Red Rabbit

I'll never buy another book without consulting these reviews first. What a waste of money.I kept going for 60 pages, thinking something has got to happen. Wrong.How about zero star.

Ya - Ya 's --- please drown the dog!
|
Because I am a woman, raised in the South, and a Catholic I am absolutely disgusted by the mindless drivel I have just read in this book. Not only are the characters irresponsible, self-centered lushes, it seems that all of them have someone in their past to blame for all of their problems. On top of trying to deal with all the emotional garbage of these shallow characters, there is Hueylene the dog. The presence of this dog in the book did nothing but aggravate the reader. I think it would have improved slightly if the Ya-Yas had drowned the dog in the drinking water when they went for their famous swim!

Doesn't even taste like miso soup
|
After following the rather simple instructions (add one packet to 8oz of hot water and stir), I was extremely disappointed. The soup produced tastes and looks nothing like miso soup. Now I'm stuck with 47 more packets I have no intention of eating.Trust me, just buy another brand. This one is horrible.

Gritty mid-60's Chicago urban blues with no apologies.
|
Ever wonder how those skinny white guys from England learned to wail, like Fleetwood Mac's Peter Green or John Mayall or Eric Clapton ? This electrified blues glory features a young Buddy Guy on guitar and Jr. Wells on harp and vocals stepping up to the mantle of Muddy Waters. Simple, direct-in-your-face blues with nary an extraneous note or add on, every song reeks of mid 60's South Side blues. One of the best examples of urban Chicago blues before the commercial slickness of the 70's took over, "Hoodoo Man Blues" is what I put on when I break out the good bourbon.

The end
|
And a terrible one at that. There are scant few half decent songs on this album, but even those are ruined by the godawful production. The Kinks really sunk into mediocrity during the 80's, with each reverb drenched cheese rock opus leaving you completely baffled. This album however, was the nail in the coffin. From the piss poor lyrics, to the cheap looking album art right down to the songs themselves, this is sad on every level. It makes you wonder what happened to the incredible band that used to exist some 30 odd years ago, but even more so, "WHAT THE HELL WERE THEY THINKING?"

Not a very good quad cane
|
I just received and returned this cane. The product description was wrong - the cane's handle was not made of foam. Rather, it was made of hard, textured plastic and did not serve as a very effective or comfortable grip, especially given its weight. This cane weighs a ton! It is much too heavy for someone who already has difficulty walking unassisted.

Water Music
|
A very nice collection of ballads, rock, jazz/musical and disco!All songs linked to water: rain, bath or a holiday in Niagara.No more tears seams to be a bit out of place now although it has the link to water and there is more disco on the album (but on cd it can be easily skipped). On itself No more tears is a great song and this is the rare Streisand album version with more orchestral arrangements than the Donna Summer album version witch had more synthesizers from witch came the single.

this thing is great!
|
I looked and looked and looked!!! for a talking caller id phone when my Ameritech one bit the dust and couldnt find one that matched up caller id with the phone book recorded on the phone--this solved that problem! I can even match up several phone numbers for the same person (cell, home, work)--of course, I have to re-read how to do it, but directions are simple to follow. It DOES NOT announce the name listed on the caller id unless you record it, it DOES announce the phone number--that's the only reason why it has 4 stars instead of 5--but then I dont know if any type of thing like this will do that.

Great For Singles

I LOVE this product as it's just the right size for me to eat for lunch or to snack on with crackers.I had bought this product from my local grocery, but if one buys enough groceries on site the shipping is free & there is usually a discount that applies so the cost was just an added benefit.I also send these to some of our guys in Iraq as they 'keep' forever, don't require any opener, package easily, and the package is compact & easy to dispose of with little room needed.I like this smaller package so I don't have leftovers the next day.The amount is more than adequate for me to have one sandwich with enough left to snack on later.I prefer tuna in water instead of oil, and I have always hated having to squeeze the water out of canned tuna so this easy open package with very little liquid has been great.Love this product and will definitely continue to buy.

