| Fantastic | I bought this book because I was desperate for something to read and I had already read all the other books available. It was the best full price purchase I have ever made. As an avid Romance reader, I can easily read upto 12 full length novels a week, I found this story to absolutely riveting. The whole futuristic medieval setting, a roller coaster plot, and the wonderful lifelike characters were truely unique. I read this book twice just to catch all the little details. Ms. Anderson is the best new writer I have ever had the good fortune to read. I can hardly wait for her next book. | [

| Arty Schmarty... | My stereo must be missing some crucial component. Having been advised of the required repeated listenings, I have done so for almost a year. I still don't get it. The Aluminum Group may have turned songwriting into a craft, but this was unfortunately done at the expence of art. What was promised as an eclectic breed of melding styles and sounds turns out to be just another unwanted stepchild. There are so few musical standouts here that one is left to mutter vague comparisons. Fountains of Wayne have done this prettier; Teeange Fanclub have certainly done this louder. Kent has done this in Sweedish; Even the Lily's have done practically this same record - song for song. There can be a brainful of fine musical details on a recording, even in one song, but when these details become clouded by muck, there is not much left to love. Perhaps I'll wait another year to re-listen. These are some very good musicians in dire need of some very good music. This one is good, but not very. | [

| Newlyweds | When my husband and I arrived at our honeymoon cottage, the lady of the house decided to leave this book out for us. Because we were busy doing other things, I was only able to read half way through the book. It is wonderful. We are still very much in love, since we just got married, but it contains a lot of life long advice, which I will hold on too. Its also very impressive how he completely bases his teaching on the Word of God, which is the only way to go. | [

| Courage without macho | The title of this book, "Tug of War," made me expect a macho tale of some sort. This book was anything but. I am a tug captain by profession, and Richards got all of the details right. But we see his story through the eyes of an artist, and a kind man trying to muddle through a violent, senseless world. This is a beautifully written book, full of poetic prose and humanity. | [

| MILDLY JOVIAL, CONVIVIAL, BUT UNRELENTINGLY TRIVIAL | Hormone-riddled yank teenagers take a gropefest tour to the EU. The general theme has been beaten to death in a bunch of other much funnier movies but apparently someone thought it has not been covered clearly enough. Despite this reservation, I rented this DVD for the sole claim that it included writers from the 'Seinfeld' team.Bad decision. The movie is grounded in drivel and delivers much the same odor. As though the handful (literally, if you get the drift) of raunchy scenes and absolutely idiotic props such as a computer that pronounces the arrival of email with " Mail, muthafukker" were not enough to scrape the bottom of the trench of tastelessness, we are inflicted with a Vatican City sequence involving dead-pontiff jokes and some leering copulation in a confessional.What can I say. Grossed-out, uninspired knockoff that can be skipped without missing much, unless you need a background for a particularly adoloscent stag party. | [

| Swamp Stompers! | The Itasca 8" Swampwalker Mini Boots are just what I wanted for scouting in the woods in areas of less than ideal accessibility. They came in handy to wear when I was hauling myDbest Two-Wheeled Collapsable Handcartfull of tasty treats to my bait pile in less than ideal weather. They are 'mini' in name only because they are one mighty comfortable pair of boots! Sturdy and well cushioned they made slogging through muddy areas a breeze. They were easy to hose off and are stored in a handy Sterilite Large Storage Container ready for the next season's scouting. I highly recommend them. ~ The Boss | [

| Destiny's Child: SWV and TLC you're not | Who are you trying to be Destiny's Child? Good question. They seem like they are trying to be a carbon copy of SWV, ( one of the members even looks like Lelee.) The groups debut album is seriously lyrically deprived. Their beats, from JD. and Master P, mind you, all sound the same as the beats these producers use for other artists. Two of the songs on the album have a part 2, as if to say "Gee we know the songs are not great so we better do a remix and call it part two. The dumb fans will never know." The Part 2's should have been saved for singles not albums. Couldn't they have come up with two other songs to add to the length of the album, instead of cheating the music buyers. Sorry girls, a cameo on a Master P. and Wynclef Jean song, and funky videos, does not make you singers. Songs without recycled beats and half-way decent lyrics do. | [

