1 | A question | This is a terrific book with a fascinating article on a filmmaker named Carl Lakewood, written in 1940 by Meyer Levin. I have searched high and low for information on Mr. Lakewood and have found nothing. If anyone has any information on this Detroit, Michigan director, please contact me at (...) | positive |
0 | true love | This man Harry lewis Martin jr. is my uncle.Do a good background check on harry!!!YOU WILL FIND OUT THAT HE IS A CHILD MOLESTER.I found that out first hand from the ages 6-12 over 150 times and it haunts me still today at age 24. Thank You Jason K Martin | negative |
1 | Great chain for my expensive pocket watch! | This is a great looking chain for my 1900 pocket watch. I did not want to spend a fortune on a chain right now, and this one looks super! | positive |
1 | Good album but not one of the best | This band rules! Full of virtuosity!Every track has its own magic. It could be better but it's really good.In case that you don't know this genre try the "...Oblivion" album, that one is almost perfect. | positive |
0 | Not very elementary | I bought this book because it said it was "elementary." I was taking a college level statistics course and I thought it would be helpful to get a high school level text. My thinking was that this text would explain concepts in more clear and basic terms. Actually, my college text was easier to understand. | negative |
0 | Dissapointed | I was so excited to skin my new T Mobile Sidekick 3. The skin came with very poor, non specific directions. I followed the directions exactly, but the product would not peel, as one piece, off of the backing, like it stated it would. Some of the design actually transferred to the sticky paper and left white sratch mark... | negative |
0 | OCR fail | This book has some nice photographs and drawings, but (at least the Kindle version) has such horrible character recognition problems that make a lot of the text look like gibberish. e.g. "/6Qo" evidently means the year 1680. Go ahead, try and figure the rest out. | negative |
1 | 1 Year later... | I have this a little over a year and it's still going strong. I have rebuilt my HTPC twice since buying this sound card, so it's seen XP, Vista, and now Windows 7(all 32-bit). At first, I had some issues getting the DDL to work correctly in Vista and Win7. Then I found these drivers and everything worked great [...]The... | positive |
0 | The sound card works BUT the rebate does NOT | The sound card is easy to install in Slackware 64 bit. All you need to do are1. Install the card into an open PCI slot2. Log in as root3. At console, type in "alsaconf", then F6, a new configuration file will be created.4. Make sure it shows up in K configuration (if not, run alsamixer as root at console), then you are... | negative |

1 | Great Sound Card | I think this is a high quality sound card, it was what i expected, great sound and performance it's give what i need... i offer to other people to buy it.. | positive |
1 | Top Value | I recently upgraded my computer to run 64 bit Windows 7 and the old on-board sound wouldn't work (no driver), so I tried this one. I have it plugged into a nice mid size 5.1 surround system and couldn't be happier. I can listen to I-Tunes, watch TV and movies while working on the computer, I couldn't have asked for mor... | positive |
1 | Vista OK | I had to dowload a vista driver for this to run but it installed easily and runs without issue. A decent product | positive |
1 | Finally a decent CD presentation. | Loved this album in the '70s and the first CD issue was awful. Now, ten years later, the newest remaster of this disc is way better. Only complaint---"Midnight Cowboy Medley" still sounds bad. | positive |
1 | One of Buddy's Best...BUT... | Great band. Great arrangements. And Buddy is at his best. (He takes one of the most musical solos you'll ever hear on the "Midnight Cowboy" Medley). However, there are some covers of pop/rock songs of the day that will certainly sound on the corny side -- considering the record is 40 years old. If you can keep that in ... | positive |
1 | A new Peak for Buddy's Band | Buddy and his super - tight outfit do themselves proud in this 1970 outing which features tight ensemble playing, strong solos, excellent recording engineering, and the world's greatest big band drummer. Several charts (Keep the Customer Satisfied, Mid- night Cowboy, and a humorous Winning the West) are by the great Bi... | positive |
0 | Disappointing Lack of Substance | Although I replied to one of the negative reviews herein, I noticed that that didn't change the overall rating of the book, so I'm writing this to warn other potential buyers. The other Very Short Intros I've looked at have been excellent; this one suffers from a distorted emphasis, I think. Rather than giving us a bro... | negative |