It depends on how much you use this phone....
|
I'm on the phone A LOT for customer service so I was thrilled to learn about this phone -- now I could move around without wires. Sound was good and the look is sleek. But I've had the phone four months and the headset battery died last week. I don't mind replacing a battery, even an expensive one, IF I like the phone and I liked this phone... until I realized I could not replace the battery! I mean, I can't find this battery ANYWHERE. The phone is of no use to me now and I'm back to being wired. Crazy! Why doesn't RCA just make a replacement battery!!??!?

A Narrow Audience
|
Mr. McMurtry has written an extended essay/reflection on "pre-emptive stikes", the moral code we live by as a nation, and then tied it briefly to our current policies in IRAQ and the aftermath of 9/11. His subject is several famous, and not so famous massacres in western lore, and his primary purpose is to draw moral conclusions that connect us to today's events. He doesn't really go into any real explaination of the massacres, so you will need to have know about them from other sources in order to understand his message. I read this book just after completing Hampton Sides' "Blood and Thunder", which gave me the background of most of the massacres mentioned. Had I read these books in reverse order, I wouldn't have understood what Mr. McMurty was trying to say at all.

A classic story but could update pictures
|
It's a classic story of Ferdinand the bull. I read it to my 3 year old son. He enjoys reading books, and usually pictures will gets his attention. But for this book, he was not too interested.The Disney cartoon classic may be a better option. If only the book was a colored version, maybe it would be better.

International AKA English Version!! NOT SAME AS LISTED CD
|
I ordered this solely because I saw the Seeed video for Aufstehn! on international cable access (in German), when I opened and listened to it, "Aufstehn!" is listed as "Rise and Shine" and is sung in English (like almost all the tracks), not what I was expecting I wanted the original German. The track listing on amazon is incorrect,it is as follows:1 Good To Know2 Next...!3 Rise & Shine feat. Cee-Lo Green4 Stand Up5 Waterpumpee6 Music Monks (The See(e)dy Monks)7 She Got Me Twisted8 Thing feat. Saian Supa Crew9 Goosebumps10 Pressure11 Slowlife12 Please, Please feat.

Didn't fit my 08 Odyssey
|
I thought this was the same hitch as what U-Haul offers. The U-Haul got hitch got good reviews on odyclub but this was cheaper (though the price fluctuates). As with some of the other reviewers the hitch holes did not line up with the holes in the van. The hitch came unboxed so the paint was knocked off in several places. I returned it and went with a Curt hitch which came boxed, has a thick powder coating instead of paint and fit well.

Worst Book on JBoss
|
This is a replication of JBoss Administration Guide published by the JBoss.org. This book is poorly organised and doesn't serve the purpose of what this is meant to be. The topics discussed in this book require more description and depth. Most of the chapters are incomplete and not accurate, such as securing JMX console and implementing SSL on JBoss. You can save some $$ by sticking to the official online doco published by JBoss.org.You'll find nothing new in this and you'll learn nothing!!save your money - DON'T BUY THIS BOOK!!

Have to agree
|
Unfortunately, I have to agree with the other reviews. I also am a Porter Cable fan but this was one of the worst tools in my collection. At the cost of $100 or more, I expected much better. The attachments don't stay on, it is noisy. And now, after moderate use, it rattles and wines. It was a good idea on the drawing board but in practice it fell short.

This is a GREAT pump at a very good price
|
I have a split level pond, roughly 650 gallons on the lower level, 350 gallons on the upper level, covering an area of roughly 150 square feet. I purchased the Danner 02650 pump to replace my damaged Flotec model FP0S2300X 2300 GPH pump, as I could not find that same pump as a replacement.PROs:*Cost - $40-60 less than similar pumps I researched.*Fairly easy to install*Very long 20 ft electrical cord*The unit came with a back flow check valve and 1.5 inch fitting*Very quiet pump*Screen around the inflow area keeps out small objects*Output and suction was almost too much, so much water flowed through that initially pond debris clogged the filter on a daily basis.CONs:* None I could determine after 1 1/2 monthsTHE BOTTOM LINE:*Great price*Installation was a breeze*Accelerated filter cleanup is necessary depending on pond size

Great product. Total VFM.

