1positive	Good size, heavy. You'll need some felt pads on the bottom if you don't want it to scratch your countertops.
1positive	Schoenberg's fearsome reputation with the music-going public is sitll potent enough to clear a concert hall, which is unfortunate for anyone who has missed out hearing his tonal works. The reviewers below have given detailed descriptions of this CD. I only want to add that the Concerto for String Quartet after Handel is a delightful, festive piece, and having just discovered it myself (I heard it as the score to a Paul Taylor ballet, Spindrift), my enthusiasm is sitll fresh. The two vocal works here are nearly as acceissble. In particular, the lush post-romantic idiom of The Book of the Hanging Gardens falls on the ear as seductively as Berg's early songs or Wolf's late ones. Maybe listening to these three pieces will make it easier for listeners to accept the twelve-tone Suite for PIano, which is quite beautifully composed for the instrument, but if not, the more accessible works are a joy in themselves.
1positive	Kate and Leopold is the perfect date movie. Its not the most original, and may be predictable but its certainly one that's worth seeing. Its about this duke Leopold and how he ends up in the 21st Century, and falls in love with Kate. Anyways in this culture it seems as though women are nothing more than sex objects since there are songs that degrade women and women in movies are often portrayed that way.Its nice to see a movie where women are respected and honored. Kate and Leopold is a movie that's worth checking out, despite some of its minor and objectionable content. This is not just a chick flick, women and men can both learn from Kate and Leopold. That truth, respect, and honor is still something that is valued to this very day.
1positive	This is the easiest timer I've ever used. The beep has a nice tone (last one I used was so annoying). Goes great with everything else in the kitchen. Works great!!!
1positive	I saw that the average rating for this book was 4 and a half stars and I had to write a review. This is the best trilogly I have ever read. The plot and story are wonderfully complex. Phillip Pullman is a wonderful author and has written this trilogy magnificantly. I must say that the beginnings are a little slow and dull but hang in there, it's worth it. It also might seem a bit confusing for some but it all comes together. I absolutly love this trilogy. It is hard to put in words my joy when reading it. I would recommend this book to anyone, young or old, which I have. The story only gets better and better with each book. I am just in awe to how Phillip Pullman thought up and wrote this intricate tale. It is filled with so many wonderful surprises and twists it is impossible not to love. Take my advice and read this trilogy, you definitely won't regret it.
1positive	Ignore Kavity Killer's one-star review; I don't know what his/her problem is with good ol' Lyle. If you have the slightest interest in Lyle, this disk is a great start. It's about as solid as they come, with a nice mix of upbeat and haunting tunes. Pontiac is my favorite of all of Lyle's disks, with Joshua Judges Ruth being a close second. Try it . . . you'll like it.
1positive	Purchased this product a few weeks ago for my tween son. He started with one wart on his foot but soon others developed. Previously we were using Dr. Sch**** for several weeks and it just had a minor effect on the warts. So, after some research I decided to give Pedifix a shot. It is working very effectively so far! No pain at all when he applies it. This is my 1st review written on Amazon, but not my 1st reading of reviews. I glean a lot of info from reading and analyzing reviews. I am glad I chose this product.
1positive	The geology of the Denali area is a fascinating mix where uplift from plate techtonics meet sharp glacially cut peaks. Mike Collier's book is the only one available for this area; and no, it is not out of print!
-1no label	We tried this bottle for my son, he didn't like it much. It was hard for him to latch onto the strangley shaped nipple, and the venting didn't seem to do anything. Also the bottle was leaking, and it was impossible for him to drink the last 1.5oz. I'll stick with our glass evenflo bottles for now.
-1no label	It died after 13 mos. To their credit, the company agreed to honor the warranty, so I sent it back. To their discredit, I never heard from them again.
1positive	I really NASB version, and I am glad that Life application study bible has it. It is good to study NASB because it is the most accurate one. Life application bible's layout is also easy to read and understand, and it is good for every Christian whether you are new belilevers or not.
1positive	I would recommend this for anyone. It was the funniest thing I have seen in a while. You will laugh so hard you'll cry.
-1no label	I purchased this device hoping to add bluetooth capabilities to my Mac Mini (I wish I would have opted for the bluetooth card option through Apple). The product description claims to support Mac OSX but when I tried to load the drivers, I realized they were only for PC. I then went to the website (which is awful) and downloaded the "update." Still no Mac drivers of any kind. And though the website also makes the claim of supporting OSX, there is no explanation for Mac users anywhere.I gave up after about an hour of messing with it and sent it back to Amazon.It may work well in Windows land but try something else for a Mac.
