0	Fiction is not real life!	The tragic demise of a main character was disappointing to say the least. This type of fiction and its dark sides are fine, but all endings should be satisfactory.	negative
0	doesn't work on bare floors	i did my research and read a lot of good reviews for this vacuum. i really wanted to like it, especially for the price, but it doesn't work on bare floors.i don't have carpet but wanted a good affordable vacuum for the floors and upholstery. i really needed the vacuum to be able to pick up fine particles and sadly, fleas - i'm waging a war on fleas even though my cat stays indoors. it's extremely hot and humid here and fleas just thrive. part of the flea treatment was to sprinkle salt on the floor and vacuum it up. the vacuum didn't pick it up, and just spread it around at high velocity - i could feel the particles hitting my feet and ankles. very disappointing.it seems to work pretty well on upholstery, though to pick up pet hair, you need to use the 'duster' brush and not the upholstery attachment.	negative
0	blind disgrace by Dark Dr	project snow blind is a great dissapointment its only value in the game its self is xbox live quality theres no co op gameplay is a bit repetitive and pointless stay away from this game better options are timespliters and psi ops the mind gate conspiracy	negative
0	Glad I got it for free from a friend	I read several of Connelly's books. I enjoyed The Poet but havebeen disapointed by the rest.On the positive side, Connelly has a great way with explaining investigative procedures-probably due to his background in journalism.On the minus side, the plot was pretty predictable with one or two interesting twists. If you've read some of Connelly's other books you may even be able to predict the twists.I would have forgiven the plot if the characters had been more interesting and less one-dimensional. It seemed like they were there simply to carry the plot and technical details. If you want a fast read and an OK story, this book is fine. If you also want some compelling characters, I would recommend checking out James Elroy or early Lawrence Sanders.	negative
1	Comprehensive and Traditional	This is a most comprehensive guide for mixing drinks I have ever read. Its recipes are traditional and its descriptions of spirits of all varieties are reliable. It is also a very attractive publication for display on one's bar!	positive
1	excellent	This is the best c.d I have bought since Larynn Hills miseducation c.d. I remember when the guys first came out the album then was good but this is an excellent c.d and it does not get the airplay that it deserves. I'm listening to this c.d. all of the time. My favorite songs are the first 5 songs listed on the c.d.	positive
0	This is NOT OEM	Should have known. It's cheap, I wouldn't recommend. Save the money get "Denso" real OEM. Gave 2 stars because of fair price & super fast shipping. I love Amazon.	negative
1	What a great book!	This is the first Penn and Teller book that I have read, and it was awesome. It was very funny. The tricks were really cool (it's amazing what people will believe), and Penn's social commentary was insightful. This book was fun to read, I highly reccomend it.	positive
1	Wow! This is simply incredible!	Wow! Ten stars! As someone who's always wanted to start mediating or doing yoga but just couldn't motivate myself to get to a class, The Journey to Wild Divine is just what I've been looking for.I'm not a gamer or computer person at all, but it was easy to install and from the very first biofeedback event, I could see that I was actually controlling what was happening on the screen. Each activity has been even more beautiful than the last and I have really been learning to change my physical states to relax and reduce stress. I've just starting practicing before bedtime and it's even helping me get and stay asleep.I'd recommend this product to anyone who really wants to improve their health through mind and body techniques. My husband says he'll start using it in the new year. Now that's really saying something!	positive
1	Love it!	This bib is very cute. I use it for my 10 month old who is eating semi-pureed solids and some finger foods. It's a good size for her and is great at catching wayward Cheerios and other munchies, plus it's super easy to clean. I love the fact that I can wipe it off between feedings or throw it in the washing machine for more thorough cleaning. It's also helpful for the daycare too, to just be able to wipe and go.I have to admit I didn't know anything about Keith Haring before choosing thib bib and just thought it was cute, but I've come to appreciate his work in the process too!	positive
0	Horrid - Horrid -- Horrid	JA is spinning in her grave --Not only is the timeline COMPLETELY blown, the character of Elizabeth Bennett Darcy has been undone in this sad excuse for a novel.The author reduces EBD to a fragile, confused, judgemental, withering child. The author also makes a joke out of the Darcy's marriage and attacks Mr Bingley's character.Then we are introduced to ANOTHER ENTALE.....Please -- talk about a waste of time....I kept reading to see how bad it got -- got very, very bad... not even a good ending..RMG	negative
0	Photo is deceiving	I was disappointed by the size, it is much smaller than it appears in the photo. It appears as if it is wider than it really is. The photo displays it extending past both knees width wise.This deception makes me leery of purchasing additional products.	negative
1	Great Toy!	My 2-year-old loves this toy! She loves to pretend and this house is her favorite pastime. It is sturdy. It is basic enough for young children but has enough detail that she will remain interested for years.	positive
0	Not the great American novel	"An American Tragedy" by Theodore Dreiser is considered one of the greatest American books ever written. This may be the case if you can get past the first chapter. Five times, I have tried to read this book. To date, I am 0 for 5, having fallen asleep each time trying to read it. If you're a bit of a lazy reader or one who doesn't want to work through a book, this is not for you. Try Mark Twain instead.	negative
0	the most annoying book, ugh	I tried to read this book. I really tried. I got it on sale because I'd heard of the author and was curious. This is the first book in my memory that I have put aside because I hated every sentence in it. Normally I struggle through the first part of a "boring" book and become pleasantly surprised by the end. I just couldn't get past the first fifty pages, and not without lack of effort. The sad part is that I wanted to like this book and made an honest effort to, but the author made that impossible for me. My advice is don't read this one - there are better books out there. Who knows, in a few years I may even be willing to try one of Eco's earlier works. Then again, I hate this book so much that I doubt I'll even be willing to concede to that. If you like "historical" fiction, try Carter Beats the Devil or the Venus Throw, which are a lot more fun to read.	negative
0	Awful - truly awful book	This guy is an intellectual car-accident. You can't help look at him, but after you've seen the guts and brain matter splattered all over the highway, you realize how sad and depressing it really is. After reading about three chapters, I became so depressed thinking how so many American's really believe this nonsense. How this type of person feeds on ignorance, fear, anger, and hatred like maggots feeding on a corpse. Its hard not to look at a car accident. The desire to see the unspeakable is powerful. But eventually, intelligent people realize why these things remain unspoken - they are wrong. Fundamentally wrong.	negative
0	Meh	The cover of the book appealed to me, and I love chick lit, but this book was basically just a summary of a few well known chick lit books, and really with no further insight. I think the author had enough good content for a pamphlet, the rest was... meh.	negative
0	Not worth $3	I should have read reviews and also thought to myself why is this movie only $3. But I watched it and didn't finish it cause it was just to "try hard". They took the movie Borat, changed the character and tried to make another movie with it. Nope this would have been funny if it was like a bunch of his different characters and bruno was just a 5 minute bit.	negative
0	You should apply your 'fun' theroy to Star Wars Galaxies.	Great book, Unfortunately, The 15 dollars a month I have been paying for the last year and a half now for your Star Wars Galaxies is anything but fun. I honestly don't know how Ralph can write a great book on the mechanics of games, and then not apply any of them to the actual games he works on. Many other games out (the newest World of Warcraft) actually rewards the player for playing, and investing time into the game. Now if he would follow the advice he gives about how a game should be fun, SWG would be a spectacular game. People play games to play, not to work! I really wish he would read his own writing and apply it to his games. And please, please, please, please stop dragging Star Wars, through the gutter to make a buck.	negative
0	Too Small	I Order This Thinking It Was Gonna Be A Decent Size Chain. It Wasnt Its Too Thin I Feel Like My Wallet Is Gonna Fall Of This Little Chain.	negative
1	absolutely great	these binoculars enable you to see terrific detail of objects from a distance. the detail of pike's peak from colorado springs is so great through these it's unbelievable for a pair so compact. as another person stated they are too good for say a ball game but superb for long distance like on a 4x4 trail.	positive
1	Easy - Accurate - Money Saving item......	One note pre review: you have to know how to do a blood draw and spin it down to make serum for this test. If you can't do that - go to your vet!!!Very clear instructions - No false positives with this test - Very easy to use. 2 drops serum in clearly marked well/2 drops buffer solution. Results in 10 mins. Kit contains 5 test so if you wont need that many you can either share with a breeder or, just go to your vet. For those of us with the ability to do blood draws and can use the test in a year or so - a very very good product with accurate results and a money saver. Recommend !	positive
1	The Who's Best Album By A Country Mile	This is just one of those mind blowingly great albums. It is so great, as in one of those albums that when you listen you might wonder to your self -- Wow, is there a human on this earth with such bad taste that they don't like this? If someone tells you anything but that this album is great, their taste in all things should be questioned. If you don't have this already, get it now!!!!!!!!!	positive
1	Kindle price	I have the 1st book of this series. I enjoy Marsha Canham books but the Kindle versions are too expensive.	positive
0	A lot of detail, little insight.	While the first few chapters of the book are entertaining and informatative, the remaining chapters seem to merely add detail to what was already said.Because the book is not structured chronologically, you are forced to jump back and forth through some 75 years worth of events. In some cases, this forces you to revisit the same events in several different chapters. This makes it very difficult to place events in context. Also, the chapters didn't seem to carry equal weight.The book is very well researched and reported. However, it tries too hard to be objective. For every positive thing that the author says about Bernays, there is a negative thing to counter it. After completing the book, I am left with no opinion about the man and I'm unsure of what exactly he did accomplish.	negative
