1	i love it	this is an amazing mat, it has soo much of activites for baby. the batteries have to change, my music did not work as yet. would def. recommend this.	positive
1	Good Album	It wasn't a surprise that Mr. Del would deliver another hot album. The production is good. The lyrics are cool. Mr. Del is a good gospel rapper	positive
1	very fun...light workout for beginners.	Okay I had a lot of fun doing this workout. This dvd is good for a beginner. I am overweight but I have been working out for a couple of months in the gym so I was ready to sweat. The DVD is a lot slower than I expected but I still worked up a sweat because I was so excited to be learning some fun Latin moves. My only down part of the video is the lack of energy from some of the background dancers and the instructor didn't give alot of time to learn moves...luckily for me I took some Salsa and Merengue classes so i had a little dance background that helped. If you are a beginner to working out and extremely overweight this is a perfect dvd...otherwise its a fun home workout when you cant get to the gym.	positive
1	Fun, interesting, and touching book	I have never really been interested in history for its own sake, but I have often wondered what daily life was like for people who lived in the past. This book, like Catherine, Called Birdy, gives you a lot of insight into medieval life, in my opinion. Can you imagine what it was like to look upon attending a country fair as the pinnacle of fun, to be in awe of people who could read & write, or to be praised for your intelligence because you sleep in a dung heap? But for the most part, Beetle (later called Alyce) is not that much different from modern people: what she really wants is a purpose & a place in the world. I must also mention that the chapter entitled "The Devil" is hilarious and on its own makes this book worth picking up.	positive
0	They should just drink hemlock	I totally agree with the first 5 reviews before mine. I love to read the reviews to see how many agree with me. I usually find similiarities to my reaction. I too got out my pencil and marked some proofing errors. I bought this at the library book sale for fifty cents and now I can see why. I have read just about everything of Catherine Coulters and can't remember any of them being this bad and unbelievable. She sure likes the word gnarly. She used it countless times to describe the road and also roots on the path. What a hoot.	negative
0	Thank God it was Free	I initially thought this would be a good book with the right brain/ left brain concept of organization.I did not like the way the author continued to categorize "messies" and "cleanies"- I'm not 9 years old. I fee like she went back & forth between writing for an adult and an elementary school kid. Her tone was somewhat condescending & I quit reading.Glad it was free.	negative
1	Get Quaked	Quake, when it first arrived in 1996, was a ground-breaking 1st-person shooter. Not because it brought anything more to the table than DOOM in terms of raw gameplay, but because it used a full 3D polygon based engine instead of a sprite-based one. It was also a very moody game, featuring very hellish-looking Gothic environments and a mix of relentless enemies.The N64 version was a straight PC port, the only difference being it lost the online multiplayer options for a 2-person deathmatch. While it was criticzed during initial release for coming 2 years too late, a decade later its nice to have a version of Quake that runs flawlessly when windows XP has made the PC version glitchy or unplayable.If you have an N64, you can relive Quake in all its brutal gothic glory. It's technically dated, but still loads of fun to play. And never try to put the pin back in.	positive
1	"Magical!"	This game is, in a word, magical! I got it for Christmas and I played it once a few days later, when I loaded it. Since then, I've only got to play it once more because my entire family has been hogging it! The graphics are great, the game plays quickly, and the makers really paid attention to details. Wizard wanna-bes collect Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans, Chocolate Frogs, and Wizard Trading Cards while making their way through challenges. Teachers like Professor Sprout and Professor Flitwick teach spells that are used in the challenges to collect special Challenge Stars, beans, frogs, and cards. There are always hidden secret rooms or passageways to explore that you haven't seen before, and several witches and wizards to talk to. Besides classes, the player, who controls Harry Potter, of course, has to defeat lots of his enemies...I highly reccomend this game. It can be played over and over again and continue to be extremely entertaining every time!	positive
0	Disappointing. Not appropriate for young children.	I was so disappointed in this book! We love Arthur, but a few lines in this book are totally inappropriate for young children. "[Mr. Ratburn] sleeps in a coffin and drinks human blood." "A big black car drove up. 'Who died?' said Francine. 'Maybe Mr. Ratburn!' said Arthur." This story is about lying and cheating. These lines could have been changed to more appropriate language and the moral of the book would not have been affected at all.	negative
0	Disappointing!	Such profound material . . I was wondering how he would end it and as far as I am concerned, he was wondering too. For all the puzzle-solving, intellectual highballing that he puts into his characters, at the end, nothing. It was a page turner, and I only wish there was something of substance as I turned to the last page.	negative
0	the CIA cost me money	This dog walks two steps and backflips and every once in a while it even manages to land on its feet. Adjusting the flip tension is useless. If I had a time machine I'd set my money on fire before buying this again. But since the CIA discourages time travel, I'll just complain on here and call it a day.	negative
0	Tea maker	Bought this one a while ago in hope that someone has invented how to brew loose leaf tea in easy and convenient way.No, it has not been done just yet. Monies spent not wisely on this one... it's just sitting in my kitchen and rarely used, too much work with a few satisfactory results.Still brewing loose leaf old fashion way that proved to be the best -in tea pot!	negative
0	project 8 = upseting	when I first heard about the new tony hawk game I thought i would be better thaen the others. unfortunaly I was wrong, this game is not worth the money. there are tons of glitches where u get stuck places and you have to restart. u cant do flips of run up walls like american wasteland. you also have to go thre levels that are very small and are boring. listin to me, buy american wasteland, it is such a better game or for 50 bucks u could buy a game that is not worth playing. the only thing that got better was when its loading it shows skate videos.	negative
1	just for me	I absolutely love it! I am pleased with the purchase. REO is a stellar band who knows how to rock.	positive
0	Rip Off	This product worked well for awhile, and the prints continue to be clear. The problem is that even though I don't mind feeding the sheets of paper into the dock one at a time (due to limitless paper jams), I run out of ink before running out of paper. I keep the dock plugged in at all times, so that's not the problem. If I could buy the cartridges separately from the paper I would be okay with feeding the paper manually, but here I sit with 50 sheets of paper and an empty cartridge. What a rip off!	negative
0	Geez! I didn't know the human body held that much blood!	"'A-Team' style action where nobody gets hurt?" Indeed not! That was true enough of the cartoon series, but how come nobody mentioned the near-death scene of Duke? (A scene which looked like it was going to be an actual death, but somebody changed their mind--look how it's animated and think about it. Duke was supposed to die!) And for gosh sakes, the blood! There was more blood coming out of that stab wound than is humanly possible! I am not kidding here! Those who have seen it know! Another character is stabbed in the eye in a later scene (though without the blood--they used all the plasma on Duke's stabbing, apparently). The "family oriented" nature of the film was betrayed by these scenes.	negative
0	You get what you pay for...	After my dog chewed through the power cord for my Toshiba laptop, I tried a cheap out in buying this product ($25 v. $140). The lack of the Underwriters Laboratories seal should have been a warning sign. After only a month of no extraordinary use, the wiring has been exposed due to peeling of brittle plastic on both ends of the adapter and near the plug head. I can tell you that the internal wires are blue, pink, and a yellow/green ground. However, the cord does work; mine is now being shielded in about five yards of electrical tape.	negative
0	Great for tango fanatics but maybe not for others	This movie did have some great music and a few very interesting dance scenes, but overall comes across as a slow moving art film with not much of a story line. And, if you don't speak Spanish you'll have to pay attention to the subtitles or you'll lose track of what little plot there is.For those who have invested much of their lives in dance, and tango in particular, this is likely a very enjoyable movie. However, if you're just a first time tango lesson taker, or a non-dancer, you might find this movie tedious to sit through and you might be tempted to hit the fast-forward button.	negative
0	For BALLET dancers	I found the advice given in this book to be simple common sense, In other words, I have that so I should have used it to flip through the pages and see I did not need this book! Also, it is directed only at ballet dancers- I am a jazz dancer(though I study ballet as well). Still, I felt discounted. Dance describes so many diferrent genres. The title should have specified it's focus.	negative
0	ashamed to sell this book	I own this book and planned to try to sell it on amazon, but I, like many of the customers, was terribly disappointed by the impractical suggestions in the book. I wish I could have glanced through it before buying it online. It is a waste of money and I would rather than donate it to a library or throw it in the garbage or recycle bin than sell it to some unsuspecting person. I cannot with good conscience sell it.	negative
1	HOTT	THIS CD WAS HELL OF HOTT GO OUT AND BUY IT EVERYBODY THEY LOOK HELL OF HOTT AND I LOVE ALL THE SONGS AND I REALLY LOVE DUSTIN ALOT HE IS SOOOOOOO HOTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DAMN	positive
0	This thing makes too much noise.	The little men got lost within a week of getting this toy. My son now uses army men to play with it. I won't let him turn it on because it makes so much noise that you can hear it all over the house and that vibrating noise makes my teeth hurt! The board itself has stood up well; it's been left outside and rained on and it still works. However, like I said it is noisy and it is hard to figure out how to play it by the rules. I bought my son a rug that looks like a football field and he uses his WWE action figures to create football games. It keeps him involved for hours and is a lot less noisy!	negative
1	Tales Have Good Surprise Endings	I ended up liking this DVD because each story have a surprise ending that makes the story satisfying and suspense along the way was worth it. Victoria Principal looks fabulous, for someone not in her 20s or 30s (though I don't know how old she's here), and I had hoped to see some nudity but there wasn't any. But she did pretty good being leading role in each tale.	positive
0	the product has nothing particular	the price is ok.but the product seems not as good as i thought it must be.thus i prefer transparent tape of this brand.well, still kin to this brand, btw.	negative
0	sprayer doesn't work	I love this perfume, however the sprayer didn't work...don't think I'll be ordering from this company again	negative
1	Funny, imaginative	The Wide-mouthed Frog is a wonderfully illustrated pop-up book, with great, detailed pop-ups. The story is simple: a wide-mouthed frog states what he eats and asks other denizens of the swamp what they eat, until he comes upon an alligator who eats... Well, the wide-mouthed frog becomes a small-mouthed frog and leaves with a big spalsh, which always elicts a laugh. This book is full of teaching possibilities, wonderful artistic details to pour over and a funny, simple story told in a great way.	positive
0	Item was not in stock so they sent completely different part	This was a total waste....they didn't have what was shown or ordered, so they sent a completely different part (bigger size etc) Then it was up to me to pay for return for refund. I did not return, because if a business can do this on the front end, I would NEVER trust them to do the correct thing on the Return end.DO NOT EVER BUY FROM THEM.....	negative
0	Battery Backup Doesn't Work	I didn't have problems with random alarms like other reviewers, but the battery backup stopped working within a couple of months. My toddler unplugged the alarm a couple of times. After the second time, the battery backup stopped working. I tried resetting it, a fresh battery, etc. and nothing worked. It seems to work (flashing light) on AC power, but who knows?	negative
1	Replacement Blades	I have been saying that I will replace the blades for over 2 years in my Philips Norelco HQ9 SpeedXL. If I didn't like the shaver so much I would have bought a new one. The new blades are excellent, but expensive, you probably could get a new shaver for a few bucks more.	positive
1	Great chill out music compilation	I love the Seriously Good Music Series, I will definitely buy the others. This one is great and will be a wonderful addition to someone's chill out/ down tempo music collection.	positive
0	worthless piece of plastic don't wast your money	i threw this in the garbage after two seconds of inspecting itdon't waste your money don't waste your money	negative
0	DO NOT BUY...if bought take back now!!	This product is horrible! My 6 year old recieved this present for Xmas and we just opened it today. You can not see out the viewfinder...it is like watching a bad digital movie..the people and object do not come into focusYou literally can not see what you are taking a picture of!So we tried to download the pictures...such horrible quality!!This is going back today!	negative
0	Terrible Edition	Content completely aside, this is a terrible edition of Dialogues to read: the text is too big and illegible. It appears that they were trying to make it "authentic" and it is simply really hard to read. I would highly recommend using the "look inside" tool to see for yourself whether or not this is what you want.Find a different edition!	negative
1	as expected	I can't really say much about the product in either regard. It serves its purpose but it doesn't hold up to some of the larger method books on the market. Also on the plus side, this stand is quite inexpensive so if you're looking for an emergency back up, this will more than suffice. If you're buying a stand for the first time I would recommend it purely because of the price point. There are much better products out on the market, but there are certainly far worse.	positive
0	not recommended	I live in a studio apartment.I don't cook much. This product has a design mistake. The stainless steal body part of the burner gets hot and makes the knobs melt and fall apart. The knobs fell off in a month! It's not possible to fix them.. I don't recommend this product to anyone..I have to buy a new one in different brand..	negative
1	Amazing !!!	This game is said to be the best of the Smackdown! series. the only thing that is wrong is that they've left out Eugene, William Regal, La REsistance, and LITA!! that sucks so much. the thing I hate is that this will be the First smackdown game WITHOUT stephanie mcmahon. overall i give this game 5 stars instantly.	positive
0	Falls short of expectations	This product gave the expectation of real, low level astronomical exploration for my son. Unfortunately, it's difficult to focus precisely, and rather fragile. The viewing eyepiece has too few threads to attach it to the telescope and stripped after just three or four removals and re-attachments. The various lenses could never be set up to really view the heavens. The whole thing turned out rather lame.	negative
