0	very bad quality of sound	It transmits the sound in a good distance but quality of sound is really bad. I returned it the very same day I bought.	negative
1	When you want something special..	For personal cd/dvd projects...these can't be beat. Few people have them or have seen them.In colours and clear. The damage rate (shipping) might be high on these ... 2 of my packs were damaged. Amazon offered to take them back.Amazon needs to check on certain items like this for damage...warehouse and or shipping (packaging). Plastic cases are very prone to damage....not the first time for me.	positive
0	Not as good as I expected it will be	Ever since it hit pay dirt with "Ghost" back in the summer of 1990, Hollywood has been fascinated with tales about dead people attemping to contact their grieving loved ones from beyond the grave. The latest varitation on the theme, afilm called 'Dragonfly' turns out to be one of the sappiest entries in the genre. This movie was truly bad with bad actors and a bad storytelling. The reason I give this movie 2 stars is, because the showdown is great.	negative
1	They'd never want to open the present!	Inspirational? Yes. Practical? No. I've never received a present with real flowers on it, like the ones in this book. They certainly are beautiful. This is a great guide to help you think outside the box when it comes to wrapping a present. The cloth gift bags are a great idea!	positive
0	Awful	I bought this book and disliked it so much that it was the one and only book I have ever returned to Amazon. It was terribly dated which would have been acceptable if the content was there but it wasn't. Save some money AND get what you're looking for in Color Drawing: Design Drawing Skills and Techniques for Architects, Landscape Architects, and Interior Designers by Michael E. Doyle. That's what I replaced it with and I love it!	negative
0	Okay but not great	I was looking forward to using this item after I had my baby this past January (c section) but was somewhat dissapointed when I received it. It creases in the middle just after the first use. It is somewhat uncomfortable and bulky, but for $15 dollars what do you expect? I have a long torso and would have perferred something with more coverage and control. If you are looking for something of higher quality and comfort I wouldn't buy this product.	negative
0	No essence, no plot, boring story that drags on and on...	First time I read an Archer book, after my friend recommended him, so I began reading as it promised to have a good plot, about two twin brothers separated at birth.But the story drags on and on, there is literally pages and pages of it, you keep hoping that soon you will arrive at the exciting part, but never happens, there is no story in my opinion. If anything exciting does happen, it soon resolves itself with a GOOD outcome! What??In the end I got so bored waiting to read interesting stuff, I didn't even finish the book, I read about 3 quarters then abandoned it.Im afraid I will not be buying another Jeffrey Archer book, even though other might be better.Sorry...	negative
1	The Shania and Mutt show goes on	It is a well-known fact that Shania and Mutt write and produce the majority of the material she performs. Come On Over is no exception.I personally love Shania's ballads. "You're Still the One", "From This Moment" (with Bryan White), and "You've Got A Way" are all great cuddle songs.I like to pop the CD in my car and roll the windows down for the first four cuts, they are all upbeat, very singable songs, as are "Honey I'm Home", "That Don't Impress Me Much", and "Rock This Country".Come On Over is good, a little over-produced at times, but Shania's powerful voice shines through.	positive
1	Best of all 6	I saw COTC 6 first, then I saw COTC 4 then I saw COTC 3 with Daniel Cerny and I found it the best cuz he was in it. He was perfect for the part and I was wondering too how old he was. I mean in 1992 Demonic Toys was released and he was in it and he was about 8 or 9. I think he's cute in my opinion and i have pictures of him all over my room. im trying to buy COTC 3 but i cant find it. If u know how old he iz please visit expage.com/danielcerny or please email me thank you. bye now.	positive
1	A Classic 1990's Album	The sound of the 1990's is the Alternative Movement. So many bands attempted to copy Pearl Jam. This is the debut release from the band and has such Great songs like, Even Flow, & Jeremy.Ten is a must have!!!	positive
1	Great product	This was bought as a gift and did I not see final product. Did receive a very nice thank you stating it was very nice.	positive
1	A Zona Rosa member's view of Daniell's book...	Rosemary Daniell's new book gives writing tips but also outlinesthe wisdom she had gleaned from meeting obstacles in her own path and helping others deal with their inner demons. Her book is a memoir about Zona Rosa and the many members who share their lives in writing and conversation. In her book, she takes the reader inside the pink zone where talented writers receiveadvice, share comradery, and have fun. Daniell encourages writers to leave their fears at the doorstep. She helps writers confront painful memories and come to terms with their own creativity.I've been a Zona Rosa member for eight years and Daniell's creative nurturing her extraordinary ability as a writing coach and as a relentless taskmaster helped me reach a seemingly unattainable goal. My recently published novel, Row Away From the Rocks,is now on the market. Daniell's book outlines how other writers can also realize their own fantasy.	positive
1	A 'regular guy' astronauts biography	Okay- I have almost all the astronauts biographies and so called auto- biographies.It is hard to impress me, most of the time they are over the top and you can feel the air whipping thru their scarves. Not true or impressive. But when I opened this 128 page book, my first impression was "Hmmm, thin?"But upon reading this I was impressed. Captain Scott, who flew twice in space has done a great job -HIMSELF -in writing and telling the story of the contempoary astronaut experience. From building model airplanes and watching 'Sky King' to flying the Navy's F-14 Tomcat, becoming a NASA mission specialist and walking in space,This is a great book.A quick read, and more importantly- a fun one.You will enjoy this one.	positive
0	More a question (or 2) than a review...	I just watched the trailer for 'Monsters' and have to ask those who have seen the whole movie. I have a Mac Book Pro, and I don't know if that made the difference, but every few moments the trailer hung while more of it was loaded. If I stream this with my computer, is the whole movie going to be like that? Also, I went to the theatre to see 'Cloverfield' with a friend, and we were so disappointed with it we complained to the manager about it, and he was nice enough to give us 2 passes to see a different movie. One comment I saw in these reviews is that you don't really see much of the monsters til the very end, and even then it wasn't much. That sounded a bit like our experience with 'Cloverfield,'so I was wondering if 'Monsters' was really going to be as bad. Any thoughts you can share with me? Thanks!	negative
1	Dress for Diana - a review	Book arrived, via a friend in the US (not postable to Aust) and although the cover was a little scuffed, for the price, not bad. Love the book; just what I was looking for, and although I have only peeked through, I can tell it will be helpful in the research I need.A great memento of a happier time for both Diana and myself. Thanks :D	positive
0	Don't purchase from INTERSPECTIVE LLC	A previous order was linked to this page so assumed it was the 7.25oz (415ml) size since no size was stated. Received the 50ml tiny bottle instead for almost the same price as the 8x bottle.	negative
0	Good product, bad shipping	The product was ok. However they didn't give information about tracking the product and we didn't know if the product was going to come or not as there was a big delay. It was an uncomfortable experience.	negative
0	Definitly not Zeppelin	As the album says in its liner, this was a singer trying to break his way into the recording business with the help of a couple friends. His friends happened to be JPJ and Jimmy Page. This is a technique that labels used in the sixties to get new artists on the charts: billing the stars who helps on the album, but who aren't the featured performers. Overall I really didn't like the music, but I don't really like 50's rock-a-billy to begin with. If you enjoy it, then by all means go for it.	negative
1	Full Dress Gray by Lucian Truscott, IV	This work represents my first read of Lucian Truscott, IV. I must say that I was impressed enough to go out and purchase Full Dress Gray's prequel, "Dress Gray." Ry Slaight, the book's protagonist is everything I look for in a story: A person of principle; Upstanding, yet real. As for the story itself, it gives the reader an insider's look at a military school and it's rules and codes, written and unwritten. I was reminded of Pat Conroy's book, "The Lords of Discipline. This book combines an intriguing setting mixed with a dash of suspense that will keep the reader turning pages long over bedtime.	positive
0	Food Pets Die For: Shocking Facts About Pet Food	Have you glanced at this book. I checked it out at the book store. Honestly she seemed from the thumbing through this book for about 30 minute and to be perfectly honest it seemed to be more of a radical writing a very bios book. I know after thumbing through it- I decided it was a BIG WASTE OF MONEY. This book seemed very similar to another book I had looked at (I forget the name of it since it was a while ago) but that book had something to do with I became a vegitarian and will not eat meat. Seems that Ms. Martin would rather write a title with a shocking factor and then write a very bias story. Yes, you need to research your dog food and decide what is the best dog food to feed your dog, but writing stuff like this seemed to me just a way to get her 15 minutes of claim.I had really hoped this book would of been more about how to determine the good and the bad dog food.	negative
0	Is it better to buy this DVD set than buy it separately?	Hello, was wondering if the DVD set has any special bonus features. When you buy the DVDs that are contained in this set separately, the total comes to $21, as compared to $35 to buy the set together. I was wondering if maybe buying the set has some bonus items that you don't get by buying it separately.Thank you to to the customer who listed out ALL the episodes and DVD titles contained in this set!!! It was a lot of help.	negative
0	lasted only 7 months	I put one coat, as recommended, for new redwood. It worked well for one rainy season but by the end of Spring, my redwood was gray and during a few April showers, I noticed it was not water proof anymore. It lasted only half a year. I am greatly disappointed by this product. It guarantees 3 years of protection from sun and rain...it didn't even come close. I would not recommend purchasing this product.	negative
1	Great for initial learning of instruments...	As a student of Surgical Technology, I need to know all the instruments to hand to the surgeon and assistant. The book is good, but has one shortfall; the pictures are somewhat vague. I mean, that many instruments look alike. The photographs could've been taken to show the curve of many instruments or a macro lens could've been utilized. Still, it's the best book out that I know of to help you learn the instruments.	positive
0	meh	i thought i would like this album a lot more than i do. reggae and the beatles, but some of the songs come across as cheesy cruise ship covers. i really wanted to love it, but it is just ok	negative
1	One Word. "Scope"	I absolutely loved this book. Phillips wrote an amazing debut novel of a modern day 'lost generation.' The characters of 'Prague' hint of the same overtones of searching and self-absorbedness those of as classic Jazz-age novels of Hemmingway and Fitzgeraled. The book is set in Budapest in the early 90's, after the great struggle [and triumph] against Communism. Phillip hints at and guides the reader to seeing that this book could be set in any western European City after the First World WarPhillips has the ability to paint a very broad picture in the [relatively] simple, yet elegant storyline of journalist John Price's search for a sense of self and his place in the world in post-communist central Europe. The only thing that prevents me from given this book 5 stars is prose which wanders and is not always necessary and really slow the book down.	positive
1	Listen Carefully	I read a couple other reviews where George's vocals came into question on a couple of songs he had penned. Memo to reviewers...this is a George Duke CD. Who can sing lyrics to songs written with more feel for the essence of the song than the actual author? Read the liner notes. The vocals are wonderful!That is like saying hey Dylan...your voice sucks! Man you guys are crazy and if you want pure feel and integrity of the music this CD flows and is a continuation of a long line of wonderful music produced by George Duke and his accomplished professional band of musicians. No packaging, no frills, just pure music.George Duke never gets enough credit. Definitely get this CD, sit back and enjoy! Peace.	positive
1	Glen Campbell--Cristmas...Country Style	Glen Campbell has always been one of my all-time favorites, from Witchita Line to Country Boy, and his Christmas songs are no exception. Of all the Christmas songs, which Glen did during the height of his career, the song "Christmas Day" rises above the rest, for this classic is a reminder of how Christmas used to be. Joe Scalise.	positive
1	Greatness!	This compressor is great. It is fairly quiet and handles multiple nailing tools with ease. The wheels make it convenient to get around (although getting it in the back of a vehicle is a task, this thing is HEAVY!). Tank drain valve could be more conveniently positioned to lie at the lowest point either standing or laying down. Can't wait to get more air tools to use with this.	positive
0	1940's for sure	I have to agree with "ren ren" about this book. That is how I also felt about it. Lots of insight into men, which I will use but it does neglect independant women. Or how about men meeting women half way or understanding them? It seems that the woman is doing all the adjusting.It does hit a little on communication but there needs to be more.	negative
0	A logical view	For what this book has done for me I would give it a 10, but as I read what others have written I feel compelled to give it a 1. The reason I give would normally give it a 10 is not because "It opened my eyes!" or "Finally, a book for 'thinkers'!" No, I would give give it a 10 because it forced me to extract the grievences I had with it onto paper. Ishmael is a book full of poor anologies and skewed logic where benefit comes from being able to view the various inconsistancies, rather than from enlightenment. The reason I rate it at a 1 is because it has closed off many of those who read it. Many of the 10's rage about how Ishmael has changed their way of thinking, which is not a bad thing. However, many use the key word forever, and those who've been truely enlightened know that real knowledge is always open to change. I apologize to any followers of Ishmael I may have offended, but hopefully in offending you I also have presented a few new ideas which you may ponder.	negative
1	Tastiest "Good Nutrition" Cracker Going	I have been snacking these crackers with nothing on them for years. They are crispy, tasty and simply delicious. My grandchildren (under 10) love them as snacks instead of sweeter things. They are also wonderful with peanut butter, cottage cheese, any regular cheese (cheddar, brie...you name it)or jams or jellies. A great low calorie snack that also happens to be a "good" food. How amazing is that?	positive
0	Not Very Good	This is pretty much a soap opera in the form of a book, nothing interesting, leaves much to be desired. So boring I have yet to finish reading, even after two months. The story starts out OK but after fifty pages or so begins to really drag on, plus there are way to many filler pages. A good read if you have trouble sleeping.	negative
0	dont slag Baby Born....or else!!!!!!!	i am a Baby Born defender and I want to say to M hutchison (the neurotic mom who babies her kids too much) that Zapf has NEVER, EVER marketed baby born as a potty training doll. they have marketed her as a friend, a sibling-prep doll, a baby doll, but never for potty training. so don't be dissapointed if your baby born doesnt teach potty training. and dont slag her just because youre too lazy to read and folow the instructions and actually TRY to make her work. who wants crappy ugly fat baby tubbles anyway? she sucks.	negative
1	On Time	I received my book on time as I was promised. I would purchase from this source again with no hesitation.	positive
0	Pur Faucet Mount	All I have to say to the people who gave it 5 stars just wait , you will have a waterfall too. Back to the Britta.	negative
1	Bliss for grandmas	I love all the books by Debbie Bliss. Lots of patterns and Ideas. If you love her yarn you will love the books too.	positive
0	large, deep rust proof metal pan and handle	This poop picker upper pan is all aluminum so it won't rust. I leave mine outside near the dogpen year round for easy access. The pan is the largest I've found and it can hold a few days' worth of my boxer's messes. The front edge lays flat and even to get right under piles. Two improvements could be a higher panel on the back side and an ergonomic wrist supportive handle. Due to the size of the pan when its full it can be heavy and a strain on your wrist.	negative
1	Dynamite thriller!	From the get-go, this thriller pulls you in and spins you through the action. The characters are heroic and villainous but steeped in contradictions so that you're not really sure until the final paragraph who should stay and who should be gone!	positive
0	Useless and bulky.	Ordered this so my wife could cut fresh herbs instead of fingertips. Used it once, and the herbs stick to the blades and it doesn't save any time. Come to think if it, what's so safe about this if you have to handle the blades to get your herbs out?It sits in the drawer taking up space while I cut the herbs.	negative
0	One, Two, Three, Cusp! One, Two, Three, Cusp!	The typical foibles & contradictions of personal inter-action...Not on the basis of race, religion or creed, but ASTROLOGICAL Signs!A perfect world would obviously place people with their ideal, in terms of "Marriage", "Friendship", "Sexual Relationships", "Work"...It's a shame, too, that each sign gets broken up into a Type I, II & III, and not to mention the most contradictory mode: the Cusp!While the personalities seem well-researched by the author, how do you really strictly analyze people & their qualities on this kind of a supernatural basis?This book chronicles & coaches whom you are most compatible when choosing your co-worker, spouse, friend... You may or may not have him/her chosen for you, no matter how much you want the actual relationship to work... But good luck finding!	negative
1	Ouija boards....why bann them?	Ouija boards.....they can and may result in Demon followers....spirits have a opening to stay attached to you and any others who participate in Ouija....they can stay there forever unless you cast a spell to drive them away...or get a exorsist....I advise you! AFTER USING A OUIJA BOARD ALWAYS MOVE THE POINTER TO GOOD BYE.... other wise u leave open an even BIGGER door for the spirits to squeeze through....BEWARE!!!!!!	positive
1	Hillsong - Shout to the Lord	Very good CD, as you may already know. Good songs to sing as worship at your church.	positive
0	There's a reason you've never heard of it.	Poorly written, filmed, and acted, The Living and the Dead is a disjointed mess. It's barely watchable.	negative
1	Great, great, great!!	I think Ms. Lowell will always be one of my favorite authors. Both her first book, (WHEN THE STORM BREAKS) and this book, are the best well-written romantic suspense novels, in my opinion. I like her books because they are detailed with excellent plots and strong lead characters. As you read, you can't put them down and Ms Lowell gives her books just the right amount of chapters, to keep you enthralled for more than a day or two. I loved it, and I can't wait for the next book.	positive
1	Yummy afternoon treat and a way to avoid the office snack bar	These bars are a bit strong with artificial sweetners - they try to hard. However, they are a great alternative to hitting the office snack bar. I used to satisfy my afternoon craving with snack bar sweets and now I eat one of these and avoid the sugar.	positive
1	The book	An excellent discussion on theoretical and practical uses of serum protein electrophoresis.	positive
1	George Petrossi	Such a balance in sound, and such a perfection in interpretation. Theinstrument in the skilful hands of Moazen turnes to a living beeing able to express the most hidden and pure emotions of artists rising from different cultural eras. The Flamenco is as lively and exact as the Indian music inspired Latin tunes, or the modern pieces. And when it comes to the guitarist's own compositions, one can absolutely feel the mystical soul of Iranian music. Here guitar finds allit's values.George Petrossi from Chicago	positive
1	Wow!	I was not sure what to think of this product when I saw it. It was rather inexpensive. Thought I would try it just because of the price. It works wonderfully! Only issue I have with it is the battery housing pops out of place too frequently. Have to micro-inch the housing back into place to get it to work sometimes.	positive
0	Adequate	I bought a pair because I owned a previous version of the Kumasi. This one's a step down in construction, fit and materials.	negative
0	doesn't work well on Kindle, especially Kindle 2	On my Kindle, I don't know how to get beyond the introduction and to the poems. I do next page after next page and just get introduction. Pressing the joy stick right does nothing. There is a brief table of contents at the beginning, but Early Poems and Poems are not selectable. Of course, I can go to a high-numbered location, but I have no sensible way to choose the number. In addition, since the introduction was formatted for the Kindle DX, the lines run over on the Kindle 2.Of course if you know Hopkins, you can do a search on a word or two. The only word I knew to search for was "dappled". This led me to the poem I was looking for, and I enjoyed it and the next few poems. The poems fit on the page quite well.On reconsideration, I wanted to change my rating from one to three stars, but Amazon wouldn't let me.	negative
0	Poor Excuse for speaker Wire	I have a Bose system and needed the RCA audio plugs and the split wire to hook up my speakers. When I opened up the box, I was surprised to find the wire was so thin. I've never seen wire this small before for speakers. I'm not happy at all with this product and wish they had actually put the wire guage in the details. Now I know why it was so cheap.	negative
1	Class of it's own	If you want style, sophistication, quality you want this watch.Movado have made an exceptional time piece.	positive
1	Most Recent Screenshots look Impressive	Don't be fooled by the screenshots here on Amazon. They were posted almost a year ago. I saw some recent screenshots of the game on a gaming portal and the screens look beautiful! A lot of added particle effects and added detail to the game. I'm excited to get my copy. Lucasarts did a great job with Starfighter so I'm sure Super Bombad will be equally impressive.	positive
1	A great way to teach feelings	This is a really cute book with pictures of kids making faces to reflect emotions. The text is a sing-songy rhyme that is fun to read and easy to remember. My one year old loved it because of the other kids in it and because he could look at himself in the mirror at the end. My three year old loved it because he could copy the faces the children are making in the mirror. But the most wonderful thing was that the book was a good starting point to put words to feelings (an extremely difficult task for most young children).	positive
0	saves space, not money	I love the idea behind this product but many of the containers have cracked or broken even though they have received the same treatment as all my other leftover brands. I am dissappointed in their quality. I wish I had spent the money on a different set of containers.	negative
0	POOR MOVIE	THE SEANERY IS POOR AND THE ACTING WAS B LEAVEL THE STORY STUNK LIKE A DAY OLD BAGEL I WOULD NOT RECOMND IT	negative
0	What went wrong?	I've listened to this album at least once a day since its release a few weeks ago waiting for that moment when it grows on me. The last two QOTSA albums, particularly last, grew on me instantly and I couldn't stop listening to it. This one is not a rock album in my opinion. It's not 'cool'. Its certainly not catchy like the others are. I never once found myself singing along with Josh enjoying myself. The guitars are repetitive and thin. The drummer sounds like he was drunk for part of the recording. In fact, I find the majority of the tracks on this album to be annoying. So Im left with the question, what happened? I'll more than likely buy their next album hoping for a gem, but this lump of coal spend a lot of time on the shelf. Sad.	negative
0	Gak. . .	I've been reading S.K. since 1980: I'm pretty well acquainted with his writing. Sooo. . .This book is really, really bad. The story is SO absurd (WHERE the creatures came from had to be the lowest and most perverse idea S.K. had ever had); I hated every character (wanted them ALL to die after the first few chapters)and the story itself was plodding (it took the characters about a thousand pages to travel from Point A to Point B).This was a book written just to get something new on the shelves.I was very disappointed. I can see the book on my shelf with the bookmark about fifty pages from the end; can't bring myself to finish it.I'm warning everyone away from this one.	negative
0	Deplorable (...)	A further proof of the dumbing down of our society are this entire series. It is a shame and a disgrace that ever such as these were needed. For those who can't follow the text I suggest you get the Folger series. The only real problem with understanding Shakespeare would be the ancronistic words. The Folger series, in fact most editions of Shakespeare, provide notes explaining those words. Shakespeare is poetry. Changing the words to "modern" english is as futile as rewriting Robert Frost. It is pathetic.	negative
0	Disappointed very Dissappointed	This thing smells like sweet candy. It is not even close to the citris I wanted. Spray it a bit too much and you will get sick it. I almost threw it away. It was good enough to use all of the product but not to buy again. I wanted citris scent not citris candy. Dissapointed after the first spray...	negative
0	Don't believe the hype.	What a disappointment this was. Sure, there are a few good songs (Moscow Snow, She's Jive, Hey Little, and maybe Stick with It). Those 4 are somewhat Shins styled songs and are fairly good. But, the rest is just dreck. The second half of this cd has 4 songs (Product, Playful Partner, Cards, and Candy Arse) that I defy anyone to say anything good about. I'm always mystified at groups who obviously know how to write decent songs, but for reasons unknown choose not to.	negative
1	fun	fun, can be difficult at times but lots of fun in couch co-op mode. would recommend playing with a friend.campaign is like 5 hours with 2 bonus missions to download for free, so like 6-6 and a half hours of entertainment.	positive
0	Only for school-use.	A few months ago we started to read this novel in our English-class. When I read the title first I have expected that it will be boring. But I've changed my opinion after reading. Well, it's not a thriller and a tension doesn't really exist but it's easy to understand and okay for German pupils. The only reason to finish the book is to know the relationship between the two main characters after the birth of their child. Some situations are quite interesting but unfortunately all action takes place in the thoughts of the persons. The book is not very amusing because unwanted pregnancy is a serious theme.	negative
1	Great little kettle	This is a great little kettle. The only reason it didn't get 5 stars is because it is much smaller than I thought it would be. Although the description states how much it can hold, for what it was priced, I thought it would be larger. Other than that, it works great, the handle stays up and in place, the lid stays in place when you pour and the water gets hot/boiling quite fast. It is also very lightweight so if you are looking for a one or two person lightweight kettle for backcountry camping, this one would be perfect.	positive
0	totally dissmissed!	This book isn't in any way worth the money. The examples are aweful, i could not sell such stuff to any customer! The finest thing of the book is the bookdesign and the included photographies. If only they were done in lightwave. Mr. Ablan is not a master of lightwave but a master on making money with books about lightwave !!!Its better to invest your money on any traditional book about art or architecture or anatomy !...	negative
1	Senseo rule	just what the doctor ordered. My wife truly enjoys the taste and they work perfectly with our Hamilton coffee maker	positive
1	Get blown away	I normally write in depth reviews to justify an albums worth. But this album needs very little justification, all it needs is to be heard for any justification."The Riverboat Song", "The Day We Caught The Train", "The Circle" and "You've Got It Bad" all of them singles are reason enough for this albums status as the fan favourite. But "Fleeting Mind", "One For The Road", "It's My Shadow", "The Downstream" and "Get Away" backs the claim up even more.Not forgetting "40 Past Midnight", "Policemen & Pirates" and the gorgeous "Lining Your Pockets".Every song is a classic OCS song. On a classic album. It's worth it based solely on the singles, but to get 8 songs that are equally as commercial as the singles and also as well written and recorded I would jump on this album quickly!	positive
1	Do You Want This Book?	Dr. Harley does a good job with this general study. Too general I might add. His conclusions are correct but "Becoming One" by Joe Beam is a far superior study.	positive

