1	The definitive exploration of fantasy writing in our time.	Robert Jordan continues his complex tale of Rand , the Dragon Reborn, a man born to save the world and in doing so scorch it beyond recognition. In this book, Rand continues his struggle against waiting maddness and ever more determined foes, while the Dark One begins seeding the land with chaos. A must Read!!	positive
1	Hauntingly Beautiful	The minute the movie ended my wife and I went to Border's Books to buy the soundtrack, but they were SOLD OUT! This is one of the most hauntingly beautiful, harmonious enhancements to a film that I've heard in quite a while. A wonderful addition to anyone's collection. Please, please academy voters, do not overlook this masterpiece.	positive
1	Very informative	I found this book very helpful. For someone that new nothing about lymphedema it was very informative and easy to read. Thanks! JMN	positive
1	It's a pity it's out of print, but...	If you're reading this, you already have finished or planning to finish other books in the Remembering The Kanji series. You already learned the first 2000 kanji in Books I and II. This, the Volume III, is meant to take you to the 3,000 kanji level that any japanese college student is expected to know. It is divided in two parts, the first for meaning/writing and the second for readings.If you really want to get this book, the only possible way I found was to get it directly from the Nanzan Institute in Japan (do a Google search) as an e-book in a CD. If you can't figure out how to make the bank transfer to Japan or to Spain (they have an account in Barcelona) you can always ask someone in Japan to get it and forward it to you, or... ask a company to do this, such as White Rabbit Xpress.I hope it becomes available as a printed book again in the future.	positive
0	too bad there is no 0 star	Can somebody either shoot him or send him to North Pole or something... He is false representing Hip-Hop with his uncreative lyrics and beat biting; he is a horrible dancer as well (i must mention) Buffy, stop stealing other's beats... and oh, writing your own lyrics helps too. YOU SUCK ! Please, don't buy this CD...this is a CD with bunch of BS songs put together... looking for tru hiphop, go get yourself the new Roots album or any KRS-one classic album... anything but Buff Mommy	negative
1	I'm A Convert	I love this CD. My first John Mayer but I find myself playing it over and over. This is a keeper. Every song is beautiful.	positive
0	These are horrid	I received waffle-weave dish towels that I actually threw away. The hassle of returning them was too much so I chucked them because they were such horrible quality!	negative
0	What a big disappointment.	I kept reading this book hoping that it would get better, but sadly it didn't. It seems that he wanted to finish the book about half way through, then he just kept going on with a completely unmoving second plot to the story. I couldn't wait for the book to end.	negative
0	cost too much	These power rangers were 19.99 plus 9.00 shipping & handleing. There was a price on the box of 12.50 2 for 19.99. Takes all the fun out when you get ripped off.	negative
0	I I have not recieved my package , or re delivery you have charged my cc and not redeliverd	I recieved a note from the post office saying that my package was available for """"Pick up"""" and when i went only 2 days later the package was no longer there, note this was on the 27th of september it is october 7th and still no pitcher,AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST MY CREDIT CARD HAS BEEN CHARGE SO PLEASE RE DELIVER PFOR POSITIVE FEED BACK	negative
1	IACOCCA	The is a very interesting book. I have been a transportation director for a few years now and this book and Iacocca where have all the leaders gone, will help me be a better leader. Thank you Mr. Iacocca, I only hope that someday I may meet you.	positive
1	Best Spring Pistol i have ever owned!	I have a Walther P99 spring airsoft pistol and it is the best pistol I have ever owned. The grip feels awesome in your hand, so good I sometimes pick up the pistol just to hold it. The magazine is amazing it holds so much amo and is easy to reload in a matter of secounds. Thefield strip assembly and a slide release are awesome they make this gun very realistic. Some people when you first buy this gun will find the slide release a little tricky because if you cock the gun wrong it will catch the slide, but its not hard to release the slide once it catches. After owning this gun for about 2-3 years its still my favorite spring pistol and it still works very well I can't think of anything wrong with this pistol.	positive
1	Excellent item	Even at the lowest volume level, my Shure E4C earphones are too loud for me when I am listening to music in quiet environments. This level attenuator does an excellent job of decreasing the volume. No static is heard when adjusting the volume. Also, the volume between the two earphones remains balanced at even the lowest levels.The instructions state that this is intended for use on airplanes only but I have not had any problems using this with my iPod nano.	positive
1	Free at Last	Talent like this doesn't come along very often. Billy Price is an excellent performer and very versital with his music. Most performers' music sounds the same; not the case with Billy Price. I've seen him perform live in Pittsburgh, PA. I now live in Hampton, VA and would love to see him again. Hopefully, he'll come and perform nearby	positive
0	Overrated in every way = Disappointed	Quentin Tarantino has an issue with self-indulgence this time around. There are a few scenes that seem like they could've been cut out in the editing room without a problem, or at least shortened. Nothing of any real significance appears to be going on, and whether or not these moments get better in any repeat viewing, they can come off as extremely pointless. The only thing exciting about this movie is when the woman pulled the other woman's eye out.	negative
0	time to retire	This is the fourteenth book about Agatha Raison, an early retiree who moves to the Cotswald from London. Carsely is a picturesque, quaint village. Agatha frequently gets bored, but luckily there is always a murder that she can investigate. In this outing, Agatha and her new next door neighbor, Paul, investigate who is playing tricks on grouchy old Mrs. Witherspoon, the owner of the haunted house. Before long, Mrs. Witherspoon is found dead at the foot of the stairs. Agatha likes to put her past public relations skills to use by helping the police. It usually lands her in trouble and this time is no different.I feel this series is getting extremely tired. Each book feels exactly like the last one. Agatha gets a new male neighbor, she starts to have romantic feeling about him, they investigate together, and by the end of the book they are usually on the outs. The characters have stagnated. The plots get recycled. It's time to retire Agatha permanently.	negative
1	Adorable Coat Fits Well	This coat is such a huge bargain! I was told to buy a size bigger than normal as it runs small, which I did. Its so cute. It fits well and is well made. Other than running small, this is a steal!	positive
0	Bad	I still have not received this item, not sure what is going on ? If you have any answers I would love to hear about it? Thankx	negative
