0	Deliberate white band long before toner is used up	Beware this Lexmark "high-yield" toner cartridge. A deliberate white band appears on all pages long before the toner itself is exhausted. The white band -- a uniform area where no toner is deposited -- is about 1/8 of an inch wide and appears about 3/4 of an inch from the right side of an 8-1/2 x 11 letter-size page. The band is obviously deliberate (uniform location and width; sharp edges; no toner deposited at all; band appears after about 5000 pages have been printed). Once the band appears, the cartridge is only useful for printing documents with large (1-inch) margins. (Note: I checked my laser printer carefully -- including installing a different cartridge -- to rule out the printer as the source of the problem.)	negative
0	A truly strange book, often moving but in the end a letdown	I opened this book "blind" - without any reviews or even a dust jacket blurb - and so was totally surprised by the turn the story takes when the "film festival" begins, and the presumed main plot turns out to be only a shell.I think it would have been a much better read if the "past" and "present" storylines had been interwoven with one another rather than the story A prelude-story B-story A postlude as written.And sorry to say, I found the ending totally unsatisfying.	negative
0	Just throw away the pen, don't buy these refills	I have bought a few of these and every one of them is next to impossible to write with. I have no idea what the problem might be or why something that appears so simple is almost completely useless. Might as well throw away your pen. Would have bought in a "regular" store if I could have found them and returned, but with the hassle, time, and cost to return it after purchasing online doesn't make sense.	negative
1	Enjoyable movie	This is a fun movie!Cuba Gooding, Jr and James Colburn were hilarious, together! Cannot leave out the beautiful dogs - their love of sledding, their teamwork and their sense of humor! A great movie to escape to from the stresses of our lives.	positive
0	Not For Every Dog	I wanted to love this head collar, as my 80# male German Shepherd is doing fine with his, but my 45# female German Shepherd managed to break hers within two weeks of purchase. She was walking very nicely on it, but faced with wanting to make contact with barking neighbor dogs it finally failed. Luckily we were on our own street, and the dogs in question were behind a fence, but it was frightening all the same. Had we been on a busy street I could have lost my dog! I wouldn't recommend this collar to anyone now.	negative
1	A book to read, and re-read, to talk about, and give to another	One cannot praise enough the work of this author. I have read works on Christ from Geis to White to Riciotti to Sheen. It has its own starting point, and its own end point. One works through Shusaku Endo's text marveling at its simplicity, gentleness, and warmth. Not scholarly, it does not miss a beat in offending the academic exegetes of today whose attempts at commentary Endo leaves far, far behind with his display of understanding and appreciation of this Christ. And the book's end point-- one is saddened when it comes because through Endo one has been brought back to the life of a great and good Man, Whom many still today believe was God incarnate. Endo has gone far in persuading the reader that the belief is not misguided.	positive
0	absurdist masterpiece, Dadaisms' belated but finest hour	This book definitely made a huge impression on me when I first attempted to grok it upon some hipsters recommendation. Now I consider myself a bit of a wordsmith and I enjoy heady, verbose literature even seeking out extreme examples(niche scientific journals((astro-physics, etc..)) just for the sheer entertainment value of perusing esoteric terminology. But this franken-book takes the cake uber alles. This book should come with a warning: !AVISO! FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY!, not the least of which should entail incredulous ridicule at the convulsions of lingual transfiguration signifying nothing which occur so profusely here. Paulo's chronic and protracted pscho-masturbatory transgressions against all speaking peoples should serve as a high-water mark for all writers seeking to crucify their intellects on the cross of academia. Beware of those who find this meaningful.	negative
0	Extremely painful! Don't buy!	I bought these at a store sale because they looked so cute and I LOVE LOVE shoes. I always wear tall heels too so the height didn't scare me. HOWEVER, these are probably the most uncomfortable wedges/shoes I have ever had. After about 15 minutes, my feet were killing me!! The toe divider is way too thin of a strap without any padding, so it just cuts into your skin. Plus, even though I am used to high shoes, these are somehow made poorly so that your feet definitely put all the weight on your balls, which puts even more pain into the feet and toes. I tried wearing them 2 more times to give them another shot, and again- these were SOOOO uncomfortable. Threw them out.	negative
0	Hmmmm.........	Well....my mother always told me that if I couldn't say anything good about someone (something) I shouldn't say it; thus, it sure is a mighty fine day out today, eh?	negative
0	Two Thumbs Way, Way Down	Yet another example crops up in America's self torture over JFK Conspiracy Theories. Although some of the author's notes have proved useful to me in my own research on New Orleans Crime, I could not help but feel disapointed that he wouldn't shut his fat face about the Kennedy Assassination. What the hell is he smoking! Does he take us all for a pack of idiots?! There is so much evidence Oswald was alone, that any attempt to pin the act on a "Vast Right Wing Conspiracy" would have to make it the one that Oliver Stone described. In a word, so huge and so extensive as to be nothing but a big joke. (The FBI and the CIA working together, that's the one I really loved!) Mr Davis would have been better served if he had just stuck to the story of one of America's most notorious criminals, instead of chasing off on some drug induced conspiracy theory. That is why my only regret is that I couldn't give this book no stars. This book wasn't worth the paper it was written on.	negative
1	how I envy their composing! Brilliant!	"Wow. Oh my...wow." These are the thoughts that were going through my mind when I first listened to the whole CD of "Into the Rush" by Aly & AJ. It's really cool to think that two girls only a little older than I can really make this kind of music. It's awe inspiring. Honestly. I agree with Eri (Hong Kong), she really summed it up in her review. All I want to add, is that when you listen to this kind of music, it kind of lifts your heart up, raises your spirits, and it just makes you feel like suddenly, so many more things are possible.That probably sounds cheesy, doesn't it? Isn't it weird how something so cheesy, can be so true?? Please, at least listen to this CD. I'm telling the truth when I say that it is awesome!!	positive
0	works 1/2 way	this game is fun at first, but a few hours into it, it crashes, and even with the patch that was supposed to fix that problem it started crashing sooner and sooner. lost most of my game and finally quit due to frustration.	negative
0	What was he thinking?	I am huge Garth Brooks fan so I was really excited to hear he was releasing a new CD. When I read about the concept of it I was intrigued. So I finally was able to buy and I listened to the first half. that was about all I stand. It was horrible. The next day I put it on again to see if I could stomach more of it. I made it through the entire CD but didn't really care for it at all. He needs to stick to country.	negative
0	Garbage	What a peace of garbage, won't register, nothing wrong with my internet connection. Won't down load, hours of frustration, took a couple hours off to cool off, try again, then the same old crap. This is going back. Only reason it gets one star is because there's nothing less.	negative
0	WASTE OF MONEY	this is the worst game for my gba it is a complete waste of money. After I got I played it once and I got bored of it. I played it a few more times just to keep an open mind and I hate it. There are like 5 guys in the whole level, the story is ridiculus, the gameplay is boring and repetitive and the few guns are basically all the same.(...) They have a bubble gun for gods sake! This game is a first person shooter without the shooter. For the same price you could get Doom or Dark Arena when it comes out	negative
1	Best Book that I have read on Janis	I have read most of the books written on Janis (with the exception of "Love, Janis"). "Pearl" is the book that I have liked the most. Author interviewed an impressive number of persons from both Port Arthur and Frisco. Interviewees included former High School friends, members of Big Brother and Kris Kristofferson. Discovered some facts about JJ that I was not aware of. I hope these facts are true. I do not want to disclose any of unknown (to me) facts so I don't spoil other readers enjoyment. I LOVED this book.	positive
0	Amazon needs to specify the make of musical instruments.	I've checked several listings for piccolos for sale. No indication of the brand/make/manufacturer is provided. This isn't satisfactory for potential buyers!	negative
0	not that amusing	Although this movie has some amusing, and almost entertaining qualities, I found that is was just not my cup of tea. There was an insane level of gratuitous nastiness that put me off from the start of the movie. I did enjoy that, unlike a lot of Hollywood movies, it did have a plot that was beyond average. The movie was daring enough to go beyond socially acceptable norms, but perhaps it should have done so a little less graphically. I think that when a viewer is faced with blatant dysfunction in every character it is very disturbing, and that definitely happens in this movie. At a certain point in the movie you just want to escape, and find some way to make it all stop...the story, the characters, the craziness. Everything.	negative
1	Phenomenal Collection of Music	Pachelbel's Canon in D is always good, but the rest of the tracks shine as well. This is a superb collection of classical music. If you're new to classical music and love strings, purchase this CD. You'll be glad that you did.	positive
0	I'm returning it.	The video quality is nowhere near what I expected and I am disapointed enough to return it.Its got a good swivel and thats about it; the content that comes with it is so-so and the headset is pretty minimal.	negative
1	absolutely Inspirational	This is THE CD I listen to on the way to rehearsal. It truly inspires me to do my absolute best! You've got to love Roman Carnival - so excellent! I would recommend this CD to anyone, especially horn and brass players. These performers are just phenomenal. What else is there to say?	positive
0	Queensryche's Downward Spiral	After the refreshing "Hear in the Now Frontier," Queensryche has returned with an unfortunate change of style. After years of playing prog metal, it is odd that they waited until 1999 to begin picking up elements of industrial and grunge, even if they are from Seattle. The result is a forgettable set of songs and a major misstep. There are no highlights here to mention and die hard fans only need buy this one.	negative
1	intimate acoustic genious	Don't let the number of tracks fool you - From the Ground Up is a wonderful collection of Collective Soul A and B sides with the cords pulled out of the amps. The biggest plus for the album has to be its production quality. Each guitar strum, percussive strike, and vocal tone can be heard loud and clear. The tonal qualities are produced wonderfully and each sound compliments one another magnificently. I believe that She Said and Satellite are the stand-out tracks on the album, but From the Ground Up is a great Cd to just pop into the player and listen from beginning straight to the end. Grab it for the summer!	positive
0	sounds like a washing machine	It looks great -- one of the best fire optical illusions I've seen. Heats the room well, too.But it's so noisy I think I'll have to return it. I'm giving myself the weekend to see if I get accustomed to the noise, but it actually is more noisy than my (extra quiet) washing machine.It's possible that I got a lemon and just need to replace it. Hope so, because it adds a nice cozy ambiance to the room.	negative
0	Exploited Before Their Time	Okay, I know a billion people have completely blown off Hanson for a multitude of reasons. Unlike most of my friends (i'm 16 and a fanatical music collector), I chose to buy their cd to see for myself why so many people either loved them or hated them with such a passion. After listening to the entire cd, I've come to a distinct conclusion: the Hanson brothers simply haven't had enough time to develop as musicians or as a team, and were exploited at least four or five years before they've reached their potential. I will readily admit that all three of them possess substantial talent, especially the middle one and his singing voice, but they need time to round out. In addition, the moods and lyrics of nearly all of the songs were way too happy and omnipotent (AKA MmmBop) to successfully pervey a teen-ish real world mood. Overall, keep practicing, boys.	negative
0	Get Your Favorite Remixes from Singles	There are several problems with this album. First of all, most remixes are too long and too repetative. Some tracks are simply the original voices of the performers poorly married to a boring techno beat. The second problem is the overlapping tracks: each song begins on a previous track and ends before the track ends transforming into the next song. Admittedly, some Silence remixes are very good and I wanted to make my own compillation (even edit the songs to begin and end in the right place). However, the disk seems to have some kind of protection against copying, so I could not do even that. My advise: don't buy this, but try to get all Silence remixes on other disks.	negative
0	Wasted my time	Truly a Sad tale writen by a woman whose husband left her for his true love, his high school sweet heart. (Judged by this book, he did the right thing.) Laura Fraser's "Italian Affair" is nothing special, and very uninteresting. Now Fraser's book rests in my Trash can on its way to the city dump. It is a boring story of a middle age woman who travel thorugh Italy alone. We all have similar experiences in Italy, but not all of us will be so available nor insensitive enough to write about these boring encounters. I know I will not read anything written by Laura Fraser ever again in the future. At least I gained this knowledge.	negative
1	Lifesaving product but compartments do not close	I bought this tray and two others like it for my 90 year old father who is diabetic. While he lives independently, it has been hard for him to remember to take insulin or even whether he has taken it leading to his taking a second dose. With these trays, I put out needles in 3 trays (one for each dose) and by the day of the week. He now is taking his insulin reliably. My wishes for this product are that the compartments closed with syringes in them and that it was labeled with days of the week.	positive
0	Just okay..	This item doesn't fit comfortably into my hand,I have to hold it off center, also my fingers aren'tlong enough to wrap around it when it is fully extended.I have to use both hands to squeeze it down, then placeit into one hand to do the excersize.	negative
0	A horrible book written by an obvious novice.	As a former professor of physics, I am greatly concerned that this book will be viewed by non-physicists as being on par with some of the excellent "pedestrian" books on advanced physics, such as "A Brief History of Time" or "The Elegant Universe".Mr. Magueijo's attempts to explain elementary electrodynamics and mechanics show that his mastery of physics would not even earn him a passing grade in one of my freshman-level courses. I would not be at all surprised if Cambridge contacted Mr. Magueijo and demanded that he return his diploma.As a trained and working mathematician and physicist, I would consider this book good to have around...for when I was in need of a laugh. The hardcover version, I am sure, is well suited for use as a paperweight. And most certainly, a person freezing to death would find warmth and light by setting the book afire. Beyond those uses, this book cannot be considered anything other than a waste of paper and ink.	negative
