1	It was pretty good	The movie was cute and odd, a bit slow at times. Overall I thought the movie was pretty good. If I could rate it a 3.5 I would.	positive
1	Beautiful Book, one of the best I've read this year	Other reviewers have written detailed reviews of this wonderful novel but I wanted to add my praise. I fell in along side these characters and shared their joys and pains. Justin Cronin is a great writer and this is a great work. I'm glad I found this gem!	positive
1	Best pail for a low budget family	My mom had 11 children and I was very familiar with the diaper genie. It was good for smell but what I didnt like was having to buy refill bags. Also the long snake that was akward to take out when pail was full and the cutter sometimes didnt work. When I had my first baby we chose the diaper champ because we are a very low budget family and I couldnt see how we could always afford diapers let alone refill bags for the pail. After reading reviews I was satisfied with smell comments. When I purchased it I found that it did smell though mostly only when you opened it. It only smells closed when it is really full. I found emptying it often and spraying lysol each time (also in the empty bag) really makes a difference. Overall it doesnt smell when closed when you follow these simple hygiene steps	positive
1	HOW MUCH DO YOU BENCH?	Boogie Nights is one of those quirky, yet satisfying movies that tend to sit in your DVD collection for a while until you feel the "urge" to watch it. It's like eating a White Castle hamburger. It's not something you'd want to do every day, but when you do, it's heaven.This movie is set in 1977 California, in the age when disco was king, sex was safe, and condoms were for sailors. The entire movie just feels like it was filmed at that point in time. This is one of those movies that people either love or hate. I myself find this to be one of the best movies that came out of the 90's.	positive
1	ANOTHER GREAT BOOK!	Another installment from our delightfull Mr McCauley. Unfortunately, I found that this addition to McCauley's works was not as magical. Somehow he only just fell short of another bestseller. However, if you have read his other books you must read this! If not go out and read some! McCauley has managed to see deeper into our lives than ever before! McCauley has a knack of capturing what we feel and think day in and day out. I'm just waiting for everyone to pick up on his genius! Am I the only one who can see a set of modern day classics?	positive
0	Unable to suspend disbelief	This read like a late book review completed to avoid an "Incomplete" in a compulsory English class; there must have been a deadline from the publisher to keep the advance. I found the Women's Murder Club mysteries entertaining, but this was popular writing for hire -- a reputation for sale to an aspiring co-writer. The plot reminded me of the incredibly weak "Armageddon" movie from 1998 with Bruce Willis, because I was also unable to suspend disbelief for that project; throughout the book, I reacted with "Come On!" Maybe it's time for me to give up on Patterson.	negative
1	OMG!!	I love my pots!! These are the best pieces of cookware that money can buy. Nothing sticks to them and they're incredibly durable. I use one or more of them everyday--for the past few months, and I am glad I bought them every time I use them.	positive
1	Fresh and Peeled	The CD "Thread" from Cletus Kennelly brings fresh, crisp harmony to surprising content of life experiences - whether it is deep love, searing jolts, illuminating insight, storytelling, or soul commentary. The weaving of music and words intertwine the deep reflections of unpeeled realities with a sense of the inclusion and continuity of life, splashed with the juicy spurts of its very being.Guitars, percussions, and vocal backups blend into the fabric in its varying parts with zest, smooth synchronicity, exclamation, and haunting echoes where appropriate.And the echoes will stay with you! Take this one home!	positive
0	It was a bust..literally.	Don't buy this! I bought it for my daughter, who got to use it twice before it burst, sending those little beads everywhere. I can't send it back because I don't have the original packaging or sales invoice, but I thought I'd at least warn others not to waste their money.	negative
1	Finally back...but what might have been!	Good that the unaired episodes of this exceptional, unsurpassed series are finally available (although they were aired in France where the show was a hit). Still a lot is left unresolved in the storyline since the series never got to a full season and thus didn't play out its complete story arc.And in the second season (or beyond), it was planned that Jim Profit would leave the corporate world and go to Washington so that he could create his particular brand of havoc in politics just as he had done during the first season in business. Can you imagine what that would have been like (certainly a series for TODAY!)It is so rewarding when evil at last triumphs...(with the release of this DVD!)	positive
1	inspirational	this trak is good because when your hear it you get some energy and motivation and it makes you think about your life more and your goals. the beat is good because it matches the intensity of the lyrics and the rest of the album is good too so dont buy this, buy the whole soundtrack.	positive
0	Bob Himself Would Cry Foul	At no point in his entire life and career was Bob Marley known to have spoken well of the sub-grade junk gathered together here and treated as if it's remotely fit to listen to, let along spend money on. Marley himself would cry foul that this throat-clearing demo dross-which was meant to stay on the cutting room floor-has been retrieved from the dustbin for money-grubbing purposes. Back weh, vampires!	negative
0	Not impressed.	I received the book within a few days, but that is about the only thing that has gone well with the purchase. When I opened the tattered paper it was wrapped in I noticed that the book was damaged. I tried to contact the seller about returning the book and still haven't received any feedback.	negative
0	Seriously not worth 12 dollers!	This is the most horrible Album of 2004 and I can't belive I bought it!I wanted too see what all the fuss was albout this album so I got it and Im so upset I lost my money's worth.The songs are bad,the toons are awful,and Norah's voice is very tiring.And also there is Spyware on this CD which means if you place this disc in your computer it will mess it up grrrrrrrrr Im so mad so I thought I should give peeps second thoughts before getting such an album!	negative
0	Soft metal is not a good choice for a screwdriver	Given the price, I probably shouldn't be surprised - but these things don't hold up worth a darn. If you're trying to move a very small screw that's being stubborn, be careful - it's easy to damage the tips of these drivers.If you want a cheap set to just have around, just in case, these probably are a decent purchase. But don't expect them to last.	negative
1	Loved the movie!!!	My mom made me watch the movie and I thought it was going to be really boaring. :-) But I really liked it. The music was cool and now I want to buy the soundtrack. I had never really been into the saint francis thing before but after watching the movie I am really inspired by his life. I have a little statue of St. Francis in my room now. Some parts of the movie were a little scary and strange but it's still cool to watch. I recomend this movie to anyone.	positive
1	raw	This is opening it up and exposing the guts. This is seeing how bologna is made, only it is sickening what is happening to our country. Must read.	positive
0	insufficient	The book provides insufficient means for properly practicing the Buteyko method. "Shallow breating" is never defined (how shallow is shallow? is it rapid, too? how do you breathe during "rest"?), so the reader has no way of knowing if they are doing it right.Interestingly enough, the Hale Clinic no longer practices the Buteyko method...	negative
0	Won't Load	After a lengthy installation, I am finally able to start the game. It asks for my resolution and I click the 'Play!' button. Only one problem. It crashes! Not just once but three times in a row. I can't even see how the game plays. I am now performing a full system scan to ensure that it didn't install anything unwanted.	negative
1	Great Trance	Ive been waiting to get the Ferry Corsten-Tisto fusion CD long time. Its a great compilation for true Trance Lovers Fans.	positive
1	LOVE!!	I have two of these- One for inside and one for the patio. I have a 70lb pit bull with joint issues and he loves it!! The only thing I've noticed is that my dog don't like laying on them without covering them with a blanket or towel. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this product!!	positive
0	They should have shot the scriptwriter instead!	A hunter is out one day shooting rabbits, suddenly he discovers a dead man and thinks he must have shot him by mistake. As the story unfolds several village folk come across the body and each has a tale to tell. It was so boring! How can anyone like this lame excuse for a film? Hitchcock or not it just goes nowhere. I had to fight to stay awake. Don't bother, there has to be better films you can spend your time and money on; this is nothing more then dated garbage.	negative
