0	Would be nice if it stayed bright	My first issue with this flashlight is that after installing batteries, it would not turn on. I checked to make sure the batteries were in correctly which they were and after a few shakes and taps it lit up. Seemed nice at first, very bright and a nice cone of light. Then it started to dim and it appeard half the LED's were not working. Another tap and they lit back up but then continued to dim or flicker. Seems like pretty poor quality to me as some other reviewers have the same issues. I would not recommend this flashlight.	negative
1	My favorite new cookbook	I can't say enough good things about this cookbook. Every recipe draws my interest and after a week of entertaining I can report every recipe from the book that I have tried is a winner. Start with the cherry almond biscotti and move on to the Tuscan Chicken with a Roasted Corn Salad with Avocado Vinagrette. I usually design a single menu from recipes from different sources,however there is enough in this book to keep me busy for awhile.	positive
0	Poor Quality Binding	The book itself was a good read. BUT it fell apart on me the first time I picked it up to read it. I sent it back to Amazon and it was replaced promptly but the replacement book fell apart too. This is a book that I would like to use for future reference. I have it held together with a rubber band at the moment! :(	negative
0	A pain in the butt	This bag seemed like a great idea in theory but in practice, I ended up just having to returned a damaged item. Before I even managed to put the stroller inside of the bag before getting on the plane, the bag tore on the side all the way down. So much for that and keeping my stroller safe. Not worth the time and effort sadly	negative
1	THIS IS THE FUNNYEST MOVIE I HAVE SEEN IN A WHILE	WHAT CAN I SAY ABOUT THIS MOVIE. YOU WILL LAUGH AND LAUGH AND LAUGH SOME MORE. IT NEVER STOPS WITH THE LAUGHS! BUY IT!	positive
1	Very nice tv	i think this tv is a very good buy. it has very good picture with he component inputs hooked up to my 360. i overall think this tv is very good. recommended by me and my best friend	positive
0	Great Coffee, No Durability	I had read some reviews of the various Keurig coffeemakers prior to buying one. Generally, people were happy with the coffee, but several people mentioned that they don't last. I went ahead and bought one anyway. It has made great tasting coffee - I love having a fresh cup whenever I want, within a minute or two. However, mine no longer functions correctly, only six months after purchase. Given the cost of the coffeemaker and the k-cups, and it's short lifespan, I would not call it a great value.	negative
0	Unbelieveable.	I read this book and then consigned it to File 13. I have never seen such an obvious effort by an ungrateful child to "get even" with her mother. It's a festival of petty griping all the way through. The jealousy and resentment are pathetic. I must agree with a comment that I heard when this trashy book first came out.The comment (from a party who was there):"BALONEY!"	negative
0	Bad Design	We had one of these, and I can tell you that the design on this is really really poor and not well thought out. How much do they want for it again. Samsung is Korean based comany everything is expensive. I gave away this bluetooth for 10 bucks. It was a bad purchase. The conductors is pressed next to your face.	negative
1	Battery Tender Alligator clips	The Battery Tender Alligator clips allow me to charge a battery without having to install the ring type terminals on the positive and negative posts. I can also charge a battery without having to remove it from a vehicle or removing the cables from the battery. A very handy item to use with my Deltran 4-bank charger.	positive
0	They should have included the original version too	If they had included the original version with this it would be awesome. The extras are nice to see what other ideas they bounced around but never used, but the extra footage in the movie itself ruins it. Some movies cut scenes because of time, but others cut them because they are horrible and take away from the movie. Its amazing what 6 minutes can do.	negative
0	Dint get the results as promised	this acne treatment works very good on skin, makes your skin smoother and helps fight dryness, but didnt work on acne, not at all....	negative
1	Good Quality for the Price	I ordered this belt to carry extra shells for my 20 gauge and the shells fit perfectly, but when I put 12 gauge in the slots it stretches the elastic to the max so be careful. The belt itself is made of good quality for the price and can allow for a sidearm holster to clip onto either side if you're in the field. The only real flaw is that there is a lot of extra belt hanging off after tightening it so that seems to get in the way and should have some sort of loop to put it through.	positive
0	My Big Fat Ethnic Stereotype Movie	Incredibly dumb. It plays all the same "humor" notes you would expect from a film like this, and almost none of them are actually funny. Not nearly funny enough. An incomplete script. Missing true conflict in favor of feel-good over-the-top camaraderie and tired jokes from twenty other similar films. Way too obvious. It's "My Big Fat [enter particular ethnicity here] Tank Corps Rolls Over All Those Not Lucky Enough To Be Us." The whites are like pieces of windblown paper (they're "toast people" in the picture). The groom, John Corbett, is just a foil for the juggernaut of Greek vitality and the pushy rightness of all swarthy people over the wimpy, culture-challenged unswarthy. It's not just that the Greeks are ridiculous stereotypes, that's how these kinds of movies work. It's the casting of the whites as these cold, dumfounded, inferior people with no "ethnicity." If you really look at this thing clearly, it's creepy and racist.	negative
1	Tak Ah Lah	A wonderful tale full of horror and insanity. A group of people driving by the town of Desperation, Nevada, are stopped by Collie Entragian, a Desperation Police Officer, and are brought into the town to fight the ultimate battle against evil with the help of the praying boy, eleven-year-old David Carver. This story is very interesting, especially at the beginning. It starts off strong and loses the reader a little towards the middle, but if you read this, don't give up on it. It is long, but the end is fantastic. A few of the characters such as Johnny Marinville and David Carver are amazingly crafted. The scene where Entragian pulls over Marinville is also very comical. A fun story with a few scary parts. Classic King.	positive
1	Bartok's Gothic Opera	While I cannot repeat what the other review states, I can only say that he seems to be wrong about Samuel Ramey being Hungarian. Soprano Eva Marton is Hungarian and is doing a marvelous job as the newest victim of the devilish Bluebeard. The story is dark and symbolic. Bluebeard (not Bluebeard the Pirate) is a wealthy property owner who lives in a foreboding castle. He has just married wife No. 3. He warns her not to wander to a certain part of the castle. Naturally, curiosity gets the best of her and she searches the forbidden area despite his orders. What she finds there reveals a darker side to her husband. Eva Marton has a huge voice that fully captures every nunance of this character. Ramey has a terrific voice with all the right earthy and devilish tone for the part. Adam Fischer conducts Hungarian forces in Bartok's great work of Gothic and surreal drama.	positive
0	I wish I had waited - this pillow is not comfortable for a baby	My daughter is 10 months old and I bought this for her the month before she was born. So far, it is WAY too big for her. When I put it around her neck, her head is propelled forward in an uncomfortable position. Imagine using one of those Boppys in the car around your neck and you get the picture.As far as construction goes, very plush and fairly high quality. It came exactly as pictured.I wish I had waited until she was born because I think it would have been obvious to me that this is unnecessary. I am hoping that in a few years this will be the right size and she can get some use out of it. So far, it just sits at the bottom of her toy box.	negative
1	The dictionary definition of 'rip-roaring'	Exactly that. It's over-long, badly written, and you still don't care because you just HAVE to know what's over the next page. Just a shame that the wait for the next (hopefully concluding) volume is so long.	positive
0	Henley Fizzles Solo	I love Don Henley but I love him with the Eagles. In this show, once you get past the Nehru jacket, the orange hair & the dark glasses, he barely tries to give anything resembling a performance. He stands there looking smug, virtually saying to his audience 'don't I write great lyrics' and 'I'm a great singer, aren't I'. The appallingly offhand version of The Heart Of The Matter has been swamped by the Eagles' Hell Freezes Over version. What he does to his most famous song, Hotel California, beggars belief. Those legendary gravel-lined vocal chords are no more than adequate. And perhaps this is being petty, but the anonymous band are given two separate credits for a 'Musical Director' and a 'Band Leader', both of which, when Henley is in his rightful place with the Eagles, are handled by someone called G. Frey, without a credit.	negative
1	Ragga's debut	This is a wonderful album - as I expected it to be. Great blend of Roots Reggae, together with music of a Dancehall Riddim, but with spiritual / social commentary lyrics (of course)Great debut by the Raggamuffin!!!	positive
1	cutting-edge thriller	Glahn and Cutrer have created a thrilling, moving, and frighteningly believable world in 'Lethal Harvest.' Once I started reading it I couldn't put it down. The authors aren't afraid of controversial topics -- this book will make you think, and will force you to take another look at how genetic research is being conducted today. If you liked the sci-fi movie 'Gattaca' you will love this book. I strongly recommend it.	positive
1	Pretty good	I liked this book. It was rather interesting. It's about this total wacko--Iggy-Boy--killing different people in this fraternity and stalking this girl named Casey. The story flows pretty easily, and all the suspects pointing to who Iggy-Boy actually is are pretty varied. But in the end, it gets really confusing, and you never really know if Iggy-Boy is just some guy or not. I got lost. Anyhoo, the story was okay, and I suggest looking in used bookstores for it. It's okay, I guess. Not very scary, really. At some points, though, it's pretty good. Anyhoo, this is an okay book.	positive
