Boring, Lame, Unstimulating
Lucy, by Jamiaca Kincaid, was one of the most boring books that I have ever been subjected to. It made me want to cry, and not from tears. Rather, it was from the boredom and wasting away of life that I experienced while reading. Lucy is a depressed and somber character that fails to find happiness, because she is not searching for it. Depressing. I know.

great crackers!
I have celiac. I bought my first box of these at a local HFS. The plain are too boring, but with the tamari, they are quite tasty. I save a bunch of money by buying them by the case from Amazon. You have to eat a lot of them to get calories, so I could go through a box quickly. I also use rice cakes, and these little crackers are far superior to them. I make a seed butter out of toasted, ground pumpkin seeds with a little olive oil, and it is quite tasty with these crackers.

Another Great Story of Petaybee!
What a great story! I love Anne Mccaffrey's Dragonriders of Pern series, and so I read Powers that Be, and loved it as well! You do not need to have read the trilogy that preceded this book, but I HIGHLY recommend it. Those three books get you familiar with the planet and its inhabitants as well as give you a great understanding and love for the characters. I believe I enjoyed those books slightly more than this one, but only slightly. Looking forward to reading the next in the series, Maelstrom.

I don't recommend this scanner.
I previously owned a flat bed Microtek years ago and it's still working fine. Unfortunately I can't say the same about this model. The ADF constantly jams and the rollers were noisy. It jams at least once per scan and that's only with 5 sheets of paper. I had it replaced with a new one but it does the exact same thing so I'm returning it for an HP.

Such a Disappointment!
While it would be very helpful to be able to measure body fat percent daily, the methodology of this machine does not work for those taking diuretics. (Diuretic-taking people are thse high blood pressure who have to be very careful about their weight and body fat.)Tanita (the maker) notes that taking a diuretic will skew results, but their descriptions are unclear as to in which direction. The only advice to diuretic-takers in all of Tanita's provided liturature and on its website are to always "take measurements under the same conditions."Tanita provides no information as to the reference scales defining "healthy," "overfat," and "obese" for someone taking a diuretic. Are these ranges higher or lower for someone on a diuretic than for the "standard person"? By how much?No answer.Under these conditions, this scale is useless.

Moving story dramaticelicense detracts from accuracy
Moving tribute to a little known creative genius - R.J.Mitchell - who designed airplanes which have retained their artistic appeal to this day.Biographies I have read of R.J. Mitchell, however, portray him as a non-romantic character - a sterotypical engineer/designer. Rather than fawn over the "Spitfire" moniker given his last design by the War Department, he is reputed to have said "... that's just the type of bloody silly name they would give it ...".Also,in the film, Leslie Howard's character gushes over the Rolls Royce V12 Merlin engine as the progeny of Merlin the magician. In fact, it was RR's habit in those days to name engines after birds of prey i.e Griffon.Anyway, these slight imperfections aside, I'm sure there are others I've missed, this film provides well deserved testimony to the accomplishments and determination of a forgotten hero who did not live to see his airplane perform in battle.

Unforgettable.
Great exercise for those who like to think about the films they watch. Thanks to director Christopher Nolan whose original screenplay makes the audience feels just like Pearce's character, who knows what is going to happen, but not what happened in the moment before.

Still Thieving from Tolkien
The entire story of this book was lifted from an appendix to the Lord of the Rings. It is found in the appendix section dealing with the history of the Rohirrim. This McKiernan dude is incapable of writing anything worth reading. If you've finished reading LOTR and you want to read something else similar... just read LOTR again. Seriously.

2 words...Unique
I got xbox for christmas, getting this game and sega gt 2002, both games being really cool. This one had a twist to it. You have to go through sections of Tokyo and battle other gangs, spraying graffiti, bustin cops, and doing tricks on the way. Sound like fun yet? Well it sure wuz for me. It has really unique graphics, like a cartoon. The songs just make you even MORE addictive to this game. Its not too much of a challenge, and its not the easiest game on the market. This game is just plain fun. If you have an Xbox, and don't know what to do with it, get this game first. It really is easy to start using the controls with. Take it from a beginner.

