Is this product review positive? Title: Great basic noise cancelling headphones. Review: These are great for use on airplanes or watching movies on laptops, ipads, etc. They really only block out noise similar to a planes air conditioning so you will still hear people. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: These Actually Work! Review: These headphones have been a lifesaver for me. The cupped earpieces muffle quite enough sound on their own and when you turn on the "noise-canceling" there is a marked difference in the reduction of sound from outside the headphones. They fit nicely and are comfortable. Living in a small apartment on a busy main street, with a husband who likes the TV loud, I am able to tune out the racket so much more efficiently. That makes me a happy camper! Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Tap ... Tap ... Are these things ON? Review: My wife and I have very, very different tastes in music. When we visit out-of-state relatives I do the driving. I'd like to listen to some of my CDs on the trip, but her Ipod's ear buds let too much sound in -- she can't enjoy her music unless I turn mine all the way down.I got these headphones to help her block out my music so she can hear hers. That would be a "Win-Win" situation. I haven't tried these headphones in this situation yet, but I did try them myself, in the house. I can honestly say that I cannot tell any difference whatsoever in extraneous noise whether the noise canceling circuit is on or off.On the plus side, the padded ear cups do block much of the outside noise, and they aren't nearly as bulky as the Koss Pro4AAT headphones I use in the living room, so they may still be enough, but I'm very disappointed with the lack of any active noise canceling. Answer:
No

