It took me 3 weeks for me to finish, when good books take me a few days, at the most a week. The only reason I finished it was because I just need to see the ending. It was very slow, the best part of the book was the last 10 pages. It dragged it didn't really have a point.The best book Eric wrote was Cheaters. His newest books are not as good, they are in a way pointless. There were a few good moments, but nothing to make you cringe for more. You are better off borrowing this book.\n", "output": "neutral" }, { "input": "Title: Very Pleased\nText: While in France this year, we were drinking this brand of coffee every day for two weeks and very happy to have found that it was available here.

I like some of the songs (more specifically Outfly, Tara Lowe, J&R Project, Dee Dee, Kate Ryan, Hannah-Rose, LAAVA) which is the reason I put up with the other ones.

Would not be a good choice in Veterinary practices because it comes loose too easily and would put people in danger.\n", "output": "positive" }, { "input": "Title: Beginner's Camera\nText: This camera works very well for people who are just learning how to use digital media. It has a 5x digital zoom, but no optical zoom. This means that there is no lens to give a clear picture when the zoom is in effect. In other words, the pictures come out looking far away without zoom, and with zoom, they look blurry and pixely. However, I have gotten some excellent pictures from this camera since I got it in December. It's just difficult to take more advanced photos. I would definitely recommend this camera to a beginner, but for serious picture takers, get something else\n", "output": "neutral" }, { "input": "Title: I NEED...!\nText: Asao, a middle aged man, wants to have sex and comes to the conclusion that he needs a car in order to get laid. He buys a car but his plan is futile, which causes him to think that he needs a cabriolet in order to achieve his goal. This plan fails, which moves him to think that people who flie first class get to have what he so badly wants. However, he has run out of money and is in debt. This leads him to conspire to rob a bank and from this point on his troubles increase and it seems like he has lost focus on his goal.

I don't know much about reggae and after I did some research on it, and read a lot of reviews, I thought this would be a great introduction. I have not grown tired of listening to it! Most of the tunes are really great, they are classics, and I like all of the tunes. I only skip over a couple after I've been through the CD at least once (in one sitting) and want to hear some particular ones again. I do not hesitate to recommend this as an album.

There is nothing but talentless no-name rappers and singers throughout and just forgettable tracks, one after another. There are only 3 songs out of 16 that are worth keeping and actually have replay value, I still enjoy them to this day. Of course it's because they sound like some effort was put into them by great rappers like KRS-One, Nas, King Tee and an actual song with Dr. Dre on it.KEEPERS:East Coast/West Coast KillasBeen There, Done ThatStr8 GoneThrow the rest in the garbage and press delete.\n", "output": "very negative" }, { "input": "Title: The Not Quite Right Path\nText: The Right Path tells you the tale of Morgan James, who is visits her friend in Greece while on vacation, and Nicholas Gregoras, a secretive man that lives there. While this is a okay story, it is far from Nora Roberts best. I found the characters lacking, they seemed to be two-dimensional to me, more Nicholas than Morgan but not by much. At times I found my attention wandering from the book and had to get my focus back in on it, usually N.R.'s books' keep me riveted page by page. I think the main thing was that you didn't see how they fell in love, what made them love each other. You could see they had passion, but you didn't really get to know them all that much.

One of the likeable aspects of the book is that the characters are \"down to earth\" and they are not perfect. This makes the reader feel comfortable. There are several things to be learned from reading The Outsiders, one is that one should learn to understand, accept, and be kind to your enemies.

It is a short, easy read with some practical tips on disciplining your children. May not be as useful for parents of very young children (toddler years). I liked the way she gives examples using different aged children from 3 to 12 years old. Many of the ideas are not profound, but provide a fresh approach to methods you may already be using.

I would have preferred that Franklin focus more on the out-of-box control than the DSS (a vendor) Winsock control.

However, I was very disappointed with how they were made. I wear them for work daily, and I work in an office, so most of my day is sitting and brief walking. The black covering on the heels and soles is peeling off and it looks really crummy. I invested extra money into buying this particular brand because I thought they would be well-made and comfortable.

God, what was her editor thinking of, to let this through? Cliche after cliche, dialogue that's supposed to be tough and kick-ass but sounds phony instead: it's like someone put Anita Blake, Eve Dallas, and Spencer in a blender and pasted the result on the page.There are a LOT of people out there now who are writing tough women, and all of them write better than this one; I suggest you read one of those, instead.\n", "output": "negative" }, { "input": "Title: urk\nText: Freakishly bad writing.

Most importantly, it keeps odors in check! My son has started solids & his poops now get so stinky that the whole room will smell for a while after a changing but I've left several bad diapers in the pail & haven't had an odor problem yet.

I found that Simple Green is slower but otherwise just as effective for spot degreasing. I need to let the Simple Green sit for 3 minutes vs 3 seconds for the Castrol Super Clean. It is too easy for some of the Castrol Super Clean to contact the painted surfaces around my engine, even when carefully using a rag. The Castrol Super Clean also irritates my skin, but Simple Grean does not.Gunk Enigine Brite is also just as fast Castrol Super Clean, and does not fade my engine enamels.

He even goes to the extreme of discounting a story about his concern over his height exceeding the max requirement for space travel. I found many parts of this book enjoyable, but left feeling I had only been reading a whitewashed version purified for mass consumption. On slight hint at the \"real\" John Glenn may be revealed in his writing a letter to NASA in an effort to overturn the decision to have Alan Shepard and Guss Grissom fly in space before him.

