Simply Useful
|
Our child doesn't have to be reminded to use the spell check very often when he writes. However auto-correcct and some of the other optionns given don't always have the meaning he is going for. This speller & dictionary comes in handy once the writing assignment has been hand written or printed out for proof reading. The dictionary can be a little slow and some words are just not available unless you look them up the old fashioned way with an actual dictionary; but I still rate it at 4 stars. Learning new words takes time and I don't think an 8 to 10 second wait is going to hurt anybody.

The Party, starring Peter Sellers
|
I found "The Party" with Peter Sellers even funnier than "The Pink Panther". Peter, as a self-effacing, smiling, incredibly polite, and immaculately dressed Indian gentleman stumbles by mistake into an elegant party. What happens next is almost unbelievable!

This is a sexy book. Not as good as the Winston Brothers. These are fun sexy books. Not serious erotica. You know in the beginning the girl will get the boy. But all the brothers are sex symbols, I cannot say the same for the women.

Very Good!

I am really digging Maureen especially after this book! No lie, I bought this book for the romance, but when I realized how amazing the plot was the romance seemed to be an added bonus. At one point I was like "yess! They are making love! ....ok now let's get back to the drama"Really good book! Strongly recommended!

nothing compelling
|
I am only giving this book two stars instead of one because the author does have some talent. However, that said, this book was so dull that I only got a little over half way through it before giving up, though I really tried to give it a chance. The story lagged and was painfully dull and none of the characters except for the children were interesing or likeable. Something about the whole book just felt old, from hokey Viki with "sausage curls" going to bed early each night to the use of the word "colored". At times the language also felt a bit pretentious. I believe people and places like those found in this book exist, I just don't find them interesting.

Spend your $$ on the book, not this film
|
I read the book by Michael Crichton and loved it. However, when my friends and I headed excitedly to the theater to see the movie, we were actually embarrassed to be sitting there when the lights came up. Horrible script, laughable editing...it does no justice to the book whatsoever.Posting this will hopefully prevent further victims.

SUCH a good workout
|
Lindsay's post-natal boot camp helped me get back into shape after I had my daughter so I knew to look to her for a new DVD. I was looking for something to help me kick up my exercise routine a little bit and the Shed 5 fast DVD was exactly perfect! I've had the DVD for 2.5 weeks and have lost 3 pounds already and feel like I am using muscles I haven't used in a while! The workouts are very good--hard, but really fun and, most importrant for busy women, fast! The combination of weights and cardio-kickboxing make me feel like I have had a great workout. If you are looking to lose some extra pounds fast, to add an unexpected fun aspect to your workout routine, or see some quick definition in your muscles, this is the DVD for you--it does all of those things!

Editorial Comments from the Publisher
|
"Parody of all fairy tales". Large cast, male or female / simple sets / 45 minutes. STORY: "In this merry adventure, we find such familiar characters as a wicked stepmamma, a giant, a fairy godmamma, a lovely young girl and a handsome boy. There are exciting difficulties to overcome and amusing antics to go through before the story is solved. Equally entertaining for children and adults. Plenty of action, and laughter in abundance."

Read The Real Thing
|
Christian People,If you want to celebrate what Jesus celebrated then read a Jewish Hagaddah. "Messianic" hagaddah is like saying "Christian" Koran. It's just silly. As a Jew I appreciate your wanting to learn but...learn from the real thing not a made up phony version of a terrific story. Get yourself a real Hagaddah.One star only because I had to do something.

An enigma wrapped in a puzzle.
|
"A Prayer For Owen Meany," despite being better than expected, is a tedious book to read. It is true the book is cynical and fun, but the fun quickly ends. The chapters are long and filled to the brink with random narrations and uninteresting scenes. Though Irving makes a habit of catching the reader's attention with ... innuendo before an abundance of religious allusions, the pattern does not repeat as often as is needed to renew a defeated interest in the book. If the book had an excellent theme or something to that effect, I would still recommend the book (albeit, after much hesitation). However, the novel's theme is difficult to find and many long, dull chapters can be read without any idea of what to analyze. Only in the end of the book is the theme noticible and even then, Irving could have emphasized such a cliche theme from the beginning.

This item creates circles that have an uneven, jagged edge. I'd say the cutting metal inside is made poorly and this creates a pretty heinous circle. A waste of money.