1	Cancer Survivor	I believe strongly that educating yourself about cancer is one of the best ways to prevent it, treat it, and make it less scary. This video taught me a lot. First, it reminded me that we aren't out of the woods yet. Cancer is still deadly, though many people are surviving (myself included). The video talks a great deal about fears of death and the attitude one must take about cancer. Can you be fighting cancer and still be well? I believe you can. I will be adding this video to my library and plan to share it with the college students I teach.	positive
1	Wingnuts are upset by this book	The rants and name calling in the "reviews" posted by the right wing wingnuts shows that Franken has effectively hit his target and damaged it. It is amusing to see these people foam at the mouth and go into convulsions.Clearly this book was not intended to be liked by them.This is an excellent book, both entertaining and enlightening, not only for liberals and moderate centrists, but also for open minded conservatives who are willing to look at the evidence fairly and objectively.	positive
0	College kids drink?	Guess what: college kids drink gallons of beer, take copious amounts of drugs, have sex, and rarely go to class. Unfortunately, I summed the the entire book in that one sentence.If you have graduated from college within the last ten years, you are hardly shocked by what you will read. If you have not graduated from college within the last ten years and are surprised by what you read, you must have your head in the sand.	negative
1	I heart Volcom	I am definitely the coolest kid on the block now that I own my Volcom Creedler Slip On's! Aside from being extremely comfortable, they are so hott and trendy...kinda like skateboarder chic meets sexy! When I'm wearing my Volocom Creedler Slip On's I feel like I could conquer the world!!	positive
1	Good game, especially for a group	This game is pretty fun - I'm surprised at all the negative reviews for it. The point of the game is to fill up your "pie" by getting a question right from each main category. The questions all pertain to the last twenty years. Some of the questions are pretty difficult - really obsurd things. But for the most part, the questions are pretty reasonable. I don't know why the recommended age for this game is 13 and up though. I don't know any 13 year old that would be able to get a quarter of these questions. You definitley have to know your trivia. The literature always seems to be the hardest - at least with everyone that I've ever played with - because the questions range from authors personal lives to comic books to newspapers to romance novels and then some. You have to be pretty brushed up on your current events if you want to win this game, but I think it's still fun. Anytime I've ever played it's been with a group of people and we've always had a blast.	positive
0	Not too inspiring	An easy and interesting read that I thought would have a bigger ending. The message was a good one but I expected a new spin on it. I would recommend it for someone who has not been exposed to the spiritual side of the meaning life but anyone who has read other books of this kind, I would say to take a pass.	negative
1	Ballin' that jack...	The 8 track version of this lived in my player for 3 months back in the '70's! Great production, Great arrangement, Great MUSIC! You don't have to be a Deadhead to enjoy Workingmans Dead. Favorite tune: High Time ...livin' the good liiife. Best tune: Uncle John's Band ...Come hear Uncle John's Band playing to the tide... Coolest tune: New Speedway Boogie ...It's got no signs or dividing lines and very few rule to guide.Jerry we miss ya!!!	positive
0	Mush	You'll need this only if you've ever wondered what Karen Carpenter would sound like singing lyrics as inane as "before you learn to walk/before you learn to rock/you learn to rollerskate." Any number of bands do this kind of thing much better; my advice is to seek out Swan Dive's self-titled album or Beulah's The Coast Is Never Clear. Here the lyrics are mush, the melodies never catch hold and the power pop touches seem tacked on to recycled rhythm tracks. Nothing seems to jell, not even the references to the Free Design.	negative
0	Booker prize short list?	Ali's writing is superb and she can describe place and situation as well as most anyone I've read. However, the novel is dissapointing. The heroine has an empty affair and is less than honest with both her lover and her husband. She allows her family to break up, and her children to lose their father (although she supposedly loves him) without any attempt to try to save things. But since she achieves "independence" in the process, we are unsubtly pushed by the author to approve. In the end, I felt the story promoted selfishness. The character development was also quite weak. It was an interesting read, but unmemorable and hardly worthy of the Booker short list.	negative
1	THE BEST OF THE SMACKDOWN GAMES	IN THIS ONE, THERE IS NO HOGAN, BUT AT LEAST THE OLD UNDERTAKER IS AVAILABLE AS PART OF THE HIDDEN LEGENDS THAT THE WWE PUT INTO THIS GAME. THIS IS THE BEST OF THE SMACKDOWN GAMES SO FAR. AND IN THIS GAME, YOU CAN PLAY THROUGH THE BEST SEASON MODE EVER PUT INTO A SMACKDOWN GAME. BUT, ONLY 1 MAJOR PROBLEM, YOU ONLY GET TO PLAY 1 YEAR AND THEN THE SEASON'S OVER. BUT IT'S WORTH IT TO ACCESS LEGENDS LIKE JIMMY SNUKA, SGT. SLAUGHTER, THE IRON SHIEK, NIKOLAI VOLKOFF, AND MORE. GET THIS GAME NOW!!!!	positive
1	sometimes unbelievable, but never predictable	This book will keep you turning the pages as her life unfolds and although entertaining, it will make you gasp in horror at some of the "adventures". Great book.	positive
0	slightly frozen comeback of Sade	After listening this album I am a bit disappointed by the come-back of Sade. Especially the music doesn't approach the intimite atmosphere and smoothness from earlier albums from both Sade and Sweetback. This album comes to me like a pretty cold winter...	negative
1	All I needed for the job.	This tool is all of the different types of tools I need for security screws.	positive
1	Top Gun Rocks!!!	I showed my kids this movie since they had never seen it and they loved it. I grew up with this movie when I was in high school and almost made me join.	positive
0	Get the non-wireless model instead	The wireless remote became defective almost immediately. I contacted Taylor and they said the wireless version was discontinued. They very nicely sent me the non-wireless version for free. They also included an instant-read thermometer.Overall, I'm pleased with Taylor as a compnay.	negative
0	Beware! Not as expected...	I have the set pictured. I love it and wanted one as a gift for my daughter. The set I received is not in the box pictured. It came packaged in plastic so I cannot even open it to look at it. All of the parts in my set are metal - except for the "plunger" disk. This one has a metal handle and possibly a metal tube. (I don't know because I can't open it and still give it as a gift or return it.) I am concerned that the plastic screw parts on this new set will not last. (I have not had good luck with plastic parts keeping their threads.) I probably would have not purchased this had I known it was mostly plastic. Alas, it was the only tube decorator that I could find.	negative
0	NOT COOL	Why in the world would you need this thing anyway? Why not just use your GBA XP instead! I mean, it's portable and you don't have to kick someone off the tv to use it! It's a waste of money. If you're not traveling, just play it on your GBA! Buy a GBA XP, but definitely not this! Well, it was a good idea of theirs, but that isn't enough to make me give 5 stars.	negative
1	Coloring Book	I haven't had time to start coloring in this yet, but I love the pictures and am looking forward to the challenge. This has been a hobby of mine for a long time.	positive
0	Nothing works here...	How on earth did this "movie" get made? There goes 2 hours of my life I cannot get back. Nothing about this movie makes any sense. But I guess todays' movie audiences are looking for action, not substance!	negative
1	Among the Best of Tolkien - Inspired Progressive Rock	Mostly Autumn's sound falls somewhere between Celtic Folk and classic Pink Floyd.This album consists of both new material and Tolkien-related tracks from earlier Mostly Autumn albums. Most songs exhibit the band's excellent musicianship, with perhaps the single exception being "Caradhras the Cruel" which suffers from an unfortunate vocal track meant to be the voice of the Mountian.The best tracks on this album include "Journey's Thought", which follows the musings of Frodo while on his quest, and "Lothlorien", which truly captures the spirit of that beautiful, timeless place.The band's best albums are "The Last Bright Light" and "The Spirit of Autumn Past", which get 5 stars each.	positive

