Blu-ray edition of this classic movie only to be sorely disappointed. The DVD enclosed was properly labeled but contained the terrible version of the movie. First it was in small screen version from the VHS with terrible lighting alternating between dark and light. This is unwatchable and sore disappointment for what is the version for collection and supposedly restored in high definition. | 48,092 |
1 | 3Extreme a fast paced game of action | 3extreme features a BMX, Skateboarder, and Rollerblader. They all have special moves and they moves arent to hard to pull off. The graphics arent great but i always play the game.It gets really exciting because you race in a course and the course has many ramps and rails to use. Cheats can give you aliens that go really fast and this is probably one of the better games i have played in over 5 years. | 11,860 |
1 | Computer Espionage | Provides good background but must be considered with other cyber-literature to obtain a broad cyber-crime perspective.Not for the computer hardware/software technically challenged. | 46,174 |

1 | Great gift for a hunter | I bought this knife for my brother who's really into deer hunting. He loves the knife It's sharp and easy to use...is what he said. He said he liked that it was camo. | 11,897 |
1 | Refreshing and Soul Soothing | I absolutely love this c.d. It truly is like a breath of fresh air. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants a break from tradition. It's great to listen to just about anywhere and doing just about anything. It's one of my favourites that I always keep on my c.d. player! | 44,393 |
0 | It's ok | This book does have summaries of her cases and some examples. I just feel that the book jumps around and the book doesn't flow very well. I found quite a few grammar errors. It seems almost like you're reading a journal or having a conversation with her. So it's ok in that aspect. I guess I was expecting more details of the other side. For instance, how the spirits get there? What do they do all day? Does Mrs. Dubois believe in reincarnation like other mediums? Etc. | 3,535 |
1 | AWESOME | AS A BLACK MAN I WATCHED MARIANNA HILL THIS WAS A INTERESTING MOVIE SHE IS VERY SEXY IN THIS MOVIE SHE WAS VERY CONFUSED ON WHO TO TRUST THAT MADE HER VERY ATTRACTIVE AS WELL I WISH I WISH THEY WOULD COME WITH THIS ON DVD . THE ACTING WAS A LITTLE WEAK BUT STILL A GOOD FLICK | 39,406 |
0 | Stained | I unfortunately thought that these would be ok so I threw the boxes away, I have used the steak knives twice and the arealready stained!! Horrible and embarassing | 20,446 |
0 | The funniest thing about this movie is the bad reviews | I have repeatedly laughed out loud and now have a side ache from just reading the bad reviews posted here. Talk about great writing! Dana should have spent more time reading reviews here and learned real comedy from the pros! You all deserve a pat on the back. Your responses have more than made up for the money I wasted on this movie. I Thank you. | 16,601 |
1 | A Feel Good Read from Start to Finish | Cowboy is one of those few books that made me feel just plain good to read.Wading out of the mire of heartache, Beth McCasland, a single mom and a waitress at a diner, has little time for music and superstars. But she does have time to help the bedraggled and broken man who walked into the diner late one night. Little does she know that this man is the superstar country singer, Ashton Raines. He introduces himself to her as Timothy.Ashton Raines doesn't know how to pull himself from the hole left in his heart when his wife died. He learns an important truth from this beautiful waitress at this tiny diner: he can't do it. But he's about to find out who can.From the first page to the last page I enjoyed Stallings' writing. She didn't waste a single word and easily planted me in each character's view of the world. | 25,608 |
1 | Best Movie Ever | In God's Hands was an awesome movie. It got a little wierd in the beginning and middle but after my 3rd time seeing it I started to understand it. I really enjoyed it! It was GREAT! I saw it like 5 or 6 times and i'm getting it for my b-day. I will never get bored of it! A MUST SEE!!! | 29,154 |
1 | classic Stevie Ray! | classic stevie ray,his stunning guitar work leaves you mesmerized and wanting more. | 35,411 |
0 | Better off paying a little extra for a better product | I'm giving this a 1 start because it doesnt work, at all. It came with brand new batteries but the screen always has the low battery icon on. The on/off button doesnt work, and for that matter none of the buttons work. it doesnt respond to anything that I press. Perhaps I got a faulty one, but it was most frustrating to say the least. I thought I did my research from reading other people's reviews. I didn't care that it looked cheap so as long as it did what it said it could do. which it does not unfortunately for me | 46,994 |
