Such a clear picture!
|
Wow! when I got the Yellow Pokemon Bundle Pack, I was so amazedat the clear pictures, it's so much clearer than other game boy colorconsols. And the console is a cool two-tone yellow and blue with cute pics of Pikachu, Jigglypuff and Togepi on the side screen. And on top of that Pokemon Yellow is AWESOME! The story line is the same as red and blue, but there are some surprises here and there. Most obviously, it has a cute intro with pikachu, and cute Pikachu sounds throughout the game. You start out with Pikachu and he follows you around and does cute things when you talk to it. Best of all is that Team Rocket makes a couple of apperances as well. All of the characters are redone and look a lot better than red and blue, and on top of it all its easier to get Squirtle, Bulbasaur, and Charmander all in one game! This is definately a good tide over until Pokemon Gold and Silver (English Version) come out for Game Boy!

vast subject, vacant characters
|
Simply put, the subject became bigger than its author. As a result, there was little character development, plot, or cohesiveness. The first chapter is a great set-up. A group of upscale, precocious kids pay big bucks for an environmental odyssey, and end up having to take shelter from an unanticipated snow storm in a strange cave filled with bizaar artifacts. So far so good. I begin the next chapter hoping to find out more about the fate of the kids and their tour guides. Instead, I'm drug from one corner of the earth to the next as a sinister subsurface society begins to assert itself...along with a whole new cast of characters at every turn. Events are fired like shrapnel as I'm left hanging. Each new chapter is like a new book. I was exhausted just trying to keep up. Okay, enough said. I guess Im just a sucker for emotional depth...even if its in hell itself.

Entertaining, but could have used a little more action
|
First off, I'm going to agree with pretty much everyone here, the scenes with Kung Fu are done excellently. The effects, although ridiculous are quite cool.Now my (minor) gripes:- There's no way to skip to the menu while the disc is initially loading. This isn't a big deal the first time, but it does get kind of annoying to have to sit through the warnings and logo screens.- The story kind of falls over itself towards the end. That might be kind of predictable given that this team would have destroyed everyone in the competition, but it kind of betrays the point of these guys playing together (to spread the word about Shaolin kung fu) when it looks like every team but the scrubs knows a little kung fu.Other than that though, it is quite fun to watch.

Very Dissapointing!!
|
This album doesn't even compare to Sparkle and Fade. This was much more easy listening. Songs like "I Will Buy You a New Life" and "Father of Mine" got really annoying after the first couple of times that I heard them. The band should go back to their old ways of Sparkle and Fade.

It's great. It's quite in depth, though you have to accept some parts of the math if you don't already know differential equations.It's understandable even to me, and the last chem course I took was just AP, but it's also very challenging and in depth. Highly recommend.

Notes From the Moviewatcher
|
This movie explores the intricate mind of a building inspector (Henry Czerny) who has few friends and a sour disposition. He resents his circle of "friends" and feels that they only use him for their personal gain. He doesn't seem to attract women and eventually has an encouter with a prositute(Sheryl Lee) with whom he tries to help out. He is torn between his need for love and disgust for her profession; his feelings of isolation do not facilitate for a healthy relationship. This film takes a look at the darker sides of one's personality. Most can relate to this flim on one level or another....whether it be social dysfunction, isolation from the opposite sex, or simply feeling used by others. The movie is mulit-texutred with amusement, irony,and sadness. I highly recommend this film.

Used but functional.
|
I purchased a used Dual XDM7510 In Dash CD/MP3/WMA Receiver from Crader Electronics & p.c. repair. I rated it 4 stars instead of 5 only because it took a bit longer to arrive than the estimated shipping date and all the old solder-less crimp style connectors were left on. I purchased this specific unit to replace the same style unit that quit working and the used one works just fine after installation. It arrived clean and in good shape.

Same old, same old.

