Great Learning Toy
I bought this for my Granddaughter age 9 months & she loved it. She enjoyed pulling the rings off & pulling apart the ones that had velcro (she likes the noise), she learned at about 10 1/2 months that if you dropped the balls down the hole it played noise....then quickly learned it only did this if the toy was not tilted, so she found that she could stick her hand in the door where the balls come out & push on the button to hear the music, now at 14 months, she is still playing with this, stacking the rings on the base, & dropping the balls thru the toy while it is straight. The only reason I did not rate this a 5 star..was the fact that the door will not stay closed & it drives me crazy when I'm trying to clear away her toys....I put the balls in...they roll out the door. Other than that, it's a great toy.

Very Kool
I have owned this CD for about 2 years and it is great. I had to buy another one because the one I had got worn out. Nirvana is so real and that's what makes it good. I am very glad that people still like Nirvana as much as they did before 'the incident' (you all know what I am talking about)...Keep rockin!!! :)

Powermatic 66 mobile base
Amazon has it all wrong! When I ordered the 2042335 base they sent me a base for some smaller machine (19" x 48") yet it said the correct part number on the box. The mobile base was also bent all to hell.They are sending ups to pick-up however I now have to wait 4 weeks to get my money back.

Reliable, at least
The Creative Labs V9.2 is a good value. Pop it in and it works dependably out of the box the first time and every time. I couldn't say that about a more expensive type. If you want to go on line without an installation hassle, this is your modem. My Win XP recognized and installed it at power up, a second later I was on line with AOL for the first time. Simply, dependably.

And the worst song ever is...
...GASOLINA! Oh my god. Daddy Yankee must be on drugs! I can't believe such an artist would look into recording a song that makes the artist worse than he already sounds. Sorry, fanboys, but this lifeless junk is not music! If you want good music, listen to Pink Floyd. Everytime I hear this song is like a sledgehammer to the groin. Enjoy!

I am a moderate...
I am a moderate. Both extremist conservatives and liberals fail to see the truth through their views sometimes, but I know very successful and productive people who are fundamentalist conservative and socialist liberals, whom I love. I am a fan of John Stossels work, and I like Sean Hannity most times, and I also like Ariana Huffington, and other liberal books.Here is what I think:Bad:1. The book is not well written.2. It is the right side equivalent of Micheal Moore: Trashy insults and playing on fear and paranoia and extremism3. Some of the stuff she says is not logical... or practical, and it makes the religious right seem crazy...Good:It is good for a laugh... in a very low brow pathetic way. I did laugh at some stuff... sometimes it was just because it was THAT pathetic... and other times it was because I thought she made a witty statement.I wouldn't read it again. And actually take some pity on those who take her words to be serious

It's not sweet, nor is it love.
Two words : rape myths. I didn't expect a classic, but this was pure rot. Steve, the "hero", is lucky he existed a long time ago; in this day and age he'd get a life sentence. Of course, Ginny the ninny would probably send him care packages in jail - women love the men who rape them, according to Ms. Rogers

I hate this book so much.
I'm being forced to read it for the sake of my AP European history class, and it is awful. I literally, cannot stand it. It's not poorly written, but it's not compelling either. The author seems to get off track often, and everything seems very, Pirates of the Caribbean. And on top of everything, the main character, Magellan, is a foolish and selfish man. I would never read this for fun.

Good read
"Eye For Eye." The other reviewer gives a decent synopsis of "Eye For Eye," which is a Stephen King-esque story of hillbillies, bible-thumpers and telekinetic revenge -- a lot like King's "Firestarter." I suppose what makes this story superior to a King novella is that Card believes that human beings are mostly good, while King does not. Rating: Excellent."The Tunesmith." This is the story of a musician who discovers that he can make music far better and more passionately than the current regime allows; he throws convention out the window, makes great music, is punished for it and then eventually recognized for the genius he is. As Card himself admits, this story is thematically identical to his short story "Unaccompanied Sonata," and I encourage everyone to read that short story in Card's collection of short stories entitled "Maps In A Mirror: Volume 2." Rating: Outstanding.

Why wasn't the horse in the credits ?
Rather than analyze this and thoroughly pick it apart piece by piece, I'll just say I thoroughly enjoyed it and leave it at that.But I think the hours the horses had to stand around having these peculiar pink creatures fuss over them and get them to do things they didn't understand merits at least a mention in the credits of the name of the warhorse and his raven haired sidekick. After all, without them, there wouldn't have been a movie.

