0	Riding the crest of his prior success--a disappointment	"The Bones of the Master" is a highly-accomplished book and well deserving of the highest accolades. Mr. Crane's subsequent volume "Beyond the House of the False Lama" rides the crest of this prior success, but proves to be a minor disappointment. I only wish his editor had had the sense to remind Crane that poetry was his calling. The subsequent book is a thinly connected hodge-podge, that might have made for several interesting magazine articles. Surely, this manuscript was not fit editorially for publication as a full book on its own merits. I concur with other reviewers who note the endless self-indulgence and juvenile tone. Let's not pretend that this book has anything to do with Zen, Buddhism or self-discovery.	negative
1	Perfect fit replacement!!	I purchased both the right and left side control arms - Dorman 520-403 & Dorman 520-404. Plan on an hour and a half to install if you have reasonable skills. These parts appeared to be of high quality and the bolted right in - they fit perfect and matched the old parts exactly. The rubber bushings on my old control arms were worn and buying the whole control arm - with the rubber bushings pre-installed - was a much easier/cost effective option that finding someone to press out and replace the old rubber bushings. If you need to make this repair, replacing the whole control arm is the way to go!	positive
0	let me down in a big way	To quote another reviewer: "let me down in a big way"I had this kit and a 60" jack. Burried the front end of my truck in a mud hole and couldn't get to the winch - I'm thinking "No problem, there's a tree right behind me, I'll just grab the hi-lift and the chains and pull myself back a few yards." Only to find out what others have found out - the bolt holes don't line up well enough to get the thing assembled in the field without some significant 'pre-assembly'.YMMV, but the gloves are useless too. Do yourself a favor and make your own kit out of chain, D-links and hooks from Northern Tool.	negative
0	the eleventh hour	i have the dvd not seen.in the text there was no notis that you can only use a dvdplayer and not on laptop or pc.my dvd player/recorder gifes the text this disc connot be playedsorry for my english	negative
0	Not worth the read	This book was suggested in the kindle newsletter as something life changing. I stayed with it to the end though many times i felt melancholy! It just didnt rate in my opinion. It was torture trying to get through it and i kept hoping for something to turn around. I wanted insight to his world and what made him the way he was, but i just never bonded with the character.	negative
0	no fun	his hands break apart and the stand it comes with doesn't hold it up, disappointment for the money....	negative
1	WELL WRITTEN AND GOOD TEXT	I have read a great many books in my 17 years, more than normal according to some, but the Great Alta books have drawn me back to them time and time again. Any book that I read more than once has to be a good book.	positive
1	Awesome camera, right price....happy camper.	I bought this camera and love it. This camera takes great pictures and the fact that it works with the EOS accessories is a huge plus. I can use the other lens that I have without having to buy new gear.Its not too heavy and fits well in the hands. I also purchased a 4GB card and have extra storage space.I am very happy with the camera and highly recommend it.	positive
0	Where's the -5 choice?	This software is horrible. Heed the other reviewers' advice and don't buy this thing. I installed it four times and got several error messages every time. I just spent THREE hours with Dell reinstalling and reformatting my hard drive. It's not worth it! Don't bother, NAV 2003 works just fine!	negative
1	ASIA is OK!	This DVD is really grate, the sound is clear but not very powerfull and the image is clear, but I got very disapointed when I realise that Kings of the Day and the Love under Fire/Sad Situation/Longest Night medley listed on the box are not on the DVD. That's way I just give it 4 stars. But definitely if you fill fine without the missing songs go for it, indeed is grate the performance.	positive
1	Not a bad deal	I've found most of the 20th Century Masters entries to be irrelevant, as you can get better greatest hits collections elsewhere. This one, however, is the best and most cost-effective Grace Jones greatest hits of which I know. It's actually a fitting representation of her work. A problem I've had with her music is that, after a short while, it all begins to sound the same. This CD, however, has just the right number of tracks to give you enough for your money, while avoiding burnout. Nice insert graphics, too. All in all, a nice investment.Track List: La Vie En Rose, Private Life, Love Is The Drug, Breakdown, Warm Leatherette, Walking In The Rain, Pull Up To The Bumper, I've Seen That Face Before (Libertango), Demolition Man, My Jamaican Guy, Nipple To The Bottle (12" mix)	positive
1	Great but comes with only 1 blade small	I am replacing the one I had but mine had two blades (large and small). This chopper only comes with 1 small blade. I was dissapointed but I still have the large blade to use from my broken old one.	positive
1	As good as it ever was!	I read this book when I was a teenager, 50 years ago and I enjoyed it as much, if not more, this time around.I think it's a must read, especially if you think Fifty Shades is good. This is so, so much better!!	positive
1	Perfect for toddlers!	My son, who is almost 2, loves this toy!! It is perfect for this age group.. teaches them how to climb and use a slide. Just wondering how long he will actually play with it because it definetly isnt for older kids!	positive
0	doesn't work	I received this item today and was really disappointed. I really needed a tool like this, but guess what, the 6 heads doesn't turn. There is no way i can turn the heads and change sizes. So I used the only available heads and tried to punch a hole in my belt. It took me forever to punch that hole and the leather got stuck in the head and i tried really hard to get it out. So 16.99 dollars for one hole. not worth it at all. Buyers, please be careful	negative
1	Take luck!	I saw Brian on Comedy Showcase a year ago and found him hilarious. This CD is SO great! I highly suggest purchasing it. If you've seen him perform live, his facial expressions make it better; but the CD is very worthwhile because his vocal inflections crack me up. "That's all I'm tryin' to say. That's all that I'm drivin' at, really, if you think about it. That's all."	positive
1	Stunning	From the opening bars of Debussy's thrilling string quartet, it's clear this is a special date that fully deserves its inclusion in the Phillips Great Recordings series. The music is so immediate, so exciting and perpetually inventive, the playing so united and muscular, it really nudges perfection.This goes equally for the Ravel quartet, routinely coupled with Debussy. It's no real surprise the two works are often placed side by side - Debussy implored Ravel "by the Gods of music not to change a thing" to his quartet, so the mutual admiration was certainly there! Despite surface similarities, however, the two are really very distinct works and Quartetto Italiano, here at their absolute peak, brings each to luminous life.The close mikes, while perhaps a bit annoying for some, to these ears brings a sense of intimate warmth and immediacy.Very highly recommended.	positive
1	3 kids, no mess	I have no idea why I can't find this at Target, CVS or Walgreens anymore, so I'm forced to order it on Amazon. Pump + 3 kids = no mess. Nuff said. Oh, and the toothpaste itself is just toothpaste. Nothing special. The five stars are for the design alone.	positive
0	NOT AS DESCRIBED....	I was terribly disappointed with the Pucci bikini I received. It was a completely different pattern, with different colors than the item I ordered from the picture on Amazon. The bikini was also 100% see-through. I returned the item to Amazon in September 2006 and I still haven't gotten my refund and it is now November 2006.	negative
1	The Best Bird Photo Book You Could Find!	Wow this book kept my attention. I read it in one sitting. I re-read it the next day. The photos are amazing and Mr. Morris is very generous with his descriptions, information, location advice and more.It's a bit dated, doesn't cover digital and mentions equipment generally no longer available, but the instruction on exposure is as good as I have seen.Mr. Morris also talks at length about exposure compensation which I found very helpful.Mr. Morris has a well-deserved reputation as America's number one bird photographer and his background as a teacher comes in handy here. Even if you're not into bird photography, check this book out. Anyone can learn from The Art of Bird Photography.	positive
0	defective cartridge- would not work	Living in Mexico with a US printer I brought I have to order ink cartridges from the US which adds to the cost. (sorry don't know how to update that info on where I live) I just tried to replace the black cartridge and the plastic part on the cartridge that is supposed to "click in" did not and the printer still showed that it was out of ink. I gave up and tried yet another (and my last) cartridge and it did the same thing. They had been in their plastic and sealed in boxes so should not have been damaged.So not only did I lose the money spent on the cartridges and shipping, I cannot print until I get new ones from the US. That is approximately 3 weeks. Will I trust this again? Not only will I not trust the cartridges, the next printer (coming very soon I fear) will not be an Epson.	negative
0	A Sub-Par Platformer	As a huge fan of Batman, I was really let down when I played this. The platforming levels are repetitive with stiff animation and weak fighting, as you can only punch. The driving levels are tough to follow, are not fun and also have bad animation. The boss encounters are confusing and redundant. The only high points is the cool scrolling Batwing shooting level and Robin's "Metal Gear"-esque level.The sprites are tiny and stiffly animated and the sound is just plain bad. It isn't the worst Batman game of all time, but it still could have been a frickin' heck of a lot better.-RoB	negative
1	Simplet Object Oriented Book	A perfect book for beginners, the auther illustrated the topic in a perfect way making it simple to understand by giving real life example, I would strongly recommed it for beginners but he keeps repeating things a lot in the book.	positive
1	Great Book...	This was the first book I picked up on the American Revolution... Its a very useful reference covers the battles, major players, causes of the war, as well as other minor things... I highly recommend this book...	positive
