0	hmmm	a bit old school... good for the basics but if you want to become a raw foodie and make some fantasic food dont bother, this is like a book from the 70s and just doesnt kick it for raw food lovers today... if this is what your after dont bother...	negative
1	Time Saver	Perfect for a couple. Arrived on time, excellent condition, very good price. Great timesaver for a busy family. I plan to purchase a couple more before summer arrives.	positive
0	Waste if time; waste of money	I should start by saying I didn't read the whole book. That's because I found it insulting that we were to believe this was a true biography. I resented the author passing off what he thought Gene Kelly must have been thinking during the AFI awards, I disliked the author painting Gene Kelly as mean-spirited and shallow. It was maddening to have the beginning of every chapter fractured with this conjecture. I considered this a total waste of money. Although I freely share my books with others, this book has been consigned to the role of doorstop.	negative
0	Campbell's chicken noodle soup, in dirt flavor! YAY!	It's a piece of dirty gum! GOO-GOO GA-GA! Oh, mr. SUN, sun, mr golden sun, please blow up the piece of dirt! MOO!	negative
0	WASTE OF TIME	Ordered almost 2 weeks ago and got a notice today saying canx. Now I see all the reviews here and understand this was a bad decision....I better go check my creditcard for the credit according to the other reviews.	negative
1	Enlightened writing.........	The best films, books, theatre, etc. are always those which entertain while surreptitiously delivering a knock-out dose of good medicine.For those of you out there who are arrogant and haughty (you know who you are); for those who think mundane people, places and assignments are a punishment from the gods; for those who find few moments in life cause celebre'; in short, for those suffering from the same existential disease as this reviewer - you must buy this film. Watch it over and over (I promise you won't get bored) until you REALLY get it; it will save you at least 100,000 future lives.	positive
1	Good speaker set.	For the price and size the set is a really good buy. It fits well into a compact space, and the sound is good. The only down side is the sub-woofer, but with price and the size of it I guess it will surfice.	positive
1	Canon Armor	Fits very well and still maintains a reasonable sensitivity to the controls. If you are not familiar with the controls it is difficult to read the function on the armor. The battery pack that fits on the bottom of the Rebel XTi poses a challenge to fit after the armor is on. Requires some fusing to get it on. Over all, I am very pleased.	positive
1	Video study guide	This was a big help understanding the basics. i could use the video for review. I only wish this came on DVD.	positive
0	Thank Goodness it's [Allegedly] Over	I only read this awful book to see if all the five star reviews were right in saying it was better than that horrible piece of garbage, the Fifth Sorceress.Bottom Line: It's not. It's worse.This series started off with so much hype it would be almost impossible to live up to it, but Newcomb manages to make all the amateurish writing in the world seem professional by comparison. "Whump! Whump! Whump!" Oh for goodness' sake.Please, Robert Newcomb, like Ashlee Simpson, give up trying. It's not your field.	negative
0	Breaks pretty quickly	Works OK when it works. Cumbersome startup and scanning software. Seems to use a lot of ink. But I was OK with that until it broke less than two years after I bought it. Then I found that Canon's user manual and website were practically worthless (nothing about the error code I got, which it turns out is pretty common when you Google it). They haven't got many authorized repair shops. I drove 30 minutes each way to have mine repaired, at a cost of $125 -- $35 for a new purge tank, and $90 labor. In retrospect, that was stupid -- I could have had a new machine just like this one for $250 and saved myself two hours of driving and a week without a printer. I wish I knew a better all-in-one to recommend, but I switched to this Canon after a very poor experience with an HP. So all I can say is this one is nothing great.	negative
1	Well done movie about an intriguing historical theme...	This movie is a superb historical attempt to portray the Madness of King George III of England. It takes place shortly after the American Revolution, and combines a couple incidents in King George's life into a condensed time period. Although not 100% historically accurate, it is superbly done. Great acting, cast and sets. Nice movie for those interested in the time period or historically themed movies.	positive
1	Fantastic! Totally works!	This is the best thing I've purchased in ages -- I can't believe I waited so long to get it. My mini poodle would bark every time someone passed my apartment door, which was okay during the day but NOT fun at 3 am! She barked once and then totally stopped -- now she'll make a small rumble-y noise, but no more middle-of-the-night barking at the front door for 5 minutes. The only negative is that the 25 ft range is definitely true -- she knows now that she can't bark by the front door, but she can bark in the living room. But it works so well that I'm buying a second one to put there!	positive
0	Don't buy	I bought mine brand new and loved it. After 3 1/2 years of ownership the video card went out. A replacement card, if you can find one, is $950 plus installation. Do a google search and you will find this is a very common failure. I will never buy another samsung product again. I paid $3000 and it only lasted 3 1/2, that's pretty sad. Half of the screen would go black after 1/2 hours of being on. I'd turn it off for 5 mins. And the picture would come back.	negative
0	Let Down	I knew the track list before I bought it, but this disc lacks alot of great music from the weekend. In particular, no Umphrey's Mcgee, no Disco Biscuits, and no Keller Williams Incident! I think most people that buy this disc could do without Del McCoury, The Blind Boys of Alabama, John Butler Trio, or Norah Jones. People are being deprived of great jams, and that just isn't right!	negative
0	Cheap, but works.	I took off the cap before installing this, and something must have bumped the end, because it looked crushed, the plastic around the plug is very very cheap, but it does work as a cable. BE VERY CAREFUL with this delicate wire. But of course once it is installed it does the job.	negative
1	Must read for any business trying to make $$$$ on-line.	AOL has defined the on-line world. An inside look at the largest and one of the strongest companies on-line today. This fascinating book describes how they got to be the biggest and one of the most widely recoginized. For any business-person who is trying to make $$$$ on-line -- this book is a must read.	positive
1	Snap-N-Store DVD Storage Boxes	These storage boxes are awesome! They are affordable, but don't look cheap. The packaging says that they will hold 26 DVDs, but I was able to easily fit a couple more. They are great to put on shelves or just stack on top of each other.	positive
0	Wrong Part Shown	Picture showing the Strut Mount incorrect. Part I received was the rubber insert, but not the mounting kit as described. Wording for search is totally wrong.	negative
0	Nasty, disgusting, a complete and utter failure of a book!	I got this book as a Christmas gift from my sister L, I don't know what I did to deserve this. I thought she loved me. Claudia Dain has a preoccupation with the minstral cycle and any questions that anyone has regarding it are answered by this book. Seriously, I like the other reveiwers have read many upon many romances and just books in general. I think that I am not alone in my opion that not even James Patterson, Dean Koontz or Stephen King cannot compare with the "blood letting" in this book. I will never EVER read another book by this aurthor. The good news is if she got published there is hope for us all.	negative
1	Lots Of Plot Twists!	I found this book to be extremely interesting! It takes you inside the world of publishing and the writing process itself which I thought was an ingenious idea by itself but Sandra Brown toped even that with her book inside the book! Envy held my attention untill the very end with all it's plot twists and just trying to figure out who is who. This is the first Sandra Brown book that I have ever read but I will certianly be reading more of her work! 5 Stars!	positive
0	Disappointing Patchwork	I was somewhat disappointed by this patchwork as it has no complete story at all. While the Moonbase and the Crusade offer Audio for the missing episodes there is no commentary so you are left to wonder what is happening in the silences.I expected more from the BBCThe episodes that are shown are captivating and do give an insight into the quality and occasional lack of quality that makes up Doctor Who.The Underwater Menace with its string transported Fish People and exaggerated evil madman was quite amusing.Yes the Show was great what a shame the DVD production is not.	negative
1	Great Read	"Kokoro" is a very well written novel narrated by a Japanese college student who grew up in Japan during the end of the Meiji restoration period. It contained captivating characters who represented the struggles associated with attempting to build a bridge between the past and the present. It was written in a compelling and transfixing fashion that drew me into the world of the characters quickly and easily. It offered great insight into a significant period in Japanese history and into the psyche of the people of any nation as they experience a reformation in a way that would be interesting even to someone who did not enjoy history.	positive
0	I wish there was a choice of 0 stars	First of all, the writing was boring and didn't flow naturally. I forced myself to keep reading. I've only ever had to do that one other time (with an Elizabeth Hand novel).Second, I was totally amazed with this book. I loved the part where an entire stadium full of people, and all the players (except one "heathen") at a Christian school disappeared all at once. I'm being facetious.I keep wondering what happens to all Jewish people (the chosen race, according to the Bible I grew up with). What about Mormons? Muslims? Are we so arrogant as to limit God's acceptance of different forms of worship? I, for one, as a believer in God, will NOT commit blasphemy and pretend to know the mind of God and what He will do.I found this book to be obnoxious; it didn't have either a Christian or Sci-Fi feel to me. It was just boring....	negative
