1 | Great for people going to Russia, not a student's guide... | This guide is quite comprehensive. It starts off with the things you will need to know when you first go to Russia, like the alphabet, dealing with customs officials, meeting people and asking for directions, before moving on to other areas. Quite logical, and includes grammatical notes and various common coloquial expressions. Not so much for people studying in other courses as travellers who want to learn the langugae at their own pace while in a Russian-speaking country. But you really need the tape! | 3,682 |
1 | Nice Surprise | I own a couple of M.J's early solo recordings, and of course who didn't love The Jackson 5. I was recommended this DVD and got to borrow it from the Library. I enjoyed it as I had never seen MJ in concert. He was a charismatic performer in the league of Mick Jagger and James Brown.I watched the DVD with the subtitles on because even though I knew MJ was a fantastic singer, I could never understand his lyrics. Oh My God they have got to be some of the worst lyrics I've ever heard! Not GENIUS material. He did allot of repeating a certain phrase over and over. "Dance in the Round" "Annie Annie Annie" . I never listened to him after he got way crazy with the plastic surgeries and other exploits. He was such a good looking guy. He really did not want to look like Papa Joe.Rest In Peace Michael, if you are really dead. | 11,877 |
1 | He finally made a Greatest Hits! | This album is, plain and simple, some of Phil Collins' greatest songs. What really makes this CD worth it is the studio version of "Easy Lover" which was only ever on a very obscure album (at least I've never heard of it!) called "Chinese Wall." Although there are some songs on the album "But Seriously..." that I liked more than some of the ones on this one, I still loved more than two-thirds of the songs on here. A must have for all Phil Collins fans. | 34,033 |
1 | Outstanding | Several things send this complete set to the head of the class. First, Claude Frank plays these sonatas with vitality and taste, and - above all - consistency. There is no weak link here. This is a strong, cohesive overview of the 32. Second, the original LPs were a disaster, so having them on CD is a blessing in its own right. Tied to this, lastly, is the remastering job. These sound dynamite for late 1960s recordings. Lots of warmth in the piano, both in the playing AND the recording. For sound, I compared this to the Brendel digital set. I think this sounds better, both on my Bose home stereo and in my car. For about $40, this set is a steal for collectors as well as being a great starter set for the Beethoven sonata neophyte. | 31,622 |
0 | Terrible band - ZERO stars would be accurate | If you are over the age of 10 years old and enjoy this, you should be executed. I heard this CD when it first came out. It was a joke back then and it is a joke now.Music for the mindlessThis isn't metal, its not close to metal.... its CRAP ! | 25,980 |
0 | This humidifier is junk! | The only reason why I rated this with one star is because mine did not leak at all. However, upon first using this humudifier, it sounded like a train coming through my son's bedroom. I called the Kaz company and she asked me to put the phone up to the humidifier so she could hear it. She identified that the pickup tube was bent and that when they manufacture the units, this happens frequently ( then why do they sell defective units?) She sent me a new part for it and it worked fine the next day. When I stored it for 5 months and got it back out today when my son got sick, it was loud again just like before! I intend to throw it out! | 42,400 |
1 | Great casual watch...good semi-dress watch. | I bought this watch for my husband on father's day. It looks really nice - not too big like a lot of watches on the market today. The canvas strap brings down the fanciness of the watch. He can pull of wearing it to work, but probably wouldn't wear it to an important meeting. It's been working very well, so I suppose the solar aspect is functional. I'd definitely buy another Citizen watch. | 44,040 |
1 | Re Garden Mosaics | Have only just got this book. Took a long time to get here to Oz. Love what I have seen so far, and have gotten some fabulous ideas out of it. Love the pictures in it and will soon be trying some out for myself. | 10,629 |
1 | Canon Elura Digital Camcorder | Overall the camera is fine. The only complaint, which I had already heard about going into purchasing, was the fact that the images can look dark when shooting inside, even with the light on. The camera would be perfect if the lighting was better or you could add a light. The functions are great and easy to use and undersatnd, especially if you have used other Canon digital cameras before. It is good buy for my first camcorder. I would recommend this camera to others. | 33,444 |
1 | Nice crate, pretty much what I expected | This crate is big and sturdy. I already have one for my other dog and ordered this on online and had it shipped to a friends house. She put it together for me. It doesn't latch great, I've always got to mess with it to get it to catch just right, but once it does it works fine. These crates are sturdy and strong. I bought this specific brand and style on the recommendation of my dogs trainer. It's all she uses and what she suggests all of her clients use. I have a very big strong pit bull who has destroyed other crates. This crate doesn't budge when he gets a excited or wants out and that's saying a lot. | 10,742 |