1	Wonderous!	It takes a bit to get used to the style and format but, it really a remarkable piece. Really really enjoyed it. Read it before the movie though...which was also good, not the same but good.	positive
0	Sad commentary on the lack of geography education	I started to read this book, but the uneasiness about the author's geography was to culminate with the reading of this statement on page 11. "Earlier in May the strong Confederate fort at Port Hudson had ... located at a hairpin turn in the Mississippi, on a series of high bluffs 25 miles north of Vicksburg." In fact Port Hudson is 140 miles south in Louisiana. What else besides geography has he got wrong? I read on , ... but. I could recommend many other books but not this. Get a good editor.	negative
0	Cheap	Leaking and dripping in less than a year of use. wish it was better quality. It has good taste though	negative
1	SAVED MY HAIR	My hair is so damaged from heat and other styling tools and gunk and years of mistreatment. It was thin and breaking all the time. I was beginning to think I was stuck with crappy hair until I put this stuff on and left it over night. Just a single treatment and my hair can actually be called pretty. It's soft and styles well. The smell is really pleasant too. No chemicals, no animal products, I wouldn't know what to do without it. Give a try, so you lose a few bucks f it doesn't work for you but it's a great feeling when you discover a product that gives you results you fantasize about.	positive
1	David Bowie Fans	If you love magic and fairytales this is the movie for you! Granted it is a bit older, but David Bowie plays a great role and sings you into this magical world. I had never seen it and bought it because he was in it. My stepmother loves him too so of course I bought her a copy. If you have young ones or are just young at heart this is the movie for you!!!	positive
1	A Winner!	Hard to beat this Tetsubin teapot on price, size and quality. I needed this 40 ouncer to brew large quantities of tea for family and friends, and am enjoying the convenience of having ths teapot along with a large cast iron warmer to keep a pot of tea handy at all times during the day.	positive
1	One of the greastest	Cream would be one of the best classic rock bands ever. So much talent, amazing lyrics, amazing guitar and vocals what else could you want?...If you like Eric Clapton then heres some of his ealier works.	positive
0	Unfortunate	I have had this lens for just over a year. I love everything about this lens except for the fact that I've had to send it in for repairs three times. The auto focus motor (SDM) just simply doesn't work. I don't use this lens all that much. I shot 6 weddings last year with it and about the same number of engagements. The auto focus motor just refuses to stay fixed. It didn't work correctly right out of the box. It's been replaced twice and now it's on it's way back for a third replacement. Unfortunately, this one is going to cost me money because I'm a couple months outside of my warranty period. I really wish I weren't having this bad experience with this lens because I love everything else about it.The sad thing is that I'm not alone in this. This lens has an unusually high auto focus motor failure rate compared to all of the other Pentax lenses over the decades.I'm sad to give it only 2 stars.	negative
0	It took two people to write this??	Perhaps this book is written so conventionally, so sophmorically and so uninspiringly is BECAUSE it was a collaborative effort. I think one writer would have found a more interesting voice than that of this sterotypical nice girl in the big city.	negative
0	Very disappointing	I had never been a big fan of Sarah Brightman's, finding her voice kind of tinny and small. Then I accidentally listened to Time To Say Goodbye, which I adored and which I listen to over and over again. Based on that, I purchased this CD and was horrified. I only liked about 3-4 of the songs. I found it way over-produced, too loud, too showy. I think she needs to find a new agent/producer. I have purchased subsequent CD's that I like - Songs That Got Away, Andrew Lloyd Weber. But this one I returned immediately.	negative
0	This film is a crime against humanity - absolute garbage	I am truly speechless. Whomever was involved in this movie, from the producers, director, the actors to the grips - should be on trial for crimes against humanity. You are an absolute idiot to watch this movie, let alone buy this piece of _________. Fill in your own expletive. The worst movie ever made. All involved in the creation of this "piece" should be embarrassed. God have mercy on all of us for this abomination.	negative
1	Who knew Delta Airlines could be so hip?	Strangely enough, I "discovered" this CD while on a Delta Airlines flight. I was scrolling through the plane's music selection and stumbled upon this. Fell in love with it right away. Great beats, and just really nice ambient sounds. Made for a very pleasant flight (even if one is stuck in a middle seat!) I bought it as soon as I landed.	positive
1	Grim & Gritty	Superior war flick about Pacific island beach landing and aftermath. Good characters. The DVD presents a pleasingly clean and colorful image--of the Technicolor original.	positive
0	How sad	A terrible try to match Libera. Someone said it right: how dare those people use such marvellous voices to create such uglything? Let Libera deal with amazing new age music, let Vienna Boys Choir continue being masters of their domains: classical music.	negative
1	Fantastic	The outlander series is spectacular. It covers everything you want in a story (including being long enough), and you can't guess what's coming. Romance, action, humor, it's got it.	positive
1	good product,where's the books?	This product is amazing.It was a gift for my wife and she is thrilled with it and it's useability. However she is disappointed with the selection of books that are to her taste, so she is having trouble trying to find something suitable. Should the options of reading material change from overemphasis on somewhat smutty fiction to more traditioal material, then she will be more than pleased with the Kindle. Regards,Bob Marwood	positive
1	Yes, take this girl!	This story, which takes place in 1950s England, unfolds beautifully offering the viewer an interesting story of the mores of the 50s, along with lush landscapes and sexual tensions. A real gem of a movie.	positive
0	i l iked it	Title: Strengthen the Mind Composer:Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Performer:Takato Nishizaki and Malcolm Bilson	negative
0	Rating for item, not movie.	Digital Copy is not HD. Blu-Ray movies should come with HD digital copies and DVD should come with SD copies. This isn't rocket science folks.	negative
0	Don't Buy	The machine worked great at first, but the electronics went and their is no local repair shop. The only trained shop authorized by Singer is in KY. And from what several repair service people have told me this will happen every two years at a cost from $200 - $800. This was a very costly mistake.	negative
1	Don't hate the fact you like this album..	This album is a good album, despite what all you doubters out there think. The melodies are good, the riffs are fast and catchy, the lyrics thoughtful and while it's not been spectacularly produced, it is still a good album. While we know everyone out there isn't going to like this, I can't understand all the anti-FOB material in the reviews. If you genuinely dislike this band, then don't listen, sell the CD, and most of all, don't write a damn review about them. If you hate the fact that you like this album, don't, for the reasons I have listed. If, on the other hand, you dislike it because you don't want to be seen liking pop-punk (which this album is not, anyhow) or emo, then grow up. More of the same, please, Fall Out Boy.	positive
0	Not a very good movie at all	I absolutely love the left behind books, but this movie did them no justice. It was creepy and very weird. I don't know what else to expect from the company that made it, however. It is a very weird company.	negative
1	After reading this, I'm hooked.	Now I want to read every one in the Jack Reacher series. The movie got my interest up and the first book grabbed me. I like Lee Child's style of writing and the steady flow towards the finish is refreshing. Not much fluff and useless page fillers. Good stuff.	positive
0	down with the suckness	I dunno. Their singer tries to be real scary & intimidating. But it just makes me laugh. It doesnt help matters that he is 5ft tall with boots on. I guess alot of people buy into it when he does his growls & grunts & tries to look evil & tough. If the music was really good then maybe I could overlook the singer & his cornball lyrics. But the music is alot of cheesy riffing & recycled garbage thats been done alot better by other bands. Recommended for angry 12 year old boys only.	negative
0	Weak flavor - very disappointing	Good Assam tea has a distintive, pungent, brisk flavor. These bags produce a mild, weak, almost flavorless tea. It is dated best usedby 30.10.2013, but it is clearly well past its prime.	negative
1	A wealth of fun-to-make, healthy, family oriented recipes!	Now in a newly revised and expanded edition, Cynthia Lair's Feeding The Whole Family: Whole Foods Recipes For Babies, Young Children And Their Parents continues to be one of the best "user friendly", family oriented guides to nutritious, delicious, meal-time cookbooks available today. From Whole Grain Baby Cereal, Sage and Rosemary Seitan Sandwiches, and Tempeh Tacos, to Mustard Green Salad with Tofu-Dill Dressing, Sweet Squash Corn Muffins, and Carrot Cake with Apricot Glaze, Feeding The Whole Family offers a wealth of recipes that are as fun to make in the kitchen as they are to consume at the family dining table!	positive
0	Not as interesting as I hoped.	I absolutely loved the "Sailors' Terms and Phrases" at the beginning of the book. My son loves pirates, so now we will have some new pirate lingo to use when we play pirates.Unfortunately, my enthusiasm for the book didn't hold past that page. I'm not sure why but the story of Emily's loud voice wasn't for me. The illustrations on the other hand, were lovely. The author's note at the end was interesting; perhaps a non-fiction book about the time period and whaling ships would have been much more intriguing.	negative
1	Great alternative to cloth	Our baby girl was on cloth diapers for nearly a year before we made the transition to Tushies. The transition was seamless, and they have really worked out well. No rashes, absorbent enough (only the occasional wet-through), and they fit well. I highly recommend these diapers to anyone wanting to avoid the synthetic materials that are so pervasive in the diaper market.	positive
1	Great book	Informative, new idea on a subject that most people don't think about, I've always thought that Paul didn't care much about women.	positive
