0	Really disappointing.	I'm a big fan of their last few records, but not of this one. It's not poppy; it's not even emo. I guess the band are changing their sound but I loved their old sound. At least we have their old records. . .	negative
1	A BRILLIANT CD FROM THE UP AND COMING RAPPER EMINEM	A VERY GOOD CD I THOROUGHLY ENJOYED THIS CD THOUGH SOME OF THE LYRICS WERE A BIT LOUSY THE BEATS MADE UP FOR IT. THE BEST SONGS ARE: NO.2,3&9. DRE REALLY MAKES THE CD COME TO LIFE IN GUILTY CONCIENCE. THE ONLY REASON I COULDN'T GIVE THIS FIVE STARS BECAUSE THERE WEREN'T ENOUGH GOOD SONGS ON IT BUT OVERALL THIS IS A GREAT CD AND EMINEM IS HILLARIOUS IN IT.	positive
0	bad.	I don't see why everyone is saying that Madonna came back, and that this is so good. Her title song, "Ray of Light" is stupid, and the sound effects sound like toilets flushing and heaven knows what else. "Frozen" is okay, but it leaves you thinking that maybe she did freeze while singing. Madonna is immoral in many ways, but her latest way is tricking people into buying an album that is nothing but some sounds she didn't even think up with her voice, which has not improved.	negative
1	Zenith Pole Caddy	Perfect for the walk-in shower. Just the right amount of storage. Holds all of her body washes, shampoos & conditioners, etc. with just enough room left for his shampoo..	positive
0	Wishful thinker not a realistic one	Rand calls herself a Romantic thinker: idealistic, she wishes that if everybody selfishly did what they wanted than everyone would bargain and trade services and in the end everyone would be happy. If only real life worked that way. You know, even from the playground, that the big bully's rule and that people don't bargain or trade fairly. That is why we had teachers. That is why there are rules and manners so that we do cooperate and work together to build bridges and create products, industries, ball teams. It is a give and take world of stop lights, taxes, and community as well as building your own castle: it's both. Selfishness leads to a lonely sad life: even old Scrooge came to realize that. Most "shocking" unbelievable ideas like Rand's are just that: unbelievable and unrealistic. People don't act like Rand wishes they would--thank God.	negative
1	Excellent Pad	I bought this pad for my wife for our backpacking trips because I already have one so i felt confident that it would still work well for her as well. Well, it does. It is light, backs tight (when rolled about an 8-10 inch roll). Just took a soggy trip through the rain, and the closed cell constructions is a breeze when it comes to setup time. Just shake and you are ready to go. No worries about air leaking or not expanding correctly when it is cold here. One small complaint...I wish it was a little thicker. But at an inch thick it is adequate. no won is really used to sleeping on the ground anyway.	positive
1	Golfing with God	Integrates love of golfing with human questions of spirituality -- introduces subject matter that matters! Golfers and non-golfers alike will get a kick out of this one.	positive
1	Great service	Thanks for your speedy service, and for sending exactly what I ordered. You build confidence in on-line purchasing with your wonderful service.	positive
1	absolutely great	these binoculars enable you to see terrific detail of objects from a distance. the detail of pike's peak from colorado springs is so great through these it's unbelievable for a pair so compact. as another person stated they are too good for say a ball game but superb for long distance like on a 4x4 trail.	positive
1	Excellent discussion of the importance of space exploration	Some of it is now a bit dated, but is nevertheless a valuable resource. If you think, or know someone who does, that space exploration is not important, read this book and give it to your friends and politicians. You will see why space exploration is quite important.	positive
0	Already dead	I bought this frother 6 months ago and it worked great. It started slowing down, so I put new batteries in and the thing just died. Also, unless you froth in a deep glass, the milk will spill out. Also, unless this frother is set at just the right angle, the milk will splatter. I'm not buying this brand again.	negative
1	A double tragedy...	"Out of the Ashes" is a gripping true story of a Jewish female obstetrician who survived the Holocaust, and saved the lives of hundreds of female prisoners, only to be savaged when she finally emigrated to the United States by both a bureaucratic system and latent anti-semitism among the commissioners who reviewed her application for citizenship to enable her to practice here. Difficult to watch at times due to content, despite the fact that it won an Oscar for cinematography, the truth is often tough to swallow. It is the story of a woman who became a doctor over parental objections, who aborted hundreds of women to save them from Nazi extermination, and who survived only to be savaged when she finally made it to the U.S.	positive
1	Good Item.. Recommended..	This item is nice & as described.. Fits into Nikon 52mm lens correctly.. Good Performance.. Recommended..I wanted to send this as a gift item.. So it would have been better if the gift wrap was available for this..	positive
0	doesn't work on bare floors	i did my research and read a lot of good reviews for this vacuum. i really wanted to like it, especially for the price, but it doesn't work on bare floors.i don't have carpet but wanted a good affordable vacuum for the floors and upholstery. i really needed the vacuum to be able to pick up fine particles and sadly, fleas - i'm waging a war on fleas even though my cat stays indoors. it's extremely hot and humid here and fleas just thrive. part of the flea treatment was to sprinkle salt on the floor and vacuum it up. the vacuum didn't pick it up, and just spread it around at high velocity - i could feel the particles hitting my feet and ankles. very disappointing.it seems to work pretty well on upholstery, though to pick up pet hair, you need to use the 'duster' brush and not the upholstery attachment.	negative
0	Tim	What's the deal with only making a portion of season six avaliable? There are very few things as frustrating as having a girlfriend who's crazy for a show like this, whose birthday is coming up, and only being able to find SOME of what she really wants. If they needed to do this (for some money hungry reason?), make it much less expensive. C'mon HBO, you're killin' me!	negative
1	Excellent!	This CD is a pure treasure. I recently had this CD on a social gathering and three different people came up to me and said: "Who is this you're playing, I love it"	positive
0	Not great with stains	This didn't really do a good job of lifting stains on clothes. Switching back to Tide	negative
1	Just as described	Received what is described. Face and surrounding area approx 1 3/4". 2" at longest point (incl. some of the band). Seems like good classic g-shock. Band is not fancy but it's nice and seems durable. Expecting to enjoy this for many years. I am very happy with this. We'll see about durability.	positive
0	I don't get it...	I don't understand how this product can be so expensive... I bought it for a friend, so I really don't have any experience with the product itself and it probably doesn't help that I'm male and therefore don't really see the apeal in such things anyway, but that being said, I would wager you could find something similar and much more reasonably priced at your local walgreens.What you think you're getting from this product is 99% just in your head. Your better off spending thirty bucks on something else, maybe one of those starbucks refillable gift cards...	negative
1	Mickeybo & Me - Outstanding and hard to find	This is an excellent movie - very funny, poignant and an excellent period piece. I wish it was published in the US so I could own it. We all need to go on more adventures!	positive
1	Live to Television	This is Culture Club at the peak of their popularity. All the hits from the first two albums are present and the band are in pretty good form. George was never a strong voaclist live but he manages to get by on stage presence and personality as much as anything else.The reason the banter is at a minimum is that this was filmed for (and broadcast live) on Australian television back in - whatever year it was - God I feel old! There was not time for too much banter. There were songs to be sung and and advertising to be squeezed in - although this is not included in the DVD naturally.Fans will have no reason to complain.	positive
0	Pretty weak	Someone was having a good time fiddling with the special effects, making this appear to be 50s sock hop meets 60s psychedelia. That and some of the laughable outfits (why must overweight women wear tight clothing?) make it pretty weak. Occasionally when the editor gets tired of fiddling, there is some good highlighting of standard box steps. So I wouldn't buy this tape. However... I did like the Webb's 3-video instructional swing tapes. They really teach and do so at a good pace (while the amateurishness of the production provides some good laughs). The only thing to be careful of in their instructional videos is that the "jitterbug" is some sort of two-step. However, we've found that we can "translate" two-step to one-step. We like the Webb's tapes better than Teresa Mason. They aren't as fluid as her and her partner, but they do a significantly better job of teaching.	negative
