1	A must for Sound Of Music fans	This is a heartwarming and sometimes sad account of Charmian Carr's rise to fame as Liesl, who was "16 going on 17".Very well written, I have read this twice and very much enjoy it.	positive
0	Expensive propaganda	Even though I think the Author is right about some of the facts mentioned in his "book" (only 52 pages long!), the book gives no tips, no solutions, no fresh ideas that might help anyone at all.Grain Damage is just mere propaganda were the author complains meaninglessly for 52 pages.On top of that, each page is divided into three sections and only the middle one is filled with text: the other two are filled with uninteresting phrases about grains or fruits.Definitely not worth what the price AT ALL.	negative
1	Awesome read for young adults	This book is an awesome read for someone who is looking for action,adventure and humor. This book is amazing I recommend reading this book.	positive
1	Butterfly Notebook	Its a great little notebook for the money. No lines on the pages but a great price. I am very pleased with the notebook. Its great for doodles or righting. Well worth the $1.50 i paid.	positive
1	Awesome Show!!	With all the crappy shows being released on DVD, I can't believe how many great, quality shows are still not released. I mean, The Simple Life? C'mon. Please.I was about 11 when this show first aired and I remember watching it every week at dinner time. I remember laughing hysterically at the antics of Larry and Balki. I would love to have this series on DVD because I'm sure I would love it as much now as I did back then.	positive
0	Ticking Time Bomb	I received this drive for Christmas. It lasted two and a half months of light use before failing inexplicably. Blinking front indicator light, but the drive won't spin up and no computer I connect it to will recognize it. The day before it worked fine. Tech support was unhelpful, and I'm loathe to exchange the unit for another from the manufacturer. The drive is sealed inside the plastic shell, making removal difficult. I would not use this drive for anything valuable, it's cheaply made and untrustworthy.	negative
1	The Best	This book is set up great. Small quips about various aspects of poker. This book is great for limit.	positive
1	Out of 106 punk cds, this is my favorite!!	This is the holy grail of punk. I've never heard any punk cd by any band that even comes close to being as good as this one. It gets a 100%, not even 99. I know every chord, every note, and every word of every song. you'll never hear a better cd in your life	positive
0	This is not Country Music's 500 greatest!	If you want to include the following records in a list of Country Music's 500 greatest singles:Atlantic city by Bruce SpringsteenHonky Tonk Women by the Rolling StonesQueen of Hearts by Juice Newtonand various other songs listed by Bing Crosby, the Monkees,Los Lobos,Merilee Rush and other "pop" singers, then this is the book for you. Otherwise I don't think the authors have a clue about "real country music". Texas musicians and records are virtually non-existant in this book and the authors like to "sound" politically correct on every review (who cares if a Jimmie Rodgers song was racist?).This book is full of "fake" country records and the reviews are weak. There is a book called "The Stories behind Country Music's all time greatest 100 records" by Ace Collins, it is all this book fails to be. Try out Ace's book if you want a good book on Country music singles. Skip this fluff.	negative
1	Du Fay: Chant & Motets ~ The Virgin & the Temple / Pomerium	Du Fay: Chant & Motets ~ The Virgin & the Temple / Pomerium is a recording under the director Alexander Blanchly who leads the Pomerium on this Archiv Production recording from 1997. Alexander Blanchly has written the liner-notes and the lyrics are available in French, German, Latin and English. Highly recommended indeed. 5/5.	positive
1	wireless	I bought 2 of these controllers for ps2. They are both working great. The do not have the rumble feature, but we dont miss it. they have great range and if there is a delay it has not been noticed. Much much better than other wireless controllers we have owned. the only complaint i have is they are harder to hold on to sometimes. i think its just a matter of getting used to the slightly diffrent design. I have never droped it during play, but sometime when i go to grab it , it slipps out of my hane. my 7 year old does not have the same problem.	positive
0	Don't waster your time or money	Everything Fast had to say could have been done in about three chapters instead of eleven. Most of what he said could be figured out just by going through life everyday. There was really no significant information on nonverbal communication and what it actually means.	negative
0	Avril & Kelly: What do they obviousily have in common?	(look above) wannabe punk hoes; get something better,like Pork Soda (Primus) Life After Death (Notorious B.I.G.) or 200 KMH In The Wrong Lane (TATU).	negative
0	Editorial is terrible	I was looking forward to having a nice hardcopy of the Secret Teachings, as I had read some electronic versions in the past. The book has a nicely styled cover and exterior artwork - and that is all I can say good about the book. Typeset is very, very small - which is a trade off in print production, but isn't very easy to read. Also there are so many text problems that it really does seem to be unreadable. I am not sure if an OCR was done on a previous text or what the problem was but there are misspellings, word replacements, etc. that make this book a waste of time and money for me.You are probably better off finding an electronic copy and reading that.	negative
1	Loving It	This is not the first item I've bought from Amazon but this is what I will focus on. Everything I needed to know about the purchasing of the item I selected was very clear and precise. It was a gift to my pastor. When I gave her the CD I purchsed for her, she said it was as if I had given her a million dollars. You know I loved hearing that I hear the music playing at church and I'm loving it. Ever since I started coming online to purchase products from Amazon.com I have never been let down with the delivery or the price. I am truly satisfied with my purchase. Sincerely, Irene	positive
1	GREAT MOVIE	I have thoroughly enjoyed this movie. I felt the acting was superb. A great casting job. The time line was easy to follow and you can't go wrong with Jean Simmons and Barbara Stanwyck. Of course Rachel Ward and Richard Chamberlain were great in their part. This movie is truly a classic.	positive
1	Very durable	We have this bag in the x-large to line the pail, the medium for daycare and the small for quick outings. It is very durable and after over a year of washing 2-3 times a week, looks as good as it did brand new. My only complaint is that the fabric is not 100% waterproof and it does kind of "sweat" when ful of wet diapers.	positive
0	This toy bites!	This toy is a waste of time and money. We could not even get the shark's mouth to standup. It keeps falling over because of where the fins are placed -- which is significantly differentthan the picture. The hose in the shark's mouth doesn't even work, and the water coming outof the jets on the side only sprays about 10 inches high. Poor design and poor execution.Wish I would have known this before I spent 20 minutes in 95 degree weather setting the darnedthing up. Just more plastic for the global garbage heap! It really is unconscionable to putworthless toys like this on the shelf. Do yourself a favor and don't buy it!	negative
1	Corey Ford - How to guess your age	This is one of the funniest and cleverest stories I have read in a long time. Corey Ford, an author of whom I had never heard, I am not American, has opened my eyes to many other humourists. I will try and read as many of his stories as possible.	positive
0	Will Review It If It Ever Arrives	Ordered it and paid for it in full, (two-year subscription) on January 6 as a gift for my wife. It is almost June and it's no deal from Deal Universe.	negative
0	Irrelevant and outdated	This study guide is not updated to the new NATA format especially concerning the oral practical. The mulitiple choice questions were completely irrelevant.	negative
1	That Special Feeling....	I have had this book in my occult library for a number of years,and I have to admit two things. When the weather is cold, wet andspooky outside, this is one of the books I seem to be alwaysreaching for. Ok that doesn't sound that magickal,but,in actuality, mood is a critical element of real magick. Secondly,there are a number of interesting sigils in this book, and I onceconjured the king Bael using this book,in a very interesting conjuration to visible form, so the sigils work pretty good. I also like the illustrations, back again to that "old black magick" feeling, I suppose.	positive
1	Maggie Carchrie & Ru-Ra	This is a super CD if you're really into pure music. Maggie takes Gaelic music to a new high with her crystal clear angelic voice, and the music is presented largely in the same fashion as it might have been heard in Scotland or on Cape Breton two hundred years ago. Close your eyes and you're transported through time to a distant seashore... no matter WHERE you're listening from. Enjoy!	positive
0	Horrible External Hard Drive Great Bookend	My troubles with this device are never ending! Delayed write failures were the start from there on it was corrupted data, lost data and occasionally just switching off. After some months I could tolerate its horrible yellow glowing smirk no more and it found a new use as a very expensive bookend.What's even more annoying than the poor quality of this product is the total "couldn't care a less" attitude of the manufacturer. They have numerous complaints over the issues with this product. Do you think they've bothered to recall or provide a fix? No. You get told to edit your registry, reboot your machine and other such "magical" cures.Don't buy this unless, of course, you're after a rather fancy bookend.	negative
0	Good idea...poor design	I had my Toro 13" model 51358 String trimmer less than a year. I bought it because it had what looked like the nice feature of turning the handle over and it became an edger. From the beginning, the advance-the-string by tapping it down never worked well. I would stop the trimmer, turn it over and tap the center with my hand and withdraw more string with the other hand. This worked for a while until the smooth metal grommet from where the string fed out from the housing disappeared. The string was now exposed to the sharp plastic edges of the string housing. Two feet of edging and no further before the string broke! After about 6 premature string breaks, the edger fell on the driveway (with a little help from me!!) and the handle broke off. The breaking of the handle was a good thing because the edger now fits very well in the recycle bin!	negative
