PROPER CREATION OF DOORMATS
|
I will admit some guys do think like this because my Dad gave me this as a present. I reread it everytime I even think of remarrying. If that's marriage I dont want it!The summary is this: shut, up dress nice and clean your house. Dont talk about your problems or your day. All the guy has to do is go to work and then prop in front of the tv. He also hangs out with his friends and leaves you home. You do all the work in the marriage and in the home. No talking. The end. I wish guys did this before you marry them because no woman would marry them!Picture it: Dating like a husband: He shows up at your door and pays your bills or gives you cash then leaves you so he can have real fun with his friends. While he is out you can go to his house and clean it up. And dont talk to him or expect any romance! IT's a DATE!Oh, I love that guy! **sarcasm**

A Book In Full (of greatness!!)
|
Why, Tom Wolfe, why? Why did you have to end this book at 700 pages? This could've gone on another 1,500 pages without complaint from me. I loved it and think all readers will love it as well. Mr. Wolfe, your writing abilities are without peer. You are the best. You are the Babe Ruth of writing (hee hee). Please write a sequel to this one, because A Man In Full is simply a great book. I like Charlie Croker. I like Peepgas. I like Roger Too White. What's not to like? Read it everyone.

A QUICK READ
|
I guess I should have read THE HORSE SOLDIER before THE COLONEL'S DAUGHTER but this story can stand on its own. My first Merline Lovelace book, and it was an enjoyable experience. I read this book in one day. Somewhat of a western-lite, but gritty enough to earn 4 stars from me. The heroine and hero actually get dirty in this one! A spunky heroine and a tough as nails hero. . .you know the formula. You either like 'em or you don't. I do. Good character development and ML makes you actually see the west with her descriptions. Maybe not a keeper but worth your time.

Typical Liberal Response
|
Isn't it interesting how liberals immediately become defensive when someone decides to expose them for what they are...Anti-Americans. Yeah, I said it. Just like you call us "right-wingers" and the "Christian Right." It's not enough that Conservatives have to be bombarded on a daily basis with slanderous attacks and liberal rhetoric from 99% of our media outlets. It's time we stopped taking it on the chin and fight back. I applaude Sean Hannity for his courage to uncover the (blantant and obvious) double standard that exists in this country. He's a great American. Oh, and he's #1 on the NY Times list! Ouch, did you feel that shot? Believe me, it will keep getting worse. Why don't you liberals just throw in the towl and save yourselves the unnecessary beating. You can't win. The truth will always prevail.

Beyond Bad
|
They wouldn't let me give a review of 0 so a gave it one star. The film is broken up into five sections, for five different time periods, but none of them have any substance to them. There is a reason that this film was smashed pretty hard when it was released. I'll watch pretty much anything, but this remains the only movie that I've ever walked out of. I later watched it again with a friend to prove that Williams really did a film this bad, and it was worse the second time around. There is no reaseon to see this film. If you looking for a good Williams picture, get "dead poets. . " or "Good Will. . ." or even "What dreams[the book is better though]." This film is terrible, but not bad enough to justify being watched to mock, such as "attack of the killer..." or "THe Starfighters." There really is no reason to see this film.

A Must Read!
|
A Man Like Richard is a very thought provoking and entertaining read. At first, I didn't agree with Basic's and Richard's relationship because it was really borderline platonic. I almost felt sorry for Maxine. That all started to change later. My emotions were on a rollercoaster! And I felt as though I was right there with the characters. Anytime a book can move me like that it must be good! I loved Troy's no-nonsense yet crazy parents. I also like the kid's and teenager's role in the story. Erroline really did it with this one! I'm amazed that this is her debut novel.Stormy Steeleauthor of "Behind The Screen"

Not Good
|
So disappointed. What a huge let down. Yes, it looks good, but that's about it. I didn't know you had to take the watch off to get an acurate temperature reading. How bizzare. Timex only mentions that in the fine print? When it's on your wrist, the temperature is about 15-25 degrees above actual. Additionall, the Chrono does not store intervals (no memory). So, while your out jogging, take a big chief tablet and a yellow #2 with you so you can write down your mileage times. I've always loved my Ironman's, but this time I wanted to try something new. What a mistake. Should have stuck with the original. Big disappointment, even if it didn't cost that much.

Ashley Floral Marathon Convertible Car Seat
|
I absolutely love this car seat!! It is great. My daughter sits up high and has lots of room. The seat cover is very soft. The covers on the seat belt protect her neck from getting rubbed. The car seat is eay to install and very easy to put hook her in and out of it. It is the best car seat we have ever purchased and we have owned several-we have two children. I definitely recommend this convertible car seat! I tell all my friends who are expecting to spend a little bit more and it will save you in the end from buying seats for each stage as your baby grows. I know my daughter will be using this seat for many years to come. You definitely get what you pay for-It is worth every penny!!!!

cute shakers, I like it for what it is
|
hey, if the price is right, I might order another set. Each person should have their own. of thick glass and brushed magnetic stainless steel. Its not really a screw top lid. There are two notches in the lid that goes into a grove and you turn it about a quarter of a circle to hold it on. There is no seal in the lid. Coupled with the fit of the lid, its not really going to keep everything in (good enough for me). two inches high, about 1-7/8 inch tall column of salt, pepper or whatever. One lid has 9 holes in a square arrangement and the other 3 in a line. I might add a silicone seal and maybe enlarge the holes a tad bit for not-so-fine spices.. solid. size is a preference.

Runaways
|
V.C. Andrews Runaways is the best book that I have ever read. It is about four girls Brooke, Raven, Crystal, and Butterfly (Janet). Raven hoped to be a singer, Crystal planned to go to college to be a doctor, Butterfly a dancer, and Brooke secretly hoped to find her mother in California. They lived in New York at a foster home called the Lakewood House, which was owned by Gordon Tooey and his wife Louise. The four girls runaway to California, borrowing Gordon's car. During their trip a lot of mishaps had happened. Making their journey much more difficult. There were almost times where they wanted to give up. This book I thought was very exciting. It has so much suspense and drama. When you read it everything is described so perfect, it is almost as if you were there. If you want to know how these brave young girls lived the rest of their lives you should read the book. I guarantee that this book is one of them books you don't want to put down and you can't wait until the end.

Xenogears...A Masterpiece
|
First, many people are putting down Square because of these new games on playstation. (I even hear people that don't like FF7) I think most people here would rate FF7 as one of the best. Besides FF7, I think there is an equal or even better game out on the market. I think that game would be "Xenogears." A futuristic RPG epic, with most of the classic RPG features. It has a few twists for battling, an anime to through in there, and some large robots. Besides these features, you have nothing more than another FF. This game was created by the dream team of Square (makers of "Chrono Trigger" and "Chrono Cross"). I would not dwell on the negative drainers of these reviews. Most ppl liked the game overall. I would definetly recommend this game to everyone.

Entertaining
|
This was a good book, but it's value lay in clean, crisp writing and its entertainment value. it's a very light read. I read this when i could no longer stomach the more serious non-fiction i was read. but i kept reading! reading bukowski. i can't help comparing him to Fante, a comparison which leads me to my only critisism. Bukowski seems to disregard any didactic mission for a novelist, which is fine. but, knowing his love for fante, i think that in some sense he tries to emmulate him. but he just doesn't capture the emotion that fante does. who knows, maybe he just isn't emtional. and i also get the impression that he leaves imprtant details out. for example, it must be 3 times in this book that all of the sudden his woman decides to leave him. he doesn't tell what events led up to this. anyway, these are mere trifles of complaints. the book was a good book, taken for what it is, a light and entertaining read, well written and concise.

Very Disappointed!!
|
This is the first book by Julie Garwood that I have read. I was sorely disappointed with it. At first it was OK. The idea of a white child being raised with Indians was good. Once she gets to England it gets boring. I felt the book just dragged and dragged. It's obvious that Christina and Lyon are attracted to each other from the beginning. OK, then what???? We don't reaad of her father until the very end. All this build up about him and he has only a few pages in the end of the story. And what about her Indian family?? She could've at least gone and seen them. She sure had enough money to. So much for loving your family as she proclaimed to. I just couldn't get into these characters. I'm glad I took this book out of the library rather than have spent hard earned monry on it.

