0	WARNING: INCOMPLETE BOOK!!!!!	The book deserves a 5-star rating, it is a classic that CH Spurgeon couldn't praise highly enough. But Kessinger have only reprinted the first 223 of a 440 page original work. The title of the book's cover is what this book SHOULD contain, namely an exposition of a total of 15 psalms; it only gets you as far as 5 psalms - one third of the advertised amount.You're better off just forking out for the Sprinkle publications reprint to be sure you're getting the whole book.Mine's getting shipped back to Amazon for a refund :(	negative
1	Galaxy Primes	This is one of the best stories that E. E. "Doc" Smith had written. I always enjoy reading this story and look at it with new eyes each time I read it. It is engaging, thoughtful, well-written and fun to read. I will read it again and again.	positive
0	Distorted noise, bad on the ears	One word: Junk'o'RamaTo elaborate on that, this CD is awfully distorted with a lot of treble. There doesn't seem to be much mid-range sound in it, it's all treble and few bass thuds which don't amount to much. Yuck!	negative
0	One Year Warranty in Stone - Leaks later? too bad!	We have a KA stand mixer and I thought the Ice Cream Maker would be a good addition.I read the reviews and saw the problems people were having with it leaking the blue cooling fluid.Because this is not regularly used, too often the leak occurred in the 2nd year of ownership.I wrote KA with my concern as I would be one of those who would not use is very frequently.They wrote back that their research shows that if a manufacturer's defect is going to show up, it will show up in the first 3 months, so by offering the one year warranty, they're already extending the warranty by 9 months.They seemed unfazed by the infrequent usage effect on defects showing up.I've also written to America's Test Kitchen to ask that when they evaluate items that they go beyond their in-house testing to find out what people have to say about a product over time.I will keep looking for something to sorbet and gelato with. It will not be this attachment.	negative
0	Not Free SF Reader	A book that is aimed at young girls, but is a kid's book in general. The young P L lives by herself, and has plenty of money. (Ok, well, she does have a monkey, so points for that).Basically, she goes around having a good time, and causing havoc for any nogoodniks that get in her way.	negative
0	very destructible lid	This sippy cup is great idea and great design. Unfortunately, if your toddler chews on the spout very much at all (and what toddler doesn't have the urge to chew on something nice and soft in her mouth?), you will soon have a hole and eventually the entire top of the spout will be in two pieces. And there are apparently no replacement parts. Bummer. Otherwise, it's fabulous, but with a broken spout, pretty unusable.	negative
1	Outstanding!	War and Peace is one of Prokofiev greatest works. It was written after he returned to Russia and developed a more lyrical style. This opera has some of the loveliest melodies he ever composed.This DVD from the 2000 production in Paris offers an overwhelming experience.Olga Guryakova is an ideal Natasha. Nathan Gunn has a warm and beautiful baritone and gives a wonderful performance as Andrei Bolkonsky.All other members of the enormous cast are impressive too.Francesca Zambello directed a highly effective and moving show.Sound and picture quality are exemplary. Highly recommended.	positive
0	Embarrassing "tribute"	As a devout fan of the fervor and grit of the Pixies, I found this to be a limp-wristed, disgusting insult to the raw genius of the Pixies.Most "interpretations" attempt to be literal and sound as if they were played sitting down. Covers by Weezer, The Get-Up Kids, and Nada Surf were hardly noticeable.Hated it so much I destroyed it instead of reselling it. Why contaminate fellow Pixies fans with this garbage?	negative
0	Dope Production, but come on	First off, yea hes a fantastic producer, and he should have stuck to doing that, because when he opens his mouth nothing but ego comes out in the form of lacking ryhmes... hey at least this album he stopped doing that hurr, thurrr, sturr thing that was on his first cd. But people praise his production like it was a gift of god, but if you mention rj2d, j dilla, madlib, or blockhead they look at you like you whack.The dude belows got it right, though im not sayng I dont own a few mainstream joints, people gotta stop liftin people like this up.last comment is i find it funny that a dude who grew up middle class thinks he has a right to rap about poverty and violence because hes black, if you poor you poor, those people are the only ones who should be rapping that.	negative
1	A Day at the fair with chili boy	I think it is a very good book for anyone to read. I give it a 4 out of 5. I enjoyed the book more than i thought i would. It seemed like it went by pretty fast. I just got into the book and i coulndt put it down. Overall its a pretty good book.	positive
1	Saturday Night Live: Best of Steve Martin	Saturday Night Live: Best of Steve MartinI sincerely recommend this item:-The selected scenes of his shows will make you laugh a lot.-You can verify this artist's talents. Certainly, I am more than eager to see his new picture (The pink panther).	positive
1	A great interesting book	The Great Kapok Tree is about saving the rain forest. First a man starts to cut down a tree in the rain forest with an ax. Whack, whack, whack! The sounds of the ax hitting the tree scared the animals. One by one they came down to where the man was, but the man fell asleep. A boa constrictor came down from the canopy of the tree and hissed in the man's ear, "Senhor, this tree is a tree of miracles. It is my home, where generations of my ancestors have lived. Do not chop it down."I liked this story because it is about the rain forest. The pictures were good, too.	positive
1	A Must Have For Me	I enjoyed using my Cannon CL-41 Color FINE Ink Cartridge. It really comes in handy since I do lots of printing from my home business.	positive
0	Self-defeating	Wills' intention is to "look at the history through the art, the art through the history." As a result, the book depends very much on its illustrations, and these are unfortunately miserably poor. When a work being discussed is reproduced at all, the reproduction is likely to be a dark smudge of ink about the size of a playing card. The result is a very frustrating reading experience that I wouldn't wish on anyone.	negative
1	Does not smell that well.	It kind of does the job and "kills" the dog's odor, but this berry smell is not as nice as i would think it will be. Our Cane Corso is very active and i thought that i could use it as perfume for him and won't have to give him a bath every other day just to get rid of the sweaty odor. But i don't like it. Not sure how the baby powder fragrance would work.	positive
0	Not for all Licorice Lovers	I have been a licorice lover most of my life, but combining a mint flavor with licorice does not work for me. I have a case of this stuff I have to eat...	negative
1	Does the Job	I first picked out the lowest price model but after reading the instructions I decided that the 500X was going to be much more productive for the over 100 bits that I would be sharpening.The device is everything that they say it is and if you are going to do much hand drilling the ability to split the point is great.I am well satisfied.	positive
1	Indie Movie Makers	Every movie maker should own one of these. It covers a lot of situations easily. Very useful.	positive
0	no go with XP	I have a new computer with XP. I wish I had seen a previous review indicating how much trouble this little device could cause. It worked erratically, so that I kept trying it with occasional success, but finally, it sent my poor computer into a kind of seizure and I had to quit. Good thing I kept my old computer so that I could print my photos-using a different smart media reader.	negative
1	Loved it!!!!!!	I need to get an email address for Robert Harling. I have a book I want him to write. I've had several people tell me I should write a book, but I don't write. It would be somewhere between Steel Magnolia's and Now and then. Please give him my email if he is interested. Thanks Karen Stivers	positive
1	Holes	I really enjoyed this book. I am a girl and thought that this book would be for boys. However, one of the main characters was a women. This women character was in charge of all of the boys in a juvinile camp. It would be nice to be able to tell a group of mean boys what to do. The most interesting part of the book was how the characters were so tied together by their family history. It was full of action and kept me trying to untie all of the hidden parts of the story.	positive
0	VP can do better than this	This Soca Gold is probably my least favorite. Normally when I pick this cd up I play it for days straight. I've only played it twice now since making the purchase 3 days ago. I'd try to preview this cd before making the purchase.	negative
0	Where's the Altman we all knew and loved?	Has Altman lost it? He creates this moody, unsatisfied leading man character, who is pontentially interesting. Surrounds him with flaky, self-absorbed, women, some of whom are clearly nuts, others less obviously so. Great setup. I was hooked. Then... nowhere. It's almost like Altman realized he was running out of film stock, and decided to wrap that day. NB how Dr. T learns Spanish, with no prompting, in about ten seconds during the last reel. Very disappointing film from a former master.	negative
1	Excellent tool	This product cooks rice inside a large pot, the way my Thai teacher taught me years ago (using a metal bowl). This is much more attractive, and is very good for serving the rice (or any other grain; it's great for barley, couscous, etc.) for storing it and reheating it. Yes, it does take a fairly large pot (with lid) to provide the steam. I use my stockpot, the one I use for pasta. If you follow the directions you get perfect results every time. The only time I don't use it is when I want Japanese-style rice, with the crisp layer (Koge) on the bottom.	positive
0	Dissapointment	We got this toy for our 18 month old for Christmas. It comes with five cards with pictures on each side of the card. Only two of the cards work. The other cards either don't work or don't ask questions pertaining to the picture on the card. This would be a great toy if it worked right.	negative