0	Excruciatingly slow	The writing is clear and easy to understand. If you work through the book, as others have mentioned, you will gain proficiency with the software.But I'm surprised no one has mentioned that this book moves incredibly slowly. This book is written for people who are relatively new to comptuers. But if you have some computer proficiency, the step-by-step exercises are consistently repetitious and mind-numbing.	negative
1	disappointed	i was very disappointed, i did not know about region a and region b for blu ray.ticked me off a little because it was the first thing i have brought online and it was a gift for my mother, she absolutly loves this movie and it wouldn't play at all because we have an australian region player. as far as i could see from looking it up the australian region release of this movie comes out november 24. i wish the site had of warned me when i was purchasing it and getting it sent to australia that it would not play on australian region players. i'm still giving it 4 four stars because its a classic movie with great fight scene lots of drama and beautiful music and scenery.	positive
0	A shallow book	Like all the books put together by this author (far too many), this alleged biography of Thelonious Monk is a shallow cut-and-paste mishmash sprinkled with clueless (sometimes senseless) observations that alone reveal a lack of perception. This silly book has no valid place on the shelf of jazz literature.	negative
1	Favorite in our house	Ice Age movies are a favorite in our household. Scrat needs a movie all his own now. If you haven't seen these movies, that's truly amazing to me. Even the biggest curmudgeon in the world would at least raise one corner of his/her mouth over this one. Couldn't be helped!	positive
1	The American Dream	Unlike other economic books Barbara Ehrenreich tells us the truth behind the American Dream through her book "Nickel and Dimed: On (not) getting by in America. Taking on odd, minimum wage jobs she shows us how difficult it is for one to survive in America on a minimum waged salary. She tell us the truth that no one seems to have the guts to tell us. This book is highly recommended to those who want to inform themselves on how our economy really functions.	positive
0	This bag is way too big	I bought and returned this bag. It is huge. I could have fit three digital cameras in there. The reason I bought the digital camera (olympus 3020) is that it is small and compact. This bag is almost as big as my camera bag for my SLR. My bag was also missing the divider so the camera would just flop around in the bag.	negative
0	Sad.	Maybe I was confused or something but, we thought that this order contained more than just one towel. The page where the item is clearly shows more than one towel, but when you order you get only a hand towel/washcloth.	negative
0	Not worthy of the title.	It was clear from the beginning that this was one of those low budget direct to DVD titles. This resembled more of a low budget Nickelodeon movie and wasn't worthy as a sequel to one of the best family comedies of all-time.	negative
0	Useless	Never got this cd; they refunded my money without telling me, as they had "just discovered" the cd was broken. You'd think they would have looked at it before they posted it on Amazon!!!	negative
1	Great Album	Where do I start? This has to be one of the year's best albums. A great follow up. I really like Fix You, Swallowed in the Sea, and X&Y; to me these are the better songs on the album, but there isn't anything on it I don't like. I highly recommend this album to any music fan.	positive
0	skip this one it only scratches the surface.	I recently started working on several projects that require the Apache Commons libraries. After looking at several books I chose this one. This is a choice I regret.This book has been at my work desk now for a several months, and several times needed to look something up in it - doing a multi-part HTTP POST to send large files, for example. In every case, it was useless. Sometimes it didn't even have the needed classes in the appendix. This book has only the most introductory material that you could learn from a website in an hour. Except for the most basic questions, or for the complete novices this book is useless. I'd throw it away if I hadn't spent so much money on it.I gave it two stars, only because someone (a novice) might find it helpful, and it does have complete examples. More advanced programmers should skip this one.	negative
1	Great, cute book!!!	I just got this book today and it was everything I expected and more. It is a great book. You get 15 cute temporary tattoos, pop-up trivia and a friendship quiz too. The pictures are great. If you like Cardcaptors get this book. It is soooo CUTE!!!	positive
1	Looks good, but why the logo?	The cover arrived in the mail today. Shipping was on time. The Cover fits well for the original nook. Looks good. It was the cleanest looking product that I found for the nook. In the photos, I did not notice the 'boxwave' logo on the front cover. Why, oh, why? Are you going for brand recognition? It would be better without it. That's my only petty complaint. Nice material on the inside of the cover.	positive
0	Slumber : Boring Diatribe of a Niche Pundit	Personally I would recommend a more engaging piece of fiction, such as ... oh, say Moby Dick. If you do, though, please remember to support your local library (our new governor forgot about those).	negative
1	The Lion King	I live in New Orleans and the show is coming here in March for which I have tickets. Not having seen it in NY on one of my trips there I am looking forward to it. However, the CD lets me get an idea of the show and suggest it to anyone who enjoyes Broadway shows.	positive
1	A Sci-fi Novel With Twists and Turns	Robin Cook is brilliant. Invasion is an amazing book with many twists and turns that make the plot thicken every page. I have not yet finished it but I have only about 50 pages left and I began reading it two days ago. I could not stop reading it. I would stay up til 2 in the morning. The characters are in-depth and you start to take sides. And the amazing thing is it that I am only fourteen years old. I hardly ever read books. Buy the book.	positive
0	Another kids review	I am a sixth grader, our class just read the book Hatchet, and watched the movie "Cry In the Wild. I recommend the book over the movie. The book had better details then the movie. Instead of a moose attack in the book, the movie had a bear attack. I liked the book much better. I give the movie a 1/2 star out of 5.	negative
0	Disappointing close to the career of a great band	Frankly, I was rather disappointed with "Redemption". I've been a Whiteheart fan for about ten years and I thought that the edgier "Inside" was a very welcome change of pace for the band. With "Redemption", they seem to have stylistically returned to earlier days with a relatively softer, more melodic sound (with the exception of Steel and Stone perhaps). Lyrically, I thought too much of it was the typical formulaic CCM verse (e.g. "Jesus"). I would definitely disagree with the assessment that the album as a whole sounds harsh. Many of the songs seem more like light feel good sounds to me. Bright points include "Looking Glass", "Steel & Stone", and "Love is Everything", but if you're looking for the intensity of "Inside", an album that was HIGHLY underrated by many fans, look elsewhere.	negative
1	the charmed action figure paige	the paige action figure is a nice collectors item for any lover of charmed and it is a tricky decision whether to take it out of the box or not. i have all the charmed figures now and each figure comes with a portion of the infamous attic when combined with the other portions will complete the whole attic playset!i would give the paige doll 8 out of 10.	positive
1	Must Read! One of those rare "stays on your mind" finds.	I picked up EJD's "Milk in My Coffee" for a quick summer read...little did I know his work would stay with me for many days after finishing the book. His characters were so REAL and he shows us that the prejudices between the races that most of us try to rise above can still dictate our choices in life. EJD also had me laughing out loud and holding back tears as well. I'm passing it on to all my friends and enjoying my soul searchin' that this book has inspired!	positive
0	Can you say boring three times fast?	Oh, how I wanted to love this book. I love books about nothing, especially when people write about nothing very well. Nothing can be really amusing, and nothing is the perfect prelude to sleep. This book, however, almost induced a coma with all of its pretentious stupidity and references to Pamela Anderson and various serial killers. While the effort to be Deep and Outrageously Funny shown through like a 5000 watt lightbulb, the actual result amounted to one of the most mind-numbing and tedious expositions on Nothing that I have read in a long time. (Read at your own risk.)	negative
0	Get it Free Elsewhere	Why is this even listed? This short work is in the public domain and can be found for free elsewhere on the internet. I suspect Amazon is just inflating its Kindle books count by including works like this.Put it on you Kindle for free elsewhere.	negative
0	Terrible Quality Photo	Using on a Nikon D3S. I'm a Hoya user and took a chance on the Nikon thinking - it's a Nikon, it must be better!. Wrong. Terrible photographs, no clarity, loss of focus, over saturation of colors. I'll never use this again. Do yourself a favor, spend the money, stick with Hoya.	negative
0	unique, but not enjoyable	The sense of smell is a deserving subject. For a lighter and more clever take on it, try Jitterbug Perfume by Tom Robbins. Perfume plods along; much effort is wasted trying to garner sympathy for a completely flat character. As a female reader, I find it a bit annoying that the women who smell the best also happen to be incredibly beautiful.	negative
0	dangerous	I am a propane dealer who has experienced 5 major blowouts on Marshal regulators--have gone as far as beginning to remove every one (over 50) from service. One emptied 200 gallons of propane behind a shopping mall another the same amount in a lumber yard. Can't recommend strongly enough--if you have a regulator made by this bankrupt company--throw it in the garbage.	negative
0	We Don't Need This	What Liberians don't need is another non-Liberian (much less one like Hyman who made his fortune by literally taking food out of our mouths by accepting monies stolen from us by our former war criminal dictator "Doctor" Charles Taylor) telling us about our history. As if we didn't know it ourselves. This is like the defense lawyers at Nuremberg trying to write the definitive history of Nazi Germany. Haven't we Liberians been abused enough?	negative