Philosophy on the battlefield
When a battle is imminent, there is always time for a lengthy discussion of the meaning of life. I often sing to my wife to the tune of a Marilyn Manson song, "The Bhagavad Gita...The Bhagavad Gita...it's all relative to the size of your Shiva!" She doesn't appreciate it one bit.

Really love this litter
I was a skeptic, I will admit. I had a hamster years ago and never had to do any of the "cool" things being done now. However, I bought two dwarf hamsters for my kids and they actually use this litter! I didn't have to train them at all, I just added the outhouse and voila, it worked. Now, they may still "leak" every now and then, but when I cleaned their cage last weekend, there were no wet spots that needed scrubbing (like I used to have to do with my old one). I recommend this litter to any small pet owner.One thing I was confused on is I bought the smaller, cheaper box of litter--which they are small pellets--but when I went for a bigger bag, thinking I could save money, the pellets were a bit bigger and the hamsters seem to not have used it. Not sure if I just didn't read the bigger bag right, or I got the bigger ones by mistake.Either way, I am happy with this product and just bought 4 more boxes :)EDIT: What happened with the price? Skyrocketed a bit, did it not?

Same Great Movie--Even Better in 3D!
Got this as a gift for my nephew, but ended up loving it myself when we watched it over Christmas together. There are some publications that claim children under 3 years old either:a) shouldn't watch 3D Blu-ray movies because it's not good for themb) may not have the depth perception/binocular vision to really appreciation the 3DThe first one doesn't really concern me, because I don't think those concerns have been substantiated, and (for what it's worth) my 2 year old nephew really seemed to think that the 3D was cool--don't know if it was that he actually thought that the movie was cool, or he just enjoyed wearing the 3D glasses :)As for the adults, we all really enjoyed the crystal clear clarity of the movie and the additional depth added by the 3D effects. This movie is wonderful for all ages, and a must-see every year around Christmas.

Great melodic metal
Although Oceanborn was trully better than this album, Angels fall first still has wonderfull music on it......later albums deteriorate, but thisone is still Nigtwish at their best. My favourite song on the album is most certanly the Elven Path, it is the most dynamic one. What I also liked was that they included a song in finish. I don`t understand a word, but they are finish, so I think at least one song on the album should be in their native language and they had the guts to put it there.It is a good choice if you like melodic metal with a very nice, clean female vocal.

Excellent. A very strong, character driven novel
Character development kept me interested in this engrossing novel. Mr. Williams created and maintained unique personalities that I found myself really caring about. This is a great sci-fi story that reads like a great fantasy. A good Science fiction or fantasy writer will challenge and question the notion of reality itself. Tad Williams creates a plausable future cyber world of unlimited possibility. The line between natural reality and artificial reality becomes very vague. Some interesting philosophical issues are brought up, which man might actually find himself dealing with in a future of artificial reality. This includes the concepts of self awareness of computer created individuals. Can awareness exist without biological form? I think, therefore I am? I thoroughly enjoyed this intelligent, suspenseful, creative work and I look forward to the remainder of the series

Enjoy Every Sandwich: Songs of Warren Zevon
I love this album! It's interesting to hear other artist's take on Zevon songs. But if you're a Zevon purist, they won't sound as good as you would like. The Studebaker song sung by Warren's son is the closest to Warren's sound as you can get. My son and I both felt sad after hearing the cd, especially after that particular song. It's worth every cent though.

WHO KNEW FLEETWOOD MAC COULD ROCK?
As a joke, I heard it said that everyone who moved to the suburbs received a copy of Fleetwood Mac's "Rumors". While it's generally accepted that they were a country-rock/soft rock outfit, this live document proves that they could rock raw and hard. This is Fleetwood Mac at their very loudest. The production is raw and surprisingly unpolished, but the music is furious. It's proven again that Mick Fleetwood and John McVie are the best rhythm section going. Stevie Nick's sex-kitten vocal purrings reveal real power. Not to be outdone, Lyndsey Buckingham's guitar soars to heights never heard before. About the only thing that would have made this package perfect would have been the additions of "The Chain", "Sisters of the Moon", and "Gold Dust Woman".

good vendor coverage
I had no idea a book on firewalls could be this big! The authors have striven to write a definitive Handbook (in the German sense of the word). It spans every major implementation, circa 2003 - Cisco, Nokia, Solairs, linux,... Which explains a substantial part of the heft. The firewall market has these major platforms, and there is enough detail on each for you to be able to install and run it.But the book is more than a set of disparate sections on each vendor. More broadly, it goes into the theory of Intrusion Detection Systems and the common ideas behind most firewalls. You should note that the IDS topic alone is considered sufficiently important by others to have books devoted to it. The level of detail in this book about IDS is not the most comprehensive. But you'll get the gist.So within the covers of this book, you are getting a broad scope of product information and theory. Even if the book's title is somewhat strident.