1	Absolutely brilliant!!!!!!!	I have been a fan of No Doubt for about 8 years now, and this is just a little something to show how much they have achieved.The singles album is something everyone should own, track to track it is pure genius, from upbeat rocky classics that instantly put you in a good mood to slower beats such as running, that just make you smile and relax you.Then the everything in time album, is just as good it contains rare songs and remixes, and they all hold a unique catchiness.However the dvd's really top off this package, the videos dvd is pure genius the videos are amazing to watch, and the live in the tragic kingdom just gives you an example of how cool they are live.If you are a no doubt fan, you must own this. Enjoy :)	positive
0	I felt bad laughing...	This book was funny, yet somehow cruel. I feel bad for the people who know this person and have made their way into Ms. St. James' book. She steroetypes many kinds of people that we all know exist, but somehow it seems harsh in print. She also seems a bit full of herself. There were parts of the book that really made me laugh, but most of it I just thought, I hope she isn't describing anyone at her current gigs because she's probably going to lose some business. This part auto-biographical doesn't do it for me. She didn't tell me anything I didn't already know about how to win contests, etc.	negative
1	Charming Labels	I bought these labels at a store several years ago and used them up so I was delighted to find they were available at Amazon. The round labels are perfect for the lids on my homemade jam. They stick really well to the lids but they don't stick all that well to many other surfaces. They come in all sorts of shapes for a variety of uses.	positive
0	Boring	Author story of witch dance was slow and very boring. Plot sim to be made up as she went. Same old thing, poor on description.	negative
0	Where are the pages?	I received this cookbook today and can't believe what I found. It goes from page 1 - 43, doing good. Then the next page is 68 ? what? Then page 69, then we are back to page 46 and 47. Now page 72 and page 50 then page 77. Wow, what happened to page 49 which contains the recipe I was interested in? And, on the back of page 77 is page 54. Wow, I am dizzy. Then it is 54 to the end of the book on page 122. Still no page 49, but, two pages 70, 71 and 72. Stupid.	negative
0	Better left to guys with a pony tail	It is obvious to me that simplicity is not a virtue in the Linux world. Basic chores like getting a modem to work or installing and removing an application are hair-pulling experiences, the frustration compounded by fragmentary or non-existent documentation. RedHat did the right thing in pulling this monstruosity from the shelves -- it shouldn't even be sold to end users.	negative
0	Extremely annoying	How can anyone like this? Its not catchy, it doesn't sound good, and the lead singer "sings" so friggin annoying.	negative
0	wrong one	dissapointed was not what i wanted was looking for newr version this was an older one so just wasn't happy	negative
1	Surprisingly good	Smart, honest, good performances - a steal at $.99 - Far better than many that cost much more. An excellent illustration of how lives intertwine, how bizarre and simple life can be. Very intelligent film with heart, depth and humor.	positive
1	This is my second time purchasing this item	I had an earlier model of this hot water dispenser for eleven years. That one had a metal container which rusted out. This newer version has a molded plastic type of water container which is definitely an improvement. I love the addition of the temperature control which the old one did not have.	positive
1	Wow! Loved it.	When my friend recommended this book to me, I was suspicious, because he couldn't explain what he loved so much about it, but I can!! It's inspiring! It made me think about my life and what I want to get from it. Actually, it made me think of lots of things, too many to mention here. And it just gets better as you read. Great story. I can't wait to read the sequel and find out what happens next!	positive
0	Watch the first 30 minutes, then fast forward	It must be nice to be able to take off half a year from your job at Patagonia and have a film crew document your eco-slacker vacation to Chile; where your boss is hanging around in a shack drinking tea for several months waiting for you and the crew to show up so you can get lost climbing a hill.The photography is beautiful and it was enjoyable enough, although not believable, for the first 30 minutes or so. then it became an infomercial about Patagonia clothing and an eco-rant against corporate culture that made their never-ending vacation possible.	negative
0	DANGEROUS	My 14# puppy had the ball all of 3 minutes when some of the outside peeled off. I managed to grab a piece of rubber the size of a quarter just before Nick swallowed it. He either would've crapped a UFO or I'd have been spending the night in the delightfully expensive and chaotic animal hospital. I looked at the outside of the ball and grabbed the side of the green plastic-- it peeled off easy. I know I'm a wrong girl, but if this is "Tuff" enough for powerful chewers, then i should probably be trying out for MMA.I'll be adding a few pics of what peeled off.	negative
0	Intex pillow rest twin mattress is a flop	We bought these beds in September for our grandchildren to sleep on when they visit. They are 6 and 7 and weigh under 50 pounds. These beds can not make it through one single night inflated. We either have to get up during the night and re-inflate them or the kids will wake us up because the mattresses have lost so much air they are uncomfortable.We've had to repair both beds because they develop pin holes from being folded when we put them away and you can hear air escaping around the area where the beds inflate themselves.I'm very disappointed in this product and will not buy another air mattress from this company since it's clear their quality has gone down hill drastically since we bought their double bed seven years ago.My opinion is "save your money and find another solution for guests to sleep on", that's what we're doing now.	negative
1	Calphalon Contemporary Nonstick 2-1/2-Quart Shallow Saucepan with Lid	LOVE this saucepan. It was recommended in Cooks Illustrated and I also highly recommend it. Nothing sticks to it! The lid is glass, so you can observe whatever you're cooking. The handle is sturdy. I like the curved lip of the saucean itself for pouring sauces out with no problems or runs down the outside of the pot. It's the perfect size pot for everyday use.	positive
1	Research Project on Slavery	If you did a research project on slavery, I think you found the right book. You will learn about how slaves were treated and what they became.	positive
1	Great book!	I loved this book and read it one sitting, unable to put it down. Rachel's return to her old high school after a hard adolescence and then dealing with old family ties that caused her much pain took courage. I liked the growing relationship between Rachel and Jack, with both a little appalled as they went along, not an easy romance for either. Great story, great writer! I'll definitely look for more of Linda's books.	positive
1	Jochum reaches the sky once more	Jochum is the best "spiritual" conductor i know. This Bach's Mass is no exception: the fluid and ethereal sonority of the music as well as the strenght of the choir makes this Mass version one of the best.	positive
1	Shrinking Violet - More than just a wonderful story	A rare and delightful book about social anxiety disorder in childhood. Best aptly describes Violet's symptoms in an accurate and endearing way and communicates a basic truth of dealing with social anxiety - it gets better when you do the things you are afraid of. Beautifully illustrated and writen in an endearing style, children love the book and learn as they are giggling. As a psychologist, I've used this book in therapy with several children. It is a wonderful vehicle for helping them to understand and overcome their social and performance anxieties.	positive
0	It had potential BUT fell short	Obsidian Fate could have been a very good Buffy book. The Aztec culture and mythology made an interesting setting for the story. However, this book falls short of being on par with the books written by Christopher Golden, and Nancy Holder. First there's the annoying mistake of Angelus being referred to as Angeles. Second Oz's band is named Dingoes Ate My Baby, not Dingoes Ate Your Baby. Third, it took forever for the story to get interesting. I read over half of the book before the story finally picked up the pace. Skip this one and buy the Golden, Holder books.	negative
1	The Nativity Story	Very beautiful movie, for those with "eyes to see" let us all be humbled by the King, and I'm glad the Hollywood film makers for finally putting out a positive Christian movie.	positive
0	This was not what I thought	I was looking for more instruction but it fell short and probably is better suited for seniors and people with limited mobility.	negative
0	Terrible	The first chapter or two were semi-entertaining, but it got very tiresome, very quick. I couldn't finish the book, I could not get into it. It was a waste of money and a waste of time. This is the first book that I have read and just had to put it down.	negative
0	Bad Choice	My previous grater was a plastic Zyliss. It lasted for many years and worked well, but I bought the Cuisipro grater thinking that an all metal unit would outlast and outperform the plastic Zyliss. Wrong! The Cuisipro leaves chunks of ungrated cheese, the handles are loose and flop about, and the drum bent quickly under normal use. The Cuispro grater is poor quality and poor design. I went back and replaced it with the vastly cheaper but better Zyliss. Lesson learned.	negative
1	I assume this is the new album vuela mas alto	This album is great a new more euro style of music. But with the Onda vaselina style of music its good I recomend it. Muy buen disco un nuevo estilo pero con el sabor de la onda vaselina	positive
0	major dissapointment	this is the worst tool addition i have ever owned. you adjust the beam and make a cut then it moves on you again. finally when you think you have it down it is not accurate worst dewalt tool i have ever owned. will try the new led light instead if reviews are better than this otherwise ill stick to the old fashion way.	negative
1	the Best	My favorite Dexter recording. This is about the Ballad. This is about the apporach and the interpretation. Essential recording	positive
1	Outstanding planner!!	The pressure's on when you only have a few months to get all the planning done. Naylor's book nails it! Gave me lots of pointers and things I never thought of before. Set it all out for me. Super job! It's going to be a regular engagement gift that I'll give all my friends....	positive
