0	If you love Trainspotting..	Welsh displays a lot of weaknesses in this book. The plot is extremely contrived, the sex gets boring after a while, and while reading Nikki's parts, it feels like a guy writing from a girl's perspective rather than just the natural flow of the book. Interesting that in Trainpotting he had brilliant parts from the perspective of the young girl Nina and the Waitress and the soup. This time he tries to incorporate a major female character and while not a disaster, it doesn't work too well.Still, if you like Trainspotting, there's no reason not to read Porno. Characters like Spud, Begbie and Mark are irresistible. Almost all the characters from the first book come up again, and things have changed a lot. Leith, Dianne & Mark, Second Prize, Mark's sister-in-law, etc.Speaking of, you must read Trainspotting before this. There are so many subtle connections you will miss.	negative
1	Great book!	Lovely appliqué. I don't use their Piece 'O Cake style of appliqué (I use back basting), but I truly love the patterns.	positive
1	WOnderful dvd	I finally bought this and i am thrilled that i did. Wonderful and outstanding musical performances both by steve perry and ainsly dunbar and neil schon ir truly amazing. The videos really brought back alot of great memories. This truly is a must have dvd for fans of journey.	positive
1	AMAZING PRODUCT	This shampoo was bought for my Old English Sheepdog puppy who had been diagnosed with mites. I had tried other shampoos to provide him some relief, however nothing was working. I received this product very quickly and gave him a bath immediately. He seemed to not want to get out of the tub. It provided immediate relief for him and smells great. It is gentle and I have used it several times since receiving it. Would highly recommend this product to any dog/puppy suffering from itchy skin. It worked miracles for mine and I will definitely be using this product line again!	positive
1	Great Exercises!	Work out is not easy but she does a tremendous job. Twenty minutes is a long time with all the moves to complete.	positive
1	i'm glad I bought	Thank you everyone for the detailed reviews you have given. I'm so glad that I bought it.I only wish water stayed warmer for a longer time. And amazon is great when shipping the items.	positive
1	Tom Browning	September 16, 1988, a day every Reds fan should remember. After a lengthy rain delay, Browning took the mound and threw a perfect game against the Dodgers. This event was the sole reason I purchased this book. Several chapters cover the events leading up to the game and at-bats as the game went on. This was my favorite part of the book. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to know more about Browning's performance and the World Champion 1990 Reds.	positive
0	Disappointing!	I checked this book out of the library and after I had finished I checked the book spine. Lo and behold it was NOT catalogued as a mystery, only fiction. That'll teach me. By the end of page 9 I was expecting a real thriller with a completely different plot twist, but it never happened! The end of "After the Fall" was a total letdown. It was as if Kelman got tired of writing. A pity. It could have been so much better.	negative
0	excruciatingly preposterous, supremely distasteful	The book is so bad it's painful to plow through. How low can you go?	negative
0	Miserable attempt at fantasy	I typically really appreciate a decent fantasy book and will at least sit through mediocre ones, but I couldn't make it through this miserable attempt at a book. The story is written at about a 3rd grade level, but with some uncomfortable sexual tension written in, too. Not uncomfortable in that the characters are uncomfortable, uncomfortable in that you feel bad for the author. I'm sure other reviewers have compared this to seminal works such as Lord of the Rings or Wheel of Time, so I'll just reiterate that you are better off reading those series again instead of reading this first book.However, if you have medical issues and are extremely doped up on narcotic painkillers, this book may be tolerable.The one plus side is the reader for the audiobook is terrific. Made me listen to about 10 hours more than I would have without such a great reader.	negative
0	Complete Waste of Time and Money	My poor dad wasted a whole day trying to get the thing to light up. We finally got it to work and it worked for one night and the next day I tried it and the headlight was out! We could not get it to work again! We took it off and I now have torn up tires on my new bike! The generator was so worn down it left shavings on my bike like an eraser! We are just going to go buy a battery powered one whitch will work fine. So, don't blow you money on this piece of junk! It's a complete waste.	negative
0	Very Slick, But...	Eric believes that evolution is all wrong. So, this book's content teaches that the dinosaurs coexisted with humans.There are some people who think differently. In fact, most people think differently.If you are someone who believes evolution exists, you might be put off Christianity because of the content of this book and Eric's message.But don't fret, Eric's view is just Eric's view, even though he thinks he got that view from the Bible.The fact is, the Bible teaches that God made everything that exists.If you think evolution exists, then the Bible is telling you that God made it.You CAN be a Christian and accept evolution, Big Bang, Old Earth, Quantum Mechanics and anything else that people might think exists- As long as you accept God made everything that exists.If evolution exists, God made it.	negative
0	just bad	Okay, this book even started off bad. i can't and won't finish it because it's so typical of all romance novels. I feel bad because Sandra Brown is not a bad author, she has the ability to write a good book. I am not one of her biggest fans and I don't search out her work, but the couple I have listened to were pretty good, unfortunately this book is not one of them.Skip this unless you just like the typical, silly romance novel.	negative
1	Excellent Album	This is an excellent album, not only because Dee Dee is a fantastic singer, but also because she was able to provide some of the first vocal versions of many of the tunes. Nica's Dream is amazing with vocal precision most singers fall short of delivering. Lonely Woman is haunting and melodic. Overall, this is a fantastic album.	positive
0	Doesnt' keep content hot as advertised!!!	I purhcased this tumbler 2 weeks ago. It arrived timely but does not keep coffee any hotter for any longer than an insulated one I purcased from Starbucks. On the other hand, the Starbucks cup cost me more ($19.99) so this was slightly cheaper. I am providing this review because the whole reason I purhcased this cup was the claim to keep contents hot for 3+ hours. I kept the contents hot for 1 hour, then lukewarm for another hour, but by 3 hours it was undrinkable. i have gone back to using the Starbucks one.	negative
0	Very pleased so far--UPDATED; NOT PLEASED	I've had these bulbs installed above my tortoise enclosures for about two weeks now. They are much brighter than the Exo Terra lights I had previously. This is my first attempt at using Zoo Med lights and I like them so far. My tortoises seem to enjoy basking under them as well. Right now I have them in a normal inustrial clamp style lamp from a big box store. However, I will be buying theZoo Med Combo Deep Dome Dual Lamp Fixturefor theZoo Med ReptiCare Ceramic Infrared Heat Emitter 150 WattsI have.Update 10/29/12: After less than 4 months of having these lights on a 12-hour daily timer they have both burnt out. I've never had a reptile light last so short of time. I would not recommend this light. I will be order two of these:Exo Terra Repti-Glo 10.0 Compact Fluorescent Desert Terrarium Lamp, 26-Watt. It only merrits 1 star and that would be soley based on it's price point.	negative
0	I could barely get through this book.	I think the only reason I finished this book is so that I could write a review of it in it's entirety. Well, that and my mother really loved it--so I wanted to see what she found so riveting! I have NO IDEA what kind of a person Chris Paget is. I don't know what's so lovable about Teresa Peralta. I did not want to know about the part of Caroline the lawyer's life that she kept private. Can characters be less than one dimensional? If they can't, I think Mr. Patterson has invented something new. I didn't like this book. I didn't like it. I didn't like it. There, I got that off my chest.	negative
1	Thunder Cave	Have you ever lost a loved one? If so, then you know what Jacob Lansa feels like after his mom is hit by a car.After her funeral, Jacob makes plans to go to Kenya, where his father works as a field biologist. Once there, Jacob is robbed, beaten, nearly burned to death and captured by poachers as he tries with a Maasai man named Supeet to try and stop the drought and save the elephants. An overall good book, with a 1st person viewpoint. I enjoyed it,but, I think the reading level should at least be a 6.0.	positive
0	Twice Defective	I purchased the Behringer electric guitar package for my 11 year old son's birthday. The first guitar arrived defective. The fret bars extend (just slightly) from the edges of the fret board causing my son's had to be cut when playing. I had a musician look at the guitar to verify that the guitar was in fact defective. I returned the guitar and all of it's accessories to the Target store. I oredered another guitar package thinking, "What are the chances two guitars would be defective?" The second guitar arrived....SAME PROBLEM! My son and I were very dissappointed. I have purchased many things from Amazon.com and have always been please. Sadly enough, that was not the case with this guitar. I wouldn't recommend this product to anyone. Additionally, it is a safety hazzard for children and Behringer should take it off the marked until the problem is resolved.	negative
1	Exactly the product I needed	I had broken my Braun carafe in my last move. The replacement carafe was exactly what I needed, shipped very promptly and a lot cheaper than buying a whole new coffee maker. Very pleasant shopping experience!	positive
0	Poor phone	I live in a moderate to a desolate area in distance from a tower. This phone will not connect when indoors. I tried a mobile antenna on the roof and find the only adapter is a velcro connection that absolutely gives nothing for $15. My old basic Nokia did a pretty good hookup with a mechanical earphone style hookup..I'm looking for a good basic phone, loud ringtones and plug in style antenna.larry@brainerd.net	negative
0	Stay Away From This Disc	The first disc I bought skipped on all my CD players. The exchanged copy did the same thing but in different places.	negative
0	Very Scary	I skimmed through this book at a friend's place and was absolutely disgusted. I can't believe anyone could read this piece of junk and believe a word the author says. I totally agree with JP Goodwin's appraisal a) if he really did some of the things he says he did he should be in jail and b)that it is part sleazy bio and part propoganda and part hit piece on people he doesn't like.	negative
0	They could do better than this.	I was very disappointed when I got this game for my birthday and after we played a few times we realized that these cards have duplicate questions. You'll see the same questions over and over and they are the exact same questions. There is only one box of questions, so it doesn't take long to learn the answers. Very disappointing - I wouldn't recommend it for this price.	negative
0	TERRIBLE WASTE OF MONEY	If your a serious prankster then DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK. The majority of the stuff in here are things that were probably funny back in the 1800's. I bought this book thinking id have a arsenal of new pranks but was severely dissapointed. Whoever reviewed this and gave it 5 stars was way off. Trust me, find something more updated because this book is not. TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY!!!!! If anyone has any idea were i can get a decent prank book, by all means let me know.	negative
0	Does not work with Toshiba 15LV 505 that Amazon recommends to use with.	The Toshiba 15LV 505 [ASIN:B001DZJVO2 Toshiba 15LV505 15.6-Inch Widescreen LCD TV with Built-in DVD Player (Black)] that I bought from Amazon (which is great) does not have VESA connection for this wall mount (VideoSecu MLB)yet Amazon recommended it to use with this TV set. Apparently the 15LV 505 is really not wall mountable. I wanted it on my kitchen wall about 7 inches off the counter top to free up space but now I can't.	negative
1	Good Cordless Broom	Not a bad price. I mostly bought this for the two extra batteries. I have the weed eater/trimmer and sometimes two batteries just are not enough to get everything trimmed. But one batteries is plenty for the cordless broom and it does a good job of blowing the grass off the driveway and sidewalk.	positive
0	Am I missing something?	I have read all the glowing reviews for this book and I wonder what I'm missing. I couldn't even finish this book. It was so fragmented - just wanted to read a good story! This book was the Today show pick for the month and I thought it would be a good read, but I really did not like it at all. I am an avid reader but this book left me cold.	negative
1	Worth every penny!	I bought this CD on the day it was released. I love NSYNC more than any other music I've ever heard. It's not so much the songs that get to me, as it is their voices and how wonderful they sound together. They could sing anything, even turn the worst song into something BETTER than great. I am 30 years old, and I'm absolutely nuts over these men. I consider them to be the absolute best performers in the world, and to people of ALL ages, not just teenyboppers. If you are thinking twice about purchasing this CD, fear not, for you will be singing along with them for each and every song. They ARE worth every penny!	positive
1	Rainy Day indoor fun	Kept my grandkids happy for a good while inside on rainy days. Burns off some energy. We kept a running tally which made it more interesting. Unfortunately they have outgrown it now.	positive
0	sphygmomanameter	This may be an adult sphygmomanometer, but it is for a small person. This does not fit my husband, for which it was bought for. He needs a large. This does us no good.	negative
1	Not your mom's Oz	We read this in our book club and we all agreed this was a winner. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because I felt the ending was rushed. Otherwise this was a fabulous journey into the life of a woman who has put fear in the hearts of small children everywhere. Maguire demystifies the world of Oz and humanizes Elphaba,(the Witch). We also learn why Glinda wore that hideous puffy dress to Munchkinland when the Witch of the East died.This book is sensuous, philosophical, satirical, and catty. Some parts will make you laugh out loud and some parts may make you reconsider your stance on animal rights. You will definitely reconsider any preconceptions you had about the Witches of OZ, the Wizard and "heroic" little Dorothy. Definitely recommended. If you can find a rainy weekend to read the whole thing through, go for it! Caution; beware of saffron cream cravings.	positive
1	Just one of those albums.	I can pop this album in, press play, and never have the desire to skip a song. It's just one of those albums, like Revolver or Toys in the Attic. J.D. Crowe plays a mean bannjo, and Tony Rice has a great voice and is one of the best flatpickers in bluegrass.	positive
0	Lacked the Sizzle!	I felt that this book was lacking in the sizzle that it spoke about on the back cover of the book. The hero is supposed to be the stripper Lord Sin and no one is aware of this? I found that very unbelievable and thought the whole book was too predictable. The heroine, who is an intelligent journalist who is determined to unmask Lord Sin, does not seem to be able to put two and two together and come up with four. No instead she is confused at her attraction for two different men. I would say this is an ok read if you have nothing better to do.	negative
1	History as We Haven't Seen It	I can hardly wait to own these DVDs! I've watched the HBO series over and over and see or hear something every time that I missed in previous viewings. This series is rich in historical detail, drama, and humor. I can't vouch for the historical accuracy, but I have great respect for David McCullough, on whose book the series is based, and trust that he and the series are true to the...well, the truth. I am grateful to Tom Hanks for his vision and tenacity in bringing these stories to us in such a pleasurable way. Now, how about the Thomas Jefferson story in a similar fashion?	positive
1	Always Interesting	Great cover, Great CD. Not a fan of remasters. Give me the original everytime. This album and Lefoverture are must have Kansas albums. I like all of their stuff. Always interesting. Excellent musicians, lyrics, voices, (not as much now) Great band. Well worth delving into if you're not familiar.	positive
1	Going back to Bisbee	Maybe you can't go home again, but vicarious can get me to Bisbee. Sent immediately, in great condition. Thanks	positive
0	Quit dissapointed	It looks new and is an Enegizer battery, although the packaging is not as shown, and looks old.I would not recommend it unless you don't actually have time or you are lazy to go to the shop.	negative
0	only worked for some channels	I bought this product because I saw how welll it worked for a friend. At my house, however, regardless of how I positioned the antenna or where I moved the tv, I could not get good reception on more than one local channel.	negative
