Review title: I felt although this book was good, some of it was unlikely. Product review: I read Extinct last summer and after reading Steve Alten's Meg this morning would like to comment on it. Though Wilson certainly lacks the clarity of view of men such as Robert E. Howard and Edgar Rice Burroughs, he does present a very entertaining, scary read. At first, the novel seemed perfectly plausible though in the second half, I felt it began to stretch credibility with a shark foraging up the Mississippi and finally a pair of 200-foot sharks appearing for the finale. Despite these perceived shortcomings, though, I felt it was well worth my time to read.

Ans:increase

Review title: The best band that never made it big!! Product review: I never got the chance to see Cactus. I was reading about Rusty Day. There was a little ditty about Cactus. I listened to the snippets. I bought it. Mano-o-man!! I was blown away. Most of the songs are really good. Parchment farm live is as good as it gets. Starts out good gets better. At the end, it gets some distortion. The sound guy do better. Listen and Buy. You won't be disapointed. Thats the truth.

Review title: Clip broke Product review: I liked this for the clip, had it clipped onto suspenders. When I reached for it one time, the clip broke and it slipped from my hand into the water. It was not on, so I did not know where it fell in the murky water, and it was a bit deep, so I was not going to fish around looking for it. I will not get this again.

Ans:decrease

Review title: Big Brand Name Mediocre VCR Playback Product review: I'm very proficient with electronics and even I had problems reading through the instruction manual I gave up after 2-3 minutes and hooked it up without it. It was easy enough. This DVD/VCR combo has every feature you could want including 5x search forward & backward, this was great especially with the DVDs. There are two disappointing facts however: the lighted remote only lights 8 keys NOT including numbers, volume or channel keys. Also the VCR picture quality was miserable in comparison to the Phillips DVD/VCR (but the Phillips ate my VCR tape, I didn't try another). This was very disappointing coming from Panasonic but I've experienced poor picture quality with their VCR PV-8664 as well. so much so I'm returning it this eve. I paid ... at PC Richards here in NY over priced due to poor picture quality, poor manual, and only eight keys lighting on the remote, but you've gotta love the features (though not enough to keep it).
