laughable
to all heathens, satanists,Odinists, whatever, please stop with all this Kiss paint, inverted crosses and pentagrams. it is very childish. as Anton LaVey would say, "The black metallers might as well be Christians" he says this because even though they are "evil" their satanism is the Christian-defined satanism, which really makes it hard for people to take them seriously. But besides that, the music here is boring, redundant, and not "evil" in the least bit. Better luck next time.

Give kids more credit - don't make them read this.
One of the worst children's books I've ever read. Used for reading material in a year 5-6 class, it was predictable and dull. I would not recommend it to anyone - young or old - kids have more brains. The very obvious moral is not supported by any humor or interesting writing.

Plot doesn't fit with characters and dialogue
This book was greatly puzzling. The plot is dynamite. A supreme court clerk is being blackmailed into leaking decisions before they are announced. The blackmailer is beyond clever and the plot serious and suspenseful. The main characters, Ben, his roommates and Lisa spend the greater part of the book using snappy dialogue, a very bouncy bunch, totally inappropriate This does NOT fit the serious plot. At the end of the book, some of the characters get very whiney. Personally, I think the Nancy Drew mysteries of my childhood were more mature than The Tenth Justice. I felt like the characters and dialogue belonged to one book and the plot to another. Fortunately, Mr. Meltzer is young, talented and this was his first book. I look forward to better writing in future books

The Box is a Horrible Picture
Okay, the season itself was great! But who wants to see the horrible sixth season picture...again! The pictures were horrible,they should've had Buffy and Willow, I know SPike's a main character, but it should end the way it started, which the series itself did. The box though is a total throw off, and doesn't nearly show the beauty of sarah michelle gellar. They should've cut a picture from an episode, and putit on the cover, as they did with faith's picture on the season three box. As stupid as u think this is, i feel strongly about it. And by the way, buy the dvd. It's one of the seven best tv seasons to watch. You will not be able to take ur eyes off of it.

Most annoying chord book, ever
I have a banjo chord book that is arranged by note. If you want to learn a C7 all you do is go to the C section. This one is arranged by key. If you are a beginner like me, I bet you are just trying to learn chords, not keys yet. You have to flip all through the book trying to find your chord. Find a book where the chords are listed in the order of notes, not by keys. You will be much happier.

Not bad for the money...
I purchased this lighted mirror for my chick as a Christmas gift, and overall I'd say it was a good value. She's pretty happy with it overall, though I think the only complaint might be that the on-board lights are a little dim, and the plastic and shade control knob feels a little cheap. If you put these considerations up against the cost it works out as a fairly good value.

I first heard this c.d. in '89 while visiting a friend in Nashville. I preceded to buy a copy and let my friends in Auburn, AL and Atlanta, GA borrow it. Needless to say, they all bought a copy. It is still one of my favorite album's. I put them up thre with a newer band in Atlanta called The Josh Joplin Band.

Let me Count the Ways
I'm not a mathemetitian (not even sure I can spell it!) so I don't know how many hundreds or thousands of beautifully illustrated poems are contained in this pocket sized deck of cards. I take the "hard copy" of Jeff Encke's deck on all my travels, and especially to any writing workshops. They are wonderful to simply sit and read, shuffle and read again, but I find them most useful as prompts. I've written dozens of poems triggered by a card from the deck. I don't know if a Kindle version would work quite as well for me, since I often use the cards in a group situation, but for the solo reader/writer, it would likely be fine. In any event, buy one version or the other, soon!

Excellent for the one who Travels
I have trusted Eye Witness Travel Guides for many years and they never let me down. My one complaint about this particular guide is its heavy Protestant bias. Mexico is a country of predominately Catholic influence and practice, but the authors chose to down-play that aspect of the deeply beautiful Mexican culture. However, this book gets 4 stars because it shows you the big places and can lead you into the lesser-known treasures of the country. Great for the traveller and the tourist (there is a difference).