1	Rush,,straight up....	This is one of the best concert dvd's I've seen, and certainly the best of Rush's releases. It's about Rush and their performance. It is not about how 'creative' some idiot producer thinks he is when he cuts from one camera to another every second as some I've seen. It shows you camera angles from all over, upclose, and one on the Atlanta disk I 'm watching now that seems to be from the back row of the amphitheatre. If you want to know what it's like to see Rush, buy a ticket next time. For a most reasonable facsimile thereof, buy this DVD. If you're like me and you just love these guys and can't wait till next time, BUY THIS DVD.THANK YOU ALEX NEIL AND GEDDY.	positive
0	Great Movie but UltraViolet is horrible and needs to be replaced with an iTunes copy	Another great movie in the Sherlock Holmes series but horrible choice for the Digital Copy. I want to use iTunes which you allowed for the first Sherlock Holmes movie.I will give the movie a better review if you get rid of UltraViolet.	negative
1	What can I say, this rules!!	I just got this cd a couple of days ago, & I hadn't gone a day without listening to it. If you just know this band from hearing them at a club (like in my case) & can't get enuff of them there, you won't get enuff of them still from this cd. There's not a bad song in sight. And it's great to see they can go from the powerful tracks like "Dominion/Mother Russia" & "This Corrosion" to slower ones like "1959". I hear a lot of Peter Murphy influences in Eldritch's vocals, so if you like Bauhaus, you'll like this band too, if your new to them.	positive
0	BEWARE product and return policy	I bought this for my son to keep in his room. After playing a CD ONE TIME, the player would no longer play any CD. I got the player ready to return and then saw the return policy for the RECORDING STORE - I had three days from original delivery to return it. Unfortunately, I had missed the deadline - I was on summer vacation for four days when it was delivered, I took a day to pull it out of the package, two days to realize that the player was actually defective (not user error) and we were out of range of returning it according to the company. I strongly recommend that you look at a more established brand of player and buy from a company that has a less draconian return policy. I bought a Sony from Best Buy and am very pleased now.	negative
0	Bad Card	Card was defective right out of the package. I did not opt to have another sent should have know I would once again receive another defective electronic device form Amazon or one of their associated partners who sell electronics on Amazon. Every single thing I ordered was either returned for refund or exchange.	negative
0	Need more cussing	Hey Tom I think you need to use the F word or GD a little more. Every other sentence was just not enough. Normally I can read a Clancy book in 3 days. The last 2 I have had to make myself finish. This one should have gone straight to paper back.......	negative
0	Terrible	I did not like this book at all, it just went on and on...it bored me to near death! I don't recomend it unless you want a sleeper!	negative
0	Worst book adaptation EVER!	If you have read the series of books you will be disappointed! There are many things missing and there are thing that are not suppose to be there. If you like the Percy Jackson series, please buy-cut this movie!!!!	negative
1	It works, Updated November 2006	I have to say that I was impressed with the animal. We have two dogs a bird and two kids so there is plenty to pick up. I have always had commercial type vacs that are heavy but do the job ok. This vac works extremely well. No bags no mess just results. Doing the stairs was actually very easy. We have 80% wall to wall but this worked just as well on bare floors too. It is worth it so far. My $.02It STILL WORKS!!!	positive
1	Good Movie	This movie was excellent, but more aimed at men's humor. The cinematography was done at a higher quality than I was expecting...there was thought put into scenes and shots and editing. It was not just a delivery method of nonstop potty humor.	positive
0	Don't buy this game	This game stinks. The graphics stink, the gameplay is unrealistic, and there is very little to do in the game. Don't waste your money like I did. If you want to snowboard buy ESPN X-Games Pro Boarder or Boarder Zone.	negative
0	Worst product/customer service, ever!	The software that runs this product is full of bugs and DirectTv does not know when the problems will be fixed. This has been going on with our service for nearly a year. Run away!	negative
0	Poor quality Switch	Died today after under 2 years of service. That's pretty terrible for a basic piece of equipment. I have switches from 15 years ago that still work fine.Had to reset the switch fairly often(every 4 months or so). Drove me nuts making me think our DSl modem or Cisco router was buggy. Would work for a while and then just stop passing traffic.Buy from someone else.	negative
1	Don't leave your house and SAVE money!	Great way to save a couple bucks. Whenever this item is on sale (less than 50$) buy it, get your codes, enter the codes in you Xbox live account, which you can do right on the XboxLive Site/redeem page and it will add the time to whatever your end date is.	positive
0	A less than stellar DVD	First off the Director's Cut blatantly disregards most of the book especially at the end. But since I am inclined to base my rating on the DVD itself, I'll not count that against it. My big complaint with Bladerunner is that the movie was released with two versions and only one is present on the DVD. Thus, the viewer is forced to watch the Director's Cut. The DVD is also a little shy on extras. The movie itself isn't too bad, although its pace is a tad slower than many other good science fiction movies and may cause many viewers to become bored. I suggest holding off on purchasing this DVD as it is rumored to be scheduled for re-release around December of this year. Hopefully the new release will have both versions of the film and the additional extras such a famous film deserves	negative
0	Doesn't work with my iMac	This memory matches the specs for my iMac (2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo) but doesn't work with it.	negative
1	Works great!	This thing works great. End of story. Plug it in, set the station and go. Initially I had a little static but it was due to my audio source (mp3 player). I turned the volume on my mp3 player down a few notches away from the max and the static completely disappeared.	positive
0	horendous	MY REVIEWGames~ 3/10 DS has really bad games our right now, the only good ones are the poker ones, we all like a freindly game of cards dont we??Game quality~ 4/10 Games can be beaten in about twenty minutes, and who says they cant fit more game data on a UMD than a cartridge, you no you are wrong so just admit it.Geek features~ 4/10 WiFi and pictochat, thats it. Pictochat is pretty cool but the WiFi stinks ive seen samples of it and since the DS doesnt even have a main menu you it will be pretty awkward.Hmmmmm........4+4+3=11 11/3=about 3.6 so 3.6= 1.8 stars. Ill still give it a oneBy the way im not sony fanboy I just want people to get it straight.	negative
1	Writing so beautiful that you can feel the room get colder	I find myself reading and rereading this book every few years. The prose and writing is amazing. It's even more powerful because this is not a genre I usually read or like, but Helprin's writing makes me forget about my biases and enjoy this telling story.The writing is so good that I pick up this book in the summer time when the temperature rises to sweltering heights. Just the description of the roof top snows and wintery sleigh rides makes the room feel colder.This is my favorite book and I recommend it to everyone I know.	positive
0	Rehash, but......	The collection stops in 1987 because this is a Mercury/Polygram product. Rush went to Atlantic after A Show of Hands. If you don't own any Rush, this, The Retrospectives I and II, Spirit of Radio or Chronicles are good best of, sort of collections. Rush have bashed Chronicles, but for a while it was the only CD version available of Passage To Bangkok, but I digress. They were involved in the art for SoR, and song selection and art for the Retrospectives. Given that the friendly Rush forum (RIP Trinet) died, I've no idea on this one. As any devout Rush fan would tell you, however, don't you want to buy all the Rush albums? You do, really...start in the era you like and buy a couple...Rush is best experienced by album....What? It's only money for 18ish CDs......	negative
0	Fans can never be objective...	When you have this long a wait between albums you expect years of artistic pile-up to be whittled down to a fantastic come back CD. Instead, Bob took bits a pieces of old stuff, rehashed it into a new song titles and subtracted some of that old time rock and roll. It just leaves nothing to soothe the soul. YAWN.	negative
0	Haven't lasted long....	This space heater is easy to use, heats up quickly and was quiet....qualities I loved.The down side is we've had two of the exact same ones and each one broke down. We only used it in the evenings in a spare bedroom in the colder months (so NOT running all the time). After buying two....and having them no longer heat we're on to another brand. Buyer beware or be sure to keep up with the warrantee and paperwork to be sure to get your money back.	negative
1	funny little book	Parcells' wit and humor as quoted through the years. Takes about twenty minutes to read cover to cover, yet there are a large number of funny quotes and stories.	positive
1	quite jingle jangle troubadour	good new album from tom petty without heartbreakers.a taste of honey but lyrics not too optimistic about life on the road and music business. the melodies are sublime, a touch of beatles and two touch of dylan, the better dylan. petty is fine observer and tough rocker, the musicof highway companion is a breeze in a hot summer night, his vision of music world is the reflection of a man that has lived all the good and all the bad of the rock n'roll over his skin. Full of maturity, wise and ironic and relaxing too, with great harmonies and airy guitars, highway companion is the best friend of the summer of 2006.MAURO ZAMBELLINI	positive
1	Great text for 18th Century Counterpoint	The Benjamin has a composers' viewpoint more than other counterpoint texts I've used. He speaks (well) to aspects such as rhythm and shape of line in each chapter, never sacrificing the other musical parameters to the all-too-common primacy of pitch. There is a useful balance of prose to musical examples.Benjamin includes linear analyses of several examples. This provides a solid introduction to Schenkarian concepts for lower-division students, and yet they can easily be skipped by those who prefer.This text has a satisfactory anthology of JS Bach pieces at the back. This is important at schools where textbook budgets for most students are slim.I have yet to use the last few chapters in my one-semester course, but in a year-long sequence, they would be welcome.	positive
0	Battery won't hold charge at all.	When i first got the phone, the directions stated to charge each phone for 12 hours before use. So I did just that. For the first few months we noticed that the phones would die if you left it off the base for more than an hour. After about 6 months, we lost one of the phones in the couch for awhile, found it, and put it back on the charger but it won't come back on at all now. After a year we only have one handset that will charge but you can only talk for about 20-30 min before it dies. This is by far the worst product I have ever purchased. I will never purchase another vtech product as long as I live. I don't care if it is a vtech door stopper; I just do not trust their products anymore.	negative
1	Perfect for the beginner studying the Tarot.	I absolutely adore Ms Morrison's writing and books, so I was very excited when I finally ordered this and got it in the mail. I was never very familiar with the Tarot before I read this, and after reading this, I feel that I have a much greater grasp of it. Her writing style is to the point and friendly without being too aggressively-friendly, which makes it easy to follow and charming to read. Her meditations with each card are treasured, and the spells are varied and simple to use. She also gives personal stories about her experiences with the Tarot, which help the reader (especially the beginner) to relieve any fears or doubts that they might have. Although it isn't the "most definitive" text on the Tarot out there, it is certainly one not to be missed.	positive
0	Short Life	I bought this thing because I lost a memory mod to a power surge. It worked fine at first but now it has no battery life. Recently the power went out and my computer shut off immediately - like it was not on a backup at all. Of course the alarm was still screaming but so what - my computer was already shut off without any warning. I had this thing for two years but I will be going with a different brand next time.	negative
1	Knit and Crochet Aid	Purchased this for my knitting girlfriends and for myself. My only complaint is it is almost too small. I write in mine in pencil so it can be erased and reused. It is handy in that it fits in your purse when you are shopping and there is space to record all the needle and hook sizes you own so you don't accidentally buy something you already have.	positive
0	Works as is, but not with Sveasoft	In spite of reliability problems with previous Linksys routers, I bought this one because the WRT54G was supported by Sveasoft. Now it turns out that I was shipped the V5 version of this router which has been modified to NOT run this popular, powerful, inexpensive firmware. This was NOT mentioned in the product listing.I can't imagine what motive Linksys had for this, since they don't get revenue from their own firmware. It just seems like a downgrade for no reason.Two stars rather than 1, because it did work right out of the box without problems.	negative
0	Coles notes version of another self help book	I have been studying Dr. Abraham Low's "Mental Health Through Will Training," which is along the same lines as this book by Dr. Claire Weekes, which I just recently read. I find Dr. Low's book superior because it is more detailed, gives far more examples and more self help techniques. I am also a member of Dr. Low's Recovery Inc meetings, which have been a big help. The book by Dr. Weekes is ok if you are looking for a summary type book; for a "full length" version minus any religious references, go with Dr. Low.	negative
0	Biased and untruthful	It's amazing some reviewers here refer to Quinn as an expert. I don't see CFP, ChFC, CLU, or JD next to her name. The information in this book on pension maximization and insurance is criminally misleading. It's funny how people who cannot have sucessful financial planning practices write books.	negative
1	Certainly the place to start-- the very best survey	I read this in its original 1967 edition when I was very young, and it inspired a life-long love of horror films (at that time the Science Fiction content was not in the title, though it was found in the book). Clarens' effort is clear and concise-- not too much on any one thing, but he manages to hit all the necessarys and high spots. It's really indispensible for the fan who's starting out in a serious study of the subject-- or who just loves horror.	positive
1	MC2 & JDOG puttin' down some sick shit	This CD was better than I'd hoped it was gonna be. I bought it after hearing the song "Smokers Club" w/ B-Lynch and Mr. Doctor, and found the CD that song was from. MC2 & JDOG are both really sick, I like their style, the beats are pretty sick on most of the tracks. I really like this CD, and you can get it for like $6 brand new now on Amazon or Ebay, so pick it up!Oh yea, and on the last track there is a hidden song that is real sick, so don't miss it!H.BIZZLE!	positive
1	The Saucy Sisters Guide to WIine	A delightful read. Beverly and Barbara teach you a lot about wine with a wonderful saucy style. Recommend this book for women of every age. Read mine while sipping champagne in front of the fire while my husband was experiencing March Madness. Am giving a copy of this to another friend for her birthday. Think this book is a great gift item for any lady.	positive
1	A Gem	I first heard of Turin Brakes from a O.C. soundtrack album, and decided to look for their cd. This album is a classic. At the end of the cd, the last track Rain City, if you listen to the last song and let it play to about 12 minutes, a bonus song plays, it's awesome.	positive
0	not what they promised	I bought this book thinking that it would show me tabbed songs by all of the bands on the cover. Instead it shows a couple of trademark riffs by each band. The rest talks about the band and it's history. Interesting book but not what it is marketed as.	negative
0	Buy Christy Lane's Dance DVD instead	Molly & Roni's Dance Party was the only '50s/'60s dance DVD that many different searches found. It only shows one dance. Through an oldies music website, I found a link to Christy Lane. Her DVD is much, much better and covers 10-12 dances from the '50s and '60s, as well as many others from the '70s and '80s.	negative
1	A sobering documentary	Bowling for columbine is another proof of micheal moore's talent in filmaking. The film is an interesting and sobering look at gun control and the state of our society. Moore manages to provoke alot of thought throughout the film on the way the United States is as a society and how we love our guns. The film manages to be very interesting and at times funny but it does not stray away from the sobering truth of the chaotic state of gun crime in the US. The film may not be as gripping as other micheal moore films such as Farhenheit 9/11 but it certainly comes close.	positive
1	DVD?	I remember when I was little I loved to watch, "Monster Squad" over and over and over. Not only should the production company re-release this movie in VHS format, but in DVD format as well.

