2 | An amazing product | I bought this as a gift for my husband. Since he's a service tech (certified A+, IBM, Compaq, HP, et al, with years of experience), he's the "expert" in the family and I tend to avoid making such purchases. However, thanks to Amazon's remarkably detailed description and the helpful customer reviews, I was able to make the right pick. My husband (also an avid Amazon fan!) reports that installation was pure simplicity; he didn't even have to call upon any of his training -- installing this beauty should be painless and quick (half an hour or less!) for ANYone. I've seen the results myself and am duly impressed. The decoder card is super-fast and installs easily. The software is remarkable: Compton's Encyclopedia, National Geographic and Riven (the sequel to Myst); these titles give you a mind-boggling preview of the excellent performance you can expect from this drive. Another noteworthy capability: it can read writable CD's. A sure-fire winner! | 11 | [

1 | A joke at best | Where to begin? The fact that the information about the countries is scant, or that you SIMPLY SHOULDN'T BUY THIS BOOK! Hey Rick, ever heard of Nice? You know, the second largest city in France? How about ROME?!?!?! Hm, guess not. Now it would be one thing if your definition of a "back door" was smaller, less traveled cities. Yet somehow London and Paris are in here. If you really want to get a comprehensive travel guide, look no further than the Let's Go! guides. They are concise, informative, and umptine MILLION times more useful than ol' Rick | 11 | [

1 | Goldie is the Lucy Ricardo of this contemporary mystery | I have read nearly all of Davidson's books about Goldie the caterer. She seems to be following a formula...and not paying attention to the whole. Just as Lucy Ricardo poked her nose into anything to do with the entertainment industry, Goldie is similarly out of place as an amateur detective. She has enough injuries to spend several days in bed recuperating, yet she forges out to take more foolish risks. Her policeman husband is passive and dull. I used to think Goldie was a sweet person...well check out how she talks to Liz at the fateful catering event...what a witch. And the verbs...who uses the word "chittered?" This plus the last two books written about Goldie, they seem to reek with formula, rather than good character and plot development. Goldie is not human. She is unbelievable and wooden. Ms. Davidson, get a better editor. | 11 | [

1 | Just terrible. | Want something to do worth taking up 1 hour and 44 minutes of your time? It's not watching this movie! This was terrible. I could not even stay interested in this movie. I will watch just about anything and I found myself starting to play games on my phone half-way through. No "thriller" aspect whatsoever.Casting? Christina Ricci is perfect for the creepy, pale, dead girl role and she did a good job. Liam Neeson, not so much. If you want to see a good Liam Neeson movie, check out one of his action flicks (Taken, Unknown) - he is much better in that role.Then there is the ending. I still do not understand what happened. I was able to follow "Inception" (for those of you that saw it, this makes sense) but I can't follow "After.Life"? Who knows. I don't want to add any spoilers in my review, so I will leave it at that. It just does not make sense. | 14 | [

2 | Simply delightful! | Here is a lighthearted and romantic tale of the famous (infamous?) playboy Casanova. The sets of the Venice of a couple hundred years ago are truly wonderful. People who enjoy period films are sure to like this one.Heath Ledger does a surprisingly wonderful job of portraying the legendary seducer of women. In many ways, the whole concept of Casanova is like an inflated male fantasy. It asks: "What if?" it were the case that women were to chase after us like we chase after them? Insofar as that is concerned, the film is quite cathartic.One of the biggest selling points of the movie is that it maintains a great sense of humor. It's good to see how they were able to make a lighthearted film out of what was a rather dark chapter in world history. Typically, movies that deal with the Spainish Inquisition don't have happy endings........until now!! | 11 | [

2 | Oink! is fabulous! | I know that this book is suggested for 4 - 8 year olds, but I received it as a baby gift for my now 4 month old. And it is the best learning tool! It has wonderfully simplistic questions, such as "Who says Moo Moo?" with beautiful illustrations. But the best part? It has the animals on ribbons to match with their sounds. Although my son is not able to match the animals to their sounds, it is easy for a momma or daddy to read to their son or daughter. My baby boy is learning to clasp objects now, and he grabbed the horse on the string last night! Needless to say, I was overjoyed. Mr. Wojtowycz has scored big on this book. It's a great learning tool and so colorful and fun for children of all ages! Thank you! | 12 | [

2 | How many tracks are there really? | First I wanna say that the musis is awesome. The songs have a catchy beat and the music is origional in terms of melodies. I can play this CD over and over and still not be tired of it. There are two problems I saw with the CD. The first is that the content of the songs is ALL the same. It is all about wanting a guy that for some reason or the other she can't have. The other problem was the interludes. I didn't know what an interlude was when I bought the CD. For people who don't know, it is the girls talking -- no music. I think it is basically there to take up space. The intro is there for the same reason. There are really only 12 real MUSIC tracks. I the music really was great though, I just usually skip the interludes and the intro. | 13 | [

