0	Don't bother....	I got this for my 6 month old son for christmas and he does not like it... never plays with it. Don't waste your money on this one...	negative
1	Beyond the Pale	Hard to review this since my eyes are full of tears from laughing. I own all of Donleavy's books and would rate this his best. Yes, even better than "The Ginger Man". (Incidentally, there is a non-fiction work "The Making(?) of the Ginger Man", which should be read right before curling up with any Donleavy's novels.	positive
0	Werner ladder leveler	I have not installed the levelers yet because my model of Werner ladder requires an additional kit that ended up costing $31 from Werner's web site. Amazon should have included this information and made the kit available to purchase.	negative
1	just got it......	just got this game....i'm pretty impressed with it thus far....it moves fast....this is a good game to show off the power of your dreamcast. i cant stand the voice over commentary, but thats hardly a reason to pass it up. GO GET IT...you wont be sorry.	positive
0	Worst Alien ever	I think the 'Alien' Movie was the best ever, the atmosphere was the best of all four Alien Movies. 2nd was just like an ordinary Action Film. #3 was not that bad, it was mor like 'Alien'. But then the fourth movie was really something different, this is not a classical 'Alien' it's more an ugly Horror Movie with many unnecessary and in my opinion ugly scenes. I think the story itself would not be too bad, but why did the director had to show everything, that has been hidden in older Alien Movies. You know what happens without seeing 'bloody' scene. Conclusion: My ranking of the Alien movies: 'Alien', Alien 3, Alien 4, 'Aliens'	negative
0	dont quit your day job	This album is not good. If you got a lot of money you would think you could get hot beats on every track but that did not happend. To be honest I got 3 friends that are street rappers that are much better than this guy and a hood producer that got better beats. This is just a boring album and I would tell him get a ghost writter and a new producer. Don't waist your money.	negative
1	Splendid Performances of Schubert by Schiff but....	I concur with an earlier reviewer who wasn't impressed with the sound quality of these early 1990s digital recording of some of Schubert's most familiar shorter works for the piano. However, I still highly recommend it based solely on Andras Schiff's beautiful playing. I've had this compilation sitting on my shelves for over a year and finally had a chance to listen to it a few days ago; despite the recording's flaws, Schiff's playing is majestic, poetic, demonstrating his empathy for Schubert's music. Both sets of Impromptus are played with ample dignity and grace; the same holds true for the Landler (waltzes) and Moments Musicaux. It's a pity that Decca's usually high fidelity standards weren't in evidence here, or else I would say that this two CD set would deserve recognition as among the finest recordings of these Schubert pieces currently available.	positive
1	A Musician Plays Beethoven	For years, my touchstone recording of the 32 Beethoven Piano Sonatas has been the Arthur Schnabel 1930s version. I had always wanted sound on a par with the musicianship. However, Fleisher, my favorite "modern" Beethoven performer, although he has given us amazing performances of the piano concerti, never got to these before he was stricken.Have no fear. This is it! Frank's performance is wonderous. The desciple's musicianship is on a par with his mentor, and the sound lets me hear even more. It is even better than I hoped.	positive
1	Good book for the series	If you have read the other books in the series this is a must read. It is not as spectacular as the first 3 in the Demonwars Saga; however, it is still a good book.	positive
0	Nice cover	I bought this book and then took a class with Brian Shulz of Cape Falcon Kayaks. Chris Cunningham says in this book that he built 7 kayaks (at least when he wrote this book), Brian has built several hundred, so this isn't quite a fair comparison. That being said, I found much of the information in this book either too terse to be useful or simply outdated.	negative
1	High quality and great price.	Amazon shipped much faster than they said, again! Great company. Rachel Ray's really smart and her pan is top quality at bottom price.	positive
0	WARNING: This game should not be played!	sigh. This has to be one of the worst games I have ever played. I went back to the video rental store and demanded for my money back after playing this... If you have ever played Tony Hawk, then you will notice that the moves are opposite and slow. If you havent played Tony Hawk, get that instead. If you have played Tony Hawk, run away from this game!	negative
0	BRITA UltraMax Dispenser, do not buy	When something is bad, sometimes you're just pushed to write a review.Never owned one of these. After this one, thinking of never owning one again.Bought it, couldn't clean it. Why? The unit doesn't open.Trying to open it the unit actually broke on two different places and still didn't open.Why open it? There were things inside, product details and what not, to include a sticker with an adhesive at the bottom of the unit that screamed to be peeled off.Terrible, considering that it had no cleaning instructions detailing that which caused me so much trouble.	negative
0	BORING	This is no Mysteries of Funk. It's repetative, boring, unstimulating, standard. No grooves even begin to get ridden until track 6 on the second cd. There's probably a 2 or 3 keepers here, depending on your taste, but otherwise, there's better drum & bass to be had elsewhere.	negative
0	Absolutely NOT!	Well, I'll pile on! I will NOT buy the "enhanced" version of the original Star Wars trilogy. Release the ORIGINAL theatrical version of those three movies on Blu-Ray, and I'll pre-order the moment I know they're available. Thanks to everyone for letting me know these are the "enhanced" versions as they are unacceptable.	negative
0	Don't read this!!!!!!!!!!!!!	This book was the WORST R.L. Stine book i have ever read! I think my rating of a 2 is generous. It has no real plot and is just plain stupid. The killer is so obvious and the ending is dumb. I think they should have to pay back the money we payed for these books. If you like books that have no real meaning and have no reason to read them than this is the book for you	negative
0	Makes coffee, sometimes leaks	This coffee maker makes good coffee, is attractive sitting on the counter, and conveniently dispenses coffee. However, 1 1/2 years after purchase with daily use it now leaks coffee onto the countertop and will have to be replaced. I have replaced the washer inside, but that did not solve the problem. You may want to look elsewhere and spend your money wisely.	negative
0	PS2 - world's most expensive rom emulator	This is simply a joke, christmas fodder. If you enjoy playing this over other ps2 games you must not like utilizing the full capability of your expensive system.Truth of the matter is: konami needed to make up the costs of the developers kit, so it releases a few lame games which will be rented and bought just out of sheer lack of launch titles.The only way this game could have been valid would be if there was a gradius 5 in it as well that is actually GOOD and utilizing that emotion engine.The only emotion evoked by renting this game was pure sorrow. I guess this is what I get for utilizing an emulator to play these games a few years ago.	negative
0	An unfortunate waste of good writing	I've never read any of Shreve's other books, but have heard good reviews. The Pilot's Wife, however, is little more than an empty box wrapped in fancy paper. Shreve does a remarkable job portraying grief and its aftermath - but the book never moves beyond that. The first one hundred pages are beautifully written, almost moving, but do nothing to advance the plot. When the story finally does get underway, the reader is carried along on a thoroughly predictable, emotionally unsatisfying journey. In fact, the most shocking thing about the book is that it turns out exactly the way you expect it to with an ending that is very depressing, formulaic, and altogether stilted. It's a shame that a writer like Shreve, who clearly knows how to turn a nice phrase, had to write such an empty saga. I wouldn't hold it against her in the future: but I wish I'd chosen one of her other books to start with.	negative
0	Lasted less than a week	I ordered this shade a few weeks ago because it's already getting hot in Texas. I didn't start using it until last week though, and my first impression was that it was a really great product that was kind of neat to use. You fold it like a taco shell, twist, and it folds up on itself very neatly and secures with an attached elastic loop. Unfortunately, about the fifth time I used it, the thin wire that runs along the outer rim broke when I was folding it up. I've tried duct, but it doesn't help. The wire keeps poking holes through the shade and the shade no longer folds up. Bit by bit, the wire is working its way out of the shade, and at this point I can't even use it anymore. Don't waste your money. Look for a different product.	negative
1	A must-read for every woman	I am 18 years old, and still I felt as though the topics Susan addresses in her book are a huge part of my life. Above my desk I have pictures of Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn taped up next to a poster of a fifties housewife with the caption "Don't assume I cook." My dog's name is Gidget and the mouse pad next to my computer is of Rosie the Riveter. Whew!! The media shapes and distorts us all. After reading this wonderful book I realized that my monthly internal arguement whether or not I should by the latest issue of Cosmopolitian is completely natural..And that it's ok to buy it every once and awhile. By doing so I am not undermining my beliefs that women and men should be equal or that the education and freedom of women needs to be a goal for us all. Ok that's enough. Buy the book, and then share it with a friend. This one is bound to be a classic.	positive
0	Reliability MINUS	I loved the features of this phone system, and for a while they worked great. I owend 3 handsets. One by one the screens went blank and then they started to not find the base. NOTE: mine were remanufactured, so maybe a new one is fine, Nevertheless it left a bad taste in my mouth for Panasonic phones. Buyer beware.	negative
0	Poorly constructed product!	I am so disappointed in this toy! My 6-year old son saw a commercial for this product and wanted to put it on his Christmas list. For the money this toy cost, it's a big rip-off. The truck has two sides that open up to make a sort of playset. Well, the sides only attach on one end in order for it to open, but they won't stay attached! As soon as you try to open the truck, the sides fall off! Also, there is a track that you can lift up when you open the truck. This is crap, too. It doesn't even stand up straight and my son has a hard time setting it up. All in all, this toy is a total piece of junk and not worth the high price. It's only a few days after Christmas and the truck has already become "dust-gatherer."	negative