1	Great Fun	We got this for my daughters 2nd birthday and she loves it! She has a great time mixing the sand and water and making things from the sand. I like it because she doesn't have to sit in a sand box, she just stands next to it and that makes her a lot less messy! I am really glad I bought it. The only downside, I guess, is that after she plays with it, you have to clean out the water side every time, and it is a little messy with all the wet sand in there. But it's not that big of a deal.	positive
1	Good but they are not of the smokeable variety	I bought these along with some other kinds of nicotiana seeds and after some research (which I should have done before hand) I found out these are not the variety that are smoke-able or for chewing. I did learn that they are still a very nice ornamental tobacco so I will grow them anyways. 5 stars because the mistake was mine and the seeds did sprout.	positive
1	WHERE IS IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1	I have been waiting for this game but I can't find it any where . I realy want to play it . I gave it 5 stars be cause it looks fun .	positive
0	Too bad it doesn't work	I used this product twice with perfect results. The third time I used the Waring Pro WMK300 Belgian Waffle Maker, it would not heat up. The power light turned on but it would not make a waffle. Today I have returned it for a refund and will not buy another after reading the reviews. It seems that the latest reviews (those bought recently) are all bad. My daughter has one, which she purchased three years ago, and it is still making great waffles. I can't help but wonder where this product is being manufactured and why has the quality changed so much in the last couple of years? What a disappointment!	negative
1	This book is an edge-of-your-seat thriller - truly exciting!	I've been a fanatical lover of mysteries, detective novels, and spy novels since I was a child. The Spy Wore Red is one of the best and most exciting books that I have ever read. What makes it even more exciting is that it's a true story. I couldn't get a hold of the Countess' second book: The Spy Went Dancing fast enough!	positive
0	not what I thought!	wasnt bad ,just thought it was something else. Terry Fator is very good at what he does. His show is very funny	negative
1	Love it!	This movie is amazing! Sooo funny! I can watch it over and over! Beware - some of your friends may think you're nuts. Of course, I have friends who think the Monty Python's Holy Grail is nuts.	positive
0	didn't work at all	I bought this from Target yesterday. All I get is a flashing green light and beeping - LOUD beeping from the receiver that was so loud it woke up my son from the next room with the door closed. That's supposed to indicate that it's out of range, but like I said, I was in the next room. Everything was plugged in and set up correctly, and the channels matched. I can't get it to work from anywhere in the house. Maybe I just got a lemon, who knows? I hope that's the case.	negative
1	Six Easy Pieces	Book was shipped promptly, received quickly, and arrived in excellent condition.Mosley, of course, achieved fame through his Easy Rawlins books, but he hasn't limited himself to these, and this book was a try atwriting Easy Rawlins material in short story form. The stories arefine, but they don't fully succeed because his characters and plotsare too complex to be fully presented in only 40 pages or so. Perhaps that's why he hasn't attempted this format since.	positive
1	Buy them!!	These are the best refried beans available. I will never buy canned again. My husband never used to like beans when I made homemade burritos..he would only eat the meat. Now, he eats beans and meat. I've passed bags out to all of my friends and they all love them too.	positive
1	Theres a reason it sold nearly a million in its first week	Its because Vedder and company made one of the best follow-up albums in the history of rock n' roll. Just LISTEN to "elderly woman behind the counter" a truly awesome all acoustic jam with Vedder proclaiming "hearts and thoughts they fade...fade away" as the song comes to a close, truly awe-inspiring.	positive
0	Their live shows have slipt.	If Pearl Jam really cared about putting out a great live DVD, they should put out something from 1994 or 1995, their Vitolagy tour days.Talk about boring, they don't move around much at all these days, and Eddie Vedder is just a shoe starer these days, not much character to his microphone perfromance.The music sounds pretty bad as well, at least compared with their records.Properly a good idea if they rehearse before going on tour.	negative
1	Insightful!	In Insurance from Underwriting to Derivaties, Eric Briys and Francois de Varenne, both Deutsche Bank insurance experts, have written a highly technical, albeit readable, book for their professional peers. They discuss property-casualty insurance, risk, securitizing, pricing and liabilities duration in the United States and Europe. However, it will dawn on the casual reader fairly early that there should be an "experts only" label on the book jacket. Even the basic introduction to property-casualty insurance begins with the presentation of complex mathematical models. More daunting models, charts and graphs elucidate information throughout. Insiders will appreciate this data and the extensive footnotes and references. While this may not be a book for the mid-management reader, we assure you, without risk, that its target audience - financial executives and professionals in the insurance industry - will be very glad to have it.	positive
1	VERY PLEASED	I RECIEVED MY COMFORTER SET IN A VERY TIMELY MANNER AND MY SON LOVED IT....IT WAS VERY GOOD QUALITY AND I LOOK FORWARD TO DOING BUSINESS AGAIN IN THE NEAR FUTURE	positive
1	D'Annunzio at his best	This singularly attractive little volume contains four stories by the young D'Annunzio, written in the early 1880s. Three are slight, but 'The Virgins' is a substantial and startling piece of writing, and an important example of late nineteenth-century 'verismo' or realism. It begins by describing in detail the experience of a sick woman slowly recovering from typhus: she responds with a voluptuous intensity to the returning sensations of sight, smell and sound - leading to amorous arousal, rape and death (some readers will find the story lurid and repellent). I know no text that evokes physical sensation so effectively. In other D'Annunzio stories that are equally vivid there tends to be a divorce between the thoughts of the characters and amazingly evocative descriptions that manifestly reflect not their sensibility but that of the author; here the two coincide, and the result is, in my view, D'Annunzio's finest story.	positive
0	Great Response, Lousy Accuacy	I am typig thi on this keyboard the same way I would type on a regular keboard -- or lightly lower. You ca see for yourselves te results.It's not that the keys are not workig, it is just that it is so sensiive to whee on the keys tht you trike, that it rops ltters rathr frequently.Cute toy, but not worth the money i you ca actually type.	negative
0	Defective dvd	DVD was defective--last half the audio was totally out of sync. Standing Ovation took forever to acknowledge my complaint. After 4 or 5 e-mails they finally responded. A refund or a new dvd is being processed. I'm not sure which. Communication is not the best.	negative
1	'stand alone' must be heard	melodic acoustic guitar and vocals with a haunting harmonica. lingering in your mind lyrics - stories of the today, tomorrow, and yesterday 'stand alone' nature of love and life. music that travels right to the heart. a clearly creative CD from the talented musician, singer and songwriter, paul hlebcar.	positive
1	A good first book for those experiencing loss	This book was given to me by my nurse practitioner when my first child was born still. It was helpful with the immediate concerns that confront you after your baby dies and before you have time to seek help elswhere. I have re-read it numerous times in these past 2+ years. The poems were particularly poignant and help me get in touch with my feelings. I would recommend it for anyone who has been unfortunate enough to experience the death of a child.	positive
0	Who's Next? More like Poo's Next!	These guys are the worst of the worst when it comes to music. One, I've never seen them on MTV, and two, the songs are awful, radio unfriendly, and above all untalented. Like Baba O'Riley, which is just the same note over and over and something about a teenage wasteland. Whatever. And Won't Get Fooled Again is very radio and MTV unfriednly.And Behind Blue Eyes makes me infuriated. Why did they take a Limp Bizkit masterpiece and turn it into crap?Avoid this like the plague.	negative
0	Speculation, Hypotheis, and Assumptions!	Crossan, co-founder of the Jesus Seminar, proves in this volume that speculation is fact, Hypothesis is most reliable, and Assumptions should be believed. I have heard Crossan speak on television and read his books, and he clearly communicates a disdain for the reality of a resurrected Jesus that is beyond a metaphorical notion. He stresses faith over reason and I can see why because to believe the nonsense this man kranks out I would have to have a greater faith than I do believing the conservative facts about Christianity. This book is worth reading only to get a better grasp of the "new" twentieth century reconstructionism of the Historical Jesus, other than that it's worthless heresy.	negative
