0	sickening	I was seriously disappointed by this album. there was potential, but it wasn't coming out. a good "can't fall asleep" album.	negative
0	Not a great fit	I purchased this for my husbands 1996 chevy c1500. As he installed them, both broke on various corners. He was not rough with them at all, so it was not because of being careless. The taillights are also not a proper fit,there is a gap. I checked before buying, that these would fit his vehicle and was assured they would. Because of all this, I dont recommend them.	negative
1	Good Value, could use better implementation	I bought this about three weeks ago. The software installed easily, and downloading .MP3 format music is a snap. I use 64kps encoding (I walk to work in a busy city -- the ambient noise level is high so I'd rather trade number of titles for sound quality). I've been very pleased with the sound quality and ease of use. The controls are relatively simple and intuitive, but some basic procedures -- setting the clock for instance -- could be made easier.The major downside is the constuction of the instrument. The battery case cover slips off from time to time and it does not seem to matter how I secure it. Sooner or later I'm going to lose that part. The overall feel is flimsy, but having said that, the fact is that it has bounced around in my pack for several weeks and been on several plane flights with out a hitch.Overall a pretty good value.	positive
0	DFB Wannabe	Man, these guys suck a$$. When all your fans are suburban jr.high school mostly filled with white kids wearing abercombie & fitch, you know you aint doing to well in the rap game. If you want real bank head music get dem franchise boyz at least they have something to talk about instead of focusing on just the beats. these guys are the worst thing to happen to hip hop sine vanilla ice. The reason y these guys suck so bad is mostly because mike jones helped them. The only other thing helping these fags sell is MTV. Everyone knows MTV dosent show musik and this is about as stupid as their shows. anyway, if you want good music with REAL lyrics get kayne west or some method man or something, just dont get this.	negative
1	Emphasis on oil	A hundred different painters explain how they tackled in their paintings one of the most difficult, elusive and rewarding subjects: people. Each painting gets a page long explanation, focused in one of the techniques employed or in some creativity issue relevant to the subject matter. The fact that most artists list the colors they used is definitely a plus. My only qualm with this book are that, being watercolor my medium of choice, I found this books places a lot of attention in oil (and if you're a pastelist or use some other technique, you're in an even worse position). Another minor flaw is the fact that the beautiful picture on the cover is not of those analyzed inside. However, I am being nitpicky, as this book is beatiful and inspiring, and will help anyone seeking to expand his or her creative horizons-	positive
1	High quality and great price.	Amazon shipped much faster than they said, again! Great company. Rachel Ray's really smart and her pan is top quality at bottom price.	positive
1	It just works	Here's my home network:One wired desktop PC, wired TV, wired Bluray, wired Xbox360, Wifi: 1 laptop, 2 cell phones, 1 android tablet, 1 wifi printer.This router for me replaced an old G router and it's like a whole new internet. My old router's wirless signal couldn't cover my entire apartment and now I have signal in the backyard. My wired devices are now connected at 1GB/s instead of 100MB/s.My old router had to have a bunch of custom routing and port rules for Netflix and Xbox Live to work right, this one I just plugged in and it worked. The only thing I did was set the channel to a less crowded one and renamed the wifi network name and set my password. Took about 5 minutes.It includes an vertical stand as well, which I use and it's alright, the pressure of the wires connected to it kind of have more leverage than the grip of the stand so I had to pull the wires around a bit to give them some slack so it stood in place.	positive
0	Liar	Kelly Flinn was not "forced" to resign, she accepted a resignation because she knew she would be convicted. Her crime was not "falling love with the wrong man," her crime (in addition to adultery) was disobeying a lawful order to cease the relationship. Kelly Flinn and the feminists who love her saw her case as another example of an out of touch military hell bent on railroading her promising career. Hogwash. The reality is that she was given several opportunities to end the relationship. She instead chose to disobey direct orders. Rather comforting knowing that she was piloting nuclear capable aircraft. She played the media card and boo-hooed on 60 minutes. The Air Force, in an effort to protect HER privacy, kept quiet. It cost them in the PR battle, but they won the war, because Flinn no longer wears the uniform. This book is spin at its ugliest, don't waste your money.	negative
1	Grapes of Wrath	My son is into the older books by writers that he's heard about but never read....this arrived in time for Christmas and he has enjoyed it very much....	positive
0	A Bit Disappointing	I've read some of the other commentaries in this series and they generally make good devotional commentaries, but this one was disappointing. The author does not provide much in the way of insight or application beyond what you can read in the text of Genesis 12-50 itself.	negative
0	Huge disappointment!	Henry Morton, my favorite Bow Street Runner from "The Thief Taker", is back again. However, this time I was not intrigued by the mystery he is attempting to solve. The mistress of a count is found dead, having been tortured by thumbscrews. Napoleon has been captured and is being held on a ship in Plymouth Harbor after a lengthy war with England. People on small boats flock to catch a glimpse of him. As other murders occur, Henry is sent on a long chase to capture the murderer.Maybe I am not enough of a history buff to keep the loyalists and royalists straight in my mind. Or maybe I just didn't care enough about the characters or the plot line. Either way, this book was a chore to finish. Perhaps that is why it didn't even merit a hard-cover publication.	negative
0	Broke After a Few Months	I got this for my kids to use at home and for a few months it was a good little sharpener. Suction works well, not messy to dump out the shavings, etc. However, the teeth on the wheels grinded too much and stopped making the sharpening piece inside to turn.	negative
0	Definitely not one of my a favorites!	If you like books that aer mysterious, funny, and action packed... then The Wheel on the School is NOT the book for you! This book is boring to read because these people who live in a small town called Shora are trying to find a wheel to put on top of the local town school. The reason they are going to put a wheel on a school is because they want Storks [ a bird ]to come to town and stay there! how dumb is that? It took me about a month to read this book because it was hard to understand! sometimes i found myself reading a page two or three times to try to understand, but i just didn't get it! The ONLY reason i read this book is because i wanted to make a good grade in English class!!	negative
1	Nice Gloves	Great gloves for moderately low temperatures. Could be a little warmer, but if you're only going out for a little while or if its above 20F, your hands will be warm. Haven't stuck my hands in water so not sure how waterproof they really are, but in snow they seem to stay dry. They look pretty slick too, so that's a bonus :) The grip on these gloves is amazing, no slippage will be going on with these!	positive
0	Salty Soup	To much salt, can't drink the broth. Most consumers are looking to get away from this old idea for creating flavor. I'll look at it again in a couple years.	negative
0	Defective spike base	The metal spike base is very poorly designed and the hose connection soon just falls off, there is no way to repair this.AVOID any Gilmour sprinkler with this metal spike base!The sprinkler heads themselves work fairly well.	negative
0	Jacob Have I Loved	I hate this book because its a horrible book and it has terrible and annoying characters. I hope someone never reads this book because it really stinks. Read with caution.	negative
1	Very informative	All the Elm Creek Quilts novels are excellent. Sugar Camp Quilt is historical and gives a great picture of the slave times and the good people who helped them.	positive
1	Vivid image - easy to use and organize	I've had experience with these sorts of frames by other manufacturers in the past - and it was not enjoyable. This one is a clear exception. The ability to dump pre-organized photos onto the frame via USB cable from your computer, couldn't be easier. And once there - this frame offers the ability to select multiple photos and delete them through the frame, instead of the cumbesome one-at-a-time or ALL delete functions on other frames. The image quality is great - and the big test: the grandparents figured out how to use it!	positive
0	HOLY S***!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!	I expected this movie to be fun, scary, and really good! But what did I get? A stupid, boring, dumb-a** movie! (Sorry about all the cussing....) I saw the preview and it looked so good! But it was the dumbest movie in the world!!!!!!!!!! I HATE THIS MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!	negative
0	Returned twice	Although the concept of this heater seemed great, it did not live up to expectations. I had to return it twice before giving up on it entirely. It did heat the space quite nicely, but it would randomly just shut off on its own. When I contacted the company the first time, they said it should never shut off unless turned off. This was critical in my case because I was concerned about freezing temperatures - not acceptable.	negative
1	Outstanding Reference	Starts off with the evolution of sniping, hardware & cartridges. Then gives you very concise and simple formulas but doesn't do it dryly.	positive
0	Real Fans Know Better	Place this CD next to the Yellow Submarine album or an Interview disc and it may look like a must have; I have so say, make it one of the final Beattle CDs to buy. As an owner of over 100 Beatles CD's, I feel like enough of an authority to beg, "Please Don't!"	negative
0	bw/wm mystery	This was an excellent mystery and fine love story. Very interesting and very worth the cost and time.	negative
0	Only after you've read everything else	This is a hard core conservative's dream book of truth. Hard core liberals will read it to make them feel superior. Unfortunately it's just a bad book that seems to have been, literally, thrown together. Repitition and bad editing are evident throughout.The first 2 chapters about early calls and the probable effect on voting nationwide are pretty interesting. Not only is the case laid out pretty well but the topic has never been widely covered. No doubt because the people who caused the problem are the one's who would have to do the covering.After these chapters, it's pretty much the same formula over and over. Gore, and almost everybody who worked for his campaign, are vile swill. Bush, and the Bushies, are honest, fearless, etc. While undoubtedly true, it gets boring and really not worth reading.	negative
0	buyer beware!!!	Beware it will catch on fire! It has no over current protection and it will fry your motherboard. if there was a negative rating I will give -5 stars	negative
0	Dog Day	Dog Day was not one of Lee Marvin's best films, not by a long shot. It was perhaps one of his worst films I have ever seen. I would not recommend this film to anyone, as you will be sorely disappointed with the entire cast. Many of whom are not well known in the U.S.I give this film a rating of less than (1). For me it was a zero!Condition Red was predictable and not a good prison film, as prison films go. Condition was shown on regular TV, and I saw it when it first aired, but was not impressed with it at all. Another zero rating...	negative
1	Keeping Faith	This is an unusual book, but it sure keep your attention. This story kept my attention throughout the entire book.	positive
1	The Best	So we've tried other brands, they would bulge and get super heavy, and would often leak. These Pampers are awesome. I love that a line appears when the diaper is dirty as well as how well it keeps moisture away from her skin. Haven't had any leaks or other issues that other diapers have. Worth the money!	positive
0	Skip this scale!	I've head this scale for over a year, and the numbers can vary 1-3 lbs within five minutes--not very accurate. Second, you cannot see the numbers on the screen-terribly lit screen. Third, now just after a year, it just shows an E and there is no remedy in the instructions on how to fix it when E appears.It feels cheap when you step on it as it creeks and cracks and I am a normal weight of 130 lbs.Shame on Health o Meter for promising much with this gadget and delivering nothing of real value. You cannot see nor turst the numbers--then the whole thing just goes kaput after a year.	negative
0	a flat movie	Am I supposed to feel sorry for this guy? I suppose the other main plot was who turned him in. The movie was just flat. No peak, no climax...jst flat.	negative
0	this did not work	We used this alarm religiously according to the directions for six months, every night, and it did not work. My son is 8 and we were told by our doctor to just wait and he will grow out of it. So now we have gone through six months of sleep deprivation with no benefit except that my son feels like he failed.	negative
0	This book isn't enough to undertand the subject	This book isn't enough to undertand the subject. I recommend try to find the more complete book.	negative
1	Thank you, Thank you!	I recently moved to Boston and though not blond, had a blond moment when I gave my address for where to send the product. I kinda used a combination of my old and new address. Long story short, my product got lost in the mail and it was totally my fault. The customer service people at SmartSole sent me out a new pair immediately and were super nice about it.All that aside, I love the insole. I am still not a super model, but with my daily morning walk in my Smartsoles. I am making a dent on the baby weight I put on!	positive
1	Time to re-read	All those who, in 1999 and 2000, rated this book 1-star should sit down and re-read this greatly informative and prescient book! Because its "timing" was off by a decade does not render this book useless, though it may indeed have cost investors lost profits. For this reason only do I give it 4-stars. HIGHLY recommended read!	positive
0	Sent the wrong DVD	Ordered the Jane Fonda excercise DVD ensuring I ordered from the Australian market but when my purchase arrived it has an American zone of "1" and Australian DVD's need to be "4" so all of my four purchases can not be played in Australia. Oh well won't order DVD's on line again. :(	negative
0	Rubbermaid 11-82 Large Drainer Tray	I was very excited about ordering the RubbermaidBisque drainer tray. Not one retailer had the color, plus I wanted a sideways drainer. My old drainer tray is the same size and about the same color. That is where the similarity ends. The new tray is Very lightweight & flimsy.I am extremely disappointed in the "quality". I do give two stars because it is the right color & it is a sideways drainer.theSweetPea	negative
1	Beautiful, but not perfect.	I read a few of the reviews for this book and I feel compelled to do a review of my own, because, I am sorry to say, they totally misrepresented it.In a culture where girls are brought up to be sold in marriage and their individuality and freedom is often repressed, Shabanu has a spirit that cannot be quenched by the stick striking across her ribs, or the rules of tradition followed by countless generations of women. Her elder sister, Phulan, is beautiful, but "beauty is only skin deep", especially in her case.This is the first book I've read from the point of view of a Muslim girl, and it's really opened my eyes about how life can be for them. I look forward to reading more of Suzanne Fisher Staples's work.	positive
1	Disney Swimming Nemo	This fish is so adorable and it has been a huge hit in the bath tub and outside in the pool! Highly recommend for those Nemo fans!!!!!! Very Happy!!!	positive
1	There are a lot of mediocre staplers "out there". The TR250 is NOT one them.	The TR250 does a nice job of anything that needs heavy attaching. The acessory pak is a veryeconomical way of having the right staple.	positive
