terrific This book, is a personal favorite. I started to read it and could not put it down for the life of me. Mr. Steinbeck did an amazing job and has written a spectacular novella. If there were one book I could recomend to anybody, this is it. The tale of Lennie and George is one with laughter, tears(the book broug...

NOW OR NEVER RULES If you like pop rock music and you are looking for soemthing different to listen to then I highly recommend Now or Never. It is a different sound from the Backstreet Boys. This album reminds me of Bon Jovi and Bryan Adams. This album is an amazing album for a first solo album.

Did not expect it to be this good. . . I gave 5 stars for this first season of, well, surprise. Yeah, sure, graphics are 10/10, but geez, for a tv show, they're not bad.

Best Harry Potter book yet This is the best Harry Potter book yet. Really, it's amazingly good. I had tears in my eyes many times throughout the story.

Good message but poorly written, unconvincing This is the type of book that inspires Al Franken and Michael Moore.

Not a pleasant read I kind of got the existential point the author was making here about how all our lives are redundant, inauthentic cycles of meaningless events, blah blah blah.

great radio! Love this radio! We leave it in our outdoor shower. It has been through downpours and still works like a charm! All of our favorite stations come in clearly. The only issue is the weather band - we don't have good reception on that. We highly recommend it.

The 'Original' My mother started reading this to us when I was about 5 years old; we all finished it on our own before the year was out.

Lacking Plot I read this book to help my son with his book report. I'm in awe that this book won a Newbery award. It tells about some exploits of a boy and his cat, but lacks a main plot.

American Ugly "American Beauty" is a new low in American cinema.

With this in mind, they p...

Too Bad... there's absolutely no singing talent in this joke of a band. None. Is this some new hipster trend? To perceive sub-sophomoric junk that shouldn't have ever been recorded as somehow great? I can sing better than this -- and I can't sing. And the lyrics are dumb, too.
