2 | A not-so-futuristic apocalypse | Black/Red/White (The Circle Trilogy) by Ted Dekker certainly needs no applause from me, but I'm giving it anyway. WOW. Frightening to see how the end of humankind could so easily happen. These are very well done, fast paced, twisty-turny, and just when I'd think, "What next??" well, Mr. Dekker would certainly show me. It's a story of redemption, but not gushing with theology. It's a not-so-futuristic apocalyptic story as well as a spear & sword adventure tale, woven seemlessly together. This is an amazing tale and I'm hungry now for "Green". And the "Lost" books. And the Paradise novels. And... | 11 | [

1 | Can't imagine a worse Poirot | I was totally repulsed by Albert Finney in the role of Poirot. He had absolutely none of the characteristics of Christie's Poirot...none. Did the director ever read a Christie? Finney brought no dignity to the role at all. All I could think of during the movie was how inappropriate the casting of Poirot was. I even began to dread every appearence of Finney!!About the rest of the movie: So many good actors...so little direction. Too much earnestness brought into the role resulted in quite a bit of over-acting. Particularly from Wendy Hiller (Princess Dratwhatshername and from one of my favorite actresses Ingrid Bergmann. Even Sean could do with better direction.I stuck with the movie because it was a Christie. A waste of 2 good hours. | 11 | [

1 | Give it an A - For ABSOLUTE JUNK! | Installed the wireless G router (Dell GX750 desktop/Win95) & matching notebook card (new Dell lattitude C610 laptop/WinXP). 1st install went easy on both systems and everything was up and running in about 30 min....but this only lasted for about 10 minutes! First the notebook stopped working. Then the desktop locked up! Tried uninstall & reinstall 4 times on both machines. Spent almost 6 hours on the helpline talking to India (4 calls & lots of wait even at 4 am EST on Saturday!) Notebook install says I need a file called LSBCMNDS.SYS but its NOT on any CD that came with the hardware. Tried to download from Linksys.com & they didn't have it in the driver file either! After downloading and unzipping their useless driver file my desktop system locks up everytime I try to access Linksys.com! Maybe they just don't want to hear about it anymore. Save your money, this combo is DEFINITELY NOT ready for primetime. | 11 | [

1 | It is true! It is possible for your ears to bleed! | All I can say is wow. And that's not a good wow. That is a terrible, kill me please kind of wow. This CD is sooo bad. All the songs sound the same and it is so obvious that ol' Hil Hil can't really sing and her horrid screeching is covered up by digitable manipulation. But yes, I was a fan of her before purchasing this CD. I couldn't wait for this CD to come out, and I was heavily disappointed. And she doesn't even write her own music! Look at all these struggling artists out there who can actually sing and write their own stuff! There aren't any words in the English language to express my hatred for this CD. The only uses it has are as a coaster and a frisbee. I really hope Hilary's music career doesn't last much longer, but knowing my luck, it will. | 12 | [

2 | A great devotion time starter | This is the book I use to warm up before reading the Bible in the mornings. It's definitely a jump-starter, and some. It's practical- easy to read and apply, with good biblical and personal examples. Theologically, it's very sound. Joel motivates you to get into God's Word daily by showing you how critical, and vital it is for one's daily survival and all-round success. Highly recommend it. I own 2 copies and buying a 3rd one for my wife. It's a shame that it's out of print!! Hopefully, God will bring it back! God will bless as you study and do His Word. Joshua 1:8, Hebrews 4:12, James 1:25. | 11 | [

2 | Ok - now for a review from a South African who grew up with zulu music! | Only 4 stars bc. of the imperfect audio/video production. Nevertheless, an awesome dvd - esp. the live Paris concert. What is it about the French that make them so appreciative of all African music?!Johnny Clegg is a Zulu soul in an Englishman's body - plain and simple. This dvd captures the sincerity, modesty, compassion and inspirational energy of this icon of trans-apartheid fusion. When white folk were talking and complaining about the injustices of apartheid, Clegg was learning to speak Zulu, make music and dance the soul of the Zulu people. His music captures the triumph of joy over suffering that characterizes this people - the ability to see the spark of sunshine in the greyest of days.The bonus videos have been criticized for being amateurish. I personally think they are wonderful, but then I am a person who can't stand the over-produced slick MTV videos you see these days. The Nelson Mandela moment wil touch your soul. | 11 | [

2 | hey, it works.... | I have had this camera for a little over a year now, and it hasn't broken. For me this is saying a whole lot. I typically keep it in my backpack which goes everywhere with me. I have had beer spilled all over it at parties. Taken it to the beach. Slammed it against rocks hiking. Fallen on it skiing and it still hasn't broken. For an active 20yr old kid it can't be beat. I haven't had problems with indoor pictures as others have said. We also have used it to take pictures wakeboarding from a tube behind the boat. Where we discovered one more advantage....it floats | 11 | [

2 | A MUST READ BOOK! | This is a terrific book. It is set in the future in Africa. Tendai, Rita, and Kuda who are the sons and daughter of Amadeus Matsika, the country's Cheif of Security. Matsika has wiped out almost all of the gangs except one, the Masks. After being kidnapped by the She Elephant, Tendai, Rita, and Kuda have to find a way home or they might fall victim to a terrible fate. They finally escape with the help of Trashman, a man in his twenties with the mind of a small child. They are taken to a place called Resthaven. Resthaven is like a small country, but it is set in the past. They live in the ways of the ancestors. After the children are found missing, Matsika's wife hires three private eyes, literally. These three have special powers. One has super strong eyes, another super strong ears, and finally super long limbs. As this story unfolds, see how the tale of Tendai, Rita, and Kuda changes your perspective on life. | 13 | [

2 | I would give it more if I could | This has to be the best cd that came out in 02. I bought the cd back in august, and i haven't stopped listening to it yet. It has a great blend of slower songs, and songs that will make ya jump and go crazy too. Berts voice is one of the best by far. He can scream with the best of them, but can also sing so amazingly. Every song on here is a hit and you can listen all the way through. Each song is unique and none really sound alike. They all have their own good qualities. My favorites are Poetic Tragedy, Greener with the Scenery, Noise and Kisses,The Taste of Ink, and Peices Mended, oh and even though its not on the cd, another great song by them is Just A Little. Ive seen them live twice so far, and they are so good in concert, if youre lucky enough to have them come to your town make sure you dont miss them. Theres not much else to say but these guys are one of the best bands around, go pick up the cd. | 11 | [

2 | A wonderful story of early man. | I was introduced to this book this summer by my aunt. She recommended it as one of her favourites. So, I decided to give it a try. I found the beginning a little slow moving. Once I got into it I couldn't put it down. The story is starts at the begging of man and is based on the evolution of man. Ayla, the main character is left to die because her clan was killed in an earthquake. She is adopted by a passing clan and brought to live with them. The story deals with her acceptance into a very different community. She is cast as an outcast from her clan because she is different. In fact she is one step above them on the evolution scale. In the end she is exiled from the only family she has ever known and goes on to search for people like her. I enjoyed this book alot,especially learning about different plants and their many uses. Jean M. Auel wrote a wonderful book and I can't wait to read the rest of the series. | 14 | [

1 | I tried, I really tried | This was a hard book to get through. In fact, I didn't. It was frustrating on several points: 1. I didn't know I had to order the bookmarks separately when I ordered it. I wanted to use it right away. And I tried to, but she kept referencing the bookmarks and ribbons, so I was perpetually lost. I still haven't ordered them. 2. The humor was a bit annoying ..ok.. VERY annoying. As much as I know it was tongue in cheek, I guess I was hoping for something that was a bit more straight-forward. I tried to skip over the banter only to later realize I was missing a valuable tidbit. I felt like a captive audience to a bad comedy routine. So I've set it down for now in hopes I can pick it up again when i can be more charitable and open-minded. I commend Ms. Nugent for taking up the task though. Maybe she could rewrite a version for dodos who have no sense of humor and just want the facts? | 16 | [