1	Sad	Book was so sad.... poor girl got mixed up in things she should never have had to know or endure.	positive
0	Refuse to Buy!!!!!!!!!!	I refuse to buy... release a true unedited version!!! Enough with the Sensitivity Crap!!!!!	negative
1	Carrying something somewhat logical to its illogical extreme. A good read!	Some myth, a lot of truth and a great bit of writing that portrays one of history's great murderers. I read it in two days and was a bit sorry that it ended.	positive
1	Fantastic Book	What were these three sisters doing to produce such great books in such short lives? This book is ahead of its time, and a page turner. Yes, a Victorian page turner. Everytime I thought the problem was about as bad as it could get and Anne Bronte would start wrapping it up, it got worse. For those who have read it, I've got to say Frederick Lawrence is far too forgiving...As for the writing, I had to admire how Anne Bronte let the reader in on things that went right over the heads of her narrators. This book is still fresh and well worth the time.	positive
1	Great book	This is my father in laws favorite. The projects are endless, and explained so well even a beginner can complete most of them. It's really full of great easy to use patterns.	positive
1	Very helpful	There are some wonderful suggestions here to make your day special. You will read this and remember the little things to do. One recommendation would be to direct readers to Katherine's Song, the wedding song in Defenders of the Holy Grail (Ken Agori)...this is THE song for this millenium. Of course, this may belong more at the service, but at the reception for the first dance, WOW!! THis book is worth the money...	positive
0	Burg recites from other authorities	A sophomoric recital of others ideas. Burg spends more ink in the table of contents and endless reprinting of the title of the very book in your hands than in initiating any new thoughts/approaches on communicating.A rip off!	negative
1	Brilliant song - unintentional humour!	Matchbox Twenty have come up with their best song yet! The intro is so wonderful, it's amazing they managed to come up with a song that's just as good. However, the song is hysterically funny to anyone who was brought up with the British slang definition of "bent". If you know what I'm talking about, just try to listen to it without laughing! Even with the unintentional double entendre, this is a fine piece of music from a band that keeps on getting better and better. Thanks to Mb20 for making something that's ever more rare - populist rock music that's actually GOOD!	positive
1	Expand your fantasy	The design of the ship, the system in the ship, and the angel's appearance caught my imagination since the first time I watched this Sol Bianca. As the last serie of the Sol Bianca The Legacy, the ending story is well plotted and let's say, it makes your heart out.Not to mention the energetic (I mean it!), ENERGETIC Theme song called 'To Be Free', sung by Stella Furst, kind of a mix of Jazz and classic rock music. I just wish to find it's CD Soundtrack.	positive
0	same-o same-o	Do we really need ANOTHER book coaching/counseling/reassuring women how to get what tons of men have had for years...a career AND a family. I don't see any chapters with the title "how to get your husband to do his share". I suggest her next book should be "How to find a man who will be a real partner"...that would take care of a great deal of all this handwringing...	negative
0	DRY INK PADS	We really enjoy Melissa ans Doug products, but when you get a dry ink pad with the stamps its pretty dissapointing. I will be emailoing the company to my dissatsfaction. We could not use until we went out and bought some ink pads.	negative
0	DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK!	This book goes AGAINST Christian teachings. The author is an atheist wanker. Do NOT buy this book and support this attempt to poison our Christian youth. There should be an option to give a ZERO rating!	negative
0	Ok If you like java.	I purchased the book to aid in CGI programming but found just about every chapter uses Java in its examples. If you are not a Java programmer this book will not help you.	negative
0	Broken pieces	I received my chart stand and was shocked. Two of the wheels were completely broken. There was rust on the railings. The stand came with no directions. I am appalled!!	negative
0	disappointed	As a huge long time T-Bone Burnett fan (I saw him in Austin in '83 or '84), I was eagerly awaiting the newest CD. I was very disappointed. The songs were just not that good. I found the CD ponderous and claustrophobic (but I am not thrilled with Sam Phillips, so take it for what it's worth). I have only listened to it twice (so I am giving it one more listen), but I urge people to purchase Twenty Twenty. An excellent album with a good booklet to go along with it.	negative
0	not what i expected	I did a pretty thorough search for a book that would cover Mediterranean history, cultures, and geography- and settled on this book as my first choice. I was only able to get through about 1/3 of the book before I lost interest and put it on the shelf.I found it to be primarily focused on leaders and wars, with little insight into the real lives of people. Because of the focus on leaders, the names became (for me) hard to follow and confusing. Each section seems to become predictable- focusing on X leader who brings Y troops to Z land, and either wins/pillages or loses.There are some interesting tidbits that are cited as part of the war stories, including details on post-war carnage, or of leaders who showed restraint. However, not near enough information on the lives of normal people that lived in the Med. region over the past few thousand years.	negative
1	A must have!!	Best of the best here! Get this while you can for your collection as it won't be produced since the new Best of was released in 2005!	positive
1	The Pack	This cd more than lived up to my expectations. The selection of songs is great. It is nice to hear some of the old classics, such as Silent Night and It Came Upon a Midnight Blue. White Christmas will always be associated with Bing Crosby, but Dean certainly does it justice	positive
1	I want more	This another well done story full of good characters. I want a sequel to this one. Josie and Rebecca are just great strong women and there were a couple of times I thought I hurt myself laughing. Great read I am gonna keep this one.	positive
1	Impressive...the fussion of smooth jazz with deep house.	Excellent work. I'll take 8 out of 10 songs, but I have to recognize that this album contains one of the best songs that I ever hear in my life: FUNKI GHETTO...chapeau, Mr. Glenn!!	positive
1	Kindle owner's review	I have owned my kindle for 6 months and absolutely love it. I wonder how I ever lived without it. I have saved a lot of money and already have three pages of books I have read since owning it. I would recommend a kindle to anyone. I have the earlier kindle, a little larger, but it doesn't matter. I also have the leather cover, and many times don't take it out of the cover to read it. I think it stays better protected when in the cover, especially if travelling. Thanks Amazon for developing the Kindle.	positive
1	Sublime Ravel	It is easy to put off buying this set when looking at the recording date (1955) and the fact the sound was originally monaural. Don't make that mistake. These are Ravel performances of the very highest order. For me Perlemuter is to Ravel's piano music what Gieseking is to Debussy's. Even in the 2 concertos Perlemuter and Jascha Horenstein (was he inspired by Perlemuter?}reach new heights. The sound is good enough to bring out every nuance. every subtlety. 155 minutes of suberb music at the price of one medium priced CD is quite a bargain.	positive
1	Absolutely Perfect	I found that I ran into a problem; this was my significant other's absolute favorite movie of all time, but it happened to be firmly locked in the vault. Then, I found this movie and it completely surprised me and I just had to buy it. Now we have a tradition of buying a new movie for the other person whenever they have to leave on a trip - and I've been working on completing her Disney collection. Chances are, if this seller has any more movies from the vault, I'll be back as a buyer	positive
0	A very long-time customer quits	IN MY OPINION --Over the past year or so: too many of my Duracel batteries have leaked. One took the stain finish off my wooden table top (shape of the battery). Another ruined a TV controller and several others leaked and required the controllers to be meticuously cleaned before they were again operational.	negative
1	Great motivational flick, if you can identify....	Great motivational flick, if you can identify.... with the message and the story. This movie is a classic amongst the community that follows Bill W's ways today	positive
0	Should have stayed hidden underground	This is a terrible live recording. It is cheaply done(sounds like Twenty dollar tape recorder. the playing is Okay but the singing I think is awful. Reading the back we know why it was released but I think it should have stayed on the cutting room floor. StayAway	negative
1	Range Clean drip pans	The product arrived in perfect condition a day earlier than promised. They fit my Kenmore range perfectly. I couldn't be happier with this product. I haven't had them long enough to need to clean them but am unconcerned because at the price I could buy them once a month if I needed to! I was unable to get chrome for my black range from Sears. They had only black replacements which were very difficult to clean and cost $19 dollars for EACH large pan. See why I'm happy?	positive
1	A Music Fan	This CD is absolutely great! The depth and stength of Andrea's voice is moving and inspirational. Goes great with a fine wine and low lights for that special evening.	positive
1	Good Jacket	I really enjoy wearing this jacket. It's not quite as warm as I'd expected, but it's pretty warm, considering how extremely lightweight it is. It looks good; I'm always getting compliments on it. The workmanship on the jacket seems quite good.The draw strings around the waist wouldn't stay drawn until I found the slider clips inside pockets in the jacket lining. A tag indicating their location would have been helpful.My minor complaints (the jacket could be a bit warmer, and the drawstring question) made this a 4 star review, instead of a 5, but on the whole I'm quite happy with the jacket.	positive
1	Great coffee desserts....	If you like coffee flavored desserts you will love this book. Great recipes & clear instructions. The book is full of pictures of yummy desserts. Great book!	positive
1	Great Reference	Have used this title for many years. Brief, useful, refresher info. I provide it to students in Accounting Department orientation class that I teach.	positive
1	Excellent	I don't have his other two albums, but I bought this on the day it came out. Popped it in the cd player and was slightly disappointed. As another reviewer said, the songs all kind of sounded the same and were "OK". However, with a few more listens, I was totally hooked. This is an excellent album. I'm gonna buy the other two now.	positive
1	Till We Meet Again	I loved this original TV series when it aired. And still today it was enjoyable to watch after a decade. Courtney Cox was young, and Bruce Boxlietner was gorgeous. And let us not forget Hugh Grant, he has improved with age.	positive
0	Didn't work with my Toyota Camry!	I bought this to fit it in my Toyota Camry V6. i couldn't make it to work with my tape system at all. I returned this item and Amazon was prompt with the refund.	negative
0	Waste of money	Please read all the one star reviews. They are all true. I have two of these loungers, new this spring. Difficult to inflate, but doable. Once inflated, they are very comfortable to lay on. Getting them out of the water is extremely difficult due to the amount of water that gets between the bladder and fabric covering, pretty much impossible for a smaller person. Another problem is that the buttons that hold the top and bottom side of the fabric to the bladder fall off, causing even more water to weigh the lounger down. All in all, very poor design and construction. Made in China.	negative
1	A classic! Brava, Jean Leinhouser!!	I bought this book some time ago as a refresher after not crocheting for years. It's still a classic that I refer to when I need a quick reminder, and I have also used it as an aid in instructing my friend's daughters when they wanted to learn after seeing the wonderful afghans I had produced just from the information in this book.If you could have only one book to learn crochet from the bottom up, I'd say that Learn to Crochet in Just One Day/Right Hand is the book for you.If you already have other books on crochet, but still find yourself struggling to work, I couldn't recommend this highly enough. It is so very well done, that it will be around forever teaching new generations how to crochet!Jean Leinhouser is the "high priestess" of the crochet craze that started back when I was in college, and her work continues to educate today. Brava, Jean!	positive
1	Outstanding Tribute to New York City	I first saw Suzanne Vega live back in the day, at the time of the release of her self-titled first album (she opened for Janis Ian), and I've had many meals sitting at the counter in the diner on the corner. And over the two decades she's proven to be one of our finest singer-songwriters.This tribute to her native city just might be her best effort. My favorite tracks are "Zephyr," "Frank and Ava" (both with backing vocals by KT Tunstall), "Anniversary," which closes the album. And then there's the amazing "New York Is a Woman," which just might be the best song she's ever written.Don't pass this one by.	positive
0	Not Recommended...	I had a huge issue with pilling as well - it made the sheets incredibly uncomfortable, not smooth at all. Plus, it seemed to create a magnet for cat hair. After owning the sheets for six months, I just threw them away.	negative
1	"Carl Melcher" Should be Required Reading	I've read a lot of novels about the Vietnam war, but "Carl Melcher Goes to Vietnam" ranks right up there with the best of them. From the first page the reader is drawn into the story completely and experiences the alternating tedium and tension, the mysterious jungle, the underlying conflict between black and white soldiers, the friendships made and the brutal reality of their being taken away -- in essence all the daily nuances of the common soldier's Vietnam War experience. The characters of this story come alive and stay in the reader's head for a long time after finishing the last page. This carefully-crafted novel made me a Paul Clayton fan, and I'm eagerly waiting for his next one.	positive
0	Nothing spectacular	Not the worst thing I ever read, but I can't say I was too impressed either. If you overlook the grammatical and spelling errors, you'll find a science fiction story that seems to want to be taken very seriously, but at the same time is based on such a ludicrous premise that it's just impossible to do so. The primary character of Trenton Stowel is the centerpiece of the story, and I wanted to like him but I just didn't find him all that engaging (at one point in the story his mysterious interviewer tells Stowel, and by proxy the reader, that Stowel is 'definitely very interesting'; I'm glad at least the other characters thought so, but stating it outright don't make it so). Again, not the worst thing I've ever read, but amateurish in both content and presentation, and certainly not worth it's relatively large price tag.	negative
1	SAW THEM IN CONCERT	I saw JCS live at the EDGE b-day bash and they kicked ass they played the one chord song but my favorite was high because Jimi HAHA is a freakin idot jumpin around saying,,,, HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH	positive
1	An Underated Al Stewart Album	I'm not sure why this album did not receive the recognition it deserved at the time of its release. The title song is a delight, as are Red Toupee and, one of my all time favorites, Antartica. This is Al near the top of his game.	positive
1	Now I want one too!	I bought this for our 16 year old who is dabbling a bit in sewing, it is very well made, much better than a few others of this size I had seen! Their is thick padding and a nice cotton cover too, it folds and unfolds very easily. If you want a small board for small projects, this is the deal!	positive

