1	unbeatable for the price	I have these hooked up to my "bottom of the line" 2 year old Dell laptop. I usually listen to oregonlive.com (a great all classical station highly recommended ) and the sound quality is excellent. Ihave the sub turned all the way down and it seems fine. I bought the "white box version" (check around for cheap shipping) because at this price I don't think I would worry about a warranty on speakers.	positive
1	Quality Sound	If you know anything about Harmon Kardon than you know they produce quality products. This system is nice if you're not looking for a home theater system for your PC. It is great for everyday general computer use as well as listening to music. The highs are clear and the bass is substantial. If You're looking for a good bang for your buck computer stereo system this should work. My only suggestion is do not turn up the gain on the subwoofer too much or you'll get some distortion and wear out the life of the speaker. Also I would keep your equalizer tuned down some because the high frequencies can be a little ear piercing with four one inch tweeters.	positive
0	Why is AMAZON marketing this book?	In all the years as a weekend mechanic I have never seen a book with more sketchy information. They would have been better off focusing on one model than trying to cram every vehicle from 1995-1999 in one 1400 page book. The price is outrageous!	negative
1	lens cap keeper	I have had mine for couple of months, and works great. Using it with a nikon 55mm and 200mm lens. I have hooked it to the camera so when I change lens I can just put it on the other lens.	positive
0	April Fools Sike	Ok I love the actors from other movies that they have played in. But this movie I did not like them in this movie it was to ghetto.	negative
0	Good Housekeeping	Good Housekeeping does not send a notice to the person receiving the subscription in a timly manner. It shouldn't take 2 to 3 weeks to receive notification.	negative
1	Great outdoor sink	I got this sink for my patio. I wanted something that I could rinse off dishes, wash my hands, and if needed, get water for boiling. I wanted to be able to do this without getting/building a cabinet, running a pipe underground and plumbing a sink. This did all of it and then some. The only flaw is that it is all plastic and some not very strong.	positive
1	Diaz presents a true picture of being Latino in the US.	Diaz writes powerfully and honestly in "Drown". It was truly an experience reading this book because I understood where he was coming from. "Drown" sheds much needed light on the expections many Latinos have when they arrive in the US--the reality of the "American Dream" is not easily fulfilled. There is a lot of humor in this short book as well...from childhood to adulthood. In my opinion, Diaz easily joins the ranks of such great Latino writers as Esmeralda Santiago, Roberto Santiago and Piri Thomas. I look forward to reading his next literary work.	positive
1	A Must!	Nat King Cole is One Of The Greatest Artists Ever.His Voice is a Diamond unto itself.This Collection Reflects His Genius.He was So RIch in Tone that He Made it Look Too Easy.The Man was In His Own League&Class.	positive
1	I love this guy!	Craig David's "Born to Do It" is awesome! His voice is smooth as silk and his beats are kick booty! Two-step is seriously makin' it huge here. I mean N'sync used a little two-step on there album and they were inspired be Craig David! Criag's album is worth every penny. GET IT NOW!!!	positive
0	A sad attempt at setting a predictable romance in war.	This was quite a let down when it comes to movies. The cinematography was wonderful, however it was severely hindered by a poor script that was monotonous, predictable, and overdone. It was like they made a story so they could have an excuse to charge people for 20-30 minutes of special effects. Oh well, what else is new in Hollywood?	negative
1	This is a great stretching book!	This book has been so valuable to me. I have had some shoulder, back, and arm problems due to my occupation and repetitive motions, and since I use these stretches every morning, I am no longer in pain. It is very easy to locate the stretches you need for any of the muscle groups, and it is written in a concise manner with great illustrations and just enough explanation. Highly recommended!	positive
1	U will never read anything like it	I read One Hudred Years of SOlitude like 6 times over the years, and it still holds its magic and atmosphyre. Just an unbelievable classic. It feels weary and long at moments, also distracting at moments but its originality and magical ventures arise and fill the soul. Must have.	positive
0	Worked great.... Until:	I've had a tough time finding a great rivet gun locally (Small community in SE Alaska)... So I ordered a gun labeled with one of my favorite household tool brand names.I put it to the test... started off immediately with 3/16 stainless pop rivets on a project. It did great... not a lot of leverage though. It performed great until the handle broke. Literally, the handle broke in half in the middle of the rivet... The metal appeared porous and cheap. I hope it's a fluke for the rest of you. But It's going into my drawer full of incompetent rivet guns. Definitely not "Contractor Grade."	negative
1	good read	This book was worth reading once. It's not the type of book I would read over and over again though.	positive
1	Billy Currington's New CD-AMAZING!	Billy Currington's new CD truly is a wonderful country album! From the slow, sweet ballads, to the up beat sing-a-longs!When I first heard this CD I fell in love with only hearing the first song! Trust me on this, if you purchase this album, you will not be disappointed!	positive
1	I love it!	The RC1 remote control is great! It's a much better solution than the timer for self portraits and shots where you want to reduce shake.	positive
0	Broke into pieces in less than a week.	Buyer beware! I picked this up at Target and it fell apart after less than a week. The metal twisted out of shape and broke off. I'm shopping for another model on amazon and hope to have better luck this time - since it's actually a great concept.	negative
0	Not Yet	Ok, nice half way step. You need to do this right. Take a hard look at the iphone. Its all about color! This is not rocket science. Someone on the development team...please make the leap into now. Color and the internet and magazines, pictures video etc. etc. etc. I would buy this in a heart beat if it was truly about now, but it is about 5 or 6 years ago. Its almost amazing, but not yet.	negative
0	Read Everything Else First	Lonesome Dove is one of my favorite books of all time and I have enjoyed all of his other books (Terms of Endearment, Comanche Moon, Buffalo Girls, Anything for Billy, Streets of Laredo, etc) however I had trouble finishing Duane's Depressed. The first half of the book rolled along but the second half became unbearably slow. I felt like I was reading a character study by James Joyce.This book did not have the memorable characters characteristic of McMurtry novels. Imagine Lonesome Dove being a character study of Woodrow Call, it certainly would not win a Pulitzer. Maybe I prefer the Lonesome Dove saga better. I still recommend this book to those who love the Texasville series but for first time Larry McMurtry readers, try reading Lonesome Dove or Terms of Endearment before you read this book.	negative
1	Castle First Season	When we found Castle on Tv and watched we fell in love with the show .. so I bought the first two seasons on DVD and can't wait to get the other 3 seasons and watch it ... and get caught up can't wait for the new season to come out ...	positive
1	One of the best	Some will disagree but I definitely consider this recording as one of the best, the first in line probably being Solti. The entire cast is first rate. Jon Vickers in his younger years has that unique metallic voice that sets him apart; Gre Brouwentstijn is a fantastic and fragile Sieglinde; George London is a unique Wotan. The final scene when Wotan puts Brunhilde to sleep is breathtaking! Leinsdorf's direction is dramatic. Some will say the "cathedral"-like sound is a drawback. I beg to disagree. In my mind, it adds something "huge" to the set: the spatial volume of the opera is that of the gods and demi-gods, not just that of humankind. All in all, a fine recording I am most happy to have purchased, and all the more so that I was offered the orginal 33 LP box-set when I was only thirteen, back in 1963. That brings back very fine memories.	positive
1	I like it	Is a must reading !!!! I admire Souad for her acomplishments after what she has gone through . Sadto say that this type of behaviour is still happening in some parts of the world	positive
1	Still a fantastic movie!	The image on Blu-ray is a little soft compared to more recent movies because of the way it was shot, but the picture and sound are still miles better than the standard DVDs. Totally worth the upgrade.	positive
0	Good Book but missing page	This is a very good book in terms of content. It is only sad that page 10 of the book is completely missing and in it's place we have page 12 which is printed twice. This explains why I give it such a low review. I was able to pick this up just after browsing through the book for less than 10 minutes. A detailed search would probably show more. The editors should at least make sure they are giving you good quality if they make you pay this much for a book. I think the book is good enough to me to look for another edition (which by the way are rare) or to have it ordered again if they fix this problem.	negative
0	not the same	Returned these because my son wanted the Regular fit - these were not it - they aren't the same and didn't fit him high enough in the waist	negative
0	I think Stephen King was referring to "The Outter Limits"	I think Stephen King was referring to "The Outter Limits" when he made that quote "the best horror series ever put on TV"Even Stephen King, in his book DANSE MACABRE (p. 216 of the oversized paperback), calls this "the best horror series ever put on TV	negative
1	Loved It!	I loved this one as much as the first. I can't possbily say enough about this love story. I could read this series again and again.	positive
1	Wonderful Childhood Memories	My father read us stories from this book to my brothers, sisters, and me on his knee. Unfortunately we have only one copy; my mother still has it and doesn't know to whom to give it. I love the stories and the illustrations. Two of the poems from this book I can still recite, 40 years later: The "Goops" and "Mud." I am going to buy four more as Christmas presents for my siblings!	positive