0	Not worth the money!	I own over 750 karaoke songs and the three karaoke "Chartbuster 70`s karaoke disk" are the worst I have heard. The backround music is very poor as though they were copied many times. I have a very good Player and most all my disk play and sound very well so it is not my Machine. These disk are awful.I bought a Big & Rich/ Toby Keith Karaoke at Amazon and it plays great.	negative
1	Best Product for MAX 3.0 on the Market	Lots of projects, practical information, not just a rewrite of the manual. Lots of free models, _EASY_ to install, runs great on my machine and doesn't take up any space on my hard disk. And __ great support ___. I bought this publisher's VIZ CD too. Loved it.	positive
0	Lovely tone, but there's nothing upstairs	Church has a lovely voice and might eventually develop into a good singer. Currently, she sings everything as if she were singing phonetically in a language she does not understand. Her phrasing is nonexistent. Her voice is soulless and dull. (...) I have a hard time believing any American music lover would waste their money on this talented but shallow child. Audra McDonald's "How Glory Goes" shows what an actual singer can do with this sort of material. Buy it instead.	negative
0	Disappointing, At Best	I just finished reading this book and I'm sorry I spent moneyon it. First, the ENTIRE murder mystery "plot" takes place inONE paragraph on the last page of the book. Give me a break!There are lots of mistakes about timing and character situationswhich don't make sense and are jarring to the reader. The restof the book can best be described as a romantic comedy. Evenmore unbelievable is the ending -- which I cannot reveal, butwhich I can say is truly incredulous to even the most tolerantof readers, and just too convenient for the heroine. As far asplot and quality of writing, the book's puppy could have done abetter job! Only plus, the character talks like a female SamSpade -- easy to read and humorous at times, but also loaded withlots of Valley Girl phrases (do I really care what kind ofdesigner shoes Bob's wife wears?). I'm hard pressed to givethis one even two stars.	negative
0	Stability is totally unpredictable	I have over a year of frustrating experience with this product running under WinME. The thing constantly locks up. The only way I can get it to be even slightly stable is to reboot between reading cards. Otherwise the system locks up whenever going from one card to the next. Horrible drivers. My experience with it on Win2000 was too short to be sure, but having to live with this product has been bad enough. I hardly use it now, but I'm disappointed to see that I'll likely have to throw it away when I go to WinXP. No matter, it's barely worked anyway.	negative
0	Not a great workout and poorly choreographed	This DVD was just okay for me. I really wanted to like it and like the instructor and it is fun to an extent. Its just that you dont get a great work out and her "sisters" were very awkward doing the moves. I can say it is a nice break when you want something different but not exactly what i was hoping for. Some of the commentary was cheesy and sounded really fake. She is trying to sound sexy and excited about the dance steps but its just did not seem genuine. My husband was in the background saying how irritating the commentary was,just not a good job on that. Some of the moves were cute and for the price i paid on Amazon, cant complain.	negative
1	Easier to understand the workout	I've read a few of the SEAL workout books that are out and I think this one does the best job of laying out a simple fitness plan for the average Joe non-SEAL. Some of the other books that deal with pyramids, levels and regimens are not adaptable to the average guy in a gym. Flach's book is brief, concise, describes the excercises and how to perform them pretty easily. What I like best is the chapter on the actual fitness plan. Where other books describe the exercises and leave you wondering, "What do I do now???", this book lets you determine & categorize your ability level-- then outlines a M,T,W,Th,F,S schedule you can easily follow. It's good at letting you know what to do next... unlike some others that outline the Navy's PT regimen and make you spend time deciphering it into a plan you can bring to the gym.	positive
0	Another Word processor novel.	Is anybody tired of the "Jordan/Goodkind" race yet? Which author will be the first to blink and say I have milked this enough?. I think Mr. Goodkind has blinked. "The Sword of Truth" could have been included as a side episode in any one of the preceeding titles. Unless you desire to maintain the continuity of the series on your bookshelf; wait to borrow this book from such a person and then read it if there is absolutely nothing else for you to read. Robert Jordan must have called Goodkind and provided pointers in how to write next to nothing under a grand title.	negative
0	Aveeno Active Naturals Stress Relief Moisturing Lotion, 12 oz	I don't like it but it was a gift for someone who really likes this product. I would not buy buy it for myself	negative
0	its tiny!	i was expecting the full book, not the miniature edition. note: this is an abridged, pocket size version of the book.	negative
0	Tom Savage should sue	This is possibly the worst book to movie transition I have ever seen. Whereas the book was a five star thriller, the movie is just another cheap slasher film with absolutely nothing to redeem it from the crap that it is. I have been disappointed many times by movies made from books I have read, but never on this grand a scale. Tom Savage has written only a handful of books, but they are all edge-of-your-seat thrillers, so I was very excited to hear "Valentine" was being made into a movie. And if it had been made properly it would have been good. Instead, a horrible script in the hands of a truly terrible director turned this masterpiece into a shameful mess. I urge everyone who saw this movie and hated it as much as I did to read the book. It is nothing like the movie. In fact I recently reread the book and realized, with the exception of the title, the book is an entirely different story. If you have not seen the movie, don't waste your time, read the book instead.	negative
1	Naruto Uncut Box Set: Season Two, Vol. 1	The DvD was transported without incident. It proved playable on our current DvD player and was very entertaining to view.	positive