The only two making them now seems to be Maxell and Sony. Been using Maxell for a couple years now and read several reviews that felt these 120 minute Sony's were the better of the two. I didn't find that to be the case. They are certainly no better. In fact the sound quality is not as good as Maxell and the Sony \"clicks and ticks\" while running. We do listen to a lot of soft, quiet music so it's more noticable and more of an annoyance for us. But the Maxell's do this also so that \"beef\" is just a wash. It's not a deck problem either as the clicking is still there whether it's being played in my JVC, Teac, Technics, or either of my Pioneers.So they are just OK and because we are so limited now as to brands to choose from, we must accept it.Thanks,MR\n", "output": "neutral" }, { "input": "Title: No plot\nText: This movie was terrible.

(Example - How the mess kits were cleaned by using mud.) I can also state that the glossary of terms used by Tommy Atkins was both amusing and informative. Tommy by the way was a very cynical and humorous sort of fellow. While this book is not as good as Robert Graves \"Goodbye to all that\". Which also is part of my library. On the other hand, Graves could not not write about the others ranks point of view since he was always a Commissioned Officer in the Royal Welch Fusiliers.

Some of these moments come off as overly melodramatic to almost borderline camp. The true saving grace and what makes this film worthwhile is Nicholson's performance. Revisiting the role of Jake later in life and to see how much more jaded he is and not nessesarily wiser. This film does tie into the first very directly and that surprised me a bit.

The authors characters seem to be totally different people. Next with the addition of Luke and Leia's foreplay, I almost couldn't stomach the implications. Even after taking into account that the author did not know where the story was going in later movies, I found his writing style difficult to enjoy due to its simplicity and lack of good character development.

Most of the characters and situations are described or implied in other Dune works. In most cases, they are not better served by being fleshed out.

I feel the same frustration and worry she does, but this book just didn't do it for me. The author simply tried too hard to write like a teen would, in my opinion. The recent pop culture references fell flat, especially considering that most of them relate to 'flash-in-the-pan' fads.The cliques came off as over-exaggerated. Of course there are cliques and groups at my high school, but none are so blatantly obvious and territorial as these.The characters were often extremely annoying to me, as well, especially Jessica. She came off as too self-righteous, passing off almost everything and everyone as a waste of her time.All in all, I thought this book was okay.

There are selections for pop, jazz, rock, classical, etc. The only negative things I can say about it is that occasionally it skips and gets stuck when playing a CD much like the old phonographs with needles would do. This does not happen very often though and perhaps it is not the machine but a CD that has not been taken care of properly. Also, it can be a little complicated figuring out how to turn it on and getting the CD to start to play because there are so many buttons. Keep the user guide handy.

Since I was researching the Regency when I purchased it I was a little disapointed to find that it's focus is primarily the latter part of the nineteenth century (1830-1890), and is based primarily on American publications of ettiquitte manuals. I was delighted to discover a wealth of information about everything from dance steps to party preperation to elaborate flirting rituals that can be caried out with parasols and gloves. It certainly says everything Emily Post might have at that time as well as providing a vivid picture of society in a bygone era. A must have for anyone enamored of the Victorian era and usefull still though slightly less relavent for Regency fanatics.\n", "output": "neutral" }, { "input": "Title: What happened to Huggies?\nText: I used to only use Huggies for my newborn because they were the only ones that didn't leak with newborn poop.

I just fell in love with the raw,edgy feel of it; and I searched for that sound for 25 years.The Doo Wop Box is a must for any serious rock 'n' roll collector. When I listen to it, I marvel at the energy in the music -- and how the recordings have withstood the test of time. The archivists at Rhino really outdid themselves compiling the song list.

David performs original, jazz and classical compositions on this disc. Original pieces Blue Counterpoint and On the Way are refreshing and uplifting. David's arrangememnts of Birdland and Spain are funky and exctiting and his performance of Bach's 6th Cello Suite is also dynamic and expressive.

It has an old style charm, as it was written in a time when martial arts books were not well edited. There are numerous cases of broken English in the intros. It was never re-edited in later editions. In a way this adds to the allure of the book, but its also distracting. Thankfully, most of the book is pictures. :)I get the feeling this book would be much better if they took all the photos and made a flip book. Seriously. It can be very difficult to follow the forms here, based on these static images, no matter how many there are. They need to be seen in motion. I'd rather see this on DVD, than in a book. As a book, its lacking, despite it's authenticity. A book is a training tool, and it gets three stars because it falls short of the many solid, modern texts on martial arts that exist today.\n", "output": "neutral" }, { "input": "Title: Nice!\nText: Just bought this and applied 3 coats to toenails and one coat to nails on hand.

So I thought I\"d check out another of Zooey's works. Unfortunately \"500 days\" is a rewrite of the age-old \"belle dame sans merci\" with a few strokes of color and music for added interest. \"Summer\" is a cold, distant, yet exciting young woman who easily captures the misguided passion of Gordon-Levitt's character. As she sends him mixed signals, he becomes more smitten, until she suddenly breaks up with him. The end has a redeeming twist in which Tom realizes that he wasn't exactly the attentive lover that Summer needed, and their chemistry wasn't all that perfect either. Save for that flash of clarity, the rest of the movie is a sickening ride through the angst of unrequited love, which I didn't particularly enjoy.

