Hardly any gaps
|
If his most critically concise work can also be cited as his worst, Reznor can do no wrong. At this point there were just too many factions to appease but make no mistake, the studio wizard reigns supreme, merging straightforward industrial radio-ready rock with seamless production the likes few mainstream artists today get away with both critics and audiences simultaneously appreciating.

Excellent

Probably the best book ever written on Feng shui, since the very design of it follows the principles of Feng Shui design - why hasn't anyone else ever thought of it? The author succeeded in putting across the principles , giving very practical tips and with creative flair.I loved it

Bad decision to order this McCulloch
|
I ordered the McCulloch Mcc1635A 16 inch chain saw because McCulloch was at one time a great product, but I was unable to start it even one time. Called in to find out where I could take it and took it into the autorized dealer and was informed that it was an older model and they could not find the part needed. Now what do I do with this saw, as this is an item that cannot be returned to Amazon?????????????????????? Help is needed.

Very poor quality
|
I had the same problem as a previous reviewer, the key is stuck in the lock (1st day using the safe). Even the most primitive QA process in the factory would have caught this. There's no excuse for this kind of thing, it's going back to Amazon.

A good buy for Sedaris fans, but mostly available elsewhere
|
I love David Sedaris. I think his writing is very funny, very touching and very entertaining. I go to see Sedaris speak when he's on tour and I read short pieces he's written for The New Yorker and Esquire online. In fact, I've already read many of the stories in this book (which was somewhat disappointing). "Rooster at the Hitching Post" and several other have been printed elsewhere and you can read them online if you don't want to buy this book. I will say, though, there are plenty of new stories in here that make the book well worth it. Just don't be too surprised if you come across something you've read before.

Interesting Premise, Disappointing Story
|
After hearing so many great things about this book, my expectations had been high. It seemed an intriguing idea: a story told from the perspective of a young girl who had been murdered and could watch what becomes of her murderer and family while in heaven. I agree with the other review that it was off to a very good start. It was a fast page turner throughout the book. However the events in the last few chapters of the book were rather silly, especially what becomes of the murderer. It was a great idea for a story, but the story didn't turn out to be as great as the idea.

Why Did So Many People Love This Film So Much?
|
Okay,im gonna get straight to my tagline for this.The first original GINGER SNAPS is definitely the only good one off the trilogy.GINGER SNAPS BACK UNLEASED I thought was pretty weak and weird.GINGER SNAPS THE BEGINNING is just very odd and doesnt really make up with logic.Obviously this isnt Ginger and Bridgett from the other 2 films but they just happen to have the same name,look exactly the same,and bottom line its just a very odd approach to the series.I dont really understand why they would take the series this way.Its pretty bizarre.Other than that,the werewolves look the best in this one of the three films,and the storyline is pretty solid.I guess I would like this movie if I never saw the very first Ginger Snaps.I kinda like it,but in my opinion its not Ginger Snaps.

Father and Son
|
In todays world of soccer moms and overzealous little league dads, here is a touching narrative from a father who "gets it".Pete Nelson was a hard working , blue collar dad who watched his son become the best college basketball player in the land and then a budding star in the NBA.The book also gives a perspective of how an entire community (in this case Chester Pa.) plays a role in the formulation of great kids.The author (recently deseased) gave us, through his story, a blueprint for raising motivated successful kids.

I'd rather fully digest a fried cat in a savory butter herb sauce, than listen to this garbage. Fall Out Boy is a discrace to all of music. Beethoven is rolling over in his grave as we speak. Just give up music guys and maybe go into the field of teaching music. Wait, but that won't be good because then there would be even more people that sound like you, and we wouldn't want that now would we.

Beware of Seller
|
I ordered this book mid-April for Mother's Day. It did not arrive at the estimated time. I waited another week then contacted the dealer. They said I needed to wait the maximum shipping time before they could resolve the issue. It still did not arrive so I contacted them again and they stated that they would send the book now. I waited again and it still didn't arrive so I sent another email. Amazon has issued a refund because the seller now says that the book is apparently out of stock. I feel they should have said that from the beginning.

