0 | Different color then what was shown | Quick shipping. The necklace came with the meaning and was just like what I buy in Hawaii. The only problem is when I received it it was a different blue then what I ordered. More of a teal. I might have returned it to try to get the right color but it was a gift. | 29,117 |
0 | Don't buy the Kindle Version | HelloI had some time ago borrowed and read the book, and it was witty and informative. Read the other reviews about the content of the book.However, now I bought the Kindle Version, and found out that none of the various figures that are crucial to explain certain ciphers have made it into the Kindle Version.Another example: When Singh explains that he has 'hidden' a text by marking some letters on this very page with a little inconspicuous dot below, it defeats the purpose if the Kindle doesn't display those dots.Seriously, get the book, but the real book, not the Kindle Version.Cheers | 21,480 |
1 | Does everything promised | I have used this product at a fixed location for a couple of weeks now. It has done just what it is supposed to do. It picks up the local weather radio station quite successfully, and I have heard its loud alert signal that a tornado was nearby, and just this morning, a blizzard was coming. I bought this for a trip that I never took, but now that I have this fine product, I don't think I'd be without it. I recommend this as a reliable and necessary warning device in those areas subject to severe weather.Others have complained that the manual is hard to understand, and it is a bit. A slight bit of effort will get you through it, and you only have to set your local county once. If you can set a digital watch, you can do this. Additionally, when it was unplugged for a few seconds by mistake, it held the time and county information. | 42,250 |
1 | A Nice Change | I only listened to a sample, but what I heard, I liked. You wouldn't know it to look at me, but I'm really into classic rock from the sixties and early seventies. I read about the Donnas and saw them in Drive Me Crazy, and decided to try them out. They fit right into my taste in music. Good, classic rock. None of that stupid alternative stuff with the synthesizers and reverb. This is true rock music. The Donnas have revived real rock music. I'm buying the CD as soon as I can. | 45,862 |
1 | I loved it!!! | This movie is perfect for not only children but anyone who loves the story of the boy who would never grow up. It creates a beautiful interpretation of Neverland that even J.M. Barrie would appreciate. | 6,522 |
0 | "An Ephemeral Tale" | If you are looking for drama, excitement or suspense, this movie will prove very disappointing. In fact, the bulk of the film deals with a group of endearing and quirky characters having a grand old time at a 1904 Dublin dinner party, where sentimentality, drinking, poetry readings and maudlin ballads prevail. In one brief moment, a couple engages in a sad pensive conversation. And that's really not enough to carry this film. | 29,736 |
0 | DOA | The player was DOA, showed something, when connected to PC, but will not turn on when disconnected. | 41,239 |
0 | one bad film leads to another.... | this is madonna's last time acting film...i don't really blame her. she continues to make really bad films and her acting just isn't that great. the plot was interesting...but the movie itself wasn't really all that special. plus, madonna does not age well in this movie. the wrinkles are starting to show on her face which make her look unflattering and old. | 11,429 |
0 | Clearly meant to test the market | A brilliant series that was on for four hilariously funny seasons. Unfortunately, this is what amounts to market tester for sales and we should all hope and pray they release a box set here in the USA like they have just done in the UK (where all four seasons have been available for years). My low rating is only a reflection of my distaste for the owner of the series not putting out the full seasons, otherwise it would be 5 stars. | 11,932 |
1 | Exactly what we were looking for | My stepson has recently picked up a lot of misinformation and crude terminology from friends at school when it comes to talking about sex (he is ten). This book was exactly what we were looking for and has been a tremendous help as we discuss more challenging topics such as the different kinds of sex, diseases, etc. He was excited to go through the book and had extensive questions during and after each chapter. I think he's relieved to know the facts and can be more confident when around friends that maybe don't have a realistic view of what happens. | 15,538 |
1 | Thoroughly entertaining reading experience | Add me to the OTHER half of Amazon reviewers who found "Saving Fish From Drowning" to be a utterly genuine treasure. For awhile, I was dissuaded from reading it by the negative critiques here, as well as from some professional critics. I'm very glad I eventually decided to pay no attention to their negative assessments.I, too, am a fan of Amy's works, and yes, it is true that this novel is not like her others. It is also a more challenging effort to concentrate on, because there are so many characters in so many different situations. Is that a bad thing? Is the prime pleasure out of reading a novel require that it be simple and similar to other works? B-o-r-i-n-g!If you're up for an original, engaging, humdinger of an adventure, that doesn't cater to an 8th grade reading level, do yourself a favor and dive into this one. | 122 |
1 | Sweet says it all | I ordered this flag to hang from my porch for the month of Feb and am so pleased with it! The colors are soft and muted, which I like. The construction seems to be very good and it has survived sun, snow, ice and strong winds in the 3 weeks I have had it hanging without any signs of wear or tear! This would be beautiful hanging in a nursery or little girls room also! | 14,202 |
