This album is absolute, undeniable trash. Hell, it probably makes the Green album look good (although I still refuse to listen to it as well). If you loved the blue album and Pinkerton and you have a lick of musical sense, you'll HATE this album.

but I think this CD is outstanding. To a newcomer to Alison Krauss and Union Station, as I was, I would have to say that this music on the whole is less bluesgrass than you might think and more folk and pop than you might think.Even the more uptempo and bluesgrassy sounding pieces, like track 2, don't burn fire like some other songs I have heard elsewhere but are nevertheless beautiful in their relative restraint. And, the more downtempo songs work as well as any, if not better than most, straightforward pop ballads. As a previous reviewer noted, the title track is wonderful in its restraint.

Having very sensitive skin I was very excited to see that this product works well with skin prone to irritation. My shave started out well, but by the next morning I had practically the same amount of razor burn and ingrown hairs that always plague me the next day. Overall, I am very disappointed with this product as it didn't work much better than your typical generic shaving cream.

This DVD shows off the guitar artistry of Ari Eisinger and every time I watch him I end up speachless. "Jesus Make Up My Dying Bed" is worth the price alone but add to that Ari's mastery of the nuances of Blind Blake's and Blind Lemon's guitar styles and you have a wonderful representation of the man who is probably the number one proponent of the pre-war blues guitar.

This is my new favorite cookbook! So far I've tried the Tropical Carrot Cake, the Balsamic Vinaigrette and the Tuxedo Cake (this one as the birthday cake for my daughter's recent party). All three were hands-down winners and left everyone hungry for more! Can't wait to try her other recipes. Unlike authors like Rosie B, Rebecca Rather's approachable style is easy and fun to follow, as she does not take herself too seriously, but the results are just world-class!Can't wait for her to release her next cookbook, hopefully to include more non-sweets. Meanwhile I'll be happily trying all the other recipes!

I have read several negative reveiws for this album and although I believe in freedom of speech - I hate trivial people. Her voice isn't the same they say - well lets see how your voice changes over 40+ years - by the way BARBRA'S is SPECTACULAR. Second, I have read - it's not uptempo enough - well enough already - Barbra has never been known for uptempo nor does every record have to be uptempo - I am so tired of hearing uptempo albums that are manufactured and trite - you want uptempo buy a Madonna Album - Leave Barbra alone - this ALBUM SHINES. Her voice glides with purity and grace - SHE IS THE LAST TRUE DIVA - THE LAST TALENT . If you are looking for Divas who are holding on it's not Barbra it's Cher.

This is classic sub-par movie making. Here's the lowdown: A pretty "lead" actress, minor nudity, bad (as in not good) acting, uninvolving throughout. A shame DMX has his name capitalized on (somehow the producers got him about 2 minutes of screen time). Lou Diamond must have really needed the work. Anyway, I fast forwarded through the vast majority of this disc only to conclude that it did not improve the experience very much.

An insult to one of the better science fiction books written by Robert Heinline. This film totally misses the point of the book (which was a study on both the nature of politics and on the future of warfare). Instead we get some really cute young boys and girls and some really disgusting deaths and maimings and some (it must be admitted) spiffy special effects of space armadas and alien insects.The plot of this film makes just about no sense. Character motivations are trivial and dull.Worst of all: there are no starship troops in powererd armor! Why didn't they call this film "Starship Lookers (get eaten by bugs)"?The director (Verhoven) hasn't had a good idea in 10 years. Why Hollywood film companies still let him spend millions of dollars to produce junk like this, well, that's Hollywood for you.

El capitan (my penguin) is the best surrogate for my girlfriend while we are apart. He snuggles me, but in a very platonic way so that I don't get odd feelings. He entertains others while they are over, to great effect. He is always there for conversation and never gets overemotional or heated even in the most passionate of arguments. He always keeps a stiff upper beak when I leave him for long periods of time, and never reprimands me when I return, because he understands that sometimes I just need space, you know? He is everything I need him to be, and when times get tough, he makes a good pillow (to cry on and to lie on).[...]