1	this wagon Rocks!!	We got this wagon for my son's 3rd birthday and he abosultely loves it. the neighborhood kids come over just to pull him around the yard and driveway. the long handle makes taking a walk a breeze.i would recommend this wagon to everyone who hates the idea of having to bend over a rinky dink stroller.	positive
0	Really two and a half stars	This thing does the job. But people are going way too crazy with the 5 star reviews. I know most people only feel the need to write a review for something they give either 5 or one star(s). But come on. This is a typical popcorn popper. It pops. Leaves an average amount of corns un-popped (yes I have used the good stuff) and does its job as well (or poorly) as every other popcorn maker on the market. One reviewer noted that the stirring rod removed the non-stick coating where it rubs and this is true. Silly that it's designed that way.	negative
0	rant	sorry but I have tried and tried and I just find this to be the most boring musical ever put together.	negative
1	I loved this book!	I cannot remember how many times I checked this book out at the school and public library when I was a girl! I loved the story of Victoria and Martha's friendship and their adventures at the boarding school I think some books just strike a chord in people and this one really did for me. I am thrilled to see that this book is still being published and look forward to buying it for my daughter.	positive
1	great item and price	This item came in the time it said it should and even was cheaper than the same item that i ordered at Christmas time, but that I never received in the mail! I had to reorder with someone else.	positive
1	ENTERTAINMENT CAN BE EDUCATIONAL	This book is important and timely. STATE OF FEAR presents scientific data instead of politically correct dogma; all within an exciting adventure. Mr. Crichton makes educating yourself virtually painless.Readers that only want to be entertained will not be disappointed, and yet they will have gotten so much more.LaVauneBoise, ID	positive
1	truly most helpful	VEry helpful in understanding the varying aspects of help thru QiGong Empowerment in all that it says..more people should read this for better understanding of what the moves do to help ones health and mind.	positive
1	So good it's spooky!	Imagine knowing more than the history books told you. Imagine knowing your Revolutionalry War hero.Joyce Snyder reaches the deep recesses of my heart with her insights into the difference between truth and Truth. Creatively crafted and cleverly sparce, this novel leaves you wondering and thinking for weeks. It will change the way you watch your dreams.This book is a family favorite. Smooth reading. Jarring ideas. Opening doors.When do we get the next book, Joyce?	positive
1	AWESOME	I have Les Copains by Les Copains in the 3.4 fl.oz. bottle. It has a hypnotic soft fragrance to it that is very addicting to anyone that has the pleasure of inhaling it's scent. I get so many compliments on it evertime I wear it. I'm very surprised that it's not easier to find. It's fragrance is a day or night thing; it's just so AWESOME. I'm almost out and must find more in the 3.4 oz bottle.	positive
0	Not good	The shears are fine but the lock mechanism was very difficult to get undone and won't go back into the locked position. So my shears are stuck open 24/7. Not to handy for carrying or putting in your pocket.	negative
1	Incredible and Inspirational	After reading through this book, I look at the world in a whole new way. Everything is a possible quilt design, now! Diana is an inspiration to beginners like myself - her exercises and techniques are REAL. I use them daily!	positive
0	Kindle New York Times costs too much	I'm not willing to spend over $200 for a newspaper. The NYT needs to drop their price closer to $60/yr.	negative
1	MG Workshop manual, WE Blower	An essential buy for any owner or anyone interested in T types, SVW MGs and all MMM MGs. Although not as comprehensive in some areas as the individual manuals (often no longer available) this book provides all the important information for the owner to service or undertake a major rebuild. Included are sections for performance tuning and supercharging as well as the usual specification, electrial and lubrication charts for M type to TF.	positive
0	Coffee-table book +	Undoubtedly this is a book of fine photographs and drawings. And for many architects and students that is more than enough. They want to be inspired, and to get a feeling for the material qualities of architecture. They indeed need few words. But Weston's book makes a claim to be more than that. It claims to be a historical monograph. But we get little sense of the strangeness, the Otherness, of Finnish culture. Aalto could more or less be designing anywhere. Reference to Finland is merely stereo-typical "nature". Aalto remains as elusive as ever.	negative
1	I'll Give it Four	Okay, so the material is a bit dated (back in 97) but thats okay since its still some of the better up and coming bands from the Chicago area. Its got the pseudo space rock of Kill Hannah, the nice dark wave of File Underwater, and the, well, just kinda cool and weird music of Plastic Princess (going to have to listen to these guys some more to make up MY mind, but hey they're from Chicago so hey have to be cool, right?). My only question is where can I get the book that inspired this stuff. Get it, listen to it, go see the bands.	positive
0	Quite possibly....	...the worst album I have ever heard in my entire life.I was a great fan of Michael Ball's when his career was focused on the musical stage, but his move (and subsequent albums) to the pop arena left me cold. As well as being a fan of musical theater, I also adore country music. So, when I found out that Michael Ball had made a "country" album, my curiosity was piqued.First of all, this is not country music. These are covers of songs originally recorded by country artists. This CD would not be considered country in Nashville, Minneapolis, Branson or even Vegas. The last, however, seems the most likely home for this CD. Gone is the simple and clear emotional renderings of the original artists. Instead, the sorry souls listening are subjected to over-orchestrated arrangements created, to my best guess, to hide the fact that Mr. Ball's once incredible range has all but disappeared and years of smoking and vocal misuse have wreaked havoc on his vocal chords.	negative
0	LIVE?	No Talent, spoon fed, manufactured groups done sing LIVE so i can imagine how lame this is and everytime the Backdoor boys take the stage.	negative
0	Device great but don't buy if you only have Macintosh	The device is great, audio quality and features fine, but their proprietary audio format and lack of ANY Macintosh software that can read it is infuriating. Fortunately I use boot camp but it is a pain. Sony should give you the option to recording uncompressed WAV or AIF, and not just their lousy MSV format. I knew before the purchase that the software they provide was not Mac compatible, but didn't know that the audio could not be read by ANY Mac software. Sony, get your act together.	negative
1	excellent	It was the exactreplacement I needed. The gun works great & the original battery lasted several years.	positive
1	Razor Ramon as WWF champion?Maybe?	On this ppv Bret Hart defended his newly won title against Razor Ramon aka Scott Hall in an extreme classic.Bret won with the sharpshooter after an 20 minute exhausting match.Also Yokozuna won the Rumble to meet Hart at Wrestlemania 9.And wait to you see that one!	positive
1	Lovely design	The bracelet looks fabulous, and feels quite more substantial than one would expect from the picture. One drawback, however, is that it is pretty short, and unless one has very slender wrists, it won't fit. The quality is excellent though, and I love the way it looks.	positive
1	Despite differences between book & film, I'll be #1 in line	I LOVED this book, as so many others obviously do. Altho I am pretty much sure the movie cannot compare to the book, I will definitely be going to see it just out of curiosity. I saw an article for "Simon Birch" in the Aug.20/28 Entertainment Weekly, which included a picture of the child playing Simon Birch (who is the newly renamed, movie-version Owen Meany) and this kid IS Owen. He looks just as I had pictured him from Irving's description. It's an amazing casting job. The film "Simon Birch" is (or is at least marketed to be) a funny, cute, PG-rated look at an odd boy growing up in New Hampshire with his friend, and may be entertaining. But it is not much like the witty, wonderful, sometimes darkly comic "A Prayer for Owen Meany."	positive
1	Incredible! Hot Water Music is the best though...	I love this CD! it is incredible! whether you are a LTJ fan or not, pick up this CD! most of the bands are from Gainesville (ie. LTJ) and they rock!	positive
1	This is what a WPFer needs!	It's more than two months now that I'm working on WPF and I did a lot with it. The book helps immense to get into programming WPF and moreover to understand the mechanisms and th programming model of Windows Presentation Foundation.The Chapter "Custom Controls" mentions many issues you have to know but I wish there could be some more practical examples (I know this is not the intension of that book and perhaps you can write a whole manuscript concerning Custom Controls).The book's structure is concise which supports efficient work. This book is essential for both: WPF-Beginners in order to understand WPF and of course for more experienced WPF-Programmers in order to have an excellent reference compared to the WinFX Documentation.	positive
1	Great for humans too!	I have debilitating allergies to dogs. While waiting for my shots to take effect, my allergist has me taking this every 4 hours during the day (I have two "hypo-allergenic" dogs) as a supplement to my prescriptions and nasal spray. It doesn't give me full relief, but I can certainly tell when I haven't taken it and/or need to take it. It also does not make me drowsy like Benadryl so I can continue to complete my daily tasks.	positive
1	great great great	As many other people have said here, this stand up comedy show offers more laughs than just about anything else you will see on film. No attempt at elaborate comedy could accomplish what Margaret Cho does alone onstage. Her performance made me laugh so hard when I saw it in the theatre that I embarrassed myself several times. Not only is it extremely funny, probably funnier than any other performance of any kind that I have seen, but it is also deeply moving. I very much recommend it; it is truly great.	positive
0	Tastes like wet cardboard smells	I was amazed when I read the label stating that this item had no fat or cholesterol, and fairly low sugar content, so I was happy. Unfortunately,it tastes like wet cardboard smells. I will not be ordering it again. I hope this helps.	negative
1	Parking device that's great when it worked.	This device works exactly as it should. It works well with either battery or 110 volt power. At first I used the batteries until I got my wireing set up. Reseting it was simple after the power change. It enables me to stop my car in the same EXACT spot every time. Before I got it I would have to pull into the garage, get out of the car and check to see how close the back of the car was to the garage door and then sometimes have to move the car again. I need the car to be as close to the garge door as possible to allow the maximum amount of space in front of the car and this device enables me to do it every time. However, in the summer of 2007 it started to deteriorate in it's performance and is no longer reliable so I had to put the little "rubber ball on a string" back up. It seems to be a sensor problem but I am not sure how to clean it or clear up the problem.	positive
1	Great Book!	Great book, I really like the movie as well. I am trying to get my husband to read it too!	positive

