2	Great Iron	My rowenta that I had for 9 years and I just loved is gone. It's still working..... just not at my house. I got a call from my daughter to help press out some drapery lining that she was hanging. I grabbed the old rowenta and out the door I flew. Her iron was never plugged in. (My first clue). I hurried home to get my dinner started....but in my haste I had forgotten "my" iron. I called for it. She whined well you know what happened. I ordered a new one. I love the new one even more. WOW that thing seams a killer crease in my husbands pants. I just glides across everything. Now I am glad I let her have the old one. What performance. Now I need to have someone borrow my ironing board so I will have an excuse to get a rowenta one. I have been eyeing it since I got the iron. Update.... one year 12-2007 Still going strong after a year of use.	18	[ "My rowenta that I had for 9 years and I just loved is gone.", "It's still working..... just not at my house.", "I got a call from my daughter to help press out some drapery lining that she was hanging.", "I grabbed the old rowenta and out the door I flew.", "Her iron was never plugged in.", "(My first clue).", "I hurried home to get my dinner started....but in my haste I had forgotten \"my\" iron.", "I called for it.", "She whined well you know what happened.", "I ordered a new one.", "I love the new one even more.", "WOW that thing seams a killer crease in my husbands pants.", "I just glides across everything.", "Now I am glad I let her have the old one.", "What performance.", "Now I need to have someone borrow my ironing board so I will have an excuse to get a rowenta one.", "I have been eyeing it since I got the iron.", "Update.... one year 12-2007 Still going strong after a year of use." ]
1	The worst movie of all time.	How many movies have come out since the very first reel was ever produced? Four thousand? Five thousand? A million? Who knows. All I know is that Halloween 3 has got to be the worst out of each and every single film ever produced by the hands of man. I've seen some pretty bad movies (8MM, Godzilla, the new Psycho) and this one takes the cake. It's a stupid, contrived plot about these masks that eat little kid's heads. Sound cool? Yeah, well don't judge a book by it's cover. Michael Myers wasn't even in this one and should not have been titled "Halloween." They should have called this movie "Wild Wild Waste." I must have switched like 20 positions while watching this garbage, I was so uncomfortably bored. Do yourself a big favor and rent some good and original horror movies like the original Halloween, original Psycho, or the new (but controversial) Blair Witch Project.	14	[ "How many movies have come out since the very first reel was ever produced?", "Four thousand?", "Five thousand?", "A million?", "Who knows.", "All I know is that Halloween 3 has got to be the worst out of each and every single film ever produced by the hands of man.", "I've seen some pretty bad movies (8MM, Godzilla, the new Psycho) and this one takes the cake.", "It's a stupid, contrived plot about these masks that eat little kid's heads.", "Sound cool?", "Yeah, well don't judge a book by it's cover.", "Michael Myers wasn't even in this one and should not have been titled \"Halloween.\" They should have called this movie \"Wild Wild Waste.\" I must have switched like 20 positions while watching this garbage, I was so uncomfortably bored.", "Do yourself a big favor and rent some good and original horror movies like the original Halloween, original Psycho, or the new (but controversial) Blair Witch Project." ]
1	Slipping away.......	Dopes 4th effort is not close to being their best. Yes I would say it is better than their first c.d. Yet this c.d. pales in comparison to Life and Group Therapy. The songs on this c.d. sound too similar to one another and all have the same message. fck everything. There are very few standout tracks on this c.d. and more than enough mediocre ones on here. The cover song of people are people is worth a listen but I can't say the same for fck the police. Oh well I'll give the c.d. a few more spins but I'm sure next week i'll be back listening to Life, Dopes best c.d. to date. Go pick that one up. And for a f*ck off attitude on a c.d. I would check out HED's new c.d. Only in Amerika which is way better than American Apathy by far.	17	[ "Dopes 4th effort is not close to being their best.", "Yes I would say it is better than their first c.d.

2	Most of the funniest episodes are on here	They didn't edit it! YAY!!! This season contains some of the funniest episodes of "Roseanne" ever, like "April Fool's Day", "Valentine's Day", and "Chicken Hearts". "April Fool's Day" stands as a personal fave of mine. Example:Jackie: Okay, so what if Roseanne DID get a 1099, and it got lost in the mail? The IRS is gonna check her on it, and you guys'll have to have an audit.(Dun dun DUN, Roseanne looks around)Jackie: Then if you don't pay, your house could get repossessed!(Dun dun DUN, Roseanne leaves the room and goes into the hall, still searching)Jackie: And to make sure you pay, they can freeze your bank account, or even auction off your furniture!Roseanne: Auction our furniture? Let's not file for sure!Dan: What are we gonna do? I'm not in the mood for an audit!(Dun dun DUN)(Short pause)Roseanne: I think we should get out of this house!Buy Season 2 today!	11	[ "They didn't edit it!", "YAY!!!", "This season contains some of the funniest episodes of \"Roseanne\" ever, like \"April Fool's Day\", \"Valentine's Day\", and \"Chicken Hearts\".", "\"April Fool's Day\" stands as a personal fave of mine.", "Example:Jackie: Okay, so what if Roseanne DID get a 1099, and it got lost in the mail?", "The IRS is gonna check her on it, and you guys'll have to have an audit.(Dun dun DUN, Roseanne looks around)Jackie: Then if you don't pay, your house could get repossessed!", "(Dun dun DUN, Roseanne leaves the room and goes into the hall, still searching)Jackie: And to make sure you pay, they can freeze your bank account, or even auction off your furniture!", "Roseanne: Auction our furniture?", "Let's not file for sure!", "Dan: What are we gonna do?", "I'm not in the mood for an audit!", "(Dun dun DUN)(Short pause)Roseanne: I think we should get out of this house!", "Buy Season 2 today!" ]
2	Perfect Dark	This is a unbelievable game. The graphics are clear and sharp. If too many things happen at once the framerate may suffer. The sound is perfect. You can hear the guards yelling at you even when your unloading your bullets on them. The design is awesome. The story is worth of a movie. MULTIPLAYER IS BACK! Not since Goldeneye has the multiplayer deathmath been so good. It is tied with Zelda as my favourite N64 Game! I really suggest buying it!	11	[ "This is a unbelievable game.", "The graphics are clear and sharp.", "If too many things happen at once the framerate may suffer.", "The sound is perfect.", "You can hear the guards yelling at you even when your unloading your bullets on them.", "The design is awesome.", "The story is worth of a movie.", "MULTIPLAYER IS BACK!", "Not since Goldeneye has the multiplayer deathmath been so good.", "It is tied with Zelda as my favourite N64 Game!", "I really suggest buying it!" ]
2	Pleasantly Surprised....	I honestly wasn't expecting much from this movie. The previews were just not that appealing. The storyline didn't seem to make any sense (from the previews.) I had no clue. (In more ways than one!)The fact is the movie was very smartly written. The animation was creative and very bright. It was realistic but abstract enough to be slightly amusing. The storyline is simple, but with a wide array of gags and "physical comedy" that entertains young and old alike. Of course, having said all that I must admit that the simple story is balanced by characters that are very complex in nature.Alex is the king of the jungle... only his jungle is the city zoo. Melman, the hypochondriac giraffe, along with lovely hippo, Gloria and Marty the laughable zebra make for an interesting zoo dynamic.Throw in a bunch of oddball penquins with military delusions and a gaggle of lemurs that like to "move it" and you have the screwball hit of the year!A perfect story for the kid in all of us.	11	[ "I honestly wasn't expecting much from this movie.", "The previews were just not that appealing.", "The storyline didn't seem to make any sense (from the previews.)