1	Adorable Plush Animal For Dog Lovers	If you're looking for a realistic-looking plush corgi, this is it! It was a little smaller than I anticipated, but cuddly. The toy does shed a little.

It may not be good for children who do not take care of stuff because though it is washable, I don't know how constant washing would change the softness of the corgi.	positive
1	thanks, elliott	while not his best album by any means, one must remember that elliott was not present to consent to the final cut of this album. "from a basement on the hill" was originally intended to be a double album, so its anybody's guess what tracks elliott would've wanted to appear on this album.that being said, this album is rather amazing, much like anything else elliott has done. the album is sonically diverse, yet retains the trademark elliott smith features: beautiful melodies sprinkled with emotional lyrics raw enough to bring tears to the eyes of even the coldest, cynical bastard. this album is a fitting end to elliott smith's legacy. a fond farewell to a friend indeed...elliott smith's music gave a voice to a plethora of feelings many of us are too afraid to mention, much less expose to the public, and for that we are forever grateful. thank you elliott, for having the strength to bear the sorrows we could not. you will be missed.	positive
1	Authentic Flavor of the Old South	This book is a rich, dreamy blend of the "real" New Orleans. It's fascinating and comfortable, just like the two elderly authors must be. I worked with a gentleman who was related to these two ladies. He lent me the book when I spoke of wanting to visit and delve into historic New Orleans as opposed to its sleazy facade. He didn't have extra books at the time, and the one he'd lent me was a prize possession of his family, so I couldn't keep it. I have been looking for this book ever since, about 6 or 7 years (!), and have deliberately put off a trip to the Crescent City until I could get my hands on this book. I'm delighted to be able to buy and keep the book! And I'll be delighted to visit New Orleans with it in my hands!	positive

