0	disappointing	this album was pretty disappointing for me or maybe my standards were just set to high since war is hell is one of my favorite hardcore albums ever. i know the band's hearts were in the right place when they wrote this album (and doing a concept album for a hardcore record is a pretty ballsy move in itself which is why im giving it two stars instead of one) but the majority of the songs fall flat on their faces. theres just no energy here like war is hell had. i never once really thought the warriors sounded anything like rage against the machine but the zack de la rocha comparisons will probably fly left and right because of the majority of the vocal work on this album. theres a lot of moments on this album that feel almost nu-metalish which is probably the biggest deterrent for me personally (akin to that of parts of ramallah - kill a celebrity). the only track i thoroughly enjoyed was "and yet they say." maybe theyll get it right next time.	negative
1	Worked great for my Acer Aspire One	Putting this in wasn't easy though, just check out the videos on YouTube, don't be scared, I did it in 15 minutes.	positive
1	nice addition to your Keurig	I bought two of these, one for coffee and the other for all the different hot chocos. I just wish they would add another level or two	positive
1	Legendary	This is it. Period. I doubt there'll ever be a Ring like this again. Genuine Wagner singers at work, Birgit Nilsson has a voice with a vengeance, Windgassen is great and Hans Hotter may well have been the best Wotan ever. The Vienna Philharmonic is the Vienna Philharmonic, that says it all. Just put on your headphones or turn up the speaker and go back to the glory days of Wagner performance. Never a dull moment with Solti.	positive
0	Don't bother	This book only provides very high level information and not very good at that. Save your money and buy something else.	negative
1	Omron Sprague Rappaport Stethoscope	I bought it for my son for his classes in doctor of physical therapy. He told me it that the stethoscope worked very well. He liked it and if he did I would recommend it.	positive
1	Good, but repition [gun shots mainly] is bad	I gotta admit, some tracks are really good. 'Lust A lil Bit' 'Get in My Car' and all the other favorites candy shop, disco, etc etc. Most people are complainig that this CD is not all that hot and sh*t. Its not supposed to be really. Its called the Massacre, [The Valentine Massace, really] its got a lot more soul, look at 'God Gave Me Style' and 'So Amazing.' Its a differnet side of 50. I do admit the gun shots get tired after the first song [intro actually], but that's his style. If you buy this cd, the first songs you should listen to are: Just A Lil Bit: Get In My Car: God Gave Me StyleIts a good song, its just underrated right now, but people will see the difference in his music.	positive
0	Not a great field guide	This book seems to have great information and great pictures. However, the pictures of the mushrooms and the descriptions are not together. There isn't even a page reference matching pictures and information. I couldn't find which are edible and which aren't. Maybe it was there, but too hard to find.	negative
0	AWFUL	This is one dull & silly movie. Pointless & not worth watching. I had hoped for something a lot better..	negative
1	This was different and fun	I liked this story, I liked all the characters, good and bad. I want to be a part of Jimmy Tock's family. They are so quirky and loving. Unfortunately, I sort of had an idea what was what very early in the story but that didn't stop me from finishing it.	positive
0	WASTE OF TIME	I tried to watch this film (if you dare call this byproduct that way) twice in one go and twice I gave up in the middle. Being Spanish the movie as I am, I was kind of attracted to see this horror flick. I felt utterly embarrassed for the crew that made this atrocity. The story could have given rise to a decent... something. But most of times the script is absurd, dialogues unbelievable stupid, some situations are ridiculously pathetic, bad plotted, poorly shooted... The people who wrote and shot this movie are completely lacking of any talent and creativity. There is even no common sense in here. What a pitty. The best: Just the DVD cover.	negative
1	one of the better romantic suspense novels	This is certainly one of the better romantic suspense novels I've read in some time. No paranormal plot or or powerful serial killer, this is a basic suspense story with appealing characters who get wrapped up in danger due to their jobs. Funny, sexy, suspenseful, and with a decent prose style. Worth picking up.	positive
0	Won't Play	I ordered two copies of this CD, one for me and one for my daughter. It will not play on my CD player, a Technics model. We have never had anything like this happen before. My spouse took the CD to a neighbor's home and was able to play it on his player. On the strength of that, I gave my daughter her copy. I have no idea whether she has tried to play it or not. My guess is that she won't until next Christmas. She is overworked and that won't be a high priority. In case you are wondering, our CD player continues to work well, playing all our other CDs.	negative
1	250 jobs ranging from Actuary to Zoologist	Now in an updated and expanded sixth edition, the Jobs Rated Almanac continues to be a highly recommended reference for anyone seeking to match their career goals and priorities to their next job. Such considerations as salary, stress, work environment, career outlook, security, physical demand, are provided for 250 jobs ranging from Actuary to Zoologist.	positive
0	Poor quality - broke my Bose computer speakers	This is very poor quality product. The plug broke inside my Bose speaker headphone jack. Now it's impossible to remove the broken piece. It cost me $50 to replace the speaker component.Also audio quality is pretty bad and the fit is uncomfortable. All around a really bad product - stay away.	negative
0	It didn't work	We were unable to get it to work for longer than a second. I think there's an issue with the way the batteries are supposed to be installed.	negative
0	Heating element died	Just after one-year warranty expired, top heating element stopped working. Sanyo gave runaround and does not make replacement parts. Oven case in good condition and bottom element still works, but since it no longer toasts or bakes, it will go in trash. I should have read the bottom reviews for this product which describe similar problems.	negative
1	Q3A	You miss, you die. This is basically the premise of Quake 3:Arena. iD software shows once again who's king in the fps deathmatch arena. There is basically no replacement, no contender for Quake 3:Arena which sets a new standard for the deathmatch experience.	positive
1	Solid, stable equipment	In general, I have been pleased with this purchase. I did not put too much emphasis in the computerized console -- but was a bit disappointed that it wasn't more sophisticated. For example, though you can enter a number of "users", it doesn't seem to have memory to remember your past performances, nor the ability to access your current efforts. "Great Job" is what it will always tell you upon completion of your work out -- which seems to be a bit condescending.I have already had a warranty claim, where a piece was welded poorly onto the main mast of the unit. So far, I'd say that their customer service was spot on... efficient, respectful, and seemingly desirous of getting me back and going again. I'm still waiting for the replacement part, and assume it will come as promised... but if it does not come in a reasonable time frame, I will edit this review so that you will have that update.	positive
1	they've changed	The reason this cd sounds so differnet is because tbs broke up so the bass palyer i think and the guitarist plays now im pretty sure this was a good album but they shouldnt realease enhanced ver. anymore that gets me mad because i jsut have to go out and buy another one of these there still my fav band i would recommened if u like emo or alternative u should pick this up	positive
0	Worst Yet	This product is the worst yet! If you are looking for a multi-functional toaster oven this is NOT it. The temperature is inconsistent, most foods I have tried to bake take twice as long and cook very uneven; burnt on the outside, raw in the middle. Toaster function usually dose not toast at all or burns to a crisp. Don't be fooled by the high price, you won't get your money's worth!	negative
0	Not worthy of the James Bond name.	I have seen all the James Bond movies several times, from "Dr. No" through this one. This movie, "Casino Royale" is without question the worst of all.Oddly, Daniel Craig, plays a very realistic and authentic "James Bond." He looks and acts very much like a man who has a "license to kill," but even Daniel Craig's acting could not save this horribly written movie.The leading lady, is possibly the ugliest "Bond Girl" ever, and wears so much eye-liner that she looks like something from a zombie movie.The first half of the movie is barely worth watching, but it just gets progressively worse. By the time the movie was over I was very happy that it was FINALLY over.This is the ONLY movie in the James Bond series that I will leave out of my collection. It is absolutely NOT worth your money.	negative
1	The Best Film Version of the Classic Tale....	I, like many others, first saw this film in a high school class (12 years ago!) and have been hooked ever since. Anthony Andrews is fabulous as Percy. Why he never became a bigger star is one of the more troubling mysteries of the last century. He OWNS this role. No one can touch him! Jane Seymour and Sir Ian Mckellan give superb performances, as well. Because this film has not been widely distributed, I used to think I was the only one who counted it as a favorite, but I now know I'm not alone. It is wonderfully charming, witty, romantic and just plain fun. If more people knew about it, I'm sure it would be as widely beloved as other classic family films such as "The Sound of Music" and "It's A Wonderful Life". Yes, it really is THAT good.	positive
0	Didn't work on my kindle fire	This is one of my favorite movies to watch with my mom but unfortunately it was very choppy and did not work well on my kindle fire. Amazon refunded me for my purchase though so that's good!	negative
0	ABSOLUTELY NOT CHRISTIAN FICTION	I was loving this book almost all the way through until, in her dramatic interpretation of the Biblical story of Rachel and Leah, the author COMPLETELY departed from Scripture!! Beware. She not only portrays Joseph as a homosexual, she has him actually succumb to Potiphar's wife- which is direct contradiction of the truth. Literary license is one thing, but changing the Word of God is dangerously another.	negative
