1	WOW what a pleasant surprise ...	Certainly much better quality writing that I would have expected from a Red Stripe book ..... This not strikly what I would consider an erotica book although it does have frank and explicit sex ....Elda, forced to run away from an abusive home at the age of 13 finds herself in an orphanage where she experienced a complete spectrum of sexual awakening and sexual abuse .... She finally gets adopted by a kindly older couple but any joy of that life were short as she once again found herself on the street and alone ....Elda get raped on several occasions and as a result she develops a very strong dislike for intensive sex with men ..It's probably one of the best works describing life and lonliness for a very young girl forced to live with the strength of her wits on the streets ....	positive
0	You're kidding right?	This music is very weak.If you know your Jazz then you will look to Carla Cook--the only Max Jazz artist worth your time--believe me.	negative
1	MR. MISTER IS GREAT!!!!	I LOVE THE 80'S. I GREW UP WITH ALL THESE OLD BANDS I CAME A CROSS THE OLD MR. MISTER TAPE I HAVE AND IT HAS SEEN ITS LAST DAYS BUT I JUST CAN NOT PART WITH IT. IT DOES NOT SOUND GREAT BUT I WILL NOT THROW AWAY THE PAST, I FINALLY DECIDED TO BUY A NEW ONE A CD SO IT WILL LAST. AND I AM GLAD I CAN STILL FIND ALL THESE OLD BANDS, I ALWAYS LOVE THE SONGS, BROKEN WINGS, AND KRYLE AND ALL THE OTHER ONES. SO ROCK ON AND KEEP THEM OLDIES BUT GOODIES AROUND FOREVER. CHAT WITH YOU LATER, KIM1202	positive
1	Perfect!	Perfect! Easy to build, looks great! I have two other blond mission style pieces from different manufacturers in the same room and it matches perfectly. Very happy with the price and looks.	positive
1	MP#	I like this product, it was easy to load with music and is equally great for voicerecordings. I use it for running and vacations when I want to transport music.I have 42 of my favorite songs on it and still have room for more.	positive
0	A for effort.	This movie gets a star for camera work, and one for time invested. I can't believe D1 and Option would endorse this garbage.	negative
1	Wonderful Childhood Memories	My father read us stories from this book to my brothers, sisters, and me on his knee. Unfortunately we have only one copy; my mother still has it and doesn't know to whom to give it. I love the stories and the illustrations. Two of the poems from this book I can still recite, 40 years later: The "Goops" and "Mud." I am going to buy four more as Christmas presents for my siblings!	positive
0	Just a Back Up	This book is just a back up for the Barrons book. Do not use it for your main preparation. I was very disappointed and you probably do not need it at all.	negative
0	Not unless you think [$$$] for a smoothy is a good deal	The first time I used my blender, the sealing ring got torn up in the blades and leaked smoothy all over the counter. Its too difficult to put back together after cleaning and the instructions are horrible. Also, Krups doesn't respond to my inquires about where to buy a new sealing ring. I wouldn't buy this blender again nor recommend it to anyone.	negative
0	incorrect picture	the clip on the picture is nothing like the one i received. disappointed because if ih ad wanted the one i received i could have bought for half the price from another seller. i picked this one because of the clip. the case is very hard to remove and i have to remove it to fit on my timex clock radio/charger. case its self is nice, much better than the old one. the clip screws on and swivels WAY to easliy.	negative
0	Not good for a pond.	I did a search for pond product, and this was suggested. Although it may work well in a flat bottom pool, it is not very good on an uneven pond bottom.	negative
1	!	Great product, I use this to connect my wireless 360 controller so I can play minecraft on my Dell. It had microsoft all over the product. I recommend this to anyone	positive
0	Hated it	My son got this for Chritmas, by Dec. 27 the toy did not work. My son was very upset and so are his parents. The car powers on but the remote seems to have some type of short. It is sold as a remote control car for younger children, so it was very upsetting when a two year old could only play with his car for 2 days.	negative
0	Could have been much better	I just finished this book about 10 minutes ago and I am extremely miffed that it ended the way it did. I cannot understand how a book series can go from being extremely detailed to just nothing at the end. What was the point of dragging the series on for 7 books if it was going to be ended with a dull moan. There was so much room for detail and if the book had another 10 chapters I believe it would have been much better. The ending of Hugh the Hand was a EXTREME letdown...he was just gone, very anticlimatic.Problems I had with it...SPOILER ALERT1) Became much to sappy towards the end2) Hugh the Hand dies without a parting word3) Haplos daughter never makes a entrance4) The final outcome of the two races was never discussed5) Who the heck was Zifnab6) The whole book just seemed rushed to be over with7) Inconsistencies throughout the book8) Just left with a sad feeling of "THATS ALL???"I am glad I finished the series but in truth it was a major letdown.	negative
0	Not all that it's cracked up to be	Relentless was Judd Nelson's best film. Though it's not great at all, the kills are stupid, and so is the story. If you want a really good serial killer movie, buy The watcher with Keanu Reeves. This film was stupid and not at all frightening or grotesque like they said it would be. It could have been much better. But I give Judd Nelson 5 stars for doing his best in this film. Though the story and plot stunk.	negative
0	MAKE IT STOP!	I hate rap and Beg For Mercy didn't help me, it's just a rehash of gangsta (c)rap. (...) all made great music, but these days it's just running around in circles with the words Gangsta, (...). The millions of hardciore rap fans out there (including some of my friends) obviously suffered some serious brain damage. They don't even like Run-DMC, just 50, Usher (another fool) Eminem and the like. Rap is now meaningless crap.	negative
1	The Unexpected Guest	This story is not only compelling, but given the hand Jan Guest was dealt in life, her grace and dignity are masterful.An engaging writer and a spiritually grounded soul, Jan Guest words are trail markers on the path from doubt to faith.	positive
0	A good movie?	Okay, granted the movie did help with scenes that contained gore, but if you really want the effect the story is trying to send people, read the book. The movie completely destroyed the ending. The purpose of Clarice and Hannibal's relationship in Silence of the Lambs and Hannibal is ripped away from you in this movie. How can Ridley Scott just destroy Thomas Harris's vision?	negative
1	I miss you!!	I have loved this hair dryer for almost two years and left it in a hotel room a week ago. I miss it terribly and will definitely buy another one...nothing else compares!!	positive
0	Package of 3 ???	The description clearly states package of 3. There are 15 per clip. This would make a total of 45. hansonent4 sent a package of 2 for a total of 30 tips. You do the math. Recommend this vendor. No way.The actual postage paid by hansonent4 was $1.39 USPS. Take a look how much they charge!	negative
1	A Winner!	I really enjoyed reading this book. It has a great story, and the writing is very good. The vivid descriptions really make you feel that you were there. When "Deena" spends years in isolation, you actually feel the boredom and time slipping away. I'm not sure why I don't rate this 5 stars--it doesn't quite make my list of the very best books I've ever read. Maybe because of the ending--it seemed a bit lackluster and not in pace with the rest of the book.	positive
0	The fake War of the Worlds	Cheap no-quality knock-off of Spielberg's film with bad actors shot on low quality video tape. Goes on forever. Save your money and buy the book.	negative
0	A horrible book!!!	This book was beyond horrible. Instead of giving real reasons that many people choose not to have kids, it went on and on about selfish reasons. I don't want kids but it's not because I want to save up for a mansion, sports car, buy all designer clothes and shoes. God, come on!!! This book wasn't even clever enough or witty enough to be funny-just insulting. Only a small portion actually deal with real reasons for not having kids: freedom.Please don't waste your money on this. I'll sell you mine for $1 if you're really desperate to read this trash.	negative
0	Needs improvement	My son got this toy for his birthday and it did work - we used fruit punch and it froze much quicker than I thought it would. However, it would not come out of the poor spout - we had to take the whole thing apart to get the slurpee out, by that time it was melting.It only makes one small slurpee at a time and you have to replace the ice after each use - it doesn't stay frozen long enough to make more than one drink.It was a cute toy, but we did return ours due to the hassle. It wasn't worth the time for the results we received.Also, I agree with one of the other reviewers...it's more an adult toy - the only part the children can do is poor in the liquid and turn it on. It's quite a process to make one small slurpee.	negative
0	I'LL EVER REGRET	I'LL EVER REGRET THE DAY I stepped into the theater to watch this junk. The Wayan brothers dissapointed me to a point of no return.. I'll never watch a film by them again...I enjoyed the senselessness of the first movie, that at least had a clear plot: it was a parody firmly centered around the movies SCREAMS and I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER, with this story line alouding jokes about a lot of other movies (MATRIX, etc).But the second one... it's all about bad tas, bad taste, bad taste, dirty jokes, dirty jokes, dirty jokes, corporeal fluids, nasty people. There's simply no humour, just bad taste. I imagine they buried this possible "franchise" forever...	negative
1	Michelle Pfeiffer is pfabulous!	This is one of the finest character comedies that Hollywood has produced in the last few decades. If you are the kind of movie watcher who enjoys a film that doesn't pander to the lowest class of troglodyte audience, this one's for you. It's smart, funny, intense and features the most memorable scene in recent romantic movie history- Michelle Pfeiffer in a red dress singing "Makin' Whoopee" atop a piano. This one proves Pfeiffer is the best actress working in Hollywood today...no doubt about it.	positive
