| Suspend All Disbelief | I had high hopes for this novel, given the caliber of Mr. Berry's other novels. However, the number of illogical situations and conclusions were too high.1. What woman doesn't know the difference between her husband and a stranger when making love?2. How can it be expected that a suspected murderer will tell you they are responsible for a death just because you want to know?3. How many billionares will invite three strangers, who accuse murder, to spend the night?4. Why would parents assume that their children's uncle (who has no mention of special skills/employment/security system) could keep them safe from killers?Unfortunately, these are just a few of the many times the reader is requested to accept situations or conclusions that do not make sense. I give one star for the research of facts related to the Amber Room and one more for the basic plot with the sincere wish that more were appropriate. | [

THE AMBUSH SCENE WAS SO DESCRIPTIVE THAT I FELT I WAS THERE WITH ALL THE FEAR AND TERROR GOING ON IN MY MIND AS I WAS WATCHED THE SCENE UNFOLD.IT STILL STICKS IN MY MIND. I HAD READ THIS BOOK IN 2002 AND IT WOULD NOT LEAVE MY MEMORY SO I BOUGHT IT AGAIN AND WAS SURPORISED AT WHAT I HAD FORGOTTEN SO I ENJOYED IT ALL OVER AGAIN AND PROBABLE EVEN BETTER.DAVID BALDACCI IS IN THE SAME LEAGUE AS LANCE SWARTWOOD ONLY BETTER KNOWN. | [

| Never read anything like it. | Wow! This book was such a surprise. I've been a fan of this author for years and am always wowed by her stories. There's nothing like them. This one is no different. Such a unique story. Nothing is predictable, nothing is cliche and it's about real people. If you're tired of the same old same old in romance you definitely need to read this. | [

| Invisible Girls | I'm no teenager -- but I read this book and my "inner teen" felt like somebody is finally listening. I'm 56 and have abuse history -- this book is wonderful -- I will buy it for any teenager I know -- but I'm keeping my copy for me -- it shows me if I'd had some help, somebody who HEARD me, things wouldn't have gotten so bad -- and it does my heart good to know there are people like this author -- (a therapist who says you don't even need to go to a therapist -- just tell SOMEBODY) who puts herself on the line for young women. I'm a writer/journalist -- and the book is also a good read! | [

| Worst Accounting Book Ever | I just finished a Governmental Accounting class that used this textbook. It is by far the worst book I have had in 4 years of college. The examples are horrible. There is no color. Most accounting authors try to make the material interesting. This is a book that will turn potential accounting majors away from the field. | [

| Stoic. Regal. Brilliant. Divine. | Commenting on "The Queen" is a bit like daring to touch the Mona Lisa - there is little that might be done to improve it and much that would not.Helen Mirren is brilliant. She conveys a sense of that regal place, owned by ruling monarchs, of tension between service and leadership - modernity and tradition - privacy and publicity. "The Queen" is a picture of paradox: a woman wholly-sacrificed for her people and a people willingly sacrificed for their sovereign. Mirren captures the paradoxes of the servant (whomever would be the greatest must be the servant of all) so beautifully and stoically.In our world, some arrive at their life's positions by talent, some by hard work, others by luck. But the Queen of England is thrust into her world and her position by divine Providence. And for us mere mortals, Mirren's performance is all that. | [

| Squeak squeak | I have always worn florsheim shoes. Last year I bought 3 different pair. I am only writing on these because they are the loudest. I am so embarrassed to wear them. Sore feet and squeaking has always been the norm the first couple of weeks, then like magic they would become the perfect fit. Now people hear me coming from so far away. I have soaked them in liquid oil and finally went to saddle soap. Stretching only made this pair worse. My other pairs, courtland and lexington also too loud to wear to work. Disposable... | [

| an unusual writing technique | Joyce was quite understandably frustrated when his magnum opus, "Ulysses," did not immediately receive the critical attention he felt it warranted upon its publication in 1922.Thus it was that the artist, while composing his next work, "Finnegan's Wake," got into the habit of periodically banging his head against the typewriter keys, a poignant expression, obviously, of the searing torment boiling within him.Happily for us, the result of these repeated cranial collisions can be viewed in the contents of this volume. | [

| Move over, Britney, the genie's on her way! | After hearing the 'catchy' Genie In A Bottle, I thought that the rest of the album would be like that. Was I wrong! Genie's great and all, but I love all the ballads! Like "I Turn To You" and "Reflection". I also particually liked "Somebody's Somebody", not to mention "So Emotional" and "When You Put Your Hands On Me". I better stop before I mention all 12 songs! The bottom line: Why is everyone comparing Christina to Britney Spears? Christina is truly talanted, any much more than a one-hit wonder. She's going to be around for a long time. | [