0	Hildegard was not so boring	The first disc offers a recording of the Ordo Virtutum. The music itself is well performed but the visual aspect does not add anything, in fact it makes the music less enjoyable. The performance is stiff (what to expect?) and does not communicate the sense of mystic experience that the original context must have had. In the first disc you'll also find an interview to Matthew and Mary Fox. What they say is quite informative, but it could have been done in 20 less minutes. They focus on theological and political aspects and are not competent in music, nor pretend to be (at some point the Ordo is referred to as an Opera!). The second CD contains a TV movie on the life of Hildegard. Badly done, very boring, not informative at all. I definitely do not recommend this DVD.	negative
1	Epic	Historically tennis movies have been terrible. The Break is fantastic. If your a serious tennis player then this has to be your all-time favoirte movie.	positive
1	Funny, quirky movie	This movie is definitely eccentric, but all the funnier for it. The characters are quite unlikely but make us feel all the more normal by being more like us than we expect. Many humorous moments and great quotes.	positive
0	REALLY?	Ordered the 4 lock set, locked our bags and upon arrival unlocked them.. Went to lock one of the locks and it will not lock other 3 just fine. First time used. Not happy with Amazon's replacement policy!	negative
0	worst shoes EVER, DON'T BUY IT	I usually don't review products but I had to tor this one. ITS THE WORST SHOES EVER. it ripped after 2 weeks. my knee started hurting like nothing else. PLEASE DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY. Its low low quality product.	negative
0	Going Broke	The psc 1410 is simple and easy to use, but ...it has the smallest capacity ( 5 ml ) print cartridges I've ever seen. Be prepared to buy new ink cartridges every week!	negative
1	Life Itself As Drama	Readers should not expect another 'How To' book here. This slim philosophical essay makes the claim that we are hard-wired, as it were, to interpret our lives as dramatic narratives. And thus that 'drama' on stage or screen should reflect and enact the struggle to interpret, to make sense, to synthesise. In the process, Mamet eschews what is sometimes presented to us as 'drama', in his grumpy and dogmatic way. If the dogmatism is annoying (is this just a rant?) and the first response is to be affronted, some of us might go on to ask, 'If Mamet is wrong, what do I think? What is right?'	positive
0	Only got one star because there were none lower	This c.d was the worst purcase iv ever made. I saw "everything zen" and "comedown" so i bought it because i liked bush. I got home and got totally pissed when i heard it and the crappy remixs. Terrible c.d.	negative
0	No Background, Only Abridged Legends	I received this book as a gift for my birthday recently. The book has 222 stories which the author defines as "urban legends." The book has abbreviated versions of the legends, cutting out several details that made the originals so believable in the first place. The book has no explanation of how the legend got started, what facts may have been involved, or how the legend was proven false. The book is also a frustrating read as the editor was asleep during the book's publication. Many stories seem to have serious spelling mistakes. It seems as if the book was edited only with a computer's "spell check" command.	negative
1	Vipers are the most powerful	I think this booster set is the most powerful of all of the wave one boosters. I personally have enough to field a 400pt army of just vipers and the viper warlord. If you put all of your markers on these guys they are unstoppable. I have seen them desimate an army in one round, especially if they get their Frenzy a few times. These guys are only powerful if you field a bunch of them, one set is not enough. The snipers are great if you get them up high, they can take out heros in a few turns, easily, as they get a double strength attack.Anyone who doesn't like this pack, just plain doesn't know how to use them. Either of these squads fielded in large numbers, will beat anything out there.	positive
1	Nail Punch	I did a big hardwood job and this punch came in handy.It set's nail heads very well.I would buy it again	positive
0	Bad design!	I bought 4 of this baskets. My first try was a failure. I only had some veggies in it and turning it around opened the locking mechanism and all veggies ended up on the ground. Second try with more care same result. This is a fundamental design error.	negative
0	come on...	Am I the only one who actually listened to this album? Look, I wanted to love this album as much as the next guy. I, like most of you gutterpunks out there, thought rancid could do no wrong. But I knew something was up when I saw them on MTV. This is their worst album to date. There are a few good songs and some mediocre, but way below the standards they set on "And out come the wolves" and "Lets Go". I never thought it would happen, but rancid let me down.	negative
1	Very Funny!	If you are a fan of MST3000 you need to buy this video. very funny outtakes and behind the scenes kinda stuff. You'll be happy you did!	positive
0	Not worthy of the LeapFrog Name	This BINGO game is truly awful. There are four different versions of the game - Colors/Shapes; Numbers; Animals; Addition/Subtraction. Each version has its own spinner that you drop in the base unit. The cardboard to which the spinners are attached was warped from the get go making it impossible to get true spins. And the spinner can't stop on all spots because of the warped cardboard. The animal card/spinner was broken out of the box. All in all, this is a cheap toy, unworthy of the LeapFrog name. Go for a traditional bingo game.	negative
1	like a bird you can't touch....	Mojave 3's latest album is built on a grander, more epic scale than any of their previous records. At first listen, "Spoon & Rafter" may not be as immediately accessible as their earlier records, which have a familiar and comfortable feeling even when you're hearing them for the first time. This album is more complex and subtle. At first I was drawn primarily to the 3 tracks or so that have the "vintage" Mojave sound. Then, gradually, the scope and vision of the album as a whole emerges. Fans of Neil & Rachel's earlier band Slowdive will be glad to hear hints of the previous bands ambience on this new record, as well as a gentle, pale-sunlight-drenched-1970s-California sort of vibe. I just hope Mojave 3 keep them coming because each new album is a revelation.	positive
1	Burnout Revenge	drive around the world and take them down as you go to achieve highest ranking! Great LIVE game!	positive
0	Bad Book. Period.	I'll keep this short. This book is not worth buying. At all. Half the book is descriptions of different fish and aquarium fauna. Most of the rest is information on equipment. And tacked on at the end, almost as an afterthought, are TEN pages of information on setting up and maintaining a saltwater aquarium. I'm not saying that this book doesn't have a plethora of information. But for someone like me, someone setting up their first saltwater aquarium and looking for beginner information, this book is seriously lacking.	negative
1	Passing Gas: And Others Towns on the American Highway	This was really interesting and not hard to read. Enjoyed the information and laughs.	positive
0	The shadows between	The poltergiest: The Legacy book The Shadows Between left me in the dark. Even through the story was interesting to read I had to real follow the plot carefully. The story start with the appearance of a man, David Carson arriving at The Legacy House. Who he is and where he came from is discovered as the story moves on in the book. I am a fan of the series and the books except for this one. It was slow going and for one to understand what is happenning in the story you have to read very carefully or read it a second time. I did enjoy reading the other books in the series but "The Shadows Between" left me confused about what was going on. Sorry.	negative
0	Inferior Materials	Bought the slicer and extra wires, but never got to use the extra wires because the plastic thumb wheel broke after about a year.	negative
0	This thing just stinks.	This mat is really terrible. It just stinks, go for a red octane pad because this thing isn't worth 5 bucks!	negative
1	Great value	This stemware rack worked perfectly for what we needed. We stained it to match a wine bottle holder and it looks great. Worth the price.	positive
0	The Tittle is a gimmick to sell books.	I got this a year ago and it was way over my head. I read it again now, and I see why.Chapter 2Q: What's the distinction between instance variables and methods and their counterparts, class variables and methods?A: Almost everything you do in a Java program will involve instances (also called objects) rather than classes. However, some behavior and attributes make more sense if stored in the class itself rather than in the object. For example, to create a new instance of a class, you need a method that is defined and available for the class itself....It just gets too convoluted for chapter 2! The explanations are sparse! Even though the title sounds like a beginners book, its Not for beginners at all. It should be called Java tongue twisters! ... At least the book looks pretty! I will not mention the "Idiot's" guide to Java 1.2!	negative
1	Haunting, beautiful, mysterious.....	I must say that in the begining of this book I was bored......I actually started to read it when it first came out and Oprah was so "gung ho" about it, (this was way before the movie version). Anyway the first time I tried I was like WHAT!, and I never made it past the first few chapters. I could not understand what the heck was going on. My advice...keep reading! I was "reinspired" to read again after seeing the movie. Once you really get into this book you will not put it down! Wonderfully written by a very talented lady. It is delicious...Please read this book.	positive
1	Excellent - no matter what your fitness level!	This is an excellent tape. It is quick and effecient and getsresults. I used to work out with weights at the gym but had not for afew years. I am 41 and just had a baby and this tape is perfect for getting back into the routine. No matter what your fitness level she can recommend weights to fit your needs and it is over before you know it! It is as good a workout as I got with my personal trainer at the gym for a lot less money!	positive
1	18 month old loves it	Holds up really well... She loves them and its light so its easy for her to lift and play with.	positive
0	not too plesed with condition of product	Although the description on the book read "water stains troughout" or something along those lines, I absolutely did not expect to receive a book where most of the pages were stuck together, with at lease 5 pages being ruined or ripped while trying to get them unstuck.