0	This CD is full of pathetic screaming and bad lyrics	This CD sucks. Why are these stupid bands dissing the US? If they dont like it then get out! NoFX, Anti-Flag, and Nothingface all suck and have no idea on politics. I hate them and never will like them. I heard Ether on Uranium and was like "These dudes are soft...and they suck!" I listened to the other songs and they arent really soft but his screams are horrible. Listen to 40 Below Summer they kinda resemble Nothingface but are 50 times better. Dont support these anti-US losers.	negative
0	Very disappointing	I am a big fan of Robin Hobb and G.R.R. Martin's type of fantasy novels. In short, I appreciate well-crafted prose, well-drawn characters, and compelling plots. In the first book of the Fool's Gold series, I thought that while in my opinion Fisher may not be quite on the level of Hobb and Martin, she still had a lot to offer the reader. By the end of the second book, I was no longer certain of that. I still looked somewhat forward to reading the third book, however. I had planned to buy The Rose of the World, but found it on the "new" shelf at the local library before I could do so. How fortunate! Buying the book would have been a tremendous waste of money. The writing is, for lack of a better word, clumsy. The dialogue is often painfully awkward. Whatever had made me interested in the characters had vanished. I found myself wondering if Fisher wrote The Rose of the World merely because she had to fulfill a contract.	negative
0	Unrealistic Diaolgue & Actions, Bad Editing	Although this was a quick read, the characters, when not outright annoying, were cardboard and badly drawn without much substance. The dialogue was bad (what was the deal about that stupid "'Holy! Holy!" exclamation from the newsman's boss???!! The outcome was plain silly. And I can't believe that the author's written another book using 'Elmo Finn,' who was completely without depth and merit to be a central character. Waste of time.	negative
1	Intriging Title	Used this in an adult Sunday School class. More attendees than normal. Very well presented and received by the class. Thank you Liz!!!	positive
1	Grey's Anatomy	This is one of my must see shows. I enjoyed viewing the season in its entirety. They advertised 19 unaired scenes, and I don't think that there were quite that many, so I was a little disappointed with that part.	positive
0	Terrible Quality	My player failed (stopped playing when hot) after about 45 days. The replacement player from RCA did not work at all, so I am waiting for my third player.Avoid at all costs. Caveat Emptor.	negative
1	Instant Classic	Personally, I think this is the most exciting Pollard release since "Speak Kindly..." and certainly one of the high points of the Fading Captain Series so far. Although there are no fist-pumping rock anthems here, there's also no plodding acoustic dirges, no embarrasing experiments and nary a weak track on the whole damn thing. It has a very upbeat feeling and WARM sound to it. Something about the Aiport 5 albums strike me as a bit cold and metallic, and they make me feel like I'm listening to Pollard sing poetry over music he's hearing for the first time. This, on the other hand, sounds completely organic and natural, as though the beautiful instrumentals were tailor made for some classic Pollard melodies. Oh wait, they were! Kudos to Mac from Superchunk. I now have the soundtrack to my summer!!	positive
1	LOCKING PIN.........	The overall product is excellent, easy to assemble and works well. The only problem I had is the locking pin, to release the stand, will bind due to the stainless steel cable being at a slight angle. This does not happen all the time but as you use the release it works its way in a circular motion which in turn binds the nut which holds the locking pin. It is not a major problem but you need to be aware of it. Turn the locking pin back to its original position (temporary) or use a grinder to fix the problem.	positive
1	I can't wait to get to the Other Side	Sylvia's new book Life on the Other Side, is by far her best yet. Personally, I think that there are still a few unanswered questions about the Other Side, but I'm sure she'll answer them in another book. I especially liked this one because, not only did it recap some things in her previous books so new readers could understand, but the detailed description of the Other Side, as well as the pictures in the back were very very good. However, I do wish she had included a more elaborate meditation technique for finding out your true name, but I guess I'll just have to wait. All in all a great read, and I can't wait till she's on the Montel Show again.	positive
1	Works, takes some fiddling to set up...	I've been running one for a few weeks now and here's the problem I found with the device:The channels that you watch by using the channel up and down button on the remote are unique and distinct from the channels you can record. Most of the folks on here having problems getting it to record are probably stumbling in to this.I connected the unit to an antenna and my cable and had it scan for channels. This populates the list of channels you can watch. You can then press the menu key at a blank screen to enter the device menu, edit your channel list, etc.The channels you can record are dependent on the TV-Guide Channel. You have to program this list completely separately from the main list of watchable channels.Once you get both lists to co-incide with the best quality channels it works perfectly. Getting to that point takes time and lots of fiddling.	positive
0	I've heard better music of most 8-bit console systems	Besides the Terminator being an awesome movie with bad one liners and cornier action scenes, it was truely something of the 80's... I loved it honestly... the sound track does nothing for me as a listener. It doesnt move me like a dance CD. and most the music was made in ten minutes on an electric piano. what a bore, but the nintendo will sound wicked.	negative
0	Nerver Buried	I don't know whether it's me, but I'm not prepared to re-read the book to find out whether I missed the solution to some loose ends or whether the author didn't tie all of them. My suspension of disbelief was stretched thin.	negative
0	The best worst movie!	HomewreckerThis is one of the worst movies I have had the sad priviledge to (unfortunately) buy! The plot is pure kindergarten material. The actors (sorry for those who really are), are not even of the High School level as I have seen better in one of those high schools! Really! I am not mentioning anything about the quality of the pictures and decor. I was not only bored, but my sense of being taken for a ride was at it's peak, and constantly ringing the bell! What a real waste of money and time! Want something reeeeeeally good? Try "La cage aux folles" or "Brokeback mountain"! That is real movie, and there are many more to choose from! Save your money!!	negative
1	Sick, twisted, and hilarious...	I refer to this book as American Pycho meets Fight Club. Brilliant, witty writing. I read it in 2 days.	positive
0	This book is very misleading.	From the beginning, this book is misleading. Ms. Yahoo claims to represent something called the Etowah Band of Eastern Cherokees, which simply doesn't exist. Etowah is not even a Cherokee word. Etowah is a Muskogean place name. Her book is a mismash of New Age stuff, misunderstood Mayan cosmology, and even some Hinduism thrown in for good measure. The only authentic Cherokee lore in here is largely cribbed from Mooney's landmark "Myths of the Cherokee", because she follows Mooney's errors. Another poor example of cultural imperialism by a "wannabe" Indian.	negative
1	Nice upgrade and Nero too.	Bought this to replace my cd drive that died in my Dell XPS 400. Performs as advertised. Easy install. Nero "suite" software included. Excellent price.	positive
0	5 minutes of commercials	I really liked the play, it was very well done and worth watching. What I hate is the 5 minutes of commercials at the beginning of the DVD that you can't skip or fast forward through. This is just BS. A pox upon the people that do this. I will never purchase another HBO DVD.	negative
0	TOO SLOW AND LOW	This reading is VERY slow and the volume is really low. I had to play it on my surround sound system so my class could hear it. I ended up reading the majority of the book to them out loud.	negative
0	Avoid this flashlight (Amazon)	Purchased one which turned out to be defective. Cap for battery compartment would not screw back on -- the threads would not align.Ordered a replacement unit. Same problem. Save yourself the headache and look elsewhere.	negative
1	An outstanding album by Said Chraibi	This one of the best oud music around today by a self-taught moroccan musician who has today an international reputation. This recording features Jamal Rioui on percussions such as tar, daf, reqq, bendir and derbouka. Beautiful classical arabic music melodies including samais and longas and incredible taqasims. Highly recommended!	positive
0	My third and last Palm	I've been an avid Palm fan for several years, but the experience just buying my Palm Vx has been horrific. The CD was corrupt, but Palm would not replace it until I'd spent a week calling for help. After the replacement CD arrived, strange things kept happening, like 3 months of my MS Outlook calendar being purged! After spending several hundred dollars having tech support come in (thinking it was user error) I started again with Palm Tech support. The hardware was bad, and it took more than 15 hours, over a week and a half to get them to admit it and trade for a refurbished unit. There is now a two week backorder on the re-furbished units. I've since polled friends, and it looks like the Palm Vx has some serious problems as everyone who bought one recently has had problems. Buy a IIIx or a Handspring.	negative
0	Can be dangerous but fairly good	It's a good start. Too bad about the authenticity of the book. I was looking for something more spiritual. But for those of you who wish to change from Chrisitanity or so forth, this is a good start to Taoism and Buddhism. Note that some practises can be slightly dangerous, but overall a good book and revamp of his old book. Like all books that are similar, you must becareful not to 'overdose' which can lead you into a neurotic state.	negative
1	Beautiful cover	This book was highly technical and made for very dry and boring classes but I learned a lot from it. The cover was absolutely beautiful.	positive
1	A voice of reason	If you accept reason and evidence, you will find this book to be fascinating. If you are one of those who try to prevent the teaching of evolution in school or believe in the supernatural, you will probably try to have this book banned.	positive
1	First Sociology Text	Ibn Khaldun invents an entire academic subject in this work. What is more, his breadth is far beyond that of merely sociology - everything is fair game here. Even if you don't agree with everything, you have to admit that he is a major mind and has some of very challenging ideas.	positive

