1	Terminator: I'm Back	Very good but is a little lost with story and such. it would be better if we are able to see what arnold really sees. but instead we see wut a human sees which is one of the only let downs. Worth buying in you like Halo but Halo is better.	positive
1	Great cd!	I love jazz and the whole neosoul vibe;so I have to say this is a good album.From other reviews, i've read on here people say "Songs in A minor," is a better album. Pft, yeah right, what are ya'll smoking?"Diary of Alicia Keyes," is ten times better. All the songs just flow so well compared to the last album.I think I liked about three songs from "Songs in A Minor," with this album I like almost all the track.I love the first single, and "Nobody not really," winkLike the other reviewers said, purchase this album if you love real music.I'm out!	positive
0	A Walk Through The Obvious	This book will waste the time of any serious student of business strategy. The author is a journalist, who has put together a long string of news items, in ten categories, to fill this empty book. The result is a pastiche that offers few fresh insights or interesting conclusions. The writing style is glib and unsatisfying.	negative
0	really surprised by the praise of all fans	This review will not endear me to the fans of Blue Cheer, I know - but I would like to enter a different perspective on this record. I've had it (in lp format) for a long time, but never really liked it much. The recording itself is not well produced (it sounds rather muddy) and I don't think the playing itself is that great to start with. A famous song like "Summertime blues" is, while competently performed, not in any way revolutionary or remarkable, and Blue Cheer's own songs aren't really memorable either: "Doctor please" for example is a kind of blues workout that does not stick in the mind as it should.This record may be of historic importance in the sense that it pointed the way for other bands to follow, but I could not help being disappointed.While all Blue Cheer fans will now go for the "no help" button, I hope the other readers will check this record out before buying it.	negative
1	Very good but I should have sized down	These have excellent arch support however, I am a women's 8 1/2 so I ordered 9 and after cutting them down the arch is not in the right place so I recommend sizing down.	positive
0	Towels	Popcorn 3-Piece Kitchen Towel Set, RedThese towels are nice-looking, but I won't buy them again. I use them as kitchen hand towels, and they aren't as thick as I would like. The red towel faded a bit in the first washing.	negative
0	Product arrived damaged and was not usable	dvd's arrived damaged and had to be sent back. The return process was great! I didn't want to order another set for fear they would also be damaged.	negative
1	Great Game!	Both my 3 and 8 year old daughters love to play this together! It's great fun. It works much better if sitting on a hard surface versus carpet.	positive
1	BBC history of WWII	It was a good view, but I don't think I learned anything that I didn't already know! Being a history lover and having a grandfather who was there for the liberation of Auschwitz/Birkenau, I'm thinking I may have seen more photographs that were never printed or published anywhere else. Having said that, I have to say it was worth the money for an exemplary overview of WWII. Thank You! Doug	positive
1	Tear Mender Cement	This product appears to work very well. A little goes a long ways. One 16oz bottle will accomplish a lot of mending. I was mending an old army tent, and the patches seem to have adhered quite nicely. The product is first class, the seller was great to deal with, and shipping was quick.	positive
1	A Gentle Crime Novel	Miriam grace Monfredo's first novel neatly blends the culture of the time with an engaging double murder, though no one makes the connection between the murders at first. Her heroine, Glynis Tyrone, struggles with her role in life as a single working woman during an unforgiving era. Monfredo does an excellent job of weaving social issues into the fiber of the mystery. She does a less masterful job of developing the other characters, who tend to drift into stereotypes. Overall, I recommend this novel as a nice light read.	positive
0	Unlucky to have read it	I was unimpressed with this book. It started off enthralling with her gripping description of the rape. However, after that, the book kind of went downhill. It's just a very drawn out story of how she dealt with her rape, which really it seems, she never did. It was rather boring.	negative
1	High quality at good price	A quality product even the scabbard(which is something I have found companies to skimp on)is of quality.The dirk arrived earlier than originally expected (two days after the order was placed).It was coated in a clean grease and wrapped in plastic to prevent rusting. Upon inspecting the dirk I found it to be of good quality and the details on it are slightly imperfect but I think gives it a character of its own(almost as if it were hand made).for the amount I paid I think it is a very good value for my hard earned money.	positive
0	battery life	The battery life of the battery was less than half straight out of the package. I guess I get what I pay for.	negative
0	horrible!	i purchased this item to use in place of a dresser because it was so cheap. cheap is definately the word for it! it took my husband quite a while to put together. at one point he was ready to throw it across the room! it has sense fallen apart in several places and i have had a hard time trying to snap the parts back in place as well. i can't really move it around at all because i'm afraid something will fall apart if i do. i have stored it in my son's closet and still use the laundry basket. as long as i don't move it, it serves it's purpose except one of the shelves is not snapped together because i can't get it to work. so one shelf is not being used which happens to be one of the wider spaced and more useful ones. it is going to have to work till we can afford a quality dresser but i wouldn't recommend it to anyone else.	negative
1	Excellent Kanji Book!!	I think so highly of this book that I have purchased 4 copies of it. Two for myself (I wore out the first one, because I used it so much doing translation work.) and two other I bought as gifts. This book is great. You can look up Kanji using three methods-either by radical, stroke or its readings. I've using this book for sometime, I am now able locate any kanji character within mere seconds. If you need to translate Japanese or need help learning Kanji this is a great book for you. I own around 40 books on the Japanese language and this is one of my favorites. Highly recommended!	positive
1	grwat look at 3 very important battles.	I find this book so captivating! Hard to but it down. All the basics of the battles of Agincourt, Watterloo, & the Somme located in one neat little package. Three of the most important battles in history. I was drawn in as the English were slaughtered at Agincourt & the Somme(poor pals battalions wiped out), & of course Napolean meeting his Watterloo & being put in his place. Fantastic book. A good book to add to your military history collection.	positive
1	Splendid biography of the great war poet, hero and sportsman	The biography is artfully crafted with an entertaining balance between story and documentation. I found the level of detail fascinating and not at all constraining, very much like enjoying following brushstrokes in an impressionist landscape. The book broadened and deepened my appreciation of the man, the times, the War and the literary and cultural environment of the first two decades of 20th century Britain.If Ms Wilson follows with further volumes of Sassoons biography, count me in as an enthusiastic reader!	positive
1	Lovin it!	I remember when I purchased the single "Fakin Jax", I couldnt wait till the album came out and to my disbelief they werent releasing it I was crushed! This was in the 90's. When I saw it on Amazon as a release of the whole album, I jumped on it. Classic material, best believe people. Its actually a double CD with InI and Deeda's album.	positive
1	Super saver. Great product.	Had 512mb and speed up my computer just by adding ram. Works great. Thanks for the great savings compared to other sites.	positive
1	Pandora...finally revealed	Anne Rice continues to tell the stories of her vampire characters in great detail. I can't wait to get started on the next one. The story of Pandora (which takes place right after `Memnoch the Devil' and before `The Vampire Armand') is an interesting one. Pandora's Roman heritage is fascinating as she deals with the ancient Marius, who has now become just as interesting as Lestat in many ways. The fledging David Talbot seeks to record Pandora's story as to how she became a vampire and her life before it. The story is fun and exciting, like most of Rice's vampire novels are, and we really get a sense of who this woman is. Pandora was not used much in the other novels and is somewhat of a mystery, until now.	positive
0	Bye Bye Bad Movie	Ugh! I know I shouldn't compare this to the 1963 movie, but [this] "Bye Bye Birdie" is inferior to the 1963 "Bye Bye Birdie" of the same name. The older movie has more spunk, character and better singing (Van Dyke, Margret, Rydell and yes, Paul Lynde & Pearson). The actors projected more fun on the screen in the older movie than this one. Arrrgh - Chynna Phillips singing.	negative