1 | Toolbox Murder | I read the reviews and I actually believed them! I can't believe I paid $20 bucks for this movie. I LOVE scary/horror movies. They are my absolute favorites. Then I come across this movie and start reading the reviews and think "WOW! I found a good scary movie that wasn't in wide release." So I go out and buy it, based on these people's reviews. WHAT WERE THEY THINKING? This movie is S-L-O-W and never ever made me jump even once. And I was ready and anticipating it getting better. It never did. If it weren't for my wife I would have turned it off before the end. I was wasting my time. But we waited it out and were both so very dissapointed. I wish I could get my 20 bucks back. And most of all the time I spent watching this TERRIBLE movie. Please believe me an not these other "reviewers" and KNOW that this movie is a S-T-I-N-K-E-R!!! | 18 | [

2 | Excellent option to more expensive phones | These give great high and mid sound, the bass is there but for those who listen to the more digital type bass these are not for you. I listen to a lot of jazz so I want to hear everything, even the stroking of the strings between actually playing a note, the inhale and exhale of a sax player, etc.. These are just perfect for this type of detail. I will not write something negative just to be negative. These leak music because they are supposed to,"OPEN AIR" headphones. Please buy "NOISE CANCELLING " If this is a negative for you then you had no idea what you were buying from the start. They have a retro look, this is their "SIGNITURE LOOK" . If this is a negative for you , then you have no idea about the Grado history. Grado is about sound quality, and less about looks....saves you money. I've had mine for 4 years and cannot do without them. I have a pair of Koss Portapros when I'm in the mood for digital bass. | 11 | [

1 | Poorly organized and incomplete | For some time, "Learning the Korn Shell" was the only source I had for k-shell programming. That was a bad idea. O'Reilly books are usually first-rate, but I guess they can't knock every pitch out of the park. I cannot recommend this book either as an introductory tutorial or as a reference. The first problem is that topics seem to be jumbled together, so that things are hard to find and to follow. Secondly, many subjects are either not covered at all, or are given the proverbial lick and a prayer. Even worse, the indexing is terrible. I find too many cases in which important things (like dot scripts, for instance) are simply not in the index, if they are covered at all in the text. Fortunately, there are alternatives to this book which I find much more satisfactory. By far the best is "The Korn Shell User and Programming Manual", by Anatole Olczak, an Addison-Wesley publication. It's pricey (about $50), but it's well-organized, complete, and very competently indexed. | 11 | [

1 | Sad, Sad, Sad | This movie is a sad illustration of many black brothers in America: lazy, displacing blame, and unable to love properly. Two children by two different women is drama. Why would you even want that? This movie is also a sad illustration of many of our sisters today. "He beats on me, he cheats on me, he talks down to me, but he loves me." "He just going through some things." Personally, Baby Boy was a little too ignorant for me. Ignorance was bliss throughout the entirety of the movie. I do think that Tyrese is a good actor though. I do appluad John Singleton for wanting to address this particular issue in society. I still think Boyz N' Tha Hood was his best movie. If you want to see every single negative stereotype a black person ever heard, then watch this movie. If you are tired of the typical African-American movie with it's stereotypes and unnecessary curse words in the place of the English language, then you probably need to watch something else. | 13 | [

2 | Cheap DVD player | This is my first DVD player. It's cheap and it has been working great for me so far. I wish it comes with an alternative color such as black because my other components (Tv, vcr, receiver) are black. The only odd thing about it is the remote control which I don't understand why. I can not power it on from my sofa which is about 15 feet away. I have to get close to the DVD player to power it on. Power off and all other buttons are OK from my sofa. May be APEX designers thought that the first thing people would do is to put in a DVD or change a DVD. In other to do that they have to be right in front of the DVD player. So no need to suck the alot of battery power to power the DVD player on. Who knows...may be it's a defect in the product. | 11 | [

1 | Function forgot it's Purpose... | As a storage container, this one is fine. As a pouring container, it lost 3 stars! Anywhere over half full and it's PLUESH! all over the place. I think they could have done better here. The size was perfect for me as I was storing sun tea with them. These were replacements for widemouth gal. glass jars that were too difficult to maneuver in my refrigerator. The handle on these was a plus, and the polycarb. made them lighter than glass. But now I use a 1 1/2 gal. polycarb. dispenser type (2.5"w x 14"d x 9"h)that I don't even have to remove from the refrigerator! Takes up less space that anything else you'd find. Got it at WallyWorld. | 15 | [

2 | LOVE this workout!!! | This dvd is my "me" time. I actually look forward to doing it. I have 3 kids and a full time job. I finally found something that helps me unwind and get in shape at the same time. I love the ballet style moves and the music. I think if you have any kind of dance background or even appreciate dance, this workout will be fun. Tracy is not fake and perky, but she still manages to make you feel great without fluff. It is challenging enough to make you feel like you really are pushing yourself and workin it! I have never been this small since high school, and this is only the beginning. I'm only doing this 3 times a week and another 2 days walking/jogging. If I would do everything she says (cardio and diet daily), I would be doing a lot better. This by itself is changing my body. You either love it, or you don't. Everyone has to find the right thing for them that they enjoy. | 14 | [

2 | Brand New Puts Out Another Stellar Album | I love Brand New. I have every one of their CDs and their sound changes on each album. This album is very chill and energetic. It's a weird mix, but they make it fit. Seriously, I believe Brand New keeps rock music alive. If it wasn't for them, I'd probably give up on rock. I love them. All 3 of their CDs have been masterpieces. Check every CD out and check brand new out live, they're amazing. I've seen them numerous amounts of times and don't intend to stop. I hope I get another 20 years out of them. ANOTHER ONE OF THE BEST ALBUMS OF 2006, in my opinion, not the best, but definitely on the list!STANDOUT TRACKS: Jesus Christ, Not the Sun, You Won't Know, Handcuffs, MillstoneAWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME CD!!

1 | Deceptive and Shallow "Politically Correct" Version | I am a huge fan of the original Hugh Lofting Dr. Dolittle and not this shallow abridged version. A good part of the story is cut and the history is mutilated. The illustrations are obviously not complete Hugh Loftings even though they still bear his name. Many of his illustrations have been cut and pasted blending them with some weird Victorian style prints. The result is a jumbled mishmash. As a kid, I'm offended that they would take a wonderful piece of literature and trample it with political correctness jargon. There are things said in the original version that I understand would not be appropriate today. But it was a part or our history. And it gives a great opportunity for discussions with parents. As for this story, what is left? The character depth is ruined. The vocabulary is rudimentary. Utter trash. Don't waste your time. Original unabridged or nothing. | 15 | [

2 | The last of the Jokers cards | Hell's Pit the final joker card. Violent J said it him self when he said that this album was not for Juggalos. I've been a loyal follower of ICP since '96. This album is raw and wicked. The album took on a new sound and went back to the horror rap roots. I'll admit that the songs are kinda stale but they are not suppose to fresh. Hell isn't fresh it's stale. The Videos on the dvd's are great. This album isn't meant to be liked, but I enjoy the clowns and all they do. This album is nothing like they've done before Juggalos looking for silly antics and guest spots will be disappointed, cause there isn't any. This album peeled my wig back so far I have to style the backs of my legs. What's next? Who knows. Just ride the stimutax and relax. | 14 | [