1	Def Poetry at it's BEST ... !!	Season 3 of Def Poetry Jam is my favorite thus far. The guest poets are great !! Smokey Robinson really surprised me with his poem and the message he sends to everyone is nothing less than the truth. Jill Scott also does an awesome job ...!! I highly recommend all three seasons because Def Poetry is something you can watch over and over and over ... it's NEVER a boring moment ... and you can LEARN a lot !! Southernly Yours, Daphne (Always A Southerngirrl)	positive
0	1 star is too generous	I was given this book by a work colleague after we got into a discussion about theology and whether Jesus's daddy was real etc.I'm glad my expectations were low because boy how they were met.This book seems to be liberally seasoned with just about all the goat poop the author can muster, blend in every logical fallacy in the theists armory and then stir the pot until the waters are sufficiently muddied and "we can't prove it isn't so it probably is" crap is all we have left. This book does nothing. It's literary inertia and I want those 3 and half hours of my life back.Next time someone claims they have proof of Jesus better at least have some grainy footage from a pedestal at Calvary Plaza.If anyone's looking for me I'll going back to the science department.	negative
1	Great Library Resource	Mr. Wiggle's book is a great way to introduce and review correct care of library books. The illustrations are bright and colorful and the language is easily understood by small children. The kids in my library loved it!	positive
0	Quit after less than 3 years; Would not buy again.	The compressor got noisy over a period of 2-3 weeks, then the unit stopped collecting moisture. Less than 3 years is a pretty short life span, especially when I didn't run the unit in the winter! When I called customer service, they advised me to look for a repair service, but said the cost of repair would probably exceed the cost of a new dehumidifier.	negative
0	The Dame as Dane.	Don't take your children to this movie. It is over the top bad acting(except for a few doggie scenes), poor story line, boring for anyone over six, and generally boring. Whoops, did I say that? I can not believe the voice of Vanessa Redgrave as the Great Dane.	negative
1	Cute little bag!	Cute, and functional for a small child. Just big enough for a couple of toys, and light enough to not strain little backs. Vibrant colors. Purchased 2 of these.	positive
1	Kids love it!	I bought this for my 3 yr. old daughter to keep her entertained on an airplane trip. She loved it, and so did her older and younger brothers. It had a variety of activities to reinforce numbers and to associate them with quantities. I love it because it isn't messy and she can use other colors of dry erase markers with the book. The marker wipes off with a tissue, paper towel or an old sock.	positive
0	No original music - no thanks!	Seems to be the sad case with most DVD TV series coming out these days, no rights to the original music. The Wiseguy DVD's also suffered from substitute music that spoiled the flow of the shows. No Pink Floyd "Dogs" on that famous WKRP episode? No sale, no thanks!	negative
0	Died after 16 months!!!!	We received this microwave from our wedding registry. We were thrilled when we got it and it worked fine for 16 months, then one died, I pressed 'start' and it totally shut off. I thought I blew a fuse, but nope everything else around it was still working. I tried other outlets and the thing never turned back on! Just like other people said, it just died on us. I thought cuisinart was reliable but I will NEVER buy that brand again.	negative
0	billy blanks bootcamp	I would not recommend this dvd workout For beginners. It is very diffuclt to do exspecially if you have not been In the routine of working out .	negative
0	Not everything it says it is...	For the most part the GPS works just fine. It's late on telling you to turn sometimes. This Cobra has no idea if there is road construction, or any warning of them and no re-route instructions.I purchased this model for the traffic light warning system, which is terrible, it does not deliver what is promised. I went to the company's web site and down loaded an update, the only update they offer. It still worked so poorly, that I just wanted to take the whole thing back.If your going to buy a GPS for going places, do not buy this one. If you want to know where the speed and traffic cameras are? You better just pay attention, this model warns you at about 30% of those devices and often too late.	negative
1	Substitue for higher priced battery	Good for use in products which are not used daily. A lower cost alternative to more expensive batteries. Make sure you examine closely for leakage.	positive
0	Nothing scandalous	This is the worst of the 80s -- boring, banal, overblown, overproduced, junk. "The Warrior" -- one of the worst songs ever written with one of the worst choruses ever written -- was a hit then because of its silly video -- today seen an embarrassing relic. The other "hit" - Sometimes love just ain't Enough" is an insipid duet with Don Henley probably done to make a few bucks. Goodbye to You sounded refreshing in the post-disco, early MTV days of the early 80s and it's the only track that still has some spunk partly due to its cheesy organ solo. "Love's got a Line on You" sounds dated. The audacity of this record company to compile a "Patty Smythe Greatest Hits" album based on two tracks. Patty has a throaty vocals but thanks to the mediocre material she sang she won't even be a footnote in the histoy of rock.	negative
1	Taste Great - Price Terrible	My husband is a diabetic and really likes these Oreos, but......we bought some at Safeway today (same size box) two for $5.00. So the price here is way too prohibitive!	positive
0	Terrible sound quality	I'm no audiophile but even to me these headphones have terrible sound reproduction. Get the other Coby's on Amazon if you want something cheap, surprisingly better sound reproduction -- keep in mind that they'll break relatively easily.	negative
1	Sonicare TB	good product very powerful and cleans well. Will recommend to others. The review process is obnoxious withe the word count minimum of 20.	positive
0	Good book, of course, difficult to use audio link.	Bought it because my daughter is reading it in school, and wanted it with the audio link so we could listen in the car. However, we could not figure out how to get the audio link to work.Disappointing.	negative
1	Simply untouchable	One of the greatest cd's ever. Sade has a voice that is so wonderful and sexy she could sing about the time you broke down by the side of the freeway with a flat tire and you'd think you had a great time.Every song on this "best of" cd is worth listening to over and over.Sade gets into your mind and heart and soul with her voice, this cd is a must have.	positive
0	HORRIBLE THIS COMPANY DOES HORRIFIC TESTS ON ANIMALS!!	do not buy this productwe called "summit hill laboratories" and they DO test on animals	negative
0	There isn't a zero-star rating?	Another "Lifetime" plot, another set of poorly conceived characters, another bad piece of writing by Oates. Does anyone really take her work seriously? If so, can they enlighten me as to why?	negative
0	Don't Believe the Hype	I am a daily reader of Pitchfork because they generally expose me to CD's that are at least interesting. This is not one of those. I strongly suggest that you listen to all of this wretched piece of garbage before you plunk down your hard earned cash.	negative