Straight off, let me tell you that if you've never read an Eddings book before, you'll probably enjoy this. David and Leigh have a unique style of writing, and a wicked sense of sarcastic humor that you won't find elswhere....WHY did Althalus have to be a character so similar to Begarath? Emmy reminds me much too sharply of both Polgara and Sephrenia. The plot (save the world from an evil god through a major battle or two at the end, with the help of some gods/friends) and everything else about this book conspires to have me compare it to the others I have read, where it fails miserably.I never would have thought I'd hear myself saying it, but there is such a thing as an overdose of Eddings humor. And while The Redemption of Althalus may have made an excellent series, sadly in its compacted form it's merely a depthless imitation of David Eddings' previous books.Buy at your own risk, yee readers of Garion and Sparhawk.

This book showed me how important it is, as Human Beings, to reach out to those less abled, with compassion and love. It's a lot easier to close our eyes and put our heads in the sand then to get involved and feel others pain and neglect. We are, as the Bible teachs, Our Brothers Keeper

Grammatical errors especially made for 7-year olds
|
Today , we visited our 2nd-grader's classroom on "Grandparent's Day". We asked our 7-year old to read to us. He read from a book published by Scholastic, entitled "Junie B. Jones and the Mushy, Gushy Valentine". To our dismay, there were no less than five grammatical errors in the three pages he read to us (for example "costed" instead of "cost".) This is simply outrageous. How can an allegedly responsible publisher create blatantly erroneous reading material for 7 year-olds in the formative stages of their literary lives? You should fire your editors and offer a public apology to your customers for your shoddy workmanship.

Quite fun, and clever
|
This is not a chummy kitchen science experiment book. The science is serious and some principles obtuse. I studied this sort of thing in college and found some of it tough going, though I do think I came away with a lucid understanding for the effort.The author rambles a bit, mixing exposition and reminisces. This is not a terrible thing, but may not be what you expect. Some of the experiments are elegant and clever, and impressed my 6 year-old considerably. The author's bent is towards optical phenomena, such as why the sky is blue, more than the meteorological, though there's plenty in there.A fun and interesting book in a conversational and sometimes amusing format. And yes, I finally can explain why the sky is blue.

This book certainly covers all the basics for those wishing to learn PostgreSQL - However:1. Nearly half of the book is Appendices. Maybe OK if you don't want to read the free docs on the computer screen.2. Written like an encyclopedia. Ever try reading one of those? The lack of user exercises is particularly irritating....Get the Wrox book instead of this one and you will be richer and happier ...

Literally, a literal translation of the Spiritual Exercises
|
This book, though good for one who is trying to make sense and meaning of the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola in contemporary language, is not for people who are seeking to gain knowledge about being directed or directing the Spiritual Exercises, or what they are, or how Scriptures could be prayed over imaginatively, or what "dynamics" mean in relation to the Spiritual Exercises. This book is literally a commentary of the Spiritual Exercises in modern language and is not general reading material to get "technical" know-how of how the Exercises are done. Buy this book if you want to do an academic study of the Exercises. A reference book I would call it.

Great Book!
|
The Skewed Throne is a great book. I couldn't stop reading it once I opened the beautiful cover. The author grabbed me right away and didn't let go. I love the main character and found myself pulled into the novel from the very beginning. I read the Skewed Throne before work, at work, and then when I got home. I just had to keep reading, and rarely do I find a book that compels me to read another chapter, and another, etc.Joshua Palmatier has a gripping narrative style that doesn't sugar coat anything. You get to see the filth and the blood of a medieval city, and come to understand the harshness of surviving on the streets. The young girl, Varis, who is the main character, is easily one of my favorite characters of any book I've ever read. If you are familiar with Arya Stark in George R.R. Martin's Song of Ice and Fire series you'll love Varis, who has a similar tenacity and toughness.I highly recommend The Skewed Throne and fans of gritty fantasy will love this book.

Fooled Me...
|
I bought this book as a high school senior looking to improve upon my already pretty good score on the SAT reasoning. My desire going into the test was simply to raise my score on the math section and keep the others around the same. However, what I discovered is that the first time i took the test, WITHOUT STUDYING, I fared better than I did with this book. Now, I may have been setting my sights too high, but this book promises an INCREASE of about 100 points by using their special techniques. What I found out, however, is that it did change my score by about that much, but in the OPPOSITE DIRECTION!! I am thoroughly disappointed, as I know that I'm not stupid... my application to Rice University is already in and I'm planning to apply to Georgetown, Stanford, Duke, and the University of California. I certainly hope that this doesn't jeopardize my standing with these colleges, but please, DON'T think that this book is worth the money... it's not.