I love this wagon!!
This is one of the best wagons out there. I did extensive comparing before i bought this one and i am glad i did. Everything i ever read about this wagon is true. It is SO easy to put together and take apart. My son LOVES it so much. He plays with his toys in it all the time and he loves to hide his toys in the secret storage compartment. I can't wait to fill it up with snacks and drinks when we have to go somewhere. This wagon will easily fit my 2 year plus my 2 nephews, both 2 years old. my 9 yr old also fits in this as well as me! I had to try it out too and it held me well.My son loves the cup holders too.Overall this is a great durable wagon.

Adapted from the Back Cover
Written while Apartheid was still entrenched. What really was happening in South Africa under Apartheid in the mid 1980s? Gordon Aeschliman was born and grew up in South Africa where his parents served as missionaries. He graduated from high school in Cape Town. Aeschliman wrote that apartheid was more than a plitical issue. It was a moral issue of vast dimension. His account here presents a timely "clear, factual account of apartheid, coupled with a call for a compassionate, yet firm biblical response." Apartheid: Tragedy in Black and White shows how apartheid wrongly presented the world with a God who was said to favor one race at the expense of another. This book is moving, disturbing and challenging. The call to continue to seek justice, mercy and salvation, no matter the cost is still a timely message for today.

Nothing but banging noises
That's all there is to this CD. Just one banging high BPM noises after another. Track after track. The mix is almost incoherent at times and all the track sound alike. There is simply no melodies to distinguish one track from another. No doubt Carl Cox is one of the most famous DJ's around the globe, but this CD makes him look bad. One star because it's Carl Cox and another star for the "live" effort.

Nice instight hidden in the pages
The book is not bad. The most valuable sections of this book include topics of Structure-Process-Outcome (sometimes), cognitive learning, values, culture, goals, working with tools, and communication. The diagrams and tables in this book are almost not helpful at all; sometimes you wonder if diagrams like figure 1-3 on page 23 is downright necessary to have there. I felt like parts four and five of the book really dragged on unnecessarily, especially the chapter on organizational engineering. It seemed as if the book completely broke down and lost it after page 300. I think that Hoemann had a lot of potential in this book when I first saw it, and I was let down. Another nice thing would be for him to drop the plethora of coined-terms. Overall, there is some really nice thoughts in here, but there is a lot of unnecessary things that you have to thumb through.

Recipe Hall of Fame Quick & Easy Cookbook
This book is enchanting.The variety of recipes is wonderful. Most consist of minimum ingredients and very easy to follow directions.I have used 5 recipes already and all turned out well to rave reviews.The most impressive recommendation I can give is that my 21 year old son made Crawfish Etoufee! It was delicious.......took only 20 minutes and.............MINIMAL cleanup.I think beginners, busy cooks, and fans of tasty dishes will enjoy this cookbook.

horrifyingly bad
This is perhaps one of the worst bands to come out in recent memory. Tuneless, ridiculous songs about dumb fictional girls who smoke pot and eat chips ahoy or something like that. Yeah I get it, he's telling a story, a really bad one and yeah I get it , it's supposed to be "itelligent bar rock" but honestly the singer has zero redeeming qualities, the lyrics are borderline laughable. PLEASE DO NOT SUPPORT THIS BAND. This is a band for aging music critics who never get laid! Don't say I didn't warn you.

Equisite recording with only one drawback
This is clearly a 5-star performance. One of the best and most striking I have ever heard. Clearly deserving of all of its accolades and rave reviews. The ONLY drawback is this CD is very skimpy at about 45 minutes. I would typically expect an hour or more of music on a CD.I'm still very happy with this purchase, but if I found another recording as good as this one (which would take some doing) that included a few more pieces, I might opt for that one. Kocsis, Gieseking (if the mono doesn't bother you) or Roge, for example?

This game is an absolute "must-have" for any 360 owner! Awesome graphics (incl. outstanding in-game cinematic features!) and excellent speed make this a kick @%% game to play!Unlike many racing games for the 360, in this game your vehicle is NOT indestructible! Though the true physics are not 100% realistic, it is quite possible to total your vehicle during a race (and quite fun to watch!)If you like racing games, you simply MUST have this game!

Too many cowboys, not enough Elmo
My 13 month old daughter is possibly the world's biggest Elmo fan, so naturally we were excited to add another video to our collection. She is normally glued to the t.v. when he is on. Unfortunately this video did not keep her attention as the skits with people imbetween the bits with Elmo are just too long. I would stick to "Best of Elmo" or the videos with multiple topics such as "Elmo has two Hands, Ears, and Feet" (they are simply a collection of his shows from Sesame Street).

