0 | This wallows in lameness! | The title of the review says it all. The characters are shallow and the situation is contrived. Reading the entire book was painful, and I would not have continued reading it if it wasn't a book club selection. Save your money and your time. Don't bother reading this book! | negative |
1 | We aren't in Kansas anymore | I enjoyed "Surrender Dorothy" very much. However, I would have loved to have know Sarah more before her accident. Her character was not fully developed. I liked her best male friend the best. I found the other characters self-absorbed and often annoying. The overall plot was interesting and often heart-wrenching. The a... | positive |
0 | Surrender this one | After plodding through a few chapters of these boring characters, I surrendered the book to the stack waiting to go back to the library. | negative |
1 | Absorbing and Felt Real | This absorbing story felt real as I went along, reading it pretty quickly over the course of a few nights. Meg Wolitzer's writing is all-American, a reflection of life here and now. I love it. She's just deep enough to be very interesting, and literary enough to pull you along, but in this book, every word counts. If o... | positive |
0 | Boring,Boring,Boring,,, | How an author can create such great characters while writing a novel free from compelling circumstances is surprising. Ho hum, I can't believe she's dead, let's pour ourself another drink. I can't believe her mother showed up, ho-hum let's pour another drink and watch her clean the house. One big secret does surface, b... | negative |
1 | funny and heartbreaking | I loved this book -- it's among Wolitzer's best. The writing is sharp, funny and epigrammatic, the characters rich, the plot full of twists and turns. I can't wait for the movie! | positive |
0 | Would not buy were I you | The book's horrendous, a waste of money. I could have focused on other books, but sadly, did not. The worst book I have ever read, with poor characters, poor writing. I did not like at all. Was there even an editor? If you desperately want to give it a try, borrow somewhere (not that you'll find it in the library).... ... | negative |
0 | Disappointed | I read this book and hoped against hope for something new in vampire lore but it's basically the same old stuff not very interestingly written. | negative |
0 | Left me cold | Okay, I'll admit it was sort of scary, but it got on my nerves how completely unlikeable the characters were. When one of the humans fell prey, I thought 'so what'...when one of the vampires was being high and mighty, I thought 'whatever'. Having the vampires turn into a grotesque, ugly beast is orginal, but actually r... | negative |
1 | Reflections of a Vampire ROCKS! | Horror lovers everywhere, be prepared to crown another King. Damion Kirk is a master story weaver and first class writer with tremendous style. Mr. Kirk's vampires are so vivid, they crawl off the page. One even followed me into my dreams! St. Laurue is a vampire that shocks as much with his violence as his sudden outb... | positive |
1 | Big Chill in Little London | A word of mouth film. In turn sordid, fascinating, voyeuristic and sensational. The filmmakers take the wake theme and give it a new twist. From beyond the grave, Jude Law narrates and shows a film of his friends to his friends. They are shown as cowards, cheats, petty criminals, adulterers and ultimately murderers. Th... | positive |
0 | A little disappointed... | Am I the only one who didn't like this movie? Sure, it was an original idea and the revelation of how Jude died was surprising, to say the least. Still, it was very slow-moving and even though Ray Whinstone was very good and Jude Law looked as hot as ever, there wasn't much else to hold my attention. The female leads a... | negative |
1 | For those who like word of mouth cult movies... | and especially British underground cult movies, check out "Final Cut" - and then "Love, Honour & Obey" (the sequel, written by the same two guys, and featuring the same set of actors). The first time I saw "Final Cut" back in 98 I was gripped by the edgy, rawness of this "reality movie" format, and the shear thought-pr... | positive |
0 | Trash Pure and Simple | This is one of the worst conceived, plotted, edited, or acted films it has ever been my misfortune to buy. A complete piece of rubbish. | negative |
1 | For professionals only | If you work as a professional color laboratory tech or studio photographer, this book has definitive information about the characteristics of the multitude of available filters. The information is simply available no where else in this easy-to-reference format. Be cautioned that this book is not targeted at casual amat... | positive |
0 | Not as well-made as I'd hoped | The three bears on this toy spin easily, which makes it great for a young baby to play with. Each of the bears are rattles and are not only interesting to watch but noisy too. However, the suction cup doesn't work very well, even when moistened. I used to put it on our baby's swing tray, and then her high chair tray, b... | negative |