1	Quiet until it stops then BANG!	This is not a terrible AC. In fact, I would have given it 5 stars. It has a wonderful power saver mode were it turns off completely and every once in awhile comes on to check if the room has gotten too warm. It cools very well and sends out nice cold air. While operating, it is nice and quiet. All in all, a great choice.... ....except.... EXCEPT. Whenever this machine goes from cooling to just air, the compressor inside gives a HUGE jolt and a very loud and startling BANG! You could never sleep with this thing around. It is scaring the crap out of us regularly and we know exactly what it's going to do, but it's just so loud and so surprising. Yes, the whole thing is very well mounted in place. It's not the machine moving against anything, it's coming from inside the machine itself. Now I know why this was a Gold Box item... Live and learn.	13	[ "This is not a terrible AC.", "In fact, I would have given it 5 stars.", "It has a wonderful power saver mode were it turns off completely and every once in awhile comes on to check if the room has gotten too warm.", "It cools very well and sends out nice cold air.", "While operating, it is nice and quiet.", "All in all, a great choice.... ....except....

2	It Works!	I was hesitant about buying this heated bird bath but it does work. I live in Memphis and we don't have much snow but we do have lots of below freezing temperatures and ice. I feed birds and 7 feral cats. I have been struggling for years to keep unfrozen water for all of them. I received my bird bath yesterday when the temp was 43 degrees. I set it out, filled it with water but did not plug it in. (I covered the electric line with straw which hid it from the animals and made it look good too.) Light snow was predicted last night so I then plugged it in and this morning the ground was dusted with about an inch of snow. But I was happily surprised to see my wonderful, unfrozen bird bath. And it really does look like a little stone pond. I and my cats and birds are so happy.	11	[ "I was hesitant about buying this heated bird bath but it does work.", "I live in Memphis and we don't have much snow but we do have lots of below freezing temperatures and ice.", "I feed birds and 7 feral cats.", "I have been struggling for years to keep unfrozen water for all of them.", "I received my bird bath yesterday when the temp was 43 degrees.", "I set it out, filled it with water but did not plug it in.", "(I covered the electric line with straw which hid it from the animals and made it look good too.)

2	Love the translation!!!!	Am I the only person who loves these books and thinks they're absolutely hilarious because of the Sidney Shapiro translation? I feel very shallow, because the stories and characters are certainly fascinating, but I get an enormous kick out of such lines as this:"Frigging monkeyshines! Who says I have any Right Honorable XImen in there!""Don't hog him all to yourself! Let me have a lick of the juice too. Think I don't know?""Little ape! What do you know?""Stingy as cutting vegetables with a hoof-paring knife in a wooden spoon, aren't you?"And the fact that they keep saying things like, "I don't give a tooting fart!"I apologize for this not-very-intellectual assessment of the books, but they kept me laughing out loud and reading choice passages to people.