Garbage without the nice smell
PLEASE don't buy this movie. I've suffered through this hunk of trash twice and the best I can say is that it doesn't smell a whole lot worse the second time around! The "plot" is juvenile, and it's hard too tell when the action sequences start and/or when they finish, since the camera work is beyond pathetic. I've seen some of the other reviews praising this "thing" and I can only assume that they may have been smoking something that was adulterated. Don't buy this garbage.

Not made in England
The Product Features and Product Description both say Made in England. The Olive Dish that was sent to me says Made in China (on the box and on the sticky tag, but not printed on the dish itself). Still very pretty, and seems like good quality, but I thought I'd post this in case "Made in England" is important to other potential buyers. I considered returning it when I saw the tag because I had read in other reviews that the Made in China ones were inferior quality and didn't match well to other Blue Italian sets. But when I opened the package I decided to keep it because it is really lovely and I think it looks just like my mom's other Blue Italian pieces. (We'll see when I can view it right next to the others.)

Oil pump is plastic junk & requires complete removal of the engine to replace. My pump failed after 8 hours of use.Also the choke control protrudes & catches on clothing & shuts down saw.

Dude-these things are bad enough new.
We bought a Gateway and Windows got hosed for some reason. We called 1-800-GATEWAY for support. Guess what? If you buy a Gateway anywhere but their website you must call a separate toll number. WTF!? Then we needed to restore it but the restore partition was bad. Had to get the recovery disk. They charged me $20 for a $1 CD-R. Then it wouldn't work, and they wanted to charge me to tell me how to use it. Again WTF? These people are horrible. Save yourself a lot of trouble and get a Mac. Get HP. Get an abacus. Anything but Gateway.

Very uneven
Following a rather politically charged introduction (the Lewinsky scandal is mentioned in the first sentence), the book has eight chapters, with two each apportioned to George Washington, William Wilberforce, Abraham Lincoln, and Alexandr Solzhenitsyn. The inclusion of Washington is baffling: if did anything that required character, it is certainly not described in his chapters, which include a short biography and a summary of his views on religious liberty. The chapters on Wilberforce and Lincoln are good. Those on Solzhenitsyn are so brief (and heavily edited) as to be unmoving.

This tub is great!
We love this tub! Our daughter has been very comfortable in this tub since day one and it is very easy to work with since it has one side for newborns and the other side for infants/toddlers who can sit up more or less on their own. It has a drain plug but we have found it easier to just dump the bath water out into our bathtub as well as letting this infant tub dry in there. Definitely recommend this tub to all new parents!

Piece of crap - Netgear will charge you to return
Bought this router less than 2 months ago and started having DNS problems (no internet). It was due to heat, the router chips get too hot and starts failing. I called netgear and they know about this issue and gave me an RMA right away. Now they want to charge me $15 to cross ship the product, no way I said. I will wait until it burns itself out then return it. This product was badly designed and a lot of people are having the same probelms. If netgear cared about thier customers they should replace it free of charge.

A wonderful introduction to Broadway for small children!
This is my 3 year old daughter's favorite CD. It has a great variety of songs from different shows. She loves to sing along, and will be able to identfy with the shows as she gets older. The kids are very talented, and most of the songs are easy to sing along with. Even I enjoy them (as a mom!). Its a welcome break from Barney and Sesame Street.

why would this company advertise a "Play Set" when all they are really selling is the hardware? I think they need to re-phrase the ad. This is extremely mis-leading! You still need to buy all the wood for the "play set" once you receive the hardware kit that is advertised as a "play set". I will never buy anything from this company, they are trying to cheat you!

Bought two of these. One as a gift and one for myself. Luckily I tried mine out before I gave the other away. This thing just vibrates. NO MASSAGE AT ALL!! After 30 seconds you get nausea...its not worth 23.99...its a piece of junk. Trust me you are not getting a bargain. I guess you pay for what you get, but in this case I can't even say that because in no way will this help someone with a bad back or someone who needs a rub.

The one, the only, Jimi Hendrix.
This is a great read and for all the Jimi Hendrix P.H.D's out there, at least give this dear woman some credit for telling the truth and sharing her experience.This book lets us peek into Jimi's soul a little closer and we can see how strong willed Jimi had to be to turn tragedy into triumph- the tragedy of a rough upbringing as well as a total uphill battle to play his music from the start of his career until the end. An amazing book about an amazing man.Jimi Hendrix forever.