1 | Leaks and customer service | Received this as a Christmas gift but didn't use it until this summer. After a few uses, it started leaking from the bottom. We contacted DeLonghi and left a message. We are sending it in at our expense to have it repaired and they pay to ship it back to us. We don't think their customer service is worthless like some reviewers have expressed. DeLonghi must be aware of this problem. We did not register the product for the warranty but they allowed us to send it for repair without the warranty. We hope the problem will be fixed. We will edit our review once we get the product back. I don't think I would recommend this product because of the leaking problem that so many people have had.We would not have bought it had we read the reviews on Amazon. Whether we buy from Amazon or not, we do trust the reviews. | 11 | [

2 | WOW!!! | I experienced "Salt" while at work listening to internet radio. My system was interrupted before I could find out who the artist was. The voice captivated me for days. A few days later, it came on again and I was like- that's the song...WOW.Then you guys were convincing me even more with your reviews. I purchased the cd online today. Then requested the deejay to play it on my ride home. Once I heard it pumping through my stereo tonight, I knew I couldn't wait for it to come in the mail. The next record store in route suddenly became my new destination. I've bought it (twice :-). I've experienced it. I love it!!! WOW. | 12 | [

2 | Jet Metal Cutting Bandsaw | Shipped freight free on a vehcile with liftgate. Driver put it on a dolley and moved it right into my ground floor workshop. Since it wieghs 150 pounds, this was most appreciated. Well packed and all parts were included. Easily assembled but need the help of my engine hoist to get it right side up. Good instructions and it assembled easily with the exception of the belt guard. Looks like Jet may have changed the motor type without changing the belt gaurd design. It went on but had to be very carefully adjusted to avoid rubbing on one of the pulleys. Works very well for cutting steel and other metal round stock. Used the vertical bandsaw capability which I though at first was a bit of a gimick but it worked very well. Good value for money. I would have rated it 5 stars except for the belt guard issue.Jet 414458 HVBS-56M 5-by-6-Inch 1/2 HP Horizontal/Vertical Bandsaw | 12 | [

1 | Just so-so | My Hoover Windunnel bagless worked fine for a few months. When I bought it I also bought the extended service agreement for $50 because I'd read that they didn't have a good repair record. It was a wise investment. I needed it after a year.To keep suction, you have to empty the canister each time and clean off the filter. This is a time consuming and dirty process. It loses suction quickly when the filter gets clogged. Thank goodness for the self propelled option. It's heavy and not easy to push without it. It's also very loud.It doesn't do bare floors well at all unless you use the hose and floor attachment. By just using the upright, the small rock particles are thrown by the brush to other areas of the floor and if the filter is plugged, it won't pick them up anyway.I will say that it worked pretty well in the beginning. I liked having the hose and all the attachments at my fingertips. The compartment keeps them handy and they don't fall out while vacuuming. | 12 | [

2 | Too cool for school | I heard a quote somewhere; "There are two kinds of people in this world, those that own an iPod and those that want an iPod." I was in the later group, but when the mini came out, I had to be in the first group. The physical size is perfect and light. The only way the mini could be better is if it were cheaper (that's why I only gave it 4 stars). I was able to score the student discount so I got it for $229. The click wheel interface is the ultimate in usablity. I'm glad I didn't buy a regular iPod. My battery life has been slightly better than the specified 8hr span. Do I regret not getting the 20 or 40GB storage? NO WAY. The battery doesn't last the 4gigs worth of play, let alone 20 and I'm not afraid to take only the music I need. Fear of commitments? Buy the regular iPod. I'm ready to take the leap with my iPod mini. | 14 | [

2 | Very easy to use | I got 4 of these for christmas gifts. We live 2 and 5 hours from our new baby's grandparents and an aunt that wishes they could see her everyday. I chose this because of other's reviews on ease of use and installation. We love it. I have a laptop and can easily use it even with my daughter in my arms to capture those great moments. And then off they go via e-mail.I was a little disappointed to find there is an extra yearly charge per user for live video though. We decided to wait on paying the $60 some a year, again per user (that adds up), til my daughter is older. Also, we've found it's not as good in low light. And if you have too much light behind who's being videoing, there's too much glare. So, the lighting has to be right.Overall, I'm really happy with it. It was super easy to install. Now, I send off video e-mails to family and friends and everyone loves them. What a great way to see our girl grow. | 13 | [

1 | Not worth half the price! | I bought these pans about a year ago. I was so pleased. I also bought an expensive set of wood utensils and threw my metal ones out. All and all I'd say I spent $700+. At first they were great. Hand washed, wood utensils and never in the oven. My first mistake was trying to cook a pot roast with bone in my Dutch Oven. Big scratch!!! No pan should be so fragile. By the end of the year every pan is scratched and I don't mean one little scratch in the bottom. These pans look worse than my Costco brand after 5 years of wear which they replaced @$150. When I get the guts to tell my husband what garbage they are, I'm going back to Costco. | 12 | [