If you liked "The Better Life," don't ruin your enjoyment of 3 Doors Down by buying this one. It's much less rock-oriented - mostly just pop ballads, and as another reviewer put it "somewhat boring." The writing isn't as good, nor is the arrangement (they seem to have gone with a studio drummer this time). Several of the tracks reminded me of the more depressing stuff on Seven Mary Three's "American Standard."There are a couple of tracks that are catchy, but none as good as some of those on "The Better Life." I get the impression that the record company asked them to water down the album - either that, or they ran out of creative steam.2 stars (maybe 2.5) because of the disappointment factor. Perhaps the album would get a 3 if "The Better Life" hadn't been so good.

This is potentially a good tool. Unfortunately the jigging for tools is unstable and not straight. In addition the water reservoir "valve" does not work well. I've used (struggled with) it for about 3 years and now have it up for sale. I'm a professional woodworker and haven't time to mess with something like this.

The pacing was off, the execution nonsensical, and the material was not at all engaging. At no point in the film did I feel for any of the characters - as much as I love John Leguizamo, this was just boring.Pro: it occupied me for a little over an hour.

If you're like me, you bought one or more of these Intermatic in-wall timers and they're now dead (ahh!!). You can spend a couple of hours reading about how horrible these timers are if you want.....there are plenty of folks (including me) who are extremely upset with the company and the product.I have a different suggestion. Buy another brand, install it, and don't bother to do business with Intermatic again.....their lack of quality and failure to address a problem that's been present for years will catch up with them soon enough.I've done some poking around and just ordered two of these:[...]I'm not affiliated with this company.....just want to save you some time in researching a good replacement for your broken timer(s). If you scroll down the page a bit, they have a link to review customer comments for that Leviton timer and everyone seems to love it.

Purchased about 9 months ago, and one of my print heads just failed. A replacement is $80 so I'm going to look elsewhere--this printer has taken years off my life it is such a failed engineering design experiment! I've had problems with the scanner (both getting it to connect and physically the scanner mechanism falling apart). Consistently scans "crooked" when fed in the document feeder; occasionally misses pages. THIS PRINTER IS A PROBLEM. PLEASE BUY SOMETHING ELSE AND SAVE YOURSELF THE HASSLE.

Others have complained about the short cord, even though a safety feature, but more to the point is that few kids even see a phone with a cord these days. My son was 2 when he got it and is now 3 and rarely picks it up except for a moment or so. He'll push a few buttons, play some sounds and then move on. Another reviewer noted that the sounds don't come from the handset and it didn't matter to its function so we cut the cord off-- it simply is not realistic enough to be exciting to play with. The style of the phone is out of touch with what today's phones look like & how they work ... certainly there must be better options.

**1/2 The title of the film refers to the walls of the county asylum and to the hero's amnesia. Medical students may find attractive this ode to the benefits of Pentothal but certainly not amateurs of film noir. However I liked Herbert Marshall and his lassitude. Already forgotten.

This book touches on an issue important to everyone, as we face a large section of the population entering into this phase of life. To read this book is to step into the day-to-day experience of two brave and caring women as they care for their aged father. What they face over the span of a few months are a taste of the problems, surprises and trials that we will all have to go through. As I read this book, I realized that though I'm only in my twenties I too have to look at reality and think about my grandparents, parents, aunts, uncles, et cetera. I would highly recommend reading this book as a way to introduce yourself to the issue as well.

A book filled from cover to cover with definitions pertaining to its topic. Of note is the apparant disclaimer that "Definitions are drawn from many sources, including public laws and government manuals, but are not intended to establish legally binding defintions." Sources are included. Keeping in mind that no one glossary can cover all words and phrases on a chosen topic, there were terms missing that are commonly used in describing wildland planning such as degradation and disturbance. While two and a half pages are utilized in defining various terms related to grazing, there is nothing about pre-settlement or pre-European settlement conditions or human disturbance zones.