0 | Downloading problems... | I would love watching the old MST movies if my ipod didn't buffer every few minutes. I won't sign up for Amazon Prime now that I know what I'd have to deal with. I'm disappointed. | 3,375 |
0 | Read Pratchett and Adams instead | I very much wanted to enjoy this novel, but it just did not live up to my expectations. The heroine's plucky demeanor is mildly entertaining, but most of the plot devices seem to have been culled from two masters of literary sci fi/fantasy: Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett. After struggling mightily to finish this book, I yearned for the energy and creativity of Soul Music and Thief of Time. | 11,214 |
0 | NOT dishwasher safe | I purchased this can opener because it was well rated and looked like something my husband would enjoy. On the Amazon website it clearly states that it is dishwasher safe. However, the packaging specifically states that it should be hand washed and to not put it in the dishwasher. If I had known that it was hand wash I would not have purchased three of these. | 23,506 |
1 | Ouran H.S. the complete series DVDs | Both of my girls love it. Again, I can't remember which one ordered it with her Christmas money, I think it was my 12 year old. It's a cute anime series from what I have seen of it. | 1,982 |
1 | Concluding the 'Dragon'trilogy... | Sweden's Therion comprise Christopher Johnsson on guitars,Kristian Niemann-guitars,Sami Karpinen-drums,and Johan Niemann on bass.Their approach to metal,even though follows the recent trend of mixing orchestral passages with standard metal fare is unique:they actually use full orchestras,choirs,and do away with traditional vocals creating intense mythical,romantic,and ultimately stunning sonic landscapes,as this 1997 effort testifies.'Vovin'is a very welcome breath of fresh air for the genre. | 10,329 |
0 | Wayyy overpriced | This should be .99 cent for Kindle edition. It's more like an informative brochure that's how short it is. Maybe the inflated price is because it's a kids book with a few stick like cartoons? | 42,090 |
1 | A Standout Novel | Wow! Always by Timm McCann is a delightful read that consists of a unique story about an African-American man who seeks to be the first black president of the U.S. The story also goes back and forth with memories from the two loves of his life; his wife, Leslie and, Cheryl, a woman he has loved and never forgotten. The writing style in Always makes it a standout novel; Timm does a fine job writing with sensitivity, detail, intelligence, humor, plot twists, and poetic insight.The writer must be commended for taking a risk in composing a story that goes beyond the standard relationship tale. In my book, the risk was well worth it and, as such, Always comes highly recommended. | 48,334 |
0 | Negative Dream Interpretations | I was so disappointed in this book. Every single symbol I looked up was a very negative and pessimistic symbol. Even though he has a lot of symbols, I have found other dream books are much more thorough and in line with what I think my dreams mean. I am sorry I bought this book | 21,687 |
1 | Catholicism in the U.S.A. | Peter Steinfels is a 'New York Times' columnist and in this book he analyzes the major institutional challenges facing American Catholicism in the twenty-first century. He focuses on Church leadership, priest sex-abuse scandals, contrasting visions and gender issues. He maintains that the Church is at a crossroads, poised "on the verge of an irreversible decline or a thoroughgoing transformation" and offers recommendations for action. | 3,582 |
1 | Another satisfied user. | I bought the turntable last month since I decided to get back into playing vinyl LP's since used LP's are so cheap. I like being able to read the liner notes without using a magnifying glass. :-PI have a Radio Shack 50 watt per channel integrated amplifier with a phono input and a ground screw. I just put the turntable together, plugged it in and connected the ground wire. It works like a charm! Sounds great and plays all my records without a hitch (or skip).I read that the cartridge that came with it has a conicle needle and a cartidge upgrade would help so I got a Audio-Technica AT311EP replacement cartridge and put it on the turntable. No problems whatsoever.I'm happy and have been adding to my vinyl LP collection ever since. | 1,787 |
1 | Touching | I'm not sure exactly what to say about this one. It's a super short, little book that is filled with some heavy material. I read it in less than an hour, but I will be thinking about it for a long time to come.It's written from the perspective of a smart, funny boy...that happens to have cerebral palsy. The author gives you a glimpse into the 'what if'. What if those we see as 'retarded' are fully developed people, trapped in a body that won't cooperate? What if they are misunderstood by everyone they know? Invisible and forgotten, just wanting to be loved and express their own love.Although this boy had plenty of reasons to complain and to even hate his life, he doesn't. He loves his family, takes pleasure in the small things, accepts the way he lives his life, and forgives people for treating him different.A small glimpse into the confusion and conflict that parents of special needs children face daily. The boundless love that a parent has for their child, no matter the outer packaging. | 7,417 |