1	no Florida map	I only went on 2 paths described in this book. Both descriptions were adequate, interesting, with historical background,and the trail maps were nice and clear. The West Orange Bike trail has a beautiful nature preserve going to Lake Apopka accessible by foot from the trail, which surprisingly was not mentioned. Also, there was no map of Florida to show where the different trails were.	positive
1	LOVE these bags	I consider these diaper sacks an essential in our house - the scent is very light and not overpowering, which is good because I generally don't like lavender, and they truly do block odors. We put diapers in these and just throw them in our regular trash, with no lid, and there is no smell whatsoever. I have the travel dispenser from Sassy in my diaper bag but I prefer these sacks because the handles make them really easy to tie.	positive
1	Works very well	This has performed very well - even after being accidentally dropped into the BBQ. Yes, the top came off from the heat, but we were easily able to squish it back on, and it's essentially back to its normal self. Seems to very accurately measure temperatures, and I have not found any problems with washing it. One caveat; it is not INSTANT instant read, but there is a very simple solution if you do not want to sit there holding it in your meat the entire cooking time. Just realize that the temperature will continue to rise, and take out your meat if the thermometer hits perhaps even 10 degrees below your preferred time (more or less, depending on your accepted range of doneness). We've never had such well-cooked meat before getting this...I highly recommend it.	positive
1	Fine	The periscope arrived undamaged and works fine. I purchased it to look into the space under my low-slope roof to see possible leaks in the future. Nice views of rafters and insulation.	positive
1	Good	Fast shipping and the book arrived in good condition. I thought the book was a hardcover, but it was a paperback. I think that was my fault though.	positive
1	class text	bought this book for a class. World economics: history and theory. it is a heavy read and contains good information.	positive
0	Forgettable	"The Forgotten" looks like a bad episode of the X-Files or the Twilight Zone. A mother grieves the death of her young son, only to be told (by her therapist, her husband and the whole world) that the boy never existed. She forms an unlikely alliance with an alcoholic ex baseball player and the whole thing turns really, really ludicrous. Julianne Moore delivers, as usual, a wonderful performance, but not even her talent can rescue this silly movie.	negative
0	I'm sorry, but this CD was awful	Besides Candy, every song on this CD was horrible. They rushed too fast produce this CD, and you shouldn't buy it. And on top of how bad and uncatchy each song is, mandy has such a horrible voice. Bad, Bad CD, and such a bad voice.	negative
1	A Little Confusing.	OK, many of Mr. Holt's books are hard to follow, this one was perhaps even a little harder due to the parallel stories. I really did like the idea of a Mirrors computer operating system though :-)	positive
0	Mediocre annotated Bible	JVI and his wife are marketing geniuses. With her soft, broken voice of adoration for her husband, she could sell ice to the eskimos. Over priced, personal interpretation of Scriptures, leaves a lot to be desired. Dispensational, pre trib, and bad at it...DONT LET YOURSELF BE FOOLED BY THESE MERCHANTS OF THE WORD OF GOD. THEY ARE OUT THERE TO PROMOTE A VERY DARK AGENDA. ASK FOR THEIR FINANCIAL BOOKS AND CHECK WHERE THE MONEY IS GOING BEFORE BUYING THIS BADLY PUT TOGETHER ABERRATION OF OUR HOLY BOOK. THINK OF WHO WOULD BENEFIT FROM DISARTICULATING CHRISTIANITY! MAY GOD GRANT YOU DISCERNMENT!	negative
0	What mockery is this?	We are brothers with the undead giant. This is a false tale that breeds misconceptions about our alliances with other tortured creatures. The bad film quality only makes the living laugh at us. I am prevented from giving it a 1 only because our Lord's name is in the title. Vampires, we must stop these cinematic assaults on our kind!!	negative
0	Worthless book, and I am a fool!!!	My compliments to the photographer, but the content of this book is mighty thin. I thought I had finally found a book that would go beyond the basic pasta techniques and that would tell how to make noodles and dumplings. Burn my soul! This book has the basic pasta recipe along with a few recipes for sauces and such. There is nothing in this book that you won't find in a comprehensive cookbook like Betty Crocker. Spaetzle isn't even mentioned! Save your money, friends. Or wait a year until they sell the remainders for 50 cents.	negative
1	still cronenberg's most terrifying movie	Videodrome is a sort of look at virtual reality but not in the way you would expect.. It is more of a look at perception and the drug like manifestations of technology on the mind.. One of Cronenbergs best and most startling movies - 'videodrome' will have you very wary of computers, television, and technology long after you thought you shook away the Kafka like anxiety of modern times.. Who knows maybe we are the victims of a similar plot (we really wouldn't know it if we were would we?).. All of Cronenberg's movies confront some aspect of hallucination and perception - making them almost abstract in their significance.	positive
0	Company didn't think design through	Had to align it just right, otherwise the gate doesn't shut. Torn right out of walls several times. Doesn't take into account height of baseboards, have a book wedged underneath the middle to support gates.	negative
1	The Swing Sessions ~ David Campbell	A new album from David Campbell is always a treat. This is a new direction - Jazz, classic Sinatra styling done only as a master such as david Campbell can achieve	positive
0	BEWARE!	DO NOT BUY THIS DVD PLAYER! Its crap I had mine for three weeks THREE WEEKS and now its dead.	negative
0	Just not worth it	We've had ours for over a year. At first I thought it was going to be very useful, but it has turned out to be more of a frustration than a useful device. It does very poorly on carpeted areas, and the front wheel gets bogged down with pet hair very quickly on any type of surface. You can't clean the front wheel as it doesn't detach, so your only option is to use a pair of tweezers on it. I found myself spending more time on cleaning the Roomba than using it. We quickly stopped using it for cleaning rooms and just use it for cleaning under the bed, where our vacuum will not fit. Today, it has decided to stop working after a few seconds of use, so I'm guessing it is the battery, although it shows having a full charge. Good luck in trying to get their Tech support to assist either on the phone or via email.	negative
0	Should have a better description	This was not at all what I expected it to be. It does not seem to be a heat barrier as advertised. What it is however, is a toxic piece of material that should not be handled with bare hands nor cut without wearing a mask. A detail that should most definitely be listed in the description of this product.	negative
1	Great Stuff	I have pretty crappy skin genetics, so I have problems with ingrown hairs and clogged pores all the time. A common misconception is being dirty, but I shower daily and it makes no difference. I tried body scrubs, lotions, creams and peroxide and just nothing has seemed to work or help. My sister suggested I try this No Bump stuff because she has the same problems with her skin like I do. I was really surprised when I got it, because after a few days of application, my skin was clearing up, and I was having less issues. Now I will say, it does not completely clear up the blemishes, but it makes shaving so much easier and my legs don't have as many red bumps anymore. I like it.	positive
1	Wordy	It had lots of interesting words and phrases. Actually, it was not a bad thing that I got to be able to read	positive
0	not all that	it looks good. but not as sharp as i expected. don't waste your money. i have the 4 star henckels bread knife and in my opinion is alot sharper. it's also cheaper. good luck.	negative
0	Terrible!	This has to be one of the worst horror movies I've seen. The acting is bad, the script is bad, and it's not even scary! It's about this website you log onto and somehow it takes your greatest fear and 48 hours later you die from that very same fear. Not worth the time, not at all.	negative
1	repeat customer	This is the only lotion at a reasonable price that works on my hands. I have hard water at home and at work so i was constantly applying lotion every time I washed my hands. I was literally putting lotion on my hands around 15 times a day. My friend is a hairdresser and recommended Aveeno to me since her hands are always in water. I took her advice and I only have to reapply around 3 times a day. The smell isn't the greatest (I was hoping for the same smell as their nighttime eye cream) but it doesn't smell awful, I guess the best way to describe the smell is plain.	positive
0	didn't work	Product didn't work as advertised.I could only get one side to output a signal to my receiver. I am purchasing a manual TOSlink switch with 3 inputs for about the same price. advise you to do the same. This product is very small and cheaply made,about the size of a newer model car key. Very unhappy. Live and Learn !!!!!!	negative
1	very attractive, sturdy bar	I really love this towel bar. It looks light and attractive but is very solid and sturdy once on the wall. I used heavier anchors and screws because I use very thick (heavy) bath sheets rather than normal sized bath towels. It works perfectly.	positive
1	NetWork the movie (first version)	This is one of our most favorite movies. I think it was made in the 70's but it is better than most the rubbish out today~ wow, what a plot line. Weird, interesting and "on point" all in one.	positive
0	This is waste of money!	First of all if you aren't obssessed with an artist or group dont buy any of their interview cd's. So ask yourself: Is Britney Spears the greatest person to live? if you said no dont event think twicwe about buying this cd- if u said yes- only buy this cd if u already own In Conversation and The Star Profile (two good interviews). THis interview is old has absolutely no new info on Britney and Britney talks for probably only 2% of the time. Bottom Line: Only for extreme die hard fans!	negative
0	poor workmanship	I returned two of these. The top portion is larger than the bottom and the quilting creates wrinkles & buckling that will not smooth out. You would expect a higher thread count for the money (felt like @ 180). Also, there was very little padding so you don't get what the pictures show.	negative
