A Pretty Good Read
|
I'm pretty much a Christmas and Easter only church goer so I was a little hesitant about reading any "Christian fiction." It turns out you don't have to be a zealot to enjoy this book. While set against the backdrop of the Rapture and one view of the end-times, the biblical references and descriptions are much less involved than the detailed technical descriptions favored by the likes of Clancy and Crichton. The plot isn't overly deep but is developed enough to hold your attention and reading "just one more page." My interest in the church has been intrigued by this book and I hope the rest of the series contiues to do so. All in all a pretty good read.

The funny thng about watching these videos after (ahem) 20+ years is forgetting the original videos that Al satirizes. Found myself looking for the videos on IYouTube with the kids. Good for some laughs all around.

Piece of junk
|
High price piece of junk. Failed completely after only 5 days of operation. Displays code F70. Have to send to Panasonic for repair already. Seller would not exchange for new unit because I had it for more than one week. Their return policy is only for one week!! Beware of sellers who do not disclose their return policies. I paid [$$]. with no shipping charge. Panasonic refused to supply a new unit. Will not buy any Panasonic products in the future. I rate it zero stars!!!

The Family Stone was a well-made movie, but at the same time it was horrible. It is a movie I love to hate. I was intensely angry at the family who was so mean to Meredith. Within the first thirty minutes of that movie, I hated the entire family. They were horrible to someone they hardly even knew. I felt sorry for poor Meredith throughout the movie. No one understood her and she had trouble communicating with a family who had nothing in common with her. Overall, the message behind the story was clear. It said that being liberal is the only was to go, and you can conform or die. The way Meredith was treated as a conservative was despicable. Honestly, it was sad how no one gave her a chance from the very beginning, and the ending was probably one of the worst of all time. The ending was TRULY horrible, and made me regret watching the movie in the first place.

Created Woman, but forgot about suspense!
|
As an admirer of most Hammer productions, I am hard-pressed to find many redeeming qualities in this picture. Hammer films are largely known for their eerie atmosphere. This film doesn't know the meaning of the word. The lighting is far too harsh for anything sinister to be implied. As for the script, there is not a plausible moment in this movie. Seeing is believing. What saves this film for camp-lovers are the cooky scenes of Denberg praising the severed head of her dearly departed. But overall, this movie fails as a "horror" movie. No horror, no suspense....whats the point?

Misleading Packaging
|
This looks like a very entertaining toy, but it would not attach to either of our strollers (Bugaboo Frog and Maclaren Quest)nor would it attach to our car seat. The package said "fits ALL strollers, instructions inside." That is obviously not the case, so I email the company, Sassy, to ask for their help, and not only have they not helped, they have not even responded to my email. I would not recommend this at all!

Great book!
|
This book is great, I didn't know much about the O.T.O. But after reading more about them I am facinated by them. Crowley is definetly a man who's history is plagued by lies and misquotes. Martin Starr spent alot of his time researching and making sure that the facts are just that facts. I recommend this book 10x.

This is where it all started!
|
Weller 18 a 60s obsessed mod teen takes speed sees the Pistols live and combines his love for soul and R&B with the fire of the who and the emerging punk scene. Is it a great record?- no but its a vital energetic youthful stab of music that would begin the career of the Uk's best songwriter youth icon. Plus there are some great tunes In the City Away from the numbers etc. This is a snapshot of London circa 1977 and though never punk Weller was the essential rebel and no one looked better and more determined than Paul. The Jam were to become the essential British rock band outside of the Clash and weller has gone on to this very day to be one of the best songwriters of our Generation. And better still the Jams legacy is untarnished and still sounds refreshing today!!!

It is possesed
|
I bought this tooth brush before Christmas. It does work ok. We had major problems with it staying on when we brushed and staying OFF while we slept. We are convinced that this tooth brush is possesed. It turns itself on and off at its whim. I had to throw it away. For $9.99 you could give it a try.

Wow. I don't even know where to start, this book was definitly aimed for younger readers, atleast the manner it was written in. Although I think the things that they were dealing with were more for older readers. I found it to be very unrealisitc and it almost seemed as though the author was trying too hard to make it interesting. I would not recommend it.