0	This thing is LOUD!	I replaced the power supply on my 3 year old Dell XPS computer. This Diablo power supply is pretty loud, way louder that the Dell (which by the way was whisper quiet). This thing weighs half as much as my Dell power supply, which tells me that it is cheaply made. I guess you get what you pay for (under $20).I'm going to keep it for now just because my desktop is only a backup computer and I only turn it on once every 2 weeks or so. If you're purchasing this unit to install on a computer that is constantly running next to you, and you were used to a silent system, do yourself a favor and spend a little more money to save your sanity!	negative
1	Probably the last good season of this show...	I've been a big fan of the show from the beginning so it's hard for me to admit, but this show has lost a lot of momentum. Season six was weak and rehashed a lot of the same old subject matter and the final season has been fragmented and uninteresting to say the least. While I am disappointed in the way the show has ended, up until that point it is quite good so I still recommend seasons one through five.	positive
0	replacement dog door	It was not the right one but we customized it to fit too much trouble to send back and would have cost way to much.	negative
1	Great Movie	If you have seen the first two movies you must see this one. Seen it in the theater, but have to watch it at home from time to time.	positive
0	Worse than expected	This dreadful film--amateurish to the point of laughter--is an example of the inferiority of Twentieth Century Fox Chan films. For real style and laughs, watch the cheapie Monogram Chan movies with Mantan Moorland and Willie Best. The fact that these films are politically incorrect, adds to their appeal.	negative
0	a nickle or two	if i had a nickle for every time i had listened this CD striaght through without skipping a track i would have... a nickle or two! The fact of the matter is that it has a couple of songs worth a listen, but they arent numerous enough to warrent the cost of the CD. A bit of a disapointment. There are also alot of bands who are better and more consistant, my advice... buy one of their albums.Over all it has but a few reasons why u would want to buy it:1. You are a die hard fan of theirs (highly unlikely)2. The head of the Russian mafia has a gun to your head(slightly more likely)3. For keeping the King of England out of your face (just play "Down Poison" and he'll run(a decent reason but u will also suffer))4. As an expensive coaster (nuff said)	negative
0	Couldn't bare to open it	This book wasn't helpful for me at all. I read it to do a book report for my Econ class, and I couldn't have been more disppointed. It seemed to me that he was repeating everything that he had already said in the chapters before. Not a very good insight on what was going on. I got lost several times while I was trying to read it, and everytime I read my goal amount of pages I was extatic that I didn't have to read anymore. I honestly felt sick every time I hade to open it. It could have been so much better, and better written.	negative
0	Wake Me Up When It is Over...	This book was already only like 60 pages to begin with, but because you skip around it makes it like 2 pages. It was so boring that I fell asleep, and I am not joking!	negative
0	Save your money	I've spent a long time looking for a copy of this movie at an affordable price, and was surprised when I found it in a double pack. The package descibes it as digitally remasterd, it's not. And the worst part is the movie cuts off during the final fight scene, maybe 90 seconds left in the movie and it jumps back to the menu screen.	negative
1	As great as advertised	These shoes are every bit as great as described. They're snug in the heel & arch, and roomy in the toes, even going downhill. Traction is great; lightweight but grippy treads. The cushioning is remarkable -- very springy, even under the forefoot, which feels great on those pounding downhills. The shoes are well ventilated: mesh in the toes as well as along the sides. A great trail shoe with a good fit, and a really comfortable ride.	positive
0	ABSOLUTE JUNK!!!	This dog trainer is WORTHLESS!!! I purchased it hopes of somehow stopping the continual barking of the dogs next door and NOTHING!!! I then tried the product on over a dozen dogs in the area, and again, no reponse. The trainer is cheap plastic, and the belt holder piece has a fake screw on it. The toys in McDonald's Happy Meals are of higher quality than this item. If you truly want this item, just stand in the wind and rip up your dollars one at a time-it will be more effective at stopping barking.	negative
1	The Best Mortal Kombat EVER!!!	I think this movie was better than the first one with all the action in the fights and that there were more characters. The special effects were awesome! Nuff said! BUY THE MOVIE!!!!!!1	positive
1	great book on a weird community	This is one of these books that you can't put down. So many great characters in this one. And the whole journey that the author took to write this book, is simply exciting, interesting and funny.A great read that can possibly change a mans perspective on dating!	positive
0	Even the Transfer Looks Dim	The many critics of this film, both in the national press and on Amazon, are right, in spades; De Palma's picture's one of the weakest of his wildly uneven career. I'm a great fan of THE MAN WHO LAUGHS, but I defy anyone unfamiliar with that film to sort out its use in the present plot. And the dialogue's so ridiculously stilted and stuffed with bad noir pastiche jargon, it's frequently well-nigh incomprehensible. Poor, talented Fiona Shaw and the usually capable Scarlett Johansson will survive the wreck -- but please, can't we put Josh Harnett out of his (and our) misery? He's lame enough in contemporary pictures, but in period material, he's so lightweight he vanishes onscreen in a crowd of two. Reading the other pans, I'm surprised nobody's ragged on the quality of the transfer. Universal generally does well with its DVDs, but my copy of this film had a greyed tone, lacking true, deep blacks -- surely an unforgivable sin for neo-noir! What a missed opportunity.	negative
1	Good quality!!!	Good quality, and great books to have it at home, and after you done with it will looks great in your bookshelf, until your next generation would be able to enjoy it too.	positive
1	It's All About The Bike	I AM A SENIOR IN HIGH SCHOOL AND WAS GIVEN THE ASSIGNMENT OF READING A NOVEL ON A CONTEMPORARY ISSUE; CANCER BEING ONE OF THE MANY LISTED. I CHOSE TO READ LANCE'S BOOK AND READ IT COVER TO COVER IN ABOUT 2 HOURS. THE PROJECT WAS SUPPOSED TO LAST ABOUT 8 WEEKS. OOOPS! THE BOOK WAS VERY POWERFUL TO ME SEEING AS HOW MY MOTHER HAD CANCER, MY STEP-FATHER MOUNTAIN BIKE RACES, AND I LOVE READING. THE BOOK IS GREAT AND I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT TO ALL WHO READ THIS!!! :)	positive
1	Movado Woman's Portico Watch	This was a Christmas present; and they were very happy with the Movado watch. Would recommend this item to anyone who wants the quality of a Movado.	positive
1	Joshua and Iran	This was a very interesting book. It is the first time that I have read one based on a Canadian. I enjoyed it, even though it was dry in a couple of spots.	positive
0	One Year License Trap	The license schema avoids its use after the end of the year. Take care not to be caught in this trap. By the way, it leaves in your HD all the files WITHOUT the indices so that you cannot even guess where the descriptions are.	negative
1	Awesome Gloves	I bought these gloves before I started a big project on my house involving framing and demolition. I bought these gloves because Mechanix Wear has been around for along time in the NASCAR scene and I figured if the pit crews wear them, I should try out their hardware line. In short, the gloves performed amazingly. I used them for a ton of jobs and they showed little signs of wear. As long as you buy the glove to fit the job, you won't have any problems!!! Highly recommended!	positive
1	David luvs S Club 7	I absolutly luv S Club 7. I couldn't find this cd in any store. It's the best CD I have at the present time. DSM is my favorite song. Go S Club."Don't Stop Movin' to the S Club beat"	positive
1	Happy again with my purchase	The service and condition of this special book was perfect. The shipment, the book and the price was all that I could ask for.. Great happiness here with my book.Thanks,Rick	positive
0	Snore	About 90 minutes into this movie I turned to my lover and said 'This is the worst movie I've ever seen.'And I've seen some pretty bad movies, believe me!	negative
0	Warning!! This is NOT Paranormal Activity 3!	Well, I finally fell for one. I saw the cover art, the font style, "..ormal Activity 3" and hit the Rent button. I thought I was renting Paranormal Activity 3, but they got me. I just spent my money on ABNORMAL Activity 3.I guess this is a spoof on the Paranormal Activity series, but so far (15min in) it's not worth the $2. Maybe the rest of it will be interesting enough to be background noise for a lazy Saturday afternoon.We'll see......Nope. Despite one or two scenes that made me chuckle, this was a poorly done movie; worse than a 1st year film student.I wonder if someone could create a spam filter for video rentals. I'll just have to read title's and descriptions more carefully in future.	negative
0	Phonics Read & Rhyme	Really awful program. I only purchased it because the school also uses it. The Karoke section makes no sense and it says to play a song, but then none of the buttons are enabled to play one. I called tech support and they said this is the way it's supposed to work until the child accumulates tickets. My daughter accumulated all of the tickets, but it still doesn't play any songs in the clubhouse.	negative
0	Josh as a Rocker???	Ooooh. I never thought this would happen. Josh Groban with the most beautiful voice on earth, now a rocker?? Or whatever he's supposed to be cause I'm not sure. Josh doesn't even look like he's doing what he really wants to do. The strain of all the stupid concerts and trying to make everyone but himself happy is really showing in his voice. Let's get the original Josh back and dump the slacker I see at the Greek. I didn't buy it either, but I'm hoping to get the next CD. I'm also hoping that the old Josh comes back. Who wants a DVD with a bunch of sloppy silly old women doing lots of screaming???? Not me fer sure.	negative
0	Tedious and boring	Put this stinkburger down after 80 pages. I wanted o disembowel myself to stop themind-numbing monotony. Way too much meaningless detail and tedious descriptions ofcrap that never mattered or moved the story along.Almost as bad as James Lee Burke filling page after page with repititive scene andlandscape descriptions to get to 300 pages.Wambaugh is definitely not a Caunitz or even aMahoney but he's light years away from Sandford who is my favorite.	negative
1	Itty Bitty hats	I have done several hat patterns in this book, easy to follow and clearly written. I would recommend this book can be easily done by beginners as well as more experienced.	positive