2	get real!	Kingdom Come is something very special, that is something that must be said outright. Anyone who knows anything about Dobry knows that he also writes about the mob in the stock market. Why? I don't know. As good as he is writing fiction, I wonder what his fascination with the mob is. Calling Dobry a "pedophile" and a "homosexual" in a book review? A "pedophile"?? What book was this guy reading? I don't believe that review was serious. Say what you want about Kingdom Come, but to write a review claiming there is pedophilia in it, I have to wonder if that review itself wasn't written by a mobster, or if the reviewer himself just doesn't have some serious issues he has to deal with. The erotica in Kingdom Come, what little there is, is hetero-erotic consenting sex amongst adults.The imagery is dark and written masterfully. I highly recommend this book.	12	[ "Kingdom Come is something very special, that is something that must be said outright.", "Anyone who knows anything about Dobry knows that he also writes about the mob in the stock market.", "Why?", "I don't know.", "As good as he is writing fiction, I wonder what his fascination with the mob is.", "Calling Dobry a \"pedophile\" and a \"homosexual\" in a book review?", "A \"pedophile\"??", "What book was this guy reading?", "I don't believe that review was serious.", "Say what you want about Kingdom Come, but to write a review claiming there is pedophilia in it, I have to wonder if that review itself wasn't written by a mobster, or if the reviewer himself just doesn't have some serious issues he has to deal with.", "The erotica in Kingdom Come, what little there is, is hetero-erotic consenting sex amongst adults.The imagery is dark and written masterfully.", "I highly recommend this book." ]
2	The Best Illustration for quick identification	I own many books specific to field identification of Alaska plants. On a recent trip to Ketchikan none of my books were able to assist me in the identification of a specific plant. A local person pulled out her copy of North American Wildlife (NAW). In an instant we located a colored illustation of "orange hawksbeard" . The illustation was so accurate right down to the fine hairs on its long stem. At home I located the same plant in my large treatise of Alaskan plants. I would never had been able to ID this plant with my very expensive treatise. The simple generic black and white drawings in my treatise are vastly inferior to the rich color and detail of NAW. I have been unable to locate this book so my friends in Ketchikan suggested Amazon.com. I'm thrilled that my own copy is on its way. An intertesing side bar is that my treatise of Alaska Plants states that orange hawksbeard is an introduced plant only known to found on the Glacier Hyw in Juneau.	11	[ "I own many books specific to field identification of Alaska plants.", "On a recent trip to Ketchikan none of my books were able to assist me in the identification of a specific plant.", "A local person pulled out her copy of North American Wildlife (NAW).", "In an instant we located a colored illustation of \"orange hawksbeard\".", "The illustation was so accurate right down to the fine hairs on its long stem.", "At home I located the same plant in my large treatise of Alaskan plants.", "I would never had been able to ID this plant with my very expensive treatise.", "The simple generic black and white drawings in my treatise are vastly inferior to the rich color and detail of NAW.", "I have been unable to locate this book so my friends in Ketchikan suggested Amazon.com.", "I'm thrilled that my own copy is on its way.", "An intertesing side bar is that my treatise of Alaska Plants states that orange hawksbeard is an introduced plant only known to found on the Glacier Hyw in Juneau." ]
1	Deep into the rough with no hope of redemption	I have followed this series with passion. I have loved the three previous books. Each was cleaver, funny and deeply entertaining. For this book I had to struggle to keep reading it and had to put it down on several occassions. I have yet to finish the book! I have read about 80% of it and could not go further. Although some of the commentary about society and corporate sponsoring is amusing, the book was conspicuously lacking enough of Caminetti. I read the books because of HIM. If you want to write social commentary send an editorial to the newspaper or go on Larry King. I paid to read about Eddie and escape the issues of society. I hope that the next (if there is one) is stongly focused around eddie and his adventures. The earlier books were such good efforts that this was a HUGH disappointment.	12	[ "I have followed this series with passion.", "I have loved the three previous books.", "Each was cleaver, funny and deeply entertaining.", "For this book I had to struggle to keep reading it and had to put it down on several occassions.", "I have yet to finish the book!", "I have read about 80% of it and could not go further.", "Although some of the commentary about society and corporate sponsoring is amusing, the book was conspicuously lacking enough of Caminetti.", "I read the books because of HIM.", "If you want to write social commentary send an editorial to the newspaper or go on Larry King.", "I paid to read about Eddie and escape the issues of society.", "I hope that the next (if there is one) is stongly focused around eddie and his adventures.", "The earlier books were such good efforts that this was a HUGH disappointment." ]
1	Headset in Action	I Highly DO NOT suggest buying this product. I actually bought it at Walmart and it's not great. For the price, I reccomend buying a Turtle Beach, but it has echo problems. The First time I bought the Microsoft headset it worked pretty good. But then in use is started having syncing problems, and would not work properly. It really just made me mad. The next few days I try'ed everything. I turned in on and off, let in charge for like 24 hours. Still nothing. It would NOT SYNC properly with my 360. As you know Microsoft has made some pretty bad products in the past, and this one of them. I actually lost my recipet, and I was really in some trouble. I had to have Walmart put in on a gift card, exchange with someone in my family and then go and buy it at Best Buy. This is really a piece of crap, and I do not reccomend buying it. Go and get yourself a Turtle Beach. You won't be dissapointed.	16	[ "I Highly DO NOT suggest buying this product.", "I actually bought it at Walmart and it's not great.", "For the price, I reccomend buying a Turtle Beach, but it has echo problems.", "The First time I bought the Microsoft headset it worked pretty good.", "But then in use is started having syncing problems, and would not work properly.", "It really just made me mad.", "The next few days I try'ed everything.", "I turned in on and off, let in charge for like 24 hours.", "Still nothing.", "It would NOT SYNC properly with my 360.", "As you know Microsoft has made some pretty bad products in the past, and this one of them.", "I actually lost my recipet, and I was really in some trouble.", "I had to have Walmart put in on a gift card, exchange with someone in my family and then go and buy it at Best Buy.", "This is really a piece of crap, and I do not reccomend buying it.", "Go and get yourself a Turtle Beach.", "You won't be dissapointed." ]
1	Bad!	This is quite possibly the worst book I have ever read. First, there are the spelling errors. I'm not just talking about typos (and there are some of those). For example, twice the word "maxim" meaning adage or saying is spelled "maximum." Then there are the grammatical errors. Sentences just end. They have a subject but no predicate. And, there is the subject matter. It's like the author took hundreds of ideas from other authors and randomly put them together. I don't know who to blame. Supposedly the book was edited by a gentleman with a Phd. in English. I'd be horrified if he was my professor. If anyone does not believe me, please somehow get a copy (don't buy it)and read it. You'll be begging to read Iannone. The only reason I read it was because it was required reading for a police promotional exam.	16	[ "This is quite possibly the worst book I have ever read.", "First, there are the spelling errors.", "I'm not just talking about typos (and there are some of those).", "For example, twice the word \"maxim\" meaning adage or saying is spelled \"maximum.\" Then there are the grammatical errors.", "Sentences just end.", "They have a subject but no predicate.", "And, there is the subject matter.", "It's like the author took hundreds of ideas from other authors and randomly put them together.", "I don't know who to blame.", "Supposedly the book was edited by a gentleman with a Phd.", "in English.", "I'd be horrified if he was my professor.", "If anyone does not believe me, please somehow get a copy (don't buy it)and read it.", "You'll be begging to read Iannone.", "The only reason I read it was because it was required reading for a police promotional exam." ]
2	Secret Circle	There are only a few authors I love; Jane Austen, Dean Koontz, William Shakespeare, and Stephen king. L.J. Smith is incredible enough to pull all of these styles together. Romance, suspense, horror, and tragedy. Secret Circle, with all its intensity, is still one of my all-time favorites. I love the way she displays witches. It takes imigination to think of them that way. Society tends to rely on "Glinda the Good Witch" or those cackling, emerald countenaces thwarted with warts as witches. L.J. Smith has put beauty and normality back into black magic and she literally bewitched me. Smith has a page turner of a trilogy here and unfortunately, my friend won't give my beloved books back.	11	[ "There are only a few authors I love; Jane Austen, Dean Koontz, William Shakespeare, and Stephen king.", "L.J.