1	Bloody Bones	After the last few books it's refreshing to have a book where the mystery and action carries the entire way through. In this installment Anita is called to raise an entire cemetery of 200+ year old dead people. While working on that the police ask her to investigate a murder-by-vamp of a young girl. In the process of the investigation we meet some fae, a pedophile vampire, and a group of mean vamps that have it out for Anita and Jean-Claude. The sexual tension between Anita and Jean-Claude keeps mounting, and Anita's morals and beliefs get challenged. There is non stop action throughout this book, and an easy to follow yet exciting mystery. Definitely a step up from the last few.	positive
1	I wouldn't say 'dreadful'	I read this book during a binge of early 20th century gay fiction and I wouldn't say it was 'dreadful.' If you're talking esoterics, Ronald Firbanks is the bloke you want! Wyndham Lewis was equally unrewarding. There was at least some humor in The Young and Evil, when the protag pukes on the straight woman! I laughed. The copy they interlibrary loaned me was printed in Paris on handmade paper--you probably won't find anything so opulent on Amazon . . . I digress, I caught more of a Joycean feeling than Stein but I can't stand that woman!	positive
1	Good case study	As this type of exodus had occurred before in other large U.S cities, I believe this book is an excellent detailed account of what occurred in Boston. The author does a great job of showing all of the issues facing those involved (local politicians, Jews, Blacks, etc.). The end got a little boring for me since I was interested less in the legislation surrounding this problem and more in how it affected individuals. I highly recommend this book if you're from the Boston area or know the area they speak of well.	positive
1	The most politically incorrect film in ages, I loved it	This revolutionary band of British humorists takes wackiness to a new level.