I'd prefer to have them a bit smaller, but they do fold up nicely.Very comfortable for my long flights to New Zealand, Australia, China and India.If I had it to do over again, I'd probably buy them again. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Decent value but cheap construction Review: I enjoyed these while they lasted, but in less than a year the plastic deteriorated and the left ear cup fell off. They literally fell apart. They're fine for light use, but if you travel a lot then I recommend you spend the money for a sturdier pair with a hard carrying case. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Great Headphones! Review: I bought these for use on airplanes, and they do a pretty good job. They are very comfortable with good thick cushions on the ears. And the way they fold up is both really cool to look at as well as well-designed; folded they hardly take up any space at all. They're maybe the size of an apple or orange.I did try the noise-cancelling option and in all honesty I couldn't tell a difference at all. To me, most of the noise-cancelling comes from the phones surrounding your ears. Some noticed a background buzzing noise but I didn't hear anything; I even tried them in a quiet place just to see. Maybe my noise-cancelling just doesn't work (though the light comes on). But even without that feature having a huge impact, these are really good headphones. The only thing I'd add is a way to increase the volume on the headphones themselves independently of whatever they're plugged into, but other than that, I don't regret my choice. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Highly Recommended Review: First of I need to disclose that I got these from Amazon on sale for $28.52.So understand when I say this is the best VALUE for your money. Are they better than the Bose Quiet Comfort headphones? No they're not but they're also not $300.The sound quality for me is good enough that if there was something better I probably could not distinguish the difference. I play mostly P2P downloaded mp3s on my iPod they aren't of the highest quality to begin with. They fit comfortably without any issues whatsover, the fact that they can be folded is a bonus. I highly recommend these for people not angry at their money. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Folding is the only nice feature Review: I liked the full-size Philips noise canceling headphones. When those broke, being stuffed into my laptop bag once too much, I decided to go with the folding model. Unfortunately, the bargain price delivers a cheap product. The noise cancellation is bad, the fit uncomfortable and I preferred to take them off on my 12+ hour airplane journey than endure the discomfort. I would spend the extra $$ for the full size Philips that I found more comfortable than the Bose QC3's I had bought earlier. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Low cost option for noise cancellation Review: I purchased these headphones as a low-cost alternative to the overpriced Bose, and am fairly happy with the performance. Audio is decent, as is comfort. The fold-up design makes them a little less bulky, but not much, and they are a little heavy, which means you'll feel them after an hour or so, or sooner with glasses. Noise suppression was modest - while it did cut the jet engine background noise, but the crying baby or loud conversation 3 rows back still gets thru. But for the price, can't complain. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Fine product Review: For the price, this product is excellent. Since I've never owned a really expensive set of noise-canceling headphones, I don't know how to compare it to them. Some sound does come through but from what I've read, that's to be expected. I'm very pleased with the product. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Not the best noise cancelling headphone Review: Not the best noise canceling headphones, but if you are looking for something cheap (n not willing to pay over $200) they are quite nice. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: i returned them immediately Review: these headphones cannot be worn for more than a short while before they cause extreme discomfort on the side of the ears. the band presses them tightly on the sides of my head and made it painful to wearm them for extended periods.also, the noise cancelling switch is located in an awkward position behind the ears, and is difficult to switch once you ge them on your head. also, they quicxkly began making crackling noises in the music. lastly, i bought them at best buy at they cost full retail, which is rape. i reccomend somethingg liek the sennheiser pxc 300's. they are a bit more expensive but very comfortable and have excellent sound. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Nothing like Bose Review: I see some have posted reviews claiming this product "is nearly as good on noise reduction" or "wholly equal" or "as comfortable" as any of the Bose QuietComfort products.Apparently those reviewers were trying to be comical. We give them that benefit of our doubt (assuming comedic intent, instead of delusional thinking).I have several of the Bose QC products, and also now have used this Philips product for a week.This product is not comfortable. The noise reduction is hardly noticeable for sound frequencies it is supposed to reduce. The ear cups are too small to fit around most ears. The pads are too stiff. This product is kinda pricey because there are competitors priced $10 less that are its equal. The real reason this Philips headset is more is that the overall mechanical design is too complex, not designed for low-cost manufacturing. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Not as good as the original Review: I'm not sure what went wrong between my first and second pair of these, it may be where they are made. This set, the right earpiece doesn't reduce sound as much as the left. And, both don't reduce noise in the crucial middle frequencies as they should. I'm quite disappointed in the performance of these. Also, for some inexplicable reason, they wrapped the cord into an impossibly tight roll when packaging so now I have a cord that is always getting tangled and kinked. Stay away from these. However I'm giving it a 2 instead of a 1 because when I turn off the noise cancelling they are a decently good sounding and comfortable pair of ordinary headphones for listening to audiobooks when I'm at home. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: philips redesigned these Review: philips remade these and they seem to look alot better and more durable.i dont own them but i do know that they are different now and actualy look 100% better.best buy has the new model if anyone is interested. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Noise CANCELING??? Review: Just received the Noise Canceling head phones. I was listening to our TV in the front room. I then put on the head phones a slight drop in volume about 1 or 2 percent was evident with switch on or off no big difference. I could hear the TV with or without the head phones covering my ears. The information submitted with the headphones state a 75 percent reduction in back ground noise.So I'll take them on a plane trip and see if the background in flight noise gets filtered out.At this time I am quite critical about the fact the noise cancelation feature will not wok as intended. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Great when you have a crying child next to you on the plane Review: The noise-cancelling feature really works. I used them on a transatlantic flight, and they block out a lot of surrounding noise, which is great when you are watching the in-flight movie. They fold up so they are compact to carry, and they come with a leather pouch. The sound quality is good and they fit well on my ears. I would recommend them to anyone who flies frequently. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Not Worth the Money - Doesn't Cancel Noise Well Review: I recently purchased this Philips Noise Canceling Headset, and paid $70 for it at Best Buy.This headset is NOT worth $70. It contains little or no foam padding, allowing large amounts of high-frequency noise to pass through. And in a quiet environment with no low-frequency noise (which is what the canceler is actually designed to cancel) there's actually a hissing noise, which is probably the result of impedance caused by poorly-designed electronics.I will admit, it does nicely block automobile engine noise and outside music while listening to another audio source (with the help of a small preamp, it sounds like).However, if you want something that effectively cancels noise, go with another brand. And I STRONGLY urge you to try on different types of noise-canceling headphones in a relatively noisy environment before you buy. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Piece of crap Review: I liked these at first. They were pretty comfortable and had decent noise cancelling. Then about 3-4 months after I bought them, a piece of plastic on the left side cracked off one day and that side of the headphones was no longer adjustable and didn't fit right. I superglued it back together and it worked okay. A month later, both metal loops that go over the top of the head snapped off at the base. They were still held to the phones by the leather, but were totally uncomfortable to wear. Random pieces of plastic started dropping off randomly. I use these headphones at WORK. That means they sit at my desk when not wearing them in front of my computer. I couldn't use them more gently, they just totally fell apart within six months of purchase. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: disappointed! Review: I had read several reviews, and I thought this product was the solution to my noisy office (air planes buzzing overhead, officemates chattering away, construction going on outside, etc.). I was so excited to have a device to turn my crappy office into my own personal place of tranquility. Boy was I wrong. The product did not reduce ANY noise. They functioned like an expensive set of headphones with no noise-cancelling abilities. I sent them back. My ear plugs did a better job than these headphones. Not sure if I got a defective product. Regardless, the thing didn't work for what I needed. I'm thinking ear plugs and ear muffs might do the trick at a fraction of the cost. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: not what I was expecting... Review: Don't waste your money on these headphones as a noise canceling device! They don't do the job, really poor nioise canceling power. The size of the muffle is too small so it doesn't cover your ears, it's not so big as it looks from the pictures. If you need just a regular set of headphones then yes they do have somewhat of a nice design, but as far as you turn the noise canceling option on it actually makes the noise even bigger in your ears, especially the speach. So just try something else ;) Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: great price, Review: headphones come with 2 jack adaptors. 3.5 to 1/4" and 3.5 to airplane. the headphones fit nice and cancel out most sound. the sound quality is good but gets distorted easily and can not handle base very well. used on both Motorola droid and home receiver. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Heads Up Review: For the price, the value is a good purchase. The sound quality, the noise canceling and the overall quality if very good. The comfort is not great but relatively comfortable. I can recommend these for the airplane traveler. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Broke in less than a month Review: I purchased these headphones to use at work because it is often difficult to concentrate with all of the phone conferences going on. They fold up quite well and look nice. They are comfortable and the sound is good, but the earpiece separated from the rest of it after only two uses.I am asking for my money back! Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: too baggy Review: I bought this seat cover for my car, and it the minute I put it on I was already regreting that I bought this. Its simply too baggy on the top and narrow down the middle. I would expect it to look like the picture on here because it said "universal" but it looks nothing like it, save your money and buy a quality 2 piece set. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: A Must For Any Tenchi Fan Review: When I was a child, I would watch Tenchi Muyo as if I had to in order to live another day. So of course, when I heard Toynami made fully articulate dolls of Tenchi, Ryoko, and Ayeka, I had to get them. However, the local Suncoast only had Tenchi and Ayeka, which I did buy. But for the longest time, I wanted a Ryoko to finish the trio.On February 3rd, I found this item and immediately felt eight years younger! As a Tenchi fan, she is a must have.As for the toy itself, Ryoko is VERY durable and can handle almost any pose. The only downside is that her hair is made of hard plastic, and is heavier than the rest of her. Being so top-heavy, she can't even stand or hold a pose without assistance. Still, the doll is very faithful to the character's appearance. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Orgasmic! Review: I've had this book since my teenage years and it's the one book I go back to time and time again. I don't know what it is that makes me grab it from the bookshelf, perhaps Conan Doyle's unique style, his descriptions of old London or the Grimpen Mire or the small village deep in the home counties, the knee high fog settling on the moor,I just don't know!Watson's narration and Holmes deductions and logic never cease to thrill me and carry me away on an orgasmic journey of escapism. For that's what a good book does. That's what this book does. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: EMT -AKA- Great work pants ! Review: I have been a blue collar worker for 40 + years. I searched for a quality pair of work pants.I have found them, the Dickies 211-2377 Men's EMT Pant are great. The knees are reinforcedThe lower half of the slit pockets have also been reinforced . The rear left(wallet) pocket has a buttonclosure. The cargo pockets have 3 Velcro taps to secure closure of the flap. The pants are made of a fabricthat is of a heavy weight (durable) and are loose fit in the leg- great for ease of movement .I purchased these in June 2012, they are a bit warm in the heat of the summer but I have worn themoften this fall, no sign of shrinkage or fading after a number of washings and they still hold the crease.I am happy to pay a fair price for a quality product including factoring in the shipping fee. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: A shocking surprise! Review: I was really pleasantly surprised when I found this used and bought it on a whim. First, it contains the world-popular "Dragostea Din Tei" aka Maia Hee...This is a good time, party-time CD. This is a lot of fun. Every song is a winner. Very upbeat.There's enough variety between the songs so it doesn't sound too repetitive. Also, most of the songs are short so there's usually a fresh, new song every three/four minutes.Highly recommended! Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: As forgettable as a night after too much vodka Review: The woman on the cover appears to be passed out from too much vodka,or asleep,after listening to this album;hardly a diva who'd grace the cover of "Maxim" or "FHM." This album is boring,not sexy,and you'll fall asleep WHILE listening to this like the lingerie-clad lady.The groups Alexandroid,ULA,and Moscow Groove Insitute get two tracks each,as if the musical landscape in Moscow were that boring.There are a few highlights-ULA's almost-Kraftwerk trance song "Just an engine",the Russian love song "Solovushka:Evening Remix",and the Moscow Groove Institute's use of native Russian music in "Kali:Higher Mix." However,one might agree with the singer Dimitri Pronin,whose strange "You killing me" sounds like the listener's response to this music.There is cool,sexy Eastern European music out there.This compilation isn't bringing sexy back to the former Soviet Union,now Russia.