Still around???
To this day Soluna is my favorite latino girl group. It remains in my cd collection to this day. I loved this cd for years...now 6 years later almost, it has slowly faded with me. I'm guessing they split, being I haven't heard of them anymore. The music is beautiful. Everytime I'm ready to knock Soluna out of my top 25 CD rotation I change my mind and keep them at #25. I still can't let them gooo yet...

Down AKA Kilo
Seems like these other dudes has mistaken this CD for being a rock release. Well, it isnt. Matter of fact it's latino rapper Down AKA. Kilo who is on this.The rapper Down is average at best in my opinion, he has not got much flow and his rhymes are tiredsome. The features on this record is not to be messed with though: Kam, Tha Eastsidaz, MC Ren, Kokane, Snoop, Suga Free, Bad Azz, Daz Dillinger and more.I would say this is a good record for the featured artist, but Down himself cannot hold this up. Might be good for latino rap-fans though

horrible
Don't bother trying to watch this terrible mini series. It is a six hour bore, an unbelievable love triangle between three people who have absolutely no chemistry for each other. There is no heat in this story, no real passion, no real romance. It is a dry, boring, drawn out, and uninspired as they come. The writing is atrocious, and while the actors should be given credit for not choking on the swill they have for dialogue, they are completely unbelievable. The story is utterly predictable, though it goes off on pointless tangents and ignores potentially interesting subplots, and the only thing surprising is that anybody ever thought it would be a good idea to make this drivel. It doesn't even meet the expected level of technical proficiency, with terrible editing, pathetic sound, and blatant continuity problems. Take those six hours of your life and use them for something more worthwhile. The BBC has made many better mini series, and pretty much any one of them would be preferable.

.....
I have used TT since 1988. I will be switching next year. I have no issue with Intuit wanting to protect their software. I do not want to steal from them. However, I installed the software and activated it over the internet. A few days later it stopped working and when I tried to activate it again, it said the software had already been installed on another computer. This is not true. After hours dealing with their support people, they finally shipped me a free replacement. I installed it and it worked fine....for a week. The replacement product did the same thing the original one had done. I finally discovered that any modification of the master boot record or partition tables will deactivate the software. I resize partitions on my machine all the time! So I am now stuck with 2 copies of the software and neither works! Intuit did not think this one through at all! this stuff is junk!

Adorable but sensitive!
My daughter received the pink version for her first birthday and nine months later has rarely touched it. I will say first that she has had her stuffed monkey since she was a tiny baby and never lets it out of her sight, so she doesn't take to most other stuffed animals as much. For a couple of months I didn't realize that I was suppose to switch something different in the back in order to play the whole song because it would cut off all the time. Every little touch does switch it between songs and it goes off all the time in the toy box. My daughter mainly loves the heart that lights up but that is about it.

This product works really well to smooth and straighten curly hair. The addition of steam seems to give hair an added sheen.If you're going to use it on a daily basis a conditioner or other hair product would be helpful. Also, if hair is very naturally curly some slight touches of hair spray will hold the "straightness" for a longer period of time.For a really shiny look add a bit of gloss.

Save your money. This thing is a joke. Pancakes stick, non-stick coating comes off after just a few washings using a mild detergent and dishcloth,and the handle snapped off the last time it was washed. Not to mention the attempt at making eggs over easy; it was eggs all over the kitchen!! Some much needed improvements would be no gap between the two halves and better quality handle, and more Teflon coating.The concept is a good idea, but it needs work.

Bye Bye Bye N'Sync!
After hearing Bye Bye Bye I was quite looking forward to buying No Strings Attached, thinking that such an impressive first single would indicate an impressive sophomore album. Just goes to show you you really CAN'T judge a book by its cover. N'Sync takes the term "sophomore slump" to entirely new levels. Overproduced, overprocessed, and utterly unlistenable. They might've broken BSB's record for first week album sales, but I know what true talent is. And it comes in the form of five men named AJ, Nick, Howie, Kevin and Brian. Enjoy your 15 minutes of fame JC, Justin, Joey, Chris and Lance. Your days are numbered.