0	Missing front pieces	Melville's book is astounding, to be sure, but this version begins with the first chapter, not with the extensive front material that Melville included. In other words, it is NOT a complete text.	negative
0	How low can J. Lo go? VERY low ...	As if her excruciating debut "On The 6" wasn't aural torture enough, Jennifer Lopez brings us "J. Lo," which sounds practically identical to OT6. This is not a good thing. Okay, she may look "phat" in her videos, but the studio pyrotechnics employed here can't entirely cover up the fact that she can't sing to save her life, and the songs are uniformly dreadful. Unfortunately, this album's selling like hotcakes, proving once again the power of MTV in marketing tripe in pretty packages and fooling impressionable kids into thinking that this is good music. Stick to acting, Jennifer--please!	negative
1	Great Buy	Flash light works great! Even better that it works with same battery pack as the drill (same generation/model series).	positive
0	Don't waste your money	DVD has product commercial every other song and most of the songs are not the complete original songs but are shortened or modified versions also the video is repetitious in that the same scenes are used over for multiple songs.	negative
1	Old time gospel blues...if there is such a thing!	Mr. Kaiser has defined Christian blues. His gravelly voice and twangy guitar style set him apart. His music is blues, yet upbeat, and his lyrics inspirational and easy to listen to. It's just the blues guitar, with that loose string twangy sound, and a mean harmonica at times. Very folksy....reminds me gritty old time religion of Louisiana at times.Songs include: Great Change since I've Been Born, Keep Your Lamp Trimmed and Burnin, Shaky Ground, Nobody's Fault But Mine, Go Tell Pharoah, You Got to Move, In the Light of the Morning Star, Celestial Shore, Jesus is Comin Soon, God Don't Never Change, What You Did, I Belong to the Band, You Got to Die, Cornerstone, and We Shall see the King.	positive
0	Wave that flag if you can't see past your own eyes.	I have to admit, this was a great read in the beginning. I was hooked on the initial assault, which served to keep my interest throughout the rest of the novel.The ending ruins this book. With no respect for human life or dignity, I found this preachy first attempt at a novel to fail on all points of accountability. I'm not going to give away the ending, but I will say that the gravity of the situation coupled with a lack humanity leaves the reader saying, "Really? We did that? Just like that? And all the President can do is sigh?"If you're a fan of anything American, don't read this book unless you enjoy reading extensive methods of how we're just like a bunch of terrorists.	negative
0	Just didn't work!	Software just didn't even see my disk and so didn't even attempt to help - had to just wipe it using Disk Utility (which saw the disk just fine) and restore.Total waste of money - contacted Alsoft who make this huge deal about offering no-refunds, talk about a paranoid bunch who don't have faith in their own code.	negative
0	Letdown	Wow, this let me down. I thought she would be a breath of fresh air to music. It is original, but her voice is SO bad that I can't enjoy it. Songs like "Sway" and "Rinse" are so akward that you don't know whats going on. Then songs like "Unsung" and Twillight" are really cool but her voice! Someone else would make them great! "A Thousand Miles" is very misleading because her voice is so much better in it.By the way how dare she do "paint it black".	negative
1	Excellent MP3 Player at a Great Value	I started out with a cheap USB-built-in MP3 player but quickly switched to the SanDisk Sansa c240 - which was a great deal. I quickly fell in love with the Sansa brand and as soon as I saw this go on sale I snatched one up. It's got a great interface and it's designed for use with Rhapsody - a major plus.Pros:- Simple, easy-to-use interface- Great look- FM Tuner- Voice recorder- Rhapsody- Video capability (minimal as it is)- Expandability (via MicroSD)- Pricetag (when on sale and on Amazon)Cons:- Small amount of storage (though ample for the average person)- No way to charge without connecting to a computerAnd that's about it for the cons.Next I'm getting a Sansa View...eventually.	positive
1	enjoying the book	Stephanie Plum is very funny with dry wit, that brings me to laugh out loud! I do like the surprises as I read along.	positive
1	Fighting game for the ages	From the guys who brought you tekken come soul calibur III. Being relesed six years after Soul Calibur, this game satisfies the hungry fans of the series.Featuring about thirty fighters, not to mention the option to create your own fighter. Modes include, arcade, chronicles of the sword, which is like sc II's weapon master mode. and a featured story mode.With the choices you have it will make this game fun for months on end. A great buy for any fighting game fan.	positive
0	Don't buy this!	I ordered this thing and it's a piece of crap. I had it set to spray and alarm and when the motion detecter was set off, all it would do is beep incessently for 10 minutes until I had to finally shut it off to make it stop. Because it's classified as "hazardous materials" (yet pet safe????), I can't even return it. I'm out $50 between the unit and the refill cans. Not happy AT ALL!!!	negative
0	technological blunder	This is the worst dual cam I've ever purchased. The moment I hooked it up, and looked at the picture quality, I packed the camera back up, and stuffed it in a drawer and purchased a better model. For the money, it was a rip off!	negative
1	Good Easy Read	If you like suspense thrillers and easy reading this is a great book. It doesn't have too many twists and turns and is easy to follow. The characters are very likable.	positive
1	Tough, high visibility tire levers that won't mar the rim.	Excellent tire levers. Tough plastic. High visibility for easy retrieval out of seat bag. Lightweight. They won't ding up the rim like metal levers. They easily remove my 29 x 2.2 tire from the rim. The two levers even "click" together and stay that way until needed. I uploaded a customer image with a Sharpie marker for scale. Thanks for reading.	positive
0	Disappointed	I have always had the greatest amount of sympathy for the Kent family, and, at times, for Jason as well. That said, as a friend of Doug Miller (the murder victim) I find it inappropriate that the Kent family is now profitting from this tragedy. Through much soul searching I have forgiven Jason and am fully aware that he acted on information that was false, inflammatory and designed to encourage him to commit a murder. I even, at times, feel sorry for him. I know one day he will realize how he was manipulated and he'll then have to face that he is spending his entire life in jail over a lie. I cannot comprehend what the Kent family has gone through knowing that their only child is in jail. I do understand that they are wanting to tell their story in the hopes of helping others. If that is the case, they should do so in their personal ministry or do something to honor Doug. Do not do so by profitting with this story. Doug's death should not be a means for the Kent's personal prosperity.	negative
0	Journey to the Center of a Mess	Director Eric Brevig and star Brendan Fraser make a valiant attempt to update Jules Verne's classic sci-fi adventure novel for about the fifth time. No one no matter what the budget or media (TV, film , made for cable/satellite) seems to be able to improve upon the original film starring James Mason. Bregi and Fraser try hard and there are some marvellous moments in the film, but overall the film falls flat about half way through. Wooden performancesby the cast, a lackluster screenplay that bares almost no resemblance to the original Verne work, and 3D effects that don't really look all that three-dimensional in some parts.	negative
0	Not too hot	We had a granpappy fryer for 25 years & wore it out. This new one did not heat up to frying temperature - perhaps we just had a dud. They sure don't build em like they used to.	negative
1	FANTASTIC !!!	FANTASTIC !!! Great Stuff !!! I highly recommend this product and this company !!For modeling and game needs, BUY STUFF HERE !!!	positive
1	good entertainment	This book was pretty entertaining. I mean, it isn't a book you'd make a fuss about but it was fun to read. It's about a girl named Alex- she has let her guard down, did horribly at school, and sucked when it came to guys. Her best friend, M, is the total oppisote. This book deals with Alex's problems in school, family, social life, and of course- guys and the whole losing virginity thing. I recommend this book. But don't expect too much from it.	positive
1	good movie	I saw this movie on tv several years ago. Mark Harmon does an excellent job protraying Ted Bundy. It's a good movie without all the blood and gore.	positive
0	Not Feeling Very Illuminated	This was the textbook for a college AI course I took. I wouldn't recommend this book for an introduction to AI. Most topic discussions were cursory and required additional online research. There were very few examples to illustrate the subject material. Those that were provided were very confusing. I actually learned more from the internet searches I ended up doing than from this textbook. I was looking forward to this class, but this textbook did nothing to make my learning experience any better.	negative
1	Must have for kettlebell enthusiasts	I have used this repeatedly to improve my form. Good to use this in conjunction with the video. Pavel is a good teacher and a funny guy.	positive
1	An brilliant album, done by 2 great singers.	Personally, I never used to really like the Warren Brothers until I saw them in concert. They were phenomenal!! On top of that, i got to meet them in person. This CD "The King of Nothing" shows their true colors. From songs such as "Strange", "Moving On", their title track, to the emotional ballad "Thats the beat of a heart", this CD could'nt be any better. This is not a traditional country group, however they can still hold a place in the country music scene. Give or take a few more albums, and this group will be up there with the big ones. Great job on this CD, Brett and Brad!!Total CD time: 43 min	positive
1	the more I see it, the more I like it...	This film has grown on me. I like it more ever time I watch it, which is a good thing for a blu-ray you buy.You want to show off you new blu-ray player and tv, play this film...	positive
0	A big dissapointment	I was totally dissapointed with this book. It began really scary but ended abruptly when it shouldnt have. The worst thing about it is that it could have been better, judging from how it started.	negative