0	Very Disappointed	I thought I was going to love this router and all my computers would share a faster single. Well it didn't work out like that I had to reinstall it 3 times on my main coputer and it still didn't work and to make matters worst after i added and rebooted the third time my hard drive crashed now I have to send off for a restore disc. My laptop can still get the signal but the router stops sending basically when it wants to so I lose my connection in the middle of work and can't get it back up for sometimes hours. My other belkin routers work like a dream and this is a nightmare. I've lost everything off my other comp and this one I'm afraid is not far behind. I don't know if I'll ever buy another belkin product.	negative
1	A User-friendly Textbook for ESOL Beginners	I've taught ESOL for over 30 years and this is my all-time favorite textbook. It's easy,fun and interesting for both teacher and students to use. The illustrations are clever and funny, the guided activities are interactive, the grammar points are clearly presented, the reading selections and follow-up exercises help students work on their listening, speaking, reading and writing skills.	positive
1	Quick & Easy	product came as described... works just fine, great price, great service will do business with again...	positive
0	one hanger???	the ONE time I don't read reviews. Figures. Four bucks for ONE hanger??? The hanger I got was nice, but the product name is super misleading.	negative
1	Songs For The Soul Winning Church	I have personally met and went to one of Mike Specks choral seminars, and he is amazing. I have purchased all of his CD's plus the ones that we sing in our choir. His music brings a new meaning to singing to the lord.	positive
1	inexplicably good	I'm afraid this is one of those films that you just have to see. No attempt at paraphrase or rhetoric can add to what's already there on the screen. You might want to talk about the technical features, the lack of music, the point of view shots in the car, the beautifully desolate views of the hills around Tehran,the ambiguity of the ending - it's all just noise in my opinion. This film (like any other of true quality) is not what people say about it. It's to be experienced. You have a feeling of being taken somewhere else for 95 minutes, even though the realist feel should rightfully keep you grounded - somehow it has an element which uplifts you. I was extremely happy and alive for the rest of the day after seeing this - perhaps surprising considering the subject matter. I don't know anything about Mr Kiarostami (aside from his reputation) or the actors involved, but I am so glad I watched this film and look forward eagerly to see another of his.	positive
0	Hurts my ears!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!	If every human emotion had a soundtrack to go with it.....this CD would be a 'headache'. This is what a migrain headache would sound like.	negative
0	Tradgic Sellout	I bought this CD for one song, and other than that one song and two others, everything else was really bad. Most of the songs in this CD were so wierd that I thought "what the hell is she siging about." Also there were the lyrics. The lyrics in some of these songs made the lyrics from "The Transplants" sound good, and these weren't even about dead people and drugs. The only songs that I found good were "Unsung," "Paint it Black," and the chart topping hit "A Thousand Miles." Other songs like "Pretty Baby" and "Ordinary Day" were just plain stupid. Really consider buying this CD before you buy it.	negative
0	Film came different from picture and type	I ordered 600 Platinum Film from Ace Photo and Digital. The picture showed Polaroid Platinum Film and this was written on the order form but when the film arrived it was just the plain 600 instant film. I would not have paid more money if I knew it was the regular film. It seems like false advertising. When I called the company they said that Polaroid stopped making that type of film and that it is basically the same film. I am really unsatisfied. I would have just gone to Target and bought it for the same film. They offered me a 10% refund. Don't be tricked if you think you're getting something different than the regular film.	negative
1	RR oval pot review	Very happy with my purchase. Continue to look at Amazon products and I am sure will make more purchases in the future.	positive
0	Incorrect image	As a British citizen in the USA I was looking for a British Union Flag (It isn't a Union Jack unless it is on a boat) and noticed that the red diagonal St Patrick's cross is missing on the photo. It may be that the flag you receive is different to the displayed photo but buyer beware - this image is not the British flag.	negative
0	Not happy with this one!	I have not experienced an even warm cup of tea let alone hot since using this product. I tried pre-heating it and still no results. Very disappointed. I positively don't recommend this product.	negative
0	Not the same soundtrack as the VHS tape! A disappointment!	I have a copy of the original Vestron VHS videotape I acquired in the 80s. I just bought the Australian DVD. The soundtrack on the tape is hysterical, the language is raunchy and it's a very entertaining movie. For example, the voice of the dragon sounds a lot like Bill Murray (but isn't), the wild boar has a distinct pompous Scottish accent and the teradactyl has a Chris Tucker style accent. The whole film is humorously narrated by Stewie and it has a killer rock & roll soundtrack. The DVD is completely different. There no narration, no rock and roll and very drab, boring dialog. The picture quality leaves a lot to be desired too. Save your money and hope for a future US re-release, maybe by Anchor Bay, who owns a good part of the now defunct Vestron video collection.	negative
0	Disappointed	This book was a let-down from what was expected. It was a book only really explaining the basic theory. Most of which a competant sysadmin knows already - Large arrows pointing out what an RJ45 port looks like on a computer for example. This was contrasted by the fact that over 1/8th of the book is C sourcecode.The technology discussed, both hardware and software seems out of date: does anyone still use a liunx 2.0.30 kernel?Overall, the book was far too superficial and lacking in practical aspects of building a cluster and the availability of any software out there to help you.	negative
1	Very Sweeeeeet! God I love Angelina!	3 1/2 Stars only (Amazon won't let us 1/2 our stars)This movie was definitely cool for me. I am a superfine Videogame freak-a-holic, and the Lora Croft Franchise is no exception for me. While I have never had the patience or time to play all the way through even one of her videogames, I have enjoyed immensely, what I have played.Therefore I had a little bit higher of plateau of entertainment expectations. This movie definitely satisfied those expectations. 3 1/2 stars worth.I did notice the emphasis taken off of Angelina Jolie's character in this go-around, like some other viewers. The camera seemed to love the male character just a bit more.I would give this a great review, except the movie dropped just a slight bit for me.MC White said: Just a little bit more than a'iiiiight!	positive
1	Best disney movie of all time	OF ALL TIME. Hilarious without trying to hard. LOVE the horse. LOVE the HORSE!The plot is great, what an AWESOME MOVIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE	positive
1	Jurassic Park III: The Lost Score	Longtime Williams and Davis fans will love this soundtrack!. don't get me wrong The this CD is over all not as good as the first one. the theme in track 1,2,12,15 This is probably one of the greatest themes that Williams has done. If you want a good theme,there is no better soundtrack to get by Don Davis. This is one fantastic CD. The track 2, is awesome masterpiece of music. It has plenty of cool themes. I hate track 16, "Big Hat no Cattle"... it sucks!, come on! not on a Jurassic Park soundtrack. but if you don't have Jurassic Park get it first. If you get JP first you enjoy JP3 alot more.	positive
0	borrow from your friend first...	I am suprised that so many are impressed by this cd based on their reviews. Everyone has their own taste, but this album sounds just like Nine Inch Nails. Imitation is not flattering; in this case it is quite replusive, unimaginative, and boring. Invest your money on something else, you deserve better.	negative
1	Great Backround Speakers	Wanted additional speakers to work with a currently owned 900MHz speaker set, both sets now communicate on 900MHz transmitter.Neat little speakers but only good for low to medium volume don't expect these to rock the house!	positive
1	salisbury 1971 is great!	This album was released in London 1971. The track Lady in black is a excellent ballad, Time to live is a good moody psychedelic heavy rock. Bird of prey is absolutely a heavy track. High priestess is a well track.I love this album,.........Uriah Heep is also a good band to compare with their contemporary bands in the golden 70's.	positive
1	Probably my least favorite hp book	This was a great read in all, but took way too long to get interesting. Too much teenage mush. It seems more than half the book was dedicated to the whole Ron and Hermione love story. Plus I felt that if I had to read the word "snogging" one more time I might hurl. Same goes for the Harry loves Ginny storyline. IMO Ginny's character was never really developed enough to warrant this amount of attention from Harry. Who really cares if they get together or not? The end battle was certainly dramatic, but not rewarding. This book could have been half the length and have been better.	positive
0	kit very old and not needed	just buy the pull-ups. This kit is not needed. The wipes were died out and the coupons expired in dec2006, I got kit in spring 2008.	negative
0	Save your money	Terrible movie. The plot was non existent and the acting was horrible. Just when I thought it couldn't get any worse, Bill Paxton showed up.	negative
1	Life inside the Green Monster!	Growing up in New England and specifically Massachusetts you have the Boston Red Sox baseball team a truly storied franchise with some unforgettable characters, so naturally I rooted for the Oakland A's in the 70's and the Phillies in the 80's. This book is a collections of the some the lighter sides of the Red Sox club.While this 170-page book is not broken down into chapters that have a story line, you get so much more. Filled with stories from Tommy Harper, Don Baylor, Rod Beck, Wade Boggs, Nomar, Pedro, Clemens, Carbo, Ken Harrelson and many, many others.There is stories about Wade Bogg's superstition with the numbers 7 and 17, Dwight Evans games saving catch in the 6th game of the '75 World Series, Dave Henderson's heroics in the 1986 ALCS and many more.For the true Red Sox Fan or the baseball purist of any and all ages, this book, priced under $20.00, is one to have for generations to come. Sports Publishing have hit a grand slam with this one.	positive
0	Hey, it's America	I read this book about 10 years ago, when I was reviewing it for my college newspaper. Our campus bookstore had banned it at the request (demand?) of the university Women's Center. I hated the book and said so in the review but wrote an accompanying editorial in which I chastised the bookstore manager for censoring the book and buckling under pressure from the women's center.Bottom line...the book has no social or literary redeeming value and I can't imagine anyone actually enjoying it. But people will read it (and now, go see the movie) because it's so over-the-top. C'mon...is that really what the 80s were all about?	negative
1	A Good Overview of the Laci Peterson Case	Crier's book is, so far, the best to be written on the subject. Even avid followers of the trial and readers of the transcripts will find much of interest in this book which has not previous come to light. To her credit, Crier also provides a realistic look at all of the main characters in the case.My criticism is that some passages are slightly confused (e.g., present from Scott to Laci with no follow up as to contents), and some things are surprisingly omitted (e.g., allegations of a fight Laci had with another girl in high school). Perhaps it is simply a matter of careless editing and a rush to press. As to the latter, perhaps Crier delved into the allegations and found them to be baseless. She does not deal at all with the surveillance cameras across the street from the Peterson house or possible grand jury proceedings which were obliquely referred to in the course of the case.	positive
1	Not Hi-Fi, but plays records!	This is great little cart for anyone looking to replace their broken one on the cheap. If you listen through normal, everyday cheap-o speakers you shouldn't be able to tell the difference from your mp3s or any other low quality format. However, if you're looking for something truly hi-fi as I now am, you need to go up in sure's line of products to something like this:Shure M97xE High-Performance Magnetic Phono Cartridge:	positive
0	How could I possibly give STAR WARS 1 star???!!!	These are not the movies I've waited for. I thought I was getting the STAR WARS trilogy, but I guess I was mistaken.	negative
1	Great quality printer	PRINTER:I've had this printer for about 2 months now. We use it constantly for printing out projects for home school. The print cartridge life was very impressive. We just finished going through the first high yield black cartridge. I was amazed how long it lasted compared to our Epson; that drank ink!The only draw back is there aren't any generic print cartridges yet, so we are forced to pay the full price for now, that will change over time.SCANNER:I have scanned about 80 images and the scanner works wonderfully as a plugin to photoshop. Easy to understand software. The colors looked great to me. Reproduction was true to life. I used the photos to create a movie photo montage and it turned out beautiful.Overall I am very happy with this printer. Great value!	positive
0	Heavy shipping charge	The product is OK but nothing special. The problem is that Amazon doesn't stock it and passes the purchase to Adorama. Adorama puts an outlandish shipping charge on the simple packet of lens tissues. You would be far better off buying such tissues locally and "carrying" them home.	negative
1	Fantastic series! You won't be disappointed.	If you have not read Sue Grafton's alphabet series try to get a copy of the first one "A is for Alibi" and keep going until you catch up with the latest. Grafton's Kinsey Millhone is someone you will care about. She is so true to life, from her old VW to her handy little black dress that can go from crumpled to fashionable in a jiffy. She is down to earth and efficient but can make mistakes just like the rest of us. She has my vote for top female detective. I usually wait for paperbacks but not for Sue Grafton books!	positive
1	The Silva Mind Control Method	Great book for those who want to have control of their lives and minds instead of someone else.	positive
1	Perfect for charging your motorcycle	This is great for motorcycle batteries. If you are charging a car battery, I'd look for one of the more powerful battery tenders. This is great for any motorcycle, atv, jet ski, etc that sits outside, as the unit is waterproof. I have been using this charger for over 3 years and it has never failed me.	positive
1	Peanut butter is much better...	The texture and flavor are good. They are very filling. These are better than any Slim Fast bar even though the calories are high (290). There's no after taste and no unpset stomach. The are a perfect item for a quick breakfast and should be kept in every desk drawer incase a realxing lunch is not available. These bars are better than anything in a crappy snack machine.	positive
1	Nervous Conditions	Disturbing but honest look at the struggles of identities in the face of colonialism.	positive
1	depeche Mode CD awesome!	I just bought the CD Construction Time Again by dePeche Mode from Amazon. It was delivered promptly with NO problems. The disc was in mint condition. It encouraged me to continue to use Amazon for my media purchases - when I don't just get the mp3s from iTunes, that is. amazon is an amazing site & company who ALWAYS get what I desire to me without issues. Quite probably my favorite site to order things from online, I think!	positive
1	A free book that was enjoyable	This was the first free book that I liked and enjoyed reading. I like arguments of lawyers and how their arguments change the judgement. I liked the legal arguments part of the book. Somethings were too good to be accepted as reality like the daughter loving her mom so much. Overall, I could not keep the book down and continued reading without a break.	positive