0	Dissapointment is an understatement	I got this game as a birthday, and was very excited to try it out. Needless to say I played the game for nearly a week before giving up completely.The idea behind it is great. An MMORPG that doesn't revolve around killing endless amounts of rats and pigs to level up. It promoted party-based adventuring to the extreme. The modules/quests were self-contained. Everything seems just great.But the execution for this game is extremely poor. The quests just aren't much fun. The combat system is ok. The way leveling is done doesn't make much sense, especially for a game based on D&D.;I dunno, I found this game extremely boring (even for an MMORPG). This game was my second time trying games in the MMORPG genre, and it'll definitely be my last...Don't waste your money.	negative
1	excellant	i was a big fan of this series when it ran on the history channell -it is history come alivei reccomend this video series to anyone -each episode lasts 22mins and you will learn alot about the battles of long ago no boring text booksget the view the generals wish they had	positive
0	Not for vamp fans	If you've read the series thus far, you may be disappointed by this book.Anita, "VAMPIRE HUNTER" leaves St. Louis to help her mercenary friend, Edward. We learn too much about Edward's real life. "Death" was better as a mysterious character. His real life is even sad and disappointing.If you want interaction with regular characters such as Jean Claude and Richard, skip this one.*WARNING: Child torture, abuse and molestation are included.	negative
1	Worth getting for the Interviews	I remember buying this way back when Storm Front was first released. I live in Australia, and Storm Front was my first introduction to Billy Joel's music, and like everyone else I was completely blown away. The interviews are also good, especially the first one from the mid-eighties. There's one part where he shows how he came up with the lyrics to the song "Innocent Man" that has to be heard to be believed. I think that, along with John Farnham, Billy Joel is one of my favourite musical raconteur's. Intelligent, literate, as well as being very witty when he needs to be.Still...now that the four-disc box set has been released, there's probably not much point in buying this edition unless you're a completist. But it doesn't take away from the fact that Billy Joel's music is brilliant. Speaking as an Australian, he's only one of two musicans who (to me) truly represent all that's good about America, the other being Bruce Springsteen.	positive
0	Feliway electric diffuser (48 ml)	I purchased this for my skittish cat. She didn't really respond to it. My big problem with this product is that it is supposed to last a month, and it was empty in 2 weeks. I was very disappointed, since I really don't think my cat had a chance to respond to it. I won't purchase it again. It's pretty pricey and it didn't last.	negative
1	Artsy	The film was a little slow but it had good shots. The film is about how some people deal with impending doom.	positive
0	Crocs	If you get the length you need, then they are way too wide - like boats and way too big for children to keep on their feet.	negative
0	AVOID THIS GAME LIKE THE PLAGE	Single player doesn't work (officialy posted - on Jowood's tech forums), And multiplayer disconnects you after 10-15 mins. The vehicle control system is buggy and untested, and the animation (or lack of it is apparent in every frame), which isn't very fast either.Couple this with very long loading times indeed, and high the probability of having to shell out for ANOTHER upgrade just to play this title, leaves you with this advice:-AVOID THIS GAME LIKE THE PLAGEBuy Operation Flashpoint/Battlefield 1942 if you want proper examples of how a tactical FPS should be produced.Both titles can be picked up on this site for much less than this poor excuse of a game.	negative
1	"Are We There Yet?"	WOW,WOW,WOW!! When I was a child, like most, I expect, I would bug my father on long car trips,"Are we there yet? Are we there yet?" All I wanted to do was to get to the end. To make my final destination in as few minutes as possible. Coben's "The Innocent," is just the opposite. I didn't want it to end. It was such a good book that when it ended I felt deprived of what came next in the character's lives. As with most books by Harlan Coben, this has a lot of twists, turns and goes places we just don't wish to go. The characters are so well developed that you fee part of the family and hurt for their tragedies. This is one good book, baby. Give it a shot. Ya won't be AT ALL disappointed	positive
0	Not Rewarding	Not much of a book. Could be a research paper from which a Hoover biographer might lift anecdotes and background material. Unless the reader is an avid fish chaser much of this chronicle cannot be appreciated.	negative
0	quiet. then loud.	This recording takes the dynamics to the point where some passages are barely audible and you have to strain to hear them and then as you're straining and your ears are completely open and unprotected you get hit with the frying pan. It's like being abused with music. An anxiety inducing recording. Tried listening to it numerous times, now I'm either donating it to the library or perhaps simply throwing it as far away from my person as I can without damaging my rotator cuff.	negative
1	Fashions of the Thirties	This book has wonderful pen and ink drawings of womens, mens, children and accessories fashions. A great book for fashion drawing students as well as giving a good feel for that era.	positive
1	Awesome! BUT	Should have been released as a 2 cd set with the first cd remastered and remixed as it was originaly released and the 2nd cd containing this "naked" version along with some previously unreleased tracks from the Let it be sessions. A missed opportunity E.M.I. In fact I would go so far to say the whole catalogue should be rereleased as 2 cd sets with the originals being remastered and the second cd being remastered and remixed for a more up-to-date stereo sound.	positive
1	A saxman like this can converse	My title comes from the second track on this luxuriously smooth-as-silk sax album by Kim Waters. That track, "A Love Like This", is a 4:37 piece of original soprano sax playing that is so lush that Kim has made it my favorite of the entire album. The depth of feeling that Kim transmits through his playing of soprano sax really gets the listener in a groove you never want to end.The whole point to the album is summed up in the title track "From The Heart" as Kim takes you along on a musical conversation that teaches the art of listening. This is a lesson we all can learn by hearing and re-hearing the beguiling "Royal Groove."While playing this CD you get drawn in to another world with romantic mood music that will put you in a healing frame of mind after a long day of whatever.	positive
0	Terrible Movie... First One Was Great	I highly recommend the first of these, but the 2nd was a disappointment. It was too much of the same thing and seemed forced.	negative
1	Perfect For Anyone!	This book has beautiful illustrations! The story itselfs is very simple, which makes it even better. I gave it as a gift to my 11 year-old niece.