Inexpensive, but you get what you pay for
|
I was swayed by the cheap price, but regretted it soon after. The player is bulky, unattractive, has cheap membrane buttons, worst of all, was skipping frequently or would not load some of my DVDs altogether. On top of it, the flimsy plastic notch intended to keep the battery attached broke off after a while. I've now bought a more expensive Panasonic LS50, which is smaller, better built, and so far has worked out great.

You Can Do Better

When you compare this book to the 2-sided PLANISPHERE,the book is almost useless.Go with a planisphere and or a software such as "Galileo Planetarium",(Complete Guide TO The Cosmos Ver.1.8).A planisphere will track by the month and the hour.A software will include the planets.New comers should be careful to order a planisphere within the latitude of their location.I myself would not have bought this book if I had fliped through it in a book store.I expected more.The knowledge is better than nothing,but you can do much better.

Very poor casting
|
This was my first recording of DonG, from which I learned the opera. So I ought to like it, right? Nope.Ghiaurov is dead wrong for DonG, which is a role for a midrange baritone, not an aging power-bass. His acting is overblown and unfelt at the same time.Franz Crass is bland and boring as the Commendatore, and gets outsung by Ghiaurov.Christa Ludwig is a mezzo. What's she doing trying to sing Donna Elvira???Mirella Freni is too big for Zerlina's role. I don't know why she pretended to be a small singer so often. She's probably only in the cast because she was Ghiaurov's wife.Claire Watson is emotionally unconvincing as Donna Anna.Even Walter Berry is mundane as Leporello.The only good casting decision is Nicolai Gedda as Don Ottavio.

RIDE OR DIE

Body rides is another interesting book by laymon because it's alot different then what were used to reading from the man...A man saves a woman from certain death by a lunatic and as a reward she gives him a very special bracelet once given to her....This bracelet lets the wearer hop into bodys and view the world through another persons eyes and it's a good thing too because the man he saved her from is coming back for her and he's next....I enjoyed it, it's not his best but it's nowhere near his worst, and with all that i almost forgot about the sex and violence which is seldom missing from a laymon book. But then again thats why we love the man.

Totally Crap.
|
Not only is the art below par, the one thing that gets me the most about this show is the blatant idiocy and prejudice of the girls.Throughout the series, the girls are always flaunting their "popularity", always putting down the kids who are different, as if they were, as human beings, any less human. The girls may have a go-getter attitude, but they have a very powerful attitude vs. authority problem. In one of the episodes, Alex applies for a job at the mall... but is constantly flaring about how she doesn't "have to listen to anyone!" This is the kind of attitude that fosters school bullying problems, and results in school shootings.Sorry, but I'm not interested in teaching my children arrogance, attitude, and to follow the false "popular-is-best" lie that society gets trapped in so much.

5th Episode, More About Bill - Recommended
|
This is the fifth episode in the HBO adaptation of the popular Sookie Stackhouse vampire novels (the first episode is Strange Love, see my review there for the content description).We get to see more of Bill's past as he gives a talk about his Civil War (or "War for Southern Independence" as the characters call it) experiences as he was a Confederate soldier. Since he was a "local", he also knows about the history of several ancestors of current town residences. The use of flashbacks was well done and helped give more insight into Bill's past.This series is not for everyone and definitely not for younger viewers!CFH

Broke after a few CDs
|
I bought this shredder to replace an older Aurora model and to be able the shred some old CDs.While it worked very nicely with paper, CD's were a different story: After only a few CD's the machine was history. One CD got stuck with a loud noise, which was the last sound of the motor. Even after disassembling (and voiding the guarantee) the machine and extracting the remainders of the half-shredded CD, it never started working again...I am very disappointed ;-(

This is a Black Market Dealer
|
This person is an unauthorized Global Health Trax dealer, which is why the price is at black market price (the set price for ThreeLac at Global Health Trax is $48.50). The company has been trying to find out who is selling her GHT products and threatened legal action. Unauthorized dealers buy from unscrupulous GHT dealers in bulk discount, so you don't know how old, fresh, or alive the product is (ThreeLac contains live bacteria that will die under cerntain conditions, such as extreme heat or prolonged cold temperatures). In addition, you will not receive any instructions for how to take the product or any support or guidance from this dealer, nor does she provide the unconditional 60 day money back guarantee that an authorized GHT dealer offers. Be careful who you order from!

