Insightful perspective on the Christian faith
It is a joy to re-read this book after experiencing Palmer's journey through the years. I found the book to be just as engaging today as it was when it was first written. I found the new preface to be one of the best articulations of an authentic and well lived faith that I have ever read. He honors not only his faith, but the faith of all traditions, by demanding that it speak beyond the confines of religious communities and our "inside" language. His work for years, and now his faithful words, embody what the Christian faith has known as "incarnational" theology - the word made flesh. I appreciate this wonderful contribution to the ongoing conversation between faith and the public square.

not the greatest quality
It's ok, but I was un-impressed.I think it is better to find a larger high quality kit and reduce it to a "adventure kit".This specialized kit is very limited in quality and quantity.I don't remember how much I paid, but it feels like a $5 kit.

Was surprised to find red eyes on the pig. Did not know that would be part of the pig package. Really would like to gouge them out. They seem, to me, cheapen the product.

Year of the Pig-2007
I purchased this delightful charm and have enjoyed wearing it as a necklace suspended on a gold chain which I purchased seperately. I've had lots of compliments on it, particularily the faux ruby eyes. It's a fun piece and perfect for the Chinese astrology sign that I am: The Year of the Pig-2007!

Quality control is completely absent
Don't buy this! I bought this to replace a metal one that was getting rusty. Thank goodness I still have the old one. I would not recommend this to anyone. The assembly instructions are almost non existent. The hardware doesn't match the white--gold colored screws on white? The holes do not align well and the fan back was too wide for the top shelf to attach. It's going in the trash.

Not a good choice
Having 15 season's of rock climbing under my belt, I know that it is "IMPOSSIBLE", to learn to "climb safely" in a weekend, maybe in a full season. This title forget's the total responsibility of a climber when at the crag, I am responsible for the safety of myself, my partner's, anyone new to climbing and to the sport of climbing. This title is absolutely irresponsible, even deadly...

overall good, but...
Competitive price, fast shipping, arrived in great condition. Lost a star due to manufacture. A well made product, but somewhat of a generic fit. Factory mounting cutouts were too wide and gave a sloppy fit despite supposedly "exact fit" for my bike. Fixed with a single hole paper punch, but punching pleather is worrisome. Held up on a 4,000+ mile ride in June, so I guess it worked.

Lasted a month or so...
It worked ok for a month or so, then began skipping like crazy from A to B sides and grinding to the point that it's louder than your ipod. It's extremely frustrating.If you listen at super high volumes this might work ok, but I'll be buying a different brand next time.

Terrible Purchase
I assumed all tape adapters were comparable. This one worked fine for 1 week. Then it sporadically ejected itself from the tap deck. A few days later it broke completely and is now jammed in my tape deck. The tape deck on my car stereo is now broken as is the Macally Podtape. I would buy another a different brand of adapter, but I no longer have a tape deck that works in my car. My worst purchase on Amazon to date.

Macally PodTape ipod cassette tape car adapter
This product does not work in all car cassette players. When played it gives you 1 sec of ipod music and then skips to what it thinks is the next track all the way through the cassette until it ejects itself. Don't buy this it is a big waste of money.

Terrible - Extremely Loud, Whirring noise, STAY AWAY
At first I thought it sounded OK, and that the little notch where the cable goes into the device was clever. Especially since my previous device died like that, frayed wire from the constant in and out of my car's tape deck. But I've had it for a few months and it has developed an annoying, super loud, high pitched whirring noise, more like racket. I have to get the volume up to 7 or 8 of 10 in the stereo to be listen to the music over the whirring.