THIS MOVIE GETS ONE STAR FOR BEAUTIFUL SCENERY AND ONE STAR
FOR HOW WELL MICHELLE PHEIFFER WEARS GLITTER BELIEVABLY. I really really really wanted to like this movie.....it had everything going for it...big budget....Shakespear.....Great stars (WELL, "GREAT" IN EVERYTHING ELSE THEY HAVE DONE ANYWAY) This movie was just, well, long...or maybe it just seemed long. Kevin Klein, who I ADORE in all the odd roles he excels at, was well, just odd... with out the good natured humor. Although I'm quite sure that the writers thought that it was quite amusing. That's the only explaination I can think of for this movie. To be fair...(I'M STARTING TO FEEL LIKE A REAL SCHREW NO SHAKESPEAR-IAN PUN INTENDED =) Read other reviews...I know others liked it...but for the life of me I can't figure out why...

I was very excited to get this book in the mail. I got ready for a good long read. Within 5 minutes I was disappointed. What are these girls talking about.

Great graphics, yes. Gameplay BITES. In addition to bug mentioned in other reviews, it is very difficult to control your bike.

Then MotoGP06 hit the shelves and (thankfully) I RENTED this title for 5 days...

Highsmith at her claustrophobic peak
Edith's Diary is by no means an easy book. But like all of Patricia Highsmith's novels is a masterpiece of claustrophobic suspense. I read it almost 15 years ago when I was a college student in Caracas, and believe it or not this story of a woman trapped in her home with a son from hell was a cult following novel for my generation, as well as almost all of Highsmith work. Our teachers couldn't understand our love for the american writer who choosed to live in Switzerland, she was to weird, too disturbing. I found that it was easier to find her novels in Europe and South America than in U.S.A. Now in 2000, thanks to Ripley's game and thanks to movie director Anthony Minghella, a new generation will know one of America's best and most underated authors.

Paslode Framing Nailer
I never used a framing nailer before, I needed one for some home projects I was going to start. Well after buying all the supplies (extra batt., fuel cells, non-mar tip, and nails) I found this to be a little expensive somewhere around [$], but after using it many times with quick set-up I found this tool very useful. There is no lugging compressors around, by the way, to purchase a framing nailer and a decent compressor you are pretty close in price to this product. The nailer really works well it will drive nails with ease, would definitely recommend for the Do-it-yourselfer!

A Solo Piano Album That Inspires
This is such a wonderful collection of tunes from McCoy Tyner. "Tivoli" is a Dexter Gordon tune, relishing in the imagery of the famous Tivoli Gardens. Tyner's rendition is catchy and very lively. "Tribute To Lady Day," an original by Tyner, eloquently pays homage to Billie Holliday. In "Effendi," another one of Tyner's compositions, the rolling bassline of the left hand is infectious, adding even more swing. McCoy Tyner also recalls visions of his old collaboration partner, John Coltrane, by performing three Coltrane originals. The feel of Tyner playing "After The Rain" conjures up moments of pure beauty. The album, as a whole, is stunning. Throughout 'Soliloquy,' there are inflections of Art Tatum, Erroll Garner, Bud Powell, and of course John Coltrane, showing just how much Tyner is a lover of jazz and one of the great masters and practitioners of this superb artform. This is the kind of album that makes pianists, like myself, very happy.

This book was not written for the right reasons.
I heard about this book on TV so when I was at the bookstore I checked it out. I was immediately surprised at the book. The first thing I saw was the cover of the book being completely taken up by Brooke Shields' face. Then I spent some time reading it and the inside was very similar to the cover. If Shields did write this book to help other women like she claims, the cover and the content of the book wouldn't be all about her like it is. Then a couple days ago I saw Shields on TV again promoting her book. This time she was holding up her book for everyone to see all the while walking and posing like a supermodel on a runway. I was digusted. There's no question she wrote this book to bring herself back into the spotlight.

