1	Stephanie Kicks...[but] in more ways than one in this book	The author has really hit her stride in this 4th book in the Stephanie Plum series. The books have been consitantly enjoyable, with a heroine who has good instincts, but is otherwise about as 'ordinary' as the rest of us, and who unlike some other people, hasn't let the job title 'bounty hunter' go to her head.It's the people around Stephanie who make her stories so memorable in a way. Her crazy grandmother Mazur, Joe, the gorgeous cop sort-of-boyfriend, the drag queens and her mortal enemy Joyce and Lula the ex-ho filer.In this book stephanie gets what looks like a simple pick up for a lady named Maxine. It leads to arson, murder and sex.I'm really enjoying this series. While these books can be read independatly (the titles have numbers in them to give the order), they are best read in sequence to appreace references to past events. Extremely worthwhile crime fiction, I can now see why everybody raves about them.	positive
1	good experience	this is my second time ordering this particular product, both times everything was fine each time would order it again	positive
1	It sounds like LARS, NOT like RANCID	If you love the ska-punk sound of RANCID and are not into heavier styles of punk, then this albumn is likely not for you.A lot of other people compare this band to RANCID, but the only thing RANCID about it is Lars F's voice. However, if you still want to listen to some good old fashioned no-frills punk rock sung by one of punk's most beloved artists, then you will definitely not be disappointed with this albumn.	positive
0	disappointing read	As an avid book reader and lover of mysteries I must say I was very disappointed in this book. I had heard so much about Sue Grafton's "alphabet" books that I couldn't wait to read one. I can't say I would read another. Not enough character development & too many characters made for a rather slow-paced and dull book. I would at least like to care about the characters - especially if they're going to live or die. In this case, none mattered. You never felt anything towards them. I found Kinsey very boring. Characterize her a little more, Ms. Grafton if you want us to care. The ending of the book is probably one of the worst I've seen in awhile. "I blew him away". Yikes, is that the best you could come up with? Maybe since it is the first she wrote, I can cut her a break and try the next letter. Hopefully, I'll have more luck. I can't say I would waste any time on this first one.	negative
1	KVM Switches and Optical Mice Don't Mix Well	All KVM switches do not work well with wireless keyboard/mouse setups. I believe that is why the reviewer below was having trouble. This KVM switch works well with Dell computers that have a standard USB keyboard and mouse/trackball connection.	positive
1	Works	I didn't have any problems with these cables; plug one end into a USB port, the other end into a USB device whose cord is too short. For reference, they're dark gray in color.	positive
0	Disappointing	I, like a lot of other people, got caught up in the hype of this book and assumed it was going to be fantastic. This book was such a disappointment.The book is about a young girl who is raped and murdered by a neighbour. The story is told from her perspective after she dies. She is able to watch her family go on living without her. I guess I just expected better.	negative
1	Finally got this cd!	I was fortunate to see Rod Stewart this past week at Caesar's Palace and was surprised that Rod has turned into quite the entertainer and not just another aging rocker! The show was titled 'The Hits' and that is just what he did, with the majority of songs coming from as far back as The Faces.This cd (one of his first four)has always escaped me due to the price, but I grabbed it up at his merchandise counter in the casino boutique at a fair price. The first thing I did was spin this disc upon my return home. Needless to say I wasn't disappointed. I am not a fan of his later stuff including the American Masters releases. If you are a fan of his early stuff pick up his first 4 album releases. I also highly recommend the Faces 4 disc set 'Four Guys Walk Into A Bar'... awesome!By the way Rod had the Colliseum on their feet thru most of his show! His show was the highlight of our week in Vegas :)	positive
1	Great book on communication skills to deal with people who criticze you	I have read "When I Say No, I Feel Guilty" and found it a great book on learning communication skills to deal with people who criticize you. Working in an office environment, I decided to get Vol. II. I found that this book had a rich sample on fogging that expanded further from the first book. Even the descriptions of some of the communication skills were described in a different manner that enabled me to understand the skill even better. I think to get the most out of the communication skills being presented in Vol. II, you need the first book as a foundation.	positive
1	Enchanted	This is All I Ask. I could not have asked for a better stor.From the very first moment i began to read the book..i was trapped.Trapped in a web of enchantment,romance and anticipation.I couldn't put it down.Everytime i finished a page i just had to read another.I loved the way the heroes discovered themselves and eachother.It made me laugh and cry.I could feel the emotion eminating from each and every page.I was throughly caght up in the whole of it.I have re-read it as often as i can. A definate must! This Is All I Ask....is a book all romance lovers should read.	positive
1	Cheap, but practical	This spring-wound clock was just what I was looking for. It's cheap, relatively sturdy, and it has an alarm loud enough to wake the dead. Be sure that you want a loud alarm if you buy this as an alarm clock. My only qualm with it is that it seems to have a short lifetime: about a year or less. Therefore, I recommend any purchaser to hold on to the included warranty: if the clock goes bust within a year (which it very well might), you can send it in for a new one free of charge. Good for travel, as you don't need to set the time every time you travel somewhere, as I have had to do when the backup battery of my electronic alarm clock ran down, as it inevitably did.	positive
1	Solid grater with a single flaw	In general we've loved this grater. It's very solidly built with a good assortment of grating sizes. We haven't encountered the rust problem some have noted, though we've washed it both in the dishwasher and by hand, depending on what we've been grating.Other graters we've had in the past have come apart either because of poor welding or weak plastic, but this model has taken everything a cook can throw at it without complaint. The only downside is the rubber no-slip ring on the bottom. We would remove it for washing, but after a few times in the dishwasher, it began to get brittle and broke. It's not a critical flaw for us by any means as most graters we've owned haven't had a ring at all. Still, if you think you want a no-slip bottom, you might want to look at other graters.	positive
0	nightmare	Linksys obviously doesn't have all the bugs worked out. I followed the documentation that came with the card for windows xp. The driver install brought my laptop to its knees.I too am running a compaq presario 900. After several pointless calls to Linksys tech support ("Well, maybe try it in another computer.") I did manage to get the card to work for about 5 minutes. Then the system continued to reboot with the card in.I tried the new drivers from the linksys web site and various permutations of the correct install procedure, all to no avail.Looks like I'll have to stick with a tried and true card until someone figures this out.	negative