Highest Quality Ever
What happens when you mix a heavy metal band with the San Francisco Symphony? High quality sounds that compliment one another. This is a highly creative (and original) task. Although I am not typically a fan of this gentre, Metallica knows how to transcend one's worries into the emotional impulses flowing through one's mind when listening to the work. The music demands--yes, demands--that it be played loud to hear the different symbols, vibrations, and impulses from the work.The base is particularly noticeable, vibrating entire rooms if played loud enough. My favorite songs on this track include "Nothing Else Matters," which send shivers down my spine, especially if listened to during a particularly negative mood swing. Nothing else matters indeed, especially after you listen to this and get over the pain you may experience at a particular time. A great band: Just wish they created more albums!-- Michael Gordon

Great movie
Though the technical specs of this dvd say it has only 2.0 audio, it does have 5.1 band and symphony audio. The "just band" and "just symphony" are in 2.0, it also has a band and symphony 2.0 format. The dvd has some other neat functions. On 4 of the songs you have 5 camera angles to choose from: the whole band (each has an equal ammount of time on the screen), just james, just kirk, just jason, or just lars. This function is especiall cool if you play guitar, drums, or bass so you can see what they are playing. I like to watch Kirk solo, since I play guitar. The picture quality is crisp 'n clear. It also has behind the scenes footage which is interesting to watch, you get the feel that you are chilling with the band. If you are a metallica fan that is open to all or most styles of music, I highly recommend this dvd. DOLBY DIGITAL ROCKS!!!

Only one DVD played!
This DVD comes with two DVDs part one and two the part two did not play at all and I bought it for my favorite song from metallica which is called ONE with like war sounds in the background and stuff.They guaranteed me it played. I tried taking out the DVD a couple times and try playing it again with no luck! I'm gonna call and see if they can send me another or give me a good deal on another metallica DVD?

A must
Having been fans of both heavier classical music and heavy metal for over two decades, it was positively astounding for us to see those two worlds merge into one in this great video. We have always been partial to The Call of Ktulu, Master of Puppets and For Whom the Bell Tolls, but watching them performed here shed an entirely new light on the musical structure, for the first time bringing to light what those songs actually contain. And the new song, No Leaf Clover - well, you will just have to experience it for yourself. Lastly it must be said that Metallica, in our view, have never in their entire career performed as they do here. They have always been good, on quite a few occasions terriffic - but this, ladies and gentlemen, this has simply to be seen to be believed. A word of advice: please view this on a powerful surround system and a big, quality monitor. To reap the full benefits of this performance, we believe it to be absolutely essential.

Almost Perfect
Mixing the sacred and the profane, Metallica perform some of their best (and worst) with the 104-piece San Fransisco Symphony Orchestra. Certain songs, like "The Call of Ktulu", "Of Wolf and Man", "The Thing That Should Not Be", "For Whom the Bell Tolls", "One", and "The Outlaw Torn" improve vastly with the extra textures that the orchestra adds, giving the songs more depth, and in some cases, balls-to-the-wall power. Others, like "Sad But True" and "Fuel", make you wonder why the hell they were included in the first place.Sound production on this is perfect and second-to-none. It's incredible to be able to hear the orchestra and the world's loudest rock band mesh together so well on some songs. Camera/visual work is impressive as well. Turn the lights out and watch this on a big TV screen with the sound turned way up. Guaranteed to make the neighbours move. Especially with "Of Wolf and Man" blasting out.

An Epic event I wish I could of experienced 1st hand
This DVD is great. I've had the S&M double-cd for a while and always really liked it. I finally got the DVD for Christmas and I think Michael Kaymen is a total genius for coming up with this idea and making it all happen, kudos to Metallica. Incredible job, a truly unique sound.Ego, vanity, and greediness aside I think Metallica and the Sanfrancisco Symphony did an incredible job and I would of given anything to see the peformance live.The DVD presentation is well done. Excellent DD5.1 track, although a DTS track would of been preferred the DD track is still a treat.This is an excellent concert and I recommend it to Metallica and Symphony fan's alike, you won't be disappointed.