0	Cheap rubbish	Why do I always fall for this junk? The photo on Amazon.com was misleading. I thought this was going to be a container for pins with a magnet built in. I nearly broke the thing, trying to open it. It is nothing more than cheap hollow plastic with a piece of magnet behind it. I purchased it for more than it is now selling for on Amazon.com. To be honest with you, they should be paying people to take them off their hands. Save your money, no matter how cheaply they are selling them.	negative
1	A Must Have....	This is a great book! It is easy to reference and easy to read. I use it all the time with questions I have about my kids sleep, diet, discipline, illness.... If you have a toddler, buy this book!	positive
0	AWFUL	Product was so poorly packaged (delivered by Pilot) and subsequently damaged in transit, that it could not be assembled once delivered. Trying to schedule the return with Amazon and Pilot proved to be virtually impossible and the customer service we received was incredibly bad. I will think twice before ordering any large item from Amazon again, especially those made by Delta.	negative
1	Works Great just check it daily	Have a vacation farm where the little buggers get in all the time. Not fond of the stink and damage not to mention the noise of them running around the attic at night. So tried the old fashioned kind and actually fell asleep in a chair then woke up to one eating the peanut butter off the trigger and never set off the trap. So ran out and purchased the Victor Electronic and they work great, This is a better mousetrap. Would have given it a 5 Star but it will use up lots of batteries. Plus the worse thing is if you are gone for a few weeks then the dead bugger fuses to the metal plates and man does it stink. It cannot be cleaned easy so have tossed out more than a few of these and not cheap. Going to upgrade to the newer multi kill and hope that helps. If you can check it every day then it is the best.	positive
0	Nice hardware, but Mio won't sell you maps of other countries	I have grown to like this little unit quite a bit, but I have discovered that I made a bad assumption when I bought it. When I saw that the maps were on SD cards, I figured I would just be able to buy maps for other regions when I needed them. Not so, it turns out. I actually called Mio tech support to see where I could buy a map of Canada for my next trip to Toronto, and I was told that "foreign" maps won't work in the US units. The telephone rep had been pretty polite up to that point, but when I said I certainly wouldn't buy a a Mio in the future, because they aren't much use to folks who need to travel to Canada, she got kind of snippy. She said "Well, that's your choice," and then added "You can buy a separate Mio Canadian unit."Yeah... or I could just buy a GPS that lets me install new maps.Steer clear of this one folks. It's not worth the "savings."	negative
1	Legal at last--bring on seasons 2 & 3!	Being a librarian, I try my darnest to honor copyright laws and therefore despite great desire have not purchased this set via bootleg copies. How wonderful to finally have it out! Still great fun. Bring on seasons 2 & 3! I'm missing some of my fave episodes.	positive
0	What???	This movie was HORRIBLE! Neither myself or my 10 year old could make it all the way through this movie. It was very poorly written and acted, it was boring and half the time it didn't make any sense!	negative
0	Save Your Money For Halo!!!!!	How are you going to make a military game and not be able to shoot. C'mon now, this game doesn't even compare to Ghost Recon. This is more like a Playstation 2 game, with it being slow paced and boring. If you want more for your money go out and buy Shrek 2. I returned my copy and saving for Ghost Recon 2 and Halo 2. Notice the pattern (lucky #2), if we're lucky Full Spectrum Warrior 2 will be a lot better (e.g. being able to shoot!).	negative
0	Helpful but very outdated	When this book was released in 1998, it was a very helpful resource that made the navagation of the L.A. private school morass less complex and far less stressful. My problem with the book today lies simply in the fact that it has not been updated in five years and much of the information about the schools in the book is quite outdated. Whether it be enrollment figures, tuition costs, or even the very culture of many of the schools themselves, much has changed in Los Angeles private schools since this book was published just as much has changed in Los Angeles. A new edition reflecting these many changes is long overdue and hopefully forthcoming.	negative
1	Good Movie	Was a little hard to follow at first but once it got into itit was a good movie. I would recommend the movie and the seller to a friend.	positive
1	A great stage for moral lessons	The road is the middle of a long story. Its about a father and son struggling to find a place to call home. No explanation of how the collapse of civilization took place. Also, there is little hope for a rebuild of some order. interesting but a bit depressing.	positive
0	Don't buy it!!	I have used Turbo Tax Deluxe for years. After unsuccessfully trying to use it this year, I will never buy it again. The updates aren't availabe for downloading, to print your forms, you have to download the fonts, to talk to customer service/technical help they put you on hold for over a hour and not helpful at all. Turbo Tax uses Outsourcing as everyone I did manage to talk to are in India. The whole program is useless. They have lost another customer.	negative
0	just like jordan way overrated	everything it seems involving jordan is overrated and this film is no exception to the rules.very boring and one of the worst cartoon films ever period.and how do you mess up a cartoon film? just ask jordan.	negative
1	Good for beginners	I am definitely not a fitness freak and am just starting to get back into exercise. This is a good video for people like myself. I was sore after my first workout. Beginners do need to be wary of Amy Bento's tendency to pulse and bounce during her routine. Scientific research has shown this is damaging to joints. As long as you know not to do this, this is a good beginners workout. You can add more weight and you progress.	positive
1	Classic soul with a jazzy touch from a living legend.	This CD contains Lou's PIR debut,"All Things In Time", which was one of the 1970s five best R&B albums as well as his 1980 release "Sit Down And Talk To Me". The former album was much stronger than the latter, but Lou Rawls is one of the few singers with whom it's almost impoosible to make a bad record with ( so buy it despite its flaws!).	positive
1	Remember Playing With This!	I'm 30 years old and I remember playing with this exact shape sorter when I was a toddler. It must be one of my earliest memories, though we kept it around for baby visitors long after I outgrew it. Obviously, it held up great and I can't wait to get one for my youngest. I wish I had thought of it for my two older kiddos. I know they would have enjoyed playing with it. Actually, my three year old could probably benefit from practicing her motor skills with this toy. Five stars for sure!!!	positive
0	Breaks too easily.	A wonderful device, BUT I've now used three of them before giving up. The general design is quite good. However, the suction cups at the end of the graber break or just fall off. They are good enough to pickup a dime but with continued use eventually they fall off. I tried jiffy-glue but the screws go into a plastic bushing, which fractures.	negative
0	Absolutely Useless	I've been using the Kinerase facial cream for many years and really love it, so when I started seeing fine lines under my eyes, I thought I'd try their "eye rescue." What a disappointment. This creme did absolutely nothing. It's just an overpriced moisturizer that did NOT deliver on it's claim of improving fine lines and puffiness. I should have saved the $75 I spent and just used the regular face cream under my eyes instead. For that matter, a cheap bottle of hand lotion would have produced the same results (or lack thereof). Don't believe the hype. Save your money!	negative
1	Great Bible!	I absolutely love this Bible! The notes are easy to read and really expound the scriptures so that anyone can understand them. I recommend it to anyone looking for a good study Bible.	positive
1	I thought that he created a wonderful world and climax.	I simply devouered his tale as it unravelled before me. He created an interesting world with a wonderful plot, and I like those kinds of books. It was an epic tale that depicted this girl going out to fufill her destiny. This book follows the footsteps of novels like The Hobbit, and The Golden Compass. I can't say it enough times, but I loved this book.	positive
0	Sarah's Key	A gripping story of how the French let down their own Jewish citizens.Movie very convoluted and confusing. The book is much better especially having to read sub titles while trying to keep up with the story line.	negative
1	Straight from Tuscan Women	This is wonderful. The women of Tuscany lovingly eat only the freshest fruits and vegetables so that they can bring you this amazing product. They are pampered in day-spas and only listen to classical music. Now, you can enjoy the fruits of their production. All women who produce this product are supermodels. Don't you and your children deserve the very best?	positive
0	For god's sake Laurell, go back to Anita!!!!!	Let me start off by saying that I am a big fan of Laurell K Hamilton--I have all of her Anita Blake books, and I even LOVED Kiss of Shadows. However, this book is seriously ridiculous. Hamilton has ruined the great start she had with Kiss of Shadows. I mean, Merry and Kitto? That is beyond perverse, not to mention how she disgraces Doyle in creating such a silly, insulting, and basically racist family history for him. It's so bad that it's embarassing to admit that I ever read it.	negative
0	One of his worst	This book seems almost like a bet someone made with Stephen King. They wanted to see just how good he was. "Can you write a whole book about a woman lying on a bed?"Any other author would have gotten a 1 on a book that goes nowhere and has very little happen. Stephen King just didn't have enough to work with. This was perhaps more of a character study, a chance to get into someone's head and see what they can learn about themselves from extremely stressful conditions. People who like artsy foreign films will probably love it. For someone like me who's more interested in a good story, I spent the whole book wondering when something significant would happen. I only bothered to finish the book because I kept thinking that some radical twist would put it all into a new perspective but I was dead wrong. Gerald's Game would have been an excellent short story, or a "MacGyver" episode. But stretching this 20 page plot into a full book made it painfully slow and boring.	negative

