Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: A book of love and remembering.... Review: This book is wonderful... I got the book, started reading it, and was hooked. I enjoyed the stories and little bits of wisdom tucked within the pages. It is obvious that Edna was a very special lady. Ms. Larson style of writing allows the reader to feel part of the story, not an outsider looking on. While reading this book I was constantly reminded of my own relationship with my Grandmother and many fond memories. This is a wonderful book filled with love and the history of a woman who lived everyday to the fullest. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Don't sell this book back! Review: An outstanding lab text for sophomore level 1-yr organic courses. Any chemistry/physical science major should not sell this book back at the end of the semester! Half of the book is dedicated to experiments which while informative is not the real gem here. The other half of the book covers techniques in organic and microscale chemistry. If you ever need to build a chromatographic column or do vacuum filtration again, you will be glad that you kept this book in your library.The techniques section alone justifies buying this book. Chemistry majors, microbiologists, environmental scientists and engineers will all find this text valuable in their future careers. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Inferior to the german brand Review: I was pleased to find these in-channel vents at about 30% less than the well known German brand (which I have on another car). However, when I got them it was immediately obvious that these are vastly inferior. Aside from the fact that they were scuffed and very dusty, which was probably due to careless handling, they are made of a flimsy material that seems like it wouldn't last very long. Also, even though it's supposedly and in-channel application, these had strips of double -stick tape on the piece that goes INTO the door channel - and that's a recipe for disaster. Spend the extra bucks for the other brand. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: 3 Interviews Review: This is a pretty boring docco on Alien Abductions. I took the chance on it, and am not terribly impressed.It's just 3 interviews with 3 alien abductees. And nothing else. No video footage or UFO fighting reports. The graphics are virtually non-existent. There's a little bit of 3D graphics that looks like a 13 year old did it, it's that basic.On the upside however, the interviews with the 3 abductees are pretty detailed and sound genuine. However, this alone doesn't make a good product that will sell. Fact is... and I know you've seen this too... When you watch a docco, you want to WATCH it, and not "watch someone tell it". They need to take a lesson from the makers of the "OZ Encounters" UFO docco and put in some cool graphics. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: should be called "how to co-opt an organization from within" Review: This book describes how a small group of dedicated activists can join a voluntary organization, such as a labor union or environmental group, and mold its policies to serve a goal quite different from the ostensible purpose of the organization. For example, members of an economically dominant minority (as described in "World on Fire" by Amy Chua) could join a labor union and rise to the top by being more dedicated and promoting each other. They could then get the union to acquiesce in massive immigration of cheap labor which benefits the elite members of the same ethnic group. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: There's no place for electronica and house music in the rock world Review: It's not THE Baldwin brothers your thinking about. There's not even a Baldwin in the group. Which is good, because even the screw-ups in that family wouldn't want to be caught in this electronic/pop rock disaster. There's no place for electronica and house music in the rock world. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Small part broke off from tri-color cartridge holder Review: A small plastic part broke off from the tri-color cartridge holder, and now the little metal wire in that cartridge holder area no longer is in the correct position. When I put a tri-color cartridge in, the printer says the color cartridge is bad. The printer now will only print with the black or photo cartridge in--but either way the prints come out black and white. I really loved this printer until this happened. I was concerned about the cheap feel of the cartridge holders and the snap down latch on the cartridges--but I thought it would be ok since it was made by HP. I am going to miss this printer (I am still upset that it broke!) and I was careful with it. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Works great... Sort of Review: Well this product we purchased in Dec. of 2005. It worked great, photo quality prints every time... Then about a month ago two small plastic clips that hold in a metal wire that is crucial to the print cartridge functioning broke off.That little wire can do its job if it is pressed back into place but will fall out of place when replacing cartridges and perhaps during use. We have not throughly tested it yet.Bottom line, a great little printer that could... Before it's gentle little parts broke. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: too many plastic parts that seem light and flimsy Review: I purchased this printer at the end of January and by the middle of February after only printing about 20 borderless 4X6 pictures direct from memory card the printer failed. It prints about 3/4 of the picture and then something happens with the rollers inside that turns the picture paper to an angle and wrinkles the paper and the print comes out unfinished. I am very disappointed in this printer. I am returning it to store to try another one more time. If this one doesn't work properly then I am going to try another brand. For the record the software and features worked very nicely. It is just mechanics inside that seem cheap and flimsy. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Same 880B7418 Problem Review: The printer worked fine, until I tried to bluetooth sync it to my iPhone, which failed. After that all it would do is show the power icon with the code 880B7418. The only way it would print is if I pulled the power plug and reconnected it...then it would print one job and the error would appear again.Buyer beware. Answer:
No

Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Less then 2 years moderate usage and now it's only printing in black backup mode! Review: This HP Photosmart 8150 Printer worked fine with only moderate use for about 1.75 years but now the flimsy Tri-color Ink Cartridge holder no longer properly detects any new Tri-color Ink cartridges detecting every new Tri-color cartridge as being bad.Less than 2 years of moderate use at best and it only prints in black back up mode now which makes this once great photo printer absolutely useless.*Word to the wise, if you buy this over priced, older, discontinued model HP Photosmart 8150 Printer new, you had better get the 2 or 3 year replacement, next day exchange extended warranty with it! It will malfunction before it's two years old almost guaranteed! Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Picture printing for dummies! Like me! Review: This is a great product with or with out a computer. You get to manage you SD card. You get to print out your pictures in normal or best or ok quality. I like normal. Doesn't use and abuse much ink. I also like the LCD screen. Not to small. It has alot of buttons right on hand. you could obtain the menu from a touch of a button. it is perfect for those who don't like to surf menus to much or surf with one or two buttons. it has pictures on the buttons for that easy knowing professional quality printer. ( that is what we call it) You won't be disappointed. The quality also depends on your paper. I use epson and the quality is lab perfect. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Locks up Computer! Review: Yes the prints are great and you don't have to use a computer,but when we first installed it the computer would lock at the post. Seems if your not using the newest bios Windows XP sees the printer as a hard drive and tries to boot from it which of course it can't.HPs work around is to unplug the printer everytime you boot the computer. Not a viable option. Updating the bios is not something for the faint hearted. We hooked it up to our newer computer and everything went fine, but thats not where we wanted it. So it hard to reccomend this printer with the support so weak. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: GREAT Printer Review: I had to get a printer quick after mine just konked out. I did some research and this looked like the best deal for it's features. I love it. It prints terrific photos, and the regular every day black print is awesome and fast. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: My last HP printer Review: This printer has gotten little use in a year and a half due to many small problems that were fixable, but annoying. Now the print cartridge cradle is jammed. After exhausting the few suggestions offered in the manual and on line by HP, I called customer service and was offered the chance to pay $30 to speak to a technician...with no guarantees of success, and no credit towards any needed parts or labor. Maybe I'm spoiled, but with four HP printers and a fax in the house I somehow expected more.I'm throwing it out. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Flimsy as advertised... Review: As others have specified, things are flimsy. I've had this printer now for 389 days. And as the tech support person I talked to this evening, there is only a 365 day warranty...As others have said, it was the color cartridge that is no longer being recognized.I love(d) this printer... Decent software. Extremely happy with the prints. But after finding out that my "photo" printer is essentially now just a really fast (and that isn't really true with it in ink-backup mode) text printer, I'm not really thrilled with it anymore.Hopefully there's someone on eBay ready to buy the ink that I just dropped a gold mine on trying to debug this problem tonight... Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Highly Recommended! Review: "One of the most intriguing stories I've read in a long time...there was never a dull moment. This flawless story is fast-paced and easy to read. The well-developed characters practically leap off the pages..." Mary Monroe, bestselling author of God Don't Like Ugly and God Still Don't Like Ugly, and God Don't Play Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Deceptive and Ugly Review: The publisher lists a 2008 copyright date, but that is misleading. The book appears to be a photocopy of the 1949 edition of the book.It is not even a very good copy. The publisher did not bother to find a clean original, but used one that contained underlinings and notations by a previous owner. The photographs in the book are almost unrecognizable. At least one figure appears to have been redrawn crudely.I plan to return the book. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: In Which We Serve DVD Review: As most folks are aware, this is a classic war movie, so I'm not making any comments about the film itself; however, the quality of the DVD (both picture and sound) are rather poor, hence my only two stars for this review. I'm surprised that this film isn't part of the Criterion Collection. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Splendid Review: Wonderful perspective of the English view during wartime. Might seem a little phony at times, but keep in mind this is 1942 when the world looked at things differently.DVD quality (Westlake)is OK. The picture is excellant, however, about 2/3 of the way through, there were several bad glitches. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: In Which We Serve Review: With Britain in the pit of the Second War, playwright Coward was desperate to do a morale-boosting film, and "Serve" was the inspired result. The normally effete Coward is appropriately "stiff upper lip" as Kinross, and a young Mills stands out in a first rate ensemble cast which also includes Bernard Miles and Celia Johnson as Coward's wife. (Also look fast for a young Richard Attenborough!) With Coward at the helm as writer, star, and even score composer, David Lean handling most of the directing (and all the editing), and future director Ronald Neame the cinematography, the result is one of Britain's very finest war films, which accomplished everything Coward set out to do for his country. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Brings back memories Review: Only the British can make a war movie that truly represents how their armed forces actually worked, and this one is a great example of the RN in war Answer:

Is this product review positive? Title: Too good for words Review: I cannot even begin to describe how good this book is. And I'm considered by my friends as an extremely critical (of books and films) person.On the surface, this book is about homosexuality, art, and Poland during WWII.But it goes so much deeper than that, probing and illuminating the meaning of Fatherhood, Beauty, Longing, and the Holy.Its a book influenced by Judaism, Orthodoxy, Catholicism, Nazism, Modernism, and Mysticism.Some passages, in their prose, border on the best kind of poetry. There are several passages in this book that have burned into my mind. I don't think I shall forget them until I die.If you love Dostoevsky, you'll love this book.I know this is such a bad review. I didn't even try to explain it, because it is too good for that.You really will not regret reading this, no matter what your background.[btw, due to the disturbing (non-graphic) content, I wouldn't recommend this for anyone under the age of 15.] Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Very Good Story for Catholic Readers (and others!) Review: This is the second novel by O'Brien I've read, the first being "Father Elijah". Sophia House is a prequel to Father Elijah. The story is dramatic and the ideas in the book should be absorbed by Catholics (well, all Christians, but the intended audience is probably Catholic). And presenting the ideas in the form of such an accessible novel is wonderful. I genuinely liked the book although there is occasional weakness in the dialog. But keep reading anyway. The ending is dramatic and it left me wanting more. This book warrants re-reading but I think I'll go back and re-read Father Elijah first.Once again, Ignatius Press has published a book that really does matter. Answer:
Yes

Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: So Awesome Review: I am a huge P&P fan, and this book did not disappoint. Aidan did a great job in keeping up the general cadence of Austen's writing. Seeing things from Darcy's perspective was a dream come true. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Wish More Would Remain Review: Book 3 is the best in the series for no other reason than it puts readers in Darcy's head during the most important scenes in Pride and Prejudice. I still remember reading Pride and Prejudice the very first time and being surprised at Darcy's proposal and cheering Elizabeth when she slams him. This time, I honestly felt bad for him, knowing what was going on in his head through everything. Seeing his interactions with Wickam and Lydia and his reaction to Lady Catherine's interference with his life were ... capitol! :) I feel any fan of Pride and Prejudice would enjoy this series (and anyone who has seen the 1995 A&E movie version will probably picture Colin Firth as Darcy). Now if only Pamela Aiden would write some books focusing more on Fletcher and Georgiana and what becomes of them ... Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Ahhh! What an Ending! Review: I must start with a confession: This book covers my favorite parts of Pride and Prejudice so I was afraid I was going to be disappointed with how Darcy's point of view would influence the plot. After finishing the book I just shook my head at my foolish concerns.This series is so interesting. I just love many of the new characters. They add so much to Darcy's personality. And the depth at which returning characters are explored is so interesting. Pamela Aidan really was able to capture the life and times of Regency England's rising middle class and landholding gentry.This is just a wonderful conclusion to this series. I was so disappointed when I finished reading the whole series that I picked up the books and thumbed to my favorite parts and reread them.As someone who generally does not like to read sequels to classic novels, I loved the escapism and fun of this series. I recommend it to you. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Exceptional! Review: The incredible charm with which Pamela Aidan saturates her stories is so engrossing that it's nearly impossible to set down one her novels, or keep your emotions uninvolved with those of the characters. She brings you into the story effortlessly and keeps you riveted throughout. I've only just finished re-reading the whole trilogy, and I feel like I need to start again just to keep up with the enchantment! My life without Darcy, Elizabeth, Austen and Aidan? Unbearable! Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Enjoyed it, but a little bit of a let down Review: I expected this to be the best book of the three. Perhaps I was slightly disappointed simply because I already knew the story so well. I was so pulled into the Darcy story in book 2, that I guess I was hoping for more of him and less of Elizabeth. Certainly a surprising confession for a Jane Austen fan! By all means read the series of three books. You will not regret having spent the time as the books are well written and thought out from Darcy's perspective. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Best of three. Review: This is the best of Pamela Aidan's three books. It tells the story through Darcy's eyes, and stays pretty close to Jane Austen's story. I enjoyed it very much. This and the first book in this series is all you need. She went off on a silly tangent in Book 2. I almost didn't buy this book because of that book. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: These Three Remain (but maybe there'll be a fourth. . .) Review: These books ("An Assembly Such as This," "Duty and Desire," and "These Three Remain") are almost as good as "Pride and Prejudice" itself! They're fantastic! Aidan's writing captures the tone and style of Austen and the period naturally without sounding forced and awkward. Her description of the change in Darcy's outlook and personality is very convincing. The plot points about the French revolution, the assassination of the prime minister, and Irish rebels add another dimension to "Pride and Prejudice." Much good humor besides. Best of all, I can't wait to read more about another character she has created, Dy Brougham. Maybe she'll produce a fourth book. . . or better yet some producer will take this up and produce a movie. These are the best of the Pride and Prejudice sequels. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: These Three Remain (Fitzwilliam Darcy, Gentleman, Book 3) Review: The best of the three. It shows the dramatic change in Darcy and the lengths that he will go to secure Elizabeth's happiness, even if he might be excluded from her life. Thank heaven Pamela Aidan does not break our hearts and gives us a very happy ending. Loved the book. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Wonderful read! Review: What a terrific movie this book would make - possibly a 2.5 hr. movie for TV, since theaters seem to be dying. Actually, this is not a sequel, but a re-telling of P&P; from almost the beginning of the 1794 novel. And what an improvement over the dry writing of Jane Austen, notwithstanding her genius. (Her paraphrasing of so much of the great dialogue made the book a laborious read.)Aidan's brilliance shines from the beginning and created a Mr. Darcy who is so real that we must wonder why so much was left to the imagination of the reader in the original, whereas in this version there is such compelling interest.I wanted to devour this book when enchanted by the romantic lean and hint of eroticism. I made myself stretch it over three days to make it last longer.Perhaps Pamela Aidan will consider a sequel in keeping with the main characters. I'm sure it would also be a best seller. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Best of the trilogy Review: By far the best in the series. Book 1 moved a bit slowly I thought, but I still had to keep going...Book 2 was quicker, but the plot seemed a bit strange. Book 3, however, concludes the series exactly the way it should be concluded. Watching Darcy sputter out his first proposal and seeing the inner-workings of his mind upon rejection was fulfilling, although not nearly as much as seeing him finally accepted. Even though you know how the story ends, it's plenty of fun getting there. A great take on what Darcy's side of the story may have been. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: These Three Remain Review: This was a delightful reading experience as have been all of her books on this topic of the Road not Taken in Pride and Predjuice...please write more and tell me when they are available..Mom has been reading them as fast as i have...Thank you for a delightful read!!! Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Love it! Review: Of all three of these novels you really only need to read this one if you are a Pride and Prejudice fan. It is so entertaining reading about what Mr.Darcy thinks. Just shows guys don't know what is going on. One of my all time faves! Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Disappointing Review: I read a few sequels of "Pride and Prejudice" from different authors such as this one, and, frankly, I found them all a bit boring. It's very rare that authors will write a sequel of their novel. Victor Hugo never did and so other great novelists. So, why bother trying, I wonder. Because it never equals the real one. I won't finish reading this one, I will rather read again "Pride and Prejudice" from Jane Austen that is so brillantly written. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: waste of time Review: I appreciate her effort, but how can anyone improve on what is almost perfect. Re-read her (Austen's) novels. No one can imitate her style and wit and writing and come anywhere close. I am baffled by all these glowing reviews! Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Difficult language Review: This book seems written in the style of Jane Austin, not Georget Hayer.I have tried to get into it but find the prose too diffficult to proceed I intend to proceed some day but for now I must leave till I am in a better mood. Or my tastes have improved Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Well done Review: Although this volume alone (the last in the series)is longer than Austen's Pride and Prejudice, it is still great reading for all P & P fans. We know much more of Darcy's thoughts here than of Elizabeth's in Austen's work, but they are in keeping with the tone of Pride and Prejudice. The writing is good enough to keep the story moving well. The conclusion of a couple of "side" plots adds to the enjoyment. Highly recommended. Answer:
Yes

I love tango music and Buenos Aires. This SACD is tango in the atonal mode. Some may like it but it is not classical tango. If Stravinsky were alive today this would be his tango music.