No

Title: The worst of 10 dark chocolate covered coffee beans Review: Concerned by the relatively high price, but loving dark chocolate covered coffee beans, I ordered 1 pound. Not only was the product high in price, but the shipping was top dollar. Many of the chocolate drops did not contain coffee beans and the taste was strictly mediocre compared tp pther available products. The package is cheap, not resealable and difficult to seal at all. Finally, the company is not very responsive and took 11 to 12 days to ship the product after they had the order. The deficiencies are in this product and not with Amazon!!!!! Answer:

Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: A new Low Review: This production is so bad it is essentially impossible to watch. A few of the actors are OK, but Judi Dench reveals she has no aptitude whatever for comedy -just a phony seriousness that some take for acting. I know being compared with Edith Evans is tough but even high school productions often do better with Lady B. As has been noted, the pace alone kills this performance, but it is also true that most of the lines are delivered so as to wring any humor out of them. It is like listening to someone who just can't tell a joke. The producer, the director and the actors should be ashamed of themselves. Answer:
No

Is this product review positive? Title: Charming production - marred by Charlie Mole's score Review: One of Wilder's most beloved plays. Exceptional cast. Rupert Everett is perfect,Reese Witherspoon charming. Some humorous direction, original, but utterly inkeeping with Wilde's play. I think Oscar Wilde would have been pleased.There is one HIGHLY ANNOYING glaring, cringing fault. Charlie Mole's score.This film is classic turn of the Century British dialogue, plot and humor.The music is 20th century American jazz that wasn't even composed in thetimeframe of the play. Rupert even "plays" (probably not actually him)an antique pianoforte. And throughout the film I cringe when classic 1920'sAmerican Harlem Jazz intrudes RUDELY to disrupt Wilde's brilliant PROPER BRITISH 19th century dialogue. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.If you can ignore that (lucky you) you have a marvelous interpretation withlovely touches and a superb cast. Answer:
Yes