0 | Did you know that you can recycle books? | I received this as a Christmas gift from my sister-in-law several years ago. In short...this book leaves me flabbergasted. The subtitle "A Biblical Perspective" is overstating things to say the least. Perhaps it's better subtitled - "From Martha's personal interpretation of the Bible." I held onto it for several years as I was unwilling to donate it and subject anyone else to Peace's point of view. My husband and I have had a good chuckle every now and then about the book. We both agreed that throwing it out seemed the best route...until I discovered that you can recycle books. I took of the covers, broke it in half, and put it in the bin. Perhaps the paper in its second life will be far more useful. Save your money...there are far better marriage books out there than this one! | 25,915 |
0 | Afraid of being blasphemous | Perhaps this movie means a lot to those deep in religion, but to a non-believer like me this is just a sort of poorly done religious propaganda with little artistic value. Zeffirelli admits himself that he felt so thankful to God after he survived a terrible car accident that he became a born-again believer. Therefore, he wanted to thank God and church for the miracle that happened to him by doing a movie on a religious subject. Another example of how a lack of critical approach turns out a poor, tasteless and boring cinematographic creature. Scenes that are supposed to be uplifting and inspiring appear just outright stupid and grossly overdone with tear jerking and sugarcoated vulgarity and banality. No surprise that it is not a very well known Zeffirelli film - he would not become famous doing some dull and dumb productions like this. The soundtrack is horrendous. I would not recommend to those who are looking for artistic value rather than a sermon. | 42,731 |
1 | A Reference Guide for the New Millennium. | As we enter the 21st Century, workplace dynamics have dramatically changed. The old paradigm has been replaced and now individuals must accept responsibility for managing their own careers. Melancon provides proven, real-world techniques for successful job search and career management in an easy to read reference format. This book is a "must read" for anyone who will be managing human resources and/or their own career into the new millennium. | 41,719 |
0 | Can you sleep under an airplane engine? | We bought this unit about 8 months ago, and we cannot sleep in the room with this humidifier, because of the incredibly loud noise it makes. We tried replacing the cartridge ($56 for a cartridge and new resin and UPS 2nd day mail, took them three days to ship because they couldn't compute why our billing and mailing addresses are different -- moral: buy it on Amazon). Tried cleaning it with the descaling stuff. Tried sitting it on two towels and wrapping it in another one. It still sounds like I'm sleeping in an aircraft hangar, except that this engine constantly shifts gears. I don't know if everyone else commenting here got the silent model or if we're just super sensitive, but anyway, if you're a light sleeper, keep looking. | 26,585 |
1 | Possibly the best performance | Faure's Requiem is one of my favorite pieces. I have several different versions of it on CD and have even performed it myself with choir and orchestra (I am a tenor).Based on the excellent reviews I went ahead and purchased this version and I am listening to it as I write this review.This is definitely the clearest and cleanest performance of this requiem I have heard yet. I enthusiastically recommend it.If you like Faure, also try Pelleas & Melisande. The Deutsche Grammophon version with Seiji Ozawa is very good. I had lost my tape and decided to purchase the CD recently. It comes with one of the best chorus versions of the Pavane (the one on this Requiem CD is very good but instrumental only). | 7,671 |
0 | Not worth buying at all | I recommend Survivor: Borneo on DVD instead of this cheesy 80's horror garbage. | 30,533 |
1 | Wiggly Safari | This is a great entertainer for little ones! Plus, it contains footage of the late Steve Irwin, who most kids loved and were fascinated by watching his adventures. | 26,486 |
0 | American Scandals ? | If you are really looking for salacious scandals this book is not it. For any student of history most of this book is just a rehash of already well-known tales. Kept hoping it would get better ----- | 11,416 |
1 | Basic summary of symptoms and causes of Candida and CRC. | Introductory text explaining the causes and symptoms of Candida Albicans, and Candida Related Complex (CRC).A must read for those experiencing the problems caused by the systemic Candida infection, and for those who want to avoidthe long and painful road to recovery. | 26,055 |
0 | Cloud Atlas | I can't figure out what in the heck is going on. I've never had this much trouble getting into a story, but I am going to keep going and hope for the best! | 25,722 |