1	Very, very good book	When I picked up this book, I expected to be disappointed. I hate pirate books (many of which are written by people with no idea of what pirates were, let alone what sailing on a ship was like), but I bought it because it was by "Laura London" the pseudonym of Sharon and Tom Curtis. Ten copies later (so I can loan them out) I still read it once or twice a year. The Curtis's have a wonderful quirky command of language that adds piquancy to their well-drawn sympathetic characters. Even the bit-part characters are three dimensional -- the major characters are incredible. If you haven't read this one, pick it up and enjoy the ride.	positive
0	not worth what i paid	i bought this under false pretenses. i thought it would come in better condition and i ended up not even being able to use it because of my system in my computer.	negative
0	Great singing, but the sound is very poor	Andrea Chenier is mostly for the tenor, and del Monaco gives a great preformens here, but you can hardly hear him, since the sound is very, very poor.Callas is good, and sings "la mamma morta" very well here, but she is unable to do great things with the relativly uninteresting part of Maddalena.And the sound again: Very, very, very bad!I am a great fan of Callas (and del Monaco, in his best days), but I regret having spendt money on this one.	negative
0	Shi-ite	This album is a total insult to the blues legends who wrote these wonderful songs.Any self respecting blues fan avoid this rubbish at all costs, it sucks.	negative
0	Pay for more opportunities to pay	If you like buying stuff you have to pay for again then this software is for you. I found nothing in it I cared about that wasn't a 10 day, 7 day, 15 day evaluation for which you can pay another sum of money (Usually $10) to unlock the secret code and actually play the game. Considering the fact that one can download trial software for free, charging for this disk is a rip-off.	negative
0	Jive on Rap	Houston Baker is a jive-artist and his book about rap is almost comical in its brazen incoherence and in its total rejection of logic and scholarship. The book is filled with outrageous assertions delivered in Baker's own unique style, full of street-corner swagger and flippancy. After reading a few pages of this stuff, the reader will ask, "Is this guy serious?" The correct answer, I believe, is "No". The whole performance is a put-on.	negative
1	MR. THE EDGE IS MAGIC!!!	I do like this album...you can feel Edge's soul inside!!His Guitar is amazing!!!..MR. THE EDGE YOU ARE ALWAYS THE BEST!!!	positive
1	Wonderful infant toy	This is a beautiful rattle. On one side of one of the beads there is a mirror. It also has a bell. My baby finds if facinating. It is made with many layers of non toxic varnish. No lead and no chipping paint. It is sure to become an heirloom.	positive
1	legend	There is no question, the man was an absolute genius. One has to search far and wide nowadays to find such genuine talent in songwriting. "Legend" sums up probably the cream of Lennon's post-Beatles achievements. This collection signifies the massive diversity that seems second nature to the man. From heart-rending and setemental classics such as "Jealous guy" (one of the most beautiful songs ever written), "Imagine", "Woman", "Love", "Beautiful boy", "Mother (with obvious connections to Lennon's poignant nickname for Yoko)"; to the social statements of "Working class hero (a finely crafted acoustic number)","Happy Xmas", and "Give peace a chance". But probably a personal favourite from the collection would have to be "Watching the wheels", it oozes Beatles-appeal, and just goes to show who was the talent behind the phenomenon. All in all, highly recommended to anyone who has been fortunate enough to discover the legend that is John Lennon. It was a sad, sad day when he was taken from us.	positive
0	Much smaller in real life	I was pretty disappointed when I received the Libman Curved Kitchen Brush. It is much smaller in person than what you imagine it to be from the pictures. The handle is about 5" long, and the bristle part is between 1 1/2 and 2" in diameter. The bristles are very stiff at first, but ease up a little with use. Bottom line: if you are looking for a small scrub brush with very stiff bristles, this is for you, if not, look elsewhere!	negative
0	really bad software.	After installing Mcafee security center, my machine was much slower. I used taskmanager to see what processes were slowing the machine. It was mcafee. Mcafee was eating up 30% of the cpu just with the machine sitting idle. Uninstalling the software is more difficult than getting rid of any virus. Real crap.	negative
1	Pleased with my order from Amazon	My order from Amazon and it's affiliate was received faster than I expected. The quality was ewxcelent iven though it was a used book.	positive
1	Well acted, but lacking in realism relative to the book	I loved the book, so I saw the film. My Dad being an ex-cop, I was able to understand the film. The only thing I didn't like was that it didn't stick to the book. Al Pacino is one of the finiest actors of our time and his performance was unspeakably great.	positive
0	Elbow and Knee Pads Do Not Work	I purchased this for my daughter to go with her new princess bike. The helmet and bell are fine, but the elbow and knee pads are completely inflexible, and will not move with your child. She couldn't move her elbows or knees! Took it back.	negative
1	Sign	This sign is great! It was made of metal and I think that it should last a long time. I hung it up with some other metal signs that I have.	positive
1	The best part is the Mic - Clean up in aisle 10	We now have three cash registers - this is the best and the only one we should have bought.Has a Mic (The best part)Scans (The second best part)Does all the usual stuff.They now need to add in a touch screen so you can enter the pin number or sign in the box when using a debit/card.	positive
1	A "How To Actually Do It" book	I have read many books that discuss the benefits of developing a relationship with your Inner Child. This book offers you an actual method that you can put to use every day for doing just that. I have been using Dr. Pollard's technique of thirty minute sessions every day for nearly two years and have found it to be a very rewarding adventure. I promise you that it has changed my life in many ways. A great book and a very practical methodology for getting to know and understand and "listen to" your inner child.	positive
0	Another thingabob on a key chain	E-marker started to lose it's appeal when I had a problem with the driver. Sony provided little assistance with the situation and I basically had to solve it through trial and error. The website was easy to manuever through, but receiving the proper listings wasn't constant. I will give Sony credit for coming up with the idea, and respect it's potential. However, for now it serves as a interesting eye candy piece for my key chain.	negative
1	my new favorite kitchen gadget	I love this grill. I like the way it looks, cooks, plus it is easy to clean. The fact that it doesn't have an on/off switch is not problematic; I think it's safer that De Longhi designed the grill that way. I've bought several since my original purchase for friends!	positive
0	Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1	I love Harry Potter but I was really disappointed with this one. The entire movie was at night and to me it did not live up to the story lines of all of the previous movies. Maybe it will all come together after Part 2.	negative
1	Best Shape for Me	These 7-sided pill keepers (my family calls them "pill wheels" but you'll never find them that way on Google) are, in my experience, the best shape for this sort of thing. Round ones cannot be set up on their edge, and the "stick" style, with all the days in a horizontal row, don't tuck as discreetly into a purse or pocket.It's hard to find these in stores. This is a great price and I'll order several.Note: if you can't easily distinguish which are your morning pills and which are your evening, you'd best buy two of these and load them accordingly.	positive
1	A MUST SEE!!! QUITE HILARIOUS!!!!	I purchased this video for my son (who loves them) and fell in love with it. It is my favorite Veggie Tale to date. A must see!! It is quite hilarious especially the silly song with Larry.	positive
1	The Incredible hulk the complete series.	This is a great price for this set,and none of the many Dvds where scratched which is rare on multi DVD sets, Highly recommended!	positive
1	It really works...	My Dermatologist told me about this shampoo (Sebulex) for my psoriosis but I couldn't find any in town so found this on the internet and ordered it. My scalp is better now than it has been in a long time. Thank you Amazon for this product!	positive
0	don't waste precious time watching it	I love horror movies and have seen some bad stuff in my day, but anyone who watches this piece of crap and calls it good filmmaking is just proving to the world they are not a social drinker! This is by far the worse horror film I have ever seen - avoid it at all costs.	negative
0	Poor construction and directions	My husband and I bought this from a local Babies R Us. Upon attempting to put it together, we found that the pieces snapped in in such a way that misaligned other parts, making it impossible to put together. On top of that, the instructions were poorly written. A little common sense will help with this, but it does no good when the construction is flawed. We are returning it.	negative
1	The Helmsman returns to defend in a new starship	The fourth book in the Helmsman series finds Wilf Brim as skipper of his own starship based on the racing hull of the last book. Due to politics, the crew ends up as Mercenaries on the far flung Fluvannian star system. Bewitched by his old love Margot, Brim sires a child and battles the League.Baldwin continues the saga of the Helmsman using his deft touch of technical and piloting jargon to carry the reader through the plot. Dedicated fans of the Helmsman will enjoy the read. New readers should start with'The Helmsman' or 'Galactic Convoy' or many of the plot interplays are lost.A fine read, but clearly the middle book of a series with all of the faults and traits such a books has. Some mature descriptions of Brim's love life	positive
0	What you have heard is true...	There are as many reasons to speculate as to why this album is so bad as there are people speculating. One thing is certain though... They are right. Dylan is a genius. One of the top 10 most influential musicians to be produced by America in the 20th Century. But, in this case, the emperor is naked. And there is no excuse. Save your money. Or burn it. At least the pain will be over sooner.	negative
1	El Año del Diluvio	Pretty okay book. Don't feel like writing much more than that as I have to go write an essay on it.	positive
0	waste of money	The title of the book is attractive. That's why I purchased a copy. Other than that, the book could be easily summarized on one page with a couple good suggestions. Otherwise, it feels like a con-job, and a waste of money.	negative
1	Best book I've read since Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged"	It's been a long time since I've picked up a book that could hold my interest as Ayn Rand's novels did for me back in the early 80s. Unintened Consequences by John Ross has managed to do just that. I've lived through and recall many of the actual historical events chronicled in his novel, but they all happened over a period of many years. As a member of the gun culture and a licensed private pilot (yes, it's more than just gun control... FAA abuses are also expounded upon, as well as abuses by other alphabet soup agencies) I've followed these events with a keen interest, but getting bombarded with these events compressed into the one week time period it took me to read the novel had a chilling effect. Our birthright is being stolen from us, and this book should be a wake up call to everyone who values their freedoms.	positive
1	A good bit of drama mixed in with fun....	Y'know - I don't care what anyone else says 'bout this film. I liked it so there...:g: It was a good bit of childish fun at times, as well as a lot of drama. I cried my eyes out for those children because of their father being at war.It's got funny stuff with the cousin and "It", which Eddie voices ever so brilliantly... and I loved the aunt.. I knew she was something special, siding with the children and helping them. I loved her!Kenneth Brannagh was hilarious as well.I don't know - I just loved it.I think you should give it a dry. I think it's a good mix between a typical family movie that has a good thing to say to the viewer and a fanstasy like CS Lewis or even Tolkien at times.the moral of the story... wishes can't last forever... but you'll just have to see the movie to see what I'm talking about, now won't you? :)	positive
0	Not as fascinated as other reviewers here	I got this book primarily to see how Carmen bin Ladin would view the society of Saudi Arabia, since she was of a more "westernized" background. And of course, I wanted to see how she felt about being part of the bin Ladin clan, particularly after 9/11/01.While the book wasn't poorly written, it was in places tough going for me because it seemed like she focused so much on her wealth and spending habits, her house, etc. I think this flaw was picked up by national reviewers of the book.I'm not that ignorant of Islamic culture, but would have liked to learn more about it. The book was an "ok read" but maybe my expectations were a bit higher than what the book delivered.	negative
0	disappointed	We dined in the restaurant and enjoyed the food; I found it to be comparable with restaurants in Mexico. I ordered the book and was totally disappointed. The dishes I enjoyed in the restaurant are not in the book! It is a generic cookbook about tex-mex food obviously written to capitalize on their fame. They don't even have the recipe for the chimichurri sauce that is on every table.	negative
1	EXCELLENT	I love this book. I've used it in my Global Studies course, and reference it often in the kitchen. Great photography!	positive
0	1 STAR IS TOO MUCH	Well this has got to be the worst experience ever! The software is only allowed to be used from one machine, you cannot isntall and print on another. On top of that, this software has spyware that installs onto your system, which runs all the time!! Search the net for CDILLA, which is the supposed copy protection software that gets installed with turbo tax. I cannot copy cds anymore, the spyware gets installed on a section of the hard drive that could make your pc unstable! - I hope this post wont get edited - I am a professional in the industry and can prove my remarks. There have been several articles published by well - known web sites on this privacy issue.	negative
1	Love the pictures and enjoyed learning a bit about the history	fun to review. Handed it over to my Dad (who is now 73) and it brought back great memories for him.	positive
1	SciFi	It is a god show ,but there are others in this series I like better. Lexx rocks,if you like strange scifi shows try Lexx.	positive
1	Good overall view of Milhaud	This compilation contains Milhaud's best known works and with the composer conducting with great verve and elan, nuance and quality of interpretation are all there. My favorite, the joyous Suite Provencale is superbly played. There is also the jazz oriented La Creation du Monde, the nostalgic Saudades do Brasil with its swaying rhythms and the comedic Le Boeuf sur le Toit with its "Crazy Horse Saloon" humor. A good introduction to a most interesting French composer and heartily recommended.	positive
1	Fresh and Strong	Maybe the tin helps preserve the freshness. This pimenton ahumada is more potent than the McCormick brand, which comes in a plastic bottle.	positive
1	Best ever shower radio!	Bought this to replace a Sony shower radio I've had for years. I was amazed at the difference in quality. The sound is superb, it sounds like you have a component hifi in the bathroom. I use it mostly, but not only, to listen to the news, and the voice quality is amazingly clear. The volume can be set very loud with no distortion. One great little feature that is not described well in the listing is that the FM antenna in the back swings around to become a beautiful and very solid semi-circular handle for the radio, so you can carry it around the house very easily. FM reception is outstanding, AM so-so, but that's inevitable and due to my location.	positive