I love this AC. I had the 8000 BTU unit and wanted to upgrade to the 10,000 BTU unit so the AC wouldn't have to work as hard. It cools my small 4-room apartment just fine. The controls are easy to understand, the "energy saving" feature turns the fan and condenser off when the proper temperature is reached and keeps it off until the temperature changes. It isn't as noisy as the other reviews seem to say, and delivery is amazing. I ordered it at 2pm on Monday and Tuesday morning the UPS man said my AC was here. I told him it wasn't possible, but he assured me that the 71-pound box was for me. I got it in LESS THAN 24 hours. AMAZING. Buy this and you'll have a cool summer, I will.

In Map of the World you come to understand that what you perceive as truth, is true to you but may not be true to another person. Filled with feelings and imagery for emotions, this book is thought provoking and uncommonly sad. It is worth reading, but is a bit wordy.

I've had this game for a while now and I find it a blast to play. It's basically everything that you shouldn't do on the roads and can't do.Being a little older and having to deal with the daily to and from work driving I like the fact that I can go home and take out my aggresion fron the daily drives on the other cars in this game. Check them into the walls, rails, ditches, whatever to get the points and so on. I like how some of the achievement you actually have to land on top of the cars and all kinds of crazy stuff. There is also the revenge aspect were if someone hits you then you get extra points for getting them back.If you are thinking of getting this for your kid/teenager, probably not a good idea unless you make sure that you explain that this is only a game and nothing done in it should ever be considered for actual actions on the roads/streets.

I bought these specifically for using on a 7-day cruise. Had I paid any more than $45, AND if there was anything better out there, I'd be sending them back.The range sucks. You can't communicate from Carlos & Charlies to the Forum shops in Cozumel. You can't talk between the gym and the outdoor pool bar on Rhapsody. If it's quiet, you can talk between the Casino and the theater or between the Solarium and cabin 7574.The sound sucks. With ANY background sound you can't hear the speaker. With no background sound, you can't hear the speaker unless the talker is exactly 12.72 inches from his/her unit when speaking.The battery life sucks. It won't last all day.The charger sucks. Even with the charge light lit, it sometimes doesn't charge.The red screen lighting sucks. It's too dim to see unless the moon is NOT out.Other than that - when it's very quiet and the other party is only around the corner they're not bad!

Aside from Twain's depiction of God as a malevolent and mischevious deity, the story illustrates Twain's pessimistic view of Christianity in general. There is much vitriol spilled - toward God - at the end of the work. Certainly the death of Twain's daughter had much to do with excentuating this antagonism towards God and religion. Mysterious Stranger, especially the chilling conclusion, is a disturbing tale - as Twain no doubt intended it to be. A worthwhile read but be prepared to have your religious moorings and faith shaken.

If there is any valuable information in this book, it is not in the first 100 pages, which was all I could bear to read. The first 100 pages were a string of anecdotes concerning notable financial advisors who made woefully bad investments, but the author, despite the title of his book, included precious little explanation of WHY they invested as they did.

Purchased new for 119.95. After 6 months it started to leak everytime it brewed from the bottom. I called Krups, and they refused to do anything, even though It is suppose to have a year warranty. According to the numbers on the bottom it was made 2.5 years ago, and that's what they are going to use as date of purchase. Very poor customer service. Don't buy Krups.

Compared to more modern versions, this iPod is a bit on the chunky side and its screen display is telling of its age. Navigation through menus takes a little bit of getting used to thanks to the rotational wheel, and is tedious if you have a massive amount of songs and want to listen to one that starts with a letter further down the alphabet. Other than that it's a solid mp3 player that gets the job done.

This book struck me as hastily thought out and written, with no love or energy expended on it.The grand concept is not particularly interesting, and the bits and pieces stuck together to flesh out the concept are hackneyed.I found it slow going and confusing, and not at all worth the time or effort.Not recommended.