2 | The same and different | The first time I listend to it I was disappointed. I was hoping for Aja. I gave it a second chance and started to appreciate it for what it is, what they were trying to do. I started to hear the familiar arrangments and unique use of instruments and vocals in a new setting. The more I listen the more I like it. It's not Aja but the heratige is there. This IS some of there best work. The horns are GREAT! More pure Jazz I think. Almost Gothic has a flow to it that sucks me in and won't let go. Now I love it. | 11 | [

1 | Lacks detail and analytical depth | I was very disapointed in this book. It barely scratches the surface. The author refers to her "research" a couple of times in the text, however, it seems shallow. A true understanding and explination of the life and times of this controversial woman is seriously lacking. Not only did it lack analytical depth but it took a very biased (pro-Pompadour) approach. Therefore failing to convey the "Big Picture." There was no flow to the verse and it seemed disorganized. The author herself must have known this because she makes reference to the difficulty of organizing the life of Pompadour into an easily followed timeline. The pictures chosen do not help to glimpse into the world of Pompadour. While the author describes many portraits of her there is only one or 2 pics of her. None of which the author stated was the best likeness of her. For those wanting an understanding of the life of Pompadour and her world I would not recomend this book. | 12 | [

1 | Okay for hard cheeses, broke twice | I bought this because I was looking for an easier way to shred mozzarella cheese. I used tried all three blades, and was disappointed with the results. The fine blade, even though is designed for hard cheeses, worked best for all cheeses. Basically, I personally found the other two blades too much of a pain to bother with. The handle is awkward with no grip. Like the other reviewed mentioned, it is clumsy to use. The handle screws into the blade barrel. I stripped the treads on the handle while grating during normal use. (Won't turn, therefore, won't shred) KitchenAid was great and replaced the whole thing. Well, after a couple months more, the threads on my new one chipped during normal use, leaving the whole thing again useless. I didn't bother getting it replaced because it wasn't worth it.Before it broke, however, it did work okay for parmesan cheese. | 11 | [

2 | Does the Job Well! | Just a couple of days ago I upgraded my PC speakers with this item that I saw at very reasonable price from Amazon. The improvement is extremely noticeable. I didn't want a window-buster as we have a home theater system in the living room. I just wanted something for the office/den that I could listen to my music downloads on and enjoy a more realistic sound from my flight simulator. This unit more than satisfies both needs. The speakers have a clear quality with more than adequate power. I would recommend to anyone who wants an appropriate speaker system for his/her Windows Media Center not to purchase anything less than this unit. This great little inexpensive item works for me. In addition, I received this from Amazon in only 2 & 1/2 working days after I ordered it. That's pretty fast! I am very, very pleased with the whole deal! | 11 | [

1 | Not worth | I am a person who trust the user reviews and blindly buy the product if it has good reviews. But that turned wrong on this product. I wonder how people gave 5 star rating for this product. It doesn't solve the purpose at all. The motor is so weak. You can hear its struggle as you move it. And obviously the suction force is very feeble. The only pros is the auto-rewind feature, which is really good. I had an Eureka prior to this, which was very powerful with self-propulsion, and a knob to switch between hose and floor. It is better to have both separate so the suction power would be great. It wasn't expensive either, I don't remember the price but it was almost close to this hoover's price. I wish I bought the Eureka again. I would not recommend this product to anyone. | 13 | [

1 | Poor quality DVD | Compared the the other version of this film on Amazon (the Tamil uncut special edition, or the other version that is 2-DVDs), this is a poor DVD. First of all, it is a dub. And a poor one at that. Even if you can't speak Tamil, its nice when the mouth movements match the voice. This doesn't happen in this DVD. Second, this is a DVD-5. It is highly compressed and doesn't look good. If you have a small TV, it might not matter for you. Anyway, I was disappointed with this DVD, so I took a chance on the other one which cost $5 more, but it was worth the different. Just my $.02. The movie itself is great. They could have cut out about 20 minutes of the non-action, but its a fantastic film nevertheless. Highly recommended movie - just not this DVD. | 13 | [

The book started out a little slow initially, but the author quickly built in the characters and the history behind the story. I am 54 years old and loved reading it. It was like watching a movie. Lots of action and intrigue. There are surprises with outcomes. It took me a few days to read it. Nice book. Seems like the first in a series. I definately will be reading the others. | 11 | [

2 | Wonderful | My 8 week son is very active. He loves to move his arms and legs all day long. So, I knew a Play Gym would be perfect for him. He loves this one. He can kick and grab at the hanging toys for up to an hour. It's very colorful. There is so much for him to look at. Don't think for a minute that this is too busy or that there is too much going on. He makes all sorts of happy grunting and gurgling sounds, so I know he is being entertained. He isn't laying on his tummy very often yet, but that just means he can grow into this toy. I highly recommend this Play Gym! | 11 | [

2 | Great computer for the price | I bought this computer in Aug. 07 and love it. It was slow until I uninstalled some of the software that I don't use that came along with it; i.e. games that you have to purchase and products from Google that I didn't care for. It is mobile enough to take along on a flight to watch a DVD (which we did). The DVD controls are located on the left side of the keyboard and handy to use. It came with Windows Vista Premium and is very easy to understand and use. The one time I had to phone Toshiba about a question, I actually spoke to a real person. Since purchasing this laptop, I rarely use our desktop computer. I was a bit nervous about installing the wireless internet, but mine came with a free router (D-Link) and I was able to set it up myself. I mainly use this computer for e-mails and internet use. The reason I purchased Toshiba (other than the great price) was that it rated extremely well in Consumer Reports. | 11 | [

2 | Starting from square #1 | I purchased Tovolo silicone ice cube trays for one reason, I was tired of sticking, cracking, broken ice cubes. Knowing if I bought the same old things, they too would at sometime get old and become useless. So I went looking for something better. Then I found Tovolo silicone trays. These trays are not perfect, but they do work. The square (yes, square) ice cubes come out perfect everytime; so far. They also seem denser, if thats possible. The square shape makes the cube last longer in you beverage. Mostlikely because they melt more evenly than normal cubes. The slight drawback are you have to push out each cube. There is no "twist and empty" action. But the only real drawback is their soft and flimzy. You need two hands to FILL & TRANSPORT them to a flat surface in your freezer. I'll deal with that!!LarryAllentown, Pa. | 15 | [

2 | Thanks!! | I bought this product for my rats. They were able to get out through the bars, so I had to cover the whole cage with black screen. Fastened on with 100 tiny black zip ties. That was fine. It looks very good, and the rats love it. It is the largest most luxurious home 2 rats ever had! I also bought a pet tunnel which was recommended and the rats sleep in there. Awesome product but has to be customized for smaller rodents like mine. Absolutely no complaints or negatives. Great! Thanks! | 11 | [

1 | Horrible! | I wish I had taken a look at the reviews here before buying this mill. What a waste of time and money. I'm sending mine back while I still can. It does none of the things it's supposed to. It's grinds are completely inconsistant. No matter what the setting, you will get a grind that ranges from coarse to fine powder. With mine it is about 1/3 fine powder. Worse yet, it somehow gives this fine powder an electric charge that makes it impossible to get it from it's container to the pot without it flying all over the place. What a mess! What a piece of crap. I see there's a new model out now, and it looks like they've changed the look a little to hide the fact that it's still the same piece of junk that this one is. Beware! | 12 | [