1	Amazzzzzzzzing	This is a grrrrrrrreat carrying case! It is good for the Gameboy Advance SP. It fits the Game Boy, Adapter, and over 10 games! BUY THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!	positive
0	Crossley 1950s broken after 3 days	I was very happy to own this vintage phone (even though it's not cheap) and pleased at how easy it was to install and use. But after three days, it conked out. I hardly used it -- maybe a total of two outgoing calls and three received calls -- until it went totally unusable. I checked and rechecked the wires. Plugged and unplugged them. Most of the time you could hear the dial tone even when it's not being used. If I try calling it, it would ring but whoever takes the call won't hear me or vice versa. Hanging up would just make the phone launch its "busy tone" which is audible even when the hand/mouth piece is back on the cradle. Now, it just stands in a corner gathering dust. I'm based overseas so returning it may not be worth the extra cost and hassle. It looks great (though I'm disappointed that the body is 90% plastic!) but the quality is not.	negative
0	I have to agree with the Gigli comparison	Suz is definitely one of my favorite authors, but what was going on when she wrote this book? I really had high hopes and expectations for Flashpoint, but I found myself not really caring about these characters about half-way through reading it. Nash and Tess were totally unlikeable and I still don't know why they ended up together. Sure, they had sex, but other than that, there was no passion or compatibility between them. By the way, blink and you'll miss the "love" scenes. I got the impression that Tess was only attracted to Nash because he was unattainable in her eyes. I was also miffed that Suz didn't expand further on Nash's demons and why he was so scarred. In my eyes, theres no foundation that would keep these two together for the long-haul. I must say that I loved Decker and I hope he gets his own book in the future, but not with Sophia. We don't need another Max and Gina. (...)	negative
1	Great Murder Mystery with race overtones	If you haven't seen this Academy Award winning movie from 1967, you are missing one of the best dramas regarding race relations and murder everfilmed. It stars Sydney Poitier and Rod Steiger. Poitier is a blacknorthern policeman on vacation in the south, while Steiger is a policechief in Mississippi. When an important rich white man is murdered,Poitier is picked up at the train station because he is black and nota known resident. What ensues is suspenseful, funny at times, and hasmany twists and turns to keep the viewer guessing.	positive
1	This book is an edge-of-your-seat thriller - truly exciting!	I've been a fanatical lover of mysteries, detective novels, and spy novels since I was a child. The Spy Wore Red is one of the best and most exciting books that I have ever read. What makes it even more exciting is that it's a true story. I couldn't get a hold of the Countess' second book: The Spy Went Dancing fast enough!	positive
0	Not great	This book really isn't that great. It came highly recommended, so I was disappointed when I got it. It pretty much just says exactly what "What to Expect When You're Expecting" says...word for word sometimes! The books I really use are What to Expect When You're Expecting, The Pregnancy Bible, The Mother of All Pregnancy Organizers, The Everything Twins...Book, and The Pregnancy Countdown. You really don't need to buy the "Dr. Spock" book.	negative
1	For Dog Lovers	I bought this for a relative who loves dogs and who believes that certain dogs have come into her life because their relationship was "meant to be." She loved it.	positive
1	Congress And Its Members	Great book. Very detailed. Good book for those who want to know more how Congress works. Good book for poly sci majors.	positive
1	good sound quality	I got this through amazon, but fomr some reason its not being sold by them, after one a few weeks. Well, anyways it works real good I think. I had it in a pocket and it still picked up the sound I wanted. It has a stereo mode that works well with the built in mics. If amazon sells it again, I recommend it.	positive
0	Microsoft makes software, Logitech makes mice.	This mouse is riddled with problems. The pointer tracks erratically, the scroll wheel has no tactile feel and has a dead spot where it doesn't scroll at all. Batteries last less than a month, as indicated by the software popping up a notification balloon on the Windows taskbar. It frequently looses its wireless connection to the computer.Microsoft used to make a good mouse but this one is junk. I feel like a sucker for buying it. I won't buy anymore hardware from Microsoft.I'd let Microsoft stick to making software and get a Logitech mouse.	negative
0	Useless in about a year	This printer has a long history of having the same error. "Printer not ready. Device is busy" shows up on the screen when you attempt to print. I highly suggest NOT buying this printer. The Lexmark company doesn't even know how to fix it. Good Luck.	negative
0	13 Months	Bought it in the middle of last September. Now, the motor's dead in slightly over a year. It was melted in (glad there was no fire). Bummed out because my cats loved it. It should definitely have lasted longer.	negative
0	Don't buy this phone!	This 'new' telephone did not work, out of the box. I was offered a replacement or a repair.... but if it doesn't work out of the box, that's it. Looks cute, but very light weight. I would not recommend it.	negative
1	Gets the job done.	The remote makes the PS3 work more like a DVD player instead of a game system. The only problem we have had is the location of the stop and pause buttons. We have made mistakes more than once trying to pause a movie. This proves to be a pain with the playstation	positive
1	Ice and Fire	His series is entertaining and filled with unexpected events. There are times when the descriptive narrative interferes with the plot lines which can be annoying. It is also clear that he has written this to produce as many books as possible. One would think that the 9th to 11th centuries in Europe creates the settings, with a little magic thrown in.	positive
0	Not teal	I love OPI products and when I realized I could buy them from Amazon for less than $9 a pop, I was excited. This is the only polish I have ever ordered that I was not satisfied with. The name of the product is "Teal the Cows Come Home" and the color looks to be a greenish/teal color. When the bottle arrived, it was very, very blue. I have not worn this product since I purchased it.	negative
0	Not the Chair for Me	I have a posture-related chronic pain condition so I was looking to spend some money on a good quality task chair. This chair, in it's furthest upright position, reclines about six inches too far back for me to sit in a full upright position. I cannot type comfortably while reclined back so far - not at all practical for computer work. Waste of money in my case.	negative
1	The Best Book In The Whole World	I bought Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets on June 3,1999 and finished it the next day. I went to school with it and read it while having classes and the teacher always tells me to close the book which I couldn't do because it was very addictive! What urged me to buy the sequel is because a classmate of mine brought the first book of Harry Potter to school and told the teacher to read it to us everyday and I started to like it. There was a Harry Potter mania in our class! I can't wait to buy the third book of Harry Potter if their is. I hope there are many more Harry Potter books to come!	positive
1	GOod	This is works great, but can any1 tell me why does it take so much space to get this thing to work? It took a total of very close to 1gb to install the software and everything. The setup cd arn't very clear and good, but the text printing was great. Any1 has a suggestion what program i can unstall that i don't need but the printer scanner and copy still work, please email me at..	positive
1	digital card	great product as well. this was great as I was traveling throughout south america and i was able to take MANY pics with this card	positive
1	Thanks for the laughs, Chels!	Much likeAre You There, Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea, My Horizontal Life made me laugh out loud at Chelsea's hilarious anecdotes and ability to tell humorous stories. I read her 2nd book first and her first book second, but it doesn't really matter. Each is a collection of random stories over the course of her lifetime, so there's no particular order that readers have to follow to get terrific enjoyment from Chelsea's miseries. You just have to love reading about sex, alcohol, and mishaps. Oh, and midgets. And an occasional skidmark. Hehehe... I look forward to Chelsea's third book! Keep 'em coming, girl!Note to publisher: do you need an editor? I noticed a lot of grammatical typos that were obviously overlooked during the printing of this book. If so, tell me where to send my resume. Thanks!	positive
0	NOT FUNNY AT ALL	Dane Cook is one the most popular comedians of today so I decided to check his comedy out. Now I know that our current state of pop culture (music, tv ect) is pretty terrible so I was thinking that Cook might not be as funny as all the hype made him out to be, but expected something at least decent. After hearing this CD, I think Dane Cook's comedy should be illegal. This was one of the least funny things I've ever heard in my life. A couple of times I smirked and maybe cracked a smile but seriously the only time I actually laughed was during the Kool Aid rountine. This stuff is horrible.	negative
0	Blubberhypen	Not only is this about the worst tune Elvis ever releasedbut Paul Oakenfield is at the top of his game as he givesus a less than mediocre performance in remixing the rhythmsection with a sort of modern trance beat. But thanks forplaying Paul. I've never heard anything as uninteresting andboring in my life. Thank god they only stuck me up for 3.49$.I could have been foolish enough to buy the full lengthalbum.	negative
0	Junk	I have had two of DTV's HD receivers for approximately 10 months. I've had 5 service calls from techs, 2 boxes swapped out and i am currently having problems with both existing boxes. One box drops the sound and the other drops the picture first and then the sound, and must be rebooted to work again.	negative
0	Quality not what I expected	After watching these movies for years on vhs and dvd I was expecting a better transfer to blu ray that was on a par as the Jaws blu ray. The quality in parts was blurry and pretty poor for a blu ray disc. Pretty disappointed really.	negative
0	dime-store philosophy	It is amazing, with the plethora of really good, exciting and substantial books on development, spirituality and philosophy available, that this volume caused such a stir. In my country it was all the rage, now forgotten, like a butterfly. Yoganandas Autobiography or Alexandra David-Neels brilliant books of travel in Tibet hover so far above this book in depth, quality and suspense that 1 star is inevitable.	negative