1	Dog Balls!	Don't buy your dog tennis balls anymore. They eat them. That's not good for a pup. Instead, I use these and a racket to knock the balls way out for him. It saves my arm too! Don't buy the blue ones if your dog has strong jaws, get the green.	positive
1	I never laughed so hard in my entire life!!!!!!!	I love Daphne & Celeste, they're the best!! Their songs are bubbly and fun. The only serious track is "Hey Boy"; the girls are fighting over a boy, the bridge is cool: "talk to the hand cuz the face aint listening, cuz i'm hot girl and you're not girl..." This album has no boundaries; it's almost as if each song is made up on the spot, but obviously thats not true. It takes a lot of time and effort to make an album, and Daphne & Celeste do a pretty good job of it.I don't know where they've disappeared to. Their last single was a cover by Alice Cooper called "School's Out". Since then, there has been no new songs or anything that has to do with Daphne & Celeste. I read somewhere that their next single will be called "P.A.R.T.Y.", but we will find out if thats true.Daphne & Celeste, if you're reading this, please show yourselves cuz you are AWESOME and no one can ever be as good as you, and thats a fact!	positive
1	Wow! What a great camcorder!	I recommend this camcorder. The picture quality is excellent. The still pictures are easy to take and easy to download to a computer. I wish it came with a better battery, a carying case, a larger capacity memory stick, and a seperate battery charger-so be prepared to spend a little more money to upgrade these. There are too many features on this camcorder to brag about- the user manual is quite large.	positive
0	Not so good.	Beautiful pot except not very useful. I have seasoned this pot at least 5 times now but it still rusts. Veggies become black.	negative
1	Exquisite Photographs	Parks and Klepser do a wonderful job documenting the evolution and transformation of Miami and Miami Beach. A great book for illustrating Miami and Miami Beach's past history (for those people who believe there is little) and a wonderful guide to our present tropical metropolis.	positive
0	OK if all you're cutting is typewriter paper	When this circle cutter arrived I tested it out on a sheet of typewriter paper, and it made a clean cut and a little circle of paper popped out. When I tried it on a variety of artisan papers that were slightly thicker, however, the product failed and could not cope with any extra thickness because its blade is too shallow.In addition, the so-called guides to set up a circle's diameter are a joke, and trial-and-error seem to be the only way to get a precise measurement.Given these two failures, it's not really worth piling on to add that the entire cutter is an awkward mess of a design, but it is. I only bought this because I used to believe that Fiskars makes quality products. I was wrong.	negative
1	We read this every night!	My 2 y/o asks to read this every night before bed. We've had it for months now and she still loves it. A great story... very sweet!	positive
0	Er.....what's that....?	Coming right off of finishing Laughing in the Wind and into this series was probably not a good thing....I'm half-way through and debating if I should wrap this as a Christmas gift for some of my unsuspecting "TV serial newbie friends". Not really anything to brag about - the plot seems very simplistic, but tries too hard to be deep and significant. TOO MANY slow-motion "glamour shots" and "sticatto" action scenes.I wouldn't recommend spending so much money on something like this....	negative
0	No more Verilux for me	This light only lasted about 6 weeks and then almost caught fire. This is the second Verilux light I have purchased that malfunctioned in the same manner. Not trying anymore of their products.	negative
0	Incompetent book	This book is not for a serious distributed developer. The book takes a look at RMI from 100,000 feet. If you are a serious RMI user, you are better off reading Javasoft RMI tutorials and RMI specification.	negative
1	Wow, definetely surprising!	... I came into this thinking it would be corny and dumb. What did I know? This was suspenceful and good! Don't listen to what everyone else who's ditching this movie! Frank Morrison(Travolta) is just a normal parent who has a suspision for his son's(O'Leary) step father(Vaughn). A suposively dangerous man. I think it was a good movie, kept you guessing till the end, I recomend it!!	positive
1	Source Naturals Attentive Child, 120 Chewable Wafers	My 6 years old kid is very very unattended. Cannot concentrate for a minute. I used this product combined with Omega 3 pills. It really helps. Attention and concentration in my kid really improves with these 2 products. Highly recommended!	positive
0	Give me a break	People that you know who have read this book, share knowing looks and invite you, rather cautiously, to take part thereof and be one of them. Enlightened by the great knowledge that is hidden between the covers of the Da Vinci Code.So you do and although you find the writing surprisingly mediocre, you continue hoping that the secret it holds will make you one in the Fellowship of Da Vinci heads.And what, dear reader, is the great secret that has been kept from us for 20 centuries?Women are receptacles! Containers, that's what we are. For what you might ask? I'll give you one guess.Quick someone alert Betty Friedan!	negative
1	just a great powder measure!!!!	I bought this for our second possibles bag for my 54 cal Thompson Hawkens. It does exactly what I need it to do and for the price just cannot be beaten.	positive
1	A little dated, but my daughter enjoys them.	I remembered these from when I was a kid. The world has changed a lot since these books were written. The basic stories are fun, and my daughter read through them pretty quickly.	positive
0	Borring Zzzzzzzz	Ok, first of all, this movie just flat out sucked, the narrator sounded like he was trying to be scary (which he wasn't), and all they showed were pictures, about three suicides, and a bunch of operations that you could just as easily seen if you were to turn on your T.V., and go to the The Learning Channel (T.L.C.). So over all, if actually want to rent this movie, go ahead! But grab a pillow and be prepared to fall asleep!!!	negative
0	blankets	where are the blankets?? never got them in the mail or it was stolen ;-( I have emailed the seller 3 times--nothing from them at all!!! Im not happy with the seller at all because they never responded...	negative
1	Didn't think I would really use it - Now I can't go back!	Had been through a few electronics stores where several types of hard drives were being sold and I had thought I wouldn't need any of those. Then I saw the price of several external drives come down low ... my kind of low. I thought I might/could use it for backup of important data and programs. Now I find I am using the USB Drive almost every day, for almost every day things, for saving downloaded programs, scaned pictures ... other stuff ... and of course, backup of data and important files. I now can not see myself without the USB External Hard Drive.Now the wonder if I will think of buying another drive within the next couple of years.	positive
1	Very sexy and fun!	This product was great. It smells and tastes wonderful and doesn't leave any sort of weird residue, so it's comfortable to wear. It also adds a lot of fun to the bedroom. ;)	positive
1	biological warfare thrills & spills	Rebeccasreads highly recommends PLAGUE MAKER as the latest multi-layed thriller from the "Insect Author" Tim Downs.An FBI counterterrorism agent is contacted by an aging Chinese man with a story too terrible to ignore, of unspeakable tragedies & unthinkable evil, & old men with long memories.PLAGUE MAKER is a first class hair-raiser about dead fleas & very live rats & what they carry, fake antique relics & camouflaged old ships, murdered men & WWII survivors, hostage negotiators & terrorist plots, young workaholics with broken hearts & stifled souls, as well as some fascinating history about biological warfare, all superbly mixed with heart-pounding action & delightful dashes of humor.PLAGUE MAKER is also about revenge & forgiveness, & how different cultures tell their stories.	positive
0	Words you Shoold Kno-w	I recently purchased the Kindle version of this book. If you liked the title of this review, you'll love this book. The concept and format of the book are good but, as the previous reviewer noted, the editing is terrible. There are frequent misspellings and the pronunciation guide leaves much to be desired.	negative
1	A must read for a beginning fan or a diehard	Hagstrom does a surprisingly good job of mixing interesting historical anecdotes and economic discussion. Don't be fooled by the title, anyone can understand this book. The author examines all aspects of the sport in a very concise, clear and very easy to understand way. But he also keeps it lively with witty stories from the past and present. It is not just about the economics. If you're just getting into NASCAR, this is an essential read. It gives great historical background with fascinating analysis of the business of NASCAR. A must read for the devoted fan too.	positive
1	Everything you need for pulmonary phys.	An amazing book on the how pulmonary physiology really works. Extremely detailed and the ever so important quick read. You will not have to get another book concerning this topic. I may be a little biased as Levitzky was a professor at my school and I had first hand experience with him and his book. However, I was reassured when I saw 3 different Pulm/CC docs with his book on their shelf.	positive
0	Made me sick....	This mulivitamin is very strong. I do not recommend if you are sensitive to vitamis or just have a sensitive stomache. I had bad heart burn and diarreah. I have taken many other different multivitamin brands, this is by far the worst.	negative
0	Cheap	I was looking for a nice wood cutting board and when I came across this set, I thought it was perfect! My husband does most of the cooking, so I knew he would appreciate the different sizes and I was hoping that the ridges around the edges would help contain his messes.When they arrived, I opened the box and couldn't believe how thin these boards were! The three stacked together were just about as thick as what I would expect one board to be. When they were used, the wood isn't that durable - after just a couple uses, you could see knife marks and splintering.I wouldn't recommend these boards to anyone, although....I did give two stars because you CAN cut on them (so they are somewhat utilitarian).	negative
0	Feed the Martians	I kept wanting Dakota Fanning to be fed to the martians. All she did was scream. Did not add anything to the movie.	negative