0	Unreadable.	Did I read the same book as the others? Possibly I got a copy of something else with this title on it. Not badly written in a literary sense, but about as interesting as reading a dental manual. I had to force myself to read it and now I'm mad because I'll never get that part of my life back. Never read a Dobyns before - hope this was a fluke, but it will be awhile before I try another, as the pain is too fresh. There are too many good books out there to waste time on bad books.	negative

0	Worked great then went weak	We bought this as a replacement for a Farberware percolator that broke after being dropped and were happy with it for a month or two, then it started producing coffee that was weak and tepid.

Reading the reviews, it seems that others have had this problem. Stay away from this turkey.	negative
1	I love this pack!!	I ordered this pack after my friend's baby shower, she received this as a gift and I was amazed at how nice it was. It fit both her and her husband very well, so I ordered one to carry our 7 month old daughter in. WE love it. It is easily adjustable and fits my husband and myself great. Our daughter squeals in delight whenever she is in it, it has made our walks more enjoyable, I have free hands to hold our dogs' leashes and she likes being up to see everything. I only have one complaint and that is the pocket on the belt is almost impossible to access when wearing the pack, but it is so minute of a complaint I still give it 5 stars. Oh yeah the price is amazing for the pack you get, I cannot wait to go on a day hike. I had been pricing other packs and they were close to $200, this was$90 w/ free shipping, a huge price break, plus I got it in about 3 days, thanks Amazon.	positive