If you're using an old slow card, and not a high-speed Lexar or Sandisk Ultra card, you can notice the difference in upgrading to a faster card! If you take photos in rapid succession, the write time is much faster, and maybe even battery life is longer since the camera spends less time writing. (Of course, the quality of your photos will remain exactly the same.)However, the USB card reader that comes with this Lexar card is NOT compatible with other brands of flash cards! It works fine with the Lexar card, but DOES NOT WORK with other brands such as my Sandisk or Canon cards. Keep in mind that if you have a USB 2.0 port, and a USB 2.0 device, your photos will transmit from your camera to your computer MUCH faster.

Kiedis continues in the vein of californication's 'around the world' and 'scar tissue' with his voice seeped in bittersweet. The mix is strengthened by double tracking of guitars and extensive use of keys time checked by solid percussion backing.

He has put out plenty of great, if lesser known, songs in the 80s, 90s and 00s, and only one is included here. I don't like to base reviews on what's lacking, but in this case its pretty evident. Regardless, if you want a good sampling of JT's well-known songs and a few album cuts, or you want upgraded sound from your original Greatest Hits collection, you can't go wrong with this set.

The book left me wanting to know the stories of several of the other characters. My favorite Deveraux book is Knight in Shining Armor and that heroine was also showered with fortuitous circumstances. The difference between the two books is that in Knight, we have already suspended our beliefs and accepted the time travel so it isn't such a leap to accept additional beneficence.

It is a fine remastering. Just to compare, I went to my local library and borrowed the CD. My library has the Atlantic remaster of 1994 (Atlantic 82651). That is a fine remaster, too. I put both CD's in my player. The Audio Fidelity remaster sounds fine. But so does the 1994 Atlantic remaster. The difference is not that great. I think the strings in the Audio Fidelity remaster sound a bit richer and overall the album sounds, shall I say, brighter, more strident, if you will. And as I've noticed in a lot of remasters, the bass is amped up. But not the volume, thankfully. Many remasters are way louder, perhaps because of an improved signal-to-noise ratio.I'm not disappointed in the Audio Fidelity effort, but you can probably find the Atlantic remaster of 1994 at half the price of the AF, and the difference is almost indistinguishable.\n", "output": "very positive" }, { "input": "Title: If you haven't read it, read it!\nText: I can only echo the praise of other reviewers.

The previews for The Ladykillers made it look like a charming, Southern US, caper film. Sure enough, there were plenty of grey-haired folks in the theatre. I can't imagine they expected the constant MF swearing from one of the chracters.This is a remake of the 1955 hit UK film of the same name starring Peter Sellers and Alec Guiness. The new version relies on repetitive gag humour and the clash between a conservative Christian woman and a foul-mouthed, \"hippity-hop\" criminal, to get most of its laughs. Some of the other supporting cast members are nothing but dumb cliches (big, dumb jock, quiet, sly Communist Chinese General, etc.) Tom Hanks plays the role of ring leader as if he were a cartoon character.There's really no intrigue or really good humour in this obvious Cohen Brothers sellout.

I honestly wonder if the coroner was as mentally diluted as Treadwell. The man seems to almost relish in the gore while he overacts throughout the entire scene.

Boy, was I disappointed! The plot of the family being poisoned, and the surviving family living alone in the big house had great potential, but too much time was spent inside Merricat's crazy head, instead of explaining all the other characters and the story. What we have in this book is a tale of a young woman with obsessive-compulsive disorder (and who knows what other mental illnesses) and her sister-who seems to have co-dependency problems.

On a more positive note, Julie Christie, despite popular opinion, was true to her role and even a bit frightening, which can be expected in this particular story. Oskar Werner, whom prior to this film I had never heard of, put an amazing amount of depth and passion into his role, yet managed to retain the sense of dividedness that is necessary for the character of Montag.

Through Huck, Twain tells his opinion of slavery and shares his own moral values. Because this is a realistic book, Twain can convey his thoughts and morals to readers of every level, not just highly educated scholars.

Her high-pitched, moody vocals are always compelling. This 1991 recording represented a shift in her career: that's when she decided to leave her usual label to be able to sing what she really wanted and the way she wanted, with much more restrained arrangements than before: here just piano, cello, charango and percussion. And the result is really great, since Zizi's voice is so melodic that it doesn't need much orchestration. The repertoire ranges between heartfelt ballads and more raucous rhythms. Some of the best cuts are the exquisite cover of Chico Buarque's \"Eu te amo\" and her very personal version of \"Com que roupa\", a Brazilian classic from the 20s.\n", "output": "very positive" }, { "input": "Title: What Government?\nText: It is astounding how learned and educated people, like Professor Wills, can spend years reading the Founders and yet miss the main point: that an arbitrary and irresponsible government, such as we have now, where administrative agencies write, enforce, and judge their own laws, is the very definition of tyranny.

Unfortunately for them, and ultimately for us, the albums they are producing are sounding strikingly similar. Rather than being true to their roots, many are releasing cookie cutter albums that are attempting to appeal to the same target audience: younger teens who watch Idol. Being a somewhat older viewer, I was looking for Katherine McPhee to release a CD solidly rooted in what I loved her for, standards and showtunes. Elliot Yamin's strength embraced jazz and R&B flavored compositions. Although there are sprinklings of these styles, his CD appears to be, and Katherine's as well, a compilation of various styles with no strong thread throughout. Chris Daughtry and Kelly Pickler excepted, this mishmash of styles may appeal to the young viewer, but I think I'll pass on building my American Idol collection in favor of the tried and true singers of the American songbook.\n", "output": "neutral" }, { "input": "Title: Mixed\nText: I have used this system before, so I know my towing safety will increase.