0	Confused	I liked The Secret History, too, and I didn't think The Little Friend dragged TOO much. Yes, the ending is awful. But I confess I have an even more basic question. I don't understand the title's connection to the book. Somebody please help!	negative
1	Man of Comedy	Everyone should get this movie. This movie was so under rated. Red Foxx, Richard Pryor, Della Reese and Eddie on the same screen together. Wow!	positive
0	Multiple crashes -- unacceptable quality.	The program crashed during Setup. When I finally got it installed, it crashed my machine every night until I uninstalled it.	negative
0	Intro to Research	Required textbook -- while it's a fairly easy read, there are SO MANY mistakes in the book, especially in the charts and graphs. I spent hours trying to make sense of one table, asking other people to work the problems, and everyone came up with the same answer...which was different from the book. The professor worked through the problem and realized the textbook was incorrect. That was the first of many issues that were discovered over the course of the semester. If you have to have this edition (or even future editions) be careful with the numbers!	negative
0	Expect this to fail eventually	And Vonage will not give you a new one, no matter how long you have been a customer. To make it worse, these VOIP routers are a ripoff compared to the price of a decent, unlocked router. I had one of these for a couple years and it drops packets constantly now. It can't even route.	negative
1	Kitchens	I have lots of decorating books, but this one is very nice. I am looking to decorate my kitchen. What more can I say?	positive
0	Not worth the Premium	I am a long time Bosch supporter, and I think my brand loyalty has come to an end. I replaced the OEM blades on my 2004 Subaru Forester, and I have not been tremendously pleased thusfar.The blades are very streaky, and they rub horribly on the bottom part of my windshield. I've tried adjusting the blades, but they still don't seem to mold to my windshield very well. The result is a lot of water splashing on the left side of the windshield. They don't leave a "crisp" straight line where OEM and other blades normally do. They splash water all the way back to the center of the windshield.Very disappointing results from Bosch. I'll be purchasing different blades in the future.	negative
1	I now understand Janice a little better	After reading this book, I now understand (a little better) how Janice Dickinson became who she is today. Behind her obnoxious facade lies a little girl with little self-esteem trying to prove her father wrong. Fun, easy read.	positive
0	Electronizzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz	Avant perhaps, but not exactly hard. This is spacey electronica, dull and slightly annoying. Good to listen to when stoned or sewing.	negative
0	Should of read reviews first	We should of read the reviews before buying this game. On the surface the bundle pack looked promising: two mics with the game. However we were disappointed that the game is nothing like a karaoke experience.The major let-downs include:Mics not compatible with the karaoke seriesHard to improve singing, the videos distract from following the pitch levelCannot mute the lead singer's voiceHard to hear your own voice, the song drowns out anything from the mic.Small cool-feature: able to play-back your voice recording. But you still have to hear it over the song and lead singer.The interface is easy-enough to follow. We started a battle without any problems.The song track is OK. Enough to not get bored.We are embarrassed to be duped by the marketing, next time we will do the research first!	negative
0	news as to extended	director Peter Jackson gave some insight into the upcoming Blu-ray releases of 'The Lord of the Rings'. He was able to not only confirm what we already knew, that the upcoming Blu-ray release of 'The Lord of the Rings: The Motion Picture Trilogy' would present the theatrical versions of the films, but also that the Extended Editions of the films would be available on Blu-ray next year.According to Jackson, the studio has already spoken to him about developing additional extra content for the 'The Lord of the Rings: Extended Edition Trilogy' Blu-ray release. This new content would presumably be added to the content available on the existing 12-disc DVD box set for the Blu-ray releaseUntil then not a chance on this one!	negative
1	Awesome, simply awesome!	Mr. Lawhead is by far one of my favorite authors! This Pendragon series of books belong at the top of the Arthurian legends. I love that he brought it back to the realness of the story and not the added affair and all. I love that Merlin has his powers but they came from God. Simply the best story ever. Thank you Mr. Lawhead!	positive
0	This book is not easy to use	This book is not what I expected. I thought it would be a good quick reference but it's not. The pictures of each kind are limited and I find it difficult to use to identify anything. It also has limited information on each coral. I would not buy this one again.	negative
1	Better	This movie didn't get great reviews, but after watching it I am surprised. Yes there are some plot holes, but the story is interesting. The characters are good as well as the acting. I also liked the story twist at the end. Isabelle Fuhrman is creepy and does a good job. This movie reminds me a lot of "The Good Son".	positive
0	neither a good toaster or a good microwave	The concept is brilliant and I really wish I could say that this unit is a good combination toaster/microwave because I have limited kitchen space. Unfortunately, it only has 600 watts of microwave which means it is very slow at defrosting or microwaving a potato. As for a toaster, it is a failure. If you repeat the process two times, you will get bread with a very slight brown to it but it is not toast. I returned the unit and do not think this should be sold as it does not perform as stated.	negative
1	Design of Analog Filters	This is a great book, very well organized with great in-depth analysis and practical tips. For design engineers, analogue or digital, it's a must have book.Also, I recommend "Introduction of Modern Network Synthesis" by M. E. Van Valkenburg as a companion book.	positive
0	EQ gets old	I'm a veteran of PC EQ, the game was great for about the first year or so, then, after hitting 50+, the game got old-really fast. ... One complaint for the PC version, and I have heard it is about the same on the PS2 version. Names, think of a good fantasy name, add a few extra letters, mix two different objects, whatever works for you. And then spend half an hour trying to get the ... server to accept the names. If you play PS2 EQ, you should probably get broadband, the PC version was HORRIBLE with dial-up. If you're in a fight and you get lag...boom, you die. Unless you have some nice buffs on.Bottom Line: If you're a fantasy person who has enough money to spend on an account and you have a LOT of time to waste, go for it. Otherwise, don't get it.But don't trust me, talk to other people, this is just my point of view.	negative
0	Ego Trip is Right!	I have a passion for forensic science books. Although this book is well written, what takes away the joy of reading it is the author's tremendous ego. That really annoyed me. At the end of the book, the reader can do nothing other than exclaim (facetiously, of course): Wow! What would the world ever do without Emily Craig?! I fully agree with the prior reviewer who was rightfully more critical of the Craig ego than I am here; thus, I will not bother repeating those valid comments. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this book when there are so many more objective and exciting forensic science books out there written by true experts who are not afraid to give credit where it is due. I rarely give a book such a low rating, but in this case, it is the author's inflated ego that has earned it and not the material that the book covers.	negative
0	MST3K Material! Definitely!	I plan to put this film on my worst films ever made list. I mean it was absolutely terrible. It [is bad]! It's only redeemable quality is that you could back and crack on how stupid this film is with friends while you are less than sober. There is a [pjysical gratification] scene that is perhaps novel for 1980, yet of course it's not worth getting this film over, I had more fun watching Hobgoblins that was made around the same time.	negative
1	It seems to actually work	The optimist in me wanted this to work, but the skeptic in me knew it wouldn't. I'm beginning to think the skeptic in me has been proven wrong. I was having an issue where one cat was continuously attacking the other, and the cat that was getting attacked was over grooming and pulling her hair out in chunks. We bought a large cat tree, (2) automatic toys, and the Feliway Diffuser. The unprovoked attacks stopped, and the one cat stopped pulling her hair out. I assumed that it was because the one cat was taking the high ground on the cat tree, and the other one was tiring herself out with the toys. Well, 30 days later, we ran out of Feliway liquid. The unprovoked attacks started happening again, and the one cat has started over grooming again. I ordered more and am excited to see if the situation improves again. I will update my review after a few more months of testing.	positive
0	Average....	I wasn't impressed. It was very, very average. I could have turned it off midway through and it wouldn't have bothered me a bit. See it if you are a fan of the actors, but otherwise, skip it.	negative
1	A moving and detailed account of the Raj and Partition	I am not an expert on the subcontinent, and I found this book to be well written and gripping. It ties together events occurring at nearly the same time, so the reader gets a feeling for the huge tragedy that overtook India. I had read Paul Scott's The Raj Quartet and Staying On, which are fictional accounts of the Partition. This book filled in many of the historical details that serve as backdrop for the Scott novels. I like that this book does not glamourize the English Raj, many of whom were clerks elevated to masters in the British India. It does seem more negative toward Jinnah and the Muslims than the Hindus, but I do not yet know whether this is a fair depiction. The Sikhs come off very badly. It succeeds in inspiring the reader to seek out more facts about India and Pakistan.	positive
0	don't waste your money	this pump only worked for one month, i only used it about ten days of the whole month it worked. it lost power. it took forever for me to get one ounce. it was better for me to use my own hands and i got more milk out for sure. do not waste your money on this pump, it comes out to be more expensive than the others since you have to go out to get another pump.	negative