1	i found this to be a great book	this book was overall a great book i enjoyed reading it!!!! and i have a baby myself her name is holly i can toatlly relate to what she went thorugh.....a great book to read!!!!	positive
1	Music's Best Album	There is no band anywhere who could make an album this good. No doubt it is the greatest album EVER! If you don't own this album you don't know great music.	positive
0	Useless when light fails on first use...	The projector bulb lasted less than five minutes on our projector received as a Christmas present.Thus far (in March) neither Crayola or their OEM manufacturer Polyconcept USA has responded to support querries made soon after the failure, though both their websites acknowledge the problem.	negative
0	uninspired and mistitled	This is mainly an uninspired rehash ofundergraduate algebra. With all the textsalready on the market this one doesn't offer muchin the way of novelty. Additionally there areoccasional infelicities in the translationfrom russian.	negative
0	Recommendation: Read the book	As a huge fan of the novel, I was initially excited to see this film on DVD. However, I was very disappointed with this film for a couple of reasons. First, the adaption kept certain scenes for entertainment purposes, while disregarding scenes in the novel that were more key to the overall story. Secondly, many of the characters in the movie seem so one-dimensional.I would recommend anyone interested in the movie to just read the book.	negative
1	Impressive in revealing the human evil	I read the Dutch translation and I was very impressed and at the same time terrified by having two apparant contrary concepts: horror and respect so closely related.Good and bad can be seperated and judged very easily if they don't occur at the same time. In this book that border isn't that clear at all. That border meanders and makes the book extremely interesting, because my own reality is being questioned. I love it.	positive
0	Don't buy from Designer Shops!!! FAKE Light Blue	What a rip off!!! The scent goes away after 10 minutes. The box it came with is a regular carton instead of the velvety box the original comes with. The silver colored part of the bottle came off after a day. I bought an original from a reputable web store and was finally satisfied. DON'T BUY FROM THIS SELLER!!! AMAZON check this seller and ban it! This ruins my amazon experience. We need trustworthy sellers.	negative
0	Old classic in a safe form	Of the numerous editions of The Jungle that are in print, this version is reasonably good and presented in a scholarly form. However, this version of The Jungle is not the original form. It has been drastically cut in length, with much of the slaughterhouse gore removed and the ethnic material cut way back. Readers would be better to get the "Uncensored" verion of the novel put out by See Sharp Press.	negative
0	A disappointed Bill Murray fan	What did I miss in this movie that the critics thought so highly of it? This movie was like watching two people wandering across a desert dying of thirst! This movie proves that critics have as much credibility as weather forcasters. This movie stunk, rent the Care Bears instead!	negative
0	I don't recommend	I purchased the shampoo and conditioner after reading the good reviews on amazon. These were a total disappointment. They both smell great, but they do nothing for the hair. My hair felt dry and brittle. It also left my hair tangled and difficult to brush. I would not recommend these.	negative
1	a fast and accurate resource	With everything else that I already have on my plate (husband, kids, job and elderly parents), I don't have any extra time to sit down and read books - especially when I am only interested in finding answers to my eldercare situation. And that's exactly what I found with this book - fast, easy to understand, precise answers for my particular situation. I went to the bookstores and looked over the other eldercare books but they were too long and involved - some including stories that I could not relate to. I just wanted to know what to do for my family eldercare problems and I didn't want to have to read a thick book. I'm happy I chose this book over the other ones and I highly recommend it to every family.	positive
1	HOW MUCH DO YOU BENCH?	Boogie Nights is one of those quirky, yet satisfying movies that tend to sit in your DVD collection for a while until you feel the "urge" to watch it. It's like eating a White Castle hamburger. It's not something you'd want to do every day, but when you do, it's heaven.This movie is set in 1977 California, in the age when disco was king, sex was safe, and condoms were for sailors. The entire movie just feels like it was filmed at that point in time. This is one of those movies that people either love or hate. I myself find this to be one of the best movies that came out of the 90's.	positive
1	fun!	These shoes are sexy and comfortable. For sure fun for your special someone. I got them right on time and they were even hotter in person. I think they make legs and feet look better than other HIGH HIGH heels I have bought before.	positive
1	Great Historic Book	This was a wonderful book to read to get the facts on the Australian migration from England. I highly recommend it.	positive
0	Same ole, same ole	The sexual exploits of an alchoholic undertaker are the focus of all of Tim Cockney's Hitchcock Sewell mystery novels. All one has to do if interested in any kind of mystery/murder storyline is to skip to the last 6 or so pages and read the plot synopsis ala Agatha Christe. The rest of the book is fluff.	negative
0	A waste of money	Maybe these would work better for bigger kids. I flew with my 2 year old and 5 year old from Boston to New Zealand and thought these could help as after awhile the engine noise is just too much. They did not fit comfortably in the kids' ears and they didn't stay at all. My kids couldn't stand them.	negative
0	False advertising	I also bought this CD for the songs of "A Boy Named Sue", "Boa Constrictor" and others. However the lists say that disk two has 22 songs. It DOES NOT. There are only 12 AND none of the songs I wanted are on this. I am very upset with Amazon and the manufacturer of the CD for giving/allowing this mis-representation in order to sell a CD. Please refer to the other feedback review. It lists exactly what is on this CD.	negative
0	Not what I expected	I am not happy with the purchase. I intended to use it on top of the stove over the burner. The picture of it makes it appear as if it is one piece of metal, but there are gaping spaces between each roller so the juices will run out and hit the flames. If I'm cooking on the grill I'd rather cook the old fashion way with the hot dog on the grill and getting slightly burned. I don't know of anyone who would "grill" a hot dog on their grill in this manner. I wound up throwing this "gadget" out.	negative
1	Like the product but dissatisfied for unable to get another!	Really like this blender/food processor and would like to buy another one when available.	positive
1	Perfect little toaster oven pan	This pan is perfect for everything. I have used it for cookies, pick foods, french fries, garlic bread, nuggets,frozen pancakes, left overs, chicken, etc. I love it. It is just the right size. It is not real big but that is fine withme. It is perfect for cooking for 2 adults and a toddler. Just the right size. We did get a defective onebut I emailed amazon right away and they shipped us a new one and sent us a shipping label to returnthe damaged one. This is definitely worth buying. And it is so easy to clean. Everything just washes offreal easy. Thanks to all the great reviews I picked another winner.	positive
1	OUTSTANDING	I have read many interracial romance novels in my day but this is the best one that I have read hands down. It is such a powerful story that thankfully did not revolve too much around the race issue. Instead it is a story about a man and a woman in love and the obstacles they face. It is a great read even for those that tend to shy away from interracial romance novels.	positive
0	not a good adapter	caused severe system instability and crashes/data loss. I'm pretty experienced with PCs and mine only acts up when I'm using this adapter.	negative
0	Disappointed	Kodak cx6330 camera was given to me by my family as a Christmas gift. It stopped working after using it three times. At first I thought it was the battery, but after charging it all night the camera still didn't work. Bought a new battery ($14.00), charged it and still the camera did not work. After emailing the Kodak center I was told that the camera needed to be returned.	negative
0	Technically inaccurate and confused	Having been given this book as a must read by my corporation I have to say I expected more than this - the information is presented in a muddled and confused format - meaningless comparisons are made - for instance between HTML and PDF. The overall impression you get on reading this is that the authors have taken a few books on anything they can find internet related - and then attempted to summarise their introductions. If the objective is to supply managers with a meaningful uptodate picture of ecommerce then they fail totally. Useful as a door stopper.	negative