Although this process took some time due to the nooks and crevices, it was so worth it! I sanded the pieces and put it together first, then stained and varnished it.It turned out great and is very sturdy. I have it on a flat kitchen floor surface, so I have no worry about it tipping over.

And it is indeed true, Lowe wastes little time with remorse. However, as opposed to that previous reviewer, I have to say that there was something joyfully intoxicating about Lowe's lack of guilt.

I actually think in the books that Monk is presented more obsessive and compulsive and more difficult to deal with than on the TV show. This storyline gives Natalie a little romantic bit too. And as always, Natalie is telling the story from her perspective. It actually gives you insight into Natalie's thoughts and feelings as she moves through her days with Monk that you don't get from the show.

I liked the way he explained the risk factors we here of so often, and the way they are related to diet (which nobody ever really has explained yet). The only thing I didn't like about the book, was that there are no recipes to follow. In reading reviews on his other book, about losing weight, people said the same thing.

All of this is really besides the point, for the heart of the book is in the prose, poetry really, that the author sets down with richness and sensuousness that is rare in a young writer. Each sentence is meant to be taken in, chewed and ingested for its own content and beauty. As it is poetry, the tale itself unfolds slowly, the facts of the story subservient to the panorama of the land and sea, and the motion of the plot secondary to the loving description of the coast where it takes place.This is a serious book, which leaves us hoping for more good literary news in future works.\n", "output": "positive" }, { "input": "Title: Absolutely Pathetic\nText: It is first of all sad that I had to rate this book with one star as the minimum as it does not even deserve that.

The sound is terrible, the dubbing is unintentionally hilarious and the film is presented in full screen (pan and scan).So why did I give it three stars?

All of the woman have strong personalities. The main flaw in the book is that Jerin, the male protogonist, is supposed to be a young male approaching marriage age. He vacillates between being a juvenile and an adult male.

I have bought and thoroughly enjoyed each song on every album these guys have made. Except this one. Who's idea was it to make a CD with half the album dedicated to reliving the 60's. At any moment I was expecting the next track to be \"White Rabbit\". These songs could have easily been sung with the a-ha chemisty we all know and love. But the psychedelic channeling of John Lennon, Jim Morrison, and Grace Slick just doesn't work for a-ha. The whole love affair that Paul has for the 60's sound works for his other band Savoy, but completely fails for a-ha. The first 6 tracks are the a-ha signature sound, but the last 7 tracks are just a \"long strange trip\" to the 60's. I understand that a-ha's sound needs to progress and evolve, but this CD is de-evolution. That's why it's named Analogue.

The music was hauntingly beautiful, and a good amount of the rest of the songs on the CD are in the Sarah McLachlan vein, but without the wailing or desperate longingness in the voice. Here, the singer's melancholy is revealed through soft, but clever, lyrics, and a soft, hushed voice that seems to mask a lot of pain, suffering, and trials, but with enough hope and faith that there is still something good to sing about yet.

The big problem with the movie, however, is that it just doesn't flow right. It bounces around too much and is not focused enough. It's just not very interesting, although it recovers some toward the end when the allies entered Paris. My 2-star rating is based on the interesting ending (it was 1-star up until then). I must say that the black & white nature of the film allowed the film-makers to blend in historical footage of Paris during that time period.

Neither of the Marilyns particularly ignites me though as neither really reminds me of Marilyn.The rest of the storyline advances and personally I would like to see a lot more emphasis given to the Angelica Huston role and the obnoxious director's role.

This plot is hard to follow at times and sometimes I don't think the author is aware of what he wants the characters to do. I have read his later books and know he can write a good thriller.

The Great Gatsby provided a nice window for looking at the pre-depression era of the 1920s lifestyle on the east coast, and also portrayed a vibrant narrative of a love-stricken psychotic fool within all of us given the right circumstances.

But there was just enough interest in the story line that I kept going, and overall it ended up being worth it.The prose style is choppy, sort of like Cormac McCarthy but without the paragraph spacing. The use of historical characters is believable and the storyline surrounding 'Coalhouse' Walker was gripping.Beyond the weird prose and the need to incorporate various descriptions of bodily fluids, I also didn't care for the appearance and then disappearance of characters that initially seemed to be 'main'.

The most notable one is that Gordon came up the Chesapeake as a commodore with a small fleet very similar to the one that Hornblower led into the Baltic. (What the author finds suspicious is that Forester wrote a naval history of this period that glosses over this incident, perhaps due to the similarities with Hornblower.)

Not that there is really a problem with religion, but there are others topics in life that could be addressed. I wouldn't want to listen to a CD that was all about how the singer got dumped by his girlfriend and how he can't live through life anymore or how he was picked on in high school and he is still depressed and angry, etc. etc.They did, however, become a bit more lyrically creative than their self-title album.

The technology is completely implausible, the plot is nonexistent, and the characters are poorly developed. (If you thought the characters in the first MI lacked depth, wait till you see MI:2).

It just arrived yesterday, but instead of a boxed set with an episode guide, it's a black dvd case with 2 plastic trays inside to hold all 4 dvds. No episode guide, just the season 3 slipcover. It looks like someone put this together out of their home.

It is difficult to digest. Have a pen ready with lots of ink- you will have to make your own notes to make sense of it. I have only read 130 pages and was forced to buy another text to fill in the gaps. Too bad- the other text is quite good (Murach's Beginning VB) but this is not the book used for my class.