Surprisingly moving
|
I delayed watching this DVD because of the mixed reviews it has received. I should not have. This DVD has quite a bit going for it. Firstly Chailly's conducting is superb and the very sound of his orchestra is outstanding. Secondly the production in effect translates the opera into a two act affair with disk one playing nonstop through Act 2, scene 2 and disk two doing the same for the rest of the opera. This works quite well for home viewing. Thirdly the acting, singing, and movement all highlight the drama and tensions of this opera and keep one involved with what is going on with the characters. I was particularly impressed with Villazon, Croft, and Lloyd in this regard. Needless to say I am quite happy to see Carlo played as an anguished adolescent. And the sets and costumes? Well they don't get in the way of the drama. Is this THE Don Carlo? I will not say. Is it an exciting night at the opera? Definitely.

Subtle Knowledge
|
Kerouac is the master. He is like a drug. Insane thoughts, feelings and senses coming from every direction. Do not be concerned. He will make you high. No memory is needed. It all seaps through your skin until you become aware. The perfection is incredibly real. And you know it all - every last crumb! He is there, in your head. He has been there your whole life and now he is letting you know yourself. Like he was the child watching, not missing a step, while you were too busy to notice. Don't stop - he hits you like a rush and the relentless wave changes you for good. Go, Go, Go!

When I grow up, i want to be a producer like Fat Jon!
|
can't let another day go by without writing about Fat Jon. I discovered his sound by accident. Actually, while buying some vinyl records online, I read a review about his production and took a chance on it. This is the bomb right here! In a a hip hop world where originality has faded to black, Fat Jon's style stands out from the rest. It's smooth beats to say the least, a laid back, mellow vibe perfect for late night drives on the Autobahn. Check out "Mystery God" and "Beyond Love" which are (in my opinion) two standout tracks on an exceptional album. If you're longing for vocals, this may not be for you. Let me mention that Fat Jon did some production work with a "neo-soul" artist named Venus Malone. Although very hard to find, that collaboration is worth looking for. Beat connoisseurs will have a heyday with Lightweight Heavy. It's sure to please!DJ Come of Age

Quite amusing . . .
|
I picked up this book because the title page compares it to Tom Clancy's books, which I love. I have read War God several times in the fifteen years since, but probably not for the reasons the author wished. The story is actually quite good, but the literary devices are . . . astonishing. It is as if the author was paid by the amount of clichéd narrator jokes, repeated dialogue, and parts numbers packed into the book. My favourite is the US Major about to be overrun who when ordering a subordinate to radio for reinforcements manages to mention the model number of the radio. The book reads like it was written to be an über-techno-thriller by an author who has a bad opinion of techno-thrillers. It *is* fun to read, but especially so if your idea of fun is listing and naming all the exaggerated elements of style, cataloguing and ranking the clichés, not to mention paging back 140 pages to check if a ten-line paragraph really was copied word-for-word. It was.

Pretty Good Beds
|
Things I liked:Pretty lightweight, easy to move. Didn't take up too much space. Very comfortable night's sleep, at least that's what my nephews told me. Pretty sturdy, held my weight(about 220lbs) without a problem. I did not sleep on it, however. Packed and unpacked easily, and they fit nicely in a closet when not in use. Will probably take them on vacation, to use for kids when in smaller hotel rooms. (I bought two of them)Things I did not like:Little difficult to get the end rails on. I was afraid I might bend or break them when forcing them on, but got them on without bending or breaking. Still a little concerned that after repeated assembly/disassembly, I might not be so lucky. Black end caps on rails, that cover the sharp aluminum edges, fell out easily, and marred the walls. The black plastic left marks on the walls that I could not easily get off. Great for kids, but should be a little wider for a full-sized adult.

Because there's no "zero stars" option!
|
Even as a joke, this would be horrible; however, I think this band take it seriously - and it blows! I picked up this CD because I heard A.R.E. were like a combination of suicide, front 242, and iron maiden: Interesting. NO!! A.R.E. are a bad imitation of front 242 and watered-down Liars at best. The guitar riffs are awful and the lyrics are even worse. Example: "Hey World" begins with how much it sucks to be 13.When I saw Pelican in concert, they were opening (?!?!?) for A.R.E., so I decided to give them a second chance. The sound guy must not have liked what he heard, because the bar chatter was louder. "Louder" I yelled, so that I might find something redeeming in their music. "Yeah, SUCK louder!" Someone else yelled - I had to agree & give him a high-five. Maybe I would have liked this when I was 12 and didn't know any better. ZERO STARS!

I did not like this at all
|
I really did not like this book. I liked the first one in the series ok - it wasn't great but I read it to the end. I didn't read this book even halfway through. Really - vanilla ice cream helps the burn when Rhage is exposed to the sun? Seriously? And the whole I went out and had sex last night with complete strangers but I'll never do it again thing. NO. And why do the brothers talk like they do? It is just wrong - written wrong. This book is flawed. The idea behind the series has potential but it just has to be better plotted than this. The author came up with the idea of the Black Dagger Brotherhood, but she can't come up with anything better than vanilla ice cream on a vampire's burns? NO.

good for exercise haters & preg women
|
I hate to exercise and now that I am pregnant again, I am trying to start with something relatively easy. I bought this tape sometime after my 1st child, and the only reason I stopped is b/c getting in the habit of exercising is hard for me. This is relatively easy and actually quite relaxing. There are 3 levels of bands, which is very nice. I had a little trouble finagling the bands at first, but it gets easy quickly. I could tell right away that if I stick with this, it will strengthen and tone my muscles. And I think as I move to higher levels of resistance, I will see more improvements. As a pregnant woman, I can do almost every exercise. There a couple that are hard to do and some belly ones that I can't do. The video is short, but that is good for someone who hates to exercise. It is not very cardiovascular FYI - at least not with the beginner band.

AHA! (aka the light bulb effect!)
|
Even though my son knew several sight words and could sound out many words he did not believe he could read and even refused to even try to read from a book. Enter Dick and Jane. Oh! Oh! Look and See! First attempt - "You know I can't read Mom." Second attempt and 73 pages later - "I'm a great reader!" He could relate to the stories and pictures of children and their pets playing and seemed indifferent to "the lack of plot" or monoculturalism. In fact, he laughed and enjoyed every page. Our family joyously celebrated his success with ice cream. Therefore, in response to the PhD reviewer who condescendingly pleaded "Please let experts teach reading....." lighten up and laugh a little at these simple little stories and be happy that there are parents out there that are taking the time and interest in helping their children learn.

good, but can be better
|
first one i bought was defective. out of the box, the power led kept blinking. read a few forums and found out that a firmware upgrade is needed. i thought this didn't make sense as new products should work immediately. anyways, i decided to return the product and asked for a replacement. the second one was a lot better. it worked as soon as i've got the cables connected. signal strength was good and i haven't had any connection dropped. one issue though is i can't vpn to office network. again, read forums and found out that this is an outstanding issue. waiting for a firmware update that will fix this. overall, it's a good replacement for my old usr 5461 router which kept dropping connections.