1	Awesomely cool	An amazing movie with Josh Hutcherson. Two younger kids play a game that brings them into space and takes you too.Great to watch on movie nights	positive
0	AWFUL!	What a major bomb of a movie. How can a cast with so much talent produce such an awful movie! How can a movie with Bill Murray and Ben Stiller not make me laugh? Owen Wilson was especially disapointing as "Chaz", the black sheep of an otherwise dysfunctional family. Gene Hackman's recent streak of disapointing movies continued with his awful performance as "Royal", the father of this family of losers. Hackman's recent efforts include Behind Enemy Lines,Heist, and that box office smash Heartbreakers. What actualy was Danny Glover's role in this movie? He was completely out of place in this film. Glover should convince paramount pictures to make Lethal Weapon 4.This way maybe he can save his faltering career. In conclusion, the only positive thing that I can say about this movie is that it ran a little under two hours. Please don't waste your time and money on this movie.	negative
0	Gore Doesn't Equal Good	Sorry but I have to whole heartedly disagree with everyone I didn't find this exciting or really that suspenseful to say the least. They story has been done to death and it's a weak one at that. The photography was great though and the gore was gruesome but that doesn't make this a good horror film. To me it seemed gore for gores sake with no character development or back story. This is the story in a nutshell, couple goes boating, gets stranded and captured by backwoods psychos, husband wimps out, wife goes on violent rampage, they leave. A rental at best. Hoping some of the upcoming films don't disappoint me as much, ie THEM (ILS), Inside, and Frontiere(s).	negative
0	Hardly any dancing instruction	Very dissapointed. More talk than dance and hardly any instruction. Waste of money	negative
1	The best book there is	I think that I've been looking through all of the current books on directory service architecture and planning. And I'm confident that this is the best book there is at present. While two of the 20 chapters in the book do include a few examples that may seem a bit dated due to them being based on RC1, this really doesn't mean anything to anyone, but the people that might be under the false impression that this book also will tell them how to configure and install Windows 2000 Server. Anyway, whatever way you may see things, the 670 pages (which by the way is far more than what you'll find elsewhere) is just what you'll need to understand and plan for Active Directory. So until a better book might come along, I'll keep this one handy.	positive
0	Boring	This game is not fun. If you know the acronym it's asking for, it's too easy. If you don't know, you don't care. I have never played a more boring game (except maybe Ubi).	negative
0	Poorly Written Hype	This is one of the silliest books I've ever read. First, whoever Joyce Reardon is, he/she should research the type of writing a post-Victorian woman would have written before they try to mock-up such a piece of lurid fiction. This book is no better than a Harlequin romance with a couple of paranormal events thrown in. Steven King may have written this, but in that case, he's no better at satire (if that's what he's attempting) than he is at horror fiction. Save your money and your intelligence.	negative
0	We must put an end to Dave Matthews Band!	I simply cannot believe that this group still exists, let alone ever made it onto the radio. First of all, none of its members can sing; their voices sound like nails across a chalkboard. And the songs that they have written are complete nonsense that do not sound good at all. As a musician and lifetime appreciator of music, I find it insulting that anyone would support a group that sounds as awful as Dave Matthews Band. This proves that anyone can throw together a bunch of [...] and not put any thought or effort into it, and it will sell. Come on America, we are not that ignorant!!!	negative
0	Well writen, but incorrect Hawaiian history	This book has some beautiful writing and a decent plot. As someone who grew up in Hawaii during the times when this story takes place I resent that this fiction book presents Hawaiian history in such a biased manner. It was hard for me to enjoy the book knowing that many of the situations were in fact not true and that many readers would believe them to be true Hawaiian history. Remenber the book is fiction!!	negative
1	Jabra Earset	I ordered this for myself on a Monday and received it on a Wednesday. I took it home that night and my mother-in-law loved it! I had to order another one for myself on Thursday morning. This is a great asset to the cell phone user. It's GREAT! It comes with small/med/large ear pieces for the left/right ear and the button in the middle is great because as a call comes in all you have to do is press the button to begin the call and press again to end. I highly recommend this.	positive
1	MUSIC-AT LAST	I was more than pleased with this album. You like a Marching Band? He sounds as such. You like a Classical sound? He sounds as such. You like Dance music? It's here. Even I do not understand Spanish or German, that rendition of "La Paloma" is out of this world. I have loaned this Disc to Four people,(Glenn Miller, James,and Benny Goodman fans, I believe two out of the four ordered from you in the last two weeks. Classical, Country, Listening, or Dancing-this is MUSIC FROM ACROSS THE WAY- and the BEST-AT LAST	positive
0	Spore	Spore is a great game but DRM really contricts you to one computer. My brother wanted to play it but we couldn't install it on the family pc	negative
1	Exquisite! One of my favorite films.	Colin Firth's acting is perfection. Each actor is terrificand acts their part very well. I thought Mr. Collins wasparticularly droll. I'll bet he is just as amusing outsideof the movies and would make a fun and interesting personto invite to a party. If you like Jane Austen, this is thebest.	positive
0	Too good to be true	I had this mill for 2 weeks before it just quit working. It was a pain to clean and it just felt cheap overall. When I took it back to exchange it, I noticed several other returned units behind the counter and the rep told me that this burr mill is returned on a daily basis. I ended up just getting a refund and investing that money into a burr mill that was more expensive. There is a night and day difference with the more expensive mill. It has solid construction, is easy to clean, and best of all, it still works after 2 weeks. Don't let the price of this unit fool you. The motor is just too weak and cheap to be used in a burr mill. Save your money and get a more expensive unit.	negative
0	a Trevanian potboiler without the razor	If you enjoy the fetishization of firearms, the eroticization of violence, and the cheezification of Faulknerian language, this novel is for you. It's Trevanian and Alistair MacLean with lots of italicized homespun wisdom. Macarthy's reputation is puzzling: his dialogue is hokey, his prose is impoverished American modernism (like Faulkner he likes to skip the apostrophe in contractions; like Joyce he eschews quotation marks), his characterizations are utterly uninteresting from a psychological perspective. This is not to say that he does not construct readable books. I gulped this one down right quick. But it's tripe.	negative
0	komedyqueen317@hotmail.com: not impressed	I've heard the same thing over and over again. This cd is not creative and tries to make the same point with every song. Her voice is off-key and computer enhanced. I would say she is on dire need of voice lessons. I hated this album.	negative
0	Shock	This movie is done in very poor taste. I laughed throughout the movie. The only thing that was a shock, was the price that my friend paid for it. There was only one scene worth the price, and that was where the little boy runs towards his mom, and then jumps up as her dead husband. This is the only Shock in the movie. If you want a good suspense, I reccommend an Alfred Hitchcock film. This movie is horrible.	negative
1	Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Destiny: TV Movie 3	If you loved watching the tv series then this will be for you. The tv movies otherwise known in Japan as the special editions have extra footage and alternate takes of how the characters experienced the situations depicted. In this volume the viewer is treated to how Shinn viewed the events and the results of his decisions. For Kira and Athrun fans, taking it from Shinn's vantage point equals less scenes of your favorites so keep that in mind. High and Mighty color provides the ending theme for this Volume this time, so please look forward to it.	positive
1	The Ad Man who was thirty years ahead of his time.	They called him "The Socrates of San Francisco." Howard Luck Gossage had a small advertising agency in a San Francisco firehouse. It was here that Friends of the Earth began - where the world was introduced to Marshall McLuhan. They even did some legendary advertising. Jeff Goodby wrote the intro - Stan Freberg contributed a piece - if you love what advertising could be, you just might like this book.	positive