0	Absurdity	For the love of ... man?If you want to write a scientific article, write a scientific article. If you want to write a tabloid piece, write a tabloid piece. But if you want to conflate the two, with a good dose of genetic determinism and banal social stereotypes thrown in ... well, please don't write at all.Sykes lays the entire history of misogyny on the tender back of a Y chromosome, and then treats its hypothetical demise as some sensational revenge of womankind."Many people would rejoice at the extinction of men," he writes on page 298. His evidence? A solitary, mentally imbalanced woman who once aimed a shot at Andy Warhol.This Boys v. Girls theme makes what could have been an interesting premise an exhausting and immature jaunt into hyperbole.Not to mention all 305 pages could aptly have been communicated in 20. In this case, Bryan's Curse seems to be want of a good editor.	negative
1	Polo - need is say more?	Polo Blue - a quality product from Ralph Lauren. I have used Polo for many years and it's one of my favorites.	positive
1	Too cute!	I purchased "Too Many Frogs" for my 3-year-old nephew/Godson after a friend told me how much her 5-year-old son loved the book. The concept is terrific for kids that have large extended families and many events with family and friends. It demonstrates the benefits of having people that care about you around, even if those people may get on your nerves from time to time. The images are cute and colorful and the story isn't too complex for young children to understand. In today's diverse family dynamics, the storyline is spot-on.	positive
0	Opps	I say 'opps' because after putting it into water where one would assume it would be use it feel apart.	negative
1	Duet with Patrick Duffy	My husband is a huge Dallas fan. He found the duet online and wanted a CD of the song "Together We're Strong." Rest of CD is pretty good, too.	positive
1	satisfied	I purchased this movie as a gift, so haven't viewed it, but it arrived in a timely fashion, so I was pleased.	positive
0	Every FRD book is great except this one!!!	Do not buy this book for your kids, unless you live in an Amish community or somewhere where you know and trust absolutely everyone. The girls befriend an elderly single man and it's quite quaint and nice if it weren't for the horrible reality of our world today. The girls are rewarded and rejoice in befriending a strange man, alone, with no adults present. It is sweet and naive story, a dangerous lesson in our times.	negative
0	Save your money	Don't be fooled by the author's 'bio' - she spent only a single day at the Scott Peterson trial, getting in via public lottery like everyone else.There's no new information or research here. She read the trial transcripts, then posted on her blog throughout the trial. This 'book' is a printout of her blog entries.Dillon is neither a psychologist, criminologist, lawyer or good writer, for that matter, unless you consider the writing on Hallmark cards to be Shakespearean.Also, consider her thoughts on Hurricane Katrina, although she's now deleted them from her blog:"LORETTA DILLON commented:"Unfortunately, I can't see the future. I do know that bad things happen to bad people, and I do wish that the scum of New Orleans had all drowned in the flood, like an Old Testament purge.I expect most of them survived. Like cockroaches.And they are coming to a city near you."Posted by loretta at September 8, 2005 09:38 AM "	negative
0	...no way jose	The funny thing is.. I can't even tell you if the game is good or not because you have to register online (otherwise it won't work at all!!) and every time I tried doing that I got the error message "server is unavailable right now - please try again later" hahaha... so every time I tried "again later" I had to start the game from the beginning and watch the intro again and there was no way to skip that. And as far as I read in the description you even have to be online most of the time you are playing to receive hints and emails... bla bla bla.. long story short.. I wouldn't want this game if you would give to me for free... save your money.	negative
0	Don't waste your money	Ok so if you read my review on the actual detector, you can see I was not find the old deep coins. In theory, a bigger coil is supposed to add some depth so I flipped for the extra money on this bigger coil and got the same results as the 8" coil. I called Bounty Hunter and their web site mentions nothing about extra depth and said the other places selling these should not be advertising that. There is NO gained depth with this bigger coil. I paid good money for nothing. The point of this coil is to cover more area in less time, however that means you are going too fast and missing targets. If you want it for a gain in depth over the standard coil 8" that comes with unit, do not do it. Do not take my word for it, call Bounty Hunter they will tell you the same thing. I am now stuck with an extra coil and gained nothing. Going to save up and just buy a better detector.	negative
0	Do Not Trust BZB Global	I placed and order with this company and after 1 week I get an email stating that the order is canceled. After talking to Amazon customer service they just said canceled per merchant request. I want to know why! Of course no one can tell me. They also state in the email that my credit card was not charged however the charges were taken out the day the order was placed. They have since been returned but maybe they should not be taken out until they are sure that the order will ship. I am very displeased with this seller and wanted to let other know.	negative
1	Amazing easy cooking method	I inherted my mom's Romertopf clay baker. She always loved it and it was one of the few things she didn't downsize out of the kitchen in her later years. You cut up and throw in the ingredients like a crockpot. But the great thing is you crank up the oven and it browns everything. It is very easy to use and cook a wide range of meats and vegetables. I bought this one for my sister and she has been cooking away with it.It is surprising easy to clean but just accept that the pot will become stained with each use.	positive
1	Still a Bond film...	Though not officially part of the James Bond series, and even though it is a rough update of "Thunderball", your 007 collection isn't complete without it. It is currently overpriced to buy on DVD or bluray, as it is out of circulation, but it was well priced to buy through Amazon for instant movies. I watched it in HD through my Xbox 360 on my big screen TV. It ran perfectly. I was happy to see this option as there is no way I was going to overpay for a physical copy. If the price comes back down, I would still buy one though to complete my Bond collection.	positive
0	worthless as peer-reviewed research	Don't buy it if you expect a learned author with peer-reviewed credentials. This is another one of the bronze-age books written by amateurs with no serious background in archeology or egyptology, whose only credentials are a strong religious bend. The book expounds a thesis with no factual backing.I am very disappointed that no other review pointed this out. If you look for actual facts and serious analysis stay away. This purchase was a total waste. After the first few pages I was too embarassed to read this book in public. The positive ratings for this book are probably "ideological" ratings that rate the book high because it supports a fundamentalist reading of the Bible - in no way do they represent a true rating of this book. Real historians probably know better and don't buy/rate it...	negative
0	Just not enough heat	I love my Brinkman Smoke but the Electric Element didn t meet my expectations. It really doesnt generate enough heat to maintain the proper level for smoking.	negative
0	Serrations great for tomatos, but that's it	I bought this to have a very sharp small kitchen knife. I figured that the serrations wouldn't hurt, and would definitely add value with regard to slicing tomatoes. OOPS!The serrations make slicing tomatoes, especially thin skinned very ripe ones, a breeze. Unfortunately, they "catch" on other food actually increasing the work needed to cut. Needless to say, I suppose, is that the stroke used with this knife is a pull (it will not work with a "pressing" action), but for some reason a push stroke doesn't seem as effective.Also note that this knife is physically light weight (good for some, less good for others).I looked at the recommendations for this knife, and some of them seem to be for Kyocera ceramic knives in general, not this specific 5" serrated knife. Do yourself a favor; if you are just purchasing a small sharp kitchen knife, try the regular blade. If you know that you want the serrations, then this knife will be for you.	negative
0	Very HARD to assemble	Very inconvenient to assemble. No way one person can do it. This item comes as a kit, not together like other mini trampolines on market. I would not recommend this for use.	negative
0	worse than ever	Hello.I searched a bit to take this product.Unfortunately i am not in US so a relative bought it for me.After working perfect for 2 months no i cannot USE the LCD monitor.I tried to contact the FUJIFILM by email or by phone to Romania and Greece but nothing.In Romania they have no authorised service dep. and in Greece the Dep.