Probably the best Santana CD I have heard
I own the first three, the essential and Supernatural. The essential is really cool. Supernatural I can do without. That was kind of an introduction to Santana for me. I picked up their first record from a used bin for .50 cents. It was all scratched up and skipped and was totally awesome. I re-purchased the cd new from Amazon and was blown away. I picked up Abraxas and III shortly after. These three records totally rock. They are that good. They are like a progessive trio of albums. They get better as they move from the first track of Santana to the final track of III. Get these if you are a fan of good music. I highly recommend the first three Santana albums.

Easy to go in...and out...
I ordered these when we moved into our new home because they were more attractive than traditional cables and seemed easy to use. They work fine, but I gave them 4-stars because they come out too easily. Therefore, they definitely aren't child-proof, and I wouldn't recommend placing them in children's reach.

One of the better acounts of higher education history - more personal and student life focused.
Rudolph has crafted a fairly exceptional account of a history of student life in "American College and University: A History." Overall, this text focuses on the cultural changes that occur in society that impact the college student and the college life.I also recommend the following texts to be consulted while reading this book:"A History of American Higher Education" by John Thelin"American Higher Education" by Christopher Lucas"Campus Life: Undergraduate Cultures from the End of the Eighteenth Century to the Present" by Helen Lefkowitz HorowitzFinally, if you are interested in the history of co-operative living I highly recommend the following historical account about the University of Kansas: "Making Do and Getting Through" by Fred McElhenie (it is locally published for the University of Kansas by Oread Books).

Sad but true
The poster who said that the movies are not that great is 100% right. I expected this crystal clear video but it is more like watching a movie on the laptop. There are pixelation problems here and there, and although it doesn't make me pull my hair out, it is discouraging that the psp hardware is $250, and the movies are like $25-30 bux each, which is actually more than DVDs. Plus the games so far are lackluster at best. Save your money for a better system.

Overlooked gem
Overall, I found this to be an engaging, sweet movie much like the main characters in the film. As a parent of a young son with autism, I'm pleased Hollywood has evolved from "Rainman" to portraying a more realistic look at life on the autism spectrum. For those unfamiliar with or untouched by autism (unfortunately, more of us are), don't worry - the movie doesn't set out to educate the masses on the disorder. Also, the filmmakers don't betray the characters or the story by supplying the standard happy ending. Instead, the end is genuine, satisfying and most of all hopeful for all of us, especially my son.

Drops calls constantly
This is the second Panasonic cordless phone that I have owned. the first one crashed and burned at 10 months and I had a terrible time getting Panasonic to even discuss the problems. I waited several years before buying another Panasonic, and this phone has been worse than the first. The phone simply goes dead within a minute or two of answering or dialing. I have tried replacing the battery, but that made no difference. Quite honestly, I will never buy another Panasonic phone. I feel like a chump for having wasted my money a second time; there's no way I'd do it a third time.

Great Machine no Media Center 2005 support
Purchased this computer from Amazon first of Sept 05. System hookups took awhile but good System with one huge exception. I am a long time Sony fan but had I known that Sony would not support Media Center 2005 upgrade I would have bought HP. Sony's support site does state that it will not support Media Center 2005 unless preinstalled. Checked HP's site and updates available even on some much older models than the "new" R Seris. Sony had put a very new machine in the soon to be obsolete category. Sony support understands but they will not offer the upgrade. Media Center is great and fun But buyer beware, Sony should support it's newest products.

GENIOUS - PURE GENIUS! - BONHAM CARTER!!!!!!!!
This IS HELENA BONHAM CARTER's show! She gives us a total 3 dimensional Queen - with the "haps" and "sads" and "funnies" with just a little touch of Better Davis? Perhaps the rings, the wig, something very next.DEPP is great as the Hatter - but the accents confuse - sometimes Scots, sometimes North Country.I loved the small touches on Hatter - bloodied finger - too many sewing needles - the thimballs .....COLLEEN ATWOOD's realization of the costumes are always picture perfect - down to the fabric ....... important doing period work.HATHAWAY, MIA W., GLOVER, the rest of the ensemble fit perfectly - this is what Carol intended us to see ...... including the dark sides ....... the moat with the heads.Tiny touch of "OZ" - but Alice came before "OZ" - so maybe its the reverse.THIS MUST be seen in IMAX - you have to be IN the picture.Fave? CHESHIRE CAT natch.Great music by Elfman - touches of Glass ... but that's to be overlooked.

