Title: Not very durable
Review: This item was not very durable. After only a couple months the suede started to wear and rip open almost like it rotten. Pieces of it tear off easily and I now have big holes. They are also very bulky and heavy for a slipper. Unfortunately its too late for me to return it. I will think twice before ordering this brand again.

Title: Bought them for my husband and he loves it!
Review: Great price for such a comfortable pair of indoor slippers. I was wary of another reviewer's comment about the triangular logo that's stitched exactly where the heels will be resting on. But I'm glad my husband said it was perfectly alright and he didn't think of it at all. Since he wears it daily and likes it, I consider it money well spent.

Title: Only look good...
Review: I ordered these shoes for my husband and they run very narrow, he no longer wears them.He now has a new pair from another company for the comfort he needs after a long dayat work. I also ordered a similar pair for myself by Daniel Green, they, too were adisappointment, as well. You will have a problem in cleaning them, too. I did find outhow to clean my Daniel Green's, but after the shoes were cleaned, they were tighter onmy feet. These were meant as houseshoes or slippers for comfort at home, this did notprove to be the case for me.

Title: scuff, I love it!
Review: I bought this for my boyfriend... but I love it so much that I actually use it when he's not around!The fit is rather skinny. I wouldn't recommend this if you have wide feet. My bf has narrow and long feet (he always tightens his sneakers as tight as possible)so this worked out perfectly for him.What I love about this is the cushion and that it stays in shape even when you're not wearing it - so easy to slide your feet in!My current one is a soft microfiber one which I have to wiggle around to squish my feet in the slippers. Small difference, but big plus for the scuff slippers.the patterns inside reminds me of British boy's uniform.. don't ask me why, but adds a hint of classiness to the design. + I can tell it's quite durable. durable enough to occasionally wear it outdoors. Good buy! I'm glad I didn't settle for those cheap ones!

Title: Great Book!
Review: I am fairly young and recently widowed and I never would have thought I would get anything out of this book but I happened upon it in the bookstore and I was totally wrong. This is the first book that really hit home with me. I feel that a lot of the ideas that Dr. Joyce Brothers presented really validated my feelings and as a psychologist really explained it such as the scientific explanation of how tears help in the healing process. I definitely recommend it.

Title: Painful to listen to
Review: Whoever paired Johnny Cash with the producer and backup musicians on this album ought to be shot. "Overproduced" is an understatement on a number of these tracks."(Ghost) Riders in the Sky" was the big single on this album, but it hasn't aged well, tinkling synthesizers and guitars with special effects sound especially jarring with Cash's rough hewn voice.Trust me, you buy this album, you'll listen to it once....but I'll wager you don't listen to it a second time.

Title: Pat Boone - 'In A Metal Mood: No More Mr. Nice Guy' (Hip-O Records)
Review: Review no. 105. I remember when this (un)expected CD hit the stores + shocking (sort to speak) the music world. Twelve tracks of the beloved Mr. Boone giving metal / hard rock classics his personal touch. I'll say this much for Pat Boone - he came up with an idea that certainly was completely original. I mean - he took songs like Alice Cooper's "No More Mr. Nice Guy", Metallica's "Enter Sandman", Guns 'N Rose's "Paradise City" and Ozzy's mainstay "Crazy Train" (to name a few) and had managed to make them sound entirely like a different song altogether. Too much of a crack-up to give a one-star rating. Deserves a two-star rating for the novelty alone.

Title: Greatest Concept Album Ever
Review: Seriously, if the concept is how to arrange a ton of rock songs into snappy, Frank Sinatra-esque arrangements this albums is top notch. Not only is it totally hilarious hearing Pat Boone talking about "getting stoned" on his long way to the top if you want to rock and roll, the production values are outstanding. I will literally snap my fingers to some of the gems on here. Even the songs that don't seem to fit work in some bizarre way (like Love Hurts). I cannot recommend this album any more. It is truly a high water mark of our civilization.