0	1 star is generous...	Like many others, I watched this movie because the story sounded interesting enough, the flashy cover reminded me movies I'd seen previously and big Zach was right up front. That guy is pure comedic gold, right? RIGHT?Wrong...While Zach's minor time on the screen playing the same aloof, out of touch character as always fits him...the rest of the movie was unfortunately a waste. And while there will be defenders of this film claiming that this is a black comedy, the only thing that's black is the hole in my soul where happiness used to reside until this movie devoured it.I kept watching with the hope that somehow the movie would eventually redeem itself. With a cast like this you'd think SOMEONE could make this movie worthwhile.In the end I'm left wishing the cover would have been as bland as the movie and saved myself the torture of watching it...At least there's still hope for you. Flee now!	negative
0	bad book dumb writer	from the reviews i have read of this book that are rate it high i hear stuff like insight into the mind of an infantryman or the truth of war by people who have no idea of how or what a soldiers really is. This book sucks and it is not the real views and actions of our armed forces. I mean how many soldiers do you think would really get away with pointing rifles at fellow marines or having long hair and not shave. I myself am not a marine but iam a 11B with the 81st in the army and this book has no relation to what really goes on. If you people want a real review, read the reviews of the marines in here. 90% of the armed forces reviews rate this book 1 star or 2. At most this book is made by a disgruntled marine who likes to make war stories up to impress others.	negative
1	MM...HIP HOP	If you know anything about the hip-hop scene you already know of MF Doom aka Zev Love X aka King Geedorah aka Viktor Vaughn. You know what to expect from Doom, this album is no exception. This is not the BEST i've ever heard from doom by a longshot, but that is still 100 times better than most so-called mcs that so-called hip-hop listeners praise. Doom has a take it or leave it style, his lyrics & beats are only for true heads...and since when can you use too much sampling, someone please explain this...hip-hop was founded on sampling and pure original hip-hop beats like this with a raw, original flow like doom's. doom didn't disappoint me but he didn't blow me away either. definately worth a listen for true hip-hoppers though.	positive
0	Not so Happy..Not clapping hands	We ordered this through Amazon and it was filled by "We Best Store". The inchworm is supposed to play 'If you're happy and you know it..', instead it plays something that sounds identical to 'Dance the Night Away' by J.LO. Not sure if it is a counterfeit, but it certainly calls the standards into question. Otherwise, it seems fine.	negative
0	Awful!	Ok, first of all, my set was light gold in color and did not seem to have any nonstick surface to it!The pans are so thin and lightweight that they bend easily. The tray has already warped after the first use. They are soooo cheap looking and feeling. As I was washing the deeper pan, it was bending and popping all over the place. This set is a HUGE disappointment. You might as well just go buy the disposable aluminum foil pans.The rack was inside the deeper pan during shipping and it made scratches and black/grey marks on the pan that did not come off.I saw that people have said the Teflon is coming off of their pans after the first use, but mine do not seem to have any Teflon or any other type of coating. It is like a raw, gritty finish on my set.I do not recommend this set unless you can get it under 5 bucks, you have low expectations, and want a more disposable set.	negative
0	Dubious history	You get a sense of this book's priorities by reading its subtitle: "A Kitchen Entertainment and Cook Book." 15th century recipe translations and 19th century recipes are scattered higgledy-piggledy.