1	most interesting and entertaining album this year	This new album is really great. With tongue firmly in cheek, they tell the story of an astronaut receiving signals from the planet Kong. Having heard earlier albums, I was familiar with the style of storytelling they use in their songs; Infectious rhythms topped off with hilarious lyrics and catchy melodies. All that is here, but they have taken it up a level. It's as if King Kong has gone back in time and coupled with the Talking Heads album Remain In Light. Both albums let the music do as much talking as the words. The Big Bang is cinemagraphic in scope. I can't say enough about this album. Definitely the most interesting and entertaining thing I've heard so far this year.	positive
1	A triumph!	In one word, beautiful. I agree with Padilla's basic philosophy of compilations: variety. And this album has it! It features some deliciously lazy themes such as "Angels Landing" by the electronica champions Salt Tank (a personal favourite) to more rhythmical melodies like "Face a la Mer" by Les Negresses Vertes or the exquisitely trendy "Tout est Bleu" by Ame Strong. Melodies flow smoothly with no abrupt mood swings, creating a unique ambiance that will almost make you feel the soft breeze of the Mediterranean sea blowing through your living room.	positive
1	2 Games in 1!	Great game! Absolute blast to play, extremely funny, and basically 2-games-in-1. One one hand you have the "Missions" to do, on the other hand, you don't HAVE to do them if you don't want to. Just run around beating people up, stealing cars, doing stunts, pick up prostitutes, etc.You can steal any car in the game! ANY single one! cars, trucks, ambulances, scooters, motorcycles, Ferrari's, Lamborghini's, Corvettes, police cars...etc......This game is hysterical!The overall fun-factor (scale 1-10) has to be a "15"! No joke.Where else on Earth can you (legally) beat up cops, steal people's money, have the SWAT Team after you, all from the comforts of your couch?I never get tired of this game. As a matter of fact, I've owned this game since it first came out, and I never even TRY to finish the "missions" in the game. I simply pop in the game to steal the cars, and smack people around, and listen to the awesome 80's music soundtrack!	positive
1	Still Shreds	Maiden's "Powerslave" is still among the best of epic metal that one can find, even after all this time since its initial release. With each track being a mini-story in its own right, "Powerslave" is some of the best from a band who had inspired dozens of others.While the album overall is excellent, I have to agree with another reviewer that the better songs are at the beginning and end. "Aces High", "Powerslave" and "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" are all my own personal favourites. The latter weighs in at a massive 13 minutes or so, and is own a scale that is truly epic.Excellent rhythms and percussion make a solid foundation to the songs and what you end up with is simply great metal that tells great stories. Iron Maiden are rightly gods in this genre.	positive
0	Cheap junk	Don't buy this one, I used it once and the probe burned up. I sent it back to Amazon for a refund.	negative
1	Works like it should	We just got back from our trip to Europe with the both of us wearing Rick Steve's moneybelt. It seemed to work fine the way it should. The silk was great as it did not add that much more bulk and sweatiness to our outfits. Only one thing I question is the strange unfinished end of the strap of the belt. It was undone (not sewn up) so when we got it, it was already unraveling. We had to use a lighter to melt/burn the end so that it would stop. Weird design.	positive
1	Great CD for power walking	This CD is very motivating for moving along the pavement! Very fun, disco beat! Walk your mile in no time flat!	positive
0	Important information lacking	I bought the dictionary assuming it was somewhere near current. Imagine my disappointment to find that it was had a copyright of 1979!! I already had a Scrabble dictionary that was much more current. Living in New Zealand, I can get a refund if I spend twice the amount of the refund to post the book back to the U.S.. All in all, not a satisfied custormer.	negative
0	Catnip Plant	Two weeks after the company contacted me that they were going to start growing the catnip that very evening they cancelled the order. Sure am glad the economy is so good that Hirt's Gardens can cancel orders.	negative
0	A disappointment	This book was a major disappointment that needed the hand of a firm editor. The first two-thirds of the book were all background leading up to the hatching of the"dastardly deed." I like a thriller that grabs me on the first page, preferably in the first paragraph. I kept reading this book hoping that the pace would pick up, but it never did. Abrahams is a talented writer, but this story went nowhere and should not be classified as a thriller. I felt it was a waste of time and money.	negative
1	the one review	hmmmmm..... yes, very good. simple but not too simple, descriptive but not too descriptive, funny but not too- well you get my meaning. altogether a excellent book. quite smashing, wouldn't you say so chaps? Jolly ho!	positive
1	Good Sci-fi examining law, society and morality	I've been searching for another copy of this book for quite some time. My original copy was loaned out so many times, it apparently decided make a go of it on its own. An excellent read. The main character is a piece of human filth at the beginning of the story, and is landed on a prison planet in a shipload of similar creatures. Being thrown together in adversity makes a group of these lowlifes, and they find themselves fighting back-to-back against a whole planet of people like themselves, bloodthirsty, implacable and despairing. With no laws to break, and no society to offend, they find they have to construct such from scratch or die under the heels of the gangs they face.	positive
0	Not what I expected	Not a good Sherlock Holmes story. The novel is very predictable... If you are a Sherlock Holmes fan I would not recommend this novel...if you want a good Holmes/Ripper confrontation than read The Whitechapel Horrors by Edward Hanna. Much, much better than The Last Sherlock Holmes Story. END	negative
0	Did they have to put Kevin Smith in it?	He adds nothing to the movie except his sick jokes and terrible non existent acting. And Jennifer regretfully plays an airhead role, she is starting to turn into an Angelina Joile, and we don't want anymore trash in Hollywood, try Washington DC.	negative
0	UGATE Return policy - Beware	If you purchase a Ugate-3000 keep in mind UMAX's return policy. My Ugate-3000 worked fine for 26 days, then it stopped working. I called UMAX tech support and I was told that it sounded like a hardware failure. I should box it up and send it to them. (I pay shipping) They will take a look at it and if they find that it is broken, they will ship me another one. I assume the turn around time for this has to be at least shipping both ways, which would be two weeks, plus however long they keep it to "look" at it. I suspect that it would be around 3 weeks before I see a new router. I called eCost and because it was less than 30 days, I asked for a replacement. If you can go without a router for a month if yours is broken, think about the ugate 3000.EDIT: This router finally died after the warrantee expire. I would not suggest produces from this company. Try Netgear.	negative
1	From the Board Games Editor at BellaOnline.com	If you like Balderdash and you like the Scene It games, you're going to love this game. It's fun, funny, highly interactive and a total blast. Players are shown a clip on DVD, and they must describe what exactly is happening. I am at a complete loss as to where they got some of these clips, but they are hilarious.My one complaint about this game (and the entire line of Scene It games) is that they sort of defeat the idea of turning off the television and playing a board game, but for any household who thinks they watch too much TV, at least this is a step away from trashy primetime shows, and for families who don't watch much TV at all, you have nothing to worry about. In any case, the game is fun, unique and well thought out.	positive
0	Classic literature classically bad...	I thought the book was a fun read and went rather quickly, but as most mystery novels of the era the lack in depth to the plot and characters diminishes the story. Maybe i just hated the abysmal ending, but hey i will leave that for others to critic.	negative
1	Rebecca	She's stunning - he's so handsome - it's all so beautifully mysterious - you HAVE to watch this!	positive
1	Hit and miss	This album is a mix of many things. 4 songs are really good and have been put on my MP3 player. 4 songs stink. The remaining 4 tracks are okay.These women have talent, I'm just not sure they've peaked yet. At least not in this album.If they reach their full potential they'll be awesome, but for now, they're cool.	positive
0	Not good skates!	We bought these for our 4 yr old and were disappointed with them. Too big and hard to handle, however, we picked up a pair of the basic plastic pair that her shoe can also fit in and she did great! After they get the hang of those, the Barbie adjustable inline skates are great! They are $ and well worth it! Stay away from the "learn to inline skates" though! Luckily the store took those back!	negative
1	Well worth the price	This product really directs the warm air into the room instead of along the window. It doesn't have to be expensive in order to work well.	positive
0	Shoddy research	I had the displeasure of reading this book in it's entirety this week. There wasn't any new information here at all. The "research" consists of stories that can be found on any conspiracy web site on the Internet. Saying that I'm not impressed is about the nicest thing I can say...This book is a major disappointment. The same information can be found anywhere on the Internet, and requires no special research. Some of the information...should be viewed with a very discerning eye.Very disappointing!	negative
1	Phenomenal	Having only the most basic knowledge of the financial community, and knowing nothing about Wall Street, Langley's book is an absolute treasure trove of facts, insights and commentary of how Wall Street operated forty years ago to this very day.