0	A Major Disappointment for this Bryson fan	I loved "A Walk in the Woods" and "In a Sunburned Country". They were funny and witty, and made me want to hike the Trail and visit Australia. I am about to travel to Great Britain, so I read this book with much anticipation. I found it ill-spirited and mostly humorless. I started skimming as it was so repetitive that any chapter could have been about any town he visited. It almost made me NOT want to go to Great Britain. I don't understand the reviews that say he talks fondly of England. In my opinion, he bad-mouthed almost everything, and came out looking like an often foul-mouthed old curmudgeon. If you're still interested in this book, check it out of a library and decide for yourself. I'm sorry I spent any time on it, but glad I didn't waste any money. I gave it 2 stars to be charitable.	negative

Riding the crest of his prior success--a disappointment

"The Bones of the Master" is a highly-accomplished book and well deserving of the highest accolades. Mr. Crane's subsequent volume "Beyond the House of the False Lama" rides the crest of this prior success, but proves to be a minor disappointment. I only wish his editor had had the sense to remind Crane that poetry was his calling. The subsequent book is a thinly connected hodge-podge, that might have made for several interesting magazine articles. Surely, this manuscript was not fit editorially for publication as a full book on its own merits. I concur with other reviewers who note the endless self-indulgence and juvenile tone. Let's not pretend that this book has anything to do with Zen, Buddhism or self-discovery.

Perfect fit replacement!!

I purchased both the right and left side control arms - Dorman 520-403 & Dorman 520-404. Plan on an hour and a half to install if you have reasonable skills. These parts appeared to be of high quality and the bolted right in - they fit perfect and matched the old parts exactly. The rubber bushings on my old control arms were worn and buying the whole control arm - with the rubber bushings pre-installed - was a much easier/cost effective option that finding someone to press out and replace the old rubber bushings. If you need to make this repair, replacing the whole control arm is the way to go!

let me down in a big way

To quote another reviewer: "let me down in a big way"I had this kit and a 60" jack. Burried the front end of my truck in a mud hole and couldn't get to the winch - I'm thinking "No problem, there's a tree right behind me, I'll just grab the hi-lift and the chains and pull myself back a few yards." Only to find out what others have found out - the bolt holes don't line up well enough to get the thing assembled in the field without some significant 'pre-assembly'.YMMV, but the gloves are useless too. Do yourself a favor and make your own kit out of chain, D-links and hooks from Northern Tool.