1	A True Talent In The Making	After winning American Idol in 2004, it became apparent that Fantasia was bound for success. This single cd, though only three tracks in length, is just a glimmer of the true talent that is to come from Fantasia.The powerful, moving "I Believe", the funky "Chainb of FoolS", and the light, calm "Summertime" all showcase a slwaless star who is bound for much success and greatness in her years to come.	positive
0	Disappointed with product quality and Leapfrog support(lack of)	We ordered this for our 2 year old for Christmas (she loved the single letter one). Christmas day we were greatly saddened to have the device not work properly and the first letter slot incorrectly read a large number of letters. After the weekend we contacted Leapfrog customer service only to have them tell us that this product is no longer replaced if defective. So the product I paid for, that is defective, is no longer to be replaced by them?! Needless to say, I told them what I thought and will never be purchasing a Leapfrog device again, with such poor customer care and with Leapfrog not willing to stand behind what they make. That was very disappointing. BOOOO to Leapfrog!!	negative
1	highly recommend	I am an adult in an adult-only Spanish class & we pass these books around for each other to read even though they are written for a younger audience. It is a great way to build your vocabulary, since they use repetition of words & phrases.	positive
1	Excellent color laser!	This is a very good color printer! It's a bit noisy when compared to an inkjet or even b&w laser but the print quality is excellent. On plain paper (which is what you should use) it is much better than an inkjet for color output. However, since you can't use coated paper, it's not for printing 8x10 photos...my Epson 1280 is still much better for that. Still, for everything except photos, this printer is tops.	positive