0	A waste or more trees (even recycled)	"Like wow uh I feel like yeah I can like really uh sure that's my, like you know 'space' and yeah, DRESDENlike FIRE BOMBSLondonwow FISH AND CHIPSStPauls angstwithdifferential equations for ballasticV2 trajectories visionholocaausthellburning and hey what the heck even like..you know it's a micro or maybe macro of like multi-layered something, you know?". Give us a break! Read this psycho-babble when first published- of course "highly praised", must read as "really significant" by all the literary luminaries. Thought it was my "just not getting it" so what the heck, another go round - terminal obtuseness and incomprehensibility leads to only more dead trees and wasted ink	negative
1	'The Engager' - works good	Our company had some trailers that had dead batteries in the 'break-away' systems. Instead of just replacing batteries - (which were quite expensive) I decided to replace the whole system. Found the 'Hopkins Engager' at Amazon. It was cheaper than a battery for our existing systems and came with a switch and everything else new. It was easy to install and it works good. I really like the battery meter that tells if your charge circuit is working on the pull vehicle. Good product	positive
1	DC would be proud	This story isn't one you can find anywhere else; it's original, intelligent, and doesn't once compromise the integrity of DC comics.	positive
1	Long lasting	Very long lasting charge, it was at least two weeks before I had to plug in the charger again. I am very pleased with this razor. While nothing can get as close as a good blade, this does very well. Cleaning is not the easiest, but still jusst a few min. and you are don with that too. All in all..a very good deal	positive
1	Not used yet	I ordered this when I ordered a replacement batter for my old UPS. I haven't used it yet, but the footprint is smaller and VA larger. If I didn't spend so much time at the GF's, I'd have more to write but I'm sure I'll be happy.	positive
0	Mad yawn in fine regalia	My wife and I both agreed that the not-so-merry Juana was decidedly bonkers halfway through the film, but the film's point of view that she was simply love-obsessed drained any other sympathy that might have been developed for her condition. The result: detachment from the characters, indifference as to the outcome, and yawns.Only the magnificent costumes kept our eyes open.Maybe those steeped in Spanish culture, sexual sacrifice, and the whore/Madonna dichotomy will find much to enjoy.	negative
0	Utter Nonsense!	This book is nothing other than an attempt to re-write history and replace fact with fiction.If you want to know who the 'historical' Jesus is, then pick up the New Testament and read it. In particular, I point to the three synoptic Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke) which are three different takes on the same story. Its obvious that they are speaking about real, historical events.Another historical guide then would be the writings of the Fathers of the Church (Jerome, Augustine etc). Contrary to what this book would tell you, there was no attempt to white wash the story of Jesus: there is an historical, unbroken chain of witness from the Apostles downwards which preserved the deposit of faith.Don't even waste a minutes time with this book.	negative
1	What is this gorgeous chaos ?	Just buy this album. 'Dry the rain' is the best song ever. 'Dog's got a bone' is close to being the best ballad ever. Each song is as original and unexpected as an earthquake. Push it out. Feel the Beta vibe.	positive
0	Not enough useful information	If you're looking for a good book on how to write a compelling resume and prepare it for online use, I recommend you look elsewhere. While this book covers resume creation, as well as online format information, these sections are too slight to really help you write an effective resume, cyber-focused or not. The authors seem more interested in technology (OCR, resume software) and offbeat career search areas (government retirees, for example) than resume content.While the more recent edition of this book may have more up-to-date job site listings (and the rating system is good), the listings in this edition are already out-of-date.For a better book on resume writing that also covers much of the cyber territory, try Resumes for Dummies.	negative
0	crosley crap	I was very disappointed with my purchase.the record player doesnt play very clear. and the tapes were clear,then the tape player wasnt eatting them. I would not recommend spending all that $$ for something i think is not that good.	negative
0	Obviously Written by a Dooms-Dayer!	I was very disappointed in this book. Not only was much of the information out of date, many of the contacts were unreachable, but my feeling is the author is promoting the dooms-dayer mentality. He must feel the US banks are out to steal his money with the advise he has to offer. I feel this book does more harm than good to the global financial industry.	negative
1	Unbelievalbe	This dart board is better than I could ever have imagined. I have a real electronic dart board and with the exception of automatic scoring this is an exceptional dart board. This is a great gift for younger kids. They love it.	positive
1	GREAT HORROR MOVIE	This is one of the greatest horror movies I have ever seen. But I will admit that I have not seen it since I was a kid, but I can't imagine having a different reaction. I can't understand why this movie has not been released to DVD yet. Not only that, you can't get it on a new VHS, and I haven't seen it being shown on TV for I don't know how long. Why is this? Did someone make someone mad? They put every crappy B movie on DVD, but this great classic lies dormant. I have a short list of "must haves" on DVD and this is #1.	positive
0	Major Holes in Theory	I had to give an extra star for all the work done researching (I would have given it only one star otherwise), but the book doesn't address several problems with the Theory "MacDonald did it".1. A person tweaking on amphetamines doesn't just stop and calmly, rationally stage a crime scene.2. Evidence that MacDonald was there is NOT evidence that he killed his wife. (Take notice he did live there!)3. An open chest wound is not a "flesh wound"! It is hazardous to life even today.4. The Jury didn't hear all of the evidence, even McGinniss had to acknowledge this in the book.5. Hearsay evidence is high suspect, especially when it is not sourced.	negative
0	No INK!	I have had this printer only 3 months. I don't print very much but now when I need ink, it's run out! Okkkkkkkk, I go shopping for an ink cart. Can I find one? Not a Black one! I have looked everywhere online and cannot find the black ink #c6614A ANYWHERE! And Although I did find a close match to the color cart. The desc. does not list the Deskjet 612C as a model that uses it. BEWARE BUYER! What good is a printer with NO INK?	negative
0	How many Libra women has Robin McNaughton known?	I believe in astrology. I have enjoyed books by authors such as Grant Lewi, Marion D. March, Joan McEvers, Robert Pelletier, and others. But Robin McNaughton is way off the mark. She claims that Libra women are hopelessly dependent on men and can be mistreated and still stay with a man. WRONG! My sister and I are both Libras, neither of us has ever been in a relationship just to be in a relationship, in fact I don't even believe in finding another half or someone to complete me. I found this description of Libra women a huge insult. And I would rather be alone than with a mean person, or even someone who just didn't thrill me.	negative
0	GARBAGE!!!!	Yes it is cheap but I was expecting a stink! I broke these "stink" bombs at work and, NO SMELL WHATSOEVER! Don't even waste your money or time on this product! Total BULLS***!	negative
0	Very Poor Sound Quality	I can't believe anyone would produce and/or sell such poor sounding recordings. What a waste of money! Sounds like they put a Bob Marley CD inside a cheap boombox and put the boom box in a garbage can, put the lid on the garbage can, lit a fatty and started recording!	negative
1	Absolutely Stunning!	I would have to say that Lisa Kelly has the purest voice I think I have ever heard, and is a stand-out even amoung the stellar performance that was recorded on the "Celtic Woman" CD. I highly recommend this CD for anyone who truly appreciates a beautiful voice.I had heard Celtic music before but immediately fell in love with this genre of music after listening to Lisa and the other "Celtic Woman" performers, just absolutely amazing. You definately need to get one for the home entertainment system and one to put in your car as you will never want to be far from the calming, soothing, inspiring music of this talented genius.	positive
0	I had to force myself to finish this one	I've read all of Turow's books and have always been captivated from beginning to end. How different this one is! I'll finish it out of sheer obstinacy, but I have had a very hard time staying interested. I lived through the campus protests of 1970, and I still couldn't connect with it. I'm less than 100 pages from the end, and I'm still trying to figure out what's it's about! I keep thinking there's a plot in here somewhere! I will definitely think twice about buying another Turow book if this is representative of what he's going to write.	negative
0	Good Tool	Had an electric power washer for years.bought this one because of the reviews.Tried it out around the house and I was fully satisfied.Has plenty of power and I like the features that it brings.For the money this is a good power washer,I would recommend it.	negative
1	It's Good	I don't usually purchase country and western CDs, but I wanted WE Still Trust In God. It was worth every penny I paid. The whole CD is excellent.	positive
0	DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY	THE worst! Washington and Hawke exchange badly scripted rants in performances no better than those found in really wretched community theatre. Fuqua's uninspired directing turns this movie into a typical made-for-ghetto blaster. The corrupt-cop genre has been done better MANY times before. As for Oscar, God in not great, D. In this case, God is overly generous.	negative
0	Ugh	If you want scifi go elsewhere. If you want an arrogant polemic then this is your book. What a waste of time (pun fully intended).	negative
0	Save your money for the real thing	Great idea, poor execution. Very difficult to see a thing and keep it in focus, and the lighting function for underwater, which is why I bought it, doesn't really work unless you're in pretty clear water.	negative
0	DO NOT BUY THIS!!!	The batteries were not the same as what they said they were, and the polarity of the batteries was reversed. Because of this I ended up damaging them while charging, which is something anyone else would end up doing with this crap. DO NOT BUY THIS!!!	negative

