0	She does not like the taste. I don't like the smell	These may work. They may help my dog with pain. Too bad they smell so horrible that my dog won't eat them.The smell of chemicals is overpowering when you open the bottle. Good luck getting your dog to take these. You are better off with buffered aspirin shoved in a treat than wasting your money on this product.	negative
1	Entertaining book - Definitely worth reading	Stephanie Plum is back in this fast paced book that won't let you stop until you're done. This time Stephanie's teamed up with Joe Morelli in order to find his cousin who is accused of killing his best friend. Stephanie, along with Grandma Mazur, searches funeral homes for the allusive Kenny Mancusco. Two For the Dough, although not as funny as the first, has many hilarious moments . Joe Morelli and Grandma Mazur have just as much depth as supporting characters as Stephanie does as the main. Grandma Mazur's adventures in the funeral home are quite humorous, although the mortuary theme was a little too morbid and played too great a part. Janet Evanovich's great sense of humor is reflected in both One For the Money and in Two For the Dough- I laughed so hard I cried! Stephanie Plum is a hip and spunky heroine whose attitude endears herself to her readers. I highly recommend reading Two For the Dough - I can hardly wait to read the next one	positive
0	Only for the seriously addicted	The book is a quick read. I doubt it took that long to write, actually. Having read more scholarly books about Callas, I found this book to be pretty sensationalistic and probably an inaccurate representation of this singer.I have talked to people who knew Callas, and the general consensus is that she disdained profanity and was a rather private person. This book would have us believe otherwise. If you want to read a good Callas bio, try the one by George Jellinek, published by Dover. Also, I expect the one by Anne Edwards which will be published later in 2001 will be a good read.	negative
1	An exciting sequel	Annie Lockwood, a fifteen-year-old girl, lives in the wrong century. She dreams of romantic dinners with the man of her dreams that will sweep her off of her feet. Unfortunately she doesn't have the gentelman who could give her exactly what she wants. She has Sean. He is far from her fantasies. When she travels back to the 1800s, she gets her chance at true love. There she meets the guy she'd been dreaming about her whole life. Strat is from the well respected and rich family of the town where their mansion sits. Annie is welcomed to stay with the family, though they have no idea who she really is and where she is from. Strat and Annie quickly fall in love with each other but for how long can it last? She knows that she can't stay there, in that time forever. She wants to stay, but for how long will time let her stay? Caroline B. Cooney keeps the 1800s love and romance alive in this great book.	positive
1	More than I expected	I ordered 2 of these and I got more than I expected. I got the right product but it was the 50% more in the container. I still have the original one that I use now and am only half way through it.	positive
0	Big Disappointment!	After reading Edgerton's "Walking Across Egypt," I was looking forward to another hilarious book. What a disappointment this book was! I was raised in the South, and as a Southerner, I found this book to be very offensive - from its portrayal of racial prejudice to the degradation of Raney's entire family. I got the feeling the author was trying to tell us that only people who are from the cities in the South (like Atlanta) are intelligent and progressive, or have a world view larger than their own back yard.I was surprised that the author used the "n" word in the book - even though it was supposed to be in a humorous manner of "poor little girl who doesn't know any better."If you want to read something by Edgerton, read "Walking Across Egypt." Let this one stay on the shelf.	negative
0	Disappointed - Battery too big - Does NOT fit	I have taken apart iPods before and successfully replaced their batteries, so I am not a newbie. With a device as small as the iPod Mini, a difference of 1/16" of an inch can make a difference.I was trying to fit the new battery into place on my iPod. But it was slightly too wide. While applying a little too much force to seat it, I broke off the headphone jack assembly (daughter card) off of the motherboard. Now my whole iPod is ruined.After peeling off the protective plastic from both batteries and closely comparing with the original Apple battery, it seems the place where the wires go into the new one make the battery TOO WIDE. It will not fit into the space given on the iPod. Before writing this, I did one more test to confirm that the old battery fits as it should, and the new one does not. I am correct - the old battery fits fine. The new one will NOT fit without jamming it too hard.This is a big disappointment and a waste of money.	negative
1	It's time to go to Mars!	Every once in a while, I pick up a book thats tough to put down. I read this one in several sittings and as I read, I kept thinking of what a great film it would make. I make this statement because the novel is very visual, has a great cast of characters, and a story line with a interesting perspective on the first manned Mars mission. I like my Science Fiction with a heavy emphasis on science and technology, and this book delivered. I found myself deeply involved with the characters, and their situations as well. The last few chapters, especially the epilog, brought a tear or two to my eyes. I highly recommend this novel.	positive
1	Genghis Khan: To the Ends of the Earth & Sea	Great cinematopgraphy and tale of the "blue wolf" and the changes the khan went through to stay focused when the world's karma was due through war.	positive
0	A Smell You can Smell...all day!	This perfume really does smell clean but it's a little over-powering. I typically do not wear perfume that I can smell on myself all day b/c it makes me sick. This perfume definitely sticks around so I won't buy it anymore. I like perfume that fades into a more natural smell. This perfume is so strong, when I eat, my food tastes like it. But for the overall smell, it does smell like a laundry detergent.	negative
0	Just awful	As a Carcinoid Cancer Survivor, this is one of the worst books I've seen on the subject. Halfway though this book the story becomes not Carcinoid Cancer, but the patient's husbands employment problems because he takes schoolkids on ski trips. Talk about losing control of the subject matter! If you want to learn about this cancer, go to www.carcinoid.org and skip this poorly written book.	negative
0	Worst music I've ever heard	These guys stink. Don't buy this CD. It's awful. The first track drones on and on and on... and it doesn't get any better. It's as the adults say, "all down hill from here!"	negative
0	Journey to the Center of the Earth (1989)	Bad B movie. Emo Philips is in it for a very short walk on part, yet he gets top billing from Amazon which I think is misleading. The story line has huge gaps. How the movie gets to the final ending is a big mystery. It wasn't worth the $6.99, I paid for it in October, I see it has gone up to $13.49.	negative
1	Great for beginners!	Great book to have when you new at soaping period. I've taken my soaping to the next level with this book, good read and very helpful! :-)	positive
0	Worst album Ive bought so Far this year.	ok this Band could be really good If they changed 1 thing.This one thing they should change is the Singer.Hes got a terribly Annoying voice.Alot of people were telling me that I should buy this album...so I did.The only song I was able to listen to was "Monster".I Didnt even know that was in rotaion on radio until someone told me.But the other songs on the album are really bad.Unless you like the way Mudvaynes singer sounds when he tries to sing,dont buy this cd.And thats Not opinion...thats Truth.ANyone who tells you they sound like TOOL (Which is what I was told by several People)Needs to go out and Buy A Tool cd and compare the 2.They sound nothing Like Tool.They Sound like an Even Worse Version of Trust Company.	negative