1	Best Book Ever	I love this book and I read almost everday. I love reading the Simpsons' crazy adventures and since I am a Simpsons fan I had to own it. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to know more about each episode.	positive
1	A field guide to American Class Structure	Fussell says in the first chapter that "you think class is all about money, but it isn't", then spends the rest of the book saying "you think it's about money, but it isn't, but it is, really". Nevertheless, most readers, by virtue of the fact that they bought this book, will be able to feel pleasently superior and a few pangs of guilt when they see themselves. A very funny book if you don't take it to seriously.	positive
0	More Misses than Hits	Any compilation of the "greatest" anything for any long period of time is fraught with potential problems. Granted that, the selections made are pleasant enough if one is trying to introduce Latin music to someone unfamiliar with it. To anyone even moderately familiar with the genre, this collection is a major disappointment. "Granada" as a love song? The performances mix great artists with some who do not do justice to some good accompaniment. The major flaw, however, is omitting the real greats, Pedro Vargas singing "Mujer" for example, and ignoring much that is Latin, "Uno" and "El Dia Que Me Quieras" tangos, "Limena" and other Peruvian valses. I would pass and look for my own favorites.	negative
0	Veeery basic. No building info.	This book is ok for someone who has never seen a Model A. Zero building info Just elementary and brief overview of what you need to tell whoever is going to actually do the work. Not a value buy.	negative
1	Does what it is supposed to do	My previous T-fal frying pan which I paid too much for ($80) was wonderful but had finally started to lose its non-stick properties after 2 years. I bought this one to replace it and think its just as good. The first few times there was some sticking for some reason but now my overeasy eggs slide right out of the pan onto my plate which keeps my weekend mornings stress-free!	positive
1	THE manual for conscious creation.	This book contains and further elaborates on most of the information given in the first book (vol I) except the planetary alignment stuff. The information in this and volume I is extremely practical information, as opposed to very theoretical. Again like volume I this book gives you the mechanics of conscious creation and how the universe works to bring things into physical manifestation. This book gives back meaning by showing you every thought you have has an impact in your life and the life of others. This book can show you why your life is a product of your thoughts and beliefs. If I was given the choice of only one book it would be this one.	positive
0	Arrived Broken	I received this yesterday, and when I plugged into the outlet, it flashed an "E3" error. My attempts to adjust the settings by pressing the control keys on the touch panel failed as well, as it kept flashing the E3 errror and beeping. It's a highly disappointing product.	negative
1	Beauty	I read this book for the first time when I was 15. I'm 24 now and I still love it. Beauty and the Beast has always been my favorite fairy tale and I love finding different versions of the story. This is by far the best one. Beauty isn't your typical helpless fairy tale heroine. She's very intelligent, independent, and willing to do her own thing. Reading this book again has truly been a joy and I highly recommend this book to people of all ages.	positive
1	Don Camillo will pep you up to kick any rascals in humour	My home library contains some fabulous titles from Signor Guareschi. Over the years my wife and my brother and I have started guarding them with our lives. Particularly the above title. What a sublime humour and a bygone era. I went to Italy to see Palmar and the river Po. Made lot of Italian friends on that trip. Read Guareschi. Particularly the House that Nino Built.	positive
1	AWESOME	I bought this cam for the cam and the built in mic... HUGE plus for me and my family. I got it home and was amazed how great it worked and easily installed. I have recommended to my family and all my friends. Even if they already have a cam. the picture is great and works wonderfully. There is so much you can do from recording your little ones to send to the grandparents to still pictures that can be turned into greeting cards or add borders n such. I HIGHLY recommend this cam!	positive
0	XP Bad, SP2 Horrible.	XP is only "good" if compared to previous, even worse versions of Windows. That is not really a fair comparison, and really shows how little of the computer world most people are actually aware of.SP2 is just the latest piece of junk M$ put out to quiet (for a time) their critics. What did they do? Mostly, they turned on a useless firewall (useless because you can get much better for free, not to mention the fact that it breaks a number of applications).When I was pushed SP2 a while back, it took me 1:30 hours to revert my laptop to a useable state. So, Caveat Emptor.	negative
0	Ok if you only have five minutes	This book is for the mom who is looking for something to get her through a birthday party and not for those seriously looking to get into face painting as a serious hobby or business. The faces are basic and offer little for the imagination. If it were much less expensive it would get better reviews, but at the same cost you can get much better face painting books from the market. Check it out at the library instead.	negative
0	Weird Staging	Handel: SemeleStaging is current vintage Eurotrash. Bartoli's mezzo lies too low for Semele and she strains to produce the required volume. Nikiteaun's voice also sorely lacks the strength needed for the role and her English pronunciation is atrocious. Tenor has a lovely voice which he produces without strain, both top and bottom, Orchestral playing excellent, and it is really better to listen to the sound track than to view tortuous sludge.	negative
1	From Back Cover	A NEW DREAMShe's turned her back on glamour and fame and Kate Stanislaski Kimball had come home to begin a new life. The only thing more perfect than the beautiful - dilapidated - building she'd bought for her new dance school was Brody O'Connell, the frustrating, surprisingly fascinating contractor she'd hired for the renovation.A man didn't often come across a woman as gorgeous, sensuous, provocative... and utterly irritating as Kate. But Brody was determined to resist her effortless allure. She was Natasha Stanislaki's pampered, perfect daughter, and not at all the right woman for him. But every fiber of his being longed to make her his...[6th in The Stanislaskis series]	positive
1	Good Product. Does exactly what it's suppose to do	what can you say bad about this product?? it's a simple design and it does exactly what the description says it does....	positive
0	A true story badly told	Most of the story line for this book was actually the story of the Morning Star Commune, the charters, plot everything. I though there was something fishy so I did a search and found the Diggers web site and therein was the bio of the two communes that T.C used for his book. I don't know about the end of the book, very lame ending and could have been ripped from an actual even also. This was a lazy writing effort. Go to the Diggers web site and get the real story.	negative
1	Useful Yard Tool!	Tool works very well for the purpose. Could use a little more reach though, must struggle a little to get the higher branches. Battery charge holds up great. Can get a lot of trimming from a single charge.	positive
0	I agree -- Design Flaws	Pros:-->Decent sound for small unit. Crisp and clear, but a little short on the low end-->Cool look and integrates with ipod rather wellCons:-->Unable to adjust alarm volume of radio and ipod (not just buzzer). Always comes out as volume 20 or so. Very annoying and much too loud for me to stand. Even though the company brags about some gradual wake cycle, that volume has me jumping straight out of bed. I will be returning it based on this feature alone.-->Constant buzzing, static noise: minor, but it is there. Upsetting because the rest of the sound is great. But on quiet songs like classical music, is easily heard-->Too bright display -- as everyone else has said-->Click wheel sucks for changing alarm. If you want to change the alarm from your usual morning time, to the afternoon for an afternoon nap, it takes FOREVER. That clickwheel is annoying and slow to change.Summed up: Not worth the high price. Don't buy it.	negative
1	Fats Waller Great Collection	As an old Fats fan, I have listened to many of his songs, but,this collection added many pleasant surprises!!!!!	positive
0	Disappointing to Miles fan	You'll find better works out there, particularly if you're a Miles fan. The emphasis here is on Milt Jackson and his vibraphone, which gives the album a light, airy feeling. Missing is much of Miles' horn and sentiment. You also get a bit shortchanged with a mere 30 minutes of music. I would call this a "pleasant" album, which in my jazz-world is not a happy thing.	negative
0	Horrible - Not Engaging	Baby Bumbling is a failed attempt to copy Baby Einstein. Most children cried when I popped it in and those who did not cry and hide were not engaged in anyway.If you want to communicate with your child I suggest Signing Time. Children as young as 13 months learned to Speak, Sign & even READ using Signing Time. They were engaged the entire time and the benefits were visible from day 1!Baby Bumble is a bad investment, our copies (vol. 1 & 2) pretty much went from mail box to trash basket.	negative
1	Can't Go Wrong With the 'Mats on the Soundtrack	Give props to writer-director Greg Mottola for not repeating himself. The temptation must have been great to copy "Superbad" but "Adventureland" is a completely different animal. Both are coming-of-age flicks but the tone here is bittersweet. "Adventureland" is funny in part but it's mostly poignant. I like this film alot but it didn't resonate in my subconscious like "Superbad". This is not to slight the film but only fair warning to anybody expecting something else.	positive
0	I need negative stars	This is the second graphic novel I've needed negative stars to adequately express my feelings for in the last two months. I really was taken aback by Stan Lee's writing. "He created my favorite comic superhero, Spider-man, how bad could this be?" was my thought when I bought this. The story lines are really bad. I guess the best way to describe it would be to compare the stories to the mostly bad 70's comics. This isn't something that I'll ever reread due to the poorly written stories which is a shame since I respect most of Stan Lee's work. My true review of this would be about negative 2 stars.