1	A User-friendly Textbook for ESOL Beginners	I've taught ESOL for over 30 years and this is my all-time favorite textbook. It's easy,fun and interesting for both teacher and students to use. The illustrations are clever and funny, the guided activities are interactive, the grammar points are clearly presented, the reading selections and follow-up exercises help students work on their listening, speaking, reading and writing skills.	positive
0	TERRIBLE SERVICE	I order my lights, and the came before delivery time, I was very please until I open the box. the package look like it had been on a storm. very very damage. Personally I don't recomend the seller (They fail to solve my problem, they don't even return my mails anymore).The lights shopping experience was terrible, the lights itself are ok!	negative
1	Outstanding Movie	This movie was hysterical! Normally NOT a fan of Meryl Streep or Alec Baldwin (but a huge fan of Steve Martin), we still thoroughly enjoyed this movie.	positive
0	A little disappointed	Once again this product has a limited list of topics regarding personal prayers. It might have only one prayer for a particular topic if any st all.I will not be buying anymore from this series. I should have just bought one first to try it out.Suzukisue	negative
0	this company sucks	If I had not contacted the seller to see where my product was, I would not have known that I had to contact them again for my refund, because the prooduct is never available.	negative
0	Less than stellar picture quality.	Bought this camera for a beginner camera for my fiance. She used it for about a year until we replaced it with a Sony DSC-W7(No comparison at all). While the camera was fairly easy to use and has a good design, the picture was generally poor with a grey tint to most photos. The flash was inadequite as well. Previous to this, she used an HP 635 2MP camera that didnt have the grey tint to it, could not take a clear picture to save its life. I have pretty much since given up on HP cameras mainly due to poor picture quality. Not too mention the ridiculous battery life.	negative
0	Africa And Twelve Other Tracks.	Africa really is a fantastic song from start to finnish and I had hoped many of the remainder would be of a high standard.The only others I knew are Hold The Line and Rosanna, these are good as far as they go, however most of the rest are not distinctive enough to take my full interest.Having said that Out Of Love and I Won't Hold You Back are ballards in the 1980s Chicago mould, so no complaints there.Overall not the best 1980s rock to be found, I prefer Boston, Joe English Band, Dire Straits, Kansas and Asia.	negative
1	Unbelievable	I've had the privilage of seeing Mindi Abair live when she has opened for Josh Groban this summer. She is amazing, and her album doesn't disappoint. This is a must have for all those who appreciate quality music.	positive
1	Great Anime	Much better than the first Vol. Goes into detail on characters much more. It also has a very wonderful and somewhat perplexing plot.	positive
0	the peach scent is so awful!	The product description never seems to mention that this hand cream would have what supposedly is a peach scent. I took the plastic wrapper off before I knew about the scent, or should I say odor, so I cannot return this item since it is considered "opened." I tried to give it to several friends who all said no thank you. The smell is so unpleasant that I have thrown it all away. Do not buy this scented product!	negative
0	Total Waste of Time	There is nothing in this book that is not available in a general self-help on having a better sexual relationship with your significant other. There is no meaningful discussion about real energy sharing, opening chakras, kundalini, or even real Tantric sexual practices. Complete waste of time.	negative
1	No coasters.	DVDs have produced no coasters that were caused by poor quality, only caused by user error (too many tasks while writing in background).Two thumbs up.	positive
0	I love MEST...until now	What HAPPENED!!! I have every MEST CD and love them. They are punky, poppy and have a warped sense of humor. This CD is whining and sadness songs with boring melodic pith. Several songs are about "Goodbye", "Last Goodbye", "Sad Goodbye", and then 2 songs with "Nightmare", "this Nightmare" blah, blah, blah. I kept advancing the CD and waiting for the fun and humorous punk songs and...........NOTHING! BOOOOOOOORRRRING. Last MEST album I will ever buy. Sad to day.	negative
1	Perfect gifts for birthdays.	I saw these from someone's house and decided to buy this as a gift, it turns out to be a huge success and should have bought more as holiday gifts!	positive
0	The Message re: John 3:16	The Message regarding John 3:16 reads "This is how much God loved the world: He gave his Son, his one and only Son. And this is why: so that no one need be destroyed, but believing in him, anyone can have a whole and lasting life.A reviewer states that this is a fresh view that makes you think.I don't understand how "...whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life (John 3:16 NKJV) turns into "a whole and lasting life". John is telling us that if we believe in Jesus we will have eternal life, not a whole and lasting (physical) life.	negative
0	say it, don't spray it	Show, don't tell. That's what I learned in my undergraduate fiction writing class. And I'm sure that Melville learned it, too. Coxe and Chapman weren't as attentive, I'm afraid.The play spells out the "clunky"--read: metaphysical--conflicts in the plot, and even dramatizes secret meeting between Billy and Vere. The main thrust of the story is that we don't get to see that! The only thing it moved was my bowels. I wonder why it hasn't been performed in 30 years...For and excellent dramatic adaptation, see Britten's opera. It at least preserves the mystery and the psychology of Melville's masterpiece.	negative
1	More Bryson City Stories	This is a delightful mixture of tales by a young doctor living in the south. I love this family. Some stories are funny, some are almost frightening. The overall theme of the book is that of survival. I enjoyed it a lot!	positive
0	Too much of a good thing	I like Natalie Merchant. I like her a lot. But I must admit that I have found her post Maniacs career a bit uneven.Take this album for example. It isn't that there aren't some good songs on it, there are. The problem is that, for the most part, there is very little variety too them. All are very pensive and introspective - to a fault. The lone exception is that mildly upbeat "Kind and Generous" which is probably Natalie's weakest song ever. Full of practically nothing but "thank you" and "na na na" it is so repetitive it sounds like it was never finished.Natalie will bounce back. She has lots of passion and talent. But if you are looking to buy I would pass this one over and go with the latest post-Natalie album from 10,000 Maniacs "The Earth Pressed Flat."	negative
1	Ramekins rack and pan	Product works great. The rack does suspend the ramekins in the water so the bottoms don't touch the pan and I am so glad the rack has handles to easily lift out the ramekins. It couldn't be any easier.	positive
1	Best medical suspense to date	Medical thrillers are my favorite genre. "Harvest" is far more exciting than anything that the masters Robin Cook and Michael Palmer has written.	positive
1	Worth it just to see it	Without repeating what others have said about how good this is (and it is) the thought I have is to appreciate being able to see it at all. Given the production values (high) the cast (superb) the sound (excellent) - to be able to watch this piece in 16:9 on a large screen is an absolute delight. And what a performance- Le Riche in a tour de force of dancing and acting with other etoiles of the POB at their best. The only caveat is that some of the camerawork does not show crowd scenes to their best advantage being too low on the screen otherwise this fine production is highly recommended.	positive
0	Poorly conceived, poorly designed	The American Lawn reel mower is uni-directional, push only. You can't pull the mower along behind you, and you can't pull it towards you. This makes cross-hatch mowing near impossible and even simple straight line mowing considerably harder than it needs to be. The blade height is non-adjustable, the blades jam on the smallest of twigs, and the cheap grips slide along the handle bars requiring constant readjustment. One reviewer mentioned this mower was a car stopper. Yes, indeed it is. People will stop and wonder what on earth possessed you to buy such a horrible mower.	negative
1	Best of Christmas!	This year Nintendo is going to prove its worth. Since the GameCube, Nintendo has gone in order to have an age group with no money play its games (with the exception of Metriod Prime/2). I hope that Nintendo's new marketing people will get Nintendo back in with the right people, the people aged 12-21. Were the one's with money and the want. That is why the PS2 did so well. I've seen pictures of the working PSP and the graphics are crap cpmpared to the DS. The DS is coming out before Christmas as well making it a number 1 choice for parents/Santa this year. Wireless, 2 screens (one touch screen), and backward compatibility, Nintendo has beaten other companies who have challenged their heir to the handheld gaming throne and I don't have to say anymore.	positive
0	Not so good...	I like vampire romances, but could live without this series. The Roxy chick is about as annoying as they get,I would abandon her in a foreign country in a heartbeat. The story drags on and two-thirds through the book I had enough and skimmed to the end. I read the second book in this series first. It was a little better than this one, but once again I skimmed through to the end.	negative
0	Horrible textbook	This book is a terrible, terrible waste of a textbook. The authors spend quite a bit of time talking about absolutely nothing in the book. They oftentimes show examples that are very trite and obvious for anyone to do, but then assign much harder problems. I was very annoyed that they never even bothered to do a complete Kirchoff's rules circuit problem. They emphasize absolutely NO conceptual understanding of the material. I can cite no redeeming qualities of the book except perhaps for decent diagrams.This is written as a graduate physicist; I am no stranger to difficult physics problems. The problems jump from stupidly easy to difficult in a way that is hard for first years, and I sympathize with their difficulty with this book.	negative
1	a different, but awesome sound	incubus has been my fave band for years, and morning veiw is my fave album. the sound is much different from thier previous CDs but is similar to that of A crow left of the murder. i enjoy the poetic lyrics and the touch of DJ in the music. a perfectly mixed disc, and one of my all time faves.	positive

