worth the money

I bought this version of the pimsleur quick and simple. I was concerned that it would be difficult to learn from the cds as I am a visual learner but there is enough repitition that i am understanding and retaining most of the material. On occasion I have difficulty discerning the difference between the feminine and masculine versions of some words (a visual vocabulary list would be helpful). I still can't say the hebrew word for Isaiah -- but could carry on a fairly good conversation without that word.Don't listen to amazon's recommendation and get this coupled with the pimsleur conversational modern hebrew... I would buy one or the other. The first 8 of 16 lessons in the "red box" are exactly the same as those in this product (the blue box). I would just get the red box personally as I found the system works for me.good luck with it. :)

Worked really well
|
I was in France for three months and I needed this convertor. I can't say that I know a lot about converters, but this worked perfectly. I never had problems nor did I need more than just one. I was very please with this. I'm sure that not much could go wrong, but I'm used to electronics not doing what they're supposed to do. I was very happy that I never experienced any problems with this.

Immense task, tackled well
|
The immensity of the struggle on the Eastern Front means that to do it justice, one would need many books of this size. Realizing the limitations of time and space, I think this is as close as we're going to get to a good overview. If you are interested in the Great Patriotic War, you must read this book and Kiev 1941.

Good Movie
|
I was a kid when Transformers were all the rage; I had most of their toys of course & always watched the cartoons and so when they first came out with these live movies of the Transformers I was quite hesitant to even give them a shot to be honest with you but after watching parts 1 & 2 I have to say they did a pretty good job so far. The one thing that always irks me though is how far they deviated with many of the classic characters. For instance with Bumble Bee being a sports car instead of a Volkswagen Bug, Megatron not looking anything like the original, etc. Things like that bother me greatly but I try to overlook them to enjoy the movie as it is and they do a good job. I will say the effects are phenomenal and the designers deserve a huge amount of credit for making all of the transformations appear so smoothly and with such detail.

The usual Anti-Catholic diatribe
|
I remember Ron Rhodes on the Bible Answer Man radio show. He's the one that got me exploring the Catholic faith. His reasoning from the scriptures should really be reasoning with other evangelicals about Catholicism. My only regret is that it is too light of a book to use as a door stop.

Great little camera
|
I bought this for my 14 year old son. He wanted a camera that also took decent video. After researching lots of brands, I purchased this small camera/camcorder (it fits in the palm of your hand). He loves it. The pictures are better than my Hp camera and he recently was in Godspell and my video camera wasn't working, so I recorded an one hour+ performance (we bought a bigger memory card)with no problem. Some of the video was blurry, but that was because I was over 100 feet from the stage and using the zoom with no tripod - but overall, great. It really is very easy to use, and takes great pictures. My son is looking forward to recording our trip to Rome this Summer with his new camera. I highly recommend this for beginners!

Arrived 3 days after latest mentioned date.I know it's bratty to expect something to be guaranteed,but I'm a college student and I needed this pretty badly.Said it'd take from a week to three,but it took like a month or so.And to think I'd have gotten it shipped faster had I been home-- which is 5000+ miles farther away from Hawaii,and on an obscure island too.I usually get it a week later back home in Saipan.I don't know really, but if you expect to get your stuff as fast, I say order as soon as possible..and be very,very patient.

Not impressed....
|
I'm sorry people this movie was boring to me. I purchase it as an xmas gift for my brother without ever having watched it. I was going by what a coworker told me, that it was really good, one of the best. The movie is just really quiet, no one ever talks. It's so unrealistic, when was the last time a road rage driver followed you for 30 minutes or more? Hardly. They might follow you 5 or 10 minutes but most will just pass you and be like, 'C' Yah'.The whole movie is just about some trucker, whom you never see his face, who apparently gets enraged by the driver having cut him off or driving too slow and he follows him throughout the movie. I think the best part was at the end when the truck flipped, blood spilled from the side of the truck, you knew the driver had died or was hurt seriously, but even better, the movie was ending.

Dissapointed
|
I bought this book, because of its title and was really disappointed. I assumed that it would be about "charmed" as it's tille suggests "Charmed companion guide" But I was seriously wrong. I know many of You are interested in being a wiccan like the Halliwell Sisters, I am not, i just enjoy the show, and was completly uninterested in the book, execpt for the last like 20 pages, where the episode guide is. I Think the book makes fun of "Charmed", For not being completly realilstic in the magic but made fun of the actresses, and had only negative things to say about the show. However if your into witchcraft then this is a practical book, but otherwise save your money. They shouldn't have misleading titles on stuff.