GREAT BASSINET!
|
My first bassinet was a gift at my baby shower. It wasn't everything I was exactly looking for. So when I got pregnant with my 2nd child, I shopped and broswed bassinets for a few months. I decided on this particular one because I live in a 4story house. I LOVE THIS ITEM! In the morning when I would move from floor to floor my daughter would just sleep in the bassinet and I could just carry it where i needed to. The only thing I didn't use was the changing table, mainly because i already had one. I was reading the previous posts and I actually didn't have the problem with the sagging middle. The support board came in one piece and doesn't sag at all. I felt this was worth the $$. Hope this post helps!

friendship as it should be-----good
|
I read the book in June and finished it in about 2 weeks I am busy and a slow reader but itreally paced me. I did more in bed than sleep and at my age that something. The novelist better start a new novel since I am sure that the readers want more. The characters are so vivid, so real, and so human. The things that they have experienced many plus more can relate to and its was a real good ride. My favorite character was Jan. But they were all good. If this book does not have you crying and sighing for a friendship you have or wish you had nothing will. I like the fact that the 60's was a popular time. It really was. I gave the book 4 stars and after I finish reading it I would have given it 10

Pathetic drivel
|
I'm sorry, but Vince Spadea should have kept his secret diary to himself. I did find some of his comments to be interesting, but for the most part the thoughts he expresses in this book are pure drivel and mind chatter. Unfortunately, Vince comes across as a very self-absorbed and superficial human being. Vince paints a picture of himeself as someone who is insecure and way too dependent on what others think about him. He wants the reader to think he is cool because of who he knows and associates with. Sad! I sincerely hope he doesn't represent the whole breed of professional tennis players in today's world. In the end I think Vince was just making another buck for himself with this pathetic account of his tennis touring life. One last thought, Spadea mentions he has only read one book in its entirety. Well this really shows! If he had read a few good books, I'm sure he wouldn't have wanted to publish such self-indulgent crap.

The Dead Matter not
|
Not to burst anyone's bubble, but this film isn't that great. In fairness, it's obvious that those that made it gave it their best shot and made it with heart. And, there are some good ideas here. Still, the film is convoluted, suffers from poor pacing, editing and looks cheap. It also does a poor job trying to decide if it's a horror film or satire. One scene meant for laughs features a zombie drinking beer in a pub, a funny idea. Amazingly the crowd in the bar doesn't even notice the monster and the joke just dies. Beloved Cleveland celeb Big Chuck has a cameo but isn't given much to do, which is a shame. Midnight Syndicate is known for their music but the score feels overproduced for this kind of B movie carnage and intrudes more than enhances the movie. Listening to the soundtrack (which is very good) by itself would be the better option. I have to note that the beautiful DVD cover artwork is truly awesome.

Ummm.. what?
|
Okay.. This album was recommended to me by a sales clerk when I told him that I had enjoyed FSOLs work on "Papua New Guinea" and "We have explosive". Boy, was he off-course. As much as I tried, I just couldn't get into this album. I sat with the lights off, burning candles, doing yoga, etc. and all I could think was.. whatever. It doesn't seem that FSOL put any thought into this album whatsoever. It consists of randomness and not much else. Frankly, if I could return this cd, I would. I don't recommend this to anyone that enjoys structured music, or who likes rhythm: this album will drive you mad. =)

Well, I just bought myself Transformers on DVD. Giggling like an idiot and running to my DVD player I was absolutley shocked when I threw it in. No extras whatsoever. Not even a theatrical trailer. Pan and Scan only ?!?!! Augh! Could it get any worse? Yep. The sound is horrible. Hissy and muted. The Video isn't incredible, either. on Par with the VHS copy. Perhaps slightly crisper. I'm not sure if I got a different version. It has a different cover than what's shown here on Amazon (I bought mine at a local video store) This version is released by a company called Seville and Sports a cover like the VHS Release froma few years back with Optimus. Needless to say. I was incredibly dissapointed. Disgusted, even.

Beyond the Mundane & Ordinary!
|
I do not understand the reviewer's comment that the Buttercream recipe was missing "cream" and "vanilla"! The recipe for the Butttercream is called "VANILLA Buttercream"! There is vanilla in the recipe(1 teaspoon!). And there is no cream in buttercream! Beyond that silliness, I have been using Anne Warren's recipes for buttercream and cakes for years after seeing her on Martha Stewart. My family and friends love them! The Buttercream is so much better than store made lard and sugar icings. The section on colors is especially precise and correct. The science behind the section "Hazards to Buttercream" is very informative & helpful. If you want to make and decorate cakes beyond the ordinary and mundane, this is the book. If you can follow directions carefully and have a bent towards creativity you will create beautiful and sophisticated tasting cakes.

After 2 of These DVD Players Die, We Give Up!!
|
I was very excited to get this DVD player for my wife. She used her old one all the time and this seemed to have comparable features and a good price tag. Unfortunately, sometimes you get what you pay for. The first unit I purchased broke after 3 months of use. It would not recognize discs anymore. I got a replacement and now 3 months later the brand new unit (not refurbished) is doing the same thing! Coby will take it back for limited warranty service (even though I am 3 days outside the 90 day window), but they are making me pay for shipping to them and then I have to enclose an $18 money order for return shipping. But what are they going to do, send me a 3rd unit that will break? I am very upset about this and want to warn you that if you plan on using this on any sort of regular basis, beware: it will die. So long, Coby!(I would change my stars to 1 if it would let me!!)

THIS BOOK SAVED MY LIFE!
|
I am a professional trainer of a large corporation. I was asked to train over 300 employees in advanced Acrobat. The Classroom in a Book was useless and there are few resources for people such as myself to turn to. I happened to stumble on this book on amazon. I noticed it was selling well. I ordered it and read it within 3 days. It answered questions that had been plaguing me for years on PDF Writer and all the little ins and outs on Distiller. It was an easy read and the author has a light and entertaining style that makes it a pleasure to read. This book really saved me from embarressment. In fact, I made it required reading in my course. I highly recommend it for anyone who needs to fully emerse themselves in this technology.

Kindle review
|
After much research on different types of e-books I purchased the Kindle for my birthday. I decided on the Kindle over the Sony because I like that the Kindle comes ready to use and does not require use of a computer. My Kindle arrived very quickly and was very easy to use. I like that I did not have to do anything with a computer to start using it. I purchased prior to receiving the Kindle a set of e-books. The e-books were very easy to install from a DVD. I also purchased several e-books from Kindle which were downloaded to my device very quickly. I love the fact that the Kindle is very light, easy to use and does not require a lot of extra steps before using. I purchased a cover and ear phones after receiving my Kindle. I would highly recommend the Kindle and suggest that if you purchase one to also purchase some type of cover for it. I love my Kindle and would recommend it to any one. I also purchased the 2 year warranty. I believe that it is worth it. Happy reading!!!

what for a game :((
|
Sorry, this was the worst game i played in the last time. In comparison with other titles Generals get the worst review of all. I am very disappointed about what they made out of this brand. The balancing is awful, America is every time the best choice. And people, what do say about great gfx? Are you blind? Just watch the water in the rivers. Just moving polygons. Not to mention about the missing story, strange mission goals and bad pathing. The best thing of the whole game are the remarks of the units. For this and the hope i got while playing that the game will be better by the missions i assign two stars.I was a big fan and played every title. Not more. Just installed the good old red alert. Wouldn't buy it with this experience.

Love it!
|
I love this book! It's so intruiging. But, their are a few errors in it. For instance, the SVU books were written before Olivia Davidson died, so Olivia Davidson is at the reuinion, even though she's suppose to be dead, and Liz is talking to her a lot. Also, a few of the memories didn't exist. ANyway, this book is really good. Mike does something really increadible for Jessica, which you'll have to read in order to find out. Todd and Tom have a lot of controversity, but you'll have to read it to find out who wins Elizabeth's heart. Also, Jessica confesses the whole story to her parents. How will they react? Read it to find out! Also, they have a high school reunion, and Olivia Davidson, who's suppose to be dead is in it. It's mildly amusing how some of the people and memories that are mentioned didn't exist. This is a really great book. Even if you've never celebrated Chrismas you'll like it. This book is great!

fun and educational
|
I gave this product 4 stars for durability because of the construction of the actual butterfly pavillion. It's made out of collapsable plastic, and is very lightweight. Fine for people without toddlers or cats. I haven't decided where I can put it that my cats won't be able to knock it over and that my little boy can still see it without knocking it over, as well. Of course, if it had a heavier base shipping would be more expensive. Catch 22. All 5 of our caterpillars arrived alive and 2 have already made cocoons. The other 3 are working their way to the top and I expect that they will make cocoons soon. The only gross thing about this so far is that the little caterpillar jar is full of caterpillar poop. On the bright side, that is one more educational aspect to this toy - even caterpillars poop! My 2 1/2 yr old loves checking on the caterpillars each day.

didn't work
|
Seller shipped promptly so no complaint there. It didn't do any good though. I have a mini schnauzer who picked up a nasty flea problem. I started with multiple flea baths, didn't help. Then I got the Hartz topical medicine. Didn't work. I then spent the bigger bucks for Frontline. Didn't work. I finally got a prescription for Comfortis pills. I could not get it locally and had to order it from 1 800 petmeds with a prescription from my vet. The dog had seen the vet within a few months so they didn't require another exam, I just called and got the prescription. They shipped super fast and the Comfortis did the trick. I wish I'd never bothered with the topical stuff and gone straight for the prescription pills. The Comfortis pills worked super well and super fast, and I wasted a bunch of time and money getting to the real solution.

