Is this product review positive? Title: FAILED Review: I bought this because it was supposed to be a higher power port and my old Belkin was shutting down about once a month. Well, the Targus shut down repeatedly in the first :30 minutes I plugged it in. I don't have any high power devices and was using only 5 of the 7 ports...but it continually shut down. i'm sending it back. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Works well. Data transfer is great. Review: Bought this out of concern for speedy and continuous transfer of music files while DJ'ing. I was concerned my last USB was failing, so I researched and purchased this item.So far, it is working just fine. My only point is that I do not see a difference between the USB ports that are powered versus the non-powered ports. However, everthing is transferring with stability. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Horrible CD Review: This CD was not worth the purchase price. I loved the movie and thought the soundtrack would make a nice addition to my collection. The onlygood song on the CD is the movie theme song, BLADES OF GLORY; sung byBo Bice. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Blades of Glory Review: The soundtrack had only one song from the movie. The title, that's it, all the rest was talking and unknown artists. Very disapointing Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Eh, not impressed. Review: For me, the only song worth owning on this album is "Dance Sucka" by T Ray, but they do not let you just purchase this particular track on MP3 (album only.) Ditto for iTunes as well.Not to mention the absence of "Flash Gordon" . Very frustrating. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: It's worth the price just for the title track Review: Just to hear Bo Bice sing that title track with that full, glorious voice, it's worth the price of the entire CD. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: You get what you pay for. Review: This is a nice toddler bed, my daughter loves it, but it isn't the sturdiest available. My kids have done a little bit of jumping on it without destroying it, but if you are looking for something more substantial then look at something else. With a little luck she will outgrow it before it breaks. If not then it was only $60. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: This Author always delivers....... Review: Barrett Tillman has written another great avaition book. He is a very capable and reliable author. This book really makes the carrier war come alive for me - the great build-up of US power that was eventually to swamp the Japanese empire in the Pacific. I am always left wanting more - so that must be a good sign! Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Lack of infomation regarding the deaths of Hellcat Aces. Review: The author stated that 20 Hellcat aces were among the 450 combat related losses. However, he did not go into further details or give more in-depth stories about those 20 Hellcat Aces. He mentions the deaths of three or four of the Hellcat aces but only in one or two sentences. It would have been better if Tony Holmes of the Hurricane Aces series had done the book about the Hellcat Aces. Answer:
No

Is this product review positive? Title: wonderful introduction to behavioral finance Review: I am the author of two books on investing, and Modern Portfolio Theory. I have become fascinated by the field of behavioral finance and did in fact include a section of it in my second book, What Wall Street Doesn't Want You to Know. I have read just about everything in this field, as I will have a book to be released in the Spring of 2002 focusing mainly on this subject. This book, along with Why Smart People Make Big Money Mistakes is a wonderful introduction to the field. The stories provided much insights into how we let psychology impact our investment decisions, most often in detrimental ways. I have to disagree with the one reviewer that said the author didn't provide solutions.While I think he might have been more explicit, I think the reader just missed the points. I would definitely recommend the book Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Look somewhere else. Review: I don't know what I was expecting from this book.Maybe I was hoping to read something technical on the psychology of investment. This book is not very technical. It seems full of specious arguments.This is not about investing. Maybe this is about speculating because most of the data is concerned with trading over days or less than a year. That isn't investing. It's speculating.I'm interested in investing. I want to know about long term actions.I can't believe how many labels are applied to the various "investment emotions" in this book. If the type was made smaller for each "label" the book would have been even smaller than it was. Drop the cartoons that litter the book and you've got a good size article and not a book. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Understanding investor psychology Review: For the first time, Investment Madness lays out the emotional and psychological biases faced by investors everywhere. The author is right, you can't hope to make money in the long run if you can't control yourself. This book describes the pitfalls we all face in an understandable and entertaining way. Even more important is that the book shows me how to avoid the problems! Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Too Simplistic Review: having read the author's newer book, "Investment Blunders", I was disappointed. The book is simplistic, with little truly enlightening information. A book that covers many of the pitfalls, and supplies the reader with material of substance is William Bernstein's, Four Pillars. I would not spend money on this book. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: A Dull Book Review: Reading this book was an absolute waste of my time and buying it was a waste of my money. It indeed pointed out how emotions and psychology adversely influenced an individual investor's decisions, but offered few if any solutions. Quite honestly, I found this book simplistic and childlike. Save your money on this one. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Fluffy and Cartoonish Review: Full of cartoons, chapters of 3-5 pages in length with proportional content, lots of white space in between, with text "call-outs" and even with all that publisher effort at filler the book only manages 169 pages--and yet fully priced at (dollar amount) just like serious books on investing. No book on investment psychology yet strikes the best note--most are too dense--but this one is too simple (surprising that this author is a university professor). Answer:
No