0 | Not up to expectations. | I thought the author would actually REVIEW the outlet malls, not just tell us where they are (you can get that for free on the Internet!) He warns that not all "outlets" really offer great bargains -- but you have to check 'em all out yourself to find out which ones do.And guess what -- he says you can get great prices... | negative |
1 | Everything I ever wanted to know | This dictionary is the best medical dictionary I've come across. It's full of illustrations and makes searching for things easy. | positive |
1 | Mosbys medical dictionary | Excellent dictionary has every term that you need, I use it everyday for school plus for my own at home, great explanations and pictures. | positive |
1 | mosby's dictionary | it's been very helpful, i'm taking medical coding and there are things i did not know so i looked it up and was very helpful. i will continue using it. | positive |
1 | Better Lucky than Smart | I ordered Tabers Cyclopedic guide first, but it arrived with some pages damaged in binding. And it seemed compressed in size and with its explanations. So I sent it back (thank you damage) and switched to Mosby's. Hooray! Bigger & better & more thorough with LOTS of pictures. The words searched for are printed in blue,... | positive |
1 | This dictionary makes looking up words fun. | I bought Mosby's because it's easy to read and look up medical terms. I'm learning the language and this book is formatted for easy readability. The numerous illustrations are all in color which I found informative. It's definitely a user-friendly dictionary. | positive |
1 | Mosby's Medical Dictionary | I am enjoying the book. It has been a good reference for my research and for my papers. | positive |
1 | Mosby's Medical Dictionary | This dictionary was bought for my wife studying to become a LicensedMassage Therapist. In the course of her Physiology studies it becameapparent that for the terminology being used required a stronger, moreprecise definition to her study even more than her Physiology book.Thismet her need and has been a tool that will ... | positive |
1 | Mosby's Medical Dictionary 7th Ed | I am glad I bought this one to cross reference and for more thorough definition for my med term course; it got lots of vivid pictures which I even like. I highly recommend this book. | positive |
1 | Cap in Terrell, Tx. | I really do like using Mosby's Medical Dictionary because it is an easy print to read. I am currently taking an Internet course in Medical Terminology. When I don't understand a word I quickly look it up in Mosby's Medical Dictionary for more clarification. The graphic pictures are excellent. In addition, I will be pur... | positive |
0 | Much Is Missing | This particular Dictionary does not come with conversion tables, or any of the other information that is advertised with this purchase. All it came with was the Atlas of Anatomy and the word definitions. So very upset with this purchase. | negative |
1 | Mosby's Medical Dictionary | This dictionary is a great resource. It is full of wonderful color pictures and are very interesting. This book has helped me in many of my classes this semester. | positive |
1 | Easy to understand | I bought this book to compliment my Taber's Medical Dictionary. I'm glad that I did. I found that some of the diseases in Taber's were vague and when I looked them up in Mosby's I found easy to understand definitions with lots of pictures of diseases. | positive |
0 | I finally found it | My search is over. I have finally found the absolute worst record in the history of recorded sound. These guys are so awful they make the Dead sound like the Vienna Boys Choir. The stuff on this record cannot even be called music. They must have been great at PR, because they had absolutely no ability to make recorded ... | negative |
0 | One of the most disappointing Heinlein books | This book seemed like just another rehash of the basic training storyline from Starship Troopers. But there's less to it than in Starship Troopers. I don't like the characters. The only one that says anything other than the "gee shucks, we're in the space patrol" line is an utter creep and many of the scenes just drag ... | negative |
1 | A child's adventure story; an adult's classic | It's too easy to dismiss Heinlein's juveniles as books for kids. Too easy, and too simplistic. As a kid, this was my favorite book about adventures in space. I just re-read it, and was amazed at the depth of presentation in a book easily enjoyed by children. The Venusian frame of mind is both alien and understandable. ... | positive |
1 | One of Heinlein's better Children's Stories | This book is an excellent adventure in the Heinlein series. He once again creates a captivating set of charecters that drwas the auidence in. The story is set in space, as the main charecter is attempting to become a part of the elite space patrol. It is a story about duty, honor, and becoming a man with responsibility | positive |