Most Energetic Live Release to Date
|
The fifth live release from the Dave Matthews Band, "Live in Chicago at the United Center 12.19.98", contains some of the best live material the band has ever released officially. Songs like "Too Much", "Jimi Thing", "Rapunzel", and "All Along The Watchtower" have never sounded this good. Tim Reynolds, session guitar god, adds a sharp edge to all of the tracks, especially the "So Much To Say" ---> "Too Much" medley. However, some flaws include the opening cut "The Last Stop" and a badly overplayed version of "Stay" without the lovely ladies. DMB still turns out their best live release to date, better than Live at Red Rocks.

Love hearing everyone say "I want one"

I really didn't think I would want something like this. I'm more of a computer gamer.Once I saw the screen quality I know that Sony didn't just make this as a 1 time deal.Watching a movie on the screen is fantastic. I sometimes have a lunch hour or a plane ride that is just boring.Heres some advice. Go to places like Gamestop or other game store. There are tons of used movies and games. Even though Spiderman2 wasn't new in the package it was new to me and 1/2 price.Get a carrying case. I don't like leaving it in the car in case you get broken into. and get either a car charger or a charger for work. The battery lasts a long time but needs 2 hours to charge.the discs are small so get a case that fits the unit and the disc's.

NOT a "visual" documentary
|
I am changing my vote of 2 stars to 4 stars because since writing the initial review, Amazon has changed the book's description which now DOES accurately reflect the content. If you are looking for a chronological and factual time line of MJ's achievements and the size and quality of photos are not that important to you, then this is the book to get. If you are looking for a good VISUAL accounting of MJ's career and achievements, then this is NOT the book for you. Many of the photos in this book I have seen in other publications (print and web) so do not understand why this book was unable to reproduce all high quality photos. Thus, the 4 stars instead of 5.

Hilarious! Ten Stars!

Finding Nemo is the greatest Disney movie of all time. I reccomend buying it, because you'll keep on laughing, no matter how many times you watch it. Dory, one of the main characters, really makes Finding Nemo sparkle. She's witty, hilarious, and her short term memory loss makes her really something to laugh about. From reading all of the other high rated reviews, you probably already know what the movie is about, I'm just here to tell you how great it is.

Product was unacceptable. Misleading by omission
|
I purchased this sound card based on recommendations and glamorous reports by users of the previous , discontinued version. The product was hyped in the Adversisements, but failed to note that it had eliminated a basic functionality. This is one which allows mixing, known as "What You Hear" or Stereo Mix.The manufactures only response, after repeated attempts to correct the problem was-This is a low end product and you might want to upgrade, with no assurance that the more expensive sound card would work as well as the older less expensive sound card.Sound Blaster owners BEWARE, Do not upgrade to the newer product. It is a Sham unless you want loud sound for Playing Childish Games on line.

I'm shocked!
|
I'm shocked by the lack of proofreading. It's easy enough to check how names are spelled, but instead of "Kyle MacLachlan," Halperin comes out with "Kyle McClaughlin" (pg. 34). Instead of "Rande Gerber," we get "Randy Gerber" (pg. 29). And WHO is "Giorgio Ferrari"? Someone who dresses cars? (pg. 31) Could the author mean Gianfranco Ferre? Who knows. But when an author can't be bothered to check that he has names spelled correctly, I suspect the rest of his research is sloppy too. Very disappointing.

Enjoyable

I enjoyed "Isard's Revenge" more than some of the other books in the X-Wing series. The characters don't self-analyze as much, so the reading is much smoother. People still come back from the dead (not a spoiler, look at the title), which I think is highly annoying. It works a little better here than it has in some other instances, maybe because we're in on it.The Gavin/Asyr relationship takes off with Fey'lya harping on Asyr's back. I'm not a huge fan of human-alien romances, unless the alien is very humanoid. However, the dynamics here is incredible and worth internal suppression of my ickiness meter.I liked the Rogue Squadron/Isard twist. Lots of plot twists, and Admiral Ackbar in battle is always wonderful to read. I was not hanging on every word, but it was good. So far, of the X-Wing series, only "Krytos Trap" ranks higher -- my humble opinion, of course.