As long as you stay with in the right calorie intake you won't have any digestive problems. They have a lot of support on the [...] web sight with both professional staff and other people who are on the program. I would recommend this product to assist in weight loss.	positive
1	A great feel good book!	This book is just alot of fun. Definitely the best of Bly that I have read. The plot is interesting and keeps you guessing. From the mischievous ten-year-old Paco to the mysterious, smooth talking Delnorte, Bly's characters are original and real. You can't help liking them. This book has a sweet love story that doesn't take over the book, as in most christian fictions, but is just enough for you romantics. This book also has amazing dialogue! Bly has a way of making you feel like you are sitting there right beside the character during a conversation. The heroine, Julianna, manages to weave the gospel message into her conversations without making it sound like a sermon. It was a pleasant surprise to read a christian fiction book and not get that deja veu feeling like you had read it before under a different name. In a world of christian fiction dominated by authors like Gilbert Morris this book is a breath of fresh air.	positive
1	The weakest Love Hina story	Keitaro bombed his entrance exam again, and in a fit of depression he runs away. The girls rack him down on a remote desert island. That's pretty much it.I have always really liked Love Hina, but this is the weakest of the series. It has the comedy you would expect, but it's just not as interesting. It definitely doesn't have the impact of of the Christmas special or the series. Even so if you like the Love Hina series then this movie will most likely entertain you.	positive
1	Pete rocks!	If youve never seen Pete Krebs live, you are missing out on one of the most amazing live musical experiences you will ever have. To me, Pete is a more dynamic musician than the oft-compared-to Elliott Smith, with a down-to-earth friendly smile to warm your heart and ever-a funny quip to accompany the tunes. This CD highlights Pete's beautiful voice, particularly on "Powderkeg", and the last track. Such a sweet voice wrenches out my heart and makes me smile inside and out with its honesty and beauty. By far one of the top Pacific Northwest solo artists today. If you like this album, check out his first raw solo album, specifically, the songs "Suction Cup Hearts", and "Shytown". And never miss a show of his if he's in your town!	positive