1	Graphic SF Reader	Obviously a crossover story between the two teams. Each team has a member who has been turned against them. Indigo, in the case of the Outsiders, has Brainiac problems. Superboy, in the case of the Titans, has Luthor problems. Taken by surprise, they need to regroup and deal with this. Trying to stop a Superboy is not very easy to do without dying.	positive
1	Past BAR questions/answers in book form w/ writing strategy.	The book is written by a San Francisco Public Defender, past bar exam grader and essay exam writer. He organizes numerous past bar exam essay questions in two volumes. He provides a strategy for organizing and solving the 13 essay topics and provides comprehensive model answers. The book demands an active learning approach and explains how an essay is graded by the Bar Examiners. If you want to know what's expected of you to pass the essay portion of the exam, this is the book. However, it can be discouraging to see how smoothly an experienced attorney can dissect questions even the best law students would stumble over. It just goes to show again that the most important thing I learned in law school was how stupid I really was and how much I had to learn.	positive
0	No Nick Hornby	I put this book away a dozen times during the first 100 pages because it was iritatingly predictable and I found everything ordinary. Worst of all, as ordinary as it was, it was still hard to believe some parts and dialogue. Unfortunately, I was on a long road trip and this book was all I had. So I trudged forward and found a couple interesting scenes (Meena's wedding) but was happy to finish the book and be done with it.I bought the book because people compared it to Hornby's High Fidelity. I've read High Fidelity and About a Boy from Hornby and I can tell you that this book isn't worthy of the comparison.	negative
0	punisher looses all realism with ennis	I believe that most people who read the punisher read it hoping for a realistic story and character. After all, a guy with no uniform except for a skull on his shirt and no superpowers, the punisher was made this way. However, when Ennis began to write him he lost all sense of realism. Here is what you have to look forward to.The punisher fights a large Russian with big breasts (yes 6 years old may find it funny I personally thought it was dumb) The punisher fights an old lady with no arms and legs, again it was just dumb. If you are looking for a creative story thats realistic don't go here. The people that rated this book so high I believe were just big fans they don't recommend the average person who read this comic I don't think. Think twice before buying it is all i'm saying. If you want to give the punisher a try I'm not saying don't, read "circle of blood" or "punisher warzone" both are great realistice comics with the punisher	negative
1	If only one choice, I'd treasure this version!	Wow! There is a low percentage of change from other versions overall, but the clarity and depth of understanding added is invaluable. I am so thankful to God that he has opened this door of understanding to further grown.The book itself is well made and small.	positive
1	Buy this battery if you have a Panasonic cordless phone	We made the mistake of buying a so-called compatible battery from Energizer when our Panasonic cordless phone went dead a few months ago. What a waste of money. From now on, we will use only the Panasonic brand. Amazon also has the lowest price along with free shipping. Can't beat that!	positive
1	View from a 12-year-old	OK...First of all, I'm only 12...Most of the reviews are from people who grew up "back in the day", so they really know what they are talking about, but just trust me on this.The first time I heard Shai was a couple of months ago while I was on Napster. I am a huge O-Town fan, so I decided to download some unreleased songs. Well, it turns out that someone mislabled their song, so instead of O-Town, I got Shai. I listened to it a couple of times and I was like "Wow, these guys sound really good," Ever since then, I have had it permanently stuck in my head. I go around singing it all of the time. The guys have really beautiful harmonies, so even if you aren't prehistoric (no offense) you can still jam to this.	positive
1	Best book available on the Titanic	I have to agree with the previous review posted this is probably the best book ever published on the tragic Titanic. It is a beautifully illustrated history of the tragic liner from conception to her well documented demise and discovery in 1985. Ken Marshall's paintings bring the grand dame to life and also help to put into perspective the wreck as she was in 1994 when the book was first published. It is a must have for any Titanic enthusiase even if it is slightly outdated now.	positive
0	Not worth it	If you're a fiction writer that needs a general overview of safecracking methods, then this book might work for you. A professional locksmith, however, will find little of value, whereas the inaccuracies and misinformation contained within spell disaster for the trainee who accepts them at face value.The only ones who might profit from this book are petty criminals who aspire to become safecrackers themselves. The three pages of tryout combinations and the destructive-entry methods might get a crook inside a container, provided he or she has plenty of time and isn't concerned with noise. In most cases, however, it will just mean more work for the locksmith who gets called out to open the safe after a bungled attempt.	negative
0	A master class	Very average (bring generous) session musicians get to play with a top player, but who is not "in the best of health". You get to watch a pretty dodgy gig on a big field with a few hundred fans with a very mediocre drummer wannabe telling you in between tracks how important he is and about the CostWaaalds and how he and the Ox had a chemistry.Who fans should save the cash. Very definitely one for Ox completists only.	negative
0	NOT Trance!	This album contains a series of "ethnic" music with "new age" overtones. Beautiful music for peace and relaxation, but I won't classify this as trance. I was disappointed with the content as it did not give me psychedelia I've wanted.	negative
1	fan favorite	Let me begin by saying what a fan I am of this series. I am 40 years old and am proud to admit that Naruto is one of my favorite, if not absolute favorite anime. The series is able to meld comedy, action and drama in a nice shiney package without going overboard in any direction. The character development is excellent as is story.I would highly suggest this anime to anyone. Start with box set one and enjoy!	positive
0	Great book for all ages	I just finished reading this wonderful novel for my english class. I read enjoyed everything about the book, from start to finish. Beals does an incredible job of giving the reader so much detail that he/she feels they are right there with Melba as she endures the struggles of going to Central High School. Although the book does get depressing at times, it is definetly worth reading the 300+ page book, because the ending is what really ties the book together.	negative
1	simply the best	Eraserhead is perhaps the most unique, macarbre, intriguing, sadistic and brilliant films ever made. Essentially one long dark look into a twisted post apocalyptic world its simply an unforgettable film expierence. From the dark planets to the falling heads it a true classic film and a must own for any self respecting Lynch or film fan. BRILLIANT!!	positive
0	Rush's weakest album	I'm surprised to see all these well-meaning reviews here, because this album is generally considered as one of Rush's weakest. Rush are one of the few bands who have a very loyal following, but anyone who listens with an open ear notices that "Grace.." and the other two mid-'80s albums are claptrap and sound oldfashioned today with their synths- and effects overload. The songs on this album are cold and hectic, the production is sterile, and the band doesn't rock but performs "soundscapes". Sorry, but would you like this album if any other band had served it?	negative
0	Nonfunctional	I have sent this item back to the elusive company that repairs or sends out refurbished stock with you return this CF. On 3 separate times it was returnd, and they seem to have lost the last return- $129.00 down the drain. I prefer my Toshiba 8 gb, as it works flawlessly for at least 48 GB's worth of photos. The Seagate failed every time, after very little use.Definitely not worth the 39.00 they are now selling it for.	negative
1	I loved this movie	I really liked this movie. The actor isn't the greatest, but I just like SciFi movies. The idea is nice, the graphics on bluray are great. I haven't tried the Digital Copy, I hope it works.	positive
1	Terrific combination of music	these songs are so moving. I could listen to them all day. A special friend gave me the CD..maybe that is why I love it so much. Listen for yourself and decide, Plus, go see the movie!	positive
1	It's dorky, but my child loves it	I was reluctant to buy this for my son, because it looked large and dorky from the pictures. However, someone sent it to him as a birthday present when he turned 1 year old, and I've found it to be a surprisingly good walker. We had purchased another fisher price "walker" toy that moved too quickly across the floor. The hippo toy is very stable, and he doesn't have to run to keep up with it. He also likes to climb inside and use it as a chair.	positive
1	Funniest Show	WKRP was without a doubt one of the five funniest television seriesever made! I LOVE IT!!!	positive
1	Brilliant Writing	Brilliant writing and story. Set in Nigeria and written by a Nigerian this is fiction at its best, Nigerian, African, or international--it's up there with the best now (and probably long into the future). Although it's fiction, to understand a little more about the history of Nigeria, read this.	positive
1	The scraper leaves dough behind	Initially I purchased the cookie scoop to use on chocolate truffles. I bought the medium sized cookie scoop, which is to large to make truffles with. The chocolate is really soft and melts so easily that half of the truffle would still be in the scoop.The cookies are great. They are even, which is great for baking. The only problem I have is that the scraper leaves dough in the scoop (if i wasn't a little crazy this wouldn't bother me at all). I love acquiring kitchen toys, even though I still mostly use two spoons to bake my cookies with this was a good purchase. This cookie scoop is a good addition to any bakers kitchen.	positive
0	Blah Blah	This album is gorgeously packaged and expertly engineered. Only problem is, there ain't much more to it. I usually love Gwen's lyrics; they are usually written from the heart and touch on some universal truths about life and love they offer her unique perspective on things.