0	He's Dope, But the CD STANKS	Cannibus has 2 good songs on the whole CD. He looks so tight on the tv, but his cd is surprisingly bad. Yes, I bought it, but the only really good song is second round knock out.	negative
0	Sheer dreck!	I just received this disk (used, thank god) and it is execrable! I ordered it in the first place because one of the cuts appears on a compilation I have, and I have rarely been so disappointed in a piece of work.At best, it is "jazz lite," AT BEST! It belongs in that highly regrettable ilk of 80's pap, along with the likes of Spyrogyra and Jeff Lorber Fusion (JL appears on this thing as well), mall jazz for the smart set. Avoid it!	negative
1	Wonderful Primer for Starting a Serious Practice	This book is a wonderful primer for anyone wanting to get started on a meditative practice. I've studied many different forms of meditation over the years, and tried teachers, books, etc... But this book has helped me stick with my practice in a way others haven't. There's no fluff. Every page truly has value.The book is wonderfully practical, and makes it very easy to learn and work the two starter meditations of Buddhism, and to gain value from them. The meditations it teaches are simple yet powerful, and I believe they can improve how people feel about themselves, and operate in the world.I bought this book several years ago, and still turn to it regularly to review the principles and practices it describes. If you're at all interested in practicing meditation, I'd strongly recommend it.	positive
1	West Side Story	This was a very nice DVD, I bought this DVD for my Dad who is 82 years old and he really enjoys it, thank you so much Amazon	positive
0	PCM Stereo Sound is too bad	The video footage is ok although the cuts between the different sets are too rough. You don`t get the impression to be on one concert you will think this is more a DVD with Hector`s music videos all lined up. But the worst think is the sound. No Bass at all. I got a 5.1 sourround system but the PCM Stereo sound on this DVD is too bad. When you have an old TV and the complete sound comes out of it, you may don`t have a problem with the sound. But I do! How can someone who owns millions and gives an expensiv concert, release the DVD in such a horrible sound? Wisin y Yandel released their tomando control Live DVD in 5.1 sound.	negative
1	Welcome to Surveying	This is the most practical exam prep tool I've found to date, and I know what I'm talking about. Licensure was important to me, so I've purchased and used over $2,000 worth of references. This book is the most thorough, topic by topic prep manual I've seen. If you can master the material in this book, you're as ready for the NCEES exam as you can possibly be. How do I know? I passed on my first sitting, and this book was one of the main reasons why. Going through this book from cover to cover is definitely like "basic training" for surveyors.	positive
1	Chuck is great!!	If you are still a fan of TDN...this album is great!! Chuck's version of "Voices" is now my favorite!! Buy it!!	positive
0	Another great band gone awful	Tonite the Stars revolt is well... horrible. If you listen to Mega! Kung Fu Radio, or even true force, you will see how downhill this band has gone. What was once one of the most creative bands in the WORLD, is now another lame MTV and Alternative radio friendly Korn styled band. Powerman's first mistake was getting rid of their bongo player, and bringing another guitarist in. I believe they have a new bassist too, since the guy looks totally different, and is nowhere nearly as original as the bassist on Mega!. Even Spider's vocals have gone to crap, from his groovy little raps on the last two albums, to just KoRny KRap, with even more influence of big brother Rob showing. Terrible. I wish I could give this album 0 stars.	negative
1	Shades of Cormac McCarthy's "Child of God."	Can't ruin premise by detailing the analogy, but if you know Cormac McCarthy's small gem, "Child of God," you will find that Faber's excellent novel explores the same philosophical territory, forcing you to confront your own worldview to sympathize with an amoral protagonist. It's a testament to his powers as a writer that he bends genres (and I won't say which, a spoiler) to do it.	positive
0	urlfieldtrash	Product works great when it's not broken. Have gone through two in the last two years. First one had an electronic issue. The second broke in half. Product needs to be improved before I buy another one.	negative
1	For those who love to read, the "Lonely Hunters"	I always love delving into a well-written, even complex book and getting into the minds of the characters. I was not bored or disappointed at all by this book. It is a book that will appeal to those who feel caught between "irony and faith," or for people who are searching for truth and something to give a lonely life fulfillment.	positive
1	Good phones...for the price, anyway	The Koss Porta-Pro looks delicate, but its folding design belies a hardiness that competitors should try to emulate. All headphones require a "burn-in" period before they sound their best, and that's certainly true of the Koss Porta-Pro.After burn-in, they show themselves to be equal to their reputation. Retailing between $30 and $40 or so, they offer good fidelity at low to medium volume, but grate a bit when pushed too hard. The Porta-Pro works nicely with a variety of musical styles, pop and rock to jazz, but occasionally has trouble with the distortion levels of punk; this may not be a problem with most listeners.While the sound is clear and offers fine fidelity, songs often lack "color" -- a common complaint with less expensive headphones. Yet, compared to its competition, the Porta-Pro offers a much cleaner sound; no irritating bass thump on these phones.These are the iPod phones of choice.	positive
1	Wonderful novel! The audioproduction made me a fan	What a great novel! A boy who is not popular in school, in an era that was not very glamoruous, struggling to find his identity in a quickly changing world. The story is so endearing, well written and wonderfully performed in it's audio version! Matthew Wayne Selznick drew me into this new world of 'normal super-heroes' and I do hope there will be a sequel, because I'm a fan now.	positive
0	Not for small items!	These clamps are very disappointing (and dangerous) when using with small items. The yellow tips rotate and flex losing grip on any small items with great force. This breaks the item and causes great potential for injuring yourself in the process..I keep them around for flat wood sheets and basic items but do NOT buy these for small projects.	negative
1	Loved It!!!	I saw Gunslinger Girl, Gunslinger Girl: Il Teatrino, and the two OVAs. I truly enjoyed the whole anime series and experienced catharsis by watching it. It dealt with deep emotions, ethics, and loss. It is sad if you only watch the first season (though it was really good), but the two OVAs give the story closure and ends on a hopeful and healed note.	positive
1	Please! It's Entertainment Not Reality!	There's only one reason to see this movie. Entertainment. It's just that simple. If you're looking for profound, this whole movie genre isn't it. If your looking for fast paced action, witty dialogue, an edgy sound track that compliments the plot... a wild, unique approach to stunts, and a totally unconventional, irreverent "secret agent"... then this movie is for you.Vin Diesel makes a very entertaining, believable Xander Cage, but give him a break...this isn't a Shakespeare movie! It's a spy movie and does follow the genre rules, but not enough to make it like any other. Don't take it too seriously and enjoy the ride!	positive
0	Very disappointed	Made of metal and plastic. Like a toy. Arrived broken in many places - both metal and plastic parts. Major effort to fix or return. Would not recommend to anyone.	negative