0 | Short product life | Product worked reasonably well but failed after just a little over 1 year.Now doesn't record even with slow Sony DVD disks (hard or impossible to get now)Expensive for what it is compared to new offerings from other vendors. | 7,232 |
0 | 2 star edition of above 5 star record. | For those who haven't heard this record, this is one of the best metal records of all time and also one of the first progressive metal albums(released in 86, years before Dream Theater's 1st). If you like the genre, get it.The CD has been re-mastered and it sounds way better than the original release. The bonus cd has 3 demos and 6 live tracks. You can probably guess the quality of demos but the live tracks are beyond bad. It sounds like your downstair neighbor playing it and you're listening with your ears on the floor. Turning up the volume only makes it worse.The dvd is no better, home video footage with mostly still cam shots. At one point the image gets invisible and worst of all it happens during "Prelude to ruin", the best song on this album(IMO)So unless you are a die-hard fan of FW and collecting every single stuff of the band, get a regular re-mastered version(I believe there is). | 261 |
0 | Buyer beware | The included printed documentation says these devices "are warranted to be free of defects in material and workmanship for two (2) years from the date of purchase." I bought them on 7/1/2010. Both these devices quit working within hours of each other on 6/28/12. I contacted the Pyle Service center's Consumer Return Hotline number for a Return Authorization number as per the limited warranty policy. After being transferred three times, the person I finally talked to told me "The defective items couldn't be replaced because it had been too long since they were purchased." When I told him the documentation included with these devices stated the warranty was for two years, he told me "there was a misprint in the documentation. The warranty was only supposed to be for one year", and hung up. So.....regardless of what the printed Pyle warranty states, it's nothing but a pile of....buyer beware. | 23,974 |
0 | Failure is the norm | This is the best external drive we purchased out of a range of external drive products and it gets one star because it did last a little longer than the other products.We purchased the first drive as a replacement for a failed Maxtor and the La Cie lasted a few months longer and had to be replaced.Six drives later we have finally been forced to find a hardware specialist to design and produce a custom made box from Addonics which we have been using for some time now without failure.The last of our La Cie drives has finally failed after 8 months in use and we will be returning it together with a legal demand for a full acceptable explanation for the failure of all these various drives or a full refund from the retailer.I would be a fool to recommend this drive (or any of the other major brands) to any person who relies on their external drive for mission critical backups. | 43,697 |
1 | glen Hughes | This CD / DVD set is full of Glen's memorable songs, medusa, seafull.coast to coast,etc,It's soulful and loud. Just like I want it to be. Glen sings his heart out and jj marsh with chad smith (Chili Peppers)add a heavy and funky drum and soulful guitar.If you are a Glen fan you'll want to add this to your collection | 49,160 |
0 | bad product | I went from Tivo 1.0 to this.... I thought that 6 years of tech advancement would give me wonders. It feels like it was put together as a high school science project.It's horrible. | 35,458 |
0 | Missed the mark | I think that most movies for kids that are really good also can appeal to adults with their humor. I think this movie missed out on that on both targets. It just wasn't that funny. Bill Murray who I usually like just didn't get the job done but that might be just the material that he was working with. After Nemo and some other kid movies that I found hilarious I had high expectations for this one knowing Murray was doing Garfield. It fell short on every level. | 20,645 |
1 | A great introductory book | I found beginning PHP4 very helpful, easy to understand with good examples. I think it is the ideal book for someone to start learning PHP. Really worths a try. | 48,771 |
0 | Truly miserable | This is one of the worst books ever written about any major philosopher. It is only a slight exaggeration to say that if Wittgenstein writes, say, "For heaven's sake, don't think for a moment that I believe that X," Cook's "quotation" will abridge this to the form "I believe that X." (For substantiation of this claim, I too refer interested readers to the journal article by Philip Dwyer which the first person to review the book referred to.) - I accept Professor Powell's comment in his review that in philosophy, it is possible to be wrong in an important and illuminating way, but Cook is regrettably wrong in an entirely unilluminating way. That a book this shoddy, this disingenuous, managed to be published by a respected university press, is simply a scandal of scholarship. | 46,129 |
