1 | One of the Best | "Must... fear... change!" Scream the masses who compare Garfield to Get Fuzzy, and derive that Get Fuzzy is just a horrible imposter. This book proves that while yes, it is possible for an artist to pay homage to other artists, at the same time a unique product can be derived. Conley's pen draws more than just witty banter between pets and their master, he also draws a rather modern illustration of the typical bachelor male. I imagine those most opposed to the cartoon are those which realize the only difference between their lives and this great comic, is that their pets can't talk. Jealousy is unbecoming! Instead, purchase this book, and realize that it is funny enough to stand on its own. | 7,486 |
1 | Beautiful piece of jewelry | This was a gift I bought for my daughter. It is so pretty, she immediately put it on.The color and quality is perfect. I would recommend this piece very much. | 11,588 |
1 | Excellent book! | This book is very touching...it sensitively portrays the sacrafices Mexican immigrants have to make to move to America for their children to have a better life. Very well done themes of parental love, long car trips, the sadness of leaving one's home country, sibling realtionships, husband and wife being romantic (tasteful and age-appropriate), and a child's growing understanding of the complexities of life. Buy and read it to every child (and adult) you know. | 31,264 |
1 | Dirty, dirty fun | This may be the raunchiest movie I've ever seen, but my wife and I loved every minute of it. Worth renting just to hear the things that come out of the teddy bear's mouth. | 31,123 |
0 | Get Baked and Die Laughing | Man I listened to this album and I gotta tell ya, there are some gullible folks out there. It is one of the best examples of the worst that rap music has to offer these days. Give me P.E. or classic Dr. Dre anyday over this drivel. It is easier to sell crass to the masses when the biggest rap personalities are a**es. That's better than any thing on this album. Boo Ya! | 23,020 |
0 | Will not make you a Java programmer | How can anyone give 4 or 5 stars to this book?! I read it twice, very carefully. Many critical concepts are just mentioned, not EXPLAINED. This book will not make you a Jave programmer. And it is not good as a reference book either. Actually I don't know what it's good for. I wasted my time, and now I have to order another book. If you goal is getting an overview of what Java is, go for it. But if you want to learn Java, try something else. | 2,417 |
0 | Hello Kitty "Let Down" | My daughter got this for Christmas and within an hour and a half had did everything she could with it. It would be a real cool activity "if" you could find the replacement sticker tape and lamination. Even the big office stores are unable to special order them.allysmom | 49,631 |
1 | A great collection of songs from the originators of call-and-response rap! You'll love this CD! | I haven't heard any of their other compilation CDs, but I at least know that this one is extremely satisfying. All their hits are here ("O.P.P.", "Hip Hop Hurray", etc.) and even some non-hits which are still very very good. Naughty By Nature originated the call-and-response rap style which is very fun and definitely not a cheap gimmick. Every rapper in the group is FANTASTIC - not only can they spit extremely well but they have great charisma. You will love how they sound. The lyrics are also very well done - they're definitely catchy, somewhat memorable and, most of all, interesting and occasionally deep. The production may be a bit dated on some of the songs, but in no way does this hinder the experience. Rap fans and probably non-rap fans will absolutely love this CD! Highly recommended!Highlights include:the entire album! | 21,046 |
0 | Questionable design, handles get very hot | Photo looks very appealing. Upon using it for the first and only time, these issues crop up:1. The bottom is not perfectly flat, so it does not sit flat on my radiant cooktop, and spins around. (This will not apply to a gas range or a ring-top range).2. The metal handles get as hot as the pan, so using a handle to hold it steady is not a bare-handed task. You need to keep a potholder handy, and if you are cooking more than one or two items, the potholder comes in the way, in addition to risking falling into another pot! Wonder what they were thinking of to put metal handles; the non-metal ones would have been so much more useful.I returned mine. | 26,791 |
0 | Strange | I went to see this with my two teen daughters (17 and 14). We often love the movies the critics hate. We love action, graphics, and movies that keep moving and don't always have to make you think or cry. That said, this was the absolute worst movie I recall ever seeing. It was simply too weird to explain. I wanted to love the action parts, but the action made no sense since it was all in her head while she was dancing? This was the first movie that all 3 of us walked out of hating. To this day I have a sense of confusion feeling when I even think about it. | 38,393 |
0 | My laptop with this battery does not boot | I bought this battery and when I used it my laptop does not boot. To make my Toshiba Portege boot, I have to unplug it and turn it on with a external battery and then, after operating system starts, I then plug the battery back and it works... so, don't buy this product because it does not work correctly. | 41,033 |