1	Still holding up	I owned this album when I was in my teens and like much I remember from the era it reflects the musical style of the time, yet stood out among many banal vocals. Jimmy Webb was highly successful his hits were ubiquitous on the radio, but years later I would hear snatches from the album and they still filled me with the same pleasing responses. Now, buying this CD 35 years on I find the unique quality of the recording still holds up. MacArthur Park has the surreal quality of lyrics that began to appear in the 1960's as they project a dreamlike quilty of something half remembered. Harris puts a mournful Irish tone and the right level of emotion into tunes that would otherwise seem trite. And Paperchase, surreal as MacArthur Park, has that innocence still true of the music from the era. An excellent choice for any pop collection.	positive
1	Heart Warming Inspiring Story	This is a truly beautiful book about the power of life to heal the sick and the down hearted. Using the analogy of a garden coming to life, and the plants blooming in the springtime, Burnett tells the story of children and people becoming well, and discovering the "Magic" that is life, or God.Mary is a sour little girl from India who is orphaned after a sickness hits her Indian town, and she is sent to live with her uncle, Archibold Craven, in Yorkshire, England. The manor is full of mysteries, as Mary soon discovers. Along with her new friend Dickon, a boy animal charmer from across the moor, she begins to discover the secrets of the manor and of the gardens that surround it.This is a beautiful book, just brimming over with life. I would recommend this to young readers as well as adult. It is very sweet, and has a warm-hearted tone.	positive

WARNING: INCOMPLETE BOOK!!!!!

The book deserves a 5-star rating, it is a classic that CH Spurgeon couldn't praise highly enough. But Kessinger have only reprinted the first 223 of a 440 page original work. The title of the book's cover is what this book SHOULD contain, namely an exposition of a total of 15 psalms; it only gets you as far as 5 psalms - one third of the advertised amount.You're better off just forking out for the Sprinkle publications reprint to be sure you're getting the whole book.Mine's getting shipped back to Amazon for a refund :(

One Year Warranty in Stone - Leaks later? too bad!

We have a KA stand mixer and I thought the Ice Cream Maker would be a good addition.I read the reviews and saw the problems people were having with it leaking the blue cooling fluid.Because this is not regularly used, too often the leak occurred in the 2nd year of ownership.I wrote KA with my concern as I would be one of those who would not use is very frequently.They wrote back that their research shows that if a manufacturer's defect is going to show up, it will show up in the first 3 months, so by offering the one year warranty, they're already extending the warranty by 9 months.They seemed unfazed by the infrequent usage effect on defects showing up.I've also written to America's Test Kitchen to ask that when they evaluate items that they go beyond their in-house testing to find out what people have to say about a product over time.I will keep looking for something to sorbet and gelato with. It will not be this attachment.

very destructible lid

This sippy cup is great idea and great design. Unfortunately, if your toddler chews on the spout very much at all (and what toddler doesn't have the urge to chew on something nice and soft in her mouth?), you will soon have a hole and eventually the entire top of the spout will be in two pieces. And there are apparently no replacement parts. Bummer. Otherwise, it's fabulous, but with a broken spout, pretty unusable.