Over the last year I've gone thu most of the really good novels of this genre.A lot of my fantasy friends sold me on this book.Disappointing.The book was wrote for teenagers,or kids just about to be teens.It was a rehash of The Wheel Of Time.A bad one at that.Save your money, move on to something with more realistic relationships.The flow of the story was awful,hard to keep up with and then for pages nothing would happen.

A major let down, gloomy from start to finish. Mentioning no names but killing off two of the main charachters did not help.The likes of Larry Fishburne and Lambert Wilson are woefully under-used, two great charchters that made Reloaded great!However the final showdown between Smith & Neo stands out, a great set piece that reminds me of Superman 2!Jada pincket Smith and Marvin Gay's daughter are very sexy.

this has to be the worst cookie press ever. I used it several times hoping i just needed to get use to it. Not the case at all. If dough is the slightest bit too thick it will not work at all, just grinds and nothing will come out. Too soft and it sticks inside the mechanism. batteries... completely differnet story. they do not last through even one batch of cookies. I wish I had never wasted my money. My old Maunal Betty Crocker cookie press someone gave me for a wedding present 25 years ago is still going strong and has just now started to slip Of course I made 6 batches of cookie and 4 batches of chees straws. So I am on he hunt for a new one and I have learned my lession that higher price and a name does not mean better quality.

Excitement, Suspense and Biblical Truth all in one!
|
These books were very enjoyable and kept me wanting to read more. Bill Myers has a wonderful talent with writing non-fiction, but including Biblical Truth throughout. By the end of this trilogy I wanted to study my Bible more and learn what the character, Brandon Martus, had learned. This book would be a wonderful gift for anyone who enjoys non-fiction/science-fiction type books. I believe high-school aged readers through any aged adult readers would also enjoy this trilogy.

This is by far the best copy on dvd of this movie. I was tempted in the past to buy this version but hesitated until I read other reviews on your website and decided to purchase this version after reading the high reviews.

Followed the instructions about removing the tab and waiting..... how does 24 hrs. sound?

Either they have had these on their shelves for years or there's a basic design defect. Either way.... be warned!

Lusions
|
The "customer" who reviewed Lusions as "Arrogance Exemplified" obviously did not read the book. There is no poem in it to hint at autobiography or arrogance. Rather, the book presents a much welcomed world view of the cultural development of violence, from pre-history to our contemporary period, broad enough for any reader to connect to it personally. All of Ragan's works that I have read are universal in their dimensions. I strongly recommend that this reviewer let go of what sounds like a personal grudge toward quality literature. I give Lusions my highest recommendation.

Distasteful Story
|
With due credit to James Patterson, this is only the second of his books that I have read with the first being The Jester. Everyone I know who reads James Patterson, raves about his writing so I've got to give this guy another chance as See How They Run is one of the worst books I've read. Actually, only a third of the way through, I was so bored and disgusted with the plot and charactors that I skimmed to the end just to see if the so-called incredible ending was as I had figured out early on. The charactors were unbelievable, the plot development uneven and the actual story was, in my opinion, in very bad taste.

Not the real stuff...
|
Back when, Connolly hide food was "the" leather conditioner. It was recommended by Jaguar, Rolls Royce, Bentley etc. It used to be made of cattle by-products, so really did contain the stuff that makes leather soft, and avoids drying out - albeit at an animally-type smell! I've brought back many a rough looking leather car interior with this hide food.But no more. The latest jar I purchased had all those ingredients gone. Now it's just the boring lanolin-based hide food - which is really not that wonderful.I'd certainly say this was not worth it's premium price.

Headset had very good sound quality. Just one sad thing, it will not work while you are using a treadmill. My wife was very disappointed!

a read for armchair non sailors
|
wish i hadnt bought the book it will end up being donated somewhere. The valuable information is that for beginners they should start with a small boat, preferably a dinghy and learn the craft. The author bought his boat fully equipped for crusing from frank dye whose books are well worth buying.Although the writing style is readable, I am convinced that the author really doesnt like sailing or the sea. There is a mechanical approach to getting from a to b and if it means breaking out the credit card or asking for a tow so be it. The final nail in the coffin is the authors cutting short the trip because?

Save your money and time.
|
There is only about 1/3 of a page's worth of useful information in this book. And it's all the same stuff you can find in any good book about parrot care (start young, use structure, be animated, use contextual references, be patient). A book by Blanchard, Athan, or Doane will tell you these things, but they will also give you much more complete information on training and care. This book is, instead, filled with many big, glossy photographs. They are beautiful, but quite useless. Perhaps this is a good child's picture book.