Yes, I have been there and I do have regrets

Like Tucker I enjoyed telling my stories of binges and babes to those who wished a for a cruise down the River Vicarious (primarily young males who could capture a few of the tales for their own) but they appear so silly, so empty and useless. As I close on sixty I do wish I had spent more time in academic study, kindness and compassion. One day many years from now Tucker will look back and experience a moment of epiphany on where true happiness lies.

AVOID this lock.
|
The lock is described as having a "disk cylinder" mechanism. I quickly discoverd that if the key is inserted halfway and turned and then removed, the keyhole becomes "jammed."Apparently a disk was moved by the half insertion of the key so as to block any subsquent entrance of the key. I solved the problem by jamming the thin end of a bic pen cap into the keyhole in order to realign the disk.A disk locking system is not new; it amazes me that today's engineers could not make a better system. I lave a 100 year old disk lock, that works just fine. In conclusion, I cannot trust this lock to open when needed (and I do not always carry a bic pen with me!)Also, I did not attempt to replicate the problem caused by insertion of a key, because I was afraid that the disk would have moved to a different position and the "bic trick" would no longer work.

Waste of Time.

I bought this game [...] and after a few hours of play time, if it wasn't for the image distortion, and graphic-lag, and the fact that the game itself is basically a hodge-podge collection of freeware/payware train setups ("For the entire route go to "blahblahblah.com/co.uk/org" for [...], and the fact that this so-called content is supposed to be FREE (according to the package cover) it might actually be fun.If you set the session to use Dial-control then it literally eliminates any sense of realism because you feel like you're sitting on the floor with a switch in your hand and if you set it to use the actual controls then actually maintaining smooth operation is somewhere between difficult and impossible.This game does NOT perform as advertised and I would not recommend it to anyone. If you're looking for a decent train simulator, I recommend Microsoft Train Simulator program, you should be able to find it here or on the marketplace.

great bag
|
I did not what a "cute" baby bag. I wanted just a normal looking bag. I like when they can go over my head to my other shoulder, otherwise I always feel like it is slipping. The strap is adjustable, perfect. The only thing is the color was much darker then I thought. It looks like a denim color in the picture but it is defiantly a Navy blue, the zippers are grey. It also seems larger then the picture. It defiantly has room for everything.

Not Safe For Use In Car Seat
|
Our daughter was in the NICU and before we left, she had to have a car seat challenge. When we brought in her car seat, we had the bundleme in it and we had to take it out as it was a safety hazard. These are not safe for any child as they are made post manufacturing of your car seat, and therefore have not been safety tested with your car seat. Many infant carriers/car seat warranties will be voided if you are in a wreck and using a bundleme or other type of infant 'blanket' that goes between your child and the car seat.

Good sound but been through 2 pair that broke
|
I loved the sound quality of these headphones for the price, and the microphone was not too bad. The only problem I have had though, is that I am on my second broken pair. The volume control device keeps failing. I think wires inside the volume control are actually breaking. When I play with it for a while I finally get sound, but otherwise there they have completely stopped working. Last time a pair broke on me with the same issue, I called technical support and immediately after telling the rep. the problem, she said they would replace them without me even sending in the broken ones. That says to me, they must have been aware of the problem, and it must be a common problem.

Dense, discombobulated tale of self-absorbed, whiny people.
|
I had to re-read entire sections of this book in order to figure out what was going on---I'm still not sure. After speaking to several fellow readers, I know I'm not alone. And I'm flabbergasted by all the praise. Is this writer so brilliant that we mere mortals are unable to decipher his meaning? Or is this just a very bad book that somehow caught the interest of the literary elite, (intellectual snobs)---it won the Pulitzer. Guess it's over my head.T

Respect for solitude

The author, an Oxford psychiatrist extremely good at writing for the common reader, challenges his profession's insistence that external relationships are the sine qua non of a healthy mind, by focusing on the need for solitude. The cases you are introduced to, you already know, since he exclusively uses great thinkers and artists.Mr. Storr's argument that the need for solitude be respected may be an important one for our times.[Does anyone know the name of the painting on the front cover?]

