1	It doesn't get much worse than this.	Don't do it! Don't even think about it. The "freshness" wears off this CD in a matter of seconds. MIA's "new sound" comes across like a dying giraffe (on speed). There is a reason this thing is sold for under $6, because it is an absolute waste of your time to listen to it, and mine to even write about it! Please disappear into mediocrity, Ms. MIA, your 15 minutes are up. BTW, they made me give this album one star. When it doesn't even deserve that. Overrated. Over hyped. Over reviewed.	11	[ "Don't do it!", "Don't even think about it.", "The \"freshness\" wears off this CD in a matter of seconds.", "MIA's \"new sound\" comes across like a dying giraffe (on speed).", "There is a reason this thing is sold for under $6, because it is an absolute waste of your time to listen to it, and mine to even write about it!", "Please disappear into mediocrity, Ms.", "MIA, your 15 minutes are up.", "BTW, they made me give this album one star.", "When it doesn't even deserve that.", "Overrated.", "Over hyped.", "Over reviewed." ]
1	Buyer Be Aware	There are two different versions of this epic. One of them has 1212 minutes that is put out by ABC and the other has 1392 which is put out by Warner Brothers. I bought the epic that was 1212 minutes and was very disappointed. It was heavily edited to where it rendered the whole epic butchered. I watched the entire mini series in the 80's and love it. But, when I received the current version and started watching it I realized that a lot of the love scenes were missing. It had been heavily edited to where it didn't make much sense in places. It made the whole story line disjointed and you wound up having to guess what was going on between the actors. That is something I do not like doing. It ruined what was a terrific mini series for me. It was in my opinion a complete waste of money. I feel like I was sorely had by the company that put this travesty on the market.	12	[ "There are two different versions of this epic.", "One of them has 1212 minutes that is put out by ABC and the other has 1392 which is put out by Warner Brothers.", "I bought the epic that was 1212 minutes and was very disappointed.", "It was heavily edited to where it rendered the whole epic butchered.", "I watched the entire mini series in the 80's and love it.", "But, when I received the current version and started watching it I realized that a lot of the love scenes were missing.", "It had been heavily edited to where it didn't make much sense in places.", "It made the whole story line disjointed and you wound up having to guess what was going on between the actors.", "That is something I do not like doing.", "It ruined what was a terrific mini series for me.", "It was in my opinion a complete waste of money.", "I feel like I was sorely had by the company that put this travesty on the market." ]
2	Reveals the complexity of wants and needs	Not a typical no brainer movie. This movie presents complex people with complex motives. Topher Grace is effective as the successful executive who can impress top ranking executives, yet has an undeveloped personality in many ways. He is still trying to find out who he is and what he wants in life. This lack of maturity and goals costs him his wife. He focuses on his job even though he isn't passionate about the work. Quaid does not like his demotion, yet he tries to be fair to his new boss and doesn't try to sabatoge him. This is where the film differs from other, inferior movies. He is unhappy about his new status but tries to make the best of it. He even tries to help his new boss. The love story is played with honesty since Quaid's daughter is too young to commit hereself to anyone, yet she's attracted to her dad's new boss. Don't expect cheap laughs and simple answers.	12	[ "Not a typical no brainer movie.", "This movie presents complex people with complex motives.", "Topher Grace is effective as the successful executive who can impress top ranking executives, yet has an undeveloped personality in many ways.", "He is still trying to find out who he is and what he wants in life.", "This lack of maturity and goals costs him his wife.", "He focuses on his job even though he isn't passionate about the work.", "Quaid does not like his demotion, yet he tries to be fair to his new boss and doesn't try to sabatoge him.", "This is where the film differs from other, inferior movies.", "He is unhappy about his new status but tries to make the best of it.", "He even tries to help his new boss.", "The love story is played with honesty since Quaid's daughter is too young to commit hereself to anyone, yet she's attracted to her dad's new boss.", "Don't expect cheap laughs and simple answers." ]
1	OK GAME NOT VERY GOOD	This game is O.K. One of the good things is that it picks up right where KH1 left of, on the road after they caught up with Pluto. One of the bad things is that you have to use a card system that totaly sucks. Plus there are no new worlds except for Twilight Town. there might be on or two more but i can't remember. this game is totaly about sora's memory. all you ever do is go to the worlds that he remembers. The "Unknown" Organization is about the only new thing in the entire game. At the end of the game you have to fight this hard guy from the Organization. After you beat the Sora part of the game you get to play as Riku. But the only cool thing about that is you can jump higher. the only thing that you do is go backwards through the worlds that you went through with sora. King Mickey is in the Riku Version though. The only reason I would recommend this game is because I think it links KH1 and KH2 together.	14	[ "This game is O.K.