How do I pronounce "hijos"?
|
I picked this book solely because it was an Oxford dictionary which I used to equate with quality and concise definitions and guides to pronounciations BUT NO SUCH LUCK HERE! Not only did I want a dictionary that would be easy to read, I needed a dictionary that would give me clues as to how to PRONOUNCE the actual new words that I came across!! Spanish has many special rules for pronouncing and it is easy to sound like an idiot when you end up pronouncing 'Hijos' as "hi-jay-os'! Save your money on this pocket change piece of 'garaje' and find another dictionary that will help you pronounce properly as well as learn the language!!

How did this win any awards, did someone get paid off?
|
Masterpiece this is not.This is one of the worst movies I have ever watched. It never gets any better from the very beginning to the horrible end. How "No Country for Old Men" ever won awards -- I'll never know.Maybe the people who select the winner, didn't actually watch the movie. Do not waste your time buying, renting or watching this movie. It was one of those movies you'll kick yourself for watching. (Someone told us it was the best movies they had ever seen, I think they were trying to punish us because they watched it too.)It is Bad - Bad - Bad. I still love Tommy Lee Jones, and the other actors in this movie, they just accepted a bad part to play.

Definitely not your typical romantic comedy!
|
Love & Sex is a movie that follows a late twenties to early thirties woman through the perils and hazards of sex, dating, breaking up, and being alone. Kate Wells narrates the story of her many affairs, mostly through flashback. This is a touching, if unconventional, romantic comedy, which, I believe, is funny enough that even men will enjoy it. Jon Favreau fans will love it!

Fantastique!!!!
|
Unspeakably wonderful! It's a combination of pop music and the drama of Sheakespeare's tragedy! It doesn't get better than this! I'm a little partial to French after taking two terms of it in college. If you, like me, were discouraged with French music because of the concept album of Les Miserables, don't worry about it. Romeo et Juliette is much easier to understand and translate. And DO translate it! The lyrics are some of the most poetic I've ever heard. While I wish it could be found in English so my family and friends could get as much out of it as I do, there's just nothing that equals Frere Laurent's agonizing "Mais l'encre des Evangiles dans mon couer est seche" ("The ink of the Apostles is dried on my heart") in French. It just isn't the same in English. Neither is "Pour nous, la vie est facile, mais le bonheur est fragile" (For us life is easy, but our happiness is fragile"). French musicals are movin' on up!

The raised area in the front helps keep everything going in the right direction for little boys (and girls) who sit down to learn. It fits well on the toilet when adjusted (which is very easy to do).

Not a Beevor classic, but still very commendable
|
I've now read four of Anthony Beevor's books and I liked them all. This may be the weakest, although it is not by any standards a dud. I just felt that it wasn't as "human" as the others. But for an overview of the prelude to WWII, which Spain surely was, it is informative and clear.

One of the best

Morgan does an excellent job in the area of historical fiction of the precedents for the Irish hatred of the British. It is a book you will not put down. It is factual and written with clarity, intensity and a sense of the sustained futility of the hopelessness of the Prince's band. Her knowledge of the times, the issues, and the terrain are substantiated by the facts that she walked the entire trek. She is an American writer now residing in Ireland . Our loss , the Irish gain. Water seeks it own level.

Excellent - They get better

Another exciting Rowan Grant mystery. This time he is rattled by a religious serial killer who believes he is ridding the world of evil by killing the Witches of St Louis. The book is a little more graphic than the previous book and it still has the obsessive descriptions of his wife's hair colour, but the story is strong and a reader can easily overlook all that. Like the first book I kept reading to the end even at the expense of other more productive things I should have been doing. I liked the fact that the ending was not so neat and tidy and most mystery thrillers. Rowan gets more human in this book, which added to his character. HIs wife was not really in this story at all.Another great pagan fiction book

a great keyboard
|
I am in error prone typist. Because of the design of this keyboard and variable key sizes that appear to be geared towards making typing easier, my results have had much less errors then using a normal keyboard.Moreover, the design is much easier on my wrists.Some reviewers have complained about the space bar pressure and that of other keys. But, the reality is that after a few days of normal use you become used to the keyboard and I am very happy with its feel and feedback. The rewards are much less typing errors.

disappointing in every way
|
Magazine images of Bilhuber's designs have always taken my breath away, so when I saw this book, I quickly jumped at the chance to buy it. What a mistake! Not only are the images fuzzy, the text is almost useless. Bilhuber never gives the reader any useful suggestions or tips as to why he picked any particular item for each room. He doesn't help the reader "see" the thinking beyond the room and there were no design principles or bits of advice I could come away with. I feel cheated because I wanted the book to do what it promised and offer "expert solutions for designing the house of your dreams." Extremely disappointing and a waste of money.