This microphone does its job very well. The background noise is very low-unless you adjust your headphones volume to be very high you will be hard-pressed to notice the noise. While playing the noise is impossible to notice at normal volumes.The microphone does a a very good job of capturing my voice. I do not have to be louder than usual- my voice is crystal clear and even if I speak softly I can be heard clearly.

There are better books on Pinehurst than this.
|
I've been reading golf books for thirty years and this one has to be in the top five of the worst I've ever read. As I was reading this I noticed that I was reading the same paragraph, word for word, only in different chapters. If you want to read good books on Pinehurst stick with anything by Lee Pace.

not for me
|
When I read the description on Amazon I thought the story sounded like the Red Violin and I love learning about history and time periods through character narratives. But this novel is a total snooze fest, I knew I didn't like it in the beginning before she fell in the shaft but I kept reading waiting for the other stories. We finally get to the ancient China part of the story and I'm still bored and end up flipping pages looking for something to happen, I was disappointed, I won't finish it. I give a two for effort.For the people who liked it more power to ya but if you want to read a couple good stories from another culture try Pearl s. Buck's books, or Three Cups of Tea, or the Kite Runner.

Arrived without problem. It wasn't in it's original packaging and the wire that came with it was grey as opposed to black (like the product) so it made me think that it might be refurbished. That said, I haven't had a problem with it and it was super cheap so no complaints here!

Great Features & Sound Quality, But Build Quality is BAD!
|
I've had this player for about 2 months now and the left corner hinge of the lid has broken off completely while I was closing the lid and now the lid is loose!What's more, 3 of the mounts for the screws inside the player that hold it together have broken as well! I havn't once dropped this player or mishandled it. 3 of the screws are now missing and I have to keep it in it's case for fear of it falling apart.However, I MUST say that the Features and Sound Quality from this player are FANTASTIC! If only they'd used higher quality plastic in making it.I've sent SONICblue an email about it and they said it sounds like I received "a defective unit..." and I'm now awaiting a reply about the RMA request; it's been 3 days.I would suggest you buy something else...and save yourself the hassle and waste of money with this one. I regret ever buying the RioVolt SP250! :-(

Nothing New!
|
This rather short coffee-table book is most notable for its collection of photos of Eleanor Roosevelt and her family. The photos are extensive, and a few have not been seen before by non-historians like myself. Otherwise, there was almost nothing new to be learned about this very remarkable and intelligent woman, much to my disappointment! Most amazing was that her grandson actually admitted that he was ignorant of her role on the public stage until her death when he was 20 years old!

I had purchased this battery (April 2011) to replace my original battery. After 3 months of use. It would not hold the charge afterwards. I've tried to many ways to charge it but no such luck.

Mechanics by Symon

An extremely poorly written book!!. Almost no examples. Pure dictation of formulas, which my pet parrot alreadymemorized. Too much pep talk without hard core derivation of equations. Chapter on tensors badly written with outdated symbolsThis book is the epitomy of the failure of physics and scienceeducation in the US, no wonder, we need to import so manyPHD's from overseas while our own creativity in physicsdeclines steadily as a result of too much "snowing"from this type of book, which instills fear, discouragement,and frustration to our young aspiring physics students.

I may just get these for all my basses.
|
I bought a set of these for my '82 Wal fretless and after a little stretching in sound really good. They don't have the quite the zing of a brand new set of uncoated roundwounds but I figure with no frets there is nothing to wear off the coating. I was hesitant to spend a lot for these but I think they will last a LONG time. I've read a few interviews with professional bassist who say these are an excellent, long lasting string and these are genuine comments, not freebie string getting endorsments. We'll see how they do. I have used the light gauge Elixer acoustic strings on my old Martin and they have lasted for years. Also the heavier gauge electric ones on my on my D-60 wood body Dobro that has a telecaster pickup in it. They work great.

plastic differential
|
I have seen that several responders state that the plastic gearbox housing on Agri-Fab spreaders can not be opened for maintenance. Observe closely that there are three end caps, one for each axle entering the box, that keep the housing closed. This is easily popped open by sliding off the end caps. It can be done with fingers and some force. The bad news is that there isn't anything to be done in there except grease. The housing supposedly keeps the gears in contact, but with some wear to the housing holes, axle shafts, etc. the whole thing gets loose. The gears per se show no wear. It truly is a piece of sh??. I would point out that John Deere spreaders come with a lifetime gear box guarantee. Yet, I just ordered another Agri-Fab.