2	Bar None - The Best Way to Make Whole Leaf Tea	As someone who consumes 3-5 cups of whole leaf tea a day, I have tried numerous different types of strainers, infusers, tea sticks, disposable roll your own bags, etc. and none is as easy to use, as visually rewarding, and as consistent in performance than the Ingenuitea. Add your tea leaves, add your water, and when you are ready put it on your mug or cup and the release valve empties the tea quickly. Your leaves are then ready for their next infusion! Repeat as often as your tea can hold up. Clean up is relative easy because the lid wisely detaches allowing for a thorough rinse out. Another great advantage and entertainment option is not see your tea leaves hydrating and expanding. This visualize feedback also helps to tailor the dose of the leaves to your particular taste. This is the greatest tea maker, ever. Stop reading these reviews and just order it!!	11	[ "As someone who consumes 3-5 cups of whole leaf tea a day, I have tried numerous different types of strainers, infusers, tea sticks, disposable roll your own bags, etc.", "and none is as easy to use, as visually rewarding, and as consistent in performance than the Ingenuitea.", "Add your tea leaves, add your water, and when you are ready put it on your mug or cup and the release valve empties the tea quickly.", "Your leaves are then ready for their next infusion!", "Repeat as often as your tea can hold up.", "Clean up is relative easy because the lid wisely detaches allowing for a thorough rinse out.", "Another great advantage and entertainment option is not see your tea leaves hydrating and expanding.", "This visualize feedback also helps to tailor the dose of the leaves to your particular taste.", "This is the greatest tea maker, ever.", "Stop reading these reviews and just order it!!" ]
1	Overheated, nearly caught on fire!	I purchased the dehydrator 12 months ago. Used it about 10 times, mostly for drying peppers and herbs. Then I tried to dry some thyme at 90 degrees. I checked it after 30 minutes: the unit was hot to the touch & the top trays had melted! We moved the dehydrator outside and tried again. Worked fine for about an hour, than melted and warped the remaining trays. Took it to the dump last week. Meanwhile, we still use our Mr. Coffee dehydrator purchased almost 20 years ago. No fancy temperature controls, but it consistently works great.After our experience & seeing a couple of other reviews, I would advise anyone with this product to use it with care! It was hot enough to cause a fire. Very disappointing!	11	[ "I purchased the dehydrator 12 months ago.", "Used it about 10 times, mostly for drying peppers and herbs.", "Then I tried to dry some thyme at 90 degrees.", "I checked it after 30 minutes: the unit was hot to the touch & the top trays had melted!", "We moved the dehydrator outside and tried again.", "Worked fine for about an hour, than melted and warped the remaining trays.", "Took it to the dump last week.", "Meanwhile, we still use our Mr.", "Coffee dehydrator purchased almost 20 years ago.", "No fancy temperature controls, but it consistently works great.After our experience & seeing a couple of other reviews, I would advise anyone with this product to use it with care!", "It was hot enough to cause a fire.", "Very disappointing!" ]
2	Gamecube port of Nemesis	I do enjoy having the entire Resident Evil series available for gamecube. Also I liked the Mercenaries game in this one. It was interesting though. This was one scary game though because of the fact that nemesis would always come back to try to kill Jill. Also I loved the decision making in the game. Me not having played it on the PS one, I loved it. I just wanted to see Nemesis in action. Although I do feel that Capcom could've at least updated the graphics on the game. The same with the RE 2 port. Also if you've played it on the PS one, there's nothing new here. So I would just reccomend it if you didn't play it on the PS one or if you're interested on how it would've worked on the gamecube.	11	[ "I do enjoy having the entire Resident Evil series available for gamecube.", "Also I liked the Mercenaries game in this one.", "It was interesting though.", "This was one scary game though because of the fact that nemesis would always come back to try to kill Jill.", "Also I loved the decision making in the game.", "Me not having played it on the PS one, I loved it.", "I just wanted to see Nemesis in action.", "Although I do feel that Capcom could've at least updated the graphics on the game.", "The same with the RE 2 port.", "Also if you've played it on the PS one, there's nothing new here.", "So I would just reccomend it if you didn't play it on the PS one or if you're interested on how it would've worked on the gamecube." ]
2	A Curious but Pleasing Mix of Celtic and Fantasy Romance	(I received Elphame through the Amazon Vine program. Vine offers books and other items from publishers and manufacturers.)Elphame is a goddess with a problem. She's a mix of human and centaur in a blend that no one has ever seen before. Her subjects regard her with awe but leave her alone. Goddess she is, but lonely she is as well.And so it begins.Elphame must, as young people are required to do by nature, leave her family and strike out on her own to find her true identity and her place in the world. She must learn to appreciate others who, like herself, are a blending of very different cultures. She must learn to be a friend and to develop new relationships. All she does.This book is light reading and very good for a few minutes of reading before bedtime. It offers suspense and romance and, undoubtedly, will be loved by teen readers. I will suggest it for the teens I know as a good read.Four stars!	11	[ "(I received Elphame through the Amazon Vine program.", "Vine offers books and other items from publishers and manufacturers.)Elphame is a goddess with a problem.", "She's a mix of human and centaur in a blend that no one has ever seen before.", "Her subjects regard her with awe but leave her alone.", "Goddess she is, but lonely she is as well.And so it begins.Elphame must, as young people are required to do by nature, leave her family and strike out on her own to find her true identity and her place in the world.", "She must learn to appreciate others who, like herself, are a blending of very different cultures.", "She must learn to be a friend and to develop new relationships.", "All she does.This book is light reading and very good for a few minutes of reading before bedtime.", "It offers suspense and romance and, undoubtedly, will be loved by teen readers.", "I will suggest it for the teens I know as a good read.Four stars!" ]
2	A Forgotten Gem!	One of the compensations for missing an artist's work the first time around is discovering it later in life. Duncan Browne's stunningly gorgeous debut album is a perfect case in point. A reminder of a time when naive idealism & an almost pre-Raphaelite devotion to beauty was in vogue, this is one of most quietly stunning & moving albums I've ever heard ... only 35 years late! Previous reviewers will give you all the details you need to know. I can only agree with them & offer yet one more enthusiastic recommendation. These are songs of unashamed melancholy, longing, regret, desire, and transcendence, sung without a trace of irony or distance. Did people ever really feel this openly vulnerable? They did & still do, even if it's more frowned upon today. Do yourself a favor & immerse your soul in the dreamlike, haunting world of this album. You'll return again & again! Highest Recommendation!	11	[ "One of the compensations for missing an artist's work the first time around is discovering it later in life.", "Duncan Browne's stunningly gorgeous debut album is a perfect case in point.", "A reminder of a time when naive idealism & an almost pre-Raphaelite devotion to beauty was in vogue, this is one of most quietly stunning & moving albums I've ever heard ... only 35 years late!", "Previous reviewers will give you all the details you need to know.", "I can only agree with them & offer yet one more enthusiastic recommendation.", "These are songs of unashamed melancholy, longing, regret, desire, and transcendence, sung without a trace of irony or distance.", "Did people ever really feel this openly vulnerable?", "They did & still do, even if it's more frowned upon today.", "Do yourself a favor & immerse your soul in the dreamlike, haunting world of this album.", "You'll return again & again!", "Highest Recommendation!" ]