1 | Works but hums | It works like its supposed to. Easy hook up woth the DVD player Hums every now and then through the speakers but seems to stop when you turn it off and then back on. | positive |
1 | Great Book for Anyone Interested in Chinese Horoscopes | This book will take anyone through the process of creating a horoscope in the Chinese Zodiac. No outside information is needed - everything is in the book! | positive |
0 | buy something else | This book offers very little explanation of things that matter most. I got much better understanding of how astrology affects people's attitude from a local newspaper horoscope. Good thing was that this book was not expensive. If you are looking for something more thorough, find something else. | negative |
1 | Family Values | Harvey leaves the "Beautiful Thing" territory for a different, utterly British, take on family values. The focus is mixed as in "Babies". As in all Harvey plays, there is a flood of great dialogue. Harvey is one of the best playwrights around. | positive |
0 | It's okay | I was disappointed that the purple bunny was not a bright purple like in the photo. For a moment I even thought it may have been used, but I'm sure it was brand new. The purple bunny head is a sort of minky fabric that didn't look good. I thought it would be cotton like the rest of the towel. The bunny head section is ... | negative |
1 | Green Hornet's Last Case | This comic packs a sting reminiscent of other WW II stories with spies, espionage, raging Nazis, femme fatales. A truly great read. | positive |
1 | The Content is fine, paper quanlity is bad | I brought this book on my long flight to kill sometime. The letters are big and the book is fun. The only thing that I don't really like is the paper quanlity. It's coarse and pages are easy to fall out. | positive |
1 | Sudoku | The Book of Sudoku 3 compiled by Michael MephamPublished by: The Overlook Press, Peter Mayer Publishers, Inc. New York & WoodstockPublished in year 2005. 132pagesIt is a puzzle book.This Sudoku book is filled with puzzles rated easy to hard. They will strain your brain and sometimes leave you puzzled!Sudoku is a new fo... | positive |
1 | Very good! | The author's story on its own is worth the value of the book.This book has an investing strategy for conservative investors like myself, and very high risk investors like swing traders.I tried a few of the techniques and made 37.5% in two weeks on 2 simulated stock trades.Very interesting read at the very least. It rea... | positive |
1 | I wish I had this book 6 years ago. What a good book! | This book has helped me so much. 6 years ago I started on a downward financial spiral. About 5 months ago I was deep in debt and losing hope.Ofcourse I am still in debt but I've paid about 20% in the past 3 months. I'm a more active investor now, protecting my profits and avoiding losses. What I like about the book is ... | positive |
0 | Gardens of the moon | My first book by this author.Maybe it's because I have a poor memory for names, and this book has way too many characters, but I didn't like it overall.It left me confused most of time as to what was going on. | negative |
1 | Listen with lights off, feet up, and head high... | Though this is the only song of theirs I like, it's one of my picks when I'm feeling good and extra 'relaxed', when I want to turn down the lights, turn up the volume, and close my eyes. Though it sounds like screaming guitar, it's so relaxed the way he slowly draws the violin bow across the strings. Then it picks up t... | positive |
1 | met above standards | Needed more examples, was above beginners level, expected more details for experienced painter. Was disappointed in the color displays exhibited. | positive |
1 | Excellent Resource for Mid-Level to Expert Watercolorists | Nita is a master at her craft and shares many valuable techniques to take your painting to new heights. Easy to read, well laid out, with dozens of excellent images and examples. Prima! | positive |
1 | How to Make a Watercolor Paint Itself | Handwritten note was enclosed with the book, which made the purchase very personal. The book was in very fine condition. | positive |
1 | How to Make a Watercolor Paint Itself: . . . | I loved this book. I learned many new aspects of watercoloring. Her style, and the freedom she gives permission for, was very freeing. I highly recommend it. She is world famous, and her originals are quite expensive--plus, most are in private collections. Prints are available, and they are not cheap. Buy this book, un... | positive |
1 | Bravo, Nita! The best instruction book on watercolors . | At long last one of the world's greatest watercolor artists has published a book that reveals all of her secrets. I highly recommend this book to anyone (beginner to advanced)who works in this media. Her illustrations and instructions are like nothing I have seen before. Her style allows watercolors to paint themselves... | positive |