1 | Sorry to say but the headline has to read "First Bad Album" | No lie! I've tried listening to this a few times, I find myself clicking the cd player to the next song and to the next. Where's the fun, where's the rip. Gary Who? Come on Eddie, your first impression of him was right on when you said he sucked. I guess everyone has a brainfart once in a while. Nice to hear some of Eddie's keyboard talent but not enough metal mixed in. I highly recommend this album....NOT!!!!! I have every album except for best of, which I agree with Sammy, when a band does that it usually means they've run out of good new material. Way to go Sammy. And no, I don't agree with you bleeding hearts that compare every song to Roth and Jump. They had there heyday together, now its over. As all good dedicated non fairweather fans, I will be looking for something better in their next album attempt. Try again guys! | 14 | [

1 | This Game is Terrible | Rarely do I ever write an article about anything. However, this game was so ... terrible that I had to take a stand. DO NOT BUY THIS GAME. It is a waste of time and money. This game is just another sorry effort by the folks at Lucas Arts. They are fraudulently using their brand name to sell a shoddy product. Controls are horrible, and the graphics under-utilize the power of the Xbox. Fusion Frenzy is a better game than this one. I had more fun playing my old Atari 2600 games than I had with Obi Wan. If you did buy this game, return it. Buy yourself something more useful, like a paperweight. | 11 | [

2 | Great Novel! | This book is a great read! I have read plenty of books over the years and this is one of my all time favorites. No other book has kept me so interested all the way to the end. And the fact that this is a 'true' story makes it all the more incredible. The story is almost unbelievable, yet it seems very possible. It's a relatively short novel and it's very easy to read. The main character is down to Earth and his adventure is uncomparably captivating. No other novel I have read compares to this one. A sixteen year old boy stuck on a lifeboat with a tiger, a hyena, a zebra AND a monkey! On his little boat floating in the Pacific he encounters a lot more than you would think, and it get's pretty bloody at times. This is NO childrens book. And the ending to this novel was put together pefectly. I loved this book, and you will love it too. | 13 | [

2 | Stone Fox is a great book by John Reynolds | Stone Fox is about a boy named Willy;he and his family lived in a small town. When winter setteled in,the grandfather got sick. Can Willy take care of the farm and make money? To find out you must read this book. It is the best book. A child 14 years-old could still relate to Willy's issues. I recommend you read this book because you will enjoy it.There are many good charactres in this story,but the main characters are Willy,and his dog Search light. Willy is a good boy who only wants to keep his remaining family alive. Shearch light, is Willy's loyal dog who is at Willy's side all the time. I like this book because of the type of person Willy is. He was small yet determined. He was a good sport,and he played fair. He was young in the story about 10.,I like these types of stories beacause thay have good endings. This book is a must read. | 14 | [

1 | Epic Fail. I Tried To Like It But It Was Just Imposible. | I Loved The Book, And LOVED The Cartoon! But This Movie Is Bad! I Have This Dvd And I Still Watch It Every Now And Then. Story: It's Decent But It REALLY COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER! Acting: Okay.

1 | SUCKS!!!! for home use | I bought this after seeing it used at work. I was impressed by its speed and the general quality of coffee. However, it is horrible for home use. The coffee is weak. General opinion was that it was just brown water. We tried different flavors and techniques to improve the strength, but nothing worked. We bought an attachment so we can use or own flavors, and that just made a mess. CLEANING IS A NIGHTMARE. We ran water through the system 10 times and STILL had grounds pouring into our cups. Oh and don't think about packing it up. You cannot remove the water from the internal reservoir without dismantling the entire machine.Final review... Okay for the office, but don't use it at home. Mine is going back today. | 13 | [

1 | Color greatly misrepresented | I have seen this color online before, and I thought it looked really pretty. I got excited when I found it in an Ulta store awhile ago. My hair is naturally light blonde, which is an ideal color to use this on according to the box. However, I was understandably mortified when my hair finished drying after using this product. The top part of my hair was bright red, and the rest remained mostly the same color as before. I followed all of the instructions, mixed the product well, and left it on for the correct amount of time. There is no reason this should have happened. I had to lighten my hair with lemon juice afterwards to get some of the bright red out. My hair looked absolutely nothing like on the box. Perhaps other women will have better luck with this product than I did. However, after my experience, I really wouldn't recommend it to anyone. | 11 | [

2 | ZWAN = SMASHING PUMPKINS | I could not beleive my ears! Billy Corgan just sent me back to yesteryear! The moment you hear his voice there is no denying HE's BACK! The sound is VERY VERY MUCH Pumpkins. I felt like an addict who just got a fix! I am very happy with this album. It has been the only album I've listened to since I got it, 3 days ago. If you like the Pumpkins then you will UNDOUBTEDLY enjoy this album. IT ROCKS! "Desire" is earily poetic and hearfelt.A rose by any other name is still a rose and ZWAN is just another name! The key I think is Jimmy on drums and Billy's voice. How could it not sound like the Pumpkins? The truth is, it is Pumpkins just with another name. | 13 | [