| Stay with the Lady, lose the Bird | I accidentally stumbled upon Karen Ann about 2004 (or maybe because of a New Yorker article about her?). Nevertheless, I was enchanted by her songs and voice and unique style. When I lived in Chicago, I had the opportunity to attend her shows at three diverse venues. Each was a great pleasure. After her 1st three solo records, I became curious about this "Lady & Bird" thing.I was much dissappointed in comparison with what I had previously heard. Not to say it was bad, but just sort of lame in comparison (Blue Skies being the possible exception). I have just now noticed that there is a new L&B; record. It might be better as it contains about a half dozen songs, versions of songs from previous Keren Ann records. | [

| This product is no good | I bought this product because I wanted to clean my silver necklace. The package says that it is supposed to remove all tarnish, however after soaking the necklace in the foam for literally an hour I managed to remove just a small portion of the tarnish. The necklace looks a little bit shiner but I would not say it's a noticeable difference. The foam is just a baking soda paste and I think there's no need to pay 6 dollars to get baking soda delivered to your door. Very disappointing.Clarification. After I got no results from vehemently rubbing and lathering the product on for about 15 minutes I decided I might as well dip the necklace inside the container and leave it there for a few hours. After more rubbing and lathering the results were minimal. It might be safe for gemstones but it doesn't really work for silver. | [

| Irish toe jam flip flop | If I could rate this film lower as in 000000. This film is well deserving of triple digit zero's. I would not recommend this whatever one might call it to anyone. It really has such an unrealistic approach followed by tasteless, mis-crossed cultural perceptions that are totally unrealistic with a non-creative flair of deception both to Irish and African American culture.This film was not worth the money or time to create and is certainly not worth to time to watch.... | [

| Outstanding tribute to Chappie and Mays | This is one of the better baseball books I have read. I remember seeing it in hardcover in a Borders in East Lansing, MI, around 1989. (I never picked it up because I was a poor postdoc). Both Mays and Chapman's lives, and how they fatally intersected, are described in detail, almost as if the author was actually there. Sowell is a talented writer, he covers the era in general outside of baseball well. I agree with a previous reviewer, this is fantastic movie material, I wonder why the story has never been picked up? | [

| Corrections to Amazon's synopsis | I would endorse the earlier positive reviews of what I believe to be one of the finest anti-war films ever made but I have to add that it would help if the Amazon editorial review of the film were at least accurate. David Chute's text refers to the war as 'grinding to a close'. The action is in fact set on the Taman Peninsula in late 1943. The ghastliness of the Eastern Front was to rumble on for at least another year-and-a-half. Also he refers to the German 'martinet' played by James Mason. This is quite wrong - Mason's role is that of world-weary, sympathetic and supportive commanding officer. The villain of the piece is Maximilian Schell's Captain Stransky. And such a shame that the summary focuses on one disturbing scene two-thirds of the way through the film when there are so many well orchestrated combat scenes and philosophical confrontations throughout the story. | [

| Awesome product; frustrating packaging | Package shipped and arrived in great time. Solid steel box and tight crisp operation. End cap fits very snugly and seems to be water resistant (not water proof, but should keep water out in all but a sustained downpour). Fits great on my 2005 Chevy Colorado. I was surprised how durable and rugged the end cap is. Feels like it could take a 10 mph hit and be fine. One suggestion for the product would be to put a rubber gasket around the lip of the safe door - this would add another good layer for water resistance - I could easily add this on my own, and might.Now onto the packaging - it was AWFUL to get through. I had to cut the plastic in so many locations to get it open. I ripped the paper instructions that were folded into the bottom of the plastic. This has no impact on the product itself, it was just super annoying.Once I get my spare key in there, I'll have no worries in locking myself out. | [

| Completely Disappointed - Put your money elsewhere! | I purchased this humidifier for my daughter's room first and it worked well for a week - don't mind the noise. Got a second one for my son's room and then both humidifiers quickly had mold buildup, iron buildup and the white film (reportedly lime from the tap water) all over the entire room and machine. I did clean the humidifier after 2 weeks but the buildup occurs so quickly that you will spend more time cleaning your humidifier and rooms than it is worth! Put your money elsewhere. Other reviewers said using distilled water or filtered water will help but the mold in the machine is just too hard to clean and really this is a health hazard! Please purchase a better product! | [