0 | A "Feel Good" Movie, Are you Kidding Me???? | At least two times I heard the media refer to this at a feel good movie. This movie made me feel terrible. The only think that made me feel good was that the characters survived this movie, and it was finally over. I would have felt good if the character won the money and then did something great with it to change the slums. All the characters, save one, were black and white. As opposed to say, Gran Torino, the movie I think should have won, which had characters that were black, white,grey, good, bad, and changeable. Really depressing to me is that nothing has changed in the slums of Bombay(now Mumbai) since I was there 40 years ago, and nothing will until the culture changes. If you want to see how the people have survived with dignity and compassion those forty years watch a real movie live Patrick Swayze's City of Joy! | 17,394 |
0 | poor use of ink and paper | This book, if you can call it that, is the search for cash on the good name of the Boy Scouts. Save your money. This person was clearly a warped scout indeed if they can rip people off with such a poor work. No Eagle values or OA honor here. Stay away! | 19,280 |
1 | Best song compilation soundtrack out there. Period. | From jazzy to rock & roll tunes, this is by far the best song compilation soundtrack I know of, and I have listened to quite a lot of soundtracks in my life.A stylish movie gets a stylish soundtrack, and while some tunes are missing from this soundtrack, one has to commend the creators of this OST for putting 31 beautiful songs, capping an almost 2 hour listen. It does cost about double the price of regular soundtracks but it's worth every penny.With Louis Prima, Tony Bennett, Dean Martin, Fleetwood Mac, Harry Nilsson, B.B. King, Otis Redding and many many other great artists of the golden years, one can have timeless joy every time this compilation goes in the CD player.While it is a bit pricey, it is thoroughly recommended to anyone who can enjoy some good old jazz and rock & roll. Simply a wonderful collection of songs. | 16,183 |
1 | Zen as poetry, art, history | This is an extraordinary and beautiful book. It's hard to putinto words how the art shown, the brief yet eloquent summaries of the livesof some of the major teachers in the tradition, and the poetic excerptscombine in a seamless way.Be sure to get the hardback. | 26,601 |
1 | LOVED IT | I have always loved fairy tales, so when I saw this in the bargain section of Barnes and Nobel, I knew I was going to love it. This book is a compilation of just over 20 fairy tales, retold by some great writers in the fantasy and horror genres. I will definitely keep these authors in mind when buying future books, because of how well written the stories were. There are so many styles of writing and different fairy tales in this book that each story felt very diverse. Both retellings of Little Red Riding Hood were my favorites from this book. Each story is dark and beautiful.VERDICTAnyone who loves fairy tales and horror will like this book. I loved it!see more reviews at kaitlinmichelle.com | 28,505 |
1 | A grand introduction | This is a fine starting point for this band, one of the finest of the late 60's-early 70's. Most of the hits are here. This will make you want to check out some of their regular albums (Green River, Willy & The Poor Boys, Cosmos Factory, etc). To Fantasy: this band is due for a major retrospective and remastering, hopefully with bonus tracks added to the CDs. | 2,346 |
1 | Penn State Garden Gnome | Ordered the PSU Garden Gnome for my husband who is an avid gardener and Penn State alumni. The gnome is small but very cute. The package didn't include information on whether the gnome is waterproof (we're assuming it is) but he's now outside in the garden watching over our roses!?! | 23,636 |
1 | Miracle | I have three dogs, and one of them kept having bouts of diarrhea. My vet gave her antibiotics and other prescription drugs to resolve the problem. These would work for about a week, and then the problem would return. My dog groomer suggested that there might be a food allergy involved. I looked on Amazon.com and saw the "Wellness Limited Ingredient Diet for Dogs with Food Sensitivities Simple Food Solutions" dog food. I noted that the primary ingredent was lamb instead of corn...I ordered some and the first day I fed it to my dogs, it worked!!! My little dacshund Sugar had no more diarrhea or sickness from that day forward. I feed it to all my pets and I believe that they are actually happier now. I am too!!!! | 31,765 |
1 | very good | Its a book that teaches you the high importance of apology. How it helps maintain relationships, and how to apologize to each person, and let them know its sincere. Because sometime you are, but the other part doesn't believe you. This book explains why and how to make it right.Bad part is, that after it ends explaining that (which is at about half of the book), the rest is pure b.l..... blah, blah, blah..... That's why no fifth star.But just read the first half, and its more than worth it. | 45,875 |
1 | Quite possibly the best Harris book ever | Despite some other people says, I think Hannibal is twice as scarier than Red Dragon and The Silence of the Lambs. This book is full of detail that you are in part of Hannibal and Clarice Starling. In my own opinion a well detail book gets in a way of being scare to go on. In Red Dragon and The Silence of the Lambs, it's the book that goes on but sometimes you felt like you want to stop. | 30,886 |