0	So corny!	I'm thrilled I only purchased this DVD for $5 at Target because that's about what it's worth! The graphics are so cheesy and low budget, the music is annoying, and the "ring master" looks like he's spent one too many days on the beach inhaling helium gas. It is horrible! If you can get past the corniness and bad quality, there is some educational value. But, in my opinion, there are much better DVD options than this. Elmo goes to Preschool and Signing Time's ABC DVDs are far better, very very educational, entertaining, and most importantly, will not encourage parents to pray for an aneurysm after watching the movie.	negative

1	If you can't make it to Mongolia this season....	Mykel Board -- punk rocker, New Yorker, gonzo provocateur -- fulfills a lifetime dream by moving to Mongolia for one year to teach English...and I'm so glad he did. His easy-to-read writing style is brutally honest and hysterically funny, from his problems overcoming constipation (because Metamucil is not sold in Outer Mongolia, Board resorts to consuming rancid street food to encourage diarrhea), to his visits to Mongolian dance clubs, to the confusing hurdles presented in this post-Soviet limbo land ("Welcome to Mongolia!" is the standard response from natives when cultural idiosyncracies are brought to attention). Unlike most travel memoirs, there are no overwrought or pretentious analyses of a foreign culture -- even though there were times that I, a fellow traveler, longed for Mykel to take a deeper look at this rarely examined country -- making this book a fun, unrestrained ride through a remote, Kafka-esque kingdom. Buy this book.	positive