Is this product review positive? Title: Fun if you have time Review: This book has some FABULOUS recipes, but they are definitely for special occasions or when you have a LOT of time on your hands. You would not want to be trying to whip up one of these recipes on the fly, at 6:00 on a school night. Plus, the kids would probably turn their noses up at the unusual dishes. But, if you're looking for a special recipe for a special night, look here. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Excellent Review: The bunion splint I was given from my doctor was the only split I knew of at the time. I ordered this split since I needed an extra to wash and change on a regular time frame. I can honestly say that this was a great decision. This splint is most comfortable and easy to care for and wash. This product gets 5 stars! Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: The Food Doctor Review: I have a lot of nutrition and healing books, but I like this one the best. The layout of the book is very colorful, and easy to read. The authors are concise and knowledgeable, and they make using the book very easy. There isn't a lot of confusing data or medical terms either. Instead the authors state everything very simply, and make it easy to understand for the average Joe or Jane. There is a list of the top 100 foods, and I have found it very helpful when changing my diet. This book also has yummy and easy to prepare recipies, as well as sections on various ailments and what foods to eat to help remedy them. I found this book to be a great information source in getting healthy and fit. Answer:
Yes

Is this product review positive? Title: My second fav band after the Cure, but this can be skipped Review: I think it can be summed up with this: If you like TKK for albums like Confessions, then you may hate this one. If you like Sexplosion, you may be able to tolerate GB&M but it is < half as good. I have never put a disk in from TKK and not loved it, but this one.............? Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: It's about time Review: Finally a studio album, enough of the remixes and re-releases. I've been waiting a long time for a new studio album from TKK. I've read reviews that say it's a disco album and fans won't like it. I say BULL. If you like the TKK, you will like this disc. Yes it has a disco sound on some songs, but TKK has used that sound before. The music is great and I love it. Is it as good as "13 above the night" or "Sexplosion"?, no, but there is nothing else that sounds even close to this. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Great CD for a disco themed party! Review: My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult have released their much anticipated disco album Gay, Black and Married. The album has been considered "lost" for years. The group originally planned to release it close to a decade ago and now Rykodisc has released the disc. This disco CD is the funkiest CD's released this year. "Euro-Freak Hustle," will get any party started. The CD is refreshing from start to finish and the songs really capture the sound and feel of the late 70's disco era to a tee. "Freaky Fever" is a funky song that tells listeners to "shake that thang." "One Night Stand" is a hypnotic dance track. The songs are all original songs from Thrill Kill Cult with the exception of "Do You Wanna Get Funky With Me," which is a remake of Peter Brown's 1977 classic. From start to finish this is an awesome disco album and if you plan on having a 70's themed party this is one CD you should pick up. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Finally, no dribbling Review: All these other mugs I kept buying made me feel like I was drinking from a dribble-cup. This has been great. The insulation isn't bad, either... good enough for me. The only thing I don't like is that in order to make this a quality product, metal must be used, which means I can't throw this in the microwave for a quick re-heat (which I often have to do if I pour from a pot that's already been shut off). Take the good with the bad, I guess. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: It works Review: It does it's job, holds alot more coffee than your standard travel mug, is pretty well built and keeps it hot long enough for me to enjoy it. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Small base seems unstable when full of hot coffee Review: The mug keeps my coffee hot for a long time, Good. But the small bottom of the mug makes me feel like it could easily be toppled over and spill hot coffee all over my lap, Bad.5 Stars if this mug will live in a cup holder. 2 Stars if you drink your coffee by expensive computer equipment and are kind of clumsy. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: think again Review: Preheated cup, but it didn't hold heat for more than 3 hours in mid 30's temps while running errands. I had higher expectations, and they fell flat. Better off using the freebie from work--would have saved money. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Didn't last long Review: After only a few weeks of use the rubber washer in the lid distorted and now the mug leaks all over your clothes when tipping it too your mouth. It's useless.I'm looking into how to return it and it says there is only a partial refund available.Avoid this product. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: LEAKS (pours out -not drips) even when rubber in "locked" position. Epic Design fail!! Review: There is no way to prevent a leak unless its always in the upright position!!! for a thermos with a tight closing lid, this is the worst idea that I have seen in such an otherwise very nice product. what I am referring too is this small piece of rubber that you push one way to drink and another way to close (when not drinking) on top of the lid. However, even in the "closed" position the liquid still POURS OUT if tilted diagonally.. (that's only supposed to happen when the rubber is pushed in the "open" position.) again bad idea to whoever designed that piece at Thermos. I will try to return this for a thermos that actually becomes leak proof/spill proof when fully tightened & closed.P.S. I did order the 20 oz food thermos (same "work" line series from thermos) and the 40 oz thermos (both work line) and I am expecting that they wont have the ill-thought design that this product has. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Tippy-Tippy Syndrome! Review: I've had this mug for a couple of years, and I just hate it. I'm actually surfing Amazon this morning looking for a replacement. When full, it's top-heavy, and the design virtually guarantees that it will tip over.Whoever designed this surely was never forced to use it. Any mug should be balanced, or at worst bottom-heavy to avoid tippy-tippy syndrome. Avoid this one! Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Guaranteed to Leak Review: I bought this to replace another Thermos travel mug I lost. When it finally arrived yesterday I was excited but that all fell flat this morning when I arrived at work.I commute by bike and need a tightly-sealing mug since I carry my clothes and coffee in a bag on my back. When I unpacked today I found everything in my bag SOAKED with coffee. I examined the mug and found that no matter how tightly screwed-on the top is, it leaks profusely when tipped even the slightest bit.This might be OK if you can keep it upright, but for me it is a massive failure. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Most Diisappointed Order in Amazon Review: It's a bad travel mug for 3 reasons at least:First, its color is big different from what it looks like online. It shows purple, but it's ugly blue;Then, it leaks badly, as a travel mug? Leak?Third, its manufactured craft is not good as Thermos brand. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Just what I wanted Review: I had been looking every where for a larger capicity insulated cup to use on my tractor. The store locally said they were out of season. They said summer is over. Think about that a moment, the cups work with hot and cold. Also, I live in Florida, it's summer all the time. Anyway, I went to Amazon.com, and bingo, I found just what I was looking for.Dean Hendrix Answer:

Is this product review positive? Title: Just fair Review: I was looking for something that would keep coffee hot until lunch (3-4 hours). This mug only keeps coffee hot for about 1-1/2 to 2 hours. You have to (by hand) screw the top on tightly or else it dribbles. The lid and interior are plastic; maybe metal would work better? I expected more from a Thermos product. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Where's the heat? Review: I like the design of the handled travel mug. I am disappointed that it doesnt keep the liquids hot longer than 45 mins. The time it takes me to commute to work, my coffee need reheating. I plan to return it. Answer:
No

Title: Depressing for those who love to be cheerful Review: Karen Davis has made beautiful CD's with a lovely voice like her CD Yeshua worship and Sar Shalom CDs, but this CD is so depressing, not to mentioned her voice sounds like she has too much air stuck in her throat. Out of all her beautiful collection of CD's I was disappointed in the music on this CD. Music is so depressing, I guess it's what they call worship with your hands in the air and close your eyes, just pretend you are hanging in a cross.? Next time have to make sure I listen to the sample before I buy any more CD from anyone. Answer:
No