Product was not able to allow the wireless connections desired and HP no longer supports it. Vendor has been contacted various times for a refund policy so the product can be returned. Thus far, all they have done in to tell me how to contact HP support and have made no attempt to allow me to return product for a refund. Stay away from the product and the vendor!	negative

0	bad quality	i bought two of this one ripped right away quality are no good .i thought Hanes are good american product i was wrong i will never buy hanes again.	negative
0	Not a book for a learner	It was really hard to understand as a beginner like other reviewers. It makes you keep wonder why you don't follow and don't get much explanation. Well, the first chapter was okay as the introduction of regular expressions, but you get lost by the time you try to understand the excersises in chapter 2. Have you ever had the feeling that you feel like you want to go back again and again but you still goes far and far from the point? It is frustrationg. However, this kind of book could be useful for the teachers, definitely not for learners.	negative
0	Rerecordings... Beware	I love Charley Pride but was disappointed when I played this CD. I was not aware they were not the ORIGINAL RECORDINGS. These songs are ALL RERECORDED and thus lose the original flare they once had.	negative
0	Little enthousiasm for this book	I agree that the book shows a wide variety of storage options available, which is what saves this book from 1 star. However, it only shows one style of interior decoration, and an outdated one at that. Most of the pictures are just so-so.Recommendation: Choose a different book.Better Source:I think Simple Solutions Storage Space by Cahill is a good book. It shows a wider variety of design styles, and they are ones that are more likely to stand the test of time. Plus, it also shows a wide variety of storage options in a wide variety of rooms.	negative
1	Good Little Scrubber	Works as advertised. Just push it back and forth and spin it around a few times, then swab up what's left behind with a patch (and perhaps a lug cleaning star) and you're done.	positive
1	Not bad!	I watched the movie before I even knew there was a book. Unfortunantly I fell in love with the characters in the movie... which kinda stunk because they are portrayed at least 10 years younger in the movie. Sylvia's daughter Allegra, who is a teen in the movie, is 30 in the book. And the other women are all in their 40's except Bernadette, she's about right... So I kinda had to push my imagination into double time and try to forget the actors. I enjoy the book's wonderful vivid details and I laughed out loud at least every few pages, which was great. Very witty and sarcastic and just completely enjoyable as far as I'm concerned. Of course, I love Jane Austen so the idea of these women and 1 man doing a book club of all Jane Austen all the time was fabulous to me! I envy them and their fun times! At least we get to follow along and wish we were there with them.	positive
1	A must have for any ASF fans	This has to be one of the best box sets I have ever heard from Alien Sex Fiend.