1	DKNY Classic is best in class !!!	These DKNY classic briefs are normally sold in packs of one or each. They have a different fly arrangement that makes the briefs some of the most comfortable on the market. Sorry to see that they discotinued this sku. The pouch has a pocket that makes is great feel and easy of removal of your business, when needed. The fabric is like brushed cotton, very soft. The rear is a nice fit for those that have the asset to put in the rear area. Found several pair on sale at my local discount clothing store and bought several pair. Well worth the money. They have lasted a couple of years with none of the normal stretching and releasing of elastic. The stitching has also held together nicely. All in all a great pair of briefs and superior quality for the pairs that I have purchased.	positive

0	Fiskar's rolling craft crate	I was very disappointed in the product. I thought it would be more usable than it is. Each pocket that holds the scissors are literally only big enough for the tip of the scissors or a pencil/pen, the other pockets aren't big enough to even hold a 12 pack of colored pencils. I thought it would be great for taking back and forth to my Daisy Girl Scout Meetings but it's not. Who needs 15 pockets for scissors?!! The only great use for this item, which I can see, would be for avid scrapbookers--I think it would be perfect for them!	negative
1	Easy to use and works very well.	I have tried all of those other brands that have fancy names and fancy prices. This Turtle Wax product does the job just as well for less money. The best part is, once it's dry, it comes off very easily. Your car will be shiney and you will be proud.	positive

1	Successfully blends musical styles and does it with panache	Overall, this is a great CD for providing background music for a cocktail party or a bar. Most of the songs have no words, but they incorporate a variety of musical instruments and styles, to create a really laid-back kind of cool.	positive
1	A Tool that works as it should	Having used many brands of pruners through the years I think I have found the perfect tool. Sharp blades, opens and closes effortlessly and the lock close switch does what it should and what more can you ask.	positive

Before the reading the book I had no idea who the Davis family was. I did not even realize we have the Davis Fund as a choice in our 401k at work. The fund has proven returns and been around for years. This was a great book to read for any beginning investor.	positive
1	Nothing Else To Say	1999's "Filth and Dreams" contained the haunting "If I Had the Heart". Six years later, Corinne, Andy and the gang dismiss any thoughts of their being a blip on the screen with "Where Our Love Grows", an album that contains the haunting, beautiful, and very said "When The Laughter Is Over."There is nothing else to say. This is the pinnacle of achievement and I look forward to the next. Nothing, save for a performance of the Elgar Violin Concerto, has ever left me speechless, but "When the Laughter Is Over" did. A triumph.	positive

very fun...light workout for beginners.

Okay I had a lot of fun doing this workout. This dvd is good for a beginner. I am overweight but I have been working out for a couple of months in the gym so I was ready to sweat. The DVD is a lot slower than I expected but I still worked up a sweat because I was so excited to be learning some fun Latin moves. My only down part of the video is the lack of energy from some of the background dancers and the instructor didn't give alot of time to learn moves...luckily for me I took some Salsa and Merengue classes so i had a little dance background that helped. If you are a beginner to working out and extremely overweight this is a perfect dvd...otherwise its a fun home workout when you cant get to the gym.

Fun, interesting, and touching book

I have never really been interested in history for its own sake, but I have often wondered what daily life was like for people who lived in the past. This book, like Catherine, Called Birdy, gives you a lot of insight into medieval life, in my opinion. Can you imagine what it was like to look upon attending a country fair as the pinnacle of fun, to be in awe of people who could read & write, or to be praised for your intelligence because you sleep in a dung heap? But for the most part, Beetle (later called Alyce) is not that much different from modern people: what she really wants is a purpose & a place in the world. I must also mention that the chapter entitled "The Devil" is hilarious and on its own makes this book worth picking up.

They should just drink hemlock

I totally agree with the first 5 reviews before mine. I love to read the reviews to see how many agree with me. I usually find similiarities to my reaction. I too got out my pencil and marked some proofing errors. I bought this at the library book sale for fifty cents and now I can see why. I have read just about everything of Catherine Coulters and can't remember any of them being this bad and unbelievable. She sure likes the word gnarly. She used it countless times to describe the road and also roots on the path. What a hoot.

Thank God it was Free

I initially thought this would be a good book with the right brain/ left brain concept of organization.I did not like the way the author continued to categorize "messies" and "cleanies"- I'm not 9 years old. I fee like she went back & forth between writing for an adult and an elementary school kid. Her tone was somewhat condescending & I quit reading.Glad it was free.