1	Great showerhead for the money	I live in a rental property and the showerheads that the landlord has are not the best. The Waterpik is great has a wide downpour of rain and is invigorating in the mornings. I also like the fact that you can switch to a higher pressure setting	positive
0	Terrible, complete garbage	I have never made a bad review of something, but I thought I would have to do one for this. I just played an hour of dead rising, when you aim, it doesnt look down where you crosshair is, it goes where your charector is facing, there is 1 save function by sleeping in a bed and you only get that chance like once every 3 levels, when a zombie somehow attacks you, theres no prompt to hit buttons to break free, than you die and start back 3 levels. That was the stupidest hour of my life. Also, there is no audio when characters speak, just subtitles. They didn't have a big enough budget for sound actors! This game was crap, 'nuff said.	negative
0	Very Irritating	The beginning of the book was slow and it continued through the whole book. The heroine was weak and very childish. The hero was deliberately annoying to her and immature. He was also a control freak. They never agreed on anything (out loud) and they never had any serious conversations long enough to learn about each other. The reader knew the characters but the characters didn't know each other.	negative
1	good series	I liked it. But I find myself liking the first in the series best. The plot line jumped around quite a bit.	positive
1	I like it!	I like this album. It is a little pop, a little jazz and a little I-don't-know-what. Nothing spectacular but easy listening for the end of a long, sucky day.	positive
0	795 pages of filler	I understand that when writing a series there is some pressure from the publisher to get the next one out.I have read literally hundreds of fantasy novels and this rates as the worst one to date. I love the Wheel of time series but have never read a book that spent so much time describing the minuture of meaningless detail that fills at least half of the pages of this book.If you are looking for anything about the central character Rand then expect to see about four pages worth. This book could have easily been condensed into two chapters and filled out with a lot more interesting writing. You could skip this book and probably not notice it when book eleven comes out.	negative