0 | too much like a perfume | I was expecting more of an essential oil, but it actually smells more like a perfume and not as earthy as I wanted. I wouldn't buy it again. I'll find a 100% essential oil instead. | 32,862 |
1 | works great, better than many other at this price level | It works great as a web cam. However its microphone worse de conversation quality and so I need to take the camera out to solve the probleme. But I am not sure if this pattern always happen, because I depend on the feedback from the conversation partner. One weakeness of the software is that it is not able to make movies, but pictures is possible.The botton line is: it`s small, works well with the computer and the image has a good quality. | 17,693 |
0 | Downright depressing! Not my type. | I REALLY GOT BORED AND DEPRESSED BY THIS ONE. YOU'D THINK THAT GIFF JACOBS JUST GETTING OUT OF THE SLAMMER AND HUNTING THE GUYS THAT FRAMED HIM SOUNDS GOOD. UNFORTUNATELY, THERE'S JUST SOME ELEMENT OF EXCITEMENT (NOT DANGER) MISSING FROM THE STORY. ALSO, THE LOVE HE AND ROXIE LOWELL FELT WAS REALLY PAINFUL. | 637 |
0 | A Nutcracker's Horror! | The movie started out magic and beautiful as one should rightly expect. I loved Nathan Lane's character. The the Rat scenes were so horrible and scary, my almost 10 and almost 12 yr olds begged me to turn it off and then had nightmares. Most of the scenes were depressing. It is a wee bit redeeming in the end, but the horror of it all negates any value to this film.Not a film for children and yet not sure why any adult would bother. Don't waste ant precious resources ( time nor $) on this film. | 43,067 |
0 | gloves for husband | I ordered this pair of gloves for my husband who's size is 2X. The gloves were nice but he was not happy with the them as they did not cover his wrists. I did not read the product discription close enough. The gloves were for law enforcement. Which they may be good for but I was looking for a pair of dress gloves for my husband. | 20,782 |
1 | Great Mount | The mount arrived sooner than expected and looks very classy, is solid and assembled very easily . The only down comment is on a 32" screen the horizontal mounting bars stick out about an inch on either side. Not a big deal unless you want them completely hidden behind the TV. | 39,146 |
1 | Awesome show | So Notorious is hilarious! The only problem I had was that I didn't want it to end!!!!!Tori Spelling is so funny. Loni Anderson is perfect for the role of Candy Spelling and guest appearances by Farrah and Whoopi are a wonderful bonus! I am so happy to add So Notorious to my DVD collection. | 14,145 |
1 | A story with moral substance | I am very picky about what I read but thoroughly enjoyed this book. It is captivating to a very broad audience because of its relevance. Throughout its humorous, entertaining, yet dramatic story line it reminds us of important truths about family relationships, dealing with life's challenges, and faith. It reminds us of what is most important in life and motivates us to live so we have no regrets. I enjoyed the warm, interesting writing style and definitely recommend reading this small literary masterpiece. | 39,641 |
1 | Nice diversion, a "feel good" tale of second-chance love... | This is no masterpiece you will need to own or to read a second time, but it is worth reading once if you are a romantic at heart, or are curious about what a cross-country train trip is like these days. Tom and Eleanor are the main characters, lovers who broke up several years before the book opens, and who are reunited (to the astonishment of each) on an Amtrak adventure. There are fascinating details about how the passenger train crews do their jobs, and how train travel, usually safe, can have its perils. Many of the secondary characters are delightful. The novel ends with a couple of surprises I did not see coming, which is always nice. | 36,254 |
0 | Audio issues | I had a strange experience with this dvd. The first couple of times I played this disc it looked and sounded amazing. I have a new Toshiba 3rd generation HD-DVD player and Optoma HD80 1080p projector. Now, I cannot get any audio to play from this disc and have returned it as defective. In case you are wondering, yes I am aware their is a DTS vs PCM audio setting in the disc menu. Weird! Too bad, it sounded good when it worked. | 31,549 |
1 | Alright, but I suggest Memorex | These are good quality cds, but i think that you should get Memorex. Memorex is a better quality of cd, and they burn bery well. But if your looking for a good deal, than this is it!! | 31,381 |
1 | I can't wait to go to sleep! | Amazing book! I can't wait to go to sleep and dream now! This really has some interesting view points. It's different but WOW! | 27,795 |
1 | Great Album! | Thoroughly enjoyed this entire album! From the slow "Open My Eyes" to the hard-hitting "Porno Star," these songs calm me or get my blood pumping, depending! | 22,922 |
1 | A GOOD CHICANO MOVIE | I ENJOYED THE MOVIE THOROUHLY.WOULD RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE ESPECIALLY CHICANOS WHO CAN RELATE.MAKES ME WANT TO SEE THE MUSICAL. | 8,075 |
0 | Poorly written | What a disappointment this was!!! The story goes on and on, but doesn't go anywhere. The worst I've read. Waste of my money! | 4,739 |
0 | Ambiguously cool | 2 1/2Muggs excels at grimy, beat-driven atmospherics, though struggles to fill up all the open space he creates with little more than airy, semi-formless vocalizations. | 28,945 |