1	Everything One Could Ask of a Pitcher...	This is a good item. Its shape conserves space in the refrigerator, and it is made from good quality glass. I have noticed others complaining about the lid, but for me it works perfectly, even after being washed in the dishwasher. I wish the lid was not made from plastic, or at least certified BPA free. However, I searched extensively for a lidded pitcher that was totally plastic-free, and I was never able to find one. To work the lid, hold the outer ring in place with one hand and twist the inner ring with the other hand to tighten or loosen the lid. I bought two of these pitchers, and they are the perfect size to store homemade juice or soy/rice/nut milks. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a glass pitcher.	positive

0	A disappointing hodgepodge	This book struck me as hastily thought out and written, with no love or energy expended on it.The grand concept is not particularly interesting, and the bits and pieces stuck together to flesh out the concept are hackneyed.I found it slow going and confusing, and not at all worth the time or effort.Not recommended.	negative

0	Very Flawed, Needs true research	When the author tells you saturated fat is bad and dairy fat is bad then you know that they have not done any real research. If you want to know the truth seek it out and read books like "Deep Nutrition" or "Real Food".If its real and it lives in real conditions and not on a factory farm then it is good for you. That means grass fed beef, pastured pork, farm raised chicken and yes even lard, butter and beef tallow is not bad for you and would be preferred to anything unnatural and processed. For those in search of the truth do research on the Weston A. Price website.	negative
0	Disappointment	I bought this walker because it looked nice and sturdy for my 11-month-old, who cannot wait to walk on his own. He rarely uses it as a walker though. He's more interested in pulling the doors off the front of it, and on more than one occasion has used it as a climbing tool. Once he even fell and split his lip open. The doors on this thing should be attatched better, and barring that, the toy should be recalled.	negative
1	Excellent Read	The Darkest Dawn is an excellent read. Typical of Tom Goodrich's style, the book puts you "in the moment" with the characters and the characters truly come to life. I just finished reading Team of Rivals by Doris Goodwin, Manhunt by James Swanson and Darkest Dawn by Goodrich. They are all unique and excellent contributions to Lincoln scholarship. Darkest Dawn captures the response to Lincoln's death like no other work I've read. You see how incredibly polarizing the event was and how its timing contributed to incredible anger, anxiety and outrage by both north and south. Top Notch!	positive
0	Great fit, poor quality	I had great usage of Mechanix gloves before, so I was looking forward to this new type; unfortunately, in less than 2 weeks of very light usage (carrying items and such) the plastic overlay is already coming off.

1	Very enjoyable story!	What a wonderful reading experience! This was a great second story in Ms McDaniel's Ballad trilogy.

And quite expertly the third and final story is introduced.....I am definitely anxious for it's release in the summer of 2001.	positive
0	Bought Item for my 13 year old granddaughter for Christmas	I was so excited waiting for this notebook to come. My excitement turned to frustration and dismay when I received it and found that it was not as the listing stated. First starters, the harddrive is 5.58GB, not 12GB. The difference in size is a big issue. The body has a crack in it and there is a hole on the side like a piece of it was removed. None of this was listed in the description when I purchased it. The "hole and crack" makes it impossible for me to give to anyone. If there is anything else wrong with it, I don't know because I put it back in the box. The stated issues were enough for me.Dell Latitude CPX Notebook (650-MHz Pentium III, 128 MB RAM, 12 GB hard drive)	negative

0	Breaks easily	The bad: I've broken two of these already (with a Garmin GPSMAP 60Csx, but I doubt that matters)...not by any harsh use, but just by bending over. They are not very sturdy. They break in exactly the same way, the track cracks just above where the button sits. Once this happens, the GPS can pop out easily without you even knowing it. They really should be made stronger.The good: They work great (until they break). Very quick to attach/detach GPS.I'm considering ordering a Carabiner Button Clip (Garmin 010-10481-00) as an alternative, but I have not tried that product.	negative

1	Not big on suspense	Although I didn't find this book that suspenseful, I did enjoy the story. I really enjoy Ms. McCrumb's writing, and the way she introduces a bit of the supernatural in her stories with her wonderful Nora Bonesteel. I also love the setting high in the Appalachian mountains. It sounds like beautiful country. This is a book that depicts the way small family farms are disappearing throughout North America. It's about a very old mystery, and a modern-day tragedy. It's also about a family of four boys who learn to rediscover themselves when they have to return home to their ailing father. The story is bittersweet, and the legends are wonderful.	positive

0	California has spoken	This is a deceptive piece of work. Angry dissenters from Church doctrine attempt to show that the Church has reversed itself on key moral issues, but the methods used fall far below the minimum for theological scholarship. Texts are cited out of context, counter-texts are suppressed, tendentious interpretations are offered which would make the editors of The Wanderer blush.This is pure venom disguised as a theological argument.If you want the real story of what the Catholic Church teaches, read the Catechism of the Catholic Church. For a serious exploration of how Church doctrine evolves, dust off your Newman.	negative

0	Rehash	At first I couldn't wait to get my hands on this book. Reading the many reviews on various martial arts forums, I was anticipating this information like never before. After opening the book and reading through the many "accolades" of the author, I started thinking that perhaps it was written in order to congratulate himself. I found nothing new in terms of strength training principles, other than a few references to indian club training that any earnest internet researcher can readily found out. This book was written to appear like it contained new information, but a simple internet search will give the seeker more clear cut information without the hype.	negative
1	A Good Look at Breakfast Foods	This book is old but not archaic. The reader is taken directly into various foods that are used for breakfast, which was a pleasant surprise. I expected to hear about the history of breakfast or even see recipes. However, you're shown how fruits can be used, what fruits are ideal for breakfast, how to prepare them, etc.Some ingredients won't match what's on the market today, but if you want a fresh look at preparing breakfast or brunch items, Breakfast Dainties is a great help. I really enjoyed the brevity and clarity of the writing. Easy to read, delightful to use.	positive

Best pail for a low budget family

My mom had 11 children and I was very familiar with the diaper genie. It was good for smell but what I didnt like was having to buy refill bags. Also the long snake that was akward to take out when pail was full and the cutter sometimes didnt work. When I had my first baby we chose the diaper champ because we are a very low budget family and I couldnt see how we could always afford diapers let alone refill bags for the pail. After reading reviews I was satisfied with smell comments. When I purchased it I found that it did smell though mostly only when you opened it. It only smells closed when it is really full. I found emptying it often and spraying lysol each time (also in the empty bag) really makes a difference. Overall it doesnt smell when closed when you follow these simple hygiene steps

HOW MUCH DO YOU BENCH?

Boogie Nights is one of those quirky, yet satisfying movies that tend to sit in your DVD collection for a while until you feel the "urge" to watch it. It's like eating a White Castle hamburger. It's not something you'd want to do every day, but when you do, it's heaven.This movie is set in 1977 California, in the age when disco was king, sex was safe, and condoms were for sailors. The entire movie just feels like it was filmed at that point in time. This is one of those movies that people either love or hate. I myself find this to be one of the best movies that came out of the 90's.

ANOTHER GREAT BOOK!

Another installment from our delightfull Mr McCauley. Unfortunately, I found that this addition to McCauley's works was not as magical. Somehow he only just fell short of another bestseller. However, if you have read his other books you must read this! If not go out and read some! McCauley has managed to see deeper into our lives than ever before! McCauley has a knack of capturing what we feel and think day in and day out. I'm just waiting for everyone to pick up on his genius! Am I the only one who can see a set of modern day classics?

Unable to suspend disbelief

This read like a late book review completed to avoid an "Incomplete" in a compulsory English class; there must have been a deadline from the publisher to keep the advance. I found the Women's Murder Club mysteries entertaining, but this was popular writing for hire -- a reputation for sale to an aspiring co-writer. The plot reminded me of the incredibly weak "Armageddon" movie from 1998 with Bruce Willis, because I was also unable to suspend disbelief for that project; throughout the book, I reacted with "Come On!" Maybe it's time for me to give up on Patterson.