0	One of the worst books I've ever read	I don't write many reviews but I felt that I HAD to for this horrible piece of crap! How can a major publisher allow a book like this to be released? With it's ridiculous plot, incredibly boring dialogue, and horrible characters it's like reading something written by a dim-witted high school english student.Bottom line: Reading "The Camel Club" was a very painful experience and should never be done by anyone!	negative
1	From Tuscon to Tucumcari	Ms. Walters is astounding!

0	frustrated	listening to this book on CD, i felt as if i were listening to someone who had to write a thesis on the author of Lolita. Sho had to substantiate every thought and fact about this man according to a class she took, and a professor was going to grade her on every fact and footnote. i didn't like it. Please don't come crashing down on me for my response to this book. everytime i thought something very personal was about to be revealed or flushed out, it was cut short. I feel ms. nafisi kept an implacable barrier up which she put in place to keep the novel impersonal, and that barrier was to make it an academid thesis on nabakov, and in a sophomoric way. fine, but that's not what the book was promoted to be, and not what i would have purchased.	negative
1	Good Quality for the price	I bought this vanity set for my 12 year old daughter because the style matched with her bed. It arrived a week before they said it would, was very well packaged with all parts and hardware intact. It was very easy to put together and looks just as the picture showed. The quality was what I expected, it is made of metal tubes that are pretty sturdy. Be advised that the "silver" finish is painted on and is more of a gray than a stainless steel silver.	positive