Great features, but not enough old stuff.
This is truly a fun video, for the features others have mentioned. I am just the wrong kind of Metallica fan. I would prefer more pre-Black(brown?) album stuff. Why is it so hard for them to acknowledge the mastery of ...And Justice for All? I have this and Cunning Stunts and only 2 songs from Justice...aand they're both One! How about Harvester of Sorrow? Shortest Straw? Blackened, for God's sake!Well, enough ranting. This is a fine DVD, as is Cunning Stunts, with a fair amount of Old School.

Motallica thinks Metallica's S&M is Top Notch
For Metallica to be approahed by the San Francisco Symphony is a testiment that they are the best at what they do. The concert was tight, accurate, and professionlly done. James and the Gang give a awesome performance, they show they can play with some of the best musicians in the world. It's a must have disc.

This concert is amazing
Metallica is awesome. The San Fransico symphony orchestra is awesome. you put them together, you get one of the most amazing Sounds ever. It was like Metallica wrote the songs to be played with the symphony. Highlights are One, Nothing Else Matters, Master of Puppets, No Leaf Clover, and the amazing Hero of the Day. This DVD is totally worth every cent. Buy it now if you are a Metallica fan, or if you are just into good rock experimentation.

This is a Great Concert
This is a great step and great CD. Sound Quality of the CD wasn't great but acceptable. Admirable step both Metallica and San Francisco Symphony as everyone knows these two are too hard to combine with. But they have done it and I loved it so much. Already I watched it over and over.Down side of this concert for me was the song "Nothing else matters". I think they haven't good enough with that song. It is all time great song of Metallica and it could have been batter. That's the only reason I rated this CD four star.

The Award goes to Hetfield and his mates:the Band and Songs are great, like we know them.Orchestration is pathetic, quite obviously aiming for the Wagnerian,but to no avail.Mr. Kamen has yet to learn that in order to sound like Wagner,you've got to write like Wagner.Pity the poor Orchestra...

Powerful Concert - visually inspiring and audio rocks!
I didn't know what to expect from this mix of music (especially since I'm not familiar with Metallica). But the combination blends well for most of the tracks - in some cases the symphony is overpowered by the band.The video is good but should have been widescreen - Blu ray would have been ideal.Kudos for this production.Great concept executed quite well.

If you're a Metallica fan this DVD is definitely worth it. They do a great job performing with San Francisco Symphony and have some extremely stand out performances like "No Leaf Clover," "Nothing Else Matters," "The memory remains," and "Bleeding Me." This is definitely a Metallica experience that is unique in a very good way...you'll want to watch it over and over...

Metallica shines again!
A true masterpiece! There are so many fantastic things about this album: it's live, it's powerful, it's emotion filled and on and on. The ochestra gives a new depth to each of the songs especially "Master of Puppets," "One," and "For Whom the Bell Tolls." I recommend this to everyone. Bottom Line: A power performance that shows the true song writting abilities of Lars and James. Enjoy!

Good product, served its purpose
Good product, exactly what I ordered/needed. Ordered in April '12 as I found a mink was eating my koi at night (in addition to the herons and who knows what other varmints). A bit of a tight fit, but managed to stretch it across the entire pond. Good for keeping the animals out as well as leaves, etc. Now it's early winter and I need to get my decaying summer floating plants out and it's a pain as the grass around the fringe of the pond has grown up through the netting edges making it near impossible to easily pull the netting off or back. Came back to my order today to see how much I'd paid for this and surprised to find it was only ~$30, so I don't mind just cutting the netting around the edges and taking the whole thing off for the winter and will buy a new one next year; small price to pay each spring to keep the fish alive I figure. Would work on finding an easier way to manage it next year though.

Strong and Durable
I was so pleased with the durability of this netting. The other ones I purchased in the past at various stores were so flimsy they were hard to work with. This item was so much easier. I will not be throwing this one out after one use. Also the size was perfect for my pond. I kept the box so when I do need another one I will get the same one!

