| i love it | i really have a hard time agreeing with those who are rating this as ONE star. i think this album is fantastic.. and i like to see them evolve. you can't expect a band, or an artist of any sort, to remain the same throughout their careers.yes, it's different than previous albums, but equally unique and an equally great listen. i've actually listened to it 3 times today at work. Sia is incredible on it.. worth buying just for her.i would highly recommend this album | [

| Fun book... | I liked this book. Although, I must say, it wasn't my favorite in the series. I liked how well you get to know the characters. The only con I would say is that Stephenie Meyers can tend to drag a book on for a really long time and only portions of the book will keep you gripped. But, I liked it well enough to opt to read the whole series. | [

It's not a novel but more of a documentary. I liked the way this book apporaches the world of boating. So aslong as you like boats this is the book for you. | [

| Buy it. | Debbi Mack has written a satisfying suspense novel that introduces Sam McRae as a hero worth following. I haven't yet read her next adventure,Least Wanted, but I will, and I encourage all who read this to do the same. Sam is a workhorse, a former lawyer and now PI who is simultaneously working on her own identity theft issues as she helps her client with a murder investigation. This is a book with many plot twists, including a big one at the ending. I never felt it took advantage of me with convenient solutions or contrived problems, like many of this genre do. Tightly written and good fun. | [

| Not his best, but still good | I have to say this isn't Tiesto's best work but it still is a decent CD. Although the opening track is absolutely amazing. It begins with a an orchestrated bit that resembles the score of Braveheart or some other epic movie. At about 3 1/2 minutes into the song it morphs into an incredible progressive trance beat and keeps getting better until the end. After that, the rest of the CD just goes downhill, until the amazing finish which is Adagio for Strings. | [

| No warranty support. Terrible product. | The product worked OK for the few times that I used it. I did not use it for a couple of months and then the unit would not charge. I called the company's costumer support (they insist on only contacting them via email) and they said that the product will die if not kept charged for 3 months or more. They would not support the product as they only cover "manufacture defect." I've had many similar Li-ion batteries from other companies and never had them permanently die if you don't keep them always charged. I would keep away from this manufacturer from now on. | [

| ++++++ stars this cd ROCKS! | when i heard the first single off of the punisher soundtrack i was like holy sh-t these guys are back in a big way the punisher song was censored but this one is not on the cd. this cd from start to finish grabs you buy the throat and doesn't let go until you sing or shout all of the choruses to each song i haven't stopped listing o the cd it is awesome. the new singer sounds like the old man they are so similar but the new singer is awesome i don't know what he's doing in the studio to make his voice sound so powerful but he has a strong a-- voice. all i got to say is pick up this album and crank it loud and proud and YOU TO WILL BE be singing "WHAT WHO WHERE WERE YOU?

| set your world on fire | this is great cd to give you the overall feel on jane's solo career. I really love some of the older cuts such as "blue kiss" which is sorta a classic to some people who love light headed fun pop. Of course you have rush hour which is so catchy and bouncy...i still remember the video with jane swimming among the dolphins. the dance clubesque song of the factory is a miss that should have hit big...hopefully this song will eventually be discovered for the great dance beat and ethereal feel to it. Anyway give this cd a spin...jane sounds like a little pixie...you just want to wave your wand over her and make her sing in her wispy way! | [

| Good Value Receiver | I used Consumer Reports rating to select this unit in addition to online reviews by others. According to CR, the "useability" was rated above average and I do think it is better than my previous Sony - which had 40+ buttons on the front. This has less buttons and is easier to decipher. The remote is also much better than Sony's. It does take a bit to master the sequence of buttons, but I was able to program it to control my Philips DVD and Sony TV & VCR so 1 remote on the couch is great!Sound it good although I have a very basic set of speakers I plan to upgrade soon. Set up was easy - everything is well labeled. Manual was pretty good too. | [

| This is a bad CD, avoid it. It's from her early years. | This is a bad CD. There are 2 songs on it. OH MY!!! ( Edit MIx) and OH MY!!! (Disco Mix). They are unbearable to listen to. They were written and produced by Otto Von Wernherr mostly. These CD is from the early years before 1983 when she became famous. I'm sure if Madonna had any say in writing or producing the CD it would have been a lot better. | [

| Poor Design | I wish I had paid more attention to the one and two star reviews regarding this product. Yes, it's a beautiful stainless steel look, but good design it is NOT! The holder is so rigid you have to cram the roll into place, which ends up mangling the cardboard, creating a very off balance situation. Because of this, one has to really pull at the paper towel, many times causing it to rip just a small piece off at a time. The holder was only $16 bucks so it's not worth returning, and I'm actually still using it (I'm lazy, okay?), but trust me - this is very bad design and not worth the hassle. | [

| Cum-see-cum-sa (OK) | Thisw game is extreamly funny the first time you play. But once you get used to it they say the same things and they become less and less funny.