Fresh and Peeled

The CD "Thread" from Cletus Kennelly brings fresh, crisp harmony to surprising content of life experiences - whether it is deep love, searing jolts, illuminating insight, storytelling, or soul commentary. The weaving of music and words intertwine the deep reflections of unpeeled realities with a sense of the inclusion and continuity of life, splashed with the juicy spurts of its very being.Guitars, percussions, and vocal backups blend into the fabric in its varying parts with zest, smooth synchronicity, exclamation, and haunting echoes where appropriate.And the echoes will stay with you! Take this one home!

Don't buy this! I bought it for my daughter, who got to use it *twice* before it burst, sending those little beads everywhere. I can't send it back because I don't have the original packaging or sales invoice, but I thought I'd at least warn others not to waste their money.

Finally back...but what might have been!

Good that the unaired episodes of this exceptional, unsurpassed series are finally available (although they were aired in France where the show was a hit). Still a lot is left unresolved in the storyline since the series never got to a full season and thus didn't play out its complete story arc.And in the second season (or beyond), it was planned that Jim Profit would leave the corporate world and go to Washington so that he could create his particular brand of havoc in politics just as he had done during the first season in business. Can you imagine what that would have been like (certainly a series for TODAY!)It is so rewarding when evil at last triumphs...(with the release of this DVD!)

Soft metal is not a good choice for a screwdriver

Given the price, I probably shouldn't be surprised - but these things don't hold up worth a darn. If you're trying to move a very small screw that's being stubborn, be careful - it's easy to damage the tips of these drivers.If you want a cheap set to just have around, just in case, these probably are a decent purchase. But don't expect them to last.

My mom made me watch the movie and I thought it was going to be really boaring. :-) But I really liked it. The music was cool and now I want to buy the soundtrack. I had never really been into the saint francis thing before but after watching the movie I am really inspired by his life. I have a little statue of St. Francis in my room now. Some parts of the movie were a little scary and strange but it's still cool to watch. I recomend this movie to anyone.

The book provides insufficient means for properly practicing the Buteyko method.

They should have shot the scriptwriter instead!

A hunter is out one day shooting rabbits, suddenly he discovers a dead man and thinks he must have shot him by mistake. As the story unfolds several village folk come across the body and each has a tale to tell. It was so boring! How can anyone like this lame excuse for a film? Hitchcock or not it just goes nowhere. I had to fight to stay awake. Don't bother, there has to be better films you can spend your time and money on; this is nothing more then dated garbage.

Cancer Survivor

I believe strongly that educating yourself about cancer is one of the best ways to prevent it, treat it, and make it less scary. This video taught me a lot. First, it reminded me that we aren't out of the woods yet. Cancer is still deadly, though many people are surviving (myself included). The video talks a great deal about fears of death and the attitude one must take about cancer. Can you be fighting cancer and still be well? I believe you can. I will be adding this video to my library and plan to share it with the college students I teach.

Wingnuts are upset by this book

The rants and name calling in the "reviews" posted by the right wing wingnuts shows that Franken has effectively hit his target and damaged it. It is amusing to see these people foam at the mouth and go into convulsions.Clearly this book was not intended to be liked by them.This is an excellent book, both entertaining and enlightening, not only for liberals and moderate centrists, but also for open minded conservatives who are willing to look at the evidence fairly and objectively.

College kids drink?

Guess what: college kids drink gallons of beer, take copious amounts of drugs, have sex, and rarely go to class. Unfortunately, I summed the the entire book in that one sentence.If you have graduated from college within the last ten years, you are hardly shocked by what you will read. If you have not graduated from college within the last ten years and are surprised by what you read, you must have your head in the sand.

Good game, especially for a group

This game is pretty fun - I'm surprised at all the negative reviews for it. The point of the game is to fill up your "pie" by getting a question right from each main category. The questions all pertain to the last twenty years. Some of the questions are pretty difficult - really obsurd things. But for the most part, the questions are pretty reasonable. I don't know why the recommended age for this game is 13 and up though. I don't know any 13 year old that would be able to get a quarter of these questions. You definitley have to know your trivia. The literature always seems to be the hardest - at least with everyone that I've ever played with - because the questions range from authors personal lives to comic books to newspapers to romance novels and then some. You have to be pretty brushed up on your current events if you want to win this game, but I think it's still fun. Anytime I've ever played it's been with a group of people and we've always had a blast.

Not too inspiring

An easy and interesting read that I thought would have a bigger ending. The message was a good one but I expected a new spin on it.

Mush

You'll need this only if you've ever wondered what Karen Carpenter would sound like singing lyrics as inane as "before you learn to walk/before you learn to rock/you learn to rollerskate." Any number of bands do this kind of thing much better; my advice is to seek out Swan Dive's self-titled album or Beulah's The Coast Is Never Clear. Here the lyrics are mush, the melodies never catch hold and the power pop touches seem tacked on to recycled rhythm tracks. Nothing seems to jell, not even the references to the Free Design.

Booker prize short list?

Ali's writing is superb and she can describe place and situation as well as most anyone I've read. However, the novel is dissapointing. The heroine has an empty affair and is less than honest with both her lover and her husband. She allows her family to break up, and her children to lose their father (although she supposedly loves him) without any attempt to try to save things. But since she achieves "independence" in the process, we are unsubtly pushed by the author to approve. In the end, I felt the story promoted selfishness. The character development was also quite weak. It was an interesting read, but unmemorable and hardly worthy of the Booker short list.

Beware! Not as expected...

I have the set pictured. I love it and wanted one as a gift for my daughter. The set I received is not in the box pictured. It came packaged in plastic so I cannot even open it to look at it. All of the parts in my set are metal - except for the "plunger" disk. This one has a metal handle and possibly a metal tube. (I don't know because I can't open it and still give it as a gift or return it.) I am concerned that the plastic screw parts on this new set will not last. (I have not had good luck with plastic parts keeping their threads.) I probably would have not purchased this had I known it was mostly plastic. Alas, it was the only tube decorator that I could find.

Among the Best of Tolkien - Inspired Progressive Rock

Mostly Autumn's sound falls somewhere between Celtic Folk and classic Pink Floyd.This album consists of both new material and Tolkien-related tracks from earlier Mostly Autumn albums. Most songs exhibit the band's excellent musicianship, with perhaps the single exception being "Caradhras the Cruel" which suffers from an unfortunate vocal track meant to be the voice of the Mountian.The best tracks on this album include "Journey's Thought", which follows the musings of Frodo while on his quest, and "Lothlorien", which truly captures the spirit of that beautiful, timeless place.The band's best albums are "The Last Bright Light" and "The Spirit of Autumn Past", which get 5 stars each.