0	Slim, dreary, and self-important...	I should have known I was in for a disappointment when Disco Bloodbath wound up so quickly on my used bookstore's shelf. But, knowing some of the people in the scene in those days, I thought I'd give it a try. Lordy, what a mess this book is. St. James has all the insight and self-knowledge of a Right-Wing Bible-belter. His self-importance and shallow worldview wouldn't matter so much if he was actually funny, but he gives us the same tired drag queen jokes and movie quotes I've been hearing since the 70's. The Alig story is one ripe for a good book, but honey, this isn't it. I paid half price for this thing, and still feel my money and time was wasted.	negative
1	Groovy Sexy Cd ***Sneaker pimpZ	~Well I have had this album since 97' when it was released and I fell in love with it instantly. It has a sexy up-beat style just perfect enough for a luxurious bubble bath, you know champagne, candles, and all alone. Relaxing music like this is sure to give everyday its calming nature.~	positive
1	Very pleased with the Furminator!	The FURminator works great! I had read all of the great reviews for the FURminator, but I was still skeptical that something could really work that well for deshedding our dog. The FURminator stands up to its wonderful reputation. I used it on our dog right away and I was amazed at the amount of fur that came off of our dog. The FURminator is a great tool and I would recommend it highly to all!	positive
0	Carl Sagan Good, A&E bad	It was nice to see a biography on Carl Sagan. We asked A&E to replay it but they would not so we had to buy it. The biography was ok. We only bought it because it has Carl Sagan in it. I would never buy anything with A&E on on it as they are so arrogant. It is too bad A&E will show things right after death or more sensational biographies.	negative
0	Eyes Of An Angel: Soul Travel, Spirit Guides, Soul Mates, and the Reality of Love	I agree with other reviews. There are better books out there on the subject of NDEs and being on the other side in general. It does focus way too much on the Monroe Institute. There just isn't enough information to make it worth buying the book. If you want to read it, go to your local library.	negative
0	just average	might be an ok book if you lived in the areanot useful for out of towners - hikes not too interestingmore popular and too spread out to be useful.	negative
0	Way too brief...	"SUCCESSFUL SKETCHING" by Valerie Wiffen:I rate Valerie Wiffen's book only 1 star. At only 128 pages, the book covers not just "sketching" per se, but everything else related to sketching, but in BRIEF; there's brief architectural sketching, brief flower sketching, brief portraiture, brief figure sketching, and even brief still life. With such cursory treatment of each subject, how could anyone hope for success?The illustrations were uninspiring, and I found the overall flow of the book to be broken and disjointed from chapter to chapter. It's too short and requires expansion and more illustration. There are other, more thorough books on the market.	negative
1	kids are happy	It had everything in it as described, the projects the kids can do with such a variety of art supplies is almost endless!	positive
1	big ed is tight!!!!	big ed is tight!!!!i don't care what anyone says, big ed is tight!!!!he can rap good, to me it was worth my money.if you don't have this CD then git it fast!	positive
0	Painful to read	I selected this book to read as an independent choice for my Adolescent Literature course in college because I was interested in Arthurian Myth. After reading the introduction, I thought this author had the same passion and knowledge about Arthurian Myth as I did, and I hoped that this book would reflect that. Oh boy, was I wrong! This novel was painfully predictable, the plot seemed absolutely random, and many of the characters and events were so cliche that I laughed at loud. I felt like I was reading a 9th grader's first draft of a novel. I'll never read this author's work again.	negative
0	Not as expected	This is very small & more the size of a charm than a pendant. Not what I was looking for.... I sent it back.	negative
1	Rising star...	One of the finest voices to emerge in rock in recent times is the Norwegian born Jorn Lande,whose impressive CV includes his career with The Snakes(Neil Murray and Bernie Marsden from Whitesnake),his bands Millennium and the more experimental Ark,and his short stint with Yngwie Malmsteen,to name only a few of his accomplishments.This is his first solo album,comprising covers and originals:while his versions of the Journey and Deep Purple classics are nothing short of exceptional,the original songs present him as an accomplished songwriter in his own right.The overall musical tone of the album is one of fusing metal with progressive,blues and pop,all in the right amount for a great listening experience.	positive
0	just awful. not happy at all	Terrible! Ordered this as a wedding gift. The Decanter looks like a chemistry beaker with pegs on it and the glass is so thin I was afraid it would break before we even got it to them. And the glasses are a neat concept, but are only slightly bigger than shot glasses. TOTAL waste of money! Had to go buy something else last minuet. Save your money and buy something else	negative
0	I would not recomend this product	The picture was great but the sound card is junk. It failed after only 3 months. The local retailer I purchased it fromhas also gone out of business.	negative
1	Exactly what you think of, when you think of white tacks	As the title says, these are the quintessential white-plastic-topped thumbtacks. I used them to hang a dry-erase calendar on my office wall, and they did the job well.	positive
0	Nah...	First of all, it was expensive, second, there isn't anything in this book that isn't already easily accessible on the web.The tutorials did not go as smoothly as planned, even though I've been using PhotoShop for 4 years now. (Important) Steps seemed to be missing, and without them, you may as well not finish the tutorial.I've had this book for over a year, and to tell you the truth, the tutorials compiled in this book may very well be considered "tacky and overused." I suggest resourcing the web for the latest and greatest in special effects.	negative
0	Unnecessary Gadget	After using the Pilot for several months I found it easier to go back to my dayrunner. While the Pilot is smaller and lighter to carry, it is too tedious to enter data and retrieve the same.	negative
0	Mediocre	This book is only 260 pages but it took me forever to finish it. Two boys, Brian and Gregory, are caught up in a strange game while visiting an uncle. They have adventures and meet strange creatures. Even now I cannot really remember or understand what the point of the game was. The boys' characters were very undeveloped. I had a hard time remembering which boy was which -- they seemed interchangable. The great "ah hah!" at the end was -- underwhelming. Anderson was aiming at a gothic and sinister atmosphere but Spiderwick Chronicles and of course Lemony Snicket do it better. I am glad some kids liked the book but there is better stuff out there for fantasy readers.	negative
0	More Contemporary Country Grabage	My wife and I heard the Dixie Chicks on Good Morning America performing two of the songs from their new album. All of the political drama aside, the songs I heard were nothing more than contemporary pop country garbage. My wife, who is more of a Chicks fan than I agreed that it did not even sound like their type of music. Their first two albums showed merit and a touch of true country style. I wouldn't be surprised to see this album hitting the bargain bin very soon.	negative
0	Not my cup of tea	Anne Tyler spends way too much time telling about the tiniest details. This slows the story down so much, the reader loses the way. I liked the characters, but lost interest among the details.	negative
1	Dexter Fan	This was a awesome DVD collection. I can't wait for season 3 to come out. If you are a Dexter fan, this is a must have.	positive
1	Good product - nice vendor	Had trouble locating a replacement remote control locally. Found a vendor through Amazon that had them in stock so I placed the order and hoped for the best. The new remote control arrived in only 2 days after order placement and works perfectly. I could not be happier.	positive
0	One Arm away from no stars...	If you like over produced, slick MTV hair metalpop with band members who have strategically placed tears in their jeans this is for you. Me? I'll listen to Jane's Addiction's "Nothing Shocking" instead.	negative
1	THIS BOOK MOLDED MY FUTURE	It's funny, heartwarming and really involving. All thesefeelings I felt when I read it when I was 9 yrs. old. It'sso amazing how one can be so enterprising and witty at sucha young age! Tom definitely had an impact on me then and alwayswill! I grew up wishing to be like him...and I think I got mywish.EVERYONE: Grab this book, in fact, the whole GREAT BRAINseries as soon as you can. The little ones will love you forthis great gift!On a personal note: I lost all my GREAT BRAIN books to kidswho borrowed from me and never returned. Now that I'm 22 I'mvery happy to get a second chance to collect THE GREAT BRAIN SERIES!Victoria Miranda	positive
0	One of the worst book on Use Cases	One of the worst book I read so far on Use Cases. I read first and second chapters and found that author just confuses more then clarifying. Already returned it. Wondering how come this book received good star rating (the only reason I bought this book) when it is just a time waste.	negative
0	GPartED is free and supports NTFS	There's an open source program called GPartED, or Gnome Partition Editor. It's under the GNU General Public License version 3, which means it's absolutely free and legal to download and/or distribute.It will do NTFS and FAT32 so there is no reason to pay good money for this "Partition Magic" trash.	negative
1	Highly recommended.	I was so glad to see the price of Alli come back down to a reasonable level. I had stopped taking them for a while when the price "shot up," but I can certainly tell a difference now that they are back within reach.	positive
1	Great size	I use these pans to freeze ice blocks. They are larger than the average silicone loaf pans which gives me a larger ice block. They are a little floppy so they need to be supported on a sheet pan but they do the job that I purchased them for.	positive
0	be prepared for agro	I bought this camcorder two years ago, and it's needed to be repaired twice. Now the LCD monitor is broken. Samsung customer service is extremely poor and built around avoiding honoring the warranty at all costs	negative
0	poor purchase choice	The item was received in a timely manner however, not always do I immediately test it for error or damage. This time I should have, the movie only stated 'cannot be reviewed in this region'. What the heck does that mean?	negative