1	A good listen	Listen, I will admit that the main reason we purchased Moveit Like This was because my two daughters (6 & 9) wanted it.But to my surprise it is a very enjoyable listen. The songshave a great beat and the lyrics are fun. I find myselfreaching for the CD quite often as I commute to work. Yes thesongs can be similar, but they are enjoyable and fun to listento. After hearing the album I would buy even if the kids didn'trequest.	positive
0	Reads like a long term paper	Steers provides loads of sources and references for his work, but it sure is not very fun to read. The irksome thing about this book is that Steers is so impolitely insulting to any historian who he disagrees with. Wouldn't it be more professional to simply cite a source refuting another's theory? Calling other historians names for drawing differing conclusions just seems bombastic, not scholarly. This book does not give any feel of the time period at the end of the civil war. For pleasure reading, I found books by Swanson, Shaara, Bill O'Reilly and Shelby Foote much more readable and not so harsh to other students of Civil War History.	negative
1	Very fine cookbook	I got this book originally because I needed a recipe for leeks and this was the only one I could find. I found I liked the way it's laid out, and pretty thorough.I am, however, thoroughly disappointed in the binding as it has pretty much fallen apart, with pages literally falling out. That is unacceptable to me and I will make sure to avoid IDG books in the future.	positive
0	Waste of time	Unless you like being talked to like you are a preschooler or have the IQ of a grapefruit, then stay away from this video. I don't know why there was so much good feed back on this because I felt like this was an utter and complete waste of money and time. The budget for the video production looked like it was under $10.If you are looking for a good work out led by good instructors, look elsewhere.	negative
1	Great product	I bought these for my son and he is extremely happy with the quality and comfort. I would recommend for the underwear category.	positive
0	Nowhere near as good as the 2 Bridget Jones .....	........... or Laura Zigman's' books. By the time I got to the 2nd chapter, it was clear that it was a waste of time. Being a fan of Helen Fielding, I read as many books on more or less the same subject, even if it means ordering over the net and paying that exhorbitant delivery charges. To add salt to the wound, this book was "electronically recomended" based on my Wish List. Give this one a skip, yah. Not even for summer reading!	negative
1	Clay's still the best Wonderful voice!	he can sign anything. I've bought everthing he's done and I will remain true to the best voice I've heard in years. He's the best. and what an awesome new look! he's hot.	positive
0	Cheap, if you can get it to work	I have three printers, one is incompatible (there is no list of compatible printers), one worked with the help of tech support and one I cannot get to work even with tech support. Since I bought it so I could hook all 3 to the same server, it does me no good. I am probably returning it.	negative
1	Always thoughtful	Pope Benedict address the problems of the day in a forthright manner. For the faint of heart who want writer to gloss over our troubles and offer panaceas this is not your book. But I like the honest discussion and his compassion for humanity.	positive
0	Puhhlease	I've been a big Heinlein fan for over 30 years so what a huge disappointment. The writing was so smug and self-serving, at times I almost choked. Not everyone can be Nelson DeMille. This train wreck makes me appreciate his writing style all the more.	negative
0	Too short for anything practical.	This is a total rip off and amazon has the nerve to charge me for return shipping. The cord must be plugged into a wall outlet, however the cord is 10" long and it just isn't practical to think my sump is 10" from an outlet. The package was either cracked from age or because no one wants them and people just send them back. Don't waste time or money on this product. I'm also a prime member that is having to pay for return shipping because they decided this isn't their fault. It's a total rip off. Will definitely reconsider renewing my prime membership this year.	negative
1	TIME IS SLIPPING AWAY	JAKE IS A TALENTED YOUNG MAN WITH MANY GOAL AHEAD OF HIM. HIS WRITINGS ARE VERY INSPIRATIONAL AND HE HAS DONE VERY WELL. DISPITE HIS BLINDNESS, HIS ABILITY TO WRITE AND ACHIEVE HIS GOALS ARE REMARKABLE. CONTINUE TO WRITE YOUR POEMS.	positive
0	HOW TO REVIEW SOMETHING THAT NEVER ARRIVED????	I would love more than anything to review this movie. However, I have not yet received it -- and my inquiries to the seller have all gone unanswered. I ordered it on December 5...it is now January 7...and still no movie!This has taught me a great lesson -- DO NOT EVER BUY ANYTHING FROM AN AMAZON SELLER!!!! IT IS NOT WORTH THE HASSLE! They have my money now...no wonder they don't bother to answer any inquiries about where my product is!!	negative
0	Not impressed.	I saw so many good reviews and I expected much more. I bought two packs and of the twelve socks, one had a hole in them when they were shipped. I didn't worry about it and just used the others. The socks have been through the wash approximately 5-7 times. Of the remaining eleven socks, I noticed that two of them had the elastic strings coming through and one has a hole.I gave them two stars because they are not holding up, but, they are comfortable. A lot of my family members swear by gold toe socks, but, when I tried them, I expected them to last much longer than this.	negative
0	For Chefs Only	If you have 3 hours to prepare the entre, can purchase exotic ingrediants and have the ability to make a foam sauce this book is for you. If you are an average working class bottom feeder spend the money on fast food rather than this book.	negative
1	My Utmost for His Highest	Oswarl Chambers has, without a doubt, a special way of putting together a daily devotion that makes the reader really thing about their walk with our Lord Jesus Christ and our communication with God. I would recmmend it to anyone.	positive
1	One of Pops' Finest Hours	For sheer joy--to say nothing of its historical significance--this meeting of two of New Orleans' greatest is arguably unsurpassed. Thank God that Handy was still alive to hear what Armstrong did to his work--which, simply put, was to sprinkle it with magic. (The liner notes quote Handy as saying, during the recording sessions, that Satch's performances brought tears to his blind eyes.) The CD includes false starts and some rehearsals, which are in their own way delightful: The listener hears the artists' finished products as well as the work that it took to polish them to perfection. After the early Hot Fives and Hot Sevens, this is arguably the best of Pops on record. This is probably my desert island Armstrong disc; I cannot imagine its absence from any serious collection of this artist or, for that matter, from any serious jazz collection. Highest recommendation.	positive
0	Terrarium & Cage Construction and Care	The book wasnt everything I had hoped for. It did not cover the false bottom method for terrarium/vivarium construction. Seemed out dated and very very basic. Great for ideas, not for construction. Would maybe recommend book for reference but not a single resource.	negative