1	If a 10 part recipe, this was 9 parts research and......	......1 part writing. Crichton has been my favorite author ever since Andromeda. Sphere, Rising Sun, Disclosure - all brilliant. He started losing me with Lost World, which was Disney-kid fluff. In this one, his science extrapolation is excellent and classic Crichton. However, the writing was dreadful. "I did this, then I did that." Some authors use first person as a crutch; here it is a fully powered wheelchair. I lost track of how many times Jack tells us there is no way out and he'll be dead in seconds. And he tells us this so matter-of-factly that you expect Jerry Seinfeld to show up and say, "Ah, that's a shame." And what do writers do when they can't portray the intended angst? They use exclamation points; ug. The characters are painfully stock, and the dialogue is B-movie. The most dynamic relationship is clearly between Jack and Julia, but the lack of pre-crisis Julia character development made me not care about the denouement.	14	[ "......1 part writing.", "Crichton has been my favorite author ever since Andromeda.", "Sphere, Rising Sun, Disclosure - all brilliant.", "He started losing me with Lost World, which was Disney-kid fluff.", "In this one, his science extrapolation is excellent and classic Crichton.", "However, the writing was dreadful.", "\"I did this, then I did that.\" Some authors use first person as a crutch; here it is a fully powered wheelchair.", "I lost track of how many times Jack tells us there is no way out and he'll be dead in seconds.", "And he tells us this so matter-of-factly that you expect Jerry Seinfeld to show up and say, \"Ah, that's a shame.\" And what do writers do when they can't portray the intended angst?", "They use exclamation points; ug.", "The characters are painfully stock, and the dialogue is B-movie.", "The most dynamic relationship is clearly between Jack and Julia, but the lack of pre-crisis Julia character development made me not care about the denouement." ]
2	Waybacks are way forwards	A superb melange of acoustic music that's fresh and innovative with outstanding musicianship. It's music that makes you feel happy just listening to it. The Waybacks blend a number of musical styles with electrifying results that vary from fast 'n' frenetic to serene 'n' sensual. "Saltflat Rhapsody" is "silk for the ears." It's that smooth and soft. "Police Dog Blues" is funky-boppy with undertones of humor. The double mandolins on "Turkish Stalemate" are pure perfection. Their rendition of Floyd Cramer's "Last Date" is the best I've ever heard. Their lead singer emotes from every pore; he can make you feel the words down to your bones. Their first CD was remarkable in and of itself, but this one is truly amazing. In short, these guys are the standard by which future string bands will be judged!	11	[ "A superb melange of acoustic music that's fresh and innovative with outstanding musicianship.", "It's music that makes you feel happy just listening to it.", "The Waybacks blend a number of musical styles with electrifying results that vary from fast 'n' frenetic to serene 'n' sensual.", "\"Saltflat Rhapsody\" is \"silk for the ears.\" It's that smooth and soft.", "\"Police Dog Blues\" is funky-boppy with undertones of humor.", "The double mandolins on \"Turkish Stalemate\" are pure perfection.", "Their rendition of Floyd Cramer's \"Last Date\" is the best I've ever heard.", "Their lead singer emotes from every pore; he can make you feel the words down to your bones.", "Their first CD was remarkable in and of itself, but this one is truly amazing.", "In short, these guys are the standard by which future string bands will be judged!" ]
2	Dungeon seige 2 the good/the bad	The Good: If you loved the first you'll absolutely adore the second. I recomend going through the campaign with friends though. It would probably be boring doing just single player. Better graphics, great world, and a semi-interesting plot make for a great game. Even if you are new to the series I would get it if I were you. Great combo of the original game and more like Diablo II. <3. Awesome Boss fights too.The Bad: Some horrible bugs. If you aren't a hack and slash fan don't get it. It's basically like Diablo II except simpler and with repeating story lines for each town. Story is pretty much like any other fantasy, with only a slight twist here and there. If you like mmorgs go buy guild wars not this game.Even though there seems to be alot of bad to this game its never the less addictive till the end, where you still thirst for more. If you love all the rest of the games like this then get it! It'll fit VERY well on your gaming bookshelf!	14	[ "The Good: If you loved the first you'll absolutely adore the second.", "I recomend going through the campaign with friends though.", "It would probably be boring doing just single player.", "Better graphics, great world, and a semi-interesting plot make for a great game.", "Even if you are new to the series I would get it if I were you.", "Great combo of the original game and more like Diablo II.", "<3.", "Awesome Boss fights too.The Bad: Some horrible bugs.", "If you aren't a hack and slash fan don't get it.", "It's basically like Diablo II except simpler and with repeating story lines for each town.", "Story is pretty much like any other fantasy, with only a slight twist here and there.", "If you like mmorgs go buy guild wars not this game.Even though there seems to be alot of bad to this game its never the less addictive till the end, where you still thirst for more.", "If you love all the rest of the games like this then get it!", "It'll fit VERY well on your gaming bookshelf!" ]
2	Excellent Racing Wheel	I have been driving with this wheel for just over a month now and I could not be happier. I have used the wheel in Race 07, GTR Evolution, Rfactor, and NetKar Pro. The wheel performs flawlessly. You can find recommended wheel set up guidelines for all of these games on the web and within the forums. I have used this wheel more than 30 hours since I got it.The wheel came packaged well and was in excellent condition upon receipt. It took me about 45 minutes to get it up and in racing form. I could have been up faster but I chose to read the instructions after plugging it in... lol. Read the instructions, you'll be up and running quickly. This is my 4th wheel in about 8 years. I have had a red momo, a black momo, and now this wheel. Hands down, this is the best wheel you can get for the money. If you like to hot lap, or compete online this is a must have device!Pedal down!!	13	[ "I have been driving with this wheel for just over a month now and I could not be happier.", "I have used the wheel in Race 07, GTR Evolution, Rfactor, and NetKar Pro.", "The wheel performs flawlessly.", "You can find recommended wheel set up guidelines for all of these games on the web and within the forums.", "I have used this wheel more than 30 hours since I got it.The wheel came packaged well and was in excellent condition upon receipt.", "It took me about 45 minutes to get it up and in racing form.", "I could have been up faster but I chose to read the instructions after plugging it in... lol.", "Read the instructions, you'll be up and running quickly.", "This is my 4th wheel in about 8 years.", "I have had a red momo, a black momo, and now this wheel.", "Hands down, this is the best wheel you can get for the money.", "If you like to hot lap, or compete online this is a must have device!", "Pedal down!!" ]
1	What happened?	I love In Flames. I always will. But I draw the line with this album. Of all the bands out there, how did In Flames not get the letter that Nu Metal was dead? And what's with the Jon Davis whisper/cry/sing thing? Yuck. What happened to the dual guitar? The accoustic medelies? The lyrical journeys? The intense instrumentals? Please In Flames, trade in your leather pants with 500 zippers on them and Spineshank T shirts for a good ol' nostalgic trip through wastelands for eternity......you guys could even do yet another version of Behind Space and I'm sure it would make your fans happier than this.	11	[ "I love In Flames.", "I always will.", "But I draw the line with this album.", "Of all the bands out there, how did In Flames not get the letter that Nu Metal was dead?", "And what's with the Jon Davis whisper/cry/sing thing?", "Yuck.", "What happened to the dual guitar?", "The accoustic medelies?", "The lyrical journeys?", "The intense instrumentals?", "Please In Flames, trade in your leather pants with 500 zippers on them and Spineshank T shirts for a good ol' nostalgic trip through wastelands for eternity......you guys could even do yet another version of Behind Space and I'm sure it would make your fans happier than this." ]