Is this product review positive? Title: An incredibly clever masterpiece of wordplay Review: It took us a little while to get into this one. The first 20 minutes or so seemed a little slow and even boring. By the end of the movie however, we were rolling in our seats with laughter. This movie is all about the dialog. It's witty and clever and you really have to pay attention to catch everything. With all the witty dialog, plot twists, and romantic banter, this movie is remniscent of a Shakespearean comedy. If you liked "Much Ado About Nothing", or "Midsummer Night's Dream", you'll like this one as well. Answer:

Is this product review positive? Title: Great Modern Adaptation, But Check out the 1952 Production as Well Review: I love Oscar Wilde, and this is one of my favorite works. His typical satire of high society, love, morality, and marriage are by no means lost in this work.This film (unlike most adaptations) does a great job at staying true to its print version. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because I liked the 1952 verson more. Maybe it's because that's the version I grew up with, but whatever the case maybe, do yourself a favor and check that one out as well. It's just as funny and just as charming if not more.The Importance of Being Earnest - Criterion Collection Answer:

Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: 'Adaptation' is right Review: I have to say I had high expectations for this movie, & was sorely disappointed by the entire thing. In fact, I was very tempted at several points during the movie to walk out. Where to begin? Witherspoon is too old for the character. More important, anyone who thinks their dialogue is better than Wilde's should simply have written their own entire script. Some of the best lines of this play were cut completely, in most scenes, the timing was wrong. Trying to expand the backdrops for scenes was also, imo, a huge mistake (ie, instead of sticking to the interiors of the play, the boys go to a 'gentleman's club' & Gwendolyn goes to a tattoo parlour, for heaven's sake!)Bad. The whole thing was bad, the timing was *much* too slow, etc., etc.,etc. Even Dame Judi couldn't save this bloater, & I love her work.Ok, so I'm used to this play *as a play*, onstage, not messing around with any additional cutsey dialogue. But lord, it wasn't good. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Utterly Abysmal & Disgraceful Review: I love this play and have seen numerous productions of it over the years including the 100th anniversary performance at the Old Vic in London in 1995 (a splendid Lady Bracknell performed by Barbara Leigh-Hunt from Pride and Predjudice). I have also read the play a few times as well savoring Wilde's wit as I would a fine cabernet. This Oliver Parker adaptation on the otherhand is pure swill.As with his recent adaptation of Othello, Parker's vision and pacing for Earnest are all wrong. Gone are the elements of quick wit, Victorian manners and high-farce, replaced by a trashy and unpleasant opium-induced rag-time catastrophe.Never has Reese Witherspoon been less charming, Dame Judy less regal or Colin Firth less properly mannered.Truly, a farce of a farce. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: A good cast wasted. Review: Every one of the actors and actresses is an extremely talented person, and could have been good in a different production of the play. It was obvious that the director didn't understand the play, and was taking a totally wrongheaded approach to it."Ernest" is a drawing room comedy. Hacking up the different scenes--moving from the club to Lady Bracknell's townhouse or from the country house to the church--destroys that. The tatoo parlor scene was entirely gratuitous. Showing Canon Chasibule's drawings was a total misreading of the character. Making Algy the older of the guys was wrong; if Wilde had wanted it that way, he would have WRITTEN it that way. And having Algy and Ernest getting into a physical struggle over the muffins was just wrong, wrong, WRONG--it violated the whole spirit of the play, which is the use of WORDS and LANGUAGE.I just hope that some day the same cast gets together to do this again--under a director who knows what he is doing. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: GOOD except some... Review: Brilliant, lovely, impeccable casting by the entire Oliver Parker's production team. Almost perfect performances by GORGEOUS actors and actresses upon beautiful costumes design, greenest of the countryside, and exquisite interior decorations. This Oscar Wilde adaption will no doubt remain timeless for the next three decades at least before another remake emerges in Hollywood.Everything's so agreeable except Reese Witherspoon's cast here... Parker must have been mistaken for Christ sake! Witherspoon is so NOT right for the choice. Her indifferent beauty and bubbly profile are totally incompatible with the rest of the casts - who has got the lordly Englishness. She plays the "ward" of Jack Worthing (Colin Firth) who's kept and schooled in his country house, no wonder. Answer:
Yes

I found I had a few hiccups trying to find out how to exchange it instead of a return since I really wanted the movie. When email for assistance I found it not be be clear and to the point but really only referred me to the same stuff I had found.