| Vishwamitra is a breath-taking visual feast! | This production is lavishly done, seemingly with no expense spared for the gorgeous, elaborate costumes and special effects. If you loved watching the Mahabharata epoch on dvd, you will love Vishwamitra even more; whereas the Mahabharata seemed to be all gold and red (the traditional colors and jewels worn by the gods in Indian art), Vishwammitra is pure eye-candy with its wealth of multicolored pastel jewels and the rainbow-hued, silken fabrics on the royal personages. I found myself "pausing" the dvds very often just to take it all in, including the elaborate sets!The music is also hauntingly beautiful and enhances the mystical quality of the filming, as well as the story line. The actors are wonderfully-talented, and the English subtitles are well-done, too. If you are a Bollywood fan and also like to delve into Indian tradition and cultural mythology, you will be enlightened and entertained by this excellent production. | [

| A good starting point for AD and D | This hardcover manual covers pretty much everything the player needs...note that I said player. To create adventures (which is required) you'll probably need the DM's Manual as well.This book features a decent spell section, both for priests and wizards, and explains all the rules, however the artwork is TERRIBLE!In summary, a good introduction to AD and D - as long as you are not going to be a DM. If you are starting up a gaming group with some friends, this book will not contain everything you need. | [

| The second best book I've ever read... | James Redfield, in The Celestine Prophecy and The Tenth Insight, has given us the greatest gift we could hope to receive...the meaning of life. Those who doubt the truth and validity of the insights are simply not ready to accept the changes to come. Redfield's books have changed thousands of lives, and given spiritual awareness to many previously-professed atheists/agnostics.If you only read these books for the excitement of the "adventure," you will be entertained, at the very least.In my opinion, any reader will stop and contemplate life more than they had previously. That makes every reader more conscious, which raises our collective consciousness! (One step at a time...)I negate the accusations of "commercialism" in reference to Mr. Redfield or his work. His contribution to society is worth much more than any amount he could earn.James Redfield's works have been the turning point of my life. HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! | [

It can be hard to evaluate something which is more geared towards being 'preventative.' Still, I think the product has been helpful when it was taken at the onset of symptoms. So, cautiously, I would say, yes it is effective. I would want to try it again a couple of times before declaring for certain that it works. I do think it was helpful. | [

| The worst printer ever? Could be. | Although my printer hasn't yet died completely, there is clearly a problem with the chip that reads ink levels. I use a printer very little, yet every time I turn on the computer, my ink level reads lower. When I remove the cartridges, there is clearly plenty of ink left, as evidenced by the "sloshing" sound. Believing it has no ink, however, the printer will not print.I also have a horrible time with the defaults. It constantly resets to 4x6 as the default paper size, and full color printing. Just try telling it otherwise! What a nightmare. This printer is not worth any price. I haven't decided yet whether to send it to Goodwill, or the dumpster. | [

| Disappointing adaptation | For a book with so much amazing imagery and such a well developed plot, the movie adaptation was honestly pathetic. Had I watched it without reading the book first, perhaps I could have enjoyed it as a mediocre adventure film. With the technology available today for special effects, so much could have been done better. And the alterations to the plot and characters were unnecessary and irritating. If you loved the book, do not waste your time or money on watching the movie. | [

| Very poor quality for HDMI | After two years of using component cables for my Xbox 360, and a year of using a Monster HDMI cable for my PS3, I decided that the difference in quality between the two was noticable enough for me to go out and buy another HDMI cable for my Xbox. After shopping around, and seeing the price and reviews for this cable, I bought it, and in all honesty, this cable is much worse than even my component cables. I tried a few different movies, and a few different games, all to no avail. Characters in my games are choppy, and pixelated, and all of the movies, even in HD quality are blurry. I decided to switch the two cables to see if it was just my Xbox, and immediately noticed the difference. This is a poor cable and I would not reccomend it to anyone who cares about the quality of the graphics on their screen. | [

| Great book, terrible audiobook | I was very disappointed. I'm a big fan of Covey's but I did expect this audio program to be longer and deeper providing more knowledge and inspiration.This book is simply a very short REVIEW of the book, repeating, not explaining, for the most part, Stephen's principles - only a real devout of The Seven habitsmight get any use from this refresher.I know that Audio books are sometimes condensed or abridged but this is so short and shallow, I feel cheated | [