Get Quaked

Quake, when it first arrived in 1996, was a ground-breaking 1st-person shooter. Not because it brought anything more to the table than DOOM in terms of raw gameplay, but because it used a full 3D polygon based engine instead of a sprite-based one. It was also a very moody game, featuring very hellish-looking Gothic environments and a mix of relentless enemies.The N64 version was a straight PC port, the only difference being it lost the online multiplayer options for a 2-person deathmatch. While it was criticzed during initial release for coming 2 years too late, a decade later its nice to have a version of Quake that runs flawlessly when windows XP has made the PC version glitchy or unplayable.If you have an N64, you can relive Quake in all its brutal gothic glory. It's technically dated, but still loads of fun to play. And never try to put the pin back in.

"Magical!"

This game is, in a word, magical! I got it for Christmas and I played it once a few days later, when I loaded it. Since then, I've only got to play it once more because my entire family has been hogging it! The graphics are great, the game plays quickly, and the makers really paid attention to details. Wizard wanna-bes collect Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans, Chocolate Frogs, and Wizard Trading Cards while making their way through challenges. Teachers like Professor Sprout and Professor Flitwick teach spells that are used in the challenges to collect special Challenge Stars, beans, frogs, and cards. There are always hidden secret rooms or passageways to explore that you haven't seen before, and several witches and wizards to talk to. Besides classes, the player, who controls Harry Potter, of course, has to defeat lots of his enemies...I highly reccomend this game. It can be played over and over again and continue to be extremely entertaining every time!

Disappointing. Not appropriate for young children.

I was so disappointed in this book! We love Arthur, but a few lines in this book are totally inappropriate for young children. "[Mr. Ratburn] sleeps in a coffin and drinks human blood." "A big black car drove up. 'Who died?' said Francine. 'Maybe Mr. Ratburn!' said Arthur." This story is about lying and cheating. These lines could have been changed to more appropriate language and the moral of the book would not have been affected at all.

Disappointing!

Such profound material . . I was wondering how he would end it and as far as I am concerned, he was wondering too. For all the puzzle-solving, intellectual highballing that he puts into his characters, at the end, nothing. It was a page turner, and I only wish there was something of substance as I turned to the last page.

This dog walks two steps and backflips and every once in a while it even manages to land on its feet. Adjusting the flip tension is useless.

Rip Off

This product worked well for awhile, and the prints continue to be clear. The problem is that even though I don't mind feeding the sheets of paper into the dock one at a time (due to limitless paper jams), I run out of ink before running out of paper. I keep the dock plugged in at all times, so that's not the problem. If I could buy the cartridges separately from the paper I would be okay with feeding the paper manually, but here I sit with 50 sheets of paper and an empty cartridge. What a rip off!

Geez! I didn't know the human body held that much blood!

"'A-Team' style action where nobody gets hurt?" Indeed not! That was true enough of the cartoon series, but how come nobody mentioned the near-death scene of Duke? (A scene which looked like it was going to be an actual death, but somebody changed their mind--look how it's animated and think about it. Duke was supposed to die!) And for gosh sakes, the blood! There was more blood coming out of that stab wound than is humanly possible! I am not kidding here! Those who have seen it know! Another character is stabbed in the eye in a later scene (though without the blood--they used all the plasma on Duke's stabbing, apparently). The "family oriented" nature of the film was betrayed by these scenes.

You get what you pay for...

After my dog chewed through the power cord for my Toshiba laptop, I tried a cheap out in buying this product ($25 v. $140). The lack of the Underwriters Laboratories seal should have been a warning sign. After only a month of no extraordinary use, the wiring has been exposed due to peeling of brittle plastic on both ends of the adapter and near the plug head. I can tell you that the internal wires are blue, pink, and a yellow/green ground. However, the cord does work; mine is now being shielded in about five yards of electrical tape.

Great for tango fanatics but maybe not for others

This movie did have some great music and a few very interesting dance scenes, but overall comes across as a slow moving art film with not much of a story line. And, if you don't speak Spanish you'll have to pay attention to the subtitles or you'll lose track of what little plot there is.For those who have invested much of their lives in dance, and tango in particular, this is likely a very enjoyable movie. However, if you're just a first time tango lesson taker, or a non-dancer, you might find this movie tedious to sit through and you might be tempted to hit the fast-forward button.

For BALLET dancers

I found the advice given in this book to be simple common sense, In other words, I have that so I should have used it to flip through the pages and see I did not need this book! Also, it is directed only at ballet dancers- I am a jazz dancer(though I study ballet as well). Still, I felt discounted. Dance describes so many diferrent genres. The title should have specified it's focus.

This thing makes too much noise.

The little men got lost within a week of getting this toy. My son now uses army men to play with it. I won't let him turn it on because it makes so much noise that you can hear it all over the house and that vibrating noise makes my teeth hurt! The board itself has stood up well; it's been left outside and rained on and it still works. However, like I said it is noisy and it is hard to figure out how to play it by the rules. I bought my son a rug that looks like a football field and he uses his WWE action figures to create football games. It keeps him involved for hours and is a lot less noisy!

Tales Have Good Surprise Endings

I ended up liking this DVD because each story have a surprise ending that makes the story satisfying and suspense along the way was worth it. Victoria Principal looks fabulous, for someone not in her 20s or 30s (though I don't know how old she's here), and I had hoped to see some nudity but there wasn't any. But she did pretty good being leading role in each tale.

Funny, imaginative

The Wide-mouthed Frog is a wonderfully illustrated pop-up book, with great, detailed pop-ups. The story is simple: a wide-mouthed frog states what he eats and asks other denizens of the swamp what they eat, until he comes upon an alligator who eats... Well, the wide-mouthed frog becomes a small-mouthed frog and leaves with a big spalsh, which always elicts a laugh. This book is full of teaching possibilities, wonderful artistic details to pour over and a funny, simple story told in a great way.

as expected

I can't really say much about the product in either regard. It serves its purpose but it doesn't hold up to some of the larger method books on the market. Also on the plus side, this stand is quite inexpensive so if you're looking for an emergency back up, this will more than suffice. If you're buying a stand for the first time I would recommend it purely because of the price point. There are much better products out on the market, but there are certainly far worse.

Falls short of expectations

This product gave the expectation of real, low level astronomical exploration for my son. Unfortunately, it's difficult to focus precisely, and rather fragile. The viewing eyepiece has too few threads to attach it to the telescope and stripped after just three or four removals and re-attachments. The various lenses could never be set up to really view the heavens. The whole thing turned out rather lame.