The characters were quite annoying, with the logic of five year old children.

I would not recommend it... the humor was dry, and the pace was slower than a turtle's. Answer:

Is this product review positive? Title: Witty and charming with beautiful young stars Review: This is a truly delightful version of a delightful play. "The Importance of Being Earnest" is Oscar Wilde at his best, and the attractive young stars make it even more fun. Although Reese Witherspoon occasionally seems somewhat out of place with the otherwise British actors, for the most part it works. The older stars hold their own very well, too -- Judi Dench as the overbearing aunt, Anna Massey as the prissy Miss Prism, and Tom Wilkinson as the confused vicar. Highly recommended for a good time and many laughs. Answer:
Yes

Is this product review positive? Title: brilliant old english satire Review: Judy Dench had alot to do with me choosing this edition over the 1952 criterion edition. I loved the original, yet this remake is so much funnier (much less subtle) than the original.

After visiting the actual locations in and around Munich, Germany, I am still amazed at the detail which went into this film.

Comprised primarily of medical students at the University in Munich in 1942-1943, these people were some of the few that refused to bow under to Hitler's will - and for this, they paid with their lives.This movie depiction basically shows actions of the group from the time that Sophie Scholl arrives in Munich until the time of her execution along with her brother Hans, and their friend Christoph Probst. The film does a fairly good job of portraying the group, though there are obvious Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: What a disappointment Review: I had high hopes for this collection of classical music. I received "100 Golden Classics" and immediately put the 4 CD's into my CD-player. This type of music is usually enjoyed most when played loud and I immediately wondered where all the background noise came from. It turned out that these CD's are not digitally remastered at all but are simply copies of some old LP's. Therefore the original LP noise is preserved and the remaining music is not very dynamic. The selection is actually good - but the sound quality prevents me from enjoying these CD's. Answer:
No

This book is meant for 2+ kids but I use it already and I found a lot of recipes that appeal to adults as well. I like the that the recipes are marked either vegetarian or vegan. Answer:
Yes

Trying to intoduce my kids to a vegetarian lifestyle has always been challenging, but the enormous selection of kid friendly recipes has been just wonderful! I especially appreciated the "normal" foods like portabella steak dinner which let my kids feel just like everyone else. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: FUN KID-FRIENDLY RECIPES AND IDEAS Review: I bought this book in an attempt to find meal ideas for both my husband and I who are vegetarians, and my 6 year old and eight year old who are more omnivorous. As a registered dietitian, I look for recipes that are lower in fat and include a wide range of grains, fruits and vegetables. Some of the recipes in this book worked very well - we all loved the Brown Rice Fruit Salad, and the recipe for Cartwheel carrots was a hit. Recipes are "kid-tested", but my kids still can't be convinced to love okra, eggplant or spinach casserole. I have managed to sneak tofu into their diet in recipes like Tofu Spuds. This book was a worthwhile buy, if only for the fact that my kids found enough recipes they liked to plan the family menu for a week, even though some meals were supplemented with chicken fingers or fish sticks. Answer:
Yes

Review: I'm sorry to say that I complletely underestimated this book when I first purchased it. I was teaching a class on nutrition to children and it had come highly recommended. I'm embarrassed to say, but half way through my first day of teaching it to children I realized how this book had information that I needed! No exotic ingredients, excellent instructions, and a fun read. I had the pleasure of speaking with Jaque Pepin once and I mentioned this book to him...he started grinning immediately. It turned out that he'd had a similar experience with this book. It comes with my highest recommendation! Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: This one is pretty good! Review: I actually use one a lot. I have some little offspring and they can be picky little eaters. I really like these recipes, and much like the rest of my cooking, I incorporate a lot of my own idea into the recipes. This cookbook is great to have. Very glad I bought it. Answer:
Yes