0	Customers Punished By Missing Commentary Track	This has got to be the first time in DVD history that a Commentary Track, which exists on the original $5 bargain bin version, is now ABSENT from the "new, improved" $15 Directors Cut! What the heck happened?Just because a few more minutes were added, doesn't mean that they couldn't have also added a few more comments.And nobody cares about any hastily cobbled Iraq garbage, either. Let's leave the Bush family's sick oil scam out of this. So thanks, but I'm sticking to the original version, WITH the all-important audio track, and without the Iraq oil junk.BTW, studios, I also don't want to see the events of 911 added to New York, New York - in case you were leaning in that stupid general direction!	negative
1	Simply fun	Anyone who has seen and enjoyed the movie will like this game. The style seems to based very much on the movie, which is more than I can say for a lot of movie-based games out there right now. The graphics are outstanding, the subtle (and sometimes not at all subtle) humor is nicely incorporated, and if some of the levels are simplistic (you spend quite a bit of time running around picking up seeds) the other levels make up for it by presenting clever, moderately difficult but not impossible, fun to watch challenges. Kids and adults will have fun with this cartoonish game.	positive
0	Pointless game, too simple and you will ask yourself why?	A pointless game with the most basic gameplay, two tops going at it until one stops spinning or is knocked out of the stadium. You do this throughout the whole game and gets really repetitive. Most of the special beast that your beyblade can have are carbon copies of the other ones and have almost the same animation every time you do the attack. This game is just a cash in to the toy line and you'll have more fun with the actual beyblade and friends to play with them then this game. Don't Buy!If you do buy it then have fun wasting your money.	negative