You can't imagine how crushed I was that this cd was missing three songs from the original album. "Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas", the sweet "When the River meets the sea" and the cruelest cut of all, it doesn't have "Little St. Nick". Don't buy it. Point your browser to the Cutout version instead, don't make the same mistake I did. | [

| Juwanna Mann | Jamal Jeffries is one basketball star who stirs up heat both on and off the court. This player's got game, girls and attitude to spare. But when one confrontation too many gets him booted out of the league, Jamal is gonna need a lot more than a good agent to get him back on the courts. He'll need brains, creative ball-handling and the right shade of lipstick. Jamal's only chance to get his game back is to join up with the other league--the women's basketball league. This is a great comedy, that will keep you laughing, it has a pretty good story too. I recommend Juwanna Mann. | [

| Terrible Battery Life, Low Quality Parts, But it Works | While there is little doubt that this collar will have your dog responding to the stimulus immediately, I don't think it is good value for the money. The battery lasted no more than a week and these are not cheap batteries to replace. The plastic buckle is cheap and easily breakable. There is no loop for a leash to attach so your dog will need to wear at least two collars if you are on a walk and want to use both leash and shock collar. My strong recommendation would be to spend a little more money and get a collar with a rechargeable battery and higher quality craftsmanship. | [

| Fantastic Book | This is an excellent book on mathematical statistics. Although the treatment is less mathematical than if it were written for engineers or mathematicians, the gist of the topics is clearly written and the format is easy to follow. It covers all major topics needed for a firm understanding of mathematical statistics, and is a good background to econometric theory. I must admit that I did not know who the author was prior to reading this book, but he is one of the more decent writers out there who uses the right amount of mathematics to get the point across. | [

| How disappointing. | I eagerly awaited Gail Greeno's next book after finishing the Ghatti's Tale Series. What a truly delightful read. Mind Snare was another story entirely. The characters didn't have the same resonance as the ones from Ghatti's Tale. I found little I had little empathy for Glynn and the relationship established between characters not very well supported.I kept reading the book hoping that it would pull through and at least have a satisfying ending. I found the use of modern references very distracting in the context of the story because it interrupted the content of what Ms. Greeno was aiming for. Only a truly die hard fan or collector should add this to their library. As for me, I'll keep re-reading the Ghatti's Tale and be enthralled again and again. | [

I bought one of this expensive products and it stopped working 6 months later. Cuisinart does offer a 3 year warranty in all their products, but they don't tell you that you have to go through the annoyance of shipping the product back to them at your own cost and you will also have to pay for the shipping cost if you want your new product back. They won't reimburse you for your time either, so if you earn money by the hour, add those losses to the cost of the appliance. That will be enough money to buy any other brand if I throw that one to the garbage. It's not worth it. | [

| No wonder I didn't like the Chicks! | Thanks to the other reviewers out here, I now realize why I didn't like the Dixie Chicks at first. It's this dad-blasted video!! Unfortunately, this video was my first exposure to the group and, at first, I didn't credit the horrible editing as the cause of my disappointment. I blamed the Chicks! However, I just bought the "Wide Open Spaces" CD the other day and realize now that the Dixie Chicks is what I'm about musically. My favorite bands are the Byrds, the Bangles and the Buffalo Springfield so the Chicks naturally vaulted to the top of my all-time favorite list. Got to go out now and buy the "other" video (the good one) and the other two CDs. Thanks to the Amazon reviewers for enlightening me on this. | [

| A bit boring for today's generation. | This video is full of great information, however, it is old. I found that my elementary students had a hard time being engaged by it. It starts out very slow, and my students had a hard time even giving it a chance from the get-go. | [

| Yummy bacon in minutes | This works very well. Over time the clear plastic pieces have warped slightly (possibly from dishwasher washing) but it still works. Cleanup is kind of annoying but I bet if I lined it with a piece of parchment paper or something it'd be a lot easier. Different cuts and thicknesses (and quantities) of bacon will require different cooking times, so do some experimentation until you find the setting that's right for you. | [