Bad sound
|
While the more recent R.E.M. comp, "And I Feel Fine," suffers from booming, compressed, in-your-face sound, this relic from the early '90s is bad in a different way: the sound is trebly and bass-shy. Unfortunately, the best-sounding comp of IRS-era R.E.M. remains "Eponymous." I say unfortunately because it has only 12 songs and is missing a few tracks I love, most notably "Pretty Persuasion." Oh well.

Cute, but not as expected
|
I purchased this bag to use to create a pretend vet set for my daughter. I plan to fill it with some "medical supplies" she can use to care for her stuffed animals. The bag I received does not have the medic cross on the front, which really was a big reason I purchased this particular bag. It is a very cute bag, but now I need to take the time to decorate it so that it is more than just a generic bag. A bit of a disappointment!

Helpful for elbow pain!
|
I actually wore out my old Aircast brace and was having trouble with both arms, so I bought two of them. After all, if both arms hurt, I need one for each! My elbow pain is usually caused by too much computer use, so when I have trouble, I wear the braces at night while I sleep. If I am really having trouble, then I wear the brace(s) during the day too. Originally, my doctor recommended that I buy the Aircast, and I have found that after a few weeks, the pain usually leaves.The air pillow puts gentle pressure in just the right place, supports the tendons, and helps reduce the inflammation. The Aircast also keeps me from folding my arms too tightly when I sleep. I highly recommend this brace and like it much better than the type that doesn't have the air pillow.

Hmmm
|
This is a good read for sure, but the problem I have with this book is Mr. Frey has no problem discounting a higher power/God, etc. and is willing to throw the Bible in the trash with used Q-Tips and used tissues, but he is eager and willing to take advice from Leonard - a cold-blooded, vengful killer, as well as adopt Leonard's catch phrase, "Just Hold On". Good advise for sure - I even saw a young man on the Oprah show tattoo this phrase on his arm. Good advise or not, the fact that this is where his inspiration is found says a lot about the author. I wish him well and I hope he continues his life of sobriety and continues to help others...whatever works I guess?

BORING
|
This film was just stupid. Several friends work in a pizza parlor together, and their lives go in different directions. Julia Roberts in one of her earliest roles, and MY MY MY has she changed. She played a loose, temperamental "town ..." who gets involved with a rich guy and has to figure out how to play on his turf (preparation for Pretty Woman, maybe?), Lili Taylor plays a girl who is soon going to marry her long-time boyfriend. She has doubts, but in the end does marry him. Another character (Annabeth Gish, I think) is saving money to go to Harvard (or some Ivy league school) and finds a job as a nanny. The man who hires her is married, his wife is in England or somewhere, and they have an affair. And when the wife arrives, he tries to pretend nothing ever happened. Nothing new about that story. The film tries to show the womens' enduring friendship, but it is all... dull and contrived.

I bought this so I can hook up my smartphone to the stereo in my garage. The stereo is a little bit older and had a aux video and audio hookup on the front where I plug this in. It works great, but just be aware that it is only 6'' and 6'' is 6''. I wish I would have gotten one that is a little longer, but that's my own fault.

Read The Reviews
|
Read the reviews and understand what you're buying before you pay [price] of your hard earned money for this book.Go to a bookstore and take a minute to thumb through the pages to see what's in it. And the cd in the back of the book? Forget it - it's an eval. copy. You get a few programs that work 'out of the box' but in order to use the cd in it's entirety you have to pay an additional $5.00 at a website in order to activate the 'pro' version - LAME.I wanted so much for this book to be what it advertised. I held out hope reading page after (fluff)page. I held out hope even after reading other reviews that trashed this book. I held out hope until I popped the cd into my computer and saw that the only thing John Chirillo revealed to me was that I wasted my time and money.If you take away only one thing in this review, take this:There are no shortcuts. Buy "Hacking Exposed", sit down in front of the computer, and do your homework. Good Luck

Grows on you
|
Initially, I was disappointed with this album. Being a Corrs fan, I was expecting something a little more upbeat and catchy. This album, however, is nothing like any of their other albums. It's not celtic pop - it's irish folk. And even though at first it might seem unfamiliar and disappointing - it grows on you.The standout tracks here are 'Heart Like A Wheel', 'Peggy Gordon', 'Black is The Color' and 'Dimming of The Day'.If you want some music on a nice quiet evening - this is the album to play.