You probbably want to reant this first 'cause if you buy it, you will get about a weaks fun out of it. But if you really want to play an arcade style racer, get crazi taxi. Thank you. | [

| Terrible experience | This software is the worst I ever had! When I try to install the software, I had entered a wrong option & try to get back to the last page and correct my mistake. Turn out, it hung my session & I have to power off my computer. Then after I re-logoned, the software continue & completed the installation. Then my nightmare begin. Everytime, I turn on my computer, within 3 minutes, my whole computer will be hung & got no response. Trying to uninstall the software, & there is no entry exists on Add/remove program on control panel. Then trying to contact CA support, they said I can only login with the id that is provided when the installation is completed. Since I never successfully install at the first time, I never got the id to log in CA suppost web site. Of course, I can spend $29.99 for a call on the phone line support, but I decided I will reformat my computer & never use another CA product again! | [

| Ireland For The First Time Traveler | My initial interest in the book was sparked by the subtitle - Be A Traveler-Not A Tourist. I was planning our first trip to Ireland and purchased four books on the Emerald Isle. As I proceeded in my planning, I found that I did not need the other three, as I found all of the information I needed in Mr. McQuillan's book. He provides extensive information about Ireland in general, its history, accomodations, well known and little known tourist sites and places of interest, even directions on how to proceed from one area to another whether it be by bike, bus or car. The book is very well written and easy to understand. I made all of our plans for accomodations and travel based on Mr. McQuillan's recommendations and we had an absolutely wonderful time! A must have for anyone planning to travel to Ireland for the first time or the fifth! | [

Get it, throw it in the player, let the music wash over you. Then, dig out the lyric sheet and play it again. There is many levels to some of the songs... what does "six broken soldiers" mean, anyway? mmmmm | [

| Please Stop Giving This Man Money | People say "Don't take this film too seriously" - like it's meant to be a comedy. The only funny thing about this movie is how bad it is. Bad characters (is it possible to have less than 1 dimension?). Stupid plot. Excrable dialog. Totally unoriginal design. Perhaps the worst movie since Emmerich's last one (the equally idiotic "StarGate"). He just keeps coming back for helping after helping of stale cliche. After writing this he must have still had the other side of the cigarette paper left for "Godzilla".Big explosions. That's all. They may as well have called it "Things Exploding" - at least no-one would have felt shortchanged.Tip for future civilisations: Build cities out of palm trees. They seem to survive anything. | [

| Nowadays, this is pure B-comedy! | The first one in the series of (so far?) seven Halloween movies probably was a superbly scary thriller-horror movie in 1978 - but for today's public, it rather appears as a comedy.There is barely any blood in it, and Michael Myers is easy to knock down (even though he doesn't die, of course...) by a young Jamie Lee Curtis who, by the way, look like herself, she only had longer hair and a smaller behind back then.The real surprise in fact comes in the beginning of the movie where we see who Michael Myers really is! | [

I would have to agree that from the book most of the clipart contained in this set is cartoonish, but my worst complaint is that I just couldn't install it. On install all you'll get is a window stating you don't have enough RAM and fail to continue.Nova Development software support wasn't any help either. They were VERY familiar with the problem and the tech made it clear that a fix would NOT be coming out anytime in the near future.

| Lackluster product. Lousy packaging. | The sound quality is okay; there seems to be some static in the headphone speakers that I have not been able to isolate. I'm not sure if this is poor connections or just cheap components. I'm told the mic is crystal clear by people on the other side of video chats.My single biggest complaint is the packaging. Hard plastic, sonic-welded packaging is really hard to open without damaging one's hands. There is an easy-open flap on the back side, but this allows access only to the backing card and you still need to somehow cut everything else out. In spite of solid (and freshly sharpened) shears, I still managed to lacerate my hand on the package.5 stars; -1 for static in the phones, -2 for bad packaging. | [

A grand experiment which mostly failed. Needed a rigorous editing job and someone to say "no" to the excesses which wreck it. The live versions of these songs on other Dead albums, recorded during the same time period, are far superior. | [

| Disappointed! | Okay, now anyone who reads V.C. Anndrews' novels knows that there are always 5 books! With 5 books you get the explanation of how the whole mess started in the first place. As far as I can tell there is no plan for the 5th book. But that is not the only reason I am giving this book a low rating. The other is that it was the worst one in the whole series, which was unimpressive to begin with. But the bad thing about a series is that once you begin them you just have to finish-if you know what I mean. The main character for End of the Rainbow, Summer is not one that you can fall into, and is very unbelievable and one dimensional. The plot is boring. This book is written in V.C. Andrews form but it has none of her style. I suggest if you want to read V.C. Andrews, read V.C. Andrews, and not a ghost writter who can't fill her shoes! | [