1 | That birds and bees joke | 9 1/2 WEEKS reminded me of that birds and bees joke. That's where the Dad told the son about sex in very graphic terms, finishing by asking, "Have you got any questions?" Then the kid says, "Yeh, Dad. How do you keep from laughing?" Well, this movie was a little bit funny about the sex parts. A guy on a bar stool sort of blushed when Basinger and Rourke engaged in some foreplay at the bar. Mostly, however, the movie "story" was demeaning to women. It was not entertaining. It was boring. I give it two stars because of the locations. The movie shows off a side or two of New York City, and the evening photography was excellent. | 11 | [

1 | Disappointed, again. Makes me sad! | I have been a die-hard Tony Iommi supporter for decades. When Ozzy left, I supported Iommi. When Dio left, I supported Iommi. I followed Sabbath, and still listen to my Sabbath cd's. But the three Iommi cd's that I have purchased, including this one, FUSED, have all disappointed me. In this case, it's more about Glenn Hughes, whose voice I find annoying on this effort.I would love to have seen Iommi team up with someone like David Lee Roth, or when Rob Halford was still roaming solo. Tony needs a GREAT vocalist, and he comes out strong. Tony is a great performer, love his riffs, but they are drowned out by the annoying Glenn Hughes on this album. Heck, even someone like Joe Lynn Turner would have been an improvement on Glenn Hughes. Isn't Vince Neil looking for a job these days?Ug, so yeah, this album is ONLY for the die hard Tony Iommi and/or Glenn Hughes fan. Otherwise, by an older Sabbath album. | 11 | [

1 | Poorly made product | This is the first time we've actually had a product by this company. This company needs to test all the parts in their products. It took three adults to put almost the whole thing together. The screw that goes on the seat and on the handle did not fit. We took it into a toys r us store and their assembler took an hour and still couldn't put it together. We were told by the store manager that they didn't have a special tool available to them at the time and to pick up the trike a day later. She also told me that if they were unable to assemble the trike that we'd get to exchange for another trike. I'm waiting to pick up the toy.At this point I'm extremely upset, because my 2 yr. old son loved the buttons on the trike and he hasn't even had a chance to ride this trike. I'm definitely calling the manufacturer to complain. I wouldn't recommend this toy to anyone. Save yourself the hassle and grief, and buy a trike from a well known brand. ZC, California | 12 | [

1 | Party Line | This is probably the worst and most negative book I have ever read concerning animals. It is a party line using statistics that are outdated and unproven and nothing but hearsay by those who are in the business of destroying animals for profit. Her concept of dog behavior is way off base. She obviously is listening to others and has little or no hands on experience and if so with breeds that are cited in the book but not part of her experience. It is a shame that such a book will reach those who are seeking real help will receive negative information that is not true. Associations and professionals that exploit animals for profit are usually not very good sources and always crunch the numbers to accommodate their own gain. Example: neutering and spaying dogs. All nonsense. I find this book offensive but will keep it as a reference to the negative side and an example of what is not true. I was required to choose a rating star but I had to choose 1 as minus is not available. Barbara Sanders | 11 | [

1 | How did this get to be a best seller? | I belong to a book club of 15 highly educated women. We picked this book based on publishers' reviews. We cannot comprehend how it got such great reviews. With the exception of one group member, all of us thought the book was shallow, contrived and irritating. We did not find the author likable. None of us would ever want to take a trip with her because of her endless chatter. She did not illicit sympathy from the group, we think because she just wasn't real. She skidded on the surface with little depth of feelings. Her story might have been more believable if we hadn't known about her $200,000 advance to write the book. It seems the money was her real motivation, and not to honestly share her journey. We gave it 14 thumbs down, 1 thumb up. | 11 | [

1 | Don't buy this piece of junk. | I cannot describe how lousey this printer is. It is slower than a 1985 dial up modem. Two minutes to do a printed page in black and white. A color photo of 4x6 takes 5 minutes. This is on a HP Pavilion POC computer. So I tried it on my G4 Mac that has an excellent 1115 Photosmart on it. The 7350 would not work with OSX until I downloaded the latest driver from HP which took an hour as I only have dial-up. The printer works a little faster on the Mac, but not by much. The photo quality is not near as good as the HP1115 or Epson I have. I cannot recommend this piece of junk. Oh by the way, HP support is non-exhistant unless you pay first? ... | 12 | [

2 | really smooth, but needs some mods | I can give this 4 stars only because I got it for $350. Otherwise, get one with a laser that's not overpriced, like the Makita. I added an aftermarket laser. I also made a clamp for it that sits in the well near the fence, since the Metabo clamp is also pricey. But you'll want a clamp. Now I have a saw that is a joy to use. The blade that came with it is top notch. The good blade and well-designed arm allow me to make really smooth cuts. Now I'm thinking of changing the resistors in the switch to decrease the braking time - it's virtually brakeless. Lastly, it would be nice to have extenders for the base for holding long stock. But they'd probably be pricey! | 11 | [

2 | SCORPS STILL STING!! | I have to say that this is an impressive DVD. You get the entire Crazy World Tour video, the First Sting video, plus bits and pieces of 'To Russia With Love'.I do wish they would have just combined both videos back to back like Def Leppard did with their DVDs, but it's still awesome. The only annoying thing is in between the live songs, the screen fades and the other songs start. I don't know if the original Crazy World video had this or not, but it's annoying.Of course this DVD has Wind Of Change on it. I finally saw it after seeing it once like 11 years ago on MTV when I was younger. I'm only 22. It did not disappoint me.Overall the only disappointment I have is that the scorps cut out a lot of footage that made 'To Russia with Love' great. If only they would combine all their vhs videos. First Sting, World Wide Live, To Russia With Love, & Crazy World. That would be a bonus!! | 11 | [

1 | Genuine Time Waster! Trash! | I thought this was going to be an intense, suspenseful, action-packed show. Wrong! It was slow, and full of stupid people. Great acting talent wasted on worthless characters. I couldn't feel sorry for the "heroine" or fear the "badguy". I wanted the cops to put them both in a room together to watch this movie and put them both out of their misery. What were supposed to be serious scenes had me at a loss because I wasn't sure if I wanted to laugh or throw a brick at the TV! There were times that I could almost see the actors trying not to laugh while trying to be serious. It is labled a "dark comedy" but the only thing funny about it is how someone thought it should be made into a movie. The only surprise in it was how awful the movie was. The execution of a decent idea was sloppy, trashy, and choppy. This is definitely one DVD I will enjoy putting in the microwave rather than watching it again. | 12 | [

2 | 12 Billion Times Better Than Cuisinart Grind & Brew!!! | I bought this when my noisy and messy Cuisinart Grind & Brew stopped grinding and brewing. This machine is absolutely amazing. (All of my comments are based on a comparison to the original Cuisinart Grind & Brew.) The grinder (not really a mill) is much much quieter than the Cuisinart. It no longer sounds like an F16 taking off in my kitchen! You can't even hear it two rooms away. There are fewer parts to clean each time (5 compared to 7). Not one molecule of the grounds escape the grinding chamber (the Cuisinart sprayed them all over my counter.)My only gripes? Instead of a paper filter you are forced to use the permanent one, thus it is slightly more of a pain to clean - but I get to save some dough on filters. The coffee isn't very strong. I end up using one scoop to every four cups of water instead of one scoop to every six. | 12 | [

The tension was there thru the whole book and I lost a lot of sleep during the final chapters trying to finish it before I went to bed. This was a book constantly on the edge and I enjoyed it very much. | 11 | [