The movies are wonderful, this package [is weak].
I LOVE the Mummy movies, but buy the movies separately and buy "The Mummy Ultimate Edition" instead. This set only comes with the Collector's Series of the first one, so you miss out on all the great special features of the Ultimate Edition. The Mummy Returns does not have an Ultimate Edition, so that doesn't matter. But I would definitely pass this up in order to have the Ultimate Edition of the first Mummy.

Wish hadn't bought it
Can ram is poorly manufactured and poorly designed. When it came there was way to much extra plastic left on, in fact it blocked one of the screw holes. The ram is poorly designed; it hits the cans at an angle and pushes the can sideways a lot of the time. I have wound up having to hold the can in place to et it to crush. The pin that holds the handle and ram to the wall part has nothing to hold it in place and worked its way out the first time I used it. The hopper is a joke. The only "good" thing was the cheap price. I should have paid more.

Stunning debut
Irish newcomers Skindive hit the ground running with this accomplished debut. Their mature sound belies their rookie status, with production on this album (by songwriter/singer/guitarist Gerry Owens) of outstanding quality. The band's gritty rock/electronic sound balances nicely with lush orchestral arrangements (The Irish Film Orchestra, who must have been having fun) and the sweetness of Danielle Harrison's vocals. Several tracks appear to reflect a John Barry influence (In For The Kill must be destined as the next classic James Bond theme). Other standout tracks: Swallow, Tranquillizer (remix free on Napster), Salt Peter, Skindive, and the anthemic Love Me Still, with its rousing brass section. Skindive has kicked down the door with this one.

Quilts and the Underground Railroad
This is the 4th book in the Elm Creek series and deals primarily with Sylvia exploring her family's past. Her interest is sparked when she is shown a quilt that appears to contain a map of Elm Creek farm. Sylvia always had heard that her ancestors were aboIitionists and she digs in her attic to look for the fabled quilts that were used to signal the Underground Railroad and she find the journal of the sister to the founder of Elm Creek Farm. The majority of the book switches to the events described in the journal. I really liked the historical turn for the series and I enjoyed reading about Sylvia's family and their courage to help those in need. This was a very good story interweaving with the Civil War and the Underground Railroad. I am looking forward to the author revisiting the family history in later books in the series.

Somewhat uninspired, ma'am
Well. I have to say all of Tori's previous CDs have evoked wonderful emotion in me. This, however, does not. The whole CD makes me feel that I have one song on repeat. Discordant, haunting, beautiful melodies that are signature Tori are missing from this album. I find it uninspired, a la the great American trek or not. I do not deny her talent, and this CD gives inkling of her enormous gift. Still, it leaves much to be desired. I'll be waiting with baited breath for the next CD, because this one is a skip on the journey to Mt. Everest.

The Greatest Horror film of all time !
Tobe Hooper's 1974 landmark masterpiece debut "THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE" is by far the single most influential horror film of all time. This is the holy grail of horror movies! When i was a kid this movie changed my life,i've been a horror movie addict ever since! This film is the ultimate blue-print on how to make a great horror movie. There are many films that contain much more blood & gore then T.C.M. & to the eye of the beholder there may even be films out there that are more scary then T.C.M.(maybe!?!?) but what makes this film numero uno of all horror films is simpley the amount of influence it has contributed to the horror world & its this reason & this reason alone that "TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE" is the best there was,the best there is & the best there ever will be!