0	May have been good in its day	I cannot agree with the other reviewers on this. Back in the days when there were hardly any general texts on topology this may have been good. Nowadays there are at least a dozen such that are far better than this. The printing fonts and layout are spidery and primitive and not easy on the eye. The style is rather formal and dry for a subject as rich as this and little effort is put into illustrating the material with background, diagrams or examples. As I said before there is no shortage of better texts amongst which Hocking & Young is worth special mention.	negative
0	Falsely described, very poor value	1. The product is falsely described: "bright felt mat with special non-skid backing": it does not have a non-skid backing and is very slippery.2. The product came folded, in a box, with very sharp creases so it would not lie flat on a table without ironing.3. The product is grossly overpriced: buy a piece of felt at a fabric store for a fraction of the price and cut it to the size you prefer.Ravensburger Stow & Go - Puzzle Accessories	negative
0	Worst book Linda Howard ever wrote	I absolutely LOVE Linda Howard's books. Except for this one. Actually, it was the first Linda Howard book I ever read and it turned me off of her for some time. I have to agree with the other critics of this story. "All That Glitters" so DOESN'T glitter. The hero is a jerk and a bit of a pig and that the heroine stands for this, and lets him abuse her like he does, is a bit disturbing. I can only tell you that since that book came out, Linda Howard has done much better. Her heroines are feisty, independent women, and her heroes, while strong, are wonderful, and gentle with their heroines. Also since she has had hardcover books come out, there is more intrigue in her novels. Sometimes the heroine is the take-charge character in the novels, and sometimes the hero is the action lead, but her stories are about better characters now. I like to chalk up "All That Glitters" as an oops along the road of Linda Howard's successful writing career.	negative