0	Misleading Technical Support	I purchased my first Nomad for my wife 12/2000. We had problems with the battery charger, but because of some personal issues, didn't return within 90 days. When I contacted technical support, they said they had worked out the problems with the batteries, but that because I was out of warrenty, I would be better off buying a new one as they would charge me ... to repair, even if it was something simple.Because I liked the concept of the Nomad I purchased another. The batteries did work a little better this time, for a while, but now (again past the 90 days) I am getting very little battery life again. I assume I am stuck with a unit that only plays plugged in.I bought it for my wife to walk with........Oh, well.	negative
1	Lisa Kleypas "The Wallflowers" Series	"The Wallflower" Series by Lisa Kleypas includes 4 novels. All four were very enjoyable. I couldn't pick a favorite. They were all books that you just didn't want to put down. I highly recommend them and think that they are four of her best books.	positive

0	New MFC classes are not even mentioned	For a C++ programmer, who is new to Visual C++ 6, but not to C++, this book is quite useless. The new MFC classes, such as CMonthCalCtrl or CDateTimePicker, are not even mentioned in the book, so don't look for them. The dialog chapter (Chapter 17) seems to be recycled from previous versions of the book, with new screen shots inserted instead of the old ones, but the rest just covering basics that any C++ programmer doesn't need to be taught. I think a much better book is SAMS Teach Yourself Visual C++6 in 21 days. At least it has all classes and members functions indexed.	negative