A KICK A$$ ANIME
This is the best anime I've ever seen and I have seen a LOT! I highly recommend it to those who like comedy, romance, and action. In case you were wondering, this anime is about a girl named Miaka and her friend Yui and how they read a book called the Universe of the 4 Gods. They started to read this book and got sucked into it. They end up in ancient China and were attacked by slave traders until this super hottie comes by named Tamahome and rescues them. I'm not gonna say anymore cuz I don't wanna give it away! So buy this! You won't be sorry!

Not up to par
I had heard so much about the Fushigi Yugi series, that I just had to try it and see for myself. So far, this is the only vol. I've seen. It seems like the story itself will become very interesting, but the animation has some drawbacks. The biggest let down is Miaka's voice. It sounds...[unrealistic], and, um...well, you'll have to listen to it yourself. However, I was very pleased with Tamahome's voice. ^_- The "lovey-dovey" parts of the story (a big part of it! ^_^) somehow hang in there and (particularly if you're a girl!) pull you in without seeming too unrealistic or melodramatic.For those parents or others out there who wish to know, there is a small amount of mild adult language, maybe what you would call "adult situations," but nothing too bad.Overall, I was very pleased and can't wait to see more!

So bad it hurts...
Now lets see...how do I describe this show...well first of all I can start off by saying its definetly Shogo. Yup 100% Shogo. For the unlearned souls out there that means that this show is sorta like Sailor Moon. While Shogo doesn't mean that it has to be Sailor Moon exactly (its really a style of art, but then again most stories written in that art style are Moon-ish)...The thing that struck me right off about this show is that first of all there seems to be well...no plot at all. I couldn't bear to sit through the first tape and I might as well give it away to a two year old to watch. While the dubbing was ok the series itself was just plain bad. I would not reccomend this to anyone. If you want a good fantasy show go check out Slayers, El Hazard (magna only I don't like the anime), Ranma, or way to many other good fantasy shows.

A Great Series
Although this isn't THE best thing I've ever seen, it's definately cute, and I heartily recommend it. The main character, Miaka, and her obsession with fast food lead to some hilarious scenes.That doesn't necessarily mean that the whole show is fun and games. There is some conflict, and love triangles, love cubes, and such and such. It is quite an involving show, and the opening and ending themes are very nifty (hehe). Even if they play them 4 or 5 times throughout the first tape.The animation is quite good, except it originally being a TV show, at times it slacks off. The colors are nice, and the character design and voices are great. Every aspect of the it, although not an incredible masterpiece, is still a great series and a fun tape to watch when there's nothing to do.

An addictive introduction to one of the best anime
Being the first Pioneer volume of the series, "The Universe of the Four Gods" acts as the exposition of the whole, complex story. Overall, it is very light-hearted and introduces the main characters, Yuki Miaka and Hongo Yui. There is also some subtle, hidden foreshadowing (Miaka's line "Are you really my best friend?"). Even if the rising action doesn't *really* begin until a couple of volumes down the road, this first volume is a memorable one, worthy of your anime collection.Of course, just because it is light-hearted doesn't mean it was made for everyone. The rating of 13-and-up is a good, solid one because this volume does contain sexual implications (rape was attempted in the first episode alone).

I love this storyline. I highly recommend the books. It is a romance for anyone 10 and up (beware of cross-dressing if you offended by such issues...). I must admit that the videos have left alot to be desired compared to the books. Don't expect the characters to always look as good as they do in the book. The animation also takes alot of shortcuts (many still scenes). I like the Ranma videos, those are very well animated, and I would give them a five. I wish I could give the Fushigi video series a five, but the animation quality held me back.

Another cowboy and indian story?
The vision quest of Crazy Horse as a young man shows us that the culture of these plains Indians wasn't primitive. In the 300 years since the Spanish brought horses to the new world,they had changed and adapted their hunting culture to the horse.That Indians ever won a battle with American regular troopswho had modern weapons and military training,shows that the Indian generals like Crazy Horse could learn and adapt.I think that this side of American history needs to be told and retoldas it points to the treaty breaking political nature of our culturethat in many ways mimiced the British Empire in Indiain the double dealings with the people of the lands taken.The slaughter of the Indians and the shipping of the young to schoolsshattered these cultures completely.It is pretty much a cultural eminent domain story...