Outstanding!

War and Peace is one of Prokofiev greatest works. It was written after he returned to Russia and developed a more lyrical style. This opera has some of the loveliest melodies he ever composed.This DVD from the 2000 production in Paris offers an overwhelming experience.Olga Guryakova is an ideal Natasha. Nathan Gunn has a warm and beautiful baritone and gives a wonderful performance as Andrei Bolkonsky.All other members of the enormous cast are impressive too.Francesca Zambello directed a highly effective and moving show.Sound and picture quality are exemplary. Highly recommended.

Embarrassing "tribute"

As a devout fan of the fervor and grit of the Pixies, I found this to be a limp-wristed, disgusting insult to the raw genius of the Pixies.Most "interpretations" attempt to be literal and sound as if they were played sitting down. Covers by Weezer, The Get-Up Kids, and Nada Surf were hardly noticeable.Hated it so much I destroyed it instead of reselling it. Why contaminate fellow Pixies fans with this garbage?

Dope Production, but come on

First off, yea hes a fantastic producer, and he should have stuck to doing that, because when he opens his mouth nothing but ego comes out in the form of lacking ryhmes... hey at least this album he stopped doing that hurr, thurrr, sturr thing that was on his first cd. But people praise his production like it was a gift of god, but if you mention rj2d, j dilla, madlib, or blockhead they look at you like you whack.The dude belows got it right, though im not sayng I dont own a few mainstream joints, people gotta stop liftin people like this up.last comment is i find it funny that a dude who grew up middle class thinks he has a right to rap about poverty and violence because hes black, if you poor you poor, those people are the only ones who should be rapping that.

A great interesting book

The Great Kapok Tree is about saving the rain forest. First a man starts to cut down a tree in the rain forest with an ax. Whack, whack, whack! The sounds of the ax hitting the tree scared the animals. One by one they came down to where the man was, but the man fell asleep. A boa constrictor came down from the canopy of the tree and hissed in the man's ear, "Senhor, this tree is a tree of miracles. It is my home, where generations of my ancestors have lived. Do not chop it down."I liked this story because it is about the rain forest. The pictures were good, too.

Self-defeating

Wills' intention is to "look at the history through the art, the art through the history." As a result, the book depends very much on its illustrations, and these are unfortunately miserably poor. When a work being discussed is reproduced at all, the reproduction is likely to be a dark smudge of ink about the size of a playing card. The result is a very frustrating reading experience that I wouldn't wish on anyone.

It kind of does the job and "kills" the dog's odor, but this berry smell is not as nice as i would think it will be.

Holes

I really enjoyed this book. I am a girl and thought that this book would be for boys. However, one of the main characters was a women. This women character was in charge of all of the boys in a juvinile camp. It would be nice to be able to tell a group of mean boys what to do. The most interesting part of the book was how the characters were so tied together by their family history. It was full of action and kept me trying to untie all of the hidden parts of the story.

Where's the Altman we all knew and loved?

Has Altman lost it? He creates this moody, unsatisfied leading man character, who is pontentially interesting. Surrounds him with flaky, self-absorbed, women, some of whom are clearly nuts, others less obviously so. Great setup. I was hooked. Then... nowhere. It's almost like Altman realized he was running out of film stock, and decided to wrap that day. NB how Dr. T learns Spanish, with no prompting, in about ten seconds during the last reel. Very disappointing film from a former master.

Excellent tool

This product cooks rice inside a large pot, the way my Thai teacher taught me years ago (using a metal bowl). This is much more attractive, and is very good for serving the rice (or any other grain; it's great for barley, couscous, etc.) for storing it and reheating it. Yes, it does take a fairly large pot (with lid) to provide the steam. I use my stockpot, the one I use for pasta. If you follow the directions you get perfect results every time. The only time I don't use it is when I want Japanese-style rice, with the crisp layer (Koge) on the bottom.

Absolutely brilliant!!!!!!!

I have been a fan of No Doubt for about 8 years now, and this is just a little something to show how much they have achieved.The singles album is something everyone should own, track to track it is pure genius, from upbeat rocky classics that instantly put you in a good mood to slower beats such as running, that just make you smile and relax you.Then the everything in time album, is just as good it contains rare songs and remixes, and they all hold a unique catchiness.However the dvd's really top off this package, the videos dvd is pure genius the videos are amazing to watch, and the live in the tragic kingdom just gives you an example of how cool they are live.If you are a no doubt fan, you must own this. Enjoy :)

I felt bad laughing...

This book was funny, yet somehow cruel. I feel bad for the people who know this person and have made their way into Ms. St. James' book. She steroetypes many kinds of people that we all know exist, but somehow it seems harsh in print. She also seems a bit full of herself. There were parts of the book that really made me laugh, but most of it I just thought, I hope she isn't describing anyone at her current gigs because she's probably going to lose some business. This part auto-biographical doesn't do it for me. She didn't tell me anything I didn't already know about how to win contests, etc.

Watch the first 30 minutes, then fast forward

It must be nice to be able to take off half a year from your job at Patagonia and have a film crew document your eco-slacker vacation to Chile; where your boss is hanging around in a shack drinking tea for several months waiting for you and the crew to show up so you can get lost climbing a hill.The photography is beautiful and it was enjoyable enough, although not believable, for the first 30 minutes or so. then it became an infomercial about Patagonia clothing and an eco-rant against corporate culture that made their never-ending vacation possible.

DANGEROUS

My 14# puppy had the ball all of 3 minutes when some of the outside peeled off. I managed to grab a piece of rubber the size of a quarter just before Nick swallowed it. He either would've crapped a UFO or I'd have been spending the night in the delightfully expensive and chaotic animal hospital. I looked at the outside of the ball and grabbed the side of the green plastic-- it peeled off easy. I know I'm a wrong girl, but if this is "Tuff" enough for powerful chewers, then i should probably be trying out for MMA.I'll be adding a few pics of what peeled off.