1	I CANT QUIT !	Let's face it, not all electronica/soul cd's are worth your buy. Many times I'll try one out and toss it a month later due to unoriginality and boring melodies; but when a friend of mine handed me the dubut album by this woman, I was hooked solid. It's hard to sum this sound up into words, all I can say is that it's a rhythmic journey through soul and fire which takes the listener into various emotional terrains and leaves us looking to buy property there by the end of the album. This album is suggested to you with my highest reccomendation, and I am a musical SNOB so these reccomendations do not come easy!. Check her out, buy the album or find a way to become introduced to this fine quality of music.	positive
1	Great Purchase!	This book is absolutely perfect for the Tennessee gardener! I am very happy with it. The color illustrations are very useful. And the chapter on the geological composition of Tennessee is fascinating. I love this book! I can't wait for next spring when I can add all of the native plant species to my garden.	positive
1	Very handy tea for one	This Tea infuser is great for those times when you only need one cup. I like it better than the cups with the wire mesh strainer, because they hold the tea up top, while this one allows the tea to settle deeper in the water. This creates a more even brew. Another positive is the clear cup allows you to see how strong the tea is getting without having to lift out the strainer in a ceramic mug.	positive
0	A terrible NFL series	You'd think they would show more respect to the venerable National Football League. This horrendous gift set features some of the the worst quality filming and scripting ever in a sports documentary. These tapes in no way do the NFL any justice. Many important plays in football history are bypassed. This set seems to have been slapped together by some amateurs in their garage. I'm going to have to throw the flag in and warn you to stay away from this encroachment.	negative
1	FINALLY!!!!!!	I have waited MANY years for this to come out on DVD. My VHS tapes gave out long ago. I saw this originally on TV and remember vividily my mother trying to record the movies from the TV to a VHS tape but trying to edit the commercials and the "scenes I was too young to see". I love Patrick Swayze in this movie. The costumes, the settings, everthing almost made me wish I was born in this movie.	positive
1	Does What I Want	I bought this lawn mower particulary to mow a ditch bank at the front of my yard. I had previously used a gas mower which had all the negatives of "hard to start","money for gas","oil changes" and "pollution". Not to mention the difficulty of pushing a heavy gas mower on an angled ditch bank.This electric mower has none of the negatives disscussed above and does a great job of mowing grass.	positive
1	A Great Read!	I had read most of the Pern books, and enjoyed this one as much as, if not more than the rest!	positive
1	Just as expected, it worked	Our company had several parallel port printers that still work very well, but the new computers had only USB connectors. These adapters fixed the problem well and saved us the cost of replacing good printers.	positive
1	Humorous, colorful and immensely entertaining!	This was another immensely entertaining and satisfying novel from Connie Willis. It was humorous and filled with colorful characters; Cyril the dog is one of the best nonhuman characters in recent literature. Willis doesn't bog us down with the physics of time travel; she asks us to believe the possibility and proceeds with a charming mystery/romance set in both the future and in Victorian times. As in her previous novel, The Doomsday Book, the strength of the novel is in her detailed imagining of the past. The tone is light and it doesn't quite pack the emotional punch of her grim previous novel, however, it is very well written and cleverly plotted. The last fifty pages will leave your head spinning as you work out the possibilities. Another memorable novel, I highly recommend it.	positive
1	A theological beach novel	Like all the books in Susan Howatch's Church of England series, "Scandalous Risks" has a page-turning plot and a good dose of romance and intrigue, while also being an exploration of 20th-century Anglican theology and spirituality. In this novel, the sexual tension is between a young woman and a married Anglican priest, and theologically, it's about a certain type of liberal theology (specifically, the 1960s book "Honest to God" by Bishop John Robinson) and its potential for misuse.The six books in the series, plus "The Wonder Worker," which might as well be part of the series, move through the 20th century and have overlapping characters, but there's no need to read them in order. My favorites are this one, "Glamorous Powers," and "Absolute Truths."	positive
1	Outstanding Stereo Sound	This is my second Yamaha stereo receiver. The first was a CR 2020 purchased about 32 years ago. That unit produced 150w per channal and had a natural clean sound. The right channal finally went out so I purchased the RX 497 to replace it. This unit at 75w per channal sounds even better then the CR 2020. Obviously 30+ years of tech advances does make a difference. If you are looking for clean natural distortion free sound this is the unit to purchase.	positive
1	a good movie but with some uncomfortable moments	This movie was very well done. The first 10 minutes were in the dark. Peoples faces appeared in an out. It took me out of my comfort zone. As the 3 stages of starvation start to play out, it became chilling. How often do we choose not to eat? After 34 days when you enter stage 3 you have a 50/50 chance of life. Do you choose to hunt and kill your fellow prisoners? Do you take the high road ?While it was a very well made film. I felt the director went too far the actors did go on crash diets. I felt that the desire to make a great film resulted in the actors were put into peril. I felt guilty watching it, feeling in a way that i was an accessory to the actors peril. Normally I would tell people to watch a film without directors commentary first . In this case to let yourself off the hook with guilt I would recommend listening to the directors commentary the first time through.	positive