0	Not received	I still haven't received an issue yet. Said the first issue was due on jan. 7th, it is now the 27th	negative
1	Love it	Great! I love this! Super shipping speed!I am happy to buy this product.This seller is so kind!Love	positive
1	Great plushie!	This plush kitty is awesome. We named ours and pretend like it's our child. The face looks a little angry sometimes, but it's so cute and cuddly.	positive
1	Great Starter Set	I purchased this set as a gift for my teenager who wanted to try calligraphy. It is perfect. I looked at sets that had more and less nibs, but this selection of nibs is just the right number for a starter set. It writes beautifully, and is used almost daily.	positive
0	didn't work for me	used about 3 of these over a two year period, although in partly shaded places, and never caught any YJs. The reusable rescue trap(which I guess i am having trouble finding in stores now) worked fairly well. I did use water as per instructions, however. did not try the apple juice thing.Guess people don't find this review helpful, that is OK. There might be regional differences or other poorly understood factors. Just my experience with the product. The YJ problem is so bad around our property(especially after mild winter) got stung several times this year and personally destroyed 2 underground nests, yet they are still around. Have heard they can forage for a quarter of a mile away. We live in one of the Gulf Coast states and maybe that is a factor. Maybe our YJs are smarter than the ones in other places, who knows. I have to try this again but will use apple juice mixture this time.	negative
1	not complete, but close to it	My daughter is tatting for many years, and she were surprised to find many helpful little tips she were looking for separetely in internet and in library all in one book	positive
0	It's a knockoff. Not Sony.	If you say it's by Sony then send one by Sony. If I wanted Chinatown quality I'd take the train to Chinatown.	negative
1	The Album Everyone Loves	The Blondie album everyone knows and adores. The punk influences are only vaguely evident here, to be replaced by some of the catchiest pop ever written, sometimes with a gloss and sheen that could make ABBA sound (almost) slightly abrasive. Despite the kitch leanings, their is enough of the gilted wit and New York swagger to keep the album in a class of its own. Deborah Harry evokes attitude to make all men want her and all women want to be her, and Clem Bourke's drumming is nothing short of awe inspiringBest Tracks: Fade Away And Radiate, Heart Of Glass, 11:59	positive
0	Would not recommend	Too basic no real insight into what they do and how they do it. No interesting interviews with former SF-operatives. Well a bit of a disappointment. I gave the DVD to a friend.	negative
0	Unequal shuffling	This product does shuffle but the left side finishes about 15 cards before the right side and it will sometimes turn a card over and nearly always has a card or two standing up on the side walls.	negative
1	Space by Andrew Chaikin	This is a coffee table size book with many spectacular photos from space and from other aspects of the Space Program. Andrew Chaikin has don his usual marvelous job with this book. It is even more than I expected and it was received in new condition on a timely basis. I intend to get all of Andrew Chaikin's books.	positive
0	Terrible Product	I cannot say enough bad things about this device. It works sporadically, the fast forward and reverse only operate at 2x, it does not jump forward and backward between tracks (even though it is supposed to). Customer service is terrible. The product is so aggravating that I threw it out. I am a very "computer literate" person, and my problemns were not due to user error.	negative
0	Not for TiVo	The site did not state the version of the software. TiVo can only use version 2.6 or 2.8 and some 3.0. This is version 4.1 and will not work on TiVo. I wish the site had listed what version it was before I ordered.	negative
0	Not a fan of the texture & needs more blueberries for sure	I wasn't a big fan of this bar. I probably still have a taste for SAD diet foods though I've only been eating raw for a month. I didn't care for the texture and in my opinon there aren't nearly enough blueberries either. I love the texture of the blueberry Larabar and it tastes SO much better...to bad the Larabar isn't raw!	negative
1	Go Girl!	I have had her cd for over at least 6 months.I love all of her songs.They all havve a grundgy type of music.Where Ever I go my LEFT OF THE MIDDLE cd goes too.I enjoy her work,and im eager for her next album. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK NATALIE!	positive
1	Insightful!	If you still think you have to hammer yourself to get ahead, stop doing two things at once and listen to Robert J. Kriegel. The author, an expert in human performance and the psychology of change, says most people work too strenuously at a frantic pace that generates stress and reduces performance. You can perform better if you work smarter, even at 80% or 90% of your current buzz. If you've read human potential success books, some of this will sound familiar, but Kriegel focuses on becoming successful while having a full personal life. He quotes managers and employees, and outlines exactly what you should do. You're on your own figuring out what a 90% effort amounts to, but if you're a mid-level manager or executive who likes Kriegel's idea of winning-by-easing-up, we recommend that you somehow find the time to read his book.	positive
1	Great Book	This book was very helpful when I broke my wrist and had to learn to do continential knitting. I am right handed so continential worked well while my wrist was healing and I didn't have to just sit while it healed.	positive
1	Perpetual Commotion	WE LOVE THIS GAME!!! It is very fast-paced and fun. We have purchased the expansion packs as well, so that we can have LOTS of people playing at the same time.	positive
0	Terrible Movie!!!	All I can say is this movie stinks. Statham must need money to star in this gross movie. I will research any movie Statham is in from now on. Please don't buy this movie unless you are a 1 star movie fan	negative
0	What games???	I have been creating interactive media including e-learning for over 12 years, been a Professor of interactive media and e-learning design for over 8 years, and am currently seeking a PhD in E-Learning. This book is not worth the money. The information in it is only representational of the typical online instruction with message board usage. There are no interactive gaming examples or information for creating e-learning games. The title is extremely misleading.The same information at a cheaper price with an easier read and better examples can be found in "Engaging the Online Learner: Activities and Resources for Creative Instruction" by Conrad and Donaldson.	negative
0	Lacks Depth	The book did start off on a good note, but it seems to lose track of scientific temper of research. Research is a structured investigation. Data sources seem inadequete & substantial bits are missing. Like author's first hand experience. This makes it look like a coverup for a frustrated minority.	negative