Very Disappointed

I thought I was going to love this router and all my computers would share a faster single. Well it didn't work out like that I had to reinstall it 3 times on my main coputer and it still didn't work and to make matters worst after i added and rebooted the third time my hard drive crashed now I have to send off for a restore disc. My laptop can still get the signal but the router stops sending basically when it wants to so I lose my connection in the middle of work and can't get it back up for sometimes hours. My other belkin routers work like a dream and this is a nightmare. I've lost everything off my other comp and this one I'm afraid is not far behind. I don't know if I'll ever buy another belkin product.

inexplicably good

I'm afraid this is one of those films that you just have to see. No attempt at paraphrase or rhetoric can add to what's already there on the screen. You might want to talk about the technical features, the lack of music, the point of view shots in the car, the beautifully desolate views of the hills around Tehran,the ambiguity of the ending - it's all just noise in my opinion. This film (like any other of true quality) is not what people say about it. It's to be experienced. You have a feeling of being taken somewhere else for 95 minutes, even though the realist feel should rightfully keep you grounded - somehow it has an element which uplifts you. I was extremely happy and alive for the rest of the day after seeing this - perhaps surprising considering the subject matter. I don't know anything about Mr Kiarostami (aside from his reputation) or the actors involved, but I am so glad I watched this film and look forward eagerly to see another of his.

Tradgic Sellout

I bought this CD for one song, and other than that one song and two others, everything else was really bad. Most of the songs in this CD were so wierd that I thought "what the hell is she siging about." Also there were the lyrics. The lyrics in some of these songs made the lyrics from "The Transplants" sound good, and these weren't even about dead people and drugs. The only songs that I found good were "Unsung," "Paint it Black," and the chart topping hit "A Thousand Miles." Other songs like "Pretty Baby" and "Ordinary Day" were just plain stupid. Really consider buying this CD before you buy it.

Film came different from picture and type

I ordered 600 Platinum Film from Ace Photo and Digital. The picture showed Polaroid Platinum Film and this was written on the order form but when the film arrived it was just the plain 600 instant film. I would not have paid more money if I knew it was the regular film. It seems like false advertising. When I called the company they said that Polaroid stopped making that type of film and that it is basically the same film. I am really unsatisfied. I would have just gone to Target and bought it for the same film. They offered me a 10% refund. Don't be tricked if you think you're getting something different than the regular film.

Not the same soundtrack as the VHS tape! A disappointment!

I have a copy of the original Vestron VHS videotape I acquired in the 80s. I just bought the Australian DVD. The soundtrack on the tape is hysterical, the language is raunchy and it's a very entertaining movie. For example, the voice of the dragon sounds a lot like Bill Murray (but isn't), the wild boar has a distinct pompous Scottish accent and the teradactyl has a Chris Tucker style accent. The whole film is humorously narrated by Stewie and it has a killer rock & roll soundtrack. The DVD is completely different. There no narration, no rock and roll and very drab, boring dialog. The picture quality leaves a lot to be desired too. Save your money and hope for a future US re-release, maybe by Anchor Bay, who owns a good part of the now defunct Vestron video collection.

Disappointed

This book was a let-down from what was expected. It was a book only really explaining the basic theory. Most of which a competant sysadmin knows already - Large arrows pointing out what an RJ45 port looks like on a computer for example. This was contrasted by the fact that over 1/8th of the book is C sourcecode.The technology discussed, both hardware and software seems out of date: does anyone still use a liunx 2.0.30 kernel?Overall, the book was far too superficial and lacking in practical aspects of building a cluster and the availability of any software out there to help you.

Very Sweeeeeet! God I love Angelina!

3 1/2 Stars only (Amazon won't let us 1/2 our stars)This movie was definitely cool for me. I am a superfine Videogame freak-a-holic, and the Lora Croft Franchise is no exception for me. While I have never had the patience or time to play all the way through even one of her videogames, I have enjoyed immensely, what I have played.Therefore I had a little bit higher of plateau of entertainment expectations. This movie definitely satisfied those expectations. 3 1/2 stars worth.I did notice the emphasis taken off of Angelina Jolie's character in this go-around, like some other viewers. The camera seemed to love the male character just a bit more.I would give this a great review, except the movie dropped just a slight bit for me.MC White said: Just a little bit more than a'iiiiight!

Jurassic Park III: The Lost Score

Longtime Williams and Davis fans will love this soundtrack!. don't get me wrong The this CD is over all not as good as the first one. the theme in track 1,2,12,15 This is probably one of the greatest themes that Williams has done. If you want a good theme,there is no better soundtrack to get by Don Davis. This is one fantastic CD. The track 2, is awesome masterpiece of music. It has plenty of cool themes. I hate track 16, "Big Hat no Cattle"... it sucks!, come on! not on a Jurassic Park soundtrack. but if you don't have Jurassic Park get it first. If you get JP first you enjoy JP3 alot more.

borrow from your friend first...

I am suprised that so many are impressed by this cd based on their reviews. Everyone has their own taste, but this album sounds just like Nine Inch Nails. Imitation is not flattering; in this case it is quite replusive, unimaginative, and boring. Invest your money on something else, you deserve better.

salisbury 1971 is great!

This album was released in London 1971. The track Lady in black is a excellent ballad, Time to live is a good moody psychedelic heavy rock. Bird of prey is absolutely a heavy track. High priestess is a well track.I love this album,.........Uriah Heep is also a good band to compare with their contemporary bands in the golden 70's.

Probably my least favorite hp book

This was a great read in all, but took way too long to get interesting. Too much teenage mush. It seems more than half the book was dedicated to the whole Ron and Hermione love story. Plus I felt that if I had to read the word "snogging" one more time I might hurl. Same goes for the Harry loves Ginny storyline. IMO Ginny's character was never really developed enough to warrant this amount of attention from Harry. Who really cares if they get together or not? The end battle was certainly dramatic, but not rewarding. This book could have been half the length and have been better.

Life inside the Green Monster!

Growing up in New England and specifically Massachusetts you have the Boston Red Sox baseball team a truly storied franchise with some unforgettable characters, so naturally I rooted for the Oakland A's in the 70's and the Phillies in the 80's. This book is a collections of the some the lighter sides of the Red Sox club.While this 170-page book is not broken down into chapters that have a story line, you get so much more. Filled with stories from Tommy Harper, Don Baylor, Rod Beck, Wade Boggs, Nomar, Pedro, Clemens, Carbo, Ken Harrelson and many, many others.There is stories about Wade Bogg's superstition with the numbers 7 and 17, Dwight Evans games saving catch in the 6th game of the '75 World Series, Dave Henderson's heroics in the 1986 ALCS and many more.For the true Red Sox Fan or the baseball purist of any and all ages, this book, priced under $20.00, is one to have for generations to come. Sports Publishing have hit a grand slam with this one.

Hey, it's America

I read this book about 10 years ago, when I was reviewing it for my college newspaper. Our campus bookstore had banned it at the request (demand?) of the university Women's Center. I hated the book and said so in the review but wrote an accompanying editorial in which I chastised the bookstore manager for censoring the book and buckling under pressure from the women's center.Bottom line...the book has no social or literary redeeming value and I can't imagine anyone actually enjoying it. But people will read it (and now, go see the movie) because it's so over-the-top. C'mon...is that really what the 80s were all about?