1	Non-fiction by the Fiction guy	Grisham writes non-fiction about a wornlgly accused Yankee Baseball player accused of murder. If anything the book proves that even in the best circumstances, the innocent can be falsely acussed against all checks and balances. This book, because its trues, lacks the Grisham descriptive, so thats the risk of this book being written and being read by a grisham fan. It works, but I do not declare it his top 5 peices of work. Falls somewhere middle area.	positive
1	Great info, horrible design	There's a lot of indispensable information in this book, but it's amazing how ugly and bad the design is. The margins are about 1/4 inch on all sides (resulting in very crammed text) and some of the graphics are blurred & illegible. I realize that design is usually a matter of taste, but in the case of this book it really hampers its readability and usefulness.	positive
1	Another great "Royal Diaries" novel	"Marie Antoinette: Princess of Versailles" was a great fictional diary of this young princess, in her difficult lifestyle.Maria Antonia of Austria lives with her wealthy, royal family, when she hears that she is to be married - to the future king of France! She spends a busy time learning French, pages and pages of French etiquette, posing for portraits, being fitted for gowns, and trying to stop acting like the girl she is. Then she leaves for France, and doesn't know what to expect...This was a great book that really makes you feel for and understand Marie Antoinette, who later became such a terrible ruler. I'd recommend this for ages 11 and up, and I'd also definitely recommend the other Royal Diaries books.	positive