A wonderful film of a wonderful People. Excellent actors and a gorgeous Michael Greyes! He is the perfect choice as Crazy Horse showing his sensibility, courage and brightness. If it where not for the battle scenes, that are featured bigger in movies, this film would easily fit to hold a candle to many other great movies. The native American People can be proud of having had such a brave man among them. And I can understand that he is a hero to much ot them.And it is so typical that this extraordinary film ist not out on DVD while You have no trouble getting Tonto and other poor stuff. I wonder if those deciding what comes out on DVD are still afraid of that man!?! I am only joking. Or provoking that it DOES come out on DVD!

A little complicated to use if you have never used conversion software before. This only allows you to copy DVDs. However, there are free versions out there that can do this.If you want to convert to various formats (WMVs, AVIs, DIVX, etc) recommend to get the Platinum version.

Imagine having pages of famous quotes read to you straight without any explanation other than a brief summary intro. Also does not have any examples of modern day implementation or how people use these concepts today. Perhaps most useful for someone with a taoist teacher or part of a taoist temple, but not really for a solo beginner. While most of the statements are easily understood & true, many are obvious cliches & it gets a little boring. Wish I had rented from the library, do not buy unless you have money to throw away.

Will not break your face out!
I bought the Ziaja Goat's milk package for my girlfriend as a bridal shower gift ... and then I ended up buying a package for myself as well. This is the ONLY moisturizer I have been able to use because I have both dry skin ... and the occasional blemish too. The face cream has "balanced" out my skin - less wrinkles and no clogged pores. It also goes on great under my make-up and lasts all day. I have what I call "cuticles from hell" - and the hand cream made it so I am not constantly going to get a manicure - I now only need on every 4-5 weeks. But the body balm was the best .... made even my crinkled soles of my feet smooth - and it can be embarrassing to have dry, thick skin on the soles of your feet when you wear high heels everyday! I can't believe this cream has been hiding in Poland - and it's so affordable (I used to buy La Mer and Murad - but now I can spend the $$$ I save with Ziaja on other things).

Squirrels immediately destroyed it
This feeder has a plastic cylindrical body with metal perches and small openings above the perches for the finches to get to the seed. For me, it took 1 day for the squirrels to find the feeder, chew a large hole through it and destroy it. If you are getting a thistle feeder, get one either with a squirrel baffle cage around it, or one that has metal rims around each of the feeding stations. (Although the other Droll Yankees feeder of that type which I have also lets the squirrels get most of the seed from a small opening around the metal bottom where the rain is supposed to be able to escape.)

A Great And Often Overlooked CD
After a bit of a lull in the early 1980's, Elton John came roaring back with this fun, romping work, Sleeping With The Past. I believe this one ranks up there with some of albums.From the opening track, Durban Deep, with it's thumping reggae roots to the rocking first single, Healing Hands this is a CD not to pass up. The title track blasts some E.J. Mojo as well and Club at the End Of The Street is reminiscent of those fun E.J. tracks of the mid 1970's like Island Girl. Probably the most popular song, the mellow Sacrifice, is also real gem.No, this isn't the masterpiece Goodbye Yellow Brick Road was, but if you're looking for Elton at his early 1990's best, you can't go wrong with Sleeping With The Past. In my opinion, it's among his 10 best works.