0	Birdsong on Blu-Ray	This was released in Europe in it's original widescreen format on Blu-Ray. It is going to be released here in a fullscreen format (1:33). Why? I don't know.

Whatever the reason, it is crazy to release a Blu-Ray widescreen movie in a Blu-Ray fullscreen format in this day and age. But hey, we are backward in a lot of things. The Europeans had widescreen TV long before we did. So, don't waste your money on this one until they release it properly, if you want to watch it properly.	negative

I guess I went into this movie expecting to see something similar to Bridget Jones or Love, Actually and was very dissappointed. This is a boring boring boring movie.

They emailed me and said they would refund my money and I could keep the product as long as I remove the feedback... they are wanting their feedback numbers to be escalated that they would rather pay me off then fix the actual mistake. I would never shop there again. Just be honest with your customers and then you dont have to buy people off.	negative

0	Sensational claims of China's collapse just to build sales?	As the tile of his book boldly declares, Mr Chang believes that China is about to collapse. Funny that no one else among the thousands of China scholars in many countries has come up with a similar conclusion! One should give credit to Mr Chang for flying in the face of the conventional wisdom. However, one has to wonder about Mr Chang's motivations for taking this contrarian view. Is this view based on some unusual insight into the workings of the Chinese state? For someone who claims to have spent 20 years in China, Mr Chang seems surprisingly uninformed about many basic aspects of contemporary Chinese realities. One has to conclude that Mr Chang's has crafted a novel and controversial thesis of China's imminent collapse not because it is supported by the facts but because he thinks this is the best way to generate sales for his first book!	negative

0	Propoganda	Alex Molnar once again writes an anti-establishment and anti-business diatribe. He uses this book as a platform to prosletyse his personal views rather than looking at the benefits and disadvantages of having businesses involved with education.A classic example of his selective scholarship applies to educational text books publishers. These for-profit entities produce the core texts which teachers and students have relied on for over a century in the US. Almost all major US educational publishers are owned by Fortune 500 companies, who mandate they publish for profit. This has not created a perfect system for producing school text books, but no one can seriously argue that education would benefit by banning their involvement with schools!Alex Molnar would have you believe all business involvement with education is evil, however his thesis is undermined by a blinkered and narrow approach. This is an important issue which needs better analysis!	negative
0	Short change equals short-changed	These grinders are indestructible. They do a great job and last forever. Why only 1 star? Krups has recently shortened the electrical cord on this appliance by 23 INCHES. Unbelievable, but true. Did they think we wouldn't notice? Did they try it out for themselves in a regular kitchen that doesn't have electrical outlets every 12" on the counters and/or backsplash?Just how much money did they save themselves by eliminating that extra 23" of cording? Did the customer's experience factor into the decision? The use of the grinder is severely limited when there's not enough electrical cord to reach a convenient outlet.	negative

Would be nice if it stayed bright

My first issue with this flashlight is that after installing batteries, it would not turn on. I checked to make sure the batteries were in correctly which they were and after a few shakes and taps it lit up. Seemed nice at first, very bright and a nice cone of light. Then it started to dim and it appeard half the LED's were not working. Another tap and they lit back up but then continued to dim or flicker. Seems like pretty poor quality to me as some other reviewers have the same issues. I would not recommend this flashlight.

My favorite new cookbook

I can't say enough good things about this cookbook. Every recipe draws my interest and after a week of entertaining I can report every recipe from the book that I have tried is a winner. Start with the cherry almond biscotti and move on to the Tuscan Chicken with a Roasted Corn Salad with Avocado Vinagrette. I usually design a single menu from recipes from different sources,however there is enough in this book to keep me busy for awhile.

Great Coffee, No Durability

I had read some reviews of the various Keurig coffeemakers prior to buying one. Generally, people were happy with the coffee, but several people mentioned that they don't last. I went ahead and bought one anyway. It has made great tasting coffee - I love having a fresh cup whenever I want, within a minute or two. However, mine no longer functions correctly, only six months after purchase. Given the cost of the coffeemaker and the k-cups, and it's short lifespan, I would not call it a great value.

I read this book and then consigned it to File 13. I have never seen such an obvious effort by an ungrateful child to "get even" with her mother. It's a festival of petty griping all the way through.

They should have included the original version too

If they had included the original version with this it would be awesome. The extras are nice to see what other ideas they bounced around but never used, but the extra footage in the movie itself ruins it. Some movies cut scenes because of time, but others cut them because they are horrible and take away from the movie. Its amazing what 6 minutes can do.

Good Quality for the Price

I ordered this belt to carry extra shells for my 20 gauge and the shells fit perfectly, but when I put 12 gauge in the slots it stretches the elastic to the max so be careful. The belt itself is made of good quality for the price and can allow for a sidearm holster to clip onto either side if you're in the field. The only real flaw is that there is a lot of extra belt hanging off after tightening it so that seems to get in the way and should have some sort of loop to put it through.

My Big Fat Ethnic Stereotype Movie

Incredibly dumb. It plays all the same "humor" notes you would expect from a film like this, and almost none of them are actually funny. Not nearly funny enough. An incomplete script. Missing true conflict in favor of feel-good over-the-top camaraderie and tired jokes from twenty other similar films. Way too obvious. It's "My Big Fat [enter particular ethnicity here] Tank Corps Rolls Over All Those Not Lucky Enough To Be Us." The whites are like pieces of windblown paper (they're "toast people" in the picture). The groom, John Corbett, is just a foil for the juggernaut of Greek vitality and the pushy rightness of all swarthy people over the wimpy, culture-challenged unswarthy. It's not just that the Greeks are ridiculous stereotypes, that's how these kinds of movies work. It's the casting of the whites as these cold, dumfounded, inferior people with no "ethnicity." If you really look at this thing clearly, it's creepy and racist.

Tak Ah Lah

A wonderful tale full of horror and insanity. A group of people driving by the town of Desperation, Nevada, are stopped by Collie Entragian, a Desperation Police Officer, and are brought into the town to fight the ultimate battle against evil with the help of the praying boy, eleven-year-old David Carver. This story is very interesting, especially at the beginning. It starts off strong and loses the reader a little towards the middle, but if you read this, don't give up on it. It is long, but the end is fantastic. A few of the characters such as Johnny Marinville and David Carver are amazingly crafted. The scene where Entragian pulls over Marinville is also very comical. A fun story with a few scary parts. Classic King.