1 | BEWARE!!! | This slide was fun while it lasted. I am a mom to 3 kids. At the time we got to use this my kids were 1, 3 and 7 years old. We bought this waterslide last summer. We stored it really good for the winter. It is now June (second summer that we would get to use it) took the waterslide back out a couple of weeks ago. There is rips all over the seems. So now the slide cannot inflate enough to even let the kids slide on it. There is air seaping out of it everywhere! Way to much air to even patch it. The white hose part shoots off of the orange piece it goes on. So I had to rig that to stay on. That broke a couple of months after we had it. The second tunnel you go under does not stay up at all! It just falls forward. This slide is alot of fun for the kids. But beware because it is very pricey to last just 1 summer. | 17 | [

1 | Just plain cheap. | I got this as a gift and didnt like it right away. It felt cheap, doesnt seem to have enough pressure to make espresso. Instead it appears to make just a 1/4 cup of coffee. Usually in espresso because its under pressure, you get a almost dark, baby poop brown liquid or foamy substance that comes out with the espresso. With this one it just comes out like normal coffee. The controls for steam are lame. It has an adjustment knob but the steam only goes on when its cranked all the way to high. Thats it, no medium or low steam. Because only the high steam seems to work you end up with a cup of just foam real quick. Im going back to my cheapo mr coffee espresso maker. It makes it just fine and is less than half the price of this one. | 11 | [

2 | Fair to Sunny Skies | Somewhere In The Sun is a welcomed addition to any 80s pop culture fan's collection. This is a solid selection of Dream Academy's best songs. Granted, Dream Academy had only three CD albums. SOMEWHERE IN THE SUN collects the best of those recordings and with the exception of several omissions from the band's debut album, this is near perfect. A DIFFERENT KIND OF WEATHER was disappointing. REMEMBRANCE DAYS was good. But, DREAM ACADEMY is a gem. A perfect classic which everyone should own. This BEST OF CD takes the best from the 2nd and 3rd CD albums and adds PLEASE PLEASE LET ME GET WHAT I WANT. Bottom Line: This is a fine start and perhaps a perfect Dream Academy CD, but one should definitely own the act's debut CD [DREAM ACADEMY] because it never misses the mark. No filler, just pure pop perfection. | 11 | [

1 | Duped! | Unlike the previous customer review, I stuck this thing out to the end. I wasted my time. I bought it bbecause it was purported to be about the Lake District in WWII, but it was hardly that. I've been to the Enlish Lake District many times, though I doubt Mr. Busch EVER has. He captures none of its Wordsworthian beauty. The back of the jacket has praise from people nobody's ever heard of, or certainly I haven't. Worse there is a picture of the author on the rear flap. Very smug, it seems to shout at the reader "Gotcha to pay money for this, didn't I?" The book is a mess, transitions absent, characters self-pitying, scenes wailing. I've read Mr. Busch before and liked him. Doubt, after this one, I ever will again. It was just an awful experience, esp. when my reading time is precious to me. JKC | 14 | [

2 | Excellent reading for the non-military person | I'm a History major, however I am not a military person. I have found after years of reading military history books that much emphasis is placed on this squad attached to that platoon related to the other battalion, and on a litany of troop movements. This book thankfully downplays that. The troop movements are covered in this book but not to the point of numbing the reader. This is an excellent read and extremely informative and entertaining. U.S. Troops ingaged in pitched battles with regular Russian troops on Russian soil, AMAZING!!! Why isn't this covered in school, why don't we hear more about this. Because we pulled out before completing many of the stated goals. I can not praise this book enough, it is a fantastic book it's 4+ stars. I held off giving it 5 because I like to reserve that for the truly tremendous books. Anyone interested in some of the more obscure aspects of our nations history should read this book. EXCELLENT WORK MR. HALLIDAY!!!! | 15 | [

1 | When they work they work well...but they do not work | With two of them, you would suppose that just maybe...one would work if the other is used a bit and peters out. That is not the case. They really are pretty much a single usage item. The vivid color remains for a very short duration...and it is virtually impossible to use them on anything but craft papers...such as for a poster touch up. If you try to mark anything that is at all porous...it goes dry. If you try to write on a hard surface, better get it correct fast, as it soon stops writing all together...and no amount of shaking, or waiting for it to revive, will make the slightest difference. Once it has made its' single line...it is all done functioning. Not only are they extremely short lived, but the quality of the lines it writes, also decrease with time...until there is a barely noticeable line at all. Not exactly a high quality product. Save your money. Generally I like my sharpies..but hate these...as they simply do not work at all well. | 11 | [

1 | where is the love? | Okay . . . I picked this up thinking I was going to get one of those typical beach reads . . . you know -- girl works at some ridiculously well paying job in London doing some kind of work that allows her to somehow meet a man that can't possibly exist in nature -- good looking, sensitive, they have great chemistry and all that. But that's not what this is. This really isn't a love story at all -- despite the title. I wasn't really feelin' this at all.

1 | NOT WHAT I THOUGHT | i have a feeling this was a really good movie. borders and amazon need to state the fact CLEARLY when a movie is in a foreign language. this movie was in french. now i have no problem in the movie houses reading english at the bottom but in this case, it was rough. i have no clue what the story line was about since i was so busy reading the english. if a story is in a language other than english, all it would take is that fact. FRENCH w/ENGLISH SUBTITLES WOULD TAKE CARE OF IT, but no one does that. i also would like to contact a human at borders but evidently they are just too busy to talk with a customer. i have about 400 movies, most of them from borders/amazon so i consider myself a good customer. all i ask is a "contact us button" but evidently no chance of that. i don't suppose this will reach the review site because of all this but what does one do except just quitting of ordering all these movies from a company that just doesn't care about the buyers.gary in az. | 11 | [

2 | They're even better live... | Just adding my .02 to all the rest of you great SW fans who've been here before me. I heard SW on the radio back in the early 90's..."What do I have to do?" from W,B,B+P and I just loved it. Bought the CD and loved the whole thing esp. "So Wrong". Then, 4 long years later comes "Darkest Days" and it blows W,B,B+P away! And I have the chance to see them up close and personal in a small local club. And let me tell you if you don't know: they rock live! The energy, the sound, the light-show! What a blast! And their sound was awesome-- so often bands just tyr to be so loud, but they were perfect. you could understand almost every word Chris Hall uttered and hear every spooky effect from the keyboards and programming. If they're coming to you town (check Stabbing Westward www.stabbingwestward.com if that html don't work) go and SEE THEM you will not be disappointed. Save Yourself! | 14 | [

2 | Make It So | While browsing through one of the rubber stamping magazines, I saw an ad for Holy Moly Mackeroly. I was intrigued. It said, "....from 3 Art Stamps to the Smithsonian..". I had to have the book. The publisher of the magazine forgot to include where to find the book. Fortunately, I emailed them and they humbly asked for forgiveness and gave me the information I needed to get the book in my hands.The book quickly arrived. I opened it with anticipation. I sat down and started to read. I finished the first reading in a weekend. This book has changed my life and I believe if you are a creative person, it can change your life too. It has some simple steps to move forward into taking your art to a new level, great ideas of how to start selling your art and a wealth of wonderful personal stories of the journey of an artist.If you have always dreamed you wanted to be an artist, this book will help you realize that dream and "Make It So". | 11 | [

2 | Such a powerful album !! | For my money, John Lennon's best solo album is Plastic Ono Band. It is so raw and emotional that you do feel a little guilty listening to it. This was a man dealing with the break up of the band he founded. In addition, Lennon was finally coming to terms with the death of his mother Julia and his father's abandonment of him when he was, I believe, three years old. I absolutely love the proto-punk sounds of Well Well Well and I Found Out. The lyrics are cathartic and amazingly open. Lennon strips belief down to himself (and Yoko). He wants to feel his pain and not mask it with substances or belief systems. What an album ! It's hard to imagine a current artist baring his or her soul like this. Of note is that, through all of the pain, he still celebrates Love. I love Imagine as well, but this is my favorite Lennon solo album because of the vulnerability and openness here. The production is also less pronounced and lets the listener feel the music. | 13 | [