Title: More twisted than William Shatner doing Mr. Tambourine Man
Review: I had thought that William Shatner's renditions of "Mr. Tambourine Man" and "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds" were the apotheosis of twisted cover tunes. I was wrong, incredibly wrong, Pat Boone serves up 12 of the most twisted cover tunes ever done, including a big band version of "Stairway to Heaven" that probably has John Bonham spinning in his grave at 33 and 1/3rd RPM. The brassy, big band arrangements, backup singers and Boone's mumbling vocal stylings combine to form one twisted album that's an absolute howl. Fans of this sort of thing can only hope that a collaboration is in the works between Boone and William Shatner. Now that would be an album even funnier than this one.

Title: Best Left to the Imagination
Review: Trust me, what you imagine this CD might be like is a lot more entertaining than the disc itself. If the idea of this project appeals to you, pick up LOUNGEAPALOOZA or ANYTHING ELSE. You'll thank yourself, if not me.This thing might be worth having for the orchestrations and the backing vocals, which are darned decent, but our Mr. Boone is a total loss, even as a joke.If you've heard the world-class lameness of his AIN'T THAT A SHAME (He wanted to record it as ISN'T THAT A SHAME but even Pat had to admit it just didn't work.), then you already know he can't sing rocknroll. The bizarre thing is that he can't sing SWING, either. Mr. Boone's legacy seems fated to remain, "See the USA in your Chevrolet." Ah well. It's more than I ever accomplished.

Title: A Real Oddity
Review: If you think the idea of Pat Boone attempting to sing heavy metal is bizarre, just listen to this little horror. Howver, as comedy, it is somewhat entertaining, with the same mixture of hilarity and revulsion to be found in watching "Silence of the Lambs" or "Night of the Living Dead." Musically, it is absolutely dreadful; however, in fairness to Mr. Boone, the worst cut on this disc is vastly superior to the best of anything ever done by Wayne Newton, although that is not saying a great deal; the same claim could be made for the Chipmunks. Be that as it may, this is a moderately enjoyable work of comedy for those whose tastes lean towards the weird.

In fact, when I heard this thing, I wanted to grab my entire music collection and run, screaming in horror, for the nearest cliff. And what's with that album cover? Is this guy for real?

Title: My ears, oh no, my ears!
Review: This presentation of Mr. Boone's deserves a 1 for effort, a 5 for the best bad thing I've ever heard. He made of mess of Little Richard's "Tutti Fruitti" way back when. So, in keeping with such destruction, he went after our precious metal hits. Funny stuff, though. I keep thinking of the those sad off the strip casino bands trying to entertain folks who just want a $1.99 breakfast and a win at the nickel machines.

Title: This is worse than I thought
Review: I thought that Pat Boone was going to eschew his sqeeky clean image and sort of goof on himself by doing metal (of course "The Wind Cries Mary" is not metal but... whatever). Instead, the arrangements do justice to Nelson Riddle. A good goof on himself would have been Ibanez guitars roaring with the distortion petals activated. Rather, we get a 1940s big band sound. If this is a goof, it is a subtle one that went right by me. I actually think the guy was serious.

Title: Old White Bucks is back...in black
Review: Here we have "Mr. Soft, Safe and Sanitized" himself taking a crack at some hard rock songs. The songs are rearranged in a big band style, which doesn't really work, although "Smoke On the Water" is kinda fun. For someone that was one of the original rock and roll stars, Pat still has no feel for singing rock songs. Some people might think this album is "so bad, it's good". I'll admit that listening to one or two of these songs can be amusing, but after hearing a whole album of it, I'm saying "enough already!".

Title: Why, God, Why?!
Review: Pat Boone singing heavy metal songs? No, unfortunately, this isn't a joke, this is all too real. This is really Pat Boone singing Metallica, Judas Priest, and Van Halen songs. I'm not an expert on theology, but I'm pretty sure this is a sign of the Apocalypse. Actually, the Judas Priest one isn't too bad, but the rest is pretty horrific. Hey, it's cool that he, of all people, has enough respect for this kind of music to do this, but you know, sometimes, when you get an idea to do something, you gotta consider the possibility that it's just not a good idea. I mean, what's next, Neil Diamond singing gansta rap songs?!