Couldn't keep shape
I ordered these looking for some thin ski socks that are warmer than what I currently have. I was initially impressed with the quality. They seemed as warm as my other ski socks and were very comfortable. However, after wearing them skiing twice, the upper part of the socks got way too stretched out and would not retain their original shape. The calf portion was so stretched out the socks would just pool at my ankles. Washing in hot water didn't help. None of my other ski socks have had this problem. If you wear a smaller size (8 or 9) or have insanely skinny calves, this may not be an issue for you.

doesn't fit well
The fitted sheet is too small for my queen size mattress. It's not the depth that's the issue, I don't have a deep mattress. The problem is that the corners on the fitted sheet is too close together, so that the rectangle formed by the four corners are smaller than the queen size mattress. It's impossible to get the fitted sheet on the mattress properly.The sheets are also not soft. They are a bit stiff even after several washes. Overall, I don't think these sheets are worth the price tag.

It was inevitable that with Michael Moores increasing success, someone would come along with an attempt to discredit him. There are many criticisms that can be levelled at Moore. Sadly, this book covers few of them. I don't expect this book to make any difference to his success. people who already dislike him and/or resent his success, will buy it to see their prejudices confirmed. All I can say is: I am glad I didn't have to spend money to read my copy.

This band has gotten a lot of attention and acclaim recently for being the ultimate ultra-stipped down blues stomp - don't believe it. Some of the blues stuff on here is OK, but there is quite a few fey pop songs on here that are a real drag. The biggest bummer of all, however, is the singer's habit of breaking into Robert Plant impersonations from time to time. If it's raw modern bluesy raunch you're after I'd suggest starting with a Gories album. Pass on this.

The Neurobioloby of Addiction
I am a clinical psychologist and a chemical dependency specialist. I have been looking for a book that could be a reference for my masters and doctoral students on what different drugs or alcohol do to the brain and why they are so addictive. There are many good texts out on the market but they are all very technical. This book, on the other hand, is a must for all masters and doctoral students who want to know the rudiments of chamical dependency and what it does to the brain. Don't get turned off by the book's presentation - it may seem juvenile at first but it is far from it. It is a good quick reference and a good companion to The Addiction Counselor's Desk Reference. I am using it for my master's course in chemical dependency and as a recommended read for my doctoral interns. Serina

The Real Cornwell is back!
Point of Origin is in keeping with the Cornwell we have come to know and love. Her best book still remains Post Mortem. This book rates a very close second. I found the ending to be alittle weak and lacking in satisfaction; anti-climatic. There were also changes in the characters that went without explanation, such as Lucy's resignation from the FBI. Carrie's partner preformed unspeakable atrocities, yet the character was neither introduced or developed. He was simply alluded to. Temple Gault was much more horrifying. When does the next book hit the stands?

Monster Turbines
I am totally gob smacked. I have read so much about these things and how brilliant they are. i was totally underwhelmed with what sounds like $20 earbuds. Are the ones i bought off Amazon fake or is this just hyperbole from Monster. On the same day i purchased some Sennheiser CX 500's for $30 off Ebay which probably should have been fake at that price but turned out to be light years ahead of the Monsters. Bass is muddy. midrange, confused, and highs either not there or lacking any transient separation.....they're terrible!!!. How can i tell if they're a fake??... I wouldn't have a clue but if they are Monster need to do something quick as this only leads to uncertainty from the buyer...C'mon Amazon...what's the go here??

Hey awesome dude! MMMMMM....Not!
I think I will pass. I recommend this CD if you really enjoy sloppy guitar playing, almost non-existint bass, a drummer for who all I know is a 5 year old banging twigs on a 5 gallon buckett, and singer who sits there and screams all the lyrics. I have heard so much of Officer Negative's material on GRock it makes me sick. Grock is almost always a good show but when they start with the Officer Negative songs I flip the channel. This is really not good music...I don't even know if it is music. Officer Negative wastes good lyrics because they are such a horrible band. They have good songs lyric wise but no one is going to listen to them when they are this bad.

A big disappointment
The subject and beginning of this novel are well done. However, the hero's obtuseness and eventual rape of the heroine, as well as his simplistic character development, makes this book a dud.

No Sound in Video Mode AT ALL !!!!
One thing that bothers me the most with this camera... is that when in video mode, the video takes no sound!!! Similar models from Canon offer digital cameras that record sound; therefore, I cannot recommend this product at all.