If Christina Ricci was looking for a role to separate her from the roles she's played before, this wasn't the one to take. She is definately worthy of a better performance and script.The plot is missing and the acting is bad. From so many talented actors, it is a great disappointment. Johnny Galecki's nauseating performance as a gay man is insulting to the gay community.The production itself was disasterous with bad sound and at times lighting.Definately a movie not to watch.

I have the audiobook version of this book. I wanted to get the print version so that I could make notes and read it again. This is a good book for those who want to begin writing anything. It was also interesting to get insights into how Stephen King became a great writer. He is very candid about his parts of his life both good and bad. If you're interested in writing or want to know how Stephen King approaches the craft read this book.

I love Seinfeld's sense of humor. I loved the TV show. I own all the available DVD's. I'm eager to see him on stage.As for this book, if you've seen the show, you will have heard the jokes. I was hoping that the book would have talked about more about his life. I would have liked to read about his relationship with Mike Costanza, the guy who was to a degree the inspiration for the antics of "George Costanza". It would have been nice for Jerry to acknowledge the extent to which Mike Costanza helped Jerry become a success. A good book to read that covers that subject is, "The Real Seinfeld: As Told by the Real Costanza" by Mike Costanza and Greg Lawrence. I strongly recommend that book if you want to read about Jerry's rise to fame and glory.Sadly, this book doesn't do more than tell us jokes we've already heard.

Roger vonOeck's WHACK series -- cards, books, etc -- are an outstanding way to boost your level of creative thinking in many areas of life: professional, personal, and even parenting/relationships! Whack-y approaches to perception and problem solving foster a "don't panic" mentality in troubleshooting and problem-solving with their upbeat attitude, but don't let that fool you into thinking that they are not the seriously useful tools they are. Highly recommended, R.vanO's WHACK and related materials will enhance your way of thinking and doing almost anything to which you apply their concepts! 0:) S.Mako

This book was a compilation of anecdotes from 40 years of working in the White House. Although I found some stories to be humorous, I enjoyed very little of the book. Although the cute stories humanize our nations presidents, knocking down their "God like" image, I believe that there was no reason behind writing this book besides the fact that she could.I found some stories interesting, and I even cracked a smile on a rare occasion, but for the most part, this was just a silly way for Ms. Thomas to get money for a whole lot of who cares. Maybe if I had grown up during the past 40 years she was referring to, I might appreciate it more, but for the younger reader, it offers very little in entertainment.

It certainly doesn't give you as close of a shave as the old fashion shaving cream and shaver, but it does a good job. If you shave often (don't let it get too long) it doesn't scratch or pull at all, also if you go over one area a couple times you can get a close enough shave. The cleaner cleans it really well, just not sure how much it will add up to be.I also haven't used it for a long while so I am carious to see how long the blades work as those are pretty pricy.If you want to get an electric shaver I would recommend it, also I would recommend trying an electric shaver cause so far I do like it over shaving cream and all that jazz.Also as one last note it goes over the groves just as well a standard shaver, but thing long hairs more near the neck it doesn't do as well. I have pretty bony jaw and it works well. Also the price and shipping time was really good.

If you are looking for an intelligent,hilarious film, this is the one. Steve Bucemi is his regular quirky self and Thora Birch is as good if not better than her role in American Beauty. It is worth seeing for the mini-mart scenes with acid washed jean man. Stay til after the credits...you won't be disappointed. the movie is set to an amazing soundtrack (think Oh brother where out thou) and there are glimspes of some very fun artistic pieces. Can't wait to own on DVD!

Although I am a long time fan of Mountain Heart, I was disappointed in the pace and scope of this album. I was looking forward to a great bluegrass album, and instead found a CD full of new acoustic country ballads and one or two average bluegrass songs. Overall the choice of songs seems to me to be a bit hit driven and country in flavor. It's over produced and overly polished.I respect these men as musicians, and will continue to buy albums and support them as best as I can, but I hope their next album is a little more traditional and hard driving. Don't get me wrong, there is NOTHING wrong with experimentation, and there is certainly nothing wrong with striving for a well produced album, but great albums need it balance...to much polish and you cover up the heart and soul of Mountain Heart.