| WASTE OF MONEY | When it came in the mail, I put the batteries in and turned it on. It wasn't very bright; only good for very dark rooms. My cat liked it, but the batteries died in less than five minutes. Complete waste of money... | [

| Leaks like a sieve | I bought this steam generator iron after a family member had a great experience with an earlier model. I followed all the directions carefully. It leaks water and spits water almost constantly. Rowenta customer service acknowledges the issue but has offered no solutions. This is a known problem with this model. I am out big bucks and will never purchase another Rowenta steam generator again. From what I was told by the Representative, this model is made in China. The newer models are made (again) in Germany and do not have the same issues. | [

| A Very Good Book | This review concerns the original 1928 edition. Chet and Biff take Biff's new motorboat, the Envoy, on a trip down the coast, but when they fail to return, Frank and Joe try to find their missing chums. The book is slow to start and it isn't until chapter 11 that it really starts to get interesting; however, from that point on, this book probably has one of the best endings of any in the series with lots of suspence and excitement. Unfortunately, as with the previous volume, at the end of the book, the criminals are caught without much of an incident which detracts from an otherwise terrific ending | [

| Good thing I can trade this thing in�. | After I finished this book (which didn't take long) I resolved that this was the LAST one I was ever going to waste my money on. I've put up with these new Dune books, knowing they were mediocre and enjoying them as a guilty pleasure but this one is the last straw. Frank Herbert's characters had intricacies yet they were unknowable, mysterious, but these people in the Butlerian Jihad are a bore; heroes and damsels in distress that are as flat and boring as the paper they are written on. The imagery reeks of concepts lifted straight from Star Wars (AT-ATs anyone?) and plot holes. How could the Guild wield so much power in the future if space travel seemed just as convenient before the Spice? This book should have been a mythological juggernaut, but it's just a pulp bore. And to add insult to injury, not only does it not dish up half of what the book jacket promises but it ends on a cliffhanger so they can sell us more books. No thanks, guys. | [

| This book has nothing about sea kayaking, lakes or riffles. | I purchased this book based on the promise of itstitle, a promise not kept. The book is almostwholly about white-water kayaking, ignoring mymain interest, lakes, ocean, lagoons, and simplerivers without complicated white-water rapids.The book title includes the word "complete"and the book is far from that. It also limitsitself mostly to one-man kayaks, little helpfulabout how to select a kayak to buy.-Jon Claerbout | [

| Manfrotto 785B tripod - Good tripod for travelling | This little tripod is great for traveling. I mounted my D200 + 17-55mm lens on it was quite stable. The only bad thing is the non-removable head. Then again what do you expect for a $80 dollar product. It beats carrying a 6lbs (with head) tripod when you go on a trip...To increase the stability, just hang some weights on the tripod and that should do the job. | [

| GRTSTUF! | Square in the Face by April Henry is the second in the Claire Montrose mysteries. It's a heart grabber when Claire starts looking for a matching marrow donor for an old friend's dying son. In the meantime Claire's mother is buying everything her new best friends on TV's home shopping network are selling. Lots of family secrets! This is a wonderful story with terrific characters. I loved Charlie, Claire's roommate. It is fun watching Claire rediscover her family, too. Humor, a little love interest, lots of intrigue, and some sad history, too. As with any mystery, the 'bad guys' leave their mark but our Claire is not going to let them get away with it. This is a strong follow-up to Henry's first book, Circles of Confusion, and moves this series onto my 'must buy' list. April Henry is a sharp young writer with ever-increasing skills, a superb imagination, and the wit to use them well. | [

| Good idea but Unsatisfying in the end | There are other reviews here which describe the plot, so I won't repeat it. I found this a disappointing and unsatisfying film, for two reasons. First, I just didn't identify or empathise with the characters - I found them rather immature. Second, there are many unexplained things in the film, like who is interviewing them after their affair is over, and why. Also, why do they both place ads for a casual sex hookup, when they are both clearly sensitive people, not sex addict types? The atmosphere is very sad and melancholic, with no happy ending (but that's no bad thing). It's a great idea, exploring modern society where sex is easy to get but love is hard to find, but somehow this film is too swamped in melancholia, and the characters are too teenagerish, to make its point well. A shame. I know some people love it, but I didn't. | [

| Is there a rating lower than 1 star?? | A complete waste of time. This is an incomprehensible non-movie about a bunch of low-life sado-masochists.The camera work, done with a single hand held camera will make you dizzy as will the incompetent editing. There's no plot that I could keep track of. I consider myself to be reasonably intelligent. If I don't "get it," and I don't, the problem isn't with me.The make-up effects are laughable. I think they used red nail polish to simulate blood. Even ketchup would have worked better.An even better choice would be to skip this waste of time entirely. How do movies this bad ever get produced? It's a mystery... | [