0	Some serious errors	At first I gave this book four stars because I found it easy to read and understand, but after reading it I did my research on setting up an S corporation in New York City, then I realized a big error in the very first chapter of the book: it says S corporations are not subject to New York State franchise tax, but this is totally untrue. S corps as well as LLCs are subject to the annual franchise tax of $325 or more. Plus, the book says nothing about after your corporation becomes a federal S corporation, you must also elect New York State S corporation status in order to get tax benefits at the state level.Anyway, the book covers a lot of topics but only very superficially and with other inaccuracies. Also very little information on county-specific issues.I do not recommend this book, for it will mislead you rather than educate you.	negative

This causes a rusty drip line after being weathered.I'm not certain if these are galvanized or not, but I will say that the hardware that came with the bracket does appear to be low quality.There is a butterfly nut on the side of the bracket that allows you so securely tighten the flag pole in which you insert.	positive

1	Challenging, encouraging, elightening!	I own this book, have read it a few times, and have heard one of the authors (Tara) speak. This is an amazing book! At first, I didn't think I needed to read it because I wasn't involved in any active conflicts at the moment. Don't let that deter you! This is a great book for any woman who wants to be a better friend, wife, mother, etc. It has opened my eyes to SO many Biblical truths. It has challenged me to reach out to others by understanding Christ's love for me.	positive
0	return of the grievous angel falls short of being a tribute	The untimely death of gram parsons was certainly a loss to the music world. luckilly, for those who were not alive or aware when gram was recording and performing, many of his recordings are still available. this tribute, masterminded by emmylou harris, who got her start with parsons as a back-up singer, falls sadly short of being a tribute. despite the inclusion of obvious graduates of the gram parsons schoolof songwriting (wilco and emmylou), and others certainly influenced by the late artist (lucinda williams, steve earle), this collection of parsons' songs seems to lack the soul of the originals. although the choice of material is good, the performances lack the mood and emotion that is so prevalent in the original recordings.	negative

