Is this product review positive? Title: very good phone Review: pros:--good overall sound--excellent speakerphone(very clear, reasonably loud, and easy to carry on conversation from both ends)--screen(bright, full color, larger than most (160 X 120 pix)--intuitive interface along with mouse stick for navigation/gameplay/volume control.cons:--built-in email client useless because it usually fails to connect to retrieve or send mail (only connects 1 out of 10 times).--flattened keys do not allow keying by feel, forces you to look at phone to do things like voice dial, end a call, or turn on/off speakerphone or on/off mute. Answer:
Yes

Review: but then again, i still miss the motorola startac i originally got with my sprint deal. i'm not too big on accessorizeing my phone, so i could care less if there's no mods or leather carrying cases available for this model. i live in san francisco, so only thing that i'm looking for is reception. i had a samsung a460, probably the worst phone on the market right now (most of the other samsungs seem cool, but stay away.... far far away from the a460). the hitachi is great, as far as reception goes. my calls no longer consist only of my friends complaining about not being able to hear me. the volume on the phone is pretty good. the only complaint that i have, and this seems to come up with a lot of phones recently, are the selection of ringers that come standard. overall though, this is a quality phone. the only people i'd tell not to buy this phone are those who need analogue... the hitachi's single band. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Key West Review: This was a completely annoying book to read. The heroine was a wimpy, unappealing person. She was described in the book as sweet, but she was boring and uninteresting. I can't believe Stella Cameron came up with such a disappointing story. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Don't waste your hard earned dollars on this wall-thumper! Review: What a sorry excuse for romantic suspense. There was no suspense as the villians were revealed in the first chapter. That being the case, one would expect a well crafted storyline, characterizations and sense of place to carry the burden. No such luck. The characterizations were one dimensional and irritating! The plotting and dialogue were erratic and extremely annoying. The only marginally admirable aspect of this entire book was the sense of place; Key West itself was the most engaging character in the book, although that's not saying much. If there's anything I hate more than wasting money on a book, it's wasting my precious reading time on a wall thumper such as this. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Mystery/Suspense-NO WAY Review: I thought this was going to be a Romantic Suspense Novel, but what I read was Romance (i.e sex) and not much suspense, not even a really good plot. The Cops and PIs did not follow any of the accepted rules of investigation-follow the money, look for the paper trails. Sonnie is not a heroine I'd want to look at twice. This book left a lot to be desired, unless you enjoy reading about bed hopping. The ending was predictable, the characters two dimensional and no plot to keep me reading. Bad bad bad. Thank Goodness this was my first, and now my last book for this author. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Disappointed Stella Cameron Fan Review: I am about 3/4 of the way through this book and debating aboutfinishing it. I found the writing to be confusing, as with otherreviewers I thought I kept skipping pages. Totally could not get into this heroine. I keep wanting to slap her, how stupid could one woman be. I too figured out ALL of the bad guys from the very first. This book was too obvious. Ms Cameron does reveal some of her villans quite early, but usually there are some twists and turns. I recommend you find some other romantic suspense to read, and avoid this one. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Key West - a sad and mean story Review: A disappointment. Although it has an attractive Key West setting and a potentially interesting plot, the story wandered and never made much sense. Overall the book has a rather nasty and unpleasant atmosphere, a result of the author's throwing in just about every rotten thing she could think of, including: the physical, sexual and psychological abuse of women, murder, arson, child abuse, kidnapping, drug and alcohol problems, infidelity, thievery, actual and implied violence, insanity, sexual perversion and torture, voyeurism, harrassment, extortion, legal and medical malpractice, homophobia, cruelty to animals, automobile accidents, physical disabilities, hurricane warnings, bar brawls, terrorists, the Mafia, you name it. Ugh! What's the point, and why bother? Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Don't plan on sleeping till the end! Review: Sonnie and Chris have a lot of baggage but it makes the story tense from start to end. You fall in love with both of them. Sonnie is so brave and she doesn't lose her sense of humor even when she has to deal with people who want her out of the way. Chris is strong, but Sonnie makes him stronger while he gives her more courage. All the characters in the book are alive. Some of them you love and some you hate, but every one of them is interesting. I really like Roy and Bo--and the guys at the bar. Sonnie's sister is creepy! The car chase had me biting my nails--it was great. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Stella Cameron has a blockbuster hit! Review: Sonnie Giacano has returned to Key West with a mission. To find out what really happened to her eight months earlier on the night she almost died? Chris Talon, an ex-cop, is a man haunted by his own nightmares but is drawn to Sonnie, despite his desire to keep her at a distance. Soon situations arise which leave Sonnie questioning her sanity or is something more sinister happening? Now it is even more urgent for Sonnie to discover the truth with Chris' help before they both lose their lives.WOW! KEY WEST is an action packed tale that is romantic suspense at its best. Stella Cameron transports the reader to steamy Key West then takes us in a roller coaster ride as we try to figure out what happened to Sonnie and who was responsible. We are also introduced to a secondary character and his "barbie mobile" whose story will be told in Glass Houses, a July 2000 release. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: A complete waste of time! Review: I would give this book a negative if I could. It was without a doubt the worst book I have read. It started okay, but after the first chapter or two, it went downhill fast, and never redeemed itself. This was the first Stella Cameron for me, and I had read such good things about her. Boy! What a let-down. I did however buy a few of her historicals, and they were better. But under no circumstances should anyone read this mess! Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Lacking in Suspense-Predictable Review: I enjoy romantic suspense novels, but this doesn't really qualify. The guilty parties are revealed early in the book and the one plot twist is predictable. The romance between the main characters is not very believable, but the secondary characters at the bar are well-written. The sad thing about this book is that the reader wanted the secondary characters more fleshed out and the main character of Sonny to just go away. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Don't Bother Review: Not only was this book boring, I found it extremely difficult to read. The paragraph structure has the reader jumping from one thought to another in every sentence. The characters were presented as either completely unbelievable (the sister and Romano) or incredibly stupid (Sonnie). About halfway through the book I asked myself how this author could say so little in so many words! Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: greaet funk but what' s that fake piano sound??! Review: Cant help myself but there is this cheap 80s electric piano sound I never got used to. When you have the choice between a grand piano sound and some poorly sampled sound I dont know why to go for the latter?! That spoils the whole experience to me. Band is good and grooves nicely. Snare is kracking in particular! Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Excellent book! Review: Peterson provides the most thorough account of the Black Hawk War to date. He approaches the subject with even-handedness and without agenda. In the Utah Historical Quarterly, Sondra Jones accused Peterson of being too biased in favor of Black Hawk at the expense of Brigham Young. On the contrary, Peterson shows Young to be a well-meaning, but flawed human being. He points out the relative level of peace that Young was able to maintain in Utah (when compared with other territories at that time) and does not shield the reader from the atrocious violence perpetrated by Mormons, gentiles, or Indians. This will be the standard for scholarship on the Black Hawk War for a long time to come. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Must read 4 those interested in American West history... Review: A fascinating read, especially for people with ties to Utah and for members of the LDS Church. How unfortunate that this story has remained largely untold until now. There were sections that could have used more solid references. I am a direct descendant of James Andrus who is mentioned several times in the book, and some of what was written in this volume contradicts some fairly well-documented family history, but overall this book is wonderfully presented. This is essential reading for anyone with an interest in the history of the American West. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Better Buy Review: I Also saw this - great - movie, and the soundtracks the were interesting enough for me to go over to Amazon to check out the album. But when I saw the comments, no thanks. I don't know which artist has made the intro, but the outro is a remix of songs taken from the album 'The Private Press' by DJ Shadow. I've got all his albums and you can buy everyone of them without listening first! Answer:
No