| Make the trend your friend - Zwiegs system works | Very simply this system is all about following the trend and followin interest rates.In 2000, when Allen Greenspan was raising interest rates that identified a sell signal. When interest rates go up, stocks go down.Zwieg is not a "buy and hold" man. His system works. I've been following it since 1989 when I bought this book along with Winning with New IRAs and Wealth without Risk. To wit I caught the big stock market boom in late 1990 through 1991 and again in 1995-1996 and in 1998-2000.I also missed the selloffs in late 1989-1990, 1994-1995, and 2000.The Zweig system works. Try it, you'll love it. | [

| Works, kinda | I am not an egg fan, but I make hard boiled eggs for my famous potato salad and deviled eggs. I was hoping this gadget would simplify the process and give me some hands-off cooking time to prep other ingredients.This thing is awful! It leaks water everywhere and doesn't hard boil them all the way.So what I have to do to make it work is put more water in to compensate for the water loss and set the whole thing on a towel.Also, the tray gets kinda crusty. I wipe it down after each use and it's a bunch of black stuff that comes off. I think that's odd; it's just boiling water.So I'm back to boiling on the stove. | [

| Zero Tech Suppot | I bought this item 5 months ago. I followed the instructions on the included "Quick Start" card regarding the battery, which was to top it off every week if not using it. The battery now lasts 4 minutes. When I went to write INOi the FIRST time, I opened the pdf version of that card that was on the disk to include the erroneous instructions. Guess what, they are not on that version. I've written to INOi twice and they have not answered, I can't find a battery for it anywhere. I now have a $150 piece of junk - other firms market this type of device - look elsewhere. | [

| Blu-Ray Incorrect Aspect Ratio and Cropped | This is one of my most disappointing blu-ray purchases ever. As you can readily see from multiple sources, this film was shot 1.37:1, or "full frame" in 1953. It should NEVER be shown in 1.78:1 widescreen as it is on this blu-ray, because that requires cropping material from the top and/or bottom of the image (as you can readily see from the bonus materials, which were shot years ago and contain footage in the correct aspect ratio). It also means the image is magnified and exhibits huge amounts of film grain that result in a very soft image in many shots. Frankly, it's hard for a film instructor to believe a major studio would violate a film in this way. If you don't want to see the top of John Wayne's hat or people's legs everytime you're supposed to, go ahead and buy this blu-ray. Otherwise, seek out the excellent previous DVD release. The bonus features are the same and the image is all there. | [

| Caution: May be hard on shoulder | Because push-ups with hands flat on the ground bother my elbows, I bought Perfect Pushup. I felt fine while doing the pushups with these things but, after a few weeks, began to develop pain in my right shoulder. After no success with physical therapy and NSAIDS, MRI showed a SLAP tear. I now need surgery to repair my shoulder. While I cannot prove that Perfect Pushup caused the injury to my shoulder, the timing raises the possibility and I thought it was worth sharing and cautioning others. | [

| If I could have, I would have rated this movie a -5 stars. | Totally unbelievable from the start. The era was supposed tohave been before the first three episodes and yet the robotics weremore advanced and prevalent in this movie than in the former three movies. And what is with their stupid "roger roger" response to everything. The movie is superficial and lackluster, with none of the depth and sheer enjoyment of the former three. I had looked forward with great anticipation to seeing it, only to be extremely irritated. I almost walked out of the theatre halfway through it. I will buy this on dvd, when it comes out, because I plan to have all of the series as a collection, and I don't want to be missing part of it. Other than for that reason, I would not buy it. | [

| It not fits your ear perfectly | I use this mic in paintball games and it works fine, but it not fits your ear perfectly until you put your mask, because the mask presses the mic against your ear. As I don't know a good VOX throat mic for Motorola, this is still the best VOX mic option for Motorola radios.The only problem is the delay between the time you start speaking and the time the radio starts the transmission (about 2 secs), when you are using the feature that does not require you to push a button to talk. So you must start talking anything like "ahhhhh" and then speaks. But this delay is not particular for this mic model, it happens in all radios and mics. I also have a Midland Mic and Radio and the same problem occurs. But after 2 games you get used to it. | [

| Good Animation Cam | I wanted to do a claymation video, and on TV anything more than 640x480 is wasted. This camera has a feature that no other one in its class can match: a macro setting for extreme close ups. It has a standard tripod screw mount on the bottom.The only drawback is the interface. You address this little beast as a TWAIN device, like a scanner. That limits the software than can read from it, and the included software is only OK. | [