Waste if time; waste of money

I should start by saying I didn't read the whole book. That's because I found it insulting that we were to believe this was a true biography. I resented the author passing off what he thought Gene Kelly must have been thinking during the AFI awards, I disliked the author painting Gene Kelly as mean-spirited and shallow. It was maddening to have the beginning of every chapter fractured with this conjecture. I considered this a total waste of money. Although I freely share my books with others, this book has been consigned to the role of doorstop.

Enlightened writing.........

The best films, books, theatre, etc. are always those which entertain while surreptitiously delivering a knock-out dose of good medicine.For those of you out there who are arrogant and haughty (you know who you are); for those who think mundane people, places and assignments are a punishment from the gods; for those who find few moments in life cause celebre'; in short, for those suffering from the same existential disease as this reviewer - you must buy this film. Watch it over and over (I promise you won't get bored) until you REALLY get it; it will save you at least 100,000 future lives.

Canon Armor

Fits very well and still maintains a reasonable sensitivity to the controls. If you are not familiar with the controls it is difficult to read the function on the armor. The battery pack that fits on the bottom of the Rebel XTi poses a challenge to fit after the armor is on. Requires some fusing to get it on. Over all, I am very pleased.

Thank Goodness it's [Allegedly] Over

I only read this awful book to see if all the five star reviews were right in saying it was better than that horrible piece of garbage, the Fifth Sorceress.Bottom Line: It's not. It's worse.This series started off with so much hype it would be almost impossible to live up to it, but Newcomb manages to make all the amateurish writing in the world seem professional by comparison. "Whump! Whump! Whump!" Oh for goodness' sake.Please, Robert Newcomb, like Ashlee Simpson, give up trying. It's not your field.

