1 | DEE DEE RAMONE - BETTER THAN EVER! | Although this album breaks no new ground, it does bring back some great memories. Memories of the early Ramones, when Dee Dee wrote his best songs. Hop Around is much better that his last album, with several excellent songs, many good ones, and only a couple of throw-aways. Dee Dee borrows many of his own riffs and son... | positive |
0 | Let's pass this one over in silence | This is an utterly poor effort by an aging hero. Dee Dee is obviously a very sloppy guitar player, he sings bad (not to speak of his wife Barbara's "vocals") and the songs.. well, they sully the memory of the Ramones' work on classical albums like "Ramones", "Leave Home" and "Rocket To Russia". Even die-hard-fans shoul... | negative |
1 | Grab This One Up | If you can find one of these units I recommend that you do so. SONY makes the definite 8mm VCR hands down. This is one of the best units I have ever seen. The picture is incredible and has to be seen. It has a much greater picture than S-VHS recorders. Only DVD pictures look better. It has a very precise flying erase h... | positive |
1 | BEST VCR SONY ever made | This 8mm Video Recorder has one of the best pictures I have ever seen. It's better than my Beta unit and my S-VHS VCR. The sound is excellent too. This unit is also great for editing. I used to shoot all my training videos for work on 8mm and edit them at home on this machine with very little loss in picture resolution... | positive |
0 | Tepid | Ugh. Makes your estomac (stomach) twist-and-turn. Halfway through this album will make you regret that you've bought this album for 14.99!!!!! Crap :-( | negative |
0 | Lousy | A truly lousy record. "wiretap scars" were in many ways briliant but something went wrong with "porcelain". The album give no memorable riffs or chorus what so ever. Each song sound alike and after a while you are really bored. A truly lousy record | negative |
0 | Well i Know Where All The Talent went After At The Drive In Broke up! | First off, my opinion comes from a musicians veiw.I began listening to At the drive in when they hit the scene in the mid 90s....i was turned on by their weird time changes and aggersive vocals. When the band broke up i was upset and i felt that the void would not be filled. When i heard Omar was fronting The mars volt... | negative |
0 | Oooofffaaah... | Saw them live with Dredg and they stunk up the joint...badly.Don't compare them to TMV...no comparsion in any manner. | negative |
0 | better luck next time | if sparta actually makes a good album i'll give all my mars volta material away. they lack any kind of creative thinking or flow in there music. they continue to try and re-hash the spirit of atdi.......zzzzzzzzzzz. not gonna happen.listen we all know mars isn't for everyone, but collectivly they are changing music,tak... | negative |
1 | 5 full-on hits | There are 5 totally rocking tracks on this disk (the last 9 are kinda generic).The good tracks are simply as good as indie rock gets: extremely catchy, stick in your brain hard rock. Great for before you surf, snowboard or skate. Based on how good these good tracks are, I'll give it my favorite album of the year award.... | positive |
1 | Awesome Music | Before I bought this album I only knew two Sparta songs. When I heard they were going to play again after 4 years of not doing so this past November 17, 2011, I bought this album. It is one of the best albums I've ever heard. I keep listening to it from beginning to end and they are even more amazing live! I have not h... | positive |
1 | Decent album, poor follow up. | I really enjoy this album, though I am disappointed that it was delivered by Sparta. The band which had a very unique release with Wiretap Scars seems to have gotten sucked into the mainstream formula of making music. No bad, but I find the sound of this album to be far more generic than their previous effort. Porcelai... | positive |
1 | Very solid follow-up to Wiretap Scars | I think Sparta have finally carved their niche with this album and proved that they can do amazing things post At The Drive-In. Amazing songs pretty much throughout, especially with "While Oceana Sleeps", Breaking The Broken", "Travel By Bloodline". The closer to the album "Splinters" is absolutely amazing. All in all ... | positive |
1 | Worth your $ | I was hesitant to buy this one, as I thought their first album was just OK, but since I knew they were talented, I rolled the dice. Once it entered my car player, it stayed there for over a week straight. (That can only happen with a great opening track, which this of course has) Great vocals, lyrics, driving rhythm se... | positive |