2	Makita HR3851	The drill is okay. Ive been using a Dewalt spline for years and never had a problem with it. The Makita has locked up a couple of times during some jobs but still keeps going. I do termite treatments and drill 2 to 3 hundred 1/2" holes in a single day with the drill. Thats alot of drilling. I would recommend this drill, and also a Dewalt d25551k which has speed control and has never locked up. The dewalt doesnt look as heavy but it packs a punch. Not that Im a big Dewalt fan but thats my opinion. Oh yeah. When my Makita came in from amazon it had no permanent Makita emblem in the plastic as if it was generic but did have a Model and Serial number so im sure its not generic just made to sell at a discount. I would buy another Makita HR3851 for what i do.	11	[ "The drill is okay.", "Ive been using a Dewalt spline for years and never had a problem with it.", "The Makita has locked up a couple of times during some jobs but still keeps going.", "I do termite treatments and drill 2 to 3 hundred 1/2\" holes in a single day with the drill.", "Thats alot of drilling.", "I would recommend this drill, and also a Dewalt d25551k which has speed control and has never locked up.", "The dewalt doesnt look as heavy but it packs a punch.", "Not that Im a big Dewalt fan but thats my opinion.", "Oh yeah.", "When my Makita came in from amazon it had no permanent Makita emblem in the plastic as if it was generic but did have a Model and Serial number so im sure its not generic just made to sell at a discount.", "I would buy another Makita HR3851 for what i do." ]
1	Beating a dead horse?	Let's look at the positives. Really nicely designed napkin holder which holds a good handful of napkins and allows you to remove just the amount you want without the whole lot coming out. The brushed steel finishes off the look.Okay - the negative and there's only one. And that's the brand maker's label stuck to one side. Nothing will remove that glue and I've tried several of the suggestions here. I even started off by heating it with a heat gun but it still left an ugly rectangular blob of gunk. It ruins the item canceling out any positives. I have no idea why the manufacturers are still selling this defective item.Rather than go through the return process I intend to wet-sand down the brushed nickel with increasing grades of glass paper. I'll post an update in the comments and also a couple of before/after pictures when I'm done. What a waste of time though. 1 Star.	11	[ "Let's look at the positives.", "Really nicely designed napkin holder which holds a good handful of napkins and allows you to remove just the amount you want without the whole lot coming out.", "The brushed steel finishes off the look.Okay - the negative and there's only one.", "And that's the brand maker's label stuck to one side.", "Nothing will remove that glue and I've tried several of the suggestions here.", "I even started off by heating it with a heat gun but it still left an ugly rectangular blob of gunk.", "It ruins the item canceling out any positives.", "I have no idea why the manufacturers are still selling this defective item.Rather than go through the return process I intend to wet-sand down the brushed nickel with increasing grades of glass paper.", "I'll post an update in the comments and also a couple of before/after pictures when I'm done.", "What a waste of time though.", "1 Star." ]
1	Waste of money!!!	Bought this camera on Amazon to take on an Alaskan cruise where we were going to do some white water rafting. Obviously did not want to take the Nikon! I removed the roll of film that was preloaded as many reviews talked about poor quality of enclosed film. Loaded a fresh roll of Fuji 800. Followed instructions on loading exactly. You have to move all of the film from the canister to the camera and as you shoot, it draws it back into canister. Loaded film, closed back. Started to crank the film into the camera, and the crank BROKE OFF! Tried to roll the film into the camera with a pen point used as a crank. Didn't work. Threw the entire camera away! Never got 1 picture. A total waste of $16! Don't waste your money!	14	[ "Bought this camera on Amazon to take on an Alaskan cruise where we were going to do some white water rafting.", "Obviously did not want to take the Nikon!", "I removed the roll of film that was preloaded as many reviews talked about poor quality of enclosed film.", "Loaded a fresh roll of Fuji 800.", "Followed instructions on loading exactly.", "You have to move all of the film from the canister to the camera and as you shoot, it draws it back into canister.", "Loaded film, closed back.", "Started to crank the film into the camera, and the crank BROKE OFF!", "Tried to roll the film into the camera with a pen point used as a crank.", "Didn't work.", "Threw the entire camera away!", "Never got 1 picture.", "A total waste of $16!", "Don't waste your money!" ]
2	Finally an excellent monitor!!!	I was so sick of monitors with all the static. I also used to be forced to deal with a monitor that was so noisy & couldn't sleep with it turned up, but when I turned it down I was afraid I wouldn't hear my baby. (I am a deep sleeper.) With this monitor I don't have to turn the volume down when I am trying to watch tv or sleeping...there simply is no static! The background noise filter works great since my baby's room is facing the parking lot. I don't understand why some people have had such bad experiences with this monitor. My reciever beeps ocasonally like it is out of range & all I do is turn it a little or change the channel if it persists. I live in an apartment building so we had to play around with the channels. At first I could pick up my neighbor's conversations. Now all is fine. To me, this is the best monitor on the market. Not too expensive & great quality. Water resistant too! Great value & excellent brand name!	14	[ "I was so sick of monitors with all the static.", "I also used to be forced to deal with a monitor that was so noisy & couldn't sleep with it turned up, but when I turned it down I was afraid I wouldn't hear my baby.", "(I am a deep sleeper.)

1	I hate to break it to you...	This show could've been cool if they would've stayed closer to the true World of Darkness atmosphere. Vampire: the Masquerade (which is what this is based off, and it's not just ONE novel by ReinHagen) is one of the darkest, most well thought out worlds on paper. FOX destroyed it! They basically said: Lets make Melrose Place, but with fangs! We'll offer Mark ReinHagan a lot of money to sign off on it and it will be really cool! Well, it wasn't. It could've been the next X-Files if they really would've done their homework. But...they didn't. So now we have another cheesy, half baked show about Vampires. I'm glad they cancelled it. Maybe they realized that they were ruining something really good.	11	[ "This show could've been cool if they would've stayed closer to the true World of Darkness atmosphere.", "Vampire: the Masquerade (which is what this is based off, and it's not just ONE novel by ReinHagen) is one of the darkest, most well thought out worlds on paper.", "FOX destroyed it!", "They basically said: Lets make Melrose Place, but with fangs!", "We'll offer Mark ReinHagan a lot of money to sign off on it and it will be really cool!", "Well, it wasn't.", "It could've been the next X-Files if they really would've done their homework.", "But...they didn't.", "So now we have another cheesy, half baked show about Vampires.", "I'm glad they cancelled it.", "Maybe they realized that they were ruining something really good." ]
1	What a joke!!!	I'm a Patterson fan but was thoroughly disappointed with this book. Who is the Wolf? Who is the FBI mole? Who is Marvel? Was the sniper after Alex? How did Alex know the Wolf was shooting at Lipton? There were so many things unexplained that I felt like I wasted hours in reading this book.