1 | The trilogy is all borring | I have read all three of the trilogy and a great number of other fantasy works. I have no choice but to say that while Tolkien made a indepth backrgound for his story that was all he did. Tolkien built a world, but he never wrote a story. I have never read a fantasy book less entertaining than these. He bores you with the details. Textbooks have fewer appendixes than his books. The only two redeming bits are the symbolism and world building. However, he missed one main concept, its all as borring as can be. Only a few obsessed people out there learn to speak elvish, for the rest of us he could have spent some time on an action scene and just written gibberish because thats all it is. His symbolism is certainly not deep enough to make the books worth reading either. The first and foremost reasons to write any book thats not a textbook is to entertain or make a point. He makes a simplistic point and keeps you saying, 'This sucks!'. | 13 | [

1 | My daughter got a rash from them | My daughter weighs 27 lbs, and I bought the 2-3T size. These diapers are small. Really small. They hardly fit her and are supposed to fit up to 34lbs. She is a thin baby. In addition, the cool liner thing didn't work for my daughter, she didn't mind having it on for quite a while. It does not seem cool to the touch to me. At all. Third day of wearing, she got a rash and started to itch. The liner "broke" in to tiny little white balls, and the diaper was hardly used. They are low quality, and not worth the money. Go Pampers. I never should have swapped in the first place. | 13 | [

2 | Absolutely love this little item!! Time saver, too! | ProTec Cleaning Cartridge does exactly what it says. Actually, it works even longer. My humidifier stopped working and I let it sit for over a week on two different occasions till I could get around to emptying. When I did clean it, the water was not slimy at all nor was the filter. Before I purchased this, my water had to be changed daily or slime and scaling would build up horribly. It also turned the filter a horrible yellow. It still turns it a little yellow, but nothing like before. We have well water. It's also a time saver, cause I don't have to empty it and clean it every day. I'm not a slave to the humidifier anymore! Definately worth it! | 11 | [

1 | Mornning coffee nyc | While I generally like Cuisanart products, I'm sorry to say this coffee maker is the worst. It's close to impossible not to spill when pouring from the carafe. I pour very slowly, I've tried different heights--doesn't help. It also overflows constantly while brewing. And the "brew pause" has never worked. I've tried everything--less water, fewer beans, finest grind possible--all possible grinds-nothing works. I just have to say it's a lemon. The company has sent me new parts, even a new carafe--it makes no difference. I'm appreciative of their concern, but bottom line is THIS IS A BAD PRODUCT!!! i'M SORT OF RESIGNED AT THIS POINT--SO I'M HOPING IT WILL GIVE OUT SOON & I CAN GET A MR. COFFEE. Cuisanart would probably replace this one, but why replace a lemon with a lemon? And what to do with this one? I don't want to donate a lemon to Goodwill, nor create unnecessary refuse--so I'll wait I guess til it goes kerplunk for good! | 13 | [

2 | In response to my previous review... | I would like to say that I have now read the book. Yes, it is sad that someone dies, but star wars was overdue. You can't expect everyone to survive every battle they ever face. It kinda angers me that people arn't more realistic. Sure, it's fiction, but there needs to be some sense of realism. Even disney movies have main characters die some times. That is sad when a childrens company has death more then something for older people. As for the content of the book, I say bout time the empire isn't involved. When you are reading these reviews, don't listen to them about it being a bad book. Read it for yourself. Most of the fools are just mad because someone got the axe, or the planet as the case may be. | 11 | [

2 | Really good read. | Let me begin by saying this book was by far one of my favorites. I read about it in this series i was reading Drama High by L. Divine, where the main charater is a voodoo priestest in training. She spoke highly of the book so i decided to give it a read. And I'm happy i did. I have never been more interested in any other book the way i was in this one. It was very well written. Even though I got backlash from my co-workers for reading such a book. Comments such as, "Oh you are reading up on how to perform Voodoo?" Stupid stuff like that. But it was worth it cause I did enjoy the book. The descriptions of old New Orleans were amazing. I felt as if i was right there through everything. If you are interested in something different to read i suggest picking up this book. And cudos to amazon for having it in stock, i went to 4 bookstores in my area and they didnt carry it. | 14 | [

When unfolded it is all misproportioned. Can not straighten out to look anywhere near the picture! You attach two small side plastic pieces that is suppose to help make it stand up straight. Not even close. It IS NOT this see-through it is white! It looks like two kids playscreens placed on up of each other. It barely fits a 36" door way and that is with the door removed. The velcro tape that goes down the side to attach the door to was totally dried out and did not stick...or to itself. The picture shows a well stabalized door..... NOT.Buyer charges restocking fee of 15% so buyer beware! | 12 | [

Everyone who has it wants to know where they can get it . . . the answer . . . a few boxes from my "stash" go home with them.

2 | STAIND=GOD!!! | This album by Staind is excellent! To be exact, words cannot describe how good this album is. Aaron Lewis has really given his best stuff and it definitely shows. He put a lot of emotion into his singing. The melody of each song is different from each other. There are some that are close, but each have its variations. I just love the whole album, but if I had to choose, my fav songs would have to be Pressure, It's Been Awhile, Epiphany, For You, Outside, and Waste. They all have great melodies and some are very mellow such as Epiphany. I happen to enjoy mellow, but I do like some of the hard stuff, like in Waste.

1 | Looks great but don't buy | I bought this a year ago. It looks nice on the counter, gets coffee very hot, and will make one cup. That's it for the good part.It leaks. It also drips from the pot when you pour it. Terribly. It makes a mess, every time. It turns off after 2 hours. The internal filters are hard to find, outside of the internet with shipping. And,off and on,it makes TERRIBLE coffee! Chemical taste. We tried relceaning, changing filters, changing coffee. Anyway, don't set it in a place that will stain because you will always have coffee on the counter. | 12 | [

2 | Awesome both quality and price | I took it to a local pub to let the female bartender I know use it to slice her fruits. As it would go, she didn't need to that day (first time ever :)). It was slow and she was bored and decided to try it on an orange. It went through it almost by the weight of the knife itself. She was so impressed, she had one of the waitress's who also bartends try it. She insisted on finishing the orange she like it so much. They gave it to the cook and he used it on a tomato and he gave it high compliments (which trust me he doesn't do often). I gave them the knife which took a lot of convincing. They thought it was too expensive. Even after telling them it was realitively cheap, they still guessed over $50. I finally convinced them and ordered another one for myself. I haven't used it on meats yet, but trust me, it's so sharp I have no doubts about how well it will do. I highly recommend this knife (just be warned to be carefull. it would go through a finger very easily)!! | 15 | [

2 | Great book of letters, loved it | I think this was a really good book. I read another one of John Mardsen's books b4, "So much to tell U" I think. That book was a book of letters too. Book books were very good, esp this one. At first, it was quie confusing and hard to follow. But if u go on to read it, u'll find out what an amazing book it is. Two girls juz writing letters together, seems so simple yet so complicated. The author has put the characters forward as if it were true in actual life (whihc may even occur!). It was quite touching too. Read it. And don't be too bored by the beginning. | 11 | [