I now know who performs the awesome trailer song but could someone tell me who performs the song "Operator". I know they are real street singers, but can I get a hold of their music? I realize it definitely would not be through the obvious source of the movie soundtrack - too bad! Answer:

Where's the cool drum & bass beat in the beginging of the movie and the cool closing song "Six Days" during the end credits? Both of these songs I was hoping to get and arn't on this soundtrack. I don't want boring draggy scores. If your going to make a soundtrack.. PUT ALL THE SONGS FROM THE MOVIE ON IT! Answer:

Kinda disappointing...I DO know the name of the song in the trailer though! It's "The Shame of Life" by Butthole Surfers. I recommend that you get the whole album on which this song is on: Weird Revolution.I wish that song had been on this album, though... Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: A New Masculine Southern Voice, its Love, Care, Concern and Gothic Horror Review: Don't let the fact that this man is bullpen coach of the Atlanta Braves keep you from reading this book. (Let it surprise you, but don't let it deter you from buying and reading this book.) This guy is good, real good, and the stories he tells, and the manner in which he tells them, rank with the best of recent Southern Fiction....The love, care, concern and classic gothic horror of Southern Fiction, and, at times, real life in the South is within these pages. A new Southern Voice telling Southern stories in a masculne, manly, way. No frills, no nonsense, straight to the heart and soul of us all, especially us Southerners. We understand and so does Bobby Dews. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: DVD is not NTSC Review: First, I must say that the music and video of the concert are absolutely first rate.The problem for some folks will be that the DVD will not play in all DVD players. The disc is formatted for Europe - region 2. This means that the North American video standard, NTSC, was not used.As mentioned in the previous review; you may own a player that reads all regions, however most players are not all region enabled.The second option for playback is to use second party software to convert from PAL, region 2 standard to NTSC and burn a new DVD.That is the option I used. The minor drawback with this method is that the Disc Menu will not function.This recording does merit whatever means are necessary to acquire and view/listen. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Outdated information. Review: This book is good if I only was into filmmaking back in the 1980's! All of the written information are on film obviously as the book is written back in the days, however I would consider this as a film history book or a film reference book.If you are looking for books on nowadays film techniques, this one is definitely NOT what you are looking for! Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Good buy Review: This product worked great for me because I do not have enough room for a coffee table. It arrived quickly and was very easy to assemble. It did have a scratch on the surface of largest table, but I covered that spot with my phone. It was a great deal for the price and good quality. I would recommend it to others. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: You get what you pay for Review: Tables arrived packed OK, and the dimensions are as described.However, the color really doesn't have any red in it, as the pictures and description ("merlot") would suggest. It is more of a walnut. In addition, the table tops are not well-done. One has a gash in it. Another is not completely finished. And a third has not been completely sanded and is rough in a section. Finally, there was no hardware in the box.Given that the contents had been resealed, I suspect that I had received a returned item. I picked this up on the Friday Sale for about sixty bucks, and it is going back. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: fell asleep Review: I tried to watch this. I fell asleep. I did not find anything redeeming about this movie.