1	Compelling, stayed up late to finish.	I read La Maravilla previously, which I liked very much and have recommended highly over the years.The Gods Go Begging is as compelling with more teeth, due to the grown up protagonist and the masterfully interwoven experience of minoritized urban youth, social justice--or lack thereof--and Viet Nam.Poetic at times, compelling throughout.

1	Our 3 year old liked it	We purchased this along with a couple of other Fisher Price cd's, and our 3 year old likes it as well as the others.

My only warning is that the lyrics to Chick Chick Chick Chick Chicken can really stick in your head!!!	positive

I adore the "wall hanging" animals, but, not only are they unlisted online, but they are quite hard to find. Once Target sees the popularity of a pattern-they should make a better attempt to make it available; might I suggest a way to locate what local stores have it available to save a multitude of phone calls etc...	positive

I want to have SAMK in my home so much, I'm tempted to risk it and buy it from one of the sites above, but so far I haven't.

0	Do not buy this wireless mouse!	I had a Logitech wireless notebok mouse, but the receiver broke and I needed a new mouse quickly. I bought this thing - what a mistake! The connection between the mouse and the usb receiver constantly "breaks". I have to remove the receiver from my laptop, turn off the mouse (button on bottom is VERY tiny), and then re-connect the receiver, turn on the mouse again, and push the re-set button on both the receiver and then the mouse. SOMETIMES that works. Other times, I have to completely re-boot my laptop.Also, I have gone through three sets of AAA batteries in three weeks.I have rarely written a review on Amazon, but wanted to warn others about this particular item. I am typing this on my laptop and just tried to use the mouse (yes, I still have it - haven't had time to get a new one and sometimes it's still better than my efforts at using the touch pad), and I have to re-connect it again.I wouldn't give this thing any stars, but you have to give at least one.	negative

unbeatable for the price

I have these hooked up to my "bottom of the line" 2 year old Dell laptop. I usually listen to oregonlive.com (a great all classical station highly recommended ) and the sound quality is excellent. Ihave the sub turned all the way down and it seems fine. I bought the "white box version" (check around for cheap shipping) because at this price I don't think I would worry about a warranty on speakers.