1	Only works with three or four players	I like this game. It is fairly quick and easy to learn. It doesn't take long to set up either. The gist of it is that there are different sized towns scattered across the landscape and you get points for attaching them to your road network. More points for the larger towns. The cost for laying your roads differs based on the terrain type so you want to get the cheaper paths before anyone else. With three or four players, it works as a short filler game.I strongly recommend buying something else though if you want a two-player game. According to the rules, the second player to choose a starting place goes first so that player can put the starting place in front of the other player's and immediately block it with a road. This gives that player a significant advantage and whoever chooses the first starting place will almost always lose.	positive

0	Total waste	I purchased this surgical binder and after one wearing I tossed it in the bin. It was difficult to put on and it rolled over after a short period of use.I was approached by a rep of the company to ask that I remove the unfavorable review that I had posted earlier. They proposed a full refund if I erased my negative comments.Against my better judgement and principles I agreed, but never did receive reimbursement even after filing a complaint with Amazon. Very poor business practice.My review will stay this time, regardless of temptation. This is not a product I would recommend, especially after finding far better alternatives that satisfy my needs.	negative

This isn't selling well, hence the terrific price, but let me tell you that whether you spend ELEVEN,or ONE-dollar, you get your money's worth!Folks who only want the best restoration and bonus extras, might check out THE ULTIMATE STOOGE COLLECTION.The spoken language tracks areENGLISH/SPANISH, withENGLISH/SPANISH/FRENCH subtitles.All yooze foreign -- and domestic -- folks that speak somethingbesides ENGLISH might finally find out what "nyuck! nyuck! nyuck!" and "woo! woo! woo!"mean in Y=O=U=R country's language, eh?	positive
1	Great product, poor shipping method	The product itself it great and exactly what we wanted. Unfortunately, during the shipping process one of the corners was pretty dented and damaged to the point where it sits a bit funny on the ground. Since we have carpet it's not an issue but had this been a smaller/lighter item we would have definitely returned in through Amazon. I think many people have experienced this issue so Amazon really needs to figure out a new way to ship these products without issue.	positive
1	Handy, comfortable and durable	I just got one of these, and like it very much.I didn't notice from the pictures that the fold-over outer flap has two snaps that let you secure it to the base of the bag. The inner compartments are plentiful, I was able to stuff it with a raincoat, a couple of hefty books, a phone and a PDA, and assorted little things.I only really see a few bad points with it. The first is that the cell phone pocket on the strap will only really fit the modern small phones (my Nokia fits snugly), and that when you carry the bag without strapping into it, the phone pouch is just dangling on the hanging strap. If the phone isn't well secured, it can plop right out.The other problem is that I think the bag is very right-handed. Not a problem for me, but I think a lefty is going to want the weight of the bag on their right hip, and the phone pouch more available to their left hand.	positive
0	Worthless	This is not a good movie. I'm telling you, if you buy it you won't like it. M. Night Shamalyan is not a movie director. The Sixth Sense was ok, Unbreakable was awful, and this was the worst one yet(It didn't even have Bruce Willis in it). Mel Gibson's acting is boring and predictable in this movie, and it's hard to like a character Joaquin Phoenix plays after seeing Gladiator. The children are ok in this movie and the little girl is sometimes funny, but they dont have any real talent. Let's get one thing straight, also, THIS MOVIE IS NOT SCARY!! Watching a flashlight roll around on the ground is not scary. I don't know how someone watched this movie and thought that it was a winner. Don't buy it. Please. Just Don't. Trust Me.	negative
0	Save your money!	This book may have introduced some interesting concepts back in 1969, but, compared with books on similiar subjects like "Enders Game" by O.S. Card and "In Conquest Born" by C. S. Friedman, it is simply boring today.	negative

WOW what a pleasant surprise ...

Certainly much better quality writing that I would have expected from a Red Stripe book ..... This not strikly what I would consider an erotica book although it does have frank and explicit sex ....Elda, forced to run away from an abusive home at the age of 13 finds herself in an orphanage where she experienced a complete spectrum of sexual awakening and sexual abuse .... She finally gets adopted by a kindly older couple but any joy of that life were short as she once again found herself on the street and alone ....Elda get raped on several occasions and as a result she develops a very strong dislike for intensive sex with men ..It's probably one of the best works describing life and lonliness for a very young girl forced to live with the strength of her wits on the streets ....

I wouldn't buy this blender again nor recommend it to anyone.

My son got this for Chritmas, by Dec. 27 the toy did not work. My son was very upset and so are his parents. The car powers on but the remote seems to have some type of short.

Could have been much better

I just finished this book about 10 minutes ago and I am extremely miffed that it ended the way it did. I cannot understand how a book series can go from being extremely detailed to just nothing at the end. What was the point of dragging the series on for 7 books if it was going to be ended with a dull moan. There was so much room for detail and if the book had another 10 chapters I believe it would have been much better. The ending of Hugh the Hand was a EXTREME letdown...he was just gone, very anticlimatic.Problems I had with it...SPOILER ALERT1) Became much to sappy towards the end2) Hugh the Hand dies without a parting word3) Haplos daughter never makes a entrance4) The final outcome of the two races was never discussed5) Who the heck was Zifnab6) The whole book just seemed rushed to be over with7) Inconsistencies throughout the book8) Just left with a sad feeling of "THATS ALL???"I am glad I finished the series but in truth it was a major letdown.