1 | good | this cd is awesome. tho i wont say its an improvement from wiretap, they do experiment a little. tracks 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8-10, and 14 are all good tracks IMO. but the stand outs are tensioning and while oceana sleeps. | positive |
0 | They could learn from Mars Volta | Okay....with the break up of ATDI, It is pretty obvious that all the talent went to The Mars Volta. These guys don't suck. They are just boring. They sound like every other band I have heard before that is out there making music with no uniqueness really. People think just because they can play an instrument that they ... | negative |
0 | The dregs of ATDI finally crash and burn. | Of the two bands that ATDI splintered into, it should be obvious at this point which one is actually worth listening to. The Mars Volta makes intelligent, frenetic, insane polyrythmic guitar-prog music, while Sparta have found their niche in the world of tepid, whiney radio rock.There's nothing interesting about this a... | negative |
0 | Mars Volta VS Sparta | Mars Volta wins.I could leave the review at that one line but to put it another way, 15 years from now almost no one will remember Sparta and Mars Volta will still be considered a seminal band. | negative |
0 | The title says it all... | I mean really, Howl-O-Ween? I cannot imagine someone dumb enough to name a fantasy horror this, A children's book, maybe. This book could actually take you months to read, all due to complete boredom. The story is lousy, and is not helped the writing. I can only imagine a ninth grade creative writing project turning ou... | negative |
0 | Cheap Plastic Design - Breaks Easily | I have flowen model rockets for over 40 years now, and the parachutes that Estes is making currently are an embarassment to the company! They are made of cheap plastic instead of nylon. The plastic often tears away from the cloth cords, and the cords tangle easily. Added to these problems, the chute often does not full... | negative |
0 | Item not as shown. | The item's photo is for the new Estes parachute designed to look like chutes from the 60's. The chute was solid red, not the classic checkerboard design. Returned for refund. | negative |
1 | Good Old Fashioned Sci-fi! | Loved it. Great classic SF read. Spaceships, alien cultures, interplanetary criminal gangs, mysterious sciences, and my hometown of Cedar Rapids, Iowa - all the great factors that make up the perfect science fiction adventure! | positive |
0 | Not worth it | A lot of work clearly went into this book, but not a lot of information. If you're looking for info, some of the web references are the wrong addresses, the book is about 220 pages (double spaced) with about 100 pages that are reprints of "checklists" - i.e., does your child prefer to be warm or cool when studying? The... | negative |
1 | Great combo | This is one of the best products you can buy for your N64. It combines the 2 most important/fun addons of your N64. The best thing is that you never have to remove it to switch from one to the other just hit the little switch on the front. with 4 pages holding about 110 notes its got tons of space and makes it easy to ... | positive |
1 | What a great idea! | This is a great tool for the N64. It combines two great components of the system. With four memory paks (492 notes!) and a rumble pak with two rumble settings, you can't go wrong. Save all of your games in rumble style! The only problem is that when you start games with the switch at the memory setting, usually says th... | positive |
0 | Unreliable | Be careful when ordering this product. I do not know the quality of this item because I never got it. I've waited over a month to receive it but I never did. Amazon had to cancel the purchase. Beware when you order this item that it might come late, if it comes at all. | negative |
0 | Memory Pak Failed on me .. | At first impression, I loved the HyperPak ... however - after about a week's worth of using, the memory side of the pak became corrupted and crashed on me - and the rumble side sometimes goes off on its own tangent and does whatever it wants to.The rumble, however, is still operational and a great feature - the 2x rumb... | negative |
0 | Poor Quality Product and Poor Service! | The poster arrived quickly, but it was very poor quality. It was blurry and was obviously a photo of the real thing that was then blown up on a copy machine. I emailed the supplier multiple times with no response. I called and was given instructions on how to return the poster. Sent it back, but no credit to my account... | negative |