2	HILARIOUS	Ghoti Hooks "Banan Man"This album has some great stuff. Many of the songs (like "The Box") make no sence. But that's whats so funny about it. Sometimes you need something to laugh at. This album is it. "Christian Got Mauled at the Zoo" is a song about there bass player getting attacked at the zoo. Great stuff. "Monsters" starts out slow but as it progresses heavy distortion and great vocals take it away. This is heavy stuff. "Banana Man" formerly known as Combat Chuck (Five Iron Frenzy) is a great album for you if your a punk with some extra cash on you. Enjoy!	11	[ "Ghoti Hooks \"Banan Man\"This album has some great stuff.", "Many of the songs (like \"The Box\") make no sence.", "But that's whats so funny about it.", "Sometimes you need something to laugh at.", "This album is it.", "\"Christian Got Mauled at the Zoo\" is a song about there bass player getting attacked at the zoo.", "Great stuff.", "\"Monsters\" starts out slow but as it progresses heavy distortion and great vocals take it away.", "This is heavy stuff.", "\"Banana Man\" formerly known as Combat Chuck (Five Iron Frenzy) is a great album for you if your a punk with some extra cash on you.", "Enjoy!" ]
2	Grim and Beautiful	I first heard Dick Gaughan in an upper room in a tiny North London pub in 1985. It was hot and dark in that little room, packed full of a hushed crowd. All those people were in on a secret: Dick Gaughan. I've never forgotten the spare beauty of that night. Worker's songs, like colliary bands, are an acquired taste for Americans. I can't think of a better introduction not only to traditional agit-prop music, but to the astonishing beauty of the celtic music sensibility than Dick Gaughan, and this album in particular. He can do things with a guitar that stretch the instrument immensely. In his hands, it's a fiddle, sometimes a pipe, but always sparklingly clear. His voice is stern and honest. This is beautiful work, his Now Westlin Winds and Workers Song in particular. A good introduction to the often difficult celtic ear.	11	[ "I first heard Dick Gaughan in an upper room in a tiny North London pub in 1985.", "It was hot and dark in that little room, packed full of a hushed crowd.", "All those people were in on a secret: Dick Gaughan.", "I've never forgotten the spare beauty of that night.", "Worker's songs, like colliary bands, are an acquired taste for Americans.", "I can't think of a better introduction not only to traditional agit-prop music, but to the astonishing beauty of the celtic music sensibility than Dick Gaughan, and this album in particular.", "He can do things with a guitar that stretch the instrument immensely.", "In his hands, it's a fiddle, sometimes a pipe, but always sparklingly clear.", "His voice is stern and honest.", "This is beautiful work, his Now Westlin Winds and Workers Song in particular.", "A good introduction to the often difficult celtic ear." ]
2	Kids give these out at school	I am a youth counselor. The kids in my youth group have funded and given away over 70 copies of this book at their public high school. Inside each book they have glued a little note that tells the reader to sign their name in the book and pass it on to a friend when they have finished. This way the message of Cassie's story lives on and on. We got the idea from a mother/daughter team in Ohio who are doing the same thing. Similar things are happening all over there are 500,000 copies in circulation now! It is a great book and it is changing lives. People who have been moved by it should spread the word to others. That's how we can do our part. April 20 is the anniversary of the tragedy. It would be great if thousands of lives could be touched on that day with a gift of this book.	11	[ "I am a youth counselor.", "The kids in my youth group have funded and given away over 70 copies of this book at their public high school.", "Inside each book they have glued a little note that tells the reader to sign their name in the book and pass it on to a friend when they have finished.", "This way the message of Cassie's story lives on and on.", "We got the idea from a mother/daughter team in Ohio who are doing the same thing.", "Similar things are happening all over there are 500,000 copies in circulation now!", "It is a great book and it is changing lives.", "People who have been moved by it should spread the word to others.", "That's how we can do our part.", "April 20 is the anniversary of the tragedy.", "It would be great if thousands of lives could be touched on that day with a gift of this book." ]
1	this book was disgusting	i don't know what happened to these books, but they are a waste of money. lately they all have the same boring and pathetic theme. firstly, usually image, is the most perfect, fastest horse in the world. then some minor incident happens and melanie cries, thinking it is impossible to train the horse and gives up. then her perfect cousin christina tells her not to give up so melanie tries again. the characters are pathetic, winey brats. when mel's dad buys image, she expects it to be a gift to her. that is completely unrealistic. he did the best he could and mel blew him off. i disliked this book very much. you are no longer in touch w/ the characters or even the horses. personally, i don't even care if image or star ever races again. the horses and people have no characteristics that make them likable, unless you like spoiled brats like mel and christina. the authors need to develop the characters and horses better if they want to keep selling books.	14	[ "i don't know what happened to these books, but they are a waste of money.", "lately they all have the same boring and pathetic theme.", "firstly, usually image, is the most perfect, fastest horse in the world.", "then some minor incident happens and melanie cries, thinking it is impossible to train the horse and gives up.", "then her perfect cousin christina tells her not to give up so melanie tries again.", "the characters are pathetic, winey brats.", "when mel's dad buys image, she expects it to be a gift to her.", "that is completely unrealistic.", "he did the best he could and mel blew him off.", "i disliked this book very much.", "you are no longer in touch w/ the characters or even the horses.", "personally, i don't even care if image or star ever races again.", "the horses and people have no characteristics that make them likable, unless you like spoiled brats like mel and christina.", "the authors need to develop the characters and horses better if they want to keep selling books." ]