| A Great Book! | I can completely appreciate this story as my wife taught for many years before we had kids ourselves and I know how busy and hectic (and stressful) the times around the holidays became and how difficult it was for the teachers to actually teach during these times of year. This book captures all of this wonderfully and presents it in a fun to read way. My kids loved how Santa and his team come to the rescue to teachers and give them some needed relief. The book also was a wonderful testament to the dedication of teachers and all that they do to make our children's lives that much more meaningful! | [

| very depressing.... | This book was my book club's selection for the month. It was one month I wished I would have skipped. Where the book is well-written, the story itself is very sad. There is a saying...."don't judge a book by its cover"...The cover is very misleading. The lives of the elderly women are far from quaint lunches and a wild joy ride. For someone with an elderly relative with declining health and who knows the toll that it has on caregivers, this was too much realism. | [

| I Can Now See You! | Though I gulped at the total price (including shipping) they are so worth it! When I am on the water these make it possible to actually see whales in the distance instead of just fighting the shake/bounce from the boat movement and the waves. The light is excellent and you can roll down the eye cups for glasses. Unless you are really shaky on land, image stabilizers (I don't think) are necessary. But for being able to see when there is a lot of movement this binos are great. | [

| Unbelievable, disappointing, and at times horrifying... | The review by S. Thomas "sktca" in which she states the book was "Facile, unrealistic, silly" was right on! As she so succinctly points out the unrealistic storyline is at times horrifying to read. That this paragon of virtue Preacher Bruce could overlook and embrace Cyn's past was unbelievable at best and colossally unrealistic at worst. And since the previous review underlines my exact thoughts on this book I won't repeat. However, I too put this book down MANY times in disgust and in fact read several other books in between sessions and only finished this one out of desperation until I could get to the library. What a disappointing waste of time that I won't ever get back... | [

| Excellent MP3 Player at a Great Value | I started out with a cheap USB-built-in MP3 player but quickly switched to the SanDisk Sansa c240 - which was a great deal. I quickly fell in love with the Sansa brand and as soon as I saw this go on sale I snatched one up. It's got a great interface and it's designed for use with Rhapsody - a major plus.Pros:- Simple, easy-to-use interface- Great look- FM Tuner- Voice recorder- Rhapsody- Video capability (minimal as it is)- Expandability (via MicroSD)- Pricetag (when on sale and on Amazon)Cons:- Small amount of storage (though ample for the average person)- No way to charge without connecting to a computerAnd that's about it for the cons.Next I'm getting a Sansa View...eventually. | [

| Nice features but bad sound | I didn't really need a new cordless phone, but I was excited by all of the cool features so I bought it anyway. I got it all set up, but when I tried it, it sounded "scratchy" on my end and also to everyone I spoke to. I had to return it. Too bad. It is a really cool phone. I didn't want to try another one because it is such a hassle to buy and return, buy and return... | [

| Ho-hum bios make one-great book run-of-the-mill | There is a voluminous amount of sources for information on fantasy league baseball available to fans, especially with the advent of the Internet. What used to set Rotisserie League Baseball apart from the rest was the irreverent, witty bios on the players. It was the closest thing to laugh-out-loud literature one could find on the National Pastime.Alas, someone must have approached the authors and told them that the book needed to be more serious in light of previously said sources. The result is a bland concoction of stale statistics and rookie projections. Given the fact that a book needs more time to publish than does a magazine, it is rendered irrelevant.Said to say, I believe I've purchased my last edition of Rotisserie League Baseball. | [

| Good if you plan on using it for one year, tops! | ...because after two to three years, the rubber tubing connecting the dial to the cuff will completely dry out, harden, and crack...rendering everything other than the stethoscope garbage. Apparently, LifeSource used two different grades of tubing.It was used reliably for a few months then it was tucked away in my closet. Two years later, I looked in the bag and I was shocked to find multiple pieces of brittle tubing. Check out the photos that I uploaded. | [

| very painful read | this book is very very boring. The humor it uses is very geeky. I hate professors especially when they write books. The text trying to explain concepts using outdated dorky humor, so if you want to understand the concepts you have to understand the stupid humor that the professor uses. Do not use the same humor on your friends if you dont want them to look at you dumb like you done lost your mind. So far, I did not get anything out of this book, other than wasting my time trying to read it. | [