A definate must have.	positive

1	One of a Kind	Third lens I've purchased and by far the most fun. The price was hard to swallow but I haven't regretted it once. The shallow depth of field and telephoto abilities make this lens worth every penny. It's awesome.	positive
0	yawn	slow moving book overall. One main character Alexis is mean sprited, entire life a train wreck (in her own head). Vicious, and mean.Boring love/sex scenes, didn't care at that point - was hoping the hero would walk away and find a real person (or vampire).Zero ending - conflict not resolved. hero supposedly running for president of vampires, don't find out if he wins....gee, is the ending just a set up for next yawner?Love vampires, disliked this book	negative
0	Big disappointment	I looked forward to reading this book but found little of interest. For each of 31 serials, none of them "hard sf" despite the subtitle, Kinnard lists credits and cast, story, and comments. Often the story (a nearly unreadable plot summary) exceeds 42 column inches (as for MANHUNT OF MYSTERY ISLAND)--- for no known reasons--- while other serials get less than 6 column inches, with no rationale. I suspect the insanely expanded plot summaries were added to bulk out a very slender book-- less than 200 pages of text. Comments on the serials are repetitive and tend to lack insight or specifics. For instance, the gross overuse of rear projection in FIGHTING DEVIL DOGS is not mentioned. Misprints are few but often hilarous, as "Mephisto lashes Brand with a ship and stalks out of the room," on p. 111. There are odd errors, particularly phonetic spelling of character names!	negative
1	very handy	Works on all household sizes. Very handy if you hate fussing with trash bags that always fall down. And they give you a ton so great for sharing	positive
1	exciting	though this book is nto as good as 'and then there were none' it had me hooked after a few chapters, the surprise ending was very amusing and the way she makes you think "oh this one was easy to figure out" and then at the end you realize you were wrong, she never fails!	positive
0	Simply bad	I loved Tom Schroeppel's great "The Bare Bones Camera Course for Film and Video," so I expected to love this book as well. I got it in the mail the other day and sat down and then read the whole book through. Let me tell you, this book is bad. From the very begining of the book I could tell and it lasted the whole way through, hardly any useful information at all. This is the worst book on creating film or video that I have read yet. I respect the author for his good work on his previous book, but lets face it; this book is awful. It seems as if the author is very good at explaining technical things simply, as he does in his previous book. But his attempt to explain the creation of a film is horrible.	negative