Title: Here's To You, Pat!
Review: Yeah, yeah, all the so-called "hip" people think you're "squeaky clean," blah-blah-blah. Like, I imagine, their opinion means zilch, anyway...Even the Amazon reviewer seems to've missed the joke. But the material you chose on this CD, just like the material Richard Cheese chooses (WHEW! Alliteration there!), and like the late, great Big Daddy chose, just simply BEGS for..."reinterpretation." Go for it, Dudesicle, and I wonder just how many "hip" people know that Ozzy and his progeny called you the perfect next door neighbor? Truth is, YOUR presence on "The Osbourne Family Album" kind of...well...exposes LAME, LAME stuff "Slowhand's" "Wonderful Tonight" or Lennon's "Imagine." Sometimes some "artistes" NEED to have their self-righteous bubbles popped.

Title: Protect Your Glasses!
Review: I've always worn Chums, as my eyeglasses often get flung off or dropped. Nobody likes bending crooked frames or getting scratched lenses. Specifically, I use Chums when I am skiing (goggles hold them until you fall), riding in a boat while SCUBA diving or water-skiing (that wind will rip your glasses right off) or simply when walking, running or bending over. They are an inexpensive and simple solution to protecting your eyewear.Here's what CHUMS has to say:"Cotton Original. Torture tested under the most punishing condition to ensure maximum wear and fail-safe retention. Proven to withstand:1) White water rafting2) 200 mph freefalls3) 10-year old on sugar".I'm sold. These are a protective bargain.

Title: Find Another Book
Review: I purchased this book for $1 at some dollar store. I overpaid.The "secrets" revealed in this book are available in any simple entrepreneur magazine article on-line. The stories used to exemplify the "secrets" are set in the boom and bust years of dotcoms. The stories don't actually correlate to the "secret" discussed in the chapter, are about teenage angst and not business or just ring as gimmicks during a gimmick era. Beanie Babies? Cyber Squatting? Stealing another companies idea, modifying their business model and beating them to market then shuttering the company in under a year? Not a solid foundations for starting a successful "company" built for longevity. In fact, you can see the short shelf life of the "companies" he started through out the book.The only reason this book was published was the age of the author. He's just another dotcom gimmick to avoid.

Title: Both a scientific and a spiritual treatise
Review: Radical Nature: Rediscovering The Soul Of Matter by Christian de Quincey (Professor of Philosophy and Consciousness Studies, John F. Kennedy University) is both a scientific and a spiritual treatise that meditates upon the essence of the soul and the spiritual existence of all life forms, including trees, animals, and of course humans. Presenting Professor de Quincy's conviction that consciousness exists down to the level of single-cell animals and beyond, Radical Nature is a intriguing study offering a transcendental viewpoint of living things. Radical Nature is very highly recommended reading for students of philosophy, metaphysics, spirituality, the nature of nature, and how the phenomena of consciousness is present in the physical world around us.

Title: How to heal the planet
Review: If you love nature, animals, plants, planet and cosmos, you've got to read this book. Yes, it takes you deep into philosophy but the poetry of the language makes it come alive in your hands. You will feel you live in a different world once you immerse yourself in the ideas. The author clearly knows what he is talking about, and you will wonder why so many scientists still think that nature is mindless. I used to wonder why humans have made such a mess of the environment, now I know why. And de Quincy lays it all out step by step about how we can get back on the right track. It's a book about nature. It's a book about consciousness. It's a book that vibrates with spirit and soul. It's a book about the power of stories. As he says, "stories matter, and matter stories." Excellent.