A let-down, given the raves received.
|
The writing was uninspiring and demonstrated the author's complete obsession with sex. Graphic depictions of sex acts among characters with whom the reader does not identify did not serve to enhance the plot, but managed only to divert attention from the more appealing elements of the narrative - descriptions of the historical society of the Aztecs and the Spanish conquerers. The review of Stuart Mirsky (please read above) is accurate.

Poorly Researched
|
As to the three main points that sustain this movie.First, I am familiar with terminal illness and how it is diagnosed in a medical setting. This movie unfortunately presents a dishonest view on patient diagnosis and subsequent treatment for a potential end of life illness. The specifics and testing procedures are not done as shown in the movie and are far more thorough. To suggest that diagnosis of terminal illness is commonly mistaken or to suggest that God sends miracles to a chosen few is an affront to all who deal with life ending illness.Second, to suggest that the vehicle by which God sends miracles is through a few drops of something on a building (or any other artifact) does a disservice to the core values and essence of any religion.Third, on the positive side the movie does do a respectable job of portraying rational thought in conflict with irrational belief.

exactly what i wanted
|
I've been waiting to upgrade my Siemens S40 phone for quite some time. I have a friend who has the first version of the MPx220 and even though there were software problems he still loved the phone. When the MPx220 was reintroduced with the new software, i purchased the phone. I've had it for a couple of weeks now and love it. Syncing (I just downloaded the latest Microsoft ActiveSync 3.8) with Outlook has resulted in no problems at all. The ringer volume is not a problem but it did take about a week to adjust to the headset volume which isn't as loud as it was on my old phone. I think part of it has to do w/ the phone design (you have to offset the phone from your ear to hear better).As for the bad, I haven't done too much w/ pictures, but the few that i did take were not that impressive.If you are looking for a smartphone, I'd definitely recommend checking out the mpx220.

Initially Good Range. HORRIBLE SUPPORT! Now it doesn't work

When I first received my wireless barricade in 12/01 I was wowwed by the range and ease of initial setup. However, as I try to do more complex things such as turn on WEP security, MAC address control and opening specific ports to let outside programs reach me, things work half way or not at all. When I try to reset everything to get simple wireless connection it doesn't work. It is probably my ignorance but how will I know since I get no email response or phone response.Can you say good product. Company unable/willing/ready to support product. I can say buy something else!!!You'll get better support from an athletic supporter!THINK THREE TIMES BEFORE BUYING. WAIT UNTIL USERS REPORT BETTER SUPPORT!!!

Uncomfortable, poor sound quality
|
I've used a number of headsets through the years, and this one is a big let down. It's not very comfortable (most headset aren't). An even bigger problem is the ease of use and sound quality. DECT 6.0 is supposed to provide excellent sound quality, unfortunately that is not the case with this headset. When I talk I can hear myself echo. I've adjusted all the settings and the echo will not go away. The echo is also "distorted" which makes it really hard to concentrate while talking.Another problem is the ear piece does not seat well with the base station. You have to fumble with it to make a good connection.Pros:Nice looking design.Earpiece is light.Cons:Uncomfortable.Poor sound quality.Echo! Echo!Earpiece and base to not match up well making it hard to charge.Too many setting switches to maintain.

not about hope, about politics
|
Okay, I wanted to read this book because of the recent campaigns...I thought it would help me clue in to the man himself. And it does, he is a genuine man with a lot of heartfelt motives. But to be honest, he's better at speeches. I closed this book before I finished the first chapter and stacked it away on a shelf. It would be great for a person who is completely aware of political agendas, history, current events. For me, no thrill here, none at all. A lot of name dropping, names I didn't have a clue about, and a lot of political ramble that truly went in one ear and out the other. So if politics is your thing then this is your book but, I prefer an interesting read. Can't waste my time in that one.