0	Disappointed	Silly me, I read the reviews of the book so I am not sure exactly why I am disappointed in the book. It might be the tedious writing style, the general tone , or the subject itself but, despite being an avid reader of all kinds of topics, I am just not thrilled with this book. This book might be geared to tried and true Dracula addicts, or it might be the kind of book where you need to read hundreds of pages and then you are caught up in it. In either event, I am not a Dracula addict and this is a little too dry for my tastes; there is no way I am lasting hundreds of pages hoping for the aha! moment when this book makes me happy I am reading it. Sorry....don't like it.	negative
1	A classic in pristine condition.	The problem with old (esp. foreign) film is that it can be hard to find good editions. Classics like this, which have already survived the test of time, tend to get picked up by two-bit distributors and released in the most disgraceful of manners. Thank god for the Criterion Collection; This lavish transfer will not disappoint those with a healthy aesthetic. Reading a lot of the other reviews, I've noticed that they've mentioned something about the sound quality: it's true, even in the newly restored edition there are some imperfections, but I don't think that is enough to merit less than 5 stars (maybe 4.5, but that's not an option.)	positive
1	Comfort Handles	Great quality. The backstop piece can easily be slid out of the way if you don't want to use it.	positive
0	Now I know who killed Johnny Fry, Do you ?	Cordell Carmel, is Joelle boyfriend they have been seeing each other for sometime.They are together mostly on the weekend, but this day Cordell who people call him L gos back Jos apartment on a week day and guess who he fines there? Yes he there Johnny Fry, and L catch them in the act of ??????????? I love Walter Mosley books but this was a little to much. Pl	negative
1	Tasty, but make sure you have gum	These spicy chips have a lot of great flavor but be warned, you will be left with some stanky breath afterwards! The first time I ate these was at night and then even after brushing and flossing I could taste them in my mouth the next morning. So just be careful about when you eat them, especially if you will be hanging out with people later in the day.	positive
0	sad display of exploitation	The woman Elaine, depicted in this book was a real person. Rebeca Brown former Md mis-diagnosed her leukemia as demon possesion (sure any doctor could make that mistake, right?) and spent a great deal of time shooting herself,Elaine and Elaines daughter up with demerol and having group prayer in her private residense out in the sticks. When brought up on charges, Brown suggested that the state of Indiana might secretly be part of a satanic conspiracy. It must have been so because she is no longer allowed to practice medicine, even under the assumed name of Rebeka Brown.If you really want to read xtian literature try Leo Tolstoy. At least stuff like that has the ability to make you think as opposed to believing there is some great conspiracy out there trying to destroy the church.Im sorry but if the Masons or Marilyn Manson are in control, do you actually believe people like Rebeka Brown or Bob Larson would be allowed to get away with writing this kind of book.	negative
0	I got two and they both stopped working after a few weeks	Maybe my soap is not slippery enough or something...but who cares. You push the thing down, it squirts soap out, and it doesn't spring back up--you have to pull it back up by hand. $35+ down the drain. As it were.	negative
1	Page turning intra galactic war epic	This was a book I could not put down. A human empire allied with alien former enemy empires is suddenly assaulted by a relentless foe bent on their extermination. There is no room for negotiation, the enemy takes no prisoners and civilian populations of captured planets are exterminated and/or even worse. The story takes you through numerous battles as the fate of star system after star system is decided. Strategies and counter strategies are employed in a war to the death that can have only one side surviving. The action and technology are described in enough detail to be interesting and plausible. The characters, both human and alien are well developed with some appealing, some revolting, some petty and some heroic. This is great reading for those that like science fiction with action on a grand scale.	positive
0	Historical fiction	This simply isn't history. In real life, people do things for reasons. Historians explain what happened and (to some extent) why. That is how they are able to infer as yet unknown details and even predict future attitudes and acts. Pappe gets plenty of facts wrong, but his biggest failing is to ascribe incorrect or even impossible motives to many of the people of the region.This book is propaganda masquerading as history.	negative
1	great product	i recieved this product today for my son for christmas. i cannot wait to watch it. it was a great price.	positive
0	Where are the files?	The continually referenced web site says, "Coming Soon." This book may be ok for a full time help author but is very time consuming to find information. CSS, DHTML and HTML Help information is scattered all over the book. The index is of little help. I'm sure someone could build HTML Help if they had years to do it as did the projects the author references. The supposed on-line files might help. I feel very ripped off that the author did not follow through on the website and example files.	negative
0	I don't quite like it	this maybe against the popular opinions, but the book is thick on author's philosophical thinkings (and the author is obviously fond of) on how various things are tied together, but thin on the actual things that you can do, and what to do. You have to wade through bunch of such mommy and apple pie stuff to get the point, which is a a pain. On the other hand, if you have plenty of time, and want to take it to savor the good of either ruby or rails or their interconnects, maybe it is the right book.	negative
1	Delightful	Inspirational, historical, romantic and funny. I loved this book.The vineyard in Sonoma contrasted with New York City was terrific	positive
1	Locke gave a thorough understanding for society.	I thought that this book did a good job of explaining the role of the society and of the government. It also sets up a State of Nature to justify the State. It tells the role of the individual, and the rights entitled to the individual upon entering the State. I enjoyed this book, and enjoy Locke's philosophy.	positive
0	Worst book I have ever read!!!!!!!!!	This book was terrible. In the past year I have read over 200 books and this is the worst!!! The first two chapters were good and had lots of potential, but the rest of the book is psycho!! It changes to the inside of the main character's mind. I hoped with every page it would get better, it didin't. SAVE YOUR MONEY, THIS BOOK IS TERRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can not express how bad it is.	negative
1	Shocking	I just finished this book. Could not stop reading it until I was finished. I am in total amazement how long this creature was allowed to do "his thing". How many people stayed quiet. It is a reminder of where our society has gone. I am sure with his medical condition there are more murders that he will never be charged with. I remember when this little boy was found, but never really heard anything about it after that. I was just amazed.	positive