When a movie panders to the star's appeal in one useless elongated opening shower scene, you should know what to expect ahead. Kate's tough gal schtick ran out its welcome not long after she opened her mouth.The unimaginative appearances of the killer, red herring, trap hole, mind-(D)umbing final twist and the 'whiteout', GEEZ.... can these elements be more stupifying cinematically in their timing? Then again, this is the same uber-auteur for Gone in 60 Seconds and Swordfish.One star for the Antarctica setting and one star for the scientists who ran across the pond naked. Who said geeks can't party? Too bad I didnt while watching this, maybe I would have blacked out this crapola.

I used the Porter Cable jig 10-15 times before it started falling apart. Not long after that it was useless. I probably could repair it but for the money it should work flawlessly for a long time. A great idea that was executed badly. It is not worth the money when you can get the Templaco jig for $100 more. I use many Porter Cable tools and can only say good things about them. I don't understand why they allow a tool of such poor quality to have their name on it.Buy the Templaco jig instead. It gives you a lot more bang for the buck. Once you're spending almost $300 for a tool you might as well spend the extra $100 and get something that really works.

I've seen many versions of Jane Eyre but this was simply the best. Ruth Wilson captured Jane's passion spot on and Toby Stephens was the perfect Rochester. The movie followed the novel quite well - enough that I was satisfied. It was riveting to watch - despite the fact that I've read and watched Jane Eyre numerous times - I was glued to the screen. Don't miss this version - I don't think I've seen it's equal.

Funny situations, thoughtful acting by very good actors like Sigourney Weaver, Tim Allen and Tony Shalhoub, realistic spaceships and special effects combine create a near perfect Sci-Fi Comedy. The underlying story about people who don't really know what they're doing, but who get by "acting like they do" makes this movie satisfying for a more "serious minded" adult audience too.

I admire Liz Story a great deal. She has a wide range of piano skills, and I can really feel the emotions she puts into her pieces. Sometimes though, she lets her emotions run a little too freely, and doesn't rein them in so much. Then it gets a little tedious to listen to, beacause it's not clear where she is going, or will end. But other then that, this CD is another fine feather in her cap.

My opinion is the food plan will work but this book is not laid out well. I found myself going back and forth trying to locate the info I needed. The book refers to info in previous written books which I do not own. This info should be included in this book! The first 4 chapters tend to cover the science aspect of the diet...For me a simple statement would do since I don't have any interest in the rest or even understand most of it to be simply honest.Moving ahead...I did begin the cleanse process, only using 1 of the supplements suggested...(taking herbal lax's 3 x's daily is not healthy in my opinion so I chose not to use that portion of the cleanse) I did lose 6.5# my first week.Even though I have had success with the cleanse part of the diet, I am disappointed in the book as a whole.

So, its up to you, buy it if you need it for like a week, but don't be suprised if it breaks in a week!my suggestion,DONT BUY IT!

On my first round out, the glove ripped at the wrist as I was putting it on. Of course, that was 32 days after I bought it so no refund for me. The leather was nice and it fit well, it just seemed to be a design flaw. I guess this is to be expected of a $7 glove.

This book is just plain awful. Avoid at all costs. Sweet 'n' low is less artificial than this book. I mean come on!! If you are gonna make up a story, at least use a little imagination and invention. *this is a story about absolutely nothing, with no subtext, no entertainment* Why do people praise this book? Probably the same people who go out and buy some tom waitts (another way overrated snake oil seller) cds cuz they heard he's cool. Kundera is about 75 (he's probably older - just lying about his age) so hopefully he'll kick the bucket soon, and not leave behind any manuscripts. How long will we let Kundera serve us a number two on toast and call it gourmet? Stop the madness!! This book bites.

The price of this book is way too high for the type of book it is. A more reasonable price would be $9.99.

The Amazon web site implied that this cable was needed with the DVD I bought. In fact it was not. It is a small item, not worth returning, but I felt cheated.