1 | Very funny | I read this book in about a half an hour. It includes many aspects of Ralph's life: a school field trip to the Springfield Airport (during which Ralph gets separated from the class and ends up on a plane to Paris), Ralph's top 40 list (includes Lisa Simpson twice and "putting stuff up my nose") and bottom 40 list (includes "the deep end of the sandbox" and "pointy kitties" [rats]). Ralph gives instructions for holiday crafts and gives advice a la Ann Landers. Also included is a progress report written by Ms. Hoover saying that improvement is needed in most areas as he has trouble adding and subtracting numbers above 16, that he "forgets how books work" and mentioned that he once tried to subtract on his hands by attempting to cut off his fingers. Poetry written by Ralph and his many moods are very funny.There is a story about Wiggle Puppy that Ralph created, which is okay, but overall, it's a great book. Throughout most of the book, I was laughing so hard I was crying. | 9,595 |
0 | Great voice--bad book | I'm still scratching my head over this one. The writing is lovely, and the autistic narrator's voice is fresh, believable, engaging. So why squander such a fully realized voice in a tired minimal plot populated by poorly drawn characters? The father, for instance, is key here, but all the author can think of for him to say is variations on, "Oh, [fill in expletive], Christopher." The mother and neighbors are also ciphers....and don't tell me this is because of the narrator's unreliable perceptions. Banal dialogue is banal dialogue whether or not it's being rendered by an unreliable narrator. Basically, this novel is a case of an author putting a huge amount of work into creating one fine character and his unique voice, and then deciding he didn't need to do any work on other parts of the book. And the voice is done so well, it's almost worth reading. Almost. | 2,882 |

1 | Bridges for Healing | This book has given me new insight into and appreciation of psychopharmacology and psychotherapy. Dr. Resnikoff's model promotes flexibility and balance in the use of medication and therapy: His model demonstrates how crucial it is for the therapist to observe and listen to client(s) initially, and as therapy proceeds. The examples that Resnikoff offers should help individuals and especially therapists in training learn the value and importance of integrating therapy and psychopharmacology. | 10,146 |
1 | Still writting strong | Readers of the series will not be disappointed and makes it hard to wait to read the next one | 5,187 |
1 | Pleasantly surprised | I picked this one up on a whim, aware of Thackery's history with the Nighthawks. If you like to hear real fretboard mastery, give this one a shot. While he has a sound truly his own, you'll definately hear some of his influences: Buddy Guy and SRV were obvious idols of his. This purely instrumental CD covers nearly all aspects of of the 12-bar march, too. Jazz, chicken picking, a bit of country, jump, swing--an ...-kicking extravaganza. Get it, you won't be disappointed. As a fellow guitar slinger, I've been humbled!! | 24,522 |
0 | Not a Good Smell | We're a fan of Issey Miyake fragrances,so I thought this would be a great gift to add to my husband's collection. This particular scent however is very strong and too FLOWERY.I thought we couldn't go wrong with Issey, but we did. It doesn't smell like a man's cologne but rather some concoction gone bad with a mixture of really potent flowers, weeds, and plants.One good thing I can say is that it comes in a really nice bottle. If you want this just for "show" well it looks nice on the dresser, but NOT A PLEASANT SMELL AT ALL. | 25,755 |
0 | Picture and Product don't match. | I hoped to get the style 3D Viewer pictured. Instead I received the older style. My e-mail inquiry to the seller went unanswered. Someone has their wires a bit crossed on this one. Don't try this product if you want the one shown in the picture. | 49,196 |
0 | could be useless... | I will agree that the unit reaches saturation too quickly - the only reading this thing gives is .12 - and that is well after 30 minutes past my last drink. And it would appear to be mathematically impossible to have that high a BAC based on # of drinks vs weight. I also have a unit from Sharper Image, which gave readings in the .015 to .02 range while this one said .12 (Yes, the decimals are in the right place.)I will experiment with it some more and/or look into contacting the manufacturer; perhaps there is a problem with the unit. But for now I have concluded that I don't really trust any device of this type. | 19,039 |