1	Not Sturdy	We purchased this walker for our son, who is now ten months old. The top console pivots: down for when the baby sits or up for when the baby stands. But in either location, the base is way too light. Before our baby was standing, we let him sit at the unit and use the console. But he grabbed the handle, and must have leaned back a little, and the whole unit came tumbling after him. No major injuries, but he was still frightened. Now that he's standing, whenever he tries to pull himself up on this, it seems to fall over. And unlocking the wheels seems to also cause him to fall every time. We only let him near this toy when we can actively prevent him from falling.The base on this unit really needs to be heavier to prevent falls: right now, this toy is not sturdy at all. We also purchased the Vtech learning activity table, which is very good and very sturdy. I would recommend that over this toy.	11	[ "We purchased this walker for our son, who is now ten months old.", "The top console pivots: down for when the baby sits or up for when the baby stands.", "But in either location, the base is way too light.", "Before our baby was standing, we let him sit at the unit and use the console.", "But he grabbed the handle, and must have leaned back a little, and the whole unit came tumbling after him.", "No major injuries, but he was still frightened.", "Now that he's standing, whenever he tries to pull himself up on this, it seems to fall over.", "And unlocking the wheels seems to also cause him to fall every time.", "We only let him near this toy when we can actively prevent him from falling.The base on this unit really needs to be heavier to prevent falls: right now, this toy is not sturdy at all.", "We also purchased the Vtech learning activity table, which is very good and very sturdy.", "I would recommend that over this toy." ]
1	Okay B westerns but one is from a pathetic, butchered print!	I picked this one up at the Dollar Store and it was still overpriced. These Tex Ritter Grand National B westerns are about average for poverty row oaters but "Arizona Days" is missing the middle 15 minutes or so (probably one complete 35mm reel). There is an abrupt cut 20 minutes into the film that makes you say "Huh?". Running time is 42 minutes instead of claimed 57 minutes on packaging. The print is also horribly out of focus and splicy and looks like it was sourced from a VHS tape at EP speed. Maybe it's best those 15 minutes are missing. I don't know if my eyes could have taken 57 minutes of such poor quality video! "Trouble in Texas" is complete at 63 minutes and the print is barely passable. Young, beautiful Rita Hayworth (billed as Rita Cansino) is the highlight of this one. Lots of stock rodeo footage pads what little plot there is. Don't expect very much...and you'll probably still be disappointed!	11	[ "I picked this one up at the Dollar Store and it was still overpriced.", "These Tex Ritter Grand National B westerns are about average for poverty row oaters but \"Arizona Days\" is missing the middle 15 minutes or so (probably one complete 35mm reel).", "There is an abrupt cut 20 minutes into the film that makes you say \"Huh?", "\".", "Running time is 42 minutes instead of claimed 57 minutes on packaging.", "The print is also horribly out of focus and splicy and looks like it was sourced from a VHS tape at EP speed.", "Maybe it's best those 15 minutes are missing.", "I don't know if my eyes could have taken 57 minutes of such poor quality video!", "\"Trouble in Texas\" is complete at 63 minutes and the print is barely passable.", "Young, beautiful Rita Hayworth (billed as Rita Cansino) is the highlight of this one.", "Lots of stock rodeo footage pads what little plot there is.", "Don't expect very much...and you'll probably still be disappointed!" ]
1	Is everyone kidding?	I have read Blood Meridian and No Country For Old Men, and enjoyed them both. But The Road? I wondered about halfway through if someone had a played a joke on me. Like maybe McCarthy said, you know what, screw it. I've been writing books for years with very little recognition, so I'm going to throw out this piece of [...] and see if I can fool them. And he did. Nothing happens, but it happens over and over. It was snowing. It was dark. They built a fire. They ate a tin of peaches. It began to snow again. It reminds me of when Faulkner finally wrote a crappy novel and won a Pulitzer for it. The world never ceases to amaze me.	14	[ "I have read Blood Meridian and No Country For Old Men, and enjoyed them both.", "But The Road?", "I wondered about halfway through if someone had a played a joke on me.", "Like maybe McCarthy said, you know what, screw it.", "I've been writing books for years with very little recognition, so I'm going to throw out this piece of [...] and see if I can fool them.", "And he did.", "Nothing happens, but it happens over and over.", "It was snowing.", "It was dark.", "They built a fire.", "They ate a tin of peaches.", "It began to snow again.", "It reminds me of when Faulkner finally wrote a crappy novel and won a Pulitzer for it.", "The world never ceases to amaze me." ]
1	Not what I was expecting	After viewing a few blades, I picked this one out because it looked very industrial. It worked well at first. I used it to open boxes, cut open plastic packaging. Then I started to use it while working around the house. Cutting drywall; the blade comes out. Scoring silicone around sinks and bathtubs; the blade comes out. Scoring paint along moldings; the blade comes out. Now my spring activated opener doesn't work anymore. I have to pry it open with a screw driver.I gave this a 1 star because it has a high price and very little value due to fact the blades pull out and my opener ceased to work.If you are looking for a blade that you can work with. Look elsewhere. If you want an over priced amazon-package-opener to store in your kitchen drawr. This might just be for you.	12	[ "After viewing a few blades, I picked this one out because it looked very industrial.", "It worked well at first.", "I used it to open boxes, cut open plastic packaging.", "Then I started to use it while working around the house.", "Cutting drywall; the blade comes out.", "Scoring silicone around sinks and bathtubs; the blade comes out.", "Scoring paint along moldings; the blade comes out.", "Now my spring activated opener doesn't work anymore.", "I have to pry it open with a screw driver.I gave this a 1 star because it has a high price and very little value due to fact the blades pull out and my opener ceased to work.If you are looking for a blade that you can work with.", "Look elsewhere.", "If you want an over priced amazon-package-opener to store in your kitchen drawr.", "This might just be for you." ]