A Trainwreck Failure By An Untalented Fake!
Hilary Duff is a joke! She is a manufactured Disney star and I can't back that up by stating the truth which is that SHE DOES ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WITH HER MUSIC! SHE DOES NOT HELP OUT WITH ANYTHING--ALL SHE DOES IS SING, AND SHE DOES IT HORRIBLE. HILARY ALSO LIP-SYNCHS, WHICH PROVES SHE DOESN'T EVEN TRY! BY THE WAY, HAVING A SONG PLAYED ON DISNEY RADIO ISN'T A HIT. NONE OF HILARY DUFF'S SINGLES EVER CHARTED ON THE CHARTS. SHE IS A MUSIC FAILURE, AND DESERVES IT! Duff is a disgrace and a musical failure, who is only liked by children in white towns. Anyone who knows what talent means and is, should not like her. Give us a break Hilary, you have flopped musically and you act terribly also, but should have definitely stuck to acting. Besides, Duff's albums also proved to be flops. She should get it by know...YOUR MUSIC CAREER IS A JOKE AND OVER!

Broadway bound novel!
I picked up this novel after buying the soundtrack to the new broadway show. I enjoy reading books based on books and this one kept my interest to the final page. I liked the idea of the pre-Wizard of Oz story and how the "Wicked" witch and "Good" witch were once sorority sisters. I think the author has found a niche in his writing and I plan on reading others of his books. I think it's definitely worth a try, Oz fan or not.

Wonderful, baffling mix
This has just about everything. The rabbi, of course, is learned and devout, even if his schooling causes some nervousness. The cat becomes fantastical when some mystery grants him human speech. The visit abroad captures all the distrust of the alien that the most insular of small-towners can summon. And, around all of that, the monotonous drama of life unfolds: loves, losses, and changes that no one knows how to ride out.Comics have moved well past the BamPow genre into many other idioms - this might border on chick lit, but much less than some. If reality and fantasy remain negotiable for you, with deep family devotions and deeper (or shallower) personal ones, the ragged lines of this comic might touch you.-- wiredweird

Not worth the time
I checked this book out from my local La Leche League. I'm surprised they still have this book available. Being nearly twenty years old, maybe some of my problems are with it being outdated. However, my main gripe is that it is very condescending and judgmental. Instead of just informing you on different options (none of which would work for me and only one or so that would apply well to a full time job) this book presents a certain ideal and if the job arrangements do not fit that ideal, they're not good arrangements and you aren't a good mother. If you want helpful, non-opinionated advice, this is not the book for you. Currently I'm reading "The Working Mother's Guide to Life" which seems much more friendly and helpful.

Enjoyable
I'm a long time fan of Robin Cook and Marker is by far the best novel of his I've read in a while. The book brings back Laurie Montgomery and her lover, Jack Stapleton to investigate a series of mysterious deaths, all similar but at different hospitals. In the background, Jack and Laurie are trying to redefine their relationship.As always, Cook keeps the reader on the edge of one's seat from the first page to the last. Being a doctor himself, Cook sprinkles in a wide array of medical jargon and this only make the book more interesting. As always, the book is well researched.If you are a fan of the medical thriller and other authors such as Tess Gerritson and Michael Palmer, you will enjoy Marker.

I'm afraid that in spite of his (justified) distaste for the kind of deconstructionist, overanalytical grammarian like Mme Jargonos, Erika Orsenna has created a story that is almost as unlikeable in its own heavy-handedness. I was expecting to find a combination of depth and charm found in Le Petit Prince, whose author even makes a brief appearance in this story, but was disappointed by what just comes across as naive reflections about language. I would say that this book is more suited for kids, but at certain points throughout it is clear that Orsenna had adults in mind as well when writing it. But in the end it simply doesn't pan out.

Jennifer is keeping it real.
I love the remix! It's got a cool slow vibe, and I like Ja Rule's singing. Jennifer and Ja Rule made one heck of a collaboration. The way they sing, the way the music flows and so on, cause it's real! AND I CAN'T GO ON WITHOUT THIS SONG!

A Great book for people who want to get into game programing
This book is the BEST! It takes you through from the basics of the VGA card,to making several types of games. The code is in MS C so you if you have a different package such as Borland c++ you will have to convert it yourself, this can be difficult if you haven't a clue how BC45 works i've managed to convert most of it but i still on the job. A great book by a great programmer! Ps I didn't spell programming wrong it just wouldn't fit it the box!