Includes Cannibal Women in the Avocade Jungle of Death (paraody of Apocalypse Now), Parasite (Demi Moore fights mutant bug), Laserblast (ray gun goes berserk), Petticoat Planet (space pilot crashes on female Wild West planet), Head of the Family (lovely and lively Jacqueline Lovell versus mutants), Hideous (ditto, with infamous gorilla mask hijacking scene), The Creeps (monsters of literature become flesh, but half-size), Curse of the Puppet Master (part of excellent Puppet Master series), Retro Puppet Master (ditto), Bloodstorm (part of excellent Subpsecies series about Radu the Vampire), Vampire Journals (ditto), Witchouse (witch returns for revenge against her accusers' descendants), Castle Freak (monster in the mansion) and The Dead Hate the Living (low budget filmakers revive zombies).

Is this product review positive? Title: good practice Review: My daughter really enjoyed these books. We have completed books 1-4. We started in Pre-k 4 with the first 2 books and completed the second two in K in about 3 months, completing 2-3 pages a day. I am glad we split the 4 books between the two grades. The first two books are great because as others said they have pre-writing skill practice, listening to simple directions, coloring, shape recognition. But books 3 & 4 had more difficult (for age level) following instructions/memorization etc. Great to wait because the challenge was perfect for her current skill level in K. In book 4, need to write short words, numbers, complete pictures and sequencing. Looking for something similar in challenge and skill practice to finish out our school year. The black and white pictures did not bother her at all. Answer and instruction guide in the back of each book. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Not useful at all Review: I got this book thinking that it was a step above the other activity books our 4yr old had been using. Turns out it's not only unuseful (since much of it requires the teacher's version for full activity), but also non-captivating to today's child. All black & white and quite boring to the eye. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: If you like Casio Keyboard music, this box set is for you Review: This CD has very poor "Casio Keyboard" quality tracks. Maybe adequate for beginners learning basic tempos of certain dances, but not worth much more. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Cheeeesy! Review: Two stars is generous! The "strict tempos" on these CD's sound like they were provided by a digital drum machine. Some of the tracks are completely synthesized, and they sound like it -- cheeeeesy! The tracks with the trumpet (or is it a flugelhorn?) and electric guitar are somewhat better. All but one of the tangos rate one star. Some of the waltzes and sambas rate two stars. The rumbas and mambos are uninspired. The cha chas don't. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Bravo Alicia! Review: There's nothing like a soul singer who plays the piano, and like Aretha and Roberta before her, Alicia Keys knows how to take possession of keyboards and work her voice around her playing. This disc, while not "Unplugged" in the technical sense, gives Alicia a chance to shine, and her playing and singing are impeccable.All the hits are here ("Falling" still sounds great, and "You Don't Know My Name" beats the original in this production), along with some clever covers - her version of "Every Little Bit Hurts" is right up there with Brenda Holloway's original, and while some Stones purists might balk, I really enjoyed the version of "Wild Horses" on this project. And the closing number "Welcome To Jamrock", a Damian Marley song that features he and Keys, along with Common and Mos Def is a perfect wrap for this show.Truly great stuff, from a performer who is maturing into a true artist. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: This CD is off the chain! Review: I have enjoyed this cd. I wasn't able to watch the actual show on MTV, but I felt as if I were right there in the audience. It has all of my favorites songs from her album all in one. Answer:

Is this product review positive? Title: A REAL Singer Review: I watched Alicia on MTV UNPLUGGED. Had to buy the CD. She has proven that she is A REAL SINGER. Her voice doesn't need the engineers help to make her sound GREAT. And her background singers are just fabulous. If you haven't bought this CD GO BUY IT NOW. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: I have a question Review: Would Alicia Keys have a major record label is she was not pretty. There are tons of better singers, songwriters, piano players then her but they are not actrative like alicia. One more thing why did she do a duet with that sissy for marron 5 could'nt she got someone less lame and mainstream. The other guest artists on here have cds to promote so that is why they are here. If mtv is going to bring back unplugged then get bands and singers that sound good acoustic. Mtv really sucks they should just change there name to Reality tv that way people would not complain about then not playing videos that much. Mtv used to be great when i was younger i watch it all the time it was i think TRL that ruin it. Don't be suprised if next they come out with a ashlee simpson unplug cd now that is a thought that would make you cringe. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: A Worthwile Album Review: Before I begin my review of Alicia's Unplugged album, let me state that in listening to music, I do not look for perfection, but rather, emotion. It is safe to say that Alicia's vocals are not of the utmost perfection on this album. It is obvious that her voice is a bit strained and she does fall flat on a couple of incidences. However, Alicia never fails to deliver raw emotion, which is always absolutely beautiful. Her versions of "Diary" and "Fallin" deliver the most emotion in my opinion and are the true gems on the album. On "Fallin" Alicia sounds as if she is simply pouring her heart out. I even welcome her hoarsness, especially evident on this track. This album can be played from start to finish without skipping a single track, and is worth buying if only for the new versions of "Diary" and Fallin." Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: MAGNIFICENT! Review: "Unplugged" from Alicia Keys is long overdue. I assumed that she would release a live album after "Songs in A Minor", but I guess it was worth the wait. The stand out track on this masterpeice, is obviously "Unbreakable", the lead single from the album. I think that it was a smart move on Clive Davis and Alicia for choosing that song as the first single. The rest of the album is just as good. I love the way she has rearranged some of her hits, in a way that makes them brand new again. I love it and if you are reading this, the clips on CDNOW is not enough, go get the full effect! LET"S MAKE THIS ALBUM A DIAMOND RECORD! Answer:
Yes

Title: alicia has WOWed the crowd Review: i love this live performance, which alicia begins with an a capella prayer. she truly shines with every song she sings. it's difficult to choose which track is my favorite...they're all great! and i wish i had half the piano talent she does. this is a must have for all alicia keys fans -- and mtv unplugged collectors like myself, as well!

Is this product review positive? Title: Oh, my goodness alicia you are so bad Review: this girl is so annoying, can someone get her off the air waves. she sounds so congested (her voice) its so rough and nasal, you can tell she's been twinging her vocals through the computer for her albums. I think she should become a hermit, cause girl, you aint popular anymore! Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Unbreakable SUCKS Review: That song is so lame and wack. The chrous is really lame "Through The Technical Difficulties" what the hell? Only Alicia Keys would squeeze in something so lame and stupid. But besides this on going sample of a song that artists have using since the original been out is getting on my nerves. Come on she could of dropped something more original and well thoughtout then this Unbreakable. This is some mess her label done through together to keep her name out there and it worked. Alicia composed an Unplugged album to keep people saying Alicia Keys is so talented, Alicia Keys can sing, Alicia Keys is the best artists out today. But come to think about when was the last time MTV hosted an Unplugged Special? I am tired of Alicia Keys, she hasn't taken a real break since her debut and her singing is very average as people have been mentioning. Beyonce can sing better then Alicia Keys. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: New title for this should be: "Arrangements Gone Wrong" Review: I absolutely adore Alicia Keys and her phenominal talent. I enjoy listening to her rich vocals and emotional buy in to every song she sings. BUT, the arrangements of these songs are so WRONG on this recording, it was a humongous distraction that I could not get past. It felt like I was hearing some of the songs for the first time; not something I was liking. Nearly every song was dipped in a jazz tone, which certainly did not accentuate her R&B; style. The background vocals were too funky at times and the supporting band was anything but smooth.One plus for this album was it was Alicia Keys after all. I'm glad to hear her perform, but just not these arrangements. This CD will either gather dust on my shelf or be eBayed, sad to say.Bottom line: Even die hard Alicia Keys fans may have trouble digesting this, soley on the crummy arrangements it brings. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Copy-protection DESTROYS the listening experience Review: I was so shocked when I saw that ugly "content protected" logo on this CD. Copy protection means that this CD is incompatible with the iPod, the largest-selling MP3 player in the world. Why Sony/BMG would knowingly make a CD that can't be used on iTunes is a mystery. Copy-protection lessens the customer experience and alienates honest consumers who use iPods. Of course, you could burn a copy of this CD and rip it back to iTunes, but who has the patience for that? I have the right to rip my CDs directly into iTunes without any hassle whatsoever. But thanks to the geniuses at Sony, that isn't a possibility. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: we've heard enough Review: come on people, she's not that great...give other new women a chance and let her go...she's no Stevie Wonder so stop pretending Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Protection Prevents you from playing Review: I'm pissed off that I got this CD and can't load it to my iPod!!! The CD won't even play on RealPlayer, Windows Media Player or anything else, except the software that the CD has on it that you must install onto your computer. You can only play this CD with the CD's software!!! BAD! I paid for it, I want to do what I want with it! Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Copy protection is dangerous Review: I never buy copy protected CDs because the tecnhiques that the record labels use to implement the copy protection breaks my computer. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Only if you like living dangerously Review: Here is another CD spoiled by copy protection that will play unknown havoc with your computer if you dare to insert it in a CD drive. Avoid until it gets rereleased as a real CD. I used to be a Keys fan but I'm having second thoughts. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: CD exposes PCs to viruses Review: This CD contains MediaMax DRM copy protection which exposes all PCs to viruses. This CD installs software to a user's PC EVEN if the user answers "No" to the End User License.Stay away from all Sony CDs with MediaMax software - otherwise risk corruption of your computer. Hopefully, Sony will do the right thing and recall these 6 Million+ CDs before they do any more harm. (Sony already recalled the other 4 Million CDs that contained XCP spyware.) Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: The Girl Needs Some Vocal Rest!!! Review: One of the most important things before a live show is to make sure that you have your vocal chords nice and rested. This entire cd is good but Alicia's voice is shot. Hoarse vocals lead to bad recordings but luckily Alicia still had her other talents to save this cd from being a total failure. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Do not buy copy protected CDs Review: Copy protected CDs are an abomination and should be vigorously boycotted. DO NOT BUY THIS CD. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: very talented musical artist Review: we know most of the songs from the first 2 albums so I will give opinions on the several new songsunbreakable has perfect vocals and a good melody but overplaying it gets on my nerves. Wild Horses is ruined by non singing adam levine though the piano intro was promising. Streets of New York is a musical genius with live instruments recreating the sounds of new york through musical instruments, beautifulI have yet to buy this concert on dvd but when I do I'm sure it'll be great Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Alicia Keys is Unbreakable "...Through The Technical Difficulties" Review: I love this album! I perfer music like this rather than some of the gangsta rap that is out now. Being a male, I didn't think that I would be interested in getting this album, but when MTV kept on playing that little snippet of her song "Unbreakable" at the end of every MTV show, I was instently hooked onto Alicia Keys. Go buy this album, male or female. Just look how high this album ranks on the Amazon.com CD list. So far it ranks #6 out of what...a million?P.S. My favorite song is Diary on this album!!! Holla!!! Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Overrated vocalist Review: She has the looks and the personality for this industry but this Unplugged Album does not show-case her vocal ability. She needs to grow vocally and she hasn't yet. "Unbreakable" sucks. Too chessy. I was expecting her to really vocally step up her game but she can't. I give this album 2 stars just for effort only. Expected more from her vocally. MTV is happy however, instant cash. The music industry thinks we are dumb. She needs to work on her lack of indentity, vocal range, and originality. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Political Intrigue! Review: I love this stuff. I'm a big fan of 24- and, hey, there is a sutherland in this movie. I won't give away the plot, but it is complicated and engaging. The movie was really well acted and intricately conceived. The score is a bit to Euro for me, but the movie made me really interested in this disaster and potential cover-up (check out the Discovery documentary). Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Absolute Garbage Review: I bought this on the strength of the 2 reviews posted here and after seeing a docu on Discovery about the Estonia, but believe me when I say this film is absolutely atrocious !! The acting is dire, how the 3 main actors got involved amazes me - were they short of money? The story is, despite the controversy surrounding the sinking, absolute fantasy on a grand scale. Sure there are some premises here invovling a possible explosion etc but COME ON !!Avoid this disaster at ALL costs !! Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Pre-Trib Propaganda Review: Just more pre-trib propaganda. There is not a single verse in the Bible that says the Rapture will be before the Tribulation. In fact Jesus told us the very opposite (read Matthew 24:29-31 very carefully). Revelation 20:4,5 tells us that the saints martyred in the Tribulation will be in the First Resurrection. The First Resurrection is the RAPTURE! The Rapture is obviously after the Tribulation! It's time to wake up and accept the truth. Place your trust in Jesus Christ not in fictional escapism. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Warning--not the book that the title/description suggest! Review: I picked this book up thinking that it was about the psychology of gamblers and gaming, and was ultimately disappointed. This is a book about literature, authors, and fictional characters, and there is no real psychology or non-fictional content about gambling at all! Knapp devotes each of nine chapters to a different author and a specific character from that author's work. All of these characters happen to be gamblers, but even the use of "gambler" is loosely defined--some of the characters could be better classified as "people who make a decision with some risk." Most of the book's content thus focuses upon the nine authors, and how they created these characters in their works.Perhaps if I had been a student of literature, I might have found this book interesting. However, as a reader who was looking for insight into the psychology of gambling, I was extremely disappointed, and, frankly, quite bored by this book. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: I find most business books intimidating... Review: ... but this one is easy to read. I consider myself a slow reader but I read this one in less than an hour. This book will be valuable to the beginner, but also has plenty of information that will help the seasoned professional.You would have to read ten traditional business books, and spend hundreds of hours, to learn the same things you can get in 45 minutes by reading the VP of NO. It has my highest recommendation. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Excellent, Simplified Approach to Selling Review: This book cuts through the baloney that you will find in most selling books and seminars. It is simple and straightforward, yet informative and useful to any new or seasoned salesperson. In today's world more than ever, success in sales depends upon having a streamlined approach and message for the prospective customer. This book helped me to understand that more clearly, and I would definitely recommend this book to anybody. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Succinct buy deadly accurate :-) Review: I guess like most people you'll read this and think "yes, that's obvious", but the book covers virtually all the steps a good salesperson follows and which most learn (badly!), losing good prospects along the way until they build their own collection of "lightbulb" moments the hard way. If you've got sales staff with short attention spans but who could benefit from the experience of others - without losing customers - it's a super, compelling read. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Mainly a waste of time Review: I think you will find this book useful in only two instances:1) you can't get your hands on Intel's manuals (available from the Intel website);2) you need a pep-talk on what makes Wintel so wonderful.The book primarily rephrases the Intel manuals, with significantly less information (the chapter on running the processor with a flat memory model is 3 pages long). Also, the regular editorials on The Right Way to write operating systems (ie. the way Microsoft has done it), really grate on the nerves.The author's credits include "corporate" training on systems design, and this book reads like a converted PowerPoint presentation. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Too big a title for too small a book Review: This book has no substance.I realize the time and effort and mostly good intentions that may go into writing a good book, but if you're planning to design systems using the so called 'protected mode' from intel chips, beware of this material, as I wish I could have been warned.Sadly, I have no recommendations to offer, as I'm looking for a valuable one myself. I don't see how this can be called 'reference' material. Seems more to me like 'meandering' discussions on what an OS should be... Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Terrible print quality Review: The content of the book is great.The print quality is terrible. It looks like the publisher tried to save on ink by not fully printing letters. By this I mean that if you look close you can see white (no-ink) dots within all the letters. Very annoying and disappointing. Answer:
No

Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: School House Rock - ROCKS! Review: I'm always singing the lyrics to some of these to my grandbaby without remembering them correctly. I played it for her the other night. Her eyes lit up and she giggled as she heard the songs I had attempted to sing. Now she can watch and listen to them. What a great time we had. My son learned these when they were on TV as originals. This is a great learning tool and I recommend it to everyone with young kids! Answer:
Yes

Is this product review positive? Title: Great Educational Tool! Review: Our whole family loves this DVD. It's a great tool to learning the basics. From the preamble, to the westward expansion to "Where the Money Goes," this is a great selection of videos to have on the shelf. Everyone will love it. Catchy tunes and great info! Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: It's addicting Review: Back when learning was fun and was filled with more information than special effects and crazy antics. All of the songs are here including a new "lost" track. Within the menu you can choose an individual video, by group (science, grammar, etc) or click on The Whole Enchilada for it to go through all of them.This is something that is good for either younger children or those who have not been subjected to the barrage of the new tween soap dramas. The information is a bit outdated with references to record players and a computer that most children this generation have never seen, however the jungles are catchy and the core material is there. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Loven it Review: Ok great and it also taught me a few things I didn't know or don't remember I love the money segment oh 1000% worth it a must buy for little my motto is they might as well learn while watching tv. Answer:
Yes

Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Great learning tool Review: As a language arts teacher I have used an old video of Grammar Rock for well over 15 years... the tape finally wore out and I invested in this new version. Everything on the tape is educational so it makes a great filler for days in which you need to come up with a quick educational activity. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Takes me back in time! Review: Love it! It definitely takes me back to my childhood. I still remember most of the songs. The best part is my five year old is into it too. He now knows what adjectives are and we have fun trying to come up with adjectives for all of our outings. He's great at it. We also have the cd so he sings along with me in the car. He's learning a lot and having fun too. Answer:
Yes

My children are now adults but grew up on "Schoolhouse Rock". I thought it would be wonderful for my grandchildren to have this product, but never imagined that I would have found it or it was still available.

I love your on-line site and the many products you make available to your customers at prices that are affordable. The way the economy has taken a turn for the worse, your prices and the many sales you have are a blessing to many. HAPPY HOLIDAYS! Answer:
Yes