1	With Steve & George - How can you go wrong?	Lets face it Steven Speilberg and George Lucas are probably the best team ever in Hollywood film making. These two guys deliver a one two punch that makes their movies lovable, memorable and grand. The "Indy" movies are the epitome of action adventure movies. This DVD set is pretty awesome especially with the additional DVD with extra material. Although I have only seen the last crusade and lost ark so far, I can already tell how sought after this set will be in a few years. I loved the digital mastering. My sound system sounds like I spent several thousand dollars on it when all it is a $800 system. You have to get this for any movie buff. This one will be a collector's item guaranteed. Good luck and happy holidays!What's the deal with the rumor that another Indy adventure may be in the talks?	positive
0	Price hike, not a happy bunny	Was really looking forward to getting this. Went to order just now, only to find the price hiked by $9. Not happy, will look elsewere. Shame on you amazon.The rating is for Amazon and not the product.	negative
1	Best watch ever	I have owned this watch for a while. What a nice watch. It is so well made, and is a beautiful time piece. I have owned many high end watches,and this Fendi is upthere with the best of themIt is classic styling.	positive
0	far too basic	Thsi volume is far too basic to be of much use beyond a first year Bible college class. For the seminary student or pastor looking for a good reference tool, there are much better New Testament introductions and surveys available. This added nothing to my study of the New Testament.	negative
0	Cuts well but engine doesn't last	I bought the Poulan Pro 2 Summer's ago, and it ran for most of the season then it started surging and burning oil. I brought it to the local lawnmower repair shop, and he repaired the carburetor, replaced the spark plug and filter. It ran well for the second season. Now it's starting to surge and sputter after one month into the third season. I always run the engine until the fuel runs out before I store it at the end of the season. Would recommend you avoid this model.	negative
0	Again and Again? More like please no more	Dull book. I read the whole book with the hopes that it would get better at the end. It didn't.	negative
0	Time to take a day job homies.	Look into these souls and what you will see is not rap purists but diabolical cynics. Sure, maintaining the head-to-head MCing tradition of hip-hop if admirable (in a pathetic, get-with-it sort of way) but it's just another angle to sell their bottom drawer wares. This person's a wack MC, that persons a sucka MC - who cares. The music isn't even good enough to be hedonistic; it;s just shallow, harmless fluff that gets old after a short while. perhaps it's their upper-middle class upbringing that deprives them of a point-of-view, but surely their somewhat successful (they did get on Yo! MTV Raps) foray into the rap game has supllied them with one. Maybe they're just too shallow to express one. I just wish they'd express anything besides the fact that people we don't know or care about are wack. Grow up.	negative
0	Do the Right thing and don't waste your time with this movie.	Instead go buy DO THE RIGHT THING, a film by Spike Lee so you can see a film that deals with these same themes in a far more powerful and impactful way. It won't make you feel good, it won't make you pat yourselfon the back for going to see it, and it won't make you proudly proclaim to your one black friend that you went to see it. Its a film that sparks real conversation not heavy handed sympathy.	negative
1	That was a lot to rate...	an HDMI cable under $10. isn't that what this is about? I still remember the look on an associate's face at a big box store trying to sell me a $60 cable. it was hard not to laugh.I have had no qualms ever with purchasing an off-brand cable. they are so cheap that if it fails after 1 year i do not mind replacing. I think i only have one big brand cable in all my gear and that was a gift.The cable works as expected. the price was right. end of story.	positive
1	Conversations with God: An Uncommon Dialogue (Book #2)	Awesome Book! I read the entire series of CWG 1, 2 and 3, and I was fascinated by it. It challenges our thoughts about our Soul, our relationship with God, and makes you feel closer to God, because this is not a book about religion, it's God talking straight to us.