1 | City Island is a delightful movie | I enjoyed City Island so much the first time I saw it, I returned the next night so my husband could see it. After a year went by, I thought it was time to see it again. It is a delightfully quirky funny movie. | 48,473 |
1 | Highly Informative | Cowboys and Kansas is a must for anyone interested in researching and/or reading just that: cowboys in Kanas. The book gives you a thorough look at the uniqueness of cowboying and cattle ranching in the Flint Hills region of Kansas. There are countless books covering the more "popular" Texan cowboy or the cowboy of the trail driving days. Along with some of his other books, Mr. Hoy provides much needed information regarding the Kansas Cattle business, particularly during the early 20th century. | 1,956 |
1 | One of the Best Shows | I am a true fan of this series, after 10years I still wanted more. I know all good things come to an end, and if it must this was a very good way to tie all the loose ends of the series together and is a must have for those of us who own the DVD collection of the previous ten years, or even for those of us who don't have all or any of the show this purchase is worth it. | 32,639 |
1 | Good product | I bought this as a present for my husband for Christmas. He absolutely loves it. He wasn't sure if the AM would work well but in fact, it does. It's perfect since it's pocket-sized. Definitely would recommend this product. | 17,192 |
1 | Yay! | I purchased this to use as a mailbox in my classroom. Having a mail system makes returning papers and delivering handouts a breeze. We've been using it in the classroom about two weeks and it seems to be holding up well. My husband put it together in about an hour. I am happy with this purchase. | 12,512 |
1 | A "must" for everyone, especially young adults. | This is an enlightening piece of work. I suggest it for everyone, especially young men and women entering adulthood. It makes a great Bar or Bat Mitzvah gift!!! | 39,698 |
1 | My Favorite Singer | I started listening to John Gary in the mid 60's. My favorite album was "A Little Bit of Heaven". I would love to get a copy of this. My record was broken. If you can reproduce this album I would love it. If anyone has it please notify me how I could get it. tommolloy@hotmail.com | 32,338 |
1 | True Hip-Hop Talent | I was lucky enough to see P.O.S. in concert with the likes of K-OS (also very good) and Gym Class Heroes. Out of the four acts of the night, P.O.S. stood out as the most memorable and energetic. This album is very upbeat and is sure to get you moving. I also like that his songs have a message, reminiscent of the likes of Talib Kweli or The Roots (pick those two up if you haven't yet). This is true underground hip-hop at its best! | 26,248 |
0 | Phil | This is a very complicated diet, too complicated. The history part is of some value. A better choice is Neander-Thin by Ray V. Audette which is working for me. | 20,123 |
0 | like a car accident | Held my attention - too hideous to look away, much like a car crash, hence the two stars. ONLY two stars for being so extreme and unsubtle and that it is, as another reviewer said, completely unbelievable, and therefore fails in its pummel-you-about-the-head message. | 35,545 |
0 | The product received is only Tumeric and not as advertised. | There was no other rating to use to advance. The seller has indicated that they do not carry Tumeric and Bromelain and Amazon has incorrectly touted the product as such. I ordered this and received 3 bottles of Tumeric (only). This is misleading advertisement and now I have lost the use of my funds and I now have to go through the hassle of returning the product which are both quite unacceptable | 36,359 |
0 | Little added value | In regard to blocking spam emails, I have not found much in this product that is not available for free with Outlook Express filtering.The popup blocker would be OK if it didn't block good as well as bad popups.All in all this program creates more trouble than it prevents.Not worth the price. | 27,198 |
0 | not Mac compatible and they don't care | This camera is not Mac compatible, the Samsung technicians know it, and they don't care -- at least the one I spoke with didn't care about the fact that I was out $500. It states nowhere on their Amazon page or the Samsung website that this camera doesn't work on Mac systems. It's false advertising, and they're rude on top of it. What a waste of time and money, not to mention I can't get my video and still images off the camera before returning it. Who makes a new camera these days that's not Mac compatible? Samsung = so lame. | 24,453 |
1 | GREAT! | I absolutely love reading Neville's books. I learn a lot and think she is an inspiring writer. | 10,511 |
0 | WEAK!!! | This collection is so lame I don't know where to start. Where's Rock Candy, Trans Am, Plain Jane, This planet's on fire, I don't need love, Three lock box and so on.Oh yea. The fidelity sucks too. PASS!!! | 4,812 |
1 | Creative! | I bought this music cube because of the high ratings on it. I didn't expect much because it didn't look like it could do much. Our 1 year old doesn't really spend hours playing wtht the music cube but it is creative. It plays different instuments. One instrument can be played or all of them together which is neat. The music is soothing and not loud and annoying. The cube is very durable so it can be dropped many times and still play. Oh, the colors light up too, but hard to see in daylight. I still recommend this toy. | 34,772 |