Quality Sound

If you know anything about Harmon Kardon than you know they produce quality products. This system is nice if you're not looking for a home theater system for your PC. It is great for everyday general computer use as well as listening to music. The highs are clear and the bass is substantial. If You're looking for a good bang for your buck computer stereo system this should work. My only suggestion is do not turn up the gain on the subwoofer too much or you'll get some distortion and wear out the life of the speaker. Also I would keep your equalizer tuned down some because the high frequencies can be a little ear piercing with four one inch tweeters.

Why is AMAZON marketing this book?

In all the years as a weekend mechanic I have never seen a book with more sketchy information. They would have been better off focusing on one model than trying to cram every vehicle from 1995-1999 in one 1400 page book. The price is outrageous!

Great outdoor sink

I got this sink for my patio. I wanted something that I could rinse off dishes, wash my hands, and if needed, get water for boiling. I wanted to be able to do this without getting/building a cabinet, running a pipe underground and plumbing a sink. This did all of it and then some. The only flaw is that it is all plastic and some not very strong.

Diaz presents a true picture of being Latino in the US.

Diaz writes powerfully and honestly in "Drown". It was truly an experience reading this book because I understood where he was coming from. "Drown" sheds much needed light on the expections many Latinos have when they arrive in the US--the reality of the "American Dream" is not easily fulfilled. There is a lot of humor in this short book as well...from childhood to adulthood. In my opinion, Diaz easily joins the ranks of such great Latino writers as Esmeralda Santiago, Roberto Santiago and Piri Thomas. I look forward to reading his next literary work.

A sad attempt at setting a predictable romance in war.

This was quite a let down when it comes to movies. The cinematography was wonderful, however it was severely hindered by a poor script that was monotonous, predictable, and overdone. It was like they made a story so they could have an excuse to charge people for 20-30 minutes of special effects. Oh well, what else is new in Hollywood?

This book has been so valuable to me. I have had some shoulder, back, and arm problems due to my occupation and repetitive motions, and since I use these stretches every morning, I am no longer in pain. It is very easy to locate the stretches you need for any of the muscle groups, and it is written in a concise manner with great illustrations and just enough explanation. Highly recommended!

Worked great.... Until:

I've had a tough time finding a great rivet gun locally (Small community in SE Alaska)... So I ordered a gun labeled with one of my favorite household tool brand names.I put it to the test... started off immediately with 3/16 stainless pop rivets on a project. It did great... not a lot of leverage though. It performed great until the handle broke. Literally, the handle broke in half in the middle of the rivet... The metal appeared porous and cheap. I hope it's a fluke for the rest of you. But It's going into my drawer full of incompetent rivet guns. Definitely not "Contractor Grade."

Read Everything Else First

Lonesome Dove is one of my favorite books of all time and I have enjoyed all of his other books (Terms of Endearment, Comanche Moon, Buffalo Girls, Anything for Billy, Streets of Laredo, etc) however I had trouble finishing Duane's Depressed. The first half of the book rolled along but the second half became unbearably slow. I felt like I was reading a character study by James Joyce.This book did not have the memorable characters characteristic of McMurtry novels. Imagine Lonesome Dove being a character study of Woodrow Call, it certainly would not win a Pulitzer. Maybe I prefer the Lonesome Dove saga better. I still recommend this book to those who love the Texasville series but for first time Larry McMurtry readers, try reading Lonesome Dove or Terms of Endearment before you read this book.

One of the best

Some will disagree but I definitely consider this recording as one of the best, the first in line probably being Solti. The entire cast is first rate. Jon Vickers in his younger years has that unique metallic voice that sets him apart; Gre Brouwentstijn is a fantastic and fragile Sieglinde; George London is a unique Wotan. The final scene when Wotan puts Brunhilde to sleep is breathtaking! Leinsdorf's direction is dramatic. Some will say the "cathedral"-like sound is a drawback. I beg to disagree. In my mind, it adds something "huge" to the set: the spatial volume of the opera is that of the gods and demi-gods, not just that of humankind. All in all, a fine recording I am most happy to have purchased, and all the more so that I was offered the orginal 33 LP box-set when I was only thirteen, back in 1963. That brings back very fine memories.

Good Book but missing page

This is a very good book in terms of content. It is only sad that page 10 of the book is completely missing and in it's place we have page 12 which is printed twice. This explains why I give it such a low review. I was able to pick this up just after browsing through the book for less than 10 minutes. A detailed search would probably show more. The editors should at least make sure they are giving you good quality if they make you pay this much for a book. I think the book is good enough to me to look for another edition (which by the way are rare) or to have it ordered again if they fix this problem.

I never laughed so hard in my entire life!!!!!!!

I love Daphne & Celeste, they're the best!! Their songs are bubbly and fun. The only serious track is "Hey Boy"; the girls are fighting over a boy, the bridge is cool: "talk to the hand cuz the face aint listening, cuz i'm hot girl and you're not girl..." This album has no boundaries; it's almost as if each song is made up on the spot, but obviously thats not true. It takes a lot of time and effort to make an album, and Daphne & Celeste do a pretty good job of it.I don't know where they've disappeared to. Their last single was a cover by Alice Cooper called "School's Out". Since then, there has been no new songs or anything that has to do with Daphne & Celeste. I read somewhere that their next single will be called "P.A.R.T.Y.", but we will find out if thats true.Daphne & Celeste, if you're reading this, please show yourselves cuz you are AWESOME and no one can ever be as good as you, and thats a fact!

OK if all you're cutting is typewriter paper

When this circle cutter arrived I tested it out on a sheet of typewriter paper, and it made a clean cut and a little circle of paper popped out. When I tried it on a variety of artisan papers that were slightly thicker, however, the product failed and could not cope with any extra thickness because its blade is too shallow.In addition, the so-called guides to set up a circle's diameter are a joke, and trial-and-error seem to be the only way to get a precise measurement.Given these two failures, it's not really worth piling on to add that the entire cutter is an awkward mess of a design, but it is. I only bought this because I used to believe that Fiskars makes quality products. I was wrong.

Hagstrom does a surprisingly good job of mixing interesting historical anecdotes and economic discussion. Don't be fooled by the title, anyone can understand this book. The author examines all aspects of the sport in a very concise, clear and very easy to understand way. But he also keeps it lively with witty stories from the past and present. It is not just about the economics. If you're just getting into NASCAR, this is an essential read. It gives great historical background with fascinating analysis of the business of NASCAR. A must read for the devoted fan too.