1 | How It All Started | It had to be God's Providence. Bill Gaither and the members of the Vocal Band at that time invited a few friends and mentors to join them in the Gaither's studio to record "Where Could I Go." But "it just so happened" that the cameras kept rolling when the song was finished. What we see after that are the testimonies a... | positive |
1 | Thrilled! | We are thrilled to have received 'The Gaither Vocal Band: Homecoming' in excellent condition. This DVD is inspirational and a blessing to see/hear. I happily Ordered it secondhand through Amazon.com knowing that it would arrive in New Zealand promptly and without difficulty of any kind. We highly recommend this video c... | positive |
0 | Just for Collectors | This DVD should be labeled as "Collector's Edition". It's the first recorded by Bill Gaither and it's completely different that Homecoming as we know today. Video and audio quality is poor. It's just a group of friends singing around a piano. There are times when mic cable is in front of camera! | negative |
0 | contains polyethylene glycol | I was so surprised and upset to see polyethylene glycol listed under the 'other ingredients'. Obviously the type of people that would order this are extremely health conscious and aware individuals. I have already sent this back unopened. I will see if I can find a similar product without the chemicals. | negative |
0 | Product may be spoiled...hit or miss. | I had no issues with my initial order. The first box was 100% useable, so I went ahead and ordered two more. What a waste! Second box had 4 bad tablets...ok, not so good but I overlooked it. Last box: about one out of three effervescent tablets were spoiled, and by spoiled, I mean there was either a brown smelly and ba... | negative |
1 | flat and tone stomach!! reneemariejones@aol.com | This product is the best. I have been on it for 3 years. It takes six weeks to notice a difference.,and. 6 months to see a difference. The key to lose fat is toning; this product does helps with that! As we age our body needs protien to supply energy, and balance our homones. I take this product during the day and one ... | positive |
1 | Superb | I am really happy with the result of this product. Just follow the instruction, take it regularly. You'll be able to get the result within one week. Now I feel better refreshed, better smashed. Thanks to the company for making it available in the amazon. | positive |
1 | Lots of information | I had been looking for a book like this one for a long time and this one fills the bill. However, you're going to need a magnifying glass to read it- the print is REALLY small. I guess they had to use a small font to keep the book a reasonable size, but it induces more than a little eyestrain if you read it for more th... | positive |
0 | These are full frame. Original releases were widescreen!!! | Wake of Death and In Hell, should have been released in theaters in the U.S. Wake of Death played theaters in Europe and was a hit. In the U.S. they both could have been Van Damm's comeback films. Derailed- stinks. If your a film junkie, do not buy this triple feature. All 3 films are full screen. You really only need ... | negative |
1 | Buy this Van Damme Double pack! | Derailed-No stars! Everything in this movie really is horrible! Fights, story, music, editing, effects, etc. Do not watch this one!Wake of death-3 1/2 stars! Now this is more like it! The story telling can be a little sloppy at times but for a low budget movie this one caught me off guard. Decent Action, great acting b... | positive |
0 | Not bad except ? | I was dissapointed to find that In Hell was not on any of the disc.I thought I was getting three movies but dont know what happened? | negative |
0 | Unimpressive and unhelpful | I purchased this book to help me with ideas for homeschooling my children. This book is the longest in my collection but it is the least informative. The first 100 pages or so deride the current efforts of public schools, yet offer little advice except "turn off the television" and "read to your children". The most int... | negative |
0 | Waste of time | This book is advocating an elitist and pointless view of education. Bennett, has missed the core issues of what it means to be an educated person, especially in our every widening (global) society. Bennett advocates a people who are full of facts and "trivia" knowledge rather than pushing students to be critical thinke... | negative |