0	From an Englishman	Unlike the other reviewers listed here I have the benefit and handicap of being an Englishman. I was greatly disappointed that one of Britains finest political interviewers whose pursuit of weasel worded politicians is remorseless, has produced such a lazy book. I had little recognition of the English portrayed, he has just peddled tired cliches that were not true even a decade ago. He only merits one star for pointing out the difference between English and British, something many English do not recognise. To all those who loved this book I would say that the English are for more complex and interesting than Paxman portrays us.	negative
1	Not as good as the first	I have to agree with the reviewer before me, book 1 was great and the characters in this book werent as endearing and I wasnt really emotionally attached to this romance as I was with book one. I admit I had high expectations and was a bit disappointed as I felt that sometimes I couldnt help but compare this heroine with the heroine in book 1 since they were kind of alike in their ways of thinking as far choice, fate, how they "noticed" the man they loved and practicality and sometimes I felt some stuff were a repeat of book one despite the different setting. Nonetheless, I still enjoyed the book but unlike book one, not sure if I will read this one again. I think Stephen and Juliet were more in lust than in love. Still I felt it was a good mystery and at the end of the day, a series I would recommend.	positive
1	Phil Wickham	I loved this album, Phil's music is unique and very soothing, great worship album with contemporary music.	positive
1	Brilliant	I found this book to be a very easy way to learn JavaScript, alongside Danny Goodmans JavaScript Bible, also a very good book on the subject, which details just about everything JavaScript	positive
1	For Makarova Lovers	This is a very interesting documentary on Natasha Makarova's return to Leningrad after having defected years earlier. While most of it will only interest die hard Makarova fans, the extended clip of "Eugene Oneign" at the Kirov will thrill all.	positive
1	Excellent book on innovation	A must read for anyone looking to create differentiated products and services for their enterprise. The book has lots of practical advice on the what and how of innovation, coming straight from the author's experiences at IDEO.	positive
1	Great for kids and adults alike!	This is great children's music that even I don't tire of. My kids request Johnette Downing's music every time we get in our van. All of her CD's are upbeat, educational, and creative. Her music is such a welcome change to the usual children's CD's. You will love it!! We're looking forward to more releases!!	positive
1	"Math's Martha Stewart (only fun!)"	Brita Immergut makes math fun! And accessible. There's not much more to say. Except that her publicist should be out trying to book her on every day time talk show in America. She's turned something difficult into something that seamlessly draws kids and parents closer together, and make them smarter in the process. The author deserves a platform and, even more, the huge audience of families who want to learn together. Buy this if you don't just want to work with your kids on math but want quality time together.	positive
1	Santa Fe Stampede	Good film and a good addition to my John Wayne collection. Good seller, fast shipping. This was a two film movie and both were movies I didn't have.	positive
1	Better than some other teen movies	Ok.. First of all I'm not a big fan of teen movies.. Most teen movies are about something like this.. Desperate girl chasing celebrity or popular guy to notice them, geeky girl getting a makeover and become popular.. blah blah.. Same thing almost applies to boys too (on teen movies).. So when I started watching this movie I didn't expect much of it anyway (I just didn't have anything better to do that moment).. However, although its a teen movies I was happy to see that it's not too typical of teen movies, one thing bothered me with the big love speech the guy prepared for Mandy Moore.. Aside from that.. Its relatively humorous and talked about some big issues (although lightly).. and most of all there was none of those corny love chasing stuff..	positive
0	A long winded let down	The book had a great premise...the American dysfunctional family but it rarely talked of dysfunction in the family context. It consisted mostly of individual failures. There was absolutely no humor. It was verbose and at times difficult to follow (the correcktall convention comes to mind). It also seemed that the book could have have been much much shorter...why was there such an in-depth discussion of Lithuania or the daughter's lesbian experiences? What about Enid's friend on the cruise...did we really need all that background? It was a chore to read and I'm very glad that it is all over now. I doubt I will attempt to read anything by this author again. A fool and his money are soon parted I suppose (and I know better than to trust hype!!!)	negative
0	The Life and Curious Death of Marilyn Monroe	The book was fell in parts, pages are dropped off from the middle, too expensive for that condition !I could not read the book till I fixed page by pages to put together.Really disappointed.	negative
0	stupid	This movie was so unfunny! You could see all the jokes coming from a mile ahead, and they weren't shocking because you already knew from the ads what happened. People that sit and watch this and laugh their heads off are pretty sad if you ask me. They think they're so wild and crazy cuz they saw a movie that joked about - SEX! Yeah, man, living on the edge....Don't waste your time with this bomb.	negative
1	Good for the money.	This style of exercise bike is exactly what I needed. It relieves a lot of the stress from my back and shoulders while allowing me to get a real workout, especially at higher resistance levels. Putting the bike together wasn't hard, except for a snag or two with the wiring to the computer. (Once I figured out that the pieces snapped together after a lot of pressure and didn't require tape, the monitor worked almost flawlessly.) The bike itself isn't built excellently, and it rickets back and forth a bit at faster speeds, but considering how much I paid for it, it's a minor issue. A comfortable seat, adjustable lengths, and the near silence of operation make this an easy piece of machinery to come back to.(By the way, the calorie counter is useless. If you multiply the number of miles you've traveled by 35, regardless of what your speed and resistance levels are, you'll get the same calorie readout as the monitor.)	positive
0	will not buy from this seller again	the item has still not been recieved. i have emailed this seller and they have yet to reply.	negative
0	Fragile.	The band pulls apart from the watch case, the buttons pop off, and the paint flakes off.In short, a rather fragile watch that will work for anyone that won't really do much with it.	negative
1	Incredible	For anyone who has ever felt all alone in this world. With no one to turn to, no sense of hope. This is what it means to be desperate, to be broken.An amazing study of the human condition. Superb storytelling. Will stay with you for days, weeks, months after reading.We are all somewhat broken.	positive
0	I'm happy my order was canceled	After reading several reviews, I ordered these, but they never arrived and I was reimbursed the purchase price, so I went to a local sporting goods store and compared these to theNikon 10x42 Monarch. After comparing the two, even though the Monarch's were more money. The Monarch 10x42 is a lot better quality Binocular. And I have been very happy with them .	negative