I bought this camera and love it. This camera takes great pictures and the fact that it works with the EOS accessories is a huge plus.

I also purchased a 4GB card and have extra storage space.I am very happy with the camera and highly recommend it.

This DVD is really grate, the sound is clear but not very powerfull and the image is clear, but I got very disapointed when I realise that Kings of the Day and the Love under Fire/Sad Situation/Longest Night medley listed on the box are not on the DVD. That's way I just give it 4 stars. But definitely if you fill fine without the missing songs go for it, indeed is grate the performance.

Not a bad deal

I've found most of the 20th Century Masters entries to be irrelevant, as you can get better greatest hits collections elsewhere. This one, however, is the best and most cost-effective Grace Jones greatest hits of which I know. It's actually a fitting representation of her work. A problem I've had with her music is that, after a short while, it all begins to sound the same. This CD, however, has just the right number of tracks to give you enough for your money, while avoiding burnout. Nice insert graphics, too. All in all, a nice investment.Track List: La Vie En Rose, Private Life, Love Is The Drug, Breakdown, Warm Leatherette, Walking In The Rain, Pull Up To The Bumper, I've Seen That Face Before (Libertango), Demolition Man, My Jamaican Guy, Nipple To The Bottle (12" mix)

doesn't work

I received this item today and was really disappointed. I really needed a tool like this, but guess what, the 6 heads doesn't turn. There is no way i can turn the heads and change sizes. So I used the only available heads and tried to punch a hole in my belt. It took me forever to punch that hole and the leather got stuck in the head and i tried really hard to get it out. So 16.99 dollars for one hole. not worth it at all. Buyers, please be careful

Take luck!

I saw Brian on Comedy Showcase a year ago and found him hilarious. This CD is SO great! I highly suggest purchasing it. If you've seen him perform live, his facial expressions make it better; but the CD is very worthwhile because his vocal inflections crack me up. "That's all I'm tryin' to say. That's all that I'm drivin' at, really, if you think about it. That's all."

Stunning

From the opening bars of Debussy's thrilling string quartet, it's clear this is a special date that fully deserves its inclusion in the Phillips Great Recordings series. The music is so immediate, so exciting and perpetually inventive, the playing so united and muscular, it really nudges perfection.This goes equally for the Ravel quartet, routinely coupled with Debussy. It's no real surprise the two works are often placed side by side - Debussy implored Ravel "by the Gods of music not to change a thing" to his quartet, so the mutual admiration was certainly there! Despite surface similarities, however, the two are really very distinct works and Quartetto Italiano, here at their absolute peak, brings each to luminous life.The close mikes, while perhaps a bit annoying for some, to these ears brings a sense of intimate warmth and immediacy.Very highly recommended.

The Best Bird Photo Book You Could Find!

Wow this book kept my attention. I read it in one sitting. I re-read it the next day. The photos are amazing and Mr. Morris is very generous with his descriptions, information, location advice and more.It's a bit dated, doesn't cover digital and mentions equipment generally no longer available, but the instruction on exposure is as good as I have seen.Mr. Morris also talks at length about exposure compensation which I found very helpful.Mr. Morris has a well-deserved reputation as America's number one bird photographer and his background as a teacher comes in handy here. Even if you're not into bird photography, check this book out. Anyone can learn from The Art of Bird Photography.

defective cartridge- would not work

Living in Mexico with a US printer I brought I have to order ink cartridges from the US which adds to the cost. (sorry don't know how to update that info on where I live) I just tried to replace the black cartridge and the plastic part on the cartridge that is supposed to "click in" did not and the printer still showed that it was out of ink. I gave up and tried yet another (and my last) cartridge and it did the same thing. They had been in their plastic and sealed in boxes so should not have been damaged.So not only did I lose the money spent on the cartridges and shipping, I cannot print until I get new ones from the US. That is approximately 3 weeks. Will I trust this again? Not only will I not trust the cartridges, the next printer (coming very soon I fear) will not be an Epson.

A Sub-Par Platformer

As a huge fan of Batman, I was really let down when I played this. The platforming levels are repetitive with stiff animation and weak fighting, as you can *only* punch. The driving levels are tough to follow, are not fun and also have bad animation. The boss encounters are confusing and redundant. The only high points is the cool scrolling Batwing shooting level and Robin's "Metal Gear"-esque level.The sprites are tiny and stiffly animated and the sound is just plain bad. It isn't the worst Batman game of all time, but it still could have been a frickin' heck of a lot better.-RoB

Sad commentary on the lack of geography education

I started to read this book, but the uneasiness about the author's geography was to culminate with the reading of this statement on page 11. "Earlier in May the strong Confederate fort at Port Hudson had ... located at a hairpin turn in the Mississippi, on a series of high bluffs 25 miles north of Vicksburg." In fact Port Hudson is 140 miles south in Louisiana. What else besides geography has he got wrong? I read on , ... but. I could recommend many other books but not this. Get a good editor.

SAVED MY HAIR

My hair is so damaged from heat and other styling tools and gunk and years of mistreatment. It was thin and breaking all the time. I was beginning to think I was stuck with crappy hair until I put this stuff on and left it over night. Just a single treatment and my hair can actually be called pretty. It's soft and styles well. The smell is really pleasant too. No chemicals, no animal products, I wouldn't know what to do without it. Give a try, so you lose a few bucks f it doesn't work for you but it's a great feeling when you discover a product that gives you results you fantasize about.

Unfortunate

I have had this lens for just over a year. I love everything about this lens except for the fact that I've had to send it in for repairs three times. The auto focus motor (SDM) just simply doesn't work. I don't use this lens all that much. I shot 6 weddings last year with it and about the same number of engagements. The auto focus motor just refuses to stay fixed. It didn't work correctly right out of the box. It's been replaced twice and now it's on it's way back for a third replacement. Unfortunately, this one is going to cost me money because I'm a couple months outside of my warranty period. I really wish I weren't having this bad experience with this lens because I love everything else about it.The sad thing is that I'm not alone in this. This lens has an unusually high auto focus motor failure rate compared to all of the other Pentax lenses over the decades.I'm sad to give it only 2 stars.