1 | this book is amazing | Ok, i got this book as a gift. I had never heard of Bellamy and was worried that I would not like this book at all. But my apprehensions were soon soothed by the most interesting background story written by the editor Laura Bonds. The prologue she wrote about Bellamy sparked my interest and,honestly, I could not put the book down.The book is about a boy who goes to sleep and wakes up in the year 2000 (113 years later). The boy intellectually struggles with the facts of his old world and this new world utopia he has awoken in.The fictional utopia created by Bellamy birthed several utopia movements in America.I would recommend it to my friends. | 11,396 |
0 | If you like it buy it, but dont waste your money to try it | This stuff im sure is fine for people who are used to the taste of coconut water. Otherwise if your not used to it and just want to try something new, stay away. Its very bland and tastes like water with a few drops of coconut milk in it. To be frank im not sure why someone would even buy this. There may be other uses for it. I have found the only use is having a few sips and throwing it right in the garbage can. Ick. | 22,293 |
0 | ...Rhymes with "Bayer". As in aspirin. | I thought I was going to get a migrane. From each track.This guy not only cannot sing, but he can't play guitar, either.The songs are sophomoric at best, and the guitarwork blows.Another reviewer was right: "Don't believe the hype".And, what's he doing trying to rip off Dave Matthews' stage presence and singing style?? How shameless.I'm guessing we have college freshmen across the country to thank for Mayer's popularity.Mayer: Drop recording and get some much needed practice and experience.Do the club circuit. At least 200 shows a year for 4 years. Small joints where the maximum occupancy is twelve (including waitresses).See you in 2008 with a new album. Maybe then, there might be something good to hear from you. | 45,020 |
1 | Finest book on history of Hyderabad | Well researched and written. I came across this gem of a book in India and I have read it couple times. I found to my surprise that not even the locals of Hyderabad know as much as what this book tells. This book tells history behind the popular commercial spots in Hyderabad like 'King Koti', 'Abids' which none of the locals are aware of. Unfortunately many of the historical tombs and buildings of immense architectural beauty mentioned in this book are in ruin and some lost. If you are from Hyderabad (which I am not) and feel passionate about your city (which I do) this is your book. The most interesting part of the book is at the end when the police action was in progress. The chief of the much hated Razakars was running after his get-away plane in which he has stashed his fortunes with the Indian police hot in pursuit (sounds like Hollywood movie ending). Read the book to know what happens to him. | 18,181 |
0 | Below 1 star | I ordered three units for my 3 dogs. Two of the collars did not work right out of the box and one worked for about three days then stoped working. not worth the hassle. If you order, these just know that you were warned.Fred Bond | 1,562 |
1 | A real steal deal for the price! | This is very able software, I sold a room addition with drawings I made with it the first day out of the box! So it paid for itself many times over before I really learned all of its very powerful tools. | 46,621 |
1 | Excellent DVD | I purchased this DVD for my father who loves westerns. The westerns on this DVD had actors my father enjoys and for the price I couldn't pass it up. The whole experience with ordering, shipping and quality of the DVD was excellent. I highly recommend it to other western lovers. | 24,796 |
1 | Great Toy | At first I thought "Man, there's a lot of parts to this thing," but it is very easy to put together and went together quickly. I put it together right before I made supper. It has the perfect things babies love. Things to flip open and shut, soft squishy things, things to spin, a mirror. Everything somes off easy when you need to clean it. This is new for my third child. Our other saucer was given away. This one is so much better. It doesn't have too much on it, just enough. Our babies have all loved using an exer-saucer. As soon as they can hold themselves up sitting (around 4 or 5 months) we put them in an exersaucer. It really does free me up and keep them happily occupied. Plus, the price of this one is great. Some cost so much more and you don't have to pay more. This is great. | 19,045 |
0 | APC - Short Term Garbage | I bought the APC BE325 for a single small computer located away from the rest of the computer equipment in an out of the way area. Even though there had been no power failures, the APC failed outright within 10 months. Battery will not hold a charge no matter how long it is charged with nothing plugged into it. Never again.Have had much better luck with the CyberPower CP850AVRLCD. | 30,330 |
0 | Thank You Keith | Keith is such a wonderful performer and I'm so glad he put out this DVD. Now I can watch whenever I want. I'm looking forward to seeing him live in the future and for the release of his next album. I just can't get enough! | 34,556 |
1 | Great Xmas gift at a great price! | I fought with Macy's and JCPenney's over the price of this watch because neither of them would honor any coupons and charged me $65 before taxes ($69.55 after taxes). I searched online and found it here for about $54 including shipping and tax! My wife loved the gift and I saved about $15 at the same time! :) | 9,738 |