0	Too many plot holes	This movie will leave you with unanswered questions. I would like to know how the woman the died came back to life. I would like to know if she re-died later in the film, and if so how? I would like to know how no one seemed to know the cult existed. Someone had to...how did they get members? At the end...there seems to have been a family change...was it leagal? How did that happen? I COULD GO ON>>>It's cool for a rental or a cheap purchase...but it will leave you empty. And it's not as scary as people say. And you can see the Heaven's gate influence...to even some of the images of the leader are similar to Applewhite.	negative

The second printer was dirtier than the first and it had stains on the case. It did not work either. I have uninstalled and reinstalled printer drivers on 3 different computers in our office in an attempt to get this printer to work and have had no luck. As far as I am concerned, these guys sell junk. Be very careful if you do business with them.	negative

0	Terrible	If you are looking for an interesting read, look elsewhere. However if you are looking to read the ramblings of a self-absorbed, spoiled NFL player this is the book for you. The entire book is focused on trying to make you feel sorry for NFL players. If you watch any amount of NFL, you know 98% of what he writes in the book. If you got this book for free, you paid too much. Seriously don't waste your time reading this book. I wish I had the few hours I invested in this book back.	negative
1	A fantastic introduction to accoustic talent	If you like accoustical music, Tuck and Patti is a combination which is magical. The "Best of" is for those who want to trial the magic of this duo. If listening to this does not make you buy the other albums, I'd be surprised. This music is innovative and skillfull. It is commercial enough to please mainstream listeners and technical to impress us jazz maniacs. Her voise and his guitar combine with a marriage which probably reflects their own relationship. Keep it up the both of you, I wish you came to London more often.	positive