0 | Belt keeps coming off... DON'T BUY!!! | The belt keeps coming off... sometimes immediately after having put the belt back on and turning it on. HORRIBLE!I contacted Hoover Customer service and will bring the vacuum to the service center tomorrow... but based on the previous reviews about this problem... it won't be fixed. Save your money!!!!! Hoover literally sucks a$$$$$$$. | 44,160 |
1 | Artistically Amazing | I have been wating for this game for over two months...I now have it. I would HIGHLY recomend this game. Ill admit the graphics aren't the best, but yet which games have the best?You don't really have to do what your supposed to. You can steal from or kill anybody...but remeber there IS conciquences. There is a plot and a meaninng to this game but you dont have to follow it.There is not a right or wrong way to play morrowind.I hope you'll take this advice and go buy it for xbox or pc they both are the same. | 30,121 |
1 | Do yourself a favour | Do yourself a favour and go out and get your hands on this album now! You won't regret it. It's criminal how this band has to date flown under the radar. They deserve an audience. The Coldplay comparisons are enivitable but these comparisons are as flattering to Coldplay (and I'm a huge Coldplay fan) as they are to Thirteen Senses. This is an outstanding album from start to finish that demands repeated listenings. I've had it on in the car on heavy rotation for months now and there are five of their songs (including some from the equally outstanding first album, The Invitation) in the top ten most played songs on my ipod. My personal favourites from both albums include Thru the Glass, Into the Fire, Follow me, Contact and Ones & Zeros. Brilliant first two albums from a band I'm hoping to hear a lot more from. | 39,730 |
1 | As advertised. | Solid knife with a good feel. I got it as a freebie with the Chef's Knife, so the price was right for me, but I use it often and it has held up well. | 4,953 |
1 | Intelligent Observations | These stories of odd occurences, self development and intelligent observations of the world around Ms. Vowell are a pleasure to read. She writes in such a way that each story is as entertaining as it is educational. Each story pulls you along unwittingly toward a moral, whether it be the sanctity of mix tapes, American history or "Species-on-Species Abuse". She writes for more than just a punch-line, which isn't to say there weren't times I laughed out loud (e.g. Rick Derringer promoting clean guitars). A good book to take with you if you're traveling and need short stories that can stand alone.Bonus: There are 5 illustrations in this book by the talented Tony Millionaire, creator of the Maakies comic. What a treat. | 10,560 |
0 | Ghastly film | Hard to watch this simplistic barf.Money and time were spent on it, but I fast-forwarded before long, just to get through the embarrassing parts which run from start to finish.I won't waste money or time on it. Redboxed.Ghastly !Instead watch or maybe purchase: City of Life and Death by Lu Chuan | 47,977 |
1 | stowaway | I bought this product at the request of another person. But I can say That the delivery was on time, he bought because he liked the price and I think she liked the product | 25,930 |
0 | Terribly Miscast | This is a very lifeless production of Julius Caesar. Jason Robards is monotone and Charleton Heston rants and raves without ever parting his teeth. It is Planet of the Apes in Roman togas.If anyone knows where I can find a copy of the play starring Marlon Brando, please advise. | 34,473 |
0 | Ulysses, Jame Joyce | The book came promptly, but the condition was not "very good"as described. It also is paged differently from other Ulysses books used in my course. This makes it difficult to find sections that the class is discussing. | 47,033 |
1 | Priceless | This three-disc documentary about the career of Muhammad Ali is amazing, worth more than 100 miscast biopics put together. It tells the whole story, from his youth to his gold medal to his ascension to the championship to his exile from the sport and right through to the end of his fighting days and his later-life bout with Parkinson's. It works for fans of Ali, obviously, but it also works if you want a general primer on boxing history or even an overview of the social, cultural, and political tumult of the 60's. Love him or hate him, the man is an icon, and this has all the footage and all the interviews with all the people who know and were there. An absolute must-have. | 1,910 |
0 | Does NOT Fit the Ford Explorer 2002 | Waste of money since you can't send it back once you have openned it. It is clearly labeled to fit "all" in those manufactured years. It does not and I was required to buy the correct kit from a retail store and eat the price of the kit from amazon. Lesson learned - buy local. | 21,103 |