Not all that it's cracked up to be

Relentless was Judd Nelson's best film. Though it's not great at all, the kills are stupid, and so is the story. If you want a really good serial killer movie, buy The watcher with Keanu Reeves. This film was stupid and not at all frightening or grotesque like they said it would be. It could have been much better. But I give Judd Nelson 5 stars for doing his best in this film. Though the story and plot stunk.

I hate rap and Beg For Mercy didn't help me, it's just a rehash of gangsta (c)rap. (...) all made great music, but these days it's just running around in circles with the words Gangsta, (...). The millions of hardciore rap fans out there (including some of my friends) obviously suffered some serious brain damage.

A good movie?

Okay, granted the movie did help with scenes that contained gore, but if you really want the effect the story is trying to send people, read the book. The movie completely destroyed the ending. The purpose of Clarice and Hannibal's relationship in Silence of the Lambs and Hannibal is ripped away from you in this movie. How can Ridley Scott just destroy Thomas Harris's vision?

A Winner!

I really enjoyed reading this book. It has a great story, and the writing is very good. The vivid descriptions really make you feel that you were there. When "Deena" spends years in isolation, you actually feel the boredom and time slipping away. I'm not sure why I don't rate this 5 stars--it doesn't quite make my list of the very best books I've ever read. Maybe because of the ending--it seemed a bit lackluster and not in pace with the rest of the book.

This book was beyond horrible. Instead of giving real reasons that many people choose not to have kids, it went on and on about selfish reasons. I don't want kids but it's not because I want to save up for a mansion, sports car, buy all designer clothes and shoes. God, come on!!! This book wasn't even clever enough or witty enough to be funny-just insulting. Only a small portion actually deal with real reasons for not having kids: freedom.Please don't waste your money on this. I'll sell you mine for $1 if you're really desperate to read this trash.

Needs improvement

My son got this toy for his birthday and it did work - we used fruit punch and it froze much quicker than I thought it would. However, it would not come out of the poor spout - we had to take the whole thing apart to get the slurpee out, by that time it was melting.It only makes one small slurpee at a time and you have to replace the ice after each use - it doesn't stay frozen long enough to make more than one drink.It was a cute toy, but we did return ours due to the hassle. It wasn't worth the time for the results we received.Also, I agree with one of the other reviewers...it's more an adult toy - the only part the children can do is poor in the liquid and turn it on. It's quite a process to make one small slurpee.

I'LL EVER REGRET

I'LL EVER REGRET THE DAY I stepped into the theater to watch this junk. The Wayan brothers dissapointed me to a point of no return.. I'll never watch a film by them again...I enjoyed the senselessness of the first movie, that at least had a clear plot: it was a parody firmly centered around the movies SCREAMS and I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER, with this story line alouding jokes about a lot of other movies (MATRIX, etc).But the second one... it's all about bad tas, bad taste, bad taste, dirty jokes, dirty jokes, dirty jokes, corporeal fluids, nasty people. There's simply no humour, just bad taste. I imagine they buried this possible "franchise" forever...

Michelle Pfeiffer is pfabulous!

This is one of the finest character comedies that Hollywood has produced in the last few decades. If you are the kind of movie watcher who enjoys a film that doesn't pander to the lowest class of troglodyte audience, this one's for you. It's smart, funny, intense and features the most memorable scene in recent romantic movie history- Michelle Pfeiffer in a red dress singing "Makin' Whoopee" atop a piano. This one proves Pfeiffer is the best actress working in Hollywood today...no doubt about it.

This CD sucks. Why are these stupid bands dissing the US? If they dont like it then get out! NoFX, Anti-Flag, and Nothingface all suck and have no idea on politics. I hate them and never will like them. I heard Ether on Uranium and was like "These dudes are soft...and they suck!" I listened to the other songs and they arent really soft but his screams are horrible. Listen to 40 Below Summer they kinda resemble Nothingface but are 50 times better. Dont support these anti-US losers.

Very disappointing

I am a big fan of Robin Hobb and G.R.R. Martin's type of fantasy novels. In short, I appreciate well-crafted prose, well-drawn characters, and compelling plots. In the first book of the Fool's Gold series, I thought that while in my opinion Fisher may not be quite on the level of Hobb and Martin, she still had a lot to offer the reader. By the end of the second book, I was no longer certain of that. I still looked somewhat forward to reading the third book, however. I had planned to buy The Rose of the World, but found it on the "new" shelf at the local library before I could do so. How fortunate! Buying the book would have been a tremendous waste of money. The writing is, for lack of a better word, clumsy. The dialogue is often painfully awkward. Whatever had made me interested in the characters had vanished. I found myself wondering if Fisher wrote The Rose of the World merely because she had to fulfill a contract.

Unrealistic Diaolgue & Actions, Bad Editing

Although this was a quick read, the characters, when not outright annoying, were cardboard and badly drawn without much substance. The dialogue was bad (what was the deal about that stupid "'Holy! Holy!" exclamation from the newsman's boss???!! The outcome was plain silly. And I can't believe that the author's written another book using 'Elmo Finn,' who was completely without depth and merit to be a central character. Waste of time.

Instant Classic

Personally, I think this is the most exciting Pollard release since "Speak Kindly..." and certainly one of the high points of the Fading Captain Series so far. Although there are no fist-pumping rock anthems here, there's also no plodding acoustic dirges, no embarrasing experiments and nary a weak track on the whole damn thing. It has a very upbeat feeling and WARM sound to it. Something about the Aiport 5 albums strike me as a bit cold and metallic, and they make me feel like I'm listening to Pollard sing poetry over music he's hearing for the first time. This, on the other hand, sounds completely organic and natural, as though the beautiful instrumentals were tailor made for some classic Pollard melodies. Oh wait, they were! Kudos to Mac from Superchunk. I now have the soundtrack to my summer!!

LOCKING PIN.........

The overall product is excellent, easy to assemble and works well. The only problem I had is the locking pin, to release the stand, will bind due to the stainless steel cable being at a slight angle. This does not happen all the time but as you use the release it works its way in a circular motion which in turn binds the nut which holds the locking pin. It is not a major problem but you need to be aware of it. Turn the locking pin back to its original position (temporary) or use a grinder to fix the problem.

I can't wait to get to the Other Side

Sylvia's new book Life on the Other Side, is by far her best yet. Personally, I think that there are still a few unanswered questions about the Other Side, but I'm sure she'll answer them in another book. I especially liked this one because, not only did it recap some things in her previous books so new readers could understand, but the detailed description of the Other Side, as well as the pictures in the back were very very good. However, I do wish she had included a more elaborate meditation technique for finding out your true name, but I guess I'll just have to wait. All in all a great read, and I can't wait till she's on the Montel Show again.

Works, takes some fiddling to set up...

I've been running one for a few weeks now and here's the problem I found with the device:The channels that you watch by using the channel up and down button on the remote are unique and distinct from the channels you can record. Most of the folks on here having problems getting it to record are probably stumbling in to this.I connected the unit to an antenna and my cable and had it scan for channels. This populates the list of channels you can watch. You can then press the menu key at a blank screen to enter the device menu, edit your channel list, etc.The channels you can record are dependent on the TV-Guide Channel. You have to program this list completely separately from the main list of watchable channels.Once you get both lists to co-incide with the best quality channels it works perfectly. Getting to that point takes time and lots of fiddling.

The best worst movie!