0	Doesn't work!	I have some suede boots that needed a bit of freshening up, but it did nothing. The bar itself seems like a cheap knock-off of a magic eraser. It falls apart easily, and didn't actually clean any of the dirty spots on my boots, no matter how softly or vigorously I rubbed.	negative
0	Kinyo VHS Tape Rewinder	I think I just got a defective one. When I put the tape in, it immediately started making a loud screeching noise and would not stop.

To my surprise it was so easy and efficient.	negative
0	Ick Ick Ick Ick	This book makes me think of something that could be made in to a very bad "TEEN" movie. It has a plot, that goes nowhere, and was really annoying. It is packed full of bad jokes, corney puns, and other bad stuff.	negative
1	Great science videos.	My children love these videos. Although they are just 7 and 9 years old, they learn something everytime they watch any of them - and so do I! These videos have a great way of presenting the amazing wonders of nature and God's handywork all around us. We purchased the 19 DVD setMoody Science Classics: 19-DVD Set, and it was well worth it!!!	positive

0	Poorly designed	I own the 9-piece Kitchenaid Clad set. They are all great except for this piece. The lid does not fit well. This is hard to describe however when the lid is on, you can push it into the saucepan, i.e. when pushed to the side, you can see inside the pan... it's too small I guess! Also, the steamer (KitchenAid 2-1/2-Quart Stainless Steel Clad Steamer Insert) doesn't fit well which leads to the steamer tipping when on the saucepan.Ultimately, this pan is disappointing when compared to the other Kitchenaid Clad products.	negative

1	Great headphones for the money	I ordered the unit 5 days before my long trip from Seattle to Istanbul. It arrived in 3 days and it turned out to be a great investment. It really cuts down the roar of the wind and engine noise during flight at least by 60%. There is no hiss or other noticible noise when turned on. The only problem is it gets a little uncomfortable after 2 hours of wearing it. The ear cups are a little small, so, the ears seem to touch the interior, but that is not a big discomfort. If you have snall ears (a pettite lady for instance) it would be perfect. The fact that they fold neetly and fit in the provided pouch makes it easy to stuff in your carry on.I am glad I purchased them and I will take them with me on all long flighs.	positive