1 | A Must-Read for all Parents of Children K-8 | If you are assuming that your child's school is doing a fine job of educating your child or that your child's education is similar to the one you received, you must read Bennett's book. He carefully explains what to look for at your child's school and what your child should be learning and probably isn't learning. I re... | positive |
1 | An important tool in supervising your kids' education. | I am not a professional educator or homeschooler, but as a Dad I need to be sure my kids are learning the things they need to learn. This is a very helpful resource to me because it gives an overview of what kids should be learning at each stage along the way. (Fortunately, my kids' school seems to be doing pretty well... | positive |
1 | Superb and useful book | A thorough and useful book. Shows practical ways and guidelines/checklists to evaluate whether the school is teaching your kids, or wasting their time. While the book concentrates on helping your kids take advantage of (or survive!) public schools and other schools, there is also a lot of fascinating info showing how t... | positive |
0 | A good yarn | A reasonable read. Good story line although I expected it to be about captain cochrane himself. Worth a look at. | negative |
1 | Loved it | Havent been able to find this album in years. Great buy! If you haven't heard it and like odd ball music with a flare of ronchyness this is it | positive |
1 | Loooove it! | Had the cassette when I was 16, missed having it and had the chance to purchase it again. Fast shipping, great condition, just love it! | positive |
1 | Corn Farm Boy - Lois Lenski | This is a wonderful book about farm life in the 1950's, written from the viewpoint of a 12 year old boy, called here Dick. He does all the things farm kids did in those days. He fakes sickness so he can be home when the new tractor drives in the lane, rides the cows, makes pets of everything, falls in the creek. His da... | positive |
1 | Using Borland Paradox 7 for Windows 95 & NT | After several months of searching, as this book was already out of print, I finally located a used copy and it turned into the best buy for me in a long time. With an extensive index and related subject references at the end of each chapter, navigating the book is easy. It's size is enough to make most readers weak in ... | positive |
1 | its a great pmp | it is one of the the best pmp's around . a great LCD and really good looks wit a 30GB capacity . well the price is a bit on the expensive side ........when compared to the archos AV420 which is at 306$ wit the capability of video recording facility . . . . .well i bought a creative and i dont regret it at all . . . . .... | positive |
1 | Full satisfy | The Zen vision allow to store thousands of family pictures ,Favorites MP3 songs and full disks you have,Control each user use with his own play list,and store films you can easy connect and look through your TV or personaly in the Zen Vision screen.Good control and arrange softwares came together. | positive |
1 | Perfect | I was a little concerned about buying this item by the Internet, but everything was really easy and the service was perfect. The items arrived in very good conditions and on time. Wonderful service! | positive |
1 | Zen Vision---Very nice | The Zen Vision 30 GB is an awsome multimedia player. It is easy to use, comes with great software, and complete with an FM radio.This unit leaves the Apple Ipod video eating dust. | positive |
1 | Creative Zen Vision 30 GB Multimedia Player (white) | I just love my Multimedia Player. I can play songs, listen to books and store pictures to carry around with me. The screen is big and sharp so you can see pictures very well. I have not tried to play videos on it yet and I have not had any problems so I don't have any complaints. | positive |
0 | Barely Better Than The Previous Version | I had my Creative Zen Vision for all of about 3 hours. Having previously owned a 20GB Creative Zen Portable Media Center and being completely unsatisfied with it I was really hoping that Creative had gone the extra mile and learned from their past effort. Well, 3 hours into things I discovered they did a few things rig... | negative |
0 | freeze | I own the Zen Xtra, thought this was a upgrade, wrong, this unit functions like the ipod, no search function, poor screen vision and after 2 hours it froze had to remove battery to reboot. not what you expect from creative labs | negative |
1 | Somewhat Difficult yet Fun | The Sunsout No Room at The Inn Puzzle has oddly shaped pieces that are somewhat difficult to put together. I am currently still working on it, but so far, it looks great! I would recommend this puzzle to anyone with a little extra time on their hands and the love of solving puzzles. Overall, I am very happy with my pur... | positive |