0	Completely Disintegrated First Wash	I received a Martex Vellux blanket for a Christmas present. Put it in the washer before first use. When wash was done I opened the washer to find it lined with foam pieces and a piece of netting that the blanket had been made from. It completely disintegrated in the machine. My machine is a hydrowave machine that is very gentle on fabrics. I grabbed a black garbage bag and filled it with the "blanket" and tossed it in the trash. This blanket was a piece of junk. Totally worthless and it may have caused damage to my washing machine - wouldn't be at all surprised if it doesn't clog up from all the little pieces of foam. I would stay away from this product - far, far away.	negative

1	This is a very good book on a very good plane.	I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in the Cessna 150/152 series aircraft. It touches on the history of the design and provides detailed specs on each model year to 1985 as well as component descriptions . It also contains a good selection of interesting photographs. A list of maintenance/inspection procedures and current STC's (to 1993) are also provided. Includes hangar flying anectdotes from pilots, owners, and mechanics. NTSB statistics are compared with other light aircraft.	positive

0	No facts, just hype	The author uses many successful companies in his examples. The implications are that if a company has Big Goals it will have corresponding Big Successes.

1	High-quality accessible projects, ideal for self-study	I highly recommend this project-based book to anyone with a passion for programming and the curiosity to dig below its high-level incarnations. This book will show you how to build a computing system from the ground up. In the process, you'll learn about combinatorial & sequential logic, ALU & memory chips, CPU & von Neumann architecture, machine & assembly language, assemblers, virtual machines, parsing and code generation. The hardware part is built using a freely provided Hardware Simulator and the software part can be tackled in any programming language(s) you choose. You can get started right now by going to the book's website, [...], which has some sample chapters and all the tools (like the Hardware Simulator) you'll need to complete these wonderful projects. Each project comes with extensive test cases, giving you immediate feedback on your progress.	positive

0	Mediocre	Georgi's book has its strengths and weaknesses. It is very strong on application to physics but suffers greatly from a lack of mathematical substance. It has all the earmarks of a mathematics book written by a physicist: lots of physical insight but poor logical structure. Clear definitions and statements of theorems are missing and contribute to the nebulous feel of the text.This is the kind of book that a casual reader will go through and think he has learned alot but for which the serious student who seeks a precise, thorough understanding of the material will likely end up confused at many points. It is a book of tools. The reader will not obtain a mastery of the subject but must suppliment this book with other, more theoretical treatments of representation theory.The lack of mathematical rigor is by design as Geogi mentions in the preface. It could have been a better book, in my opinion, had it been more fleshed out in that respect.	negative

Expensive propaganda

Even though I think the Author is right about some of the facts mentioned in his "book" (only 52 pages long!), the book gives no tips, no solutions, no fresh ideas that might help anyone at all.Grain Damage is just mere propaganda were the author complains meaninglessly for 52 pages.On top of that, each page is divided into three sections and only the middle one is filled with text: the other two are filled with uninteresting phrases about grains or fruits.Definitely not worth what the price AT ALL.

Ticking Time Bomb

I received this drive for Christmas. It lasted two and a half months of light use before failing inexplicably. Blinking front indicator light, but the drive won't spin up and no computer I connect it to will recognize it. The day before it worked fine. Tech support was unhelpful, and I'm loathe to exchange the unit for another from the manufacturer. The drive is sealed inside the plastic shell, making removal difficult. I would not use this drive for anything valuable, it's cheaply made and untrustworthy.

This is not Country Music's 500 greatest!

If you want to include the following records in a list of Country Music's 500 greatest singles:Atlantic city by Bruce SpringsteenHonky Tonk Women by the Rolling StonesQueen of Hearts by Juice Newtonand various other songs listed by Bing Crosby, the Monkees,Los Lobos,Merilee Rush and other "pop" singers, then this is the book for you. Otherwise I don't think the authors have a clue about "real country music". Texas musicians and records are virtually non-existant in this book and the authors like to "sound" politically correct on every review (who cares if a Jimmie Rodgers song was racist?).This book is full of "fake" country records and the reviews are weak. There is a book called "The Stories behind Country Music's all time greatest 100 records" by Ace Collins, it is all this book fails to be. Try out Ace's book if you want a good book on Country music singles. Skip this fluff.

I bought 2 of these controllers for ps2. They are both working great. The do not have the rumble feature, but we dont miss it. they have great range and if there is a delay it has not been noticed. Much much better than other wireless controllers we have owned. the only complaint i have is they are harder to hold on to sometimes. i think its just a matter of getting used to the slightly diffrent design. I have never droped it during play, but sometime when i go to grab it , it slipps out of my hane. my 7 year old does not have the same problem.

Editorial is terrible

I was looking forward to having a nice hardcopy of the Secret Teachings, as I had read some electronic versions in the past. The book has a nicely styled cover and exterior artwork - and that is all I can say good about the book. Typeset is very, very small - which is a trade off in print production, but isn't very easy to read. Also there are so many text problems that it really does seem to be unreadable. I am not sure if an OCR was done on a previous text or what the problem was but there are misspellings, word replacements, etc. that make this book a waste of time and money for me.You are probably better off finding an electronic copy and reading that.

This is not the first item I've bought from Amazon but this is what I will focus on. Everything I needed to know about the purchasing of the item I selected was very clear and precise. It was a gift to my pastor. When I gave her the CD I purchsed for her, she said it was as if I had given her a million dollars. You know I loved hearing that I hear the music playing at church and I'm loving it. Ever since I started coming online to purchase products from Amazon.com I have never been let down with the delivery or the price. I am truly satisfied with my purchase. Sincerely, Irene

GREAT MOVIE

We have this bag in the x-large to line the pail, the medium for daycare and the small for quick outings. It is very durable and after over a year of washing 2-3 times a week, looks as good as it did brand new. My only complaint is that the fabric is not 100% waterproof and it does kind of "sweat" when ful of wet diapers.

This toy bites!

This toy is a waste of time and money. We could not even get the shark's mouth to standup. It keeps falling over because of where the fins are placed -- which is significantly differentthan the picture. The hose in the shark's mouth doesn't even work, and the water coming outof the jets on the side only sprays about 10 inches high. Poor design and poor execution.Wish I would have known this before I spent 20 minutes in 95 degree weather setting the darnedthing up. Just more plastic for the global garbage heap! It really is unconscionable to putworthless toys like this on the shelf. Do yourself a favor and don't buy it!

That Special Feeling....

I have had this book in my occult library for a number of years,and I have to admit two things. When the weather is cold, wet andspooky outside, this is one of the books I seem to be alwaysreaching for. Ok that doesn't sound that magickal,but,in actuality, mood is a critical element of real magick. Secondly,there are a number of interesting sigils in this book, and I onceconjured the king Bael using this book,in a very interesting conjuration to visible form, so the sigils work pretty good. I also like the illustrations, back again to that "old black magick" feeling, I suppose.