1positive	I bought this movie for my 2 1/2 year old for Christmas, because he loves dinosaurs, and I remember loving this movie when I was a kid. I wish I had re-watched it before watching with him, because I think there are some parts that would be a little better waiting until he is older (spoiler - the mom of the Brontosaurus dying, Sarah the Triceratops being really stubborn/mean.) Other than that, the movie is just as I remembered, a cute dinosaur movie for kids.
1positive	I've owned several other collars and this is the best one. I strongly suggest buying a remote collar because you have complete control of when it's activated. Our dog is 1/2 jack russle and 1/2 english pointer, very smart, active, and stubborn. Her barking was out of control when we had our son, and now she has calmed down considerably. She's happier and so are we.
-1no label	We have an apple Imac and a PC on the same system. No matter what we tried, we couldn't get the PC to recognize the airport. It worked great for my Imac, but we need them to work together.
-1no label	Seriously terrible. Why listen to some noname chick crappily sing Fiona songs when we can listen to Fiona herself? Run from this one!
1positive	This looked like a nice bra in the picture, but it had way too much padding for me and I was looking for a bra to wear in the hot AS summer weather. Might be great for a winter bra in colder climates.
-1no label	I don't need a lot of gadgets, etc. on an iron. I just want it to get really hot! This iron was not comfortable ergonomically. A lot of creaky noises when I used it b/c of all the "extras." Retractable cord is a nice idea but in reality is more of a hassle b/c it's another thing that can go wrong! Also, I would not even consider using steam in this iron b/c a portion of it has to be removed in order to fill with water. It's a whole lot easier to just use a spray water bottle. This iron was returned b/c it was not worth the $ and even at a lower price, we do not want to deal with an uncomfortable handle and gadgetry that tends to break easily.
-1no label	This Nolee doll is slutty. She is ugly too....... I am never going to get this ugly and slutty doll. I am going to get a beautiful and pretty Bratz doll. You should too if you want to have a fun life. And they are prettier and better anyways, and my Scene dolls suck.
1positive	I have LOVED this toothbrush. I even bought the kids their own. No messy tooth paste in the sink and on the counter. This product was highly recommended by my dentist. Once you try it you won't be satisfied with the own fashioned toothbrush
-1no label	I was excited for this item to arrive, but unfortunately the threads on the rotisserie rod were badly marred and stripped. Horrible disappointment... Returned for refund ~ Thank amazon.
-1no label	I have used this product for years, but this time it appears to have changed. It was always a firm gel which was easy to handle and apply. This tube is more of a liquid, very runny, and hard to use. I'm not sure if the manufacturer has changed the formula, or if it is just this one tube, but it is not what I am used to.
-1no label	I bought this for the sole reason that James Dean performs in it. This is quite a religious movie. It's actually about the events that took place directly after the crusifiction of Jesus. Everybody's boring and dramatic... just not... at all interesting. James doesn't have that big of a role, nor that many lines. I suppose this is one for the religious and the collectors. It's not for those who are craving a famed passionate Dean performance.
-1no label	Very disappointed.When this was done the original performers were long in the tooth and past their prime on the whole.When performers were substituted, they did not come close to the originals.
1positive	I have dexterity problems and also cannot use the hairbrush and hold a hair blower the way a stylist can (Now really, WHO can?) This has been great to stand on my vanity table. Just wish I had invented it !!
1positive	loved it, the whole series was great. i'd recomend the series. i enjoy all of susan mallery's books i have read
1positive	Deborah Bonham, sister of the late great John "Bonzo" Bonham of Led Zeppelin, stirs emotion and excitement in "Old Hyde". Her voice is amazing and powerful.Her band is great! The title song is sure to stir a tear or two...definitely worth a listen to...Hope to see her in Canada soon...Truly fantastic!
-1no label	I really enjoyed having this clock in the shower. I did not need it to be water proof, just water resistant as at most it would get misty from the shower but never wet. I kept great time and was easily visible. Then it died after a few month. New batteries made no difference. Contacts were not dirty.