1	a funny read	Look people, this is meant to be an amusing (and informative) look at the dot com blowup. That it accomplishes. It's not Shakespeare and isn't meant to be. I think most readers who go in with that expectation will find this a very entertaining book, especially those unfamiliar with why the bubble burst in the first place.	positive
0	Features, but hardly works	I've been a Roxio/ EZ CD Creator user for many years. This version and suite packs a lot of features - everything you need for multimedia it seems.Has a lot of programs that start in the background and run all the time - they use quite a bit of your memory. It also hangs, or just refuses to open components. I often have to reboot in order for it to do what I want to get done (and I have a decent PC, working in the IT business). I have not gotten a slideshow to complete - it always locks up using all the cpu and I have to kill it. The videowave version gives me so many problems I generally give up and open Videowave version 4.1 - can you believe it, so much better! I can still burn CDs great, but anything else it just raises my blood pressure. What a waste of money.	negative
1	This book is better than the movie.	I am a loyal fan of Babylon 5. I enjoyed the movie Babylon 5: In the Beginning a lot, which tempted me to buy the book. I was glad that I did. The book was written very well expressing the story with more depth. It also contained situations that were not shown in the movie. The movie would be much better if it had used this book for the script. To all Babylon 5 fans or book readers of interest, this is an excellent book that I recommend.	positive
1	Product is as described	Received the book in about a week and a half. Came nicely packaged - protected in 2 layers of waterproof envelopes. The book is as described - a facsimile of the original work. Quality wise it's not as aesthetic as I'd imagined and a bit hard to follow with tiny writings. Nonetheless, a handy reference for the history aficionado. Overall - a good coffee table book and a definite conversation piece. Would definitely buy from this seller and Amazon again.	positive
1	Sweet game	I think this game is really good. I diddn't by the game but I did rent it. I think the graphics could of been a little better since it was made by the same people who made the best TM, Twisted Metal Black. But besides that this game is really good. I think you should get this game but only if your not as good as me. I bet the game with every single person!	positive

1	Not bad for the money	I've been wearing this daily for almost 2 years. It's kinda cheap looking but I did pay premium price either.Things I like -1. Stainless steel band. I'm tired of throwing watches away simply because I wore out the leather or rubber bands.2. Long battery life.Things I don't like -1. The two dails are not aligned 100%. I noticed this right out of the box. Cheap, cheap, cheap!2. Ajusting the time back an hour with the analog hands is pain.	positive
1	Subtle and moving	Melody A.M. is a great album. I don't see how anyone could think "Remind Me" is the only good track on this album.	positive
0	A far cry from the MDR-A44L	These headphones are extremely flimsy and lack the kick needed to accurately reproduce music and even speech. The Sony MDR-A44L was the benchmark of the vertical in-the-ear design. It's a shame that Sony discontinued the MDR-A44L in favor of the overly cheapened MDR-W08L.	negative
1	Cordless driver/drill	Love it. Makes mildly difficult jobs a breeze. Has just the right amount of power and versatility I need. I highly recommend this product.	positive
1	New dog, old tricks	This album i another great SAGA JAZZ release. I don't think this material is easily available elsewhere.After a few listens I am warming up to this- it is not gas pedal to the floor steam roller swing like the Jimmy Rushing days, but the rhythm section is still grooving away. It is crisp and lively. If you like the 1930's to 40's Basie I think you will like this. If you are mpre of a fan of large orchestras, you still might, but as that is not my cup o' tea, I can't vouch!	positive
1	A passionate and interesting book.	I had to read this book for English and expected a book that couldn't relate to the struggles teens have to face. However, I was shocked, but delighted in finding that this book managed to write about these problems in a way that was human. The underlaying themes- racism, multiculturalism, fitting in socially, dealing with illegitimicy and tradition, are beautifully dealt with. The way in which she discovers her past helps us to think their may be a future. I strongly recommend this book to everyone.	positive
1	The Empire 5 Star 500 - #92	Why did they really jail Thoreau? Capote is the story of an American legend. Anyone that has every taken a creative writing course knows the way it goes. This film adds details, depth, and dialogue to the classic story behind a classic story. A brutal murder. A Trail. The death penalty. In the middle of it all: A love story. All throughout the process the author Truman Capote interviews the murderer and writes the renown book In Cold Book. The only thing more sensational then book is the story behind it. A very historically interesting and literally inspiring movie. Phillip Seymour Hoffman does an outstanding job playing Truman Capote. This performance is certainly in a league of its own. Capote tackles an extremely eccentric storyline with tact, thoughtfulness, intelligence, and style.	positive
0	An insult to intelligence!	This book is not all bad. There are brief passages that are even remotely original. However, the majority of this novel is uncomfortably shallow and lacking any real Truth or Beauty. And contrary to some other reviews, I never felt challenged by Quinn to reexamine my thoughts or actions. For something better, try Tom Robbins, Wim Coleman, Mark Leyner, or Derrick Jensen (listed with first being best).DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK until you have read a passage from it or at least skimmed the first few dialogue shifts.And remember, no matter how eloquent somebody may sound -- this all really just comes down to personal opinion.	negative
0	Where is the main plot line?	The first part was really interesting what with all the destruction, etc. However, there were too many characters and I got lost in all the side stories. Then in the second part, they introduce a whole new set of characters, a few thousand years in the future, about some guy with a Spanish name. They get off track a lot and there are some plot inconsistencies... But overall, they really need a better copy editor than King James. What the heck was he doing editing anyway.. didn't he have a country to run?