Disappointing

Perhaps, if you have a Ph.D. in English, belong to the Modern Languages Association, and teach in a university where postmodernism is requisite, this is the book for you. I gave up half way through, finding these essays for the most part too rambling and self-referential - too "academic." If you are not a professional academic but are curious about why and how poetry moves one, spend your money on Mary Oliver's A Handbook of Poetry - half the price, half the length, and twenty times the useful information.

If you've never rebuilt a carter carb, this book may be Ok. If your looking for jet sizes used on OEM applications, or tricks to make your thermoquad, etc run even better...this book has nothing to offer. No venturi size comparison, no metering rod or jet sizing, no suggestions for compensating for altitude, etc. The little sheet of paper that comes with most carb kits will give you the same set up info as this book, and its "free" with the carb kit.

"The Shadow Univeristy" - The Truth
|
The Shadow University takes the political correctness horror of the early 90's and puts it into prospective. It was a nightmare time for professors, even those with tenure. No one cared. The female student was always right. No one, student or teacher, was safe from attack. Universities did not follow their own rules. Many good professors lost jobs and left teaching. What a sad day for higher education. This book tells the story and it is sad.

Good, but Still Has a Few Kinks to Work Out
|
Line of Control is wonderful military novel with many twists and turns that keep the reader guessing what will happen next. Rovin illustrated wonderfully the conflict that would arise between two enemies who were forced to work together for the greater good.However, I do feel that the author does digress from the story a little too often. He sites previous books in the series more then is necessary for the storyline and over-explains military terms.But other then that I would suggest this novel to anyone who enjoys military or intellgence novels.

So it isn't politically correct...Jeez!

No Zulu war chants? This is a CD of music John Barry composed for the film Zulu. I imagine that the composer of the war chantswas someone very much entirely different. The chants are magnificent, don't get me wrong (didn't Ridley Scott transpose them to Gladiator, god knows how), but they don't belong here.Another case of taking political correctness to an absurd extreme. "Color Sergeant Bourne, what's that shooting?!" "A rifle, Hughes." Zulu is only a great movie, made better by crap like Gladiator and Troy, and Barry's score is one of his three or four best.

I've spent hours playing Quake 3 on my PC. These hours add up to days, months even. I play online. I play in tournaments online. I can't get enough. The PS2 version is a mere shadow of the PC version. Graphics are muddy (even with an S-Video connection), control is awful. I could write paragraphs expounding on the awfulness of the control. This game is designed for use with a keyboard and mouse. Some first person shooters can pull off the use of a controller (Southpark for N64 works wonderfully). If you've never played Quake 3 and you like first person shooters, buy it for PC (it almosts warrants buying the PC). Anyone who likes this game even a little for PC should not consider renting this game - in fact, avoid even looking in its general direction,I admit to playing only multiplayer (with two others). I did not try the story mode. I did not want to.Run away from this version. Better yet, destroy it as soon as you see it.

Amatuerish writing by an egomaniac with little to say.
|
I was initially shocked at the large point font. Later I realized that this was necessitated by the author's lack of writing or observational skills.The story starts strongly, but then wimpers out. He concentrates on the soap opera aspects of the climbing team while ignoring the human versus mountain drama.An annoying, frustrating little book after reading "Into Thin Air", "The Perfect Storm" and "Endurance".Look at the cover, then don't bother further with this one.

Improvement
|
This stand is well made, sturdy and easy to assemble.It is predrilled for mounting DeWalt planers.It comes with a package of 2 1/2" bolts for mounting the planer. When mounting my DeWalt 735, I found that 3" bolts were required.It would seem that DeWalt would know the proper size bolts for mounting their planer and include them in the hardware.

Her Other Books Are Better
|
Although Dara Joy is at the top of my list for favorite authors, her work was a real disappointment in this book. There were too many characters and subplots which---to me at least--- distracted from the main plot and focus of the hero and heroine. It was a cute idea, and I got a real belly-laugh over the one bedroom scene where the hero gets a black eye, but with Dara's incredible imagination I know she could have done better. Maybe it was the deadline...who knows?