Impressive debut
|
I picked this up on a recommendation of a friend.I wasn't quite sure what to expect.An autobiography of an average guy, why would I care? Well, I was in for a surprise, as I couldn't put down "Joe Public". What turns this life account of supposedly average guy into a really interesting read are two main things.The first and most important is humor. The book is simply hilarious at times. That doesn't mean it lacks seriousness or depth, but at all times S.J.Smith mantains a humorous undertone.Probably lifesaving, if you write about yourself.The second thing is his surprisingly (for a debut!) assured style of writing.Casual yet elegant, varied but always flowing.To conclude: definitely recommended!

Could be Way better.. soo sad for those who love tag team wrestling

Where do I begin with what I think is quite possibly the worst WWE dvd ever. WWE has been MIA in the tag team department for years and I really was hoping that they would put out a DVD devoted to the tag teams for those of us who love tag team action ever now and then.Well the day finally came, and I am very disappointed. This DVD is not only so unorganized that it bounces you from one era to the next.. but the lack of respect the tag teams are given.. I mean 1-2 minutes background on some of the teams? I don't know what else to say.. WWE dropped the ball here and I wouldn't waste money on this dvd.this dvd doesn't even deserve a review..

This album is an absolute shocker and Blur realised it. This is easily Blur's worst effort and has some truly awful tracks to prove it. Mr Robinson's Quango and Dan Abnormal are top of the list. Every time Damon sings 'I want McNormal and chips or I'll blow you to bits' it never fails to make me cringe. If it wasn't for the awesome The Univesal this album would have had one star, unfortunately the bad tracks out-weigh the good ones on this. Buy Modern Life is Rubbish or Blur but not this turd of an album.

I read all kinds of things - and read a lot. This is one of the few books I'm not even going to finish.

It doesn't provide details on how to value intangibles. It promotes a stock approach for intangible asset measuring but lacks the comprehensiveness of methodologies that use a flow approach.

There seemed to be a lack in practical application and his arguments seemed not to be tested.

Unbelievable Tripe
|
This book to me just seemed to be put together for the money.The ending was so poorly written and so unbelievable that I triedto think of alternate endings.The hero gets killed. Of course, we don't do that in Romance!The hero gets wounded and ends up in Jail. (Done that before)The hero gets an important message from Ana and leaves Meg.Napoleon decides to pursue the war and leaves sooner than planned.Now any of the above would have been so much more believable...but wait...this is NOT reality...this is romance.And, this is the first of Feather's books that I've just hated.

The Man Only Has One Plot
|
Evil, nasty, but stupid and inept bad guys get their hands on a superweapon that can destroy the universe, but the good guys rally around their innate goodness and sheer ginchiness and manage to defeat the bad guys and everyone lives happily ever after.If that's what you want, go for it. If you want complex and competent villains, heroes that actually do more than hold hands and focus on how good they are, and characters of all stripes that are intelligent, try Timothy Zahn or some other notables.And be very, very grateful Anderson hasn't tried his hand at Star Trek. We barely survived having Diane Carey as an editorial favorite.

I did like the special feature disk
|
Deniro is one of the best actors of all time. Most all of Scorcese's films are jewels. But...I couldn't get through this film in one sitting. An overdose. The script seemed ad-libed and overfull. It was boring. It was depressing from start to finish with no sense of salvation for any of the characters, nor did they deserve it.I bought the special edition and absolutely enjoyed the special features, though it won't drive me back to watch the film again."Mean Streets" and "Taxi Driver" did the same thing to me,,so perhaps I'm peculiar.

As much as I looked forward to seeing this moveie, I hate to say that it was wasted time. This movie tried to really push the jokes but they simply fell flat. Not even the fight between Sista Gurl and She-Devil could save this movie. The blooper feature was even non funny. I tried to laughed, I wanted to find it funny but in the end, I was slightly humored and glad that I borrowed this DVD from a friend.