1	No end in sight.	One of the best 'page turners' I've read. The author has you immersed in the story before you know it. The story line is good, the plot is believable (for the most part), and the action is non-stop. However, you're left with an ending that is inadequate, at best. I don't understand why someone would go to such lengths to develop a plot, and then leave the reader wondering 'what happened ?'.	positive
0	Worthless	A slide show of poor photos. Nothing "interactive" about it. It took twice as long to download as it did to play it. Glad it was only $1.99, but not even worth that.	negative
0	Missing Pages	I ordered this book because it was required reading for a class I was taking. Upon receiving my book chapters one and two were missing! Very disappointed in this seller.	negative
1	Interesting read...	This dark collection of stories was very interesting. Take a nightmare, and imagine it being warped, twisted, and then shown to you in print. John Shirley had one or two stories in there that I've read again, simply because they were so powerful. Others, I read, and promptly flushed from my memory banks... If you're looking for spooky, violent and fairly sexually themed stories, this is good. If you're easily offended, or have a weak stomach, skip this...	positive
1	Why can't there be a book about lesbian love without a baby?	Yes, this was a fun book, and the evil boss subtheme will strike a chord in anyone. But my problem with it seems to be infecting all of society these days, both lesbian and het: I'm talking about the baby thing. Maybe I'm a bit sore, but it seems that lately whenever I pick up a book about girl/girl love, there always has to be a baby involved. This does not seem to reflect contemporary lesbian life at least not in my circles. In addition, I feel like the baby subplot was awkwardly inserted in this book, almost as if the writer was wrestled into sandwiching it in there. Other than that, a nice pool read.	positive
1	DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH	This has got to be the best album i have listened to ever! i listen to it at work and people are always asking what i am listening to, and usualy when i tell them who it is they get a questioning look on there faces, i have 4 copies, and have given them to friends over the last few years, who are now devoted fans, as I.	positive

0	No facts, just hype	The author uses many successful companies in his examples. The implications are that if a company has Big Goals it will have corresponding Big Successes. The counterpoint is ignored, that with Big Goals comes the possibility of Big Failures. Both are interesting studies, but this book only addresses the former and ignores the latter.	negative
0	Sucky Blanket	My daughter always calms down at night when she's swaddled. The Miracle Blanket never seemed to contain her though. She's almost 12 lbs and 24 inches long. I'm not sure if she's too long, but she would constantly kick out of the foot pouch. We went back to a swaddler with velcro which ended up working much better for us. Not sure if it's a length issue or I just have a really 'kicky' baby, but I found the Miracle Blanket to be the Sucky Blanket.	negative
1	almost perfect	My dad is in his late 80s so I wanted to make sure the cellar steps were safe for him. He had already purchased small bright white strips (better suited for the bathtub). I replaced them with this wider, more secure and more textured tape and was very happy. The texture is not sandpaper rough, rather more athletic gear rugged. This is a quality product. So, why is my title "almost perfect?" Because it is dark grey in color (only option I could find). After affixing strips of this to each stair, I then had to cut up dad's old white strips and place a bit on each end of the grey strip and two long slivers between the edge of the grey tape and the very edge of the stair. The stairs now look like a runway at LAX, lol, but the result is everything I wanted. If this 3M tape came in off-white, of course, it would be perfect (dark enough to hide dirt, bright enough to reflect light well). 3M, do you read reviews?	positive

1	Short, sweet, and on the money	I was a VP for Quality at Nynex (Verizon) years ago, and after some years at Microsoft now work at a University which is implementing Six Sigma.

1	An orgy of horror	Jan Svanksmajer strikes again with this relentless and provocative film. A wonderful tapestry in which demons emerge. And what other place in the world is the most appropriate but a madhouse to show the decline in all its dreadful human cruelty and thirst for hidden perversions inimiginable?With inspiration coming from Poe and the Marquis de Sade, the film revolves around Jean Berlot, who is unwittingly recruited by a stranger who leads him to the antechamber of hell. An asylum where black masses, perversions, and punishments therapeutic fuerales numbered according to the degree of cruelty are put into practice. Jean meets Charlotte, an attractive woman who falls for revealing some of the secrets behind the door.An amazing trip to the antipodes of the unfathomable horror universe without restrictions. Svnakmajer pays well-deserved tribute to the legendary movie Marat Sade by Peter Brooks, 1967.Do not miss it.	positive

doesn't work on bare floors

i did my research and read a lot of good reviews for this vacuum. i really wanted to like it, especially for the price, but it doesn't work on bare floors.i don't have carpet but wanted a good affordable vacuum for the floors and upholstery. i really needed the vacuum to be able to pick up fine particles and sadly, fleas - i'm waging a war on fleas even though my cat stays indoors. it's extremely hot and humid here and fleas just thrive. part of the flea treatment was to sprinkle salt on the floor and vacuum it up. the vacuum didn't pick it up, and just spread it around at high velocity - i could feel the particles hitting my feet and ankles. very disappointing.it seems to work pretty well on upholstery, though to pick up pet hair, you need to use the 'duster' brush and not the upholstery attachment.

Glad I got it for free from a friend

I read several of Connelly's books. I enjoyed The Poet but havebeen disapointed by the rest.On the positive side, Connelly has a great way with explaining investigative procedures-probably due to his background in journalism.On the minus side, the plot was pretty predictable with one or two interesting twists. If you've read some of Connelly's other books you may even be able to predict the twists.I would have forgiven the plot if the characters had been more interesting and less one-dimensional. It seemed like they were there simply to carry the plot and technical details. If you want a fast read and an OK story, this book is fine. If you also want some compelling characters, I would recommend checking out James Elroy or early Lawrence Sanders.

Wow! This is simply incredible!

Wow! Ten stars! As someone who's always wanted to start mediating or doing yoga but just couldn't motivate myself to get to a class, The Journey to Wild Divine is just what I've been looking for.I'm not a gamer or computer person at all, but it was easy to install and from the very first biofeedback event, I could see that I was actually controlling what was happening on the screen. Each activity has been even more beautiful than the last and I have really been learning to change my physical states to relax and reduce stress. I've just starting practicing before bedtime and it's even helping me get and stay asleep.I'd recommend this product to anyone who really wants to improve their health through mind and body techniques. My husband says he'll start using it in the new year. Now that's really saying something!