2	I CRIED, TOO!	What a tearjerker this book is. Kudos to the author for bringing so much emotion out of his readers for this story. I think we all loved Grace Kelly, and wondered how it worked out for her in Monaco. She is of my generation; boy oh boy, those were the years! All of this was news to me, I must say. Back then, we didn't get all of the details as we do today, about anything. The world was a different place. You had to wonder what your favorite stars were thinking, you never really knew. Not like now, when it's all on the TV. Anyway, I loved Princess Grace even more after I read "Once Upon a Time." It's so nice when a book can make you feel stronger about a person you already hold in high regard, isn't it? That's what this book did for me. I hope her children, Stephanie, Caroline and Albert, have an opportunity to read this book. They will feel so close to their mother, and their father too, through the words on these pages. I give this book five stars. I'd recommend it to anyone.	16	[ "What a tearjerker this book is.", "Kudos to the author for bringing so much emotion out of his readers for this story.", "I think we all loved Grace Kelly, and wondered how it worked out for her in Monaco.", "She is of my generation; boy oh boy, those were the years!", "All of this was news to me, I must say.", "Back then, we didn't get all of the details as we do today, about anything.", "The world was a different place.", "You had to wonder what your favorite stars were thinking, you never really knew.", "Not like now, when it's all on the TV.", "Anyway, I loved Princess Grace even more after I read \"Once Upon a Time.\" It's so nice when a book can make you feel stronger about a person you already hold in high regard, isn't it?", "That's what this book did for me.", "I hope her children, Stephanie, Caroline and Albert, have an opportunity to read this book.", "They will feel so close to their mother, and their father too, through the words on these pages.", "I give this book five stars.", "I'd recommend it to anyone." ]
2	My First Love	I am really partcial to this album (cd). I was a mere kid when this album came out, but I can remember falling in love with the man on the cover. After being infautation with his looks, I fell in love with his music and I have been a die hard fan ever since. This album to me is just the beginning of a raw Prince and what his future had to hold. Especially on "Bambi". I had no idea what the song meant at the time, but I loved the instruments in this song. "Sexy Dancer" and "I Feel For YOu" are still my favorites because it keeps me in the disco mode. "Still Waiting" and "When We're Dancing Close and Slow" really puts me over the edge. They say so much about Prince as an artist. Just the simple fact that he can go from rocking us with the guitar to being sensual. Not too many artist can do that. Prince has been and will always be a true artist in every aspect.	12	[ "I am really partcial to this album (cd).", "I was a mere kid when this album came out, but I can remember falling in love with the man on the cover.", "After being infautation with his looks, I fell in love with his music and I have been a die hard fan ever since.", "This album to me is just the beginning of a raw Prince and what his future had to hold.", "Especially on \"Bambi\".", "I had no idea what the song meant at the time, but I loved the instruments in this song.", "\"Sexy Dancer\" and \"I Feel For YOu\" are still my favorites because it keeps me in the disco mode.", "\"Still Waiting\" and \"When We're Dancing Close and Slow\" really puts me over the edge.", "They say so much about Prince as an artist.", "Just the simple fact that he can go from rocking us with the guitar to being sensual.", "Not too many artist can do that.", "Prince has been and will always be a true artist in every aspect." ]
2	Cheapest backpacking tent around	I bought this tent purely based on its price. I'm new to the backpacking scene and needed to find some reasonably priced gear. Being as I have only hiked solo I have had to carry the tent by myself. It defiantly adds weight to the pack. If I had more money I would at least go with a tent that comes with aluminum poles. Seeing as I didn't I still have hiked 20 miles a day on the Appalachian trail with this on my back. I finally got rain at night and let me tell you it was RAIN. A very intense rainstorm was it first waterproof test. All in all it wasn't terrible. The seams for the zipper covers on the rain fly began to fail after about a half an hour so I know I will have to seam seal those. A bigger problem is that the side where the rainfly is the coverage rain is able to splash up falling off the rainfly and splash into the tent. The only thing I can think to do is stake it closer to the tent so there is not as large of an airgap for rain to splash.	12	[ "I bought this tent purely based on its price.", "I'm new to the backpacking scene and needed to find some reasonably priced gear.", "Being as I have only hiked solo I have had to carry the tent by myself.", "It defiantly adds weight to the pack.", "If I had more money I would at least go with a tent that comes with aluminum poles.", "Seeing as I didn't I still have hiked 20 miles a day on the Appalachian trail with this on my back.", "I finally got rain at night and let me tell you it was RAIN.", "A very intense rainstorm was it first waterproof test.", "All in all it wasn't terrible.", "The seams for the zipper covers on the rain fly began to fail after about a half an hour so I know I will have to seam seal those.", "A bigger problem is that the side where the rainfly is the coverage rain is able to splash up falling off the rainfly and splash into the tent.", "The only thing I can think to do is stake it closer to the tent so there is not as large of an airgap for rain to splash." ]