1	LOVE IT	I love the WebKinz. I've seen some other toys like this, but the WebKinz are not bad role models and sex symbols. They are cute! And there is some learning, like gardening and quiz questions. I play them myself!	positive
1	A Recall of Youth	This video reminds me of some of the experimentation and rocketry my friends and I did when we were young. We made our own degree of innovation and progress while the "big boys" (like Wherner VonBraun) made theirs.Sometimes it seems that progress and evolution follows a blueprint that invades the consciousness of the great and the small equally.	positive
1	awesome experimental doc	one of the best experimental films ever made. one of the best documentaries ever made. excellent score.	positive
0	Dont be confused this is volume 2	I assumed that this item was vol. 1 of a 2-v set after receiving the second volume using ISBN 9781144733832. Imagine mysurprise when the actual text for this item exactly duplicated the previous purchase. Don't be confused, both of these from NABU PRESSare for v.2. of Heitman's "Historical register and dictionary...." Perhaps Amazon should revise the description to add the vol. number	negative
1	fairly technical but interesting book on fossil birds	Chatterjee does a great job in presenting his case for Protoavis, a bird that may very well precede the famous Archaeopteryx of the Jurassic. Though a bit technical at times, it has a good overview of bird evolution and of fossil birds throughout the Mesozoic and throughout the Cenozoic, with excellent coverage of many Tertiary species, especially at Green River(from the Eocene of Wyoming) and Messel (from the Eocene of Central Europe). Their relationship to dinosaurs is well covered, and some time is spent on the K/T event that ended much Mesozoic life. Numerous diagrams and illustrations and a thorough bibliography. While not all may agree with his take on Protoavis, this remains a worthwhile on avian evolution and fossil bird speciesA good book.	positive
1	good for what it is	I bought this book after having checked it out of our local public library. The entries are (of necessity) brief, but that is just what I am looking for. I am a budding fantasy writer and the book gives just enough information to whet the appetite.	positive
0	Too Pricey	Returned item after a day. Way too pricey. Found a pair of christening shoes in local mall for $2.99. Returned item to seller.	negative
0	Drops 15% of all calls	Horrible phone - drops at least 15% of all calls, doesn't ring all the time, software glitchy and crashes. I have had two separate v220s with the same problems. Don't get motorola. I miss my old grayscale denon candybar from sprint...	negative
0	Aeneid Review	As a senior English teacher I have been looking for a video to use with my students. This dvd provides an adequate overview of the story; however, I question parts of its interpretation AND information. I have read other reviews that rate the contents of this dvd as more appropriate to a junior high audience. I do not disagree with that comment; however, I find if difficult to imagine the Aeneid being read and discussed with that age group. We are also having some difficulty with the audio on this dvd, and it's brand new! I would love to find a source for a really intelligent and interesting examination of Virgil's Aeneid.	negative
0	Not as expected	I bought this book, going off the other reviewers, and being a huge fan of Francena Arnold, and various others she has written. I don't know what it is about this book, I just can't seem to get into it. I have tried on numerous occasions, and it just can't keep my attention. If others have said that it's a good read, I am sure it is, maybe just not for me. It's a shame, because I love good Christian literature, and enjoy many types of books. Maybe I'll give it a shot another time.	negative
0	Depressing	Not for the younger crowd, it was a very depressing and down movie and would only recommend it to people who like to see two old people fight over nothing and then fall in love again... Great actors, just not a great script, in my opinion of course.	negative
1	New age classical mix	Many movies try to repeat their success with a #2 version and fail. The people responsible for aria2 have gone a true step higher than their last release into this unique type of blend. They have truly something new in the new age world. Mixing famous arias with "fusion jazz new age" music. The vocals are excellent,no complaints there.It is very relaxing yet stimulating the senses at the same time,no complaint there. To get picky I must comment on the drum beats "sound tracks"(if they are not you have fooled me)Though they use it less on this recording it still is the weak spot from people with a fabulous idea in music. The CD sounds like a lot of work. In my opinion they miss getting an "A" simply due to that. Yes I was a drummer. The really deep tones will give your woofers a needed workout. Again it is a pleasure to get lost in their music. Please understand you might not recognize the arias but you will recognize a new direction in sonic tones and artistry.	positive
1	Loved the Book	I like the different perspective on things in the spiritual realm and the details and scenerios brought out in the book.	positive
1	a sort of bible	This book is one of those rare and inspiring ones that melds a passionate spirituality with some history, an intense regard for humanity, and a wonderful sense of humor. Its the kind of book you read and think to yourself "These are things I've know all along and just couldn't put into words." Every work of Alan Watts is a gem as far as I'm concerned, but every word in this book in particular gives the impression that here is a man who laughed a lot and who enjoyed every aspect of living. I can't recommend it too highly.	positive
1	Written for Comfort not for Speed	This is an very enjoyable book about what most of us would really love to do - slowly travel around America well off the beaten track of the Interstate Highways. Mr Eyrich has a charming way of describing the interesting people and places he encounters usually with humorous pictures attached. It is both a valuable reflection on the off-track America most of miss in our journeys on airplanes as well as an excellent guide for all travelers looking for something not found in the typical tour book.	positive
0	Don't Buy this Game!!	Well the player selection & matches are fantastic, the game is just ridiculously hard. The computer's advantage over the player is laughable as it is very overwhelming. It's nearly impossible to beat the computer, especially if you are a new comer. Purchase at own risk.	negative
0	Disappointing	I have to say that although the first two books in the CCNA Companion Guide series were good (CCNA 1 Networking Basics and CCNA 2 Routers and Routing Basics), each being 400-500+ pages long with detailed information, the last two companion books (CCNA 3 Switching Basics and Intermediate Routing and CCNA 4 WAN Technologies) have been stripped down to 200+ pages each but still at the same price as the first two!This is in stark contrast to the actual course material which can be seen in the CCNA ICND self study book is much more rigorous and detailed than the CCNA Intro self study book. This tells me that the 3,4 companion guides should also be much more detailed in order to prepare the candidate adequately.Not worth the money.	negative