Sort of misleading
These are 'ok' targets in that they're bright and easy to pick up. But the name 'Shatterblast' is misleading. I anticipated a slight "puffing" or some sort of reaction when hit. Basically it just breaks into pieces. The disks are more like plastic than they are chalk, and don't do much when hit other than break into pieces. Nothing really wrong with them, just hoped for more I guess.

Do NOT rent this movie- we turned off after 10 minutes
This was an absolutely terrible movie. My family watched the first 10 minutes of it and then turned it off. Don't throw your money away on this one. Sorry for the poor review, just don't want others to pay for a poor experience.

Poor organization, overall not great book.
This book is the most poorly written book on CSS/HTML/the web that I have EVER read. I learned more in 1 chapter of a for dummies book than I learned reading this entire book five times over. She couldn't keep a coherant thought if she was given a diagram. Crap book. Not worthy to use as toilet paper even.

Logitech Pocket Digital Camera
This is a nice little unit, but I have had two of them and they don't last very long. Also, Logitech seems very reluctant to fulfill their warranty obligations.

Valuable technical detail required for art photography
As a photographer of works of art the indepth technical detail in this book is a necessity for me. Of 4 books I own on this topic, this is the most comprehensive. It has become my 'bible'. I am recommending it to our local Art Guild members who are serious about the need for accurate color slides of their works.

Worst ever owned
We bought one of these ranges in April of 2009. The electronic ignition for the stove top hasn't worked in over a year. The electronic ignition for the oven quit working about six months ago. At least we can light it with a match.In addition, the oven racks are not heavy duty enough, they bow in the middle if you put anything slightly heavy in the oven. The stove top is made of flimsy metal as well and bends with my stock pots on top. I bought this because it was Made in America and wanted to support American workers and have an oven that I could use during power outages. In addition, the company has replaced my oven know half a dozen times because the numbers wear off. They never solved the issue, so I quit trying to get a good one. Instead, I have a useless knob and have to always check an oven thermometer because the knob has no numbers on it. Lousy stove. Won't ever purchase a Premier made range again!

Useless
This book was given to me after three years of happy, successful marriage. I suspect now that the motivation stemmed more from a lack of grandchildren than any concern over my sex life with my husband. I ended up tossing it in a box to moulder after the first couple of chapters, and it certainly hasn't hurt my marriage in the least to ignore the so-called advice in it.I found the text to be utterly useless, and offensive to my intelligence and sense of worth as a woman. The biology section, though dry, was at least relatively factual. I frankly stopped reading when I discovered that the sexual technique section was horribly lacking in information and sadly out of date. There are less than half a dozen possible positions listed, and most of those are just slight variations on plain old Missionary. I don't recommend anyone limit themselves to the stiltedness in these pages. There are MUCH better guides out there.Don't bother buying this one. It's a waste of money, not to mention time.

Another Fine Work From Rosenfelt!
Rosenfelt succesfully follows up his first three novels, Open And Shut, First Degree and Bury The Lead, with Sudden Death. Rosenfelt continues to grow as one of the freshest voices among today's mystery writers due to his ability to provide interesting plots, credible courtroom drama, plenty of surprises, lots of humor and well-developed major and minor characters. Andy Carpenter, the main character who is a wise-cracking suburban New Jersey defense attorney, is one that stays in your mind even after you finish the book and is one that I'm looking forward to 'hang out' with in his future legal adventures. Plus, his dog, Tara, is one I wish I had. I highly recommend Sudden Death when you're in the mood for a fast-paced, easy read. However, you might want to first consider reading the other books in the series which I think will further your appreciation of Sudden Death.

Right on the money and very Insightful.
I have been in the Securities business for seventeen years. Who says that you can't teach an old dog new tricks? I found Mr. Kimball's book stocked with great ideas for either a rookie or an old dog in the securites business. Mr. Kimball discusses issues plagueing securities salespersons for decades. He then gives concrete instructions regarding how to transform and grow in the securities business. Hopefully, the author will follow up this book with other books that will take a broker's business to new levels. My hat is off to Scott Kimball for writing a book that should be in every security salesperson's library.

Kull the Conqueror
Kevin Sorbo, has great range as an actor and can play anything. We loved him in Hercules, Andromada, Bitch Slap and the list goes on. I enjoyed the plot and the humor in " Kull the Conqueror". The quest to save his kingdom was nice to see played out. This movie has everything,swords,sorcery,an evil Queen and last but not least the battle with the forces of darkness. This was a really great movie.