1	ONE BAD SONG !!!!!	I wish someone would get it through the ROLLING STONES...."heads"... that the song (UNDERCOVER OF THE NIGHT), is not a "HIT" song. In fact, it is one of there most stupid, terrible songs ...EVER. WHY, it is on every hits album...I don't know. BUT. Replace it with "SHE'S SO COLD ", and then you got a REAL hit. Which is never on the hits albums. Which is a MAJOR dissapointment every time the STONES release a hits CD. Just ask all there real fans.........they'll agree with me.	positive
1	A Note on Censorship	It's been a while since I read this, but I remember all of the stories being pretty good. I'm only weighing in here to point out that it was Stephen King himself who censored this book. In a speech to a library association, which you can read at , King states that after his book (specifically the story called "The Rage") had been mentioned in connection with 2 school shootings, and the FBI requested an interview with King, he called his publisher and asked them to take it out of print. While this is unfortunate censorship that King may have been driven to, he ultimately censored himself.	positive
0	Incorrect Parts	I just received this item in the mail and we were very excited to get it all set up. Unfortunately, the parts didn't all fit together. Practically nothing lined up for part "C", i.e. the shelf part that tops the box but isn't the top part. Literally, the holes & grooves simply didn't line up. We called the customer service number and haven't heard back from them. I don't want to send the whole thing back, but I might have to if they don't respond & send us a replacement part! I saw a complaint about this earlier, but figured they had this straightened out by now. I cannot recommend this product.	negative