0	I hope you don't get a defective Camera Casio's Warranty Proccess is the worst I have seen	I bought this camera because of the good ratings. I had tried it for a couple of weeks, and it kept taking blurry pictures. I called Casio support, and they had me reset everything and then try it for a couple of more weeks. Of course, by this time, it was too late to return it (I should have followed my instincts and returned it.) I called Casio after several months of blurry pictures (about 80%). First of all, Casio doesn't service the camera, a third part does. Second, you have to pay all expenses to ship the camera to the third party (about $15.00 UPS Ground.) Then the third party sends you a letter a couple of days later telling you they won't repair the camera until you send them $15.00 to mail the camera back to you. On top of this, the newly fixed camera (only 4 months old) only comes with a 90 day warranty. After that, you have to pay all of these fees again. I even buy $9.99 casio watch again.	negative
1	Love this watch	I have small wrists but do not typically like small watches so I am always on the look out for pretty but girly bigger watches. I love this watch -- it is so pretty, larger so to me it is sportier but still looks like a watch meant for a woman.I have received compliments on this watch from just about everyone I know - and so many people have said what an expensive watch it must be. I surprised them all when I told them it was under $300!!!!If you are in the market for a little bigger of a watch, wanting something that looks great with jeans or shorts but also with your little black dress then this watch is what you have been waiting for!!Enjoy your purchase!!!	positive
1	PERFECTION	I first heard "Here with me," on the radio about 2 months ago. I was really drawn to the song. So, I called the radio station and they gave me her name. Later that day, I searched many sites on the internet getting a bunch of reviews on the album. I am really sceptical about getting a CD for just one song. But, all I read was good reviews. I purchased the CD and I am just blown away. If you like Sarah Mclachlan and Beth Orton, get this. She has the voice like Sarah, and can write as well as Beth Orton. I play the CD everyday since purchasing it and it is perfect.	positive
1	Smooth Down works great	I love this treatment. Doesnt weigh my hair down and take all the frizz out! Ive bought this product multiple times.	positive
1	An introduction to Waterloo for beginners	I rate this book highly because it does its job, which is an introduction and background to the Battle of Waterloo for people who are new to this part of history and might want a good general background and understanding without going too deeply into the area. Very easy to read with lots of pictures. Don't expect a big heavy tome though, it really is a beginner's guide and a good one too. A very good starting point and easily digested. The only criticism I had was that the illustrations don't include the date, so a picture in the book is often not contemporary at all but painted decades after the Battle. There are many contemporary illustrations but many aren't and it is impossible to tell as dates aren't given. Since often contemporary pictures and illustrations tell us much, I found it bad historical practice that dates weren't given. However, a good starting point for the novice researcher.	positive
0	Why Do People Belive Such [Stuff]???	You know, its you freaky christain parents that raise the worst children. When you shield your child from things like that it just makes them want to rebell when they grow up. Also, I think this author might be living in La La land. I don't think there's much pride in being a christian. People just need to learn to open their eyes a little and see how stupid they are being. If someone you know has just come out of the broom closet (witch's term for letting everyone know you're Wiccan) and you're thinking about reading this book to learn more, you need to look elsewhere. Try When Someone You Love Is Wiccan: A Guide to Witchcraft and Paganism for Concerned Friends, Nervous Parents, and Curious CO-Workers by Carl McColman.	negative
0	A portrait of who?	I have to agree with another reviewer, I didn't think it was a radical new direction for biography either... I'm not even done with the book yet and I'm still waiting for Ms. Dillon to begin shifting the focus of her investigations away from herself and Jane Bowles.Right now I'm thinking that perhaps I'd prefer reading The Invisible Spectator by Christopher Sawyer-Laucanno. Maybe that would be a better portrait of Mr. Bowles...	negative

0	Too complicated for the task	I have used pedometers before and they just show the number of steps. I did not want or need a course in how to program a complicated system for computing many things in order to use the pedometer. It matters not how long my strides are or how much I weigh. All I want to know is how many steps I ordinarily do and then increase them to increase my lung capacity leg and back strength. It builds self esteem and self confidence.I will continue to use my old pedometer and try to program my new one, but the ones I bought for my husband and daughter to encourage them to more physical fitness will lie in a drawer with the instructions because it took too much time and effort to analyze.Please quit trying to make things more digital and complicated when it is only a $12 item and wanted for one thing.Thank youAlice Brown	negative
1	An arresting performance	This is one of Britten`s starkest scores, not the "fluidity" of Grimes or the sensuality of Venice.But, great music.As this is largely a static plot, no much movement goes on stage.The staging is very restrained, with distinct japanese influences.The singing and acting are very good, so why only 4 stars?

I read this novel/collection/play straight through. The story is captivating. What do you get when a sexy singer crosses paths with a drunken detective?

Worst Alien ever

I think the 'Alien' Movie was the best ever, the atmosphere was the best of all four Alien Movies. 2nd was just like an ordinary Action Film. #3 was not that bad, it was mor like 'Alien'. But then the fourth movie was really something different, this is not a classical 'Alien' it's more an ugly Horror Movie with many unnecessary and in my opinion ugly scenes. I think the story itself would not be too bad, but why did the director had to show everything, that has been hidden in older Alien Movies. You know what happens without seeing 'bloody' scene. Conclusion: My ranking of the Alien movies: 'Alien', Alien 3, Alien 4, 'Aliens'

This album is not good. If you got a lot of money you would think you could get hot beats on every track but that did not happend. To be honest I got 3 friends that are street rappers that are much better than this guy and a hood producer that got better beats. This is just a boring album and I would tell him get a ghost writter and a new producer. Don't waist your money.

Splendid Performances of Schubert by Schiff but....

I concur with an earlier reviewer who wasn't impressed with the sound quality of these early 1990s digital recording of some of Schubert's most familiar shorter works for the piano. However, I still highly recommend it based solely on Andras Schiff's beautiful playing. I've had this compilation sitting on my shelves for over a year and finally had a chance to listen to it a few days ago; despite the recording's flaws, Schiff's playing is majestic, poetic, demonstrating his empathy for Schubert's music. Both sets of Impromptus are played with ample dignity and grace; the same holds true for the Landler (waltzes) and Moments Musicaux. It's a pity that Decca's usually high fidelity standards weren't in evidence here, or else I would say that this two CD set would deserve recognition as among the finest recordings of these Schubert pieces currently available.

A Musician Plays Beethoven

For years, my touchstone recording of the 32 Beethoven Piano Sonatas has been the Arthur Schnabel 1930s version. I had always wanted sound on a par with the musicianship. However, Fleisher, my favorite "modern" Beethoven performer, although he has given us amazing performances of the piano concerti, never got to these before he was stricken.Have no fear. This is it! Frank's performance is wonderous. The desciple's musicianship is on a par with his mentor, and the sound lets me hear even more. It is even better than I hoped.

I bought this book and then took a class with Brian Shulz of Cape Falcon Kayaks. Chris Cunningham says in this book that he built 7 kayaks (at least when he wrote this book), Brian has built several hundred, so this isn't quite a fair comparison. That being said, I found much of the information in this book either too terse to be useful or simply outdated.