If you're someone who orders books online based on catchy titles, then do yourself a favor and skip this one. How can a book on cosmetic surgery not even talk about the golden ratio?	negative

1	mom of two	Have been using this booster with my 3-year old for about a month as his younger sister needed his previous convertible (also a Graco); love the booster. Easy to use, my son can climb in and out of the seat very easily. Added bonus - the cup holders are in perfect position for him (location in previous seat was awkward and the cups always ended up on the floor, rolling under the front seat). At his age on longer car trips during which he naps, I do miss the 5-point harness that kept him in a better position (he doesn't much care for the head pillow that came with the booster), but, once seated, if you pull the shoulder strap all the way out so that it retracts and "locks" it helps give him some additional support (and keeps him from wiggling side to side). We are very pleased with this seat overall, have already been asked about it by many of our friends, and highly recommend it.	positive

1	Impressive	This is a pretty impressive album. I was rooting for 50 but you simply can't deny that this album has life to it. Hip hop probably did die in the late 90s with Biggie and the last few imitators who followed. I can't help but feeling that 50s album just followed the same tired rap album formula. As for Kanye's album, it simply defies any genre. It's not really rap, not quite pop. It's just very original and fun to listen to. There are some really powerful songs on this album. I would recommend this refreshing album.	positive
0	A useless book	I was already surprised when I received a book called "What is Feng Shui?" and it was so small! I know something about Feng Shui and it is not explainable in such a small space!

So, Feng Shui student, do not buy this book because it is completely useless. And a little irritating, too.Federica LangI would rate it no star, if I could.	negative
1	Sticks Afterward	When I first read this book, it seemed like any other. The writting was simple, which I liked because it focused on the strory.I loved some of the imagery.

0	Read Gatorvalenz first - NOT FOR WIDE ANGLE	I (foolishly) purchased this filter to place upon a Tokina 12 - 24 mm Nikon lens, exactly the same as Gatorvalenz, because I was too carried away with the 'buy me too....' approach engendered (and desired) by Amazon. That's fine, my mistake. It cost an additional USD 30 to buy a filter that would work effectively with the Tokina lens. As a side note (almost...) this filter comes with the WORST packaging I have ever seen. Fine if you buy from the store, but not so great (for me...) when the filter traverses 10 time zones via Fedex/UPS/Other Carrier of Your Choice. Luckily (and this was probably pure luck...) the filter was OK - but useless for the intended use!	negative
1	Kurt would approve...	This was a great book, a great read for any diehard Nirvana/Kurt Cobain fan like myself. I also have Cobain by the Editors of Rolling Stone, and the fantastic Come As You Are by Michael Azerrad(?), but this is better than both. A great read, a great book to get someone for Christmas, I thoroughly recommend it. the result of four years work, this has interviews with courtney, extracts from kurts diary, and you start to understand the troubled genius that was Kurt Cobain. the final chapter takes you step by step through Kurt's last waking hours and is incredibly vivid. i was left feeling overwhelmed.	positive
0	What a Cop Out!	Bringing Frank back was a great idea. The rest was crap. I can't believe that it would all end this way! ACC has got to be senile. This has none of the mystery or beauty of 2001, nor the intelligence of 2010 or 2061. And frankly, I don't think that the monoliths can be beaten by some computer virus. Come on! They pulled the same side show trick in ID4! Let me guess: The monoliths are IBM compatible and run on Windows 95. I don't think so! I thought that the series would end on a brighter note than this, I really did. Maybe someone should rewrite it for ACC.	negative

0	Was there an editor? Contrived and Tedious	This is one of the silliest books I've ever read. The characters were original, but they all spoke like actors in cheap movies. Lines like a stewardess saying "It will be almost four hours to Paris even on the Concorde." are common. This is how the author tries to get information across - by having the characters over explain in a stilted lifeless way, most with "cute" accents. The title character's husband and ex both call her an "idiot" and "stupid woman" knocking her down on a gravel walkway, and then walk off together to buy each other a drink. This is played for laughs.How this book was nominated for an Edgar Award, I'll never know. Must have been a bad year for first novels	negative

disappointing

this album was pretty disappointing for me or maybe my standards were just set to high since war is hell is one of my favorite hardcore albums ever. i know the band's hearts were in the right place when they wrote this album (and doing a concept album for a hardcore record is a pretty ballsy move in itself which is why im giving it two stars instead of one) but the majority of the songs fall flat on their faces. theres just no energy here like war is hell had. i never once really thought the warriors sounded anything like rage against the machine but the zack de la rocha comparisons will probably fly left and right because of the majority of the vocal work on this album. theres a lot of moments on this album that feel almost nu-metalish which is probably the biggest deterrent for me personally (akin to that of parts of ramallah - kill a celebrity). the only track i thoroughly enjoyed was "and yet they say." maybe theyll get it right next time.

Never a dull moment with Solti.

Good, but repition [gun shots mainly] is bad

I gotta admit, some tracks are really good. 'Lust A lil Bit' 'Get in My Car' and all the other favorites candy shop, disco, etc etc. Most people are complainig that this CD is not all that hot and sh*t. Its not supposed to be really. Its called the Massacre, [The Valentine Massace, really] its got a lot more soul, look at 'God Gave Me Style' and 'So Amazing.' Its a differnet side of 50. I do admit the gun shots get tired after the first song [intro actually], but that's his style. If you buy this cd, the first songs you should listen to are: Just A Lil Bit: Get In My Car: God Gave Me StyleIts a good song, its just underrated right now, but people will see the difference in his music.

WASTE OF TIME

I tried to watch this film (if you dare call this byproduct that way) twice in one go and twice I gave up in the middle. Being Spanish the movie as I am, I was kind of attracted to see this horror flick. I felt utterly embarrassed for the crew that made this atrocity. The story could have given rise to a decent... something. But most of times the script is absurd, dialogues unbelievable stupid, some situations are ridiculously pathetic, bad plotted, poorly shooted... The people who wrote and shot this movie are completely lacking of any talent and creativity. There is even no common sense in here. What a pitty. The best: Just the DVD cover.

one of the better romantic suspense novels

This is certainly one of the better romantic suspense novels I've read in some time. No paranormal plot or or powerful serial killer, this is a basic suspense story with appealing characters who get wrapped up in danger due to their jobs. Funny, sexy, suspenseful, and with a decent prose style. Worth picking up.