1	Baroque on steroids	I agree with crashgordon -- the sour review is off-topic.Joe Stump is a true master of shred metal guitar. He's incredibly clean and fast (wish I could play sweeps like that!), with that fat pumping Metallica bass we all love. This CD is full of fine baroque harmonies entwined with gonzo shred.Bach on steroids gone Goth. Very fine.	positive
0	OK, but not nearly as good as the first 5 books.	This book was a bit of a disappointment. The first 5 focus on how a 20th century man fares in 13th Century poland. About 90% of this book focuses on how a 13th century Polish peasant fares in the new world created by the 20th century man. After loving the first 5, I found it difficult to care about this new character foisted upon us.Perhaps the part that bugged me the most was about the explorers contaminating the natives with disease. The series has established that Lord Conrad was an extremely well educated man who had even written manuals on sanitation. Any school kid knows the Europeans wiped out many people in the New World with diseases that hadn't existed there. Yet he seemed shocked and was ready to wall of Europe to prevent the same thing from happening to the Europeans. Hence the previously mentioned magical ending.Let's hope book 7 returns to the main character of Conrad	negative
0	The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra	Zero stars, actually. My new candidate for the-worst-movie-ever-made-by people-who-should-know-better. All the elements are there for a '50's sci-fi spoof. However, the script is a disaster. Like a bad SNL skit, the jokes go on way too long and are beaten to death (as if the audience didn't get them the first time). There are only two ways to do this right: Be very true to the genre, and A) have really bad amateur actors do a straight script; or, B) do a satire and have skilled actors who are really good at playing bad actors! This movie does netiher, and manages to be an insult to both fans of satire and lovers of so-bad-it's-good sci-fi.	negative
0	VERY DISAPPOINTING	The product, CATCH STICK-UMS, that they sent was not even made by Spaulding as advertised but rather Halex, a cheaper brand.