1	an american master	To My Sister; The Heron; No Bird; Elegy for Jane; She; Her Reticence; The Meadow Mouse; and of course, My Papa's Waltz--these are all some of the great poems that Theodore Roethke wrote. Roethke is one of our American masters. I found that when he was on his game (as he was in the poems above, among others) his poetry was phenomenal, but when he wasn't, his poetry could be awful. His earlier work is better than his later work, though he seems to have gotten most of his recognition for his later work. Still, for the poetry lover this is pretty much a required volume for your shelves.	positive

0	High-school level writing	I read this book at my mother's insistence, and was horribly disappointed--- both in the writing and in my mom's taste in books. The writing style is what I would expect out of the average 17 year old. The author has gone to great pains to create a character that (at least) he feels is unique. The protagonist's distinguishing characteristic is her colorblindness. So what--- it adds absolutely nothing to what little plot there is. This, combined with the character's constant references to her martial arts training are more irritating than anything. Although I hate to put down a book without having finished it, I simply refused to torture myself any longer with Trick of Light.	negative

1	Spirits of Onion Layers	'Love it or hate it' probably applies to most of the ISB's music; it is a peculiar style of folk music which has a travelly psychy ethnic tinge to it.

1	good art, so-so book	i love Clive Barker's Thief of Always. It is one of my fav readings several years ago. when i saw Abarat, I had to give it a try. It is the first book of 4. On first read you may be disappointed (like i was) if you don't realize that. Barker isn't as good as Stanek in setting up a series take a look at kingdoms and elves of the reaches if you don't believe me. he does though have a story to tell. you can tell the next book should be better.Overall, this isn't interesting but not uninteresting, just average. The main character, Candy, is a bored girl who stumbles onto a magical world. i couldn't really tell what the purpose of the adventure was though, what it was for or about. this is mostly a neat concept. i'd rather recommend stanek's book mentioned before. There at least we know what the bored main character, Adrina, wants to do and what her journey is about.	positive

As a consumer, if you buy a piece of electronics you have a reasonable right to expect a manual.Should you talk the time to call support, they will tell you they are sorry and send you to the website to print one. Of course, you better have a color laser printer, as it is 56 pages. Then should you want to keep it in your car where it could actually provide value, please keep in mind that that is 56 pages on 8" x 11" paper.Very disappointing that they felt the need to cut corners in this way.	negative
1	Wonderfull look intot he world of Native American Literature	I was assigned this book as part of a Native American Studies course at California State University Sonoma. I read virtually every poem in this book and went on to read some of the books that this book used excerpts from. My prof. was one of the authors in the book. The poems apart from being good literature were a wonderfull way to gain an insight into how a modern native american views his or her world. The poems speak of schools, gov. problems, conflict of tradition and modern life, and much more, giving a look into a world post people only have a stereotyped view of. If you are interested in poetry this is an excelent book and will be even more enticing if you are interested in Native American Culture as seen by them.	positive

0	A chance for Peace? Not Here!	Dershowitz does not even mention UN RES 194(III) concerning the refugees right of return or compensation. Dershowitz would refuse compensation to the children of the original refugees - (It is the children , of course, who are alive now and who are protesting and blowing themselves up). He would put a 50 year statute of limitations (not 60 years!) on claim of refugees status-and he thinks that would be accepted! He thinks the right of return should not be a personal right of the origanal owner but a collective right so it could be negotiated away by Isreli politicians. He seems to say that the Palestinian refugees and Jewish refugees from Arab countries should both be denied compensation. The Jewish settlors should receive compensation! I wonder who he thinks he can convince of all this? Surely not the Palestinians. I suppose I could go on and on. Well - Good Luck, Alan.	negative

bad.

I don't see why everyone is saying that Madonna came back, and that this is so good. Her title song, "Ray of Light" is stupid, and the sound effects sound like toilets flushing and heaven knows what else. "Frozen" is okay, but it leaves you thinking that maybe she did freeze while singing. Madonna is immoral in many ways, but her latest way is tricking people into buying an album that is nothing but some sounds she didn't even think up with her voice, which has not improved.

Wishful thinker not a realistic one

Rand calls herself a Romantic thinker: idealistic, she wishes that if everybody selfishly did what they wanted than everyone would bargain and trade services and in the end everyone would be happy. If only real life worked that way. You know, even from the playground, that the big bully's rule and that people don't bargain or trade fairly. That is why we had teachers. That is why there are rules and manners so that we do cooperate and work together to build bridges and create products, industries, ball teams. It is a give and take world of stop lights, taxes, and community as well as building your own castle: it's both. Selfishness leads to a lonely sad life: even old Scrooge came to realize that. Most "shocking" unbelievable ideas like Rand's are just that: unbelievable and unrealistic. People don't act like Rand wishes they would--thank God.

Excellent Pad

I bought this pad for my wife for our backpacking trips because I already have one so i felt confident that it would still work well for her as well. Well, it does. It is light, backs tight (when rolled about an 8-10 inch roll). Just took a soggy trip through the rain, and the closed cell constructions is a breeze when it comes to setup time. Just shake and you are ready to go. No worries about air leaking or not expanding correctly when it is cold here. One small complaint...I wish it was a little thicker. But at an inch thick it is adequate. no won is really used to sleeping on the ground anyway.

A double tragedy...