Gotterdammerung of Hitler's Wehrmacht in Russia
In "Hitler Moves East", Paul Carrell told the spellbinding story of the audacious attempt by the seemingly invincible Wehrmacht to destroy Russia in1941-42. In "Scorched Earth" he continues the story of this titanic clash between the two totalitarian states, locked in a death struggle. Carrells' narrative takes the reader on a journey with the Wehrmacht through the steppes of Russia, to the greatest tank battle in history at Kursk, and finally on the long retreat to ultimate defeat for Hitler's legions. This book, along with "Hitler Moves East", constitutes the best available history of the Russo-German war of 1941-45 to date. Very detailed, but VERY READABLE.

Lyrics way too dumb and shallow
Whoever wrote the lyrics to these songs is shallow beyond belief. Not that I am that much less shallow-sitting on the internet and giving my nearly worthless opinion- Their music just rocks in a kind of obvious monkey see monkey do way. Like they took the best of Kiss and the worst of the Ramones, and the worst of cliched suburban boredom and rolled it into a ball. Much ado about nothing.

dont spend this much
please DO NOT spend this much for one of these robes.i gave 1 star only because of the price. if it had a hood i'd prolly rate it higher. walmart has a version of the same robe for under $20 also available in pink. don't know if it is the exact same. i purchased a black one last winter that i expect to last @ least 2 more winters, in fact i may get the pink one this winter just to have a change up. in combination with a pair of matching bootie slippers i feel totally pampered w/o paying a ridiculous price.not as plush as the two short hooded robes i bought @ target the year before but still very nice.

What did it take 2 years for?
What a rip-off. I've been a huge fan of Hoyle Card Games 2005 and was really looking forward to a new version. What they decided to package was the exact same game but with Black Jack and 2 new, never before heard of games.The character players are the exact same: they look the same, sound the same, say the exact same things. No NEW characters. No NEW Music. Even the stuff you buy with Hoyle bucks are the EXACT SAME THINGS! ARRRRGGHHHHH. Okay there is one difference. Its Buggier than the first. The songs won't play in their entirty on my system. The voice files seem of a lesser quality and the lip sync-ing is waaay off.Sigh. Basically they're out to take your money by reselling you the same product. They should've included the new games in a patch.If you've never played the Hoyle card games before, buy it.....used, 2005 edition. If you have 2005, there's no reason to upgrade.okay, im done venting

Didn't like the paper quality and presentation
I bought them (Northanger Abbey, Persuasion, Mansfield Park and Emma) to complete my Jane Austen's collection, and honestly, didn't like the paper quality, it seems like they didn't even care for the presentation of them; it didn't look elegant, cheap to be more specific.

Completely Unreliable
Bought three of these to toss in my boat for early morning trips. First one failed after one trip. Second light failed after one trip. Third light will never be used, because I hate carrying a flashlight I can't depend on.The only good thing about the purchase is that these lights are cheap -- only cost me ~30 bucks to learn a lesson.

awesome lens!
I got this lens for $39 and I am glad I bought it! I should have purchased more to resell haha! Anyway, people need to stop complaining about the AF not working.. It's not the lens' fault that you don't have the body that has the motor built-in, right? I have D7000 and I focus manually anyway. It produces sharp images all the way at 200mm, even w/o the use of tripod. The only misleading thing is that it doesn't have the AF switch on it as opposed to an image that KEH posted here. It nicely built and this is a no brainer deal. Right now the price is $69 but you should get it anyway. It's still cheaper than the original MSRP price.

Living and Working in Canada
This book was not very helpful if you are moving from the US, probably more helpful for someone moving from, say Europe. There wasn't anything in this book that I hadn't already found by quick searches on the internet. I was hoping for more specific and detailed info.

Are you kidding me, this isn't progressing this is the exact opposite. Yeah its progressing if like like your hardcore all fluffy. This album has it good moments but over all it is a let down from their previous albums. I really like this band though and I hope their next release gets alot more heavy. If you can find it check out Bleeding Through first album Dust To Ashes, now that's brutal.

The only authoritative source for information on clustering
There is no other authority on cluster server setup and administration. Don't look for too many changes from the NT4.0 Version of the book... Microsoft didn't change too much!This beats printing out the Word docs on the CD and trying to glean information from them. Dave has done a good job putting this together.Having implemented many Clusters for large corporations, I recommend this book to all of my customers.