1 | Good coverage of the art and business of airbrushing nails | This book covers all the bases and gives good detail into the techniques, materials, and supplies required in the business of airbrushing nails. Several illustrations help guide you through some of the step-by-step processes. I would recommend this book to anyone who is seriously contemplating running a nail airbrushing business or is a serious hobbyist, even if you already have experience in airbrushing. | 21,131 |
0 | HP 02 Ink Cartridges | I ordered 3 ink cartridges through Amazon from a third party vendor (Infinite-Surplus). I have not yet tried any of the cartridges but the packaging leaves a lot to be desired and is not as represented in the photo. Rather than each cartrdige being shipped in a Hewlett Packard box as shown in the photo, the three were shipped in an envelope with only their inner packaging, as if they were broken out of the combo pack. On top of that, the packaging containing the magenta cartridge was open, which could indicate a returned cartridge or just poor packaging. | 34,849 |
1 | Works well but manual needs improvement | So far I have used this unit twice. Once for brown rice - I was a little dismayed by 2 hr cook time at first but it turned out so well that I will just plan ahead & use the timer and keep warm functions to get it ready when I want it. Cleanup was a breeze because of the nonstick coating of the bowl. Must remember to only use the paddle in the bowl to keep it from getting scratched. Second use was for steel cut oats - used the rice porridge setting, loaded it the night before (1/2 cup oats with 2+1/2 cup water), set the timer and at 8:30 the next morning opened the lid. Initially saw lots of froth, but stirred it and it was perfect. The manual seems disorganized & confusing and doesn't cover cooking other grains or specialty rices (just white & brown). I look forward to experimenting with it to steam vegetables - the steamer basket looks very handy. | 34,108 |
0 | disappointing! | "you'd prefer an astronaut" is one of my favorite albums and "electra 2000" is very enjoyable...however...this album...grossly disappointing. the lyrics compared to astronaut's clever metaphors are completely uninspired or in fact repeated. out of ten songs only two sound like the band tried. this is an afterthought of an album and i'd say pass on it and go listen to "you'd prefer an astronaut". and for the previous reviewers, you completely mislead me into believing this album was worth buying. | 46,937 |
0 | Not a good value for the money | In the past 3 years, I have blown through 3 of these. Thank goodness I have purchased them using discount coupons. What more can I say? Noisy, doesn't last 1 year with daily use. Cuisinart has really missed the mark on this one. It's time to upgrade | 26,952 |
1 | half slip | I originally purchased this half slip about a year ago in black and liked it. It seems to be well made, holds up fine in the wash, and does everything I would reasonably want a slip to do. When I decided that I needed another one, I got the same exact model again, this time in beige. I am happy with both colors and they are both wearing well. | 41,473 |
0 | not for me | sorry, but the feeling of immediacy of the original TV sketches really is the key for me when it comes to this material - hearing the audience reaction (not canned laughter, thank God!) is an important part of the performance for me. I'll be the first to admit that, had I never seen the TV show, I'd probably be just fine with the film versions of these skits. For a Python "dabbler" (i.e. greatest-hits-buyers) this disc is just fine - but I'm going to invest in the entire collection of TV originals instead . . . | 33,060 |
0 | You will not find GPS in here | The Sailor's Word Book: The Classic Source for Over 14,000 Nautical and Naval TermsCheck the date of publication before you buy this book. It was written in the 1800's and this is not apparent in the blurb about the book. | 10,854 |
0 | Horrible Piece of Fluff | This book sucked. I'm sorry to say it so bluntly, but I had definitely expected more from Sidney Sheldon, and this was a barley laughable waste of time...there is NO character development, and the girls, as noted by an earlier reviewer, got out of EVERY situation in the most corny, unrealistic ways. What was even more irritating than that was Mr. Bad Guy Kingley's remark EVERY SINGLE time they did that..kinda like a newer version of "Curses, foiled again!" The girls would escape and he'd go "Damn those bit**es!!" Hahaha, okay, maybe that was laughable, but really, don't waste your money. This plot would have been better off sometime after midnight on any B Movie cable channel...I.E: Lifetime. | 12,920 |
0 | Worst Thing Ever | Modern Arf is a book with absolutely no content. The sidebar on the cover is particularly aggravting. Pages devoted to Crumb, Wood, and DeCarlo all of whom made the cover? One each. Not to mention that the book is laid out terribly. THE TABLE OF CONTENTS IS ON PAGE 31. There is no rhyme or reason to where the book goes. There is just stuff and then some other stuff. Craig Yoe should be ashamed that he is profiting off of this garbage. He has big names and does nothing with them. Stay far far away. I think these other reviewers must be employed by Yoe because no one in their right mind would rate this highly. Please note that this low rating is NOT based on my dislike for comics or the all of the artists included it is for the book as a whole. | 48,773 |
0 | Burn in hell Michael Carr!! | This book is a bunch of crap!! If it was possible I would give it NEGATIVE stars....SOOO not worth it! Shannen was NOTHING like Brenda, and if the freak who wrote this actually thought that, then he needs help, and lots of it...Shannen is a great person, and the best actress ever....If you like Shannen, DON"T buy this book, instead...Pray that the author and publisher burn in hell for writing this crap...It's just horrible....SHANNEN ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!1 | 6,892 |