Bartok's Gothic Opera

While I cannot repeat what the other review states, I can only say that he seems to be wrong about Samuel Ramey being Hungarian. Soprano Eva Marton is Hungarian and is doing a marvelous job as the newest victim of the devilish Bluebeard. The story is dark and symbolic. Bluebeard (not Bluebeard the Pirate) is a wealthy property owner who lives in a foreboding castle. He has just married wife No. 3. He warns her not to wander to a certain part of the castle. Naturally, curiosity gets the best of her and she searches the forbidden area despite his orders. What she finds there reveals a darker side to her husband. Eva Marton has a huge voice that fully captures every nunance of this character. Ramey has a terrific voice with all the right earthy and devilish tone for the part. Adam Fischer conducts Hungarian forces in Bartok's great work of Gothic and surreal drama.

I wish I had waited - this pillow is not comfortable for a baby

My daughter is 10 months old and I bought this for her the month before she was born. So far, it is WAY too big for her. When I put it around her neck, her head is propelled forward in an uncomfortable position. Imagine using one of those Boppys in the car around your neck and you get the picture.As far as construction goes, very plush and fairly high quality. It came exactly as pictured.I wish I had waited until she was born because I think it would have been obvious to me that this is unnecessary. I am hoping that in a few years this will be the right size and she can get some use out of it. So far, it just sits at the bottom of her toy box.

Henley Fizzles Solo

I love Don Henley but I love him with the Eagles. In this show, once you get past the Nehru jacket, the orange hair & the dark glasses, he barely tries to give anything resembling a performance. He stands there looking smug, virtually saying to his audience 'don't I write great lyrics' and 'I'm a great singer, aren't I'. The appallingly offhand version of The Heart Of The Matter has been swamped by the Eagles' Hell Freezes Over version. What he does to his most famous song, Hotel California, beggars belief. Those legendary gravel-lined vocal chords are no more than adequate. And perhaps this is being petty, but the anonymous band are given two separate credits for a 'Musical Director' and a 'Band Leader', both of which, when Henley is in his rightful place with the Eagles, are handled by someone called G. Frey, without a credit.

cutting-edge thriller

Glahn and Cutrer have created a thrilling, moving, and frighteningly believable world in 'Lethal Harvest.' Once I started reading it I couldn't put it down. The authors aren't afraid of controversial topics -- this book will make you think, and will force you to take another look at how genetic research is being conducted today. If you liked the sci-fi movie 'Gattaca' you will love this book. I strongly recommend it.

Pretty good

I liked this book. It was rather interesting. It's about this total wacko--Iggy-Boy--killing different people in this fraternity and stalking this girl named Casey. The story flows pretty easily, and all the suspects pointing to who Iggy-Boy actually is are pretty varied. But in the end, it gets really confusing, and you never really know if Iggy-Boy is just some guy or not. I got lost. Anyhoo, the story was okay, and I suggest looking in used bookstores for it. It's okay, I guess. Not very scary, really. At some points, though, it's pretty good. Anyhoo, this is an okay book.

This thing is LOUD!

I replaced the power supply on my 3 year old Dell XPS computer. This Diablo power supply is pretty loud, way louder that the Dell (which by the way was whisper quiet). This thing weighs half as much as my Dell power supply, which tells me that it is cheaply made. I guess you get what you pay for (under $20).I'm going to keep it for now just because my desktop is only a backup computer and I only turn it on once every 2 weeks or so. If you're purchasing this unit to install on a computer that is constantly running next to you, and you were used to a silent system, do yourself a favor and spend a little more money to save your sanity!

Probably the last good season of this show...

I've been a big fan of the show from the beginning so it's hard for me to admit, but this show has lost a lot of momentum. Season six was weak and rehashed a lot of the same old subject matter and the final season has been fragmented and uninteresting to say the least. While I am disappointed in the way the show has ended, up until that point it is quite good so I still recommend seasons one through five.

a nickle or two

if i had a nickle for every time i had listened this CD striaght through without skipping a track i would have... a nickle or two! The fact of the matter is that it has a couple of songs worth a listen, but they arent numerous enough to warrent the cost of the CD. A bit of a disapointment. There are also alot of bands who are better and more consistant, my advice... buy one of their albums.Over all it has but a few reasons why u would want to buy it:1. You are a die hard fan of theirs (highly unlikely)2. The head of the Russian mafia has a gun to your head(slightly more likely)3. For keeping the King of England out of your face (just play "Down Poison" and he'll run(a decent reason but u will also suffer))4. As an expensive coaster (nuff said)

This book wasn't helpful for me at all. I read it to do a book report for my Econ class, and I couldn't have been more disppointed. It seemed to me that he was repeating everything that he had already said in the chapters before. Not a very good insight on what was going on. I got lost several times while I was trying to read it, and everytime I read my goal amount of pages I was extatic that I didn't have to read anymore. I honestly felt sick every time I hade to open it. It could have been so much better, and better written.

I've spent a long time looking for a copy of this movie at an affordable price, and was surprised when I found it in a double pack. The package descibes it as digitally remasterd, it's not.

As great as advertised

These shoes are every bit as great as described. They're snug in the heel & arch, and roomy in the toes, even going downhill. Traction is great; lightweight but grippy treads. The cushioning is remarkable -- very springy, even under the forefoot, which feels great on those pounding downhills. The shoes are well ventilated: mesh in the toes as well as along the sides. A great trail shoe with a good fit, and a really comfortable ride.

This dog trainer is WORTHLESS!!! I purchased it hopes of somehow stopping the continual barking of the dogs next door and NOTHING!!! I then tried the product on over a dozen dogs in the area, and again, no reponse. The trainer is cheap plastic, and the belt holder piece has a fake screw on it. The toys in McDonald's Happy Meals are of higher quality than this item. If you truly want this item, just stand in the wind and rip up your dollars one at a time-it will be more effective at stopping barking.

Even the Transfer Looks Dim

The many critics of this film, both in the national press and on Amazon, are right, in spades; De Palma's picture's one of the weakest of his wildly uneven career. I'm a great fan of THE MAN WHO LAUGHS, but I defy anyone unfamiliar with that film to sort out its use in the present plot. And the dialogue's so ridiculously stilted and stuffed with bad noir pastiche jargon, it's frequently well-nigh incomprehensible. Poor, talented Fiona Shaw and the usually capable Scarlett Johansson will survive the wreck -- but please, can't we put Josh Harnett out of his (and our) misery? He's lame enough in contemporary pictures, but in period material, he's so lightweight he vanishes onscreen in a crowd of two. Reading the other pans, I'm surprised nobody's ragged on the quality of the transfer. Universal generally does well with its DVDs, but my copy of this film had a greyed tone, lacking true, deep blacks -- surely an unforgivable sin for neo-noir! What a missed opportunity.

I bought these gloves before I started a big project on my house involving framing and demolition. I bought these gloves because Mechanix Wear has been around for along time in the NASCAR scene and I figured if the pit crews wear them, I should try out their hardware line.

Highly recommended!

Warning!! This is NOT Paranormal Activity 3!

Well, I finally fell for one. I saw the cover art, the font style, "..ormal Activity 3" and hit the Rent button. I thought I was renting Paranormal Activity 3, but they got me. I just spent my money on ABNORMAL Activity 3.I guess this is a spoof on the Paranormal Activity series, but so far (15min in) it's not worth the $2. Maybe the rest of it will be interesting enough to be background noise for a lazy Saturday afternoon.We'll see......Nope. Despite one or two scenes that made me chuckle, this was a poorly done movie; worse than a 1st year film student.I wonder if someone could create a spam filter for video rentals. I'll just have to read title's and descriptions more carefully in future.

Phonics Read & Rhyme

Really awful program. I only purchased it because the school also uses it. The Karoke section makes no sense and it says to play a song, but then none of the buttons are enabled to play one. I called tech support and they said this is the way it's supposed to work until the child accumulates tickets. My daughter accumulated all of the tickets, but it still doesn't play any songs in the clubhouse.