This CD is so good I though I'd review it again.
|
Metallica was and still is the best band around. Whos to say that they must play "heavy metal"? Metallica has created thier own genre of music, call it...Metallica. Any band can come up with songs, but it takes a real band like Metallica to create songs that sound like no other song or band out there. For those of you without this CD, BUY IT! Fuel, Memory Remains, and Unforgiven 2 play on the radio, but I say all the songs have or had the potential to be a single. Slither, Prince Charming, Bad Seed, Attitude, and Low Mans Lyric is still pretty good stuff. Maybe some of you don't like this material, but in a recent interview on MTV's FANatic, James was asked what his favorite songs were. He said Fuel, Carpe Diem Baby, and Fixxxer. Those are 3 from Reload right there. Don't overlook this album, its one of thier best.

I have been searching 30 years for this book.
|
When I took my first course in calculus, "bilingual education" meant a German graduate assistant lecturing American engineering students on a subject replete with Greek. And all we did was proofs. As I wandered the dorm at 2am, looking for upperclassmen to help me, I was filled with a despair deeper than anything I have felt since. When I found that the juniors and seniors didn't understand either, I fell to memorizing. Until this book, I still thought that little delta and little epsilon were on the same axis. I have always felt ashamed, and cheated, about my lack of understanding. Thank you, Divid Berlinski for helping me to see the light. I loved the book. I loved the glimpses into the personalities and the history of math. I loved all the little personal stories; I found them to be helpful in remembering.(I did have a problem with the picture of the mean value theorem. Why is the label "t-a" applied to the chord rather than the t axis? any help?)

Must Buy for any Metroid Fan.
|
If you love Metroid you will love this game. Even though it's first person, it is still Metroid deep down. The series keeps getting better and better and is evolving as the technology advances. I've had a chance to play this as a demo and it was insane! The graphics are great (buh bye Halo) and so is the detail. You can see Samus's face behind the green visor. They've used a lot of the same sounds from previous Metroid games. They've used all the old FX sounds from previous Metroid games in this new one. Take it from this hard core Metroid fan (own and stil play NES, SNES, and GB versions) you must own this game. The gameplay is very smooth and easy to pick up. The camera is great too, no problems with it. When Samus morphs into a ball the camera changes to a 3rd person view. I highly recommend getting this game if you love Metroid. It's also a good purchase if you like first person shooters.

Overrated

So reducing this to songs I can still listen to years later:1. Something2. I Want You (She's So Heavy)3 You Never Give Me Your Money4. She Came In Through The Bathroom Window5. Golden Slumbers6. The EndThe other stuff (HCTS by Harrison possible exception) just isn't great song writing, blind Beatle sheep. Stop spamming the world with talk of how great and legendary they are. Just when the old wave of Beatle sheep (former one right here) come to their senses a younger generation get turned on to them courtesy of hype and stick on for years till they too hopefully regain their senses. This only applies to a few of them, the majority are hooked on this sub-standard crap for life. More cash for Olivia, Dhani, Yoko, Paul and Ringo. You digusting, money grabbing, scam artists.

What a surprise! What an ending!
|
[Note: do not read the spoiler review by "George & Georgia Eliot" on this site before you read the book (I'm glad I didn't) since the reviewer reveals the plot line even in the title of the review. Hey, thanks a lot. Don't you know you're supposed to put "spoiler alert" on things like that?] As for SUMMER itself, it was a delightful surprise from Wharton. One of the few books in which she actually admits that her characters have sex (oh, my) and actually does it tastefully and in strict accordance with the characters' natures and the plot itself. The ending was a stunning surprise, and this from a huge Wharton fan, who found this book accidentally for the Kindle. Thank you, those who made this book available for free, but I would've paid to read this one. SUMMER is one of the best books Wharton ever wrote. Thumbs up on character development, irony, plot, dialogue, etc. Great read. 5*

Tom Cruise was the only good thing in this movie
|
I watched this movie because I was on a flight to India. I actually expected it to be decent. Not great, but ok. It wasn't. The music was distracting, it didn't add to the overall story. I liked the songs, but they seemed to take away from the story, which was lackluster at best. The two leads were annoying. I love Alex Baldwin, but his bad wig was so ridiculous I couldn't take the role seriously. It was hard to tell if they were trying to make it a parity or trying to take themselves seriously. The only good thing in the movie was Tom Cruise. When he came on the screen and in all his scenes, he brought the movie to an all new level. He is the only reason to watch this movie. A good example of how a great actor can still be great in a really bad movie.

best game ever!!!!!!!!!
|
if you had played halo 1 you MUST play halo2. it is great. The weapons are fantastic. my favorite ones are the rocket launcher and the SMG. the vehicles...where do i start? They're all great but...i think the scorpion tank is the best. it has two weapons the main turret and the very powerful cannon. the warthog supports three people.(the driver the rider that can shoot people, and someone to control the turret on the back). The same with the gauss warthog . the ghost is an alien vehicle that has two plasma beams as the main weapons. same with the banshee except that it can fly. the spectre has a turret on the back and people caride on the side.the wepons again are great. the best ones are the energy sword, shotgun rocket launcher, needler,and the plasma grenades(they STICK on to people,THEN they explode)kinda funny when you watch it happen to someone else, but not you.

Wonderful sad book.
|
I know nothing about children's books. It has been many years since I had a small child in my family. This year we were blessed. When we were supposed to take a book to the shower, I asked several friends with small children to recommend a book. Everyone recommended this one. I was very surprised it was so widely known. I had never heard of it before. It is very sad. I'm not sure what would be a good age for the child to have this book read to them. The parent would have to judge that. One suggestion I would have. The author looks like a mass murderer on the back cover. I would definitely cover that page, as a parent. As the author-have a new photo taken. That one is scary!

Free at last

This an excellent book, simple and to a well-put point. Suicide is not a word that often escapes our lips. There is so much stigma still attached to it. I do not think the stigmas will ever go away, and so much more education is still needed. I know for I have been there. Be forewarned, suicide is on the rise at all age levels. I know the pain that drives one to a desperation point. Being involved in mental health advocacy, both as a victim and a survivor of suicide, I welcome more of this kind of writing. We all need to speak out on this topic. I have purchased six of these books, distributing them where they are needed, and will purchase more. Kudos to the authors for a job well done ... thank you from me! You have helped me enormously in my suicide prevention work.

Prometheus review.....DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS MOVIE!!!
|
Should have know that if Ridley Scott was the producer, that this copy cat movie would be like all his Alien movies! If you've seen all the original 'Alien' movies, then you don't need to waste your money on Prometheus! It's story line and characters are identical to all his past movies! Right down to the female survivor, the android robot who loses his head and still can talk and think like a human, and even the ending made absolutely no sense! The "creature" gives birth to a baby "Alien" from the original movies, but the "creature" looks nothing like the baby that just popped out of it's stomach!! (Maybe this "creature" had an extra marital affair...who knows!) It was a total waste of time and money. Paid $15.99 for it and if you want it for $5...let me know! There's two hours of my life that I'll never get back!!! Save your money and bypass Prometheus!!!