Elton John's Best Album of the 1980's
Without a doubt, this is Elton John's finest concept album since "Captain Fantastic" and it is a sterling homage to the Motown sound. However, the remastered version offers two duds at the end, which I think detract from this otherwise exceptional album. Virtually all the tracks could have been released as singles. Along with "Sacrifice", "Healing Hands", "Club at the Edge of the Street" are the equally exceptional title track, "Whispers", and "Blue Avenue". Bernie Taupin has penned some of his finest lyrics, period. This is a brilliant end to one of the finest periods in Elton's career, foreshadowing his great work on "The One", and especially, "Made in England".

Great end to the '80s
This album stands as one of Elton John's best. The track Sacrifice is worth the price of the CD alone. But there is other great music here, and lyrically this album stands up incredibly well. If you are a fan of Elton, get this for your catalog. You will not regret it.

Woof
I bought this book because Callahan is one of my favorite cartoonists. He has a razor wit and creative bent unique in our time. However, this book is merely a retrospective of the development of Callahan's art over the years (I'm assuming; the panels are undated). Many of the early pages are useless as humor; their only value is for an academic or a family friend. Many of the drawings are crude (early career?), and many of the concepts are repeated or are just not enlightening as humor. I was hoping for a collection of his finest work. Digested and passed in twenty minutes. Woof.

Second pair of Original Time Trader Stories
I read these in high school and enjoyed them, although the second book was not as good as the first, for me. Still a good read.

Norton Rip Off
I purchased this book thinking it was a new one from an author that I enjoy. turns out it is just a repackaging of two old tales from the 60's. Watch out if you are expecting something new.

DO NOT BUY this product
I applied this stuff to 3 metal parts on my motorcycle, all the parts were pre primed and dried and cleaned before application. I left for vacation and returned 4 days later. when I inspected the parts the coating was still not dry, it flaked off in my hands ruining over 100 dollars worth of parts. still not dry after 4 days of 80 degree 50% humidity san diego weather. this stuff is of poor quality. do not apply it to anything.

Be cautious of these bulbs
I recently built a home and installed these bulbs(not purchased from this seller) in almost every fixture. Of the bulbs that have burned out in the year since, half of them burned out within the first 2-3 months. Of those, half overheated when they burned out, causing the base to separate from the glass. It is possible that it was just a faulty batch of bulbs but my experience with them has led me to conclude that they pose a safety hazard to the user. I've had to shut power off in my home to pry the bases from their fixtures, I've had bulbs fall out when I remove the glass enclosures, and I've been sprinkled with tiny shards of glass that are probably still embedded in my carpet.

Very bad and frustrating toy -- avoid
The instructions for putting it together are very confusing, the pieces do not fit together well, and it is nearly impossible to get the toy to perform the behaviors the manufacturer claims it is possible to do. Mostly, the toy car just runs off the track. At best, this toy might be amusing for all of 30 minutes, less than it takes to assemble it.I can't believe this toy actually passed any kind of in house testing.

Too difficult to operate
This toy is not user-friendly for a 3-year old. It's very difficult to line-up and crank the handle to launch the car. It's also very cheaply made. My husband fiddled with it for just a little while before losing his patience with it.Not a good day for Hot Wheels around my house...

Toy pinched child's finger.
My child's finger got caught and pinched by toy. Really painful for him and difficult to remove his finger from where it was pinched without the toy cutting his finger. Also, track doesn't stay together well or stay in the circle form well. Mattel and CPSC have been notified.

Don't bother
This gauge doesn't come close to working. For one thing, it doesn't stick to the side of the tank, so it has no way of telling if the tank is full or not.Definitely not worth it. If I hadn't opened my package, I'd return it.

low quality hid kit and seller doesn't stand behind their warranty.
Bought my xentec kit back in march of 08, it was fine for about a month then one of the ballast broke and sent back to the seller and they sent it back and was alright for about 3 month now its happening again and the seller told me to call manufactor. DON'T BUY. If you still want the kit there is a seller on ebay ebox909 sell the same kit for 88 dollars and free shipping but the best part is a 2 year warranty that they stand behind.