Trek Mi Q'an Series
|
I am going to review the whole Trek Mi Q'an series to book 7 in this one review. I looked at Jaid Black's books because I read some great reviews on her. These seven books as she calls them have a great story line. A couple of them I am not even sure they are required for the story. We will find out when she completes the series. She may have created them just to get more money. Some of the books are a rip off for the are not very long. One is about 35 pages of story per my kindle fire, 29 pages per IPAD. It was listed as 154 pages on amazon. After I complete this series I will not buy any more of her books, as not sure if I will get the number of pages I think I am getting. I see others complained in their reviews of those about the price and how long they were. I want to know how it ends so it is the only reason I will only buy the last 3 books that will be out in the next 2 years.

Paranoid
|
Given the tone, this book is many things, but well researched is not one of them. Virulently anti-Gore, the authors are naturally predisposed to dig up information that allegedly cemments their own positions.Along with the familiar drivel about the environment and the internet, the authors "raise questions about Gore's character" Since sensationalism is all the authors seem to come up with, it is only fair to expose the author's lack of. Al Gore is hardly the extreme leftwing Democrat his detractors have painted him to be.Of course, this persistent stereotyping and misinformation does not establish good journalism, and the consumer is left with something that could be relegated to the trash bin. Individuals looking for a balanced work ought to spend their money else where.

Excellent Voice, Music, lyrics....
|
I bought this CD about a year and a half ago while I was still in Spain. It's a shame that we can't turn on a latin station, or any station for that matter, and listen to songs like theirs on the radio. The lead singer's voice is hypnotizing, very beautiful. Their lyrics are fantastic and I definitely recommend people buy their CD.

A game that shouldn't have been created
|
Mega Man has been a great game series, but Battle Chip Challenge is the worst game I've evered played. IN this game you collect battle chips and arrange them on a grid. You then enter a battle and use them on the enemy navi. Unfourtunly the chips are selected at random and since everything is done automaticly all you do is press L or R to use a chip asigned to that button, or the A button to keep things going. And don't think for a second that the process of obtaining battle chips can be fun like Nintendo Power Magazine said it would be, IT"S NOT! Are you looking for a club? Because if you were to get Mega Man BCC that's all you'll get, an expensive club. On the Scale of 1-5 this game is a -5.

Addictive!

Refreshing to see a new show like this. When it was first released, I thought how can they stretch a theme about two plastic surgeons into a successful series? Well they have, and each show is both engaging and exciting.Season 1 is worth seeing, but Season 2 is even better! Many people missed Season 1 on TV, so obtaining this DVD box gives you the chance to see how it all started.In Australia, we are viewing the final episodes of Season 2. It is so popular here that the Tv Network is broadcasting it twice a week. Each episode of this latest season is enthralling and hard to switch off. I can't remember the last time I enjoyed a series so much.I was not a fan of Julian McMahon before this show mainly because I remembered the shows he was in here in Australia before moving to LA. However, he is outstanding in Nip/Tuck. He has certainly perfected his art since the old days.Well done!

Nice to Meet Sophie Kinsella Again!
|
Ever since I devoured "Shopaholic", I was awash with anticipation for another peek into Sophie's mind. Emma and Becky are strong women who know what they want...and they drag us with them trying to find it! I cannot wait for "Secret" to come out on audio tape! These stories are the only things that make a long, solitary drive tolerable. Way to go Sophie! Looking forward to a great deal more from you!

The first movie to actually Shock me!
|
I first saw this movie just 2 years ago. I had already seen Pulp fiction, Dead man, Straw dogs, Reservoir dogs and A Clockwork Orange. The hype about there violence was always over the top and I was never shocked, but Ricochet I had heard no hype for, and I was Plenty Shocked, which was a very new sensation. The film is great, but I don't think its the sort you'd want to watch over and over. Denzel is great, as usual.

Piece of junk
|
This pump only lasted about a month... I only pump about once a day, and although it worked great for a while, it didn't last. The motor suddenly began sputtering and eventually the suction gave out... Nothing I did could fix the problem. Evenflo does not give a whole lot of troubleshooting suggestions. The problem could of been milk in the motor, but the design is so that this is difficult to avoid. I would advise anyone to just spend the extra money in a better pump with better customer support. This one went in the trash.

Straight ripoff!! I'd rate this a -10 !!!
|
I can only agree with the other negative reviews. This "game" is a complete waste of time and money. Most "games" in this collection either wouldn't install or would freeze my system (and I'm not running junk here). I finally got "Pinball 10" to run but it is very sluggish. The support is a joke. I've expressed my displeasure but Encore has not gotten back with me. Likewise (as Lafayette Gamer), Encore will not have a repeat customer here.