Absolutely great binoculars. Exceptionally bright image and great contrast. Close focus 1,8 meter = perfect for insects and butterflies. Robust quality, including 4 lens covers for all the lenses.Shopping at Amazon went perfect. Binoculars took 5 days to arrive, so please be not misleaded by "Usually ships in 1-2 business days from OutdoorSuperStore". This means that outdoorsuperstore will start processing your order after amazon noticed them that they had succesfully charged your creditcard, which usually takes 1 or 2 days. Outdoorsuperstore then will send the product which will take, depending on the shipping method, another few days...Summarized: I am completely satisfied, transaction went smooth, delivery took a bit longer due to my misunderstanding of the shipping details, and the product arrived in perfect state!

Too small!

I bought this without looking at the product in a store beforehand. My poor cat could barely fit in it. While she did her best and didn't have any accidents, I couldn't bear to watch her contort so she could do her business. An extra-large would have been better. She is not a gigantic cat, but she is not a small kitten either. I was also dipleased with the thin plastic. In addition the liners didn't fit well ... rectangular liners for a round product are not a good idea. All in all, this was a waste of money. I sighed as I threw it in the garbage.

Housing Professionals Be Warned--This Book Stinks!
|
I was so happy to see that someone had finally written a book about life as a live-in professional in college residence halls. And then I wasted my money on Wendy Edmond's memoir. Even if I ignored the fact that there are at least 10 or more spelling and/or grammatical errors on every page, I wouldn't be able to get past Edmond's style, which sounds as though a first-grader wrote it. Working as a housing professional is a challenging, unique job, and any attempt that Edmond has made to share it with the world is overshadowed by her horrific prose. Don't spend the money !

Binding Fell Apart Immediately
|
I purchased three copies of this book to give away at a children's event at my library. When I opened the front covers of each of them, the covers ripped away from the pages. This can happen to books over years of use, but should never happen with a brand new book. The pages must have been improperly glued to the cover. This is shoddy bookmaking and a real disappointment. Since all three copies of this book had problems with the binding, there is probably something wrong with the bulk of Amazon's copies. Therefore I would urge parents thinking about buying this for Christmas to go to a brick and mortar bookstore to make sure they're getting a well made book.

A great unique product that works!

We bought this ice cream ball to use camping. It came in the mail today so we made our first batch of ice cream! What a kick! The only negative is that I wish it made more....I hear they have a larger one....the mega that we may look into. Our five year old stayed interested the whole time, so I didn't get to shake and roll it the whole time, and after 15-20 minutes the ice cream tasted like delicous soft serve! One tip... make sure you scrape down the sides within the first 10 minutes to get the best consistency. I definately think this was worth the $$$. You get your work out making your ice cream... so it is a little bit guilt free!

Lives in denial
|
Having read most books on Krishnamurti, I would give this book only two stars. Lutyens decided not to disclose the extent of the personal relationship even though by her own admission she knew about it from Krishnamurti himself. To that extent Sloss is accurate. However, Sloss is living in complete denial by not acknowledging either the culpability of her father who was a court established embezzler of public funds, not to mention her mother who was a married woman at the time she began her relationship with Krishnamurti. There are some other allegations against Krishnamurti as well but the lack of any objective evidence indicates they are likely a projection of personal bitterness. Sloss has certainly not helped her credibility by waiting for several years after Krishnamurti's death to go public with her version of events that took place many decades earlier.

Not as corny as you're expecting...

This book had some fabulous advice and insight in the first few chapters. After that, it got to be a bit much and I did stop reading. However, there are some key points that are very helpful to deciphering why your baby is crying. Once you can do that and understand your baby's needs, your anxiety around the crying will diminish. I had a few pages that I bookmarked and continuously referenced, and made those first few months as a new mother a lot more comfortable for both of us.

Hot, really
|
I give it 5 stars because I couldn't ding it down to 4.5. It is a quality Apple product--i.e. works smoothly and the interface is beautiful. It actually runs hot--not that this matters, really. I could complain about the lack of record capability, but I use my computer to obtain, store, and organize most media now. This is as it should be, I suppose. As the device runs OS X and you can hack it to do additional things... Also, Apple periodically unleashes more functionality by pushing software updates to it. (It does YouTube now. I see Apple is under enormous pressure to placate large media owners/studios, wish to deny us that final bit of freedom to record broadcast tv.) So I won't get rid of my TiVo just yet, but seeing Apple advancing the field makes me want to.

I don't mind that it's low to the ground, but the chair is very cheaply made. At a local store it wouldn't sell for more than $10. The bar under your legs in painful. Mine came with the armrests all nicked up. It's difficult to adjust the reclining position. It's heavier than described. Also, it's kinda painful to carry on your back because of lack of padding.