Very disappointing

I had never been a big fan of Sarah Brightman's, finding her voice kind of tinny and small. Then I accidentally listened to Time To Say Goodbye, which I adored and which I listen to over and over again. Based on that, I purchased this CD and was horrified. I only liked about 3-4 of the songs. I found it way over-produced, too loud, too showy. I think she needs to find a new agent/producer. I have purchased subsequent CD's that I like - Songs That Got Away, Andrew Lloyd Weber. But this one I returned immediately.

Don't hate the fact you like this album..

This album is a good album, despite what all you doubters out there think. The melodies are good, the riffs are fast and catchy, the lyrics thoughtful and while it's not been spectacularly produced, it is still a good album. While we know everyone out there isn't going to like this, I can't understand all the anti-FOB material in the reviews. If you genuinely dislike this band, then don't listen, sell the CD, and most of all, don't write a damn review about them. If you hate the fact that you like this album, don't, for the reasons I have listed. If, on the other hand, you dislike it because you don't want to be seen liking pop-punk (which this album is not, anyhow) or emo, then grow up. More of the same, please, Fall Out Boy.

I dunno. Their singer tries to be real scary & intimidating. But it just makes me laugh. It doesnt help matters that he is 5ft tall with boots on.

I absolutely loved the "Sailors' Terms and Phrases" at the beginning of the book. My son loves pirates, so now we will have some new pirate lingo to use when we play pirates.Unfortunately, my enthusiasm for the book didn't hold past that page. I'm not sure why but the story of Emily's loud voice wasn't for me. The illustrations on the other hand, were lovely. The author's note at the end was interesting; perhaps a non-fiction book about the time period and whaling ships would have been much more intriguing.

Great alternative to cloth

Our baby girl was on cloth diapers for nearly a year before we made the transition to Tushies. The transition was seamless, and they have really worked out well. No rashes, absorbent enough (only the occasional wet-through), and they fit well.

A shallow book

Like all the books put together by this author (far too many), this alleged biography of Thelonious Monk is a shallow cut-and-paste mishmash sprinkled with clueless (sometimes senseless) observations that alone reveal a lack of perception. This silly book has no valid place on the shelf of jazz literature.

Favorite in our house

Ice Age movies are a favorite in our household. Scrat needs a movie all his own now. If you haven't seen these movies, that's truly amazing to me. Even the biggest curmudgeon in the world would at least raise one corner of his/her mouth over this one. Couldn't be helped!

The American Dream

Unlike other economic books Barbara Ehrenreich tells us the truth behind the American Dream through her book "Nickel and Dimed: On (not) getting by in America. Taking on odd, minimum wage jobs she shows us how difficult it is for one to survive in America on a minimum waged salary. She tell us the truth that no one seems to have the guts to tell us. This book is highly recommended to those who want to inform themselves on how our economy really functions.

This bag is way too big

I bought and returned this bag. It is huge. I could have fit three digital cameras in there. The reason I bought the digital camera (olympus 3020) is that it is small and compact. This bag is almost as big as my camera bag for my SLR. My bag was also missing the divider so the camera would just flop around in the bag.

Sad.

Maybe I was confused or something but, we thought that this order contained more than just one towel. The page where the item is clearly shows more than one towel, but when you order you get only a hand towel/washcloth.

Not worthy of the title.

It was clear from the beginning that this was one of those low budget direct to DVD titles. This resembled more of a low budget Nickelodeon movie and wasn't worthy as a sequel to one of the best family comedies of all-time.

Never got this cd; they refunded my money without telling me, as they had "just discovered" the cd was broken. You'd think they would have looked at it before they posted it on Amazon!!!

Great Album

Where do I start? This has to be one of the year's best albums. A great follow up. I really like Fix You, Swallowed in the Sea, and X&Y; to me these are the better songs on the album, but there isn't anything on it I don't like. I highly recommend this album to any music fan.

skip this one it only scratches the surface.

I recently started working on several projects that require the Apache Commons libraries. After looking at several books I chose this one. This is a choice I regret.This book has been at my work desk now for a several months, and several times needed to look something up in it - doing a multi-part HTTP POST to send large files, for example. In every case, it was useless. Sometimes it didn't even have the needed classes in the appendix. This book has only the most introductory material that you could learn from a website in an hour. Except for the most basic questions, or for the complete novices this book is useless. I'd throw it away if I hadn't spent so much money on it.I gave it two stars, only because someone (a novice) might find it helpful, and it does have complete examples. More advanced programmers should skip this one.

Looks good, but why the logo?

The cover arrived in the mail today. Shipping was on time. The Cover fits well for the original nook. Looks good. It was the cleanest looking product that I found for the nook. In the photos, I did not notice the 'boxwave' logo on the front cover. Why, oh, why? Are you going for brand recognition? It would be better without it. That's my only petty complaint. Nice material on the inside of the cover.

A Sci-fi Novel With Twists and Turns

Robin Cook is brilliant. Invasion is an amazing book with many twists and turns that make the plot thicken every page. I have not yet finished it but I have only about 50 pages left and I began reading it two days ago. I could not stop reading it. I would stay up til 2 in the morning. The characters are in-depth and you start to take sides. And the amazing thing is it that I am only fourteen years old. I hardly ever read books. Buy the book.

Another kids review

I am a sixth grader, our class just read the book Hatchet, and watched the movie "Cry In the Wild. I recommend the book over the movie. The book had better details then the movie. Instead of a moose attack in the book, the movie had a bear attack. I liked the book much better. I give the movie a 1/2 star out of 5.

Disappointing close to the career of a great band

Frankly, I was rather disappointed with "Redemption". I've been a Whiteheart fan for about ten years and I thought that the edgier "Inside" was a very welcome change of pace for the band. With "Redemption", they seem to have stylistically returned to earlier days with a relatively softer, more melodic sound (with the exception of Steel and Stone perhaps). Lyrically, I thought too much of it was the typical formulaic CCM verse (e.g. "Jesus"). I would definitely disagree with the assessment that the album as a whole sounds harsh. Many of the songs seem more like light feel good sounds to me. Bright points include "Looking Glass", "Steel & Stone", and "Love is Everything", but if you're looking for the intensity of "Inside", an album that was HIGHLY underrated by many fans, look elsewhere.

the charmed action figure paige

the paige action figure is a nice collectors item for any lover of charmed and it is a tricky decision whether to take it out of the box or not. i have all the charmed figures now and each figure comes with a portion of the infamous attic when combined with the other portions will complete the whole attic playset!i would give the paige doll 8 out of 10.