This bib is very cute. I use it for my 10 month old who is eating semi-pureed solids and some finger foods. It's a good size for her and is great at catching wayward Cheerios and other munchies, plus it's super easy to clean. I love the fact that I can wipe it off between feedings or throw it in the washing machine for more thorough cleaning. It's also helpful for the daycare too, to just be able to wipe and go.I have to admit I didn't know anything about Keith Haring before choosing thib bib and just thought it was cute, but I've come to appreciate his work in the process too!

Not the great American novel

"An American Tragedy" by Theodore Dreiser is considered one of the greatest American books ever written. This may be the case if you can get past the first chapter. Five times, I have tried to read this book. To date, I am 0 for 5, having fallen asleep each time trying to read it. If you're a bit of a lazy reader or one who doesn't want to work through a book, this is not for you. Try Mark Twain instead.

the most annoying book, ugh

I tried to read this book. I really tried. I got it on sale because I'd heard of the author and was curious. This is the first book in my memory that I have put aside because I hated every sentence in it. Normally I struggle through the first part of a "boring" book and become pleasantly surprised by the end. I just couldn't get past the first fifty pages, and not without lack of effort. The sad part is that I wanted to like this book and made an honest effort to, but the author made that impossible for me. My advice is don't read this one - there are better books out there. Who knows, in a few years I may even be willing to try one of Eco's earlier works. Then again, I hate this book so much that I doubt I'll even be willing to concede to that. If you like "historical" fiction, try Carter Beats the Devil or the Venus Throw, which are a lot more fun to read.

Awful - truly awful book

This guy is an intellectual car-accident. You can't help look at him, but after you've seen the guts and brain matter splattered all over the highway, you realize how sad and depressing it really is. After reading about three chapters, I became so depressed thinking how so many American's really believe this nonsense. How this type of person feeds on ignorance, fear, anger, and hatred like maggots feeding on a corpse. Its hard not to look at a car accident. The desire to see the unspeakable is powerful. But eventually, intelligent people realize why these things remain unspoken - they are wrong. Fundamentally wrong.

You should apply your 'fun' theroy to Star Wars Galaxies.

Great book, Unfortunately, The 15 dollars a month I have been paying for the last year and a half now for your Star Wars Galaxies is anything but fun. I honestly don't know how Ralph can write a great book on the mechanics of games, and then not apply any of them to the actual games he works on. Many other games out (the newest World of Warcraft) actually rewards the player for playing, and investing time into the game. Now if he would follow the advice he gives about how a game should be fun, SWG would be a spectacular game. People play games to play, not to work! I really wish he would read his own writing and apply it to his games. And please, please, please, please stop dragging Star Wars, through the gutter to make a buck.

Easy - Accurate - Money Saving item......

One note pre review: you have to know how to do a blood draw and spin it down to make serum for this test. If you can't do that - go to your vet!!!Very clear instructions - No false positives with this test - Very easy to use. 2 drops serum in clearly marked well/2 drops buffer solution. Results in 10 mins. Kit contains 5 test so if you wont need that many you can either share with a breeder or, just go to your vet. For those of us with the ability to do blood draws and can use the test in a year or so - a very very good product with accurate results and a money saver. Recommend !

A lot of detail, little insight.

While the first few chapters of the book are entertaining and informatative, the remaining chapters seem to merely add detail to what was already said.Because the book is not structured chronologically, you are forced to jump back and forth through some 75 years worth of events. In some cases, this forces you to revisit the same events in several different chapters. This makes it very difficult to place events in context. Also, the chapters didn't seem to carry equal weight.The book is very well researched and reported. However, it tries too hard to be objective. For every positive thing that the author says about Bernays, there is a negative thing to counter it. After completing the book, I am left with no opinion about the man and I'm unsure of what exactly he did accomplish.

Really two and a half stars

This thing does the job. But people are going way too crazy with the 5 star reviews. I know most people only feel the need to write a review for something they give either 5 or one star(s). But come on. This is a typical popcorn popper. It pops. Leaves an average amount of corns un-popped (yes I have used the good stuff) and does its job as well (or poorly) as every other popcorn maker on the market. One reviewer noted that the stirring rod removed the non-stick coating where it rubs and this is true. Silly that it's designed that way.

Coffee-table book +

Undoubtedly this is a book of fine photographs and drawings. And for many architects and students that is more than enough. They want to be inspired, and to get a feeling for the material qualities of architecture. They indeed need few words. But Weston's book makes a claim to be more than that. It claims to be a historical monograph. But we get little sense of the strangeness, the Otherness, of Finnish culture. Aalto could more or less be designing anywhere. Reference to Finland is merely stereo-typical "nature". Aalto remains as elusive as ever.

Quite possibly....

...the worst album I have ever heard in my entire life.I was a great fan of Michael Ball's when his career was focused on the musical stage, but his move (and subsequent albums) to the pop arena left me cold. As well as being a fan of musical theater, I also adore country music. So, when I found out that Michael Ball had made a "country" album, my curiosity was piqued.First of all, this is not country music. These are covers of songs originally recorded by country artists. This CD would not be considered country in Nashville, Minneapolis, Branson or even Vegas. The last, however, seems the most likely home for this CD. Gone is the simple and clear emotional renderings of the original artists. Instead, the sorry souls listening are subjected to over-orchestrated arrangements created, to my best guess, to hide the fact that Mr. Ball's once incredible range has all but disappeared and years of smoking and vocal misuse have wreaked havoc on his vocal chords.

Device great but don't buy if you only have Macintosh

The device is great, audio quality and features fine, but their proprietary audio format and lack of ANY Macintosh software that can read it is infuriating. Fortunately I use boot camp but it is a pain. Sony should give you the option to recording uncompressed WAV or AIF, and not just their lousy MSV format. I knew before the purchase that the software they provide was not Mac compatible, but didn't know that the audio could not be read by ANY Mac software. Sony, get your act together.