Bad buy for me
Poached eggs are not hard to make, but using this makes it seem so.Hot steam burning your fingers;Egg cups too small for larger size chicken eggs;An economy of size requiring precise alignment to use the lid;Watch them like a hawk, yet somehow eggs are more done then they should beInstead of this, put eggs in a pot of tap water, bring to a boil, and boil for 2 minutes, longer if you prefer. That's the better way to make poached and soft-boiled eggs.If you are concerned with cracking shells, three tricks science can't explain but experience says will work, are:1. Put a spoon, fork or similar utensil in the water2. Salt the water3. Add olive oil to the water so it coats the eggMy egg poacher is going in the Goodwill bag.

too much techno-geek and not enough plot
I started off liking this book. the concept of rogue micromachines taking over the solar system is innovative. Soon however character development died as the author became more interested in the technology of space flight, space ships and games to simulate life. He lovingly describes the interior of the space ship for no apparent reason. Who cares? The novel was too technology oriented for my taste. After the first fifty pages it became obvious that the author was either a scientist or an engineer. I knew not which until I saw on your listing that he was the latter. It shows.

Use MICR Laser Toner
I, too, purchased this MICR inkjet cartridge, but was delayed more than 30 days in installing it. It was completely unusable. The company has a 30 day "warranty" and did not respond to my request for assistance.MICR ink is reputed to not be an effective choice for check printing. Apparently the magnetic particles "settle."Stick to a laser MICR choice for printing your (blank) checks. If you must use an inkjet choice, install the cartridge immediately, and try to use it up. Do not expect to be able to store it.Also, do not expect to be able to print (blank) checks with non-MICR ink or toner. Some banks may allow it, but many, perhaps most, do not. Your checks may pass through more than one bank, so you will encounter problems. You can use any sort of ink or toner to fill out the check information, but not the routing/information line.

Don't buy this if you like original recordings
This 3 CD collection has a pretty good selection of hits, even though there are many more of The Hag's hits that aren't included. The only problem I have with it is the fact that all of the older songs are not the original recordings. They are remakes. If you like that sort of thing, then that's alright. As for me, however, I only like the original recordings because those are what I fell in love with through the years. Therefore, I feel I wasted my money in buying this set. It looks like the only way to get all of Hag's hits with original recordings is to buy the "Down Every Road" box set and "Yesterday's Wine (1981-1988)".

Japanese Tears (1980) under a different title and with misleading billing
This album is a straightforward reissue of Denny's "Japanese Tears", a solo album of his which has been re-re-released under many different titles, more often than not giving Paul McCartney double billing. Truth be told, there are only three songs by Wings here, hence the "McCartney" credit: "I Would Only Smile", "Send Me The Heart", and "Weep For Love", all of which were leftovers from Wings sessions between 1973 and 1979.While the music might be to your liking, please keep in mind that, if you are considering to get this because of the McCartney double-billing, you will find very little of him here.

Lovely to look at...until it rains!
We purchased these two teak finish chaise lounges because the price was very affordable compared to others we had seen. They assembled well and looked great, until the first rainfall. The orange stain dripped off the chaise lounges all over our white pool deck. It looked as if they were "melting". We had to use a high powered pressure washer to remove the stain from our deck. Unfortunately, they still drip onto the deck each time it rains, a little less stain each time. We can only hope that eventually it will stop completely. As I said, they look great, but alas a bargains isn't always a bargain!

Doesn't work for long time black dye users
I purchased this at a local beauty supply and was told by the store employee's that it works great. I told them I had been dying my hair black for 4+ years and they said it should work great on my hair and lighten it at least 3-4 shades. It did not work at all. I followed the directions to the T and was left with the same black color. My hair is not the slightest bit lighter, and I was left with rotten egg/sulfur scented hair after ten washes!!!May work on fresh dye jobs but I wouldn't know.

Excellent show, poor sound
Unfortunatelly the DVD is dissapointing for Tina's fans. The show is fantastic, but both Dolby Digital and DTS version of this DVD have one of the worst sounds I ever heard. My subwoofer didn't move once while the tweeters of the front speakers nearly went on flames. More, the soundtrack was re-edited with sound taken from other concerts (that's incredible - at one moment I swear that I heard the word Munchen despite the fact that the concert is in Amsterdam). And, oh yes, the DVD is overpriced. Forget "Amsterdam" and don't miss "One Last Time in Concert" as it has verry good sound quality and image. Not speaking abut the phantastic show...