I was "all in" with track one!
|
Slings and Arrows kicks things off on the right track! I was expecting Brecker to lead the soloing as the leader often will. Surprise! It's Metheny. He gets things cooking really good. In fact, he flat out burns. Brecker follows and things really take off, and there's no looking back. Wow!Midnight Voyage is one great trip. Brecker really nails this one, and the rhythm section's in the groove.I always liked Song for Bilbao, it's great to hear with the sax playing the head.Around when this came out, I felt a few of Brecker's recent efforts were just ok. With Tales, he puts together a CD I would rank with the very best of his jazz performances.It's a well done production, and I like the flow from beginning to end. But, what I really enjoy is the way they really get down to business on this one. Brecker's playing on the up-tempo numbers (throughout, really) is superlative.

Review of Hebrew for Dummies
|
I have purchased a number of Dummy books and have found them quite useful. Then I bought this book without making a close examination of it. Big mistake. I have 2 major problems with it.1 - In chapter one it briefly covers the Hebrew alphabet and the pronunciation of consonants and vowels. That's it! No more Hebrew in the rest of the book. Everything is transliterated. I can understand the use of transliterations for Japanese or Chinese since they have thousands of different kanji's. But, Hebrew has only 22 letters in its alphabet! This one factor made the book worthless to me.2 - No where in the book does it say what is being said on the CD. I have no idea! Is he saying, "How are you?" Maybe, "Is it raining?"On the plus side, the book has a lot of useful information about Israel, customs, etc. But as a language book I would never recommend it.

WHAT TYPE OF DUMB GAME IS THIS

This is the worst and i mean WORST game that Maxis has created. The graphics stink!! I dont know but I am in love with all of the PC games for the sims, does that mean that I hate this game? Does that affect my choice?No. Why? Because I love Sims Bustin Out which has more opitions. This game was more challenging the the rest. I didn't buy this game (thank goodness) I rented it. It is SO DUMB!!!My friends agree this game is bad. I am very happy that Maxis made The Sims Bustin Out. I am 11 and my message to you is, DON'T SPEND A PENNY ON THIS GAME!!!

A Great CD - This Lady Can Sing!!
|
I've been a Tiffany fan since the beginning of her career. When I found out that she was releasing this album, and writing some of the songs, I was very excited to hear it. I just loved her previous cd "Color of Silence", so I couldn't wait to hear her new stuff. When I finally got the CD I wasn't disappointed. What a great CD. The songs on this CD really show Tiffany's great vocal skills. I particularly like the songs Just Me, Be Alright, and Mind Candy.I recently had the opportunity to see Tiffany live, and I must say her voice is terrific. Her vocal range and performance enthusiam made for a great show. Afterward I had the opportunity to meet Tiffany, and she was so genuine and warm. This lady is truly a talented singer and a nice person. I can't wait to hear more from her in the future.

A story about courage, hope, victory.
|
I first read the book to see if my grandaughters would like it. They are 12 and 9 years old. I really enjoyed the book myself. It is a story about courage, hope, victory, people caring about each other and the good guys win in the end. It is everything that makes America great. It has both the good parts of us and the bad parts. I never felt that I was being "preached" at but there was definetely a "lesson" being taught. I would like to know more about some of the other characters and hope J. A. Louthain writes more about the people in the story, the school teacher Mr. Jenson, Mary, Gina, the Fish Children. I feel like we get to know them a little but I would like to know them better. It is an enjoyable book for any age.

Havens Shines, But Most of the Rest is Forgettable
|
I've never seen the movie WARRIORS OF VIRTUE. As a novelty, I would someday like to see it. However, I have listened to the WARRIORS OF VIRTUE SOUNDTRACK numerous times. I received a copy of it years ago when I was producing an international award-winning children's radio show. We received a couple of copies. We gave one away and kept one to play music from the show. Unfortunately, the music really didn't fit with the show and was rarely played. I ended up keeping the cd because I couldn't find anyone who wanted a copy of this used cd.The music on the album is a strange conglomeration. There's some instrumental songs; a moving, semi-spiritual piece; some alternative-sounding tracks; and at least one rock song. Of the thirteen tracks on the album the only two I can really recommend are "Inside of You" by Richie Havens and "Song of the Seas" by Vangelis. For me, the rest of the tunes are forgettable.

Turn down those video settings!
|
I was excited about getting this game. I love trains. I installed it on my 800 Mh, 256 meg Ram machine and started playing. My system crashed within 5 minutes. I rebooted and it crashed again. Hmmm. I went into the settings and turned down the video to poor quality. Now it doesn't crash. It seems to me, that based on the minimum system requirements, my machine should handle this well. There are other bugs as well; I cannot run my train in snow for example, I get a window asking me if I want to send this error to Microsoft. Then the program shuts down. So, I play this game with the settings turned down and without the full array of options. And I have fun. But a game this expensive should not be shipped with such blatant bugs. Buy it if you love trains, though.

Good concept, badly done
|
This is a psychological thriller. Scary but no gore- how I prefer it. Problem being? Nicole Kidman's terrible from beginning to end. The movie is set back before electricity existed and men were away at war, so the dialogue and the children are pretty boring and minimal. Everything is focused around the dictator-like character Nicole tries to play. Yawn. The best parts of this movie are what you saw in the trailer for it! It drags on until the plot twist which reminded me of another certain movie that it worked a LOT better for. Rent this movie if you like these types of movie's but really, don't expect much or you'll be very disappointed. And irritated about the wasted time you can never get back!

The Events of 9/11
|
I am very satisfied with my purchase. Those who rated this dvd low are those out there looking for conspiracy theories. National Geographic was sure to avoid this, they didnt feed you any ideas of anything other than what happened, they give you the full story of the terrorist plots execution and timeline. The dvd starts way back in 1980. The first program shows the events leading up to it, and stops on sept 10th. the second program takes you through the entire day of Sept 11. It takes you through every thing the terrorist plan and do that day. With real life accounts the events come together. I personally love the way they did the film, theres no unnessecary scenes of violence. I highly recommend this to any one looking just for the story of 9/11, who wants to know what happened on the blackest day of American history. As for those who believe the conspiracy theories, this isnt the film for you.

devoted fan

This is the best CD....I love all the songs. To pick a favorite it changes all the time...right now I enjoy "I Survived You" and "The Way". What a great job by Mr. Aiken. Refresehing to have an entertainer that can actually sing and does not have to use any foul language. Mr. Aiken certainly has hit the music world in a way that was much needed. I for one have been waiting for a great voice and someone with such great morals is just an added bonus. I love that Mr. Aiken is so intrested in helping others. I hope he continues his music career at least for now but I also hope he does what he wants to do!!!! I await the next concert (fortunate to see him already and he was awesome). The crowd response to Mr. Aiken is amazing. God Bless you Mr. Aiken and keep up the awesome music for your devoted fans!!!!

Fantastic
|
Hello. I think that this Cd is 2002 best cd (well, maybe the second, after Springsteen). The songs are very good (they are 8 new songs, very good, songs). My favorites are: All the things she said and Show me love. The rest (30 seconds, not gonna get us, malchik gay, clowns, Stars) are, also, great. There is a new version of "how soon is now?", a very good songs for this girls' voices. Well, the songs are fantastic, but THE BEST of the cd is Julia and Lena's voices; THEYR VOICES ARE INCREDIBLE. Please, belive me, YOU HAVE TO BUY THIS CD NOW !!! NOW!!!. Thank you, and TATU FOREVER.

Received and then stopped working
|
I used this product for a week and then it would not work at all. It appears that this product was taken apart and repaired and then put back together. The led lights in the front were not lined up with the holes they are suppose to be sticking out of. This makes it hard to see the lights even when they are lit up. I can no longer get the product to get power at all. I had a power cord already that was compatible with this product because one was not provided. This product no longer works. It is okay, though. I was going to use it with AT&T service, which it was no longer compatible with. I ordered a new modem with AT&T. Shipping was fast and product was great when it worked.