2 | No problems with my iPod. | First of all, I had no problems loading this on my Itunes. I don't know what everybody's talking about. I just loaded it like any other CD. I was a little afraid when I bought this CD. Everyday was OK in parts I didn't like Busted Stuff. I went to buy this not really knowing what to think. I have to admit, I've been happily suprised. Sure it's not really anything like their old stuff, but I think that the band really had fun experimenting on this one. The only downside is the repetitive drumming. I can't wait to see what Carter does with the songs live! I think it's a great album. I wasn't sure at first, but after listening to it 10 times through I decided I liked it. It will most likely be the album that will lose them some fans, but it will also bring in a lot more. | 13 | [

1 | Discount Aisle ... 3 Jokes or Less | One reviewer claimed this movie had the cult potential of Office Space? Wow. Other reviewers called this movie hilarious. Double Wow. Reread the serious reviews who apologized for the lack of humour, excusing the director, some encouraging him(!) for taking this movie in a feel-good, corporate commentary a.k.a. documentary direction. The truth is between the lines of those reviews. When a review takes on the tone of an apology ... that pretty much guarantees a "3" -- except these reviewers then gave it 5's and 6's. A documentary on a run-down supermarket even sounds funny. Except it isn't. I watched 30 minutes and had to bail. Poor Scott and Reilly. Face it, folks, a script without crisis is not a script. Stories must progress the action, not muddle in the middle forever. | 15 | [

1 | Did not charge | Before this headset, I had the H700 and was very happy with it for 2 years. I decided to buy another Motorola, this time without the flip boom. I received this in 3 days which I was very pleased about. I plugged it in and the light came on right away. It then flickered out a few seconds later. I called Motorola, not the seller on here, and they had me plug it into my car charger. Same result. Motorola sent a new one 4 days later and the same thing happened. Now I am waiting on shipping labels to return both headsets to Motorola. I am beginning to wonder if any maker makes a good bluetooth headset anymore. I have heard all kinds of complaints from friends of mine with all thier headsets. It is just hard to believe there are this many bad H670's. | 12 | [

1 | Dangerous | This wiper blade is without a doubt the worst of any that I have ever used. It puts a film (apparently deliberately) on your windshield that looks like the smearing that you get with a worn-out blade. It's tolerable during daylight but at night the windshield lights up from the headlights of oncoming cars, or even streetlights making it very hard to see. These things should be outlawed. I bought 3 of them and put two on my truck. So that windshield was toast. I put the remaining one on the passenger side of my wife's car. It proceeded to smear its goo over into the path of the other good (teflon blade) wiper which smeared it over most of the driver's side. I've had these things installed for a week. They are not getting any better. I'm going out tomorrow and purchasing some teflon blades. | 11 | [

1 | don't waste your money on this one | You'd think we'd have learned our lesson after our first Toastmaster 6431 Eclipse single burner died after two days. But no, we exchanged it for a second, which died in a day. And then a third (two days). We thought we'd just hit a defective batch, and when hotplate number 4 arrived, and kept working, we were relieved.It worked for 2 months. And then, like the others, inexplicably died. Our electrician friend thinks maybe there is a big problem with..fuses melting? or something. Anyway, he said it is a dangerous item.We are now searching for really good hotplate that will last. Our previous one lasted 15 years. Not bad. No longer made though.Don't bother with this one, and I'd be pretty skeptical of any of the Toastmaster line myself | 11 | [

2 | Gossip Girl- Your the onne that I want | I was very happy with the 6th gossip girl. I was so impressed. Usually series like this get pretty boring and pointless after the first few, but the 6th one was probably one of my favorites! She writes in such detail and she never forgets the un-solved stuff (hint, hint, Blaire being a virgin, her and Nate getting back together...). The only thing was that i got so into it that when it ended I was so disapointed. It seemed to have been so short because she writes like a chapter based on the timeline of an hour. But if you read the first gossip girls I definitly recommend reading this one. Its great. Jenny finally gets over Nate, and picks up a new hobby. Her and Elise finally stop being friends(finally, I hate Elise!). Blaire and Serena got there many college applications back. Blaire's mom has the baby... early!And Nate gets the guts to get back together with Blaire. And so much more gossip awaits inside.... | 13 | [

1 | what a depressing story | I don't understand how none of the hundreds other reviewers never thought to put out a word of warning. This book is about a depressed person. Be warned: it's always depressing being near a depressed person. Its even more depressing when the that depressed guy incessantly offers insights about his depression.This is the story of this book. Its very interesting, one must admit, and there's even a good plot. So good that I couldn't stop reading it. At one point I thought, hey, this poor guy, we rest of people are so lucky. I thought maybe that's the message I should take from the book. But no, its not a message we are left with. There's no message. At the end, it's just a wonderfully written, hopeless book about a lonely, ill and sad person. | 11 | [

1 | Pete Yaaawwwwnnnn....... Zzzzzzzzzz.... | Oh look how clever. He spelled the title of his album as if it were one word. And he has a powerful sibling in the music industry. Oh yeah... he's a pretty boy too. He's got everything needed, sans talent, to make the mainstream that much more lackluster. I really find it hard to believe this guy is getting so much acclaim. I showed some interest at first but was quickly turned off by the fact the he wrote a song for.. of all shows... "Dawson's Creek"?!? What's next? "Friends"? To compare this guy to Alex Chilton or Elliot Smith is laughable. This collection of songs is over-rated and over-produced and well... very less than average. Go buy a Big Star album. | 12 | [