0 | Not Kenmore Q bag | This bag is not a replacement for Kenmore Q bags even though they come up in the search results for Kenmore Q vacuum bags. | 1,573 |
0 | Totally unoriginal, stinks to high heavens | I got this album due to its repuation as being the greatest metal album of all-time, yada yada, but I was sorely disapointed. This CD stinks. It is plain to anyone with ears that Guns N' Roses is just a huge rip-off of Creed. "Welcome to the Jungle" is a third rate "What if." "Sweet Child 'O Mine" is a poor man's "With Arms Wide Open." And the list goes on and on. That hack Axl Rose is such a Scott Strapp wannabe it's not even funny. All of Slash's solos are straight out of Mark Tremonti's songbook. Anyone who says this CD is good doesn't know a thing about rock n' roll. | 10,199 |
0 | bigest | i really did not like this at all i thought it was over price for what was on it and i did not even know any of the songs | 43,054 |
0 | TERRIBLE!!!!! WAS NOT WORTH THE WAIT! | I like all Harris fans could not wait for this book. I never could have imagined it like this. I am lost for words to express my feelings at how bad this was. | 22,989 |
0 | Not very educational, and some scenes go on too long | I was really hoping that this video would teach me more about tantric sex, but i was sorely disappointed. There is a lot of hand action, and many of the scenes go on for far too long with no education. About the only thing this is good for is to watch two men, one jerking the other. | 19,372 |
1 | Great early Mayall | This is one of Mayall's best and a fine example of early Peter Green's distictive guitar playing. If tou're a fan either of this guys you will like this disk. Definately get the expanded CD | 18,078 |
1 | The Great Gatsby | The beauty of this book is that Fitzgerald's elegant prose flows so nicely into the story being told. It is wonderfully written, but not distractingly so.I can't give the book 5 stars -- I save that for only the books I truly think are perfect -- but The Great Gatsby is definitely worth reading. For anyone who has ever felt that deep sense of purpose or meaning in a world that feels bloated with socialite zombies, Fitzgerald's novel is well worth your time. | 11,875 |
1 | Marco..........POLO!!!!!!! | I was expecting this to be your average horror, dead kid, dead wife, haunting the house thriller, i'm pleased to say its not that at all. Anyone who puts this movie down with a bad review must not have watched it to the very end. You think when it starts oh yes this has been done 1000 times before. Don't be mislead by false reviews. It hasn't. Watch it and see:) | 15,101 |
0 | algebra: made harder | look, this is one of the most ridiculous books i have ever seen. total rip-off of the money i used to buy this. i mean, they don't really explain anything, and its impossible to study this by yourself and not with a tutor. then, the answer column in the back only gives out answers on the odd problems, and most of the answers aren't even simplified!the explanations on this book never makes any sense unless your an adult. they mae simple problems more complicated than they already are. throughout the book, they make simple problems (such as the distributive problems) ridicolously long and painstaking. if you are a not a child genius or a prodigy, i reccomend you not buying this book. | 17,878 |
0 | It totally sucked. I'd give it 0 stars if I could. | A friend suggested this book to me. I have always been a great fan of DC comics, especially Batman. This account of the Dark Knight's earliest adventures completely disappointed me. Even the binding of the book was bad. The pages ripped out of the book at such a rapid rate that I could barely read it in order. But even that didn't matter. The story was so terrible that it was the same even if I read it backwards. The art was so bad, I didn't even know whether it was comic book art or a collection of picassos(no offense to expressionist art). I expected more from this creative team. but now I will never read any Batman story again. Frankly, I would rather watch an infomercial | 8,726 |
1 | Timeless | The Beatles produced so much great music that it is difficult to say which album of their's I like the most.Though there will be debates, Sgt Peppers is one of the albums that I consider a must have of their studio records. From the opening of the title track until the reprise it is clear why this is one of the classic records of all time.With such well known songs as "With A Little Help From My Friends" and "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds" some other songs "Being For The Benefit of Mr. Kite" get overlooked. From the humorous and thoughtful "When I'm Sixty Four" to the haunting "She's Leaving Home" and "A Day In The Life" this record shows the range that makes The Beatles so special in rock. | 49,643 |
1 | Dexter: The Fourth Season | I bought this DVD set for my son, who is on a humanitarian voyage with the US Navy. In his free time, he watched all the episodes and thought that this season of Dexter was outstanding. So, I get a happy US Navy Corpsman from this transaction. | 37,795 |
1 | Very Informative. | This is a good descriptive book with black and white drawings and one section of around 50 color pics. It should come in handy in the Colorado Rockies. It's always a good idea to get a couple books like these on the same topic by different authors, or search the internet, to cross-reference and double and triple check to make sure that you've properly identified each species. | 51 |