1 | Great Christmas puzzle for the whole family to enjoy | This puzzle was delivered on time as stated by the company. The puzzle has been great fun for our family in preparation for Christmas. Advent is a time to anticipate Christ's birth, what better way than with a Nativity scene puzzle? | positive |
1 | Old Gold -- New Studio Renditions by the Original Artists | I thought I was buying a compilation of original recordings that I had heard and loved while listening to them on the radio. Several of them are one-hit wonders. Imagine my surprise as, while listening, I realized that these for the most part are not original recordings, but are studio recordings by the original artist... | positive |
1 | Good book, but not so great ending | This was the first Brenda Jackson book I've read. I was really into the book the whole time but was greatly disappointed in the ending. It seemed to me as thought the author put a lot of details and drama throughout the book and then such a flat/dry ending. Overall a good read. I do recommend it. | positive |
1 | It Was Hard To Put Down!! | I like everything that I've read from Ms. Jackson and this is no exception. I had a hard time putting this book down and just finished reading it and now I am sorry it's over. | positive |
1 | Good book for the prepared reader | This is a reissue of a 1964 work. MacIntyre provides a new introduction that critically reviews what he sees as the strength and weaknesses of the book. The book itself, however, is unchanged from the 1964 text.Beginners will find this a difficult book to work through. MacIntyre presumes the reader has a basic understa... | positive |
0 | Not a lot to recommend. | This series is my first experience reading Moorcock. I am usually an avid reader, but I kept finding myself making excuses to do anything except get back to this book. The characters lack sympathy and depth. There are plenty of battles, but the plot stringing them together feels stale and sketchy. I'll probably finish ... | negative |
1 | Super Reader | Despite Dorian Hawkmoon's best efforts, the Dark Empire is still expanding. It is growing so much he has to take extraodinary efforts to protect his own turf. Doing so, however, doesn't solve the greater problem at hand. Heroes are made to do heroic things, and Hawkmoon is the Eternal Champion, and the Sword of the Daw... | positive |
0 | Meandering and pointless | At least it has the saving grace of being short. Our two heroes wander aimlessly from adventure to adventure in a series of dull vignettes. | negative |
1 | Fresh take on an old plot | I really liked this film. It combines musical film with 1950's mystery. It's a fresh take on an old plot. It was also cool to see so many great French actresses in the same movie. Catherine Deneuve, Isabelle Huppert, and Fanny Ardant steal the show, but all eight actresses turned in a nearly flawless performance. There... | positive |
0 | So Bad It's...Bizarre | This has got to be one of the loopiest films I've ever seen. Does it work? Not really. Is it fun to watch? With these women, how could it not be? But don't expect logic in any way, shape or form. (Keeping track of who is or isn't a lesbian alone could make your head spin.) Unfortunately, don't expect good songs, either... | negative |
0 | hello kitty is better | Oh dear. If 7 brides for 7 brothers is one of your favorite movies then by all means buy 8 women which is equally silly. Life is Weird and so is this film directed by Francois Ozon who should have been kicked out of the academy for this one. Arnaud De Moleron, the set director, should never be employed again. The set i... | negative |
1 | Wonderful! Fantastique! | I was hesitant, at first, but being a great fan of Catherine Deneuve and Fanny Ardant, how could I not see this film?!? Once I decided to rent "8 Femmes" I was not disappointed. In fact, I was most pleasantly surprised - the music, too, is a nice bonus. Isabelle Huppert gives a scene-stealing performance, and there is ... | positive |
0 | Mainly for movie addicts | On first sight this is just a whodunnit: during a roaring snow storm the man in the house is murdered and the 8 women who are left behind all have had a reason to murder him. The cast is impressive (where else do you find 8 superstars together in one movie?), but the story line is rather thin.This is because the story ... | negative |