I taught a recent course on feminism and politics using Lorber as my main theoretical text, but found that its definitions of the different kinds of feminism were analytically muddled. Rather than clarifying differences between Marxist, liberal, postmodern and other feminisms, the descriptions blurred the distinctions and failed to emphasize the ways in which liberal feminism has been challenged on different and sometimes competing grounds by the alternatives. The result may reflect reality--feminism has become an eclectic mix of ideas--but the lack of clarity about how each type emerged and why makes the book less than helpful as a basis on which to build a course.

Perhaps the highlight of the book is David Tibet's short but sweet essay on his personal relationship with Ligotti, including an excerpt from an amusing letter which Ligotti apparently wrote after watching the horrible \"Mars Attacks\".

I can't help but get all mushy when I listen to her ballads, and the way she gets just enough twang in there to spice things up. She does a good job of getting you to think about what really matters in life, but makes it fun!

I remember Nina Novak in the chorus, and she had charisma. You watched her. When she was given more important roles, you continued to watch her.

Instead of the complicated machinations that were present in the 1990's series, every episode consists of Batman stopping a villain from his lame, predictable scheme. Even the intro theme song sucks. However, there are some watchable episodes in this series (especially in the later seasons). I liked the Batman-Superman team up (when all else fails, that's a good way to get ratings).

The seems on the bumper in several places had come undone and the ribbon edge on the comforter shrunk so it looks all bunched up in the middle.

I picked it up chiefly due to a reference Scorsese makes to it in A Personal Journey. Certainly, Divorce Italian Style is a farce but the emotions and events it contains are ones with which all of us can relate--even though none of us have a need for a Italian \"divorce.\" One also can appreciate the mystique which European films had--as compared to the more stodgy state of American cinema--during that period. I've always loved Marcello Mastroianni and his efforts here are outstanding. He plays his role perfectly and is a figure of both contempt and admiration. All of the acting, however, is great. The plot unwinds slowly but does not end predictably (on the whole).

He coveres all the basics: fairies, nursery rhymes, dressed animals, mermaids, teddy bears, Santas, Krampus, nudes, death fantasies, Halloween, Hold-To-Light, and a whole host of other types of weird and wonderful subjects.As well, Mashburn gives us a comprehensive history of postcards and collecting, covering the seven eras of postcards. He discusses the various types, how to date them, grade them, and value them. Since the book was written in '96, his prices do not always reflect current online auction prices, but that's understandable.

I saw him a few nights ago on Conan O'Brien where he said that the reason O'Reilly doesn't do USO tours is because O'Reilly has no talent.

By itself quite a feat. However, what truly bugs me is that for the SIX WEEKS before the battery actually went dead, an annoying little icon had been blinking in my taskbar, warning me that the battery is low. It's good to know that in 6 weeks I'll have to replace the battery, but I'd really prefer it if I could switch that icon off. If that wasn't enough, at irregular intervals (sometimes only ONE MINUTE apart) a blue little window (the size of a big stamp) moves into view, ALSO telling me my battery is low.If I'd known this in advance, I wouldn't have bought this keyboard/mouse set.\n", "output": "negative" }, { "input": "Title: my favorite oldham album\nText: but not my favorite palace album.

I know music is personal, but Blunt is tripe. But here, with Mr. Oldham, I could understand how opinions could defer so widely.

The only dicovery she makes is that it is not who she thought. It is one of those movies that you think they finished in the middle. It has some good sceens and I personally liked Demi's performance. The funny thing was how Demi got her first and the only suspect - by pure intuition she was so sure about it.

Markus' music is strong enough to where he doesn't need that many vocals.He's a tremendous producer and the music on here shows it.

Even their #1 hit single \"Just My Imagination (Running Away With Me)\" was their last with Eddie singing lead & Paul taking the bridge. Unfortunately, Paul didn't sing a note in other seven tracks, neither lead nor background. Simply because he was battling depression & alcoholism that ruined both his voice & dance steps. Eddie was singing lead in most of the tracks, like \"Gonna Keep On Trying Til I Win Your Love,\" \"Man,\" and \"Smiling Faces Sometimes\" (better than Undisputed Truth's version).

I actually don't know much about Larkins but on this CD they complement each other very well and lay down some beautiful interpretations of these standards. Braff prefers the darker sound of the cornet (vs. trumpet) and Larkin's uncomplicated style provides a perfect river for Braff to navigate with interesting solos but ones that (fortunately) never stray too far from the original melody.

This CD starts off with a cornball version of a swing tune called \"She Walks Right In\", but about half way through the tune Clarence Gatemouth Brown throws in an awesome guitar solo that foretells the rest of the CD. This CD introduces the listener to one great Blues artist after another and most have that awesome brass section that makes great blues performances seem even better.

The author captures, in a gentle way, the nuances of personal thoughts and human interaction.For me, there was only one weakness in this work. Ms. Laurie appears to have a misconception of men's feelings, particularly as they relate to women. On occasion, it appeared that one of the mechanisms the author uses to differentiate men from women is to have her male characters use vulgarity somewhat gratuitously. Although, in general, this work had less vulgarity than many others. Her representation of the inner thoughts of her male characters did not ring true, at least to this male reader.None-the-less, this is a marvelous work that holds your interest, leads you to care about, and feel you know, its main character Vinnie Miner, and is a hard book to put down.Highly recommended as an \"outstanding read\".

Practically the only song that has a good flow from eminem on encore is \"Mockingbird\". If this cd has flows like that with the same exact beats I would easily rate it with 4 stars. \"Mosh\" is clearly the best track, which has a good flow, good beat, and good focus. Other than that song it seems repetitive. His chorus' are weak and corny and last too long.