0 | I wish I hadn't bought it! | This is the first John Grisham book that I have regretted buying before learning more about it. This book was more of a political agenda than a novel. Next time, John, if I want to have your political views shoved down my throat I'll ask for it. Give us The Firm & A Time To Kill not The Street Lawyer. | 45,389 |
1 | Too costly | Do not buy this IMfree from amazon.com...its too expensive. My sister and my friend both bought the same exact thing for $45 at WalMart and Circuit City.It is very neat, but the screen does not light up and so it's hard to use in dim light. Good things about it: You can use it up to 150 feet of a computer...If you have two computers and two sisters (like me) then you can just go somewhere else like sit outside or something and chat with your friends instead of making your sisters mad by taking up the computer and not giving them a turn. Another good thing is that you can register 6 or 7 IMfrees to one computer. You can talk to 6 people at a time, but the only capability you can do is Chat. You can't DirectIM anyone or recieve pictures or files.This is a good product, but please, save money and buy it at Circuit City or WalMart!! | 31,839 |

1 | A 2194 odyssey | Even though Tendai, Rita, and Kuda are the kids of a multimillionaire, they are literally trapped within the walls of their 2194 home. Their father kept them at home due to his many enemies still around the streets. But then the children decide to run away from home, which leads to talking Blue monkeys, trashpeople, and mutants chasing them around. This is a futuristic odyssey you don't want to miss. | 42,868 |

0 | I found Spook a big disappointment | For me listening to the audio book version was quite diconcerting. I felt the reader Quiggley did a poor job in the manner she presented the material IE in a scoffing manner.In my opinion the book is not worth purchasing | 37,808 |
0 | Horrible taste! | If there was a lesser rating this product would get it. It tastes like plastic and it's very grainy. I tried mixing it with berries and I tried it with coffee. Nothing helped. What a waste! | 12,974 |
0 | Died after 14 months | The heating element burned out after 14 months of minimal use, I would expect a product to last longer than 2 months after the warranty ran out. | 42,182 |
0 | Avoid Falcon Farms At All Cost! | Avoid Falcon Farms! They do not deliver what they advertise. I ordered approximately one week ago and did not receive anything even remotely similar to what was pictured in the ad. I feel completely deceived. Avoid! | 18,723 |
1 | Best lines for the price! | Stopping power is better with these lines! I did these and some ATE super blue at the same time. Glad I did! | 27,483 |
1 | IS makes a world of difference! | Without the IS system, I can only look through these things for a few minutes before my trembling hands have me nauseous. But the IS allows me to look through these as long as I can support them. Like another reviewer, I find I have to fold down the eye cups for a better view.I fail to understand why Canon can't include a cover for the objective lenses, particularly at this price tag. Aside from that, the only complaint worth mentioning is that they are rather heavy, and you won't be pointing these at the sky for too long without a tripod or something supporting your elbows.If you can afford them and don't mind a little weight, you will be pleased. | 36,366 |
1 | nutty about coconut, lime & verbena | I LOVE this bath salt....the smell is subtle yet lingers with me. I found this at a TJMaxx originally & have been re-ordering from Amazon ever since!!!!! It doesn't foam up, but it makes for a great soak =) | 7,168 |

0 | He cried because it hurt him | Every time I put Port in this carrier he cried. I couldn't figure it out. One day He HAD to be in it because I had a dr appt and we were waiting. I couldn't get him to stop crying unless I held him up higher then all of his weight in the carrier. It became quite clear. It was hurting his (for lack of a better word) boy parts. I left the carrier at the dr's office. Something that I also noticed was the material between his legs was far to wide and tight. Since then we have moved to a native sling and LOVE it. He's comfy and I'm comfy.The reason I gave it 2 stars is it is comfortable wearing it and I have a cracked tail bone. | 24,220 |
0 | Valdes-Rodriguez Strikes Out | As a fan of Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez, I had high expectations for "Make Him Look Good". It turned out to be a sore disappointment. Though it had its interesting moments, this book got to the point of being almost painful to keep reading. The writing was unimpressive, the plot completely over-the-top (even moreso than "Dirty Girls"), and the author included sexual situations that were crass and unnecessary to the story. Characters were recognizable as parodies of Marc Anthony, Dayanara Torres, Jennifer Lopez, Tommy Matola, and Thalia. I'm not sure what Rodriguez has against these celebs, but wow. You know, on second hand, maybe you should read this book, just to see what I'm talking about. Piece of advice though: borrow it from a friend or the library. It's truly not worth your money. | 46,905 |
1 | One of the Best Rock Albums Ever | Ok... I admit it... I am a new Incubus fan, and I was only interested in them after hearing "Stellar" and "Drive" on the radio. I was expecting less when I heard this album, I was expecting a kind of top 40 ...collection of "rock".And it hasnt left my CD player since I bought it. Brandon Boyd (and yes.... he is gorgeous) actually SINGS the songs, unlike Fred Durst and others, who try to cover up the fact that they have no talent. He is loud and rebellious when he needs to be, and soft and gentle when he needs to be, but always keeping his voice at just what the song needs. Right now, my favorite songs are #11, #13, and #6, but all have equal grace and beauty.The lyrics are incredibly introspective, and require one's own interpretation. These guys are musical geniuses, and its sad to see that someone like Britney Spears outsells them. But I can tell you that Incubus will definitley be around for a very long time. | 10,309 |