Good budget mic for vocals or instruments!
|
Bought this as a first mic to take some abuse from different vocalists, in my home studio. Thus far, with the exception of a burst shockmount band, it has held up tremendously well, so much so that I automatically reach for it whenever I have to mic a narrator. I have also used it to record percussion and acoustic guitar, which it does really well, without that raspy high end that some condenser mics give.As far as comparison goes, I find it similar to but a bit more sensitive than my Rode NT-1.

I found the book contrary. She mentions to walk your dog at least10 minutes a day, then goes on to say that the Yorkie can getenough exercise in the house. Elaine also impliedthat unless your Yorkie was of championship quality, you shouldnot breed it.You may not find homes for them she says. Fat chance. Yorkie's are a most beloved breed and just because they are not "champs" does not mean that you should not breed them. I own 2 Yorkie's who have papers, but are not from champions. I do not care about the accomplishments of their relatives. They are both "fixed", but only because I do not wish to be a breeder, not because they are inferior to the champions. So, I have a bookavailable should any one want it.

Save your money if you want an air freshener
|
I have used Damp Rid for moisture removal before and the products work well but this really doesn't work as good as I thought it would. I thought while removing odors it would provide the smell of berries as well, or some smell. In reality, it smells when you open it but the smell does not fill the room at all. I;m not talking like a plug in or one of those warmed oil warming units, it just doesn't add a scent to the room at all. For the price, just get regular damp rid and use a warming unit like glade plug ins or air wick unit which actually does scent the air.

Highly intellectual, but interesting exposition
|
Mr. Buckley is an excellent writer and a spiritual man with a conservative point of view. In this book he takes several of his writer-colleagues to task for alleged anti-Semitic sentiments expressed in anti-Israeli discourse. In doing so, he attempts to delineate a careful distinction between being critical to another country's policies (namely Israel's) and using such legitimate criticism as a means of promoting bigoted ideas. This is an important subject burdened by a lot of emotion, and Buckley makes every effort to be fair.Yet through his careful editing, the book is drained of the passion the subject deserves. Expect your mind to be challenged but your heart unmoved by this book.

Repeat after me, Philip Quast: I am not a rock star!

What a disappointment. After hoping for more than just another version of "Stars" from the best Javert ever, I find out he is basically a one-trick pony. The choice of music is totally wrong, the orchestra and arrangements are cheesy, and, what's more, he's having a bad voice day. Also, his use of (very) foul language referring to the baby he and his wife were expecting during the rehearsal of Sunday in the Park is unexpected and unsettling. Add the most unflattering album cover ever and you have a sense of this misguided and mean-spirited mess. After buying this, I feel like the CD's listless live audience sounds: Miserable!

Self Promotion
|
The author is very biased and introduces theories by other thinkers in strongly negative terms before 'attempting' to 'explain' their views in a coherent way. This book is not so much about Mysticism in my view, but the self promotion of the Dogmatic limited philosophy of Ralph Inge. By 'mind-reading' what he believes some of the great thinkers' motivations were and dismissing them as ludicrous makes this a very hard read, full of negative and depressing words. Open minded books with insights into true Mysticism and Gnostic realities for those seeking to understand and learn are plentiful and this book should be avoided.

major design flaw
|
I bought this vacuum b/c of the size and weight. We have hardwood floors and a BIG dog, so the need to vacuum is a daily occurance. Initially I liked this vac, because it was light and fairly easy to use.A few minor details-the cord is too short, and the filter gets full quickly, requiring you to remove it and bang it against the side of the trashcan to get the gunk out of the folds. This usually causes a pretty big dust cloud.These things are a little annoying, but not "deal busters". The MAJOR design flaw is that the exhaust comes out the front of the vacuum, right above the head. This results in any dust bunnies, dog hair or other lightweight stuff becoming airborn in a cloud ahead of you, and the larger stuff, acting like tumbleweed and rolling ahead of you.You can really tell on a sunny day with the sun coming through the window. Basically you end up stirring up and breathing all that stuff in. Yuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Bottom line-great idea, poor execution!