Bad experience
|
Bought the La Jolla active, and took it to the local music shop to have an expert install it. When I got it back, the sound hole pickup sounded ok but the saddle pickup was horrible; terrible distortion. Wrote to Dean Markely about it, they ignored my email. Took it back to the shop and after fooling around with it for a while, the luthier concluded the saddle pickup was probably bad.Lousy customer support and unsatisfying experience. I still don't know how it is supposed to sound, or if mine was defective.

Dissapointing
|
After living in Japan for a few years I was really looking foward to reading this book and taking a stroll down memory lane. I couldn't believe how much of Japanese pop culture the author chose to leave out,not to mention this book is visually dull. For the money I paid I would have at least exptected "color" pictures. For other types of books this wouldn't matter but I would think if your going to write a book of this kind, ideally a comprehensive VIEW of popular culture in Japan, detailed photographs would have been nice instead of the minaturized black & white photos that show up every 2-3 pages. Besides if your going to write this like a coffee table book,you might as well throw some pretty pictures in.

a boring movie
|
this movie is a triumph of cliche: the plot is one you've seen so many times before that you can't believe anyone would flog it one more time(a road/buddie movie where the leads are of opposite temperament and gender, and end up (surprise! ) entangled). the characters are similarly stereotyped: the blonde-next-door sweetheart, the befuddled, bewildered, stodgy male, the whore with the heart of gold who sets him free (to return to his sweetheart as a wiser and deeper man). the dialogue,the situations,the plot twists, are all so predictably stale that you're not sure if you've wandered into some three-digit channel at 3am. the basic fallacy behind this movie is the "what do you do with a dead horse?" answer: "pump him up with air and he'll float."

Best buffing cube out there!
|
I originally bought this at a mall kiosk after an impressive demonstration that made my nails blindingly shiny.The buffing cube is the best that I have ever used. The nail file is very durable and the cuticle oil seems to really help eliminate hang nails and encourage growth; it also has a nice scent and you only need a tiny bit per nail. I prefer the kiwi lotion but I got ocean scent for a friend and she enjoys it. The lotion quality is very good.I bought it here for $25 including shipping.

The battery tools and kit are good. It comes with pretty much all the different types of batteries you would need.

A dissenting opinion on a terrible calculator
|
I bought two of these calculators and neither performs well - the buttons are terribly sensitive to the point that we often accidently enter the wrong numbers, so we have to pay extra attention. Further, my calculator is currently displaying entirely different numbers than I am putting in - perhaps the battery is dying, but I have no idea how long it may have been doing this. I will definitely be looking for a different calculator next time around.

Bosch Formula Classic vacuum cleaner long term review
|
We've owned this Bosch Formula Classic vacuum cleaner for 7 years and it's still going strong, even with a Golden Retriever in the house. The dog hair is very difficult to get out of the vcarpet and oriental rugs, but this lightweight Bosch vacuum does a great job with it. We also have hardwood floors and tile bathroom floors and the Bosch cleans it all with the provided attachments. I like how light the cleaner is and how easy it is to move around. My only complaint is that I wish the hose was longer so that I could more easily vacuum the stairs. The Carpet head tends to get bogged down with hair, but it's easy to clean out and you can see just how much hair the vacuum picks up! I only wish Bosch still sold these in the US! It's easy to find bags and HEPA filters online and we buy them in 10 packs to save $. A great vacuum!!

Replacement cartridge costs an arm and a leg and leaks powder badly...
|
My power bill went up quite a lot by using this printer. When I tried to print return address labels with it, it won't. Replacement cartridge costs an arm and a leg (costs more than the printer) and leaks powder badly. Cheapest replacement cartridge for this con machine costs over a $100!!! "SAMSUNG" will not replace the badly powder-leaking cartridge nor refund the money! Office Depot will not either!Otherwise a very fast printer while new. Not sure how long it stays that way. Although it stinks when it prints and is probably unhealthy to use, cause one must stay as far away from it as possible to avoid the dangerous fumes and strong burning powder smell it emits.I would avoid this printer at all costs and not buy anything made by "SAMSUNG" (Korea).Also - do not make a mistake by purchasing a "BROTHER" printer, cause those things are even worse and are made to fail while new!