No

Is this product review positive? Title: GARBAGELAND Review: This is a movie which never should have been made. I watched it a second time and disliked it more. Based on this a third viewing would have been ill-advised, and the ideal number of times to watch this film is zero.The most disturbing character is played by Lisa Kudrow who spends all her on-screen time self-righteously wagging a finger at everyone but herself. After watching this festival of the bad -- both acting and dialogue -- I took a Prozac and snorted a couple lines of coke. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: the extras are better than the actual film! Review: Presumably the director made this film frantic and confusing on purpose, to better simulate the world as seen through the eyes of coke addicts.Even assuming that to be the case, though, the technique wasn't successful. Tremendous demands are made on the viewer: unless you know a great deal about the Wonderland murders, you'll simply be on the wrong foot for virtually the entire film.Unfortunately, if you DO know something about the Wonderland murders, this film has little of interest to add.What's really great about this DVD, though, is not the film itself, but rather the feature-length documentary that comes on the second disk: "The Life and Times of Johnny Wadd." This is so well done that it alone is worth the price of admission: it will tell you all you ever wanted to know about not only John Holmes, but the Wonderland murders as well. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Dazed and Confusing Look at Graphic Murder Case Review: I had read a few things about this bizarre case before seeing the film but "Wonderland" basically goes nowhere fast. The story is presented in two versions - neither of which make a lot of sense. This is an ugly story of drugs, sex, and blackmail that revolves around the totally unattractive but well-endowed porn king John Holmes (Kilmer, in a dizzying performance). The supporting players range from a tattooed and over-the-top Dylan McDermott to Josh Lucas and Eric Bogosian doing their standard sleazy guy routine. The best performance in the film belongs to an uncharacterically subdued Lisa Kudrow as Holmes' suffering wife. This film reminds me of Al Pacino's ugly "Cruising" and it is'nt better. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: NOT Boogienights...don't be fooled... Review: This film tries way too hard to be cool but ends up luke-warm.It truly does not succeed on any level. John Holmes is the "star" of the film, but he is the least interesting and most two-dimensional character here. I did not find myself engaged in the story or caring about any of these characters. An attempt at tension or dramatic suspense just fizzled for me.What is of interest here are the extras on the DVD, including an unbelievably graphic and grisly crime scene video. Now that was engaging... There is also an interview with Dawn Schiller, Holmes' then teenage girlfriend. Even though she seems to be cashing in on her connection to the story, it is always interesting to hear from the real people.Forgettable as a film -- somewhat intriguing as true crime. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Dull, Plodding and Uncertain, It's Bad on Many Levels Review: Val Kilmer plays a drugged-out, bottomed-out John Holmes in this loose retelling of 1981's brutal Wonderland murder case. In presenting a number of competing perspectives on what exactly led to the killings, including several mildly different interpretations of the same scene, the idea is to leave ultimate judgment to the audience. Instead, the lack of conviction just results in a hazy, jumbled, inconclusive mess of rumor and uncertainty. Kilmer is miscast as the shady, self-serving loser at the end of his rope, and keeps trying to turn on the charisma when he should be cowering and sniveling. His big-name supporting cast only produces similarly phoned in performances, while a glut of gimmicky after-effects gives the whole picture the kind of sparkly, overproduced sheen that's usually reserved for car commercials. A drab, ambiguous, morally-vacant jumble that rides its barely-famous subjects' coat tails for as long as it can. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Interesting but no big deal .... Review: OK so the movie pushes the concept of Holmes and his fame as the premier porn actor but that's not what you are going to get... What you do get is his sordid and very very sad drugged out life story presented to the viewer in almost a dyslexic and disjointed late night news program ....Out of respect for Val's acting skills I gave the movie 2 rather than the 1 star it so justly deserved ..... Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: a complete understanding of John's life Review: The movie is good, not great.However, if you want to understand and inform yourself about John Holmes,this two-disc set is great.The second disc is a documentary that explains John's life through interviews with the people that knew him (manager,wives,co-workers,etc.).It is extremely interesting and honest.It runs close to two hours.I suggest watching this disc first and then the movie.Otherwise, you see only the Wonderland murders part of his life in the movie and not the whole picture.One of the special features on the first disc is the actual police crime scene footage of the murder scene.It is lengthy and quite gruesome.I am surprized that this was released for public viewing.This set runs for about five hours and if you are interested in the life of John Holmes,this DVD is superbly informative. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Few Actors Better At Real Life Roles Than Kilmer Review: Though "Wonderland" has its flaws...I am a sucker for period pieces and I will say this is a superb movie..mainly due to the strong performances of Bosworth, McDermott(I dare you to identify him w/o help), Kudrow, Lucas, others and of course Kilmer...This guy plays real life roles better than anyone!! The story of the gruesome, and they are gruesome Wonderland murders is told in Rashomon style but this movie grabs you and doesn't let you go...Superb music from the late 70's and early 80's as well..if you also look hard enough you'll notice a cameo by filthy rich princess Paris Hilton...This movie was very underrated in its theatrical release but now it should get its due on DVD...buy the DVD...you get like 5 hours of total footage..including a very graphic LAPD crime tape...very graphic...The Johnny Wadd Documentary...which is priceless..Deleted Scenes..Trailers..Interviews....Commentary..man it's got it all...check it out Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Great movie! Review: I love this movie! Val Kilmer is so good as a strung-out junkie and the rest of the cast performs just as well.