I was looking for a nice wood cutting board and when I came across this set, I thought it was perfect! My husband does most of the cooking, so I knew he would appreciate the different sizes and I was hoping that the ridges around the edges would help contain his messes.When they arrived, I opened the box and couldn't believe how thin these boards were! The three stacked together were just about as thick as what I would expect one board to be. When they were used, the wood isn't that durable - after just a couple uses, you could see knife marks and splintering.I wouldn't recommend these boards to anyone, although....I did give two stars because you CAN cut on them (so they are somewhat utilitarian).

'The Engager' - works good

Our company had some trailers that had dead batteries in the 'break-away' systems. Instead of just replacing batteries - (which were quite expensive) I decided to replace the whole system.

I really like the battery meter that tells if your charge circuit is working on the pull vehicle. Good product

My wife and I both agreed that the not-so-merry Juana was decidedly bonkers halfway through the film, but the film's point of view that she was simply love-obsessed drained any other sympathy that might have been developed for her condition. The result: detachment from the characters, indifference as to the outcome, and yawns.Only the magnificent costumes kept our eyes open.Maybe those steeped in Spanish culture, sexual sacrifice, and the whore/Madonna dichotomy will find much to enjoy.

Utter Nonsense!

This book is nothing other than an attempt to re-write history and replace fact with fiction.If you want to know who the 'historical' Jesus is, then pick up the New Testament and read it. In particular, I point to the three synoptic Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke) which are three different takes on the same story. Its obvious that they are speaking about real, historical events.Another historical guide then would be the writings of the Fathers of the Church (Jerome, Augustine etc). Contrary to what this book would tell you, there was no attempt to white wash the story of Jesus: there is an historical, unbroken chain of witness from the Apostles downwards which preserved the deposit of faith.Don't even waste a minutes time with this book.

What is this gorgeous chaos ?

Just buy this album. 'Dry the rain' is the best song ever. 'Dog's got a bone' is close to being the best ballad ever. Each song is as original and unexpected as an earthquake. Push it out. Feel the Beta vibe.

Not enough useful information

If you're looking for a good book on how to write a compelling resume and prepare it for online use, I recommend you look elsewhere. While this book covers resume creation, as well as online format information, these sections are too slight to really help you write an effective resume, cyber-focused or not. The authors seem more interested in technology (OCR, resume software) and offbeat career search areas (government retirees, for example) than resume content.While the more recent edition of this book may have more up-to-date job site listings (and the rating system is good), the listings in this edition are already out-of-date.For a better book on resume writing that also covers much of the cyber territory, try Resumes for Dummies.

Obviously Written by a Dooms-Dayer!

I was very disappointed in this book. Not only was much of the information out of date, many of the contacts were unreachable, but my feeling is the author is promoting the dooms-dayer mentality. He must feel the US banks are out to steal his money with the advise he has to offer. I feel this book does more harm than good to the global financial industry.

GREAT HORROR MOVIE

This is one of the greatest horror movies I have ever seen. But I will admit that I have not seen it since I was a kid, but I can't imagine having a different reaction. I can't understand why this movie has not been released to DVD yet. Not only that, you can't get it on a new VHS, and I haven't seen it being shown on TV for I don't know how long. Why is this? Did someone make someone mad? They put every crappy B movie on DVD, but this great classic lies dormant. I have a short list of "must haves" on DVD and this is #1.

Major Holes in Theory

I had to give an extra star for all the work done researching (I would have given it only one star otherwise), but the book doesn't address several problems with the Theory "MacDonald did it".1. A person tweaking on amphetamines doesn't just stop and calmly, rationally stage a crime scene.2. Evidence that MacDonald was there is NOT evidence that he killed his wife. (Take notice he did live there!)3. An open chest wound is not a "flesh wound"! It is hazardous to life even today.4. The Jury didn't hear all of the evidence, even McGinniss had to acknowledge this in the book.5. Hearsay evidence is high suspect, especially when it is not sourced.

No INK!

I have had this printer only 3 months. I don't print very much but now when I need ink, it's run out! Okkkkkkkk, I go shopping for an ink cart. Can I find one? Not a Black one! I have looked everywhere online and cannot find the black ink #c6614A ANYWHERE! And Although I did find a close match to the color cart. The desc. does not list the Deskjet 612C as a model that uses it. BEWARE BUYER! What good is a printer with NO INK?

How many Libra women has Robin McNaughton known?

I believe in astrology. I have enjoyed books by authors such as Grant Lewi, Marion D. March, Joan McEvers, Robert Pelletier, and others. But Robin McNaughton is way off the mark. She claims that Libra women are hopelessly dependent on men and can be mistreated and still stay with a man. WRONG! My sister and I are both Libras, neither of us has ever been in a relationship just to be in a relationship, in fact I don't even believe in finding another half or someone to complete me. I found this description of Libra women a huge insult. And I would rather be alone than with a mean person, or even someone who just didn't thrill me.

Very Poor Sound Quality

I can't believe anyone would produce and/or sell such poor sounding recordings. What a waste of money! Sounds like they put a Bob Marley CD inside a cheap boombox and put the boom box in a garbage can, put the lid on the garbage can, lit a fatty and started recording!

Absolutely Stunning!

I would have to say that Lisa Kelly has the purest voice I think I have ever heard, and is a stand-out even amoung the stellar performance that was recorded on the "Celtic Woman" CD. I highly recommend this CD for anyone who truly appreciates a beautiful voice.I had heard Celtic music before but immediately fell in love with this genre of music after listening to Lisa and the other "Celtic Woman" performers, just absolutely amazing. You definately need to get one for the home entertainment system and one to put in your car as you will never want to be far from the calming, soothing, inspiring music of this talented genius.