Despite differences between book & film, I'll be #1 in line

I *LOVED* this book, as so many others obviously do. Altho I am pretty much sure the movie cannot compare to the book, I will definitely be going to see it just out of curiosity. I saw an article for "Simon Birch" in the Aug.20/28 Entertainment Weekly, which included a picture of the child playing Simon Birch (who is the newly renamed, movie-version Owen Meany) and this kid *IS* Owen. He looks just as I had pictured him from Irving's description. It's an amazing casting job. The film "Simon Birch" is (or is at least marketed to be) a funny, cute, PG-rated look at an odd boy growing up in New Hampshire with his friend, and may be entertaining. But it is not much like the witty, wonderful, sometimes darkly comic "A Prayer for Owen Meany."

It's more than two months now that I'm working on WPF and I did a lot with it. The book helps immense to get into programming WPF and moreover to understand the mechanisms and th programming model of Windows Presentation Foundation.The Chapter "Custom Controls" mentions many issues you have to know but I wish there could be some more practical examples (I know this is not the intension of that book and perhaps you can write a whole manuscript concerning Custom Controls).The book's structure is concise which supports efficient work. This book is essential for both: WPF-Beginners in order to understand WPF and of course for more experienced WPF-Programmers in order to have an excellent reference compared to the WinFX Documentation.

great great great

As many other people have said here, this stand up comedy show offers more laughs than just about anything else you will see on film. No attempt at elaborate comedy could accomplish what Margaret Cho does alone onstage. Her performance made me laugh so hard when I saw it in the theatre that I embarrassed myself several times. Not only is it extremely funny, probably funnier than any other performance of any kind that I have seen, but it is also deeply moving. I very much recommend it; it is truly great.

Parking device that's great when it worked.

This device works exactly as it should. It works well with either battery or 110 volt power. At first I used the batteries until I got my wireing set up. Reseting it was simple after the power change. It enables me to stop my car in the same EXACT spot every time. Before I got it I would have to pull into the garage, get out of the car and check to see how close the back of the car was to the garage door and then sometimes have to move the car again. I need the car to be as close to the garge door as possible to allow the maximum amount of space in front of the car and this device enables me to do it every time. However, in the summer of 2007 it started to deteriorate in it's performance and is no longer reliable so I had to put the little "rubber ball on a string" back up. It seems to be a sensor problem but I am not sure how to clean it or clear up the problem.

Not a book for a learner

It was really hard to understand as a beginner like other reviewers. It makes you keep wonder why you don't follow and don't get much explanation. Well, the first chapter was okay as the introduction of regular expressions, but you get lost by the time you try to understand the excersises in chapter 2. Have you ever had the feeling that you feel like you want to go back again and again but you still goes far and far from the point? It is frustrationg. However, this kind of book could be useful for the teachers, definitely not for learners.

Rerecordings... Beware

I love Charley Pride but was disappointed when I played this CD. I was not aware they were not the ORIGINAL RECORDINGS. These songs are ALL RERECORDED and thus lose the original flare they once had.

Little enthousiasm for this book

I agree that the book shows a wide variety of storage options available, which is what saves this book from 1 star. However, it only shows one style of interior decoration, and an outdated one at that. Most of the pictures are just so-so.Recommendation: Choose a different book.Better Source:I think Simple Solutions Storage Space by Cahill is a good book. It shows a wider variety of design styles, and they are ones that are more likely to stand the test of time. Plus, it also shows a wide variety of storage options in a wide variety of rooms.

Good Little Scrubber

Works as advertised. Just push it back and forth and spin it around a few times, then swab up what's left behind with a patch (and perhaps a lug cleaning star) and you're done.

Not bad!

I watched the movie before I even knew there was a book. Unfortunantly I fell in love with the characters in the movie... which kinda stunk because they are portrayed at least 10 years younger in the movie. Sylvia's daughter Allegra, who is a teen in the movie, is 30 in the book. And the other women are all in their 40's except Bernadette, she's about right... So I kinda had to push my imagination into double time and try to forget the actors. I enjoy the book's wonderful vivid details and I laughed out loud at least every few pages, which was great. Very witty and sarcastic and just completely enjoyable as far as I'm concerned. Of course, I love Jane Austen so the idea of these women and 1 man doing a book club of all Jane Austen all the time was fabulous to me! I envy them and their fun times! At least we get to follow along and wish we were there with them.

yawn

slow moving book overall. One main character Alexis is mean sprited, entire life a train wreck (in her own head). Vicious, and mean.Boring love/sex scenes, didn't care at that point - was hoping the hero would walk away and find a real person (or vampire).Zero ending - conflict not resolved. hero supposedly running for president of vampires, don't find out if he wins....gee, is the ending just a set up for next yawner?Love vampires, disliked this book

Big disappointment

I looked forward to reading this book but found little of interest. For each of 31 serials, none of them "hard sf" despite the subtitle, Kinnard lists credits and cast, story, and comments. Often the story (a nearly unreadable plot summary) exceeds 42 column inches (as for MANHUNT OF MYSTERY ISLAND)--- for no known reasons--- while other serials get less than 6 column inches, with no rationale. I suspect the insanely expanded plot summaries were added to bulk out a very slender book-- less than 200 pages of text. Comments on the serials are repetitive and tend to lack insight or specifics. For instance, the gross overuse of rear projection in FIGHTING DEVIL DOGS is not mentioned. Misprints are few but often hilarous, as "Mephisto lashes Brand with a ship and stalks out of the room," on p. 111. There are odd errors, particularly phonetic spelling of character names!

though this book is nto as good as 'and then there were none' it had me hooked after a few chapters, the surprise ending was very amusing and the way she makes you think "oh this one was easy to figure out" and then at the end you realize you were wrong, she never fails!

Simply bad

I loved Tom Schroeppel's great "The Bare Bones Camera Course for Film and Video," so I expected to love this book as well. I got it in the mail the other day and sat down and then read the whole book through. Let me tell you, this book is bad. From the very begining of the book I could tell and it lasted the whole way through, hardly any useful information at all. This is the worst book on creating film or video that I have read yet. I respect the author for his good work on his previous book, but lets face it; this book is awful. It seems as if the author is very good at explaining technical things simply, as he does in his previous book. But his attempt to explain the creation of a film is horrible.

No end in sight.