2 | I've Always Loved.... | ....the DOA series. I've played all of them and I own two of them. The game never gets old to me. I am the master of fighting games (I suck at everything else) and this is one that I definitely love. This game is not a "trashy" as some people like to blatantly put it. It is a really good game and it has some of the fastest gameplay out there. The speed at which the two ninja girls can move is amazing. The tag battle mode is also a great feature. The sparring exercise feature is also great for getting to know the moves. The graphics are perfect and there are minimal glitches. I encourage you to buy this game if you are into these types of games. | 11 | [

2 | Brilliant | Quite possibly Mr. Vandross' best work ever! Every track is well worth listening to (several times). I was not particularly thrilled with listening to Foxy Brown on "If it ain't one thing". Thankfully, most of her ramblings came at the end...smooth and coarse just do not blend very well. I was very pleasantly surprised at "Hit it Again". Sexy, very sexy. Did it need the Queen? No! Mr. Vandross was doing great all by himself on this one!Ms. Knowles handled herself very well with a music legend! Maybe she is not all flash after all....great rendition of "The closer I get to you".Mr. Vandross has been so consistent for so many years that we all expect the very best from him. He has raised the bar yet again with this album and I am excited to see his follow-up! Yes, I live in an optimistic world and I fully expect another Vandross CD in 2005. Unquestionably this is a must have CD. He hits the mark with every track!Je t'aime, Luther.G | 16 | [

2 | Not Old, Just Older | I have to admit I was curious to see how this long awaited effort from one of the most melodic, fun bands in music would turn out. At first listen the jury was out but after playing it 2, 3, 4, 25 times I can't get the smile off my face. Its so nice to hear such quality music again. The first song that really got me was Just Older, love the lyrics and the melody. Captain Crash and the Beauty Queen from Mars seems to be my favorite, I can't stop listening. Love the riff and the lyrics are so much fun. And how easy is it to picture the Captain and the Beauty Queen in your minds. There is such a great chemistry and tightness to this group, they sound like they're having fun. Such a refreshing album in this era of non-refreshing music. Thanks boys for bringing back the good stuff. This comes from someone who's definitely not old just older. | 11 | [

2 | Slick Sci-Fi Flick! | :)I liked this movie. The effects were nice, not too in your face like Matrix and the "action" scenes were much better.I phrase it as "action" because they stress it as just that in the movie. Takeshi Kaneshiro's character does a flip kick in the movie and it looks believable. I never compared this movie to that other one I mentioned until writing this review just now, how odd, hehe. Of all the things that make this movie better, it's plot is even better...in that same believability vein. This one doesn't stink "silly" like the other ;p.It has a nice touch of everything. In a cold world of machines and gangs there are still those that will give of themselves for others. To me there was also this element of trust, from both main characters. Watch it and you'll see what I mean. That part I liked.Handsome Takeshi Kaneshiro and super cutey Anne Suzuki...what more can you want? :) | 11 | [

1 | Bad, really bad | Forget the plot. I won't bore you with it. It tries to be all things to all men and ends up being nothing. The protaganist's worry about the baby birds from the nests she is photographing is ludricrous. Yes, have some sympathy but don't go around telling the whole world. NOBODY CARES. The romance is shallow and Ms. Ennis never makes it or the characters believable. None of the characters are believable. It really has the feeling of being slapped together in a very short time. Don't waste your money on this one. Hot romantic scenes cannot make up for the disconnected nature of this book. | 11 | [

2 | Different than previous Samsonite Focus Attache | I have enjoyed owning and using three Samsonite Focus 4" attache cases over the past 25 years. They are have been very durable, well-designed, and attractive looking; that is why I keep buying them. I was surprised, however, that this current model is substantially different than the previous model in several ways: -1- It is larger in height, width, and depth. -2- It has two separate hinges rather than the previous models' "piano" type hinge all the way across the back. -3- The finish is very shiny black. -4- There are hard plastic containers for pens/pencils, etc. which take up room inside. -5- The pen/pencil container has a flimsy plastic insert which is poorly designed and will not hold different thickness pens/pencils (I removed the insert completely). -6- There are no dividers inside the lid for organizing papers. It is a good attache case, just not an exact replacement of previous model. I hope this information is helpful to others. | 11 | [

Try looking at the second commandment: Though shalt not make a graven image! God is made into a NEW image here. Do not be fooled. This life is but a breath. This book isn't going to help any person get into the kingdom of God, it will destroy you! God OWES YOU NOTHING! He bought those who serve him with a price. WE owe HIM everything! Try to write a book now explaining why God really isn't a Genie to pull out when you selfishly want something. GOD made us for HIS GLORY not OUR pocketbook. We are here to get ready to Marry our glorious God in Heaven. I do not know of many husbandmen who looked for someone selfish to marry. GET your oil lamps ready!!!