0 | Unreliable Product | Got one and it was working fine until after a couple of weeks it failed to respond. Tried reformatting but the picture from the Camera became corrupt and unusable. Computer could not read or format it and it ended up in the trash bin. | 24,792 |
1 | Worth the Work | My two boys (6 & 2) love this toy. I don't know how much this retailed for brand new, but for what we paid for it (unknowingly) broken at a second hand shop, I feel it was a good value... 1) The 3 speed is precise 2) spin outs 3) cars fly off - all these things add excitement to this toy. My husband had to solder some pieces but now it works like a charm. If kids like cars or cars movie in general, go for it. | 9,495 |
0 | It ain't worth your money and time | Civ3 is a defective beta quality game with bugs and performance problems. I love all the other Civ games including alpha centouri. Playing Civ 3 in comparison is no FUN and not EXCITING, but a lot of boring WORK like cleaning up pollutions. You cannot get emmotionally involved with the play as you would with Civ2, 'cause Inforgrame took out the talking high council and the wonder video clips. Because of the lack of the human touch you feel you are not playing against any other civilizations.The only good things in Civ 3, the concepts of culture, the civ-specific abilities and the resources, are overwhelmed by the flaws of this half-baked product. | 23,901 |
0 | Great for Overview; Bad for Small Details | Preparing for a trip to Mallorca, I borrowed a German map from a neighbor. It included topographical detail, hiking paths, and residential clusters; so I expected the same from my Globetrotter map. Alas, all those important details were missing. It looks good, however, for driving, and has a good overview of cities and towns, with detailed street maps. It also shows beaches in yellow, while the German map only named them. So, I'm taking both maps! | 38,109 |
0 | First Book | This was my first book on Kindle and it wasn't what I expected. Knowing that it had already been made into a movie, I just couldn't imagine them bringing it to life as some parts were gross | 5,778 |
1 | Not to Quiet on the Western Front | All Quiet on the Western front is about a German boy named Paul Baumer. Paul Baumer and his friends are enlisted in the german Army in World War 1. They are enthusiastic about becoming soldiers but after the first bombardment in the trenches they snap. The war lasts for years but Paul still asks himself the same question: why are all my friends getting shot around me but I am still alive? All Quiet on the Western Front describes the physical and psychological drain a war has on a person. This book is not for people who do not like the horrors of war | 10,410 |
1 | Death and Return of Superman | I liked this game because of the story it's based on. The Death and Return of Superman is probably one of the greatest stories ever told by DC Comics. Alongside Frank Miller's "The Dark Knight Returns" and "Tales of the Spectre" I enjoyed the story. Then, they decided to make a video game for it in 1994. The fighting in the game can be very difficult. Especially when you fight Doomsday in the 2nd level. But, you are able to play as the original Superman, Steel, Superboy, the Eradicator, and the Cyborg along different levels. I reccomend this game to rabid S-man fans. 4 out of 5 stars. | 15,731 |
1 | very functional | I have this book in my purse and take it out to review over and over again. It's a great little book that offers lots of helpful hints about the language and culture of Japan. A great book for anyone looking to expand their language. | 4,975 |
1 | Wonderful | Fantastic quality for the price. Wonderfuly soft, and the down stuffing makes a great insulator. The only downfall is that it's dry clean only. | 10,015 |
0 | All he gets is one mic.. | This CD is a snoozefest..and Zone Out is in top 10 contention for the WORST SONG EVER. Avoid this CD like the plague, and thank me later. | 4,166 |
1 | Fun, pleasant movie | Feel-good comedy that has a heartwarming ending. Clean humor and moving storyline, but Harrison Ford was just a little too stiff to give it 5 stars. | 3,537 |
1 | just got it | My plant arrived this afternoon. Healthy, if a little small, can't wait for it to bloom. I am hoping it will be happy on my balcony with me. | 41,141 |
1 | better than part 1 | Well, if you have seen part one and hated it. Check this one out. I think even the directors thought part one was pretty bad. This one has almost the same storyline, but the acting is alot better (still not Emmy quality, by far) the gore is pretty up there (the opening killing scene was pretty gorey), lotts of blood, some full nudity, and the killer looks a tad bit more intimidating.On this one they actually tell you why Trevor is killing, who he is, etc. Part one had no indications who this guy was and why he was there... That for me took alot out of the movie.If you are a fan of slasher films, even if they are cheesey.. then watch this. | 38,566 |
1 | Ethnicity | The sound is different then his previous albums. It really caught my attention because it was different and made me really want to pay more attention to it and listen. It is upbeat but relaxing. | 10,064 |