1	Another Great Book-To-Movie	One of my all-time favorites. Great locations, timeless story, excellent production values, and of course, a marvelous cast. No actor is mis-cast.

0	Did not fit in my 12 x 12 scrapbook	Maybe it's because of the brand of album I was using, but these Pioneer inserts did not fit. Once I inserted them into the album (following the company's own instructions), a 12 x 12 sheet of paper would not fit in the sleeve without being bent. They do not have the extra half-inch between the sleeve and the holes, and this is necessary (otherwise part of the sleeve is covered by the binding of the album, and everything in the album gets bent when you flip through it). Although the packaging said it could be used with a post-style album, it's clear these are made only for 3-ring binders and nothing else.It's a difficult issue to explain, so I hope this makes sense. I was told at Michael's that they would fit "any 12 x 12 album," and this is simply not true. I also found the plastic to be very flimsy.	negative

I think this is meant for someone smaller/more petit/female or 10-14 year old. Unfortunately, the entire combo just doesn't cut it. I returned mine. I bought this from [...], through Amazon, and I have to say their customer service was excellent, albeit a bit slow at first. Still, they arranged for a pick up, etc., and had no problem with the return. Obviously, this was not their fault, as they provided the product, and I believe it was the manufacture's fault for not properly describing it accurately. I was easily buy from Dazadi again (and of course Amazon is a no-brainer). Pass on this.	negative

0	Save your money and your rage.	I saw this movie opening night. What can I say, other than I laughed through the last three quarters of the film. It is obviously made to be taken seriously. And if your idea of a great, intellectually stimulating movie is "power rangers", then this is for you. With out spoiling any of the plot, if you can find one, this is basically a slasher film in space. "Scientists" (and this term is used very loosely) go into space seeking first contact. The crew of the first ever interstellar ship is manned with people from an insane asylum, and sent to investigate alien ruins. It would have been a much better film, if it had been shot with Will Ferrell or Adam Sandler as the lead.	negative

Yes, the different versions of Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses are pretty good, arguably better than the original, but the cover of Fortunate Son is without a doubt U2's worst cover ever. U2 have done some fantastic covers, most notably Dancing Barefoot, but Fortunate Son is a disaster. It sounds promising initially but Bono's vocals are terrible. Personally, I find Paint It Black to be enjoyable to listen to, but objectively, it's not a quality cover either.Only for the collectors.	negative

Instead of buying this peace of crap I got the Phatom Edit 1.1. This is a fan edit of this movie that ends up only being little under an hour and it's a better film for it.	negative
1	Would be even better without the movie dialogue	Like many others, I watched the movie and thought the music was spectacular. I got the CD, hoping that I could relax to the Celtic music.

If you are looking for ambient Celtic music to cool out to, then I'd stay away from this.	positive

Entertaining book - Definitely worth reading

Stephanie Plum is back in this fast paced book that won't let you stop until you're done. This time Stephanie's teamed up with Joe Morelli in order to find his cousin who is accused of killing his best friend. Stephanie, along with Grandma Mazur, searches funeral homes for the allusive Kenny Mancusco. Two For the Dough, although not as funny as the first, has many hilarious moments . Joe Morelli and Grandma Mazur have just as much depth as supporting characters as Stephanie does as the main. Grandma Mazur's adventures in the funeral home are quite humorous, although the mortuary theme was a little too morbid and played too great a part. Janet Evanovich's great sense of humor is reflected in both One For the Money and in Two For the Dough- I laughed so hard I cried! Stephanie Plum is a hip and spunky heroine whose attitude endears herself to her readers. I highly recommend reading Two For the Dough - I can hardly wait to read the next one

Only for the seriously addicted

The book is a quick read. I doubt it took that long to write, actually. Having read more scholarly books about Callas, I found this book to be pretty sensationalistic and *probably* an inaccurate representation of this singer.I have talked to people who knew Callas, and the general consensus is that she disdained profanity and was a rather private person. This book would have us believe otherwise. If you want to read a good Callas bio, try the one by George Jellinek, published by Dover. Also, I expect the one by Anne Edwards which will be published later in 2001 will be a good read.

An exciting sequel

Annie Lockwood, a fifteen-year-old girl, lives in the wrong century. She dreams of romantic dinners with the man of her dreams that will sweep her off of her feet. Unfortunately she doesn't have the gentelman who could give her exactly what she wants. She has Sean. He is far from her fantasies. When she travels back to the 1800s, she gets her chance at true love. There she meets the guy she'd been dreaming about her whole life. Strat is from the well respected and rich family of the town where their mansion sits. Annie is welcomed to stay with the family, though they have no idea who she really is and where she is from. Strat and Annie quickly fall in love with each other but for how long can it last? She knows that she can't stay there, in that time forever. She wants to stay, but for how long will time let her stay? Caroline B. Cooney keeps the 1800s love and romance alive in this great book.

Big Disappointment!

After reading Edgerton's "Walking Across Egypt," I was looking forward to another hilarious book. What a disappointment this book was! I was raised in the South, and as a Southerner, I found this book to be very offensive - from its portrayal of racial prejudice to the degradation of Raney's entire family. I got the feeling the author was trying to tell us that only people who are from the cities in the South (like Atlanta) are intelligent and progressive, or have a world view larger than their own back yard.I was surprised that the author used the "n" word in the book - even though it was supposed to be in a humorous manner of "poor little girl who doesn't know any better."If you want to read something by Edgerton, read "Walking Across Egypt." Let this one stay on the shelf.

Disappointed - Battery too big - Does NOT fit

I have taken apart iPods before and successfully replaced their batteries, so I am not a newbie. With a device as small as the iPod Mini, a difference of 1/16" of an inch can make a difference.I was trying to fit the new battery into place on my iPod. But it was slightly too wide. While applying a little too much force to seat it, I broke off the headphone jack assembly (daughter card) off of the motherboard. Now my whole iPod is ruined.After peeling off the protective plastic from both batteries and closely comparing with the original Apple battery, it seems the place where the wires go into the new one make the battery TOO WIDE. It will not fit into the space given on the iPod. Before writing this, I did one more test to confirm that the old battery fits as it should, and the new one does not. I am correct - the old battery fits fine. The new one will NOT fit without jamming it too hard.This is a big disappointment and a waste of money.