Intex pillow rest twin mattress is a flop

We bought these beds in September for our grandchildren to sleep on when they visit. They are 6 and 7 and weigh under 50 pounds. These beds can not make it through one single night inflated. We either have to get up during the night and re-inflate them or the kids will wake us up because the mattresses have lost so much air they are uncomfortable.We've had to repair both beds because they develop pin holes from being folded when we put them away and you can hear air escaping around the area where the beds inflate themselves.I'm very disappointed in this product and will not buy another air mattress from this company since it's clear their quality has gone down hill drastically since we bought their double bed seven years ago.My opinion is "save your money and find another solution for guests to sleep on", that's what we're doing now.

Shrinking Violet - More than just a wonderful story

A rare and delightful book about social anxiety disorder in childhood. Best aptly describes Violet's symptoms in an accurate and endearing way and communicates a basic truth of dealing with social anxiety - it gets better when you do the things you are afraid of. Beautifully illustrated and writen in an endearing style, children love the book and learn as they are giggling. As a psychologist, I've used this book in therapy with several children. It is a wonderful vehicle for helping them to understand and overcome their social and performance anxieties.

It had potential BUT fell short

Obsidian Fate could have been a very good Buffy book. The Aztec culture and mythology made an interesting setting for the story. However, this book falls short of being on par with the books written by Christopher Golden, and Nancy Holder. First there's the annoying mistake of Angelus being referred to as Angeles. Second Oz's band is named Dingoes Ate My Baby, not Dingoes Ate Your Baby. Third, it took forever for the story to get interesting. I read over half of the book before the story finally picked up the pace. Skip this one and buy the Golden, Holder books.

Bad Choice

My previous grater was a plastic Zyliss. It lasted for many years and worked well, but I bought the Cuisipro grater thinking that an all metal unit would outlast and outperform the plastic Zyliss. Wrong! The Cuisipro leaves chunks of ungrated cheese, the handles are loose and flop about, and the drum bent quickly under normal use. The Cuispro grater is poor quality and poor design. I went back and replaced it with the vastly cheaper but better Zyliss. Lesson learned.

Hildegard was not so boring

The first disc offers a recording of the Ordo Virtutum. The music itself is well performed but the visual aspect does not add anything, in fact it makes the music less enjoyable. The performance is stiff (what to expect?) and does not communicate the sense of mystic experience that the original context must have had. In the first disc you'll also find an interview to Matthew and Mary Fox. What they say is quite informative, but it could have been done in 20 less minutes. They focus on theological and political aspects and are not competent in music, nor pretend to be (at some point the Ordo is referred to as an Opera!). The second CD contains a TV movie on the life of Hildegard. Badly done, very boring, not informative at all. I definitely do not recommend this DVD.

Life Itself As Drama

Readers should not expect another 'How To' book here. This slim philosophical essay makes the claim that we are hard-wired, as it were, to interpret our lives as dramatic narratives. And thus that 'drama' on stage or screen should reflect and enact the struggle to interpret, to make sense, to synthesise. In the process, Mamet eschews what is sometimes presented to us as 'drama', in his grumpy and dogmatic way. If the dogmatism is annoying (is this just a rant?) and the first response is to be affronted, some of us might go on to ask, 'If Mamet is wrong, what do I think? What is right?'

The book has abbreviated versions of the legends, cutting out several details that made the originals so believable in the first place. The book has no explanation of how the legend got started, what facts may have been involved, or how the legend was proven false. The book is also a frustrating read as the editor was asleep during the book's publication. Many stories seem to have serious spelling mistakes. It seems as if the book was edited only with a computer's "spell check" command.

Vipers are the most powerful

I think this booster set is the most powerful of all of the wave one boosters. I personally have enough to field a 400pt army of just vipers and the viper warlord. If you put all of your markers on these guys they are unstoppable. I have seen them desimate an army in one round, especially if they get their Frenzy a few times. These guys are only powerful if you field a bunch of them, one set is not enough. The snipers are great if you get them up high, they can take out heros in a few turns, easily, as they get a double strength attack.Anyone who doesn't like this pack, just plain doesn't know how to use them. Either of these squads fielded in large numbers, will beat anything out there.

Bad design!

I bought 4 of this baskets. My first try was a failure. I only had some veggies in it and turning it around opened the locking mechanism and all veggies ended up on the ground. Second try with more care same result. This is a fundamental design error.

come on...

Am I the only one who actually listened to this album? Look, I wanted to love this album as much as the next guy. I, like most of you gutterpunks out there, thought rancid could do no wrong. But I knew something was up when I saw them on MTV. This is their worst album to date. There are a few good songs and some mediocre, but way below the standards they set on "And out come the wolves" and "Lets Go". I never thought it would happen, but rancid let me down.

Not worthy of the LeapFrog Name

This BINGO game is truly awful. There are four different versions of the game - Colors/Shapes; Numbers; Animals; Addition/Subtraction. Each version has its own spinner that you drop in the base unit. The cardboard to which the spinners are attached was warped from the get go making it impossible to get true spins. And the spinner can't stop on all spots because of the warped cardboard. The animal card/spinner was broken out of the box. All in all, this is a cheap toy, unworthy of the LeapFrog name. Go for a traditional bingo game.

like a bird you can't touch....

Mojave 3's latest album is built on a grander, more epic scale than any of their previous records. At first listen, "Spoon & Rafter" may not be as immediately accessible as their earlier records, which have a familiar and comfortable feeling even when you're hearing them for the first time. This album is more complex and subtle. At first I was drawn primarily to the 3 tracks or so that have the "vintage" Mojave sound. Then, gradually, the scope and vision of the album as a whole emerges. Fans of Neil & Rachel's earlier band Slowdive will be glad to hear hints of the previous bands ambience on this new record, as well as a gentle, pale-sunlight-drenched-1970s-California sort of vibe. I just hope Mojave 3 keep them coming because each new album is a revelation.

Bad Book. Period.

I'll keep this short. This book is not worth buying. At all. Half the book is descriptions of different fish and aquarium fauna. Most of the rest is information on equipment. And tacked on at the end, almost as an afterthought, are TEN pages of information on setting up and maintaining a saltwater aquarium. I'm not saying that this book doesn't have a plethora of information. But for someone like me, someone setting up their first saltwater aquarium and looking for beginner information, this book is seriously lacking.