Title: great ideas, simple to do Review: We are raising our son vegetarian (2 1/2 years old), and the fact that he dislikes the textures of many vegetables makes it difficult to find a variety of items to include in his meals. The recipes in this book are all very simple, and have been great to give us ideas of how to expand our son's interest in food. Answer:
Yes

Is this product review positive? Title: Not much here to carry with you Review: One of the things I enjoy about reading is that I can take something from a book and carry it with me....some insight or food for thought. This book has nothing to savor in it's story. I don't like the Mother, who is never true to herself. I really disliked the older daughter character, she needs to grow-up and since she is 40 I doubt she ever will. The younger daughter held the story for a while, but she falls into the TV business without any prior talent...unbelievable at best. Morality is passe throughout and so is this book, folks. Answer:
No

No
Is this product review positive? Title: Ideal for the Who-Hater Review: From my own and friends' reactions, it seems that the more you like The Who, the less you will like this book. Like Leonard Malton on films and James Michener on any subject, Marsh makes exciting things insufferable. The wheezing digressions, no-nothing judgments and constant air of self-importance smother fandom's lively flame.Lester Bangs could communicate to you the flavor, rhythm, and personal significance of a song or ouvre. Marsh has no such ear, and overwhelms this project with his own wooly-brained inanity. Even descriptions of the band member's intimate, often emotional life experiences are uninvolving. Tell you what--buy the albums and just guess what kind of lives these guys had and what their motives were. That'll be a lot more fun than this quagmire. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: This book is crap, essentially, with a few gold nuggets. Review: Dave Marsh is the most long-winded fool ever to usea typewriter. Most of this book comes to you directlyfrom his anus. It is nevertheless a good referenceif you can dig through the piles and piles of rubbish. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: The best book about The Who. Review: This is the best book i've read about The Who and what they have been throught to reach the top.Pete Townshend is certainly the most soulful of them. What a genius !A strange kind of sadness seems to always accompany him.Is he a happy man after all those achievments ? Maybe "Behind blue eyes" is the answer ?(Dave Marsh explains very well the the "Mod Scene" phenomenon). Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Marsh kills the spirit of rock and roll Review: I agree with the reviewer who mentioned that Dave Marsh's preachiness and know-it-all attitude really is a detriment to this book. Before I Get Old is well researched and thorough, the only problem is that it takes all the life out of what is one of the most exciting and dangerous rock groups of all time. Marsh really fails to capture the early days of the Who, because he seems to judge everything as the elitist American reviewer he is. In other words, he has no sense of humour and doesn't capture the essence of what made the Who what they were. Pete Townshend is quoted at length, and he can be a real bore, he does his best communicating with a guitar in his hand and writing great songs of angst, rebellion and rage. Marsh has done some good work here and there, but he is totally out in left field with this one, he really captured nothing of The Who. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Ummmm... No Review: I could not bring myself to finish this book. An avid reader of Black Lace I was distracted not entranced by the plot twists of this novel.