2 | CooLiRiFiC! | my friend brought this to a sleepover once and it was AWESOME! we had loads of fun hair wrapping each other's hair and my hair wrap lasted for 3 days! They also look really pretty and are a nice colorful accessory. Perfect for any occasion. The thread is re-usable so you can make an unlimited amount of wraps! They are very easy and quick to make. But i do not own this product (though i want to!!) and so I don't really know how durable it is, but I'm sure it's quite durable. This product used to be much more expensive earlier but now it is at a very reasonable price. definetely buyable!! | 11 | [

2 | Don't expect it to do everything! | After reading some of the reviews, I am wondering if the Norpro SS Chopper I bought at a Lodge Outlet Store for $19.99 is the same model? I have had mine for 6 months and use it a lot. No rust and the blades have remained sharp. I have had no issues with it "falling apart" during use. It is not meant to "do it all". I use a LOT of diced garlic and this does it very well. For that alone, it's worth it to me. I have also very successfully diced onions, tomatoes, celery, apple and nuts. I find that it cleans up easily by just using my spray nozzle. Dishwasher easy, too. I have gone through lots of mini-choppers (most of them were plastic) and this is the only one I've had that has held up and looks as good and performs as well as the day I took it out of the box. You can find this chopper for a MUCH better price elsewhere. I was going to buy a couple as Christmas gifts and have found them for as low as $14.99 on other sites with reasonable shipping costs. | 13 | [

1 | A Disaster | When I went to the theaters to watch this movie. I invited my grandma who is a big fan of war movies and I also invited my two cousins. After seing Saving Private Ryan, I was expecting a film alot like it or even better. When the film started I almost fell asleep in the theater. Through the whole movie, my cousin wispered to me "This movie S***S!" I just keeped my mouth shut continued watching it. The plot was very dull and boring. I was begging for the movie to be over. The only thing that cought my attention was the battles scenes. By the time the movie was over. It was a big dissapointment, what a disaster for 20th-Century Fox. My folks reaction was even worse than mine! They said it was a joke. This movie is like a cartoon compared to Saving Private Ryan. This movie is so bad it is not even worth renting it on video. I do not recommend this at all! | 16 | [

1 | Some writers should just be "idea" people | Johanna Lindsey has wonderful ideas for her books. Each time I've read her book's description I get excited! I wonder how the book could possibly be bad with such a wonderful premise. Oh, she finds a way. The one thing that bothers me the most about her writing, and especially in this book, is the inconsistency of the character's personalities. She will draw up a character's personality for you, and then when said character is faced with a decision they do something completely opposite to their supposed personality. I rolled my eyes through this entire book. Not only that, but her historical accuracy is TERRIBLE. I found myself shaking the book and yelling, "Do some research, woman!"She is hands down the worst author of Regency era books I have ever read. Her ideas are epic, but she should have given them to someone else to write. | 11 | [

1 | What was she thinking? | I am a huge Cornwell fan. I have read every book that has Kay Scarpetta in it. From Postmortem which had me walking around my house making sure that my windows and doors were locked. I can never wait for a new Patricia Cornwell book to come out. I got this book as a present and was so excited until I opened the book. Every attempt that she has made to write a book that doesn't have Dr. Scarpetta in them are terrible. I was getting my car fixed and sat at the dealership for 4 hours and couldn't even get through the first chapter. I thought maybe I just wasn't in the mood to read so I picked it up again, another day. Nope the book is just horrible. The charcaters are boring, the plot is boring, the whole thing is boring. Well I am guessing the whole thing is boring. I hope she goes back to Kay and Lucy and Pete I miss them. It didn't even deserve the 1 star that it made me rate it. | 13 | [

1 | Positively Biased | It is a well known fact that DDP is a no talent in the wrestling business who got to the top by kissing Eric Bischoff's ass. They were next door neighbors for godsakes. DDP's book is full of crap. He never drew flies. His workrate sucked. He was over, but not to were he drew money. The book itself is bad. 400 someodd pages of his life. 200 of it on wrestling. He writes about how he was a bar manager for 200 pages. This was incredible dull. He puts himself over so much that it is tiring and he positively sucked. He was a product of the WCW Bischoff era and we now know why WCW went under. DDP you will never be in the Wrestling Observer Hall of Fame. And that's not a bad thing, that's a good thing. | 15 | [

2 | Great Series. "The Wheel Weaves as the Weel Wills" | THIS SERIES IS GREAT. now that i have that out of the way, to you people that say it has no plot and is going nowhere, the wheel weaves as the weel wills. there is no ending to time. when will you be satisfied that the series is over? there could be 20 books and i would read them (as long as Jordan keeps up the good work) I don't mean to be critical, but the boredom happens in the best of series. I think there is a requirement or something to explain everything as if you are reading the book for the first time. I find this good, as in many series i have to wait a while for the next book to come out. I am currently in about 5 series like that juggling books as they come out. This series is great and i reccomend it. If you don't like where the story is going, then don't read them. thank you. | 11 | [

2 | Magnificent! | This is simply a wonderful album. It is also an HDCD. It's wonderful to hear these pieces from long-gone but fondly remembered movies from my childhood. Luckily, some are reappearing on dvd. A definite 5 star album to treasure. Now, please note that the photo of the album is correct. However, the ones "available" from CDNOW Preferred Buyer's Club are NOT the correct album. I ordered it twice from them, and both times I got a single disc of a few excerpts from GWTW only. When I spoke with CDNOW, the rep told me he would notify amazon and have the listing changed, but they have not done so. The guy I spoke with at CDNOW recommended I try eBay, which I did, and I found a copy in England.The info on my set is:FILMXCD 351,Silva Screen Records, Ltd.,3 Prowse Place, London, NW1 9PHemail: [email protected]: www.silvascreen.co.ukThis item is well worth the search, and I hope this information helps you to find it.