Not one of his greatests books
|
I have been hooked on James Patterson's books since I read "Kiss the Girls" so I was very excited when I saw he had a new book out. However, I found "When the Wind Blows" to be uninteresting and predictable. I had figured out who was behind the genetic testing half-way through the book. After reading his other books, you can figure out a pattern of who the villain is going to be. It is always the last person you suspect, no matter how unlikely this seems. If you are a Patterson fan, I would suggest reading this book, but borrow it from the library rather than buying it.

I was excited to get my tray. However, after I snapped it together, I realized it doesn't go onto the Bumbo easily. If you slide the top part over the middle hump, then you can't get the bottom part underneath the Bumbo to lock it in place. And you have to take the tray off to get your baby out. So you have this struggle to get the tray on and off every time.Once you get the bottom part underneath the Bumbo, it will stay in place and work well. However, be prepared for the frustration of getting it on and off.

It's OK but there are better ones just not cheaper!
|
The HKS works on my .45 1911 magazines but you have to push the rounds back with your thumb and the loader is plastic construction so it flexes especially at the thumb lever. This is not the best loader I've used (UPLULA is best) but it is the cheapest at about half the price of the UpLULA. If you want something cheap get the HKS but if you want something that works best spend the extra bucks and get the UpLULA by Butler Creek.

Be warned, you may not get the correct movie
|
I also received the DVD labeled as 'The Crawling eye'; it was indeed the movie 'The Night of the Ghouls'. Don't order the Widescreen European Edition. I wish there was a method to flag these DVD's on Amazon to warn prospective purchasers. Read the other 1 star ratings, they received the bad DVD also.

why did I wait so long
|
Great product, the first week or two was a bit rocky as my body was adjusting but after that it was smooth sailing. Less bloating and stomach upsets. My acne/skin also looks much better as well. I only take them every other day and get the same results as daily use.

Great Idea But It Never Worked
|
My husband and I bought this toy for our 8 year old daughter for Christmas and we can't get the thing to work. We've replaced batteries, messed with the film etc but to no avail. When you pull the lever to take a picture nothing happens. What a disapointment.

Dont buy this
|
This volume had to be returned as it contains only the first third of the book as written. There was nothing in the promotional literature that indicated this would be a curtailed version of this public domain classic.

Migo 16 Oz stainless steel cup; delightful.

Given to me as a gift, the Migo 16 oz stainless steel cup is delightful. Rinse after use, because it is hard to reach bottom of interior surface to scrub clean.

Information in this book has been of great help to me. I have followed diet in this completely. I have had ulcerative colitis for 16 years and this diet changed my life.

Great, vibrant colors in a very usable palette. Blends easily in fondant, icing and marcipan alike. Just a tiny drop is sufficient for an entire batch, which makes it extremely cost efficient. Shipped and delivered in Norway after just three days.

This item gave me cancer
|
I also was one of the people bitten by the problem where you can't actually make all the models. I'm not sure if this is some new problem or what, but it seems like there's a piece substituted in here where the three hole spar should be. The result is a motorcycle who's middle drags along the ground. While it's hilarious when you figure out what you're missing, in terms of enjoying building a motorcycle I am not impressed.

Great So Far.
|
I didn't give 5 stars because I've only burned 2 CDs so far. Both were perfect and I used 2 different drives to burn them: My Mac Mini CD burner and an external Plextor burner (model PX-740UF). The price was great and so far the product is great.

Not one of Giles Andreae's best
|
I am a big fan of Giles' books. We have most of them! Our favorites.. Giraffes Can't Dance and Rumble in the Jungle. But this one did not meet our expectations. First of all, the mother sends Leo away! What mother would ever send her child away? It doesn't make sense. Also, I don't like all of the references to death. And "biting through the skin" of the zebra. It's definitely not good for young children.