1 | Highway companion - Not quite the saving grace | i have seen people raving about how good and blah blah this record is. Well what shall i say, i fell for it and ordered it online. Now!!! being a tom petty fan i took the trouble getting it before anybody else here in india, because it takes ages for new albums to get here. Result - Alas! the task at hand was that of trying to finish listening to all the 12 tracks and then chuck it down into the Cellar. I was waiting on track after track expecting something better to come up But was immenseley discontented. Saving grace! seems to be the only grace on the whole album. I feel some of the tracks were improvised straight lifts from his previous heartbreakers ventures. This record is going to Catch dust in the cellar. | 11 | [

2 | LOVED IT!!! LOVED IT!!! LOVED IT!!!! | I loved the movie so I bought the soundtrack. Great for dancing and singing to and great for karaoke. It's a must-have for all High School Musical fans!!! I bought this CD right after the movie came out. You'll never get tired of listening to these songs. It's May and it's still my favorite CD to listen to. The lyrics come with the CD so you don't have to go online and search for them. There are two karaoke tracks, a song that wasn't included in the movie, and a remix of Getcha Head in the Game by B5. The songs will sound exactly like they were in the movie because they were pre-recorded and played during the movie. So the way you heard it, is the way you'll hear it. That is, if you buy the CD. | 11 | [

1 | I guess I'm not as big a fan as I thought | I hadn't purchased the 'pressure points' cd or heard any songs so naturally I couldn't judge it. I came to the online reviews to get some info on a band that I enjoy. Of course I was delighted to see all the favorable statements made and felt it was time to check it out. Maybe I'm stuck on what they've done previously but this one doesn't do it for me folks. Some refer to this as progressive but I view it as commercial crap. Reggae is suppose to be reggae not Crystal Light pop. There was a review where JBB was called the best band out(matter of opinion). I do think they're very talented. More talented than this cd suggests! Maybe next time JBB. Until then I'll be listening to Groundation. | 11 | [

1 | Will not stand the test of time! | We love Magna Tiles in our house!. We own 4 sets! They are played with daily. I've recommended to many friends that they buy Magna Tiles.However, I would not buy more at this point.The first three sets of Magna tiles we purchased have been wonderful with no issues. The last set, bought 2 months, ago is falling apart! The plastic on the sides is peeling up exposing the magnet. They seem to be made cheaper than the magna tiles in the past. (Isn't that always what happens with products, the quality goes down after a few years.)I called the company and since it's been over 30days, they will not replace the broken tiles. The guy asked how old my child was. When I told him 4 years old, I was told not to worry about the magnets falling out because my son old enough not to place them in his mouth.I no longer will recommend this toy to friends! They are now cheaply made and not worth $1 per tile!!Be careful around small children! These are a safety hazard! | 14 | [

1 | Hmmm... | I want to like this book, I really do. I'd never read anything by Calvino before and bought this on the basis of the reviews and - mainly - the intriguing title. I browsed the first chapter in the book store (as Calvino describes!) and was intrigued, but then... gee, maybe it's just me, but did it get bogged down or what!?I've made a start on it two or three times. Each time I've picked it up with a tremendous sense of anticipation and each time I've got to about page 40 or so before putting it down with a terrible sense of disappointment. I feel it should be saying something to me, but isn't. What am I missing? I'll return to it again sometime, honest, but, until then, I get the horrible suspicion that it might be one of those books that just aren't meant for me. Still, I hope to get back to you in six months' time with better news (and more stars!). | 11 | [

2 | Flicka 3 Country Pride | I am twelve and love horses. I love the Flicka movies! I would say the first and second are still better, but the third movie is great! Amazon is a little more expensive. We found ours at Wallmart for $12.99. The story was confusing to me before we watched it because of the little summary on the back of the case. The story is about Toby(Clint Black) and his side of the series. This movie is rated G and is a great family fun video. Flicka is not the main star though, which disappointed me. It was mainly focused on Kelly and her life. They ride English which was a fun twist. This time the story is not on a ranch, but instead a riding stable. The acting was excellent as usual. I did find some scenes confusing because they happened so fast. I rewinded it but still couldn't get a good view of the action. It is an hour and a half, and is completely clean. I would recommend this movie to anyone who loves horses and knows alot about the Flicka movies! | 17 | [

2 | A fantastic album!!! My fave of 2001!!! | This is by far the best album i bought in 2001. I luv every tune from first to last. Greatly arranged, beautiful lyrics and songlines that make u melt down. I am big fan of New Order, Pet Shop Boys, OMD, Heaven 17 and other bands of that style. And this album is really building a bridge between those artists. From soft and moody to powerful and strong, from breakbeats to guitars and pianos - its all in the game! You mabye know those records u would take with u on a lonesome isle where u have stranded?! Well, lemme say: THIS WOULD BE THE ONE CD OF MY 1000 CD Collection i would choose. Give a try and support one of the best bands in the scene. You wont regret it i promise!!! :0)5 STARS + THE MOON... | 11 | [

1 | Poor Battery, strange Caller ID | After waiting for Panasonic to come up with it's own "non V-Tech" expandable phone system, I was excited when this model showed up on the shelves this Summer. I purchased it along with an extra headset. The sound quality was excellent, and the features were nice, but I returned it because the battery didn't hold a charge. After being on "standby" for 10 hours, both handsets went from 3 bars (fully charged) to one bar (needs recharging). My old analog 900mhz Panasonic stayed fully charged for four-to-five days. Sure, I could keep the handset in the charger at all times, but who does that?Also, the caller-ID was very slow to post the name/number on the display. After the 2nd ring, "incoming call" would still appear. Frustrating. Another annoying thing was the inabilty to auto-dial multiple numbers from the handset. This is needed if you have a pre-paid calling card. Because the maxium numbers you can auto-dial is 22, it is impossible to do this. | 11 | [

2 | Picture this... | You're driving along a deserted desert highway in....oh, say...New Mexico, on a warm summer evening. Along your journey, you stop in a a few bars, gas staions, diners, and small towns. Somehow, you manage to climb inside the heads of a few of the local characters, and get a synopsis of their lives. None of these folks are probably heroes, or villans. Just average folk, trying to get by. Ridgway does an amazing job of bringing local color, and character development into songs only a few minutes long. Each one is a brief escape into someones world other than your own. I guess I have been hooked on this artist since Wall of Voodoo did "Mexican Radio". Good music, nicely recorded, unusual but strangely compelling stories. Kind of like an non-SciFi version of X-Files. Buy it. | 11 | [

1 | Total Crap | I ordered this for a 9 year old Pitbull who loves to chew. The description says this toy is for 'serious chewers' that weigh 30-65 pounds. (My dog weighs 55lbs). Long lasting ... blah blah blah. My dog had it for 4 hours the first night and I saw teeth marks already. I thought it was no big deal. Tonight (second night) he had it for 2 hours and when I turned around it was in tiny pieces all over my floor. :(Kong is supposed to be the best out there for chewers - and Kong extreme is supposed to be even better. Total crap. What a waste of $10. I will stick with nylabone - they hold up for a few weeks at least. | 11 | [

2 | Out of the Dust Review | "On Sunday, winds came, bringing a red dust like prairie fire, hot peppery, searing the inside of my nose, the whites of my eyes. Roaring dust, Turning the day from sunlight to midnight." (Hesse, 46) Billie Jo, a thirteen-year-old girl, had to face this horror day after day. Out of the Dust is a compelling tale of Billie Jo's hardship of living in the Dust Bowl and Great Depression. Every time a dust storm hits, her family is in danger of losing their farm. After the stove fire crisis, which leaves her mother and Billie Jo terribly burned, eventually kills her mother as well as her newborn baby brother. When the tragedy strikes, Billie Jo's love grows stronger for her father, and for the piano. This is a very interesting and compelling story of this young girls courage, and I enjoyed it very much. I recommend this novel to eight years olds or older. I think once you have read this book, you will be captured by the courage and strife that comes with the dust storms. EW | 11 | [