1positive	I have been looking for a projection tv for about 6 months, None have been have been the right price since now. I could not believe that I actually found a picture in picture projection with component video in. I Love it I mostly use with my dvd player and DSS system. Which is mostly digital picture. Another thing is that I was very anxious to get it so I called amazon and talk to a representative. They were so nice and gave me all the information I needed.
1positive	I finished this book in just a few days, finding it a very easy read. Reality just jumps off the pages. Very hard to believe,however, we have to take it as it is in this world.Will read the follow up.
1positive	I got it correctly, but I was scared because the dictionary has been sent in a "wrong" enclosure showing "Rizzoli-Larousse" dictionary, whereas inside there's the correct Collins' dictionary!The dictionary is great, exactly as is written here: 900,000 entries, second, new edition.Buy it with confidence.
1positive	I first read this book 15 years ago, and it has been an integral part in shaping my views on knowledge. How do we know what we know? Why do we believe what we believe? And are there basic things about the universe that we still haven't pieced together? The book is a great primer that will push interested readers on a path of thinking about epistemology and its place in science.
1positive	Donna Hill never lets her readers down. 'Indiscretions' has it all, mystery, romance, and a passion to die for. As a successful attorney, Khendra Phillips faces the hardest trial of her career when she is asked to defend the man that she loves, Sean Michaels. Even though Khendra knows in her heart that Sean is innocent of murder, she still can't find it in her heart to trust him after he takes the promotion in the law firm that she was expecting to get. Sean Michaels is also a succesful attorney with a few secrets in his past that come back to haunt him. The one thing that he doesn't keep a secret is his feelings for Khendra. He is determined to do whatever it takes to win her back.This book was too good to put down. Don't think about starting it unless you have time to finish, you will not want to put it down either. The passion alone makes this book a keeper. If you enjoy this, try and find a copy of 'Rooms of the Heart' also by Donna Hill.
1positive	I think this movie is great.I know it is the original and Disney took it and watered it down.I have watched this movie since I was a child.I never knew of a disney Pinocchio until after the fact that I have watched the original.And once you have seen the original you would not bother with disney.It's more to the story,its more interesting.I have been looking for this movie for years now,and I actually found it,and can honestly say I would never be bothered with disney.The movie can be watched over and over again.
1positive	This book is a great read for both kids and adults.As with "Zekes" first book Red Card, once I picked it up,I had to finish it before I could do anything else. Green Streakis better than the Hardy Boys. It is contemporary and fullof action. I wish there were as many Zeke Armstrong booksavailiable as the Hardy Boys.
1positive	I am officially a swithcer!! I would never go back to using a PC unless I absolutely had to. The is a must have for anyone who is purchasing a Mac for the first time. The video tutorials walk you through some key features that really help you harness the benefits of a Mac. Once you start utilizing The Finder, Spotlight, Widgets, and more you'll wondering what your life was like without a Mac. Great buy, great instructor!!
-1no label	The pictures don't seem to be as good as they should be. The cameria uses batteries quickly, and the flash is inadaquate. The software is simple, the uploading of pictures is efficient, but if it doesn't work, there aren't many diagnostics. But for [the cost] what do you expect? I think just a little bit more.
1positive	Javier Marias demuestra su maestria en este libro, sera uno de los candidatos al Nobel en pocos años
1positive	Very easy to set up and works great in daily use. It clearly has benefitted from careful design - I particularly like how easy it is to rotate the direction of flow by turning the nozzle using the gnurled knob with my thumb.
-1no label	We do a lot of remodeling. We felt that the laser capability was not a sufficient enough reason to buy this square since it only gave a "dot" instead of a line. We've gone back to our old square and laser.
-1no label	Merlin is the worst Arthurian movie, I think, of all time. It contains boring scenes, wasted acting talent (meaning the greatest actors money can buy on a script worth less than a bottle of water), and unbelivable romances. Young kids who don't read books may enjoy _Merlin_, but this film is way too overrated for all the hype it got prior to its initial airing on NBC. I must admit that the special effects were great, but a movie can't ride on effects alone.... especially when it's almost 4 hours long. I thought it would never end. Even _Excalibur_, which I consider to be far superior than _Merlin_, was a bit too long for me at nearly 2 1/2 hours.
-1no label	Survivor AFRICA. This is a new copy for sure. Cheap, paper-covered discs dated 01/04/11 with incomplete etching on the play side. Shame. This purchase has RETURN written all over it.