This book is extremely disturbing...
|
I agree totally with the reader from Portland Oregon. The book was very disturbing throughout the entire beginning and again at the end with rapes,abuse and murder. It isn't much of a romance unless you just read the middle, which was boring.

Amazing for price, but not quite what I needed.
|
I bought it to charge our iphones in the car, or an iphone and ipad. Its not clear in the description if it works with those (some don't) and found out when I got it that only ONE of the two ports works for these devices, and the other port doesn't (it says so on the device itself too). It was so cheap it was worth the experiment, but doesn't work for its intended purpose of charging both our phones at once in the car.** Update **Used it once, and worked for a while and quit while on a car trip. Took it apart and found a bad solder joint. Re-did that, and it worked for a hr more or so, then quit altogether.... Skip this one and just get a Griffon charger; worth the extra money.

computer game space
|
I was not able to use the game because it takes too much computer memory space. Once it was downloaded the computer slowed down to a crawl. It slowed every program down. If you buy this product make sure you have a brand new computer with as much memory as you can buy. This is the only way you can be happy with this game and have enough space for your other software.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (Blu-ray/DVD Combo + Digital Copy & BD-Live) [Blu-ray]
|
I haven't had a chance to see the Blu-Ray nor the DVD because I've been trying to get the Digital Copy now sense I got it from Amazon.Com in the mail. So it's been days now I go to the web site on the paper in the case and it is in Spanish and I haven't got a clue on how to answer the questions I end up with a WB Digital copy manager which doesn't work either. I wish I could get some help down loading the Digital copy . The other Blu-Ray movie I got with a Digital Copy worked great but it had a down load disk available. so if any one with the WB or Amazon.com or a kind person out their can help with a down load link It would be great. Thanx anyway Mike mychills@sbcglobal.net

Simple, yet detailed

This book is great. It explains all the physiological changes in words and terms that are completely understandable. Not much variety of workouts so you will need something supplemental if you were very active before conception. Great exercises for a beginner.

Perhaps the most overrated kenny garret album
|
i bought this cd after reading some of the reviews and was greatly disappointed. i almost gave up on kenny on the spot, because this cd is so SMOOTH. i mean that in a bad way, as if kenny g(arrett) was trying to be kenny g(orelick).but luckly for me, i bought SONGBOOK soon after, and was very happy. i don't know, if you like the real kenny g, do the jazz world a favor and buy this cd instead. but if you like MODERN JAZZ, stuff that builds off of everything that came before it, try out one of his other ones.

Not good.
|
The cart itself is adorable but it is not sturdy in the slightest and is incredibly difficult to put together. Some of the wood pushes into itself and wont go in all the way without a little hammering which scuffs it up. I would not buy this ever again.

Nice Track Order
|
Ther material has already been reviewed by 16 people, so read the reviews.What it comes down to these days is what else to put on a two disc collection. The six just will not fit into 80 minutes.Number 6 ends on disc 2. If you have an iPod, just load the 6 concertos and make a play list. But if you are playing the CD, this is fine too. Concerto six is mostly familiar, I can tell the last part from memory.All the concertos are 3 movements, easy to keep track of. Then you go onto the Oboe and Violin concerto BWV, also well known.The harpsichord concerto, next, has a nearly 7 minute andante. The last is for three violin. Read the booklet on the history and reconstructions.Disc 2 certainly is entertaining by itself, though the 6th Brandenburg is kind of hanging out by itself. But as I said, I put in on a play list on the iPod and joined it with 1-5.

Contrary to what everyone else thinks...
|
I thought this movie was pretty good. Sure beats all those American slasher films. At least with this movie and all the other J-horrors previously released (The Ring and The Grudge), these movies have a more lasting effect because they're more psychological.But again, see the movie for yourself. I agree that the acting make up for the script and the story itself, but I was pretty engrossed with this film.