1	journalist perspective of the war in Nicaragua	Overall this was a good detailed read about the Sandinista revolution and the contra war from a New York Times journalist's viewpoint. He spread the blame around to about all parties involved.There is minimal info on pre-Sandinista revolution history.Author sprinkles the book with a few pages patting himself on the back, regarding peripheral journalistic acomplishments, but these can be skimmed over or forgiven.I wish all history books would contain a couple of pages with the timeline of important events. Like most books, this one does not.	positive
1	B-5 Rules.	Babylon 5 was an awesome television series and these movies were no exception. JMS has a exceptional mind that developed this series from start to finish that has serious philosophilcal implications, and the movies are just part-and-parcel of this philosophical fabric. But more than that, JMS considered the implications of items he introduced early in the series that he followed through on during the entire series, and in these movies. They are entertaining, they are subtle and they force any attentive, mature viewers to think about what it is that they are watching and even think about the reality we live in, and how future changes to the human condition could realistically play out. JMS wove a fabric, and there are very few "runs" in this fabric. Highest reccomendations.	positive
0	Wretched, wretched crap.	If, like me, you liked the first two (for some reason that completely escapes me now), you probably want to read this one. Don't bother. Make up your own ending. Hell, publish it online as fanfiction to really piss off the hack whose name is on the cover, who can't be bothered to create interesting characters but that's okay, he's going to start killing them soon enough. Boring, repulsive, rambling, violent, and showing absolutely no respect for the reader, this is one of THE worst books I have ever read.It gives me a great deal of pleasure to be able to truly say that Jordan dead is a much better author than Martin ever could be alive.	negative