-1no label	I've made numerous purchases on Amazon, some above expectations, some below. This, however, is my first review, as I can't let anyone make the same mistake my girlfriend and I just did. The process of removing the lacquer has resulted in my Brooklyn kitchen and entire apartment filled with a noxious smoke. The bottom of the wok is now black and it sits smoking on my stove. Oh, and my stove is covered with disgusting brown shavings from the bottom of the wok. Hey, at least those came off!I can assure you I followed the instructions on the package to the LETTER. After about, oh, a half an hour of making concentric vegetable oil circles in the bottom of the pan, burning the sides of my arm, and looking in vain at the bottom of the paper towels for the color which was supposed to appear but never did, I may need to check myself in to the local ER for smoke inhalation poisoning, 3rd degree burns, or psychiatric help. Or all three. Save yourself! Order takeout instead!
1positive	I along with thousands of others loved Andrew LLoyd Webber's Phantom of the Opera..and have read many fan fics, that were extremely creative.. I got this one, expecting the same.. It is and MORE.. Yes, there are many ties that take one back to the movie, however the author introduces an entirely new atmosphere! It really is a different story and reinforces the timeless elements about relationships, which made Leroux's work relevant even today- how events in our our lives shape those relationships..( To ALW- yes there was a love story in that book) LOVE IT! Ordering a couple more copies to share with fellow addicts!
-1no label	I usually don't do this, but I just could NOT stop laughing after reading the title of one of the reviews: "This album should be a 2006 Grammy Nominee"LOL! OMFG...that has to be, BY FAR, one of the most idiotic things I have EVER, EVER heard in my life. Grammy Nominee? This mediocre album would be lucky if it got shelf space in a discount rack at Wal Mart.
1positive	This is the very same Parisian-sounding track that's featured in Revlon's colorstay ad campaign. Great band from Bristol UK- sort of like Goldfrapp or Mono (Formica Blues). The song is an instant classic. See the video at www.ilya.uk.com
-1no label	This is an interesting compilation. A bit disjointed in timeline, but interesting slant on history if you watch the propaganda films. One film went so far as to suggest the Army Air Corp won the battle of Midway, rather than the Navy. Unfortunately most of the unique and never before seen material is of such poor quality, it detracts from it's content.
-1no label	Mr. Iger of Walt Disney World Companies (miramax).There are many movies we would liked to have seen but, they do not have ENGLISH CLOSED CAPTIONS FOR THE HEARING IMPAIRED as part of the menu set up. Why is it that a movie being distributed in the United States of America has spanish or some other language for subtitles in the menu set up? The PRIMARY language in America is ENGLISH. As we are hearing impaired and must have ENGLISH closed captions in the menu set up. I guess we will miss a lot of the movies produced by your companies.Without ENGLISH CLOSED CAPTIONS FOR THE HEARING IMPAIRED as part of the movie menu set up, we will not be able to purchase particular movies of interest. The one of most recent interest was The Boy in the Stripped Pajamas. You lost a sale on this one and I am sure as well as others in the future.
1positive	If you like the Rabbi Small stories you will enjoy this one as well. It is not so good as the "Classic" Friday the rabbi slept late" but it is brilliant as well. Rabbi Small finds himself in troulbe (as usual): in a middle of a murder case and his job is in danger too. naturally he solves the problems with his clear logic, so you can count on the next stories.
-1no label	my 4 yr. old daughter loves horses and wanted this one. When we put the batteries in it it worked for about 15min. then it stopped. I thought it was the batteries so I reinserted new ones and it never worked again!!!
1positive	What can I say take one of Rush's greatest album's master it to a Gold Disc...Only greatness can happen! The sound it crisp, clean and clear. There is actually a noticeable difference between this and my older disc.Welcome addition to my Gold Disc Collection.I'd still love to see a gold disc of Hemispheres someday!
1positive	Picked this up for $30. Works well, especially since it has no noise canceling circuitry.
-1no label	I had read several encouraging reviews and decided to purchase this book; and unfortunately, I feel that I wasted my money.On the plus side, while the author says nothing new, she does a good job of going over social and fashion trends of the time; I will give her credit for a decent job of writing and research.But for me, as for other vintage fashion enthusiasts, any book on historical garments must include lots, and I mean lots, of great illustrations, whether photographs or reprints from contemporary periodicals and catalogs. This is where "Victorian to Vamp" falls disappointingly short.The reprints are of indifferent quality, a couple of them quite crude (the author couldn't get her hands on a better picture of Amelia Jenks Bloomer? Come on!). And for a book of this type, why oh why couldn't the editors have sprung for a couple of prints in color?If the author would care to reissue this with the help of a better photo/print researcher, I might be tempted to revise my opinion.