Each of these workouts flow with one another and having the box set means less money and you can follow through with the total workout. I love this series because they are a are fun to do, combining dance, yoga, weights, and Pilates to give you a challenging full body workout that doesn't stress out your body. These tapes are set up so that if you don't have a lot of time to workout, you can just do one section and you will still sweat. You can also mix and match certian routines to keep your workout interesting. I would recomend these tapes for anyone who is tired of repitition workouts and who are ready to have fun and be creative while sweating away.	positive

If you love Trainspotting..

Welsh displays a lot of weaknesses in this book. The plot is extremely contrived, the sex gets boring after a while, and while reading Nikki's parts, it feels like a guy writing from a girl's perspective rather than just the natural flow of the book. Interesting that in Trainpotting he had brilliant parts from the perspective of the young girl Nina and the Waitress and the soup. This time he tries to incorporate a major female character and while not a disaster, it doesn't work too well.Still, if you like Trainspotting, there's no reason not to read Porno. Characters like Spud, Begbie and Mark are irresistible. Almost all the characters from the first book come up again, and things have changed a lot. Leith, Dianne & Mark, Second Prize, Mark's sister-in-law, etc.Speaking of, you must read Trainspotting before this. There are so many subtle connections you will miss.

AMAZING PRODUCT

This shampoo was bought for my Old English Sheepdog puppy who had been diagnosed with mites. I had tried other shampoos to provide him some relief, however nothing was working. I received this product very quickly and gave him a bath immediately. He seemed to not want to get out of the tub. It provided immediate relief for him and smells great. It is gentle and I have used it several times since receiving it. Would highly recommend this product to any dog/puppy suffering from itchy skin. It worked miracles for mine and I will definitely be using this product line again!

Tom Browning

September 16, 1988, a day every Reds fan should remember. After a lengthy rain delay, Browning took the mound and threw a perfect game against the Dodgers. This event was the sole reason I purchased this book. Several chapters cover the events leading up to the game and at-bats as the game went on. This was my favorite part of the book. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to know more about Browning's performance and the World Champion 1990 Reds.

Disappointing!

I checked this book out of the library and after I had finished I checked the book spine. Lo and behold it was NOT catalogued as a mystery, only fiction. That'll teach me. By the end of page 9 I was expecting a real thriller with a completely different plot twist, but it never happened! The end of "After the Fall" was a total letdown. It was as if Kelman got tired of writing. A pity. It could have been so much better.

Miserable attempt at fantasy

I typically really appreciate a decent fantasy book and will at least sit through mediocre ones, but I couldn't make it through this miserable attempt at a book. The story is written at about a 3rd grade level, but with some uncomfortable sexual tension written in, too. Not uncomfortable in that the characters are uncomfortable, uncomfortable in that you feel bad for the author. I'm sure other reviewers have compared this to seminal works such as Lord of the Rings or Wheel of Time, so I'll just reiterate that you are better off reading those series again instead of reading this first book.However, if you have medical issues and are extremely doped up on narcotic painkillers, this book may be tolerable.The one plus side is the reader for the audiobook is terrific. Made me listen to about 10 hours more than I would have without such a great reader.

Complete Waste of Time and Money

My poor dad wasted a whole day trying to get the thing to light up. We finally got it to work and it worked for one night and the next day I tried it and the headlight was out! We could not get it to work again! We took it off and I now have torn up tires on my new bike! The generator was so worn down it left shavings on my bike like an eraser! We are just going to go buy a battery powered one whitch will work fine. So, don't blow you money on this piece of junk! It's a complete waste.

Very Slick, But...