A Good Overview of the Laci Peterson Case

Crier's book is, so far, the best to be written on the subject. Even avid followers of the trial and readers of the transcripts will find much of interest in this book which has not previous come to light. To her credit, Crier also provides a realistic look at all of the main characters in the case.My criticism is that some passages are slightly confused (e.g., present from Scott to Laci with no follow up as to contents), and some things are surprisingly omitted (e.g., allegations of a fight Laci had with another girl in high school). Perhaps it is simply a matter of careless editing and a rush to press. As to the latter, perhaps Crier delved into the allegations and found them to be baseless. She does not deal at all with the surveillance cameras across the street from the Peterson house or possible grand jury proceedings which were obliquely referred to in the course of the case.

This is great little cart for anyone looking to replace their broken one on the cheap. If you listen through normal, everyday cheap-o speakers you shouldn't be able to tell the difference from your mp3s or any other low quality format. However, if you're looking for something truly hi-fi as I now am, you need to go up in sure's line of products to something like this:Shure M97xE High-Performance Magnetic Phono Cartridge:

Great quality printer

PRINTER:I've had this printer for about 2 months now. We use it constantly for printing out projects for home school. The print cartridge life was very impressive. We just finished going through the first high yield black cartridge. I was amazed how long it lasted compared to our Epson; that drank ink!The only draw back is there aren't any generic print cartridges yet, so we are forced to pay the full price for now, that will change over time.SCANNER:I have scanned about 80 images and the scanner works wonderfully as a plugin to photoshop. Easy to understand software. The colors looked great to me. Reproduction was true to life. I used the photos to create a movie photo montage and it turned out beautiful.Overall I am very happy with this printer. Great value!

Heavy shipping charge

The product is OK but nothing special. The problem is that Amazon doesn't stock it and passes the purchase to Adorama. Adorama puts an outlandish shipping charge on the simple packet of lens tissues. You would be far better off buying such tissues locally and "carrying" them home.

Fantastic series! You won't be disappointed.

If you have not read Sue Grafton's alphabet series try to get a copy of the first one "A is for Alibi" and keep going until you catch up with the latest. Grafton's Kinsey Millhone is someone you will care about. She is so true to life, from her old VW to her handy little black dress that can go from crumpled to fashionable in a jiffy. She is down to earth and efficient but can make mistakes just like the rest of us. She has my vote for top female detective. I usually wait for paperbacks but not for Sue Grafton books!

This is great for motorcycle batteries. If you are charging a car battery, I'd look for one of the more powerful battery tenders. This is great for any motorcycle, atv, jet ski, etc that sits outside, as the unit is waterproof. I have been using this charger for over 3 years and it has never failed me.

The texture and flavor are good. They are very filling. These are better than any Slim Fast bar even though the calories are high (290). There's no after taste and no unpset stomach.

This was the first free book that I liked and enjoyed reading. I like arguments of lawyers and how their arguments change the judgement. I liked the legal arguments part of the book.

After winning American Idol in 2004, it became apparent that Fantasia was bound for success.

Disappointed with product quality and Leapfrog support(lack of)

We ordered this for our 2 year old for Christmas (she loved the single letter one). Christmas day we were greatly saddened to have the device not work properly and the first letter slot incorrectly read a large number of letters. After the weekend we contacted Leapfrog customer service only to have them tell us that this product is no longer replaced if defective. So the product I paid for, that is defective, is no longer to be replaced by them?! Needless to say, I told them what I thought and will never be purchasing a Leapfrog device again, with such poor customer care and with Leapfrog not willing to stand behind what they make. That was very disappointing. BOOOO to Leapfrog!!

Excellent color laser!

This is a very good color printer! It's a bit noisy when compared to an inkjet or even b&w laser but the print quality is excellent. On plain paper (which is what you should use) it is much better than an inkjet for color output. However, since you can't use coated paper, it's not for printing 8x10 photos...my Epson 1280 is still much better for that. Still, for everything except photos, this printer is tops.

A great feel good book!

This book is just alot of fun. Definitely the best of Bly that I have read. The plot is interesting and keeps you guessing. From the mischievous ten-year-old Paco to the mysterious, smooth talking Delnorte, Bly's characters are original and real. You can't help liking them. This book has a sweet love story that doesn't take over the book, as in most christian fictions, but is just enough for you romantics. This book also has amazing dialogue! Bly has a way of making you feel like you are sitting there right beside the character during a conversation. The heroine, Julianna, manages to weave the gospel message into her conversations without making it sound like a sermon. It was a pleasant surprise to read a christian fiction book and not get that deja veu feeling like you had read it before under a different name. In a world of christian fiction dominated by authors like Gilbert Morris this book is a breath of fresh air.

The weakest Love Hina story

Keitaro bombed his entrance exam again, and in a fit of depression he runs away. The girls rack him down on a remote desert island. That's pretty much it.I have always really liked Love Hina, but this is the weakest of the series. It has the comedy you would expect, but it's just not as interesting. It definitely doesn't have the impact of of the Christmas special or the series. Even so if you like the Love Hina series then this movie will most likely entertain you.

Pete rocks!

If youve never seen Pete Krebs live, you are missing out on one of the most amazing live musical experiences you will ever have. To me, Pete is a more dynamic musician than the oft-compared-to Elliott Smith, with a down-to-earth friendly smile to warm your heart and ever-a funny quip to accompany the tunes. This CD highlights Pete's beautiful voice, particularly on "Powderkeg", and the last track. Such a sweet voice wrenches out my heart and makes me smile inside and out with its honesty and beauty. By far one of the top Pacific Northwest solo artists today. If you like this album, check out his first raw solo album, specifically, the songs "Suction Cup Hearts", and "Shytown". And never miss a show of his if he's in your town!

DKNY Classic is best in class !!!

These DKNY classic briefs are normally sold in packs of one or each. They have a different fly arrangement that makes the briefs some of the most comfortable on the market. Sorry to see that they discotinued this sku. The pouch has a pocket that makes is great feel and easy of removal of your business, when needed. The fabric is like brushed cotton, very soft. The rear is a nice fit for those that have the asset to put in the rear area. Found several pair on sale at my local discount clothing store and bought several pair. Well worth the money. They have lasted a couple of years with none of the normal stretching and releasing of elastic. The stitching has also held together nicely. All in all a great pair of briefs and superior quality for the pairs that I have purchased.

Fiskar's rolling craft crate

I was very disappointed in the product. I thought it would be more usable than it is. Each pocket that holds the scissors are literally only big enough for the tip of the scissors or a pencil/pen, the other pockets aren't big enough to even hold a 12 pack of colored pencils. I thought it would be great for taking back and forth to my Daisy Girl Scout Meetings but it's not. Who needs 15 pockets for scissors?!! The only great use for this item, which I can see, would be for avid scrapbookers--I think it would be perfect for them!

Nothing Else To Say

1999's "Filth and Dreams" contained the haunting "If I Had the Heart". Six years later, Corinne, Andy and the gang dismiss any thoughts of their being a blip on the screen with "Where Our Love Grows", an album that contains the haunting, beautiful, and very said "When The Laughter Is Over."There is nothing else to say. This is the pinnacle of achievement and I look forward to the next. Nothing, save for a performance of the Elgar Violin Concerto, has ever left me speechless, but "When the Laughter Is Over" did.