-1no label	I recently took my CEH and passed, so from first hand experience with "using" this book as exam prep: I sat around with a group of friends and to help us all study we each read a chapter's practice questions and took turns answering. After the very first chapter, a pattern started to emerge. The incorrectness of these questions and answers were so obvious that we started to preface certain questions with "This question has the Sybex CEH stamp of approval", as we were uncertain at the time who to lay the blame on, Sybex or the CEH in general. After the preface was said, everyone in the group knew to answer with the most absurd answer option, and usually got it correct (according to the book). As stated above in the other 1-star comment, I have filled this book in a bown cardboard grave, hopefully never to hurt anyone else. I may bring it out for laughs once in a while now that I think of it. You have been warned.
1positive	Very easy to read and understand. My wife and I take the 7 minutes each day to read wiith our 12 year old daughter each morning before she goes to school. Such a blessed way to start each day! :)
-1no label	Comedy? This is a dark movie involving unthinkable acts of violence and tragedy punctuated with graphic gore. Somehow I missed the humor. This is NOT a feel-good movie. Everytime I thought it couldn't get worse ... it did! How this movie is considered comical is beyond me.
-1no label	the game wuz really good but this reveiw is on the few bad things about it. ok here u go1.u cannot skip cutscenes2.i am not an "expert gamer" so to me this wuz very hard to finish3.i wish they wud have done the relationship between tidus and yuna would have started earlier on4. they graphics are nice but all cg sequences are5.this is not on the game but a person wrote a review and they did not know that X means 10 so fyi: X=10!6.sum of the fights w/ feinds and bosses are really unfair7.wakka is a racist!8.rikku is treated badly cuz she is al bhed! damn u wakka!
-1no label	I bought this cream because somebody told me it was good for eczema, but not it is not true. I have eczema in my hands, I used and I did not work inmediately my eczema came back. I used in my baby who has also eczema in his legs and it did not work at all. Instead I bought a cream name ARNICA SALVE DE LA CRUZ and it did work so fast the results were amazing. The cream is natural and cheap. Awesome cream.
1positive	Very good detector for the price!I put it on my dash first and wasnot getting detections soon enough.I then moved it to my visor and wasvery pleased and got detections soonenough to leave me with plenty of (break)reaction time.
1positive	John Bunyan's, "Pilgrim's Progress"has to be one of the most captivating books ever written. This book should be "required reading" in today's school system. From the verybeginning Mr.Bunyan spins the tale of a journey that is most fantastic! Thur perils unbeliveable he somehow overcomes tremendous odds ofcompleting it. But yet he does andthe rewards are magnificent. A MUSTFOR ANYONE BORN AGAIN!!!!!
1positive	Based on the title, I was expecting to read about a range of experiments that would prove (or disprove) the existence of an afterlife. Instead, the main text of this book focuses largely on the author's research using spiritual "Mediums" in developing his hypotheses related to the afterlife. That's not bad -- it's just that my expectations included learning about a wider range of "experiments" by a more diverse group of scientists. It's an interesting book, and there are several appendices that explore other concepts including "energy" principles that relate to the human spirit and the concept of eternal life.
-1no label	I have tried using this unit for about 30 days in my home recording studio. First off as others have stated: this thing is packaged poorly. I should have listened to the reviews on this site and others speaking about the cracked power switch cover, as mine was damaged also. Plus one of the rack ears was damaged most likely in shipping from poor packaging. But these two things were not deal breakers. The main deal breaker is the incessant BUZZING from this loud annoying thing. I mean seriously! It is loud, and for a studio intolerable. Back to Amazon it goes. Thank goodness for Amazons excellent return policy since there are pieces of junk out there like this. I gave two stars because it looks cool. I am being VERY liberal. Advice: Get something else.
-1no label	I'm a huge BNL fan, but this is one of the most lifeless, lackluster albums I've ever heard. I've loved all their albums, even E2E which received mixed reviews, but I don't understand what they were thinking on BLAM. I've forced myself to listen to the album four times and there's still not a single track that I actually wanted to listen to. "Bank Job" is arguably the strongest track, but even it got old after two listens. I never imagined such a brilliant band would put out such a boring album. Even their trademark witty lyrics are just limp and juvenile. What a total disappointment.