1 | painting outsideTHE BOX | Have you ever tried to achieve the ever changing glistening sun-reflection in your painting and not quite make it? This book has it all but tradition. Great book for those who desire to think outside of the box.Engle has put the excitement of her classroom in a book,but I sure would like to be in HER classroom!This boo... | positive |
1 | Amazing technique and some startling tricks | The realistic effects Nita Engle achieves are even more amazing when she reveals how they're done.Her wash technique looks completely random (swirling paint into a wash, some spatters, streaks) but when overpainted with trees or other landscape elements, the washes become reflecting water, weather, all in excitingly "b... | positive |
1 | WONDERFUL book for textures! | This isn't a beginner's "how to" book. It doesn't teach paint application techniques like washes, color theory, etc. It's the book you wish you had to get beyond the basics. It teaches you a variety of techniques from spattering paint and mask to creating effects like fog, etc.Great book! | positive |
0 | This is not the book for serious artists. | I was disappointed in this book. The art and techniques illustrated are of the type one might expect to see on a TV Craft Show. I would instead recomment Robert Wade's watercolor book. | negative |
1 | water color everywhere | good book for the starting out artist I bought this for my girlfriend and I think she likes it. thank you. | positive |
0 | "How to"....are you kidding me ? | It's obvious she's beautiful watercolorist, but, even to an intermediatepainter!!!???? Not a book I would have bought, if I'd seen it first hand. | negative |
1 | How to Make Watercolor paint itself | I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in watercolor. There are lots of great ideas to make your paintings interesting. I used several of the techniques with great success. It's a good informative book. This should be in everyone's library of art books. | positive |
1 | Great Ideas | This book contains a lot of great techniques for making your watercolors seem more natural and alive. I found the instructions clear and the illustrations helpful. The author knows how to address an audience ranging from beginners to experienced painters (I'm a beginner) and I was motivated to start trying them right a... | positive |
1 | Excellent resource | Book purchased to present to our watercolor instructor at the end of our session. It has so many different techniques, and really lovely examples. At least two members of the class have ordered the book after examing this one. She plans to incorporate some of the unusual techniques in the next session she leads. | positive |
0 | Too arts 'n crafts for me,,,, I returned it today | I just did not like this book. Maybe I'm not experienced enough (I'd say I'm an intermediate watercolorist perhaps)to appreciate her approaches to achieve this or that. After reading all the reviews, I ignored the nay sayers and bought it. It go returned today. I thoroughly looked through the book and I just KNOW I am ... | negative |
0 | Not what I expected | This doesn't have the typical wall calendar layout that I expected, so I'll be returning it shortly. Wish I had known ahead of time. This calendar has no pictures inside but instead lists the days of the month with lots of room for notes on each day. I'm sure this might meet the needs of some folks but just isn't what ... | negative |
1 | great family organizer | This chart type calendar is a great way to keep track of kids' schedules. (I used one last year and need one next year!) | positive |
0 | broken | I recieved this product broken into 5 pieces. This happened over a month ago and the company that sent it (Unbeatable Sales) does not want to refund my money. I paid over $100 for this item and and it is worthless to me. I am very unsatisfied with the service that I am recieving and do not recommend purchasing anything... | negative |
1 | Must have! Healing music. | I first heard this CD while getting my flu shot this fall. I have to lie down to get any kind of shot, and even still I'm seconds away from fainting. But Camie's harp music was lulling me into tranquility, despite the nurse and the needle in the room.After surviving the innoculation, I went to the hopsital gift shop (S... | positive |
1 | Interesting | Mmm... a very good book! If your a Chris Pike fan, or a dinosaur fan, you'll enjoy it. Go on, try it out. It's the next Jurassic Park! | positive |