2 | This one is good | 'This love' is very good. I think it's the best from Maroon 5. It's one of my favourite from all of Maroon 5's songs. It's tone is very enjoyable. And the beat is kinda' slow, but it is really good. The vocal... not bad. The lyrics, OK. But if you ever watch the video clip, it's little vulgar. Overall, it's good. So I'd give 9.5 for This Love. Recommended. | 11 | [

2 | Still amazes me! | Where do I begin? In my opinion, Armin Van Buuren may very well be the best trance dj out there these days. I believe this is his best effort yet. Certainly better than his latest disc, 76. Yeah, I realize I'm writing this review a year and a half after the release of Transparance, but that's how good it is. I have not gotten tired of it after constant play for over a year. I am more of a fan of melodic, euphoric trace, so disc one is my favorite. I can't help but get lost in the songs "Into the Sun" and "Spacelover" which are mixed flawlessley, back to back. Start to finish, this CD is hard to top. CD2 is also fantastic, a bit harder than 1, but nearly as good as disc 1. If you're a fan of AVB, you better have this CD set. If you aren't familiar with him, you must get it. I would rate this CD #2 in my all time trance favorites, right behind Oakenfold's Tranceport. Yeah, it's that good. | 14 | [

1 | Inappropriate Trash | I just got done watching this, the worst of all the DC Animated films. Badly drawn. Lois's chin comes to a point. Superman's face has very odd lines. The animation looks to be several steps down from what you may be used to from Justice League/The Batman/Legion of Superheroes. The makers have an odd fascination with showing terrified children. The violence is over the top and very inappropriate. I know it's PG-13 but kids are going to watch it and there are like several grisly murders that happen just "off camera". You know they were thinking how much can we get away with and still be PG-13. Parents beware. Definitely not for kids. Right to lifers beware. This wins hands down for the most death ever in a DC project. And if you liked the comic, forget this. Veers off and never looks back. It could have been so much better if they stayed true to the source material. Just trash. | 17 | [

1 | Defective product | Looking at other raving reviews, I tried this shears - Twice. The first I received had the last couple of inches not closing - so will not cut properly. I thought it might be an odd one out - so I returned and asked for a replacement. When I got the replacement, it had the same problem. The last one inch or so of the shears will not close - I find it hard to believe that thats the standard design. What purpose could this possibily achieve. I lose the ability to nip small twigs as the tips do not close. And I also tend to lose a couple of inches of cutting power in a 10 inch long blade. Thats a major drawback to me. I have seen only one reviewer who had the same problem. I wonder if others faced the same issue but are okay with that or did I receive a defective product - Twice! I am waiting for my refund after returning the second shears - dont want to deal with it anymore. | 12 | [

"I thought it might be an odd one out - so I returned and asked for a replacement.",
"When I got the replacement, it had the same problem.",
"The last one inch or so of the shears will not close - I find it hard to believe that thats the standard design.",
"What purpose could this possibily achieve.",
"I lose the ability to nip small twigs as the tips do not close.",
"And I also tend to lose a couple of inches of cutting power in a 10 inch long blade.",
"Thats a major drawback to me.",
"I have seen only one reviewer who had the same problem.",
"I wonder if others faced the same issue but are okay with that or did I receive a defective product - Twice!",

2 | Not for the faint at heart | I have had this scanner for a year adn a half and have put nearly 5000 slides through it. I am happy with the overall quality of the scans for what I paid for this. I use this as a proofing tool-- I only get my negatives developed (when I shoot prints) and then scan them to proof them. Or if I shoot slides and want to put them on the internet or retouch them. The scanner will make up to an 8x12 at 400dpi. which is okay. Again you must look at what you are paying. The neat scratch removing features that the upper models have would be nice but again repeating for the price this is a great little scanner. I have been happy. I even got it to work in XP but it did take some research. Info for installing in XP or 2000 can be found [online.] | 11 | [

1 | Poor Book on THE TITANIC! | I really did not like this book. Being a Titanic fanatic this is the worst (out of many) book I have read about the Titanic. Maiden Voyage is even a bad title for this book, because the first 100 (aproxx) pages are not even about or have anything to do with the maiden voyage of the Titanic. They deal with how he got named and him watching his father and his fathers girlfriend take their "clothes off". And it also is too descriptive of what the boy does. I mean it describes him finding out what life is. If you know what I mean. To give you a clue the kid is going through puberty. Then theres the other part. The kid is only a young teen and he's falling in love ith someone much older than him. The book really wouldn't be bad if it didn't have the sex that it does have in it.. I do not recommend it to anyone who likes the Titanic. Let alone recommend it to anyone else. These are the reasons I rate this book 1 star. | 14 | [

2 | English subtitles makes more sense than the Japanese version | Been waiting for a while to get the series since my buddies have the japanese versions and the english subtitles just doesn't make sense at times. The rough translation sucks. Saw the S.A.V.E. editon on netflix and the voice over and subtitles makes sense and now it is better watching it and understanding what is going on. Searched for it on amazon and Bam! found it.If you like anime or this title, get it in the S.A.V.E. version. You won't be disappointed. Fourth stage have more races to enjoy.Hope they make a 5th stage or a feature on his dad Bunta when he was young and driving wild back in the days. That would be awesome. 24 episodes, 4 discs | 11 | [

2 | An excellent story, but not-so-excellent writing. | "Fire and Ice" tells an exciting story about love, revenge and piracy in the early nineteenth century. Ms. Hart researched the time period well, making her descriptions credible and interesting. The details about square-rigged ships are especially impressive. The story, centering around a young Irish lady and her forced marriage, was enjoyable and exciting; there are swordfights and battle scenes to complement the torrid romance between Reed and Kathleen. I loved this book. The characters are strong and the story exciting. I've already read it three times! The only thing holding back the novel is the sometimes poor writing of Ms. Hart. She tells a great story, but some of the dialogue is inappropriate. In spite of this, "Fire and Ice" is a great read. There is also a fabulous squel, "Ashes and Ecstacy" that is simply heart wrenching. I strongly recommend both books. | 12 | [

2 | an insane genius.. | i remember hearing this record for the first time.. early 90's. the first track alone says it all. . a 3 part song. holy hell..! what a concept.. an epic masterpiece in its own right.. i had months of inspiration.. years later i would see Helios Creed (one of many times) live in S.F.. there would be about 20 people in the crowd. me... and a bunch of burnt out bikers.. it was amazing. Helios Creed plays out of the crappy-est gear.. but he has one of the most original guitar sounds ever. never to be duplicated. i believe this record was the first off AmRep records.. many followed, many just as good.. Helios appeared on other records, butthole surfers, (plus a record with jeff pinkus & frank gary martin pain teens.!).. some later Hawkwind record i never got around to hearing.. and did work with some of the guys from Ministry.. ("boxing the clown" i think).. | 11 | [

1 | Utter Garbage! | This router has been a problem from the moment I took it out of the box. I was always warned to buy equipment by weight, and this thing weighs less than the package it came in. It's cheap, cheap, cheap. I have been plagued with download stalls since installing this. Thank God I didn't toss our old Netgear router in the trash, because it's been very handy to have it standing by when the DLink's wireless isn't absolutely necessary. Looking at the two side by side, the DLink is pathetic -almost comical. Its status lights blink pointlessly denoting practically nothing other than the fact that it's sucking power. The Netgear router on the other hand, is sturdy metal, solidly built, and has never failed. I'm off to buy one of *their* wireless routers. It's too late for me to get my money back on this piece of garbage, but it's not too late for you. RUN! | 11 | [