2	Excellent even for women with foot problems!	These are so much better than I ever imagined!I have plantar fasciitis. No sandals I have found were ever comfortable. I usually wear wool socks for the extra heel padding and shoe inserts. But I wanted a summer sandal for the beach. I also have an injury to my big toe and am always embarrased by flip flop type shoes which also kill my heels. Well Bali is amazing! It covers the top of 3-4 toes to protect against scrapes and bumps. I tried walking on the sidewalk scraping where my big toe would normally be but the toe bumper took all the impact. I also wear these into the shower at the gym and wear them around the house as slippers. They are just so comfortable! If I didn't live in new england I would wear these outside in the winter lol. They are not like regular sandals they have cushioning and are so comfy. They also dry super fast!I wanted surf spray/trooper but couldn't get them in my size so I got the purple ones.Best sandals EVER!	13	[ "These are so much better than I ever imagined!", "I have plantar fasciitis.", "No sandals I have found were ever comfortable.", "I usually wear wool socks for the extra heel padding and shoe inserts.", "But I wanted a summer sandal for the beach.", "I also have an injury to my big toe and am always embarrased by flip flop type shoes which also kill my heels.", "Well Bali is amazing!", "It covers the top of 3-4 toes to protect against scrapes and bumps.", "I tried walking on the sidewalk scraping where my big toe would normally be but the toe bumper took all the impact.", "I also wear these into the shower at the gym and wear them around the house as slippers.", "They are just so comfortable!", "If I didn't live in new england I would wear these outside in the winter lol.", "They are not like regular sandals they have cushioning and are so comfy.", "They also dry super fast!", "I wanted surf spray/trooper but couldn't get them in my size so I got the purple ones.Best sandals EVER!" ]
2	The King has spoken	As a Constant Reader since I sat on my Daddy's lap looking through various King titles, I was beguiled by Wizard and Glass as a continuation of my King obessesion. Some readers complain that it was needlessly long and boring, but I say, that if you read King, you know that the Dark Tower series will be ten or twelve volumes (at least) in the making. Why complain? Yes, volume four took five long years; yes, Eddie, Susannah, and Jake were almost non-existant. But what about the superb flashback to the real Roland? Is'nt he what it's all about? Wouldn't you love to know a little more about his sufferings and loves? I was heartbroken by this book, and I am reluctantly waiting what could probably be another five years. However, I consider the fact that I have been collecting data on Roland's quest through The Eyes of the Dragon, The Stand, Insomnia, and Dark Towers 1-3. If this is a life-long commitment, then wish King luck, and prepare to be amazed. Much love Constant Readers.	11	[ "As a Constant Reader since I sat on my Daddy's lap looking through various King titles, I was beguiled by Wizard and Glass as a continuation of my King obessesion.", "Some readers complain that it was needlessly long and boring, but I say, that if you read King, you know that the Dark Tower series will be ten or twelve volumes (at least) in the making.", "Why complain?", "Yes, volume four took five long years; yes, Eddie, Susannah, and Jake were almost non-existant.", "But what about the superb flashback to the real Roland?", "Is'nt he what it's all about?", "Wouldn't you love to know a little more about his sufferings and loves?", "I was heartbroken by this book, and I am reluctantly waiting what could probably be another five years.", "However, I consider the fact that I have been collecting data on Roland's quest through The Eyes of the Dragon, The Stand, Insomnia, and Dark Towers 1-3.", "If this is a life-long commitment, then wish King luck, and prepare to be amazed.", "Much love Constant Readers." ]
1	Rather Bad Kid's Film	I do not recommend this kids animated film to anybody. There are some cute movies out there better than this one. This one is just atrocious! The first one had decent graphics and kind of cool concept. Happy Feet Two is absolutely the same, but actually worse. The songs they picked are horrible. CGI is worse. Worst of all they continue with the racist depictions of the penguins! They have these smaller sized penguins who speak with Hispanic/Mexican accents, and, SURPRISE, all they care about is females. How much more racist can this get!?Avoid at all cost, don't waste your money.	11	[ "I do not recommend this kids animated film to anybody.", "There are some cute movies out there better than this one.", "This one is just atrocious!", "The first one had decent graphics and kind of cool concept.", "Happy Feet Two is absolutely the same, but actually worse.", "The songs they picked are horrible.", "CGI is worse.", "Worst of all they continue with the racist depictions of the penguins!", "They have these smaller sized penguins who speak with Hispanic/Mexican accents, and, SURPRISE, all they care about is females.", "How much more racist can this get!?", "Avoid at all cost, don't waste your money." ]
2	A Must Have for Shooter fans	I bought this game back in January of '07 and when I got it I couldn't put it down. This game is an amazing action game from start to finish. It really does deserve all the praise it got and should be considered one of the best games for the Xbox 360 of 2006. The campaign is a very fun and exciting, and not to mention at times just plain intense. Sure, the game has amazing graphics, but what really shines about Gears is the gameplay, it's just plain fun to go around and shoot up the Locust hoard. The Multiplayer is extremely fun and engaging, and I play it still today almost a year later. If I had any complaint, it would that the story wasn't that deep, but it isn't that big of a deal when you've got your hands full shooting up aliens and taking your friends online. All in all Gears of War is great fun. My recommendation, go buy this game. It's on my FAV games list and I hope you enjoy this really fun game.

2	Great	Love it. Fred's Rock Style kicks. Fred can't rap. The only reason for bad ratings is because lots of people hate Limp Bizkit and won't give them a chance. I used to hate Limp Bizkit untill Crack Addict came out. Wrestlmania 19 theme song. It was huge. Thats when I started to like Limp Bizkit. Whats so bad about them? I don't get why people hate them and don't give them a chance. And with all those bad ratings there probily Limp Bizkit haters. Well Limp Bizkit and Linkin Park are my Favorite bands.