0	Yuck...	If you want to hear kids sing, ask your friend to sing to you. It's a lot cheaper, and chances are, your friend will sound a lot better then the group of kids that sing this boring, annoying series of CDs! If I were a singer, I would never let Kidz Bop butcher my songs! Actually, in my opinion, the songs aren't the same as the originals much at all. The music is screwy, the person they have sing lead is a terrible vocalist, and the kids sound just as bad. I would recommend the Radio Disney CDs. Not only are they clean, but they don't have a bunch of kids ruin hit songs. Ugh! When will the Kidz Bop series end? Hopefully soon.	negative
0	Might be good for cat food but doubt meant for human consumption!	Growing up on the Oregon coast, you get used to good salmon. This stuff was soggy, oily, and did not taste right at all. I ended up throwing it away after trying it. First time in my life I've ever tossed salmon! Disappointing. Wish I could get a refund.	negative
1	I love these socks!	I wasn't comfortable being barefoot in my gym studio, but now I feel my feet are protected. I don't slip. The socks wash beautifully.	positive
1	Invaluable for scale model building!	I use it all the time while building models. In particular, sanding and painting individual road wheels in armor projects.	positive
1	Exactly as advertised	The vest fit perfectly and I had numerous compliments. It has been suggested as appropriate wear for Valentines Day. A must have for the holiday season.	positive
1	I love this book!	Having never read any of Peter Hamilton's other novels, and being rather new to the SF genre, it came as an amazing surprise to discover a story that enmeshed me so totally I could not put it down. I read the first part in two days, rushed to find the second part (which I had not realized existed), devoured that in a day and night, and almost wept when I realized I would have to wait to learn the fate of so many characters I came to care so much about. I have become a major fan of the author, such a wonderous story. I am definitely going to read his other works	positive
0	infant seat rest doesn't work for active babies	Our 4-month old son likes to kick and push off with his feet, which he does against the toddler side of the tub. This makes him slide down off the infant seatrest and he ends up lying on it with his head at an awkward angle too close to the surface of the water. As another reviewer mentioned, I think the infant seat rest is too slippery to hold a taller baby in the lying position.	negative
0	Beware of the Kindle edition...	I was excited to have something worthwhile in the realm of a harmony of Kings, Chronicles and Samuel. I eagerly downloaded this eBook and was immediately disappointed. It simply contains the text of Samuel, Kings and Chronicles. Nothing from the author at all. I am not sure if this is an oversight on the part of the publisher/author or if it was intended. The hard copy edition may be very useful, but the Kindle edition is nothing more than the beloved Scriptures (including only Samuel, Kings, Chronicles) that you more than likely already have in every room of your home. I would not suggest it in it's current form.	negative
1	Explaining the past.	The story line goes where no historian has dared to go. Puts the earth's history in a logical prospective. Links the distant past into one world civilization. Explains the relationship between South America, the Middle East & China. Teacher's, leave our kids alone...!	positive
1	Flexible Shower Head	We had trouble finding this type of shower head in Hardware Stores. Our previous one, the same brand, Waterpik, lasted 14 years. I was delighted to find this on the Amazon Web Site. It arrived in two days and took less than 5 minutes to install. My only concern is that the chrome will wear off and it won't look good. Our previous shower head was vinyl coated and still looked like new but the hose had finally given out.	positive
1	The second best book I've ever read...	James Redfield, in The Celestine Prophecy and The Tenth Insight, has given us the greatest gift we could hope to receive...the meaning of life. Those who doubt the truth and validity of the insights are simply not ready to accept the changes to come. Redfield's books have changed thousands of lives, and given spiritual awareness to many previously-professed atheists/agnostics.If you only read these books for the excitement of the "adventure," you will be entertained, at the very least.In my opinion, any reader will stop and contemplate life more than they had previously. That makes every reader more conscious, which raises our collective consciousness! (One step at a time...)I negate the accusations of "commercialism" in reference to Mr. Redfield or his work. His contribution to society is worth much more than any amount he could earn.James Redfield's works have been the turning point of my life. HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!	positive
1	"Just as I expected"	it's an awesome hat, just what i wanted.........price was right also. shipping was fasttttt.... great company to order from.....i'll order again for sure!!!! thanks for everything, Jade from louisiana......	positive
1	Great Toy	My 4 year old figured out how to use all of the features in about 30 minutes. She chases us around the house constantly taking pictures and making movies. She loves, loves, loves it. The special effects are hilarious, the movies have sound and the games are fun. It just fell from the top of the fridge and still works just great. We haven't tried to print pictures yet but she doesn't care nor do I. So don't worry about the photo quality - it is a toy afterall. The kids just want to take pictures and they don't know the photos aren't LIFE magazine quality. Would buy again in a heart beat.	positive
1	an imagination of one's mind	I am much interested in teaching lessons for kids. There are too many books to teach knowledge, but hard to find any to teach wisdom. We, adults, sholud teach our children the abstract conceptions, such as happy, perseverence, love, imagination, wisdom, mercy etc, through books. I think this book is really good because I can teach easily my children that you can be what you think in your mind, what you will think in your mind, good or bad. Introduce this book to your kids,and discuss the strength of imagination. Thank you.	positive
1	Hallmark Collector's Set Vol. 3	Got it for gifts to my family but I had seen all of the movies on it and knew they would like them.	positive
0	Wish I returned it	Its so hard to make good tasting pops at home and this doesnt really help. Save your self the trouble so buy them at the store.	negative
1	Good product with a decent price	I purchased these to replace Rain-X wipers on my 2002 Elantra GT. Its performance is probably a bit better but it wipes much quieter. The installation was quite simple and fool-proof. If pricing is under 10 bucks, then it will be a really great deal.	positive
0	Wrong model. Didn't do the trick.	I wish there were a better way of describing these filters. I ordered these after doing some (obviously not enough) research, and they were the wrong type. A total nuisance. I am more inclined to blame the manufacturer of the refrigerator than the seller of these filters. By the way, they are the actual Whirlpool product, and not a generic.	negative