I am an avid ps2 gamer. I purchased this from a local store because of its apparent convenience. Was I ever wrong. The device has a battery indicator on it with 4 bars. When the batteries go down to 3 bars, I have a very sporadic connection to my ps2 (my ps2 is only 10ft away). After a while of playing Everquest Online, this became very annoying and inconvenient. After a month, I ditched this and bought a cable extender. Another expensive lesson. :(

Since day one...this guitar will not stay in tune. We sent it out for a professional set up...which you shouldn't have to do on a beginner guitar, and was told there is no hope for this thing. The frets are sharp, and will slice your fingers. Shame on Fender. I can tell you the next level guitar will not be a Fender-they have no pride in what they sell under their name brand. There are other companies that make a far better starter guitar kit....stay away from this one.

Great love story, bad writing.
|
I loved the ensuing love story, but that's about as far as it goes. It's Meyer's first novel and it shows in her writing. It needs a lot more description of the characters and surroundings. Edward Cullen does not have any faults and this gives him an unfair advantage against his opponent because you're always wondering how he can every lose when he can freely read people's minds without any side-effects. Two stars, but only because I LOVED the love-story and I think Meyer's can write some good romance.

You call this a thriller!?
|
This was probably the cheapest, weakest, most pathetic attempt at a thriller I've run across, and I wouldn't be surprised if DeMille just dashed this off simply to earn a paycheck. Some demented right-winger decides he's going to decisively win the War On Terror back during the pre-game hysteria for Iraq by framing Islam for his own nuking of LA and San Francisco, which will also somehow help the nation "regain lost honor" by scaring the Vietnamese government into surrendering to us, and our alleged hero John Corey and his wife are too busy having a romantic working weekend in Long Island to notice. The villain practically advertises his intentions to Corey at every possible turn, but Corey would rather complain about France's refusal to join the Coalition Of The Willing to notice. Don't just save your money, save your time and leave this on the shelf in the library rather than reading it.

Then I think it's awesome how you had a contest like this one, letting young readers such as myself use their imaginations and actually have a shot at writing a book worthy of being on the same shelf as your other masterpieces! I think this book was good considering you didn't write it! I mean, a lot of people didn't like this book because they were expecting something as original and creative as your first one and like all your other amazing stories. But I, for one, think that this book was good overall. Very different. I love all your books, I've read almost all of them--My mother won't buy me anymore at the moment because she says I have to finish the ones I have first--and they're all excellent! Cheers to you!

Good software for low price

There are lots of RCS prediction softwares avaliable in the market. This book with the RCS prediction software is very cheap compared to the others. For educational purposes the aircraft models included in the CD are enough. But, for research purposes, there is a problem of converting your own model from your favorite 3D modelling software (ACAD, Rhino, etc.) to the format that this RCS prediction software uses.

Cool doll...and it comes with a cd
|
First of all, it really has no educational value unless you count that reminder of having to put things together for a Barbie after not doing it for about 10 years.Also, I'm not really playing with the doll all that much. Okay, not at all. It's sitting on a shelf that has my *NSYNC marionettes. It looks like it'd be fun, though.Oh, and each of the #1 fans comes with a different cd remix of an *NSYNC single.Very cool.I definitely recommend this to other *NSYNC fans and to the parents of *NSYNC fans and little girls who just want to have fun playing with Barbie dolls. I know I would've loved this just as when I was young enough to play with the dolls.

The Emperor has no F'in Clothes.

This is yet another example of the indie media fawning adulation over a depressed vacuum of talent that is able to somehow express their banal identities with, sadly enough, some accuracy. Craft, wit, and genius that draws from practiced and quality influences with some staying power are completely absent in this woman's music. Catpower is the perfect soundtrack for the mediocre, Kevin Costernization of America, just painted in a pale and tragic hue. So, listen up, pop a bud, kick back and watch american idol with the sound turned down.

It presents a very positive view of a country full of creative people, that in 60 years already gave several Nobel prices and so many technological discoveries. In a scenario of a growing anti-Israeli propaganda, it is a very necessary book.

Best Italian cookbook, possibly best cookbook ever.
|
The only cookbook that I remember the name of the author. Once you make bluefish and potatoes or pork chops with capers and anchovies you will remember her name too. (Actually I think the pork chop was supposed to be veal but we substituted. Her recipes are easily manipulated.)Her husband liked broccoli stems so she found a way to make them. Cut up like matchsticks I have never thrown those stems away since.