Worth the money
I bought these HID's after looking into many different brands. My friend actually recommended these to me as well. The first set that arrived were the wrong bulbs. They quickly responded to my email and sent a second set. The second set came with one bulb burned out. Again, they quickly responded and replaced the defective bulb. The bulbs look great on my car now and work perfectly. I give them four stars because the HID's are a great value and the customer service was excellent. Overall I am very happy.

Work In Progress.......
This game is difficult to figure out. For the company's target range eight years and up need a simpler format to follow. It would've been nice for the characters to show step by step instructions.

American Girls Premiere
The American Girls Premiere had bad graphics and was not very exciting.The voices to choose from for your play were unrealistic.A small child would be very frustrated with this game because some of the instructions are unclear.Older children would probably enjoy this game,though.

BUY THIS GAME!!
This is the single greatest computer game ever. I recieved it when I was in 5th grade...and now I'm in college and I still look back fondly on it. I'm only now realizing the impact it has had on me creatively. I have a firm understanding of story structure, staging, and character development and interaction, all because of the stupid little joke plays I used to make on American Girls Premiere! It really is both fun and educational--even if you just play around with it, like I did. Some of my friends' and my greatest inside jokes come from this game--we still love to relive the hilarious dialogue and sound effects we made up ten years ago! Every young girl should have this computer game, I cannot recommend it highly enough!!!

Limited, but hilarious
Granted, this game is incredibly limited - those computer voices, few characters, props, and scenes, stupid music- but I still find it fun. I haven't played this game in years, and yet it still brings me fun after all this time. It's a little challenging at first, but once you get the hang of it it can be very entertaining. I wish they would come out with a new version with the rest of the girls and better features.

Great pictures, text not bad either but the typos?? Ugh.
This book left me with mixed feelings. It has great pictures and amazing help with color. The pictures speak thousand words. This book helps by just using the pictures as a reference when you are doing your painting. The text is ok, to my opinion hard to follow directions. I like step by step, this is not it. And one annoying thing in this book... the number of typos. Michelle, you have a talent, but PLEASE have somebody proofread your work next time before you publish. It looks very unprofessional and for the cost of this book, these types of typos are unacceptable to me. Hence the four stars, although my tru rating should be 3.5. It's better than 3 but not quite 4 stars.

The Borrowers VHS with Ian Holm
This was a wonderful TV series, but this VHS looks as if it was made by someone sitting in their living room videotaping it with a camera from the TV screen. It's unwatchable.

One of the best kids movies out!
This is a movie that can hold up to anyone's standards. It's clean, meaning no bad language or sex of any kind. If you ever read the books you will enjoy these. no movie is as good as the book, but this one does a good job!

It needs to be on Zone I DVD PLEASE!!
The British version of this delightful series is far better than the American re-make (even though I like John Goodman).As previously noted , we could do with out the narratives by boring Mr. Lewis ( Gerard Butler would make a much better narrator),I would love to have this for my twin grandchildren to enjoy when they get a bit older (they just turned 3).

Absolutely Chilling!
All I can say is that I found myself holding my breath at the ending. When I finished the book, I felt drained. What a book! Could not put it down. If you like suspense, read this.

Not like the old sets!!!!
My step-mother bought three sets of this for me for Christmas. Scarlet, cobalt and tangerine. I had seen the tourquoise set that my good friend has had for more than ten years, and was impressed. Well, these are NOT the same. They were already coming apart when we took them out of the box. After two years, I have an odd fork or spoon left. It is very sad! I emailed Fiesta and they said that they no longer make these or the glassware, which is also low-quality now.It really stinks, because they look so great, when they match!Buyer, beware!!! If you find the old ones, snatch them up quick!

Slow to start but quite rewarding!
I had to read this for my Great Books class in college and LOVED it! True it starts out really slow and the scads of Greek names got so confusing I had to start writing them down to keep them straight in my head, but once you get to the battle of Thermopyle the story moves like pure drama. Great stuff.