Yes

I had seen the movie "Wonderland" when it was in theatres back in Oct. but the release of this two DVD set with all the extras like the LAPD crime scene video and the documentary WADD:The Life and Times of John C. Holmes has tremendously enhanced an already great movie!Great job Lions Gate! Answer:

Is this product review positive? Title: Another Look At Johnny Wadd! Review: This movie is a look at the life of John C. Holmes after hisstar had lost it's luster in the world of porn.During the 1970'sand 1980's Holmes was called a legend in the world of porn.Thismovie shows his cocaine addiction and the unflattering state of his life.The star who demanded and got paid top dollar for hisstarring roles in porno movie had become a deadbeat dopehead.Hewas keeping the company of thugs who had a strong desire fornarcotics.This group robs a notorious hoodlum named Eddie Nash.Holmes helps Eddie Nash break into the living quarters of thegroup that committed the killing.Holmes is tried for murder andfound not guilty.He died of aids in 1988.This was an interestingtale on the Wonderland murders.John Holmes was not the king of porn in this movie.The role of hid wife was also well played.Watch this movie.It is very informative.

Is this product review positive? Title: Make sure you get the 2-disc set!!!! Review: There are two different releases of this out there. One is the movie (with, I think, a few extras) on one disc; the other is a two-disc set which includes the documentary "Wadd: The Life & Times of John C. Holmes". Watch the documentary FIRST, as "Wonderland" will make a lot more sense and be ten times more enjoyable if you do. That said, "Wonderland" is a fantastic, gritty film that I can count as one of my all-time favorites! Val Kilmer is so good as porn star John Holmes, you won't believe it. Lisa Kudrow, Kate Bosworth, Dylan McDermott, and EVERYONE in the cast is outstanding! Watch for a cameo by Paris Hilton as well. Everyone chews the scenery in this realistic film that went unnoticed in theatres but is becoming a cult classic thanks to the magic of DVD! I can't recommend it any more highly! Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: An Excellent End to an Impressive Trilogy Review: I am sad to finish this trilogy, as I've enjoyed my time with the Vaidens over the past few weeks.The trilogy began before the Civil War and continued through to the first post-reconstruction generation. Watching the South fall, rise, and fall again, all through the perspective of one family, was interesting. I felt Stribling did an excellent job of creating this world and I will miss it.That said, I don't know that this book would stand alone. I encourage everyone to read the entire series and to savor the unique look into American history that it provides. Answer:

Is this product review positive? Title: As good as actually playing Review: this is a great game by EA sports. some of the only problems of the game are the fact that it doesn't have any rookies from the draft, so teams like Chicago don't have Patrick Kane or Jonathan Toews. also, playing in the all-star or superstar mode can be very frustrating. a simple bump by another player can cause you to lose the puck, but it is not reciprocal. you end up having lopsided shots on goal (one game i had 18 shots to my opponents 72!!) and very few minutes on the attack. my advice is to play in pro setting and change the game settings to more difficult. this gives it a more balanced game.other than that, there is very little to complain about. the graphics, gameplay, sound, and AI are all incredible. this is a must for any hockey purist or hockey fan.

Is this product review positive? Title: You Go To My Head Review: I can't add any superlatives that haven't already been said. This is a must-have recording. I just want to correct a bit of misinformation concerning Judy "messing up" the lyrics to "You Go To My Head". The so-called flubbing of a line of the original lyric ("I forgot the goldurn words") was not a mistake at all but an intentional bit of show biz "shtick" Judy was fond of repeating when she performed this song. It was like other apparent bits of "spontaneous" stage business that were actually planned or scripted in advance (like the kicking off of her shoes before sitting down and singing "Over the Rainbow" on the lip of the stage) and was probably intended as a sly commentary on Porter's wordsmithing. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: A Beautiful CD Review: The CD is a recording of the songs in the play The Beautiful Game. It follows a Catholic boys soccor team in 1969 Ireland. The story has wonderful songs with lots of excitement surrounding a winning season of soccor and the turmoil of the day. The lyrics on the company songs are a bit hard to understand and the dialect is sometimes different, but the CD is wonderful! The album jacket can help with the storyline and it is well worth the effort. I highly recommend this CD, Answer:

Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Off His Game Review: Even Andrew Lloyd Webber's lesser shows have an occasional song that is sweetly beautiful (even the rather dull Aspects of Love and the disjointed Whistle Down the Wind) but Beautiful Game seems to be lacking in even one song to grab on to. The lyrics by Ben Elton are pedestrian at best and far too repetitious (perhaps he was spurned on by the music). The performers themselves seem to be quite able, if not particularly distinctive. It does not seem the work of someone who has spent over three decades in the theatre. Lloyd Webber seems completely out of his territory with this material and only very briefly in the song If This is What We're Fighting For does the correct note of passion creep in but by then it is far too little and far too late as the listener's attention will have drifted by then. One can admire the composer's attempt to try new things but this should have been stopped before it reached this stage. Answer:
No