1 | A monologue on shortfalls of general-ship and the war of 1914-18 | JFC Fuller has always been erudite and his reaction to the general-ship in World War I makes an excellent read.I however do wish that the digitisation had been better since each page needs a change of font size in this Kindle edition, when read on an I pad. | positive |
0 | OOPS! | I know it says outdoor but I thought since the fire was caged... Let's just say I strongly recommend you do not use this inside. Your insurance WILL NOT cover any related incident!Oh, the humanity! | negative |
1 | DOUBLE MEASURE! | Putting things in perspective is only part of what Eduardo learns as he attempts to "measure up" to the RULERS. A super little bilingual story on learning how to prioritize our duties. | positive |
0 | Mediocrity for our times | The author uses Enron as an example of what can happen if his strategies are implemented. Need I say more? | negative |
0 | Command and Control at the Top | Like many others, I picked up this book hoping to get a kernel or two of wisdom on how to consult to those at the top of the leadership pyramid. What I got was disappointing, to say the least. At minimum, this book is mistitled, because the reader is led to expect a comprehensive description about how executive teams f... | negative |
0 | Misses the Point | I was hugely disappointed with this book. It held such promise of addressing one of the most important barriers to building collaborative behavior in organizations---the behavior of the senior people.Throughout the book the author seemed to defend the hierarchical behavior of senior executives and diminish team benefit... | negative |
1 | Good Godowsky. | These are good performances, but I prefer those of Carlo Grante on Music & Arts. Recording sound also leaves something to be desired. | positive |
0 | Horrible | I own the Swissmar Borner V Slicer and find it to be of exceptional quality (very sharp and useful). This item, however, is not. Maybe if you are using this tool to make interesting Veg'Art, but I found it wouldn't even peel a potato properly. The peeler part is so dull I'm not sure what anyone would do with that featu... | negative |
0 | Almost awful product from Borner! | I have the Borner mandolin and other Borner graters which are very well designed, but this one is a total failure. The grater is almost dull, made of very thin metal that bended while sitting in the drawer. The metal blade also fell once, but I managed to insert it back. The handle is uncomfortable due to it sharp shap... | negative |
1 | Borner Veggie Peeler | I used to have this peeler, but it was misplaced during moving. I used it for good 4 years and it never dulled, rusted, or got out of shape. Perfect quality and materials. I am glad I found it! Thank you, Amazon! | positive |
0 | Not Vermont American | You may think you are buying Vermont American quality, but what you will receive is the brand "Do It Best" crap FROM CHINA. Junk don't buy. | negative |
1 | Afterthoughts ... Music for the soul and spirit | In this busy, crazy, and sometimes angry world of ours, it is a gift to relax and listen to Kristi's arrangements of both original and classic music. I found the album a tool for helping me to relax at the end of a hard day, or to listen too simply for the soothing harmonies and flowing tonal art. Add this CD to your c... | positive |
1 | VERY HARD TO FIND 1982 RELEASES! BUT VERY GOOD ONES! | I remember living in Inkster, MI on Parkwood Avenue and my friend Rod would be bumpin' this 1982 release every day. "My Favorite Person" had all the classic flavor of the O'Jays. Itwas probably their last classic Philly sound release as the problems Philadelphia International would have with CBS Records wouls eventuall... | positive |
1 | Good Bed | Good bed. Definitely big enough for a good size dog. I have a collie. Zipper with removable cedar bags make it good for easy cleaning. Cedar helps with keeping away fleas and reducing dog smell. Very soft and my dog loves it. | positive |
0 | Tore within a few days. Heavy bed with 2 cedar bags inside. | This was the worst dog bed I ever purchased. Within the first few days, the fabric tore along the side seam and every time I wanted to move it, the cedar bags fell out of the giant rip. I can't imagine why this wasn't constructed with thicker fabric and industrial stitching. The bed is heavy and awkward to move. Inside... | negative |
0 | Too noisy! | The combination of the cedar and the nylon made this bed incredibly noisy. I had to pick my dog and put her on it, and once she got off of it, she wouldn't go back on. She looked at me like she was being tortured being on it. She did sleep on it for one night but wouldn't go back on it at all. Not exactly the dog bed I... | negative |