1 | Correct Width | Be aware that the listed width in Amazon is wrong the true inside dimensions are 21" x 35-3/4". I built a router table to put on this mobile base using the stated wrong demensions in Amazon. I hope this info keeps you from the mistake I made. As for the base, I like them this is the third one I have. | positive |
0 | Update your listing | Please update your website. Its misleading. This item has been out of stock for quite a while. Quit wasting our time............ | negative |

1 | Good single! | Natalie's third single from her first album, and it's a pretty good single:1. Wishing I was there: Her second top 40 song, and a mix between her first two singles: Torn & big mistake. A good song, with a loud opening tune. It has 2 video''s, both not too great.2. Big mistake(live): She proves she can indeed sing live a... | positive |
1 | Nice ceiling mount | I have had sevral types of ceiling mounts manufactured by Peerless and have been pleased with all of them. This mount is being used to mount a 55 inch LCD. I did reinforce the ceiling joists in order to insure it could hold the weight. | positive |
0 | Too Thin, Too Smelly !! | I like the design of the attachment points and the artwork and that is about it. It is still smelling up my bathroom several weeks after installation!! The vinyl is so thin and light weight that the air movement created by a hot shower has it fluttering all over the shower and me! A longer, heavier curtain with some so... | negative |
1 | WISH IT WAS LONGER | I LOVE THE HOOKLESS CURTAINS. EASY TO PUT UP. I WISH THE LENGTH WAS LONGER MY TUB IS KIND OF SHORT IT IS THE OLD FASHION ONES. | positive |
1 | Good Product | Great Product, Skyjacker has a good reputation and this product is another reason for it. Fit right, no hassles. Highly recommend. | positive |
1 | You won't be bored by the groove! | This 2 CD set is at the forefront of my jazz collection. The drums and rhythms of this music is much of what I love. It flows in unexpected directions so your mind can be led down unexpected paths. | positive |
1 | DJ Pierre's one of the best tracks as producer | This is the DJ Pierre's garage style.This track is really smooth.cool.great.amazing | positive |
1 | Quite a phenomenon | This album is amazing.It contains 100% excellence and virtuosity. In my opinion, it would make great fantasy music.Personally I beleive that the best song on here is 'Of Sins and Shadows'. This one poses great vocals, great guitar and GREAT music.Just get it!This is some of the best music I've ever heard, and this is u... | positive |
1 | Really Good...But something is wrong | This Double live album is definitely worth a buy. All the technical virtuosity and songwriting skills are in full focs on these two discs. The discs combine to show that this band really CAN pull it off live.Romeo's blitzkrieg guitar work is awesome (of course) and Rullo is perfect.Allen seems to struggle on some songs... | positive |
0 | Not Wim's best | This may be Mertens' worst record. It's unfortunate that he has moved in this direction. The ensemble pieces sound too often like "adult contemporary instrumental" or "New Age" and that is embarrasing for Wim. For those who have heard Mertens' earlier records and liked them, beware! | negative |
1 | The greatest help | I bought this book because of a friend's recommendation. I can't tell you how much this has helped me to get through my loss. I am still grieving but each day when I read from my book it gives me a new way to look at my life. Nothing takes away the pain but some things help more than others | positive |
1 | Healing After Loss | Very comforting and realistic. After I received it from a friend a few weeks after I suddenly lost my husband. I was groundless. I was looking everywhere for help on-line and grief share groups. Those all may have helped as well as my faith community, but this little book is a powerful companion for me. Since then,I've... | positive |
1 | Healing After Loss: Daily Meditations for Working Through Grief | I received this little book when on a retreat for recent widows & widowers. This book was so very helpful during the months that passed, helping me to deal with the sudden loss of my husband. Since then I have purchased this book for several people who have lost a spouse. I highly recommend it. | positive |
1 | The Best Little Book Out There! | Using quotes from various sources, the author touches on all areas of grief through short reflections that will very often be just what you need to hear. Everyone in our support group voted it higher than any other resource and I use it to express sympathy to friends when the need arises. | positive |
1 | Best Daily Meditation Book Ever | This is the best daily meditation book I have ever used. Draws from a wide variety of traditions, and not one patronizing entry so far, after half a year. | positive |