Best Lanyard / Case for IPod Mini
|
I have an IPod Mini that I wanted to wear around my neck, like the IPod Shuffle. I looked around endlessly for a lanyard and case. Most of the after-market lanyards look sturdy but attach with a thin string. Apple makes a nice lanyard for the Mini, but it doesn't look like it would work with any of the protective cases you can buy. I think the best option is this XtremeMac product. It provides good protection and a lanyard that seems secure. Apple sells a "sport case" for the Shuffle, but not for the Mini. If you want something like that for your Mini, I think this is the next best thing.

I absolutely love hiphop! I've been listening to it all my life. In my lifetime, I've purchased hundreds of albums. This album, by far, is the absolute worst "hip hop" album, if you dare to call it that, that I have ever heard!!! I've owned it for about two, or three months now, and barely listened to it less than 2 times. In fact, as soon as I finish writing this, I'm going to crack the cd in two, and throw it in the garbage! It's actually in my pocket right now ready to go! I hated it! It was seriously painful to listen to it more than one time. I absolutely hated it!!! Do NOT buy this album, you'll be happy you did'nt. It includes the absolute weakest rhymes, and beats EVER!!!!! Whomever it was that wrote this album, seriously needs to get a life, far apart from hip hop that is! Give me a break, Dungeons and Dragons!!! God! It makes me want to run full speed into a brick wall!!!

Classic, hilarious Paglia
|
One of my favorite authors writing about one of my favorite movies--how could I resist buying this book? I know, I know, Paglia's reputation as a "scholar" is not on the firmest ground, but you have to admit she can write some memorable sentences, and she outdoes herself in this slim but entertaining read. It's basically a scene-by-scene analysis of Hitchcock's film, with some great backstage info and gossip (much of it from a revealing interview with Tippi Hedren) interspersed with Paglia's typical rantings about Dionysian aspects of this or that, phallic pencils and dock pilings, and why the perspective of drag queens is to be treasured over that of the average viewer. I'm not trying to be dismissive--on the contrary, I love Paglia's theories. For me, this book was pure fun to read. However, if you're looking for serious, traditional film criticism, you may want to look elsewhere.

Eh, not much difference between the free version
|
Yes you too can go out and pay thirty dollars for a piece of software that is dwarfed by competing software, and is available for free on the website of the company. So what does it do? You can record media from off of CDs, and organize MP3s and Real Audio files on your computer. So nothing really special. However, the software also comes with lots of sample songs to add to your music collection. Eh, thats all I can say, get the free version, if you like it pay thirty bucks for it then.

I only have this camera for under 2 years & now have battery problems. The camera no longer recognizes a charged battery. I put new ones in & can get 3 or 4 photos max til it dies. I have a charging dock that no longer charges. Very disappointing. My first HP was a 735 & it is still working great.

Sophomore Curse
|
The first book in this series was interesting and compelling. The second, alas, is ridiculous, silly, and something akin to a romance novel with its foolish, gothic mystery angle. Not even close to something Austen would have conceived. I'm waiting for the third, but not with great expectations. This book was lousy, plus the third was due in the winter of '05. It still isn't out, and we're well into the spring of '05. Major rewrites going on perhaps? Save yourself trouble and don't bother with this one.

Surprisingly unfunny
|
I expected to enjoy this Tracy & Hepburn political comedy, especially since I'm a history buff of the 1948 campaign. Unfortunately, the politics is only window dressing for a lot of stagy banter and a plot that moved at a snail's pace. Tracy's character has been compared to Wendell Wilkie or Ross Perot, but to me he was a Clinton -- a big, charming, down-home guy trying without success to conceal a titanic ego. He had deserted Hepburn, playing his charming wife, and his two small children to take up with Angela Lansbury, at least 20 years his junior. Want to see a good political movie? Skip this turkey and seek out "The Best Man" instead.

Pathetic

This had to have been one of most poorly written books I have ever read. Patterson must have been asked by his publisher to write this over the weekend! The false "suspense" leaves no one guessing as every plot twist is far too predictable. Save your money!

Very Pleased!

My husband has wanted this movie for several years and had not been able to find it anywhere he looked. I decided to check Amazon and after a short time I found this cd, ordered it and received it in just 4 days even though it was the 12th of December! Getting this movie made my husband's Christmas really special. I think he has watched it at least 20 times already! Thank you, not only for the selection of movies on your website but the association with companies that take good customer service seriously.Note: We were not able to watch the movie on our "old" dvd player (6 years old) as it would only play region 1 movies. Since this movie is region 2/(ALL). I checked some resources and discovered a blu-ray player would work for most movies. Be sure to check the dvd cover and the back of the player to make sure you will be able to play the movies you purchase.