He can be subtle when the song calls for it (\"Strange Transmissions\") and then cut loose on something like the Stones-ish \"Things You Don't Have To Do.\"I thought Ms. Jones sounded a little like Janis Joplin before, but with this material the resemblance is even more noticeable.

Certainly the only one worth buying in the Sharp line (255-450-650U). The Viewscreen and remote are good. The Zoom is terrific, and the CatsEye feature is pretty amazing in dusk lighting, but the daylight picture quality is only comparable to 8mm in my estimation and 12 years experience with two previous Canon 8mm camcorders. I expected better, but even with 460k pixels it is grainy, and only marginally better than my old Canon 8mm cameras with 270k pixels. The Still capture is again very grainy, and painfully slow browsing thru the thumbnails (now shopping for a still camera). I hope the camera is more durable than indicated by some other reviewers.All in all - it is a good cheap replacement for my broken Canon 8mm, but it is not a step up in video quality that a more expensive Canon ZR30 might be. 4~5 stars for value, but 2~3 stars for \"digital\" quality.\n", "output": "neutral" }, { "input": "Title: Great prayer tool for mothers\nText: It was a little confusing at first but now that I've figured it out I love it.

The 'stretchie' is used during the 3 mile walk close to the end; it is not used at all during the 4 mile walk. Leslie does talk quite a bit...I don't find it annoying. It isn't one of the hardest, but I feel great after I'm done. You can boost it easily by stepping wider, bigger arm movements, jogging during the walking segments. It's also good for beginners as it is not TOO strenuous.

No romance whatsoever. Roseleen was an interesting character but she spent most of her time trying to right the wrongs of the time travel mistakes they encountered.

I do agree with some of the money flow theories Williams proposes, which is probably the most clearly explained and substantiated part of his trading theoriey.

I guess I missed that last part of the story (and thank God, the director did not dwell on the sensational element in the story). For me the film was about the relationship between two sisters, music, and death. The only criticism I do have is Ms Dupre's passion for music is not adequately covered; and in its place we get her dis-passion for her profession. Had the director confronted the passion aspect, he could have then woven the trilogy of concepts - human relationships, music, and death - into something awfully profound (but then again, perhaps this is something only Shakespeare could have pulled off).

If the Black couple in this book just truly did not get along and the Black Woman was a nice person it would not of bothered me but I get sick of these Black Men with these Racist attitudes toward their own women!

I'm only 5'4\" tall; and between the short handle and oddly curved rake, I really have to crouch down to get the perfect angle so I can catch my prey. It really should not be that difficult.

Both are rated 'T', but as far as I'm concerned Jak II has it for a more logical reason w/it's realistic guns and bad language compared to Ratchets cartoon-type guns and no bad language.

I use these headphones when I,m working and I have to look down a lot. The over the top of the head type band always fell forward even when I made them as tight as I could so a behind the head type band was the logical step to correct that fault.The RP-HG10 falls short in that even though it has the \"XBS\" extra bass system that the RP-HT21s do they do not have the same level of bass. The RP-HG10 bass is almost not there even when I turn the bass all the way up.

There's also a tough Bond girl (Carey Lowell) who has to compete for attention with the villain's girl (Talisa Soto). One thing I couldn't understand: Lowell's character is portrayed as tough and independent, yet at times, she's whining that she doesn't get enough attention from ol' James.The biggest problem is Dalton. Like The Living Daylights (which is the worst Bond film ever), Dalton is dry, and displays none of the class, style, or sly humor which Connery, Moore, or even Brosnan have displayed.

Now, one can argue that Goldsworthy's works are a reflection of mortality, or words to that effect, but isn't it easier to say that what he does is just beautiful art. And at a time when the stereotype about artists is that they are mostly bitter, pretentious, often mentally unstable people who live in decrepit urban settings, Goldsworthy seems to be the opposite: a stable, unpretentious, family oriented person who loves nature and lives in a small village in Scotland.\n", "output": "positive" }, { "input": "Title: For All Of You Kenny G Fans\nText: This man has been singing the same song for about 30 years now.

For songs like \"Boyfriend\" and \"Eyes Wide Open\", she pratically screams all throughout both songs and ends up sounding more like a hyena than a singer. Overall, this CD is pretty average.

Any successes or victories for the characters must be coming sometime in a future book (which I'm sure I WILL buy).\n", "output": "neutral" }, { "input": "Title: Prayin for a Great book...found it!\nText: I was in the library and I saw the cover for the book a Feast for crows.

With two, the vestibule gives you a fair amount of space for backpacking gear.I've camped out in this a number of times in snow, rain (light and heavy), sleet, and fair weather so I've put it through some trials.The vestibule design is a little aggravating because when it's raining, the overhang is so small that it allows rain to get into the tent. Also, the zipper is all the way at the end of the canopy and it difficult to reach without rubbing against the canopy, again another issue when it's raining or snowing.On our last campout, I started to have an issue with the seams stretching and subsequently leaking at the corners.So, if it's fair weather, light raing, or snow, I don't mind using this tent at all.

Box weaves together environment and Wyoming history to tell his story. You will know who the villain is early on, but Box manages some good surprises nonetheless.The only quibble I have with the books is one I've seen elsewhere. Pickett is just a bit too self-effacing.