Burdensome
|
I found it very burdensome to read this book for the simple reason that the author chose not to use quotation marks for any of the dialogue. I found myself constantly backtracking to figure out if a character had said the sentence I'd just read or if they just thought it or if it was part of the narrative. That really disrupts the flow of such a quiet book. I found the characters distant and didn't feel much affection for any of them. The characters seemed to wander in and out of the storyline without much interest.It's definitely an interesting period of history to set a novel but the impact of such momentous current events seemed detached from the characters.

Defective tracks
|
I had this as a vinyl album and listened to it hundreds of times, so I know the songs well. I was very shocked to discover that in this CD one of the singers is missing from most of these songs - the one with the lower voice, I think it's Paul. It's especially noticeable in "Early Morning Rain" because he sings the melody there, and his voice is virtually inaudible. He's missing from most, if not all of the tracks. Is this supposed to be the karaoke version?This would be a wonderful CD if somebody hadn't decided to turn the trio into a duet.

Not being catholic, yet appreciating some of what Mother Teresa had to say about service that is pleasing to God, I was caught up into watching this film. Production values are pretty good, though it's still clear it's a made-for-tv movie. I especially liked Olivia de Hussey in the lead role. A clean movie that gently teaches some good lessons.

This book is a nice overview of Web Servcies and a high level descirption of the technologies involved. It does, however, lack the details of the inner workings of a Web Service. There is little or nothing mentioned on the rpcrouter servlet, deployment descriptors, the soap admin council and the scope of a web service. It is a good book for the developer who is looking for basics when starting out looking into web services, but not a real good book for developers at the next level.

Good diversity of input on the subject
|
As some other reviewers have pointed out, this is not a cohesive, straight through guide to writing by a single author. It is a collection of 20 essays by 14 different authors on many different aspects of writing. The book covers plotting, characterization, creation of future societies, and (most important of all for aspiring writers) guidance on getting your first story published.This is an excellent book if you know what you are getting in to. It does not go into great depth on writing fantasy despite the title and it focuses mainly of the short story, not novels. If, however, you are interested in writing short science fiction this book is a great resource.

shrinkwrap Labeled as "NEW", fingerprints and scratches say otherwise

trying to get the rest of my stargate collection, so far the 2 sets i recived that were both labeld "NEW" on the shrink-wrap, and cases having their "tamper resistant" band on the top. show signs of wear, for this set (season 10), disk 2 of volume 1 looked like it was dropped on the floor, and scraped up with greasy fingers. so, id hardly call it new. disk 1 of volume 1 looked like it had been in a binder. and it also had fingerprints.thankfully none of the disks from season 10 set have file or corruption issues, i will keep this set, but will go back to brick and mortar stores for my media needs.the season 8 set i ordered had fingerprints on every disk, and looked like it also had been in a binder. not to mention one episode will not play (using a computer the disk shows corruption on a file VTS_01_1.VOB) so no, these sets were NOT "New" as they were labeled...

My Best Christmas Gift

This book was the best Christmas gift given to me. I have read and enjoyed Ms. Crist's Xena and Gabrielle stories and the web version of this book. The published version is even better; the plot tighter, the editing well done. I enjoyed the exciting legal mystery that is the central plot of this book, and the warm love story that develops very naturally and believably between Carson and Kennedy. It was a lot of fun to read about places in Texas too. I believe Ms. Crist is getting ready to start writing the sequel and I can hardly wait to read it.

Different But Good
|
Youthanasia is noticably different from earlier Megadeth releases. However this does not make the album bad. Most early Megadeth fans say that this is a selout.I disagree.I like early Megadeth and I like this also. I like it when bands change there style.I am glad that every one of Megadeth's albums do not sound exatly the same. I strongly recomend this album to metal fans. It is a masterpiece.

Loved the series, but open ended
|
The series was funny and I had a good time watching it. The only thing I wasn't too thrilled about was the ending, it is an open ended final episode so if you are looking for an anime that will have a "romantic" or happy ending then you are looking at the wrong one.