0 | cap breaks, warranty replacement service brutal | I can reiterate other comments that the cap design is too cheap and flimsy and will break when on a metal key ring. I found this out back in July 2005 and sent in a warranty replacement form off the Memorex website. Several phone calls, emails, and promises later, I now have a replacement in January 2006. Obviously Memorex has acknowleged the flaws in this design and changed it for the followon product. | 31,039 |
0 | Hate this Vac! | Bought this vac at Kohls for my mothers day gift, and what a disappointment! I too thought after the first use that it was great, but now...after replacing 2 belts and spitting dirt, clogs easily and I am hating bagless. Now my vaccuum will make the room smell like smoke and then like crap. Don't waste your money... I am now looking to see what is recommended and there is another Eureka 4870MZ, but now I am a little skeptical. Thoughts?KazFresno CA | 8,432 |
0 | Why'd you do it to us Mos?????!! | I LIKED Electric Circus. I ENJOY andre 2000. I say that to say this: I can appreciate good music that isn't 'run-of-the-mill' . This album was trash. It sounds like he just caught up with a bunch of 'hip' people and said, "Lets jam in my basement!" Then got so caught up in the emotion of the whole ordeal that he confused nostalgia with quality HipHop and decided he needed to get that on wax.I'm upset and disappointed, but I'm not disgusted - hey- I needed another coaster.P.S. If you want disgusted- check out LL's latest. | 14,372 |
1 | Back pack | My daughter in 6th grade loves this pack pack. It is roomy enough for all her books and other stuff. | 40,590 |
0 | Coconut - Too darn fatty and greasy | I have found the coconut to be too greasy. Coconut naturally has a high fat content but this bar is too greasy. I'm going to try to keep 'em in the fridge but I doubt it will be that great. I'm going to try to give them away to my friends, so in the end I recommend not buying this flavor. | 34,896 |
0 | Not impressive | Although decorated well, the homes picutred were not dream interiors. The pictures were poor in parts and the text uninspiring. I paid too much for so little. | 38,602 |
1 | Pretty good for the price | I bought this because it was a steal for the price (~$60 at the time). Reviews looked ok compared to others and this one looked like it was in the tier above this price range.I got it home and it works pretty great. The clock gets a little off when power fluxes (happened twice in 3 weeks). If the timer doesn't go off in the morning when that happens, my coffee maybe 2 minutes late since I've got to hit the switch manually, so no a big deal so I'm not sure why everyone is complaining and rating 1-2 stars for it (unless you want the full pot to put in thermis maybe right away, then I understand.)The biggest issue is the water hole is a little small and hard to hit sometime and so water sometimes go down into the bin and sometimes around the burner. When you turn it on that water tends to hiss as it boils of off. No biggy.I'm happy so far. | 45,237 |
1 | thought provoking, entertaining, and enlightening | I really enjoyed this book!I couldn't put it down after the first page which compares Marshall, "An average North American Male" ... "plump and balding", to his caged pet bird - "Both had lived three fourths of their expected life span and had another fourth of life to go, if they were lucky".This sets the tone for the novel which is a thought provoking story written with wit and intelligence.I should note, however, this is not and it is a book about the character Marshall Hollenzer. It is really a book about people - the choices they make and/or the fate bestowed upon them - and journeys - both physical and spiritual.This novel is thought provoking, entertaining, and enlightening.I recommend buying at least two copies - this is the type of book that you will want to share with people you know. | 11,183 |
1 | not too bad, but not too good, either | I got this album, basically, as an experiment; i wanted to seewhat kind of twist the groups on this album would put to the Genesismusic i was used to. Brand X's version of "Can-Utility...", my personal all-time favorite Genesis song, really impressed me. John Ford's version of "The Carpet Crawlers" was a teriffic version of a boring song. The keyboarding in "Los Endos" was real nice, too. Rounding out a few of my other favorites: "Visions of Angels", "Cinema Show", and "Broadway Melody...". However, John Wetton's version of "Your Own Special Way" was AWFUL boring. Also, there was too much cut out of "The Giant Hogweed" and "Dancing With the Moonlit Knight"; those songs just didn't sound right. Overall, a good album to get if you have $15 burning a hole in your pocket. | 10,260 |
0 | Watch out - this is just the TV shows put together | We were very excited to order this video, thinking we would see new action. But the tape is just all of the TV shows that include the Psycho Rangers put together all in one piece. If you've watched the whole first season of PR in Space on TV, you've seen all this. Of course, it is nice to see it all in one piece and without commercials, but there is nothing new here. | 23,169 |
0 | One of the Worst cd's ever! | I heard Song 2 on the radio and I thought it was awesome so i went out and bought the cd. But when I started to listen to the other songs on the cd, I soon learned a valuable lesson: never hear one song and buy the cd. I haven't even listened to the whole thing because its just so bad. I really can't figure out how anyone could like this .... It really does boggle my mind. | 10,113 |