1	Abandon your Fans!....... the true title	Ok, to say that i was expecting another TBYB is crazy. I had little expectation, and even that is an overstatment, for this album, and it failed to even satisfy that. The album starts off pretty good with "where do you draw the line." A song that combines the agressiveness and melodic aspects that FATA has been trying to pull off. But then the very next song is a emo/pop rock song. Then it jumps into a hard metalcore song. I mean if you only listen to odd # songs the CD isnt bad. But through out the entire disc, it jumps back and forth everyother song. I mean i feel like i'm listing to CDs here. I mean the emo crap is just about as bad as Eighteen Visions "Obessesion". For a bad that put out a amazing album in TBYB, and a pretty good album TFWL. They threw everything away and completly lost there minds. And i think i know why they called the album "Abandon your Friends" becuase thats what theyve done to us, and this CD is going into the local used bin.	13	[ "Ok, to say that i was expecting another TBYB is crazy.", "I had little expectation, and even that is an overstatment, for this album, and it failed to even satisfy that.", "The album starts off pretty good with \"where do you draw the line.\" A song that combines the agressiveness and melodic aspects that FATA has been trying to pull off.", "But then the very next song is a emo/pop rock song.", "Then it jumps into a hard metalcore song.", "I mean if you only listen to odd # songs the CD isnt bad.", "But through out the entire disc, it jumps back and forth everyother song.", "I mean i feel like i'm listing to CDs here.", "I mean the emo crap is just about as bad as Eighteen Visions \"Obessesion\".", "For a bad that put out a amazing album in TBYB, and a pretty good album TFWL.", "They threw everything away and completly lost there minds.", "And i think i know why they called the album \"Abandon your Friends\" becuase thats what theyve done to us, and this CD is going into the local used bin." ]
1	Worst season by far...	it is amazing to me that people loved this season. i've been a fan of Mad Men since day one, and Season 5 isn't good. and not just bad by Mad Men standards. kind of similar to a good band making a bad record. so many bad episodes and storylines: Don's hallucination that he kills one of the many women he's bedded. Pete's Metro-North affair. Harry having sex in his office with some Hari-Krishna woman. Joan prosituting herself for Jaguar (and everyone except Don, who's not a good guy either, going along with it)."Bravo!" exclaims Cooper when they get the business. give me a break. Roger becoming an LSD freak. yea, right. i could go on and on...not sure whether Matthew Weiner lost his touch, is too full of himself at this point or what. but Season 5 of Mad Men just isn't very good. remains to be seen if the show can recover...	15	[ "it is amazing to me that people loved this season.", "i've been a fan of Mad Men since day one, and Season 5 isn't good.", "and not just bad by Mad Men standards.", "kind of similar to a good band making a bad record.", "so many bad episodes and storylines: Don's hallucination that he kills one of the many women he's bedded.", "Pete's Metro-North affair.", "Harry having sex in his office with some Hari-Krishna woman.", "Joan prosituting herself for Jaguar (and everyone except Don, who's not a good guy either, going along with it).\"Bravo!", "\" exclaims Cooper when they get the business.", "give me a break.", "Roger becoming an LSD freak.", "yea, right.", "i could go on and on...not sure whether Matthew Weiner lost his touch, is too full of himself at this point or what.", "but Season 5 of Mad Men just isn't very good.", "remains to be seen if the show can recover..." ]
2	It Made my day.	I saw Chris Sligh on American Idol and I immediately became a fan. When I heard he had an album dropping with his band, Half Past Forever, I knew I wanted to check it out. Well, the album did NOT disappoint!! Chris has amazing song writing abilities, not to mention vocal genius. Adam and Cole are fantastic musicians! The band operates as a single unit allowing an incredible sound to blast through the speakers. Each song on this album has a different flare, but it all falls under the same category of good rock. The lyrics are meaningful and the music is catchy. I find myself singing "Know" all the time, and it's not like one of those bad songs you get stuck in your head and ruins your day...It actually made my day to find myself singing the pleasing song!!Overall, "Take a Chance on Something Beautiful" gets 5 stars and hopefully we'll see these guys make it big! They deserve it!	11	[ "I saw Chris Sligh on American Idol and I immediately became a fan.", "When I heard he had an album dropping with his band, Half Past Forever, I knew I wanted to check it out.", "Well, the album did NOT disappoint!!", "Chris has amazing song writing abilities, not to mention vocal genius.", "Adam and Cole are fantastic musicians!", "The band operates as a single unit allowing an incredible sound to blast through the speakers.", "Each song on this album has a different flare, but it all falls under the same category of good rock.", "The lyrics are meaningful and the music is catchy.", "I find myself singing \"Know\" all the time, and it's not like one of those bad songs you get stuck in your head and ruins your day...It actually made my day to find myself singing the pleasing song!!", "Overall, \"Take a Chance on Something Beautiful\" gets 5 stars and hopefully we'll see these guys make it big!", "They deserve it!" ]
1	Utter Disappointment	Fritz breaks the most elementary rules of scholarly writing by quoting the same references several times in a row. It wouldn't be so bad, if he wasn't quoting the fictional FORGOTTEN SOLDIER. Fritz adds nothing new to the discussion of German soldiers in WW II. SOLDAT is an excellent book, as other reviewers have mentioned. FRONTSOLDATEN is simply a collection of quotes from dubious sources - and all secondary ones at that. Fritz does not appear to have conducted a single interview on his own. How then can he claim to have any kind of grasp on the material? Anyone who describes this book as "scholarly" doesn't know the first thing about historical research. Fritz didn't research this book - he cribbed it. Spend your money elsewhere. For the English speaking world, we still have to wait for a definitive book on the Landser. ...	12	[ "Fritz breaks the most elementary rules of scholarly writing by quoting the same references several times in a row.", "It wouldn't be so bad, if he wasn't quoting the fictional FORGOTTEN SOLDIER.", "Fritz adds nothing new to the discussion of German soldiers in WW II.", "SOLDAT is an excellent book, as other reviewers have mentioned.", "FRONTSOLDATEN is simply a collection of quotes from dubious sources - and all secondary ones at that.", "Fritz does not appear to have conducted a single interview on his own.", "How then can he claim to have any kind of grasp on the material?", "Anyone who describes this book as \"scholarly\" doesn't know the first thing about historical research.", "Fritz didn't research this book - he cribbed it.", "Spend your money elsewhere.", "For the English speaking world, we still have to wait for a definitive book on the Landser.", "..." ]
1	She goes pop !!!	This punk album is fair. She screams a lot, so I didn't give her 4 stars. I think it's missing some guitar solos. Excuse me ! But here are even TWO guitarists, and they don't really know how to play guitar !!! If the guitarists would play any guitar solos, this would be perfect. And what I also don't like, are the drums. Here are some techno drums. And this isn't really punk rock. She goes pop in this album. And here is only one punky song. It's SK8ER BOI. I can't hear here a lot of bass. It's missing some bass.