The shadows between

The poltergiest: The Legacy book The Shadows Between left me in the dark. Even through the story was interesting to read I had to real follow the plot carefully. The story start with the appearance of a man, David Carson arriving at The Legacy House. Who he is and where he came from is discovered as the story moves on in the book. I am a fan of the series and the books except for this one. It was slow going and for one to understand what is happenning in the story you have to read very carefully or read it a second time. I did enjoy reading the other books in the series but "The Shadows Between" left me confused about what was going on. Sorry.

The Tittle is a gimmick to sell books.

I got this a year ago and it was way over my head. I read it again now, and I see why.Chapter 2Q: What's the distinction between instance variables and methods and their counterparts, class variables and methods?A: Almost everything you do in a Java program will involve instances (also called objects) rather than classes. However, some behavior and attributes make more sense if stored in the class itself rather than in the object. For example, to create a new instance of a class, you need a method that is defined and available for the class itself....It just gets too convoluted for chapter 2! The explanations are sparse! Even though the title sounds like a beginners book, its Not for beginners at all. It should be called Java tongue twisters! ... At least the book looks pretty! I will not mention the "Idiot's" guide to Java 1.2!

Haunting, beautiful, mysterious.....

I must say that in the begining of this book I was bored......I actually started to read it when it first came out and Oprah was so "gung ho" about it, (this was way before the movie version). Anyway the first time I tried I was like WHAT!, and I never made it past the first few chapters. I could not understand what the heck was going on. My advice...keep reading! I was "reinspired" to read again after seeing the movie. Once you really get into this book you will not put it down! Wonderfully written by a very talented lady. It is delicious...Please read this book.

Excellent - no matter what your fitness level!

This is an excellent tape. It is quick and effecient and getsresults. I used to work out with weights at the gym but had not for afew years. I am 41 and just had a baby and this tape is perfect for getting back into the routine. No matter what your fitness level she can recommend weights to fit your needs and it is over before you know it! It is as good a workout as I got with my personal trainer at the gym for a lot less money!

not too plesed with condition of product

Although the description on the book read "water stains troughout" or something along those lines, I absolutely did not expect to receive a book where most of the pages were stuck together, with at lease 5 pages being ruined or ripped while trying to get them unstuck. I suppose the "Buyer Beware" principle is in play on this deal!

Unreadable.

Did I read the same book as the others? Possibly I got a copy of something else with this title on it. Not badly written in a literary sense, but about as interesting as reading a dental manual. I had to force myself to read it and now I'm mad because I'll never get that part of my life back. Never read a Dobyns before - hope this was a fluke, but it will be awhile before I try another, as the pain is too fresh. There are too many good books out there to waste time on bad books.

Poor Connection with Xbox 360 controller

The headset works perfectly fine while it is connected properly; it just becomes disconnected incredibly easily. The speaker quality is surprisingly lower than expected since its such a cumbersome ear piece, but again, it should have a better fastener for the controller itself. I do not recomend this headset

This is a great food processor of the perfect size for dishes I cook for my family of three. But Amazon offers the choice of Items "frequently bought together" this : Cuisinart 3-Cup Food Processor Duet Attachment, White by Cuisinart $34.00. This accessory is for a Cuisinart BLENDER, not for this little food processor. Sign me disappointed.

Worked great then went weak

We bought this as a replacement for a Farberware percolator that broke after being dropped and were happy with it for a month or two, then it started producing coffee that was weak and tepid. After over a month of trying to make it work (it produces decent pots frequently enough to keep us hoping), we are throwing in the towel and trying another brand. Reading the reviews, it seems that others have had this problem. Stay away from this turkey.

I love this pack!!

I ordered this pack after my friend's baby shower, she received this as a gift and I was amazed at how nice it was. It fit both her and her husband very well, so I ordered one to carry our 7 month old daughter in. WE love it. It is easily adjustable and fits my husband and myself great. Our daughter squeals in delight whenever she is in it, it has made our walks more enjoyable, I have free hands to hold our dogs' leashes and she likes being up to see everything. I only have one complaint and that is the pocket on the belt is almost impossible to access when wearing the pack, but it is so minute of a complaint I still give it 5 stars. Oh yeah the price is amazing for the pack you get, I cannot wait to go on a day hike. I had been pricing other packs and they were close to $200, this was$90 w/ free shipping, a huge price break, plus I got it in about 3 days, thanks Amazon.

A Table Saw Blade worth the price

I was skpetical about shelling out almost $100 for a table saw blade but had heard about the quality of Forrest blades. I must say, I have not been disappointed. Not only has the blade held a sharp edge, but most cuts come out so smooth that they do not require sanding. I had been using Freud blades but no longer. I find the Forrest blade far superior and well worth the price.

Not a long lasting product

I bought this set 5 years ago and had to toss the pots and pans out today. The dark coating on the bottoms of the pans and pots is starting to come off and appears scratched. I never used metal spatulas or spoons when cooking. Also the finish on the outside of the pans and pots faded within one year. Very poor quality for the money.

Still holding up

I owned this album when I was in my teens and like much I remember from the era it reflects the musical style of the time, yet stood out among many banal vocals. Jimmy Webb was highly successful his hits were ubiquitous on the radio, but years later I would hear snatches from the album and they still filled me with the same pleasing responses. Now, buying this CD 35 years on I find the unique quality of the recording still holds up. MacArthur Park has the surreal quality of lyrics that began to appear in the 1960's as they project a dreamlike quilty of something half remembered. Harris puts a mournful Irish tone and the right level of emotion into tunes that would otherwise seem trite. And Paperchase, surreal as MacArthur Park, has that innocence still true of the music from the era. An excellent choice for any pop collection.

Heart Warming Inspiring Story

This is a truly beautiful book about the power of life to heal the sick and the down hearted. Using the analogy of a garden coming to life, and the plants blooming in the springtime, Burnett tells the story of children and people becoming well, and discovering the "Magic" that is life, or God.Mary is a sour little girl from India who is orphaned after a sickness hits her Indian town, and she is sent to live with her uncle, Archibold Craven, in Yorkshire, England. The manor is full of mysteries, as Mary soon discovers. Along with her new friend Dickon, a boy animal charmer from across the moor, she begins to discover the secrets of the manor and of the gardens that surround it.This is a beautiful book, just brimming over with life. I would recommend this to young readers as well as adult. It is very sweet, and has a warm-hearted tone.