1	ABSOULUTE MUST HAVE CD, GREAT NEW BAND AND HOT!!!	I THINK THE NEW BAND DREAM STREET CAUSE THEY WORD HARD FOR WHERE THEY ARE RIGHT NOW AND THEIR MUSIC IS AWESOME. I THINK WE NEED MORE BANDS LIKE THIS AND THAT IT SHOULDNT STOP BECAUSE THEY SHOULD DO WHAT THEY WANT TOI DO AND THATS EXACALLY WHAT THIS BAND DID THEY WORKED HARD UNTILL THEY MADE THERE DREAM COME TRUE. ALL I KNOW IS THERE SHOULNT BE AN AGE GROUP FOR WHO CAN BE A FAMOUS SINGER OR NOT JUST AS LONG AS ITS WHAT THEY WANT TO DO AND THERE DREAM NO ONE CAN STOP THEM. AND I THINK THAT IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THESE 5 BOYS BECOMING A BAND THEN DONT LISTEN TO THEIR MUSIC BECAUSE JUST BECAUSE YOU DONT LIKE THEM BECOMING A BAND DOESNT MEAN ANYTHING. THIS IS A GREAT BAND AND THEY WORKED UP TO THEIR POTENTION AND ID LIKE TO SEE THEM STAY THERE FOR A LONG TIME. AND THIS IS AN ABSOULUTE MUST HAVE CD. YOU GO DREAM STREET!!!	positive
0	It is the most degrading book by a black woman author	My daughter brought this book home to read. I was appauled.This book written by a black woman is degrading Afro-American people as well as black women. I feel Afro-American people haven't reach the diversity to talk about our hair. The language(Black English) is not how Black people talk today. I feel Herron need to be sued by the Black community .She has allot of guts writing some insulting literature for other cultural to relate to in the class room. She is slapping her race in the face, as well as calling us "Buck Wheat" off the Little Rascals.I feel as a Afro-American Historian and educator. I couldn't get away with teaching or reading this literature to a class of white children or any other ethnic child. I would be fired not resigned to another school.	negative
1	Watch it before you show it to the kids	Loved the whole retro feel, but please watch this before you show it to the kids. It is PG13, and besides some mild language there is a very disturbing scene in the first 5 minutes I wasn't prepared for. It was tastefully done, but I really wished I had known. I thought the Green Lantern story line was great, but the last part felt like Origins from Justice Leage and wasn't really necessary. It was kind of rushed at the end, but it left me wanting more.	positive
0	Tea Leaves Everywhere!	The basket mesh is not fine enough to prevent the tea leaves from escaping the basket. I have tried pressing fast and slow and slower, nothing works. Each time, I end up with tea leaves in the pot and have to strain it anyway. I would not recommend this item.	negative
1	Item was as described	Item shipped was same as described in the listing. It will come in handy for a friend who has Parkinson's and trembling hands. Thanks	positive
0	Suprisingly un-great...	A couple good songs, and the rest blah.It says that I have to write twelve more words, so here.	negative
1	Derek (Should be Deric..) & Dominos never sounded so good	This 3 Cd set comes with the original Layla CD, aa CD full of beautiful jams, and a CD of alternate Masters...that's a given. But listen to "Have You Ever Love a Woman-Alternate Master 1"...it's better than the original! THAT'S a tough one to beat....All of Eric's solos are passionate and full of inspiration....only second to the period between 1974-1978	positive
1	ADO Programming in Visual Basic 6	I'd been trying to learn ADO coming from FoxPro 2.6 (the old days). Nothing I'd read tied the topic together as well as this book did. I'd rate it as somewhere between a reference book and a beginner's learning edition. Some pages are taken up with code examples that can be found on the CD. All in all, however, this is the first book I turn to now when I need an answer regarding ADO.	positive
1	Very happy	I ordered this duvet cover after I first checked out the Novelty Snowmen Queen sheet set. I was sceptical about buying sheets online as I had bad experiences even when I purchased sheets in the stores (getting rough after wash). But these sheets and duvet cover are really nice - warm and soft even after multiple washes. And the duvet cover fit my queen comforter really well. When used with the matching sheets, the bed is really warm and cozy, even when you first get into the bed in the night. I am ordering a second duvet cover in another pattern for my other bedroom. Hoping it will save me the hassle of washing my comforters each time I get guests.	positive
0	Lasted 1 year and 4 days-Buyers beware	We liked the picture quality while it lasted-Broken after 1 year-4 days of moderate use. Hyundai warranty is only for 1 year from purchase date. Bought this online and the warranty started when I paid for it, not when we received and started using it (was used less than a year). Warranty was denied. We have rarely had cause to write a review of anything but felt this was necessary to prevent others from buying a bad product. We are going next to buy a major brand LCD TV with a better history, customer service and a local service center!	negative
1	A Class-Act Businesswoman	I was deeply impressed by Carolyn Kepcher and Stephen Fenichell's book about the high-profile businesswoman. While watching the first season of "The Apprentice" on television I was impressed by the way that Donald Trump's right-hand businesswoman carried herself and the way that she presented her intelligence in a thoughtful and constructive way.The book is a fast-read which is packed with good information. I personally liked her sections on "The Bad Boss," (no, she was not referring to Donald Trump) how to work with a lousy boss and still maintain your credibility, and "The Good Company," a look at identifying companies that will look out for you if you look out for them. I found Ms. Kepcher's advice throughout the book to be sound and extremely applicable to today's workplace. I heartily encourage people, especially women, to read and learn from this book.	positive
0	Amusing Ourselves To Death	After reading the many rave reviews, I was expecting a series with genuine substance... or at least some real entertainment value. If you liked Independence Day or Armageddon, you'll probably love Battlestar Galactica. Each of these productions offer obvious plots, one-dimensional characters, and focus on bombastic special effects to carry the message.Sadly, productions of this genre offer little more than mindless titillation. Brainless offerings like this pale in comparison to Sci-Fi greats like Star Trek the Next Generation, Star Wars, and 2001: A Space Odyssey. The supposedly campy gimmicks -- like 20th century navigation tools complete with old-tech light tables, grease pencils and Corvette analog dial gauges -- serve more to insult the viewer's intelligence than enrich the story. Battlestar Galactica simply adds to the current heap of meaningless trivia from which America amuses itself to death.	negative
0	This Item has been recalled and is illegal to sell or re-sell in the USA	I thought it was a great sling. But since there has been a recall, it should not be sold from Amazon or craigslist or a garage sale even.	negative
1	Very Nice product	It picks up well and is very lightweight and easy to use. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is because it's rather tough and messy to clean.	positive
0	Horrific and Hackneyed	This atrocious excuse for a novel starts out with a list of the number of ships in the fleets of the Galaxy Defenders and Empire of Conquerors, respectively. Um -- why should I care? The book is all clunky exposition and has a hackneyed plot that's nothing more than a blend of Animorphs and Star Wars.Terrible, and most certainly not worth $14 -- or even 14 cents. And I know for a fact that every single review for this book is either by the author, his aunt, his grandmother, or his mother.	negative
0	Grim, depressng	I bought this book at Stonehenge on a recent visit. I found the book unrelentingly depressing...you come to care for characters who live out unheroic, hard, sad lives. I can accept that some of the historical details are a good reconstruction, but find that the narrative needn't have taken the turns it does to convey the information.	negative
0	Misleading	I just got this unit and must say that I am disappointed. It maybe because I was expecting it fully decode hdmi audio instead of having another optical in for the same source. So when I connect my PS3 I can not listen to full uncompressed audio in LPCM which is available only in hdmi. If you have only optical audio to take care of, you will be find with this receiver. But if you are looking at it just because it has "HDMI", beware and read the fine prints.	negative
1	Assemble Notice	Once you have assembled tires, you could not re-assemble it unless to destroy the Push Cap. I did not notice it needs 2 large washers at each side of the end axle. Vender sent me new Push Caps for re-assemble tires. I finally re-assemble tires with 2 washers each side successfully.Need put some oil or use WD40 for push the handle tube over the back frame tubes.It is not easy to secure the bolts with Nuts, if you like the tool pouch can be take off or put it back easily, do not secure the pouch by bolts/nuts, try to use other way to hang the pouch.	positive
0	Milking It...	Seems to me the authors of the Left Behind series are milking it for everything it's worth. I've been a loyal fan of the series but The Remnant was very disappointing. It left me wondering how I'd get through another year (and two more books) of the Tribulation.	negative
1	Great game once you get the controles down>	This is really a great game. the graphics are pretty good the game play is intence and fun, but the controles are quire aquerd. Its not easy usein the left analog stick to go forward backware and side to side and the right analog stick to tern and look up and downand to punch kick jump and crawl with the L and R bottons. but once you get use to is you'll be able to dodge a guys fire wile kicking his buddy in the head with ease wile at the same time recharging your health and drawing your wepon all in the same motion. To wrap it up I'd recomend this game to any one who like fast paced action in an anime style area.	positive
1	Perfect solution for credit cards falling out.	This wallet has solved the problem of credit cards falling out. Normally, a wallet will start to lose the ability to hold credit cards as leather gets stretched out, etc. This wallet has a zip-around feature so nothing is ever going to fall out. It's also very slim... a perfect 5 star from me!	positive
1	Blondes - Four points of view	The four blondes are ultra similar in their self-absorption-for each it's all about me, me, me, men, men, men and money, money, money. Each has boatloads of "friends" yet each finds herself ultra alone in the world. Each runs with the A-list crowd. The collection of stories could have been ultra-repetitive. But Bushnell deftly chose different literary points-of-view for each story. Janey is searching for her man in third-person limited. The dysfunctional couple, James and Winnie, are written in an edgy present-tense by an all-seeing, all-knowing, unnamed narrator (Bushnell herself of course) so we get healthy doses their thoughts about each other. And nutty Princess Cecelia could only tell us her own story-and she does-in the first person. The seemingly simple, yet important choice of point-of-view, written by a skilled author turns a good, yet potentially repetitive book into an good collection.	positive
0	Nonsense List	A book of the 100 (now 110) people who are screwing up America should have Bush, Cheney, Rice, Rumsfeld, Hannity, Limbaugh, O'Reilly and Coulter on the cover... yet they don't even make the list?More of the usual Bush administration/GOP propaganda... and, as with all the other (Hannity, Coulter, O'Reilly) books, it reads as if it were written to be read by a 4th grader.	negative