| Not exactly their best work........ | I've been listening to Deicide for some time now and I think that some of their most mind-blowing CD's are In Torment In Hell and Legion. When I first heard that Scars of the Crucifix had came out, I was eager to get it. After listening to the first few tracks, I got bored. Being a musician myself, I felt the music was good but the songs didn't cause any reaction from me. Most songs sounded similar and the CD got boring awfully fast. I would recommend this CD to hardcore Deicide fans and for people starting to listen to death metal, I would recommend stuff like Darkthrone, Necrophagist, Psycroptic, Abigor, etc. | [

| Advertised as Like New - Wasn't. Took 4 Weeks to Get | It took 4 weeks to receive the book from the time I ordered it- almost too late to get it before my trip departure date. The shipping label appeared to defective and maybe that was the problem in the delivery time. Also, the book was missing the tear out map and many pages contained someone's underlining. That isn't a big deal but it wasn't described that way. | [

| Wish I had listened to earlier reviews | My soon is Harry Potter crazy. So....I thought this is Mattel, it will be fine. Some of the reviews I read were negative, a few positive and I assumed the negative reviewers were just expecting too much for the money, as it is not an expensive item. When it arrived I was so disappointed. Its basically a carry case/storage box. It has one of the little characters and doesn't really even have enough features to support imaginative play. My son uses it to store his Harry Potter lego now and just gets it out when the Knight bus part of his dvd is on. Its probably better to spend a little more on a different product as you just end up trying to track down items to make it more usuable. In terms of the seller, I didnt have any problems there and it came really quickly. | [

| Getting worse as the years progress...... | Although I enjoyed listening to Notorious KIM and Hardcore for a while, I don't really enjoy listening to this one. Her songs on this album don't reflect any originality nor any new recently-covered ground. The subject matter is much the same as in her previous album. And also, I'm so sick of listening to Lil'Kim bash Foxy Brown in her songs!! She needs to get over the fact that Foxy Brown is better and to just admit it. In conclusion, if you currently don't own any Lil Kim albums, you might as well just buy her debut "Hardcore" album because it represents Lil Kim when she first started out and it shows what little spec of creativity she might have had...even then. | [

| Haunting glimpses into lives of immigrant's families | I loved this book and found it immensely readable. The writing carried you along without you wanting to stop. I have met many Asian immigrants and read many Asian immigrants books, but this is the most stark and informative in it's revelations of what it can be like for such children and their families encountering a different and sometimes unwelcoming USA culture. I do hope this author continues to write as she is a superb and unforgettable storyteller. | [

| A tight fit | This item looks identical the original battery (except it has orange release tabs instead of Grey). That being said the fit is a little different. The battery releases easily from the cordless drill but is very difficult to release from the flashlight. I bought two of these batteries and can't get either of them to release easily. To get it out I have to push in the tabs and twist and pull the battery. Not a big deal. Overall the initial charge worked great. It remains to be seen if the battery will sustain its charges but so far so good. | [

| Depends on what you want it for | I got this when I was driving a truck across country, but I was working for a jump-seat operation and was never in the same truck twice. I was looking for one I could easily take with me to the next truck, but this thing is simply underpowered. I still have not been able to get it to talk out more than a truck length, and the whole reason I needed it was for communicating with the dispatch office at warehouses to know when to get my paperwork.I will give it this much though, when it does work it sounds very clear, and it is extremely mobile. It's just not very long range. | [

| Hardware Is Not Hard Wearing | I bought this cd player because it has the am/fm receiver, remote, and anti-skip function. I also bought the jogger belt separately from the Manufacturer. I used it for the first time today. At the gym, on the treadmill, the cd skipped while jogging. There's nothing special about the remote and the jogger belt proved to be too bulky when doing other stuff at the gym. The radio did not work in the gym (the gym is under a train station though). Additionally, for some unknown reason, the volume, at its highest, was actually quiet. I would only recommend the product along with the jogger belt to a walker who likes music played at an average volume. | [