BRITA UltraMax Dispenser, do not buy

When something is bad, sometimes you're just pushed to write a review.Never owned one of these. After this one, thinking of never owning one again.Bought it, couldn't clean it. Why? The unit doesn't open.Trying to open it the unit actually broke on two different places and still didn't open.Why open it? There were things inside, product details and what not, to include a sticker with an adhesive at the bottom of the unit that screamed to be peeled off.Terrible, considering that it had no cleaning instructions detailing that which caused me so much trouble.

This coffee maker makes good coffee, is attractive sitting on the counter, and conveniently dispenses coffee. However, 1 1/2 years after purchase with daily use it now leaks coffee onto the countertop and will have to be replaced. I have replaced the washer inside, but that did not solve the problem.

PS2 - world's most expensive rom emulator

This is simply a joke, christmas fodder. If you enjoy playing this over other ps2 games you must not like utilizing the full capability of your expensive system.Truth of the matter is: konami needed to make up the costs of the developers kit, so it releases a few lame games which will be rented and bought just out of sheer lack of launch titles.The only way this game could have been valid would be if there was a gradius 5 in it as well that is actually GOOD and utilizing that emotion engine.The only emotion evoked by renting this game was pure sorrow. I guess this is what I get for utilizing an emulator to play these games a few years ago.

An unfortunate waste of good writing

I've never read any of Shreve's other books, but have heard good reviews. The Pilot's Wife, however, is little more than an empty box wrapped in fancy paper. Shreve does a remarkable job portraying grief and its aftermath - but the book never moves beyond that. The first one hundred pages are beautifully written, almost moving, but do nothing to advance the plot. When the story finally does get underway, the reader is carried along on a thoroughly predictable, emotionally unsatisfying journey. In fact, the most shocking thing about the book is that it turns out exactly the way you expect it to with an ending that is very depressing, formulaic, and altogether stilted. It's a shame that a writer like Shreve, who clearly knows how to turn a nice phrase, had to write such an empty saga. I wouldn't hold it against her in the future: but I wish I'd chosen one of her other books to start with.

Lasted less than a week

I ordered this shade a few weeks ago because it's already getting hot in Texas. I didn't start using it until last week though, and my first impression was that it was a really great product that was kind of neat to use. You fold it like a taco shell, twist, and it folds up on itself very neatly and secures with an attached elastic loop. Unfortunately, about the fifth time I used it, the thin wire that runs along the outer rim broke when I was folding it up. I've tried duct, but it doesn't help. The wire keeps poking holes through the shade and the shade no longer folds up. Bit by bit, the wire is working its way out of the shade, and at this point I can't even use it anymore. Don't waste your money. Look for a different product.

A must-read for every woman

I am 18 years old, and still I felt as though the topics Susan addresses in her book are a huge part of my life. Above my desk I have pictures of Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn taped up next to a poster of a fifties housewife with the caption "Don't assume I cook." My dog's name is Gidget and the mouse pad next to my computer is of Rosie the Riveter. Whew!! The media shapes and distorts us all. After reading this wonderful book I realized that my monthly internal arguement whether or not I should by the latest issue of Cosmopolitian is completely natural..And that it's ok to buy it every once and awhile. By doing so I am not undermining my beliefs that women and men should be equal or that the education and freedom of women needs to be a goal for us all. Ok that's enough. Buy the book, and then share it with a friend. This one is bound to be a classic.

Poorly constructed product!

I am so disappointed in this toy! My 6-year old son saw a commercial for this product and wanted to put it on his Christmas list. For the money this toy cost, it's a big rip-off. The truck has two sides that open up to make a sort of playset. Well, the sides only attach on one end in order for it to open, but they won't stay attached! As soon as you try to open the truck, the sides fall off! Also, there is a track that you can lift up when you open the truck. This is crap, too. It doesn't even stand up straight and my son has a hard time setting it up. All in all, this toy is a total piece of junk and not worth the high price. It's only a few days after Christmas and the truck has already become "dust-gatherer."

As if her excruciating debut "On The 6" wasn't aural torture enough, Jennifer Lopez brings us "J. Lo," which sounds practically identical to OT6. This is not a good thing. Okay, she may look "phat" in her videos, but the studio pyrotechnics employed here can't entirely cover up the fact that she can't sing to save her life, and the songs are uniformly dreadful. Unfortunately, this album's selling like hotcakes, proving once again the power of MTV in marketing tripe in pretty packages and fooling impressionable kids into thinking that this is good music. Stick to acting, Jennifer--please!

Old time gospel blues...if there is such a thing!

Mr. Kaiser has defined Christian blues. His gravelly voice and twangy guitar style set him apart. His music is blues, yet upbeat, and his lyrics inspirational and easy to listen to. It's just the blues guitar, with that loose string twangy sound, and a mean harmonica at times. Very folksy....reminds me gritty old time religion of Louisiana at times.Songs include: Great Change since I've Been Born, Keep Your Lamp Trimmed and Burnin, Shaky Ground, Nobody's Fault But Mine, Go Tell Pharoah, You Got to Move, In the Light of the Morning Star, Celestial Shore, Jesus is Comin Soon, God Don't Never Change, What You Did, I Belong to the Band, You Got to Die, Cornerstone, and We Shall see the King.

Wave that flag if you can't see past your own eyes.

I have to admit, this was a great read in the beginning. I was hooked on the initial assault, which served to keep my interest throughout the rest of the novel.The ending ruins this book. With no respect for human life or dignity, I found this preachy first attempt at a novel to fail on all points of accountability. I'm not going to give away the ending, but I will say that the gravity of the situation coupled with a lack humanity leaves the reader saying, "Really? We did that? Just like that? And all the President can do is sigh?"If you're a fan of anything American, don't read this book unless you enjoy reading extensive methods of how we're just like a bunch of terrorists.

Wow, this let me down. I thought she would be a breath of fresh air to music. It is original, but her voice is SO bad that I can't enjoy it. Songs like "Sway" and "Rinse" are so akward that you don't know whats going on. Then songs like "Unsung" and Twillight" are really cool but her voice! Someone else would make them great! "A Thousand Miles" is very misleading because her voice is so much better in it.By the way how dare she do "paint it black".

Excellent MP3 Player at a Great Value

I started out with a cheap USB-built-in MP3 player but quickly switched to the SanDisk Sansa c240 - which was a great deal. I quickly fell in love with the Sansa brand and as soon as I saw this go on sale I snatched one up. It's got a great interface and it's designed for use with Rhapsody - a major plus.Pros:- Simple, easy-to-use interface- Great look- FM Tuner- Voice recorder- Rhapsody- Video capability (minimal as it is)- Expandability (via MicroSD)- Pricetag (when on sale and on Amazon)Cons:- Small amount of storage (though ample for the average person)- No way to charge without connecting to a computerAnd that's about it for the cons.Next I'm getting a Sansa View...eventually.

Disappointed

I have always had the greatest amount of sympathy for the Kent family, and, at times, for Jason as well. That said, as a friend of Doug Miller (the murder victim) I find it inappropriate that the Kent family is now profitting from this tragedy. Through much soul searching I have forgiven Jason and am fully aware that he acted on information that was false, inflammatory and designed to encourage him to commit a murder. I even, at times, feel sorry for him. I know one day he will realize how he was manipulated and he'll then have to face that he is spending his entire life in jail over a lie. I cannot comprehend what the Kent family has gone through knowing that their only child is in jail. I do understand that they are wanting to tell their story in the hopes of helping others. If that is the case, they should do so in their personal ministry or do something to honor Doug. Do not do so by profitting with this story. Doug's death should not be a means for the Kent's personal prosperity.