Maggie Carchrie & Ru-Ra

This is a super CD if you're really into pure music. Maggie takes Gaelic music to a new high with her crystal clear angelic voice, and the music is presented largely in the same fashion as it might have been heard in Scotland or on Cape Breton two hundred years ago. Close your eyes and you're transported through time to a distant seashore... no matter WHERE you're listening from. Enjoy!

Horrible External Hard Drive Great Bookend

My troubles with this device are never ending! Delayed write failures were the start from there on it was corrupted data, lost data and occasionally just switching off. After some months I could tolerate its horrible yellow glowing smirk no more and it found a new use as a very expensive bookend.What's even more annoying than the poor quality of this product is the total "couldn't care a less" attitude of the manufacturer. They have numerous complaints over the issues with this product. Do you think they've bothered to recall or provide a fix? No. You get told to edit your registry, reboot your machine and other such "magical" cures.Don't buy this unless, of course, you're after a rather fancy bookend.

Good idea...poor design

I had my Toro 13" model 51358 String trimmer less than a year. I bought it because it had what looked like the nice feature of turning the handle over and it became an edger. From the beginning, the advance-the-string by tapping it down never worked well. I would stop the trimmer, turn it over and tap the center with my hand and withdraw more string with the other hand. This worked for a while until the smooth metal grommet from where the string fed out from the housing disappeared. The string was now exposed to the sharp plastic edges of the string housing. Two feet of edging and no further before the string broke! After about 6 premature string breaks, the edger fell on the driveway (with a little help from me!!) and the handle broke off. The breaking of the handle was a good thing because the edger now fits very well in the recycle bin!

Required textbook -- while it's a fairly easy read, there are SO MANY mistakes in the book, especially in the charts and graphs. I spent hours trying to make sense of one table, asking other people to work the problems, and everyone came up with the same answer...which was different from the book. The professor worked through the problem and realized the textbook was incorrect. That was the first of many issues that were discovered over the course of the semester.

Not worth the Premium

I am a long time Bosch supporter, and I think my brand loyalty has come to an end. I replaced the OEM blades on my 2004 Subaru Forester, and I have not been tremendously pleased thusfar.The blades are very streaky, and they rub horribly on the bottom part of my windshield. I've tried adjusting the blades, but they still don't seem to mold to my windshield very well. The result is a lot of water splashing on the left side of the windshield. They don't leave a "crisp" straight line where OEM and other blades normally do. They splash water all the way back to the center of the windshield.Very disappointing results from Bosch. I'll be purchasing different blades in the future.

Should of read reviews first

We should of read the reviews before buying this game. On the surface the bundle pack looked promising: two mics with the game. However we were disappointed that the game is nothing like a karaoke experience.The major let-downs include:**Mics not compatible with the karaoke series**Hard to improve singing, the videos distract from following the pitch levelCannot mute the lead singer's voiceHard to hear your own voice, the song drowns out anything from the mic.Small cool-feature: able to play-back your voice recording. But you still have to hear it over the song and lead singer.The interface is easy-enough to follow. We started a battle without any problems.The song track is OK. Enough to not get bored.We are embarrassed to be duped by the marketing, next time we will do the research first!

news as to extended

director Peter Jackson gave some insight into the upcoming Blu-ray releases of 'The Lord of the Rings'. He was able to not only confirm what we already knew, that the upcoming Blu-ray release of 'The Lord of the Rings: The Motion Picture Trilogy' would present the theatrical versions of the films, but also that the Extended Editions of the films would be available on Blu-ray next year.According to Jackson, the studio has already spoken to him about developing additional extra content for the 'The Lord of the Rings: Extended Edition Trilogy' Blu-ray release. This new content would presumably be added to the content available on the existing 12-disc DVD box set for the Blu-ray releaseUntil then not a chance on this one!

neither a good toaster or a good microwave

The concept is brilliant and I really wish I could say that this unit is a good combination toaster/microwave because I have limited kitchen space. Unfortunately, it only has 600 watts of microwave which means it is very slow at defrosting or microwaving a potato. As for a toaster, it is a failure. If you repeat the process two times, you will get bread with a very slight brown to it but it is not toast. I returned the unit and do not think this should be sold as it does not perform as stated.

EQ gets old

I'm a veteran of PC EQ, the game was great for about the first year or so, then, after hitting 50+, the game got old-really fast. ... One complaint for the PC version, and I have heard it is about the same on the PS2 version. Names, think of a good fantasy name, add a few extra letters, mix two different objects, whatever works for you. And then spend half an hour trying to get the ... server to accept the names. If you play PS2 EQ, you should probably get broadband, the PC version was HORRIBLE with dial-up. If you're in a fight and you get lag...boom, you die. Unless you have some nice buffs on.Bottom Line: If you're a fantasy person who has enough money to spend on an account and you have a LOT of time to waste, go for it. Otherwise, don't get it.But don't trust me, talk to other people, this is just my point of view.

Ego Trip is Right!

I have a passion for forensic science books. Although this book is well written, what takes away the joy of reading it is the author's tremendous ego. That really annoyed me. At the end of the book, the reader can do nothing other than exclaim (facetiously, of course): Wow! What would the world ever do without Emily Craig?! I fully agree with the prior reviewer who was rightfully more critical of the Craig ego than I am here; thus, I will not bother repeating those valid comments. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this book when there are so many more objective and exciting forensic science books out there written by true experts who are not afraid to give credit where it is due. I rarely give a book such a low rating, but in this case, it is the author's inflated ego that has earned it and not the material that the book covers.

I plan to put this film on my worst films ever made list. I mean it was absolutely terrible. It [is bad]! It's only redeemable quality is that you could back and crack on how stupid this film is with friends while you are less than sober.

It seems to actually work

The optimist in me wanted this to work, but the skeptic in me knew it wouldn't. I'm beginning to think the skeptic in me has been proven wrong. I was having an issue where one cat was continuously attacking the other, and the cat that was getting attacked was over grooming and pulling her hair out in chunks. We bought a large cat tree, (2) automatic toys, and the Feliway Diffuser. The unprovoked attacks stopped, and the one cat stopped pulling her hair out. I assumed that it was because the one cat was taking the high ground on the cat tree, and the other one was tiring herself out with the toys. Well, 30 days later, we ran out of Feliway liquid. The unprovoked attacks started happening again, and the one cat has started over grooming again. I ordered more and am excited to see if the situation improves again. I will update my review after a few more months of testing.

I wasn't impressed. It was very, very average. I could have turned it off midway through and it wouldn't have bothered me a bit. See it if you are a fan of the actors, but otherwise, skip it.