Quality Control Unsatisfactory
|
A week after I purchased and installed the mail box, two of the cedar wood strips fell off from the mail box. They were not attached to the mail box with sufficient adhesives and apparently they were not tested by the manufacturer. Obvious lack of quality control. I would not recommand this product.

Building up steam...
|
Thefirst volume of Gasarakireally surprised me. It was well written and thoughtful, trying to tell a deep story that was more about behind the scenes power plays than robot brawls.This second disc continues to add new wrinkles and complications. The war with Belgistan comes to a close (which surprised me as I thought it was going to run through the entire series) and the JSSDF forces prepare to pull out. We learn about a secret organization calling itself Symbol that was assisting Belgistan, though their motivations for doing so are still clouded.Yushiro causes some commotion when he heads off base and winds up in the middle of a kidnapping. We also see more of the mysterious girl from the first disc that seems to share Yushiro's powers.Very little seems to happen episode by episode. If the disc is watched straight through it is very satisfying viewing, but I can see that if I were watching this half an hour at a time as it was broadcast it would have been tough to follow.

Great System.
|
Hands down destroys XBOX. Some minor software glitches to be worked out... minor handshake issue with hdmi cable connection and some ps1 and ps2 games. Other than that the system is top notch. Resistance Fall of Man is amazing! The bluetooth controllers are great too.

Good, but...

It does show its age - there's not a great deal on neural nets or genetic algorithms for example.Also, it's available in paperback (maybe not on Amazon?) so shop around...

Holy crap, what the hell is this?
|
I'm sorry but these guys are really impressive. Necrophagist are one of the fastest, most furious death metal bands on the planet. Amazing time signature and tempo changes, a lightspeed guitarist and bassist (he's a hell of a shredder too) and an incredibly technical drummer make Epitaph one damn fine album. True the vocals are a bit cookie cutter (as in cookie monster), oh well, its death metal. The musicianship and songwriting are topnotch though and somewhat melodic if not wholly original. I detect some definite Morbid Angel influence, but even in their heyday MA never played with such ferocity. Necrophagist even quote a bit of Montagues and Capulets from Prokofiev's ballet Romeo and Juliet at the end of Only Ash Remains. Pretty Cool.

Programming doesn't have to be confining. If you are a programmer feeling claustrophobic this book will allow you to explore the world of Direct3D.After introducing you to the essentials of Direct3D's API, you begin coding Direct3D applications. Each application explores a notable area of Direct3D development such as texture mapping or animation. Bottom line - if you want to code with Direct3D, buy it.

Cash Grab Release!
|
This is the fourth release of this film on blu-ray already. There is the 2006 original, a 2009 lenticular cover version, a 2010 blu-ray/DVD combo and now this 2011 blu-ray book. While I won't debate the merits of the film itself, MGM is currently in the middle of bankruptcy proceedings and I assume this is the primary reason for this new release. Unfortunately, they haven't bothered upgrading the original MPEG-2/LPCM 2006 mastering of the film itself; all the versions contain identical disc content. If you don't already own this film and want a fancy book style package for a 5 year old blu-ray master, go ahead and pick this up. Otherwise, you're better off finding a less expensive older version.

Great cleaning power.
|
This vacuum has excellent cleaning power and is great for cleaning carpeted stairs, but it is quite heavy as noted by other reviewers. Overall, this vacuum does the job, no recharging needed, and the cord and nozzle store conveniently with the unit.

A disposable chainsaw
|
I got the chainsaw out of necessity. It did exaclty what I expected and then some.I used it once/twice and it was awesome. Once we moved I'd use it 3-4 times a week (and still under 3 gallons of fuel total) the chainsaw went belly up. Took it to a trusted show they informed me it had blown up. I then found out I had 2 year warranty on a 18 month old saw. Took to authorized dealer they told me it was carburator and not blown up at all and by taking it to the previous shop I voided my warranty. Yeah, my mistake there, but with no more than 3 gallons of gas in 18 months this should have never happened! So, now I am out $20 service call and a $139 chainsaw. My wife told me to buy a Stihl and the authorized service shop recommended Echo and then Stihl.For sale or trade one broke PP3516AVX. The PP should be POP for Piece of SxxT!My last Poulan product, unless they give me one.