Journey to the Center of a Mess

Director Eric Brevig and star Brendan Fraser make a valiant attempt to update Jules Verne's classic sci-fi adventure novel for about the fifth time. No one no matter what the budget or media (TV, film , made for cable/satellite) seems to be able to improve upon the original film starring James Mason. Bregi and Fraser try hard and there are some marvellous moments in the film, but overall the film falls flat about half way through. Wooden performancesby the cast, a lackluster screenplay that bares almost no resemblance to the original Verne work, and 3D effects that don't really look all that three-dimensional in some parts.

I saw this movie on tv several years ago. Mark Harmon does an excellent job protraying Ted Bundy. It's a good movie without all the blood and gore.

Not Feeling Very Illuminated

This was the textbook for a college AI course I took. I wouldn't recommend this book for an introduction to AI. Most topic discussions were cursory and required additional online research. There were very few examples to illustrate the subject material. Those that were provided were very confusing. I actually learned more from the internet searches I ended up doing than from this textbook. I was looking forward to this class, but this textbook did nothing to make my learning experience any better.

An brilliant album, done by 2 great singers.

Personally, I never used to really like the Warren Brothers until I saw them in concert. They were phenomenal!! On top of that, i got to meet them in person. This CD "The King of Nothing" shows their true colors. From songs such as "Strange", "Moving On", their title track, to the emotional ballad "Thats the beat of a heart", this CD could'nt be any better. This is not a traditional country group, however they can still hold a place in the country music scene. Give or take a few more albums, and this group will be up there with the big ones. Great job on this CD, Brett and Brad!!Total CD time: 43 min

I was totally dissapointed with this book. It began really scary but ended abruptly when it shouldnt have. The worst thing about it is that it could have been better, judging from how it started.

A User-friendly Textbook for ESOL Beginners

I've taught ESOL for over 30 years and this is my all-time favorite textbook. It's easy,fun and interesting for both teacher and students to use. The illustrations are clever and funny, the guided activities are interactive, the grammar points are clearly presented, the reading selections and follow-up exercises help students work on their listening, speaking, reading and writing skills.

Less than stellar picture quality.

Bought this camera for a beginner camera for my fiance. She used it for about a year until we replaced it with a Sony DSC-W7(No comparison at all). While the camera was fairly easy to use and has a good design, the picture was generally poor with a grey tint to most photos. The flash was inadequite as well. Previous to this, she used an HP 635 2MP camera that didnt have the grey tint to it, could not take a clear picture to save its life. I have pretty much since given up on HP cameras mainly due to poor picture quality. Not too mention the ridiculous battery life.

Africa And Twelve Other Tracks.

Africa really is a fantastic song from start to finnish and I had hoped many of the remainder would be of a high standard.The only others I knew are Hold The Line and Rosanna, these are good as far as they go, however most of the rest are not distinctive enough to take my full interest.Having said that Out Of Love and I Won't Hold You Back are ballards in the 1980s Chicago mould, so no complaints there.Overall not the best 1980s rock to be found, I prefer Boston, Joe English Band, Dire Straits, Kansas and Asia.

the peach scent is so awful!

The product description never seems to mention that this hand cream would have what supposedly is a peach scent. I took the plastic wrapper off before I knew about the scent, or should I say odor, so I cannot return this item since it is considered "opened." I tried to give it to several friends who all said no thank you. The smell is so unpleasant that I have thrown it all away. Do not buy this scented product!

I love MEST...until now

What HAPPENED!!! I have every MEST CD and love them. They are punky, poppy and have a warped sense of humor. This CD is whining and sadness songs with boring melodic pith. Several songs are about "Goodbye", "Last Goodbye", "Sad Goodbye", and then 2 songs with "Nightmare", "this Nightmare" blah, blah, blah. I kept advancing the CD and waiting for the fun and humorous punk songs and...........NOTHING! BOOOOOOOORRRRING. Last MEST album I will ever buy. Sad to day.

The Message re: John 3:16

The Message regarding John 3:16 reads "This is how much God loved the world: He gave his Son, his one and only Son. And this is why: so that no one need be destroyed, but believing in him, anyone can have a whole and lasting life.A reviewer states that this is a fresh view that makes you think.I don't understand how "...whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life (John 3:16 NKJV) turns into "a whole and lasting life". John is telling us that if we believe in Jesus we will have eternal life, not a whole and lasting (physical) life.

say it, don't spray it

Show, don't tell. That's what I learned in my undergraduate fiction writing class. And I'm sure that Melville learned it, too. Coxe and Chapman weren't as attentive, I'm afraid.The play spells out the "clunky"--read: metaphysical--conflicts in the plot, and even dramatizes secret meeting between Billy and Vere. The main thrust of the story is that we don't get to see that! The only thing it moved was my bowels. I wonder why it hasn't been performed in 30 years...For and excellent dramatic adaptation, see Britten's opera. It at least preserves the mystery and the psychology of Melville's masterpiece.

Too much of a good thing

I like Natalie Merchant. I like her a lot. But I must admit that I have found her post Maniacs career a bit uneven.Take this album for example. It isn't that there aren't some good songs on it, there are. The problem is that, for the most part, there is very little variety too them. All are very pensive and introspective - to a fault. The lone exception is that mildly upbeat "Kind and Generous" which is probably Natalie's weakest song ever. Full of practically nothing but "thank you" and "na na na" it is so repetitive it sounds like it was never finished.Natalie will bounce back. She has lots of passion and talent. But if you are looking to buy I would pass this one over and go with the latest post-Natalie album from 10,000 Maniacs "The Earth Pressed Flat."

Worth it just to see it

Without repeating what others have said about how good this is (and it is) the thought I have is to appreciate being able to see it at all. Given the production values (high) the cast (superb) the sound (excellent) - to be able to watch this piece in 16:9 on a large screen is an absolute delight. And what a performance- Le Riche in a tour de force of dancing and acting with other etoiles of the POB at their best. The only caveat is that some of the camerawork does not show crowd scenes to their best advantage being too low on the screen otherwise this fine production is highly recommended.

Poorly conceived, poorly designed

The American Lawn reel mower is uni-directional, push only. You can't pull the mower along behind you, and you can't pull it towards you. This makes cross-hatch mowing near impossible and even simple straight line mowing considerably harder than it needs to be. The blade height is non-adjustable, the blades jam on the smallest of twigs, and the cheap grips slide along the handle bars requiring constant readjustment. One reviewer mentioned this mower was a car stopper. Yes, indeed it is. People will stop and wonder what on earth possessed you to buy such a horrible mower.

Best of Christmas!

This year Nintendo is going to prove its worth. Since the GameCube, Nintendo has gone in order to have an age group with no money play its games (with the exception of Metriod Prime/2). I hope that Nintendo's new marketing people will get Nintendo back in with the right people, the people aged 12-21. Were the one's with money and the want. That is why the PS2 did so well. I've seen pictures of the working PSP and the graphics are crap cpmpared to the DS. The DS is coming out before Christmas as well making it a number 1 choice for parents/Santa this year. Wireless, 2 screens (one touch screen), and backward compatibility, Nintendo has beaten other companies who have challenged their heir to the handheld gaming throne and I don't have to say anymore.