A moving and detailed account of the Raj and Partition

I am not an expert on the subcontinent, and I found this book to be well written and gripping. It ties together events occurring at nearly the same time, so the reader gets a feeling for the huge tragedy that overtook India. I had read Paul Scott's The Raj Quartet and Staying On, which are fictional accounts of the Partition. This book filled in many of the historical details that serve as backdrop for the Scott novels. I like that this book does not glamourize the English Raj, many of whom were clerks elevated to masters in the British India. It does seem more negative toward Jinnah and the Muslims than the Hindus, but I do not yet know whether this is a fair depiction. The Sikhs come off very badly. It succeeds in inspiring the reader to seek out more facts about India and Pakistan.

don't waste your money

this pump only worked for one month, i only used it about ten days of the whole month it worked. it lost power. it took forever for me to get one ounce. it was better for me to use my own hands and i got more milk out for sure. do not waste your money on this pump, it comes out to be more expensive than the others since you have to go out to get another pump.

Graphic SF Reader

Obviously a crossover story between the two teams. Each team has a member who has been turned against them. Indigo, in the case of the Outsiders, has Brainiac problems. Superboy, in the case of the Titans, has Luthor problems. Taken by surprise, they need to regroup and deal with this. Trying to stop a Superboy is not very easy to do without dying.

Past BAR questions/answers in book form w/ writing strategy.

The book is written by a San Francisco Public Defender, past bar exam grader and essay exam writer. He organizes numerous past bar exam essay questions in two volumes. He provides a strategy for organizing and solving the 13 essay topics and provides comprehensive model answers. The book demands an active learning approach and explains how an essay is graded by the Bar Examiners. If you want to know what's expected of you to pass the essay portion of the exam, this is the book. However, it can be discouraging to see how smoothly an experienced attorney can dissect questions even the best law students would stumble over. It just goes to show again that the most important thing I learned in law school was how stupid I really was and how much I had to learn.

No Nick Hornby

I put this book away a dozen times during the first 100 pages because it was iritatingly predictable and I found everything ordinary. Worst of all, as ordinary as it was, it was still hard to believe some parts and dialogue. Unfortunately, I was on a long road trip and this book was all I had. So I trudged forward and found a couple interesting scenes (Meena's wedding) but was happy to finish the book and be done with it.I bought the book because people compared it to Hornby's High Fidelity. I've read High Fidelity and About a Boy from Hornby and I can tell you that this book isn't worthy of the comparison.

punisher looses all realism with ennis

I believe that most people who read the punisher read it hoping for a realistic story and character. After all, a guy with no uniform except for a skull on his shirt and no superpowers, the punisher was made this way. However, when Ennis began to write him he lost all sense of realism. Here is what you have to look forward to.The punisher fights a large Russian with big breasts (yes 6 years old may find it funny I personally thought it was dumb) The punisher fights an old lady with no arms and legs, again it was just dumb. If you are looking for a creative story thats realistic don't go here. The people that rated this book so high I believe were just big fans they don't recommend the average person who read this comic I don't think. Think twice before buying it is all i'm saying. If you want to give the punisher a try I'm not saying don't, read "circle of blood" or "punisher warzone" both are great realistice comics with the punisher

Wow! There is a low percentage of change from other versions overall, but the clarity and depth of understanding added is invaluable. I am so thankful to God that he has opened this door of understanding to further grown.The book itself is well made and small.

Buy this battery if you have a Panasonic cordless phone

We made the mistake of buying a so-called compatible battery from Energizer when our Panasonic cordless phone went dead a few months ago. What a waste of money. From now on, we will use only the Panasonic brand. Amazon also has the lowest price along with free shipping. Can't beat that!

View from a 12-year-old

OK...First of all, I'm only 12...Most of the reviews are from people who grew up "back in the day", so they really know what they are talking about, but just trust me on this.The first time I heard Shai was a couple of months ago while I was on Napster. I am a huge O-Town fan, so I decided to download some unreleased songs. Well, it turns out that someone mislabled their song, so instead of O-Town, I got Shai. I listened to it a couple of times and I was like "Wow, these guys sound really good," Ever since then, I have had it permanently stuck in my head. I go around singing it all of the time. The guys have really beautiful harmonies, so even if you aren't prehistoric (no offense) you can still jam to this.

Best book available on the Titanic

I have to agree with the previous review posted this is probably the best book ever published on the tragic Titanic. It is a beautifully illustrated history of the tragic liner from conception to her well documented demise and discovery in 1985. Ken Marshall's paintings bring the grand dame to life and also help to put into perspective the wreck as she was in 1994 when the book was first published. It is a must have for any Titanic enthusiase even if it is slightly outdated now.

Not worth it

If you're a fiction writer that needs a general overview of safecracking methods, then this book might work for you. A professional locksmith, however, will find little of value, whereas the inaccuracies and misinformation contained within spell disaster for the trainee who accepts them at face value.The only ones who might profit from this book are petty criminals who aspire to become safecrackers themselves. The three pages of tryout combinations and the destructive-entry methods might get a crook inside a container, provided he or she has plenty of time and isn't concerned with noise. In most cases, however, it will just mean more work for the locksmith who gets called out to open the safe after a bungled attempt.

A master class

Very average (bring generous) session musicians get to play with a top player, but who is not "in the best of health". You get to watch a pretty dodgy gig on a big field with a few hundred fans with a very mediocre drummer wannabe telling you in between tracks how important he is and about the CostWaaalds and how he and the Ox had a chemistry.Who fans should save the cash. Very definitely one for Ox completists only.

NOT Trance!

This album contains a series of "ethnic" music with "new age" overtones. Beautiful music for peace and relaxation, but I won't classify this as trance. I was disappointed with the content as it did not give me psychedelia I've wanted.

fan favorite

Let me begin by saying what a fan I am of this series. I am 40 years old and am proud to admit that Naruto is one of my favorite, if not absolute favorite anime. The series is able to meld comedy, action and drama in a nice shiney package without going overboard in any direction. The character development is excellent as is story.I would highly suggest this anime to anyone. Start with box set one and enjoy!

Great book for all ages

I just finished reading this wonderful novel for my english class. I read enjoyed everything about the book, from start to finish. Beals does an incredible job of giving the reader so much detail that he/she feels they are right there with Melba as she endures the struggles of going to Central High School. Although the book does get depressing at times, it is definetly worth reading the 300+ page book, because the ending is what really ties the book together.

Eraserhead is perhaps the most unique, macarbre, intriguing, sadistic and brilliant films ever made. Essentially one long dark look into a twisted post apocalyptic world its simply an unforgettable film expierence. From the dark planets to the falling heads it a true classic film and a must own for any self respecting Lynch or film fan. BRILLIANT!!

Rush's weakest album

I'm surprised to see all these well-meaning reviews here, because this album is generally considered as one of Rush's weakest. Rush are one of the few bands who have a very loyal following, but anyone who listens with an open ear notices that "Grace.." and the other two mid-'80s albums are claptrap and sound oldfashioned today with their synths- and effects overload. The songs on this album are cold and hectic, the production is sterile, and the band doesn't rock but performs "soundscapes". Sorry, but would you like this album if any other band had served it?

Nonfunctional

I have sent this item back to the elusive company that repairs or sends out refurbished stock with you return this CF. On 3 separate times it was returnd, and they seem to have lost the last return- $129.00 down the drain. I prefer my Toshiba 8 gb, as it works flawlessly for at least 48 GB's worth of photos. The Seagate failed every time, after very little use.Definitely not worth the 39.00 they are now selling it for.