HomewreckerThis is one of the worst movies I have had the sad priviledge to (unfortunately) buy! The plot is pure kindergarten material. The actors (sorry for those who really are), are not even of the High School level as I have seen better in one of those high schools! Really! I am not mentioning anything about the quality of the pictures and decor. I was not only bored, but my sense of being taken for a ride was at it's peak, and constantly ringing the bell! What a real waste of money and time! Want something reeeeeeally good? Try "La cage aux folles" or "Brokeback mountain"! That is real movie, and there are many more to choose from! Save your money!!

This book is very misleading.

From the beginning, this book is misleading. Ms. Yahoo claims to represent something called the Etowah Band of Eastern Cherokees, which simply doesn't exist. Etowah is not even a Cherokee word. Etowah is a Muskogean place name. Her book is a mismash of New Age stuff, misunderstood Mayan cosmology, and even some Hinduism thrown in for good measure. The only authentic Cherokee lore in here is largely cribbed from Mooney's landmark "Myths of the Cherokee", because she follows Mooney's errors. Another poor example of cultural imperialism by a "wannabe" Indian.

My third and last Palm

I've been an avid Palm fan for several years, but the experience just buying my Palm Vx has been horrific. The CD was corrupt, but Palm would not replace it until I'd spent a week calling for help. After the replacement CD arrived, strange things kept happening, like 3 months of my MS Outlook calendar being purged! After spending several hundred dollars having tech support come in (thinking it was user error) I started again with Palm Tech support. The hardware was bad, and it took more than 15 hours, over a week and a half to get them to admit it and trade for a refurbished unit. There is now a two week backorder on the re-furbished units. I've since polled friends, and it looks like the Palm Vx has some serious problems as everyone who bought one recently has had problems. Buy a IIIx or a Handspring.

Can be dangerous but fairly good

It's a good start. Too bad about the authenticity of the book. I was looking for something more spiritual. But for those of you who wish to change from Chrisitanity or so forth, this is a good start to Taoism and Buddhism. Note that some practises can be slightly dangerous, but overall a good book and revamp of his old book. Like all books that are similar, you must becareful not to 'overdose' which can lead you into a neurotic state.

If you accept reason and evidence, you will find this book to be fascinating. If you are one of those who try to prevent the teaching of evolution in school or believe in the supernatural, you will probably try to have this book banned.

First Sociology Text

Ibn Khaldun invents an entire academic subject in this work. What is more, his breadth is far beyond that of merely sociology - everything is fair game here. Even if you don't agree with everything, you have to admit that he is a major mind and has some of very challenging ideas.

most interesting and entertaining album this year

This new album is really great. With tongue firmly in cheek, they tell the story of an astronaut receiving signals from the planet Kong. Having heard earlier albums, I was familiar with the style of storytelling they use in their songs; Infectious rhythms topped off with hilarious lyrics and catchy melodies. All that is here, but they have taken it up a level. It's as if King Kong has gone back in time and coupled with the Talking Heads album Remain In Light. Both albums let the music do as much talking as the words. The Big Bang is cinemagraphic in scope. I can't say enough about this album. Definitely the most interesting and entertaining thing I've heard so far this year.

A triumph!

In one word, beautiful. I agree with Padilla's basic philosophy of compilations: variety. And this album has it! It features some deliciously lazy themes such as "Angels Landing" by the electronica champions Salt Tank (a personal favourite) to more rhythmical melodies like "Face a la Mer" by Les Negresses Vertes or the exquisitely trendy "Tout est Bleu" by Ame Strong. Melodies flow smoothly with no abrupt mood swings, creating a unique ambiance that will almost make you feel the soft breeze of the Mediterranean sea blowing through your living room.

2 Games in 1!

Great game! Absolute blast to play, extremely funny, and basically 2-games-in-1. One one hand you have the "Missions" to do, on the other hand, you don't HAVE to do them if you don't want to. Just run around beating people up, stealing cars, doing stunts, pick up prostitutes, etc.You can steal any car in the game! ANY single one! cars, trucks, ambulances, scooters, motorcycles, Ferrari's, Lamborghini's, Corvettes, police cars...etc......This game is hysterical!The overall fun-factor (scale 1-10) has to be a "15"! No joke.Where else on Earth can you (legally) beat up cops, steal people's money, have the SWAT Team after you, all from the comforts of your couch?I never get tired of this game. As a matter of fact, I've owned this game since it first came out, and I never even TRY to finish the "missions" in the game. I simply pop in the game to steal the cars, and smack people around, and listen to the awesome 80's music soundtrack!

Still Shreds

Maiden's "Powerslave" is still among the best of epic metal that one can find, even after all this time since its initial release. With each track being a mini-story in its own right, "Powerslave" is some of the best from a band who had inspired dozens of others.While the album overall is excellent, I have to agree with another reviewer that the better songs are at the beginning and end. "Aces High", "Powerslave" and "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" are all my own personal favourites. The latter weighs in at a massive 13 minutes or so, and is own a scale that is truly epic.Excellent rhythms and percussion make a solid foundation to the songs and what you end up with is simply great metal that tells great stories. Iron Maiden are rightly gods in this genre.

Works like it should

We just got back from our trip to Europe with the both of us wearing Rick Steve's moneybelt. It seemed to work fine the way it should. The silk was great as it did not add that much more bulk and sweatiness to our outfits. Only one thing I question is the strange unfinished end of the strap of the belt. It was undone (not sewn up) so when we got it, it was already unraveling. We had to use a lighter to melt/burn the end so that it would stop. Weird design.

A disappointment

This book was a major disappointment that needed the hand of a firm editor. The first two-thirds of the book were all background leading up to the hatching of the"dastardly deed." I like a thriller that grabs me on the first page, preferably in the first paragraph. I kept reading this book hoping that the pace would pick up, but it never did. Abrahams is a talented writer, but this story went nowhere and should not be classified as a thriller. I felt it was a waste of time and money.

Good Sci-fi examining law, society and morality

I've been searching for another copy of this book for quite some time. My original copy was loaned out so many times, it apparently decided make a go of it on its own. An excellent read. The main character is a piece of human filth at the beginning of the story, and is landed on a prison planet in a shipload of similar creatures. Being thrown together in adversity makes a group of these lowlifes, and they find themselves fighting back-to-back against a whole planet of people like themselves, bloodthirsty, implacable and despairing. With no laws to break, and no society to offend, they find they have to construct such from scratch or die under the heels of the gangs they face.

UGATE Return policy - Beware

If you purchase a Ugate-3000 keep in mind UMAX's return policy. My Ugate-3000 worked fine for 26 days, then it stopped working. I called UMAX tech support and I was told that it sounded like a hardware failure. I should box it up and send it to them. (I pay shipping) They will take a look at it and if they find that it is broken, they will ship me another one. I assume the turn around time for this has to be at least shipping both ways, which would be two weeks, plus however long they keep it to "look" at it. I suspect that it would be around 3 weeks before I see a new router. I called eCost and because it was less than 30 days, I asked for a replacement. If you can go without a router for a month if yours is broken, think about the ugate 3000.EDIT: This router finally died after the warrantee expire. I would not suggest produces from this company. Try Netgear.

From the Board Games Editor at BellaOnline.com

If you like Balderdash and you like the Scene It games, you're going to love this game. It's fun, funny, highly interactive and a total blast. Players are shown a clip on DVD, and they must describe what exactly is happening. I am at a complete loss as to where they got some of these clips, but they are hilarious.My one complaint about this game (and the entire line of Scene It games) is that they sort of defeat the idea of turning off the television and playing a board game, but for any household who thinks they watch too much TV, at least this is a step away from trashy primetime shows, and for families who don't watch much TV at all, you have nothing to worry about. In any case, the game is fun, unique and well thought out.