1	Appaloosa	I purchased the Brando series specifically for the "Appaloosa" which is one of my all time favorite western/oater movies. It is based on a horse, an Appaloosa, loose translation: "Of the Palouse" a fairly unlikely animal to be found in the region in which the movie is based. He (Brando's character) would have had to have trailed that horse for many miles if he got it from the region of origin, Northwest Indian country, specifically Oregon/Idaho and possibly Northeastern Washington, Palouse country. I thought it was a good movie when I first saw it, many years ago and after having shown it to friends who had never heard of it wasn't surprising that most thought it was better than average, as do I. The Appaloosa has become one of my movie archive staples and I rewatch it from time to time.	positive

God had you protected the entre time, Mr. Barr and I am so glad that you have made it through. The lesson you referenced about the little boy and the stone and the dirty hungry girl will impact me for the rest of my days. Thanks!	positive

The definitive exploration of fantasy writing in our time.

Robert Jordan continues his complex tale of Rand , the Dragon Reborn, a man born to save the world and in doing so scorch it beyond recognition. In this book, Rand continues his struggle against waiting maddness and ever more determined foes, while the Dark One begins seeding the land with chaos. A must Read!!

It's a pity it's out of print, but...

If you're reading this, you already have finished or planning to finish other books in the Remembering The Kanji series. You already learned the first 2000 kanji in Books I and II. This, the Volume III, is meant to take you to the 3,000 kanji level that any japanese college student is expected to know. It is divided in two parts, the first for meaning/writing and the second for readings.If you really want to get this book, the only possible way I found was to get it directly from the Nanzan Institute in Japan (do a Google search) as an e-book in a CD. If you can't figure out how to make the bank transfer to Japan or to Spain (they have an account in Barcelona) you can always ask someone in Japan to get it and forward it to you, or... ask a company to do this, such as White Rabbit Xpress.I hope it becomes available as a printed book again in the future.

Best Spring Pistol i have ever owned!

I have a Walther P99 spring airsoft pistol and it is the best pistol I have ever owned. The grip feels awesome in your hand, so good I sometimes pick up the pistol just to hold it. The magazine is amazing it holds so much amo and is easy to reload in a matter of secounds. Thefield strip assembly and a slide release are awesome they make this gun very realistic. Some people when you first buy this gun will find the slide release a little tricky because if you cock the gun wrong it will catch the slide, but its not hard to release the slide once it catches. After owning this gun for about 2-3 years its still my favorite spring pistol and it still works very well I can't think of anything wrong with this pistol.

Excellent item

Even at the lowest volume level, my Shure E4C earphones are too loud for me when I am listening to music in quiet environments. This level attenuator does an excellent job of decreasing the volume. No static is heard when adjusting the volume. Also, the volume between the two earphones remains balanced at even the lowest levels.The instructions state that this is intended for use on airplanes only but I have not had any problems using this with my iPod nano.

Overrated in every way = Disappointed

Quentin Tarantino has an issue with self-indulgence this time around. There are a few scenes that seem like they could've been cut out in the editing room without a problem, or at least shortened. Nothing of any real significance appears to be going on, and whether or not these moments get better in any repeat viewing, they can come off as extremely pointless. The only thing exciting about this movie is when the woman pulled the other woman's eye out.

time to retire

This is the fourteenth book about Agatha Raison, an early retiree who moves to the Cotswald from London. Carsely is a picturesque, quaint village. Agatha frequently gets bored, but luckily there is always a murder that she can investigate. In this outing, Agatha and her new next door neighbor, Paul, investigate who is playing tricks on grouchy old Mrs. Witherspoon, the owner of the haunted house. Before long, Mrs. Witherspoon is found dead at the foot of the stairs. Agatha likes to put her past public relations skills to use by helping the police. It usually lands her in trouble and this time is no different.I feel this series is getting extremely tired. Each book feels exactly like the last one. Agatha gets a new male neighbor, she starts to have romantic feeling about him, they investigate together, and by the end of the book they are usually on the outs. The characters have stagnated. The plots get recycled. It's time to retire Agatha permanently.

1 star is too generous

I was given this book by a work colleague after we got into a discussion about theology and whether Jesus's daddy was real etc.I'm glad my expectations were low because boy how they were met.This book seems to be liberally seasoned with just about all the goat poop the author can muster, blend in every logical fallacy in the theists armory and then stir the pot until the waters are sufficiently muddied and "we can't prove it isn't so it probably is" crap is all we have left. This book does nothing. It's literary inertia and I want those 3 and half hours of my life back.Next time someone claims they have proof of Jesus better at least have some grainy footage from a pedestal at Calvary Plaza.If anyone's looking for me I'll going back to the science department.

Quit after less than 3 years; Would not buy again.

The compressor got noisy over a period of 2-3 weeks, then the unit stopped collecting moisture. Less than 3 years is a pretty short life span, especially when I didn't run the unit in the winter! When I called customer service, they advised me to look for a repair service, but said the cost of repair would probably exceed the cost of a new dehumidifier.

The Dame as Dane.

The marker wipes off with a tissue, paper towel or an old sock.

Not everything it says it is...

For the most part the GPS works just fine. It's late on telling you to turn sometimes. This Cobra has no idea if there is road construction, or any warning of them and no re-route instructions.I purchased this model for the traffic light warning system, which is terrible, it does not deliver what is promised. I went to the company's web site and down loaded an update, the only update they offer. It still worked so poorly, that I just wanted to take the whole thing back.If your going to buy a GPS for going places, do not buy this one. If you want to know where the speed and traffic cameras are? You better just pay attention, this model warns you at about 30% of those devices and often too late.

Nothing scandalous

This is the worst of the 80s -- boring, banal, overblown, overproduced, junk. "The Warrior" -- one of the worst songs ever written with one of the worst choruses ever written -- was a hit then because of its silly video -- today seen an embarrassing relic. The other "hit" - Sometimes love just ain't Enough" is an insipid duet with Don Henley probably done to make a few bucks. Goodbye to You sounded refreshing in the post-disco, early MTV days of the early 80s and it's the only track that still has some spunk partly due to its cheesy organ solo. "Love's got a Line on You" sounds dated. The audacity of this record company to compile a "Patty Smythe Greatest Hits" album based on two tracks. Patty has a throaty vocals but thanks to the mediocre material she sang she won't even be a footnote in the histoy of rock.

Disappointed

Silly me, I read the reviews of the book so I am not sure exactly why I am disappointed in the book. It might be the tedious writing style, the general tone , or the subject itself but, despite being an avid reader of all kinds of topics, I am just not thrilled with this book. This book might be geared to tried and true Dracula addicts, or it might be the kind of book where you need to read hundreds of pages and then you are caught up in it. In either event, I am not a Dracula addict and this is a little too dry for my tastes; there is no way I am lasting hundreds of pages hoping for the aha! moment when this book makes me happy I am reading it. Sorry....don't like it.

A classic in pristine condition.

The problem with old (esp. foreign) film is that it can be hard to find good editions. Classics like this, which have already survived the test of time, tend to get picked up by two-bit distributors and released in the most disgraceful of manners. Thank god for the Criterion Collection; This lavish transfer will not disappoint those with a healthy aesthetic. Reading a lot of the other reviews, I've noticed that they've mentioned something about the sound quality: it's true, even in the newly restored edition there are some imperfections, but I don't think that is enough to merit less than 5 stars (maybe 4.5, but that's not an option.)

sad display of exploitation

The woman Elaine, depicted in this book was a real person. Rebeca Brown former Md mis-diagnosed her leukemia as demon possesion (sure any doctor could make that mistake, right?) and spent a great deal of time shooting herself,Elaine and Elaines daughter up with demerol and having group prayer in her private residense out in the sticks. When brought up on charges, Brown suggested that the state of Indiana might secretly be part of a satanic conspiracy. It must have been so because she is no longer allowed to practice medicine, even under the assumed name of Rebeka Brown.If you really want to read xtian literature try Leo Tolstoy. At least stuff like that has the ability to make you think as opposed to believing there is some great conspiracy out there trying to destroy the church.Im sorry but if the Masons or Marilyn Manson are in control, do you actually believe people like Rebeka Brown or Bob Larson would be allowed to get away with writing this kind of book.