1	Bedlam a wonderful read	I too hope that those who read the reviews that only gave this book one and two stars will give this wonderful book a chance. For those of us who truly enjoy a very well written book that one has to take the time to read and enjoy,not just rush through for the sake of reading a book, this was one of those books. I found myself reading slowly to enjoy the book longer and loving the way it was written.The story about maddness and being a lunatic in that time period was eye-opening and at times sad and overwhelming to think about. You will feel for the situation of all the parties in the book and the struggles they had to endure.This is a book with lots of history and details written into it so you could feel the fustrations and maddness at times in the situations, maybe Greg Hollingshead had that in mind and those that felt it the most didn't like the effort needed to read the book.	positive
1	Epic comedy for gamers!	I ordered this after watching some content on the creator's website.... and I am 100% happy I made this purchase. It was hilarious!!! Any MMO player (or nerd) will enjoy this and probobly laugh so hard that the tears come.... (like I did).	positive
1	A good read and you learn a little about life in the UK, too	Many of the other reviewers are off base on this one. This is an enjoyable "chick lit" read and you actually learn something as well. While there is a little bit of the typical focus of this genre on the boyfriend/marriage chase, the reader also learns quite a bit about how the landed class live in the UK. I preferred the author's empathy to her charges over the high level of disdain for everyone that is the hallmark of the Nanny Diaries. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and think that the next time I go to the UK I will have a little more appreciation for the country and its people.	positive
1	Excellent and detailed reference	The coverage of the topic is broad and deep. It is one of the few introductory books that devotes some space to transfer function modeling and does so intelligibly.A must have for the novice as well as those more familiar with the topic that need a solid reference.	positive
1	Stone: awesome movie with a bad ending	Parole guy heading toward retirement can't resist young poon of inmate he is reviewing. Takes the poon, struggles with God. Inmate gets out, Heaven's tuning fork, and resumes his life. Parole guy finds no answers, movie ends.	positive
1	Great Tabi	Comfortable. Very strong. Very quiet, excellant for stealth. Great for indoors and outdoors. Grip, however, is not AS strong as expected. But overall, the advantages out-weigh the disadvantages by far. These are good quality Tabi	positive
0	Talk About a Disappointment	My 3 year-old loves My Little Ponies and absolutely BEGGED for this item for Christmas. It was the ONLY thing she requested from Santa. I began putting it together the night before Christmas and what a nightmare!!! It took FOREVER to get it together and then when I moved it under the tree, it fell apart. It was missing parts, parts didn't fit, and all in all it was the worst toy ever. When she saw it under the tree she was excited until she bent down to play with it and the whole thing crumbled!!! DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY!!!!	negative