"Out of the Ashes" is a gripping true story of a Jewish female obstetrician who survived the Holocaust, and saved the lives of hundreds of female prisoners, only to be savaged when she finally emigrated to the United States by both a bureaucratic system and latent anti-semitism among the commissioners who reviewed her application for citizenship to enable her to practice here. Difficult to watch at times due to content, despite the fact that it won an Oscar for cinematography, the truth is often tough to swallow. It is the story of a woman who became a doctor over parental objections, who aborted hundreds of women to save them from Nazi extermination, and who survived only to be savaged when she finally made it to the U.S.

doesn't work on bare floors

i did my research and read a lot of good reviews for this vacuum. i really wanted to like it, especially for the price, but it doesn't work on bare floors.i don't have carpet but wanted a good affordable vacuum for the floors and upholstery. i really needed the vacuum to be able to pick up fine particles and sadly, fleas - i'm waging a war on fleas even though my cat stays indoors. it's extremely hot and humid here and fleas just thrive. part of the flea treatment was to sprinkle salt on the floor and vacuum it up. the vacuum didn't pick it up, and just spread it around at high velocity - i could feel the particles hitting my feet and ankles. very disappointing.it seems to work pretty well on upholstery, though to pick up pet hair, you need to use the 'duster' brush and not the upholstery attachment.

Live to Television

This is Culture Club at the peak of their popularity. All the hits from the first two albums are present and the band are in pretty good form. George was never a strong voaclist live but he manages to get by on stage presence and personality as much as anything else.The reason the banter is at a minimum is that this was filmed for (and broadcast live) on Australian television back in - whatever year it was - God I feel old! There was not time for too much banter. There were songs to be sung and and advertising to be squeezed in - although this is not included in the DVD naturally.Fans will have no reason to complain.

Pretty weak

Someone was having a good time fiddling with the special effects, making this appear to be 50s sock hop meets 60s psychedelia. That and some of the laughable outfits (why must overweight women wear tight clothing?) make it pretty weak. Occasionally when the editor gets tired of fiddling, there is some good highlighting of standard box steps. So I wouldn't buy this tape. However... I did like the Webb's 3-video instructional swing tapes. They really teach and do so at a good pace (while the amateurishness of the production provides some good laughs). The only thing to be careful of in their instructional videos is that the "jitterbug" is some sort of two-step. However, we've found that we can "translate" two-step to one-step. We like the Webb's tapes better than Teresa Mason. They aren't as fluid as her and her partner, but they do a significantly better job of teaching.

Great Fun

We got this for my daughters 2nd birthday and she loves it! She has a great time mixing the sand and water and making things from the sand. I like it because she doesn't have to sit in a sand box, she just stands next to it and that makes her a lot less messy! I am really glad I bought it. The only downside, I guess, is that after she plays with it, you have to clean out the water side every time, and it is a little messy with all the wet sand in there. But it's not that big of a deal.

If Pearl Jam really cared about putting out a great live DVD, they should put out something from 1994 or 1995, their Vitolagy tour days.Talk about boring, they don't move around much at all these days, and Eddie Vedder is just a shoe starer these days, not much character to his microphone perfromance.The music sounds pretty bad as well, at least compared with their records.Properly a good idea if they rehearse before going on tour.

Insightful!

In Insurance from Underwriting to Derivaties, Eric Briys and Francois de Varenne, both Deutsche Bank insurance experts, have written a highly technical, albeit readable, book for their professional peers. They discuss property-casualty insurance, risk, securitizing, pricing and liabilities duration in the United States and Europe. However, it will dawn on the casual reader fairly early that there should be an "experts only" label on the book jacket. Even the basic introduction to property-casualty insurance begins with the presentation of complex mathematical models. More daunting models, charts and graphs elucidate information throughout. Insiders will appreciate this data and the extensive footnotes and references. While this may not be a book for the mid-management reader, we assure you, without risk, that its target audience - financial executives and professionals in the insurance industry - will be very glad to have it.

D'Annunzio at his best

This singularly attractive little volume contains four stories by the young D'Annunzio, written in the early 1880s. Three are slight, but 'The Virgins' is a substantial and startling piece of writing, and an important example of late nineteenth-century 'verismo' or realism. It begins by describing in detail the experience of a sick woman slowly recovering from typhus: she responds with a voluptuous intensity to the returning sensations of sight, smell and sound - leading to amorous arousal, rape and death (some readers will find the story lurid and repellent). I know no text that evokes physical sensation so effectively. In other D'Annunzio stories that are equally vivid there tends to be a divorce between the thoughts of the characters and amazingly evocative descriptions that manifestly reflect not their sensibility but that of the author; here the two coincide, and the result is, in my view, D'Annunzio's finest story.

This book was given to me by my nurse practitioner when my first child was born still. It was helpful with the immediate concerns that confront you after your baby dies and before you have time to seek help elswhere. I have re-read it numerous times in these past 2+ years.

Speculation, Hypotheis, and Assumptions!

Crossan, co-founder of the Jesus Seminar, proves in this volume that speculation is fact, Hypothesis is most reliable, and Assumptions should be believed. I have heard Crossan speak on television and read his books, and he clearly communicates a disdain for the reality of a resurrected Jesus that is beyond a metaphorical notion. He stresses faith over reason and I can see why because to believe the nonsense this man kranks out I would have to have a greater faith than I do believing the conservative facts about Christianity. This book is worth reading only to get a better grasp of the "new" twentieth century reconstructionism of the Historical Jesus, other than that it's worthless heresy.

Absurdity

For the love of ... man?If you want to write a scientific article, write a scientific article. If you want to write a tabloid piece, write a tabloid piece. But if you want to conflate the two, with a good dose of genetic determinism and banal social stereotypes thrown in ... well, please don't write at all.Sykes lays the entire history of misogyny on the tender back of a Y chromosome, and then treats its hypothetical demise as some sensational revenge of womankind."Many people would rejoice at the extinction of men," he writes on page 298. His evidence? A solitary, mentally imbalanced woman who once aimed a shot at Andy Warhol.This Boys v. Girls theme makes what could have been an interesting premise an exhausting and immature jaunt into hyperbole.Not to mention all 305 pages could aptly have been communicated in 20.

I purchased "Too Many Frogs" for my 3-year-old nephew/Godson after a friend told me how much her 5-year-old son loved the book. The concept is terrific for kids that have large extended families and many events with family and friends. It demonstrates the benefits of having people that care about you around, even if those people may get on your nerves from time to time. The images are cute and colorful and the story isn't too complex for young children to understand. In today's diverse family dynamics, the storyline is spot-on.