1 | Model 800 Broke After Warranty Expired - Won't Charge | Bought at Home Depot on 10-17-06 for $69.99 + Tax. Worked OK, but did have the annoying battery life and shut-off/restart problems others write about. I was still happy with it until I pulled it out to use it this year. I turned the unit to on, but nothing happened. So, I tried to recharge the battery. Still nothing. Don't know if it's the charger or the battery. So, it's dead after 3 years with very little use in the past 12 months. I was considering the Model 8000 as a replacement, since it's the 10.8 V unit. Looks like I could use that battery for mine, if needed. But, I've read so many bad reviews on this site that I think I'll pass. May go with a corded one the next time. For now, I don't have a project that requires this. It was fun to use with my son on his pinewood derby car. Found other uses, too, but a corded one would have worked fine. | 15 | [

1 | The Tragedy in Denmark | In my opinion all of Shakespeare's writings are long winded, drawn out words with no possibility of ever coming close to being remotly interesting. Hamlet was actually one of the most terribly boring, predictable, useless book ever written. The plot had no vital juices. The charachters were devoid of all emotion and energy. Even more devastating to the book is how it all ended. I actually got to say once Hamlet,Gertrude, and Claudius died I was leaping with joy, it was impossible to contain my excitment. Why? Because it meant that if every one is dead, well, IT IS FINALLY OVER! Finally, this book not only is long, boring, and an embaressment to the whole romantic time period. It has no long lasting effect on anyone. So, what I'm trying to say is that any poor, unfortunate soul that has to read this book will never even understand let alone remember what actually went on through the course of the play. | 11 | [

1 | "Alive" is brain dead! | This movie started off interesting enough. A man murders the gang that raped his girlfriend and is placed in the electric chair. When the voltage fails to kill him, he is given the option to live or to be fried again. He chooses life. Enter storyline #2. He is put into what seems to be a "Cube" type experiment: locked in a metal room with a psychotic man who claims to have also escaped The Chair. It appears some government scientists are testing how long it will take these two to kill each other. But that's not it. Enter storyline #3. A beautiful woman appears to the men. It seems she is the host for an alien entity that her father contracted from eating a baboon that visited a spaceship in the jungle (Oh, how I wish I were making that up!). The remainder of the film is a mess of Hell images, Kung-fu showdowns with cloned super-soldiers, and random shootings that make no earthly sense. Someone should have read the script for "Alive" and pronounced this film D.O.A. instead. | 14 | [

2 | What a delight.... | Thank You Nora Roberts for very satisfying ending to the Chesapeake Bay Series with Seth's story! The book had me hooked from the begining, taking us back to the fateful car ride to Maryland with a 10 year old Seth. It jumps us to the "now" with Cam, Ethan and Phillip and their families still loving and living at Ray and Stella's home by the shore. Seth returns running from his demon and wants the security that was always home. He is a young master painter who has travled the world. He comes back to St. Chris and meets flower shop owner Druscilla, who is running away as well. The true wonder of the story is the rich comlexities of the brother's relationships. Ms. Roberts blends in humor and more importantly--overwhelming love. I wonder if the Quinn's would adopt me. I could see a book for Aubrey, but time will tell. Thanks Nora Roberts for the amazingly complicated Quinn Boys.P.S. Thanks for Stella, too! | 12 | [

1 | Great singer, glad she left her label | A beautiful voice with some interesting nonstandard formats. Nellie is very refreshing and I would refer her to anybody in a second. BUT!!! this lousy label she recorded this wonderful music on limits me from hearing her on all my listening devices. This is a locked (anti-theft) CD so I can't import to my iPod (thanks SO very much). It plays only on my main stereo equipment, not my Mac or car stereo. In other words, it's an event if I want to listen to her music. I can't casually listen to Nellie. I say, Nellie, Get Away From THEM! I'm glad you left that label! Good luck to you! I hope all recording artists wake up and free themselves from this horrible, limiting "locked" format! Nellie gets 5 stars. Recording label, a negative 100000000. By the way, just download this from the iTunes store. | 15 | [