1	Witch Hunt	All in all, the book was all right for fiction. The fact that Ms. Sparks is trying to pass this off as fact is shameful. Maybe I would respect it more if she put a disclaimer in the front--that real Witches respect all life and don't do anything stupid like blood sacrifices. This author is just cashing in on all the propaganda. The Occult isn't evil by nature. "Occult" just means hidden. The fact that this woman is making money off of some poor boy, real or imagined, that took his own life is just plain sad. And the fact that kids are reading this and being brainwashed is worse. I'm not a Satanist and don't know many, but I do know that most don't call themselves Witches, and none do the crazy things the kids do in this book. I do know many Witches (Wiccans) and they are NOTHING like the kids in this book. If this story is at ALL true, the poor boy was just crazy.

Just goes to show, don't buy on-line and don't buy from a brand you've never heard from. Two days and 1 1/2 hours on the phone, and I have to ask a firm who didn't sell me the unit to please fix it. And, they'll say "why didn't you buy it here?" Good question. Amazon and more specifiaclly,"Sonicblue, AKA Govideo" don't have my endorsement. Buy a name brand from a store you can trust.

1	It could have been a contender	Since purchase, it can hardly handle two WANs of different speeds. No direct physical port to WAN and QOS is a joke. SO I had to leave the VoIP before this device. I have DSL and Cable services since both go down randomly all the time. This device should have been able to deal with it. But the CPU gets hung often in a health check failure. If you don't have a health check, it doesn't know the service is dead and will continue to push towards a dead WAN. The only thing I use this for is a easy way to manually switch what service is primary. And even that requires a re-boot. It's like the O/S was written by Microsoft. Support - What support. You bought it, your stuck with it.	12	[ "Since purchase, it can hardly handle two WANs of different speeds.", "No direct physical port to WAN and QOS is a joke.", "SO I had to leave the VoIP before this device.", "I have DSL and Cable services since both go down randomly all the time.", "This device should have been able to deal with it.", "But the CPU gets hung often in a health check failure.", "If you don't have a health check, it doesn't know the service is dead and will continue to push towards a dead WAN.", "The only thing I use this for is a easy way to manually switch what service is primary.", "And even that requires a re-boot.", "It's like the O/S was written by Microsoft.", "Support - What support.", "You bought it, your stuck with it." ]
1	Disappointment	Twenty-three year old Andrea Sachs dreams of writing for The New Yorker. Fresh out of college, she lands a job in Manhattan as assistant to the powerful Miranda Priestly, editor of the successful fashion magazine Runway. Although her writing abilities won't be utilized, all Andrea hears from everyone she meets is that she's landed the job "a million girls would die for." Supposedly, "people who worked for Miranda got places." The position is more of a college-educated messenger. But if Andrea can hang in there for 1 year, she's sure to get a great promotion. However, 1 year as Miranda's personal gopher won't be that easy. Miranda's like Cruella DeVil from Disney's Dalmatian movies. She's insensitive, demanding and just "cruel."This had the makings of a hilarious book, but just failed to pull it off. Better luck next time.	11	[ "Twenty-three year old Andrea Sachs dreams of writing for The New Yorker.", "Fresh out of college, she lands a job in Manhattan as assistant to the powerful Miranda Priestly, editor of the successful fashion magazine Runway.", "Although her writing abilities won't be utilized, all Andrea hears from everyone she meets is that she's landed the job \"a million girls would die for.\" Supposedly, \"people who worked for Miranda got places.\" The position is more of a college-educated messenger.", "But if Andrea can hang in there for 1 year, she's sure to get a great promotion.", "However, 1 year as Miranda's personal gopher won't be that easy.", "Miranda's like Cruella DeVil from Disney's Dalmatian movies.", "She's insensitive, demanding and just \"cruel.\"This had the makings of a hilarious book, but just failed to pull it off.", "Better luck next time." ]
1	Why?	First before I go off on this movie the acting was quite excellent. 2 questions to ask yourself before buying this. Will there be a plot? Is an ending a good thing to have? Answer number one: This movie had no plot jumping from one thing to the next for no reason. The comic books in the movie have more plot. The only thing that made this movie go along was that the train had a schedule. Please have a sequel to end this movie since there isn't one now. A final question is do we need teenaged nimphomaniacs. NO. My god I might have rated this movie a 3 if it weren't for that. If you don't think those were good answers to those questions well put in the context of a movie and you have Ice Storm	12	[ "First before I go off on this movie the acting was quite excellent.", "2 questions to ask yourself before buying this.", "Will there be a plot?", "Is an ending a good thing to have?", "Answer number one: This movie had no plot jumping from one thing to the next for no reason.", "The comic books in the movie have more plot.", "The only thing that made this movie go along was that the train had a schedule.", "Please have a sequel to end this movie since there isn't one now.", "A final question is do we need teenaged nimphomaniacs.", "NO.", "My god I might have rated this movie a 3 if it weren't for that.", "If you don't think those were good answers to those questions well put in the context of a movie and you have Ice Storm" ]
1	Totally wrong	Okay, you're asking me, "why did you give a Crow movie a 1?"well, all I can say about it is that it [stunk]. There was one fighting scene, and that really didn't live up to all the "fighting for justice" thing that The Crow set for the rest of them. and the follow up, trying to stay in the spotlight of the first was tacky. It was alright, but it really didn't follow the realness of The Crow. I didn't really take to Ash anyway. I could more relate to Eric.There was also the fact of there was a bit too much information when it came to the clubs. And they really didn't have to add some of the things at the end. I didn't like it. [sorry for the spoilers there...]It's not just because I am a major Brandon Lee fan, and I know no one can beat an original, but I know that Vincent Perez was almost there in the whole thing about walking in his shadow and succeeding, but he wasn't quite there.*Shrugs~ so maybe you have a different opinion, but this is mine.	11	[ "Okay, you're asking me, \"why did you give a Crow movie a 1?", "\"well, all I can say about it is that it [stunk].", "There was one fighting scene, and that really didn't live up to all the \"fighting for justice\" thing that The Crow set for the rest of them.", "and the follow up, trying to stay in the spotlight of the first was tacky.", "It was alright, but it really didn't follow the realness of The Crow.", "I didn't really take to Ash anyway.", "I could more relate to Eric.There was also the fact of there was a bit too much information when it came to the clubs.", "And they really didn't have to add some of the things at the end.", "I didn't like it.", "[sorry for the spoilers there...]It's not just because I am a major Brandon Lee fan, and I know no one can beat an original, but I know that Vincent Perez was almost there in the whole thing about walking in his shadow and succeeding, but he wasn't quite there.*Shrugs~ so maybe you have a different opinion, but this is mine." ]