0 | Great group, poor dvd | Dvd was dissapointing. It was not a 2007 concert as you could be lead to believe on the way the dvd is advertised.The dvd was released in 2007 but was of a 1982 concert. Parts of the sound track are not in sinc with the video. | negative |
0 | crosby stlls and nash live in LA 2007 | DVD is not a 2007 concert but one in the 1980's.Title is misleading. Sound is also out of sync on some songs. Dissapointng.Live in L.a. | negative |
0 | Santana - Live by Request | War Of The Worlds will about blow my windows out. I have the newest and greatest Home theater systems with 15" speakers. This DVD is flat. Sounds like a mono system from the 50s | negative |
0 | Nothing New!! Same as SuperNatural but...... | Only Michelle Branch save this album!!!!All guys play along with unenthusiastic beat!!! even Karl | negative |
1 | Still Amazing | Watching Carlos Santana and his band on this DVD brings to me a special enjoyment. What an incredible harmony between him and his highly talented keyboardist Chester Thompson. This Thompson guy is absolutely genious, and the two together consist the heart and soul of the band. Just listen to the organ improvising theme... | positive |
1 | Nutritious and delicious | Though one reviewer felt the format of this book was a poor choice, I found it to be perfect. I can leave a spare copy with one of my grocery bags so that I can pick out a new recipe or two while at the grocery store. I find that this lets me find the freshest foods available.What I like most about this book is that wi... | positive |
1 | Recipes for a Small Planet | Great book for vegetarian recipes. Great for a new vegetarian oranyone who enjoys meatless recipes. | positive |
0 | Nearly Useless | I've owned this cookbook for years. A well-meaning relative gave it to me when I first became a vegetarian 16 years ago, and it's a good thing that I didn't start to try recipes from this book early on, because I would have given up on vegetarianism. There are some decent bread recipes here, but the remainder are almos... | negative |
1 | Bought it again for our second child! | These Carters baby albums are very cute, high quality, and easy to use. They have pockets for the photos rather than those electrostatic pages which makes them far easier to use (in my opinion). They also have space to write notes next to each photo. We liked the one we got for our daughter so much, we bought another w... | positive |
1 | Good | This is an excellent item. The seller shipped fast and I am 100% satisfied with the overall transaction. Would definitely buy from this seller again. | positive |
1 | They didn't live happily every after | Faith Wish is a great book that mature teenaged girls can relate to. AnneMarie, a beautiful, 17-year-old underachiever, has been put on an academic contract and will not graduate with her high-school class - to her dismay. When she attends a tabernacle meeting led by Brother Jackson, a charismatic, handsome self-procla... | positive |
0 | Not good | If I hadn't promised to review this book for our school library, I would have stopped reading after the first chapter. This book is not well written, nor are the characters or subplots believable. I can't think of a single student I have ever had who I would recommend this book to. Very disappointing. | negative |
1 | beautiful dancing | I wasn't sure if I'd be able to relate to Aradia after seeing how professional she always looks in her magazine photos, but having read all the other reviews, I took a chance and bought this dvd. I can only add to the praise by saying, Aradia took her time and thoughtfully planned all the components of this dvd. Might ... | positive |
1 | So simple, yet so fun | We went to a pool with a dear friend. She shared this with my son. Little did she know that this curious toy would be such a hit. My son loved it. I had to go buy two for us -- one for him and one to share, so he could have water wars. We took them to a lagoon with some friends and the kids all took to it right away.It... | positive |
0 | Put holes in our pool liner | We loved this toy at first . . .great fun! But when my son decided to put his foot in it and bounce around the pool, he put 7 holes in our pool liner before we discovered the problem. Never thought that would happen and this fun toy promptly went in the trash! | negative |
0 | Not true to description! | Beware: contrary to the item description above, this volume is not organized thematically; it does not contain any section. | negative |
1 | Excelente | Manu es una de los mejores cantantes del Operacion Triunfo.Aunque la musica es un poco 'easy listening', este CD es su premera y Manu la hace muy bien y no se falta su voz. Me encanta este chico y creo que el va a hacer mucho mas. | positive |
1 | Touching, sad, but moving and worth the read | Although many people think that reading such books as these, the accounts of teenagers who died while under the Nazi regime, is depressing...people should tell them, it should be. This book was very good, and I read it a few years ago during a class that I had to take. Everyone had read the Diary of Anne Frank, but alt... | positive |