Breaks pretty quickly

Works OK when it works. Cumbersome startup and scanning software. Seems to use a lot of ink. But I was OK with that until it broke less than two years after I bought it. Then I found that Canon's user manual and website were practically worthless (nothing about the error code I got, which it turns out is pretty common when you Google it). They haven't got many authorized repair shops. I drove 30 minutes each way to have mine repaired, at a cost of $125 -- $35 for a new purge tank, and $90 labor. In retrospect, that was stupid -- I could have had a new machine just like this one for $250 and saved myself two hours of driving and a week without a printer. I wish I knew a better all-in-one to recommend, but I switched to this Canon after a very poor experience with an HP. So all I can say is this one is nothing great.

Well done movie about an intriguing historical theme...

This movie is a superb historical attempt to portray the Madness of King George III of England. It takes place shortly after the American Revolution, and combines a couple incidents in King George's life into a condensed time period. Although not 100% historically accurate, it is superbly done. Great acting, cast and sets. Nice movie for those interested in the time period or historically themed movies.

Fantastic! Totally works!

This is the best thing I've purchased in ages -- I can't believe I waited so long to get it. My mini poodle would bark every time someone passed my apartment door, which was okay during the day but NOT fun at 3 am! She barked once and then totally stopped -- now she'll make a small rumble-y noise, but no more middle-of-the-night barking at the front door for 5 minutes. The only negative is that the 25 ft range is definitely true -- she knows now that she can't bark by the front door, but she can bark in the living room. But it works so well that I'm buying a second one to put there!

Don't buy

I bought mine brand new and loved it. After 3 1/2 years of ownership the video card went out. A replacement card, if you can find one, is $950 plus installation. Do a google search and you will find this is a very common failure. I will never buy another samsung product again. I paid $3000 and it only lasted 3 1/2, that's pretty sad. Half of the screen would go black after 1/2 hours of being on. I'd turn it off for 5 mins. And the picture would come back.

I think that I am not alone in my opion that not even James Patterson, Dean Koontz or Stephen King cannot compare with the "blood letting" in this book.

Disappointing Patchwork

I was somewhat disappointed by this patchwork as it has no complete story at all. While the Moonbase and the Crusade offer Audio for the missing episodes there is no commentary so you are left to wonder what is happening in the silences.I expected more from the BBCThe episodes that are shown are captivating and do give an insight into the quality and occasional lack of quality that makes up Doctor Who.The Underwater Menace with its string transported Fish People and exaggerated evil madman was quite amusing.Yes the Show was great what a shame the DVD production is not.

Great Read

"Kokoro" is a very well written novel narrated by a Japanese college student who grew up in Japan during the end of the Meiji restoration period. It contained captivating characters who represented the struggles associated with attempting to build a bridge between the past and the present. It was written in a compelling and transfixing fashion that drew me into the world of the characters quickly and easily. It offered great insight into a significant period in Japanese history and into the psyche of the people of any nation as they experience a reformation in a way that would be interesting even to someone who did not enjoy history.

I wish there was a choice of 0 stars

First of all, the writing was boring and didn't flow naturally. I forced myself to keep reading. I've only ever had to do that one other time (with an Elizabeth Hand novel).Second, I was totally amazed with this book. I loved the part where an entire stadium full of people, and all the players (except one "heathen") at a Christian school disappeared all at once. I'm being facetious.I keep wondering what happens to all Jewish people (the chosen race, according to the Bible I grew up with). What about Mormons? Muslims? Are we so arrogant as to limit God's acceptance of different forms of worship? I, for one, as a believer in God, will NOT commit blasphemy and pretend to know the mind of God and what He will do.I found this book to be obnoxious; it didn't have either a Christian or Sci-Fi feel to me. It was just boring....

no Florida map

I only went on 2 paths described in this book. Both descriptions were adequate, interesting, with historical background,and the trail maps were nice and clear.

Also, there was no map of Florida to show where the different trails were.

LOVE these bags

I consider these diaper sacks an essential in our house - the scent is very light and not overpowering, which is good because I generally don't like lavender, and they truly do block odors. We put diapers in these and just throw them in our regular trash, with no lid, and there is no smell whatsoever. I have the travel dispenser from Sassy in my diaper bag but I prefer these sacks because the handles make them really easy to tie.

Works very well

This has performed very well - even after being accidentally dropped into the BBQ. Yes, the top came off from the heat, but we were easily able to squish it back on, and it's essentially back to its normal self. Seems to very accurately measure temperatures, and I have not found any problems with washing it. One caveat; it is not INSTANT instant read, but there is a very simple solution if you do not want to sit there holding it in your meat the entire cooking time. Just realize that the temperature will continue to rise, and take out your meat if the thermometer hits perhaps even 10 degrees below your preferred time (more or less, depending on your accepted range of doneness). We've never had such well-cooked meat before getting this...I highly recommend it.

Forgettable

"The Forgotten" looks like a bad episode of the X-Files or the Twilight Zone. A mother grieves the death of her young son, only to be told (by her therapist, her husband and the whole world) that the boy never existed. She forms an unlikely alliance with an alcoholic ex baseball player and the whole thing turns really, really ludicrous. Julianne Moore delivers, as usual, a wonderful performance, but not even her talent can rescue this silly movie.

My compliments to the photographer, but the content of this book is mighty thin. I thought I had finally found a book that would go beyond the basic pasta techniques and that would tell how to make noodles and dumplings. Burn my soul! This book has the basic pasta recipe along with a few recipes for sauces and such. There is nothing in this book that you won't find in a comprehensive cookbook like Betty Crocker. Spaetzle isn't even mentioned! Save your money, friends. Or wait a year until they sell the remainders for 50 cents.

still cronenberg's most terrifying movie

Videodrome is a sort of look at virtual reality but not in the way you would expect.. It is more of a look at perception and the drug like manifestations of technology on the mind.. One of Cronenbergs best and most startling movies - 'videodrome' will have you very wary of computers, television, and technology long after you thought you shook away the Kafka like anxiety of modern times.. Who knows maybe we are the victims of a similar plot (we really wouldn't know it if we were would we?).. All of Cronenberg's movies confront some aspect of hallucination and perception - making them almost abstract in their significance.