0	Take out the Trash!	Give me a break. This was one of the most boring and annoying movies I've ever seen. The music was irritating, the dialog was ridiculous and the "Masked Party" was comical instead of erotic. I thought the beginning was interesting but somewhere between the first prostitute and the orgy the storyline lost my interest. The part where the costume shop owner turns his daughter into a prostitute overnight was a real gem. What garbage! The only reason I gave it one star was because the acting was decent.	negative

By the end of the class even the instructor gave up on the book. This term the instructor went back to the Classroom in a Book even though it's for AE 5.0, and rightfully so.The examples are impossible to follow, the support files are incomplete. It's just a pain to learn from.	negative
0	Not impressed	Well, I purchased the Dyson Root 6, and I must say, I am very unhappy with it. The 6 minute battery life coupled with the awkward heaviness of the item makes it extremely annoying to use. If the Root 6 had the capability to plug into a wall, I wouldn't be writing this negative review. I'd probably be okay with how heavy and difficult it is to handle, but it seems ridiculous to me that I spent $150 on a product that works for 6 minutes at a time. Not to mention it doesn't even lift pet hair off of fabric. My el cheapo Bissell does that with no problem.I gave it 2 stars instead of 1 because it does actually work, it's just not practical. Furthermore, it would be nice if the box said that it only stays charged for 6 minutes. I wouldn't have purchased it if I had known beforehand. Serves me right for not doing research, but at the same time, when you see a name like "Dyson" you expect it to be a good product, worth the extra money.Sadly, this was a waste. I'm returning it to Best Buy.	negative
0	I lost my plant	The plant became to dry in the moment I put out of the box. I planted it in a new planter, placed inside my office close by a window and watered 3 times a week. Two days later it became to lost the leaves and had no one leaf more after two weeks. I sent an email to the seller and he said I should keep watering and it should come back. Never came back. The seller refund me with no questions, but I still sad because I would love to have a jabuticaba tree for personal reasons and now they don't sell it anymore.	negative

Not a great fit

I purchased this for my husbands 1996 chevy c1500. As he installed them, both broke on various corners. He was not rough with them at all, so it was not because of being careless. The taillights are also not a proper fit,there is a gap. I checked before buying, that these would fit his vehicle and was assured they would. Because of all this, I dont recommend them.

Good Value, could use better implementation

I bought this about three weeks ago. The software installed easily, and downloading .MP3 format music is a snap. I use 64kps encoding (I walk to work in a busy city -- the ambient noise level is high so I'd rather trade number of titles for sound quality). I've been very pleased with the sound quality and ease of use. The controls are relatively simple and intuitive, but some basic procedures -- setting the clock for instance -- could be made easier.The major downside is the constuction of the instrument. The battery case cover slips off from time to time and it does not seem to matter how I secure it. Sooner or later I'm going to lose that part. The overall feel is flimsy, but having said that, the fact is that it has bounced around in my pack for several weeks and been on several plane flights with out a hitch.Overall a pretty good value.

Man, these guys suck a$$. When all your fans are suburban jr.high school mostly filled with white kids wearing abercombie & fitch, you know you aint doing to well in the rap game. If you want real bank head music get dem franchise boyz at least they have something to talk about instead of focusing on just the beats. these guys are the worst thing to happen to hip hop sine vanilla ice. The reason y these guys suck so bad is mostly because mike jones helped them. The only other thing helping these fags sell is MTV.