0	A re-release under a different name?	If you are interested in what the music press has to say about MUSE, knock yourself out. This is not a documentary of the band, nor does it contain interviews or insight into their impressive history. If I wanted the opinion of the music press, I would read the NME. A complete waste of time and money.	negative

1	Cascading Style becomes a Reality	When a developer is in the middle of a project, what is needed is a guidebook that is short, well-written and organized logically. The book must also contain plenty of examples that are specific to the current chapter section, leaving out other confusing cross-references.Cascading Style Sheets by Lie and Bos does all of the above. The book can be read cover-to-cover, or used as a reference as needed. I rarely had to use the index to find a subject, because the chapters are well-named and stick to their subject. This is rare.The authors have exceptional credentials, authoring technical and exacting specifications for CSS. Yet they wrote a book that is clear and understandable for us mere mortals. Every web developer should have a copy.	positive

0	Not one of his best	Typical Laymon-lots of blood, guts and sex-but unlike his other (and longer) books this one lacks the well thought out storyline and instead goes for something that makes the reader think it has been made-up as it goes along. Something the writer wrote to pay his bills. As a devoted Laymon fan, I recommend you try for one of his newer books as they are seeming to get better with time, but if you are a devoted fan like myself you'll need to read this one. It has all the things we love about Laymon with a nice little twist at the end.	negative
1	Good enough to pass	This is the only book I read on switching and I scored 956 out of 1000 on the 640-504. I was, however, fortunate enough to have the equipment to test all of the commands in this book, which helped me remember them. If you don't have the equipment to familiarize yourself with the commands, you'd better come up with a very good memorizing mechanism. I only saw 2-3 questions on the exam not covered in this book. Another 2-3 questions went a little deeper than what the book covered, but this book gives you enough info to make a very good educated guess at the least.	positive

1	Great Robe, Great Price!	When I pulled the robe out of the box I was amazed at the weight! I put it on as soon as I hit the door. It has nice details such as the turned back cuffs being stitched down, you will not have to worry about them flopping into the bathroom sink. Inside ties are sewn into the seams as are the belt loops. I'm a short 5'2" and most robes drag the floor. This one hits just above my ankles - perfect. It's soft and the word that best describes the terry is dense. I priced a lot of robes before picking this one. Similar quality robes sell for up to $100 more! I will probably buy another one and put it away for when I've worn this one to death.	positive
0	A Golden Opportunity Lost!	Given the number of Discoveries and Range Rover Classics in service and the arguably very high percentage of owners who perform their own maintenance, there must exist a very large market for a book which is a collation and presention of maintenance tips and repair methods and which goes beyond the elementary basics, and offers more detail and anecdotal advice than the various workshop manuals. This book, unfortunately, is not it. It wimps out before offering anything other than the barest first steps in many of the repair projects it describes. For example, under the section describing changing the automatic transmission filter, the advice given may be summed up as "Don't". Most every seasoned maintainer has done this task at least once, and those others, who would purchase such a book, would, no doubt, very much like to know what the job entails.The title 'Step by Step' would be better stated as 'Elementary First Steps'. Overall, a bitter disappointment!	negative

0	Not What I Expected	The footbed on these clogs is very comfortable, but buyer beware - the buckles are attached with staples through the suede and come undone very easily (in my case, after two wearings) The seller's return policy is such that once the shoes have been worn outside, they won't take them back. I had to sew the buckles back on. In my opinion, $100 shoes shouldn't need to be repaired after two wearings.The suede is also much darker than the picture - still a pleasant color, but not what I expected when I ordered.	negative

Since I don't know the author and therefore am neither a friend or foe, I decided to find out for myself. Sadly, I agree with the thumbs down set. I have a sneaking suspision that some of these overboard rave reviews are written by the author's friends. This a very slight book. And I regretfully agree that there is far too much in here that is vapid, shallow, and stupid.	negative

I love jazz and the whole neosoul vibe;so I have to say this is a good album.From other reviews, i've read on here people say "Songs in A minor," is a better album. Pft, yeah right, what are ya'll smoking?"Diary of Alicia Keyes," is ten times better. All the songs just flow so well compared to the last album.I think I liked about three songs from "Songs in A Minor," with this album I like almost all the track.I love the first single, and "Nobody not really," *wink*Like the other reviewers said, purchase this album if you love real music.I'm out!

A Walk Through The Obvious

This book will waste the time of any serious student of business strategy. The author is a journalist, who has put together a long string of news items, in ten categories, to fill this empty book. The result is a pastiche that offers few fresh insights or interesting conclusions. The writing style is glib and unsatisfying.

really surprised by the praise of all fans

This review will not endear me to the fans of Blue Cheer, I know - but I would like to enter a different perspective on this record. I've had it (in lp format) for a long time, but never really liked it much. The recording itself is not well produced (it sounds rather muddy) and I don't think the playing itself is that great to start with. A famous song like "Summertime blues" is, while competently performed, not in any way revolutionary or remarkable, and Blue Cheer's own songs aren't really memorable either: "Doctor please" for example is a kind of blues workout that does not stick in the mind as it should.This record may be of historic importance in the sense that it pointed the way for other bands to follow, but I could not help being disappointed.While all Blue Cheer fans will now go for the "no help" button, I hope the other readers will check this record out before buying it.

Having said that, I have to say it was worth the money for an exemplary overview of WWII. Thank You! Doug

A Gentle Crime Novel

Miriam grace Monfredo's first novel neatly blends the culture of the time with an engaging double murder, though no one makes the connection between the murders at first. Her heroine, Glynis Tyrone, struggles with her role in life as a single working woman during an unforgiving era. Monfredo does an excellent job of weaving social issues into the fiber of the mystery. She does a less masterful job of developing the other characters, who tend to drift into stereotypes. Overall, I recommend this novel as a nice light read.

Unlucky to have read it

I was unimpressed with this book. It started off enthralling with her gripping description of the rape. However, after that, the book kind of went downhill. It's just a very drawn out story of how she dealt with her rape, which really it seems, she never did. It was rather boring.

High quality at good price

A quality product even the scabbard(which is something I have found companies to skimp on)is of quality.The dirk arrived earlier than originally expected (two days after the order was placed).It was coated in a clean grease and wrapped in plastic to prevent rusting. Upon inspecting the dirk I found it to be of good quality and the details on it are slightly imperfect but I think gives it a character of its own(almost as if it were hand made).for the amount I paid I think it is a very good value for my hard earned money.

horrible!

i purchased this item to use in place of a dresser because it was so cheap. cheap is definately the word for it! it took my husband quite a while to put together. at one point he was ready to throw it across the room! it has sense fallen apart in several places and i have had a hard time trying to snap the parts back in place as well. i can't really move it around at all because i'm afraid something will fall apart if i do. i have stored it in my son's closet and still use the laundry basket. as long as i don't move it, it serves it's purpose except one of the shelves is not snapped together because i can't get it to work. so one shelf is not being used which happens to be one of the wider spaced and more useful ones. it is going to have to work till we can afford a quality dresser but i wouldn't recommend it to anyone else.