0	Worst KD	First off, I'm a HUGE HUGE King Diamond Fan. I'm so tired of people regarding this as his best album, because it's not. The production is pretty bad. There is too much reverb on the drums. The vocals get annoying (and I like Fatal Portrait). None of the riffs really stand out. I used to listen to this along with everything up to The Eye back in the day, but never picked up his later albums as I assumed during the 90's he'd follow the trend of watering down the metal. I just recently checked out the new stuff and holy crap his new stuff blows the old stuff out of the water. If you want to get the best of KD pick up1. The Puppet Master2. Abigail II3. House of God4.

0	Brilliant Wit Wasted on a Weak, Painfully Slow Plot	Stephen Fry's brilliant wit and word craft is on full display in this very boring book. As much as I love his clever use of languang ("handkerchief pandkerchief", "dribble of three-act loose-stooled effluent", "arse-paralysingly drear times"), the plot is weak and drags on far too long. The protagonist, with his vile wit, is the only character I enjoyed.

1	Wonderful for the whole family	Little Britches is a fantastic book. It takes the reader back to early 1900 Colorado and a family who loved each other and worked very hard as they struggle to build their ranch. This is the first book in a series and once you start reading you won't want to stop. Ralph (Little Britches) learns a lot of life's lessons the hard way. His father's parenting skills gently lead Ralph to make the right choices. There are horses, cowboys, and a water rights fued that provide excitement as well as many warm family moments.	positive

0	Crapfest 07	I am a huge harry potter fan, yet this game is the worst game I have ever played in my entire life.Graphics: Of course because it's on the wii the graphics are worse than the other systems and made me wish that I had bought the 360 version.Gameplay: Horrible, absolutely horrible, you don't have control after you cast the spells, targeting the item you want to cast a spell on is impossible because the targeting system auto-locks on the first thing it sees and wont let you choose something else unless if you turn away and look somewhere completely different than where your target is.Camera: The camera was made by a druggie with no programming experience. It is unmovable, and only goes at the angle it's supposed to be about 20% of the time. Moving on stairs is hard, casting spells is hard, and some times during conversations all you see is the gray from instead of the person you are talking to's head.Overall: This game will make you hate Harry Potter.	negative

However, the head of the hammer is painted black and the paint rubs off easily, which makes this a poor choice for finish work.

Deliberate white band long before toner is used up

Beware this Lexmark "high-yield" toner cartridge. A deliberate white band appears on all pages long before the toner itself is exhausted. The white band -- a uniform area where no toner is deposited -- is about 1/8 of an inch wide and appears about 3/4 of an inch from the right side of an 8-1/2 x 11 letter-size page. The band is obviously deliberate (uniform location and width; sharp edges; no toner deposited at all; band appears after about 5000 pages have been printed). Once the band appears, the cartridge is only useful for printing documents with large (1-inch) margins. (Note: I checked my laser printer carefully -- including installing a different cartridge -- to rule out the printer as the source of the problem.)

A truly strange book, often moving but in the end a letdown

I opened this book "blind" - without any reviews or even a dust jacket blurb - and so was totally surprised by the turn the story takes when the "film festival" begins, and the presumed main plot turns out to be only a shell.I think it would have been a much better read if the "past" and "present" storylines had been interwoven with one another rather than the story A prelude-story B-story A postlude as written.And sorry to say, I found the ending totally unsatisfying.

I have bought a few of these and every one of them is next to impossible to write with. I have no idea what the problem might be or why something that appears so simple is almost completely useless. Might as well throw away your pen. Would have bought in a "regular" store if I could have found them and returned, but with the hassle, time, and cost to return it after purchasing online doesn't make sense.

Not For Every Dog

I wanted to love this head collar, as my 80# male German Shepherd is doing fine with his, but my 45# female German Shepherd managed to break hers within two weeks of purchase. She was walking very nicely on it, but faced with wanting to make contact with barking neighbor dogs it finally failed. Luckily we were on our own street, and the dogs in question were behind a fence, but it was frightening all the same. Had we been on a busy street I could have lost my dog! I wouldn't recommend this collar to anyone now.

A book to read, and re-read, to talk about, and give to another

One cannot praise enough the work of this author. I have read works on Christ from Geis to White to Riciotti to Sheen. It has its own starting point, and its own end point. One works through Shusaku Endo's text marveling at its simplicity, gentleness, and warmth. Not scholarly, it does not miss a beat in offending the academic exegetes of today whose attempts at commentary Endo leaves far, far behind with his display of understanding and appreciation of this Christ. And the book's end point-- one is saddened when it comes because through Endo one has been brought back to the life of a great and good Man, Whom many still today believe was God incarnate. Endo has gone far in persuading the reader that the belief is not misguided.

absurdist masterpiece, Dadaisms' belated but finest hour

This book definitely made a huge impression on me when I first attempted to grok it upon some hipsters recommendation. Now I consider myself a bit of a wordsmith and I enjoy heady, verbose literature even seeking out extreme examples(niche scientific journals((astro-physics, etc..)) just for the sheer entertainment value of perusing esoteric terminology. But this franken-book takes the cake uber alles. This book should come with a warning: !AVISO! FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY!, not the least of which should entail incredulous ridicule at the convulsions of lingual transfiguration signifying nothing which occur so profusely here. Paulo's chronic and protracted pscho-masturbatory transgressions against all speaking peoples should serve as a high-water mark for all writers seeking to crucify their intellects on the cross of academia. Beware of those who find this meaningful.

Extremely painful! Don't buy!

I bought these at a store sale because they looked so cute and I LOVE LOVE shoes. I always wear tall heels too so the height didn't scare me. HOWEVER, these are probably the most uncomfortable wedges/shoes I have ever had. After about 15 minutes, my feet were killing me!! The toe divider is way too thin of a strap without any padding, so it just cuts into your skin. Plus, even though I am used to high shoes, these are somehow made poorly so that your feet definitely put all the weight on your balls, which puts even more pain into the feet and toes. I tried wearing them 2 more times to give them another shot, and again- these were SOOOO uncomfortable. Threw them out.