0	Durability and design issues	Biggest issues are the fact that this series of Harmony remotes has problems charging. I have both a 890 and a 880, and they both have the same issue. You cannot place the remote just into the charger to charge it. Typically, after cleaning the contacts on both the charger and the remote with Isopropyl Alcohol, you still need to add weight on the remote to have it charge. This has been a problem with the 890 since I bought the remote about 4 - 5 years ago. I bought the 880 about a year later and it started having the same problem after a while. Some of the buttons on the 890 have stopped working completely. Logitech doesn't support these remotes, at all. They do not offer a repair service just a discount on purchasing another iffy remote.	negative

1	Pretty good, but not great	This is a pretty solid death metal album. It has a unique-ness about it that makes it appealing, however, it's not really great. Gets rather boring rather quickly.

1	first time four stars	This book wasn't the exact page-turner I had heard it would be but never the less it still was promising. The characters were rich but I found that sometimes they seemed almost to contradict themselves . Other characters in the background also, were given more play then they should and some weren't given enough. I have to give this book fourstars even though I would give it a 3.5 because the beginning was slow and certain parts were longer than necessary. Although this is the author's first book I give her a pat on the back because as first novel's go this was a pretty good job. Kudos.	positive
1	Just great.	I found this book a little too cliche for me in the beginning, because I did not know what to expect from it (I received it as a present).

0	Another nail in Doctor Who's coffin ...	This episode also defines all the abominable horrors in Doctor Who's final years which sealed its fate and got it cancelled. Silly premises, camp execution, inability to suspend disbelief, bland dialogue and virtually lucidiously homosexual secondary characters with child molesting undertones makes this story (and most all late 80s Doctor Who episodes) unwatchable for the over 10 year old crowd. I was still trying to watch the series at this point, but even I couldn't take the schlock in THIS demented episode.

The cats looked at treats, seeminlgly uninterested, gave a little sniff, and walked away. They rejected the snacks. I tried sneaking it into their food but stil no luck. It's almost as though my cats know it's medicine, and therefore they avoid it.I've been able to get them to eat another brand of hairball treats called temptations, but I'm not sure if it's been effective at reducing their hairballs.Guess it was too good to be true that a kitty treat could work any magic on their hairballs.	negative
0	I stopped reading	I stopped reading when the character Dana gets her identity thief's driver's license in the mail. Boyle goes out of his way to explain that California will let you renew by mail if you have no outstanding warrants, yet the whole beginning of the book is Dana being arrested due to outstanding warrants of her identity thief. I feel like Comic Book guy here, but sorry, this is just lazy writing. Just one of several plot inconsistencies that made me unwilling to bother with this one.	negative
0	First book I couldn't finish	In all the books I have ever read, I have never decided not to finish one. I decided not to finish this one because it was becoming a chore to read it everyday.

Stephanie Kicks...[but] in more ways than one in this book

The author has really hit her stride in this 4th book in the Stephanie Plum series. The books have been consitantly enjoyable, with a heroine who has good instincts, but is otherwise about as 'ordinary' as the rest of us, and who unlike some other people, hasn't let the job title 'bounty hunter' go to her head.It's the people around Stephanie who make her stories so memorable in a way. Her crazy grandmother Mazur, Joe, the gorgeous cop sort-of-boyfriend, the drag queens and her mortal enemy Joyce and Lula the ex-ho filer.In this book stephanie gets what looks like a simple pick up for a lady named Maxine. It leads to arson, murder and sex.I'm really enjoying this series. While these books can be read independatly (the titles have numbers in them to give the order), they are best read in sequence to appreace references to past events. Extremely worthwhile crime fiction, I can now see why everybody raves about them.

It sounds like LARS, NOT like RANCID

If you love the ska-punk sound of RANCID and are not into heavier styles of punk, then this albumn is likely not for you.A lot of other people compare this band to RANCID, but the only thing RANCID about it is Lars F's voice. However, if you still want to listen to some good old fashioned no-frills punk rock sung by one of punk's most beloved artists, then you will definitely not be disappointed with this albumn.

disappointing read

As an avid book reader and lover of mysteries I must say I was very disappointed in this book. I had heard so much about Sue Grafton's "alphabet" books that I couldn't wait to read one. I can't say I would read another. Not enough character development & too many characters made for a rather slow-paced and dull book. I would at least like to care about the characters - especially if they're going to live or die. In this case, none mattered. You never felt anything towards them. I found Kinsey very boring. Characterize her a little more, Ms. Grafton if you want us to care. The ending of the book is probably one of the worst I've seen in awhile. "I blew him away". Yikes, is that the best you could come up with? Maybe since it is the first she wrote, I can cut her a break and try the next letter. Hopefully, I'll have more luck. I can't say I would waste any time on this first one.