0 | Reviews and research looked promising. | Arrival was fast. Case looks protective. What I didn't like was the size. It's huge. I didn't like the tripod as I bird and needed one to view from standing position not lying on the ground. Just dn't fit my needs. As far as quality of scope, didn't spend time with it, the size overwhelmed me. As far as returning no hassle except fit the 60 day credit - seemed excessively long. | 43,601 |
1 | Perfect replacement for our bulb-style mini maglite | Way brighter than our cheap chinese 3-bulb LED flashlight. Same size as our AA bulb-style maglite, but twice as bright.The best part is the focused beam. For working in tight spots, this is perfect! | 4,286 |
0 | Ugh! | Perry makes a federal case out of every little detail of the language. Even simple aspects look complicated and difficult to follow once he's done with them. Stay away. | 14,877 |
1 | BRILLANT....A MUST READ SUPREME COURT BOOK | Everyone should read this book no matter where you stand politicially.Our CONSTITUTION must be upheld for our GREAT NATION TO REMAIN FREE. Our Founding Fathers put together the Constitution to protect US from Government. This book shows that the SUPREME COURT JUSTICES choosen should ALL FOLLOW the Constitution and NOT TRY TO READ SOMETHING in it that is not there. While most of the public's attention focuses on abortion and gay rights, Mr. Levin shows how many other areas of our basic constitutional law have been corrupted by judges willing to supplant the intentions of the framers with their own moral predilections.Americans need to read this book ......READ YOUR CONSTITUTION with an honest, clear vision of our FREEDOMS. | 25,209 |
0 | Understandable but be warned it's 10 YEARS OLD! | I bought this book for my Kindle today and was enjoying it until I tried to access the first example web site it pointed out. The URL doesn't work, and there's no errata published for it.That was when I finally noticed THIS BOOK WAS PUBLISHED IN 2002, nearly 10 years old.I should have done a better job of due diligence, but really either the book should be updated so the examples work or it should be withdrawn.Just to be clear my issue is not with the age of the book-- It's that the links are stale and they (all that I tried) don't work. The information presented may still be true but there's no way to check your understanding of what you've read.Gave it a 2 star rating on the assumption that what it says is still true, a big assumption after so long. | 13,996 |
1 | Just the book we were looking for | The Oxford American Large Print Dictionary is just the book we were looking for. We are losing our eyesight and need all the helps we can get. | 8,992 |
0 | PAINFULLY BAD | If Ed Wood was still alive he couldn't even get excited about the new scenes in this film. If you are a fan of night of the living dead buy the elite dvd but stay far away from the special edition. The new scenes add nothing to the story and actually detract from it. Russo's direction in the new scenes is about as exciting and creative as a wet sponge. The new scenes are poorly written and the acting is even worse. I was really looking forward to this and was terribly disappointed. View at your own risk - stomach aches, nausea, vomiting could be the result at seeing a master piece of a horror movie butchered courtesy of Russo and friends. | 25,950 |
0 | Boring and Racist. | I found this book to repetitive. It just keeps going on and on, on how bad Web feels about the death of his 7 team mates. Also, it has harsh racist descriptions on some characters that don't really add to the story at all. It just adds to the stereotype of how life is in Annacostia, Washington DC. One such description is that of the black grandmother of the missing kid. She is described as a big black woman about the sides of a small car with big breast and lives in a house full of rat excrements. I don't recommend this book at all, but if you are a narrow minded white male, who thinks that he is at the top of the hill looking down on the rest, this book is for you. | 33,233 |
1 | FUN TOY | Bought this arcade when my daughter was 6 mos. old. She started out pushing the balls through with her hands. She watched her 18 mo. old cousin use the hammer and she caught on. She loves the lights and music and has continued to play with this toy several months later. It's good for hand and eye coordination. | 998 |
0 | I see a trend here | This is the second book I've read by Dr. Petrisko (The Fatima Prophecies) and, while interesting, I have found his writing style to be a bit sensationalistic and not very well thought out. I found this book to be a disjointed attempt to create a patchwork of content collected from multiple sources into a single logical discourse on the importance of the Eucharist in our lives. I think his approach falls short of the goal. I'd say well over a third of this book is not even Dr. Petrisko's own original content, but collections of other writers and visionaries. While it is all very interesting and thought-provoking, I think Dr. Petrisko lays out just enough information on a particular topic to get the reader interested and then leaves him hanging. | 39,843 |
1 | I can't believe it's out of print! | Simply the best wildlife conservation book around. Follow game warden Dave Hall as he works undercover among good ol' boys in Lousiana, Hell's Angels in Alaska and the mafia in New York City in an amazing, accessible (if you can find it) true story that'll be bound to raise your blood pressure over what poaching has done to our wildlife. | 43,582 |