1positive	I can not complain,brand new cd no scratch,and above all great music,,no broken case i love this group,,the instrument they use their song is amaizing
-1no label	I ordered this product from this company. I received this item in the right colors but in an ugly floral printed material. I contacted them and after 2 weeks of email tag managed to get from them a mailing label and the promise of a full refund including shipping. Moer than six weeks have gone by, I have sent 3 emails to enquire as to my refund and have heard nothing from them. I have no duvet cover and have been cheated of my money. DON'T TRUST THIS COMPANY. I don't mind a mistake in sending something, but ignoring my attempts to get my own money back is awful customer service. Buyer Beware.
-1no label	She's a harpie, a liar, a thief, and a mass murderer of police, soldiers, and children. Anyone who buys this book, or sells it, is helping the NRA murder more children and police. She's also helping the Bush traitors lie to and kill our soldiers in Iraq, our heroes. And the unconscionable comments she's made about the 911 widows....The list of atrocities goes on. DON'T BUY THIS BOOK!
1positive	Hello everyone. Thanks for the kind comments on this cd. Just so you know the band does get paid roylties on this release.
1positive	so i rated this as 5 stars when i first bought it. i have changed my mind to a 1 star. after a few months, this cover has matted down, the seat area folds up under me, the whole thing moves around everytime i get in and out so it will NOT stay in place. its not comfortable at all. i would recommend this product to noone, even if you are low on money.
-1no label	Just got this and tried it, following the instructions exactly. Took a couple of tries to get it to the point where it's barely wearable. It's way too balky and terribly uncomfortable. oh and forget about trying to breathe while you have it in your mouth...especially when you're doing cardio and need more oxygen.my advice is to stay away from this one...even though it's little cheaper than some of the others. saving a couple of dollars was definitely not worth it. at least for me.
1positive	Overall I am happy with the Lord of the Rings Armies of Middle Earth battle scale action figures. The detail and likeness of the characters is very good. All in all I believe any Lord of the Rings fan would be happy with this item.
-1no label	After barely weeks, one edge had begun to unravel...with gel oozing out. The seams are not well made. I have had somewhat better results with the Belkin F8E263-BLK Wave Rest Gel-Filled Cushion Wrist Rest Pad, a bit more comfortable, although one of the two I bought broke down at the edge after a year (not bad) and began to ooze gel. Belkin needs to think about having their Chinese manufacturing plant consider quality as part of the product.
1positive	Funny things started to happen after I read this book -- I stopped subconsiously criticizing myself in the mirror, I stopped caring whether that Death by Chocolate dessert was going to kill me, and, more importantly, I stopped feeling sorry for myself. Imagine that! Now, I basically do what I want, when I want, how I want and without any residual guilt.This book is Oprah/Dr. Phil with a definite edge. Let's just say that if Mae West were still around, she'd probably write the introduction.Enjoy and Indulge!
1positive	This is not a novel. This is a special product offering a view over a style of life and political events which distroyed and affected millions of people. To have the power,hallucination, talent and humor to create this story was unparallel. The proof is that even people living in US can appreciate and enjoy this book. For us who lived the hell, this book is like a Bible which helped us to survive.
-1no label	There is very little "advanced" material in this book. This book contains lots of useful intro material for beginners and some moderately advanced material for those progressing out of the beginner stage. Be forewarned, however...half the book is composed of useless filler - a hierarchical dump of all of the classes in several different dialects. This was obvioulsy put in to bulk the book up by a few hundred pages and a couple of pounds.
1positive	From Wobble's enormous and relentless bass thunder at the bottom to Levene's maximum treble teetering over the top with Lydon wailing in the centre of the mix this album is a culmination of all that went before. The anger and frustration of punk, the rhythmic innovations of dub and the newly ex-Rotten's urge to thoroughly shed his past and make something truly new. Back in bleak '79's London I remember thinking when I first got the Metal Box with its extravagant yet oddly utilitarian packaging that it would be a divisive and critical work - either utterly pretentious and misconceived or a complete masterpiece. It was the latter and sounds stronger now than ever. Is there better test of real art?