1 | Ancient Discoveries DVD | The things that made an impact on me are, the detailed explanations and the high standard of the commentary. The quality of the computer reconstructions. The overall presentation, professionalism and quality is of the highest order. Not all the material presented is factual or proven. Speculation and reasonable assumptions have been employed in a responsible manner and are required to a certain degree because of the nature of the subjects being dealt with. All speculative content is sensetively introduced and appropriate within the context of these documentaries. Very worthwhile, a fine series, eye-opening and unique in many ways. You will see things here that you have never seen on any other ancient history documentary. A thourghly enjoyable, informative, quality doucmentary series. | 22,196 |
0 | This game is a huge letdown after CTR! | This game is way to easy!!! I got it thinking it would be tough, challengeing, and fun like CTR(crash team raceing)! I mean it was like you just beat 3 little easy races and you are done with the whole level. and the boss of each level is even easyer than the level its self! trust me but CTR instead! | 26,805 |
1 | Relive the movie | The music on this soundtrack is inspiring and enjoyable. I love soundtracks as I can relive great movies. If you enjoyed the musical "Prince of Egypt" you will love this soundtrack CD. This is not for you if you don't like musicals! | 40,165 |
1 | Great book | This is an awesome book. My 5-year-old wanted only to read Star Wars stuff, so I thought the myths might catch his attention. They did! He begged to read more every night. We're reading it a second time now, and I love hearing him talk about the gods and goddesses alongside Boba Fett & Obi Wan. | 17,036 |
1 | Fascinating Portrait of Two Cultures | I was completely captivated by this low-key indie about Perry Williams, a gay black college student navigating his various relationships and forging his own identity as an artist, an African-American, a homosexual and a man. After being thrown out by his parents, landing his first group show and embarking on a doomed sexual relationship with a (straight, white) friend, he meets Richard Bruce Nugent, a destitute elderly man who turns out to have been a central figure in the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920's. Nugent's fascinating story is told in B&W flashback sequences juxtaposed against the various tribulations faced by Perry in the present day. Beautifully acted (particularly Roger Robinson's Nugent) and sensitively written. Refreshing to find a film that gives equal time to two different minority groups, highlighting the similarities in the issues they face. Plus, Anthony Mackie's doe-eyed Perry is utterly radiant. | 46,383 |
0 | entertaining plot; lame prose | If you're looking for a fluffy romance novel, this is a good book for you: there's even the added benefit of feeling you're getting educated in another culture. The plot moves quickly and the story is absorbing.If, however, you're looking for good literature, I have to say that Geisha falls very short. Mr. Golden's prose is awkward and cliched. His style is to pummel you with one cliched metaphor after another. In fact, if you consider yourself a connoisseur of good prose, you might have a hard time making it through the story.Overall, fun story, miserable read. | 22,696 |
0 | What's for ? | Fi :( Nothing new was added to old known tunes, nothing new was created. It is pitty. Expecially after brilliant "Standing Stone". Sir Paul likes to play with symphony orchestra ? Let him do it. But he is able to do it much better. | 40,113 |
1 | Still on top of their game | Although it's different from their revolutionary and classic albums of the past ("It takes a Nation...", "Fear of a...", "Yo, Bum...") this album is as entertaining and engaging. The lyrics are honest and brutal and continue the conscious black man theme that has been part of their groups unique appeal. They come across as older, wiser rappers covering the current scene of hip-hop, politics, and current events.This is a perfect snapshot of how they see the world and what's on their mind unencumbered by the need to "appeal" to the masses (whatever the media means by that).Although I don't agree with everything PE stands for, I respect their opinions and enjoy their art. | 10,339 |
0 | Creepy and Disturbing and Utterly Overrated | This is my all time LEAST favorite children's book. The story opens sweetly but progresses into a weird stalking scenario, coupled with illustrations that project a sense of obsession and maniacal behavior and expressions. Expressing parental love is both touching and right, but this treatment of it is simply neither of those things. | 14,803 |
1 | Deceived Mormons | This book is an excellent compilation from a former LDS who by the grace of God saw the truth and realized the god of Mormanism is just a man and ... a god without eyes to see and ears to hear...Aside from that, I find that the most of the reviews here are by Mormons who really can only attack this book by attacking the author personally and are not able to attack the material itself. Typical of these folk who are under the bondage to the enemy through the 'burning in the bosom' witness of the False Holy Spirit (aka the great deceiver, Satan) We shouldn't attack Mormons any more than we should attack a blind man who stumbles into the lanes of fierce traffic... instead we should rescue them if their free agency allows them to be rescued. Otherwise they will no doubt spend eternity with their glorified deceiver god(s). | 45,481 |