I'm into local music, so I gave the album an honest spin. After listening to what Stickboy had to offer, I defintely wouldn't wish this piece of turd on anyone. The band tries to attempt "bugglegum punk-pop" but fails miserably. Basically, the singe can't sing and the songwritting is on the same level of a bunch of 13 year olds in garage rock band. If it wasn't for a great manager these guys wouldn't be anything. Check out bands like Bowling for Soup, Simple Plan, and Sr-71 if you want some real good pop-punk. Hope this review helps!Eric Delgado Answer:

The system just slumps when you open an application as simple as windows media player. The CPU gets used 100% all the time and as the result the fan keeps running all the time and a ton of heat produced. I bought 1GB RAM to see if it improves but it didnt. As a last ditch resort, I downgraded the laptop to Windows XP Professional and it is good now. But the journey to downgrade also had its price. The drivers werent available from Toshiba website because they only support Vista drivers. Had a tough time searching through forums and get drivers for all the devices and get this laptop working.My Conclusion is ALWAYS buy a good processor like AMD or Centrino for windows Vista. If you are still bent upon buying this, all the best!! Answer:
No

Is this product review positive? Title: In a word: Disappointing. Review: After using my friend's iMac to edit Mini DV video, I finally decided to buy an editor for my PC. Using my Canon ZR10 camera, I have acquired a lot of footage and had no editor.After the package arrived today, I went through the easy installation and booted up the program. I captured some video from the camera, and immediately was disappointed. Don't be fooled by the "DV" in IntroDV. A more fitting title would be "IntroMOV," because rather than capturing in DV format, the program takes your videos and puts them in more generic .mov format.I also noticed a change of the color of the video, which never happened with Apple's iMovie. I spent several hours fooling around with it, then decided I am going to stop screwing around and buy a TRULY functional DV editor: an iMac. If you're serious enough, don't waste the "$..." on this product--save yourself the disappointment. Answer:
No

Is this product review positive? Title: Bruno Sammartino: An Autobiography of Wrestling's Living Legend Review: I was very disappointed and the lack of candor in this book. After reading the (auto)biographies of such wrestlers as Lou Thesz, Freddie Blassie, Roddy Piper, and larry zbyszko, i felt downright cheated by Bruno's lack of honesty as to the real workings of Professional Wrestling. When events in his book have been documented in other books with an entirely different approach (breaking of the wrestling omerta - called kayfabe) - either Bruno refuses to admit to the reader that decisions were pre-determined - or that wrestlers cut themselves for blood - or perhaps he has convinced himself that things never happened to him - in that case he needs psychiatric help. Did i enjoy any of the book? yes - his disparagement of the McMahons <haha> - all in all I can not recommend this book to anyone who wants an honest look at a career of a pivotal wrestler. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: wrestling then and now Review: When you look at wrestlers (male or female) today, it looks completely staged. Then I read how the sport of wrestling was fought years ago, it gives you a whole new outlook on the sport. I thought wrestling was always a circus act. Thats not so. When you read Bruno Sammartino's autobiography it very interesting to learn that wrestlers truly earned their world titles as a result of their hard earned talent. I can not watch today's actors in the ring. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Bruno Is Great but book is just not accurate. Review: I love bruno Sammartino but for bruno to not mention and deny that razor Blades were used back then is just bolderdash.If your going to write a book thats fine and I understand that bruno does not want to break kayfabe but in todays world Wrestling fans are some of the smartest people there are and know through books like Jimmy valiant and Interviews from people like Abdullah the Butcher,fans know razor blades were used and alot.Bruno himself had to have used a razpor blade at some time because he bled greatly in his matches with killer kowalski,Billy Graham and Stan hansen,and even hansen in interviews has stated that bruno bladed in there matches in MSG.So even though I love bruno he should come clean if hes going to write a book. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Great gift for Wrestling Lovers Review: Great gift for Wrestling Lovers. Bruno Sammartino is one of the most heralded and respected Heavyweight Wrestling champs of all-time.Hardcore wrestling fans will love to read this book and newer (and younger) fans should be introduced to one of the all-time greats who wrestled in supremacy through the 60's and 70's (one of the longest running WWF champs of all-time) Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Great laptop, great value Review: I use this laptop as a traveling IT project manager and business consultant. This machine is a great performer. The monitor is bright, crisp and color is great. Unfortunately, it didn't come with the option of bundling Office 2007 products with. So, budget for an extra $300 once you have purchased Office and Antivirus, etc.Now for the good part, when I am not using the laptop for work, game on! World of Warcraft is my recent addiction. With the settings almost maxed out, the frame rate is fluid with no flicker or freezing. Just dont try this with a power source. Gaming in High Performance mode will suck the battery dry in a skinny minute. The nvidia 7600 graphics card is an important option for anyone who intends to game or anything that requires intense video.Used the bundled software to burn mpeg movies to DVD. Worked perfectly at 2x.Wish HP had included on-board bluetooth. I had to buy a Kingston bluetooth dongle for $30. Answer:
Yes

