Question: Title: Not up to STANDARDS Review: First, let me state I am a HUGE Stephen King fan. I own most of his books and read/reread/rereread them time and again. But I was sorely disappointed with From A Buick 8. There were times when I wanted to just put it down and move on. It did not have have the gripping storyline I have come to expect. It did not have characters I was really interested in. It did not have compelling dialogue and was more of a standard kind of story with some science fiction added in. I have read Stephen's comments as regards this book and he is right. I am not sure if it was done to satisfy a contract or to fill in the gap while finishing the Dark Tower series. In any event I am sure it is not a book I will be picking up again any time soon. Not on my recommended reading list for anyone, least of all a Stephen King fan... Is the review positive or negative?

Question: Title: Experienced Knitters Only Review: I've had this book for months and while I do flip through it occassionally I've yet to cast-on one project.I wish some indication of the level of difficulty for each pattern was included because this is NOT a book to learn new techniques. In my opinion it's for a very experienced knitter who is at ease using charts (up to 15 various symbols), doesn't need schematics, or even clear pics of the finished product. If you're at this level there are some lovely designs. But if you're not you'll need quite a large block of time without distractions or interruptions, excellent concentration, and some really good reference resources on hand. Most of the patterns assume you have prior experience in the more intricate techniques like colorwork, entralac, cables, etc...Yes, there are "easier" patterns but none so terrific that you couldn't find something similar on the net for free or just a few $.BTW, there are only a very few crochet patterns and they're nothing special.

Question: Title: Bad reception, breaks easily Review: I got this phone in August 2002. I had not had a cell phone for about 2 years. T-Mobile had just launched into Nevada & California. I used this phone from August 2002 - November 2003. I had to get it replaced by T-Mobile 4 or 5 times, which was fine because it was under warranty. The reception of this phone was never very good but I didn't know that as I hadn't ever used a GSM phone before. I finally replaced it in November 2003 with the Samsung E-105. What a different it has made. I have not lost service once in the city like I used to all the time on the V66.I have a family member who also got this phone in January 2003. The phone never worked inside her house. She recently got the Nokia 3595. It actually works at her house! It works really well in fact.I recommend everyone stay away from this phone!