On the Rails is about Linda Niemann's paradoxical life. A PhD in English, she turns to the railroad for a career. A tough strong woman, she openly shares her battles with alcohol, an unsupportive mother and an up-and-down love life. Her prose does credit to her scholarly degree. She evokes the life clearly, even brutally. You can almost smell the fresh tomatoes at the depot in California.Niemann tells the story of a bygone era, when railroading was a craft and "rails" lived hard. It's the story of anyone whose career gets in their blood and becomes a life. As a career coach, I recommend this book for symbolism and lyricism but also for thenotion of choices made and roads taken. You'll remember Linda for a long time.

Bought this CD set for my wife for Christmas and we both enjoy falling to sleep to the sounds. No music. Just the sounds of nature. I highly recommend this set. A really good bargain too!

This penguin while quite adorable, did not work and therefore became not so adorable. It did not function what so ever. When I called the 800 number as I was told to in the trouble shooting guide, I was only left with the option to leave a message. After doing so twice over the course of a day or two with no return call, I decided just to try a few more times not leaving a message but hanging up instead when I reached the machine. Aparently annoyed by my calling, a very rude man told me to stop calling and hanging up! Wow! What a horrible company this was to deal with, and I would recommend you stay clear as well.

Really hoped that this product would repel the asian tiger mosquitos that are common in northern VA. It did nothing for the mosquitos, but it did seem to repel the gnats that are a frequent annoyance in the grass. I gave two stars as a decent gnat repeller, but it would get zero stars as a mosquito repeller.

I have read several of Lee's books. He has a very good formula, and I find his style and content very entertaining. I believe it is a shame that Tom Cruise was cast as Jack in the new movie entitled Jack Reacher. Lee has gone to great effort to build the character as a large, muscular man who is not partucularly physically attractive, but very fit, and intelligent. Tom Cruise simply does not sell as this character. I think the casting director of the movie should be fired.

This train is probably one of the best contructed of the series.If your little one has seen the movie "Thomas and the Magic Railroad". Then "Lady" is a must have to his or her collection.My son loves recreating scenes from the movie with Lady, Dessel, Thomas and the others.

As a new teacher, my mother recommended this to me. I read it pver the holiday and was impressed with the story line as well as the inspirational and spiritual messages that this book contained. Every other page has a great poem or quote that is applicable to all people of all ages and races. This has such a powerful message that is not easily forgotten.

I need a case and maybe a second battery, so I got this Accessory Kit 2. Nice soft leather case(fasten with velcro and belt insert on the back of the case), genuine Canon battery(for my Canon SD110), and I'd say neckstrap as a bonus item since I'm probably not going to it use anyway.

I purchased the carpet saver runners thinking they would stay on the stairs and all I did every day was reform them to the stairs and straighten out the heavy traffic areas. I thought they wased up aweful too, they all balled up and curled up on the edges. I went back to the runners with teeth and heavy duty carpet plastic until I get a darker shad of carpeting.

Like others here I have had coffee all over my counter. Now after only 6 months I get an error2 code. I will call kitchenaid today but I really don't want another one. I have other Kitchenaid appliances that I've had for years.

This was the first book that I have picked up since College to read for pleasure. Thanks to the writing style of Anne Rice, I am now a book hog. I read all the time. It was such a pleasure to read about relationships of Louis and Claudia, Louis and Lestat, and let's not forget the love and hate of Lestat and Claudia. This book brings to mind the era of true southern hospitality. When times were simple and things could be explained away without question. To bring the vampires to modern day and see the changes we have always taken for granted. This is truely one of the best novels I have ever read. Thanks Anne

I was very disappointed to see this chuck wobble so much. Granted, drivers with those quick release hex shanks are prone to wobble because of the loose connection, so I tested this check on a drill with a regular chuck and there was less wobble but still noticeable. Apparently, the chuck is not attached completely straight to the shank... quality control should have caught this. I immediately filed a return request, and ordered a Hitachi chuckHitachi 321823 1/4-Inch Hex Drive 3/8-Inch Keyed Chuck Adapter with Key. The Hitachi is larger and heavier (accomodates 3/8" bits) and does not wobble when tested in my regular drill.