Two Thumbs Way, Way Down

Yet another example crops up in America's self torture over JFK Conspiracy Theories. Although some of the author's notes have proved useful to me in my own research on New Orleans Crime, I could not help but feel disapointed that he wouldn't shut his fat face about the Kennedy Assassination. What the hell is he smoking! Does he take us all for a pack of idiots?! There is so much evidence Oswald was alone, that any attempt to pin the act on a "Vast Right Wing Conspiracy" would have to make it the one that Oliver Stone described. In a word, so huge and so extensive as to be nothing but a big joke. (The FBI and the CIA working together, that's the one I really loved!) Mr Davis would have been better served if he had just stuck to the story of one of America's most notorious criminals, instead of chasing off on some drug induced conspiracy theory. That is why my only regret is that I couldn't give this book no stars. This book wasn't worth the paper it was written on.

how I envy their composing! Brilliant!

"Wow. Oh my...wow." These are the thoughts that were going through my mind when I first listened to the whole CD of "Into the Rush" by Aly & AJ. It's really cool to think that two girls only a little older than I can really make this kind of music. It's awe inspiring. Honestly. I agree with Eri (Hong Kong), she really summed it up in her review. All I want to add, is that when you listen to this kind of music, it kind of lifts your heart up, raises your spirits, and it just makes you feel like suddenly, so many more things are possible.That probably sounds cheesy, doesn't it? Isn't it weird how something so cheesy, can be so true?? Please, at least listen to this CD. I'm telling the truth when I say that it is awesome!!

I am huge Garth Brooks fan so I was really excited to hear he was releasing a new CD. When I read about the concept of it I was intrigued.

There are like 5 guys in the whole level, the story is ridiculus, the gameplay is boring and repetitive and the few guns are basically all the same.(...) They have a bubble gun for gods sake! This game is a first person shooter without the shooter. For the same price you could get Doom or Dark Arena when it comes out

Best Book that I have read on Janis

I have read most of the books written on Janis (with the exception of "Love, Janis"). "Pearl" is the book that I have liked the most. Author interviewed an impressive number of persons from both Port Arthur and Frisco. Interviewees included former High School friends, members of Big Brother and Kris Kristofferson. Discovered some facts about JJ that I was not aware of. I hope these facts are true. I do not want to disclose any of unknown (to me) facts so I don't spoil other readers enjoyment.

not that amusing

Although this movie has some amusing, and almost entertaining qualities, I found that is was just not my cup of tea. There was an insane level of gratuitous nastiness that put me off from the start of the movie. I did enjoy that, unlike a lot of Hollywood movies, it did have a plot that was beyond average. The movie was daring enough to go beyond socially acceptable norms, but perhaps it should have done so a little less graphically. I think that when a viewer is faced with blatant dysfunction in every character it is very disturbing, and that definitely happens in this movie. At a certain point in the movie you just want to escape, and find some way to make it all stop...the story, the characters, the craziness. Everything.

Queensryche's Downward Spiral

After the refreshing "Hear in the Now Frontier," Queensryche has returned with an unfortunate change of style. After years of playing prog metal, it is odd that they waited until 1999 to begin picking up elements of industrial and grunge, even if they are from Seattle. The result is a forgettable set of songs and a major misstep. There are no highlights here to mention and die hard fans only need buy this one.

intimate acoustic genious

Don't let the number of tracks fool you - From the Ground Up is a wonderful collection of Collective Soul A and B sides with the cords pulled out of the amps. The biggest plus for the album has to be its production quality. Each guitar strum, percussive strike, and vocal tone can be heard loud and clear. The tonal qualities are produced wonderfully and each sound compliments one another magnificently. I believe that She Said and Satellite are the stand-out tracks on the album, but From the Ground Up is a great Cd to just pop into the player and listen from beginning straight to the end. Grab it for the summer!

I'm giving myself the weekend to see if I get accustomed to the noise, but it actually is more noisy than my (extra quiet) washing machine.It's possible that I got a lemon and just need to replace it. Hope so, because it adds a nice cozy ambiance to the room.

Exploited Before Their Time

Okay, I know a billion people have completely blown off Hanson for a multitude of reasons. Unlike most of my friends (i'm 16 and a fanatical music collector), I chose to buy their cd to see for myself why so many people either loved them or hated them with such a passion. After listening to the entire cd, I've come to a distinct conclusion: the Hanson brothers simply haven't had enough time to develop as musicians or as a team, and were exploited at least four or five years before they've reached their potential. I will readily admit that all three of them possess substantial talent, especially the middle one and his singing voice, but they need time to round out. In addition, the moods and lyrics of nearly all of the songs were way too happy and omnipotent (AKA MmmBop) to successfully pervey a teen-ish real world mood. Overall, keep practicing, boys.

Get Your Favorite Remixes from Singles

There are several problems with this album. First of all, most remixes are too long and too repetative. Some tracks are simply the original voices of the performers poorly married to a boring techno beat. The second problem is the overlapping tracks: each song begins on a previous track and ends before the track ends transforming into the next song. Admittedly, some Silence remixes are very good and I wanted to make my own compillation (even edit the songs to begin and end in the right place). However, the disk seems to have some kind of protection against copying, so I could not do even that. My advise: don't buy this, but try to get all Silence remixes on other disks.

Wasted my time

Truly a Sad tale writen by a woman whose husband left her for his true love, his high school sweet heart. (Judged by this book, he did the right thing.) Laura Fraser's "Italian Affair" is nothing special, and very uninteresting. Now Fraser's book rests in my Trash can on its way to the city dump. It is a boring story of a middle age woman who travel thorugh Italy alone. We all have similar experiences in Italy, but not all of us will be so available nor insensitive enough to write about these boring encounters. I know I will not read anything written by Laura Fraser ever again in the future. At least I gained this knowledge.

Lifesaving product but compartments do not close

I bought this tray and two others like it for my 90 year old father who is diabetic. While he lives independently, it has been hard for him to remember to take insulin or even whether he has taken it leading to his taking a second dose. With these trays, I put out needles in 3 trays (one for each dose) and by the day of the week. He now is taking his insulin reliably. My wishes for this product are that the compartments closed with syringes in them and that it was labeled with days of the week.

A horrible book written by an obvious novice.

As a former professor of physics, I am greatly concerned that this book will be viewed by non-physicists as being on par with some of the excellent "pedestrian" books on advanced physics, such as "A Brief History of Time" or "The Elegant Universe".Mr. Magueijo's attempts to explain elementary electrodynamics and mechanics show that his mastery of physics would not even earn him a passing grade in one of my freshman-level courses. I would not be at all surprised if Cambridge contacted Mr. Magueijo and demanded that he return his diploma.As a trained and working mathematician and physicist, I would consider this book good to have around...for when I was in need of a laugh. The hardcover version, I am sure, is well suited for use as a paperweight. And most certainly, a person freezing to death would find warmth and light by setting the book afire. Beyond those uses, this book cannot be considered anything other than a waste of paper and ink.

Very, very good book

When I picked up this book, I expected to be disappointed. I hate pirate books (many of which are written by people with no idea of what pirates were, let alone what sailing on a ship was like), but I bought it because it was by "Laura London" the pseudonym of Sharon and Tom Curtis. Ten copies later (so I can loan them out) I still read it once or twice a year. The Curtis's have a wonderful quirky command of language that adds piquancy to their well-drawn sympathetic characters. Even the bit-part characters are three dimensional -- the major characters are incredible. If you haven't read this one, pick it up and enjoy the ride.