Must Read! One of those rare "stays on your mind" finds.

I picked up EJD's "Milk in My Coffee" for a quick summer read...little did I know his work would stay with me for many days after finishing the book. His characters were so REAL and he shows us that the prejudices between the races that most of us try to rise above can still dictate our choices in life. EJD also had me laughing out loud and holding back tears as well. I'm passing it on to all my friends and enjoying my soul searchin' that this book has inspired!

Can you say boring three times fast?

Oh, how I wanted to love this book. I love books about nothing, especially when people write about nothing very well. Nothing can be really amusing, and nothing is the perfect prelude to sleep. This book, however, almost induced a coma with all of its pretentious stupidity and references to Pamela Anderson and various serial killers. While the effort to be Deep and Outrageously Funny shown through like a 5000 watt lightbulb, the actual result amounted to one of the most mind-numbing and tedious expositions on Nothing that I have read in a long time. (Read at your own risk.)

Terrible Quality Photo

Using on a Nikon D3S. I'm a Hoya user and took a chance on the Nikon thinking - it's a Nikon, it must be better!. Wrong. Terrible photographs, no clarity, loss of focus, over saturation of colors. I'll never use this again. Do yourself a favor, spend the money, stick with Hoya.

unique, but not enjoyable

The sense of smell is a deserving subject. For a lighter and more clever take on it, try Jitterbug Perfume by Tom Robbins. Perfume plods along; much effort is wasted trying to garner sympathy for a completely flat character. As a female reader, I find it a bit annoying that the women who smell the best also happen to be incredibly beautiful.

I am a propane dealer who has experienced 5 major blowouts on Marshal regulators--have gone as far as beginning to remove every one (over 50) from service. One emptied 200 gallons of propane behind a shopping mall another the same amount in a lumber yard. Can't recommend strongly enough--if you have a regulator made by this bankrupt company--throw it in the garbage.

We Don't Need This

What Liberians don't need is another non-Liberian (much less one like Hyman who made his fortune by literally taking food out of our mouths by accepting monies stolen from us by our former war criminal dictator "Doctor" Charles Taylor) telling us about our history. As if we didn't know it ourselves. This is like the defense lawyers at Nuremberg trying to write the definitive history of Nazi Germany. Haven't we Liberians been abused enough?

I was considering the hook that was just below these on the advertisment page for them. I am very glad I paid the bit more and chose these. They really do the job, for anything you'd like to hang. I have some of my wifes heaviest paintings, and pictures and they don't give a bit.

Bloody Bones

After the last few books it's refreshing to have a book where the mystery and action carries the entire way through. In this installment Anita is called to raise an entire cemetery of 200+ year old dead people. While working on that the police ask her to investigate a murder-by-vamp of a young girl. In the process of the investigation we meet some fae, a pedophile vampire, and a group of mean vamps that have it out for Anita and Jean-Claude. The sexual tension between Anita and Jean-Claude keeps mounting, and Anita's morals and beliefs get challenged. There is non stop action throughout this book, and an easy to follow yet exciting mystery. Definitely a step up from the last few.

I wouldn't say 'dreadful'

I read this book during a binge of early 20th century gay fiction and I wouldn't say it was 'dreadful.' If you're talking esoterics, Ronald Firbanks is the bloke you want! Wyndham Lewis was equally unrewarding. There was at least some humor in The Young and Evil, when the protag pukes on the straight woman! I laughed. The copy they interlibrary loaned me was printed in Paris on handmade paper--you probably won't find anything so opulent on Amazon . . . I digress, I caught more of a Joycean feeling than Stein but I can't stand that woman!

Good case study

As this type of exodus had occurred before in other large U.S cities, I believe this book is an excellent detailed account of what occurred in Boston. The author does a great job of showing all of the issues facing those involved (local politicians, Jews, Blacks, etc.). The end got a little boring for me since I was interested less in the legislation surrounding this problem and more in how it affected individuals. I highly recommend this book if you're from the Boston area or know the area they speak of well.

The most politically incorrect film in ages, I loved it

This revolutionary band of British humorists takes wackiness to a new level. If you ask anyone who has seen this movie "was it good?" they'll probably just say NEE. No matter how many times you watch it, the movie is still side-splitting hilarious. Watching Monty python and the quest for the Holy Grail will put you more in touch with the contemporary culture!

Not good

This unit came highly recommended on this site, but I gotta say, I have been disappointed and frustrated with its performance. I have to go over a fleck of dirt 3 times or so on a tile floor to get it up. Sometimes the sweeper just pushes a speck along in front of it and I have to chase it down. Our little Black and Decker cyclonic hand vac does a better job. The old Hoover electric broom was excellent and lasted about 30 years. Now I am going to give a corded lightweight Hoover a try.

A very dissapointing transfer to DVD.

I was expecting a flawless transfer a la par with the MGM tradition but it was not to be.I hope the people at Warner Bros. will pay attention and give us a truly Deluxe Edition of Garbo's most famous movies, such as Queen Christina, Camille, Anna Karenina, Ninotchka, and Anna Christie (German and English versions).

A Major Disappointment for this Bryson fan

I loved "A Walk in the Woods" and "In a Sunburned Country". They were funny and witty, and made me want to hike the Trail and visit Australia. I am about to travel to Great Britain, so I read this book with much anticipation. I found it ill-spirited and mostly humorless. I started skimming as it was so repetitive that any chapter could have been about any town he visited. It almost made me NOT want to go to Great Britain. I don't understand the reviews that say he talks fondly of England. In my opinion, he bad-mouthed almost everything, and came out looking like an often foul-mouthed old curmudgeon. If you're still interested in this book, check it out of a library and decide for yourself. I'm sorry I spent any time on it, but glad I didn't waste any money. I gave it 2 stars to be charitable.