-1no label	My 3 yr. old son is a HUGE Blue's Clues fan so when I saw this, I picked it up for him. I'm sorry I did. I though it would be like his Handy Dandy notebooks in a Etcha-Sketch-sort-of-way. Boy, was I wrong. First, the child has to open the box with a key that doesn't quite fit, making it impossible to open. (Mommy broke a nail opening it)Once inside the box, the tracing papers just fell out, so it didn't work.Not a great product. I wish I didn't buy it because I had to make it "disappear" since it was so frustrating to my child.
1positive	I'm not normally a fan of horror novels, but I must say I really enjoyed this. It gripped me from the start. It's the only novel that truly frightening novel I've ever read. Just like Joey from friends, you'll want to hide it in the freezer so the horror doesn't get you in your sleep! Buy it now!
1positive	This is a profound tribute to one of the masters of 20th century poetry and contemporary music. From Montreal to NYC, Cohen's legacy, poetry, and art are depicted in a series of old photos, movies and performances by Leonard Cohen. Contributing performers, including Rufus and Martha Wainright, Antony, Nick Cates, Perla Batalla, Julie Christensen, U-2, et.al., interpreted Cohen's songs so well that in some instances, they brought us to tears. The ubiquitous backdrop of the bawdy Slipper Room in NYC added an unexpected even self-deprecating contrast to a man who is an ordained Zen Buddhist monk possibly evoking the lessons in the story of Siddhartha. Nick Cates' Vagas lounge act rendition of "I'm Your Man" opening the piece contrasts to Leonard Cohens' "Tower of Song" with U-2 at the end underlining the duality of spirit prevalent throughout the documentary. Get the DVD and the soundtrack CD. It's that good.
-1no label	The book lost me in the first seven pages of whining. It contains nothing new or unique in its information or documentation of the authors eating their way through Alaska. A complete waste of money.
1positive	I bought the grill because a friend told me how much they enjoyed panini sandwiches and I am glad I did. We are enjoying the grill immensely and have used it for all kinds of sandwiches. It cooks great! Clean-up is a bit of a challenge as you have to be careful not to immerse the grill in water while dealing with the hinged lid, but you figure a way quickly. I would buy it again.
-1no label	This is a very simplistic approach to a complex transaction. The attorney we consulted told us to stay away from a seller using this method. There are many issues involved, depending on the state. I agree with the seller's objectives, but there may be better qualified buyers that you may be missing...
-1no label	The item is likely a good one, if you ever get it. I ordered 2 from Amazon. After no delivery for a long time UPS said the box was found empty during shipment (likely not packed well I imagine) and the box was discarded. I called Amazon and re-ordered. The items came, both in plastic sleeves with the same 901114 part number, but were different. I got one to fit but the other was entirely wrong. I called Amazon for a refund and did manage to set one up but had to talk to a guy in India whose English in my opinion was marginal at times. If I get my money back for the incorrect part it will still be the worst order I have ever placed with Amazon. Whoever the supplier is clearly does not do a good job.
-1no label	This is an interesting and easy read for the intelligent mind. The author promises a lot in the title of "how little things can make a big difference" and offers an absorbing theory for this phenomenon. While the author linked his theory of epidemiology with psychology and sociology using compelling stories including Sesame Street, Blue's Clues, and the Fall of New York City Crime it seems this connection though correlation is flawed in that the author was simply looking for events, and interpretations of events, that confirmed his theory. One may also write a book about "how big things can make a big difference" or "how big things make a bigger difference than little things".As I said, this is a nice read for a Sunday afternoon, but I wouldn't make any "big" decisions based on the information in this book.
1positive	The title of this book is apt--it's not just that I learned about colleges I might not otherwise have heard or or might not otherwise have encouraged my child to consider. The book changed the way I think about colleges. It gave me some very different metrics and criteria than the ones I already had--and I'm in higher education and thought I already knew everything there was to know about this topic. Well worth reading.
-1no label	The few thrilling interplays amidst this total screech-and-sludgefest are almost a slap in the ear.
-1no label	The fact that this was straight to video should have been enough of a sign. I like others thought I would givethis a watch due to having read the series. I sure hope that Eisler didn't write the screenplay and if he did that he was paid enough so that he can create a fund to reimburse those of us that purchased or rented this movie.Some salient factors:1.) I generally don't mind subtitles. However, this was not billed as a foreign film? The majority of the dialogue is in Japanese with English subtitles, except for when Gary Oldman rants in American accent or the John Rain character speaks acceted English (was he not born and raised in the US?)2.) For all the points made by other review, the movie storyline did no service to written series. The Bourne series is proof that both the books and movies can be entertainingFar be it from me to cast asperions on how anyone makes a living, however, Gary Oldman must have needed a check!