1	Is it me?	I think its on tracks 4 and 5 that it sounds like the same song being played over. Don't get me wrong I love the beautiful music, and the sounds are out of this universe, but whenever i listen to this c.d. and I hear the start of track 5, its like deja vu. I might of not even noticed if it was spread out, but its right after another. Other than that little nit pick, this music is a gorgeous twist on already beautiful music.

0	DON'T ORDER THIS FROM AMAZON!!!!	Unless you want to wait over a month to get your product, don't bother placing an order for the Riedel Vinum Martini glasses through Amazon.

I will come back with a review of them as soon as I receive them, but please keep in mind it might not be until 2004...	negative
1	best screenplays have more stability	One of the few recent films that I anticipated to be good and it exceeded my expectations.Sir Ian McKellen once again performs well. The real surprise here is Brendan Fraser. Thanks to Bill Condon's amazing screenplay, Fraser is study of expressive and innocent contrast to McKellen's anguished and self-defeated character. Make a point to get this one. Best screenplays consist of strong dialogue, pacing, and narrative. The Oscars are usually accurrate about that.	positive
0	honda repair manual	this manual is not as well written as with the Haynes manuals, so it was rather useless as a repair manual, my recommendation is to always find a Haynes manual, too bad Chilton bought out Haynes, this particular manual is junk, don't buy it, I have 4 repair manuals for my 1988 Honda Accord LXi, I use all 4, but the best is the Shop Manual, second best is a Haynes manual, and the Chilton manuals are no good, especially for in depth work.	negative
0	Too short to be worth much...	This book is really a booklet, a tiny little document with 20 small pages of text. Though the information that it contains is good, there is so little that it is of negligible value. A few pages of simple text prevent Blue from engaging in any thoughtful depth. Rather, he throws out a few general concepts (debt is bad, buying expensive cars is bad, etc.) that should be common-sense. This might be a decent place to start for someone with virtually no understanding of basic financial principles, but even such a person will soon need to move on to something much more substantial.	negative
1	Good for beginners	I loved this videos for the first six weeks after I purchased it. I saw a very visible change in fat deposition, muscle contours, and definition. Unfortunately, after about 6 weeks the video became too easy. The video is still really great for a quick workout if I don't have time to do one of my other videos, but I don't rely on it for a complete workout.	positive
1	Ultimate fan of Ultimate Gospel!	I absolutely could not be more pleased with this CD. The remarkable flair that is totally unique to Elvis is definitely a part of this type of music he loved to perform. Even if you are not a Gospel fan, you simply can not help tapping your foot, or being moved in some way while listening to this CD. None equal.	positive
1	Radio Gospel	These are great songs, even if you don't like country music. The Statler Brothers sing in perfect four-part harmony, and they put fun in their message. This is sing-along and feel good music. If you play guitar, these songs are nearly all simple to learn.	positive
0	Too many errors for a beginner	This book was my first foray into the world of Linux and I found too many errors for this to be a good start for a newbie. Case in point is Chapter 20 on ipchains. The sample firewall script is inclomplete (missing a definition of $ME in the constants section) and contains basic errors (such as showing an option as "-I" when it should be "-i"). Most galling is the publisher's website. There is no section on errata to undo some of the mistakes that made it into print. Moreover, unless your web browser supports vbscript the web site will not load. It requires dissecting the start page source to find a way into the site.Buy the book for the disks, but expect to spend some time extricting yourself from the mistakes in it if you follow all the author's examples.	negative
1	Let the good times roll	I love this book because I know the author. It's like having the best time of your life documented. Who could ask for more? Parties at a fabulous Spanish style villa in South Florida, drag queens, sexy gay models, alot of after parties, drama, mystery, and murder!	positive
1	Inspiration for everyone who wants to see kids succeed	I picked up this book at the local library, simply because I'm in my third year of college as an elementary education major, and I like to read all I can about education. Rest assured, this book will be inspirational for all young teachers out there who are scared and nervous. In "There Are No Shortcuts," I finally got to read positive things about teachers. This is definitely not a "how-to book," but I don't think it's intended to be. This book is meant to inspire parents who want to help their children succeed. It is meant for teachers who have to deal with so many headaches that teaching may not seem worth it. I found this to be a quick read, and I would highly recommend it.	positive
0	Stay Away	I purchased this for my wife to begin her sewing escapade. She used it for a few times and it ended up breaking...unfortunately, when it broke, it was after the warranty was already expired.

I thought I was imagining that they were smaller until I read the reviews. Apparently, I am not the only one disappointed. Thank you, Amazon for those reviews! Wish I would have read them before I bought this old favorite. They were much smaller and no longer leather. What a shame...Reebok is no longer a trusted name to me. I will now read the reviews before I buy an old standby order....things change and not for the better. Hope Reebok reads these reviews too!	negative
0	The trend is dead...	It's only natural that after the success captured with Staind's overrated breakthrough album "Break the Cycle" that the band would continue the same formula with their new album "14 Shades of Grey". While I find this album not as irritating as their last (to a point), Aaron Lewis' lyrics are cliche and predictable most of the time. The song worth noting however is "Layne", the band's tribute to late Alice in Chains frontman Layne Staley, and while the band's good intentions aren't in question, the song seems too rushed, but it's merits have heart. The band as a whole sound much better than they did on "Break the Cycle", now and then there are snipets of the musicianship from Staind's original debut "Tormented", but musically speaking this is the same old tried and true downtuned guitars and incosistent rhythm section. All in all, "14 Shades of Grey" is better than expected, but I'll take the real deal, Alice in Chains, over this any day.	negative

Not as good as I expected it will be

Ever since it hit pay dirt with "Ghost" back in the summer of 1990, Hollywood has been fascinated with tales about dead people attemping to contact their grieving loved ones from beyond the grave. The latest varitation on the theme, afilm called 'Dragonfly' turns out to be one of the sappiest entries in the genre. This movie was truly bad with bad actors and a bad storytelling. The reason I give this movie 2 stars is, because the showdown is great.

Awful

I bought this book and disliked it so much that it was the one and only book I have ever returned to Amazon. It was terribly dated which would have been acceptable if the content was there but it wasn't. Save some money AND get what you're looking for in Color Drawing: Design Drawing Skills and Techniques for Architects, Landscape Architects, and Interior Designers by Michael E. Doyle. That's what I replaced it with and I love it!

Okay but not great

I was looking forward to using this item after I had my baby this past January (c section) but was somewhat dissapointed when I received it. It creases in the middle just after the first use. It is somewhat uncomfortable and bulky, but for $15 dollars what do you expect? I have a long torso and would have perferred something with more coverage and control. If you are looking for something of higher quality and comfort I wouldn't buy this product.

No essence, no plot, boring story that drags on and on...