1 | Excellent resource | For newly bereaved (or not so newly bereaved), this is a good and thoughtful resource of daily reflections. Not always pleasant to read, the author does a great job of getting one to think and to try to integrate one's loss into life without paralysis. Highly recommended. | positive |
1 | So helpful.... | This book was a tremendous aid to me after losing my husband. It touched on all the overwhelming feelings I was experiencing. I recommend this to anyone who has lost a loved one. | positive |
1 | This is a remarkable book. | Trying to deal with overwhelming grief over the loss of my mom, this book sort of fell into my hand at my local library. There are no words to describe the amount of comfort I got -- and still get -- from these pages. I can't tell you the number of copies I've purchased and given away. Everyone finds something that mak... | positive |
1 | Healing after Loss | This book lives up to its title. I have been using it in a prison bereavement group I facilitate for over five years. The inmates like it so much that they decided to name our group after the title. Why do they like it? It is accessible and they find something they can relate to in almost every passage. The book does n... | positive |
1 | I Can Give This Book with Confidence | Since receiving HEALING AFTER LOSS a few months after my husband died, I have given many copies of it to persons dealing with grief. The recipients have expressed their gratitude and sincere appreciation for the insights and understanding they have realized from reading this book. The daily meditations consistently dea... | positive |
0 | This is OK for small readings | The book is exactly what it says: daily meditations, so the entries are short and meant to be that way. | negative |
0 | neither inspiring nor comforting for me | A page a day consisting of a short quotation about grief (e.g. "Even desolation is a world to be explored" - one of the better ones actually) followed by a longer exposition on the quotation by Hickman and then a little summing up at the end (e.g. "hurray for laughter - lead me to it"). A few of the quotations were tho... | negative |
0 | Ripped off | I am very unhappy with the entire experience and will buy my books locally from now on. I could not track the shipment and then was notified that it was returned to sender with a hefty postage and restock fee charged to me!!! Buyer beware will be my motto!! | negative |
0 | This is not a Christian book | I bought this book because one of the bad reviews said it was a Christian book. It does have a few mediocre references to the bible as well as many humanistic ideas. There is not any great biblical truth that will give someone purpose in the Christian life and lead someone to a closer walk with God. Anyone from other r... | negative |
1 | Comforting, and thought-proviking | The author has managed to combine comforting and validating words, as well as pointing out little things in every day life from which to find the strength to put one foot in front of the other. This is the first book I've read which has really helped since my sister died unexpectedly one year ago. My grief counselor re... | positive |
1 | A Mother in Grief | We lost our son 12 years ago; he was 29, our only son and a beloved brother to one sister. I read many books so that I might be able to take this grief journey (one I did not want to be on) with love and respect for our son. I found Healing After Loss and my copy is now falling apart! I have literally read it almost ev... | positive |
1 | well done bood of meditations | This book is designed to console people dealing with the death of someone dear to them. The short quotations and reflection provide a dose of consolation. Well done! | positive |
0 | Not very good. | This book was not for me. It was little inspirational words and written alot like a desk calendar. Not recommended. | negative |
1 | THE MOST HELPFUL AND COMFORTING.... | My beloved husband & soul mate died this year. Ths loss is painful beyond any words. I've read many books to help me "just get through" these difficult times of change and adjustment - while honoring his memory. This is, by far, the best I've read... the words are comforting and insightful. In addition to the book - I ... | positive |
1 | Highly Recommended! | I have treasured this book since the first time I needed something like this after the sudden death of my son in March 2001. Since that time, I have ordered this book several times to give to friends who have lost loved ones. When you wake up in the morning and realize you don't really want to get out of bed you are so... | positive |
1 | Very helpful during a difficult time | I got this book to help me through difficult holiday season after losing my mom in October. After losing my father, brothers, and more recently my mother, the holiday season is particularly difficult. I found this book very helpful.