1 | The Plot Thickens..... | In the fourth part of The Seventh Tower Series, the story finds Tal and Milla separated once again. Milla is desperate to tell the Ice Carls of the dangers she has seen (and also to repent for her "sins" by leaving herself on the ice). Meanwhile Tal teams up with the Freefolk boy Crow to find and secure the Red Keystone. The story is somewhat slow, but takes twists and turns and ends on a very suspenseful note. A good read in the latter end of the series. | 36,523 |
1 | One of his BEST!! | David Wilkerson haS ALWAYS been a great man of God and he has insights that are uplifting and that bring great understandingall throughout this book.Each chapter is like a new Bible study !It will bring you great encouragement along with new knowledge!!I bought at least 4, 1 for me , the others for gifts. | 37,864 |
0 | Just Awful | In the middle of a festival of gay themed movies(read downbheat and depressing) I looked forward to this offering for some light relief and humor.I was totally disappointed on all counts. None of the characters are likeable and if it is a study of humanity, both gay and straight, then the world is in pretty bad shape. The film portrayed most characters as mercurial, unstable and morally bankrupt.What could have been a movie relevant to the current situation of Gay Marriage turned out to be a lesson on why most people are skeptical of the relevance of such unions. | 33,479 |
1 | The acme of the arcade racer | This game is everything the James Bond series isn't. You know those two or three driving missions in all the Bond games? The ones where you get to drive something hot like an Aston Martin with rockets and guided missiles? I always enjoy them, but there are so few that I play them to death and quickly tire of them. SpyHunter (now a few years old) is still the epitome of arcade, shoot-em-up racing. Your car, the Interceptor, has all the Bond-esque features you love (like smoke screens and machine guns) with the added bonus of MORE THAN TWO MISSIONS!! Fourteen missions still isn't much, but who's counting if the gameplay is good? (esp. if you add in the unlockable movies, multiplayer games and cheats)...P.S. The first level can seem daunting at first, since there's no Tutorial. But you must pass it! You must! Pass it, I say! | 24,809 |
1 | karbons are cool | this game rocks!the karbons are cool!my favorite karbon is twin dragon.bomberman has to save max. the only thing i dont like about it is that in quest mode you cant have a diffreint color bomberman suit like the ones in battle mode but the game still rocks! | 37,631 |
0 | A wonderful book, but..... | The one star is to attract atttention. I actually thought this book was original in prose and content until...I read 'Need', a short story in a book called Beyond, author Theodore Sturgeon circa 1960. The plot and idea of this book, while excellent, as well as the outstanding prose of King combine to make this a Five-Star book. Nonetheless, the credit for this story goes to Sturgeon. For those of you who don't know, Sturgeon was an outstanding SF writer of the 50's and 60's who Stephen King obviously read. If you like King, you'll love Sturgeon who can do the same thing in thirty-five pages that King takes five-hundred for. And if you think King can write, well let me tell you, you'd better read Sturgeon! | 38,125 |
0 | CRapmstein | Rammstein is an embarassment to Germany. They're some gloomy metalhead band that wears neo-fascist gutter uniforms while blowing up boxes on stage.Avoid this. | 40,114 |
1 | Bruckner symphony No.00 | This is a fine recording,however the 1st and 4th movements are performed without there expostion repeats.The timeings for the movements are:I Allegro molto viviace 11:21II Andante molto 12:31III Scherzo:Schnell 5:05IV Finale:Allgro 8:13The most interseting part of this disc is the recording of the (1878) Volkfest finale from the 4th Symphony, which is most intresting to compare with the Finale of the the other two main versions of the 4th Symphony.Allegro moderate 19:03'If your interested in a recording of Symphony No.00, may i recommend Inbal with the Frankfurt RSO(on Teldec),and Skrowaczewski with the Saarbruecken RSO (on Arte Nova). | 14,982 |
1 | Curious George Mousepad | Thie is a wonderful Hi-Quality Product!! I am very happy with my new mousepad!! | 39,087 |
0 | Stop Big Brother | Great innovative game, however, I would not recommend buying it or any other title from EA until they fix the heinous and flawed DRM system. It is appalling and I refuse to buy any EA products until they fix this policy. | 41,799 |
0 | Britney's got a voice! | Did I confuse Jessica with Britney again? Oh, no, this is Jessica's 'evolution' of sorts, into the land of ... pop. Yes, folks, this little virgin, or shall I say the record executives, decided to come out with a more sex pot image. Did this help her sales? Thankfully, no.I admit, the woman has a good voice, but she's incapable of releasing music that's worth listening to. I can't begin to describe how mundane this album is...it's truly a waste of time and finances.Did she blatantly copy Britney's already ridiculously unoriginal style? Yes.Did she trade in her morals for record sales? Yes, fortunately, this album was less successful than her debut.Is she ahead of the teeny bopper pact (including Britney, Nsync, Mandy Moore, etc.)? No. She's incapable of releasing anything that will capture the attention of anyone who does not suffer from major hearing loss... | 23,950 |