0 | Shoe horn | It is a very long horn, but when I was trying to use it putting a shoe on a bare foot, it got bent, I was very dissapointed about it. I contacted the seller and they immediately sent us a new one. Be very careful when you use it with bare feet, the rest it is a very useful item. Now I use it very careful. | 27,919 |
0 | Terrible | I thought all the great things everybody said on Amazon meant this was an awesome book. I was so wrong. It has lots of mistakes and the story isn't even very good. | 35,608 |
0 | More is LESS | To say I'm disappointed is an understatement, yet with each listen of "More" in my car, I realize how true it is. This CD is completely unnecessary, and utterly forgettable. The only tracks worthwhile are tracks 5 and 12 - the rest? Forget about it! Nothing is terribly catchy or memorable - 60 min. of filler! | 5,505 |
1 | Very nice! | Got these after a good review by the New York Times. Nice soft over-the-ear phones go a long way to naturally cancel outside noise. The noise cancellation feature works well enough, but I was expecting something a little better overall for the quality of the sound. Still, not really disappointed, and glad I saved lots of $ over other brands. | 18,491 |
1 | Mulisch great but falls short of heaven | A wonderful writer (I really like him!), but the ending -- for want of a better word -- failed. | 24,664 |
0 | Why we got these terrible reviews? | The former reviews are simple terrible. I suppose that they were'made' by samsung as well? | 12,045 |
1 | I bought this on clearance at Eckerd Drugs in 1981 for 99 cents!! | Back in high school I was into Foreigner, Boston, etc...Still love those Groups..but I was also into alternative music and use to buy the clearance cassettes as the drug store....this was one of them and I was blow away when I first heard this...I still have the 99 cents ticket on the cassette.....This way be one of the best albums ever....This is in line with Pink Floyd, etc...Way ahead of its time.. BTW I was never a fan of ASIA and when I heard Asia I said boy that vocal sounds like familiar! | 47,682 |
0 | Not an Urban rebounder workout | Why oh why, when I plugged in Urban Rebounding CD did I wind up with a DANCE CD? because the author is JB Berns? Why is it labeled REBOUNDER when you don't even use a rebounder? It's dance moves; very misleading. PS/SO - I ordered Urban Rebounding System Compilation #1.....but that's not a workout either so why the description includes COMPILATION? It is confusing because it's just an introduction to moves and a warmup. So I'm on to finding the correct description of a CD that will give me a basic workout on a trampoline. | 8,043 |
1 | Great CD | If you like music with a little bit more of the edge than most so far, than you need this CD. I tend to find myself skipping tracks on CDs, and buying CDs for one or two songs. On this however, I bought it for the great content beyond the main two singles on it. It's a great CD and if you would like a new CD, stop reading this review and BUY IT! | 38,439 |
0 | DO NOT BUY THIS FROM AMAZON.COM! | I ORDERED THIS SOFTWARE FROM AMAZON ON JULY 6TH -1) FIRST SHIPPMENT DID NOT HAVE A CD-ROM IN IT (NO SOFTWARE), I RETURNED THE SOFTWARE (AS INSTRUCTED) FOR A REPLACEMENT.2) SECOND SHIPPMENT (REPLACEMENT FOR THE FIRST) DID NOT HAVE THE CD-ROM IN IT EITHER (STILL NO SOFTWARE), WHEN I WENT THROUGH THE PROCESS TO REQUEST A REPLACEMENT - THEY SENT ME AN EMAIL:"I am sorry that your replacement shipment was also problematic.As it seems that the problem with this item is more widespread thanwe originally thought, we are not able to send another replacement.We will investigate and remedy the situation with the item; however,I cannot guarantee when the error may be fixed."I STILL DO NOT HAVE A RESOLUTION TO THIS! | 29,851 |
0 | NEW MODEL IS BAD - Please Read | Two years ago we bought the diaper champ because we thought it looked like it would keep the odor down and didn't require refills - and we loved it. After two years it had absorbed enough odor that we wanted to replace it so we bought a new one. They changed their design and their "new and improved" diaper champ stinks the whole house up after less than a month!Stay away from this - they've ruined their own product! | 27,428 |
0 | Nausea with vitamin | I recently purchased the One a Day for Women based on the quality repuation of the product and the added benfits for women; however, I wish I had stayed with the generic store general vitamins. On ALL occasions after taking the vitamin (after eating) I became extrememly nauseous! Luckily, the feeling passed within a couple of hours. Needless to say, I stopped taking them. After going online to see if anyone was having similar problems, I found many reviewers on this site with the same complaint about the One a Day Weight Loss formula. Could it be something (like a binding agent) used in all of the brands manufactured by Bayer HealthCare? So, if you have a sensitive stomach, I would recommend staying away from these... | 32,724 |
0 | One of the worst instructional DVD's I have ever seen!!! | This isn't just bad, it's in poor taste. You feel like you are a little puppy dog sitting in front of some supreme "devil worshipping" freak who is trying to brain wash you. You never see his face as it is shrouded in a cloak as the smoke and fake fire torches and gargoyle statues set a dark mood before you. I thought that it was just a joke before I opened the DVD and that they would play this up for only the first couple of minutes on the DVD, but to my disappointment, the entire production is done in this theme. Have at it you "devil worshipping" types. But in my home, this will not be played again. There are other more effective ways to teach scales and modes. I agree with the previous reviewer in that this has very little to show you in terms of learning scales and modes on the guitar. What little there is doesn't even come into play until the last couple of chapters on the DVD...Sorry Wizard, you won't be getting any more of my money!!! | 43,528 |