Gospel at it's best
|
Another excellent gospel recording that was released back in 1994. In this writer's opinion, the best songs on the album are, Still in Love, Sure Won't Forget, No Turning Back, Til The End, featuring Kenny Latimore, and Be Encouraged. These songs received heavy rotation on Gospel stations during that period, and Be Encouraged crossed over to the secular R&B Charts.

Great

This is the first workout video I've ever done, besides 8-minutes abs (very good by the way). This is only the basic video and it really gets you going. I had never done taebo before but now I love it and I just ordered the Advanced video. The music is cheesy but what would a work out video be with out the cheesy music. Billy is a good and motivating coach and now I can recommend taebo to anyone! It's a great fun way to get in shape!

Health benefits are those of grapes, not black currants
|
If you're looking, as I was, for the type of black currants that researchers have found are higher in antioxidants than grapes and may have powerful health benefits, look elsewhere. It's not so much that the manufacturer is being dishonest as that "black currant" has come to mean "Zante currant" in the U.S. What researchers studied was the Ribes nigrum species; the common name "black currant" here is just going to mislead you into buying small raisins. Ribes nigrum is a berry that grows on bushes, while grapes are unrelated and grow on vines.After buying these and finding they tasted a lot like raisins (I should have read the earlier reviews), I did some research in Wikipedia and on the web and finally found a source of real black currants, which I've just ordered. Amazon has some products that list Ribes nigrum as an ingredient, but doesn't seem to carry the berries, just seed oil, cosmetics, and powders.

Awful, just awful

It's a beautiful tricycle and pretty irresistible to us parents who had similar ones as a child, but RESIST! It topples easily--very easily. My son is 3 years old, 40 inches tall and 38 pounds. This trike is the perfect size for him and he can ride it really well. But if he turns any kind of halfway sharp turn, it tries to tip over. If he goes the least bit fast, it starts to tip over. I'm a nervous wreck when he's on this trike because it's constantly about to tip over, and sometimes, of course, it does tip over and we have to untangle him from it. He avoids it and prefers to ride an old trike we paid $5 for at a garage sale. We finally bought a REAL trike--the Supertrike 3. It's much, much better.Don't go for nostalgia, go for function and safety. Don't buy this tricycle.

Nice grater but small
|
It has become so hard to find a good quality hand held grater. I love the handle on this one. It a nice rubber and big enough to grip easily even with wet hands. The overall size and the size of the holes were smaller than I expected. So it is best for very hard cheeses like parmesan or for zesting.

DMX needs improvement
|
The DMX album "Grand Champ" is nothing to write home about. The beats in all the tracks are almost the same. The only tracks that are really good are "Where the Hood AT", "Dogs Out", "Shot Down", & "Don't Gotta Go Home". His previous album "The Great Depression" is far better than his current album.DMX please improve.

a great strategy game
|
This game is an addition to the game Settlers of Catan. Our family really enjoyed the game Settlers. We didn't think that this game could be improved upon. However, since we have added the addition, Cities and Knights, we cannot go back to just plain Settlers of Catan. This game has intrigue, planning, chance and strategy all rolled into one game. Even the members of our family that don't often play games, love this game. We heartily recommend it to teenagers and adults. It is a really great game!

Big disappointment
|
I'm a big fan of O'Reilly, but this book doesn't cut it. If you're completely new to computers and new to UNIX, this book is probably a good one, but if you are remotely familiar with another O/S, skip this book. It is way too basic and only covers a handful of commands. "UNIX for dummies" is less condescending and covers more. For instance, the printing section says what to do if "my printout hasn't come out". It says "other users may have made a request to the printer ahead of you and your file should be printed in turn." Then "...check the printers connections and power switch" Duh. O'Reilly usually writes books for smart people, this is an exception.

Far from the Greatest Teams of All Time
|
This book was poorly written and was more of a regurgitation of useless facts, rather than a thoughtful analysis on the subject of Baseball. If you are looking for some good firewood, then I would highly recommend this book. Otherwise, Mr. Epstein should stick to his day job and real baseball fans should look for another book.

Great tool and buy
|
I purchased 4 of the thumb saver tool sets as Christmas presents. I have used the tool to hold a nail in place in out of the way places where it would be awkward to hold and then strike the nail. The tool works as advertised and the DIY network did a great job making me aware of the tool. I will continue to use the tools and avoid those painful hits to the fingers and thumb. For a home do-it-yourselfer the tool is great.

