An Unexpected Pleasant Surprise! When Amazon sent me an e-mail recommending this CD, I was at first very skeptical. I've never been a Peter Frampton fan. I always thought he was a competent guitarist, but his music never grabbed me enough to buy his stuff.As I scanned over the list of guest musicians who featured on "...

A masterpiece This novel by James Cooper turned out surprisingly well. There are only two downfalls to this novel. The first is that I watched the movie. I kept expecting what happened in the movie to happen in the novel. I have to tell you, the book is much different from the movie, and the book is better. The only o...

His views on the status of the middle class give us a lot to ponder as we look towards our nation's future.Nick ...

I still prefer the book This is indeed a beautiful film, with scenic locations and a brilliant cast. I actually did like the movie a lot (though I was often surprised by their choice of actors). However, I'm left with a small dilemma. Having read the book, I find the ending and character deleting disappointing--I beli...

Re-read it..... What can you say about a 50-year-old classic such as this, nothing but FANTASTIC and lots of lessons learned about integrity and respect.I remember reading it in high school, but appreciate it more as an adult...the relationships between the characters, their thoughts and morals, and the life style of ...

Ranks with "Appetite For Destruction" as... the most overrated album of all time. Cobain spoke to many, but not me. I'd heard all before, and done by better, with real heart and a sense of humor, in the form of Paul Westerberg. Let's face it, Nirvana was the lucky band at the right time. College radio and alternative ...

Moving, Empathetic Memoir Webber's portrait of New York in the 1950s and 60s is full of vivid description. He captures the sounds and smells of his neighborhood and, more importantly, draws his characters with an empathetic brush. Yet the book is not just an elegy to a time past. Dr Webber deals deftly and incisevely ...

This book was such a drag What a waste of time. I seriously cannot figure out how this book was an Oprah book club pick. The characters where unlikeable to me. I didn't relate or sympathize with one of them. I didn't feel that there was a true story with a conclusion or point of any kind. It was down right strange. I ...

Lee Jeans I agree that these were a lighter weight than I expected but I also find them very comfortable. If you are expecting a heavy jean then you will be dissapointed. They are actually great for a warm weather climate (Florida and GA) where you want the look of jeans but don't want the bulk.

so so I used both this wax and the quick spray wax by Meguiar and I'd say the spray wax works just as good and is a whole lot easier. But this type of wax, you get many more uses than a spray liquid wax. So if you don't mind the effort, this will last longer.