Won't Play

I ordered two copies of this CD, one for me and one for my daughter. It will not play on my CD player, a Technics model. We have never had anything like this happen before. My spouse took the CD to a neighbor's home and was able to play it on his player. On the strength of that, I gave my daughter her copy. I have no idea whether she has tried to play it or not. My guess is that she won't until next Christmas. She is overworked and that won't be a high priority. In case you are wondering, our CD player continues to work well, playing all our other CDs.

Solid, stable equipment

In general, I have been pleased with this purchase. I did not put too much emphasis in the computerized console -- but was a bit disappointed that it wasn't more sophisticated. For example, though you can enter a number of "users", it doesn't seem to have memory to remember your past performances, nor the ability to access your current efforts. "Great Job" is what it will always tell you upon completion of your work out -- which seems to be a bit condescending.I have already had a warranty claim, where a piece was welded poorly onto the main mast of the unit. So far, I'd say that their customer service was spot on... efficient, respectful, and seemingly desirous of getting me back and going again. I'm still waiting for the replacement part, and assume it will come as promised... but if it does not come in a reasonable time frame, I will edit this review so that you will have that update.

This product is the worst yet! If you are looking for a multi-functional toaster oven this is NOT it. The temperature is inconsistent, most foods I have tried to bake take twice as long and cook very uneven; burnt on the outside, raw in the middle. Toaster function usually dose not toast at all or burns to a crisp. Don't be fooled by the high price, you won't get your money's worth!

Not worthy of the James Bond name.

I have seen all the James Bond movies several times, from "Dr. No" through this one. This movie, "Casino Royale" is without question the worst of all.Oddly, Daniel Craig, plays a very realistic and authentic "James Bond." He looks and acts very much like a man who has a "license to kill," but even Daniel Craig's acting could not save this horribly written movie.The leading lady, is possibly the ugliest "Bond Girl" ever, and wears so much eye-liner that she looks like something from a zombie movie.The first half of the movie is barely worth watching, but it just gets progressively worse. By the time the movie was over I was very happy that it was FINALLY over.This is the ONLY movie in the James Bond series that I will leave out of my collection. It is absolutely NOT worth your money.

The Best Film Version of the Classic Tale....

I, like many others, first saw this film in a high school class (12 years ago!) and have been hooked ever since. Anthony Andrews is fabulous as Percy. Why he never became a bigger star is one of the more troubling mysteries of the last century. He OWNS this role. No one can touch him! Jane Seymour and Sir Ian Mckellan give superb performances, as well. Because this film has not been widely distributed, I used to think I was the only one who counted it as a favorite, but I now know I'm not alone. It is wonderfully charming, witty, romantic and just plain fun. If more people knew about it, I'm sure it would be as widely beloved as other classic family films such as "The Sound of Music" and "It's A Wonderful Life". Yes, it really is THAT good.

ABSOLUTELY NOT CHRISTIAN FICTION

I was loving this book almost all the way through until, in her dramatic interpretation of the Biblical story of Rachel and Leah, the author COMPLETELY departed from Scripture!! Beware. She not only portrays Joseph as a homosexual, she has him actually succumb to Potiphar's wife- which is direct contradiction of the truth. Literary license is one thing, but changing the Word of God is dangerously another.

Crossley 1950s broken after 3 days

I was very happy to own this vintage phone (even though it's not cheap) and pleased at how easy it was to install and use. But after three days, it conked out. I hardly used it -- maybe a total of two outgoing calls and three received calls -- until it went totally unusable. I checked and rechecked the wires. Plugged and unplugged them. Most of the time you could hear the dial tone even when it's not being used. If I try calling it, it would ring but whoever takes the call won't hear me or vice versa. Hanging up would just make the phone launch its "busy tone" which is audible even when the hand/mouth piece is back on the cradle. Now, it just stands in a corner gathering dust. I'm based overseas so returning it may not be worth the extra cost and hassle. It looks great (though I'm disappointed that the body is 90% plastic!) but the quality is not.

I have to agree with the Gigli comparison

Suz is definitely one of my favorite authors, but what was going on when she wrote this book? I really had high hopes and expectations for Flashpoint, but I found myself not really caring about these characters about half-way through reading it. Nash and Tess were totally unlikeable and I still don't know why they ended up together. Sure, they had sex, but other than that, there was no passion or compatibility between them. By the way, blink and you'll miss the "love" scenes. I got the impression that Tess was only attracted to Nash because he was unattainable in her eyes. I was also miffed that Suz didn't expand further on Nash's demons and why he was so scarred. In my eyes, theres no foundation that would keep these two together for the long-haul. I must say that I loved Decker and I hope he gets his own book in the future, but not with Sophia. We don't need another Max and Gina. (...)

Microsoft makes software, Logitech makes mice.

This mouse is riddled with problems. The pointer tracks erratically, the scroll wheel has no tactile feel and has a dead spot where it doesn't scroll at all. Batteries last less than a month, as indicated by the software popping up a notification balloon on the Windows taskbar. It frequently looses its wireless connection to the computer.Microsoft used to make a good mouse but this one is junk. I feel like a sucker for buying it. I won't buy anymore hardware from Microsoft.I'd let Microsoft stick to making software and get a Logitech mouse.

Ice and Fire

His series is entertaining and filled with unexpected events. There are times when the descriptive narrative interferes with the plot lines which can be annoying.

The Best Book In The Whole World

I bought Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets on June 3,1999 and finished it the next day. I went to school with it and read it while having classes and the teacher always tells me to close the book which I couldn't do because it was very addictive! What urged me to buy the sequel is because a classmate of mine brought the first book of Harry Potter to school and told the teacher to read it to us everyday and I started to like it.

Thanks for the laughs, Chels!

Much likeAre You There, Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea, My Horizontal Life made me laugh out loud at Chelsea's hilarious anecdotes and ability to tell humorous stories. I read her 2nd book first and her first book second, but it doesn't really matter. Each is a collection of random stories over the course of her lifetime, so there's no particular order that readers have to follow to get terrific enjoyment from Chelsea's miseries. You just have to love reading about sex, alcohol, and mishaps. Oh, and midgets. And an occasional skidmark. Hehehe... I look forward to Chelsea's third book! Keep 'em coming, girl!Note to publisher: do you need an editor? I noticed a lot of grammatical typos that were obviously overlooked during the printing of this book. If so, tell me where to send my resume. Thanks!

NOT FUNNY AT ALL

Dane Cook is one the most popular comedians of today so I decided to check his comedy out. Now I know that our current state of pop culture (music, tv ect) is pretty terrible so I was thinking that Cook might not be as funny as all the hype made him out to be, but expected something at least decent. After hearing this CD, I think Dane Cook's comedy should be illegal. This was one of the least funny things I've ever heard in my life. A couple of times I smirked and maybe cracked a smile but seriously the only time I actually laughed was during the Kool Aid rountine. This stuff is horrible.

dime-store philosophy

It is amazing, with the plethora of really good, exciting and substantial books on development, spirituality and philosophy available, that this volume caused such a stir. In my country it was all the rage, now forgotten, like a butterfly. Yoganandas Autobiography or Alexandra David-Neels brilliant books of travel in Tibet hover so far above this book in depth, quality and suspense that 1 star is inevitable.