Excellent Kanji Book!!

I think so highly of this book that I have purchased 4 copies of it. Two for myself (I wore out the first one, because I used it so much doing translation work.) and two other I bought as gifts. This book is great. You can look up Kanji using three methods-either by radical, stroke or its readings. I've using this book for sometime, I am now able locate any kanji character within mere seconds. If you need to translate Japanese or need help learning Kanji this is a great book for you. I own around 40 books on the Japanese language and this is one of my favorites. Highly recommended!

grwat look at 3 very important battles.

I find this book so captivating! Hard to but it down. All the basics of the battles of Agincourt, Watterloo, & the Somme located in one neat little package. Three of the most important battles in history. I was drawn in as the English were slaughtered at Agincourt & the Somme(poor pals battalions wiped out), & of course Napolean meeting his Watterloo & being put in his place. Fantastic book. A good book to add to your military history collection.

Splendid biography of the great war poet, hero and sportsman

The biography is artfully crafted with an entertaining balance between story and documentation. I found the level of detail fascinating and not at all constraining, very much like enjoying following brushstrokes in an impressionist landscape. The book broadened and deepened my appreciation of the man, the times, the War and the literary and cultural environment of the first two decades of 20th century Britain.If Ms Wilson follows with further volumes of Sassoons biography, count me in as an enthusiastic reader!

Pandora...finally revealed

Anne Rice continues to tell the stories of her vampire characters in great detail. I can't wait to get started on the next one. The story of Pandora (which takes place right after `Memnoch the Devil' and before `The Vampire Armand') is an interesting one. Pandora's Roman heritage is fascinating as she deals with the ancient Marius, who has now become just as interesting as Lestat in many ways. The fledging David Talbot seeks to record Pandora's story as to how she became a vampire and her life before it. The story is fun and exciting, like most of Rice's vampire novels are, and we really get a sense of who this woman is. Pandora was not used much in the other novels and is somewhat of a mystery, until now.

Recommendation: Read the book

As a huge fan of the novel, I was initially excited to see this film on DVD. However, I was very disappointed with this film for a couple of reasons. First, the adaption kept certain scenes for entertainment purposes, while disregarding scenes in the novel that were more key to the overall story. Secondly, many of the characters in the movie seem so one-dimensional.I would recommend anyone interested in the movie to just read the book.

Impressive in revealing the human evil

I read the Dutch translation and I was very impressed and at the same time terrified by having two apparant contrary concepts: horror and respect so closely related.Good and bad can be seperated and judged very easily if they don't occur at the same time. In this book that border isn't that clear at all. That border meanders and makes the book extremely interesting, because my own reality is being questioned. I love it.

Old classic in a safe form

Of the numerous editions of The Jungle that are in print, this version is reasonably good and presented in a scholarly form. However, this version of The Jungle is not the original form. It has been drastically cut in length, with much of the slaughterhouse gore removed and the ethnic material cut way back. Readers would be better to get the "Uncensored" verion of the novel put out by See Sharp Press.

a fast and accurate resource

With everything else that I already have on my plate (husband, kids, job and elderly parents), I don't have any extra time to sit down and read books - especially when I am only interested in finding answers to my eldercare situation. And that's exactly what I found with this book - fast, easy to understand, precise answers for my particular situation. I went to the bookstores and looked over the other eldercare books but they were too long and involved - some including stories that I could not relate to. I just wanted to know what to do for my family eldercare problems and I didn't want to have to read a thick book. I'm happy I chose this book over the other ones and I highly recommend it to every family.

HOW MUCH DO YOU BENCH?

Boogie Nights is one of those quirky, yet satisfying movies that tend to sit in your DVD collection for a while until you feel the "urge" to watch it. It's like eating a White Castle hamburger. It's not something you'd want to do every day, but when you do, it's heaven.This movie is set in 1977 California, in the age when disco was king, sex was safe, and condoms were for sailors. The entire movie just feels like it was filmed at that point in time. This is one of those movies that people either love or hate. I myself find this to be one of the best movies that came out of the 90's.

The sexual exploits of an alchoholic undertaker are the focus of all of Tim Cockney's Hitchcock Sewell mystery novels.

Not what I expected

I am not happy with the purchase. I intended to use it on top of the stove over the burner. The picture of it makes it appear as if it is one piece of metal, but there are gaping spaces between each roller so the juices will run out and hit the flames. If I'm cooking on the grill I'd rather cook the old fashion way with the hot dog on the grill and getting slightly burned. I don't know of anyone who would "grill" a hot dog on their grill in this manner. I wound up throwing this "gadget" out.

OUTSTANDING

I have read many interracial romance novels in my day but this is the best one that I have read hands down. It is such a powerful story that thankfully did not revolve too much around the race issue. Instead it is a story about a man and a woman in love and the obstacles they face. It is a great read even for those that tend to shy away from interracial romance novels.

Technically inaccurate and confused

Having been given this book as a must read by my corporation I have to say I expected more than this - the information is presented in a muddled and confused format - meaningless comparisons are made - for instance between HTML and PDF. The overall impression you get on reading this is that the authors have taken a few books on anything they can find internet related - and then attempted to summarise their introductions. If the objective is to supply managers with a meaningful uptodate picture of ecommerce then they fail totally. Useful as a door stopper.

AWFUL!

What a major bomb of a movie. How can a cast with so much talent produce such an awful movie! How can a movie with Bill Murray and Ben Stiller not make me laugh? Owen Wilson was especially disapointing as "Chaz", the black sheep of an otherwise dysfunctional family. Gene Hackman's recent streak of disapointing movies continued with his awful performance as "Royal", the father of this family of losers. Hackman's recent efforts include Behind Enemy Lines,Heist, and that box office smash Heartbreakers. What actualy was Danny Glover's role in this movie? He was completely out of place in this film. Glover should convince paramount pictures to make Lethal Weapon 4.This way maybe he can save his faltering career. In conclusion, the only positive thing that I can say about this movie is that it ran a little under two hours. Please don't waste your time and money on this movie.

Gore Doesn't Equal Good

Sorry but I have to whole heartedly disagree with everyone I didn't find this exciting or really that suspenseful to say the least. They story has been done to death and it's a weak one at that. The photography was great though and the gore was gruesome but that doesn't make this a good horror film. To me it seemed gore for gores sake with no character development or back story. This is the story in a nutshell, couple goes boating, gets stranded and captured by backwoods psychos, husband wimps out, wife goes on violent rampage, they leave. A rental at best. Hoping some of the upcoming films don't disappoint me as much, ie THEM (ILS), Inside, and Frontiere(s).