Good thing Wal-Mart lets you return stuff.....
I'm so glad I bought this guide at Wal-Mart as opposed to an actual videogame store. I bought it for the Fatalities, the Konquest mode, and the Krypt. This strategy guide had NO INFORMATION!!!! It actually said to look up info online! I even went to the website listed and it still had no info. Besides, I have gamefaqs.com if I want to get guides online. DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK!!!

Should be classified as "fiction" as opposed to a "memoir"....
Granted that yes, corporations/governments/NGOs may not always have the best interest of developing nations at heart, it simply is not concievable that a mid-level economist could/would have such an ability to shape development and funding for all of these projects. Economists, yes, do play a significant role by forecasting and or analyzing the impact of a project, but to assume that one as the "ultimate power broker" seems more fictional and Ludlum-esqe as opposed to a memoir.This book is more of an apology for inflating statistics or percieved misdeeds for fostering third world development.

Viewtiful Joe: Good game but a good guide?
I recently picked up this guide to compliment my purchase of the game Viewtiful Joe and this is what I think of it. As I first opened it I noticed it is very colorful which is a great thing and the guide was very helpful. The only cons are that it is very thin with 112 pages. I was dissapointed at how short the secrets section was though. Overall, I'd say any Joe fan that needs help to beat that hard boss or just to read it for fun should pick it up because it is very colorful and detailed.

Solid controller but a bit too large
This is the original controller that comes with the original MicroSoft XBox console. It is a high-quality piece and has not failed me. But it is a bit too big, even for my clownish large American hands, and the black and white buttons are not placed very well. The S-controller is better. But still this is a good controller.

My 3 year old LOVES his KASEY!!!!
And so do I. It has a volume control on it to boot!This is the PERFECT educational toy to hold my little mans attention while I get some housework done. He EVEN knows how to change the learning functions on the back. He LOVES IT and will probably love it for a long time more....when he outgrows it, it will go to his baby brother or sister who is on the way.

Tastes like tuna fish
I received this as a gift and I have been saving it for a while to share with friends. Tonight, I made a fresh dill sauce and french bread for this promising appetizer. Well, it was pretty much like serving a big plate of tuna fish. It tasted the same and it looked like a hacked up mess of fish swimming in a watery sauce. It was pretty gross. I fed some to my dog and threw the rest away. Thank goodness dill sauce tastes good all by itself on french bread!SeaBear Copper River Smoked Sockeye Salmon, 16-Ounce Unit

Fun, but not too instructional
I cannot recommend this software for people, like myself, who want to become better gamblers. I was hoping for some automatic tutorial that would caution me when I was making a foolish play. Instead what I had to do was constantly open a pop up window, press "By The Books" for their advice, close the window, and continue my play. Needless to say, that gets a little monotonous. So, while good play advice is there, it's just not automatically given as I hoped.

Be careful
Neither the description nor the other reviewer make this entirely clear. This product is the LVC version of the GPS 18. That is the low voltage version which requires a 5 VDC power supply. Unlike the PC and USB units, this also provides a 1 PPS (pulse per second) timing output. It appears that all three are available from Amazon - make sure you order the one your really want. See the Garmin web site for the differences.

A must see
I have just finished the series.All I can say is one must watch this.It has so many meanings, that its hard to say where you will land.But i think everyone will find meaning in this story to match there own lives.Sounds strange but it is true.It means to open your mind to what is and wonder.I know I have giving it powerful meaning but it is there if you see it and want to.Ergo Proxy asks questions we have asked our selfs.And only you can answer it.Everything one could want in a good story.

Great book for young children
This is a great little book for working with young children, who have a hard time talking about their feelings. The removeable stickers allow for the child to interact and express their own feelings over and over again. I also have enjoyed other books in this series that deal with other emotions.

A Must Have for YOUR Ball Player!
This Rawlings Face Guard has a double protective wire. Our youngest used this and did not have ANY problems with visibility. We were SO glad we it had a double wire because there VERY hard ball straight to the face! NO problems (except us having near heart attacks) from the ball VS face guard incident! It could have been just fine with one BUT it COULD have NOT been as secure, or such a good outcome. We are just glad to know all is well and we provided the BEST protection possible for the situation. As another reviewer pointed out, it can depend on the size, and shape, of your child's head. We LOVE this!