Great show
|
This CD is truly amazing...If anyone here has actually seen the show, it is truly an amazing and groundbreaking piece.My favorite track is "The Schmuel Song"...This album is a must for any serious muscical theater fan. Jason Robert Brown has created a truly memorable and groundbreaking score which is truly both heartwarming and heart-wrenching.

wrong thing thanks to a wrong pic
|
The pic previewed with this bit is the wrong pic. The description is for a dbl headed router bit. If I had been paying more attention, I would have caught the mistake. I wanted the bit in the picture not the description. The picture of a 45 degree router bit you don't seem to carry in stock, and i had to go elsewhere to buy.

Excellent Start for Getting the Basics of Continuous Improvement

Looking for a solid introduction to continuous improvement? This may be a better book to guide your effort than many introductory books. This book includes basic introduction to Design of Experiment, where most efforts and books would ignore in continuous improvement.

See this movie just for Ian McKellen's performance!
|
"Gods and Monsters" is a superb movie about the last days of gay film director James Whale -- who directed "Frankenstein" and "Bride of Frankenstein". The acting is superb, especially Ian McKellan in the lead. I thought it dragged in a few areas, but on the whole it was a great movie.

A real bummer
|
I'm a big mac user, usually love their products, but I gotta say . . . this mouse has turned out to be a disappointment. Two reasons:1. The right-click/left-click technology has never worked.2. The scroller just stopped working today . . . after owning it for only a matter of months. I can no longer stroll down, just up and side-to-side.I've just ordered a new mouse.

Guesses

all religion is based on guesses, like science. this book is what he "thinks" heaven is, or he is just scamming this christian country for some money (most likey the latter). who knows if there is a god, we just assume there is because its been beaten in to american all the way from the indians. christian europeans came here, told the indians to belive in god or we will kill you. so this country became a forced christian country.noone really knows if there is after life. its all guesses. in my opinion, religion came from a need to explain something. if we couldnt explain something, then god did it. where do we come from? god did it. where do tress come from? god made them. where did the universe come from? god made it.makes perfect sense, this guy is just guessing his way to a fortune. wish i would have thought of this book.

Your plot will thicken.

I agree with another reviewer that this book is one of the best books of its kind. Even though most of my stories are character-driven, the advice in this book reminds me that without a solid plot, my characters have nowhere to go but away.

Go to Home Depot instead
|
The price for this piece of Masonite is ridiculous. Go to Home Depot and get a piece of 1/4" plywood or a piece of Masonite for 10x less. The Angelcare monitor, however, is totally worth it--five stars!

not exactly what I had hoped for
|
I was kind of excited to find a book written by archeologists. I love historical fiction, and I am interested in the early Amerinds. Actually, there is a lot of good attention to detail in this book. Names of plants, ways of life: it all seemed very real. I found myself perusing an atlas: where exactly are these "sideways mountains"?However, there were some aspects of this book that really turned me off. Okay, I get it that Amerinds engaged in sexual relations. But it seemed a bit overdone. You know, the I-can't-give-this-to-my-teen feeling.What was worse was all the mysticism and spiritual stuff. Again, I understand why it was included. But it was incredibly overdone, consuming many pages. I finally had to stop reading. The theology of these people (as imagined) was so illogical as to be painful, and it threw a wrench into what was otherwise good writing.Think of "Dune" only set in Montana. Actually the Dune universe made more sense.

Best book on the treatment and care of the bowed tendon
|
Very few have been able to write about the injury, treatment and care so concisely and understandabley to all horse owners. the author never talks down to the reader, instead, communicates on the level of all readers. The first part of the book is devoted to the injury and how it happens and its effects on the horse. The second part of the book is about the treatment and successive training afterward. This is an indispensible book for all horse owners and lovers.

Helpful self-help book.

This book is very easy reading and to understand. It is a self-help type of book, so doing the exercises and following the guideline will help to cure adrenal fatigue. Very worthwhile.

Not same class as "Somewhere In Time"
|
I stumbled upon this as I searched for a copy of "Somewhere in Time". The outstanding 5-star reviews led me to order it, even though it was comparatively expensive. What a sucker. Made for TV, this movie just doesn't ever allow the suspension of disbelief. The dialogue is weak, the acting forced and unconvincing and the technical aspects just silly (like the soap-opera recovery from prolonged traumatic coma). No music. No magic. Rent if you must (if you can find it) but save your money.