Eric believes that evolution is all wrong. So, this book's content teaches that the dinosaurs coexisted with humans.There are some people who think differently. In fact, most people think differently.If you are someone who believes evolution exists, you might be put off Christianity because of the content of this book and Eric's message.But don't fret, Eric's view is just Eric's view, even though he thinks he got that view from the Bible.The fact is, the Bible teaches that God made everything that exists.If you think evolution exists, then the Bible is telling you that God made it.You CAN be a Christian and accept evolution, Big Bang, Old Earth, Quantum Mechanics and anything else that people might think exists- As long as you accept God made everything that exists.If evolution exists, God made it.

just bad

Okay, this book even started off bad. i can't and won't finish it because it's so typical of all romance novels. I feel bad because Sandra Brown is not a bad author, she has the ability to write a good book. I am not one of her biggest fans and I don't search out her work, but the couple I have listened to were pretty good, unfortunately this book is not one of them.Skip this unless you just like the typical, silly romance novel.

Excellent Album

This is an excellent album, not only because Dee Dee is a fantastic singer, but also because she was able to provide some of the first vocal versions of many of the tunes. Nica's Dream is amazing with vocal precision most singers fall short of delivering. Lonely Woman is haunting and melodic. Overall, this is a fantastic album.

Doesnt' keep content hot as advertised!!!

I purhcased this tumbler 2 weeks ago. It arrived timely but does not keep coffee any hotter for any longer than an insulated one I purcased from Starbucks. On the other hand, the Starbucks cup cost me more ($19.99) so this was slightly cheaper. I am providing this review because the whole reason I purhcased this cup was the claim to keep contents hot for 3+ hours. I kept the contents hot for 1 hour, then lukewarm for another hour, but by 3 hours it was undrinkable. i have gone back to using the Starbucks one.

Very pleased so far--UPDATED; NOT PLEASED

I've had these bulbs installed above my tortoise enclosures for about two weeks now. They are much brighter than the Exo Terra lights I had previously. This is my first attempt at using Zoo Med lights and I like them so far. My tortoises seem to enjoy basking under them as well. Right now I have them in a normal inustrial clamp style lamp from a big box store. However, I will be buying theZoo Med Combo Deep Dome Dual Lamp Fixturefor theZoo Med ReptiCare Ceramic Infrared Heat Emitter 150 WattsI have.Update 10/29/12: After less than 4 months of having these lights on a 12-hour daily timer they have both burnt out. I've never had a reptile light last so short of time. I would not recommend this light. I will be order two of these:Exo Terra Repti-Glo 10.0 Compact Fluorescent Desert Terrarium Lamp, 26-Watt. It only merrits 1 star and that would be soley based on it's price point.

I could barely get through this book.

I think the only reason I finished this book is so that I could write a review of it in it's entirety. Well, that and my mother really loved it--so I wanted to see what she found so riveting! I have NO IDEA what kind of a person Chris Paget is. I don't know what's so lovable about Teresa Peralta. I did not want to know about the part of Caroline the lawyer's life that she kept private. Can characters be less than one dimensional? If they can't, I think Mr. Patterson has invented something new. I didn't like this book. I didn't like it. I didn't like it. There, I got that off my chest.

Have you ever lost a loved one? If so, then you know what Jacob Lansa feels like after his mom is hit by a car.After her funeral, Jacob makes plans to go to Kenya, where his father works as a field biologist. Once there, Jacob is robbed, beaten, nearly burned to death and captured by poachers as he tries with a Maasai man named Supeet to try and stop the drought and save the elephants. An overall good book, with a 1st person viewpoint. I enjoyed it,but, I think the reading level should at least be a 6.0.

Twice Defective

I purchased the Behringer electric guitar package for my 11 year old son's birthday. The first guitar arrived defective. The fret bars extend (just slightly) from the edges of the fret board causing my son's had to be cut when playing. I had a musician look at the guitar to verify that the guitar was in fact defective. I returned the guitar and all of it's accessories to the Target store. I oredered another guitar package thinking, "What are the chances two guitars would be defective?" The second guitar arrived....SAME PROBLEM! My son and I were very dissappointed. I have purchased many things from Amazon.com and have always been please. Sadly enough, that was not the case with this guitar. I wouldn't recommend this product to anyone. Additionally, it is a safety hazzard for children and Behringer should take it off the marked until the problem is resolved.

Worth every penny!

I bought this CD on the day it was released. I love NSYNC more than any other music I've ever heard. It's not so much the songs that get to me, as it is their voices and how wonderful they sound together. They could sing anything, even turn the worst song into something BETTER than great. I am 30 years old, and I'm absolutely nuts over these men. I consider them to be the absolute best performers in the world, and to people of ALL ages, not just teenyboppers. If you are thinking twice about purchasing this CD, fear not, for you will be singing along with them for each and every song. They ARE worth every penny!

Not your mom's Oz

We read this in our book club and we all agreed this was a winner. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because I felt the ending was rushed. Otherwise this was a fabulous journey into the life of a woman who has put fear in the hearts of small children everywhere. Maguire demystifies the world of Oz and humanizes Elphaba,(the Witch). We also learn why Glinda wore that hideous puffy dress to Munchkinland when the Witch of the East died.This book is sensuous, philosophical, satirical, and catty. Some parts will make you laugh out loud and some parts may make you reconsider your stance on animal rights. You will definitely reconsider any preconceptions you had about the Witches of OZ, the Wizard and "heroic" little Dorothy. Definitely recommended. If you can find a rainy weekend to read the whole thing through, go for it! Caution; beware of saffron cream cravings.

Just one of those albums.

I can pop this album in, press play, and never have the desire to skip a song. It's just one of those albums, like Revolver or Toys in the Attic. J.D. Crowe plays a mean bannjo, and Tony Rice has a great voice and is one of the best flatpickers in bluegrass.

Lacked the Sizzle!

I felt that this book was lacking in the sizzle that it spoke about on the back cover of the book. The hero is supposed to be the stripper Lord Sin and no one is aware of this? I found that very unbelievable and thought the whole book was too predictable. The heroine, who is an intelligent journalist who is determined to unmask Lord Sin, does not seem to be able to put two and two together and come up with four. No instead she is confused at her attraction for two different men. I would say this is an ok read if you have nothing better to do.

History as We Haven't Seen It

I can hardly wait to own these DVDs! I've watched the HBO series over and over and see or hear something every time that I missed in previous viewings. This series is rich in historical detail, drama, and humor. I can't vouch for the historical accuracy, but I have great respect for David McCullough, on whose book the series is based, and trust that he and the series are true to the...well, the truth. I am grateful to Tom Hanks for his vision and tenacity in bringing these stories to us in such a pleasurable way. Now, how about the Thomas Jefferson story in a similar fashion?

Rush,,straight up....

This is one of the best concert dvd's I've seen, and certainly the best of Rush's releases. It's about Rush and their performance. It is not about how 'creative' some idiot producer thinks he is when he cuts from one camera to another every second as some I've seen. It shows you camera angles from all over, upclose, and one on the Atlanta disk I 'm watching now that seems to be from the back row of the amphitheatre. If you want to know what it's like to see Rush, buy a ticket next time. For a most reasonable facsimile thereof, buy this DVD. If you're like me and you just love these guys and can't wait till next time, BUY THIS DVD.THANK YOU ALEX NEIL AND GEDDY.

What can I say, this rules!!