It Doesnt Work
|
I was waiting anxiously to receive this – and was sincerely hoping I wouldn’t have the issues that the others had written about. Unfortunately I did. The tape deck in my car (BMW 525i – 2001) did accept it – but it doesn’t actually play any music. I can see that the track is playing on the ipod – but there isn’t any sound from the car speakers. You have to press the ‘forward’ button twice on the tape deck to actually get the ipod to move a track forward – and even this isn’t reliable because it doesn’t work most times.Highly disappointing!!! It just surprises me that the adapter can actually pass on signals to the ipod – but cant get the sound to come through the car’s deck. I wouldn’t recommend this product.

It was a great gift, it is nice that it is sterling silver and all. However the black cord slipped out of the clasps and thus the necklace is broken. So I have to buy another black cord for the necklace this frustrates me.

More then pleased ...
|
I am new to the cell phone era, but I am glad I waited until now. I have been able to see people all around me get them and see what problems they encountered.I am very pleased with the phone and service I get from T-Mobile. I have not had any problems making or reciving calls from where ever I have been. I have even been able to get service when other could not. I generally have at least 4 lines on reception and others around me have all they can do to get 1.The phone was very easy to setup and learn. I like the online feature of adding people to the address book. Makes it so much easy to load that.I was also very pleased with the service I got from Amazon. Phone was shipped very fast. I had an issue with the first one I got (has discoloration on outside) and they resolved the problem immediately. Couldn't ask for more from a company.All in all I would highly recommend this phone to anyone who would ask.

Need powerblaster to use all features.
|
Just so other are aware: I bought this item, then returned it because in order to use the rf feature, you need the powerblaster. I was a little annoyed because I don't think this was clear enough on the webpage. It is a better deal to just but the remote and powerblast pack together if you want to be able to hide all your components and still use the remote.The remote works great and I thought it was very simple to set up. For, the TV we used a provided program. For the cable, we needed to completely customize each button. This took some time but the "learn" feature is so easy. We only have a TV, cable box/DVR, and DVD player so maybe it gets more complicated. But, I thought it was super easy to set up and use. The buttons are well organized on the remote.As for the powerblaster, my fiance said it was easy to set up. Great buy for what we needed.....once we figured out that you absolutely needed the powerblaster unit.

Disapointing
|
Not that the music is bad but its a little to soft DJ Cam in most parts. If you like light jazz sort of beats then you'll really enjoy this, but as apposed to most of Spookys other beats its really on the light side. Asphalt and Parachutes are 2 tracks of special mention. The former is a nice piece of trippy hip hop while the later has a really funky groove.

Disappointing
|
This book was very disappointing, especially considering the fun and adventure in its prequel, Eragon. A long portion of the story drags when we read about Eragon's training, something of which I was not interested in reading about. The ending was better (as was Roran's parallel story), but the fact that so much revolved around Eragon's training, I was overall disappointed.

A great service
|
I have been with Verizon for almost 8 years and moved to AT&T; coz. of roll over minutes feature as part of the plan. Sony ericsson is a great phone except as mentioned in the cnet reviews, the cons remains with it.The service with AT&T; is great, no loss of call or echo in the voice as mentioned in other reviews. I believe that it's not the service but the mobile instrument that the echo and voice clarity is dependent upon.

Could have been better
|
I just red this book and I am desappointed! Where is the story? It's sex, sex and sex. Don't think wrong, usually I like the sex part in lesbian romance, I'm a huge fan of Radcliffe, but this one is too much!If the police story has been in the foreground, it would have been better. But the story is shallow and a lot of it doesn't seem real or even possible.Too bad, it could have been a great book with less sex and more story.

One of the best GREATEST HITZ

Now I'm not going to lie Hank Williams Jr. and Sr. are my favorite (country) singer(s) and I love just about all their music. If you love Hank get this CD. If you only some of Hank Jr.'s stuff at its best then still get it. This is definitely worth every penny.

Are these written by the companies who make the products? They certainly do not read like profesional reviews. Tons of typos throughout. This book claims to be a source of saving money. I'd like to see statistics on how much money the average readers saves because of her advice.