Page turning intra galactic war epic

This was a book I could not put down. A human empire allied with alien former enemy empires is suddenly assaulted by a relentless foe bent on their extermination. There is no room for negotiation, the enemy takes no prisoners and civilian populations of captured planets are exterminated and/or even worse. The story takes you through numerous battles as the fate of star system after star system is decided. Strategies and counter strategies are employed in a war to the death that can have only one side surviving. The action and technology are described in enough detail to be interesting and plausible. The characters, both human and alien are well developed with some appealing, some revolting, some petty and some heroic. This is great reading for those that like science fiction with action on a grand scale.

Historical fiction

This simply isn't history. In real life, people do things for reasons. Historians explain what happened and (to some extent) why. That is how they are able to infer as yet unknown details and even predict future attitudes and acts.

The continually referenced web site says, "Coming Soon." This book may be ok for a full time help author but is very time consuming to find information.

I don't quite like it

this maybe against the popular opinions, but the book is thick on author's philosophical thinkings (and the author is obviously fond of) on how various things are tied together, but thin on the actual things that you can do, and what to do. You have to wade through bunch of such mommy and apple pie stuff to get the point, which is a a pain. On the other hand, if you have plenty of time, and want to take it to savor the good of either ruby or rails or their interconnects, maybe it is the right book.

From an Englishman

Unlike the other reviewers listed here I have the benefit and handicap of being an Englishman. I was greatly disappointed that one of Britains finest political interviewers whose pursuit of weasel worded politicians is remorseless, has produced such a lazy book. I had little recognition of the English portrayed, he has just peddled tired cliches that were not true even a decade ago. He only merits one star for pointing out the difference between English and British, something many English do not recognise. To all those who loved this book I would say that the English are for more complex and interesting than Paxman portrays us.

Not as good as the first

I have to agree with the reviewer before me, book 1 was great and the characters in this book werent as endearing and I wasnt really emotionally attached to this romance as I was with book one. I admit I had high expectations and was a bit disappointed as I felt that sometimes I couldnt help but compare this heroine with the heroine in book 1 since they were kind of alike in their ways of thinking as far choice, fate, how they "noticed" the man they loved and practicality and sometimes I felt some stuff were a repeat of book one despite the different setting. Nonetheless, I still enjoyed the book but unlike book one, not sure if I will read this one again. I think Stephen and Juliet were more in lust than in love. Still I felt it was a good mystery and at the end of the day, a series I would recommend.

"Math's Martha Stewart (only fun!)"

Brita Immergut makes math fun! And accessible. There's not much more to say. Except that her publicist should be out trying to book her on every day time talk show in America. She's turned something difficult into something that seamlessly draws kids and parents closer together, and make them smarter in the process. The author deserves a platform and, even more, the huge audience of families who want to learn together. Buy this if you don't just want to work with your kids on math but want quality time together.

Santa Fe Stampede

Good film and a good addition to my John Wayne collection. Good seller, fast shipping. This was a two film movie and both were movies I didn't have.

Better than some other teen movies

Ok.. First of all I'm not a big fan of teen movies.. Most teen movies are about something like this.. Desperate girl chasing celebrity or popular guy to notice them, geeky girl getting a makeover and become popular.. blah blah.. Same thing almost applies to boys too (on teen movies).. So when I started watching this movie I didn't expect much of it anyway (I just didn't have anything better to do that moment).. However, although its a teen movies I was happy to see that it's not too typical of teen movies, one thing bothered me with the big love speech the guy prepared for Mandy Moore.. Aside from that.. Its relatively humorous and talked about some big issues (although lightly).. and most of all there was none of those corny love chasing stuff..

A long winded let down

The book had a great premise...the American dysfunctional family but it rarely talked of dysfunction in the family context. It consisted mostly of individual failures. There was absolutely no humor. It was verbose and at times difficult to follow (the correcktall convention comes to mind). It also seemed that the book could have have been much much shorter...why was there such an in-depth discussion of Lithuania or the daughter's lesbian experiences? What about Enid's friend on the cruise...did we really need all that background? It was a chore to read and I'm very glad that it is all over now. I doubt I will attempt to read anything by this author again. A fool and his money are soon parted I suppose (and I know better than to trust hype!!!)

stupid

This movie was so unfunny! You could see all the jokes coming from a mile ahead, and they weren't shocking because you already knew from the ads what happened. People that sit and watch this and laugh their heads off are pretty sad if you ask me. They think they're so wild and crazy cuz they saw a movie that joked about - SEX! Yeah, man, living on the edge....Don't waste your time with this bomb.

Good for the money.

This style of exercise bike is exactly what I needed. It relieves a lot of the stress from my back and shoulders while allowing me to get a real workout, especially at higher resistance levels. Putting the bike together wasn't hard, except for a snag or two with the wiring to the computer. (Once I figured out that the pieces snapped together after a lot of pressure and didn't require tape, the monitor worked almost flawlessly.) The bike itself isn't built excellently, and it rickets back and forth a bit at faster speeds, but considering how much I paid for it, it's a minor issue. A comfortable seat, adjustable lengths, and the near silence of operation make this an easy piece of machinery to come back to.(By the way, the calorie counter is useless. If you multiply the number of miles you've traveled by 35, regardless of what your speed and resistance levels are, you'll get the same calorie readout as the monitor.)

Fragile.

The band pulls apart from the watch case, the buttons pop off, and the paint flakes off.In short, a rather fragile watch that will work for anyone that won't really do much with it.

Incredible

For anyone who has ever felt all alone in this world. With no one to turn to, no sense of hope. This is what it means to be desperate, to be broken.An amazing study of the human condition. Superb storytelling. Will stay with you for days, weeks, months after reading.We are all somewhat broken.

I'm happy my order was canceled

After reading several reviews, I ordered these, but they never arrived and I was reimbursed the purchase price, so I went to a local sporting goods store and compared these to theNikon 10x42 Monarch. After comparing the two, even though the Monarch's were more money. The Monarch 10x42 is a lot better quality Binocular. And I have been very happy with them .