2	Despite its reputation, a pretty good album....	This is a good CD, though not great one. It has a lackluster production, like it's deliberately unfinished. It's a shame, as it has some great (and I mean great) Morrissey songs on it. Lyrically, he's still as awesome as ever. Asian Rut has a brilliantly sad, operatic tone to it. My favorite song has to be Driving Your Girlfriend Home with its great line "how did I end up so deeply involved in the very existence I planned on avoiding?". That's another brilliant Morrissey lyric. The Harsh Truth of the Camera Eye is a great song, but it's hindered by the lax production. I'm the End of the Family Line is very good, and the quieter production actually helps it. The song There's a Place in Hell for me and my Friends has another great Morrissey title, and the song is a great one too. If your a Morrissey fan, you need to get this one. If you're just a casual fan, you should download a few of the songs.	12	[ "This is a good CD, though not great one.", "It has a lackluster production, like it's deliberately unfinished.", "It's a shame, as it has some great (and I mean great) Morrissey songs on it.", "Lyrically, he's still as awesome as ever.", "Asian Rut has a brilliantly sad, operatic tone to it.", "My favorite song has to be Driving Your Girlfriend Home with its great line \"how did I end up so deeply involved in the very existence I planned on avoiding?", "\".", "That's another brilliant Morrissey lyric.", "The Harsh Truth of the Camera Eye is a great song, but it's hindered by the lax production.", "I'm the End of the Family Line is very good, and the quieter production actually helps it.", "The song There's a Place in Hell for me and my Friends has another great Morrissey title, and the song is a great one too.", "If your a Morrissey fan, you need to get this one.", "If you're just a casual fan, you should download a few of the songs." ]
2	Movie is great, but the new Amazon DVD is blank. . .	I love this movie and have waited for it to come out on DVD for several years. Finally, this year it was produced and I ordered it from Amazon the last week of November. However, when I received my copy, the DVD stopped and was totally blank after 11 seconds. All it contained was the video pirating message. I returned it easily and Amazon promptly send a replacement which also proved to be blank after exactly 11 seconds. I have sent it back for a refund. I do not fault Amazon, however, since both were brand new and still in the plastic wrapper. I assume this was an error in production and wonder how many blank DVDs there are out there. I'm also wondering when I will be able to order another DVD which actually contains the movie. Beware if you are ordering this DVD now. . . looks like there are still 37 left in this batch as of 12/7/11.	13	[ "I love this movie and have waited for it to come out on DVD for several years.", "Finally, this year it was produced and I ordered it from Amazon the last week of November.", "However, when I received my copy, the DVD stopped and was totally blank after 11 seconds.", "All it contained was the video pirating message.", "I returned it easily and Amazon promptly send a replacement which also proved to be blank after exactly 11 seconds.", "I have sent it back for a refund.", "I do not fault Amazon, however, since both were brand new and still in the plastic wrapper.", "I assume this was an error in production and wonder how many blank DVDs there are out there.", "I'm also wondering when I will be able to order another DVD which actually contains the movie.", "Beware if you are ordering this DVD now.", ".", ".", "looks like there are still 37 left in this batch as of 12/7/11." ]
1	Odor-Less Diaper Pail-Safety First	My husband and I bought this because, as new parents, we wanted to save money on baby equipment. As many of the other reviews have stated, the low price and the fact that you can use regular trash bags in this is a big draw. Please, do not get sucked into getting this pail. In fact, if you really want to save money, don't get a diaper pail at all. Manufacturers of baby products make you think you need diaper pails, just as they make you think you need changing tables and diaper wipe warmers! Use a plain plastic grocery bag, hang it on the door knob to your baby's room, and put diapers in it. When it gets full(or too stinky!), simply take it to the big garbage can outside. This diaper pail made my son's room smell horrible. As soon as I went to go upstairs, I could smell the stink coming from his room. I sprayed the pail with Lysol almost every day and washed it in hot, soapy water weekly, and it still didn't help.

2	Awesome Hiking Shoes!	I just got back from Colorado where some buddies and I climbed Long's Peak! These are the shoes I wore for the 14 mile hike. They were super comfortable! I wore them with Smartwool socks (a must)! The one thing that surprised me most about these shoes was their grip. Me and another guy wore these while 2 of my other buddies wore hiking boots. These were far superior in grip and weight. They were never cumbersome nor did I ever have to worry about them coming untied! Once tightened - they're tight. I recommend Merrell Chameleon II Stretch's to everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1	Worn once, donated to Goodwill	If you're looking for a nice bra, this might be the one...but order one cup size smaller. They run big.I purchased two of these bras based, sight unseen, on the reviews. Big mistake. I was deployed overseas and really did not have much of a choice.When I recieved the bras, I was pleased with the quality of the construction and the feel of the fabric. They are soft and pretty. Then I put one on. ICK. Not so pretty.I am definitely a full B, even a C cup in certain bras. This bra had all kinds of extra fabric sticking out around the nipple area. They stick out like a long boob-cone. The cups also separate the breasts too far and give entirely too much "individual breast definition," if you will. I looked like I was wearing a 12 year old's training bra when I put on a tee shirt. Ridiculous.Of course I could not exactly send these back from overseas, so I simply tossed them into the donation bin. I'm glad that others were able to enjoy these, I certainly did not.	14	[ "If you're looking for a nice bra, this might be the one...but order one cup size smaller.", "They run big.I purchased two of these bras based, sight unseen, on the reviews.", "Big mistake.", "I was deployed overseas and really did not have much of a choice.When I recieved the bras, I was pleased with the quality of the construction and the feel of the fabric.", "They are soft and pretty.", "Then I put one on.", "ICK.", "Not so pretty.I am definitely a full B, even a C cup in certain bras.", "This bra had all kinds of extra fabric sticking out around the nipple area.", "They stick out like a long boob-cone.", "The cups also separate the breasts too far and give entirely too much \"individual breast definition,\" if you will.", "I looked like I was wearing a 12 year old's training bra when I put on a tee shirt.", "Ridiculous.Of course I could not exactly send these back from overseas, so I simply tossed them into the donation bin.", "I'm glad that others were able to enjoy these, I certainly did not." ]