One of the best 'page turners' I've read. The author has you immersed in the story before you know it. The story line is good, the plot is believable (for the most part), and the action is non-stop. However, you're left with an ending that is inadequate, at best. I don't understand why someone would go to such lengths to develop a plot, and then leave the reader wondering 'what happened ?'.

Interesting read...

This dark collection of stories was very interesting. Take a nightmare, and imagine it being warped, twisted, and then shown to you in print. John Shirley had one or two stories in there that I've read again, simply because they were so powerful. Others, I read, and promptly flushed from my memory banks... If you're looking for spooky, violent and fairly sexually themed stories, this is good. If you're easily offended, or have a weak stomach, skip this...

Why can't there be a book about lesbian love without a baby?

Yes, this was a fun book, and the evil boss subtheme will strike a chord in anyone. But my problem with it seems to be infecting all of society these days, both lesbian and het: I'm talking about the baby thing. Maybe I'm a bit sore, but it seems that lately whenever I pick up a book about girl/girl love, there always has to be a baby involved. This does not seem to reflect contemporary lesbian life at least not in my circles. In addition, I feel like the baby subplot was awkwardly inserted in this book, almost as if the writer was wrestled into sandwiching it in there. Other than that, a nice pool read.

No facts, just hype

The author uses many successful companies in his examples. The implications are that if a company has Big Goals it will have corresponding Big Successes. The counterpoint is ignored, that with Big Goals comes the possibility of Big Failures. Both are interesting studies, but this book only addresses the former and ignores the latter.

Sucky Blanket

My daughter always calms down at night when she's swaddled. The Miracle Blanket never seemed to contain her though. She's almost 12 lbs and 24 inches long. I'm not sure if she's too long, but she would constantly kick out of the foot pouch. We went back to a swaddler with velcro which ended up working much better for us. Not sure if it's a length issue or I just have a really 'kicky' baby, but I found the Miracle Blanket to be the Sucky Blanket.

almost perfect

My dad is in his late 80s so I wanted to make sure the cellar steps were safe for him. He had already purchased small bright white strips (better suited for the bathtub). I replaced them with this wider, more secure and more textured tape and was very happy. The texture is not sandpaper rough, rather more athletic gear rugged. This is a quality product. So, why is my title "almost perfect?" Because it is dark grey in color (only option I could find). After affixing strips of this to each stair, I then had to cut up dad's old white strips and place a bit on each end of the grey strip and two long slivers between the edge of the grey tape and the very edge of the stair. The stairs now look like a runway at LAX, lol, but the result is everything I wanted. If this 3M tape came in off-white, of course, it would be perfect (dark enough to hide dirt, bright enough to reflect light well). 3M, do you read reviews?

This movie is great. I ordered it thinking it was in color.The web page had the format in color, but when I received it, itwas in black and white. I was very disappointed that it was not incolor. I do not know who made the mistake but I looked online laterand they had changed the format to black and white. I decided to keep it since it is such a great movie. I would enjoy it better if it was in color. I wish someomne would give us the option to have it in color.

a dreadful translation of classic work

do NOT purchase this translation. it makes one of the funniest writers of all time boring. this translation is as bad as the previous reviewers have indicated. the best, and most hilarious, translation that i've seen is a 1938 version that , i think, eugene o'neill worked on as an editor or something. however, aristophanes should definitely be checked out by afficionados of ancient greek literature as well as anyone interested in comic writing that'll make you laugh out loud. he's one of the titans of world literature.

here's my issue with this book

I know the area that she writes about in her book, and the description of it is completely made up. She writes about the african american people like they are aliens from outer space. No one talks like that or looks like that. It was offensive. I wasn't crazy about the story but after reading it I decided to become a writer because if this lady can make it as a writer, I know I can. But it's basically crap.

Short, sweet, and on the money

I was a VP for Quality at Nynex (Verizon) years ago, and after some years at Microsoft now work at a University which is implementing Six Sigma. This book is great at simply explaining the point of SPC aka TQM aka Six Sigma. It gets to the important outcomes with minimal prerequisite understanding.Highly recommended for anyone dealing with Six Sigma or similar initiatives, or thinking about it. Or simply for anyone consuming any series of numeric data in a company or personal life.

An orgy of horror

Jan Svanksmajer strikes again with this relentless and provocative film. A wonderful tapestry in which demons emerge. And what other place in the world is the most appropriate but a madhouse to show the decline in all its dreadful human cruelty and thirst for hidden perversions inimiginable?With inspiration coming from Poe and the Marquis de Sade, the film revolves around Jean Berlot, who is unwittingly recruited by a stranger who leads him to the antechamber of hell. An asylum where black masses, perversions, and punishments therapeutic fuerales numbered according to the degree of cruelty are put into practice. Jean meets Charlotte, an attractive woman who falls for revealing some of the secrets behind the door.An amazing trip to the antipodes of the unfathomable horror universe without restrictions. Svnakmajer pays well-deserved tribute to the legendary movie Marat Sade by Peter Brooks, 1967.Do not miss it.

The book is full of little actions and descriptions which don't have much meaning in the story. Looks like they are here for filling the pages.The text would have needed radical cuttings.

Worst Timex ever

My wife got this watch for me. I like the style and fit. It would lose time. Several minutes a week. The battery died just after a couple of months. I tried replacing the battery but once you remove the paper thin flimsy back you will never get it back on. I sent it back for repair and they sent a new watch. I thought hey great service. Well a few months later it began losing time again and then the minute hand fell off completely. It sits in a drawer at home. I haven't decided whether or not I will bother repairing it again. I am wearing my cheap $30 Casio there never loses more than a second in a month or more.

Somewhat outdated and little info on Park

I was a little disappointed in the book as it did not meet our needs. I was most interested in "inside" info for Olympic National Park such as cool areas off the beaten track and insight into specific campgrounds. However, this book provided nothing beyond what you can easily find on the internet such as number of campsites, bathrooms, etc.The one time we tried to use the book to find a place to eat (in Forks), we were told that the restaurant that book highly suggested had closed down 2 years ago.Those who are going to the Peninsula to visit the towns (not the Park) might find this book a good and useful buy, but certainly did not meet our expectations.