Emphasis on oil

A hundred different painters explain how they tackled in their paintings one of the most difficult, elusive and rewarding subjects: people. Each painting gets a page long explanation, focused in one of the techniques employed or in some creativity issue relevant to the subject matter. The fact that most artists list the colors they used is definitely a plus. My only qualm with this book are that, being watercolor my medium of choice, I found this books places a lot of attention in oil (and if you're a pastelist or use some other technique, you're in an even worse position). Another minor flaw is the fact that the beautiful picture on the cover is not of those analyzed inside. However, I am being nitpicky, as this book is beatiful and inspiring, and will help anyone seeking to expand his or her creative horizons-

It just works

Here's my home network:One wired desktop PC, wired TV, wired Bluray, wired Xbox360, Wifi: 1 laptop, 2 cell phones, 1 android tablet, 1 wifi printer.This router for me replaced an old G router and it's like a whole new internet. My old router's wirless signal couldn't cover my entire apartment and now I have signal in the backyard. My wired devices are now connected at 1GB/s instead of 100MB/s.My old router had to have a bunch of custom routing and port rules for Netflix and Xbox Live to work right, this one I just plugged in and it worked. The only thing I did was set the channel to a less crowded one and renamed the wifi network name and set my password. Took about 5 minutes.It includes an vertical stand as well, which I use and it's alright, the pressure of the wires connected to it kind of have more leverage than the grip of the stand so I had to pull the wires around a bit to give them some slack so it stood in place.

Liar

Kelly Flinn was not "forced" to resign, she accepted a resignation because she knew she would be convicted. Her crime was not "falling love with the wrong man," her crime (in addition to adultery) was disobeying a lawful order to cease the relationship. Kelly Flinn and the feminists who love her saw her case as another example of an out of touch military hell bent on railroading her promising career. Hogwash. The reality is that she was given several opportunities to end the relationship. She instead chose to disobey direct orders. Rather comforting knowing that she was piloting nuclear capable aircraft. She played the media card and boo-hooed on 60 minutes. The Air Force, in an effort to protect HER privacy, kept quiet. It cost them in the PR battle, but they won the war, because Flinn no longer wears the uniform. This book is spin at its ugliest, don't waste your money.

Huge disappointment!

Henry Morton, my favorite Bow Street Runner from "The Thief Taker", is back again. However, this time I was not intrigued by the mystery he is attempting to solve. The mistress of a count is found dead, having been tortured by thumbscrews. Napoleon has been captured and is being held on a ship in Plymouth Harbor after a lengthy war with England. People on small boats flock to catch a glimpse of him. As other murders occur, Henry is sent on a long chase to capture the murderer.Maybe I am not enough of a history buff to keep the loyalists and royalists straight in my mind. Or maybe I just didn't care enough about the characters or the plot line. Either way, this book was a chore to finish. Perhaps that is why it didn't even merit a hard-cover publication.

Definitely not one of my a favorites!

If you like books that aer mysterious, funny, and action packed... then The Wheel on the School is NOT the book for you! This book is boring to read because these people who live in a small town called Shora are trying to find a wheel to put on top of the local town school. The reason they are going to put a wheel on a school is because they want Storks [ a bird ]to come to town and stay there! how dumb is that? It took me about a month to read this book because it was hard to understand! sometimes i found myself reading a page two or three times to try to understand, but i just didn't get it! The ONLY reason i read this book is because i wanted to make a good grade in English class!!

Nice Gloves

Great gloves for moderately low temperatures. Could be a little warmer, but if you're only going out for a little while or if its above 20F, your hands will be warm. Haven't stuck my hands in water so not sure how waterproof they really are, but in snow they seem to stay dry. They look pretty slick too, so that's a bonus :) The grip on these gloves is amazing, no slippage will be going on with these!

Vivid image - easy to use and organize

I've had experience with these sorts of frames by other manufacturers in the past - and it was not enjoyable. This one is a clear exception. The ability to dump pre-organized photos onto the frame via USB cable from your computer, couldn't be easier. And once there - this frame offers the ability to select multiple photos and delete them through the frame, instead of the cumbesome one-at-a-time or ALL delete functions on other frames. The image quality is great - and the big test: the grandparents figured out how to use it!

Returned twice

Although the concept of this heater seemed great, it did not live up to expectations. I had to return it twice before giving up on it entirely. It did heat the space quite nicely, but it would randomly just shut off on its own. When I contacted the company the first time, they said it should never shut off unless turned off. This was critical in my case because I was concerned about freezing temperatures - not acceptable.

Only after you've read everything else

This is a hard core conservative's dream book of truth. Hard core liberals will read it to make them feel superior. Unfortunately it's just a bad book that seems to have been, literally, thrown together. Repitition and bad editing are evident throughout.The first 2 chapters about early calls and the probable effect on voting nationwide are pretty interesting. Not only is the case laid out pretty well but the topic has never been widely covered. No doubt because the people who caused the problem are the one's who would have to do the covering.After these chapters, it's pretty much the same formula over and over. Gore, and almost everybody who worked for his campaign, are vile swill. Bush, and the Bushies, are honest, fearless, etc. While undoubtedly true, it gets boring and really not worth reading.

Dog Day

Dog Day was not one of Lee Marvin's best films, not by a long shot. It was perhaps one of his worst films I have ever seen. I would not recommend this film to anyone, as you will be sorely disappointed with the entire cast. Many of whom are not well known in the U.S.I give this film a rating of less than (1). For me it was a zero!Condition Red was predictable and not a good prison film, as prison films go. Condition was shown on regular TV, and I saw it when it first aired, but was not impressed with it at all. Another zero rating...

You cannot see nor turst the numbers--then the whole thing just goes kaput after a year.

Beautiful, but not perfect.

I read a few of the reviews for this book and I feel compelled to do a review of my own, because, I am sorry to say, they totally misrepresented it.In a culture where girls are brought up to be sold in marriage and their individuality and freedom is often repressed, Shabanu has a spirit that cannot be quenched by the stick striking across her ribs, or the rules of tradition followed by countless generations of women. Her elder sister, Phulan, is beautiful, but "beauty is only skin deep", especially in her case.This is the first book I've read from the point of view of a Muslim girl, and it's really opened my eyes about how life can be for them. I look forward to reading more of Suzanne Fisher Staples's work.

Fantastic Book

What were these three sisters doing to produce such great books in such short lives? This book is ahead of its time, and a page turner. Yes, a Victorian page turner. Everytime I thought the problem was about as bad as it could get and Anne Bronte would start wrapping it up, it got worse. For those who have read it, I've got to say Frederick Lawrence is far too forgiving...As for the writing, I had to admire how Anne Bronte let the reader in on things that went right over the heads of her narrators. This book is still fresh and well worth the time.