This isn't music

Cannibal Corpse: all of their crap all in one filthy package. I'd rather shove spoons in my ears than listen to any of this garbage again. Don't give them encouragment to make more by buying this album. I already burned mine in a bizzare satanic ritual because I hated it so much. It is nothing but a bunch of blasting, no-talent guitar, drums that go so fast they're almost out of time (in fact, they occaisonally are) and some guy who screams throughout the whole album and sounds like the cookie monster. Except the cookie monster doesn't talk about raping dead bodies like these twisted retards do. That's not all they talk about either. They also talk about ripping a woman's entrails thorugh her...nevemind. The point is, don't get this trashy peice of...well...trash. And shame on you for ever even looking upon it. I can't beleive that so many people see fit to give it 5 stars, when it doesn't even deserve the one star I'm giving it. Good day, you bunch of epileptic monkeys.

Jeopardy 2003 A Rip-Off
|
Jeopardy 2003 is a huge WASTE OF MONEY! First of all, the program is flawed because it periodically shuts down. And it will do so in the middle of a game, so be forewarned. Second, all of the questions are exactly the same as the Jeopardy 1st edition game! I thought I was buying a whole new, fun Jeopardy game (because after much play on the 1st edition, my family and I had memorized most of the answers). Instead, I got essentially the same thing as I already owned, only the computerized Alex doesn't have a mustache this time. Furthermore, the "Tournament of Champions"...totally bogus. It is mostly questions from the regular Jeopardy rounds mixed up to make you think they are the more difficult T.O.C. questions. Overall, this game gets a big fat ZERO with me. The price I paid was NOT well worth it for what I received. Alex and Merv should have thought twice before putting their names on this game...

Turn To The Go-Go's
|
After the hit or miss affair that Vacation was, the Go-Go's finally took a break from their rigorous touring schedule. They returned back on the top of their game with Talk Show. The album combines their punkish attitudes with a slick pop production. The pounding piano on "Head Over Heels" practically begs you to get up and dance. "Forget That Day" shows Belinda Carlisle's ability to perfectly portray the girl with the wounded heart. "Yes Or No" & "Beneath The Blue Sky" or good pop songs as is "Capture The Light". The highlight of the album, and possibly their career, is "Turn To You". The song is a perfect synthesis of their early punk rocking days and their recorded pop sheen. The song has a frantic driving guitar and slamming drums, but it also has a stop and go sound with perfect harmonies. A true triumph. Unfortunately the band imploded after this release, but they did leave behind three great albums.

And they are from the U.S.!
|
I love Book Of Love. This CD is their first and, I think their best. Although Lullaby is excellent as well as Lovebubble. Candy Carol has the excellent Counting the Rosaries. The remixes of that are superb. Book Of Love are excellent. I love the fact that they are from the U.S., unlike PSB, Electronic/New Order, etc. This CD has dance songs as well as some beautiful songs like Modigliani (mixes are great too) and Happy Day. I wish they were still together. BUY THIS CD!!!! takes me back........

Nice features, slow response
|
This is my first flip phone (with Cingular) and overall, it's pretty good. It's light and fits well in any pocket. However, the buttons (or software) don't respond quickly when pressed. My friend has an older Motorola flip phone and any time you pressed a button, it responded quickly. Not so with the V400. Sometimes it takes almost 2 full seconds before your button press gets a response. For example, to pull up the list of previously-called numbers, you press the SEND button once. That always takes over 1 second before the list is displayed. It gets annoying after a while. I'm still used to my old Nokia 3600 (?) model that responded the instant I hit any button.Also, it's annoying that you can't just turn on speakerphone prior to making a call. You have to wait for the call to be completed.Overall a good phone with tons of great features. I think they just packed far too many features into the software.

Nothing but good
|
I was a little hesitant because some reviewers talked about the freezing tub being fragile or the sorbet being too soft or it being too slow. I strongly disagree. I have used this beauty for dessert 4 or 5 nights a week since getting it over a month ago. I mix up the ingredients and put them in the refrigerator to thoroughly cool, then put the freezer together and pour it in. 10 to 20 minutes later, it's ready (depends on exact mix). If you think it's too soft, you're not used to home-made ice cream! The outside of the freezer tub is not metal, but I don't think it could be with the material inside it which has to expand. Obviously you have to be aware of that. The interior of the tub is stronger and I use my plastic ice cream scooper and hard plastic spatula to get every drop of the goodies every time. This is a champ. We've probably made enough homemade goodies already to pay for it if you think about how much we would have paid for that much ice cream or frozen dessert.

Furminator
|
I first saw the Furminator listed as a grooming feature in an ad by a local groomer. The ad had a link to the web site, where I learned more about the product. I found the best price at Amazon.com. The product works very well at removing the undercoat from my dog! He's a mixed breed with some Australian Shepard heritage, so he's got that furry layer under his top coat. First, I brush him out with my regular brush to get the knots out. Then I use the Furminator to work out the inner layers. It's amazing how much extra fur comes out! Apply gentle pressure with even strokes, being very careful of (or avoiding) sensitive areas. It's very easy to use. Reduces shedding very well. My dog's coat looks beautiful after grooming!

Dumb lyrics? No! Dumb listeners? Perhaps....
|
I'm dismayed by the number of reviewers who seem baffled by the lyric's in this CD (and the other Cake CD's too.) Many songs take lines directly from the Bible, believe it or not! On this album, "Sheep go to heaven, goats go to hell" is something Jesus said to his disciples. Throughout Cake's music, there is evidence that at least one of their writers is familiar with other scriptures. ("You part the waters".... and *I'm not fit to touch the hem of your garment* also come to mind.)As for the lyrics being dumb, anyone who has studied Surrealism (Salvador Dali and Rene Magritte) know that two seemingly unrelated ideas juxtaposed often result in a deeper truth... and humour. That's why I listen all the time to Cake's three albums. They have holding power because they are deep as well as funky. They're my favorite group.Incidentally, I'm a high school teacher in her 50's. My son who lives in CA. gave me my first Cake CD.

well written and researched
|
First off, if you have a complaint about a trend in books, write the publisher. Green and the loss of it always gets their attention. Now, for the book. I thought it was well researched and written. Not gory at all. You see worse than that on CSI. This is reality. There are people out there like this. It is a mind of a killer and that's not pretty. If you believed it, it made you feel something,horror, sadness or happiness when she brought you into their world, she did her job, she must have with all the negative comments. Believe me, there are much more graphic books out there not so well written.Although I like her Irish trilogy best, with Carnel Innocence second, this one was good and suspense is a good genre for her. I'm sure it's tough getting the right balance between serious, family and romance, but she does it justice.I wouldn't recommend it for anyone who can't take the reality of life.

I'll be honest - Just another dissapointment!
|
I am a huge Queensryche fan! Most fans will be optimist and try to write things positive about this Q2k. I'am usually the same type of person. However I have lost my patience. I though the last CD was OK but not up to par. This CD (Q2K) is another attempt by a once great band to sound "modern". What happened to awesome solo's or song lyrics that grab you and make your heart pound and give that lift that only great hard rock/metal music can do. If your looking for material simiar to: The first EP, The Warning, Rage For Order, Operation Mindcrime or even Promise Land it's NOT here! Q2K is just non-memorable stuff that will collect dust in your cd collection while you wear out your copies The Warning or Operation Mindcrine. Buy it for the collection but don't have high expectations. A One word description - LAME

Illiterate perv
|
Oh my God, this guy was a principal at a school??? Around kids??? EWYEWWW!!! IF you can overlook the total illiteracy of this writer, who has no excuse for it, then the ongoing so-called sexuality of the characters will make you gag. It isn't pulp sex, good erotica, literate sex, it isn't even interesting. It's just plain gross. His sentences often have nothing to do with the previous paragraph, he jumps from character to another scene to conversation without any coherency, and his grammar is astonishingly bad for a so-called educator. I agree with the other reviewers that his books can turn your stomach, and are a crying shame. Mayport was a very interesting place, with loads of history and a strong community. It has very little resemblance to the pervs and sadists he depicts. Don't waste your money.