Josh as a Rocker???

Ooooh. I never thought this would happen. Josh Groban with the most beautiful voice on earth, now a rocker?? Or whatever he's supposed to be cause I'm not sure. Josh doesn't even look like he's doing what he really wants to do. The strain of all the stupid concerts and trying to make everyone but himself happy is really showing in his voice. Let's get the original Josh back and dump the slacker I see at the Greek. I didn't buy it either, but I'm hoping to get the next CD. I'm also hoping that the old Josh comes back. Who wants a DVD with a bunch of sloppy silly old women doing lots of screaming???? Not me fer sure.

Tedious and boring

Put this stinkburger down after 80 pages. I wanted o disembowel myself to stop themind-numbing monotony. Way too much meaningless detail and tedious descriptions ofcrap that never mattered or moved the story along.Almost as bad as James Lee Burke filling page after page with repititive scene andlandscape descriptions to get to 300 pages.Wambaugh is definitely not a Caunitz or even aMahoney but he's light years away from Sandford who is my favorite.

Cheap rubbish

Why do I always fall for this junk? The photo on Amazon.com was misleading. I thought this was going to be a container for pins with a magnet built in. I nearly broke the thing, trying to open it. It is nothing more than cheap hollow plastic with a piece of magnet behind it. I purchased it for more than it is now selling for on Amazon.com. To be honest with you, they should be paying people to take them off their hands. Save your money, no matter how cheaply they are selling them.

AWFUL

Product was so poorly packaged (delivered by Pilot) and subsequently damaged in transit, that it could not be assembled once delivered. Trying to schedule the return with Amazon and Pilot proved to be virtually impossible and the customer service we received was incredibly bad. I will think twice before ordering any large item from Amazon again, especially those made by Delta.

Works Great just check it daily

Have a vacation farm where the little buggers get in all the time. Not fond of the stink and damage not to mention the noise of them running around the attic at night. So tried the old fashioned kind and actually fell asleep in a chair then woke up to one eating the peanut butter off the trigger and never set off the trap. So ran out and purchased the Victor Electronic and they work great, This is a better mousetrap. Would have given it a 5 Star but it will use up lots of batteries. Plus the worse thing is if you are gone for a few weeks then the dead bugger fuses to the metal plates and man does it stink. It cannot be cleaned easy so have tossed out more than a few of these and not cheap. Going to upgrade to the newer multi kill and hope that helps. If you can check it every day then it is the best.

Nice hardware, but Mio won't sell you maps of other countries

I have grown to like this little unit quite a bit, but I have discovered that I made a bad assumption when I bought it. When I saw that the maps were on SD cards, I figured I would just be able to buy maps for other regions when I needed them. Not so, it turns out. I actually called Mio tech support to see where I could buy a map of Canada for my next trip to Toronto, and I was told that "foreign" maps won't work in the US units. The telephone rep had been pretty polite up to that point, but when I said I certainly wouldn't buy a a Mio in the future, because they aren't much use to folks who need to travel to Canada, she got kind of snippy. She said "Well, that's your choice," and then added "You can buy a separate Mio Canadian unit."Yeah... or I could just buy a GPS that lets me install new maps.Steer clear of this one folks. It's not worth the "savings."

Save Your Money For Halo!!!!!

How are you going to make a military game and not be able to shoot. C'mon now, this game doesn't even compare to Ghost Recon. This is more like a Playstation 2 game, with it being slow paced and boring. If you want more for your money go out and buy Shrek 2. I returned my copy and saving for Ghost Recon 2 and Halo 2. Notice the pattern (lucky #2), if we're lucky Full Spectrum Warrior 2 will be a lot better (e.g. being able to shoot!).

Helpful but very outdated

When this book was released in 1998, it was a very helpful resource that made the navagation of the L.A. private school morass less complex and far less stressful. My problem with the book today lies simply in the fact that it has not been updated in five years and much of the information about the schools in the book is quite outdated. Whether it be enrollment figures, tuition costs, or even the very culture of many of the schools themselves, much has changed in Los Angeles private schools since this book was published just as much has changed in Los Angeles. A new edition reflecting these many changes is long overdue and hopefully forthcoming.

The road is the middle of a long story. Its about a father and son struggling to find a place to call home. No explanation of how the collapse of civilization took place. Also, there is little hope for a rebuild of some order. interesting but a bit depressing.

Don't buy it!!

I have used Turbo Tax Deluxe for years. After unsuccessfully trying to use it this year, I will never buy it again. The updates aren't availabe for downloading, to print your forms, you have to download the fonts, to talk to customer service/technical help they put you on hold for over a hour and not helpful at all. Turbo Tax uses Outsourcing as everyone I did manage to talk to are in India. The whole program is useless. They have lost another customer.

Good for beginners

I am definitely not a fitness freak and am just starting to get back into exercise. This is a good video for people like myself. I was sore after my first workout. Beginners do need to be wary of Amy Bento's tendency to pulse and bounce during her routine. Scientific research has shown this is damaging to joints. As long as you know not to do this, this is a good beginners workout. You can add more weight and you progress.

Classic soul with a jazzy touch from a living legend.

This CD contains Lou's PIR debut,"All Things In Time", which was one of the 1970s five best R&B albums as well as his 1980 release "Sit Down And Talk To Me". The former album was much stronger than the latter, but Lou Rawls is one of the few singers with whom it's almost impoosible to make a bad record with ( so buy it despite its flaws!).

Remember Playing With This!

I'm 30 years old and I remember playing with this exact shape sorter when I was a toddler. It must be one of my earliest memories, though we kept it around for baby visitors long after I outgrew it. Obviously, it held up great and I can't wait to get one for my youngest. I wish I had thought of it for my two older kiddos. I know they would have enjoyed playing with it. Actually, my three year old could probably benefit from practicing her motor skills with this toy. Five stars for sure!!!

Breaks too easily.

A wonderful device, BUT I've now used three of them before giving up. The general design is quite good. However, the suction cups at the end of the graber break or just fall off. They are good enough to pickup a dime but with continued use eventually they fall off. I tried jiffy-glue but the screws go into a plastic bushing, which fractures.

Absolutely Useless

I've been using the Kinerase facial cream for many years and really love it, so when I started seeing fine lines under my eyes, I thought I'd try their "eye rescue." What a disappointment. This creme did absolutely nothing. It's just an overpriced moisturizer that did NOT deliver on it's claim of improving fine lines and puffiness. I should have saved the $75 I spent and just used the regular face cream under my eyes instead. For that matter, a cheap bottle of hand lotion would have produced the same results (or lack thereof). Don't believe the hype. Save your money!

For god's sake Laurell, go back to Anita!!!!!

Let me start off by saying that I am a big fan of Laurell K Hamilton--I have all of her Anita Blake books, and I even LOVED Kiss of Shadows. However, this book is seriously ridiculous. Hamilton has ruined the great start she had with Kiss of Shadows. I mean, Merry and Kitto? That is beyond perverse, not to mention how she disgraces Doyle in creating such a silly, insulting, and basically racist family history for him. It's so bad that it's embarassing to admit that I ever read it.

One of his worst

This book seems almost like a bet someone made with Stephen King. They wanted to see just how good he was. "Can you write a whole book about a woman lying on a bed?"Any other author would have gotten a 1 on a book that goes nowhere and has very little happen. Stephen King just didn't have enough to work with. This was perhaps more of a character study, a chance to get into someone's head and see what they can learn about themselves from extremely stressful conditions. People who like artsy foreign films will probably love it. For someone like me who's more interested in a good story, I spent the whole book wondering when something significant would happen. I only bothered to finish the book because I kept thinking that some radical twist would put it all into a new perspective but I was dead wrong. Gerald's Game would have been an excellent short story, or a "MacGyver" episode. But stretching this 20 page plot into a full book made it painfully slow and boring.