Just not worth it

We've had ours for over a year. At first I thought it was going to be very useful, but it has turned out to be more of a frustration than a useful device. It does very poorly on carpeted areas, and the front wheel gets bogged down with pet hair very quickly on any type of surface. You can't clean the front wheel as it doesn't detach, so your only option is to use a pair of tweezers on it. I found myself spending more time on cleaning the Roomba than using it. We quickly stopped using it for cleaning rooms and just use it for cleaning under the bed, where our vacuum will not fit. Today, it has decided to stop working after a few seconds of use, so I'm guessing it is the battery, although it shows having a full charge. Good luck in trying to get their Tech support to assist either on the phone or via email.

Great Stuff

I have pretty crappy skin genetics, so I have problems with ingrown hairs and clogged pores all the time. A common misconception is being dirty, but I shower daily and it makes no difference. I tried body scrubs, lotions, creams and peroxide and just nothing has seemed to work or help. My sister suggested I try this No Bump stuff because she has the same problems with her skin like I do. I was really surprised when I got it, because after a few days of application, my skin was clearing up, and I was having less issues. Now I will say, it does not completely clear up the blemishes, but it makes shaving so much easier and my legs don't have as many red bumps anymore. I like it.

repeat customer

This is the only lotion at a reasonable price that works on my hands. I have hard water at home and at work so i was constantly applying lotion every time I washed my hands. I was literally putting lotion on my hands around 15 times a day. My friend is a hairdresser and recommended Aveeno to me since her hands are always in water. I took her advice and I only have to reapply around 3 times a day. The smell isn't the greatest (I was hoping for the same smell as their nighttime eye cream) but it doesn't smell awful, I guess the best way to describe the smell is plain.

I returned two of these. The top portion is larger than the bottom and the quilting creates wrinkles & buckling that will not smooth out. You would expect a higher thread count for the money (felt like @ 180). Also, there was very little padding so you don't get what the pictures show.

Slim, dreary, and self-important...

I should have known I was in for a disappointment when Disco Bloodbath wound up so quickly on my used bookstore's shelf. But, knowing some of the people in the scene in those days, I thought I'd give it a try. Lordy, what a mess this book is. St. James has all the insight and self-knowledge of a Right-Wing Bible-belter. His self-importance and shallow worldview wouldn't matter so much if he was actually funny, but he gives us the same tired drag queen jokes and movie quotes I've been hearing since the 70's. The Alig story is one ripe for a good book, but honey, this isn't it. I paid half price for this thing, and still feel my money and time was wasted.

Way too brief...

"SUCCESSFUL SKETCHING" by Valerie Wiffen:I rate Valerie Wiffen's book only 1 star. At only 128 pages, the book covers not just "sketching" per se, but everything else related to sketching, but in BRIEF; there's brief architectural sketching, brief flower sketching, brief portraiture, brief figure sketching, and even brief still life. With such cursory treatment of each subject, how could anyone hope for success?The illustrations were uninspiring, and I found the overall flow of the book to be broken and disjointed from chapter to chapter. It's too short and requires expansion and more illustration. There are other, more thorough books on the market.

Painful to read

I selected this book to read as an independent choice for my Adolescent Literature course in college because I was interested in Arthurian Myth. After reading the introduction, I thought this author had the same passion and knowledge about Arthurian Myth as I did, and I hoped that this book would reflect that. Oh boy, was I wrong! This novel was painfully predictable, the plot seemed absolutely random, and many of the characters and events were so cliche that I laughed at loud. I felt like I was reading a 9th grader's first draft of a novel. I'll never read this author's work again.

This is very small & more the size of a charm than a pendant. Not what I was looking for.... I sent it back.

Rising star...

One of the finest voices to emerge in rock in recent times is the Norwegian born Jorn Lande,whose impressive CV includes his career with The Snakes(Neil Murray and Bernie Marsden from Whitesnake),his bands Millennium and the more experimental Ark,and his short stint with Yngwie Malmsteen,to name only a few of his accomplishments.This is his first solo album,comprising covers and originals:while his versions of the Journey and Deep Purple classics are nothing short of exceptional,the original songs present him as an accomplished songwriter in his own right.The overall musical tone of the album is one of fusing metal with progressive,blues and pop,all in the right amount for a great listening experience.

just awful. not happy at all

Terrible! Ordered this as a wedding gift. The Decanter looks like a chemistry beaker with pegs on it and the glass is so thin I was afraid it would break before we even got it to them. And the glasses are a neat concept, but are only slightly bigger than shot glasses. TOTAL waste of money! Had to go buy something else last minuet. Save your money and buy something else

I would not recomend this product

The picture was great but the sound card is junk. It failed after only 3 months. The local retailer I purchased it fromhas also gone out of business.

Exactly what you think of, when you think of white tacks

As the title says, these are the quintessential white-plastic-topped thumbtacks. I used them to hang a dry-erase calendar on my office wall, and they did the job well.

Nah...

First of all, it was expensive, second, there isn't anything in this book that isn't already easily accessible on the web.The tutorials did not go as smoothly as planned, even though I've been using PhotoShop for 4 years now. (Important) Steps seemed to be missing, and without them, you may as well not finish the tutorial.I've had this book for over a year, and to tell you the truth, the tutorials compiled in this book may very well be considered "tacky and overused." I suggest resourcing the web for the latest and greatest in special effects.

Unnecessary Gadget

After using the Pilot for several months I found it easier to go back to my dayrunner. While the Pilot is smaller and lighter to carry, it is too tedious to enter data and retrieve the same.

Mediocre

This book is only 260 pages but it took me forever to finish it. Two boys, Brian and Gregory, are caught up in a strange game while visiting an uncle. They have adventures and meet strange creatures. Even now I cannot really remember or understand what the point of the game was. The boys' characters were very undeveloped. I had a hard time remembering which boy was which -- they seemed interchangable. The great "ah hah!" at the end was -- underwhelming. Anderson was aiming at a gothic and sinister atmosphere but Spiderwick Chronicles and of course Lemony Snicket do it better. I am glad some kids liked the book but there is better stuff out there for fantasy readers.