Terrible, anti-gay ending
|
Well, being a lesbian I am always up for watching movies about lesbians. and I thought this movie was great... that is until the ending. The story is about a new girl at a boarding school who rooms with a lesbian couple, Tori and Pualie. One day they were discovered in bed together, so Tori breaks things off and Paulie goes crazy to win her love back, and eventually kills herself. Paulie killing herself only makes the anti-gay society stronger, she let the other side win. This movie is terribly anti-gay and I would not recommend it to anyone. (...)

Lives Up To Its' Name
|
I am a drummer and I bought this unit with which to play along! Finding a portable box that has enough power to put out the volume one needs to play drums and still hear the music is no easy task. Thanks to the "Kaboom Box" the task was made much easier. Not only does the "Kaboom Box" have volume to spare, it actually sounds great too. I really enjoy playing along with my favorite cd's. I don't have to hold back at all such is the power of this box. Other musicians who practice in the warehouse where I rent my rehearsal space have actually wondered if it was a band practice upon hearing me play along. The fidelity and the bass projection really does mimic a full band. Other features are manual locks on the cd and cassette deck and remote control. This is a big bookshelf system with an even bigger dynamic sound!

The Dark Blight

This film is easily the weakest of the 3. It is well acted and has good production values, but fails to entertain due to a bloated running time, weak villains, lack of batman, superfluous side characters and numerous plot holes.If you stopped at the end of the previous film, you wouldn't regret it. It's the film you need to complete a trilogy, but not the one you deserve as a fan. It's ultimately disappointing.

A Good Product

I've not yet added a "wired" computer to this yet, so it's only operating with a single wireless laptop, but setup went very well once I had everything connected properly. After setup, Belkin uses a specific URL through which you can reconfigure the router, and that seems very convenient, although I've nothing to compare this system too.I only have 2 problems thus far: I can't seem to be able to activate the encryption features on the device, and since hooking it up I've been unable to access my Norton Anti-Virus Live Update feature. I've had Belkin products before, however, and trust that the support people will help me with both issues. I don't regret purchasing this unit.

Fun toy, poorly made
|
I had great fun with this toy playing at a store I spotted it in. The problem is the toy is poorly designed and will fail over time. There are 2 main problems.1. The rim at the back of the airzooka which holds the plastic cover in place is poorly designed. It has very shallow groves which hold it in place. If you drop it the rim will pop out from its moorings and the plastic will potentially come undone.2. The plastic backing is poorly made because it is stitched back on itself. This creates tiny perforations which will get bigger over time. My airzooka had gaping holes the size of a thumbnail in two spots after 20 'shots. Once the perforations enlarge the airzooka simply fails to shoot a significant amount of air.

I miss the Wu- Tang of old before they became arrogent, money crazed sellouts. This album is sooo mainsteam. Not only that its all so slow. I was always a fan of our wu boys when they did the intense songs. But there is not a one on this album. What I'll give him is ocassionally puts some decent jazzy loops in the songs. Overall I'm not sorry I bought this album because there some good songs on here. But overall I think Mr. Tical needs to give away all of his money and go back to his creative days when he was a poor, innovative artist.

Frantic Fever
|
Being from Australia you'd think they'd spent a few years being influenced by the Chicago punk/noise Skin Graft scene. Sounding spastic enough to fit on a bill with Chicagos "Lake of Dracula" or SF's "The Phantom Limbs". This band produces a pummeling backround for the vocalist to springboard from into a sinister array of vocal-nutso bliss. If this band don't put a broken smile on your face, no one will.