I had to force myself to finish this one

I've read all of Turow's books and have always been captivated from beginning to end. How different this one is! I'll finish it out of sheer obstinacy, but I have had a very hard time staying interested. I lived through the campus protests of 1970, and I still couldn't connect with it. I'm less than 100 pages from the end, and I'm still trying to figure out what's it's about! I keep thinking there's a plot in here somewhere! I will definitely think twice about buying another Turow book if this is representative of what he's going to write.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY

THE worst! Washington and Hawke exchange badly scripted rants in performances no better than those found in really wretched community theatre. Fuqua's uninspired directing turns this movie into a typical made-for-ghetto blaster. The corrupt-cop genre has been done better MANY times before. As for Oscar, God in not great, D. In this case, God is overly generous.

Great product

Bought this as a replacement for the exact one I have had for 10 years or so. My dental cleanings are a breeze since there is almost no plaque build up. My gums have also improved. Don't need all the bells and whistles of the other models. Bought through Amazon with free shipping. I would recommend this to anyone.

So corny!

I'm thrilled I only purchased this DVD for $5 at Target because that's about what it's worth! The graphics are so cheesy and low budget, the music is annoying, and the "ring master" looks like he's spent one too many days on the beach inhaling helium gas. It is horrible! If you can get past the corniness and bad quality, there is *some* educational value. But, in my opinion, there are much better DVD options than this. Elmo goes to Preschool and Signing Time's ABC DVDs are far better, very very educational, entertaining, and most importantly, will not encourage parents to pray for an aneurysm after watching the movie.

If you can't make it to Mongolia this season....

Mykel Board -- punk rocker, New Yorker, gonzo provocateur -- fulfills a lifetime dream by moving to Mongolia for one year to teach English...and I'm so glad he did. His easy-to-read writing style is brutally honest and hysterically funny, from his problems overcoming constipation (because Metamucil is not sold in Outer Mongolia, Board resorts to consuming rancid street food to encourage diarrhea), to his visits to Mongolian dance clubs, to the confusing hurdles presented in this post-Soviet limbo land ("Welcome to Mongolia!" is the standard response from natives when cultural idiosyncracies are brought to attention). Unlike most travel memoirs, there are no overwrought or pretentious analyses of a foreign culture -- even though there were times that I, a fellow traveler, longed for Mykel to take a deeper look at this rarely examined country -- making this book a fun, unrestrained ride through a remote, Kafka-esque kingdom. Buy this book.

This movie sucks

, i love movies and i know i gave it 5 stars but the reason is to let people know how bad it was, lol. i am one of over 100 people who think it is 1 star or no star worthy film, lol. that it a hell of alot of people, lol, many dissapointed people who tried to look at this awful film. i never read to much bad reactions to films but this is a film that you can forget to ever see me try to watch. i tried to watch the whole movie in the theatres with my girl but over 70 minutes into thefilm and no laughs from me and her, lol, we finally noticed that we both werent enjoying this painful movie so we got the hell out of the theatre in complete disgust and we felt cheated outta our money. waste of time for you and your family. hell, waste of time to even consider watching this film. no joke. lol, i rather read a book or watch grass grow than to see this garbage, true story

Compelling, stayed up late to finish.

I read La Maravilla previously, which I liked very much and have recommended highly over the years.The Gods Go Begging is as compelling with more teeth, due to the grown up protagonist and the masterfully interwoven experience of minoritized urban youth, social justice--or lack thereof--and Viet Nam.Poetic at times, compelling throughout. I read it in one day and stayed up late to finish it.

Our 3 year old liked it

We purchased this along with a couple of other Fisher Price cd's, and our 3 year old likes it as well as the others. Adults might find the slower songs drag on (e.g. Had a Little Rooster, There's a Hole in the Bucket), but he won't let us skip them -- perhaps because they are slower and easier to understand. My only warning is that the lyrics to Chick Chick Chick Chick Chicken can really stick in your head!!!

Cheap, Cheap, Cheap

I think my husband used these 3 times and both handles have damage. One is completely dried out and has split, the other is close. After receiving them I had to season them and they rusted just from humidity. I cleaned and seasoned them again and they rusted again. Not a good product at all. I will be replacing them with another brand.

This has been one of the most powerful books I've read on reading, and that is after completing 5 years of elementary education!

Very difficult to locate all items

I absolutely LOVE this set; however, it is terribly difficult to locate all of it! Only one store in my area even has it in stock, and they don't have everything. I bought the dust ruffle and it doesn't fit on our standard crib- it is an inch too short (not length of the ruffle to the floor, but end to end), I was very disappointed. I adore the "wall hanging" animals, but, not only are they unlisted online, but they are quite hard to find. Once Target sees the popularity of a pattern-they should make a better attempt to make it available; might I suggest a way to locate what local stores have it available to save a multitude of phone calls etc...

Scarecrow and Mrs. King - BRING IT ON!!!

I can only think of a handful of shows I would gladly pay to own - Lois and Clark, The Nanny, I Dream of Jeannie, Family Matters, Little House on the Prairie, Touched By An Angel - and topping the list is Scarecrow and Mrs. King. A CLEAN FAMILY show with a thread of romance, a little comedy, a little mystery - it was perfect (except it ended toooooooo soon!) What's taking so long to bring it to DVD?I did find 2 websites where SAMK is offered on DVD, but I don't know anything about the sites. Those dvds are priced from $95 to $200. I want to have SAMK in my home so much, I'm tempted to risk it and buy it from one of the sites above, but so far I haven't. Anyone have some advice?And Hollywood...... could you PLEASE produce some new television shows that I wouldn't be embarrassed to watch with my family??!

Do not buy this wireless mouse!

I had a Logitech wireless notebok mouse, but the receiver broke and I needed a new mouse quickly. I bought this thing - what a mistake! The connection between the mouse and the usb receiver constantly "breaks". I have to remove the receiver from my laptop, turn off the mouse (button on bottom is VERY tiny), and then re-connect the receiver, turn on the mouse again, and push the re-set button on both the receiver and then the mouse. SOMETIMES that works. Other times, I have to completely re-boot my laptop.Also, I have gone through three sets of AAA batteries in three weeks.I have rarely written a review on Amazon, but wanted to warn others about this particular item. I am typing this on my laptop and just tried to use the mouse (yes, I still have it - haven't had time to get a new one and sometimes it's still better than my efforts at using the touch pad), and I have to re-connect it again.I wouldn't give this thing any stars, but you have to give at least one.