Best Book Ever

I love this book and I read almost everday. I love reading the Simpsons' crazy adventures and since I am a Simpsons fan I had to own it. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to know more about each episode.

A field guide to American Class Structure

Fussell says in the first chapter that "you think class is all about money, but it isn't", then spends the rest of the book saying "you think it's about money, but it isn't, but it is, really". Nevertheless, most readers, by virtue of the fact that they bought this book, will be able to feel pleasently superior and a few pangs of guilt when they see themselves. A very funny book if you don't take it to seriously.

More Misses than Hits

Any compilation of the "greatest" anything for any long period of time is fraught with potential problems. Granted that, the selections made are pleasant enough if one is trying to introduce Latin music to someone unfamiliar with it. To anyone even moderately familiar with the genre, this collection is a major disappointment. "Granada" as a love song? The performances mix great artists with some who do not do justice to some good accompaniment. The major flaw, however, is omitting the real greats, Pedro Vargas singing "Mujer" for example, and ignoring much that is Latin, "Uno" and "El Dia Que Me Quieras" tangos, "Limena" and other Peruvian valses. I would pass and look for my own favorites.

Veeery basic. No building info.

This book is ok for someone who has never seen a Model A. Zero building info Just elementary and brief overview of what you need to tell whoever is going to actually do the work. Not a value buy.

Does what it is supposed to do

My previous T-fal frying pan which I paid too much for ($80) was wonderful but had finally started to lose its non-stick properties after 2 years. I bought this one to replace it and think its just as good. The first few times there was some sticking for some reason but now my overeasy eggs slide right out of the pan onto my plate which keeps my weekend mornings stress-free!

THE manual for conscious creation.

This book contains and further elaborates on most of the information given in the first book (vol I) except the planetary alignment stuff. The information in this and volume I is extremely practical information, as opposed to very theoretical. Again like volume I this book gives you the mechanics of conscious creation and how the universe works to bring things into physical manifestation. This book gives back meaning by showing you every thought you have has an impact in your life and the life of others. This book can show you why your life is a product of your thoughts and beliefs. If I was given the choice of only one book it would be this one.

Arrived Broken

I received this yesterday, and when I plugged into the outlet, it flashed an "E3" error. My attempts to adjust the settings by pressing the control keys on the touch panel failed as well, as it kept flashing the E3 errror and beeping. It's a highly disappointing product.

Beauty

I read this book for the first time when I was 15. I'm 24 now and I still love it. Beauty and the Beast has always been my favorite fairy tale and I love finding different versions of the story. This is by far the best one. Beauty isn't your typical helpless fairy tale heroine. She's very intelligent, independent, and willing to do her own thing. Reading this book again has truly been a joy and I highly recommend this book to people of all ages.

Don Camillo will pep you up to kick any rascals in humour

My home library contains some fabulous titles from Signor Guareschi. Over the years my wife and my brother and I have started guarding them with our lives. Particularly the above title. What a sublime humour and a bygone era. I went to Italy to see Palmar and the river Po. Made lot of Italian friends on that trip. Read Guareschi. Particularly the House that Nino Built.

AWESOME

I bought this cam for the cam and the built in mic... HUGE plus for me and my family. I got it home and was amazed how great it worked and easily installed. I have recommended to my family and all my friends. Even if they already have a cam. the picture is great and works wonderfully. There is so much you can do from recording your little ones to send to the grandparents to still pictures that can be turned into greeting cards or add borders n such. I HIGHLY recommend this cam!

XP Bad, SP2 Horrible.

XP is only "good" if compared to previous, even worse versions of Windows. That is not really a fair comparison, and really shows how little of the computer world most people are actually aware of.SP2 is just the latest piece of junk M$ put out to quiet (for a time) their critics. What did they do? Mostly, they turned on a useless firewall (useless because you can get much better for free, not to mention the fact that it breaks a number of applications).When I was pushed SP2 a while back, it took me 1:30 hours to revert my laptop to a useable state. So, Caveat Emptor.

Ok if you only have five minutes

This book is for the mom who is looking for something to get her through a birthday party and not for those seriously looking to get into face painting as a serious hobby or business. The faces are basic and offer little for the imagination. If it were much less expensive it would get better reviews, but at the same cost you can get much better face painting books from the market. Check it out at the library instead.

Weird Staging

Handel: SemeleStaging is current vintage Eurotrash. Bartoli's mezzo lies too low for Semele and she strains to produce the required volume. Nikiteaun's voice also sorely lacks the strength needed for the role and her English pronunciation is atrocious. Tenor has a lovely voice which he produces without strain, both top and bottom, Orchestral playing excellent, and it is really better to listen to the sound track than to view tortuous sludge.

From Back Cover

A NEW DREAMShe's turned her back on glamour and fame and Kate Stanislaski Kimball had come home to begin a new life. The only thing more perfect than the beautiful - dilapidated - building she'd bought for her new dance school was Brody O'Connell, the frustrating, surprisingly fascinating contractor she'd hired for the renovation.A man didn't often come across a woman as gorgeous, sensuous, provocative... and utterly irritating as Kate. But Brody was determined to resist her effortless allure. She was Natasha Stanislaki's pampered, perfect daughter, and not at all the right woman for him. But every fiber of his being longed to make her his...[6th in The Stanislaskis series]

A true story badly told

Most of the story line for this book was actually the story of the Morning Star Commune, the charters, plot everything. I though there was something fishy so I did a search and found the Diggers web site and therein was the bio of the two communes that T.C used for his book. I don't know about the end of the book, very lame ending and could have been ripped from an actual even also. This was a lazy writing effort. Go to the Diggers web site and get the real story.

I agree -- Design Flaws

Pros:-->Decent sound for small unit. Crisp and clear, but a little short on the low end-->Cool look and integrates with ipod rather wellCons:-->Unable to adjust alarm volume of radio and ipod (not just buzzer). Always comes out as volume 20 or so. Very annoying and much too loud for me to stand. Even though the company brags about some gradual wake cycle, that volume has me jumping straight out of bed. I will be returning it based on this feature alone.-->Constant buzzing, static noise: minor, but it is there. Upsetting because the rest of the sound is great. But on quiet songs like classical music, is easily heard-->Too bright display -- as everyone else has said-->Click wheel sucks for changing alarm. If you want to change the alarm from your usual morning time, to the afternoon for an afternoon nap, it takes FOREVER. That clickwheel is annoying and slow to change.Summed up: Not worth the high price. Don't buy it.

Disappointing to Miles fan

You'll find better works out there, particularly if you're a Miles fan. The emphasis here is on Milt Jackson and his vibraphone, which gives the album a light, airy feeling. Missing is much of Miles' horn and sentiment. You also get a bit shortchanged with a mere 30 minutes of music. I would call this a "pleasant" album, which in my jazz-world is not a happy thing.