Title: Very fine pen.
Review: Pen just arrived the other day, and I must say I've very impressed. The build is superb, and really feels like it could last forever. My only complaint (which, is not a complaint against the pen itself), is that, even with a fine tip, the line thickness is still a bit to much for me. This obviously isn't affecting my rating on the product because it's not the pen's fault that I prefer very very fine lines. Fortunately I found were I can purchase just the nibs for the Cross Century 2 pens and so I'll likely pick up a very fine nib in the future.

Title: Great singer who died young
Review: Fernando Fernández (1934-81), who died tragically young (from a heart attack according to one source, from a cerebral hemorrhage according to another) was a Gypsy with a rajo voice who was a master of the cantes of his native Jerez — soleares, seguiriyas and bulerías. Perhaps because of the scarcity of material (he recorded comparatively little), the material on this album is not always totally felicitous — e.g. there are moments when the accompanist is going in a different direction from the singer. However, there is much to enjoy, particularly the Fiesta por Bulerías at the end with Romerito, El Borrico, El Diamante Negro, El Sordera and El Sernita.Guitarists are Paco de Antequera on two tracks, Manuel Morao on the rest.The total time is 40'00".

Title: panchal
Review: These cards are great. They have hints and suggestions for the adults on the reverse side. The images are not always the best options. The cards are not as durable as they say. I am overall happy with them. These cards are simplier then the other ones. Great for showing the basics of color, numbers, and objects.

Title: Travel writing at it's best and most eloquent
Review: Again, Mr. Morton has presented a travel guide in the most eloquent manner. Lovely to read, without all of the "Where's the closest MacDonalds" information that fills so many of the current travel guides.

Title: COOL BREEZE... DON'T KNOW WHY THIS AMCOR MODEL IS TAKING SO MUCH HEAT...
Review: I'm not sure why this Amcor Portable Air Conditioner is taking so much heat from reviewers, but I can speak from my personal experience that I have had an Amcor Portable Air Conditioner (the 12000M model) that has been keeping my family cool for over three years... one room at a time. No, you are not going to cool down your 50,000 sq feet mansion, because this unit was not designed for that. I have had rooms that have had challenging window designs where standard window mounted air conditioners were an impossibility, and Amcor offered a solution. Hook-up is a piece of cake. Highly recommend!

Title: Sloppy & Biased
Review: I read the book and thought it was pretty good. That is, until I learned from a lecturer about its mistakes. There is a picture in the book captioned as being of Pickett when in fact it's another man altogether. You'd think someone who did their research and wrote a book on this man would at least get that right. In another part of the book there's a quote from one of Pickett's men. The author edited the real quote and ended up leaving the last part off trying to portray Pickett as a drunk. It seems as though the author had other motives than revealing truths when she wrote this book.

Title: This book is as close to fiction as a biography can be.
Review: Gordon's research is indeed thorough but in a failed attempt to come up with a new angle on Gen. Pickett she has rashly and by all accounts innaccurately, drawn many an absurd and far fetched conclusion. Her accusations are both silly and shameless, and supported by nothing more than the common misconceptions about the General that became popular after the war. For a more credible biography of General Pickett see Edward G. Longacre's "Leader of the Charge."

Title: A story of devotion and an Impossible (?) Romance
Review: POSSIBLE SPOILERS!! I first saw this movie on TV as a kid and I never forgot it. The ending haunted me. But I really enjoyed watching it again. Who knew Joan Collins could ACT? She brings a quiet determination and yet a fierceness to her part. And Richard Burton? I gotta say, it would be a tough choice as the movie shows. I understand that he did not want to do this movie but he still is Richard Burton and he graces anything he is in. Cy Grant, who died this year I believe, had a very distinguished career in Great Britain and was a well-loved figure, I understand. He brought dignity to his role. But of course, this being a movie of 40 yeas ago or so, you knew his fate right off. But it's kind of like the "Red-Shirts' of Star Trek. Oh well. But all in all, a wonderful story about an impossible (?) romance. The DVD set I bought has some very nice (and unusual) extras. Well worth the small price I paid.