0 | Kirkus got it backwards | I like the novels and don't think they are too long. But I feel that this book is a rip off and maybe Gabaldon is getting too big for her britches. It's too much money to pay for stuff I've read in other places. | 40,813 |
1 | A free book | A great author, and a free book. What more can you fairly ask for? As for me, I'm glad to have it. | 6,156 |
1 | Color mixing for the little ones | Ellen Stoll Walsh teaches color mixing in this entertaining story about 3 white mice who find three jars of primary colored paint. I read this book to my kinders before they did their own color mixing art project and they just loved it!The pictures, created with cut-paper, are just darling. This is worth having in any classroom or home library. | 16,129 |
0 | Very tiring to read | This work is difficult to read. There are enough exclamation points to exhaust most readers. A lack of humility and the self aggrandizement soon makes the reader quite weary. The subject matter is well woth exploring but the author gets in the way. I cannot recommend this book. | 4,070 |
1 | Amazing album | This album is incredible.If you're looking for Chris' solo music to be a continuation of the Nickel Creek material, you're going to be disappointed, especially when you get to 'Locked Doors.'If you like Nickel Creek and are willing to go on a different musical adventure with Chris as your guide, put 'Deceiver' in the CD player or whereever you play your tunes and have a cool time. Musicians and creative songwriters will enjoy this a lot.Based on what I've experienced here, I think Chris should do a record with producer Jon Brion - it would be brilliant and probably more misunderstood than what 'Deceiver' reveals.I love this record. Your mileage may vary. | 33,427 |
1 | Hilarious British Humor | If you are a fan of "British" movies like the Pythons and others, you will love this film. If you aren't, but are ok with the British accent, this is still a great film. If you hate listening to the British trash the American Language (that an American joke, don't be offended) then you will not like this film.I have seen this film quite a few times and let me say this. I liked it the first time I saw it, but each time I watch it, I find more nuances that I like even more.... Plus, now I can understand Pikey (the accent Brad Pitt uses) without the subtitles.Also, you can check out an old | 15,940 |
0 | Live By Request | Wonderful VoiceNo you do not have to be gay to appreciate this womans voice and if you are, you would probably be attracted to her. I am attracted to both voice and person of k d lang. Gay pride brought her to San Diego this past August, I would have attended the event, for sure, had gay pride not have had to bring k d to town. What diff? K D - whazz-up widt you, can you come to town, with out? You have many fans!!!! | 35,711 |
0 | Suggestion | I found this book to be lacking.For those who want to read a great book on heavy metal. I suggest "Bang your Head - The Rise and Fall of Heavy Metal" by David Konow on Three Rivers Press, a division of Random House publishing. | 18,519 |
1 | A western outlook on what it takes to be happy. | This book is a good example of an analytical, Western thinking mind contemplating what Buddhism is all about. Dr. Cutler does a very good job asking the Dali Lama most of the questsions that Western thinkers want to know about Buddhism, and what it means to be happy. | 11,077 |
1 | Look Mom, no gas. | Works great. I mow a small area with Turfalo (buffalograss hybrid). At times pieces of wood mulch from the garden beds will stop the blade but I just back up a bit a keep on going. What I like most is when I want to mow I grab the mower and start mowing. It does not get close to the sides of vertical surfaces so you do have a little more trimming to do. Overall I am very happy with the mower. Others reviews said the handle bends easily but I have not had a problem with that happening although I plan to stiffen it up a bit with a fabricated brace across the top of both handles. | 30,079 |
0 | HELP! | Unfortunately, the DVD is not playing. Is my player antiqued or is it the disc? Other DVD's play fine....what's up? | 9,380 |
1 | Erotica That Spans the Gamut | This is a delicious collection of erotica which presents well written and clever pieces. While the works may be primarily intended for a female audience, I think that many men will find it instructive of the female mind. The wide variety of erotic subjects explored will surprise even the most experienced lovers; however, if you don't have an open mind, you may be turned off by some of the selections. | 47,492 |
0 | Got all the stories Wrong | Well according to this book, Aladdin and Mustapha were in China..I am surely not going to recommend this book to anyone,The author should get her facts straight, unless she is claiming to write her own stories in this book, | 39,775 |