Lovely tone, but there's nothing upstairs

Church has a lovely voice and might eventually develop into a good singer. Currently, she sings everything as if she were singing phonetically in a language she does not understand. Her phrasing is nonexistent. Her voice is soulless and dull. (...) I have a hard time believing any American music lover would waste their money on this talented but shallow child. Audra McDonald's "How Glory Goes" shows what an actual singer can do with this sort of material. Buy it instead.

Disappointing, At Best

I just finished reading this book and I'm sorry I spent moneyon it. First, the ENTIRE murder mystery "plot" takes place inONE paragraph on the last page of the book. Give me a break!There are lots of mistakes about timing and character situationswhich don't make sense and are jarring to the reader. The restof the book can best be described as a romantic comedy. Evenmore unbelievable is the ending -- which I cannot reveal, butwhich I can say is truly incredulous to even the most tolerantof readers, and just too convenient for the heroine. As far asplot and quality of writing, the book's puppy could have done abetter job! Only plus, the character talks like a female SamSpade -- easy to read and humorous at times, but also loaded withlots of Valley Girl phrases (do I really care what kind ofdesigner shoes Bob's wife wears?). I'm hard pressed to givethis one even two stars.

Stability is totally unpredictable

I have over a year of frustrating experience with this product running under WinME. The thing constantly locks up. The only way I can get it to be even slightly stable is to reboot between reading cards. Otherwise the system locks up whenever going from one card to the next. Horrible drivers. My experience with it on Win2000 was too short to be sure, but having to live with this product has been bad enough. I hardly use it now, but I'm disappointed to see that I'll likely have to throw it away when I go to WinXP. No matter, it's barely worked anyway.

Not a great workout and poorly choreographed

This DVD was just okay for me. I really wanted to like it and like the instructor and it is fun to an extent. Its just that you dont get a great work out and her "sisters" were very awkward doing the moves. I can say it is a nice break when you want something different but not exactly what i was hoping for. Some of the commentary was cheesy and sounded really fake. She is trying to sound sexy and excited about the dance steps but its just did not seem genuine. My husband was in the background saying how irritating the commentary was,just not a good job on that. Some of the moves were cute and for the price i paid on Amazon, cant complain.

Easier to understand the workout

I've read a few of the SEAL workout books that are out and I think this one does the best job of laying out a simple fitness plan for the average Joe non-SEAL. Some of the other books that deal with pyramids, levels and regimens are not adaptable to the average guy in a gym. Flach's book is brief, concise, describes the excercises and how to perform them pretty easily. What I like best is the chapter on the actual fitness plan. Where other books describe the exercises and leave you wondering, "What do I do now???", this book lets you determine & categorize your ability level-- then outlines a M,T,W,Th,F,S schedule you can easily follow. It's good at letting you know what to do next... unlike some others that outline the Navy's PT regimen and make you spend time deciphering it into a plan you can bring to the gym.

Another Word processor novel.

Is anybody tired of the "Jordan/Goodkind" race yet? Which author will be the first to blink and say I have milked this enough?. I think Mr. Goodkind has blinked. "The Sword of Truth" could have been included as a side episode in any one of the preceeding titles. Unless you desire to maintain the continuity of the series on your bookshelf; wait to borrow this book from such a person and then read it if there is absolutely nothing else for you to read. Robert Jordan must have called Goodkind and provided pointers in how to write next to nothing under a grand title.

Tom Savage should sue

This is possibly the worst book to movie transition I have ever seen. Whereas the book was a five star thriller, the movie is just another cheap slasher film with absolutely nothing to redeem it from the crap that it is. I have been disappointed many times by movies made from books I have read, but never on this grand a scale. Tom Savage has written only a handful of books, but they are all edge-of-your-seat thrillers, so I was very excited to hear "Valentine" was being made into a movie. And if it had been made properly it would have been good. Instead, a horrible script in the hands of a truly terrible director turned this masterpiece into a shameful mess. I urge everyone who saw this movie and hated it as much as I did to read the book. It is nothing like the movie. In fact I recently reread the book and realized, with the exception of the title, the book is an entirely different story. If you have not seen the movie, don't waste your time, read the book instead.

Dissapointment is an understatement

I got this game as a birthday, and was very excited to try it out. Needless to say I played the game for nearly a week before giving up completely.The idea behind it is great. An MMORPG that doesn't revolve around killing endless amounts of rats and pigs to level up. It promoted party-based adventuring to the extreme. The modules/quests were self-contained. Everything seems just great.But the execution for this game is extremely poor. The quests just aren't much fun. The combat system is ok. The way leveling is done doesn't make much sense, especially for a game based on D&D.;I dunno, I found this game extremely boring (even for an MMORPG). This game was my second time trying games in the MMORPG genre, and it'll definitely be my last...Don't waste your money.

Not for vamp fans

If you've read the series thus far, you may be disappointed by this book.Anita, "VAMPIRE HUNTER" leaves St. Louis to help her mercenary friend, Edward. We learn too much about Edward's real life. "Death" was better as a mysterious character. His real life is even sad and disappointing.If you want interaction with regular characters such as Jean Claude and Richard, skip this one.*WARNING: Child torture, abuse and molestation are included.

Worth getting for the Interviews

I remember buying this way back when Storm Front was first released. I live in Australia, and Storm Front was my first introduction to Billy Joel's music, and like everyone else I was completely blown away. The interviews are also good, especially the first one from the mid-eighties. There's one part where he shows how he came up with the lyrics to the song "Innocent Man" that has to be heard to be believed. I think that, along with John Farnham, Billy Joel is one of my favourite musical raconteur's. Intelligent, literate, as well as being very witty when he needs to be.Still...now that the four-disc box set has been released, there's probably not much point in buying this edition unless you're a completist. But it doesn't take away from the fact that Billy Joel's music is brilliant. Speaking as an Australian, he's only one of two musicans who (to me) truly represent all that's good about America, the other being Bruce Springsteen.

Feliway electric diffuser (48 ml)

I purchased this for my skittish cat. She didn't really respond to it. My big problem with this product is that it is supposed to last a month, and it was empty in 2 weeks. I was very disappointed, since I really don't think my cat had a chance to respond to it. I won't purchase it again. It's pretty pricey and it didn't last.

AVOID THIS GAME LIKE THE PLAGE

Single player doesn't work (officialy posted - on Jowood's tech forums), And multiplayer disconnects you after 10-15 mins. The vehicle control system is buggy and untested, and the animation (or lack of it is apparent in every frame), which isn't very fast either.Couple this with very long loading times indeed, and high the probability of having to shell out for ANOTHER upgrade just to play this title, leaves you with this advice:-AVOID THIS GAME LIKE THE PLAGEBuy Operation Flashpoint/Battlefield 1942 if you want proper examples of how a tactical FPS should be produced.Both titles can be picked up on this site for much less than this poor excuse of a game.

"Are We There Yet?"