A World War II Story
|
" We tumbled down in a circle of fire, corkscrewing down to the ground. I could see my parachute but couldn't reach it." This is a quote from the book B for Buster written by Iain Lawrence. B for Buster is a book about a 16 year old boy named Kak who lies about his age to join the Canadian Air Force during World War II. Kak soon finds himself in England where he becomes the radio operator on an old Air Force bomber called B for Buster. Kak is terrified and discovers very early that the Air Force is not at all what he thought it would be. He realizes that he made a terrible mistake enlisting.I really enjoyed this book. Although it is fiction, I think it accurately portrays the feelings and experiences of bomber crews during World War II. The book is filled with action and suspense and I didn't want to stop reading. If you like books about World War II, this is a book for you. I give it a five star rating.

My life

This is THEE best song ever, from the Breakfast Club to my house.! I heard this song on the night of my first serious date, some hmmmmm 13 years ago, and to this day it makes my knees shake, not that the date was any good, just that the song 'hit' something inside of me. I'm originally from N Ireland, now in Alaska, been here for a month....getting married.! Don't you was the first song I heard as a demo at a Karaoke.!!!! Just as I walked into a bar it played, you talk about weak at the knees.! It must be true that music has no boundaries, from Scotland / N Ireland to the North of USA Don't you will last forever. My Fave....Always.

I did like "Necessary Evil" though

Whatever scene this is, that scene needs to cuts its tracks in half. I like repetitive music, but only when I can put it in the background. Repetition and sandpaper don't mix and fall into the background.

Accidental Buy, but worth every penny
|
I bought this kit for working with computers, only to find out that it didn't have the correct size for any of the bits. With this being said, the tool kit is quite beneficial for everything else (that is larger scale). I have used the tool kit for repairs at home (doors), at pools (fixing our pump) and various different environments and it passes with flying color.

A charming, funny, action-packed, and romantic movie.
|
This is a really charming film. It is the only movie that I have watched repeatedly and I don't know why the official reviewers have been so critical of it. Whoopi Goldberg is very funny, the plot is action-packed, and director, Penny Marshall sets up a lovely ending. It has aged well and is still a great way to spend an afternoon. Despite the R rating, it works just fine as a family movie.

Ether Day " An Honest Review"
|
Ms. Fenster has told a story that concerns almost every person on the planet and yet the average individual knows nothing about. I am talking about anaethesia. It was so interesting that I completed the book in 4.5 hours. Her thoughtful characterizations of the people involved in the discoveries was balanced perfectly with the historical content. This book helped me to see how such an enormous discovery affected the people at the time. It was the best work of medical history I have ever read. Thank you Ms. Fenster for such a thoughtful and insightful book on such a fascinating topic.

I hold Jay Lee of Houston's KPFT and his repeated playings of "The French Toast Man" on the now-defunct 'Wake Up and Smell the Coffee' largely responsible for the dementia of many Houstonians now in their late twenties.This record is too surreal for most people; if you prefer more predictable, less random lyrics, you should pass. But, if you wish to propel yourself into a state of uninhibited lunacy, play this record first thing in the morning, every day, for three weeks. Your life is bound to change.

What is the hype?
|
I really wanted to enjoy this book, so I can read the whole series. What a waste of time, I didn't even like the main character. Terrible book for teens. The girl is honestly not nice, and follows a wrong type of guy. Words are written over and over....How gorgeous Edward is, his crooked smile, come on, we get it. Terrible, don't get suckered in the hype, I wasted my money.

Even from a non-religions point of view, Genesis is a valuable piece of literature. Being one of the first texts ever it has had a great influence on our society and is the basis for many of our customs. It isn't the most exciting read, there is a lot of who begot who, but its interesting to see what so many people have put so much faith into.It is the type of book where you can always look for a deeper meaning, which the footnotes help greatly with, but simply reading it for what it is you're still able to get a lot out of it. Obviously you can's take everything seriously, there are many metaphors used. But many of the stories teach simple morals that still are prevalent today.With out a doubt you could find a more appealing book to read than Genesis, but its still worth picking up. It been very influential to many people and appears countless times in other pieces of literature, also its short and uses relatively simple language.