Matchbox Twenty have come up with their best song yet! The intro is so wonderful, it's amazing they managed to come up with a song that's just as good. However, the song is hysterically funny to anyone who was brought up with the British slang definition of "bent". If you know what I'm talking about, just try to listen to it without laughing! Even with the unintentional double entendre, this is a fine piece of music from a band that keeps on getting better and better. Thanks to Mb20 for making something that's ever more rare - populist rock music that's actually GOOD!

As a huge long time T-Bone Burnett fan (I saw him in Austin in '83 or '84), I was eagerly awaiting the newest CD. I was very disappointed. The songs were just not that good.

I have only listened to it twice (so I am giving it one more listen), but I urge people to purchase Twenty Twenty. An excellent album with a good booklet to go along with it.

not what i expected

I did a pretty thorough search for a book that would cover Mediterranean history, cultures, and geography- and settled on this book as my first choice. I was only able to get through about 1/3 of the book before I lost interest and put it on the shelf.I found it to be primarily focused on leaders and wars, with little insight into the real lives of people. Because of the focus on leaders, the names became (for me) hard to follow and confusing. Each section seems to become predictable- focusing on X leader who brings Y troops to Z land, and either wins/pillages or loses.There are some interesting tidbits that are cited as part of the war stories, including details on post-war carnage, or of leaders who showed restraint. However, not near enough information on the lives of normal people that lived in the Med. region over the past few thousand years.

Kindle owner's review

I have owned my kindle for 6 months and absolutely love it. I wonder how I ever lived without it. I have saved a lot of money and already have three pages of books I have read since owning it. I would recommend a kindle to anyone. I have the earlier kindle, a little larger, but it doesn't matter. I also have the leather cover, and many times don't take it out of the cover to read it. I think it stays better protected when in the cover, especially if travelling. Thanks Amazon for developing the Kindle.

Sublime Ravel

It is easy to put off buying this set when looking at the recording date (1955) and the fact the sound was originally monaural. Don't make that mistake. These are Ravel performances of the very highest order. For me Perlemuter is to Ravel's piano music what Gieseking is to Debussy's. Even in the 2 concertos Perlemuter and Jascha Horenstein (was he inspired by Perlemuter?}reach new heights. The sound is good enough to bring out every nuance. every subtlety. 155 minutes of suberb music at the price of one medium priced CD is quite a bargain.

Absolutely Perfect

I found that I ran into a problem; this was my significant other's absolute favorite movie of all time, but it happened to be firmly locked in the vault. Then, I found this movie and it completely surprised me and I just had to buy it. Now we have a tradition of buying a new movie for the other person whenever they have to leave on a trip - and I've been working on completing her Disney collection. Chances are, if this seller has any more movies from the vault, I'll be back as a buyer

A very long-time customer quits

IN MY OPINION --Over the past year or so: too many of my Duracel batteries have leaked. One took the stain finish off my wooden table top (shape of the battery). Another ruined a TV controller and several others leaked and required the controllers to be meticuously cleaned before they were again operational.

Should have stayed hidden underground

This is a terrible live recording. It is cheaply done(sounds like Twenty dollar tape recorder. the playing is Okay but the singing I think is awful. Reading the back we know why it was released but I think it should have stayed on the cutting room floor. StayAway

Range Clean drip pans

The product arrived in perfect condition a day earlier than promised. They fit my Kenmore range perfectly. I couldn't be happier with this product. I haven't had them long enough to need to clean them but am unconcerned because at the price I could buy them once a month if I needed to! I was unable to get chrome for my black range from Sears. They had only black replacements which were very difficult to clean and cost $19 dollars for EACH large pan. See why I'm happy?

Good Jacket

I really enjoy wearing this jacket. It's not quite as warm as I'd expected, but it's pretty warm, considering how extremely lightweight it is. It looks good; I'm always getting compliments on it. The workmanship on the jacket seems quite good.The draw strings around the waist wouldn't stay drawn until I found the slider clips inside pockets in the jacket lining. A tag indicating their location would have been helpful.My minor complaints (the jacket could be a bit warmer, and the drawstring question) made this a 4 star review, instead of a 5, but on the whole I'm quite happy with the jacket.

Excellent

I don't have his other two albums, but I bought this on the day it came out. Popped it in the cd player and was slightly disappointed. As another reviewer said, the songs all kind of sounded the same and were "OK". However, with a few more listens, I was totally hooked. This is an excellent album. I'm gonna buy the other two now.

I loved this original TV series when it aired. And still today it was enjoyable to watch after a decade. Courtney Cox was young, and Bruce Boxlietner was gorgeous. And let us not forget Hugh Grant, he has improved with age.

Waste of money

Please read all the one star reviews. They are all true. I have two of these loungers, new this spring. Difficult to inflate, but doable. Once inflated, they are very comfortable to lay on. Getting them out of the water is extremely difficult due to the amount of water that gets between the bladder and fabric covering, pretty much impossible for a smaller person. Another problem is that the buttons that hold the top and bottom side of the fabric to the bladder fall off, causing even more water to weigh the lounger down. All in all, very poor design and construction. Made in China.

A classic! Brava, Jean Leinhouser!!

I bought this book some time ago as a refresher after not crocheting for years. It's still a classic that I refer to when I need a quick reminder, and I have also used it as an aid in instructing my friend's daughters when they wanted to learn after seeing the wonderful afghans I had produced just from the information in this book.If you could have only one book to learn crochet from the bottom up, I'd say that Learn to Crochet in Just One Day/Right Hand is the book for you.If you already have other books on crochet, but still find yourself struggling to work, I couldn't recommend this highly enough. It is so very well done, that it will be around forever teaching new generations how to crochet!Jean Leinhouser is the "high priestess" of the crochet craze that started back when I was in college, and her work continues to educate today. Brava, Jean!

Outstanding Tribute to New York City

I first saw Suzanne Vega live back in the day, at the time of the release of her self-titled first album (she opened for Janis Ian), and I've had many meals sitting at the counter in the diner on the corner. And over the two decades she's proven to be one of our finest singer-songwriters.This tribute to her native city just might be her best effort. My favorite tracks are "Zephyr," "Frank and Ava" (both with backing vocals by KT Tunstall), "Anniversary," which closes the album. And then there's the amazing "New York Is a Woman," which just might be the best song she's ever written.Don't pass this one by.

Not Recommended...

I had a huge issue with pilling as well - it made the sheets incredibly uncomfortable, not smooth at all. Plus, it seemed to create a magnet for cat hair. After owning the sheets for six months, I just threw them away.

"Carl Melcher" Should be Required Reading

I've read a lot of novels about the Vietnam war, but "Carl Melcher Goes to Vietnam" ranks right up there with the best of them. From the first page the reader is drawn into the story completely and experiences the alternating tedium and tension, the mysterious jungle, the underlying conflict between black and white soldiers, the friendships made and the brutal reality of their being taken away -- in essence all the daily nuances of the common soldier's Vietnam War experience. The characters of this story come alive and stay in the reader's head for a long time after finishing the last page. This carefully-crafted novel made me a Paul Clayton fan, and I'm eagerly waiting for his next one.