Every FRD book is great except this one!!!

Do not buy this book for your kids, unless you live in an Amish community or somewhere where you know and trust absolutely everyone. The girls befriend an elderly single man and it's quite quaint and nice if it weren't for the horrible reality of our world today. The girls are rewarded and rejoice in befriending a strange man, alone, with no adults present. It is sweet and naive story, a dangerous lesson in our times.

Save your money

Don't be fooled by the author's 'bio' - she spent only a single day at the Scott Peterson trial, getting in via public lottery like everyone else.There's no new information or research here. She read the trial transcripts, then posted on her blog throughout the trial. This 'book' is a printout of her blog entries.Dillon is neither a psychologist, criminologist, lawyer or good writer, for that matter, unless you consider the writing on Hallmark cards to be Shakespearean.Also, consider her thoughts on Hurricane Katrina, although she's now deleted them from her blog:"LORETTA DILLON commented:"Unfortunately, I can't see the future. I do know that bad things happen to bad people, and I do wish that the scum of New Orleans had all drowned in the flood, like an Old Testament purge.I expect most of them survived. Like cockroaches.And they are coming to a city near you."Posted by loretta at September 8, 2005 09:38 AM "

...no way jose

The funny thing is.. I can't even tell you if the game is good or not because you have to register online (otherwise it won't work at all!!) and every time I tried doing that I got the error message "server is unavailable right now - please try again later" hahaha... so every time I tried "again later" I had to start the game from the beginning and watch the intro again and there was no way to skip that. And as far as I read in the description you even have to be online most of the time you are playing to receive hints and emails... bla bla bla.. long story short.. I wouldn't want this game if you would give to me for free... save your money.

Don't waste your money

Ok so if you read my review on the actual detector, you can see I was not find the old deep coins. In theory, a bigger coil is supposed to add some depth so I flipped for the extra money on this bigger coil and got the same results as the 8" coil. I called Bounty Hunter and their web site mentions nothing about extra depth and said the other places selling these should not be advertising that. There is NO gained depth with this bigger coil. I paid good money for nothing. The point of this coil is to cover more area in less time, however that means you are going too fast and missing targets. If you want it for a gain in depth over the standard coil 8" that comes with unit, do not do it. Do not take my word for it, call Bounty Hunter they will tell you the same thing. I am now stuck with an extra coil and gained nothing. Going to save up and just buy a better detector.

Do Not Trust BZB Global

I placed and order with this company and after 1 week I get an email stating that the order is canceled. After talking to Amazon customer service they just said canceled per merchant request. I want to know why! Of course no one can tell me. They also state in the email that my credit card was not charged however the charges were taken out the day the order was placed. They have since been returned but maybe they should not be taken out until they are sure that the order will ship. I am very displeased with this seller and wanted to let other know.

Amazing easy cooking method

I inherted my mom's Romertopf clay baker. She always loved it and it was one of the few things she didn't downsize out of the kitchen in her later years. You cut up and throw in the ingredients like a crockpot. But the great thing is you crank up the oven and it browns everything. It is very easy to use and cook a wide range of meats and vegetables. I bought this one for my sister and she has been cooking away with it.It is surprising easy to clean but just accept that the pot will become stained with each use.

Still a Bond film...

Though not officially part of the James Bond series, and even though it is a rough update of "Thunderball", your 007 collection isn't complete without it. It is currently overpriced to buy on DVD or bluray, as it is out of circulation, but it was well priced to buy through Amazon for instant movies. I watched it in HD through my Xbox 360 on my big screen TV. It ran perfectly. I was happy to see this option as there is no way I was going to overpay for a physical copy. If the price comes back down, I would still buy one though to complete my Bond collection.

worthless as peer-reviewed research

Don't buy it if you expect a learned author with peer-reviewed credentials. This is another one of the bronze-age books written by amateurs with no serious background in archeology or egyptology, whose only credentials are a strong religious bend. The book expounds a thesis with no factual backing.I am very disappointed that no other review pointed this out. If you look for actual facts and serious analysis stay away. This purchase was a total waste. After the first few pages I was too embarassed to read this book in public. The positive ratings for this book are probably "ideological" ratings that rate the book high because it supports a fundamentalist reading of the Bible - in no way do they represent a true rating of this book. Real historians probably know better and don't buy/rate it...

Serrations great for tomatos, but that's it

I bought this to have a very sharp small kitchen knife. I figured that the serrations wouldn't hurt, and would definitely add value with regard to slicing tomatoes. OOPS!The serrations make slicing tomatoes, especially thin skinned very ripe ones, a breeze. Unfortunately, they "catch" on other food actually increasing the work needed to cut. Needless to say, I suppose, is that the stroke used with this knife is a pull (it will not work with a "pressing" action), but for some reason a push stroke doesn't seem as effective.Also note that this knife is physically light weight (good for some, less good for others).I looked at the recommendations for this knife, and some of them seem to be for Kyocera ceramic knives in general, not this specific 5" serrated knife. Do yourself a favor; if you are just purchasing a small sharp kitchen knife, try the regular blade. If you know that you want the serrations, then this knife will be for you.

With Steve & George - How can you go wrong?

Lets face it Steven Speilberg and George Lucas are probably the best team ever in Hollywood film making. These two guys deliver a one two punch that makes their movies lovable, memorable and grand. The "Indy" movies are the epitome of action adventure movies. This DVD set is pretty awesome especially with the additional DVD with extra material. Although I have only seen the last crusade and lost ark so far, I can already tell how sought after this set will be in a few years. I loved the digital mastering. My sound system sounds like I spent several thousand dollars on it when all it is a $800 system. You have to get this for any movie buff. This one will be a collector's item guaranteed. Good luck and happy holidays!What's the deal with the rumor that another Indy adventure may be in the talks?

Thsi volume is far too basic to be of much use beyond a first year Bible college class. For the seminary student or pastor looking for a good reference tool, there are much better New Testament introductions and surveys available. This added nothing to my study of the New Testament.

Cuts well but engine doesn't last

I bought the Poulan Pro 2 Summer's ago, and it ran for most of the season then it started surging and burning oil. I brought it to the local lawnmower repair shop, and he repaired the carburetor, replaced the spark plug and filter. It ran well for the second season. Now it's starting to surge and sputter after one month into the third season. I always run the engine until the fuel runs out before I store it at the end of the season. Would recommend you avoid this model.

Time to take a day job homies.