It's dorky, but my child loves it

I was reluctant to buy this for my son, because it looked large and dorky from the pictures. However, someone sent it to him as a birthday present when he turned 1 year old, and I've found it to be a surprisingly good walker. We had purchased another fisher price "walker" toy that moved too quickly across the floor. The hippo toy is very stable, and he doesn't have to run to keep up with it. He also likes to climb inside and use it as a chair.

Brilliant writing and story. Set in Nigeria and written by a Nigerian this is fiction at its best, Nigerian, African, or international--it's up there with the best now (and probably long into the future). Although it's fiction, to understand a little more about the history of Nigeria, read this.

The scraper leaves dough behind

Initially I purchased the cookie scoop to use on chocolate truffles. I bought the medium sized cookie scoop, which is to large to make truffles with. The chocolate is really soft and melts so easily that half of the truffle would still be in the scoop.The cookies are great. They are even, which is great for baking. The only problem I have is that the scraper leaves dough in the scoop (if i wasn't a little crazy this wouldn't bother me at all). I love acquiring kitchen toys, even though I still mostly use two spoons to bake my cookies with this was a good purchase. This cookie scoop is a good addition to any bakers kitchen.

Blah Blah

This album is gorgeously packaged and expertly engineered. Only problem is, there ain't much more to it. I usually love Gwen's lyrics; they are usually written from the heart and touch on some universal truths about life and love they offer her unique perspective on things. This album however has her talking about the high thread count of her sheets. I am thrilled that Gwen is successful and I wholeheartedly thinks she deserves it but give me a break. L.A.M.B has no soul. I hope the next one isn't as silly and indulgent as the first.

Too many plot holes

This movie will leave you with unanswered questions. I would like to know how the woman the died came back to life. I would like to know if she re-died later in the film, and if so how? I would like to know how no one seemed to know the cult existed. Someone had to...how did they get members? At the end...there seems to have been a family change...was it leagal? How did that happen? I COULD GO ON>>>It's cool for a rental or a cheap purchase...but it will leave you empty. And it's not as scary as people say. And you can see the Heaven's gate influence...to even some of the images of the leader are similar to Applewhite.

Bad printer

I received a printer from these guys and it was dirty and did not work. They offered to replace with a "hand picked" unit from their warehouse. The second printer was dirtier than the first and it had stains on the case. It did not work either. I have uninstalled and reinstalled printer drivers on 3 different computers in our office in an attempt to get this printer to work and have had no luck. As far as I am concerned, these guys sell junk. Be very careful if you do business with them.

I can not believe that two other reviewers rated this so highly. Obviously they have not read books by Radclyfee, Gerri Hill, Frankie Martin, Marian Martin and others. This was a "Oh, I love you at first sight" and then more "I love U's" with little character development or plot. I will not be purchasing any of her upcomng 8 books. I gave 4 of hers a try and that is it! We have many more really gifted romance writers. I suggest you purchase their works...don't wast your money on this one.

If you are looking for an interesting read, look elsewhere. However if you are looking to read the ramblings of a self-absorbed, spoiled NFL player this is the book for you. The entire book is focused on trying to make you feel sorry for NFL players. If you watch any amount of NFL, you know 98% of what he writes in the book. If you got this book for free, you paid too much. Seriously don't waste your time reading this book. I wish I had the few hours I invested in this book back.

A fantastic introduction to accoustic talent

If you like accoustical music, Tuck and Patti is a combination which is magical. The "Best of" is for those who want to trial the magic of this duo. If listening to this does not make you buy the other albums, I'd be surprised. This music is innovative and skillfull. It is commercial enough to please mainstream listeners and technical to impress us jazz maniacs. Her voise and his guitar combine with a marriage which probably reflects their own relationship. Keep it up the both of you, I wish you came to London more often.

THE great American literary genius of the 20th Century.

Let's see now ... have you bought in to the "PowerPoint," bullet-ed, "concise" notion of literature (i.e., stupid, undeveloped, soul-less notion of expressing what it is to be human?) --In THAT case, you will find the works of Thomas Wolfe (as you find the works of Marcel Proust or Thomas Mann) a great big bore. Otherwise ... you will NOT find them a bore; but the very opposite of a bore:--a source of inspiration, of joy, of excitement, of the quintessence of life.

Completely Disintegrated First Wash

I received a Martex Vellux blanket for a Christmas present. Put it in the washer before first use. When wash was done I opened the washer to find it lined with foam pieces and a piece of netting that the blanket had been made from. It completely disintegrated in the machine. My machine is a hydrowave machine that is very gentle on fabrics. I grabbed a black garbage bag and filled it with the "blanket" and tossed it in the trash. This blanket was a piece of junk. Totally worthless and it may have caused damage to my washing machine - wouldn't be at all surprised if it doesn't clog up from all the little pieces of foam. I would stay away from this product - far, far away.

This is a very good book on a very good plane.

I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in the Cessna 150/152 series aircraft. It touches on the history of the design and provides detailed specs on each model year to 1985 as well as component descriptions . It also contains a good selection of interesting photographs. A list of maintenance/inspection procedures and current STC's (to 1993) are also provided. Includes hangar flying anectdotes from pilots, owners, and mechanics. NTSB statistics are compared with other light aircraft.

No facts, just hype

The author uses many successful companies in his examples. The implications are that if a company has Big Goals it will have corresponding Big Successes. The counterpoint is ignored, that with Big Goals comes the possibility of Big Failures. Both are interesting studies, but this book only addresses the former and ignores the latter.

High-quality accessible projects, ideal for self-study

I highly recommend this project-based book to anyone with a passion for programming and the curiosity to dig below its high-level incarnations. This book will show you how to build a computing system from the ground up. In the process, you'll learn about combinatorial & sequential logic, ALU & memory chips, CPU & von Neumann architecture, machine & assembly language, assemblers, virtual machines, parsing and code generation. The hardware part is built using a freely provided Hardware Simulator and the software part can be tackled in any programming language(s) you choose. You can get started right now by going to the book's website, [...], which has some sample chapters and all the tools (like the Hardware Simulator) you'll need to complete these wonderful projects. Each project comes with extensive test cases, giving you immediate feedback on your progress.

Mediocre

Georgi's book has its strengths and weaknesses. It is very strong on application to physics but suffers greatly from a lack of mathematical substance. It has all the earmarks of a mathematics book written by a physicist: lots of physical insight but poor logical structure. Clear definitions and statements of theorems are missing and contribute to the nebulous feel of the text.This is the kind of book that a casual reader will go through and think he has learned alot but for which the serious student who seeks a precise, thorough understanding of the material will likely end up confused at many points. It is a book of tools. The reader will not obtain a mastery of the subject but must suppliment this book with other, more theoretical treatments of representation theory.The lack of mathematical rigor is by design as Geogi mentions in the preface. It could have been a better book, in my opinion, had it been more fleshed out in that respect.