Title: Christmas gift for grandson
Review: I bought the book "Michael Crichton: A New Collection of Three Complete Novels: Congo, Sphere, Eaters of the Dead" for my 20 year old grandson for Christmas and he was very excited about getting it. As soon as he finishes the book he is reading now, he will read it immediately. I received the book in just a few days. I was really impressed with the timely manner given that it was just a few weeks before Christmas.

Title: Sarah? Maybe, Martha. . .
Review: Sarah Canary was required reading for this year's Bluffton Univ. Eng. Festival. Karen Joy Fowler was the guest author. Upon reading the book, I immediately thought of Calamity Jane as being Sarah Canary - but her name was Martha. She died of syphillus, so going crazy toward the end was quite possible. Until meeting Ms. Fowler, I never considered Sarah an alien and I didn't read the book with a dry sense of humor. Having met and spoken with the author, I look forward to reading the book again. She can really weave a story.

Title: Smart, Unclassifiable Ride
Review: Reading this book was an odd experience. The historical setting was convincing, the characters strange and alive, the commentary disturbing. Sarah Canary herself is an enigma; we never discover who she is or why she's here, but those who meet her are held captive by her spell. The novel bogs down in the middle, but the end is heartbreaking and inevitable.

Title: Odd And Compelling
Review: A very odd and compelling story. I found it difficult to believe the actions of most of the characters in this story. B.J. was the most believable. The workings of his mind were interesting to follow, being humorous at times and insightful at other times. The main pull of the story, for me, was to find out what is Sarah Canary and what happens to her. I was disappointed in this regard, as this issue was never satisfactorily resolved. It was an interesting story, but failed to answer the many questions that were raised throughout. The book seemed to dissipate rather than end. I would be interested to hear a discussion group's insight on this book. Maybe there is something I am missing.

Title: A quirky, unclassifiable book, but not my bag.
Review: I would recommend this book to literary types, anyone who like the movie "The Piano", & maybe even Northern Exposure fans. This book skirts many genres Western, science fiction, fantasy, quest novel, & mainstream literature without really belonging in any of them. The moments about oddball history were my favorites. Also Fowler is willing to show the negative sides of feminists(In fact I thought the feminist character was rather unpleasant & as exploitive of sarah as anyone) Although the feminist agenda is there & I think that's what turned me off. (I remember all the "sane" white males being unpleasant, but that may not be true.) The idea that the eccentrics are ,perhaps, better people is appealing & the book has a certain charm. This is a book that I think some will absolutely love, I'm just not one of them.

Title: Can't wait for the last page
Review: I find this book slow, superficial, and dull. I keep waiting for something to happen, especially since a lot of people really really enjoy this book - am I missing something?I can't understand Chin's obsession with following Sarah around. I can't understand any of the characters' motivations and the plot doesn't flow, and neither do any descriptions or ideas.I can't wait to be finished with this book so I can start a new one (I don't like putting down books, especially since I've gotten so far)

Title: Didn't like it.
Review: I just could not get into this book. To me it was one of those where it didn't take long for me to realize that I just didn't want to read much further. I admit that maybe I should have given it a better chance and many times I'll do just that in spite of the fact that a book starts off boring but I simply had no inclination to read much more then 30 or so pages.

Title: Pooh-Yuck!
Review: NO,No,No, you don't want to read this. I kept waiting for something, anything to make sense. Alot of rambling on and on about oddball historical events in the past that had nothing to do with the actual story except the fact that the story was oddball enough. And who was this Sarah Canary? We never find out! We never really find out why she is mad, where she came from, where she was going. We only catch her in the middle of her journey where she runs across several other oddball characters that are not endearing or interesting. All in all Pooh-Yuck, a waste of money and time!

Title: This toy is NOT as tough as the product review claims it is
Review: According to the product review this toy should "stand up to hours of aggressive play" yet, it fell apart in less than 5 minutes of play. The balls appear to be too heavy for the center. This causes the ball part to literally tear off of the center.If your dog is rough on toys, keep searching.