0 | Read The Book! | This is a wonderful novel. It is one of my favorites, so I was expecting great things from this video. I don't know why, because, with the exception of To Kill a Mockingbird, the movie never measures up to the novel. This one is even worse than usual. The characters are very poorly developed, the story has been changed somewhat--and not for the better. It has none of the warmth and humor of the book. I was disgusted with my choice and wish I had the money back! | 28,778 |
0 | product quality | Video has a wide blurry line across the top causing the whole picture to vibrate and become unwatchable. | 33,953 |
0 | Manipulated information and bizarre comparisons. | Aside from deliberate distortions of well documented facts such as the case of Laurie Dann, I find it impossible to take seriously or have any respect for the opinion of a man who claims to see the genders as equal, yet feels no shame in comparing an unemployed man to a woman who has been raped. It obviously does not occur to him to compare an unemployed man to an unemployed woman, nor does he recognize the significance of rape or that this lack of recognition disproves his point. | 26,580 |
0 | The product is not as advertised. | The magic bullet has a lot of functional flaws. Well, first of all, when I called to buy the product, customer service tried to push a whole lot more expensive "additional" parts on me. For juice, this thing is pretty useless. You MIGHT be able to make juice from it's blender/filter combination. Juicing only works on very soft fruits (orange, canned pinapple). I tried make carrot apple juice and it all when to the garbage. In the infomercial, they make everything seem so easy. You will not be able to get results any close to what they've done. The bullet just liquifies everything. There's no magic in this bullet. | 23,729 |
0 | If, like a crab, I could go backward, | I would rate this even lower than 1. It appears to be designed for middle or high school audiences. There are a few howlers in it. Did you know that "The Murder of Gonzago" was "an ancient Greek drama"? Hamlet's "Get thee to a nunnery" speech is delivered in a monotone, perhaps so it will be in sync with Ophelia's responding "Oh what a noble mind." If students are supposed to be "getting" the play from visuals & acting, I promise you: they won't.Teachers: save your $20. If your students are functioning at a level no higher than this 40 minute summary, it's just not time to try Shakespeare. The main conclusion they draw is likely to be, "Boring." It's a summary that takes all of the passion & deception & violence of Hamlet, & produces nothing more than a ho-hum. | 45,794 |
0 | Very Disapointing | We run an inbound help desk and needed a QOS router as we just bought a new telephone system that can VOIP to our own private phones at remote locations. This router could NOT handle it at all! The wireless has less reach than the typical cheapie Linksys units we have come to love. Finally we boxed it up and sent it back. Got the Linksys Wireless N without external antennas and it's GREAT! Handles the QOS without fail, wireless G is awesome as we have no N units yet. Pass on this model! | 10,135 |
1 | Boundary Lines | Classic Nora Roberts! Love, intrigue, with laughter mixed in.Great read. I'm a huge Nora Roberts fan and this one doesn't't disappoint. | 9,383 |
1 | Waiting for my rocket to come.. | Jason Mraz has a hot voice....all the songs he sings have meaning....The best song in my opinion is You and I both....Cirbside profit...Buy this CD its worth it! | 40,319 |
1 | Imaginative, worth the effort | Having read this book for myself, I'm now reading it to my eight-year-old daughter. She struggles with some of the vocabulary and keeping the characters straight, but it's worth it to her for the delightful interaction between Tris, Briar, Sandry and Daja, Rosie and Lark and Niko. The magic is presented with imagination, humor and a casual acceptance; the action leaves my "kid" (she liked that reference) wide-eyed; the crafts and nature components have her mind whirling behind those big eyes. We have to work at this one a bit, and it's all the better for the effort. I look forward to the next books, and plan to try Pierce's others. | 43,064 |
0 | useless | I got this pack cause it looked very useful. but it isn't. the big flap opens for no reason and it's secured by two big buckles. it wouldn't even hold my lunch and a few books. I liked the look and the fit but it wasn't functional. | 29,198 |
1 | Warning Signs | Stephen White reveals the plot a little at a time, making you feel as if you are the pshychologist working along with Dr. Alan Gregory. Could these explosions be the work of young people or not? | 3,653 |
1 | Great Product | I bought this product in a drug store when I ran out of a more expensive department store version of this product that I've been using for years. I must say that I am very loyal to that brand. However this product is just is good as their's for less than 1/2 the price. It was a pleasant surprise to be able to get anything of quality at this price point... And I will definately be purchasing again. Love!!! | 49,507 |