It's time to go to Mars!

Every once in a while, I pick up a book thats tough to put down. I read this one in several sittings and as I read, I kept thinking of what a great film it would make. I make this statement because the novel is very visual, has a great cast of characters, and a story line with a interesting perspective on the first manned Mars mission. I like my Science Fiction with a heavy emphasis on science and technology, and this book delivered. I found myself deeply involved with the characters, and their situations as well. The last few chapters, especially the epilog, brought a tear or two to my eyes. I highly recommend this novel.

A Smell You can Smell...all day!

This perfume really does smell clean but it's a little over-powering. I typically do not wear perfume that I can smell on myself all day b/c it makes me sick. This perfume definitely sticks around so I won't buy it anymore. I like perfume that fades into a more natural smell. This perfume is so strong, when I eat, my food tastes like it. But for the overall smell, it does smell like a laundry detergent.

As a Carcinoid Cancer Survivor, this is one of the worst books I've seen on the subject. Halfway though this book the story becomes not Carcinoid Cancer, but the patient's husbands employment problems because he takes schoolkids on ski trips.

Journey to the Center of the Earth (1989)

Bad B movie. Emo Philips is in it for a very short walk on part, yet he gets top billing from Amazon which I think is misleading. The story line has huge gaps. How the movie gets to the final ending is a big mystery. It wasn't worth the $6.99, I paid for it in October, I see it has gone up to $13.49.

It belongs in that highly regrettable ilk of 80's pap, along with the likes of Spyrogyra and Jeff Lorber Fusion (JL appears on this thing as well), mall jazz for the smart set. Avoid it!

Wonderful Primer for Starting a Serious Practice

This book is a wonderful primer for anyone wanting to get started on a meditative practice. I've studied many different forms of meditation over the years, and tried teachers, books, etc... But this book has helped me stick with my practice in a way others haven't. There's no fluff. Every page truly has value.The book is wonderfully practical, and makes it very easy to learn and work the two starter meditations of Buddhism, and to gain value from them. The meditations it teaches are simple yet powerful, and I believe they can improve how people feel about themselves, and operate in the world.I bought this book several years ago, and still turn to it regularly to review the principles and practices it describes. If you're at all interested in practicing meditation, I'd strongly recommend it.

The video footage is ok although the cuts between the different sets are too rough. You don`t get the impression to be on one concert you will think this is more a DVD with Hector`s music videos all lined up. But the worst think is the sound. No Bass at all. I got a 5.1 sourround system but the PCM Stereo sound on this DVD is too bad. When you have an old TV and the complete sound comes out of it, you may don`t have a problem with the sound. But I do! How can someone who owns millions and gives an expensiv concert, release the DVD in such a horrible sound? Wisin y Yandel released their tomando control Live DVD in 5.1 sound.

Another great band gone awful

Tonite the Stars revolt is well... horrible. If you listen to Mega! Kung Fu Radio, or even true force, you will see how downhill this band has gone. What was once one of the most creative bands in the WORLD, is now another lame MTV and Alternative radio friendly Korn styled band. Powerman's first mistake was getting rid of their bongo player, and bringing another guitarist in. I believe they have a new bassist too, since the guy looks totally different, and is nowhere nearly as original as the bassist on Mega!. Even Spider's vocals have gone to crap, from his groovy little raps on the last two albums, to just KoRny KRap, with even more influence of big brother Rob showing. Terrible. I wish I could give this album 0 stars.

Shades of Cormac McCarthy's "Child of God."

Can't ruin premise by detailing the analogy, but if you know Cormac McCarthy's small gem, "Child of God," you will find that Faber's excellent novel explores the same philosophical territory, forcing you to confront your own worldview to sympathize with an amoral protagonist. It's a testament to his powers as a writer that he bends genres (and I won't say which, a spoiler) to do it.

Good phones...for the price, anyway

The Koss Porta-Pro looks delicate, but its folding design belies a hardiness that competitors should try to emulate. All headphones require a "burn-in" period before they sound their best, and that's certainly true of the Koss Porta-Pro.After burn-in, they show themselves to be equal to their reputation. Retailing between $30 and $40 or so, they offer good fidelity at low to medium volume, but grate a bit when pushed too hard. The Porta-Pro works nicely with a variety of musical styles, pop and rock to jazz, but occasionally has trouble with the distortion levels of punk; this may not be a problem with most listeners.While the sound is clear and offers fine fidelity, songs often lack "color" -- a common complaint with less expensive headphones. Yet, compared to its competition, the Porta-Pro offers a much cleaner sound; no irritating bass thump on these phones.These are the iPod phones of choice.

What a great novel! A boy who is not popular in school, in an era that was not very glamoruous, struggling to find his identity in a quickly changing world.

Matthew Wayne Selznick drew me into this new world of 'normal super-heroes' and I do hope there will be a sequel, because I'm a fan now.

Not for small items!

These clamps are very disappointing (and dangerous) when using with small items. The yellow tips rotate and flex losing grip on any small items with great force.

I saw Gunslinger Girl, Gunslinger Girl: Il Teatrino, and the two OVAs. I truly enjoyed the whole anime series and experienced catharsis by watching it. It dealt with deep emotions, ethics, and loss.

Please! It's Entertainment Not Reality!

There's only one reason to see this movie. Entertainment. It's just that simple. If you're looking for profound, this whole movie genre isn't it. If your looking for fast paced action, witty dialogue, an edgy sound track that compliments the plot... a wild, unique approach to stunts, and a totally unconventional, irreverent "secret agent"... then this movie is for you.Vin Diesel makes a very entertaining, believable Xander Cage, but give him a break...this isn't a Shakespeare movie! It's a spy movie and does follow the genre rules, but not enough to make it like any other. Don't take it too seriously and enjoy the ride!

Reads like a long term paper

Steers provides loads of sources and references for his work, but it sure is not very fun to read. The irksome thing about this book is that Steers is so impolitely insulting to any historian who he disagrees with. Wouldn't it be more professional to simply cite a source refuting another's theory? Calling other historians names for drawing differing conclusions just seems bombastic, not scholarly. This book does not give any feel of the time period at the end of the civil war. For pleasure reading, I found books by Swanson, Shaara, Bill O'Reilly and Shelby Foote much more readable and not so harsh to other students of Civil War History.

