Review title: had 'em a year or so Product review: We purchased these in 09 and with our large family we have put them through the washer machine and hot dryer many times without any problems. We like them and it seems the longer we have them, the better they feel and absorb water. Also, you cant beat the cost! Will buy again as we have many sets. Very thick and absorbent. Buy them. You wont be sorry.

Review title: Great buildup and then it falls flat Product review: I enjoyed the book until the ending. That was the one of the most disappointing endings to a book I have ever read. However, I guess every book of his isn't going to be fantastic. I thought the main theme of this book was very interesting, and the standard man and woman who fight the villain together and also become romantically involved (or at least attracted) is not a problem for me. Even though it's in every one of his books, it's also in most action movies and TV series (for example "The Outer Limits"). It's something that writers seem to think is necessary to appeal to the widest audience, to have a male and female protagonist. This book isn't one of his best--try "Servants of the Twilight", "Midnight", or "Mr. Murder".

Review title: I have read few books this moving Product review: After reading one of his books, I understand why Saramago won the Nobel prize. This book grabbed ahold of me and has not let me go, even three months later. The premise of blindness becomes a disturbing allegory of modern civilization where characters and places have no name. Of particular importance is the commentary on homelessness and disease. One character states that now that they are blind, no matter what they die of will have the stain of blindness - blindness and hunger, blindness and AIDS, etc. Although I talked with my wife about the novel, I could not wholeheartedly recommend her to read it because as moving as it is, the events are at times as revolting as literature can get. If you read literature to trigger emotion and thought, I can think of few novels that do that better than Blindness.

Review title: would not turn on after 3 uses! Product review: I don't know what to say about this product. I was convinced it was well worth the money after reading some of the reviews, but after 3 uses it would not turn on anymore! I have no idea what happened. Luckily I purchased it through Amazon, and they are sending me a new one right away. So a word of caution: buy through Amazon in case it breaks; then you have a guarantee that they will replace it if it's less than one month old. Hopefully the new one will live up to the hype! I have been wanting a CHI for years now.