I like the kind of CD that jumps out at you, that leaves you no choice but to listen to it again, and again, and again, and to just leave it in your CD player. This CD wasn't like that. I heard this was a good Christian band, but it doesn't even sound that way. If you're looking for a GREAT christian CD that is actually different and sounds really awesome, I'd recommend Dogwood's \"Building a Better Me\" or Relient K \"Anatomy of the Tongue in Cheek.\"\n", "output": "neutral" }, { "input": "Title: Not everyone will find it funny.\nText: This film is a situation comedy based on laughing at people in awkward situations.

Nobody is entirely innocent in Martin Scorsese's remake of a film noir thriller from the 60s. This moral complexity and intense work from the talented cast, which includes Jessica Lange and Juliette Lewis, make for an involving suspense film. A major drawback, though, is Scorsese himself, who indulges in some jarringly self-conscious effects and choppy pacing. These flaws become less apparent as the film builds momentum toward its powerful climax.

I purchased the meduim stiffness one and after trying it a few times for twisting motion I gave up using it. The twisting motion creates too much friction on palm of my hands and after a few minutes my skin starts burning. Now I only use it for flexing which works better without skin irritation. However, the flexing motion range is rather small and starts too easily and ends too hard. It is just a small range of motion that the resistance is just right. This is a problem with all spring-like devices as opposed to dead weight resistance.

The final chapter which discusses Freedom and Intimacy I unfortunately felt sold the idea of marriage pretty short.

It treats the confounding of the languages at the Tower of Babel as literal history, and is full of anachronisms that easily prove it to be a work of fiction based on 19th Century ideas about native Americans. For example, there are references to iron, steel, brass, metal pieces of money, wheat, horses, chariots, and elephants in an ancient American setting (approximately 2,400 BC to 400 AD) which are consistent with 19th Century rumors and theories, but simply do not fit within the catalog of scientific knowledge available today.\n", "output": "very negative" }, { "input": "Title: Are there no Outlines?

The novel culminates with a Keystone Kops execution scene that is almost as hilarious as the one in The Two-Headed Eagle, a scene that sums up the sense of existential futility with which suffuses The Emperor's Coloured Coat.

I guess the most major is language. The dialect of the boys, although entertaining, overshadows the story itself to some point, and is little more than a device to smooth over some of the rougher areas of the literature. Despite that, it was a good, even touching story despite the raw violence that seemed to jump off of every page. Yet despite their raping and beating and killing you manage to feel some compassion for the boys. I won't give away the ending, but in a mark of true fiction, you find the signs of a character who is dynamic both inside an dout in Alex, the leader of the boys. I think it is a good book because it takes a satrical look at the side of society that is too often ignored, although perhaps not so much satrical as just a magnified projection.

The purpose of protein is to fuel the rebuiling of the muscle tissue you break down in the gym.

For some reason, it installs not one, but two versions of QuickTime (2.12 and 3.02). The interface, which is supposed to resemble a car's dashboard, looks straight out of a Dali painting. The reason QuickTime is needed is for two annoying \"guides\" that pop up and talk to you, which is totally unnecessary... why not just let us READ what you want us to know?

Police Detective John Rebus is a rounded human character, and Edinburgh makes a colorful backdrop to his stories, which are generally well plotted. However, \"In Black and Blue,\" Rankin was just a little too ambitious. There are enough plots and subplots for five books, and he isn't always deft at juggling them. I often found myself scratching my head and flipping back pages to remember who a particular character was (there are a dozen major police characters alone). This is a major distraction in a mystery novel, which should be read full steam ahead. The plot strands involve gangsters, drug dealers, rogue cops, the oil trade, and two (count them two) serial killers. The denouement of all this is far from satisfying: the strands don't come together as neatly as a reader would have wished.I'm still high on Rankin, but I wish he had turned this one into two separate novels (perhaps \"Black\" and \"Blue\").\n", "output": "neutral" }, { "input": "Title: Speakers\nText: I bought them to go with a new television and they would not hook up to it so I sent them back.

I'm no Bronte scholar, but the style didn't particularly remind me of Bronte (and I've read all of her novels, some multiple times), and the subject matter was far more overtly feminist than Bronte ever allowed herself to be.The novel traces the lives of four women - Sarah (the \"Miss Miles\" of the title), Maria, Dora, and Amelia - focusing particularly on their efforts to gain economic independence and thus on women's role in society. Perhaps fewer heroines would have improved the plot, as it was a little confusing to be constantly switching viewpoints and plot threads.

The story functions as a vision quest. A young girl in American suburbia with a bouffant mother, an assinine (and threatening) stepfather, tries to use her art to reconstruct and resurrect her lost and damned sculptor father, and doing so, finds herself. The surreal symbolism is effective with its many references to the underwater world, mating walruses, sharks, drowning. The bathtub where the sculptor father drowns becomes the sea from which the reborn heroine emerges. Brilliant, cerebral, risk-taking writing from the most innovative young writers of our time.

This book recounts his climb of Nanga Parbat in 1970 with his brother Gunther and a team formed by Dr. Karl Maria Herligkoffer. It is really Messner's explanation of the events that led to Gunther's death on the mountain, illumintated by his grief over the loss of his beloved brother. Of course the disputes over these events will never be resolved, many of the participants are now dead, but Naked Mountain is an act of contrition and catharsis for Messner more that a readable tale of adventure. The language seems somewhat dated and artificial, but I suspect this is due to translation issues. Overall I would rate this book a moderate plus for readers of mountaineering literature.\n", "output": "neutral" }, { "input": "Title: 2 GB Memory Stick\nText: I needed more memory to store things in my cellphone.