1positive	I'm glad I read the reviews on the Vacuum before I purchased it because of a few minor problems that have occured. It seems that these problems have been on going for other buyers as well but it doesn't take away from the great sucking power that is hard to beat and the wide base really makes it easier to vacuum so I bought it anyway. It's still a great lil' vac. at a very good price. I'm glad I now own it and hopefully it will last a good while. Tku ~~Trish~~
-1no label	I am pretty sure this is a bootleg- the label doesn't look authentic, and the quality of the recording is pretty poor. Not only are bootlegs illegal, but it was expensive. Throughouly disappointed in this seller and Amazon.
1positive	Citizen Soldiers and the Victors seem to be very similar. Both books are seeing the American European war from the view of the fighting men. Ambrose reflects what these men say.Mistakes made at the Falaise Gap (not closing it) are gone into. It was the Brits fault. The stupid attacks at AAchen and the Hurtgen Forest are documented. In the Hurtgen forest we gave up our advantages in armor, artillery, and air power, to fight man to man in a jungle environment. Stupid.I can feel the bone chilling cold in the descriptions of the men.
1positive	This book is awesome, and the illustrations are amazing. I can't seem to find more information about the illustrator though. Does anyone have any idea where I can find more information about him or his work?
1positive	This book is fun to read, satisfying, thought-provoking--everything you'd want in a book. The storytelling is suspenseful, and you are so curious to know what happens next. What does happen next always feels believable, and logical, even though it is unexpected. To me, this book is the epitome of reading entertainment, while, as usual with a C.S. Lewis book, it delivers a deeper understanding of spiritual truths.
-1no label	I have a zwilling collection at home, kitchen knives, utensils etc. and love every piece. So i was shocked to discover how bad this clipper actually was. Both my wife and I tried to cut our nails with it, and it was not powerful enough to cut. I have returned the clipper and am trading it for the cheaper model with the plastic collection tray. DO NOT BUY THIS. It is truly a case of form over function.
-1no label	This book gave me an insight into the creative process that I had never experienced before. It was just as Gloria Steinem said "...how to meditate our way into our imaginations & to give our thoughts & feelings visible form" this book gave me a new found way to discovering my self and the artwork I produce. Thank you so much Nancy, I really appreciate what your book has done for me and hope that others find it as rejuvenating to the soul as I do.
-1no label	Not funny,bad story,ect.. Save your money! You will thank me later :-) if you wanna laugh look elsewhere..its not here
-1no label	What brought Ira Levin to this low? Rosemary's Baby and The Stepford Wives are two really wonderful books, and I hoped that this would be as good. Instead, I was subjected to possibly the worst novel I've ever read. (Yes, that includes the Bridges of Madison County.) The plot is ludicrous, the characters are moronic, and the ending is painfully dumb.I can only hope that the movie studios don't turn this into a picture. It's bad enough to defame the original book. Let's leave the original movie alone.
1positive	This is one of those books where if you say anything at all, you'll likely ruin it for others.A thirty-something woman looks back on her early life. Vague enough?Even though this book is only a few years old, it already feels very dated--the concerns / issues it raises seem ... well, implausible, and they pale in relation to the real stuff going on in the world right now.Nevertheless, extremely enjoyable and interesting.
-1no label	this product did not work fot me.i installed them and fill them with grease and could not get the grease gun off of the grease nipple.i pulled so hard the bearing protector broke. i had a seal, spring and a clip laying in the street. i still have the other part with nipple stuck to my grease gun.
-1no label	I loved "Bees," but this storyline was all over the place. The characters were unrealistic. The use of mermaid lore was corny and haphazard. The prose was trite. At times the descriptions of the ocean and the landscape were so cheesy it make me wince. I didn't like the content of the story -- the ending was a HUGE disappointment -- but content aside, the entire reading experience was unejoyable for me. I felt like Monk Kidd phoned this one in.
1positive	I used this for making jello jigglers, and it worked so well and turned out so cute! WAY easier than cupcakes, and still so fun!