Is this product review positive? Title: zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Review: If you're looking for an album by the band that made the classic metal trilogy of Strong Arm of the Law, Wheels of Steel, and Denim and Leather, then look elsewhere. By 1985, THAT band had apparently been driven insane by their inexplicable lack of commercial success and decided to make a desperate stab at pop radio with this album. Although I can tolerate a few of these songs now that I'm old, the album as a whole is just flat out terrible and embarrassing. I am bewildered by all the rave reviews here, but even pop garbage has its fans. Unfortunately for Saxon, though, their fans in 1985 strongly disagreed with this new direction, and their prestige, along with the status they had managed to gain among metalheads, went in the trash for the next ten years. Recommended only for completists: there are at least ten Saxon albums you should own before this one. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: My least favorite Saxon Album from the 80's Review: I was a big Saxon fan back in the day and recently I just purchased the two box sets The Carrere Years and The EMI years. It was great hearing all of the albums again with exception of this one and Destiny. This was my least favorite one,of course with Destiny coming a close second. It's not bad when you're listening to the first couple of tracks but as I went further I realized that all of the tracks kinda blend together. Also I found the production of it to be pretty flat. Honestly there is nothing that really stands out for me on this album. If you're looking for some good classic Saxon I definetly recommend picking up The Carrere Years and not to bother with this one or the EMI years all together. Well maybe except for Rock the Nations, I have always had a liking for that one for some reason. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: No Excuse for Metal fans! Review: Saxon's no excuse was one of the best they madeduring the 80's. The songs and the production areexcellent. Songs like Devil Rides Out, Everybody Up,Rock n' Roll Gypsy are catchy rockers and of coursethe brilliant Broken Heroes! It was the 4th Saxon LpI bought at the time. it's one of my favorites. I losttouch with them in the early 90's but then Dogs of WArgot me into the newer stuff. The new Lp Inner Sanctumis one of the best they ever made! If you are into themor not I recommend this and the new LP. If you don't haveEagle has landed you aren't a true rock fan! get them now! Answer:

Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Dogs and People Will Smile Review: reading this book. The remarkable McColl winks back through the years at Virginia Woolf's Flush and pens the evolutionary update of all those dog adventure books that kids loved sixty years ago. Only a true doglover could write with such canine canniness about humans realizing their dreams by paying attention to their four-footed, wagging familiars. As one dog recently said to me after I'd read several pages to him from this book, McColl is the Babe "Ruuth" of dog/dream dynamics.--Robert McDowell, Author of a book due out later this year on poetry in spiritual practice.

Is this product review positive? Title: WELL EXECUTED WORK - THIS ONE IS A KEEPER Review: I loved the art work in this particular work and felt it captured the essence of Lincoln's speach perfectly. I certainly am not going to do a critique on the speach itself, I really don't feel I have the right to do so. But I do feel the author/artist, through his black and white woodcut techinques added much to this famous work. It is certainly a book I am glad I added to my library. I have also found the kids at school seem to have a great appreciation for it also. Highly recommend this one. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: A review of Format, Not This Amazing Speech Review: There are surely many who would like to own a copy of the Gettysburg Address. Read with an understanding of the times, one can't help but be moved by the eloquence of Lincoln's words, and the careful crafting that made this one short speech, so memorable.What I am reviewing here is the Free "Vanilla Electronic Text" version of the speech which is available for Kindle. Though serviceable, I can't recommend it. For whatever reason, the publishers have chosen to replace commas with elipses. So that you get:Quote:Now we are engaged in a great civil war ... testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated ... can long endure.REALLY?!?Available elsewhere, for free.Pam T~mom/history lover Answer:
No

I memorized it in elementary school when I was a kid. I already had the Gettysburg Address in the book with all 7 volumes of his writings on my Kindle that I got for under a dollar. I don't mind having just the Address by itself, but I wanted to see the pics. Oh well, maybe I will see the pics later or try to find them on the internet. It would be a lot better if I could see them on the Kindle. :) Answer:

Is this product review positive? Title: What a CROCK!! Review: This book perpetuates the out and out LIES surrounding the Gettysburg address.This quote says it all..."The Gettysburg speech was at once the shortest and the most famous oration in American history... the highest emotion reduced to a few poetical phrases. Lincoln himself never even remotely approached it. It is genuinely stupendous. But let us not forget that it is poetry, not logic; beauty, not sense. Think of the argument in it.Put it into the cold words of everyday.The doctrine is simply this: that the Union soldiers who died at Gettysburg sacrificed their lives to the cause of self-determination -- that government of the people, by the people, for the people, should not perish from the earth.It is difficult to imagine anything more untrue.The Union soldiers in the battle actually fought *against* self-determination; it was the Confederates who fought for the right of their people to govern themselves."-- Answer:

Is this product review positive? Title: simple genius Review: i read this briskly for my childhood psychology class decades ago. i reread it this week. the author discusses his plentiful observations on raising a child. while some suggestions are really common sense / It is exciting to note how his observations formulated later child and developmental and educational theorists. As a psychologist AND as a dad / this is an essential resource and ought to be read by anyone who studies childhood or works professionally with children and parents. It is unduly wordy as is typical of the era. I give it a solid A and highly recommend it. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: A good book with an excellent introduction Review: This was a good translation of the book, though what really stood out was a thorough introduction. For Rousseau Scholars, Emile is one of Rousseau's major works: in part a treatise on education, we find in Emile Rousseau's illustration of a major theme -- man is intrisically good, but that goodness is beaten out of him from assorted external factors.

Is this product review positive? Title: Editing is horrible Review: Although the scenes in the DVD are all beautiful, the editing is the worst I have seen in any travel films. The film shows, or more precisely flashes, constantly moving images so that a viewer may feel dizzy after watching it for a while. Most of the film is aerial photography, and as such, it lacks details. Sometimes I am wondering if this film was made by professional photographers and editors.On the other end, this set does offer more stuff than any other travel films on Italy. And the price is low, considering the length of this Blue-ray is 11 hours. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Lovely and interesting Review: This was a great series. The cinematography was so beautiful and the architecture of Italy is a living masterpiece. I was really impressed at just how many houses look just like they haven't changed in centuries. The house built on cliff edges and on the tops of hills... Look like something from a medieval tapestry.The narration is easy to listen to and the topics kept mainstream enough to hold everyone's interest. Answer:
Yes

Review: Very good book for beginners but the drawback of this book can be summarized in 2 points:1) ASP.NET 2.0 beta release had been announced and it fly with coding to the next level where you can get rid of 70% your code lines (according to Microsoft !, and this includes database classes and objects which changed dramatically in ASP.NET 2.0 . So, why to learn an old version ;).2) I rated this book "4" stars, because some of the examples in this book are very long where you get bored before you see your result. Answer:
Yes

Is this product review positive? Title: Pleasantly surprised Review: By happenstance I stumbled across this disc, and I bought it. Because I had never even heard of Origin before, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that this is a very good album. The band's sound reminds me of The Church, a band popular in the 80's, who had a hit called "Under the Milky Way."The band's sound revolves primarily around acoustic guitar and piano -- there is no showcased electric guitar here. The songs on the disc range from slow and introspective to toe-tapping rhythm. A number of the songs have soaring melodies and good lyrics that are truly moving.This band has a lot to offer; I recommend buying the disc, especially for the price. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Great local history of shipwrecks of the Atlantic Coast Review: I first picked up this book when I was 14 at a local bookstore in Wilmington, N.C. Ever since then I have been enchanted with stories of shipwrecks and the drama involved in them. This book describes the particularly dangerous coast of North Carolina where the warm gulf stream meets the cold artic currents, resulting in very dangerous sand bars and storms. This has resulted in hundreds of wrecks along this particular part of North America. The author describes some of the most climatic sinkings such as the USS Huron, the SS Metropolis, the steam packet Pulaski. He also chronicles the birth and growth of the US Life Saving Service and some of the most exciting rescues in history. Overall this is a fine and engrossing book, written by an author intimately connected with his topic Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: An interesting summary Review: I was pleased to discover that this book has been reprinted. It is a well researched listing of shipwrecks along a particular secion of the U.S. Atlantic coast. Accounts are of varying length. In some cases the author gives extensive details, e.g., he devotes a chapter to the Steam Packet Pulaski, but in other cases the accounts are very brief, perhaps a long paragraph or a page. The author does provide a chronological listing at the end of the book, a detailed index, and descriptive drawings of the various types of ships along with a map of the area (which I hope was preserved in the latest edition). Answer:
Yes