Ma... | positive |
1 | Most helpful book I am reading as I grieve the loss of my beloved husband | A friend let me borrow this book after the sudden, expected death of my husband of 25 years. I have been reading quite a few books on grieving, but this one is always my favorite. I am buying a few extra copies to give to my friends or family in the future. | positive |
1 | Healing After Loss | I have over time purchased more copies of this book that I can remember. As I am a member of a Prayer Group this is the best book that can be given to someone who has lost a loved one. The important thing is that you do not need to really know where the person receiving the book is spiritually, it seems to speak to jus... | positive |
1 | Healing after Loss: Daily Meditations for Working Through Grief | I originally purchased this book for a class on coping with life effectively that I teach at a community college. After reading it, I decided that it would be a great gift for friends of mine who have recently lost spouses. I since have purchased numerous copies of this book instead of the traditional bouquet of flower... | positive |
1 | Healing After Loss: Daily meditations for Working Through Grief | I keep this book on my bedside table. It is helpful for anyone who has exerienced the death of a loved one. The author has uplifting daily meditations that are designed to help people actually move through grief. I recommend this to anyone who has had a major loss. | positive |
1 | Helpful Book after loss of loved one. | My husband died in 2003; we had been married forty-five happy years and I was certainly not ready to become a widow. We have four grown children and much for which to be grateful; but it was a very difficult time for me. THIS book was shared with me by a friend who had to bury one of her own adult children after a tedi... | positive |
1 | Inspirational, beneficial when "in the mud" of grief | When in grief, regardless of whether it is new or some time ago, one needs words of wisdom that cut through the pain. This little book speaks volumes. I highly recommend it for one's self if one has not read it and also to give it as a gift to another heart in pain. For one suffering a fresh wound this little book will... | positive |
1 | Healing after Loss | this book is a must for someone trying to navigate through a painfull loss. Because some of the pain comes from not knowing how to live this new altered life.I thought I was ready to put it down but after 2 1/2 years after the loss of my only son I still look forward to reading its Healing words. | positive |
1 | Very Helpful | All of us suffer loss at some point in our life. How we handle loss and pain defines who we are as Christians. This book, is very helpful. | positive |
1 | comforting | Following the sudden death of our daughter, I found the daily readings in "Healing After Loss" to be very comforting. I bought this book also from Amazon, for my other three children and they have found it to be helpful as well. | positive |
1 | Very Glad I found this book. | Having had several deaths in the family within a year, I was looking for anything to help cope with all the different feelings I was having. This meditation book was very good. It was comforting, reassuring, and enlightening. Because the readings were short, it was easier to say focused for just enough time to read the... | positive |
1 | Achieves a gentle balance for healing | I found this book after the sudden death of my husband. I had always found daily meditational readings gave good "bite-sized" thoughts to take me through the day. This book achieved a wonderful balance, no matter where in the year you began the readings. It contains both acknowledgement for the fresh tears of new grief... | positive |
1 | Healing After Loss: Daily Meditations for Working Through Grief | This book was given to me after my husband died. As I read the daily meditations, I was provided with hope, compassion and understanding. Very deep and realistic words written by someone who has suffered a tremendous loss. Two years later, I continue to read it from time to time and the words are in the moment. I give ... | positive |
1 | Healing After Loss | This book was given to me about a month after my husband died Aug. 2006. I thought it might be "religious" since a deacon from my church gave it to me. It is spiritual if that is what you are looking for in the daily readings. However, it isn't limited to any one religion and is also appropriate for any one who doesn't... | positive |
1 | Hits the nail on the head | This daily meditation book expresses every thought I have ever had after loss. Have shared with multiple friends who have lost spouses, and everyone of them has the same reaction. Excellent value! | positive |
1 | Small Gem | Healing After Loss is a small gem that was given to me by a friend, and which I now order in quantities of five to distribute to anyone who has experienced a death in the family. It is packed with wisdom in small, digestible pieces, and there was no day when I did not receive strength and courage to proceed by the dail... | positive |