0 | Awful | I dozed off part way through the film and then after watching another ten minutes just turned off the DVD player. The film seems to be aiming to be a comedy, but fails utterly. It can not be anything else except for a very weak (dark) comedy. | negative |
0 | The French don't get it | This movie was made just after the first resurgence of movie musicals, the first round being Moulin Rouge, Knight's Tale, and Chicago. So the French decided to get in on the trend and do a musical as well, but apparently this is much too happy a concept for the French personality, and they butchered the job. The movie ... | negative |
0 | Waste of time and money | If you have no taste....no morals......and are tone deaf and have time to waste then this movie is for you. What a bomb. | negative |
0 | Not good | This is exactly the type of movie I'm trying to avoid. I have no idea how I came into possession of this but keep it far away from me. | negative |
0 | Whodunit? A french Version of CLUE | I don't know how to review this honestly as I am split down the middle. In all honesty it reminds me of the American film "Clue". Everyone is stranded in a big house, one person gets murdered, and everyone has a motive. I didn't like the musical numbers and really the film didn't hold my interest very well. I did get a... | negative |
0 | SEE 8 1/2 WOMEN INSTEAD | Imagine getting snowbound in a cabin with 8 WOMEN (Universal) and a dead body and then have to witness each woman sing and dance (badly) as they tell their story. Who dunnit? Who cares! A whopping French dud. See 8 1/2 women instead. | negative |
0 | Half the substance, twice the cheese. | Oh, my was this awful. It was a desperate-to-be-different movie with corny dialogue and even cornier subplots. The characters are two dimensional and are all arrogant in one way or another(other than the maid). You just can't have a "wacky" and risque movie; the mediums simply don't mix as is proof in this film. I am a... | negative |
0 | Oh no - I had to end it! | I agree with the others that gave it one star. I was expecting a much different movie. It was trying to be different, quirky, and funny and it was none of these things. I did not care about the characters because there was nothing of substance to care about. I realize it was a comedy that was supposed to be light and f... | negative |
0 | As bad as Moulin Rouge | As a non-traditional student (having taught French for over 20 years before returning to graduate work)pursuing a doctorate in French, I`ve seen a lot of fine French films. 8 Femmes isn`t one of them. For a charming musical, for example, see Sous les toits de Paris directed by Rene Clair in the early 1930`s. The forget... | negative |
1 | Leave the Musical Out | I found it to be a good movie to watch as the women of the mansion try and solve the "murder" of the patriarch. Each woman has some sort of a relationship with the "deceased". They have a pivotal role in the involvement of the man and confess their secrets. The movie itself was good but it could do much better without ... | positive |
1 | Fluffy fun | Well, no one said it was supposed to be serious, and it's not. It's just a silly, riotous evening of laughter, some of it so 'out there' that you can't believe you're actually watching it. Cast is loaded with French 'name' actresses, all 8 of them. Full of sidelong glances, over the top cliches, French stereotypes, nut... | positive |
0 | A dark farce | that can't decide whether it's a murder mystery or a parody of one. Each character has a < gasp! > song, each worst than the last. Its message is the women in any man's life will drive him crazy. Sure, the eight women here are the best that French cinema has to offer, though Catherine Deneuve is a bit of a dumpling des... | negative |
0 | 8 Women | I was so disappointed in this movie. The plot sounded great, the cast was certainly good, but after twenty minutes and several songs later I wanted to turn it off. I didn't because I thought it might improve. I was wrong. I have never written a review but this one was so bad I feel I have to. | negative |
0 | more than bad | this is for sure the badest and most boring film i have ever seen (i swear).8 women in one room for more than 5 minutes is by far too much.and everybody has to sing a chanson.this is horrible ! | negative |
0 | Femme Fatales or Very Lame? | Terrible direction, terrible writing, it almost feels like the director didn't know what he was working with. Although this movie wanted to be in the same race and quality of the movie CLUE, it fails to realize that the plot and characters are incredibly riculous and not funny ha ha but funny stupid. It was a total wat... | negative |