Not so good...

I like vampire romances, but could live without this series. The Roxy chick is about as annoying as they get,I would abandon her in a foreign country in a heartbeat. The story drags on and two-thirds through the book I had enough and skimmed to the end. I read the second book in this series first. It was a little better than this one, but once again I skimmed through to the end.

Horrible textbook

This book is a terrible, terrible waste of a textbook. The authors spend quite a bit of time talking about absolutely nothing in the book. They oftentimes show examples that are very trite and obvious for anyone to do, but then assign much harder problems. I was very annoyed that they never even bothered to do a complete Kirchoff's rules circuit problem. They emphasize absolutely NO conceptual understanding of the material. I can cite no redeeming qualities of the book except perhaps for decent diagrams.This is written as a graduate physicist; I am no stranger to difficult physics problems. The problems jump from stupidly easy to difficult in a way that is hard for first years, and I sympathize with their difficulty with this book.

I have some suede boots that needed a bit of freshening up, but it did nothing. The bar itself seems like a cheap knock-off of a magic eraser. It falls apart easily, and didn't actually clean any of the dirty spots on my boots, no matter how softly or vigorously I rubbed.

Poorly designed

I own the 9-piece Kitchenaid Clad set. They are all great except for this piece. The lid does not fit well. This is hard to describe however when the lid is on, you can push it into the saucepan, i.e. when pushed to the side, you can see inside the pan... it's too small I guess! Also, the steamer (KitchenAid 2-1/2-Quart Stainless Steel Clad Steamer Insert) doesn't fit well which leads to the steamer tipping when on the saucepan.Ultimately, this pan is disappointing when compared to the other Kitchenaid Clad products.

Great headphones for the money

I ordered the unit 5 days before my long trip from Seattle to Istanbul. It arrived in 3 days and it turned out to be a great investment. It really cuts down the roar of the wind and engine noise during flight at least by 60%. There is no hiss or other noticible noise when turned on. The only problem is it gets a little uncomfortable after 2 hours of wearing it. The ear cups are a little small, so, the ears seem to touch the interior, but that is not a big discomfort. If you have snall ears (a pettite lady for instance) it would be perfect. The fact that they fold neetly and fit in the provided pouch makes it easy to stuff in your carry on.I am glad I purchased them and I will take them with me on all long flighs.

I hope you don't get a defective Camera Casio's Warranty Proccess is the worst I have seen

I bought this camera because of the good ratings. I had tried it for a couple of weeks, and it kept taking blurry pictures. I called Casio support, and they had me reset everything and then try it for a couple of more weeks. Of course, by this time, it was too late to return it (I should have followed my instincts and returned it.) I called Casio after several months of blurry pictures (about 80%). First of all, Casio doesn't service the camera, a third part does. Second, you have to pay all expenses to ship the camera to the third party (about $15.00 UPS Ground.) Then the third party sends you a letter a couple of days later telling you they won't repair the camera until you send them $15.00 to mail the camera back to you. On top of this, the newly fixed camera (only 4 months old) only comes with a 90 day warranty. After that, you have to pay all of these fees again. I even buy $9.99 casio watch again.

Love this watch

I have small wrists but do not typically like small watches so I am always on the look out for pretty but girly bigger watches. I love this watch -- it is so pretty, larger so to me it is sportier but still looks like a watch meant for a woman.I have received compliments on this watch from just about everyone I know - and so many people have said what an expensive watch it must be. I surprised them all when I told them it was under $300!!!!If you are in the market for a little bigger of a watch, wanting something that looks great with jeans or shorts but also with your little black dress then this watch is what you have been waiting for!!Enjoy your purchase!!!

PERFECTION

I first heard "Here with me," on the radio about 2 months ago. I was really drawn to the song. So, I called the radio station and they gave me her name. Later that day, I searched many sites on the internet getting a bunch of reviews on the album. I am really sceptical about getting a CD for just one song. But, all I read was good reviews. I purchased the CD and I am just blown away. If you like Sarah Mclachlan and Beth Orton, get this. She has the voice like Sarah, and can write as well as Beth Orton. I play the CD everyday since purchasing it and it is perfect.

An introduction to Waterloo for beginners

I rate this book highly because it does its job, which is an introduction and background to the Battle of Waterloo for people who are new to this part of history and might want a good general background and understanding without going too deeply into the area. Very easy to read with lots of pictures. Don't expect a big heavy tome though, it really is a beginner's guide and a good one too. A very good starting point and easily digested. The only criticism I had was that the illustrations don't include the date, so a picture in the book is often not contemporary at all but painted decades after the Battle. There are many contemporary illustrations but many aren't and it is impossible to tell as dates aren't given. Since often contemporary pictures and illustrations tell us much, I found it bad historical practice that dates weren't given. However, a good starting point for the novice researcher.

Why Do People Belive Such [Stuff]???

You know, its you freaky christain parents that raise the worst children. When you shield your child from things like that it just makes them want to rebell when they grow up. Also, I think this author might be living in La La land. I don't think there's much pride in being a christian. People just need to learn to open their eyes a little and see how stupid they are being. If someone you know has just come out of the broom closet (witch's term for letting everyone know you're Wiccan) and you're thinking about reading this book to learn more, you need to look elsewhere. Try When Someone You Love Is Wiccan: A Guide to Witchcraft and Paganism for Concerned Friends, Nervous Parents, and Curious CO-Workers by Carl McColman.

A portrait of who?

I have to agree with another reviewer, I didn't think it was a radical new direction for biography either... I'm not even done with the book yet and I'm still waiting for Ms. Dillon to begin shifting the focus of her investigations away from herself and Jane Bowles.Right now I'm thinking that perhaps I'd prefer reading The Invisible Spectator by Christopher Sawyer-Laucanno. Maybe that would be a better portrait of Mr. Bowles...

Too complicated for the task

I have used pedometers before and they just show the number of steps. I did not want or need a course in how to program a complicated system for computing many things in order to use the pedometer. It matters not how long my strides are or how much I weigh. All I want to know is how many steps I ordinarily do and then increase them to increase my lung capacity leg and back strength. It builds self esteem and self confidence.I will continue to use my old pedometer and try to program my new one, but the ones I bought for my husband and daughter to encourage them to more physical fitness will lie in a drawer with the instructions because it took too much time and effort to analyze.Please quit trying to make things more digital and complicated when it is only a $12 item and wanted for one thing.Thank youAlice Brown

An arresting performance

This is one of Britten`s starkest scores, not the "fluidity" of Grimes or the sensuality of Venice.But, great music.As this is largely a static plot, no much movement goes on stage.The staging is very restrained, with distinct japanese influences.The singing and acting are very good, so why only 4 stars? ENO gets the full 5, but Kultur, alas... The rransfers are good, but not more. Why in the name of G do they not include subtitles? It`s essential, even for an opera sung in English. So, for the future PLEASE!

Excellent!

Kevin gives us a nice twist with Black Maria.The title is a slang for a police wagon or hearse. This collection is a blues based detective novel written in poems and is actually a screenplay.It takes a very talented writer to pull that off and Kevin has done it well. I read this novel/collection/play straight through. The story is captivating. What do you get when a sexy singer crosses paths with a drunken detective? A plot full of drama, the hunt, the chase and the catch and broken hearts.Bravo to Kevin for this refreshing mix. I've never read anything like it before. Lyrical Brilliance!Reviewed byDawnny