1	Cross-hairs disintegrated!	Owned this scope for 2 seasons. Mounted on my RRA AR15. I was initially please with this scope. Made in Korea, zoomed smoothly, versatile, stayed tight on the mounts and consistently accurate. After putting about 500rds through it I was amazed that the crosshairs fell apart. That's right. The crosshairs literally fell apart. The lens were fine, scope was never dropped or abused. Looking through the lens the crosshairs simply scattered. Weird. I liked the scope I paid $79.99 retail, and it appeared to be top quality. It held up well. I guess too many rounds went through it. Pretty disastrous failure if your'e hunting for food. Maybe pay more and get something rated for more use.	15	[ "Owned this scope for 2 seasons.", "Mounted on my RRA AR15.", "I was initially please with this scope.", "Made in Korea, zoomed smoothly, versatile, stayed tight on the mounts and consistently accurate.", "After putting about 500rds through it I was amazed that the crosshairs fell apart.", "That's right.", "The crosshairs literally fell apart.", "The lens were fine, scope was never dropped or abused.", "Looking through the lens the crosshairs simply scattered.", "Weird.", "I liked the scope I paid $79.99 retail, and it appeared to be top quality.", "It held up well.", "I guess too many rounds went through it.", "Pretty disastrous failure if your'e hunting for food.", "Maybe pay more and get something rated for more use." ]
1	Lost customer	I can't really review the game as I have not purchased it for the same reason I did not purchase Mass Effect. I was truly looking forward to buying both of these games (which is amazing as I'm very picky about what I spend my money on) but both of the games I was looking forward to purchasing would be useless in a few years due to the restrictive "rights" management. What do I mean? Well, let's put it this way, I'd really like to play Wasteland again, however the company no longer supports the game, which means I can no longer play it as I don't have the manual anymore. Can this company promise that in 30 years when I want to dust off a copy of Spore or Mass Effect that they'd be around to help me get it installed? Most likely not . . . . this is a time-limited rental where they are not going to tell you exactly when your "rental" runs out.

2	Great thermometer!	My meats have come out perfect every time! This is the whole point of using a thermometer and this one fits the bill. I use it on my smoker mainly. I drilled a small hole on the top of the lid, I fed the probe through it and into the meat, and outside I have the transmitter sitting on a shelf right next to it so it does not get hot. I take the receiver inside, set the meat type, the doneness level and just wait til I hear the beeps. (I do check the time to see how it going because it does take hours.) Let me tell you , the best smoked meats ever and it is so easy with this thermometer. My friend tried smoking by just using a timer and heat gauge on the smoker but it is not accurate that way. You have got to get the meat temp! Read the other reviews on getting the two units to sync, and read the reviews on not getting water in the probe. Do that and this thermometer will work great and last.

1	And his resourses were ?	I would like to say that this book is the best out there. But the truth is, I have no idea where he gets his so called statistics and information from.For instance, pages 34-35 say "One researcher says if you eat a piece of food that contains 200 calories that come from the fatty part of the food, only 6 of those calories . . . " and he never cites his source. He also refers to Cornell U, but never ever cites one source. The closest thing to a source I have found would be that he acknowledged several people in the beginning, including a nutritionist and a writing expert.

1	Low-rent action doesn't mix with subpar karate...	Raul Julia's last film keeps itself alive using his performance as the bad guy. "Street Fighter" is a cheekishly bright kids movie based on the hit video game, although the plot and characters are very different. The violence is very stylized and almost slapstick. The humor here is arid, missing any form of timing or wit. Most of the movie just falls flat on its butt. It's not the worst video-game movie ever, but it's really not that good. I do, however, reccommend it to kids who are into karate. They might get a "kick" out of this... get it? Kick? Sorry about that one. At least it was better than the jokes in "Street Fighter."	11	[ "Raul Julia's last film keeps itself alive using his performance as the bad guy.", "\"Street Fighter\" is a cheekishly bright kids movie based on the hit video game, although the plot and characters are very different.", "The violence is very stylized and almost slapstick.", "The humor here is arid, missing any form of timing or wit.", "Most of the movie just falls flat on its butt.", "It's not the worst video-game movie ever, but it's really not that good.", "I do, however, reccommend it to kids who are into karate.", "They might get a \"kick\" out of this... get it?", "Kick?", "Sorry about that one.", "At least it was better than the jokes in \"Street Fighter.\"" ]
1	Pretty Fricking Awful	One word: Ugh. I remember reading this book when I was about fifteen. It was hideous then, and I can't imagine it's gotten any better with age. Maybe it's just me, but anytime an author refers to his characters as heroes BEFORE THEY'VE DONE ANYTHING HEROIC, I think there's a problem.Don't get me wrong, I like to wind down and read braincandy just like any neo-plebeian, but this is just BAD. Really bad. Like, "How did they ever publish this?" bad and, "How has this stayed in print?" bad. The answer is: Because the strength of the book rests entirely on it being set in a D&D universe, not its story, characters, and writing.If this is a classic of anything, it's a classic "TSR Book Shaped Object" -- things that are shaped like books, look like books, and smell like books, but read like they were written by a three year old. Read it if you absolutely love Forgotten Realms. Avoid it at all costs if you are a connoisseur of real fiction.	11	[ "One word: Ugh.", "I remember reading this book when I was about fifteen.", "It was hideous then, and I can't imagine it's gotten any better with age.", "Maybe it's just me, but anytime an author refers to his characters as heroes BEFORE THEY'VE DONE ANYTHING HEROIC, I think there's a problem.Don't get me wrong, I like to wind down and read braincandy just like any neo-plebeian, but this is just BAD.", "Really bad.", "Like, \"How did they ever publish this?", "\" bad and, \"How has this stayed in print?", "\" bad.", "The answer is: Because the strength of the book rests entirely on it being set in a D&D universe, not its story, characters, and writing.If this is a classic of anything, it's a classic \"TSR Book Shaped Object\" -- things that are shaped like books, look like books, and smell like books, but read like they were written by a three year old.", "Read it if you absolutely love Forgotten Realms.", "Avoid it at all costs if you are a connoisseur of real fiction." ]