| WTH?!?!?! | I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE THIS ITEM!!! WTH?!?!? Horrible service. I ordered 2 other dvd's the same day and I got those maybe a week after I ordered them. Here we are over a month later and STILL NO THE DEPARTED!!! I know I didn't pay much for the dvd, but I DID PAY FOR IT! All I want is what I ordered. The only thing that gets under my skin about this is the fact that out of all 3 dvds I ordered I looked forward to getting this one the most..... GO FIGURE!! | [

| Bad!! | I have read all the Diana Palmer books I have found. I used to love her as an author. But the past few books have bee bad. This one in particular was awful. They don't have the same romantic feel as some of her previous books. I think I may stop buying anything from her and get them for free to read from the public library until she starts writing the way we all know she can again. | [

| author's insights and purpose | I can't say which of these stories is my favorite. I love the story of my dying mother's last date (with Burt Reynolds), or the day I slept with the pope,or the exquisite little story Rose Kennedy told me, or the day I handed out Gospel tracts with Lenin,or the free-flow flight of imagination from my childhood. I cuddle up with Tripod, the smiling dog. Ron's Ghost haunts me,and Cap'n Rudy's storm at sea inspires me. I simply cannot believe Bev Smith's weird, but true, experience. My purpose is to cause the reader to laugh, to cry, and be moved to God. Only time will tell if these great faces will haunt others as they have danced across the stage of my mind | [

| EXIT SOME OF MY CASH | I like small movies. Independent films. Quiet horror.When done well.This one almost - almost - fit the bill.There were decent make-up effects, some atmosphere, a novel placement for a zombie outbreak and even some good performances once we got past the over-wrought histrionics of the first chapter of the story. Sometimes less is more which would have been a good film editors suggestion, in this case.This isn't a really bad movie. With a little more effort, this could have been a special film. But, unless you're a friend of one of the individuals involved in this production, a die-hard zombie fan or feel 'Lizard Lick Towing' should be in the running for an Emmy and those darn "Squatches are just too sneaky to ever let themselves get properly photographed, splashed like a deer on a bumper or leave tell-tale bone piles lying around, find yourself something else to watch.Sorry, didn't do it for me. | [

| Repeat the lie often enough and the masses will believe it | Sean Hannity, the fascistic voice of the rich and powerful, presents his arguments as a defender of liberty (wotta joke!). In Sean's mind liberty means one party (Republicans) ruling with an iron fist. If a majority of us keep on listening to clowns like this then I'm afraid for the nation's future.

| Aquarium divider - needs to return to old style | I own an older divider which uses a stiff plastic divider which stays in place much better. The screen on this unit wants to come out of the side supports and sets your fish back into the main tank. We spent the better part of two hours before finally getting the divider in place. I would certianly look for a divider with a stiffer center piece the next time. Perhaps someone knows the secret to holding the screen in place. | [

| Disappointing | I have to agree so much with G Man. The plot was great, but the character development was poor. The romance was totally unbelievable. I also didn't care too much for the author's theology, but find it quite understandable. The LCMS is the bastion of dead orthodoxy. Quite typical that the fictional hero hadn't prayed in years, was disdainful of other persuasions of Christianity, and showed marked antipathy towards Orthodox Jews. Very, very disappointing indeed. | [

| College student Review | There is one word I would most aptly use to describe McPhee's book as and that is "Journey." There is a journey, or sense of forward motion through Wyoming, in and out of the past, and characters.While I am not a fan of geology books, McPhee makes the different rocks and mountains seem like flowers with soft petals sprouting all over pages brought on by time and a striving against weather to exist. He almost makes it as if the rock formations are more than objects, like they themselves are characters in the book. | [

After four months, a dozen calls, and several faxes, Samsung support operators have been unable to transfer my problem to a decision-making level, let alone fix the machine. Their operators have admitted to being overwhelmed. I finally bought a new cartridge, which cured the problem. But even now, Samsung can't find anyone who can authorize a reimbursement. God forbid your Samsung product should have a flaw that can't be corrected by a trip to Staples.Samsung ML3051ND Compact Laser Printer | [

| Beautifully written, a masterpiece | This book flows so well from topic to topic so seamlessly that one is surprised when one realizes the subject has changed completely. It is beautifully written and poignant. The book hit so close to home for me I was shocked. Every single aspect and dimension of rape is covered leaving nothing out. The information is accurate and credible, and the argument is very convincing. Susan Brownmiller is a genius in creating this masterpiece. Every single woman must read this book and the anonymity between us must be broken, it is time the sisters unite and create a better world. | [