Title: Dreary
Review: I may be in the minority, but I found this book dreary, never-ending, and never going anywhere. Interesting period, but a waste of time. Presumptuous to think that this would be a great read for a book club (re: the pages at the back of the book containing discussion questions, and even the authors notes). May be thought provoking for high schoolers, if they can get through it.

Title: Potboiler Disguised as Literature
Review: Don't be seduced by the plot synopsis. This book is boring, the prose is generic. Each chapter begins with irrelevant historical facts. Science Fiction fans: there are more imaginative authors. Literary types: there are similar books that are well written, like Beloved by Toni Morrison. Skip this trashy book and save yourself some time.

Title: eerie and haunting, unique and unforgettable
Review: _Sarah Canary_ is the tale of a mysterious woman found in the Pacific Northwest in the days of the American frontier. She is dubbed "Sarah Canary" because she has no English, and possibly no language at all: her only means of communication is a peculiar warbling song which does not seem to mean anything at all: and thus, people who encounter her interpret it through their own experience and filters.In SARAH CANARY, Karen Joy Fowler takes the reader on a haunting journey through a long-forgotten time and place, where Chinamen are almost as alien as women who cannot speak, where spiritualists have the power to command huge audiences and change lives. Yet, it is a time and place with repercussions for our time and place, and the book resonates with contemporary readers.The mood and feel of SARAH CANARY stays with you for a very long time after you've put the book down: you may find that you want to go back and revisit it at a later date.

Title: It's About Time!
Review: The Way We Were on DVD is a must for any Streisand fan. The quality is excellent, allowing the viewer to watch the film over and over, without worry about tape damage. The colors and the images are sharp, and the widescreen format let's fans see everything in the frame. But the real prize is hearing the "hmmm-hmmmm...", opening to the title song, that's remastered digitally, so it sounds like Barbra is in the room singing it! The inclusion of the documentary is another plus! Including interviews with Barbra, Sydney Pollack, Arthur Laurents,the Bergmens and Hamlish. The documentary also includes deleted scenes from the movie, so one can finally figure out the real reason Katie and Hubbell break-up! You won't be sorry with this investment!

Title: The Way We Were
Review: I ordered this DVD, as well as two other favorites. After viewing the other movie and having constant interruptions or periods where the DVD froze so that I couldn't even finish watching the movie, I opened The Way We Were to determine if I had received a bad copy. While there were not as many interruptions or periods where the tape froze, I still experienced the same interruptions. At that point, I didn't even open the 3rd movie because I decided to return all three. Then I saw that I had to return within 30 days. Unfortunately I had just had an opportunity to watch the DVDs. Therefore, if I am not able to exchange the DVDs for better quality replacements, I will not re-order DVDs from Amazon.

Title: This Film Hasn't Aged Well
Review: When I first saw this film as a college student I thought it was ok, but not great. Now that I've seen it for the second time, I don't even think it is ok. I guess when I was younger, I either missed or wasn't so bothered by the way Robert Redford's character treats Barbara Streisand's, not to mention the way he treats his daughter. He just leaves Katie right at the point when he finds out she's pregnant with his child. And at the end of the movie it appears that he has never kept in touch with either of them. This bothered me to the point where I just couldn't have any sympathy or any positive views about Redford's character and, without this, the movie doesn't work at all.

Title: disappointed
Review: Is there anyone out there that agrees with me that this movie is big disappointment? I will agree that Redford and Streisand are great actors, I've seen their work before. They did great for the parts they were given to work with, but this movie wasn't up to par with their talents. I am a person very easily moved by human experiences, fictional or real. This movie did nothing for me. I couldn't lose myself in their lives. The plot seemed choppy and I wasn't drawn to any of the personalities portrayed. For all the hype about it for so many years...what a let-down!

Title: What's all the fuss about?
Review: This film was two hours of my life, that I won't be getting back. It was slow moving, not edited that well and the plot was pointless. I have seen other films with minimal plot, but unlike this one, the characters were well developed.