First time I read an Archer book, after my friend recommended him, so I began reading as it promised to have a good plot, about two twin brothers separated at birth.But the story drags on and on, there is literally pages and pages of it, you keep hoping that soon you will arrive at the exciting part, but never happens, there is no story in my opinion. If anything exciting does happen, it soon resolves itself with a GOOD outcome! What??In the end I got so bored waiting to read interesting stuff, I didn't even finish the book, I read about 3 quarters then abandoned it.Im afraid I will not be buying another Jeffrey Archer book, even though other might be better.Sorry...

The Shania and Mutt show goes on

It is a well-known fact that Shania and Mutt write and produce the majority of the material she performs. Come On Over is no exception.I personally love Shania's ballads. "You're Still the One", "From This Moment" (with Bryan White), and "You've Got A Way" are all great cuddle songs.I like to pop the CD in my car and roll the windows down for the first four cuts, they are all upbeat, very singable songs, as are "Honey I'm Home", "That Don't Impress Me Much", and "Rock This Country".Come On Over is good, a little over-produced at times, but Shania's powerful voice shines through.

I think he's cute in my opinion and i have pictures of him all over my room. im trying to buy COTC 3 but i cant find it.

A Zona Rosa member's view of Daniell's book...

Rosemary Daniell's new book gives writing tips but also outlinesthe wisdom she had gleaned from meeting obstacles in her own path and helping others deal with their inner demons. Her book is a memoir about Zona Rosa and the many members who share their lives in writing and conversation. In her book, she takes the reader inside the pink zone where talented writers receiveadvice, share comradery, and have fun. Daniell encourages writers to leave their fears at the doorstep. She helps writers confront painful memories and come to terms with their own creativity.I've been a Zona Rosa member for eight years and Daniell's creative nurturing her extraordinary ability as a writing coach and as a relentless taskmaster helped me reach a seemingly unattainable goal. My recently published novel, Row Away From the Rocks,is now on the market. Daniell's book outlines how other writers can also realize their own fantasy.

A 'regular guy' astronauts biography

Okay- I have almost all the astronauts biographies and so called auto- biographies.It is hard to impress me, most of the time they are over the top and you can feel the air whipping thru their scarves. Not true or impressive. But when I opened this 128 page book, my first impression was "Hmmm, thin?"But upon reading this I was impressed. Captain Scott, who flew twice in space has done a great job -HIMSELF -in writing and telling the story of the contempoary astronaut experience. From building model airplanes and watching 'Sky King' to flying the Navy's F-14 Tomcat, becoming a NASA mission specialist and walking in space,This is a great book.A quick read, and more importantly- a fun one.You will enjoy this one.

More a question (or 2) than a review...

I just watched the trailer for 'Monsters' and have to ask those who have seen the whole movie. I have a Mac Book Pro, and I don't know if that made the difference, but every few moments the trailer hung while more of it was loaded. If I stream this with my computer, is the whole movie going to be like that? Also, I went to the theatre to see 'Cloverfield' with a friend, and we were so disappointed with it we complained to the manager about it, and he was nice enough to give us 2 passes to see a different movie. One comment I saw in these reviews is that you don't really see much of the monsters til the very end, and even then it wasn't much. That sounded a bit like our experience with 'Cloverfield,'so I was wondering if 'Monsters' was really going to be as bad. Any thoughts you can share with me? Thanks!

Definitly not Zeppelin

As the album says in its liner, this was a singer trying to break his way into the recording business with the help of a couple friends. His friends happened to be JPJ and Jimmy Page. This is a technique that labels used in the sixties to get new artists on the charts: billing the stars who helps on the album, but who aren't the featured performers. Overall I really didn't like the music, but I don't really like 50's rock-a-billy to begin with. If you enjoy it, then by all means go for it.

Full Dress Gray by Lucian Truscott, IV

This work represents my first read of Lucian Truscott, IV. I must say that I was impressed enough to go out and purchase Full Dress Gray's prequel, "Dress Gray." Ry Slaight, the book's protagonist is everything I look for in a story: A person of principle; Upstanding, yet real. As for the story itself, it gives the reader an insider's look at a military school and it's rules and codes, written and unwritten. I was reminded of Pat Conroy's book, "The Lords of Discipline. This book combines an intriguing setting mixed with a dash of suspense that will keep the reader turning pages long over bedtime.

Food Pets Die For: Shocking Facts About Pet Food

Have you glanced at this book. I checked it out at the book store. Honestly she seemed from the thumbing through this book for about 30 minute and to be perfectly honest it seemed to be more of a radical writing a very bios book. I know after thumbing through it- I decided it was a BIG WASTE OF MONEY. This book seemed very similar to another book I had looked at (I forget the name of it since it was a while ago) but that book had something to do with I became a vegitarian and will not eat meat. Seems that Ms. Martin would rather write a title with a shocking factor and then write a very bias story. Yes, you need to research your dog food and decide what is the best dog food to feed your dog, but writing stuff like this seemed to me just a way to get her 15 minutes of claim.I had really hoped this book would of been more about how to determine the good and the bad dog food.

Great for initial learning of instruments...

As a student of Surgical Technology, I need to know all the instruments to hand to the surgeon and assistant. The book is good, but has one shortfall; the pictures are somewhat vague. I mean, that many instruments look alike. The photographs could've been taken to show the curve of many instruments or a macro lens could've been utilized. Still, it's the best book out that I know of to help you learn the instruments.

One Word. "Scope"

I absolutely loved this book. Phillips wrote an amazing debut novel of a modern day 'lost generation.' The characters of 'Prague' hint of the same overtones of searching and self-absorbedness those of as classic Jazz-age novels of Hemmingway and Fitzgeraled. The book is set in Budapest in the early 90's, after the great struggle [and triumph] against Communism. Phillip hints at and guides the reader to seeing that this book could be set in any western European City after the First World WarPhillips has the ability to paint a very broad picture in the [relatively] simple, yet elegant storyline of journalist John Price's search for a sense of self and his place in the world in post-communist central Europe. The only thing that prevents me from given this book 5 stars is prose which wanders and is not always necessary and really slow the book down.

Listen Carefully

I read a couple other reviews where George's vocals came into question on a couple of songs he had penned. Memo to reviewers...this is a George Duke CD. Who can sing lyrics to songs written with more feel for the essence of the song than the actual author? Read the liner notes. The vocals are wonderful!That is like saying hey Dylan...your voice sucks! Man you guys are crazy and if you want pure feel and integrity of the music this CD flows and is a continuation of a long line of wonderful music produced by George Duke and his accomplished professional band of musicians. No packaging, no frills, just pure music.George Duke never gets enough credit. Definitely get this CD, sit back and enjoy! Peace.

This compressor is great. It is fairly quiet and handles multiple nailing tools with ease. The wheels make it convenient to get around (although getting it in the back of a vehicle is a task, this thing is HEAVY!).

1940's for sure

I have to agree with "ren ren" about this book. That is how I also felt about it. Lots of insight into men, which I will use but it does neglect independant women.

A logical view

For what this book has done for me I would give it a 10, but as I read what others have written I feel compelled to give it a 1. The reason I give would normally give it a 10 is not because "It opened my eyes!" or "Finally, a book for 'thinkers'!" No, I would give give it a 10 because it forced me to extract the grievences I had with it onto paper. Ishmael is a book full of poor anologies and skewed logic where benefit comes from being able to view the various inconsistancies, rather than from enlightenment. The reason I rate it at a 1 is because it has closed off many of those who read it. Many of the 10's rage about how Ishmael has changed their way of thinking, which is not a bad thing. However, many use the key word forever, and those who've been truely enlightened know that real knowledge is always open to change. I apologize to any followers of Ishmael I may have offended, but hopefully in offending you I also have presented a few new ideas which you may ponder.