0 | Ditto the last review- just glad I sold it! | Yes, this game is very boring. The thing that bugged me the most was the bad simulating, like the draft. Reggie Bush falls to number 20? To me, EA just wanted to get this out as soon as possible so they could attract avid Madden players without interfering with the release date of college football 2007 or madden 2007. It seems like they could have used an extra 3 months to update the rosters (so my seahawks can get Julian Petersen!) and also to make the coach's interactions a little more realistic.Plus, I couldn't stand that every time I simmed a few days I had to stare at Bill Cowher's ugly mug until it was done. As a diehard Seahawks fan, I don't think I can ever root for the Steelers again :-) | 30,514 |
0 | Calphon Twill Thumb Mitt | You can not hold anything that is hot for very long. It is not as heat resistent as other gloves/mitts that I have purchased. | 39,607 |
1 | Good funny action spy show | Chuck looks like Greg Brady and the blond agent is a hot Marcia. Good scenes of her in her undies in the pilot and we'll probably see more of her as the series progresses. It's funny to see their take on Best Buy and their Geek Squad - "Buy More" and "Nerd Herd". Chuck's sister is a brunette hottie. Can't wait to see the next episode... | 27,008 |
0 | It must've been rotten | Because I watch every movie I buy ......and this is the only show I don't recall viewing !!!!Hmmmmmm [?!] | 629 |
0 | Drops calls | Facts:1. Every 10 minutes, the signal bar goes from 5 to 0. With a phone like this you are better off with a landline. My friend who lives with me in the same apt, has a cingular service and a nokia phone and the reception is much better in her phone. Sometimes I dont even get a ring when I get a call, it directly goes to voicemail. Even if you live on top a cellphone tower, dont buy this phone.2. The stupid charger doesnt charge the cell. You have to fiddle with it for 5- 10 minutes to make the cell phone charge.3. You have to go to 100 places to disable the phone from accessing the internet. Else you will get a heart attack when you get your monthly phone bill.4. I agree it has fancy features like bluetooth, but it is bad at searching other devices and transfering a file can be consider a nobel prize task.Whats the use of a PHONE when the basic reception doesnt work. | 43,406 |
1 | A wonderful read! | It's been years since I've read this book but the feel of it lingers still. It is the struggle between the evil and good of a dark witch and a white witch in old England. These witches are really almost ordinary women caught in the times they live in where the dark witch is old and filled with the dark thoughts that life can bring while the white witch looks towards the light. There is a struggle between their forces which one can see as how life is without understanding and reaching out between people. Elizabeth Goudge wrote with that wonderful sense that gives you the taste, touch, feel, and vision of how things must have been. I would love to read this book again as well as others she wrote. I hope her books will be rediscoverd as Edith Whartons were and republished for future generations to enjoy. | 1,540 |

0 | What a joke, didn't even work right | As a devoted user of Netgear cards and switches I am utterly disappointed in this product. My work purchased this item to use as our router for our new DSL line not knowing that there is a hidden trap and broken features. Only 8 computers can access the internet through this router until you pay even more for additional licenses. Additionally, the redirection of incoming traffic based on port numbers just refuses to work. (...) | 34,525 |
1 | Foot drop | These shoes, or I should say shoe, has worked well with the brace I must wear since i now suffer from foot drop. It is wider and a size and a half bigger then the shoe I wear on my other foot. | 14,416 |
0 | Depeche Mode Nightmare! | I don't know what happened, but this is Depeche Mode's worst album ever. This album is a Depeche Mode fan's worst nightmare.Hideous! This album is so bad that it does not even desereve a star. The music in this CD is nothing like Depeche Mode in terms of the unique musical quality that the band is known for.The band went astray into a musical direction that wasn't theirs.They should have left that wretched world of music to the several bands that are out there that cater to that type of music. It was obvious that the band was going through hard times in their career and personal lives that they put out this monstrosity of an album. Unfortunately this would be the last album that Depeche Mode would make with member Alan Wilder who left the group in 1995. Maybe this album is the reason why he left the group. Discard this CD. This is not normal Depeche Mode music... Songs of Faith and Devotion is hazardous to your ears and health. What a horrible album! | 24,998 |
0 | A Star is Born Fails to Capture Audience's Sympathy | A Star Is Born is a disturbing film for all the wrong reasons. By failing to get the audience to sympathize with a movie star's tragic downfall, the film displays a schizophrenic quality. There is almost a breakdown in the relationship between the audience and what happens on screen. This is in no part due to the performances by the lead actors; it's the nature of the material itself. Perhaps if we were to see the James Mason character as a likeable star before failure and booze drain away his ambition and reason for living, the audience would understand what the Garland character sees in him and we could sympathize with both characters. Instead, we see Garland's character despairing over a not very likeable washed-up drunk and we're left feeling as empty as the film itself. | 46,878 |