No

Review: this is a great period novel...... au contraire to what other folk have said, this is a great novel with some steamy scenes and top o' the art writing. couldn't put it down even if i wanted to! lots of awesome scenes, great writing, just awesome! cannot wait to pick up another book from ms. strand. she is a rare talent. man oh man......... Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Confusing mess of a book, boring and NON erotic. Review: I've been enjoying Black Lace books for a few years and was looking forward to reading a new one. I found La Basquaise and began what turned out to be an aggravating and seemingly unending read. The opening was strong & fun--which was simply the juicy meat of a terrible leg-hold trap. By the time I'd gnawed through the bone, I was ready to die. Strand has no idea how to tell a story, no idea how to resolve her plot threads. The characters are boring and there is so little time spent fleshing them out that you could care less what happens to them. Unrealistic (I know this is a fantasy, whatever!) situations, characters who are best friends with each other abondoning one another without a thought. It felt like it was written by three different people over a weekend and sewn together hastily with thick ragged string. Don't waste your time, unless you feel like using it as a teaching aid for how NOT to write erotica. Terrible--! Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Yuck Review: This would be my least favorite black lace book. I could not get involved with the character at all, and was not impressed by the love scenes. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Graphic, harrowing, and touching--worth a try. Review: This collection of Phoebe Gloeckner's comics is definitely not for the faint of heart, but it's worth a reading. If you haven't read her novel, Diary of a Teenage Girl, I think you will find this book a better introduction to her work. The themes are much the same and the comic art is very well done.The subject matter is pretty bleak. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Paid toooooo much for shipping Review: Received this product in good condition. Item includes the cover which is nice but there are no shorting blocks for the terminals, which are typically included with this type of wiring block. My main gripe is that I paid way too much for shipping this item. The item is very light in weight and the Price Pros could have shipped this item via First Class or Priority Mail. Project has to be postpone because I have to search for these damn shorting blocks. Product full description was incomplete. I give this service from Price Pros only one star. I would never ever order any products from this company again. Make sure you that check out the shipping costs before completing your order. Do not order from these guys!!!!!!!! Answer:
No

Is this product review positive? Title: Nothing Here Review: This CD has little to offer a jazz guitar fan. Very amateur sounding guitar playing, and not at all the desirable tone expected from a jazz guitar. True, the rhythm section is good but the sound quality doesn't even do them justice. I think someone stood in front of the band holding a mic. Listen to the sound samples offered. If you like it, what can I say? But unless you own everything Joe Pass, Wes, Howard Alden, Bruce Foreman, Barney Kessell and SO many other I can't list and you are just dying to buy another jazz guitar CD, don't waste you money on this one. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: thin book, large type, not much info and expensive Review: Aimed at "Website Developers" the book wastes a lot of time and space on more obvious things. For example it tells you which PHP file to edit to change a string and where to in the file the string is. That's nicely done. But then it does the same thing over and over again file after file. A simple table after the first example would have done the trick. The real problem with that is the examples are in a very large font, lots of whitespace. Yet the book is small and very thin.Basically not much content and way too expensive. This book would be worth $10 if you were not a website developer but wanted to be one someday. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Skimpy, basic, and way overpriced Review: Just like his other book, "osCommerce Users Manual", this book is short on real content, and in fact repeats much of what was on that book! Both books should have been combined into one, and sold at a lower price. This guy SERIOUSLY needs some competition in osCommerce technical books. Anyone? Anyone? Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: A thin malnourished Book Review: This book is so inadequate that the screen shots are often poor enough resolution that they can be difficult to read. There are things such as see the code above with the different color text. You look at the text and finally after a while you realize, "hey some of it is slightly grey" that's the different color. What a joke. All the content is about how to install and modify the look and feel of OsCommerce. If you want to know how to use the program, don't look here. Also the senarios only cover one case the one the author is using. None of the other variables you may wish addressed are even mentioned. Finally if you want instruction on details of customizing the code, forget this book. Answer:
No

Is this product review positive? Title: Great Product - Great Price! Review: I bought this on VHS - however I'm reviewing it on both the VHS and DVD sites. I've been thinking about getting into the business, and this video answered many of my questions that my wife and I had. It was well worth the $19.95 I spent. It answered questions I had about getting my license and continuing education once I got my license. This presented the costs and information in a well laid out - unbaised format. Thank you! Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Waste of Time and Money Review: If you've been thinking about massage therapy as a profession AND you have an internet connection you've probably already learned more than what's on this DVD. Very little actual massage is shown with little reference to different techniques. Everything is discussed in generalities and everyone on the DVD seemed to be from the same area so regional differences were not discussed. Needless to say, I was VERY disapointed. Answer:
No