This is a total rip off and amazon has the nerve to charge me for return shipping. The cord must be plugged into a wall outlet, however the cord is 10" long and it just isn't practical to think my sump is 10" from an outlet.

I would love more than anything to review this movie. However, I have not yet received it -- and my inquiries to the seller have all gone unanswered. I ordered it on December 5...it is now January 7...and still no movie!This has taught me a great lesson -- DO NOT EVER BUY ANYTHING FROM AN AMAZON SELLER!!!! IT IS NOT WORTH THE HASSLE! They have my money now...no wonder they don't bother to answer any inquiries about where my product is!!

Not impressed.

I saw so many good reviews and I expected much more. I bought two packs and of the twelve socks, one had a hole in them when they were shipped. I didn't worry about it and just used the others. The socks have been through the wash approximately 5-7 times. Of the remaining eleven socks, I noticed that two of them had the elastic strings coming through and one has a hole.I gave them two stars because they are not holding up, but, they are comfortable. A lot of my family members swear by gold toe socks, but, when I tried them, I expected them to last much longer than this.

If you have 3 hours to prepare the entre, can purchase exotic ingrediants and have the ability to make a foam sauce this book is for you. If you are an average working class bottom feeder spend the money on fast food rather than this book.

My Utmost for His Highest

Oswarl Chambers has, without a doubt, a special way of putting together a daily devotion that makes the reader really thing about their walk with our Lord Jesus Christ and our communication with God. I would recmmend it to anyone.

One of Pops' Finest Hours

For sheer joy--to say nothing of its historical significance--this meeting of two of New Orleans' greatest is arguably unsurpassed. Thank God that Handy was still alive to hear what Armstrong did to his work--which, simply put, was to sprinkle it with magic. (The liner notes quote Handy as saying, during the recording sessions, that Satch's performances brought tears to his blind eyes.) The CD includes false starts and some rehearsals, which are in their own way delightful: The listener hears the artists' finished products as well as the work that it took to polish them to perfection. After the early Hot Fives and Hot Sevens, this is arguably the best of Pops on record. This is probably my desert island Armstrong disc; I cannot imagine its absence from any serious collection of this artist or, for that matter, from any serious jazz collection. Highest recommendation.

Terrarium & Cage Construction and Care

The book wasnt everything I had hoped for. It did not cover the false bottom method for terrarium/vivarium construction. Seemed out dated and very very basic. Great for ideas, not for construction. Would maybe recommend book for reference but not a single resource.

F61 error

I would not give this a star but am forced to. The unit is a piece of junk, it started giving me a f61 error code after 2-3 uses. I would not recommend this to anybody. Avoid it like the plague.

a funny read

Look people, this is meant to be an amusing (and informative) look at the dot com blowup. That it accomplishes. It's not Shakespeare and isn't meant to be. I think most readers who go in with that expectation will find this a very entertaining book, especially those unfamiliar with why the bubble burst in the first place.

Features, but hardly works

I've been a Roxio/ EZ CD Creator user for many years. This version and suite packs a lot of features - everything you need for multimedia it seems.Has a lot of programs that start in the background and run all the time - they use quite a bit of your memory. It also hangs, or just refuses to open components. I often have to reboot in order for it to do what I want to get done (and I have a decent PC, working in the IT business). I have not gotten a slideshow to complete - it always locks up using all the cpu and I have to kill it. The videowave version gives me so many problems I generally give up and open Videowave version 4.1 - can you believe it, so much better! I can still burn CDs great, but anything else it just raises my blood pressure. What a waste of money.

This book is better than the movie.

I am a loyal fan of Babylon 5. I enjoyed the movie Babylon 5: In the Beginning a lot, which tempted me to buy the book. I was glad that I did. The book was written very well expressing the story with more depth. It also contained situations that were not shown in the movie. The movie would be much better if it had used this book for the script. To all Babylon 5 fans or book readers of interest, this is an excellent book that I recommend.

Product is as described

Received the book in about a week and a half. Came nicely packaged - protected in 2 layers of waterproof envelopes. The book is as described - a facsimile of the original work. Quality wise it's not as aesthetic as I'd imagined and a bit hard to follow with tiny writings. Nonetheless, a handy reference for the history aficionado. Overall - a good coffee table book and a definite conversation piece. Would definitely buy from this seller and Amazon again.

Sweet game

I think this game is really good. I diddn't by the game but I did rent it. I think the graphics could of been a little better since it was made by the same people who made the best TM, Twisted Metal Black. But besides that this game is really good. I think you should get this game but only if your not as good as me. I bet the game with every single person!

Not bad for the money

I've been wearing this daily for almost 2 years. It's kinda cheap looking but I did pay premium price either.Things I like -1. Stainless steel band. I'm tired of throwing watches away simply because I wore out the leather or rubber bands.2. Long battery life.Things I don't like -1. The two dails are not aligned 100%. I noticed this right out of the box. Cheap, cheap, cheap!2. Ajusting the time back an hour with the analog hands is pain.

A far cry from the MDR-A44L

These headphones are extremely flimsy and lack the kick needed to accurately reproduce music and even speech. The Sony MDR-A44L was the benchmark of the vertical in-the-ear design. It's a shame that Sony discontinued the MDR-A44L in favor of the overly cheapened MDR-W08L.

New dog, old tricks

This album i another great SAGA JAZZ release. I don't think this material is easily available elsewhere.After a few listens I am warming up to this- it is not gas pedal to the floor steam roller swing like the Jimmy Rushing days, but the rhythm section is still grooving away. It is crisp and lively. If you like the 1930's to 40's Basie I think you will like this. If you are mpre of a fan of large orchestras, you still might, but as that is not my cup o' tea, I can't vouch!

A passionate and interesting book.

I had to read this book for English and expected a book that couldn't relate to the struggles teens have to face. However, I was shocked, but delighted in finding that this book managed to write about these problems in a way that was human. The underlaying themes- racism, multiculturalism, fitting in socially, dealing with illegitimicy and tradition, are beautifully dealt with. The way in which she discovers her past helps us to think their may be a future. I strongly recommend this book to everyone.