Disappointing

I, like a lot of other people, got caught up in the hype of this book and assumed it was going to be fantastic. This book was such a disappointment.The book is about a young girl who is raped and murdered by a neighbour. The story is told from her perspective after she dies. She is able to watch her family go on living without her. I guess I just expected better.

Finally got this cd!

I was fortunate to see Rod Stewart this past week at Caesar's Palace and was surprised that Rod has turned into quite the entertainer and not just another aging rocker! The show was titled 'The Hits' and that is just what he did, with the majority of songs coming from as far back as The Faces.This cd (one of his first four)has always escaped me due to the price, but I grabbed it up at his merchandise counter in the casino boutique at a fair price. The first thing I did was spin this disc upon my return home. Needless to say I wasn't disappointed. I am not a fan of his later stuff including the American Masters releases. If you are a fan of his early stuff pick up his first 4 album releases. I also highly recommend the Faces 4 disc set 'Four Guys Walk Into A Bar'... awesome!By the way Rod had the Colliseum on their feet thru most of his show! His show was the highlight of our week in Vegas :)

Great book on communication skills to deal with people who criticze you

I have read "When I Say No, I Feel Guilty" and found it a great book on learning communication skills to deal with people who criticize you. Working in an office environment, I decided to get Vol. II. I found that this book had a rich sample on fogging that expanded further from the first book. Even the descriptions of some of the communication skills were described in a different manner that enabled me to understand the skill even better. I think to get the most out of the communication skills being presented in Vol. II, you need the first book as a foundation.

Cheap, but practical

This spring-wound clock was just what I was looking for. It's cheap, relatively sturdy, and it has an alarm loud enough to wake the dead. Be sure that you want a loud alarm if you buy this as an alarm clock. My only qualm with it is that it seems to have a short lifetime: about a year or less. Therefore, I recommend any purchaser to hold on to the included warranty: if the clock goes bust within a year (which it very well might), you can send it in for a new one free of charge. Good for travel, as you don't need to set the time every time you travel somewhere, as I have had to do when the backup battery of my electronic alarm clock ran down, as it inevitably did.

Solid grater with a single flaw

In general we've loved this grater. It's very solidly built with a good assortment of grating sizes. We haven't encountered the rust problem some have noted, though we've washed it both in the dishwasher and by hand, depending on what we've been grating.Other graters we've had in the past have come apart either because of poor welding or weak plastic, but this model has taken everything a cook can throw at it without complaint. The only downside is the rubber no-slip ring on the bottom. We would remove it for washing, but after a few times in the dishwasher, it began to get brittle and broke. It's not a critical flaw for us by any means as most graters we've owned haven't had a ring at all. Still, if you think you want a no-slip bottom, you might want to look at other graters.

nightmare

Linksys obviously doesn't have all the bugs worked out. I followed the documentation that came with the card for windows xp. The driver install brought my laptop to its knees.I too am running a compaq presario 900. After several pointless calls to Linksys tech support ("Well, maybe try it in another computer.") I did manage to get the card to work for about 5 minutes. Then the system continued to reboot with the card in.I tried the new drivers from the linksys web site and various permutations of the correct install procedure, all to no avail.Looks like I'll have to stick with a tried and true card until someone figures this out.

didn't work for me

used about 3 of these over a two year period, although in partly shaded places, and never caught any YJs. The reusable rescue trap(which I guess i am having trouble finding in stores now) worked fairly well. I did use water as per instructions, however. did not try the apple juice thing.Guess people don't find this review helpful, that is OK. There might be regional differences or other poorly understood factors. Just my experience with the product. The YJ problem is so bad around our property(especially after mild winter) got stung several times this year and personally destroyed 2 underground nests, yet they are still around. Have heard they can forage for a quarter of a mile away. We live in one of the Gulf Coast states and maybe that is a factor. Maybe our YJs are smarter than the ones in other places, who knows. I have to try this again but will use apple juice mixture this time.

The Album Everyone Loves

The Blondie album everyone knows and adores. The punk influences are only vaguely evident here, to be replaced by some of the catchiest pop ever written, sometimes with a gloss and sheen that could make ABBA sound (almost) slightly abrasive. Despite the kitch leanings, their is enough of the gilted wit and New York swagger to keep the album in a class of its own. Deborah Harry evokes attitude to make all men want her and all women want to be her, and Clem Bourke's drumming is nothing short of awe inspiringBest Tracks: Fade Away And Radiate, Heart Of Glass, 11:59

Insightful!

If you still think you have to hammer yourself to get ahead, stop doing two things at once and listen to Robert J. Kriegel. The author, an expert in human performance and the psychology of change, says most people work too strenuously at a frantic pace that generates stress and reduces performance. You can perform better if you work smarter, even at 80% or 90% of your current buzz. If you've read human potential success books, some of this will sound familiar, but Kriegel focuses on becoming successful while having a full personal life. He quotes managers and employees, and outlines exactly what you should do. You're on your own figuring out what a 90% effort amounts to, but if you're a mid-level manager or executive who likes Kriegel's idea of winning-by-easing-up, we recommend that you somehow find the time to read his book.

I have been creating interactive media including e-learning for over 12 years, been a Professor of interactive media and e-learning design for over 8 years, and am currently seeking a PhD in E-Learning. This book is not worth the money. The information in it is only representational of the typical online instruction with message board usage.

Yuck...

If you want to hear kids sing, ask your friend to sing to you. It's a lot cheaper, and chances are, your friend will sound a lot better then the group of kids that sing this boring, annoying series of CDs! If I were a singer, I would never let Kidz Bop butcher my songs! Actually, in my opinion, the songs aren't the same as the originals much at all. The music is screwy, the person they have sing lead is a terrible vocalist, and the kids sound just as bad. I would recommend the Radio Disney CDs. Not only are they clean, but they don't have a bunch of kids ruin hit songs. Ugh! When will the Kidz Bop series end? Hopefully soon.