Title: A history of the Orvis Family in America Review: this book is a copy of many copies and many of the pages are so faint it is just about unreadable.When I returned this book due to the fact that it is illegible, I was only given a portion of my amount back. Lets see, the book was $20.53 and I got refunded $6.53.Unless someone goes back to the original book and makes a new copy of it, I wouldn't waste my money on it. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Best of the CINEMA releases Review: This is the best that CINEMA electronic music releases had to offer in the mid-eighties. Everyone of these songs has an interesting element to it - whether it be the keyboard or synthesizer work or the melody or effects that drive them. This was 'Dark Side' for the synthesizer enthusiast. Most of my friends in college liked this and wondered where it came from. For fans of Camel and Floyd (instrumental only). Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Good starter but nothing to hold on to. Review: I liked the book when I first started cgi but once I learned cgi (from other sources and books) I never opened the book again. Its got examples and an attempt to teach you but it doesn't go into detail what each line of code does so you can have code there but no clue what you are doing with it. Now, I wouldn't even recommend it for starters. If you want some SIMPLE samples spend the money here or get it free of the internet. your choice. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Random pieces of information with no apparent pattern Review: Mr. Kabir's book is awful! He aims at a beginner-level audience, but he only presents scattered pieces of information. He uses Perl programming language in examples without introducing its features properly. He talks about CGI in introductory chapters without introducing terminology that is necessary to know in order to understand what is he talking about. The CD that comes with the book is damaged, and it's not just mine - it's the way they created it! Finally the number of typographical errors is way beyond acceptable. Want to learn Perl for CGI? Stay away from it! Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Compared to Funland or midnights lair, Bite bit Review: Richard Laymon is horror genius, he always goes a step further, leading his works to be disturbingly entertaining. With Bite, however,his nack for making the unbelievable believable failed him.I still enjoyed it more than a king or koontz bore.Don't give up on laymon, he has a couple masterpieces out there, Ilook forward to discovering more of them. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: "Bite" blows! Review: This book merits my "toss" award --- meaning that upon finishing it, I tossed it across the room. Hackneyed characters, meandering plot, virtually NO horror... If you're looking for a good, original vampire story, keep looking, because "Bite" ain't it. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: One of his weaker books Review: I have read just about all of Richard Laymon's books. This one of his is the most recent one I have read and I was rather disappointed with it. Perhaps I have read to many of his books but they are beginning to blend all into one. The usual characters man/woman and the perverted characters they meet up with. It was nevertheless an ok read but definitely not his best. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: What a load of........ Review: Laymon has written some very good books....this is definitely NOT one of them. It is so boring that I use it to put me back to sleep if I can't. Nothing much ever happens save the first few chapters. After that it goes nowhere.....slowly, VERY, VERY slowly. There semms to be no middle ground with Laymon's writing, the books are either really good, or they are REALLY bad. Bite is the latter. And this book bites. Now that he's dead I'm sure they'll release every book this guy ever wrote, deserving or not. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: This book "Bite"s, all right. Review: Hated it! Where does this man's good reputation come from? Stephen King is an apparent fan but I can't for the life of me figure out why. I've read a few of his books now and found them to be boring, without even the slightest chill. His writing style is fine but where's the horror? This book is very similar to another Laymon novel called The Stake. He likes to write vampire novels where the reader spends the entire time wondering when the vampire is going to show up. Don't waste your valuable time on this one. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: stick with koontz and king Review: this book was flat and hollow i tried for days to drag myself through the first 2 chapters and well it wasn't worth it by the end of the book i was completely annoyed by the characters and plot it is a waste of time and money please if you are a true horror fan this one is not for you the only thing horrorific about this book is that someone actually agreed to publish it!!!!! Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: This Is Not A Vampire Novel Review: If you are looking for a good vampire story, this book is a waste of time. It is actually an only mediocre thriller about a couple of people being chased around the desert by a psycho-type. The vampire in the story is virtually incidential, playing almost no role except in the very beginning and the end. BEWARE! This book starts promisingly with an interesting vampire premise, but it is soon dropped for the thriller story line. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Don't even bother Review: I couldn't even finish this book. After wading through page after page of two characters trying to dispose of a body, I was so bored I couldn't go on. Their actions were completely unrealistic and silly. If you've just killed someone and you're trying to figure out how to dispose of the body, do you think you'd be preoccupied with sex and fantasizing??? Laymon wrote like a 12-year old with raging hormones. I know his novels are known for their gratuitous sex and violence, but when the sex gets in the way of the story, it's too much. If you're looking for a good read, please look elsewhere... Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Laymon proves once again why he is the TRUE master of horror Review: Richard Laymon has done it again!!!! Kudos to Don D'Auria and Leisure Books for bringing one of this country's greatest horror writers back to our shores! BITE is Laymon at his horrific best! A superbly written, fast paced, edge of your seat thrill ride that will keep you howling, cringing, and guessing until the final page. Think you know where the plot is going? Turn the page and think again! High octane reading!!! Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Classic Laymon - Another Brilliant Novel Review: Richard Laymon is one of the most underrated writers today. His novels gives new meaning to the old cliche "A real page turner". If you haven't read a Laymon, you're really missing out on a great literary experience. "Bite" is pure Laymon - great characters, a terrific storyline and a surprising ending. I certainly hope that the US finally discover what a great writer he is. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Sam's about to discover a whole other world... Review: His girlfriend, Cat, has just showed up at his doorstep. She wants him to kill her new "midnight love", Elliot. She claims he is a vampire.Skeptical, though unsure why his old flame would lie to him, Sam goes along. He finds out that, indeed, Elliot is a vampire--but that revelation is only the beginning for the pair, as they are about to embark on a wild, thrilling, terrifying, and dangerous night, with death lurking around every bend.Richard Laymon is (was) one of the most suspensful writers out there. He crafts novels that, if they aren't of the highest quality, will at the very least keep you on the edge of your seat. "Bite" is no exception. Though not a classic horror novel (though Laymon was capable of writing those; check out "Travelling Vampire Show" if you doubt me), it is indeed a thrilling ride, and will be an enjoyable read for the summer, fall, winter, spring, or anytime you decide to open it up. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: BITE HAS BITES Review: BITE is undoubtedly one of the best Laymon out there. Suspenseful, sexy, scary, with believable characters and a plot so intelligently drawn one can't stay away from the novel. Sure, Laymon is clearly obsessed with the female forms, but his take on horror is such a talented one that anything else he comes up with is worth the time and diversion. BITE is a must read, period.-----Martin Boucher Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: What's the point? Review: I dove into the book with relish after hearing so much about Laymon's work. Being that it was the first of his books I'd read I kept a very open mind. The first 100 pages or so were very good and after that I let myself be pulled along by the story. Really feeling that all of this inconsequential stuff was building up to something. By the last 10 pages I was thoroughly disappointed by this story thinking, "What's the point he's trying to make." There wasn't even a climax to this story. Maybe all these folks are right. Maybe Laymon usually is a great writer but in my opinion "BITE" is a waste of 370 pieces of good paper. I give it one star simply for the effort he gives at seeing this story through. I'll eventually give Laymon another shot. But not anytime soon. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: This is a vampire book????? Review: I was very dissappointed in my first read of Richard Laymon.Was this suppose to be about a vampire? Just because there was one in the trunk does not qualify this as a vampire book. I had high hopes as I kept reading waiting for the main characters to get down to business and stop lusting after each other. I wasn't feeling sorry for Cat as a battered wife. And Sam was alittle too whimpy. This one went into the trash as soon as I was done. I wouldn't dare pass this one on to a friend. Answer:
No