The Empire 5 Star 500 - #92

Why did they really jail Thoreau? Capote is the story of an American legend. Anyone that has every taken a creative writing course knows the way it goes. This film adds details, depth, and dialogue to the classic story behind a classic story. A brutal murder. A Trail. The death penalty. In the middle of it all: A love story. All throughout the process the author Truman Capote interviews the murderer and writes the renown book In Cold Book. The only thing more sensational then book is the story behind it. A very historically interesting and literally inspiring movie. Phillip Seymour Hoffman does an outstanding job playing Truman Capote. This performance is certainly in a league of its own. Capote tackles an extremely eccentric storyline with tact, thoughtfulness, intelligence, and style.

An insult to intelligence!

This book is not all bad. There are brief passages that are even remotely original. However, the majority of this novel is uncomfortably shallow and lacking any real Truth or Beauty. And contrary to some other reviews, I never felt challenged by Quinn to reexamine my thoughts or actions. For something better, try Tom Robbins, Wim Coleman, Mark Leyner, or Derrick Jensen (listed with first being best).DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK until you have read a passage from it or at least skimmed the first few dialogue shifts.And remember, no matter how eloquent somebody may sound -- this all really just comes down to personal opinion.

Where is the main plot line?

The first part was really interesting what with all the destruction, etc. However, there were too many characters and I got lost in all the side stories. Then in the second part, they introduce a whole new set of characters, a few thousand years in the future, about some guy with a Spanish name. They get off track a lot and there are some plot inconsistencies... But overall, they really need a better copy editor than King James. What the heck was he doing editing anyway.. didn't he have a country to run? That is like Sylvester Stallone winning the Miss America pageant or Steve Jobs becoming a professional wrestler... it just doesn't make sense.

Cheap imitation leather - false advertising

First of all this is not a leather pouch as it is advertised. It is cheap plastic. Also the area around the belt clip is extremely weak and after the 2nd time I pulled the pouch off of my belt, the clip ripped from the pouch on 3 sides.

Following on the Path

I am one of the original readers of Be Here Now when it came out in 1971. When I found this DVD available it was a good way to see where Ram Dass had been traveling these last 3 decades.It was nice to revisit an old friend and was inspiring. It would be a good video for young ppl on the path to see.

Another Great Book-To-Movie

One of my all-time favorites. Great locations, timeless story, excellent production values, and of course, a marvelous cast. No actor is mis-cast. The film never becomes maudlin or overly sentimental, though in another director's hand that might have happened. It simply tells the story the way Conrad told it.My DVD library won't be complete until this is added to it. When will it be released on DVD?

Did not fit in my 12 x 12 scrapbook

Maybe it's because of the brand of album I was using, but these Pioneer inserts did not fit. Once I inserted them into the album (following the company's own instructions), a 12 x 12 sheet of paper would not fit in the sleeve without being bent. They do not have the extra half-inch between the sleeve and the holes, and this is necessary (otherwise part of the sleeve is covered by the binding of the album, and everything in the album gets bent when you flip through it). Although the packaging said it could be used with a post-style album, it's clear these are made only for 3-ring binders and nothing else.It's a difficult issue to explain, so I hope this makes sense. I was told at Michael's that they would fit "any 12 x 12 album," and this is simply not true. I also found the plastic to be very flimsy.

Severely undersized!

I am average size and this adult combo did not come close to fitting me. Nothing fit. The helmet was way too small. The wrist guards were way to small, and seemed cheap, as were the pads. The helmet seemed good, which is why I gave it two stars. I think this is meant for someone smaller/more petit/female or 10-14 year old. Unfortunately, the entire combo just doesn't cut it. I returned mine. I bought this from [...], through Amazon, and I have to say their customer service was excellent, albeit a bit slow at first. Still, they arranged for a pick up, etc., and had no problem with the return. Obviously, this was not their fault, as they provided the product, and I believe it was the manufacture's fault for not properly describing it accurately. I was easily buy from Dazadi again (and of course Amazon is a no-brainer). Pass on this.

Save your money and your rage.

I saw this movie opening night. What can I say, other than I laughed through the last three quarters of the film. It is obviously made to be taken seriously. And if your idea of a great, intellectually stimulating movie is "power rangers", then this is for you. With out spoiling any of the plot, if you can find one, this is basically a slasher film in space. "Scientists" (and this term is used very loosely) go into space seeking first contact. The crew of the first ever interstellar ship is manned with people from an insane asylum, and sent to investigate alien ruins. It would have been a much better film, if it had been shot with Will Ferrell or Adam Sandler as the lead.

I was excited to purchase this headset and use it on runs. The setup was easy, however the sound was very intermintant. I tried it on two different phones and my computer. They all had the same problem. Each item worked fine on my other bluetooth ear piece. I assumed that it was defective and I had it replaced however it had the same problem.Save your money and buy it when they work out the bugs

An over-rated single.

It would appear that this single is being grossly over-rated here. Four stars overall? Yes, the different versions of Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses are pretty good, arguably better than the original, but the cover of Fortunate Son is without a doubt U2's worst cover ever. U2 have done some fantastic covers, most notably Dancing Barefoot, but Fortunate Son is a disaster. It sounds promising initially but Bono's vocals are terrible. Personally, I find Paint It Black to be enjoyable to listen to, but objectively, it's not a quality cover either.Only for the collectors.

Fan blades break easily (bought 2 of these)

We bought one of these, and the fan blades broke after 1 days use. We returned it to the store, and picked up a second. Those blades lasted a month. The design is very poor, and these blades will probably continue to break.The cooler also fits awkwardly on your lap, because of the way the cord exits the cooler. As a mechanical engineer, I consider this a very poor design.

What an awful film

This edition to the star wars universe is crap. The actors looked utterly out of place when meshed with the CGI (the fault of the director). And haveing the movie pander to a 6 year old didn't help it any either. This movie was riddeled with pointless reaction shots from Anakin and JarJar. Instead of buying this peace of crap I got the Phatom Edit 1.1. This is a fan edit of this movie that ends up only being little under an hour and it's a better film for it.

Would be even better without the movie dialogue

Like many others, I watched the movie and thought the music was spectacular. I got the CD, hoping that I could relax to the Celtic music. However, there are many times when the relaxing atmosphere is interrupted by the movie dialogue. If 'dialogue included' is what you want, then this is for you. If you are looking for ambient Celtic music to cool out to, then I'd stay away from this.