0 | didn't work for me - terrible customer support | I had great expectations for this drive. I love the idea of using an ethernet attached drive, both from a performance perspective as well as the ability to easily share the drive.However, I was unable to get the included software to even find the drive. I plugged it into a hub and could see that the drive was on the network. However, nothing I did seemed to have any effect. I tried to use their knowledge base and pretty much tried everything listed.After a while, I simply put in a support request. They state that they will get back to you within 3 days. After 4 business days, with no action taken on the issue, I simply sent the drive back for a refund. | 21,714 |
0 | Incredibly Awful | My first thoughts of this CD was "Should have expected this. Manheim hasn't written anything new in years." After that, it was "Why did they sign a pack w/ evil to ruin Christmas?"The music is incredibly awful. It's a strange mix of the various Christmas programs with Fresh Aire IV, mixed together with an awful story about monsters and trapped spirits. | 20,355 |
1 | Highly Recommended | Karolides, Bald and Sova have produced one of the most informative books regarding censorship. The format of their chapters is clear and concise. They separated the various sections on "Literature Suppressed" into four parts: "Political," "Religious," "Sexual" and "Social". After a brief summary of the book in question, they provide a history of the text's censorship, and a list of further readings.If there is an interesting and informative reference book on censorship that you want to add to your shelf, I would highly recommend this one. | 36,678 |
0 | Cheated. | This item was sent used - instead of new, as requested - without any packaging, from a person who simply sold it out of his pocket.Amazon's reply to my complaint was to give me the runaround. | 36,769 |
0 | Quality Problems | I remember this toy being fun to play with when I was a kid. Now we received one of these sets as a gift for my three year old son. The first couple of times we played with it it was pretty good. After that, a lot of the pieces don't stay together any more. Now I don't like to play with it. If we manage to build something it's just not sturdy and my son gets very upset when it falls apart. | 7,729 |
1 | Beautiful and eclectic collection of touching holiday music. | This a really wonderful holiday collection of songs that will touch every heart, young and old. We received it as a present several years ago; and it has become a family favorite. Just beautiful. One you will not want to put away. | 49,502 |
0 | Breaks after 8 to 10 weeks | I am on my 3rd one. I purchased this and keep returning them because the CD player part keeps going out. When I returned this COSTCO has said the've had the same problem with this unit. I went to TEAC's home page to find out if there was a fix and this product is not even listed. I like the unit when it works, but it breaks after about 8 to 10 weeks this has happended with all 3 units I used. I returned the last one to COSTCO, and I am now looking for something else. | 3,466 |
0 | Mashed Potatoes and Country Gravy with Turkey == Mystery Mounds | Prepping for the assault on Mount Robson in Robson River Campground, we opted to give Alpine Aire's Mashed Potatoes and Country Gravy with Turkey a try. Oops--we don't pack a pot large enough for the required 3.25 cups of boiled H2O. We found an O2 absorber and a country gravy packet inside. The directions didn't address the gravy packet. So we boiled 2 cups and mixed 'em with gravy and then into the main package while boiling another 1.25 cups. The water mixed poorly. We waited 8 minutes after each addition of hot water and still the moderately chunky turkey wasn't fully rehydrated, although the bits had a turkey flavor. The overall result was poor quality instant potatoes that were too runny and flavorless even with added salt and pepper. We threw half away and ate crackers instead. | 41,528 |
0 | I've had it with these (4th pair)... | Ok, I can't comment on the sound quality because I have no other earbuds to compare these too. Sound is sufficient and I never even doubted the quality...of the sound that is. As far as the actual hardware, there is an obvious deficiency in these earphones that needs to be imporved upon and/or fixed before they can keep marketing these.I'm on my fourth pair of these now, and EVERY SINGLE PAIR ive had has crapped out on me after about 4 or 5 months use. Its the same with every one. One of the earpieces will slowly deteriorate over the course of a day and then altogether break down. My left one just did this today, same exact thing happened with the other four pairs. I'm pissed because I keep buying these, and there's clearly a deficiency. Why do I keep buying them? Because they're 9 bucks and they fit and stay in my ear.Buy them to run and work out with for 4 months, but don't expect them to last any longer. | 14,902 |
1 | Awesome movie! | This movie is awesome! it is a great family movie that puts life in perspective! Nicholas Cage is great in this movie as well as Tea Leoni! I highly recommend it! | 48,034 |