Good rice, but unreliable product: Keep your receipt!
|
I agree with most of the other reviews in that the rice is good when it gets cooked. However, this product is unreliable. The "Cook" button frequently pops up to "Warm" before the rice has finished cooking. Also, if you leave the rice on the "Warm" option for more than an hour or so, the rice on the bottom will burn. I cook rice appx twice a week and have had this machine for nearly 5 months - it just stopped working the other day with no obvious cause. I called the warranty hotline number and was informed that the problem is usually with the detachable power cord. Luckily I still have the receipt and this happened within the 1-yr warranty period, so they will replace it for me.

Sent a Broken helmet in a box with label "Damaged"
|
We received the package today, and it turned out to be a used piece of trash. The box inside the packaging had a label saying "Damaged" on it. The helmet itself had been used and had a 2-inches long crack on it. They had sent us a broken product that had been clearly marked as broken. This is unacceptable and highly degrading.

Very Good but look closely.
|
A useful guide, as far as I can tell, professional and concise. A possible caution however. The most recent edition as of Nov. '04 is the 11th edition, 2004. I would suggest that you not buy a used copy unless the seller specifies the edition or the publication date. This may not matter very much. Note that the most recent Gilbert bankruptcy law guide and the most recent Nutshell bankruptcy law guide are both 2002 (as far as I can tell). If you're serious about looking into this, you might as well have the sharpest tools you can find.

Eh (shrug)
|
Cheap price, but cheap quality too. The baby just kicks and tears it because it's paper thin and moisture sometimes soaks through. They're ok for keeping in the diaper bag for when you're out, but too much of a hassle to use all the time on a changing table or baby bed.

A sweet, uplifting book about a gay man who takes in his troubled teenaged neice
|
This thoughtful and gently amusing book is about a gay New Yorker who decides to take in his perpetually in trouble teenaged neice. The ways in which they both grow and change, and the ways in which they provide for each other's emotional needs, is touching and made me feel wonderful to read. They get off to a rocky start, and like with any teen, the rockiness doesn't stop even as things get better for them both, but it is wonderful to see the ways they change each other and both grow.A great feel-good read.

Cost effective eyeware
|
These are good value for money polarized glasses They are light and give good cover for your eyes. I would expect them to fit most head sizes comfortably. The lenses quality wont be comparable to Bolle or Serengeti but you get what you pay for. I'll be getting a few spare pairs to keep in the car. Recommended.

Truly Non-Stick! basically the Superman of frying pans
|
First off, i'm in my mid-twenties(frequent burner) and i learned about these scanpans at a cooking class. The instructor was like "has everyone heard about scanpans? Chefs are going crazy for them because they REALLY don't scratch"then he let us use the pans with forks and other metal objects without fear. He probably does that 3 times a day, 7 days a week. That sold me. My experience has been exactly the same. I whip eggs, then scramble them with the same fork without worrying about scratching the top coat. Very happy....

A truly chilling and emotional movie, the best yet...
|
I absolutely loved this movie! It was much better than Attack of the Clones, and that movie was spectacular. All the aspects of the Dark Side of the Force were pretty well mentioned in this movie. We all wanted to know why Darth Vader wears that big, black armored suit with the creepy breathing sounds, right? The main plot in the movie is Anakin is tempted by the Dark Side of the Force by Chancellor Palpatine. Watch and enjoy this movie as Anakin becomes Darth Vader and the jedi are destroyed. This chapter of the Star Wars saga has to the best!!

I love this rice
|
I just discovered Barry Farms rice, including the Brown Jasmine. It was very good, flavorful. Barry Farms is a pleasure to deal with. My entire order included other brown rice types, each bagged individually in an airtight bag and then all of those bags inside another heavy duty plastic bag. The box was full of the little foam pieces. You could tell it was packed with care. The order arrived pronto. This is the first online company I have ordered gourmet food from and I have not been disappointed. I will be back.