Andrea Chenier is mostly for the tenor, and del Monaco gives a great preformens here, but you can hardly hear him, since the sound is very, very poor.Callas is good, and sings "la mamma morta" very well here, but she is unable to do great things with the relativly uninteresting part of Maddalena.And the sound again: Very, very, very bad!I am a great fan of Callas (and del Monaco, in his best days), but I regret having spendt money on this one.

Houston Baker is a jive-artist and his book about rap is almost comical in its brazen incoherence and in its total rejection of logic and scholarship. The book is filled with outrageous assertions delivered in Baker's own unique style, full of street-corner swagger and flippancy. After reading a few pages of this stuff, the reader will ask, "Is this guy serious?" The correct answer, I believe, is "No". The whole performance is a put-on.

Wonderful infant toy

This is a beautiful rattle. On one side of one of the beads there is a mirror. It also has a bell. My baby finds if facinating. It is made with many layers of non toxic varnish. No lead and no chipping paint. It is sure to become an heirloom.

legend

There is no question, the man was an absolute genius. One has to search far and wide nowadays to find such genuine talent in songwriting. "Legend" sums up probably the cream of Lennon's post-Beatles achievements. This collection signifies the massive diversity that seems second nature to the man. From heart-rending and setemental classics such as "Jealous guy" (one of the most beautiful songs ever written), "Imagine", "Woman", "Love", "Beautiful boy", "Mother (with obvious connections to Lennon's poignant nickname for Yoko)"; to the social statements of "Working class hero (a finely crafted acoustic number)","Happy Xmas", and "Give peace a chance". But probably a personal favourite from the collection would have to be "Watching the wheels", it oozes Beatles-appeal, and just goes to show who was the talent behind the phenomenon. All in all, highly recommended to anyone who has been fortunate enough to discover the legend that is John Lennon. It was a sad, sad day when he was taken from us.

Much smaller in real life

I was pretty disappointed when I received the Libman Curved Kitchen Brush. It is much smaller in person than what you imagine it to be from the pictures. The handle is about 5" long, and the bristle part is between 1 1/2 and 2" in diameter. The bristles are very stiff at first, but ease up a little with use. Bottom line: if you are looking for a small scrub brush with very stiff bristles, this is for you, if not, look elsewhere!

really bad software.

After installing Mcafee security center, my machine was much slower. I used taskmanager to see what processes were slowing the machine. It was mcafee. Mcafee was eating up 30% of the cpu just with the machine sitting idle. Uninstalling the software is more difficult than getting rid of any virus. Real crap.

I loved the book, so I saw the film. My Dad being an ex-cop, I was able to understand the film. The only thing I didn't like was that it didn't stick to the book. Al Pacino is one of the finiest actors of our time and his performance was unspeakably great.

A "How To Actually Do It" book

I have read many books that discuss the benefits of developing a relationship with your Inner Child. This book offers you an actual method that you can put to use every day for doing just that. I have been using Dr. Pollard's technique of thirty minute sessions every day for nearly two years and have found it to be a very rewarding adventure. I promise you that it has changed my life in many ways. A great book and a very practical methodology for getting to know and understand and "listen to" your inner child.

Another thingabob on a key chain

E-marker started to lose it's appeal when I had a problem with the driver. Sony provided little assistance with the situation and I basically had to solve it through trial and error. The website was easy to manuever through, but receiving the proper listings wasn't constant. I will give Sony credit for coming up with the idea, and respect it's potential. However, for now it serves as a interesting eye candy piece for my key chain.

I love this grill. I like the way it looks, cooks, plus it is easy to clean. The fact that it doesn't have an on/off switch is not problematic; I think it's safer that De Longhi designed the grill that way. I've bought several since my original purchase for friends!

Best Shape for Me

These 7-sided pill keepers (my family calls them "pill wheels" but you'll never find them that way on Google) are, in my experience, the best shape for this sort of thing. Round ones cannot be set up on their edge, and the "stick" style, with all the days in a horizontal row, don't tuck as discreetly into a purse or pocket.It's hard to find these in stores. This is a great price and I'll order several.Note: if you can't easily distinguish which are your morning pills and which are your evening, you'd best buy two of these and load them accordingly.

Poor construction and directions

My husband and I bought this from a local Babies R Us. Upon attempting to put it together, we found that the pieces snapped in in such a way that misaligned other parts, making it impossible to put together. On top of that, the instructions were poorly written. A little common sense will help with this, but it does no good when the construction is flawed. We are returning it.

The Helmsman returns to defend in a new starship

The fourth book in the Helmsman series finds Wilf Brim as skipper of his own starship based on the racing hull of the last book. Due to politics, the crew ends up as Mercenaries on the far flung Fluvannian star system. Bewitched by his old love Margot, Brim sires a child and battles the League.Baldwin continues the saga of the Helmsman using his deft touch of technical and piloting jargon to carry the reader through the plot. Dedicated fans of the Helmsman will enjoy the read. New readers should start with'The Helmsman' or 'Galactic Convoy' or many of the plot interplays are lost.A fine read, but clearly the middle book of a series with all of the faults and traits such a books has. Some mature descriptions of Brim's love life

What you have heard is true...

There are as many reasons to speculate as to why this album is so bad as there are people speculating. One thing is certain though... They are right. Dylan is a genius. One of the top 10 most influential musicians to be produced by America in the 20th Century. But, in this case, the emperor is naked. And there is no excuse. Save your money. Or burn it. At least the pain will be over sooner.

Best book I've read since Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged"

It's been a long time since I've picked up a book that could hold my interest as Ayn Rand's novels did for me back in the early 80s. Unintened Consequences by John Ross has managed to do just that. I've lived through and recall many of the actual historical events chronicled in his novel, but they all happened over a period of many years. As a member of the gun culture and a licensed private pilot (yes, it's more than just gun control... FAA abuses are also expounded upon, as well as abuses by other alphabet soup agencies) I've followed these events with a keen interest, but getting bombarded with these events compressed into the one week time period it took me to read the novel had a chilling effect. Our birthright is being stolen from us, and this book should be a wake up call to everyone who values their freedoms.

A good bit of drama mixed in with fun....

Y'know - I don't care what anyone else says 'bout this film. I liked it so there...:g: It was a good bit of childish fun at times, as well as a lot of drama. I cried my eyes out for those children because of their father being at war.It's got funny stuff with the cousin and "It", which Eddie voices ever so brilliantly... and I loved the aunt.. I knew she was something special, siding with the children and helping them. I loved her!Kenneth Brannagh was hilarious as well.I don't know - I just loved it.I think you should give it a dry. I think it's a good mix between a typical family movie that has a good thing to say to the viewer and a fanstasy like CS Lewis or even Tolkien at times.the moral of the story... wishes can't last forever... but you'll just have to see the movie to see what I'm talking about, now won't you? :)

Not as fascinated as other reviewers here

I got this book primarily to see how Carmen bin Ladin would view the society of Saudi Arabia, since she was of a more "westernized" background. And of course, I wanted to see how she felt about being part of the bin Ladin clan, particularly after 9/11/01.While the book wasn't poorly written, it was in places tough going for me because it seemed like she focused so much on her wealth and spending habits, her house, etc. I think this flaw was picked up by national reviewers of the book.I'm not that ignorant of Islamic culture, but would have liked to learn more about it. The book was an "ok read" but maybe my expectations were a bit higher than what the book delivered.