Botched audio mastering ruins this DVD
|
I looked forward to replacing my VHS copy of this documentary with the DVD, but I was greatly disappointed to discover that the audio on the DVD is horribly distorted. This is true for both the 2.0 and 5.1 tracks. I have tried the DVD on two different players, and have also tried both internal and external D/A conversion. I seriously doubt the problem lies in my particularly copy of the DVD, as there is nothing wrong with the video. Also, the music on the intro menu is clean (no distortion). My guess is that someone at MVD screwed up royally during the DVD mastering process. Now the question is, will this title be recalled and remastered?

I got the remanufactured version, but it's a solid working ice cream maker. It's very easy to use once you figure out some good recipes. Making a batch of ice cream typically only takes about an hour or so for the complete process. Clean up is a snap afterwards as well.My only complaint is that the machine is very, very loud. I typically cover it with several towels to dampen the noise, and you can still hear it in the next room. The noise of the machine is the only reason I'm knocking off a star.

Movie and Music was horrible
|
Pretty bad- they had this annoying music playing through everything. I cannot believe all these start signed up for this movie. Really bad.. just boring and overall a big waste of time.

Amazing and thought-provoking
|
This is a really amazing novel. Obviously I hated David Lurie through most of the book, but I'm pretty sure we're supposed to hate him. There is a lot of commentary on South African apartheid. I'm not much of a history buff, but it was pretty interesting. I actually was interested in Lurie's struggle with the English language/language in general (which is what a wrote an essay on, having read this for a class)...it reveals a lot about our attitudes toward language and our expectations of it. (But I'm going to stop now, before I rewrite my whole analysis.) This is a poignant, somewhat odd, but very significant novel. I highly recommend it.

a good book with only one defect
|
while i do think that richard getting torn away from kalhan happens to much that is the only defect i found. other people thought that the story isnt progressing fast enough but i think it is. I hate it when authors push the story ahead just because the book is at 649 pages and they want to end it at 670. i like when an author doesnt think he has to rush himself. even though i like authors like piers anthony he seems to do that a lot, so his stories are not as good as they could be. other people thought that he goes into to much detail with the violence. HELLO its a war happening. they are not going to throw flowers at each other. and goodkind needed to show all of this so that you know what he went through so that the character developes. this book is a must read in my opinion along with the rect of the series. authors like robert jordan are terrible authors that should be selling their books in a van down by the river.

Great, detailed info on Buffs in Vietnam!
|
I am a big fan of the whole line of Osprey military books. And if you are looking for the types of B-52s used throughout the war, this is a great book for your library. Makes compelling reading as to why and how this aircraft was constantly upgraded, tactics used, strengths and vulnerabilities, etc. My only complaint about this book is that it doesn't show any Bomb Damage Assessment (BDA) or bomb strike photos from the B-52 attacks, which, honestly, is something I had hoped for and (I think reasonably) expected. Still, if you are interested in the B-52 strategic bomber, you will enjoy having this one on your shelf.

No Paper Feeder For Fax Or Copy
|
Cons: No Paper Feeder For Fax Or CopyThere are things which shouldn't be purchased online and this is one of them. The ad reads, prints and copies up to 21 pages a minute - sounds good and I only "assumed" there was a feeder in order to copy up to 21 pages a minute. Nope - 21 pages a minute is if you copy only one page and print 21.We intended to use it mostly as a fax and copier - not a printer. Well, it was for my dad and it was about 60 days later that he opened began to use the product and it's unlikely that amazon will allow me to return the printer.It's a good machine for receiving faxes and printing - just not for sending a fax with multiple pages or copying multiple pages.

oversized for our hands - no sizes to choose from
|
we basically use this to handle hot utensils from lodge like cast iron dutch oven, able skiver and round griddle on a ceramic stove top.The cotton inner lining is good. It protects from heat.But is very big for our hands and not comfortable.Lodge(manufacturer) should make these available for different hand sizes.I ordered 2 pieces, but now use only 1 piece.

Before buying just try to call their customer service
|
I have got few problems with this device,-the most annoying,- sometimes it stops to provide voice guidance, It guides you alright giving few voice directions and then - silence, so you need to watch the screen all the time. It is always late by a distance of ~50-150ft (depending on your speed) so you will need to correct mentally your position, can be confusing when two intersections are close by. In few months, after I bought my device the speaker broke dawn, still speaks but with a lot of distortions. All my attempts to contact customer service (phone, e-mail) have failed. The phone # is 866-346-3344, there is always the same message "the mail box is full and not accepting new messages"

No Justice done to the book
|
The book was alot better than the movie. Disney changed to many key details which gave the book more adventure. They also added some unneeded pasts in the video. The book was historical fiction and I give it 5 stars.