0 | High tech, low performance | I bought this premium product to assure reliable performance. Mouse has features that duplicate those of browser and Isp. I don't need them. Left click button now continuously double clicks. First request for assistance was impersonal and gave no other option but to ship mouse off for repairs. I owned and used C64 with original joysticks for 15 years. This product was very unsatisfying and customer support poor. I am only user and am 61 yr old woman so rough treatment not the problem. If low tech user like me gadgets unnecessary. Should have had trouble free performance for more than 6 months. | 37,958 |
0 | I am disappointed in this | The book sounded good, but it's a sloppy collection of homes without much of a story to tell. It's more of a scrapbook of houses than a real book. Not worth the money I paid. | 43,207 |
0 | Useless | This useless device is loud, the bearings in the fan assembly folded 2 months in. If I could give this horrible device negative stars I would. | 47,491 |
1 | 5 years and its still running | Working perfectly since the day i got it - that was maybe 5 years ago.It still scans weight and body fat accurately. Battery life lasts anywhere from 6 months to a year. | 46,353 |
1 | Love it.... | can't live without this screen - love having it show all the photos from events of our family and many fun events | 48,748 |
1 | Very entertaining | I read this to my son and both of us enjoyed it very much. Lots of imagination and a good story. Took away one star because it felt rushed in spots (not enough detail or description, which is actually refreshing, considering that so many writers put in too much...but still). Haven't read #2 yet, but we will. | 47,651 |
0 | Not as described and not described clearly | Just ordered and received this camera and I'm not happy.Despite the "Technical Details" bullet point: "Runs on EIA scanning system and includes 12-volt DC power supply" it did NOT come with a power supply. Instead it came with a cable one might wire to a power supply- useless without buying additional equipment, which I would have done, had the description been accurate.Further, the camera is BLACK AND WHITE. In retrospect, I can see that the B/W at the end of the the serial number-esque title "SPECO CVC-57PH/HR B/W" probably stands for Black and White. But seriously, in the entire 5 paragraph description, this is _not_ mentioned! In the technical details list it is _not_ mentioned. There are many variations of this camera that look very similar to one another. Some I have purchased previously, which were in color. I would expect the Black and White specification to be more clearly and prominently displayed on this model. | 9,088 |
0 | good historical piece | While much of the music on here may not be that memorable, it is still an interesting reference CD to the double bass-less works of Bottesini. Most of these works are pulled from his operas and while some are actually rather nice, the orchestra isn't always accurate. The versions on Thomas Martin's Bottesini Vol 3 CD are much better. | 35,810 |
0 | A waste of time | I had wanted to buy this book for a long time. But I was very dissapointed with it. Don't waste your time, and buy a better book. Maybe something written by J.K. Rowling. | 5,413 |
1 | Total enjoyment.... | anyone who likes Donizetti or Bel Canto can not help but enjoy this wonderful performance. It goes beyond saying that Gencer is absolutely fabulous and dare I say comparable to Callas, but, as well, you get an outstanding S. Verrett, F. Tagliavini, etc. The only performance of this work that I feel surpasses this performance is the Naples performance a couple of years later ---also with Gencer, Verrett but with Oncina and Rossi as conductor. | 29,364 |
0 | Does not work properly on ds | I got this primarily for the backgammon feature. However, I cannot get the doubling feature to work on the DS (it does have a game boy advance cartridge slot). The right button works on other games but not this one. Without doubling, backgammon is no fun. | 15,017 |
0 | Run, Dont walk away from this one ! | If you are looking for a high quality piece of junk look no furthur. Besides having the worst software I've seen, when it does work it's dreadfully slow (not scanning, just warming up to scan.)Couple that with a terrible 90 day warranty and poor tech support (sorry HP, I just don't speak Hindu) this must be one of the worse computer items I have ever purchased.This will be the last HP product that I purchase, next scanner will be a epson, visioneer, canon, anything but a HP ! | 14,913 |
1 | lifesaver | This book saved me! My first calc class blew me away i credit the teacher but no need for excuses. I did very poor on my first college calc exam then I dropped the class and read this book very intently until I got a good understanding of the calculus ideas. The author, Mark Ryan is brilliant, his credibility precedes him which is obvious. He is very easy to understand and cracks a lot of jokes though out the book. Two things to point out: I don't suggest skipping class and just reading this book it will not work because, use this as an aid if anything, also the book takes a while to go through and really understand all the steps in the example. Anyway great book, helped me get an A in calc I and II and hopefully III. | 31,586 |
1 | Sturdy all natural brush! | I bought this brush because I had another brand of brush that broke after a few months. This brush is really sturdy and of good quality. | 27,797 |