The best orchestral collection of Debussy?
If not the very best orchestral collection, it seems to be the best bargain. More specifically, I would recommend it over the similarly priced Martinon collection on EMI because it spite of the idiomatic qualities of those performances, they are compromised by a rather murky recorded sound, and the orchestral playing is just not in the same league.The Amsterdam orchestra plays everything beautifully, and Haitink is a very sensitive interpreter. I find the Jeux particularly exquisite. The only caveat I would offer is that the La Mer may sound somewhat bland to those who love the more volatile and fiery Munch performance on RCA Living Stereo. However, some listeners may prefer the warm, rounded tone of the Concertgebouw brass to the pointed, rather nasal sound of the Boston's.

Don't Bother
Frankly, I'm not impressed with this book. The reviews looked really good, but in my opinion it doesn't live up to its promise.The concept of a guy flying around the US and meeting people sounded great, but the flying descriptions are lackluster as are the descriptions of characters met. Most of the latter appear to be old chums the author is looking up. To be fair, I'm only about halfway through the book, but the characters all sound the same, and no one the average Joe could relate to. It looks like the back part of the book has a breakdown of towns/areas and rates their quality of life.Instead of this book, I'd recommend buying an old copy of Richard Bach's "Barnstorm" and one of those annual paperback versions Places Rated

The book is providing hands-on information on almost every aspect of e-anything. I actually can't see any area, which was left out. I would have appreciated a larger part on e-banking, but the amount of information is more than satisfying to me. The only reason this book has 4 out of 5 is the quality of the cover, which is not the fault of the author, but of the publisher. But this shouldn't stop anyone from buying the book.

Great little table
We recently got two lamps and needed a couple of inexpensive tables. These fit the bill. The first one went together without a hitch. When I pulled out the second one I noticed they had mis-packaged and given me 3 drawer sides and no back. Since I have the tools I just cut one side down to 12 inches and continued putting it together. They look great under the lamps.For someone without the tools this could have been a problem. The finish on mine was nice and aside from the above I like the product.

Total Jewel Knockoff
I am NOT a fan of American Idol, but I still wanted to hear Carrie Underwood's debut. So I listened to it...and it is a total knockoff of Jewel's This Way. Believe me, I know, because This Way is my favorite Jewel album and one of my favorite albums in general, after Tori Amos's Boys For Pele. In Jesus, Take The Wheel, her voice sings a little melody much like one in Jewel's song 'Till We Run Out Of Road, and the whole song sounds a lot like Standing Still. Carrie has a good voice, but her music is not original enough for my taste.

Defective Out of the Box
Called Support. Couldn't fix it. Referred to a restart button in the back which was inoperable. Very disappointing.

BEWARE
Buyer beware. It took over two months before I received an issue. Still have not received but four in six months. Yet I did get a renewal bill 8 months before the scheduled date. Also I got a book in the mail that I had not requested. I was to send it back if I did not want it and they would send another for my review. If they did not get the returned book I would be charged even though I never signed up for their monthly book club. Expect a weekly intimidating letter requesting payment while still not receiving the magazine you originally ordered. This is a scam to get you hooked with a cheap magazine price then send you material and/or tools you have not asked for. RIPOFF>>>>

reader review
the author needs to do more research into what he is eating.Not all wine is considered vegan(Dinner at My House)Maple syrup is a cooked product, but it is an ingredient in his food.the book needs laid out better, with page numbers for where to find how to make his other ingredients that need preped ahead of time and then have all those things put together so that the need to be flipping pages for every other ingredient is deminished. example: to read one recipe i had to find 4 different pages.p18 sais that instead of his "rejuvilac", vegitable broth can be used, there is no mention on how to make a broth without the use of a stove top. putting vegitables in water to let them steep just doesn't work

The image quality is poor -- even in a well-lit room. Images are blueish and grainy.What is more important however, that it gives a detailed view of your eyes OR your forehead OR your mouth -- but not your whole face. To bring the whole face into the shot, one must place the camera about 6 feet from the target (you). That is one must buy an additional desk just to set this camera at a proper distance from you.Tech support is poor: blame everything on USB ports manufacturers.

Times have changed.
This was a great toy when I was little many years ago. I was so excited to pass this enjoyment on to my son, but the ball doesn't do much - of course it never did. In this age of super fast, overstimulating games it seemed so dull. It was also very hard to read the triangle cube - it never fully flattened against the window and the dark liquid blocked it out. The ball is what it is and my son does still play with it, but it is not in the top ten. I should have learned when last Christmas's Magic Rocks bombed.