0 | I don't like it | IT WAS SOOOOO BORING. no action at all. I had to read it for a school project on the holocaust and I ended up changing my book. I personally thought it wasn't good. | negative |
0 | We Are Witnesses | When I picked up this book and thought I would be reading experts from the dairies of David, Yitzhak, Moshe, Eva, and Anne but I was wrong. I belive that the book had to many narriations and really didn't see it through the eyes of the teenagers. The book was informative but it lacked the feeling of the Holocaust. The ... | negative |
1 | This is a good book | I am a sixth and I'm reading a book about five teenagers who died in the Holocaust. the first diary is about a teenager named David Rubinowicz and his diary is called "The end of the world will soon be here".Yitzak Rubasheuski is the second diary of the book and his diary is called "Long live the youth!" Moshe Flinker ... | positive |
0 | Ok I guess | This book was OK. I had to read it for school but I agree that it had way too many narrations in it and the only thing that captured the teens' feelings and thoughts were the scant entries from their diaries. This book didn't move me at all. If the author had put more of the kids' entries in it, it might be more effect... | negative |
1 | Book=Very GOOD! | I thought this book was very good and descriptive in what happened to the teenager's lives and the victims of the Holocaust. It was sad to know how well-off Americans in the U.S. and other fortunate people had it then. When I was reading, it was sad to picture how hard it would be then for not just teenagers but everyo... | positive |
1 | Outstanding CD | I have all 4 cd's - now waiting for the new cd, November 24 ... "All of the Above" thank you Brian Maes for some of the best music to come around in years. | positive |
1 | Caught the fever! | I was introduced to this band by some friends. Not only are their covers better than some of the original recordings but Brian's love songs are amazing. Give a listen this cd, specifically I'm Gonna Stay and the title track, The Great Symphony. | positive |
0 | Sent wrong book | I ordered Introduction to Social Problems (6th Edition)and they sent me Introduction to Sociology (5th edition). The books don't even have the same authors. When I tried to amend the problem they never responded to me. | negative |
0 | A flimsy and heavily biased account of problems in America | Thomas Sullivan attempts to cover a broad array of social problems confronting American society. He addresses race, drugs, crime, social inequality, gender, and many other relevant issues. I found his assessment of these issues superficial often misapplying or incorrectly citing material referenced. His ideology is rea... | negative |
0 | One of the great medieval Jewish poets and thinkers | Solomon ibn Gabriol 1021-1058 is one of the great Jewish medieval poets and thinkers. He lived a difficult life of wandering . His poetry is filled with a strong sense of the majesty of God. And his works are part of the Jewish liturgy. | negative |
0 | Crack | I gave it to a friend. He put it in the freezer to use that evening and when he pulled it out it was cracked. :( Disappointing. | negative |
0 | all cracked up | Freezer mug worked great for about 2 months - then it cracked and leaked all over freezer - lost my receipt and didn't know how to return - just found how to return, so have to pay shipping and can't get full refund...sad :( | negative |
1 | AWESOME MOVIE A MUST SEE | I Loved this Movie Plain And Simple It is A MUST SEE. Zoey Saldana has a huge impact in this film. I have multiple copies of this film in my home some how lol but it is well worth it. A must see buy it. Pop some popcorn and enjoy :) | positive |
0 | Good beginning, bad ending | This book's first chapter was good. It explained the complete history of Airedales. However, past page 32, they did not even mention "Airedale" (it was only written in the captions). There were Airedale pictures throughout, but they ended in the middle of the book. The rest seemed like an advertisement for Nylabone. In... | negative |
1 | A plain and simple NASB... | This Bible is the new updated NASB translation. The translation is accurate, but this particular Bible has only the basics. The print is fairly cramped, and as far as extra perks go, there are a few B&W maps and a small concordance. A good economy Bible to own, but no special frills. | positive |
0 | Poor quality. | I bought 4 of these Bibles (same ISBN) at a local Christian bookstore. They have the imitation leather cover. All of the covers have come unbound from the pages. Very poor quality. I love the NASB, but this is just poorly made. | negative |
1 | NASB | Most probably the best Bible I have owned. The NASB is probably the closest English translation to the original Hebrew and Greek, and is very easy to understand. | positive |