Nothing spectacular

Not the worst thing I ever read, but I can't say I was too impressed either. If you overlook the grammatical and spelling errors, you'll find a science fiction story that seems to want to be taken very seriously, but at the same time is based on such a ludicrous premise that it's just impossible to do so. The primary character of Trenton Stowel is the centerpiece of the story, and I wanted to like him but I just didn't find him all that engaging (at one point in the story his mysterious interviewer tells Stowel, and by proxy the reader, that Stowel is 'definitely very interesting'; I'm glad at least the other characters thought so, but stating it outright don't make it so). Again, not the worst thing I've ever read, but amateurish in both content and presentation, and certainly not worth it's relatively large price tag.

An Underated Al Stewart Album

I'm not sure why this album did not receive the recognition it deserved at the time of its release. The title song is a delight, as are Red Toupee and, one of my all time favorites, Antartica. This is Al near the top of his game.

Now I want one too!

I bought this for our 16 year old who is dabbling a bit in sewing, it is very well made, much better than a few others of this size I had seen! Their is thick padding and a nice cotton cover too, it folds and unfolds very easily. If you want a small board for small projects, this is the deal!

Save yourself the money and get the torrent. This movie is AWFUL. How did they ever get Kris kristofferson to be in this film I have no clue. It's the worst piece of filmmaking trash since Candyman 2. I read the book and the book was excellent. I wish I could give negative stars.

Adorable Plush Animal For Dog Lovers

If you're looking for a realistic-looking plush corgi, this is it! It was a little smaller than I anticipated, but cuddly. The toy does shed a little. I think it is a wonderful gift for dog lovers of all ages. It may not be good for children who do not take care of stuff because though it is washable, I don't know how constant washing would change the softness of the corgi.

thanks, elliott

while not his best album by any means, one must remember that elliott was not present to consent to the final cut of this album. "from a basement on the hill" was originally intended to be a double album, so its anybody's guess what tracks elliott would've wanted to appear on this album.that being said, this album is rather amazing, much like anything else elliott has done. the album is sonically diverse, yet retains the trademark elliott smith features: beautiful melodies sprinkled with emotional lyrics raw enough to bring tears to the eyes of even the coldest, cynical bastard. this album is a fitting end to elliott smith's legacy. a fond farewell to a friend indeed...elliott smith's music gave a voice to a plethora of feelings many of us are too afraid to mention, much less expose to the public, and for that we are forever grateful. thank you elliott, for having the strength to bear the sorrows we could not. you will be missed.

Authentic Flavor of the Old South

This book is a rich, dreamy blend of the "real" New Orleans. It's fascinating and comfortable, just like the two elderly authors must be. I worked with a gentleman who was related to these two ladies. He lent me the book when I spoke of wanting to visit and delve into historic New Orleans as opposed to its sleazy facade. He didn't have extra books at the time, and the one he'd lent me was a prize possession of his family, so I couldn't keep it. I have been looking for this book ever since, about 6 or 7 years (!), and have deliberately put off a trip to the Crescent City until I could get my hands on this book. I'm delighted to be able to buy and keep the book! And I'll be delighted to visit New Orleans with it in my hands!

journalist perspective of the war in Nicaragua

Overall this was a good detailed read about the Sandinista revolution and the contra war from a New York Times journalist's viewpoint. He spread the blame around to about all parties involved.There is minimal info on pre-Sandinista revolution history.Author sprinkles the book with a few pages patting himself on the back, regarding peripheral journalistic acomplishments, but these can be skimmed over or forgiven.I wish all history books would contain a couple of pages with the timeline of important events. Like most books, this one does not.

B-5 Rules.

Babylon 5 was an awesome television series and these movies were no exception. JMS has a exceptional mind that developed this series from start to finish that has serious philosophilcal implications, and the movies are just part-and-parcel of this philosophical fabric. But more than that, JMS considered the implications of items he introduced early in the series that he followed through on during the entire series, and in these movies. They are entertaining, they are subtle and they force any attentive, mature viewers to think about what it is that they are watching and even think about the reality we live in, and how future changes to the human condition could realistically play out. JMS wove a fabric, and there are very few "runs" in this fabric. Highest reccomendations.

Wretched, wretched crap.

If, like me, you liked the first two (for some reason that completely escapes me now), you probably want to read this one. Don't bother. Make up your own ending. Hell, publish it online as fanfiction to really piss off the hack whose name is on the cover, who can't be bothered to create interesting characters but that's okay, he's going to start killing them soon enough. Boring, repulsive, rambling, violent, and showing absolutely no respect for the reader, this is one of THE worst books I have ever read.It gives me a great deal of pleasure to be able to truly say that Jordan dead is a much better author than Martin ever could be alive.

Take out the Trash!

Give me a break. This was one of the most boring and annoying movies I've ever seen. The music was irritating, the dialog was ridiculous and the "Masked Party" was comical instead of erotic. I thought the beginning was interesting but somewhere between the first prostitute and the orgy the storyline lost my interest. The part where the costume shop owner turns his daughter into a prostitute overnight was a real gem. What garbage! The only reason I gave it one star was because the acting was decent.

waste of time

I wish I hadn't opened the CD encasing so I could return it and get my money back. Unfortunately, it was required for an AfterEffects class last term and I had no choice. By the end of the class even the instructor gave up on the book. This term the instructor went back to the Classroom in a Book even though it's for AE 5.0, and rightfully so.The examples are impossible to follow, the support files are incomplete. It's just a pain to learn from.

Not impressed

Well, I purchased the Dyson Root 6, and I must say, I am very unhappy with it. The 6 minute battery life coupled with the awkward heaviness of the item makes it extremely annoying to use. If the Root 6 had the capability to plug into a wall, I wouldn't be writing this negative review. I'd probably be okay with how heavy and difficult it is to handle, but it seems ridiculous to me that I spent $150 on a product that works for 6 minutes at a time. Not to mention it doesn't even lift pet hair off of fabric. My el cheapo Bissell does that with no problem.I gave it 2 stars instead of 1 because it does actually work, it's just not practical. Furthermore, it would be nice if the box said that it only stays charged for 6 minutes. I wouldn't have purchased it if I had known beforehand. Serves me right for not doing research, but at the same time, when you see a name like "Dyson" you expect it to be a good product, worth the extra money.Sadly, this was a waste. I'm returning it to Best Buy.

I lost my plant

The plant became to dry in the moment I put out of the box. I planted it in a new planter, placed inside my office close by a window and watered 3 times a week. Two days later it became to lost the leaves and had no one leaf more after two weeks. I sent an email to the seller and he said I should keep watering and it should come back. Never came back. The seller refund me with no questions, but I still sad because I would love to have a jabuticaba tree for personal reasons and now they don't sell it anymore.