This is one of the best books on Mathematics I have read recently;reading it gave me pleasure similar to I had felt while reading classics such as Hardy's Pure Mathematics and Titchmarsh's Theory of Functions about 30 years ago. Starting with a thorough and encyclopedic treatment of Gamma Functions , the book develops, rightly, the thesis of grandeur and ubiquitousness of Hypergeometric Functions,to then cover some of the most important special functions known today. And the beauty lies in precise,to the point, yet historically complete and 'multi-angled' as well as rigourous treatment of every topic covered, with a large number of exercises of nontrivial nature dealing successfully with details which probably could not be included in the main text because of desire to keep the size of the book within reasonable limits. Nonetheless, the authors have delightfully and almost magically been able to cover a lot of ground in a mere 600 odd pages.

The DVD is great in quality for picture and sound. The CD does not have near as good quality. There are no suprises here and a live cd should not be made by Coldplay...why? because the songs are the exact same as they are on the album. All of their songs follow the same structure, same chord progression, same repetative beat. Yellow is to Politik as The Scientist is to Amsterdam. The worst song on the album would have to be In My Place, where he clearly doesn't want to sing the chorus because he probably is scared of going flat and allows the crowd to do it for him. The song is not as powerful as it is on the album. Just buy a Rush of Blood to the Head and you'll be more satisfied. A reviewer referenced Oasis copying the Beatles...well Coldplay copies U2.

On this album sublime really stuck to what I love about them, good fast reggae and great lyrics. Sublime also adds a good mix of punk rock which makes this album I think the best ska album out there since 40 oz. to Freedom in '92.

In the same form as his "into Thin Air", Mr. Krakauer has brought the mountains to armchair alpinists all over the world, except through a collection of short stories of a variety of experiences, history and people. The book is educational, easy and interesting to read. The fact that the author himself is a climber adds a very real substance to the story that allows him to write intelligently on the subjects without it being unnatural, and how he can brings information to the forefront of what he is writing that he himself finds amazing.My only problem with it is with all these places and people, photographs would have helped to enhance the stories he is telling.For anyone into adventure, climbing, outdoors or even survival, this would be a book that should be read. Not for the lessons but more for the information and enjoyment of it.

The title is what lured me to start reading this book.Basically, the book is FULL of long difficult words and by no means conversational or "fun" to read. It requires the reader to concentrate intensely in the later chapters to understand the message. The book only briefly mentions a few select thoughts by Graham and Buffett and misses a lot of the important insights and timeless wisdom of both men.This book is more focused on the authors aspect of value investing and can be seen by his detailed (and unnecessary 20+ pages) of corporate governance and macro economics.I don't know whether he was trying to write a novel here with all sorts of metaphors, adjectives and 'colorful' descriptions which does not make sense when related to finance and investing.Better value investing books out there for sure.

Not a horrible book, just a bad one, this novel is perhaps one of the most overrated in all SF. I am a fan of Heinlein's, but this book represents a personal nadir in his writings. A problem is, perhaps, that straight SF has never been RH's forte, and that he really does not have the depth of insights into how and why people behave as they do as do, say, Melville or even Austen, or for that matter Orson Card (to give an SF example).Do not waste your time or money on this preachy, overly-long, non-insightful novel. ("Hey, the devils have seen to it that we're not going to reproduce, so how's about we nuke ourselves?!" Baaaaaaaarrrrf.) Heinlein has written enough decent material that he has earned the right to have this embarrassment quietly forgotten, revered only by neo-hippie New Ageists

I bought 3 of these on Amazon at the same time. 1 is still working. The second worked for a little more than 1 week and then stopped working. The third is DOA right from the package. Also, the picture on Amazon is slightly different from the one that was sent.I'm pretty disappointed - too many flies around now!