0 | You get what you pay for! | I agree with G. Ryder's review. Although somewhat easy to assemble (even with directions in German!), the wheels were poorly designed. I think it does hold very small TVs (probably under 20 inches) and a single VCR adequately - nothing has tipped over yet. I was also somewhat concerned about the slightly sharp edges of the chrome, but put tape over it to avoid cuts. I wouldn't recommend it, but too much of a hassle to return it. | 41,514 |
1 | weber 9600 Char-Basket Charcoal fuel holders | This is wonderful for indirect grilling like chicken or any long cooking item. I like them, however I bought them from Ewins through AmazonThey were quick with the service in less than two days I recieved them.Ewins did excellent Service, record time delivery in great shape.This is a great product. | 48,497 |
0 | lexmark ink combo | Have not yet used the color cartridge; however, my printer will not align properly after inserting the new??? black cartridge. I get a message to remove the tape ( which I had already done). I can print, but the result is very light. I am wondering if this was truly a new pack or a refill? | 26,878 |
1 | polo | You sent the wrong bottle. I distinctly ordered the pour bottle. and that is what you have displayed as my order. You did NOT send the pour bottle. You sent the spray bottle. I do not want the spray bottle. I want the pour bottle. I will not be buying any more cologne from you unless you make it right. | 20,246 |
1 | Review of Walking through Revelation | This book is well researched and writen. I like the anecdots that give spiritual insight into everyday events. It shows a fresh view of what Revelation means to us today. Instead of talking about the future endtimes, the book helps me understand more about God and Satan. Walking through Revelation gives practical ways to live a Christian life and ways to pray. This is a good commenatary on Revelation. It challenged my thinking and cleared up some of the mysteries in the book of Revelation. | 48,942 |
1 | DVD ? | This movie is a super flick. Dreyfuss at his best in my opinion. I wonder when they will put it on DVD ? | 4,140 |
0 | Do not get this headset | I am a professional online therapist and I do phone consultations all day. I have to have two things, a good phone and a good pair of headsets. I have been through so many it would make your head spin! I recommend AT&T's headset, which I found at my local Target store. This pair had very poor sound quality... and I heard a slight echo of my own voice when speaking of them. Not something I would reccomend. Good luck! | 4,509 |
0 | Cat litter box | It's huge and hard to rock without the top falling off. The top never closed properly either, nor did it fit tightly | 41,432 |
0 | Complete fluff with a lot of religious nonsense | I picked up this book since I was sick of Suze Orman telling everyone what a moron they are with money. I had not heard of Dave Ramsey. Boy, I wish I had stuck with Suze, at least she leaves God out of it.The book is complete fluff. It does not contain any real advice. For example, he will say, "Don't lease a car." Then never really give you any pointers on how to get out of an existing lease. However, if you are motivated by stories of unicorns and paved gold streets in heaven with no real roadmap to get there, read on.The first step in my Total Money Makeover will be to sell this book.At least his website does not accept credit cards and he follows what he preaches. | 44,585 |
1 | Not easy-listening | It was easy to misremember this as a lightweight, poppy effort by the Banshees. I'm glad I listened to it again after 15 years and proved myself wrong. Although the tracks here are more straightforwardly songlike in structure and sound than the stuff on some previous Banshees albums, the multilayered compositions and sensitive, clever lyrics are as high-quality as any of their really classic work. This is a great album. | 5,212 |
1 | nice smell | i don't know much about detoxification other than what you hear about the stars on tv but she said it was an interesting and pleasant experience. | 27,129 |
0 | Pompous Overkill | A pompous, slow-moving, supernatural melodrama with a little comic relief from the new age messiah, Jeza. Incredibly verbose and pointless, pathetically written, and cornball. What little action in it grinds to a halt when Jeza gives one of her frequent stump speeches for the Equal Rights Amendment. Seems to glory in giving Catholics a gratuitous bloody nose as much as it loves to punish a reader with endless, convoluted prose. Honestly, only if you're desperate. | 26,716 |
0 | Really Dislike | I can honestly say that this is the first book I have ever really disliked, and I have been an avid reader of all types of books for decades. I honestly gave it a chance even though I wanted to stop reading it about 1/3 of the way through. Having never ever not finished a book, I labored on. It was full of boring descriptions and antics and none of the characters had any substance. When I did get to the end I asked myself, "What was the plot?" | 23,344 |
1 | Good watch | This is a good watch. It is small enough for a child or big enough for a small female. I ended up returning it because of the color, but got another one. | 22,854 |