Tastiest "Good Nutrition" Cracker Going

I have been snacking these crackers with nothing on them for years. They are crispy, tasty and simply delicious. My grandchildren (under 10) love them as snacks instead of sweeter things. They are also wonderful with peanut butter, cottage cheese, any regular cheese (cheddar, brie...you name it)or jams or jellies. A great low calorie snack that also happens to be a "good" food. How amazing is that?

This is pretty much a soap opera in the form of a book, nothing interesting, leaves much to be desired. So boring I have yet to finish reading, even after two months.

large, deep rust proof metal pan and handle

This poop picker upper pan is all aluminum so it won't rust. I leave mine outside near the dogpen year round for easy access. The pan is the largest I've found and it can hold a few days' worth of my boxer's messes. The front edge lays flat and even to get right under piles. Two improvements could be a higher panel on the back side and an ergonomic wrist supportive handle. Due to the size of the pan when its full it can be heavy and a strain on your wrist.

The typical foibles & contradictions of personal inter-action...Not on the basis of race, religion or creed, but ASTROLOGICAL Signs!A perfect world would obviously place people with their ideal, in terms of "Marriage", "Friendship", "Sexual Relationships", "Work"...It's a shame, too, that each sign gets broken up into a Type I, II & III, and not to mention the most contradictory mode: the Cusp!While the personalities seem well-researched by the author, how do you really strictly analyze people & their qualities on this kind of a supernatural basis?This book chronicles & coaches whom you are most compatible when choosing your co-worker, spouse, friend... You may or may not have him/her chosen for you, no matter how much you want the actual relationship to work... But good luck finding!

Ouija boards....why bann them?

Ouija boards.....they can and may result in Demon followers....spirits have a opening to stay attached to you and any others who participate in Ouija....they can stay there forever unless you cast a spell to drive them away...or get a exorsist....I advise you! AFTER USING A OUIJA BOARD ALWAYS MOVE THE POINTER TO GOOD BYE.... other wise u leave open an even BIGGER door for the spirits to squeeze through....BEWARE!!!!!!

Great, great, great!!

I think Ms. Lowell will always be one of my favorite authors. Both her first book, (WHEN THE STORM BREAKS) and this book, are the best well-written romantic suspense novels, in my opinion. I like her books because they are detailed with excellent plots and strong lead characters. As you read, you can't put them down and Ms Lowell gives her books just the right amount of chapters, to keep you enthralled for more than a day or two. I loved it, and I can't wait for the next book.

Yummy afternoon treat and a way to avoid the office snack bar

These bars are a bit strong with artificial sweetners - they try to hard. However, they are a great alternative to hitting the office snack bar. I used to satisfy my afternoon craving with snack bar sweets and now I eat one of these and avoid the sugar.

George Petrossi

Such a balance in sound, and such a perfection in interpretation. Theinstrument in the skilful hands of Moazen turnes to a living beeing able to express the most hidden and pure emotions of artists rising from different cultural eras. The Flamenco is as lively and exact as the Indian music inspired Latin tunes, or the modern pieces. And when it comes to the guitarist's own compositions, one can absolutely feel the mystical soul of Iranian music. Here guitar finds allit's values.George Petrossi from Chicago

Wow!

I was not sure what to think of this product when I saw it. It was rather inexpensive. Thought I would try it just because of the price. It works wonderfully! Only issue I have with it is the battery housing pops out of place too frequently. Have to micro-inch the housing back into place to get it to work sometimes.

doesn't work well on Kindle, especially Kindle 2

On my Kindle, I don't know how to get beyond the introduction and to the poems. I do next page after next page and just get introduction. Pressing the joy stick right does nothing. There is a brief table of contents at the beginning, but Early Poems and Poems are not selectable. Of course, I can go to a high-numbered location, but I have no sensible way to choose the number. In addition, since the introduction was formatted for the Kindle DX, the lines run over on the Kindle 2.Of course if you know Hopkins, you can do a search on a word or two. The only word I knew to search for was "dappled". This led me to the poem I was looking for, and I enjoyed it and the next few poems. The poems fit on the page quite well.On reconsideration, I wanted to change my rating from one to three stars, but Amazon wouldn't let me.

Poor Excuse for speaker Wire

I have a Bose system and needed the RCA audio plugs and the split wire to hook up my speakers. When I opened up the box, I was surprised to find the wire was so thin. I've never seen wire this small before for speakers. I'm not happy at all with this product and wish they had actually put the wire guage in the details. Now I know why it was so cheap.

Don't be fooled by the screenshots here on Amazon. They were posted almost a year ago. I saw some recent screenshots of the game on a gaming portal and the screens look beautiful!

A great way to teach feelings

This is a really cute book with pictures of kids making faces to reflect emotions. The text is a sing-songy rhyme that is fun to read and easy to remember. My one year old loved it because of the other kids in it and because he could look at himself in the mirror at the end. My three year old loved it because he could copy the faces the children are making in the mirror. But the most wonderful thing was that the book was a good starting point to put words to feelings (an extremely difficult task for most young children).

What went wrong?

I've listened to this album at least once a day since its release a few weeks ago waiting for that moment when it grows on me. The last two QOTSA albums, particularly last, grew on me instantly and I couldn't stop listening to it. This one is not a rock album in my opinion. It's not 'cool'. Its certainly not catchy like the others are. I never once found myself singing along with Josh enjoying myself. The guitars are repetitive and thin. The drummer sounds like he was drunk for part of the recording. In fact, I find the majority of the tracks on this album to be annoying. So Im left with the question, what happened? I'll more than likely buy their next album hoping for a gem, but this lump of coal spend a lot of time on the shelf. Sad.

Gak. . .

I've been reading S.K. since 1980: I'm pretty well acquainted with his writing. Sooo. . .This book is really, really bad. The story is SO absurd (WHERE the creatures came from had to be the lowest and most perverse idea S.K. had ever had); I hated every character (wanted them ALL to die after the first few chapters)and the story itself was plodding (it took the characters about a thousand pages to travel from Point A to Point B).This was a book written just to get something new on the shelves.I was very disappointed. I can see the book on my shelf with the bookmark about fifty pages from the end; can't bring myself to finish it.I'm warning everyone away from this one.

Deplorable (...)

A further proof of the dumbing down of our society are this entire series. It is a shame and a disgrace that ever such as these were needed. For those who can't follow the text I suggest you get the Folger series. The only real problem with understanding Shakespeare would be the ancronistic words. The Folger series, in fact most editions of Shakespeare, provide notes explaining those words. Shakespeare is poetry. Changing the words to "modern" english is as futile as rewriting Robert Frost. It is pathetic.

Don't believe the hype.

What a disappointment this was. Sure, there are a few good songs (Moscow Snow, She's Jive, Hey Little, and maybe Stick with It). Those 4 are somewhat Shins styled songs and are fairly good. But, the rest is just dreck. The second half of this cd has 4 songs (Product, Playful Partner, Cards, and Candy Arse) that I defy anyone to say anything good about. I'm always mystified at groups who obviously know how to write decent songs, but for reasons unknown choose not to.

Only for school-use.

A few months ago we started to read this novel in our English-class. When I read the title first I have expected that it will be boring. But I've changed my opinion after reading. Well, it's not a thriller and a tension doesn't really exist but it's easy to understand and okay for German pupils. The only reason to finish the book is to know the relationship between the two main characters after the birth of their child. Some situations are quite interesting but unfortunately all action takes place in the thoughts of the persons. The book is not very amusing because unwanted pregnancy is a serious theme.