Classic literature classically bad...

I thought the book was a fun read and went rather quickly, but as most mystery novels of the era the lack in depth to the plot and characters diminishes the story. Maybe i just hated the abysmal ending, but hey i will leave that for others to critic.

I had the displeasure of reading this book in it's entirety this week. There wasn't any new information here at all. The "research" consists of stories that can be found on any conspiracy web site on the Internet. Saying that I'm not impressed is about the nicest thing I can say...This book is a major disappointment. The same information can be found anywhere on the Internet, and requires no special research. Some of the information...should be viewed with a very discerning eye.Very disappointing!

Phenomenal

Having only the most basic knowledge of the financial community, and knowing nothing about Wall Street, Langley's book is an absolute treasure trove of facts, insights and commentary of how Wall Street operated forty years ago to this very day. Her book well written, concise and totally comprehendible regardless of your financial know-how.Sandy Weill has achieved the most incredible amount throughout his lifetime. No challenge was incomprehensible. From Corned Beef With Lettuce to Citicorp, the book details how the man today who shapes Wall Street overcame every imaginable obstacle.High Street brands and personalities we are all familiar with come together in this fabulously orchestrated jigsaw which today has come together to form one of the most recognisable consumer financial firms today - Citibank.A tremendous read.

I CANT QUIT !

Let's face it, not all electronica/soul cd's are worth your buy. Many times I'll try one out and toss it a month later due to unoriginality and boring melodies; but when a friend of mine handed me the dubut album by this woman, I was hooked solid. It's hard to sum this sound up into words, all I can say is that it's a rhythmic journey through soul and fire which takes the listener into various emotional terrains and leaves us looking to buy property there by the end of the album. This album is suggested to you with my highest reccomendation, and I am a musical SNOB so these reccomendations do not come easy!. Check her out, buy the album or find a way to become introduced to this fine quality of music.

Very handy tea for one

This Tea infuser is great for those times when you only need one cup. I like it better than the cups with the wire mesh strainer, because they hold the tea up top, while this one allows the tea to settle deeper in the water. This creates a more even brew. Another positive is the clear cup allows you to see how strong the tea is getting without having to lift out the strainer in a ceramic mug.

A terrible NFL series

You'd think they would show more respect to the venerable National Football League. This horrendous gift set features some of the the worst quality filming and scripting ever in a sports documentary. These tapes in no way do the NFL any justice. Many important plays in football history are bypassed. This set seems to have been slapped together by some amateurs in their garage. I'm going to have to throw the flag in and warn you to stay away from this encroachment.

I have waited MANY years for this to come out on DVD. My VHS tapes gave out long ago.

Humorous, colorful and immensely entertaining!

This was another immensely entertaining and satisfying novel from Connie Willis. It was humorous and filled with colorful characters; Cyril the dog is one of the best nonhuman characters in recent literature. Willis doesn't bog us down with the physics of time travel; she asks us to believe the possibility and proceeds with a charming mystery/romance set in both the future and in Victorian times. As in her previous novel, The Doomsday Book, the strength of the novel is in her detailed imagining of the past. The tone is light and it doesn't quite pack the emotional punch of her grim previous novel, however, it is very well written and cleverly plotted. The last fifty pages will leave your head spinning as you work out the possibilities. Another memorable novel, I highly recommend it.

A theological beach novel

Like all the books in Susan Howatch's Church of England series, "Scandalous Risks" has a page-turning plot and a good dose of romance and intrigue, while also being an exploration of 20th-century Anglican theology and spirituality. In this novel, the sexual tension is between a young woman and a married Anglican priest, and theologically, it's about a certain type of liberal theology (specifically, the 1960s book "Honest to God" by Bishop John Robinson) and its potential for misuse.The six books in the series, plus "The Wonder Worker," which might as well be part of the series, move through the 20th century and have overlapping characters, but there's no need to read them in order. My favorites are this one, "Glamorous Powers," and "Absolute Truths."

Outstanding Stereo Sound

This is my second Yamaha stereo receiver. The first was a CR 2020 purchased about 32 years ago. That unit produced 150w per channal and had a natural clean sound. The right channal finally went out so I purchased the RX 497 to replace it. This unit at 75w per channal sounds even better then the CR 2020. Obviously 30+ years of tech advances does make a difference. If you are looking for clean natural distortion free sound this is the unit to purchase.

a good movie but with some uncomfortable moments

This movie was very well done. The first 10 minutes were in the dark. Peoples faces appeared in an out. It took me out of my comfort zone. As the 3 stages of starvation start to play out, it became chilling. How often do we choose not to eat? After 34 days when you enter stage 3 you have a 50/50 chance of life. Do you choose to hunt and kill your fellow prisoners? Do you take the high road ?While it was a very well made film. I felt the director went too far the actors did go on crash diets. I felt that the desire to make a great film resulted in the actors were put into peril. I felt guilty watching it, feeling in a way that i was an accessory to the actors peril. Normally I would tell people to watch a film without directors commentary first . In this case to let yourself off the hook with guilt I would recommend listening to the directors commentary the first time through.

Only works with three or four players

I like this game. It is fairly quick and easy to learn. It doesn't take long to set up either. The gist of it is that there are different sized towns scattered across the landscape and you get points for attaching them to your road network. More points for the larger towns. The cost for laying your roads differs based on the terrain type so you want to get the cheaper paths before anyone else. With three or four players, it works as a short filler game.I strongly recommend buying something else though if you want a two-player game. According to the rules, the second player to choose a starting place goes first so that player can put the starting place in front of the other player's and immediately block it with a road. This gives that player a significant advantage and whoever chooses the first starting place will almost always lose.

The product itself it great and exactly what we wanted. Unfortunately, during the shipping process one of the corners was pretty dented and damaged to the point where it sits a bit funny on the ground. Since we have carpet it's not an issue but had this been a smaller/lighter item we would have definitely returned in through Amazon. I think many people have experienced this issue so Amazon really needs to figure out a new way to ship these products without issue.

Handy, comfortable and durable

I just got one of these, and like it very much.I didn't notice from the pictures that the fold-over outer flap has two snaps that let you secure it to the base of the bag. The inner compartments are plentiful, I was able to stuff it with a raincoat, a couple of hefty books, a phone and a PDA, and assorted little things.I only really see a few bad points with it. The first is that the cell phone pocket on the strap will only really fit the modern small phones (my Nokia fits snugly), and that when you carry the bag without strapping into it, the phone pouch is just dangling on the hanging strap. If the phone isn't well secured, it can plop right out.The other problem is that I think the bag is very right-handed. Not a problem for me, but I think a lefty is going to want the weight of the bag on their right hip, and the phone pouch more available to their left hand.

Worthless

This is not a good movie. I'm telling you, if you buy it you won't like it. M. Night Shamalyan is not a movie director. The Sixth Sense was ok, Unbreakable was awful, and this was the worst one yet(It didn't even have Bruce Willis in it). Mel Gibson's acting is boring and predictable in this movie, and it's hard to like a character Joaquin Phoenix plays after seeing Gladiator. The children are ok in this movie and the little girl is sometimes funny, but they dont have any real talent. Let's get one thing straight, also, THIS MOVIE IS NOT SCARY!! Watching a flashlight roll around on the ground is not scary. I don't know how someone watched this movie and thought that it was a winner. Don't buy it. Please. Just Don't. Trust Me.