Stop comparing him to Stephen King, he is better!
|
I was suprised by the short stories I just read. I just finished The Collection by Bentley Little. This was my first exposure to the author. He is one demented person. I love it! everyone compares him to Stephen King and I say he is ten times better than the master of redneck...um..er.. macabre..Mr. Little at times can be boring and too historical, but when he is in top form, he can blow your mind away. His ideas are very original. One can only imagine where he comes up with these delightfully macabre tales. Recommended must-read stories in this book include The Woods Be Dark and The Sanctuary. I guarantee once you start reading this book you will be hooked. great for late night reading. Guaranteed chills!! Enjoy!

Great idea, but...
|
It is a great idea to publish a book like this. When I received this book I was happy, but a few minutes later I was already disappointed. I own a few actual statistics from the same company (Moore Research Center) and couldn`t believe, that they have hidden the most important statistics. For example feeder cattle: in their statistic they published 2 trades with a winning chance of 100 %. In this book they published zero! For example lean hog: in their statistic: 9 trade-opportunities with a winning chance of 100 %. In this book: only 2! They filled this book with 80 % chances. I don`t know, why they have hidden the higher chances?! Somehow I have the impression, this company don't want to tell us the trades with the highest probability. What a pity!

ENTERTAINING AND BOLD!
|
The author goes where few poets dare to. She leaves no stone unturned and tells it like it T I is. Buy this book! It will make you reflect on the past and think about your future. It will make you go hmmmm. You will be challenged to think whether you like it or not. Open Our Eyes is plain truth. It will surely open your eyes. This is a good, brave work. Please come to Atlanta, sister. You are welcomed.

Don't bother with this one
|
I purchased this toaster because it touts the widest and deepest bread slots of any toaster. They're deep, which is fine, but the slot bottom is a wavy piece of wire that has big gaps. Pop Tarts (for which there is a special setting) lean way over to the side and get trapped when the pop-up mechanism activates. (Bread does this sometimes too if the pieces aren't very large.) Items don't pop up as far as the outside of the box tells you it does. Still have to stick fingers or tongs in to get items. Also, the darkest setting for making toast is not actually all that dark. Toast comes out unevenly browned. The levers to push the bread down don't always catch the first time, so you have to make sure the bread actually stays down. I had this for 3 weeks before taking it back. What a disappointment!

Amazing
|
My boss kept telling me to get this book. So, finally, after one of the hardest days I've had in a long time, I went and got it. And it was the best $20 spent in quite a while. It makes complete sense to me. And I don't deem myself as highly religious or spiritual. Of course, the title is quite misleading but it's perfect marketing. The section on "lust" hit me like a ton of bricks. Of course! We constantly go after something we think will make us whole or happy...like clothes, electronics, sex. And it does make us happy...for a short time. But then it leaves us empty and wanting more. So we go after more. It's a vicious cycle! Of course, it takes a lot of willpower not to give into our desires, our wants, our addictions. But at least striving to do so can make you into the strong person you probably didn't think you could be.I would reccommend this book to anyone. Regardless of faith or where they are in life. It certainly makes you think.

Amazing Story
|
I am a 16 yrs old, and i am not much of a reader. I read the bare minimum of what is assigned in school, and sometimes not even that. I enjoyed reading this book so much though. I honestly couldn't put it down. I felt like i knew ever character and loved hearing all about them. It is an amazing story about normal people that aren'e perfect, but have created amazing lives for themselves. After reading this book i had all my friends read it, and i didn't have one that didn't like it. I reccomend it to everyone. Especially all you teenagers who need to find a book to read for school. This is it!!!

Unbelievably bad...
|
I have enjoyed many other Patterson novels so was expecting another good read. However, I was totally disappointed in this shallow and unbelievable story. To me, there was no depth to the characters and the plot was unreal. I couldn't believe the book was a Patterson novel! I was also amazed at the number of mistakes in sentence structure, typo's, etc. Mr. Patterson definitely needs to find better proof-readers/editors. In my opinion, the errors were so bad and so noticeable, I laughed out loud at times. I was surpised that a book written by such a well known author could contain so many errors and then still get published! How could this be a bestseller??? Overall, a great disappointment. I will be very hesitant to buy another book by Mr. Patterson and his co-author, Mr. Gross.

If Only My Country Knew What She Is Missing Out On...
|
I'm an American teenager. I think how it's so funny how a lot of artists with teenagers never even get a chance over here. There are SO many talented musicians out there and only a select few will give them the time of day. Whoa! Heaven forbid it's not coporate or commercial music. I've lost my way. Okay, I'm just going to make this short and sweet. If you have doubts, at least give the artist a chance and there's nothing wrong with not liking a certain artists music because it's not your taste, but at least give the music a chance before you judge it. Go out there and buy this album because the guy is freaking talented, gifted, and comical. I'm done! This album is spectacular.

Weird and Dumb
|
I can understand people loving bad movies. Or being scared of bad movies. I will begrudge no one their cult movies. I am just not on the bandwagon on this one. Chuck Connors will always be George Moore from "Roots". He's about as scary as Elmer Fudd. The mannequins were not scary. And what was with the telekinesis? So weird and dumb without an ounce of suspense. THe killer looked like a bad drag version of Leatherface, but much less scary. Just not for me.

Excellent trimmer, but it needs care
|
I bought my Grass Hog in 2000 and finally this spring it died. The battery wouldn't recharge. I found out where to order another one in another post (Dewalt Factory Service, online). That battery wouldn't recharge either, so I returned it to my local Service Center and they exchanged it, after asking if I had brought along the charger, too. The new battery wouldn't recharge, so I took it back to the Service Center along with the charger. The problem was my charger, not my battery. The gentlemen there gave me other tips which will probably keep my Grass Hog going for another 5 years. Store it inside in the winter. Inside does not mean in the garage, because that can still be cold enough to freeze the battery. I was lucky because I have an attached garage (slightly warmer) and I kept my Grass Hog on the charger all winter even though I wasn't using it. If you need to take it in for service, take the charger as well as the battery.

These "Snakes" are missing in action.
|
Here's some advice: if you're gonna make a movie called "Snakes on a "Train", you might NOT wanna save the snakes until the last 5 minutes. Even more so about the ending, which involves not a Snake on a Train, but rather a train in a snake. No doubt about it.A die-hard fan of SNAKES ON A PLANE, I rented SOAT, and thought it would be good. Instead, it was just worse than I thought it would be. Here's what's wrong:1. Firstoff, let me say that this movie is BORING- The snakes aren't even unleashed until the ending.2. When I see a film with a tagline that includes "1000 venomous vipers", I EXPECT THERE TO BE VIPERS. THere was only one viper and the rest are just ball pythons and Garter Snakes (WTF?)3. The characters are underdeveloped, and totally, are boring.4. TERRIBLE S/FX! (Spoiler) WHen the chick turns into a basilisk at the end, the S/FX are terrible!So AVOID THIS AT ALL COSTS!

Worst book I have ever read
|
This is without doubt the worst novel I have ever read. Why I finished reading the book is beyond me. I had to grit my teeth and go for it. Too bad you have to choose a star rating. Zero should be an option. The events in the book had no realism whatever. Just one of many examples: Beau Borken murders a number of people in Montana. There is absolutely no reaction and no knowledge of anyone that these murders took place. No wife, no relations, no friends. No one cares. There is also no characterization. Every character is exactly the same. Each character speaks the same, right? And the complete stretch engaged in by the author to save Jack Reacher from commitment to a woman (undoubtedly to save him for future use) passes the border of ridiculous. The only benefit I received from this book was knowing that I will never read any books by those authors that supposedly gave the book a good review. My copy of the book is now in the trash where it belongs.