| Don't listen to the other reviews - it's terrible | Horribly drying. Even with moisturizer twice a day it was terrible. It didn't make me break out, but the powder is weak and comes off on your fingers very easily. You can't touch your face for the entire time you have this on for fear of messing up your skin tone. It is flaky and doesn't spread evenly, as well as being strangely shiny so that it's obvious to see you're wearing makeup. I would not recommend this to anyone. Ever.EDIT: And keep in mind I got this at the actual store so it was not some fake sold to me by an online salesperson. | [

| "Event Horizon" at sea | This movie takes some well worn ideas and puts them to sea, along with some 21st century gore and really bad soundtrack. Really too bad, because they still could have turned the material into a great story. Instead we get a couple of shocks, a montage of grisly deaths, and a "surprise ending" that's anything but.Still, not a completely abysmal entry in this category. Julianna Margulies is acceptable as a Sigourney Weaver (a la Alien) type who knows how to deal with the situation at hand. There's certainly worse out there. | [

Anyone who has children would look for this first, yet it's not even in there. There are many common stains that aren't even listed. I wouldn't recommend this book; and I'm surprised that Oprah did. | [

| bad. | I don't see why everyone is saying that Madonna came back, and that this is so good. Her title song, "Ray of Light" is stupid, and the sound effects sound like toilets flushing and heaven knows what else. "Frozen" is okay, but it leaves you thinking that maybe she did freeze while singing. Madonna is immoral in many ways, but her latest way is tricking people into buying an album that is nothing but some sounds she didn't even think up with her voice, which has not improved. | [

| Works Well But Has Flaws | Have had this unit for about 3 months now and have to reset it maybe once a week which is a pain and you lose your data at times when you do that. It locks up or a feature stops working like the voice commands and then you have to reset. The bluetooth is not worth the extra money since the speaker is too low at top volume. I can't see any benefit to the picture or MP3 options either, so I'd go basic if you get a Magellan RoadMate unit. This does work well and has great features when it is working. | [

| Stay clear of this one. | The following review refers to the 30th anniversary edition. I was expecting a lot from this edition, but after watching it I was very disappointed. In my opinion, the added footage doesn't really add anything to the movie. If anything, it detracts from it. The new music score is also very disappointing. Loud, overbearing, and totally out of place in this film. And I won't even go into how terrible the acting is in the new scenes. If you have never seen night of the living dead, I definitely don't recommend this version for your first viewing. Actually, I don't recommend this version at all. Stick to the original. | [

It's a bunch of very slow, mostly acoustic nonsense. Very large disappointment, especially considering the work and style of the bands featured. It's like a compilation of their worst work ever (which would be why it's all so rare or previously unreleased). | [

A 16 meg card so she could take more pictures. Just try and download them. The USB only works on some computers. The other cord takes about an hour or so to download. So I bought a card reader at 50 dollars. Didn't work at all. So I bought another card reader like the one I have for my camera. The ZIO It didn't work either. The problem is that this camera doesn't compress the pictures. No card reader will work that I know of. Now I have two hundred dollars worth of junk.

I have read many books that speak to these issues but in mystic, ancient and overly poetic phrases. David cuts to the chase and makes his point to the psyche of the American (but not limited to) male and female. David uses real life situations that we all experience in the life of a relationship. I often find myself pausing and reflecting on the valuable information shared in this book. I highly recommend this book to men who truly love women and want to continuously grow in a new redefined male identity. | [

| Saw it twenty years ago... | I am a huge fan of Hanks, Law, Newman, Leigh, etc. They were all great in this movie. However, I was very disappointed in the screenplay itself. It was said to be based on a DC comic novel but it was a ripoff of an early seventies Japanese series Lone Wolf and Cub...or maybe DC stole the idea first. Even much the cinematography were taken from Lone Wolf but set in the US. It's not a bad movie but save your money and watch the better version, rent the original. | [

| absurdist masterpiece, Dadaisms' belated but finest hour | This book definitely made a huge impression on me when I first attempted to grok it upon some hipsters recommendation. Now I consider myself a bit of a wordsmith and I enjoy heady, verbose literature even seeking out extreme examples(niche scientific journals((astro-physics, etc..)) just for the sheer entertainment value of perusing esoteric terminology. But this franken-book takes the cake uber alles. This book should come with a warning: !AVISO! FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY!, not the least of which should entail incredulous ridicule at the convulsions of lingual transfiguration signifying nothing which occur so profusely here. Paulo's chronic and protracted pscho-masturbatory transgressions against all speaking peoples should serve as a high-water mark for all writers seeking to crucify their intellects on the cross of academia. Beware of those who find this meaningful. | [