1 | Fun, suspenseful movie | This DVD is in fine condition and the movie is well done as well as exciting and fun to watch. My husband and I both enjoyed it despite our different tastes when it comes to movies. | positive |
0 | Why so much? | I've heard of this movie and was interested in picking it up. But can one of youmovie nerds explain why the price for this is so high? | negative |
1 | Was he? | The story of the dead man who was given a fictitious identity and was floated ashore in Spain in 1943 with papers intended to convince the Germans that the southern attack on Europe would be through Greece instead of Sicily, where it in fact took place. The film is quite entertaining if you take into consideration the ... | positive |
1 | A Dead Hero! | This has got to be one of the best WWII espionage films I have seen. Clifton Webb as Montagu did a credible job portraying the mastermind of the plan to sidetrack the Germans. It was a clever plot to plant a body with rank, papers, and identification in a location that was backed by information of tides, sea currents, ... | positive |
1 | The Man Who Never Was | Although later historical facts have put a few holes in the details of this CD and the original book, the content was in the main true to the actual happenings. Clifton Webb's acting job was top notch. A good spy stroy based on actual events. | positive |
1 | A Classic British WWII Film | This film showes the Brits as the Masters of faking out the Crowns Enemies. It also shows that not all the most effective fighting involves fix bayonets and charge. | positive |
0 | I'm glad the man never was, I wish the movie never was either! | Adopting the story of operation "Mincemeat" from World War II, this movie shows the details of a very successful mission to deceive the Axis alliance.Though an intriguing story, the performance seemed cold and boring. It just made me think that a great story has been ruined. | negative |
0 | Dull as Lead | Thirty minutes into the film, viewing it in w/s, I ejected the disc. I thought the characters were two-dimensional. I thought the script was hackneyed. I thought the direction was plodding. "Dam Busters" held my interest. "The Man Who Never Was" did not. | negative |
1 | Fantastic, because it based on a unbelieveable true story | If this was a fictional story it still would be a good story.The plot seems proposterous and not within the relm of reallity, but it actually worked and is credited with saving thousands of lives both American and British. Patton and Montgomery would have had a much harder time taking Sicily if not for this brillient p... | positive |
1 | The Man Who Never Was | This one of the iconic British movies from the 1950's. The story line and the cast were just magnificent. I have watched this movie many times over the years, mainly on late night television. I was surprised that the movie is still available. The story is based on true events from thne 2nd WW and this forgotten hero in... | positive |
1 | A good quality WWII movie bases on a true story | To think that British Intelligence created this allusion to fool the Nazis during World War II is just magnificent. A ripping good yarn. Well done Amazon.com. This DVD is not released in AUSTRALIA. Making the purchase on line was simple, quick and easy. Regards Mr. T J SOMERVILLE, GAWLER EAST, SOUTH AUSTRALIA, AUSTRALI... | positive |
1 | Cheers for The Man Who Never Was | I had always tought of clifton Webb as that weird guy who starred only in The Stars And Stripes For Ever, A 1950's verson of The Titanic and Cheaper By The Dozen. He comes a accross as a brilliant ex attorney, an Hercules Poirot type almost, trying to think one step ahead of the Gerries in this wonderful espionage thri... | positive |
1 | An exciting World War II movie | I rate "The Man Who Never Was" as an excellent and exciting World War II movie. Why can't movies be made like this anymore? Recent World War II movies are not accurate and place too much emphasis on effects. In my opinion, the more "special effects" a movie has, the more fake it is. Anyhow, "The Man Who Never Was" desc... | positive |
0 | Incredibly slow, boring thriller based on a fascinating true story | I couldn't make it past the first ten minutes. It's that bad. I ordered it after reading Operation Mincemeat. The film is a sort anti-Ken Follet film--not the eye of the needle but the eye of a tunnel. No suspense, just boring dialogue between cardboard actors. Clifton Webb and the glorious Gloria Graham (in a bit part... | negative |
0 | Live Suprise! | This is a Live CD, which I did not expect since the product info does not specify that. I like some Live music but this is not what I wanted. Order a different one. | negative |
0 | Wrong item! | After receiving the cd in the mail, I opened it up and played it, and swore they shipped the wrong cd. This cd is Live, and they don't tell that in the details. It is also a poor version, even if you like Live music, I don't think you will like this. | negative |