Just plain boring
|
This movie is one gigantic snoozer. It is not humorous, the characters evoke no emotion and the plot is nonexistent. So many critics are so willing to sing its praises because they do not want to admit that anything from someone named Coppola could be such a failure as a film. There are thousands of talented young directors and screenwriters out there trying to sell their skills and this piece of junk gets a big studio release just because the baby from the Godfather directed it. This is simple injustice. The Academy and the critics need to put their eyeballs back into their heads and take them out of the nether regions of their bodies. This movie is not "a classic." Nor is it "one for the ages." It is also not "visually stunning" or "revolutionary" or even plain "good." It is an example of how a bad movie by a bad director can cheat its way into positive acclaim through family connections and condescending critics.

Interesting Book
|
This is an interesting book because of its use of primary sources. Most history text books leave them to the side and others clumsily attempt to weave them in, but Ambrose and Brinkley fit them in nicely and use them to tell the story. It is an interesting read.

Top-Notch Collection
|
This collection of 12 stories offers a darkly humorous and unsentimental view of the new southwest and its marginalized inhabitants. They are all linked in some way to Tucson, AZ and reading them will give you a new perspective on what many think of a bland, desert state. The stories are at their strongest when Poirier sticks to the follies of boys and young men. Many of the stories have a ring of authenticity that suggests the author lived the moment described-or something very close to it indeed. "Ska Boy, 1986" for example, could not have been written by anyone who had not been a part of that teenage subculture at that time. Poirier manages to balance improbable situations with realistic, and wild characters with wildly realistic emotions and desires. This is a top-notch collection, and I'm excited to see more from Poirier.

Not Very Good
|
I am a huge fan of surrealism, but these three movies pale in comparison to to some of the work of Arrabal's contemporaries. The images are interesting (at times), but the plots are boring and filled with pseudo-political massages and personal frustrations from what seem likes millenia ago. These 3 movies haven't aged well. I was disappointed by this set.

THIS shall not pass
|
I agree. i too bought all of the original DVDs initially, and later re-bought all of the extended DVDs. I will not fall for this again. My wife and i just happen to have spent this holiday re-watching the Extended DVDs and i kept saying how I'm looking forward to seeing them on BluRay. But as much as i want to see the trilogy in BluRay i will NOT buy the initial release if they in fact will only contain the theatrical shorter versions of the films. the technology supports the extended versions and in times like this money is tight. So THIS house will wait and continue to enjoy the DVDs until the Blu Ray discs containing the ENTIRE stories are released.

Not worth it
|
I ordered multiple colors. Each one came on a separate shipment and each one fit differently. Only one of the 3 fit correctly. After washing a couple times they pilled up. Wearing them in the heat revealed that although I didn't get soaked in sweat, I did get awful hot in them.

I am not all that happy with the Malibu outdoor lights. They are very thin plastic and break easily.I would look for something more durable if I were going to purchase lights again.I guess you get what you pay for.

Go watch Forks Over Knives instead
|
Let me start this review by saying that I am a vegan, animal rights activist. I disliked this documentary so much! It was annoying, came across as poorly made and really was heavy handed with the slaughter house footage. This video would turn most non-vegans off instead of opening their eyes. I'd recommend people watch Forks Over Knives, Fat Sick and Nearly Dead, and Food Inc, as well as read Skinny Bitch or Eating Animals as these all do what Veducated wished to do. I was so disappointed with this film! There was a lot of hype over this film and I expected so much more.

Bad is Good...
|
This excellent story is both well-crafted and sweetly flawed, just like the central character. Bad Blake is somewhat of a dinosaur of his time: old-school professionalism tempered by the weaknesses and vulnerabilities of egotism and temptation. Cobb has a clear love both for his characters and the generic struggles of musicians in their blacker moments.Bad is fascinating reading. He's intensely aware of his place in the world, and how it has slipped since his heyday. But with his advancing age and declining health, the desire to be understood (if not redeemed) becomes a driving force. Publicly arrogant and privately self-deprecating, Bad Blake is a powerful distillation of both the mystique and the reality of the life of a touring musician.