0 | Don't buy this product. | In my life I have never wrote any review on any products I bought. It is my first time to do this just because this product is piece of crap. It started to fell apart just days after I assembled it. If the price was $50 I would not complain. For this price you can get something much better from IKEA, or even Walmart. | 49,229 |
1 | Lots of fun | My family really loves playing this game. First off, we don't play hot-potato style only because we kept dropping the game. Instead we split up into teams and each person on the team takes a turn doing all the phrases until time runs out then we pass it off to the next team. We keep score based on how many phrases are correctly guessed by the team vs. who is still holding the game when the timer goes off. This game is a lot of fun, but does have it's flaws. As many other reviewers have pointed out, there's no "off" switch, which would help out when traveling with it. Also, Hasbro would make a lot more money if they had a version that could be updated with new phrases (like on a memory card). After a while the phrases start to repeat.My last recommendation is to buy it at Wal-Mart for the lowest price. I have no idea why Amazon has it priced so high. | 8,462 |
1 | very good | I've recently gotten hooked on Novelas and I've got to say this was one of the better ones. Editing was good. Transition was smooth and you really didn't feel like you missed a whole lot. | 32,941 |
0 | Has to be something better available | This book is seriously out of date and is geared strictly to the person willing to rent a car to visit the sites described. All information is based on this premise with little information given about other means of transportation, tours, etc. I agree with a previous reviewer that the photos were pretty grim and the author's description of Gyumri (where I spent two weeks as a volunteer) left me wondering why I had decided to go there. Contrary to this, I found the people to be some of the most generous, pleasant and hospitable people I have the privilege of meeting. So much for Mr Holding's description of how he found the country and the people. | 22,022 |
1 | Very well done, indeed! | i have to agree with the other reviewer. it is a very well done dvd...all of her DVDs are done well. that is no surprise to me. leisa has been doing this for awhile and she knows fitness. trust this "Sexy" series to help you get in shape. | 44,914 |
1 | Chills! | I was so pleased with film, I had chills from the beginning untill the end! I can't believe how narrow minded some people can be that gave this a bad rating! I was captivated by the story line and the use of some actual facts. I did enjoy a couple other shorts but this by far gets my vote! | 18,278 |
1 | Rounders | One of the best movies I have ever seen. I watch it at least once a week and use the tutorial to learn how to play poker. | 7,432 |
0 | opcional | Este producto no lo recomiendo, al principio era bien, pero despues de unos dias empezo hacer mucho ruido, la compre para mi lapto de 17", pero es preferible usarlo para las lapto de 15" | 35,443 |
1 | Great Game | I am really enjoying this game. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good adventure game with a decent amount of humor in it. | 29,810 |
1 | Wonderful series! | The only disappointment was the lack of happenings with Anna after the first book, but her heir carried on the tradition wonderfuly! | 13,390 |
0 | Disappointed | I purchased the West Bend 53783 Cordless Water Kettle 12 months ago. For the first month the automatic shut-off worked, but after that first 30 days it hasn't worked since. If I don't catch it the kettle boils dry. My intention was to purchase this for my son's dorm room, but having used it myself for a few months I opted to purchase a different brand for him. The kettle looks great, I love that you can remove the kettle from the base to fill or pour and do not have a pesty cord dangling. However, the safety issue is a big pitfall of this product. I would not recommend purchasing this. | 18,587 |
0 | Awful... | Way too tight per measurement. Very stiff denim, not at all comfortable. I'm personally still much happier in a pair of Levi's. | 11,282 |
1 | Tiny cups of love! | I have several sizes and styles of Bodum glassware. I love them all. Yes, they are fragile and I hand wash them. Keeps your drinks hot or cold without burning or chilling your fingers and hands. | 41,180 |
1 | Irresistible Action | Moore enjoys himself with this portrait of a prickly underwater expect who takes on hijackers who've taken over a North Sea oilrig. The picture isn't dazzling, but it's lean and enjoyable, expertly helmed by Andrew McLaglen with a sold cast. Perkins also enjoys himself as the heavy. Great stuff. | 29,707 |
0 | Beware: Not "Shakespearian Drama of the Highest Quality" | I was extrememly dissatisfied with the quality of the product, 'The Plays of William Shakespeare: The Merry Wives of Windsor' on DVD . Despite the claim that this series is 'Shakespearian Drama of the Highest Quality", this DVD is an amateurish home video-translated production. The audio was unitelligible, large parts of the play were out of focus and the digital navigation was impossible to use. While none of this is the fault of Amazon, the end result is a little like selling a book with several chapters missing. I wouldn't give this product to a high school, let alone sell it for [price] to a good customer. I asked for my money back, and strongly recommended Amazon reevaluate its relationship with this company, Kultur. | 3,063 |