Having never read any of Peter Hamilton's other novels, and being rather new to the SF genre, it came as an amazing surprise to discover a story that enmeshed me so totally I could not put it down. I read the first part in two days, rushed to find the second part (which I had not realized existed), devoured that in a day and night, and almost wept when I realized I would have to wait to learn the fate of so many characters I came to care so much about. I have become a major fan of the author, such a wonderous story. I am definitely going to read his other works

infant seat rest doesn't work for active babies

Our 4-month old son likes to kick and push off with his feet, which he does against the toddler side of the tub. This makes him slide down off the infant seatrest and he ends up lying on it with his head at an awkward angle too close to the surface of the water. As another reviewer mentioned, I think the infant seat rest is too slippery to hold a taller baby in the lying position.

Beware of the Kindle edition...

I was excited to have something worthwhile in the realm of a harmony of Kings, Chronicles and Samuel. I eagerly downloaded this eBook and was immediately disappointed. It simply contains the text of Samuel, Kings and Chronicles. Nothing from the author at all. I am not sure if this is an oversight on the part of the publisher/author or if it was intended. The hard copy edition may be very useful, but the Kindle edition is nothing more than the beloved Scriptures (including only Samuel, Kings, Chronicles) that you more than likely already have in every room of your home. I would not suggest it in it's current form.

The second best book I've ever read...

James Redfield, in The Celestine Prophecy and The Tenth Insight, has given us the greatest gift we could hope to receive...the meaning of life. Those who doubt the truth and validity of the insights are simply not ready to accept the changes to come. Redfield's books have changed thousands of lives, and given spiritual awareness to many previously-professed atheists/agnostics.If you only read these books for the excitement of the "adventure," you will be entertained, at the very least.In my opinion, any reader will stop and contemplate life more than they had previously. That makes every reader more conscious, which raises our collective consciousness! (One step at a time...)I negate the accusations of "commercialism" in reference to Mr. Redfield or his work. His contribution to society is worth much more than any amount he could earn.James Redfield's works have been the turning point of my life. HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

Great Toy

My 4 year old figured out how to use all of the features in about 30 minutes. She chases us around the house constantly taking pictures and making movies. She loves, loves, loves it. The special effects are hilarious, the movies have sound and the games are fun. It just fell from the top of the fridge and still works just great. We haven't tried to print pictures yet but she doesn't care nor do I. So don't worry about the photo quality - it is a toy afterall. The kids just want to take pictures and they don't know the photos aren't LIFE magazine quality. Would buy again in a heart beat.

an imagination of one's mind

I am much interested in teaching lessons for kids. There are too many books to teach knowledge, but hard to find any to teach wisdom. We, adults, sholud teach our children the abstract conceptions, such as happy, perseverence, love, imagination, wisdom, mercy etc, through books. I think this book is really good because I can teach easily my children that you can be what you think in your mind, what you will think in your mind, good or bad. Introduce this book to your kids,and discuss the strength of imagination. Thank you.

Good product with a decent price

I purchased these to replace Rain-X wipers on my 2002 Elantra GT. Its performance is probably a bit better but it wipes much quieter. The installation was quite simple and fool-proof. If pricing is under 10 bucks, then it will be a really great deal.

Wrong model. Didn't do the trick.

I wish there were a better way of describing these filters. I ordered these after doing some (obviously not enough) research, and they were the wrong type. A total nuisance. I am more inclined to blame the manufacturer of the refrigerator than the seller of these filters. By the way, they are the actual Whirlpool product, and not a generic.

It is the most degrading book by a black woman author

My daughter brought this book home to read. I was appauled.This book written by a black woman is degrading Afro-American people as well as black women. I feel Afro-American people haven't reach the diversity to talk about our hair. The language(Black English) is not how Black people talk today. I feel Herron need to be sued by the Black community .She has allot of guts writing some insulting literature for other cultural to relate to in the class room. She is slapping her race in the face, as well as calling us "Buck Wheat" off the Little Rascals.I feel as a Afro-American Historian and educator. I couldn't get away with teaching or reading this literature to a class of white children or any other ethnic child. I would be fired not resigned to another school.

Watch it before you show it to the kids

Loved the whole retro feel, but please watch this before you show it to the kids. It is PG13, and besides some mild language there is a very disturbing scene in the first 5 minutes I wasn't prepared for. It was tastefully done, but I really wished I had known. I thought the Green Lantern story line was great, but the last part felt like Origins from Justice Leage and wasn't really necessary. It was kind of rushed at the end, but it left me wanting more.

ADO Programming in Visual Basic 6

I'd been trying to learn ADO coming from FoxPro 2.6 (the old days). Nothing I'd read tied the topic together as well as this book did. I'd rate it as somewhere between a reference book and a beginner's learning edition. Some pages are taken up with code examples that can be found on the CD. All in all, however, this is the first book I turn to now when I need an answer regarding ADO.

Very happy

I ordered this duvet cover after I first checked out the Novelty Snowmen Queen sheet set. I was sceptical about buying sheets online as I had bad experiences even when I purchased sheets in the stores (getting rough after wash). But these sheets and duvet cover are really nice - warm and soft even after multiple washes. And the duvet cover fit my queen comforter really well. When used with the matching sheets, the bed is really warm and cozy, even when you first get into the bed in the night. I am ordering a second duvet cover in another pattern for my other bedroom. Hoping it will save me the hassle of washing my comforters each time I get guests.

Lasted 1 year and 4 days-Buyers beware

We liked the picture quality while it lasted-Broken after 1 year-4 days of moderate use. Hyundai warranty is only for 1 year from purchase date. Bought this online and the warranty started when I paid for it, not when we received and started using it (was used less than a year). Warranty was denied. We have rarely had cause to write a review of anything but felt this was necessary to prevent others from buying a bad product. We are going next to buy a major brand LCD TV with a better history, customer service and a local service center!

A Class-Act Businesswoman

I was deeply impressed by Carolyn Kepcher and Stephen Fenichell's book about the high-profile businesswoman. While watching the first season of "The Apprentice" on television I was impressed by the way that Donald Trump's right-hand businesswoman carried herself and the way that she presented her intelligence in a thoughtful and constructive way.The book is a fast-read which is packed with good information. I personally liked her sections on "The Bad Boss," (no, she was not referring to Donald Trump) how to work with a lousy boss and still maintain your credibility, and "The Good Company," a look at identifying companies that will look out for you if you look out for them. I found Ms. Kepcher's advice throughout the book to be sound and extremely applicable to today's workplace. I heartily encourage people, especially women, to read and learn from this book.

Amusing Ourselves To Death

After reading the many rave reviews, I was expecting a series with genuine substance... or at least some real entertainment value. If you liked Independence Day or Armageddon, you'll probably love Battlestar Galactica. Each of these productions offer obvious plots, one-dimensional characters, and focus on bombastic special effects to carry the message.Sadly, productions of this genre offer little more than mindless titillation. Brainless offerings like this pale in comparison to Sci-Fi greats like Star Trek the Next Generation, Star Wars, and 2001: A Space Odyssey. The supposedly campy gimmicks -- like 20th century navigation tools complete with old-tech light tables, grease pencils and Corvette analog dial gauges -- serve more to insult the viewer's intelligence than enrich the story. Battlestar Galactica simply adds to the current heap of meaningless trivia from which America amuses itself to death.