Great value for the price
|
This works great in airplanes, especially noisy small airplanes. I mainly use this to watch DVD's on my computer and I am pleased with the result. I do agree that the on/off swith turns on easily in the carrying case, so I carry extra AAA batteries with me.If you want functionality, this is a great product. If you want latest and greatest, get the Bose headphones.

Wonderful Illustrations
|
The watercolor illustrations employed represent the setting perfectly, regardless if the point in the story was that of a rural Kansas, Kansas City street life, and Mexican village. What wonderful impressionistic artwork! There seems to be an inner light in the faces of each person represented in the illustrations.The action and music portrayed in the text, carries over into the illustrations. The book's illustrations show movement and action. A sense of happiness or loneliness is conveyed through the watercolor paintings. They are very explicit in showing emotion. Overall, text and illustrations, lend this to being one of the best biographical books for young children.

WAY too small
|
This thing is TINY. I didn't realize it would be smaller than my everyday carry pocketknife. This knife doesn't belong on your belt. It's more like the size of a typical "neck knife," and in fact I have neck knives that are quite a bit bigger. This is also one of the dullest knives I've ever seen from Ka-Bar. It is at least a pretty knife, but on the whole a disappointment.

This book is a good book if you audition a lot at professional and amature theatres. It also is good if you are on a speech team and need different types of monologues. The only drawback is that it dosen't have many teen monologues.

Wasted bucks and wasted nights
|
Oh well I have the same right to make a lame ryhmn in my title as Hank does in most of his songs. How any one can compare him to his grandfather is beyond me. The only redeeming quality to this album is the music. Right when one says," great this song is going to be the one to make me feel that I might have spent my money well on this album", Hank trites it out by saying some thing about his momma and prison. Gramps is rolling over in the grave. Terrible. Save your money. He slams Nashville but doesn't give us what we want. And please no one- not even compared to Waylon.

My Kid Loved It

Very good book about bugs that kids can keep. My son loved it and before the week was out was going around looking a bugs and telling me what they were. It's a great text for kids of reading age who want to know more about bugs and how to keep them alive so that they can study them.

Wonderful! King's Best!
|
I was really reluctant to read Bag of Bones because I heard so much bad reviews. I made myself read it and I loved it! I've read it twice now!From the first page, I was hooked. King just took my emotions and ran with them. He put the drama in mixed with the horror. Yeah. . . there was lack of action and ghost ect. which King usually writes but look at this in another view. I am a huge fan of King and this is definately my favorite.It was also very freaky. Of course he had ghosts. . . then it really wouldn't be a knig novel. And let me tell you them ghosts are so freaky. It literally sent chills up my spine!So if your looking for a novel that will make you sad, make you smile, and make you scared to death, then I would completely recommend this book to you!!!

Junk, need I say more JUNK

This movie should have never been made, there is basically no story present and is just a bunch of people going around on rollerblades bashing each other's brains in. I was really looking foreword to this flick, it's previews were misleading, it looked as though it was brilliant and exciting. Guess what, it's really really really NOT!Trust me don't waste your time unless the only thing better you have to do is give the cat a bath, even then I really don't believe you should waste your time!

Interesting book but tedious and dated
|
first the good: Ms Hamilton is very knowledgeable on the subject and provides a great deal of connection between the Classical Greek and modern thought. The book contains a great deal of food for thought.Now the bad. First, I don't really care for the writing style. This is however a fairly minor issue compared to a bigger issue: bad comparisons.You can't compare a good translation of Classical Greek (such as Pindar) in Modern English and say how contemporary something sounds. Of course it sounds contemporary, if the translator was any good... In fact, Pindar and Homer composed works which would be, on the whole, very different from what people write today. The focus on similarities, especially in translation, is quite misleading.On the whole, I think some people would get something out of this book, but I think there are far better works which address both similarities and differences.