I love the WebKinz. I've seen some other toys like this, but the WebKinz are not bad role models and sex symbols. They are cute! And there is some learning, like gardening and quiz questions. I play them myself!

A Recall of Youth

This video reminds me of some of the experimentation and rocketry my friends and I did when we were young. We made our own degree of innovation and progress while the "big boys" (like Wherner VonBraun) made theirs.Sometimes it seems that progress and evolution follows a blueprint that invades the consciousness of the great and the small equally.

Dont be confused this is volume 2

I assumed that this item was vol. 1 of a 2-v set after receiving the second volume using ISBN 9781144733832. Imagine mysurprise when the actual text for this item exactly duplicated the previous purchase. Don't be confused, both of these from NABU PRESSare for v.2. of Heitman's "Historical register and dictionary...." Perhaps Amazon should revise the description to add the vol. number

fairly technical but interesting book on fossil birds

Chatterjee does a great job in presenting his case for Protoavis, a bird that may very well precede the famous Archaeopteryx of the Jurassic. Though a bit technical at times, it has a good overview of bird evolution and of fossil birds throughout the Mesozoic and throughout the Cenozoic, with excellent coverage of many Tertiary species, especially at Green River(from the Eocene of Wyoming) and Messel (from the Eocene of Central Europe). Their relationship to dinosaurs is well covered, and some time is spent on the K/T event that ended much Mesozoic life. Numerous diagrams and illustrations and a thorough bibliography. While not all may agree with his take on Protoavis, this remains a worthwhile on avian evolution and fossil bird speciesA good book.

good for what it is

I bought this book after having checked it out of our local public library. The entries are (of necessity) brief, but that is just what I am looking for. I am a budding fantasy writer and the book gives just enough information to whet the appetite.

Aeneid Review

As a senior English teacher I have been looking for a video to use with my students. This dvd provides an adequate overview of the story; however, I question parts of its interpretation AND information. I have read other reviews that rate the contents of this dvd as more appropriate to a junior high audience. I do not disagree with that comment; however, I find if difficult to imagine the Aeneid being read and discussed with that age group. We are also having some difficulty with the audio on this dvd, and it's brand new! I would love to find a source for a really intelligent and interesting examination of Virgil's Aeneid.

Not as expected

I bought this book, going off the other reviewers, and being a huge fan of Francena Arnold, and various others she has written. I don't know what it is about this book, I just can't seem to get into it. I have tried on numerous occasions, and it just can't keep my attention. If others have said that it's a good read, I am sure it is, maybe just not for me. It's a shame, because I love good Christian literature, and enjoy many types of books. Maybe I'll give it a shot another time.

Depressing

Not for the younger crowd, it was a very depressing and down movie and would only recommend it to people who like to see two old people fight over nothing and then fall in love again... Great actors, just not a great script, in my opinion of course.

New age classical mix

Many movies try to repeat their success with a #2 version and fail. The people responsible for aria2 have gone a true step higher than their last release into this unique type of blend. They have truly something new in the new age world. Mixing famous arias with "fusion jazz new age" music. The vocals are excellent,no complaints there.It is very relaxing yet stimulating the senses at the same time,no complaint there. To get picky I must comment on the drum beats "sound tracks"(if they are not you have fooled me)Though they use it less on this recording it still is the weak spot from people with a fabulous idea in music. The CD sounds like a lot of work. In my opinion they miss getting an "A" simply due to that. Yes I was a drummer. The really deep tones will give your woofers a needed workout. Again it is a pleasure to get lost in their music. Please understand you might not recognize the arias but you will recognize a new direction in sonic tones and artistry.

a sort of bible

This book is one of those rare and inspiring ones that melds a passionate spirituality with some history, an intense regard for humanity, and a wonderful sense of humor. Its the kind of book you read and think to yourself "These are things I've know all along and just couldn't put into words." Every work of Alan Watts is a gem as far as I'm concerned, but every word in this book in particular gives the impression that here is a man who laughed a lot and who enjoyed every aspect of living. I can't recommend it too highly.

Written for Comfort not for Speed

This is an very enjoyable book about what most of us would really love to do - slowly travel around America well off the beaten track of the Interstate Highways. Mr Eyrich has a charming way of describing the interesting people and places he encounters usually with humorous pictures attached. It is both a valuable reflection on the off-track America most of miss in our journeys on airplanes as well as an excellent guide for all travelers looking for something not found in the typical tour book.

Don't Buy this Game!!

Well the player selection & matches are fantastic, the game is just ridiculously hard. The computer's advantage over the player is laughable as it is very overwhelming. It's nearly impossible to beat the computer, especially if you are a new comer. Purchase at own risk.

Disappointing

I have to say that although the first two books in the CCNA Companion Guide series were good (CCNA 1 Networking Basics and CCNA 2 Routers and Routing Basics), each being 400-500+ pages long with detailed information, the last two companion books (CCNA 3 Switching Basics and Intermediate Routing and CCNA 4 WAN Technologies) have been stripped down to 200+ pages each but still at the same price as the first two!This is in stark contrast to the actual course material which can be seen in the CCNA ICND self study book is much more rigorous and detailed than the CCNA Intro self study book. This tells me that the 3,4 companion guides should also be much more detailed in order to prepare the candidate adequately.Not worth the money.

Appaloosa

I purchased the Brando series specifically for the "Appaloosa" which is one of my all time favorite western/oater movies. It is based on a horse, an Appaloosa, loose translation: "Of the Palouse" a fairly unlikely animal to be found in the region in which the movie is based. He (Brando's character) would have had to have trailed that horse for many miles if he got it from the region of origin, Northwest Indian country, specifically Oregon/Idaho and possibly Northeastern Washington, Palouse country. I thought it was a good movie when I first saw it, many years ago and after having shown it to friends who had never heard of it wasn't surprising that most thought it was better than average, as do I. The Appaloosa has become one of my movie archive staples and I rewatch it from time to time.

There is a God!

Only God could have saved this man from death and more destruction after all of the things he had done, said and witnessed in his life. This book was sooooo good to me, that I could not put it down. I initially wondered could ONE person go through and do so much, but then I realized yes because when you go through all that this man has been through, there truly is a purpose for his life and I am so glad that he found it. God had you protected the entre time, Mr. Barr and I am so glad that you have made it through. The lesson you referenced about the little boy and the stone and the dirty hungry girl will impact me for the rest of my days. Thanks!