A fascinating book about a potentially dry topic
With her usual zippy style, Ms. Krull managed to make her book about the Bill of Rights both informative and entertaining. All the hard facts are there, but they are bouyed up by fascinating details, kid-related examples, and nifty illustrations. This book really should be required reading for everyone who wants to understand how our government works (or should work).

Found it rather boring. Kids spoken word was a little garbled and low. Very strange content and characters, not my style.

Issues #37-#43 of the Vaughan/Guerra series
This trade paperback collects issues #37-42 of the excellent DC Comics series. Series co-creator Pia Guerra pencils the three-issue "Paper Dolls" story arc. Yorick and Agent 355 spend a day in decaying Sydney, Australia, searching for Beth but instead running afoul of a zealous tabloid reporter. Meanwhile, Dr. Mann bonds with an Australian who may or may not still be a spy and the Israeli soldiers reappear with Yorick's mother in Washington, DC.Goran Sudzuka pencils the remaining three issues. The subpar #40 centers on Hero and Yorick's other Beth while the excellent #41 is chiefly backstory on Agent 355. #42 focuses on Yorick's monkey Ampersand who may have the cure for the plague. I enjoyed this book, though not as much as some of the earlier ones: I'm looking forward to Book 8.

Marvelous Score
I've been a fan of Thomas Newman's film scores for a while now, but I believe he's outdone himself with "Angels in America." The gorgeous main title track alone is worth the purchase of the disc, but the rest show Newman at his most inventive and effective. It helps if you know the film or even the play. This is a must-have.

Beautiful
What is beautiful about Dorianne Laux's poetry is that she disguises her metaphors, similes and other poetical devices behind language with which anyone can connect. She is not a simple poet; rather, her poems can be appreciated on many levels, by both average readers and other writers. Dorianne does what few do successfully: she takes the everyday and shows us why we can't forget it.

Boring movie
I thought this movie was boring and not well acted. The musical numbers sort of came out of nowhere. Avoid it. The lighting is really bad. Its a typical Spike Lee movie, and that is not a compliment.I would not want to waste another 2 hours watching it.

Not reliable
It's great if you have multiple items to be plugged in directly into the Ethernet ports. Wireless is damn awful. Constantly drops wireless signal, needs constant restart to connect wirelessly. Not worth the price, not made for gaming.

Good stuff
I am a fan of many of the Aubrey products. I have used this one and like the way it absorbs quickly into the skin. For more moisture I layer the Aubrey Rosa Mosqueta Night cream over the top and the combo is great! I have very dry skin so I need all the moisture I can get. Since switching to the Aubrey line I receive compliments on my skin and how nice it looks which tells me all I need to know. The Rose Hip Seed oil by Aubrey is also a favorite of mine. Thank you Aubrey for good quality products that are not full of chemicals!

Cheap and flimsy
This filter should be sold in a cheap hardware store for $2 top. It is of such poor quality, I am surprised Bodum put its name on it. Mine arrived without the lid but with dents - it is made of a very soft material that is hardly stainless steel. Bad, bad, bad - and expensive!

Great game with good graphics but brainless!!!!
This game is only mediocore. The game has good graphics, but bad sound effects. It takes no advantages over the GeForce 3 and Radeon 8500 GPU's and it doesn't even use EAX sound mode! The game has brainless gameplay, which makes the game very repetetive after a few weeks. The only thing i found that the game has as a strong point is that I have never had as many enemies run at me at the same time.

This book is amazing . I mean wow.
Shade`s Children is an awesome tale of a terrifying future or elsworld.It is a perfect blend of fantasy,power and friendship.If you`ve ever read marvel comics x-men it favors their mythology with a darker aweinspiring tone. It is sometimes frightening because the characters go through a lot where it seems as though they would give up or be killed or captured by the evil forces at work.I highy suggest this book it is just something that cant be missed. trust me.