Too much hype
|
Where did all the great ratings come from? Did they actually play Syberia? I found this game a true yawner - over simplistic and dull. I paid 20 dollars, might as well finish it type of game. It should have been named Almost Syberia since you never actually get there without buying the sequel. I now need my own wind up key for a train to oblivian since this game drove me mad.I believe the Adventure Game developers need to quit wasting their time along with ours and come out with a real 'adventure' game. A game with great graphics, great interaction and mind boggling puzzles (without the use of hint/cheats). I'll pay the extra 10-20 dollars for it!

Sometimes older is better
|
The original movie Charly based on Flowers for Algernon is better ....though when I show it to my 8th graders, they do get a slightly edited version of it. (And I would have to do that with this version also.) I don't mind the very 60's film techniques--it's another learning opportunity, as is when "Charles" says that Dr. Nemur will be on the cover of Newsweek but Dr. Strauss will be a Playboy centerfold. It does require some discussion--if you're looking for a movie to pop in and forget, you won't get it with either of the versions here.

Cheap quality
|
this product is good if you seldomly use it. Well I need to use it once a week and now that I've had it for about 2 months, the hose connection doesn't connect to the bonnet. ALL the hot air blows out of the bonnet. OK, how can I dry my hair now? you can't reconnect the connector to the bonnet at all. not even with crazy glue! HORRIBLE quality and it takes FOREVER to dry my hair and that's even if it drys at all.

The Best to Date on the Subject
|
The Conquest of New Spain, by Bernal Diaz is perhaps the best telling of the events that followed the untimely arrival of Hernan Cortez and his band of Conquistadors in Mexico. Diaz himself was one of those conquistadors, and although his takes on what happened are not without bias, they are nevertheless very informative. When you finish reading this book you will have a near perfect understanding of what happened to the Aztec Empire in Mexico.This book gets the highest recommendation possible.

* Anthropomorphic Dish, Spoon, THE WHOLE NINE YARDS ! *
|
Hey, diddle, diddle: What a 'Tall Tale' this is !In southern Indiana we have been celebrating such stories at a 3rd Annual TELL-OFF. The Stevens' sisters would fit right in, along with their brother Jack (GREAT PORTRAIT, that!) who plays the role of "fixer-upper" when the crazed DISH cracks up.Puns and "literary" allusions make this an entertaining read-aloud for adults who will doubtless 'catch on' to more than their young listeners.The authors embroider the original Mother Goose rhyme & the story moves briskly - - halting along the way while its sleepy characters consider their next moves in looking for the missing DISH & SPOON. Janet Stevens has provided wonderful facial expressions for her characters, PLUS athletic bods! Amusing and colorful (Reviewer mcHAIKU is envious of the FORK's Hawaiian shirt), the characters sure sound like "down home folks" don't they? And we look forward to Stevens & Crummels' next collaboration.

horrible book
|
This book is a horrible book! I was trying to solve the mystery of her disappearance, reading through 167 dull pages with little story. She was not kidnapped, as I thought she was. It turns out she was just locked in a pantry. What a non-story! What a boring and disappointing book. The story was very slow, and the characters knew nothing until the last couple pages. Don't buy this horrible book!!!!

Good book, could be better
|
If you do a search on "Milet Bilingual Visual Dictionary" many different versions come up. After purchasing the book, it seems like the publisher made one book, and then translated it into 10 or 15 languages. The reason why this is an issue is there are SO MANY pages with items (for example, a page with camera parts and camera accessories) that simply have no translation in Gujarati...so all that is written is the word "lens" or "tripod" in Gujarati characters.Also, my other issue is that the book presents only the formal words for items, so, for example, bed is written as bichhaani, but more commonly used words like pathhaari or palang are not mentioned. Overall, this will be a fun book to explore with my daughter once she learns how to read Gujarati because there are so many beautiful, detailed illustrations with items that kids growing up in the US might be interested in translating (like astronomy and insects, etc), but it could have been better!

Voices in Harmony Book Review

This book was not what expected, however one of the things that impressed me and that I really like about the book is the history it provides of plural marriage - it's roots, the reasons the church denounced it, and more.