Progressive-Underground divas??? where's the vocal?
|
Not sure what made them decide this should be the subtitle for this compilation. As usual, Roland Belmares knows good dance music, but the vocal tracks are only sporadic, and while they're good tracks, it's just a surprise to find so many non-vocal tracks. Track 1 is a full Sandy B vocal track, as is Loleatta's club hit. Helpless by Sky Box is a pretty good vocal track that samples "Don't You Want Me" by Human League. But for the most part, we're given only an occasional vocal sample. Time listing:1. Nothingness (9:03)2. Filters (7:15)3. What comes around goes around (6:22)4. Give the DJ a break (5:50)5. Music for the masses (6:56)6. Sexy (6:54)7. Helpless (5:13)8. Don't hold back (7:06)9. Give me more (6:09)10. nova pain (5:55)11. you're beautiful (6:15)

Another wonderful novel by Rick
|
Once again, Richard Paul Evans takes me to another place. He captured all five senses in Peru. My mind is still there and my heart wants to help the The Sunflower orphanage. In The Sunflower, just as he did in The Last Promise, Richard Paul Evans has a knack for making a different country come to life. I feel like I know Christine and Paul and I would like them as friends. He also changed my perception of South America. He made an adventure there seem real and not as scary as I thought it would be. He made me want to sign up for the same trip Christine and Jessica took. The events that brought Christine and Paul to Peru felt so real, I experienced it right along with them.

Smells like a wet dog, and I got soaked!

This is the biggset waste of paper ever. The whole book is nothing but an over sized CD cover. Do not waste your money. Mine is lining the bottom of a brid cage! This book was tossed together to make a fast buck without any reguard to the game player. Just because we like to play video games,does not make us stupid. This book is insult, and a disgraceful ploy to remove some extra cash from game players pockets. There other guides I have found to be very helpful. This one should be recalled like an 1972 Ford Pinto, before it does some real damage. It does not show or even speak of the 6th Lic. Skull and cross bones is my rating. The photos are even "grain" and all they had to do was copy them off the disk. GT2 is a fun game, it has some gliches, but they are minor ones compaired to this book. Remember a back-up save card is a must. Good Luck - Keep the Rubber on the road, and the Shinny side up

Junk!
|
My grandmothers had good meat grinders. I thought this would be comparable. What a mistake!! It's a piece of junk. The workmanship on the product is extremely poor! There are burrs on the metal that cut into the surface you mount the grinder to. The handle and the blades do not fit securely because the alignment is off. It's impossible to turn the handle (even when attempting to grind potatoes and onions). Not one piece of beef went through the grinder without plugging. And, any "juice" generated when attempting to grind, leaks out the back (again because of poor alignment and fit of the grinder components). It's true...they don't make things like the used to. Perhaps I can use this as a boat anchor. I'd look at garage or estate sales if you want an old fashioned heavy duty meat grinder!

Worst movie ever
|
I don't care how punk rock this film is. I love punk and I'm a fan of Tim Armstrong and AFI. However, this film is the worst thing I've ever paid to see. I was at the San Francisco premiere and it was nice meeting everyone involved in the movie. When it came to watching the movie itself, I was completely disappointed. I like indie films, stupid humor, and the concept of DIY as much as the next person. However, this film was just done in such poor taste. The editing is terrible. The story is hard to follow. There's almost nothing I like about the movie. The only real funny part is hearing Davey Havok of A.F.I. be the voice of the gay hairstylist. Other than that, I wouldn't recommend that anyone buy this. Try to borrow it from someone else if you can help it. It's not worth $21.99. To be honest, I'd give it less than 1 star if I could but that's the lowest that the rating will go.

Nine months and the honeymoon is over
|
The features were great. I thought I had the answer to my PC data portability problem. Having it all online is okay. Having it all online and in my pocket--now that was progress. Speed, performance, she had it all. Then 9 months into the romance she completely let me down. I have had to reset this thing more times then I can count. And just last week it seems to have totally locked up for good. I lost all my data on the PPC and it will not resync with my desktop. I place it in the cradle and nothing happens. That's not new but before if I turned it off and on a few times, perhaps slide it in and out of the cradle a few times and perhaps rebooted my PC eventually my PC and PPC would again notice each other. This time nothing works.This thing should last longer and be more reliable. All the features in the world are of no use at all if the thing is not reliable. For it to only be 9 months old and quit on me says "Don't waste your money."

Falls flat
|
This was a much hyped book that falls flat. It starts off really good with great chemistry between the hero and heroine. But begins to steadly decline through the book. You find out he is an ex seal & she is a interior designer. The author in the next 25-30 pages takes you through attraction, dinner, sex and immediate regret on the heroines part. They did not even make it to a bed or for the night! It then skips to someone sneaking into her house to kill her. She calls hero instead of cop bestfriend. It goes down hill from there because you do not understand this change. She goes into hiding but we never know the reasoning until the last chapter. Where the hero allows her to go into protective custody against his wishes. Not worth full price! Book 2 is a step up for author. Skip this go straight too book 2. Mo you will not be lost! :)

JUST ABOUT PERFECT
|
I loved CONGO, very much. It is extreamly suspensful and well written. It is about a tour guide person named Munro, Karen Ross, from a compony called ETRS, and Peter Elliot, with the gorilla, Amy which he tought sign language going to the Congo to look for the lost city of Zinj where there are specific diamonds called type IIb diamonds. They discover a new type of gorilla on the way and could prevent a World War III with these diamonds. It is funny because of all the "top of the line" computer equiptment which they talk about (the book was written in 1980). But anyway, there is a part in the book where everything is lost. EVERYTHING! The team can't take credit for finding ANYTHING. The book got exiting again but I was so disappointed that I dropped the 5th star I was about the give the book. The end also kind of dropped short. You were stuck, you wanted to know more but you couldn't. Besides tese 2 problems, this is one of the best books I have ever read!

Sludge taken to extremes....
|
My first reaction to this when I put it on (bought without hearing first), was to laugh. I couldn't believe the sound that was coming out of my speakers. Imagine the cheapest, [...] transister radio, turned up way too loud, then amplify that sound,beef up the bottom end, and uh yeah now you have the guitar sound. I should state for the record (no pun intended) that I am not strictly a doom, or even metal fan exclusively. I tend to go with whatever rattles my chain, whatever "genre" it comes from. And as I listened with awe, my chain did indeed rattle (as did my fillings). The songs improve as the CD crawls onward,,,, and onward. As a non partaker of drugs, I don't enjoy all stoner bands, but the ones i enjoy, I LOVE. It just has to stand alone without chemical enhancement. So I have to say this definitely ROCKS. It's just that it rocks like a Brontosaurus on Mogadon. So by all means buy, but don't take it too seriously, and laugh along as your stereo self distructs!

Why aren't you organized?
|
The analysis section of Morgenstern's book stuck with me and it's why I like this book; why aren't you organized? Space issues? Perfectionist-fear-of-failure? Or is your system too organized and is it just impossible to maintain? After you go through this part of the book, the rest is common sense, but it does provide A PLAN, and a plan is key to getting anything done.The plan is more or less:1. Sort2. Purge3. Assign a home4. Containerize5. EqualizeMany other organization books have exactly the same steps. But the difference here is in knowing what failed you before you start out, and the idea of finding things you might need (an extra clothes rod in your closet, crates for files you aren't using but want to store, etc) before you embark on the clean-up. If you have a really hard time divesting yourself of "stuff", you might need another book on how to get out of the clutter habit, but this one is a good start.

too long
|
I like babies just as much as the next person, but I just didn't enjoy this movie much. There was no narration, minimal on-screen talking. Just babies. Babies from here, babies from there, just being babies. Which is fine and dandy by me, I probably would have enjoyed it had it been a 30 minute show on TV, but an 80 minute movie was too much for me. I got bored halfway through and would have rather turned it off. I left it on, hoping something interesting may happen.. it never does. I guess maybe I was expecting too much from a movie about babies.Baby Human: Geniuses in Diapersis very interesting, though. It gets into the inner-workings of babies, and you learn lots of interesting things about them. But, if all you're looking for is a bunch of "cute" babies to mindlessly stare at for nearly and hour and a half, this may be just what you're looking for. Not my cup of tea, however. I would not recommend this.