When the Carol of the Bells began to play, I realized just how awesome this band really is. It's a truly beautiful CD with VERY COOL versions of some classic songs. It's too short (I would have loved a 2 disc set of this stuff) but SOO worth it. Moe. is always very exciting to hear and I'm glad they reached out to the holiday music genre. Answer:
Yes

Is this product review positive? Title: Classic album from an underrate band Review: Great album from a great band. "This product is manufactured on demand using CD-R recordable media" according to Amazon.This does not say on the product details.

Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: CD is not as good as I rember the tape being Review: I liked this when it came out in 1980, but either I got more sophisticated (doubtful), this got worse (hardly), or it was just pure crap to begin with (most likely). The title song is really good, but the rest of this is just awful. Especially Liar, which gets on your nerves as one of those songs that you wish would just end already, as it just repeats the title over and over again. A five minute song that is four minutes too long. This has not aged well, CD is not as good as I remember the tape being. Get the Witchfinder General CD's instead, they held up better. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: WHAT A DISASTER !!! Review: I bought this paperback in a hurry, trying to find a workbook or something to help me structure some option trades. WHAT A DISASTER THIS BOOK IS. I have never seen such a poor attempt of writing a book. It is an absolute failure to address the subject. I cannot imagine anybody who had ever tried to start options trading, ever getting to first base after reading this tome. It is verbose, rambling, negative, and filled up with the perils of trading options. I was just astonished with the amateurish tone, and the lack of useful material in this book. And then, you wonder why Amazon is showing this paperback for sale at $133.00 (some weird type I guess). Just amazing. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Awful Book for Stock Options Review: This is just awful as it fails to give graphic examples of stock options. The author just blabs and blabs without any coherance. I bought this book to shed light on this confusing subject---it confused me even further! Go to the CBOE to get crystal clear answers to most of your options questions. There must be better options out there!!! Answer:
No

Is this product review positive? Title: Bad DVD leads to bad Amazon experience Review: Short story: I purchased this DVD but the DVD wasn't even formatted correctly. I tried the DVD on several players and on 3 different computers (Apple & PC) and the DVD never worked. The DVD was bad. I emailed Amazon about this. They told me they were going to send another with the correct formatting for free and well, the whole thing was a disaster. 15 emails later and a lot of confusion and stupidity on the part of the customer service department of Amazon and I still don't have a replacement DVD. Amazon is great when the items are good and correct but their customer service sucks when things go bad.Don't buy this DVD, unless you want to go through the same nightmarish experience that I went through.

No

Is this product review positive? Title: A historical book Review: This is a well developed historical study. The footnotes are a bit distracting. The writing is very dry and textbook like. It is a difficult read and although the topic is interesting, it is sort of like swimming up stream. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: The Duchess Review: This book is more than, I expected and I can't wait to dive in day by day. Understanding what was happening in those days where very interesting. People expect to much even now. However, it is less of headache than it was in the era of their time. I could not have put up with it. Simply put. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: A Woman of Influence Review: As readable and absorbing as a great novel, The Duchess of Devonshire develops the story and character of Georgiana, a woman of great gifts and great flaws against the background of Regency England.

Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Not What I Thought Review: I love historical novels. This was by far one of the most uninteresting books I have ever tried to read. Put it down after about 40 pages and will probably donate to my local library! My daughter tried to read it and gave it back to me the following week. Answer:
No

No
Is this product review positive? Title: Impossible Read Review: This was a book club selection. I really, really tried to get into the book, but simply couldn't. After 100 difficult pages I just had to give up. Not even worthy of one star. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Almost too sad to read Review: If you already know how the story ends, it's difficult to watch her throwing all her gifts away. Beautiful, charming, intelligent, rich, well-connected: she should have been happy in spite of that stick of a husband. Otherwise, it's a wonderful biography. "Prince of Pleasure", Saul David's biography of Georgiana's great friend the Prince of Wales, is a good companion piece to this. Between the two, you get a vivid picture of life among the bon ton during this period. (And you don't have to feel anything like as sorry for Prinny as for Georgiana.) Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Absolutely Bloody Fantastic Review: I would like to congratulate Ms Foreman on a book that I could not put down. I can't wait to see if she writes another book. Please hurry up ! Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Georgiana: Duchess of Devonshire Review: The only bad thing about this book is that it's inevitably going to end. If you love superbly written and beautifully researched biographies and have ANY interest whatsoever in history, you'll want to add this one to your library. The author, Amanda Foreman, is a former freelance journalist, which probably goes very far in explaining why the story is so incredibly absorbing. It reads like a novel. Typically, I actually knit while I read. With this book, I finally put my knitting aside because it was slowing down my reading! I admit to minoring in history in college, with a focus on British history, but I've learned all kinds of information that I never fully understood before. (The author also has a PhD from Oxford.) The only other biography I've read that comes close to this one was also written by another Amanda ... Amanda Vaill's Everybody was So Young. If you appreciated that one, you'll probably love reading about Amanda Foreman's Georgiana. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Disappointing character development Review: I was so looking forward to a biography of Georgiana Spencer...this IS NOT her biography. It is a political discussion of the Whig party -the author must have thought a political book would not be lucrative so she cashed in on G's fame. There is no development as to why G's marriage lead to affairs on both spouses' parts. I do not have enough space to even begin telling you what is wrong with this book.DO NO BUY unless you want to read the biography of Fox, Pitt and the Prince of Wales! Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Interesting for both men and women Review: I am not entirely sure why I decided to read this book. But, after completing it I found it to be more interesting then expected. She was certainly and interesting character. I also enjoyed a picture of England during the period around the French Revolution. My history classes concentrated more on the French than the English during this time. It is also very interesting to see the treatment of sexual attitudes of the upper classes at this time. Particularly, her strange relationship with Bess and her illegitimate child.. Worth the read. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: AMAZING Review: Amanda Foreman is a star. She has written a perfect biography of a woman whose story captures the spirit of an age. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: I gave up half way through. Review: Even though I am a big fan of historical fiction and non-fiction, I could not get through this book. Too much politics. Not enough romance. My consolation was watching the movie, which took up far less of my time. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Perfect Biography, Disastrous Life Review: 18th Century is not my favorite period in the history... Georgiana is not the type of person whom I respect and admire... Still, the book, the way it was written, its style, they all kept me reading it until the end with an unprecedented zeal...This is a great history book, this is one of the very rare objective biographies, this is a must for all history lovers... Answer:
Yes

Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Engaging Review: I have to say that I watched the movie before picking up the book but the portrayal of the Duchess in the film was but a taste of what you get from reading the book.She lead such a interesting and complicated life that it definitely would have been difficult in choosing what to add/exclude from the feature film.The book was very politically heavy and even though it didn't really detract from the story,some of the passages tended to be long winded and a little dry.There was almost too much detail in some of the explanations about political parties and relationships and how they worked.I myself was more captivated by the passages that highlighted her personal home life such as the birth of her children and relationships with her immediate family/friends/husband.I also found the added personal correspondence of the Duchess to the various people to be an insight into who she was as a person and an added bonus to the narrative.Overall an interesting and recommended read! Answer:
Yes