Look into these souls and what you will see is not rap purists but diabolical cynics. Sure, maintaining the head-to-head MCing tradition of hip-hop if admirable (in a pathetic, get-with-it sort of way) but it's just another angle to sell their bottom drawer wares. This person's a wack MC, that persons a sucka MC - who cares. The music isn't even good enough to be hedonistic; it;s just shallow, harmless fluff that gets old after a short while. perhaps it's their upper-middle class upbringing that deprives them of a point-of-view, but surely their somewhat successful (they did get on Yo! MTV Raps) foray into the rap game has supllied them with one. Maybe they're just too shallow to express one. I just wish they'd express anything besides the fact that people we don't know or care about are wack. Grow up.

Do the Right thing and don't waste your time with this movie.

Instead go buy DO THE RIGHT THING, a film by Spike Lee so you can see a film that deals with these same themes in a far more powerful and impactful way. It won't make you feel good, it won't make you pat yourselfon the back for going to see it, and it won't make you proudly proclaim to your one black friend that you went to see it. Its a film that sparks real conversation not heavy handed sympathy.

an HDMI cable under $10. isn't that what this is about? I still remember the look on an associate's face at a big box store trying to sell me a $60 cable. it was hard not to laugh.I have had no qualms ever with purchasing an off-brand cable. they are so cheap that if it fails after 1 year i do not mind replacing. I think i only have one big brand cable in all my gear and that was a gift.The cable works as expected. the price was right. end of story.

Conversations with God: An Uncommon Dialogue (Book #2)

Awesome Book! I read the entire series of CWG 1, 2 and 3, and I was fascinated by it. It challenges our thoughts about our Soul, our relationship with God, and makes you feel closer to God, because this is not a book about religion, it's God talking straight to us. I have felt an inner peace since reading the series.

an american master

To My Sister; The Heron; No Bird; Elegy for Jane; She; Her Reticence; The Meadow Mouse; and of course, My Papa's Waltz--these are all some of the great poems that Theodore Roethke wrote. Roethke is one of our American masters. I found that when he was on his game (as he was in the poems above, among others) his poetry was phenomenal, but when he wasn't, his poetry could be awful. His earlier work is better than his later work, though he seems to have gotten most of his recognition for his later work. Still, for the poetry lover this is pretty much a required volume for your shelves.

High-school level writing

I read this book at my mother's insistence, and was horribly disappointed--- both in the writing and in my mom's taste in books. The writing style is what I would expect out of the average 17 year old. The author has gone to great pains to create a character that (at least) he feels is unique. The protagonist's distinguishing characteristic is her colorblindness. So what--- it adds absolutely nothing to what little plot there is. This, combined with the character's constant references to her martial arts training are more irritating than anything. Although I hate to put down a book without having finished it, I simply refused to torture myself any longer with Trick of Light.

Spirits of Onion Layers

'Love it or hate it' probably applies to most of the ISB's music; it is a peculiar style of folk music which has a travelly psychy ethnic tinge to it. The songs on this album are brilliantly innocent, sparkling and humorous. One of the first albums by Robin Williamson & Mike Heron, definitely worth a few listens.

Jesus the Miracle Maker

As I was watching this program on ABC, I was reminded of Jesus and the two disciples on the road to Emmaus. After their encounter with Jesus, the disciples said in Luke 24:32 "Did not our hearts burn within us while he talked to us on the road..." That's how I felt. It touched me very deeply, and I was pleased that it remained true to the scriptural texts. What a wonderful surprise on the day in which Christians celebrate the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ!

good art, so-so book

i love Clive Barker's Thief of Always. It is one of my fav readings several years ago. when i saw Abarat, I had to give it a try. It is the first book of 4. On first read you may be disappointed (like i was) if you don't realize that. Barker isn't as good as Stanek in setting up a series take a look at kingdoms and elves of the reaches if you don't believe me. he does though have a story to tell. you can tell the next book should be better.Overall, this isn't interesting but not uninteresting, just average. The main character, Candy, is a bored girl who stumbles onto a magical world. i couldn't really tell what the purpose of the adventure was though, what it was for or about. this is mostly a neat concept. i'd rather recommend stanek's book mentioned before. There at least we know what the bored main character, Adrina, wants to do and what her journey is about.

No Manual

Regardless of what you think of the electronics, consider for a moment that you are about to spend several hundred dollars on a relatively complicated piece of electronic equipment that has several menu layers. Perhaps, the manufacturer would like you to believe that you don't need a manual, but my position is that it should be YOUR choice. As a consumer, if you buy a piece of electronics you have a reasonable right to expect a manual.Should you talk the time to call support, they will tell you they are sorry and send you to the website to print one. Of course, you better have a color laser printer, as it is 56 pages. Then should you want to keep it in your car where it could actually provide value, please keep in mind that that is 56 pages on 8" x 11" paper.Very disappointing that they felt the need to cut corners in this way.

Wonderfull look intot he world of Native American Literature

I was assigned this book as part of a Native American Studies course at California State University Sonoma. I read virtually every poem in this book and went on to read some of the books that this book used excerpts from. My prof. was one of the authors in the book. The poems apart from being good literature were a wonderfull way to gain an insight into how a modern native american views his or her world. The poems speak of schools, gov. problems, conflict of tradition and modern life, and much more, giving a look into a world post people only have a stereotyped view of. If you are interested in poetry this is an excelent book and will be even more enticing if you are interested in Native American Culture as seen by them.

Skip this one

Sorry, Richard, I usually enjoy your books, but this is one of the worst novels I have read in a long time. The twists and turns and inane repetitions of chases and mysterious meetings and people getting killed just as they were going to reveal some useful bit of information grew tiresome very quickly, and the clunky dialogue, wooden characters and plethora of typos certainly didn't help. Still, I stuck with it, hoping that the revelatory twist would make up for everything. Yet, when it came, I--like the beleaguered main character--was justifiably angry at its inanity.

A chance for Peace? Not Here!

Dershowitz does not even mention UN RES 194(III) concerning the refugees right of return or compensation. Dershowitz would refuse compensation to the children of the original refugees - (It is the children , of course, who are alive now and who are protesting and blowing themselves up). He would put a 50 year statute of limitations (not 60 years!) on claim of refugees status-and he thinks that would be accepted! He thinks the right of return should not be a personal right of the origanal owner but a collective right so it could be negotiated away by Isreli politicians. He seems to say that the Palestinian refugees and Jewish refugees from Arab countries should both be denied compensation. The Jewish settlors should receive compensation! I wonder who he thinks he can convince of all this? Surely not the Palestinians. I suppose I could go on and on. Well - Good Luck, Alan.