Great little kettle

This is a great little kettle. The only reason it didn't get 5 stars is because it is much smaller than I thought it would be. Although the description states how much it can hold, for what it was priced, I thought it would be larger. Other than that, it works great, the handle stays up and in place, the lid stays in place when you pour and the water gets hot/boiling quite fast. It is also very lightweight so if you are looking for a one or two person lightweight kettle for backcountry camping, this one would be perfect.

Get blown away

I normally write in depth reviews to justify an albums worth. But this album needs very little justification, all it needs is to be heard for any justification."The Riverboat Song", "The Day We Caught The Train", "The Circle" and "You've Got It Bad" all of them singles are reason enough for this albums status as the fan favourite. But "Fleeting Mind", "One For The Road", "It's My Shadow", "The Downstream" and "Get Away" backs the claim up even more.Not forgetting "40 Past Midnight", "Policemen & Pirates" and the gorgeous "Lining Your Pockets".Every song is a classic OCS song. On a classic album. It's worth it based solely on the singles, but to get 8 songs that are equally as commercial as the singles and also as well written and recorded I would jump on this album quickly!

Terrible, complete garbage

I have never made a bad review of something, but I thought I would have to do one for this. I just played an hour of dead rising, when you aim, it doesnt look down where you crosshair is, it goes where your charector is facing, there is 1 save function by sleeping in a bed and you only get that chance like once every 3 levels, when a zombie somehow attacks you, theres no prompt to hit buttons to break free, than you die and start back 3 levels. That was the stupidest hour of my life. Also, there is no audio when characters speak, just subtitles. They didn't have a big enough budget for sound actors! This game was crap, 'nuff said.

Very Irritating

The beginning of the book was slow and it continued through the whole book. The heroine was weak and very childish. The hero was deliberately annoying to her and immature. He was also a control freak. They never agreed on anything (out loud) and they never had any serious conversations long enough to learn about each other. The reader knew the characters but the characters didn't know each other.

795 pages of filler

I understand that when writing a series there is some pressure from the publisher to get the next one out.I have read literally hundreds of fantasy novels and this rates as the worst one to date. I love the Wheel of time series but have never read a book that spent so much time describing the minuture of meaningless detail that fills at least half of the pages of this book.If you are looking for anything about the central character Rand then expect to see about four pages worth. This book could have easily been condensed into two chapters and filled out with a lot more interesting writing. You could skip this book and probably not notice it when book eleven comes out.

A Note on Censorship

It's been a while since I read this, but I remember all of the stories being pretty good. I'm only weighing in here to point out that it was Stephen King himself who censored this book. In a speech to a library association, which you can read at , King states that after his book (specifically the story called "The Rage") had been mentioned in connection with 2 school shootings, and the FBI requested an interview with King, he called his publisher and asked them to take it out of print. While this is unfortunate censorship that King may have been driven to, he ultimately censored himself.

I just received this item in the mail and we were very excited to get it all set up. Unfortunately, the parts didn't all fit together. Practically nothing lined up for part "C", i.e. the shelf part that tops the box but isn't the top part. Literally, the holes & grooves simply didn't line up. We called the customer service number and haven't heard back from them. I don't want to send the whole thing back, but I might have to if they don't respond & send us a replacement part! I saw a complaint about this earlier, but figured they had this straightened out by now. I cannot recommend this product.

OK, but not nearly as good as the first 5 books.

This book was a bit of a disappointment. The first 5 focus on how a 20th century man fares in 13th Century poland. About 90% of this book focuses on how a 13th century Polish peasant fares in the new world created by the 20th century man. After loving the first 5, I found it difficult to care about this new character foisted upon us.Perhaps the part that bugged me the most was about the explorers contaminating the natives with disease. The series has established that Lord Conrad was an extremely well educated man who had even written manuals on sanitation. Any school kid knows the Europeans wiped out many people in the New World with diseases that hadn't existed there. Yet he seemed shocked and was ready to wall of Europe to prevent the same thing from happening to the Europeans. Hence the previously mentioned magical ending.Let's hope book 7 returns to the main character of Conrad

The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra

Zero stars, actually. My new candidate for the-worst-movie-ever-made-by people-who-should-know-better. All the elements are there for a '50's sci-fi spoof. However, the script is a disaster. Like a bad SNL skit, the jokes go on way too long and are beaten to death (as if the audience didn't get them the first time). There are only two ways to do this right: Be very true to the genre, and A) have really bad amateur actors do a straight script; or, B) do a satire and have skilled actors who are really good at playing bad actors! This movie does netiher, and manages to be an insult to both fans of satire and lovers of so-bad-it's-good sci-fi.

best screenplays have more stability

One of the few recent films that I anticipated to be good and it exceeded my expectations.Sir Ian McKellen once again performs well. The real surprise here is Brendan Fraser. Thanks to Bill Condon's amazing screenplay, Fraser is study of expressive and innocent contrast to McKellen's anguished and self-defeated character. Make a point to get this one. Best screenplays consist of strong dialogue, pacing, and narrative. The Oscars are usually accurrate about that.

Too short to be worth much...

This book is really a booklet, a tiny little document with 20 small pages of text. Though the information that it contains is good, there is so little that it is of negligible value. A few pages of simple text prevent Blue from engaging in any thoughtful depth. Rather, he throws out a few general concepts (debt is bad, buying expensive cars is bad, etc.) that should be common-sense. This might be a decent place to start for someone with virtually no understanding of basic financial principles, but even such a person will soon need to move on to something much more substantial.

Too many errors for a beginner

This book was my first foray into the world of Linux and I found too many errors for this to be a good start for a newbie. Case in point is Chapter 20 on ipchains. The sample firewall script is inclomplete (missing a definition of $ME in the constants section) and contains basic errors (such as showing an option as "-I" when it should be "-i"). Most galling is the publisher's website. There is no section on errata to undo some of the mistakes that made it into print. Moreover, unless your web browser supports vbscript the web site will not load. It requires dissecting the start page source to find a way into the site.Buy the book for the disks, but expect to spend some time extricting yourself from the mistakes in it if you follow all the author's examples.

Inspiration for everyone who wants to see kids succeed

I picked up this book at the local library, simply because I'm in my third year of college as an elementary education major, and I like to read all I can about education. Rest assured, this book will be inspirational for all young teachers out there who are scared and nervous. In "There Are No Shortcuts," I finally got to read positive things about teachers. This is definitely not a "how-to book," but I don't think it's intended to be. This book is meant to inspire parents who want to help their children succeed. It is meant for teachers who have to deal with so many headaches that teaching may not seem worth it. I found this to be a quick read, and I would highly recommend it.

The trend is dead...

It's only natural that after the success captured with Staind's overrated breakthrough album "Break the Cycle" that the band would continue the same formula with their new album "14 Shades of Grey". While I find this album not as irritating as their last (to a point), Aaron Lewis' lyrics are cliche and predictable most of the time. The song worth noting however is "Layne", the band's tribute to late Alice in Chains frontman Layne Staley, and while the band's good intentions aren't in question, the song seems too rushed, but it's merits have heart. The band as a whole sound much better than they did on "Break the Cycle", now and then there are snipets of the musicianship from Staind's original debut "Tormented", but musically speaking this is the same old tried and true downtuned guitars and incosistent rhythm section. All in all, "14 Shades of Grey" is better than expected, but I'll take the real deal, Alice in Chains, over this any day.