Not a very interesting book
I bought this book with a lot of expectations, but was deeply deceived! It is a pompous book, confused, and not too well written. Just because one won a Nobel Prize doesn't oblige one to have the final true. Too many stories without too much interest in my opinion, too many quotations. I didn't had even the patiente to finish it. Best luck to all its readers...

Awesome seris
It's so funny how when I saw these when I was a kid that my impressions were so different. Now that I'm a parent I see it so differently.Still I really liked the set.

It may be a fine comentary on the futility of war but it makes for a less than satisfying entertainment.
It's hard to tell what might have been without the reportedly significant studio editing and tampering with Peckinpah's movie. It would probably have been better. I doubt that it would have been great. There are some good scenes and good performances but overall the movie just drags along and then peters out at the end. It may be a fine comentary on the futility of war but it makes for a less than satisfying entertainment.

What were you watching?
I see some of the favorable reviews of this movie and really wonder what movie were you watching? I was able to endure an hour of this movie in the theater and had to walk out. Of course, that leaves an opportunity that the second have of this movie to make up for the first hour, but there was simply too much ground to make up. I rank this in the same category as Speed 2 on the all time worst list. By the way, I realy like football, Al Pacino, and Cameron Diaz, but hated this movie.

Warning . .
Do not watch this movie while operating heavy machinery as it tends to make you nod off. Definitely one of the lesser forms of filmmaking and not historically accurate from any point of view, which makes it's reason for being an inconclusive mystery. If it were on the comic edge it might of helped, but the take is a serious nature on a ridiculous premise.

One of the worst sc-fi novels I've ever read
Starts out bad and it just gets worse. Boring, unintelligent, incoherent, pointless, peurile. Mind numbing, and not in a good way. How can I draw an analogy? Hmmmm. OK, imagine the most idiotic, uninspiring, self-important piece of trashy modern art. The kind where you look around to see if there are hidden cameras and this is just some kind of joke. Now imagine it . . . as a book. This book is it.I literally threw it in the trash. I've thrown a grand total of two (TWO) books in the trash my whole life.Do yourself a favor and read some smart, thought provoking work from Neal Stephenson, not this.

Terrible customer service from RIO Brands!!!!
We used the umbrella 2 times. The 2nd day we used it the thing snapped in half. We were using it on the beach but it wasn't very windy at all. I made sure to choose an umbrella with the air vents in it but little good that did. We even purchased the sand anchor! I tried to contact RIO Brand 3 times with no response. That is the LAST time I will order anything from them. The least they could have done was respond. Even if they couldn't replace or fix it.

One of a kind!A must!For pet lovers and music lovers alike.
Music not only for the pet, but also for the soul. My dog, Thor, a great dane, rolls over and almost hugs the speakers when I put on the cd. And if I'm in need of some soothing background music, I'll pop in my cd. When I need to de-stress while at work, I go to www.musicsite.net and go directly to the Dog Radio station that plays the cd all day long and I'll leave it playing in the background. (For those of you who have cats... Check out the Cat Radio station) Great for my dog and perfect for me.

Tae Bo is a sham
Whoever made this video should be ashamed of themself. This video is absolutely no use whatsoever and could not possibly be of any benefit to anyone. I have used the video as a guide to training for many months now and I have actually gained quite a lot of weight and as a result I have lower self esteem than I have ever had in my life. I cannot imagine why anyone would want to try this program. It is terrible...an absolute disgrace.

not up to her usual standards
I have to agree with a few of the other reviewers. I have read and loved almost all of Nora Roberts works but this one left me cold. Her hero was whinny (sp) her heroine, as someone else stated, was too masculine. I've noticed in the last couple of her books the female lead in the stories were all ready to jump into bed at the drop of a hat and all had done so with many other men in their past. The romance just wasn't there. There didn't seem to be the connection between these two that she had in her other books. I wouldn't recommend buying this book in hardcover...wait for the paperback or borrow it from your local library.

Best book on prayer methods ever
This book is a classic book on how, when, what and where to pray!Every person that wants to learn to pray should have a copy of thisbook and share it with all your friends. It gives you confidence andinspires you to pray with ease. Ways to converse with God is a fittingsubtitle for this book.