I think that I've been looking through all of the current books on directory service architecture and planning. And I'm confident that this is the best book there is at present. While two of the 20 chapters in the book do include a few examples that may seem a bit dated due to them being based on RC1, this really doesn't mean anything to anyone, but the people that might be under the false impression that this book also will tell them how to configure and install Windows 2000 Server. Anyway, whatever way you may see things, the 670 pages (which by the way is far more than what you'll find elsewhere) is just what you'll need to understand and plan for Active Directory. So until a better book might come along, I'll keep this one handy.

Boring

This game is not fun. If you know the acronym it's asking for, it's too easy. If you don't know, you don't care. I have never played a more boring game (except maybe Ubi).

Poorly Written Hype

This is one of the silliest books I've ever read. First, whoever Joyce Reardon is, he/she should research the type of writing a post-Victorian woman would have written before they try to mock-up such a piece of lurid fiction. This book is no better than a Harlequin romance with a couple of paranormal events thrown in. Steven King may have written this, but in that case, he's no better at satire (if that's what he's attempting) than he is at horror fiction. Save your money and your intelligence.

We must put an end to Dave Matthews Band!

I simply cannot believe that this group still exists, let alone ever made it onto the radio. First of all, none of its members can sing; their voices sound like nails across a chalkboard. And the songs that they have written are complete nonsense that do not sound good at all. As a musician and lifetime appreciator of music, I find it insulting that anyone would support a group that sounds as awful as Dave Matthews Band. This proves that anyone can throw together a bunch of [...] and not put any thought or effort into it, and it will sell. Come on America, we are not that ignorant!!!

Well writen, but incorrect Hawaiian history

This book has some beautiful writing and a decent plot. As someone who grew up in Hawaii during the times when this story takes place I resent that this fiction book presents Hawaiian history in such a biased manner. It was hard for me to enjoy the book knowing that many of the situations were in fact not true and that many readers would believe them to be true Hawaiian history. Remenber the book is fiction!!

Jabra Earset

I ordered this for myself on a Monday and received it on a Wednesday. I took it home that night and my mother-in-law loved it! I had to order another one for myself on Thursday morning. This is a great asset to the cell phone user. It's GREAT! It comes with small/med/large ear pieces for the left/right ear and the button in the middle is great because as a call comes in all you have to do is press the button to begin the call and press again to end. I highly recommend this.

MUSIC-AT LAST

I was more than pleased with this album. You like a Marching Band? He sounds as such. You like a Classical sound? He sounds as such. You like Dance music? It's here. Even I do not understand Spanish or German, that rendition of "La Paloma" is out of this world. I have loaned this Disc to Four people,(Glenn Miller, James,and Benny Goodman fans, I believe two out of the four ordered from you in the last two weeks. Classical, Country, Listening, or Dancing-this is MUSIC FROM ACROSS THE WAY- and the BEST-AT LAST

Exquisite! One of my favorite films.

Colin Firth's acting is perfection. Each actor is terrificand acts their part very well. I thought Mr. Collins wasparticularly droll. I'll bet he is just as amusing outsideof the movies and would make a fun and interesting personto invite to a party. If you like Jane Austen, this is thebest.

Too good to be true

I had this mill for 2 weeks before it just quit working. It was a pain to clean and it just felt cheap overall. When I took it back to exchange it, I noticed several other returned units behind the counter and the rep told me that this burr mill is returned on a daily basis. I ended up just getting a refund and investing that money into a burr mill that was more expensive. There is a night and day difference with the more expensive mill. It has solid construction, is easy to clean, and best of all, it still works after 2 weeks. Don't let the price of this unit fool you. The motor is just too weak and cheap to be used in a burr mill. Save your money and get a more expensive unit.

a Trevanian potboiler without the razor

If you enjoy the fetishization of firearms, the eroticization of violence, and the cheezification of Faulknerian language, this novel is for you. It's Trevanian and Alistair MacLean with lots of italicized homespun wisdom. Macarthy's reputation is puzzling: his dialogue is hokey, his prose is impoverished American modernism (like Faulkner he likes to skip the apostrophe in contractions; like Joyce he eschews quotation marks), his characterizations are utterly uninteresting from a psychological perspective. This is not to say that he does not construct readable books. I gulped this one down right quick. But it's tripe.

Shock

This movie is done in very poor taste. I laughed throughout the movie. The only thing that was a shock, was the price that my friend paid for it. There was only one scene worth the price, and that was where the little boy runs towards his mom, and then jumps up as her dead husband. This is the only Shock in the movie. If you want a good suspense, I reccommend an Alfred Hitchcock film. This movie is horrible.

Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Destiny: TV Movie 3

If you loved watching the tv series then this will be for you. The tv movies otherwise known in Japan as the special editions have extra footage and alternate takes of how the characters experienced the situations depicted. In this volume the viewer is treated to how Shinn viewed the events and the results of his decisions. For Kira and Athrun fans, taking it from Shinn's vantage point equals less scenes of your favorites so keep that in mind. High and Mighty color provides the ending theme for this Volume this time, so please look forward to it.

The Ad Man who was thirty years ahead of his time.

They called him "The Socrates of San Francisco." Howard Luck Gossage had a small advertising agency in a San Francisco firehouse. It was here that Friends of the Earth began - where the world was introduced to Marshall McLuhan. They even did some legendary advertising. Jeff Goodby wrote the intro - Stan Freberg contributed a piece - if you love what advertising could be, you just might like this book.

Bedlam a wonderful read

I too hope that those who read the reviews that only gave this book one and two stars will give this wonderful book a chance. For those of us who truly enjoy a very well written book that one has to take the time to read and enjoy,not just rush through for the sake of reading a book, this was one of those books. I found myself reading slowly to enjoy the book longer and loving the way it was written.The story about maddness and being a lunatic in that time period was eye-opening and at times sad and overwhelming to think about. You will feel for the situation of all the parties in the book and the struggles they had to endure.This is a book with lots of history and details written into it so you could feel the fustrations and maddness at times in the situations, maybe Greg Hollingshead had that in mind and those that felt it the most didn't like the effort needed to read the book.