0 | Great film, Bad DVD | I was looking forward to this DVD, when I got it, i wished I never ordered this version. The subtitles are embedded on the screen, and if you need spanish subtitles they show up on top of the screen, so basically you have 2 different languages being written on the screen. You can't see what's going on in front of you. ... | negative |
1 | Reagan Service at the National Cathedral | I have not heard the CD, yet. (sorry)But have spent some time this afternoon tracking down info on the piece that was played as Pres Reagan was carried from the National Cathedral.It took a bit of searching to come up with a loose title to the piece and some names. But I am not certain that I have the correct score.Can... | positive |
0 | we were soldiers original motion picture score | i bought this cd for one song on it sgt. mackenzie and i was disappoint that the it was broken up into three parts on the cd | negative |
1 | Reagan Recessional | How appropriate that the end-credit score from a war movie was performed as Reagan made his final exit from his funeral. I was introduced to two incredible pieces of music from Princess Diana's funeral: the processional (Funeral Sentences) and the recessional (Alleluia by Tavener). Now there's this hauntingly moving mu... | positive |
0 | We Were Solidiers | Loved the movie, love the music. However, there are 17 tracks with different titles but the song is the same on each one. Very disappointing. | negative |
1 | Great instruction DVD | I recently purchased both Hoopnotica Beginner Levels 1 and 2. I am new to hoop dancing and I watched both of these DVDs from beginning to end without hooping just to concentrate on the instructions. I think they are both excellent DVDs as they are very clear, organized and concise. If you are trying to decide on which ... | positive |
0 | HARD! | I'm a good hoola hooper, but when it comes to the super advanced stuff that they are doing..NO WAY! Popped it into my dvd player once, I don't even know where it is now. I was so hard! | negative |
1 | Just a good as level 1! | I really enjoy these DVDs. The instruction is very straight forward and easy to follow. I would absolutely recommend this for beginning hoop dancers! | positive |
1 | Great Place to Start | This book is a great introduction to a fantastic author that is often overlooked by American readers. "Zorba" is fascinating, deep, and hilarious, all at once, and it's short and playful enough such that it won't turn off more casual readers. I recommend this title as a starting point for people who want to read Nikos ... | positive |
1 | good book | This book is pretty lyrical and easy to read. It's got some letdowns and some good comedy in it, and the characters are seriously flawed despite attempting to make some sense of life in their own way, through action and living it up or through trying to be more active. This feeling reverberates in the book quite often,... | positive |
1 | See the film .... but ALSO: read the book ! | Definitely one of the few books that give you the feeling that life is just worth living. Once you realize what is 'ultimate catastrophe' or 'the one unforgivable sin', you will see life differently. If you have seen the film and listened to the music, go forward and read the book | positive |
0 | Zorba the Greek | The quality of the materials was very disappointing, also parts of the orignal book were deleted. This was especially bad because it was for a gift. Further, I will not ever have any item gift wrapped. It was pretty cheesy. | negative |
1 | Zorba tells us what the life is ! | I have just finshed reading Zorba the Greek yesterday. I was just like the boss who always just thinking and asking what the life is. So I could do nothing. But Zorba told me " Do anything ! And then you may find out the answer" I really recommand that you should meet Zorba.. | positive |
0 | What are we rating here? The book, or ourselves? | I happen to think this is an awful book. Zorba is irritatingly larger than life, yet one-dimensional. The narrator is shallow and immature. I did not think the structure and writing to be very good either.However, looking at some of the reviews, many higher ratings went coincided with admiration of a zest for life, unb... | negative |
0 | This is a classic? | I received this book as a gift from a friend who raved about it. I gave it an honest try, but I found this book unreadable. Maybe it's the translation from the original Greek text, but the sentence structure was very hard to follow. That being said, I found Zorba to be the type of person I would actively avoid spending... | negative |