I'll be the first to admit that the conception of the book was undoubtedly clever, and must have taken a good bit of work. But just as it's not possible to make a cake without decent ingredients and it *is* possible to make a horrid cake despite the best ingredients, The Knot Garden turns to compost in this author's hands. The book is a mystery, yet as we near the end of the book, there is no mystery left to solve, and along the way, no Aha! moment. One needn't be clever to figure the thing out-- once the clues are in place, a six year old could untie this unsavory glop. And ultimately, with everything and everyone revealed, there is an overwhelming sense of \"So what?\" for the reader to take home. Rarely have I disliked a book so much that after finishing it the only reasonable thing left to do is throw it in the trash and try to forget ever having read it.

As such, it is as Truman saw himself and the world.Arranged chronologically, the reader is taken through this remarkable life, the challenges Truman faced and his views on issues and personalities. On these pages we read Truman's uncensored opinions on MacArthur, Ike, Marshall and generals in general, Dean Atcheson, Richard Nixon, the presidency and a host of other topics. Here we learn his conviction that the U. S. has never had a crooked president and that \"The only thing new is the history you don't know.\"There are other, better, first biographies to learn the facts of Truman's life.

My first read of the ARC gave me hints of depth and metaphor that stretch far beyond what I normally expect of a first time author, and required a second reading. Rarely do books of this genre offer more than a stage for the sexual fantasies of socially stunted teens this one, however, offers metaphoric discourse on race, prejudice, homosexuality, HIV/AIDS, and gender issues. Yet, unlike most books that strive woodenly for a social relevance, this book also offers a very solid story that holds the reader from cover to cover. The book is unusually short for a modern fantasy offering, (which is in itself quite refreshing) and the author goes straight to the story without a lot of self-indulgent fluff that seems to be the earmark of most current urban fantasy novels.

The maps are very restrictive, with narrow pathways (you can't walk through wooded areas) channeling you down one or two directions in every level. This left me feeling claustrophobic.The levels make the game feel more like an old 1D side-scroller than a modern, open-ended \"3D\" game.

Mr. Modesitt also presents a large stock of characters with whom it is easy to relate, especially to the main character because the first person narraration allows us to know what he is thinking and identify with him.

Picard shows the kind of moral leadership that we all crave from our leaders. Patrick Stewart is so convincing. His focus is so intense.

In the end I just felt like this movie was sub standard slash that did not have enough staying power to make me feel like it had any value to be viewed again.

I would recommend these to anyone who is looking for great sound for a great price.\n", "output": "very positive" }, { "input": "Title: Find another edition.\nText: I have three complaints about this edition of Tocqueville:1) Nowhere in the book is the translator credited. This violates basic principles of publication and scholarship.2) This is in fact an abridged version of the original English-language translation by Henry Reeve, dating from sometime before 1862. Unless you want to re-create the experience of a modern Frenchman confronted with de Tocqueville's somewhat archaic French by reading the text in somewhat archaic English, I would seek out any of the more recent translations: there are at least three.3) The ellipses, that is, the abridgements, have sometimes been made to conceal some of the author's less flattering views America. In fact I suspect this is a \"patriotic\" abridgement. For example, in the second chapter of part one, Heffner has omitted references to some of the excesses of Puritan law in New England which the notoriously even-handed Tocqueville had cited.\n", "output": "negative" }, { "input": "Title: Last Ounce of Courage\nText: This Movie is a Must See for All Families in the United States of America!

True, it's essentially a rip off of Stephen Chow's Shaolin Soccer with a basketball theme, and not as well done, but it was entertaining. That being said, it did have several slow parts, and some rather cheesy plot points, not to mention very overt deus ex machina type resolutions, but nontheless it was entertaining. Worth a watch if you have the time and nothing better to do.\n", "output": "neutral" }, { "input": "Title: did not fit\nText: This did not fit my 10 foot pool.

Don't even think about it.\nText: I have seen many bad movies and have liked some of those, but this is in a league of it's own.There should be a real hard beating given to the makers of this movie and I for one would change my name if I were in this flick.I paid $3.00 for it at the Mexican swap and shop and the illegal that sold it to me is feeling pretty bad about now knowing it was $2.99 to much. You will be better off slamming your hand in the car door then trying to set thru this one. Story: what story ?Acting: some of the worst I have ever seen.

This piece is not sturdy enough for adults and I'm sure children would snap this earpiece/earphone off. It is under pressure when the headphones are worn, and this is the weakest link when it should be the sturdiest!

Big hassle if you're doing laps/repeats in the pool. You've either got to slam the button, or nearly stop your training and push the button hard. The audible beep is barely audible so you end up pushing the button several times...which gives you a few laps of 0.2 or 0.1 seconds. Hard to get a good average lap time when you throw in some extreme low values like 0.1 and 0.2.\n", "output": "negative" }, { "input": "Title: Below average\nText: some of the production is good most of it is pretty dull and trite. Her singing? Non existent...its more electronica than a musician slash vocalist - britney will sell becuaseh er image selss simple - why even bother argueing those merits...she has a a whole brigade of brainwashed kids who want to worship someone and they have found a willing idol. On average its better than her first three albums - however thats not saying much there is no breakaway single in this set. The best song is toxic and its not that great - its an average track -----I listened to all the tracks and was not smitten with a single track - I suggest Outkast - now that album I instanteously loved - an album shouldnt HAVE TO grow on you - but even then In the zone wont hold you for that long - GET OUTKAST!!!!!!!! that album is eclectic and amzing!\n", "output": "negative" }, { "input": "Title: Sony Wireless Headphones\nText: Good product.