More Contemporary Country Grabage

My wife and I heard the Dixie Chicks on Good Morning America performing two of the songs from their new album. All of the political drama aside, the songs I heard were nothing more than contemporary pop country garbage. My wife, who is more of a Chicks fan than I agreed that it did not even sound like their type of music. Their first two albums showed merit and a touch of true country style. I wouldn't be surprised to see this album hitting the bargain bin very soon.

Not my cup of tea

Anne Tyler spends way too much time telling about the tiniest details. This slows the story down so much, the reader loses the way. I liked the characters, but lost interest among the details.

Good product - nice vendor

Had trouble locating a replacement remote control locally. Found a vendor through Amazon that had them in stock so I placed the order and hoped for the best. The new remote control arrived in only 2 days after order placement and works perfectly. I could not be happier.

One Arm away from no stars...

If you like over produced, slick MTV hair metalpop with band members who have strategically placed tears in their jeans this is for you. Me? I'll listen to Jane's Addiction's "Nothing Shocking" instead.

One of the worst book on Use Cases

One of the worst book I read so far on Use Cases. I read first and second chapters and found that author just confuses more then clarifying. Already returned it. Wondering how come this book received good star rating (the only reason I bought this book) when it is just a time waste.

GPartED is free and supports NTFS

There's an open source program called GPartED, or Gnome Partition Editor. It's under the GNU General Public License version 3, which means it's absolutely free and legal to download and/or distribute.It will do NTFS and FAT32 so there is no reason to pay good money for this "Partition Magic" trash.

I was so glad to see the price of Alli come back down to a reasonable level. I had stopped taking them for a while when the price "shot up," but I can certainly tell a difference now that they are back within reach.

Great size

I use these pans to freeze ice blocks. They are larger than the average silicone loaf pans which gives me a larger ice block. They are a little floppy so they need to be supported on a sheet pan but they do the job that I purchased them for.

The item was received in a timely manner however, not always do I immediately test it for error or damage. This time I should have, the movie only stated 'cannot be reviewed in this region'. What the heck does that mean?

Some serious errors

At first I gave this book four stars because I found it easy to read and understand, but after reading it I did my research on setting up an S corporation in New York City, then I realized a big error in the very first chapter of the book: it says S corporations are not subject to New York State franchise tax, but this is totally untrue. S corps as well as LLCs are subject to the annual franchise tax of $325 or more. Plus, the book says nothing about after your corporation becomes a federal S corporation, you must also elect New York State S corporation status in order to get tax benefits at the state level.Anyway, the book covers a lot of topics but only very superficially and with other inaccuracies. Also very little information on county-specific issues.I do not recommend this book, for it will mislead you rather than educate you.

No Single Pole instructions

Has instructions for 3-way switch, but nothing for single pole. I'm still floundering around the Leviton website trying to find directions.

Awesome

At first I found the characters hard to like and very bland, but they grew on me. There is a good plot to the story and surprise twists throughout. While cheesy and unrealistic, I still found it to be fantastic.

durable pole mount

The brackets were cast well and the powder coated finish was performed well enough.The brackets are heavy duty. I would expect them to handle the outdoor elements with no problems.Definitely have some spare mounting hardware available.All too often the screws that are provided for these brackets aren't galvanized. This causes a rusty drip line after being weathered.I'm not certain if these are galvanized or not, but I will say that the hardware that came with the bracket does appear to be low quality.There is a butterfly nut on the side of the bracket that allows you so securely tighten the flag pole in which you insert.

Nothing..........

I've had peels at the dermatologist's office before so maybe that was the problem. The strengths of these peels definitely do not compare. No tingling, no nothing. I have to step up the strength or maybe use an unbuffered version I guess.

Great Book

I purchased this book for my daughter, now 7, about a year ago. We read it often; now she reads it to me. For a little girl who badly wants a pet, this is a great substitute for the time being. This book has a great story-line and fun pictures.

Just can't care about this book

I put this book on my kindle a while ago and have read book after book since just can't seem to care enough to finish this. This book doesn't even hold my attention long enough to read, there is always something more entertaining to do, vacuum, sort laundry., Maybe, some day, if I'm stuck with nothing else to do, and am unable to download another book I might just finish it. Maybe.

Challenging, encouraging, elightening!

I own this book, have read it a few times, and have heard one of the authors (Tara) speak. This is an amazing book! At first, I didn't think I needed to read it because I wasn't involved in any active conflicts at the moment. Don't let that deter you! This is a great book for any woman who wants to be a better friend, wife, mother, etc. It has opened my eyes to SO many Biblical truths. It has challenged me to reach out to others by understanding Christ's love for me.

return of the grievous angel falls short of being a tribute

The untimely death of gram parsons was certainly a loss to the music world. luckilly, for those who were not alive or aware when gram was recording and performing, many of his recordings are still available. this tribute, masterminded by emmylou harris, who got her start with parsons as a back-up singer, falls sadly short of being a tribute. despite the inclusion of obvious graduates of the gram parsons schoolof songwriting (wilco and emmylou), and others certainly influenced by the late artist (lucinda williams, steve earle), this collection of parsons' songs seems to lack the soul of the originals. although the choice of material is good, the performances lack the mood and emotion that is so prevalent in the original recordings.

To Please a Lady

I have always enjoyed susan johnson's books, she has written some very good books in the past, but i was deeply disappointed with this one. There seemed to be very little in a storyline to the book. The characters were somewhat flat and at the end of the book, I was just a little baffled as to why it took that many pages for the story. but i did keep reading in vain that the story would pick up. Hopefully this is the only book i'll be disappointed with in her catalog.

Well written but meaningless

Found my 12 year-old daughter reading this so my Wife read it also. Well written for the intended audience but absolutely full of channeling and past life stuff.If you're a parent concerened with ideas of past life regression, chanelling and other mystic junk portrayed as *fact* (with some biblical attribution to make it sound "offcial" thrown in..) then please be aware of what your child is reading when they pick up this book. If they read it you must also - if only to explain what's wrong with the "facts" in the book.