1 star is generous...

Like many others, I watched this movie because the story sounded interesting enough, the flashy cover reminded me movies I'd seen previously and big Zach was right up front. That guy is pure comedic gold, right? RIGHT?Wrong...While Zach's minor time on the screen playing the same aloof, out of touch character as always fits him...the rest of the movie was unfortunately a waste. And while there will be defenders of this film claiming that this is a black comedy, the only thing that's black is the hole in my soul where happiness used to reside until this movie devoured it.I kept watching with the hope that somehow the movie would eventually redeem itself. With a cast like this you'd think SOMEONE could make this movie worthwhile.In the end I'm left wishing the cover would have been as bland as the movie and saved myself the torture of watching it...At least there's still hope for you. Flee now!

bad book dumb writer

from the reviews i have read of this book that are rate it high i hear stuff like insight into the mind of an infantryman or the truth of war by people who have no idea of how or what a soldiers really is. This book sucks and it is not the real views and actions of our armed forces. I mean how many soldiers do you think would really get away with pointing rifles at fellow marines or having long hair and not shave. I myself am not a marine but iam a 11B with the 81st in the army and this book has no relation to what really goes on. If you people want a real review, read the reviews of the marines in here. 90% of the armed forces reviews rate this book 1 star or 2. At most this book is made by a disgruntled marine who likes to make war stories up to impress others.

MM...HIP HOP

If you know anything about the hip-hop scene you already know of MF Doom aka Zev Love X aka King Geedorah aka Viktor Vaughn. You know what to expect from Doom, this album is no exception. This is not the BEST i've ever heard from doom by a longshot, but that is still 100 times better than most so-called mcs that so-called hip-hop listeners praise. Doom has a take it or leave it style, his lyrics & beats are only for true heads...and since when can you use too much sampling, someone please explain this...hip-hop was founded on sampling and pure original hip-hop beats like this with a raw, original flow like doom's. doom didn't disappoint me but he didn't blow me away either. definately worth a listen for true hip-hoppers though.

Not so Happy..Not clapping hands

We ordered this through Amazon and it was filled by "We Best Store". The inchworm is supposed to play 'If you're happy and you know it..', instead it plays something that sounds identical to 'Dance the Night Away' by J.LO. Not sure if it is a counterfeit, but it certainly calls the standards into question. Otherwise, it seems fine.

Awful!

Ok, first of all, my set was light gold in color and did not seem to have any nonstick surface to it!The pans are so thin and lightweight that they bend easily. The tray has already warped after the first use. They are soooo cheap looking and feeling. As I was washing the deeper pan, it was bending and popping all over the place. This set is a HUGE disappointment. You might as well just go buy the disposable aluminum foil pans.The rack was inside the deeper pan during shipping and it made scratches and black/grey marks on the pan that did not come off.I saw that people have said the Teflon is coming off of their pans after the first use, but mine do not seem to have any Teflon or any other type of coating. It is like a raw, gritty finish on my set.I do not recommend this set unless you can get it under 5 bucks, you have low expectations, and want a more disposable set.

Dubious history

You get a sense of this book's priorities by reading its subtitle: "A Kitchen Entertainment and Cook Book." 15th century recipe translations and 19th century recipes are scattered higgledy-piggledy.

Sony Playstation 2 Cordless Action Controller

So basically I was hoping to be free from the use of the cord and for the first hour they worked fine. After that the signal between the controller and the transmitter seemed to just drop out of one or both of the controllers. This was very frustrating and so I have switched back to using corded controllers. Don't waste your money just buy the extension cords.

Birdsong on Blu-Ray

This was released in Europe in it's original widescreen format on Blu-Ray. It is going to be released here in a fullscreen format (1:33). Why? I don't know. Maybe it's because a lot of PBS watchers in the US still watch on their old format (4x3) TVs? Whatever the reason, it is crazy to release a Blu-Ray widescreen movie in a Blu-Ray fullscreen format in this day and age. But hey, we are backward in a lot of things. The Europeans had widescreen TV long before we did. So, don't waste your money on this one until they release it properly, if you want to watch it properly.

I love british romantic comedy because I find them funnier than american ones. I love most american movies, but when it comes to love comedy the brits just do a much better job! The heroes are always quirky and no one is ever perfect and that is what makes it fun. I guess I went into this movie expecting to see something similar to Bridget Jones or Love, Actually and was very dissappointed. This is a boring boring boring movie. The best part of the movie was Hugh Grant's roomate who is a bit of a nut job, but all in all I found this movie predictable much like american love comedies. Bleh!

I was not dissapointed at all!Onto the DVD... Its just OK. Why just ok? Well, there was plenty going on up on stage that was missed on the DVD.Like the obviously staged fight between Peter and Daniel. They must have done that at every venue.Also, the end credits roll during the best song on the damn DVD.And... whats with the bizarre CGI morphing effects?!? You didnt notice it?

if you give a bad review they try to bribe you into removing your review

So I bought a couple of USB lighter adaptors and while the product did come late to start with, it then did not work for what it was supposed to. I was fine with that because I was only out a few bucks. But here is the kicker and why I am still giving them a bad review. They emailed me and said they would refund my money and I could keep the product as long as I remove the feedback... they are wanting their feedback numbers to be escalated that they would rather pay me off then fix the actual mistake. I would never shop there again. Just be honest with your customers and then you dont have to buy people off.

Sensational claims of China's collapse just to build sales?

As the tile of his book boldly declares, Mr Chang believes that China is about to collapse. Funny that *no one* else among the thousands of China scholars in many countries has come up with a similar conclusion! One should give credit to Mr Chang for flying in the face of the conventional wisdom. However, one has to wonder about Mr Chang's motivations for taking this contrarian view. Is this view based on some unusual insight into the workings of the Chinese state? For someone who claims to have spent 20 years in China, Mr Chang seems surprisingly uninformed about many basic aspects of contemporary Chinese realities. One has to conclude that Mr Chang's has crafted a novel and controversial thesis of China's imminent collapse not because it is supported by the facts but because he thinks this is the best way to generate sales for his first book!

Propoganda

Alex Molnar once again writes an anti-establishment and anti-business diatribe. He uses this book as a platform to prosletyse his personal views rather than looking at the benefits and disadvantages of having businesses involved with education.A classic example of his selective scholarship applies to educational text books publishers. These for-profit entities produce the core texts which teachers and students have relied on for over a century in the US. Almost all major US educational publishers are owned by Fortune 500 companies, who mandate they publish for profit. This has not created a perfect system for producing school text books, but no one can seriously argue that education would benefit by banning their involvement with schools!Alex Molnar would have you believe all business involvement with education is evil, however his thesis is undermined by a blinkered and narrow approach. This is an important issue which needs better analysis!

Short change equals short-changed

These grinders are indestructible. They do a great job and last forever. Why only 1 star? Krups has recently shortened the electrical cord on this appliance by 23 INCHES. Unbelievable, but true. Did they think we wouldn't notice? Did they try it out for themselves in a regular kitchen that doesn't have electrical outlets every 12" on the counters and/or backsplash?Just how much money did they save themselves by eliminating that extra 23" of cording? Did the customer's experience factor into the decision? The use of the grinder is severely limited when there's not enough electrical cord to reach a convenient outlet.