A good read and you learn a little about life in the UK, too

Many of the other reviewers are off base on this one. This is an enjoyable "chick lit" read and you actually learn something as well. While there is a little bit of the typical focus of this genre on the boyfriend/marriage chase, the reader also learns quite a bit about how the landed class live in the UK. I preferred the author's empathy to her charges over the high level of disdain for everyone that is the hallmark of the Nanny Diaries. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and think that the next time I go to the UK I will have a little more appreciation for the country and its people.

The coverage of the topic is broad and deep. It is one of the few introductory books that devotes some space to transfer function modeling and does so intelligibly.A must have for the novice as well as those more familiar with the topic that need a solid reference.

Talk About a Disappointment

My 3 year-old loves My Little Ponies and absolutely BEGGED for this item for Christmas. It was the ONLY thing she requested from Santa. I began putting it together the night before Christmas and what a nightmare!!! It took FOREVER to get it together and then when I moved it under the tree, it fell apart. It was missing parts, parts didn't fit, and all in all it was the worst toy ever. When she saw it under the tree she was excited until she bent down to play with it and the whole thing crumbled!!! DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY!!!!

A re-release under a different name?

If you are interested in what the music press has to say about MUSE, knock yourself out. This is not a documentary of the band, nor does it contain interviews or insight into their impressive history. If I wanted the opinion of the music press, I would read the NME. A complete waste of time and money.

Cascading Style becomes a Reality

When a developer is in the middle of a project, what is needed is a guidebook that is short, well-written and organized logically. The book must also contain plenty of examples that are specific to the current chapter section, leaving out other confusing cross-references.Cascading Style Sheets by Lie and Bos does all of the above. The book can be read cover-to-cover, or used as a reference as needed. I rarely had to use the index to find a subject, because the chapters are well-named and stick to their subject. This is rare.The authors have exceptional credentials, authoring technical and exacting specifications for CSS. Yet they wrote a book that is clear and understandable for us mere mortals. Every web developer should have a copy.

Not one of his best

Typical Laymon-lots of blood, guts and sex-but unlike his other (and longer) books this one lacks the well thought out storyline and instead goes for something that makes the reader think it has been made-up as it goes along. Something the writer wrote to pay his bills. As a devoted Laymon fan, I recommend you try for one of his newer books as they are seeming to get better with time, but if you are a devoted fan like myself you'll need to read this one. It has all the things we love about Laymon with a nice little twist at the end.

Good enough to pass

This is the only book I read on switching and I scored 956 out of 1000 on the 640-504. I was, however, fortunate enough to have the equipment to test all of the commands in this book, which helped me remember them. If you don't have the equipment to familiarize yourself with the commands, you'd better come up with a very good memorizing mechanism. I only saw 2-3 questions on the exam not covered in this book. Another 2-3 questions went a little deeper than what the book covered, but this book gives you enough info to make a very good educated guess at the least.

Great Robe, Great Price!

When I pulled the robe out of the box I was amazed at the weight! I put it on as soon as I hit the door. It has nice details such as the turned back cuffs being stitched down, you will not have to worry about them flopping into the bathroom sink. Inside ties are sewn into the seams as are the belt loops. I'm a short 5'2" and most robes drag the floor. This one hits just above my ankles - perfect. It's soft and the word that best describes the terry is dense. I priced a lot of robes before picking this one. Similar quality robes sell for up to $100 more! I will probably buy another one and put it away for when I've worn this one to death.

A Golden Opportunity Lost!

Given the number of Discoveries and Range Rover Classics in service and the arguably very high percentage of owners who perform their own maintenance, there must exist a very large market for a book which is a collation and presention of maintenance tips and repair methods and which goes beyond the elementary basics, and offers more detail and anecdotal advice than the various workshop manuals. This book, unfortunately, is not it. It wimps out before offering anything other than the barest first steps in many of the repair projects it describes. For example, under the section describing changing the automatic transmission filter, the advice given may be summed up as "Don't". Most every seasoned maintainer has done this task at least once, and those others, who would purchase such a book, would, no doubt, very much like to know what the job entails.The title 'Step by Step' would be better stated as 'Elementary First Steps'. Overall, a bitter disappointment!

It's Dead Jim... After Only A Month And A Half

I liked the nice bright even light this light threw, until something inside gave a loud (and very startling) POP and power diminished by half resulting in dim unusable light. Replacing the batteries made no difference. All three bulbs are lit, just they are now on permanent half power. The battery contacts and switch were always a bit touchy, but usually worked fine.

Not What I Expected

The footbed on these clogs is very comfortable, but buyer beware - the buckles are attached with staples through the suede and come undone very easily (in my case, after two wearings) The seller's return policy is such that once the shoes have been worn outside, they won't take them back. I had to sew the buckles back on. In my opinion, $100 shoes shouldn't need to be repaired after two wearings.The suede is also much darker than the picture - still a pleasant color, but not what I expected when I ordered.

Great Little Camera

I bought this camera just before I took a week long trip where I would not be able to download photos. So, I bought a Fuji 2GB XD memory card for it as well as an extra battery. I took hundreds of photos and only had to change the battery once! Also, bought a cool little USB XD card reader that makes it easy to download photos to any computer without having to hook up the camera. I love this camera. It is easy to use with little reading of the manual, takes great photos & fits in my pocket. Only thing I would like to have is a small camera case made just for this model. Haven't found one yet.

Did not enjoy

I was very disappointed by this movie. This movie promised to be thoughtful and witty with a cast including Jon Hamm and Kristen Wiig. I thought the premise of kids changing a group of friends and the couples themselves would be interesting and relatable. The characters proved to be unable to evoke much sympathy from me as they wallowed in their disappointments with life. I found the movie depressing and un-insightful.

I'm an Apple fanboy ... but I don't recommend this product.

I own a lot of Apple products but this is one that totally fell below expectations. I picked this product up on vacation in Las Vegas to store my pictures and thought it was an awesome idea.Unfortunately, it did not work well with my Panasonic Lumix camera. It would either run my 30GB iPod out of batteries or wouldn't transfer all the pictures. As mentioned, it's incredible slow too.On my recent trip to Italy, I brought a number of high capacity SD cards which are very low in price these days.

A silly and self-important book

The reviewer who called this something like a peach on a hot summer day surely must be joking. I was curious what the truth of this book was about, since all the reviews here are either unbearably flattering, or all out negative. How come there was no middle ground? Since I don't know the author and therefore am neither a friend or foe, I decided to find out for myself. Sadly, I agree with the thumbs down set. I have a sneaking suspision that some of these overboard rave reviews are written by the author's friends. This a very slight book. And I regretfully agree that there is far too much in here that is vapid, shallow, and stupid.