Horrific and Hackneyed

This atrocious excuse for a novel starts out with a list of the number of ships in the fleets of the Galaxy Defenders and Empire of Conquerors, respectively. Um -- why should I care? The book is all clunky exposition and has a hackneyed plot that's nothing more than a blend of Animorphs and Star Wars.Terrible, and most certainly not worth $14 -- or even 14 cents. And I know for a fact that every single review for this book is either by the author, his aunt, his grandmother, or his mother.

Grim, depressng

I bought this book at Stonehenge on a recent visit. I found the book unrelentingly depressing...you come to care for characters who live out unheroic, hard, sad lives. I can accept that some of the historical details are a good reconstruction, but find that the narrative needn't have taken the turns it does to convey the information.

Misleading

I just got this unit and must say that I am disappointed. It maybe because I was expecting it fully decode hdmi audio instead of having another optical in for the same source. So when I connect my PS3 I can not listen to full uncompressed audio in LPCM which is available only in hdmi. If you have only optical audio to take care of, you will be find with this receiver. But if you are looking at it just because it has "HDMI", beware and read the fine prints.

Great game once you get the controles down>

This is really a great game. the graphics are pretty good the game play is intence and fun, but the controles are quire aquerd. Its not easy usein the left analog stick to go forward backware and side to side and the right analog stick to tern and look up and downand to punch kick jump and crawl with the L and R bottons. but once you get use to is you'll be able to dodge a guys fire wile kicking his buddy in the head with ease wile at the same time recharging your health and drawing your wepon all in the same motion. To wrap it up I'd recomend this game to any one who like fast paced action in an anime style area.

This wallet has solved the problem of credit cards falling out. Normally, a wallet will start to lose the ability to hold credit cards as leather gets stretched out, etc. This wallet has a zip-around feature so nothing is ever going to fall out. It's also very slim... a perfect 5 star from me!

Blondes - Four points of view

The four blondes are ultra similar in their self-absorption-for each it's all about me, me, me, men, men, men and money, money, money. Each has boatloads of "friends" yet each finds herself ultra alone in the world. Each runs with the A-list crowd. The collection of stories could have been ultra-repetitive. But Bushnell deftly chose different literary points-of-view for each story. Janey is searching for her man in third-person limited. The dysfunctional couple, James and Winnie, are written in an edgy present-tense by an all-seeing, all-knowing, unnamed narrator (Bushnell herself of course) so we get healthy doses their thoughts about each other. And nutty Princess Cecelia could only tell us her own story-and she does-in the first person. The seemingly simple, yet important choice of point-of-view, written by a skilled author turns a good, yet potentially repetitive book into an good collection.

Durability and design issues

Biggest issues are the fact that this series of Harmony remotes has problems charging. I have both a 890 and a 880, and they both have the same issue. You cannot place the remote just into the charger to charge it. Typically, after cleaning the contacts on both the charger and the remote with Isopropyl Alcohol, you still need to add weight on the remote to have it charge. This has been a problem with the 890 since I bought the remote about 4 - 5 years ago. I bought the 880 about a year later and it started having the same problem after a while. Some of the buttons on the 890 have stopped working completely. Logitech doesn't support these remotes, at all. They do not offer a repair service just a discount on purchasing another iffy remote.

Pretty good, but not great

This is a pretty solid death metal album. It has a unique-ness about it that makes it appealing, however, it's not really great. Gets rather boring rather quickly. Better than most death metal bands, but not as good as some. If I had to rate my favorite DM albums, the list would be something like: 1.)Cryptopsy-Whisper Supremecy 2.)Suffocation-Effigy of the Forgotten 3.)Cannibal Corpse-Bloodthirst 4.)Cannibal Corpse-The Bleeding 5.)Suffocation-Pierced from Within6.)Nile-Amongst....A pretty good album for any death metal head.

first time four stars

This book wasn't the exact page-turner I had heard it would be but never the less it still was promising. The characters were rich but I found that sometimes they seemed almost to contradict themselves . Other characters in the background also, were given more play then they should and some weren't given enough. I have to give this book fourstars even though I would give it a 3.5 because the beginning was slow and certain parts were longer than necessary. Although this is the author's first book I give her a pat on the back because as first novel's go this was a pretty good job. Kudos.

I found this book a little too cliche for me in the beginning, because I did not know what to expect from it (I received it as a present). But then I thought it was great, the off-beat humor mixed warmly with what you really need to know to be successful. On top of that, this book managed to take my depression elsewhere.Good job Donn M.

This is a fun film. You never know what will happen next or who the good guys are. Unlike most standard Hollywood films where you know who's the good guy, who's the bad guy and who's the damsel in distress, this film is full of clever shifts and turns and some very good acting.

Another nail in Doctor Who's coffin ...

This episode also defines all the abominable horrors in Doctor Who's final years which sealed its fate and got it cancelled. Silly premises, camp execution, inability to suspend disbelief, bland dialogue and virtually lucidiously homosexual secondary characters with child molesting undertones makes this story (and most all late 80s Doctor Who episodes) unwatchable for the over 10 year old crowd. I was still trying to watch the series at this point, but even I couldn't take the schlock in THIS demented episode. Obviously I am not alone in feeling put out since all of Britain quit watching by this time in the series enormous history. Yeah, its the same review I gave for 'Happiness Patrol', but it works equally as well.

Cats don't approve

My cats have a lot of hariballs, as many a few a week. I was hopeful that these would work some magic on the problem yet neither of cats would give these a try. The cats looked at treats, seeminlgly uninterested, gave a little sniff, and walked away. They rejected the snacks. I tried sneaking it into their food but stil no luck. It's almost as though my cats know it's medicine, and therefore they avoid it.I've been able to get them to eat another brand of hairball treats called temptations, but I'm not sure if it's been effective at reducing their hairballs.Guess it was too good to be true that a kitty treat could work any magic on their hairballs.

McGowan is to be congratulated for having the nerve and courage to write such a long-overdue book. Having worked for many years in both journalism and television, going back to the late '60s in newspapering, I know the "Diversity" least appreciated in the newsrooms of America is a true diversity in the thought and opinions of reporters and editors. The quality of American news reportage is a disgrace. Kudos to McGowan for keenly perceiving the Emperor's new clothes.