I just got this cd a couple of days ago, & I hadn't gone a day without listening to it. If you just know this band from hearing them at a club (like in my case) & can't get enuff of them there, you won't get enuff of them still from this cd. There's not a bad song in sight. And it's great to see they can go from the powerful tracks like "Dominion/Mother Russia" & "This Corrosion" to slower ones like "1959". I hear a lot of Peter Murphy influences in Eldritch's vocals, so if you like Bauhaus, you'll like this band too, if your new to them.

BEWARE product and return policy

I bought this for my son to keep in his room. After playing a CD ONE TIME, the player would no longer play any CD. I got the player ready to return and then saw the return policy for the RECORDING STORE - I had three days from original delivery to return it. Unfortunately, I had missed the deadline - I was on summer vacation for four days when it was delivered, I took a day to pull it out of the package, two days to realize that the player was actually defective (not user error) and we were out of range of returning it according to the company. I strongly recommend that you look at a more established brand of player and buy from a company that has a less draconian return policy. I bought a Sony from Best Buy and am very pleased now.

Need more cussing

Hey Tom I think you need to use the F word or GD a little more. Every other sentence was just not enough. Normally I can read a Clancy book in 3 days. The last 2 I have had to make myself finish. This one should have gone straight to paper back.......

Worst book adaptation EVER!

If you have read the series of books you will be disappointed! There are many things missing and there are thing that are not suppose to be there. If you like the Percy Jackson series, please buy-cut this movie!!!!

It works, Updated November 2006

I have to say that I was impressed with the animal. We have two dogs a bird and two kids so there is plenty to pick up. I have always had commercial type vacs that are heavy but do the job ok. This vac works extremely well. No bags no mess just results. Doing the stairs was actually very easy. We have 80% wall to wall but this worked just as well on bare floors too. It is worth it so far. My $.02It STILL WORKS!!!

Good Movie

This movie was excellent, but more aimed at men's humor. The cinematography was done at a higher quality than I was expecting...there was thought put into scenes and shots and editing. It was not just a delivery method of nonstop potty humor.

Don't buy this game

This game stinks. The graphics stink, the gameplay is unrealistic, and there is very little to do in the game. Don't waste your money like I did. If you want to snowboard buy ESPN X-Games Pro Boarder or Boarder Zone.

Poor quality Switch

Died today after under 2 years of service. That's pretty terrible for a basic piece of equipment. I have switches from 15 years ago that still work fine.Had to reset the switch fairly often(every 4 months or so). Drove me nuts making me think our DSl modem or Cisco router was buggy. Would work for a while and then just stop passing traffic.Buy from someone else.

Don't leave your house and SAVE money!

Great way to save a couple bucks. Whenever this item is on sale (less than 50$) buy it, get your codes, enter the codes in you Xbox live account, which you can do right on the XboxLive Site/redeem page and it will add the time to whatever your end date is.

A less than stellar DVD

First off the Director's Cut blatantly disregards most of the book especially at the end. But since I am inclined to base my rating on the DVD itself, I'll not count that against it. My big complaint with Bladerunner is that the movie was released with two versions and only one is present on the DVD. Thus, the viewer is forced to watch the Director's Cut. The DVD is also a little shy on extras. The movie itself isn't too bad, although its pace is a tad slower than many other good science fiction movies and may cause many viewers to become bored. I suggest holding off on purchasing this DVD as it is rumored to be scheduled for re-release around December of this year. Hopefully the new release will have both versions of the film and the additional extras such a famous film deserves

This thing works great. End of story. Plug it in, set the station and go. Initially I had a little static but it was due to my audio source (mp3 player). I turned the volume on my mp3 player down a few notches away from the max and the static completely disappeared.

MY REVIEWGames~ 3/10 DS has really bad games our right now, the only good ones are the poker ones, we all like a freindly game of cards dont we??Game quality~ 4/10 Games can be beaten in about twenty minutes, and who says they cant fit more game data on a UMD than a cartridge, you no you are wrong so just admit it.Geek features~ 4/10 WiFi and pictochat, thats it. Pictochat is pretty cool but the WiFi stinks ive seen samples of it and since the DS doesnt even have a main menu you it will be pretty awkward.Hmmmmm........4+4+3=11 11/3=about 3.6 so 3.6= 1.8 stars. Ill still give it a oneBy the way im not sony fanboy I just want people to get it straight.

Writing so beautiful that you can feel the room get colder

I find myself reading and rereading this book every few years. The prose and writing is amazing. It's even more powerful because this is not a genre I usually read or like, but Helprin's writing makes me forget about my biases and enjoy this telling story.The writing is so good that I pick up this book in the summer time when the temperature rises to sweltering heights. Just the description of the roof top snows and wintery sleigh rides makes the room feel colder.This is my favorite book and I recommend it to everyone I know.

Rehash, but......

The collection stops in 1987 because this is a Mercury/Polygram product. Rush went to Atlantic after A Show of Hands. If you don't own any Rush, this, The Retrospectives I and II, Spirit of Radio or Chronicles are good best of, sort of collections. Rush have bashed Chronicles, but for a while it was the only CD version available of Passage To Bangkok, but I digress. They were involved in the art for SoR, and song selection and art for the Retrospectives. Given that the friendly Rush forum (RIP Trinet) died, I've no idea on this one. As any devout Rush fan would tell you, however, don't you want to buy all the Rush albums? You do, really...start in the era you like and buy a couple...Rush is best experienced by album....What? It's only money for 18ish CDs......

Fans can never be objective...

When you have this long a wait between albums you expect years of artistic pile-up to be whittled down to a fantastic come back CD. Instead, Bob took bits a pieces of old stuff, rehashed it into a new song titles and subtracted some of that old time rock and roll. It just leaves nothing to soothe the soul. YAWN.

Haven't lasted long....

This space heater is easy to use, heats up quickly and was quiet....qualities I loved.The down side is we've had two of the exact same ones and each one broke down. We only used it in the evenings in a spare bedroom in the colder months (so NOT running all the time). After buying two....and having them no longer heat we're on to another brand. Buyer beware or be sure to keep up with the warrantee and paperwork to be sure to get your money back.

quite jingle jangle troubadour

good new album from tom petty without heartbreakers.a taste of honey but lyrics not too optimistic about life on the road and music business. the melodies are sublime, a touch of beatles and two touch of dylan, the better dylan. petty is fine observer and tough rocker, the musicof highway companion is a breeze in a hot summer night, his vision of music world is the reflection of a man that has lived all the good and all the bad of the rock n'roll over his skin. Full of maturity, wise and ironic and relaxing too, with great harmonies and airy guitars, highway companion is the best friend of the summer of 2006.MAURO ZAMBELLINI

Great text for 18th Century Counterpoint

The Benjamin has a composers' viewpoint more than other counterpoint texts I've used. He speaks (well) to aspects such as rhythm and shape of line in each chapter, never sacrificing the other musical parameters to the all-too-common primacy of pitch. There is a useful balance of prose to musical examples.Benjamin includes linear analyses of several examples. This provides a solid introduction to Schenkarian concepts for lower-division students, and yet they can easily be skipped by those who prefer.This text has a satisfactory anthology of JS Bach pieces at the back. This is important at schools where textbook budgets for most students are slim.I have yet to use the last few chapters in my one-semester course, but in a year-long sequence, they would be welcome.