Very comfy, but too narrow
I bought these in an 11M which is the same size as all my other Clarks shoes and they are very comfortable and stylish, but also very narrow and tight around the front of the foot. If I thought i could stretch them out I would to keep them. The height of this shoe only feels like about 2" because of the foot platform. Very beautiful and flattering on the foot!

Great technical reference, bad political humor......
would gave this book 4 stars if it wasn't for the bad political jokes and awkward plaements of them such as 'in code'. I recommend Oracle PL/SQL by Benjamin Rozenweig(it even features an actual database to perform against.) Please keep in mind this recommendation is for beginners.

Disappointed with the manufacturer
In the product description and on the directions that came in the box it says a pump is supposed to be included. However, there was no pump in the box. In the box was the ball, measuring tape, two plugs, a plug removal tool, and a fitting that looks like it is supposed to connect to the missing pump. Luckily my bicycle pump has a fitting that worked to air up the ball. When the ball was packaged it was folded and crammed in to the box so tightly that it created crease marks, and now there are wrinkles on the fully expanded ball. I am worried that this may cause some pressure points and I worry that it could cause the ball to burst. Overall I am very disappointed with my purchase and I haven't even used it yet. Judging by the reviews of different brands it seems like Amazon is not the place to shop for fitness balls as all of them seem to have issues with mislabeled or missing parts.

hair-raising Capitol thriller!
THE ZERO GAME is a fine political adventure based on an innocent enough betting game between congressional staffers which turns into murder. It's heavy on the yawn-inducing stuff of political bartering, & lively in the tight spots into which the two surviving heroes are herded by invisible shepherds who have a lot to lose, no scruples & fingers in very high up pies.Rebeccasreads recommends THE ZERO GAME as one bumpy, entertaining ride!

Plush Platypus - A favorite with our granddaughter
This duplicate platypus was bought as a replacement for the first one which got "lost" at the hospital. Our granddaughter (16) had lent her platypus to her great-grandfather while recovering. Most of the hospital staff knew "Patrick" and loved him. Unfortunately he disappeared one day after the sheets were changed. This platypus is very soft and exactly what our granddaughter wanted. Evidently the platypus become popular with the show Phineas & Ferb which has led many of us to learn morer about this Australian mammal. Before getting lost, "Patrick" had been washed a few times and survived well -- just not quite as soft as when new. BTW, PJ (Patrick Jr) now stays home and doesn't venture out except for occasional visits!

A Lot of Money for a Very Little
Don't be fooled by the name "Emeril" on this knife. This is a light duty knife at best. The blade is extremely thin and has little or no weight. Spend a few extra dollars and get a knifewith more quality and more weight.

Too much pornography
I bought this movie because I thought it was a Christian movie. But after watching it for just a few moments, I realized that this was not a movie that i would ever want in my house. There is way to much pornography and sexual perversion. What the women do with each other in the movie is abominable.

This Thing Stinks!!!!!!!!!
This monitor is the worst product that I have ever bought!It only worked well for a week.(Just long enough for me to throw away the receipt) Now I have to turn the volume all the way up to barely hear anything. But of course you can always hear the static. Do NOT buy this monitor! Save yourself the frustration. Don't we have enough of that already?

Useless
I bought this and hate it. The mouse works intermittantly and is too heavy. The numeric keyboard beeps and displays incoming emails and IMs seemingly at random and usually several days after the messages arrive. It also ran out of battery power after a week's use. Also, the keyboard feel is horrible and it's impossible to key in numbers quickly and reliably with it. Same goes for the main keyboard; the space button frequently will not work. Oh, and the first time I use the numeric keypad after some time of non-use, it often sends two consecutive numbers with one keystroke. Example: I type 123, and it comes out as "1123." I will say the design is very cool; too bad this product is useless.

Nice idea, but Failed
I set this up according to directions, with a TV in one room and cable box in another. The first few presses on the remote control worked great. The RF transmitter box saw the IR signal from the remote, transmitted the codes to the Receiver in the other room and controlled the cable box, changing channels and such. After a minute or two, the system failed. Indicator lights showed that the remote was "seen" by the transmitter and the codes were sent, but the Receiver/IR unit failed to activate the cable box even when placed close to the boxes IR sensor.I tried repositioning, plugging & unplugging, etc. No luck. Apparently, the receiver unit failed. Product was returned to Amazon for refund - a relatively painless process, which is one of the reasons I really like Amazon!