We dined in the restaurant and enjoyed the food; I found it to be comparable with restaurants in Mexico. I ordered the book and was totally disappointed. The dishes I enjoyed in the restaurant are not in the book! It is a generic cookbook about tex-mex food obviously written to capitalize on their fame. They don't even have the recipe for the chimichurri sauce that is on every table.

A good introduction to a most interesting French composer and heartily recommended.

Best ever shower radio!

Bought this to replace a Sony shower radio I've had for years. I was amazed at the difference in quality. The sound is superb, it sounds like you have a component hifi in the bathroom. I use it mostly, but not only, to listen to the news, and the voice quality is amazingly clear. The volume can be set very loud with no distortion. One great little feature that is not described well in the listing is that the FM antenna in the back swings around to become a beautiful and very solid semi-circular handle for the radio, so you can carry it around the house very easily. FM reception is outstanding, AM so-so, but that's inevitable and due to my location.

Customers Punished By Missing Commentary Track

This has got to be the first time in DVD history that a Commentary Track, which exists on the original $5 bargain bin version, is now ABSENT from the "new, improved" $15 Directors Cut! What the heck happened?Just because a few more minutes were added, doesn't mean that they couldn't have also added a few more comments.And nobody cares about any hastily cobbled Iraq garbage, either. Let's leave the Bush family's sick oil scam out of this. So thanks, but I'm sticking to the original version, WITH the all-important audio track, and without the Iraq oil junk.BTW, studios, I also don't want to see the events of 911 added to New York, New York - in case you were leaning in that stupid general direction!

Simply fun

Anyone who has seen and enjoyed the movie will like this game. The style seems to based very much on the movie, which is more than I can say for a lot of movie-based games out there right now. The graphics are outstanding, the subtle (and sometimes not at all subtle) humor is nicely incorporated, and if some of the levels are simplistic (you spend quite a bit of time running around picking up seeds) the other levels make up for it by presenting clever, moderately difficult but not impossible, fun to watch challenges. Kids and adults will have fun with this cartoonish game.

Pointless game, too simple and you will ask yourself why?

A pointless game with the most basic gameplay, two tops going at it until one stops spinning or is knocked out of the stadium. You do this throughout the whole game and gets really repetitive. Most of the special beast that your beyblade can have are carbon copies of the other ones and have almost the same animation every time you do the attack. This game is just a cash in to the toy line and you'll have more fun with the actual beyblade and friends to play with them then this game. Don't Buy!If you do buy it then have fun wasting your money.

May have been good in its day

I cannot agree with the other reviewers on this. Back in the days when there were hardly any general texts on topology this may have been good. Nowadays there are at least a dozen such that are far better than this. The printing fonts and layout are spidery and primitive and not easy on the eye. The style is rather formal and dry for a subject as rich as this and little effort is put into illustrating the material with background, diagrams or examples. As I said before there is no shortage of better texts amongst which Hocking & Young is worth special mention.

Falsely described, very poor value

1. The product is falsely described: "bright felt mat with special non-skid backing": it does not have a non-skid backing and is very slippery.2. The product came folded, in a box, with very sharp creases so it would not lie flat on a table without ironing.3. The product is grossly overpriced: buy a piece of felt at a fabric store for a fraction of the price and cut it to the size you prefer.Ravensburger Stow & Go - Puzzle Accessories

Worst book Linda Howard ever wrote

I absolutely LOVE Linda Howard's books. Except for this one. Actually, it was the first Linda Howard book I ever read and it turned me off of her for some time. I have to agree with the other critics of this story. "All That Glitters" so DOESN'T glitter. The hero is a jerk and a bit of a pig and that the heroine stands for this, and lets him abuse her like he does, is a bit disturbing. I can only tell you that since that book came out, Linda Howard has done much better. Her heroines are feisty, independent women, and her heroes, while strong, are wonderful, and gentle with their heroines. Also since she has had hardcover books come out, there is more intrigue in her novels. Sometimes the heroine is the take-charge character in the novels, and sometimes the hero is the action lead, but her stories are about better characters now. I like to chalk up "All That Glitters" as an oops along the road of Linda Howard's successful writing career.

Worst KD

First off, I'm a HUGE HUGE King Diamond Fan. I'm so tired of people regarding this as his best album, because it's not. The production is pretty bad. There is too much reverb on the drums. The vocals get annoying (and I like Fatal Portrait). None of the riffs really stand out. I used to listen to this along with everything up to The Eye back in the day, but never picked up his later albums as I assumed during the 90's he'd follow the trend of watering down the metal. I just recently checked out the new stuff and holy crap his new stuff blows the old stuff out of the water. If you want to get the best of KD pick up1. The Puppet Master2. Abigail II3. House of God4.

Brilliant Wit Wasted on a Weak, Painfully Slow Plot

Stephen Fry's brilliant wit and word craft is on full display in this very boring book. As much as I love his clever use of languang ("handkerchief pandkerchief", "dribble of three-act loose-stooled effluent", "arse-paralysingly drear times"), the plot is weak and drags on far too long. The protagonist, with his vile wit, is the only character I enjoyed. The other characters were plausible but just plain uninteresting.Read this book only if you truly love Fry's wit and banter.

Wonderful for the whole family

Little Britches is a fantastic book. It takes the reader back to early 1900 Colorado and a family who loved each other and worked very hard as they struggle to build their ranch. This is the first book in a series and once you start reading you won't want to stop. Ralph (Little Britches) learns a lot of life's lessons the hard way. His father's parenting skills gently lead Ralph to make the right choices. There are horses, cowboys, and a water rights fued that provide excitement as well as many warm family moments.

Crapfest 07

I am a huge harry potter fan, yet this game is the worst game I have ever played in my entire life.Graphics: Of course because it's on the wii the graphics are worse than the other systems and made me wish that I had bought the 360 version.Gameplay: Horrible, absolutely horrible, you don't have control after you cast the spells, targeting the item you want to cast a spell on is impossible because the targeting system auto-locks on the first thing it sees and wont let you choose something else unless if you turn away and look somewhere completely different than where your target is.Camera: The camera was made by a druggie with no programming experience. It is unmovable, and only goes at the angle it's supposed to be about 20% of the time. Moving on stairs is hard, casting spells is hard, and some times during conversations all you see is the gray from instead of the person you are talking to's head.Overall: This game will make you hate Harry Potter.

Poor Quality Paint

I bought this for an inexpensive 16-ounce hammer to use on some finish work I was doing on a house. However, the head of the hammer is painted black and the paint rubs off easily, which makes this a poor choice for finish work. I wouldn't recommend this unless you are only planning on using it for projects where appearance won't be important - and even then, a 20-ounce hammer might be better for those types of projects.

Not a real Pulltap

I have owned three Pulltaps brand double-hinged wine tools before waiting tables and thought I would be purchasing a "real" Pulltaps tool. From years of handling the devices, I know that this one is significantly lighter (because the body is made of plastic instead of metal). What's worst is that the bottom portion below the hinge doesn't move... which is the whole point! It also doesn't say "Pulltaps" in cursive across the top. This is a cheap imitation of a quality tool that isn't that expensive in the first place!