2	Very nice, color and pattern were a bit of a shock	I really like this travel lite crib. We had a full size graco pack n play when my son was born, but now that we have moved to a smaller space, we needed something a little more space conscious. I looked high and low for a cute travel lite crib and on a whim bought this one because it had a nice look to it. When I set it up (very standard pack n play set up) I was initially quite shocked at the boldness of the pattern and darkness of the brown. I think the pattern is a bit obnoxious in person, though it looks nice the photos. The brown is also quite dark. Now that I have had it set it for a few days, I am getting used to it. The toys are beyond lame (a stuffed star and moon?) and I have simply replaced the toys with bears from the Graco winsdor PNP. Overall, it's very nice and the pattern is nicer than most of the others out there. It is a good bit smaller than the regular size pack n play and fits through my door ways easily.	11	[ "I really like this travel lite crib.", "We had a full size graco pack n play when my son was born, but now that we have moved to a smaller space, we needed something a little more space conscious.", "I looked high and low for a cute travel lite crib and on a whim bought this one because it had a nice look to it.", "When I set it up (very standard pack n play set up) I was initially quite shocked at the boldness of the pattern and darkness of the brown.", "I think the pattern is a bit obnoxious in person, though it looks nice the photos.", "The brown is also quite dark.", "Now that I have had it set it for a few days, I am getting used to it.", "The toys are beyond lame (a stuffed star and moon?", ") and I have simply replaced the toys with bears from the Graco winsdor PNP.", "Overall, it's very nice and the pattern is nicer than most of the others out there.", "It is a good bit smaller than the regular size pack n play and fits through my door ways easily." ]
2	The Grandest Love Story Ever !	First of all don't even compare this film to the classic novel by Emily Bronte. They are two seperate works of art. Judge this film on it's own merits. It's is a film of seething passion. The performances are great, Greg Toland's cinematography is glorious ! This films shows us (perfectly) that "true love" which reaches deep into one's soul can be the closest thing to "Heaven on Earth". But when that love is broken and turned away it can be a force powerful enough to destroy lives. It's a classic in every sense. It's so compelling it will grip you every time you watch it. Who would ever think that things as mundane and dreary, like the moors, and heather could become such romantic symbols to us after seeing this film.

1	First World Problems	When Catcher in the Rye came out it was something of revolution. Never before had anyone took time to explore the mind or problems of the over-privileged, white, American teenager. It is an esoteric novel, a low brow piece of literature that sells to its particular crowd: people who haven't read much, or experienced actual life beyond the age of twenty. Now, it's not necessarily the worst thing I've read, but the acclamations people have given it are beyond absurd. Only a fool could identify with Holden Caulfield. This book is basically the 'Twilight' of its day. The only reason it's regarded as a classic is because enough time has passed. Somehow the imagery of an era gone by is enough to cement itself as something of a must read. But you don't need to read it. The story is very simple. It's about an angry white kid, who travels across the city, and finds out that there's more to life than his incessant, introspective whining...and of course there is.	11	[ "When Catcher in the Rye came out it was something of revolution.", "Never before had anyone took time to explore the mind or problems of the over-privileged, white, American teenager.", "It is an esoteric novel, a low brow piece of literature that sells to its particular crowd: people who haven't read much, or experienced actual life beyond the age of twenty.", "Now, it's not necessarily the worst thing I've read, but the acclamations people have given it are beyond absurd.", "Only a fool could identify with Holden Caulfield.", "This book is basically the 'Twilight' of its day.", "The only reason it's regarded as a classic is because enough time has passed.", "Somehow the imagery of an era gone by is enough to cement itself as something of a must read.", "But you don't need to read it.", "The story is very simple.", "It's about an angry white kid, who travels across the city, and finds out that there's more to life than his incessant, introspective whining...and of course there is." ]
2	A beautifully written love story 80 years ahead of its time	The film of "Maurice" produced by Merchant Ivory a number of years ago is one my favorite films. I was curious, having never read E.M. Forster before, to see how much of the issue of homosexuality was a product of the book and how much was played-up for the film. The book did not dissapoint. An honest, self-aware writer, E.M. Forster tells a beautiful story of a fairly unremarkable young man who is forced to (by virtue of being gay) become remarkable. Problems of English repugnance at homosexuality (a feeling he shares himself at first) and of class make him into a grownup, into a real man. In the book this becomes a wonderful liberation--that does not come through as well in the film. A marvelous read. Not published until after his death in 1970. Only a few read it when he actually wrote it in the teens. Too dangerous. A shame. Far ahead of it's time.	12	[ "The film of \"Maurice\" produced by Merchant Ivory a number of years ago is one my favorite films.", "I was curious, having never read E.M.

1	The Very Worst of The Worst !	OMG ! Just when you thought that you had heard everything... My question is: where did they ever assemble such an across the board inept and painful to listen to group of singers. I mean really ! It just boggles the mind. I have NEVER heard a more lifelesss and just plain BLAH! rendition of a baroque opera in my life.I was punished for seeking out a bargain (got it 2nd hand @ a terrific price).Guess I'll go and dig out my trusty old vinyl recording with Teresa Stich-Randall, Maureen Forrester etc. to hear a passionate & even sanguine performance of this excellent Handel opera. That & the 3 excerpts by Marilyn Horne on her early Bach & Handel disc, which are GREAT ! Enough said. Avoid this set at ANY & ALL COST. *JTQ.	11	[ "OMG!", "Just when you thought that you had heard everything...