1 | Great Music, Wretched Packaging | Just a few words. This is one of the most essential collections in jazz. So much has been said about the wonderful music here that there is really nothing else I can add. The packaging, however....Great book! The CDs, though, are tightly packed in cheap cardboard slipcases in the cover. The CDs are guaranteed to get scratched as you sweat and struggle to remove them. You can do one of three things: Place the CDs in standard jewel cases, make backup copies, or both (like I did). This is too great an investment to needless damage the CDs just by taking them out of the package. | 33,408 |
0 | Peppermints in the Parlor 2.0 with minor changes | This book would have been wonderful if I had read it without reading the first book, but it was pretty much peppermints in the parlor written again with a different title. I loved Peppermints in the Parlor and it is one of my favorite books from elementary school but the sequel just doesn't cut it.[...] | 32,240 |
1 | This movie was great! | I wish that there were more Woody Harrelson movies! But, honestly, now, I really don't remember the movie. We were laughing out loud at the absurdity, at the time. | 19,618 |
1 | GEORGE FOREMAN OMELET PLATES FOR GRILL | I bought these to go with my George Foreman grill. These are a great buy. They make a great omelet. These are a very inexpensive addition to your grill. I highly recommend them. They come as a set | 27,234 |
1 | Great movie, but DVD missing the additional footage | T2 is a classic Arnold action flick, kudos all around. But why o' why is there a VHS version of T2 with the extra scenes, but the DVD lacks them?as the title says, great movie, but the DVD disappoints. Yet another disc hurriedly thrown together to maximize on profits, but annoying to moviephiles like me. Why get a DVD that cannot deliver what the VHS can | 47,135 |
0 | What the hell is this! | I really want to give this album one star. Or zero stars. It's so trendy and popular and ever-so-hardcore. It IS pretty hard, which is what gives it marginal merit. If all you're looking for is some hard music with inane lyrics, by all means jump on the Korn bandwagon that seems so fashionable these days. I, for one, prefer my hardcore served with decent lyrics that I don't have to read the liner notes to understand. And preferably delivered by someone with at least as much singing ability as a stuck pig. Korn is none of this. Korn is good background noise, and nothing more. | 26,362 |
1 | Fun movie | Jack Frost is such a cute movie. Great movie for kids and adults. I just love christmas movies; this is a must have for your dvd collection. | 41,648 |
0 | Unoriginal "look at how good I am" guitar album. | Theres nothing original or great about this album. I heard about it from a friend who play classical & neoclassical guitar, so I decided to give it a listen. I didnt think there was anything original about it, hearing the same regurgitated heavy metal solo gets boring after a while. Definetly NOT one of Yngwie Malmsteens peers. | 1,790 |
1 | Great jazz sextet! | Europeans need to find a way to become more well known in the United States. Ugetsu is one of those groups that needs to be more widely promoted. They are just remarkable, especially with regard to the interchange between band members. It's as if they can read each others minds. "Live in Athens" won't let you down, in fact it may be just the pick up you need in your musical life! | 11,044 |
0 | RIP OFF! | This book is excellent... but the copy they sent me is so tiny! I am not happy and very upset. Make sure when buying this book you don't get ripped off like I did. It's so small I can't even read it. I hope I can at least get a refund? | 3,333 |
0 | Not half-behinded! | This CD isn't just a half-behinded attempt at being annoying--this is FULLY, 100% STUPID! The lyrics stumble over each other like blind kittens and the music slithers out your speakers like sewage polluting a river. Someone should horsewhip whatever record company that signed these morons! | 22,132 |
0 | An amazing, fascinating woman writes a dull, lifeless book | Eleanor Roosevelt's autobiography provides very little information about her life. She vaguely refers to many seemingly important events (such as the death of her father, her husband's presidency) with little emotion and no detail whatsoever. If you know a lot about her and the politics of the time already, it may offer an interesting perspective. If you want to know details of ER's incredibly interesting life, read her biography by Blanch Weisen Cook. | 2,102 |
0 | Far too Simplified | SUPER easy book for learning accounting. I enjoyed reading it at home and am going to read it for a third time: cover to cover. Very relaxed subject material. Only an idiot would have problems understanding the material. Should be mandatory 3rd grade class work. | 40,070 |
1 | The only book that rivals DUNE in vision | Dhalgren and Dune, if you only read two books in your life these should be them. | 44,778 |
0 | Not at all what I thought | I was really hoping for a mature character in the Leading woman. NOT! She was written as if she was helpless. Her thinking and actions were a bit annoying after a while. How she responded to her BF was even worse. | 38,840 |
0 | Pretty Simple | Dont expect much from this poor quality watch, buy a Timex isntead. The watch looks not so bad, but if you`re thinking surfing with it. think twice, since the first time i went to the beach, there was a lick on the screen. | 10,548 |
1 | Great service! Exactly what I ordered. | Ordered Dr. Quinn Medicine woman complete series for a Christmas gift. The product was shipped quickly and was exactly what I expected. The recepient was thrilled. | 33,271 |