Battery won't hold charge at all.

When i first got the phone, the directions stated to charge each phone for 12 hours before use. So I did just that. For the first few months we noticed that the phones would die if you left it off the base for more than an hour. After about 6 months, we lost one of the phones in the couch for awhile, found it, and put it back on the charger but it won't come back on at all now. After a year we only have one handset that will charge but you can only talk for about 20-30 min before it dies. This is by far the worst product I have ever purchased. I will never purchase another vtech product as long as I live. I don't care if it is a vtech door stopper; I just do not trust their products anymore.

Perfect for the beginner studying the Tarot.

I absolutely adore Ms Morrison's writing and books, so I was very excited when I finally ordered this and got it in the mail. I was never very familiar with the Tarot before I read this, and after reading this, I feel that I have a much greater grasp of it. Her writing style is to the point and friendly without being too aggressively-friendly, which makes it easy to follow and charming to read. Her meditations with each card are treasured, and the spells are varied and simple to use. She also gives personal stories about her experiences with the Tarot, which help the reader (especially the beginner) to relieve any fears or doubts that they might have. Although it isn't the "most definitive" text on the Tarot out there, it is certainly one not to be missed.

Short Life

I bought this thing because I lost a memory mod to a power surge. It worked fine at first but now it has no battery life. Recently the power went out and my computer shut off immediately - like it was not on a backup at all. Of course the alarm was still screaming but so what - my computer was already shut off without any warning. I had this thing for two years but I will be going with a different brand next time.

Knit and Crochet Aid

Purchased this for my knitting girlfriends and for myself. My only complaint is it is almost too small. I write in mine in pencil so it can be erased and reused. It is handy in that it fits in your purse when you are shopping and there is space to record all the needle and hook sizes you own so you don't accidentally buy something you already have.

Works as is, but not with Sveasoft

In spite of reliability problems with previous Linksys routers, I bought this one because the WRT54G was supported by Sveasoft. Now it turns out that I was shipped the V5 version of this router which has been modified to NOT run this popular, powerful, inexpensive firmware. This was NOT mentioned in the product listing.I can't imagine what motive Linksys had for this, since they don't get revenue from their own firmware. It just seems like a downgrade for no reason.Two stars rather than 1, because it did work right out of the box without problems.

Coles notes version of another self help book

I have been studying Dr. Abraham Low's "Mental Health Through Will Training," which is along the same lines as this book by Dr. Claire Weekes, which I just recently read. I find Dr. Low's book superior because it is more detailed, gives far more examples and more self help techniques. I am also a member of Dr. Low's Recovery Inc meetings, which have been a big help. The book by Dr. Weekes is ok if you are looking for a summary type book; for a "full length" version minus any religious references, go with Dr. Low.

It's amazing some reviewers here refer to Quinn as an expert. I don't see CFP, ChFC, CLU, or JD next to her name. The information in this book on pension maximization and insurance is criminally misleading. It's funny how people who cannot have sucessful financial planning practices write books.

Certainly the place to start-- the very best survey

I read this in its original 1967 edition when I was very young, and it inspired a life-long love of horror films (at that time the Science Fiction content was not in the title, though it was found in the book). Clarens' effort is clear and concise-- not too much on any one thing, but he manages to hit all the necessarys and high spots. It's really indispensible for the fan who's starting out in a serious study of the subject-- or who just loves horror.

This CD was better than I'd hoped it was gonna be. I bought it after hearing the song "Smokers Club" w/ B-Lynch and Mr. Doctor, and found the CD that song was from.

I first heard of Turin Brakes from a O.C. soundtrack album, and decided to look for their cd. This album is a classic. At the end of the cd, the last track Rain City, if you listen to the last song and let it play to about 12 minutes, a bonus song plays, it's awesome.

Buy Christy Lane's Dance DVD instead

Molly & Roni's Dance Party was the only '50s/'60s dance DVD that many different searches found. It only shows one dance. Through an oldies music website, I found a link to Christy Lane. Her DVD is much, much better and covers 10-12 dances from the '50s and '60s, as well as many others from the '70s and '80s.

A sobering documentary

Bowling for columbine is another proof of micheal moore's talent in filmaking. The film is an interesting and sobering look at gun control and the state of our society. Moore manages to provoke alot of thought throughout the film on the way the United States is as a society and how we love our guns. The film manages to be very interesting and at times funny but it does not stray away from the sobering truth of the chaotic state of gun crime in the US. The film may not be as gripping as other micheal moore films such as Farhenheit 9/11 but it certainly comes close.

Misleading Technical Support

I purchased my first Nomad for my wife 12/2000. We had problems with the battery charger, but because of some personal issues, didn't return within 90 days. When I contacted technical support, they said they had worked out the problems with the batteries, but that because I was out of warrenty, I would be better off buying a new one as they would charge me ... to repair, even if it was something simple.Because I liked the concept of the Nomad I purchased another. The batteries did work a little better this time, for a while, but now (again past the 90 days) I am getting very little battery life again. I assume I am stuck with a unit that only plays plugged in.I bought it for my wife to walk with........Oh, well.

New MFC classes are not even mentioned

For a C++ programmer, who is new to Visual C++ 6, but not to C++, this book is quite useless. The new MFC classes, such as CMonthCalCtrl or CDateTimePicker, are not even mentioned in the book, so don't look for them. The dialog chapter (Chapter 17) seems to be recycled from previous versions of the book, with new screen shots inserted instead of the old ones, but the rest just covering basics that any C++ programmer doesn't need to be taught. I think a much better book is SAMS Teach Yourself Visual C++6 in 21 days. At least it has all classes and members functions indexed.

Grisham writes non-fiction about a wornlgly accused Yankee Baseball player accused of murder. If anything the book proves that even in the best circumstances, the innocent can be falsely acussed against all checks and balances.

Great info, horrible design

There's a lot of indispensable information in this book, but it's amazing how ugly and bad the design is. The margins are about 1/4 inch on all sides (resulting in very crammed text) and some of the graphics are blurred & illegible. I realize that design is usually a matter of taste, but in the case of this book it really hampers its readability and usefulness.

Another great "Royal Diaries" novel

"Marie Antoinette: Princess of Versailles" was a great fictional diary of this young princess, in her difficult lifestyle.Maria Antonia of Austria lives with her wealthy, royal family, when she hears that she is to be married - to the future king of France! She spends a busy time learning French, pages and pages of French etiquette, posing for portraits, being fitted for gowns, and trying to stop acting like the girl she is. Then she leaves for France, and doesn't know what to expect...This was a great book that really makes you feel for and understand Marie Antoinette, who later became such a terrible ruler. I'd recommend this for ages 11 and up, and I'd also definitely recommend the other Royal Diaries books.

All in one

I couldn't believe that there was a box set of this series. It is a must have for thoes who have dabbled in the Method workouts. Each of these workouts flow with one another and having the box set means less money and you can follow through with the total workout. I love this series because they are a are fun to do, combining dance, yoga, weights, and Pilates to give you a challenging full body workout that doesn't stress out your body. These tapes are set up so that if you don't have a lot of time to workout, you can just do one section and you will still sweat. You can also mix and match certian routines to keep your workout interesting. I would recomend these tapes for anyone who is tired of repitition workouts and who are ready to have fun and be creative while sweating away.