Horrible - Not Engaging

Baby Bumbling is a failed attempt to copy Baby Einstein. Most children cried when I popped it in and those who did not cry and hide were not engaged in anyway.If you want to communicate with your child I suggest Signing Time. Children as young as 13 months learned to Speak, Sign & even READ using Signing Time. They were engaged the entire time and the benefits were visible from day 1!Baby Bumble is a bad investment, our copies (vol. 1 & 2) pretty much went from mail box to trash basket.

Can't Go Wrong With the 'Mats on the Soundtrack

Give props to writer-director Greg Mottola for not repeating himself. The temptation must have been great to copy "Superbad" but "Adventureland" is a completely different animal. Both are coming-of-age flicks but the tone here is bittersweet. "Adventureland" is funny in part but it's mostly poignant. I like this film alot but it didn't resonate in my subconscious like "Superbad". This is not to slight the film but only fair warning to anybody expecting something else.

I need negative stars

This is the second graphic novel I've needed negative stars to adequately express my feelings for in the last two months. I really was taken aback by Stan Lee's writing. "He created my favorite comic superhero, Spider-man, how bad could this be?" was my thought when I bought this. The story lines are really bad. I guess the best way to describe it would be to compare the stories to the mostly bad 70's comics. This isn't something that I'll ever reread due to the poorly written stories which is a shame since I respect most of Stan Lee's work. My true review of this would be about negative 2 stars. I hated it but I didn't throw it away which I was very tempted to do with Frank Miller's DK2 travesty.

One of the worst books I've ever read

I don't write many reviews but I felt that I HAD to for this horrible piece of crap! How can a major publisher allow a book like this to be released? With it's ridiculous plot, incredibly boring dialogue, and horrible characters it's like reading something written by a dim-witted high school english student.Bottom line: Reading "The Camel Club" was a very painful experience and should never be done by anyone!

frustrated

listening to this book on CD, i felt as if i were listening to someone who had to write a thesis on the author of Lolita. Sho had to substantiate every thought and fact about this man according to a class she took, and a professor was going to grade her on every fact and footnote. i didn't like it. Please don't come crashing down on me for my response to this book. everytime i thought something very personal was about to be revealed or flushed out, it was cut short. I feel ms. nafisi kept an implacable barrier up which she put in place to keep the novel impersonal, and that barrier was to make it an academid thesis on nabakov, and in a sophomoric way. fine, but that's not what the book was promoted to be, and not what i would have purchased.

Good Quality for the price

I bought this vanity set for my 12 year old daughter because the style matched with her bed. It arrived a week before they said it would, was very well packaged with all parts and hardware intact. It was very easy to put together and looks just as the picture showed. The quality was what I expected, it is made of metal tubes that are pretty sturdy. Be advised that the "silver" finish is painted on and is more of a gray than a stainless steel silver.

Fluffy book sourced with National Enquirer articles

Here's a real-review:*The first 100 pages are about how her mother made her get a nose job that when wrong.*The second 100 pages are about the Frankenstein movie.*The last 90 pages are about every movie-star that's ever gotten cosmetic surgery.And the whole thing is stitched together with an English teacher's weekend theory on how a mix of "Simulations and Simulacra" + "The Ego and the Id" explain why people get cosmetic surgery. If you're someone who orders books online based on catchy titles, then do yourself a favor and skip this one. How can a book on cosmetic surgery not even talk about the golden ratio?

mom of two

Have been using this booster with my 3-year old for about a month as his younger sister needed his previous convertible (also a Graco); love the booster. Easy to use, my son can climb in and out of the seat very easily. Added bonus - the cup holders are in perfect position for him (location in previous seat was awkward and the cups always ended up on the floor, rolling under the front seat). At his age on longer car trips during which he naps, I do miss the 5-point harness that kept him in a better position (he doesn't much care for the head pillow that came with the booster), but, once seated, if you pull the shoulder strap all the way out so that it retracts and "locks" it helps give him some additional support (and keeps him from wiggling side to side). We are very pleased with this seat overall, have already been asked about it by many of our friends, and highly recommend it.

Impressive

This is a pretty impressive album. I was rooting for 50 but you simply can't deny that this album has life to it. Hip hop probably did die in the late 90s with Biggie and the last few imitators who followed. I can't help but feeling that 50s album just followed the same tired rap album formula. As for Kanye's album, it simply defies any genre. It's not really rap, not quite pop. It's just very original and fun to listen to. There are some really powerful songs on this album. I would recommend this refreshing album.

A useless book

I was already surprised when I received a book called "What is Feng Shui?" and it was so small! I know something about Feng Shui and it is not explainable in such a small space! And reading it my impression was confirmed: no interesting information but a skeptical point of view, aiming to say, in the end, that Feng Shui is a " farrago of nonsense and childish absurdities". So, Feng Shui student, do not buy this book because it is completely useless. And a little irritating, too.Federica LangI would rate it no star, if I could.

Read Gatorvalenz first - NOT FOR WIDE ANGLE

I (foolishly) purchased this filter to place upon a Tokina 12 - 24 mm Nikon lens, exactly the same as Gatorvalenz, because I was too carried away with the 'buy me too....' approach engendered (and desired) by Amazon. That's fine, my mistake. It cost an additional USD 30 to buy a filter that would work effectively with the Tokina lens. As a side note (almost...) this filter comes with the WORST packaging I have ever seen. Fine if you buy from the store, but not so great (for me...) when the filter traverses 10 time zones via Fedex/UPS/Other Carrier of Your Choice. Luckily (and this was probably pure luck...) the filter was OK - but useless for the intended use!

Kurt would approve...

This was a great book, a great read for any diehard Nirvana/Kurt Cobain fan like myself. I also have Cobain by the Editors of Rolling Stone, and the fantastic Come As You Are by Michael Azerrad(?), but this is better than both. A great read, a great book to get someone for Christmas, I thoroughly recommend it. the result of four years work, this has interviews with courtney, extracts from kurts diary, and you start to understand the troubled genius that was Kurt Cobain. the final chapter takes you step by step through Kurt's last waking hours and is incredibly vivid. i was left feeling overwhelmed.

What a Cop Out!

Bringing Frank back was a great idea. The rest was crap. I can't believe that it would all end this way! ACC has got to be senile. This has none of the mystery or beauty of 2001, nor the intelligence of 2010 or 2061. And frankly, I don't think that the monoliths can be beaten by some computer virus. Come on! They pulled the same side show trick in ID4! Let me guess: The monoliths are IBM compatible and run on Windows 95. I don't think so! I thought that the series would end on a brighter note than this, I really did. Maybe someone should rewrite it for ACC.

Was there an editor? Contrived and Tedious

This is one of the silliest books I've ever read. The characters were original, but they all spoke like actors in cheap movies. Lines like a stewardess saying "It will be almost four hours to Paris even on the Concorde." are common. This is how the author tries to get information across - by having the characters over explain in a stilted lifeless way, most with "cute" accents. The title character's husband and ex both call her an "idiot" and "stupid woman" knocking her down on a gravel walkway, and then walk off together to buy each other a drink. This is played for laughs.How this book was nominated for an Edgar Award, I'll never know. Must have been a bad year for first novels