WOW,WOW,WOW!! When I was a child, like most, I expect, I would bug my father on long car trips,"Are we there yet? Are we there yet?" All I wanted to do was to get to the end. To make my final destination in as few minutes as possible. Coben's "The Innocent," is just the opposite. I didn't want it to end. It was such a good book that when it ended I felt deprived of what came next in the character's lives. As with most books by Harlan Coben, this has a lot of twists, turns and goes places we just don't wish to go. The characters are so well developed that you fee part of the family and hurt for their tragedies. This is one good book, baby. Give it a shot. Ya won't be AT ALL disappointed

quiet. then loud.

This recording takes the dynamics to the point where some passages are barely audible and you have to strain to hear them and then as you're straining and your ears are completely open and unprotected you get hit with the frying pan. It's like being abused with music. An anxiety inducing recording. Tried listening to it numerous times, now I'm either donating it to the library or perhaps simply throwing it as far away from my person as I can without damaging my rotator cuff.

Awesome! BUT

Should have been released as a 2 cd set with the first cd remastered and remixed as it was originaly released and the 2nd cd containing this "naked" version along with some previously unreleased tracks from the Let it be sessions. A missed opportunity E.M.I. In fact I would go so far to say the whole catalogue should be rereleased as 2 cd sets with the originals being remastered and the second cd being remastered and remixed for a more up-to-date stereo sound.

A saxman like this can converse

My title comes from the second track on this luxuriously smooth-as-silk sax album by Kim Waters. That track, "A Love Like This", is a 4:37 piece of original soprano sax playing that is so lush that Kim has made it my favorite of the entire album. The depth of feeling that Kim transmits through his playing of soprano sax really gets the listener in a groove you never want to end.The whole point to the album is summed up in the title track "From The Heart" as Kim takes you along on a musical conversation that teaches the art of listening. This is a lesson we all can learn by hearing and re-hearing the beguiling "Royal Groove."While playing this CD you get drawn in to another world with romantic mood music that will put you in a healing frame of mind after a long day of whatever.

Everything One Could Ask of a Pitcher...

This is a good item. Its shape conserves space in the refrigerator, and it is made from good quality glass. I have noticed others complaining about the lid, but for me it works perfectly, even after being washed in the dishwasher. I wish the lid was not made from plastic, or at least certified BPA free. However, I searched extensively for a lidded pitcher that was totally plastic-free, and I was never able to find one. To work the lid, hold the outer ring in place with one hand and twist the inner ring with the other hand to tighten or loosen the lid. I bought two of these pitchers, and they are the perfect size to store homemade juice or soy/rice/nut milks. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a glass pitcher.

Very Flawed, Needs true research

When the author tells you saturated fat is bad and dairy fat is bad then you know that they have not done any real research. If you want to know the truth seek it out and read books like "Deep Nutrition" or "Real Food".If its real and it lives in real conditions and not on a factory farm then it is good for you. That means grass fed beef, pastured pork, farm raised chicken and yes even lard, butter and beef tallow is not bad for you and would be preferred to anything unnatural and processed. For those in search of the truth do research on the Weston A. Price website.

Disappointment

I bought this walker because it looked nice and sturdy for my 11-month-old, who cannot wait to walk on his own. He rarely uses it as a walker though. He's more interested in pulling the doors off the front of it, and on more than one occasion has used it as a climbing tool. Once he even fell and split his lip open. The doors on this thing should be attatched better, and barring that, the toy should be recalled.

Excellent Read

The Darkest Dawn is an excellent read. Typical of Tom Goodrich's style, the book puts you "in the moment" with the characters and the characters truly come to life. I just finished reading Team of Rivals by Doris Goodwin, Manhunt by James Swanson and Darkest Dawn by Goodrich. They are all unique and excellent contributions to Lincoln scholarship. Darkest Dawn captures the response to Lincoln's death like no other work I've read. You see how incredibly polarizing the event was and how its timing contributed to incredible anger, anxiety and outrage by both north and south. Top Notch!

What a wonderful reading experience! This was a great second story in Ms McDaniel's Ballad trilogy. It was very absorbing and moving as Mama Burnett accomplishes much more than finding a wife for her son, she also has her long lost son returned to her after his abscene of a decade. And quite expertly the third and final story is introduced.....I am definitely anxious for it's release in the summer of 2001.

Bought Item for my 13 year old granddaughter for Christmas

I was so excited waiting for this notebook to come. My excitement turned to frustration and dismay when I received it and found that it was not as the listing stated. First starters, the harddrive is 5.58GB, not 12GB. The difference in size is a big issue. The body has a crack in it and there is a hole on the side like a piece of it was removed. None of this was listed in the description when I purchased it. The "hole and crack" makes it impossible for me to give to anyone. If there is anything else wrong with it, I don't know because I put it back in the box. The stated issues were enough for me.Dell Latitude CPX Notebook (650-MHz Pentium III, 128 MB RAM, 12 GB hard drive)

Breaks easily

The bad: I've broken two of these already (with a Garmin GPSMAP 60Csx, but I doubt that matters)...not by any harsh use, but just by bending over. They are not very sturdy. They break in exactly the same way, the track cracks just above where the button sits. Once this happens, the GPS can pop out easily without you even knowing it. They really should be made stronger.The good: They work great (until they break). Very quick to attach/detach GPS.I'm considering ordering a Carabiner Button Clip (Garmin 010-10481-00) as an alternative, but I have not tried that product.

Not big on suspense

Although I didn't find this book that suspenseful, I did enjoy the story. I really enjoy Ms. McCrumb's writing, and the way she introduces a bit of the supernatural in her stories with her wonderful Nora Bonesteel. I also love the setting high in the Appalachian mountains. It sounds like beautiful country. This is a book that depicts the way small family farms are disappearing throughout North America. It's about a very old mystery, and a modern-day tragedy. It's also about a family of four boys who learn to rediscover themselves when they have to return home to their ailing father. The story is bittersweet, and the legends are wonderful.

California has spoken

This is a deceptive piece of work. Angry dissenters from Church doctrine attempt to show that the Church has reversed itself on key moral issues, but the methods used fall far below the minimum for theological scholarship. Texts are cited out of context, counter-texts are suppressed, tendentious interpretations are offered which would make the editors of The Wanderer blush.This is pure venom disguised as a theological argument.If you want the real story of what the Catholic Church teaches, read the Catechism of the Catholic Church. For a serious exploration of how Church doctrine evolves, dust off your Newman.

At first I couldn't wait to get my hands on this book. Reading the many reviews on various martial arts forums, I was anticipating this information like never before.

I found nothing new in terms of strength training principles, other than a few references to indian club training that any earnest internet researcher can readily found out.

A Good Look at Breakfast Foods

This book is old but not archaic. The reader is taken directly into various foods that are used for breakfast, which was a pleasant surprise. I expected to hear about the history of breakfast or even see recipes. However, you're shown how fruits can be used, what fruits are ideal for breakfast, how to prepare them, etc.Some ingredients won't match what's on the market today, but if you want a fresh look at preparing breakfast or brunch items, Breakfast Dainties is a great help. I really enjoyed the brevity and clarity of the writing. Easy to read, delightful to use.