2 | Cute British series about a housewife starting a new career... | I'm an anglophile from way back when. I'm always on the lookout for anything new. This is a cutey cozy mystery series. Hetty Waintropp is tired of being a housewife and decides to start a career as a private detective. Hetty is smart, driven, capable and knows how to get things done. With the help of a young teenager and her retired husband, she manages to seek out and solve cases she encounters.It can be a bit slow at times. It isn't a fast moving show, but it moves along at a steady pace. I enjoy this series. It makes you think. It does a terrific job of highlighting Hetty in her job. If you are a fan of British television, or crime mysteries, you might find this series worthy of your time. I have no problem recommending it. | 12 | [

I have a great CD player on which to play this CD. However, I would also like to have the freedom to listen to the tunes when I am working on my computer at home, at work, out on a jog, etc. I was hoping to use one of the songs in slide show I am compiling for a famliy function. All of these are legal, personal uses. But, no way! This is the most NON-user friendly album I have ever owned (I wish I could take it back). I will never buy another Ryan Shupe/Rubberband product.

Though his misplaced loyalties and devotion to Bushido lead him deeper and deeper into the tangled web of the paranoic, machiavellian shogunate, his iron will, sense of rightness, and remembrance of promises made, lift him out of certain doom and into the good graces of the shogun himself. Will Sano's promotion be the well-deserved ending we hoped for? I can't wait to read more! Laura Joh Rowland has given us a new hero worthy of a hopefully long and prosperous series. Thanks!Note: I picked up "The Samurai's Wife" for a quick read. After a few chapters, I simply had to go out and find Shinju to start at the beginning of this enchanting series . . . It took some digging to find "Bundori" (No. 2) and "The Way of the Traitor" (No. 3?). "The Concubine's Tattoo" is still available. I'll report back after reading these. It should not take long! | 16 | [

2 | Wonderful item | Easy to use. Many uses. Does an excellent job steaming. Easy to clean. Sometimes a little difficult to empty drip tray if full. My only main negative is that there is too much consensation dripiing, which probably doeswn't happen in a bamboo steamer. Other than that, highly recommended. Hard boiling eggs couldn't be easier. Steaming frozen food is a breeze. Steaming sea food works well. Every home should have one. | 11 | [

1 | This product does not work | I purchased this rock polisher for my son for christmas. He was so excited. I had read other reviews so was expecting this to be noisy and take time. What I was not prepared for was that this product does not work. I used all the premeasured stones, I even decreased the amount of stones and it would work for about 10 minutes then shut off. I got it on sale and would have cost me almost as much to mail it back for the return as I paid for it. Do not waste your money. Buy a more expensive product with proven track record. Terrible disappointment for my 8 year old! Luckily, I had a friend at work that had an old polisher her kids no longer used. The one she gave us worked great. | 11 | [

2 | Netipots are an excellent way to irrigate your sinuses | My name is Jordan S. Josephson, M.D. F.A.C.S. and I am the author of the book Sinus Relief Now recently published by Penguin Books. The book is about sinus problems, allergy, asthma, snoring sleep apnea and gastro-esophageal reflux (GERD). I am a total believer in patients irrigating their sinuses on a daily basis. Irrigation removes infection, allergens and irritants. I personally suffer from sinus problems and irrigate myself. I recommend irrigation to all of my patients. Netipots are a very effective way to clean out your nose and sinuses. This is an excellent product. I recommend and show you how to use netipots in my book Sinus Relief Now. | 11 | [

2 | Finally a good RPG! | Nintendo needed some more RPGs ever since Squaresoft went to Playstation. I like RPGs and I now have to rely on Game Boy Advance and Zelda games. If you love RPGs too and/or have a Dreamcast. I reccommend this game. It is non-stop action and is the first online game for Nintendo. The only thing different compared to the Dreamcast version might be the graphics and controls. They will be a little better on the Gamecube. Don't listen to some people who say the Xbox version is better. The controls are harder to master and the controller itself is big and clunky. (It itself is almost the size of a Gamecube). And the graphics would be so close you wouldn't be able to tell the difference. | 11 | [

1 | Something Rotten? This "novel!" | When we read the original VALLEY OF THE DOLLS(sometimes even sneak reading it), we knew we were reading trash. But it was enjoyable trash, with a storyline that just didn't quit. Supposidly Susann spent months writing the outline for this sequel. Did author Lawrence read it? Don't think so. The writing itself isn't bad, sometimes even admirable, but the story is just so bad it isn't even funny. And, the entire book covers 14 years continuously....yet it is just a few pages over 300 and lots of space and large type there. Think the "novelist" knew it was a loser and wanted to get back to her own, more resonable, writings so she dashed this out...saving anything good for her own books. Save your money on this one. It purports to be a sequel to VALLEY, but, in reality, it's not.....just bad is all. For a much better read, try LONELY JUNCTIONS by R C Lemos. Now THAT'S a story that doesn't quit! | 12 | [

1 | Does this book have a plot??? | Or did I just miss it? Make no mistake - usually I actually find a guilty pleasure in reading trashy novels about society life in NYC - mostly because the books are dead on, in a satirical way. I suppose this book does touch upon shallow real life figures - but somehow this book manages to be even more dull and pathetic than the very people it aims to knock. Either I'm as dumb as Janey, or I just can't figure out what this book was about? Who cares about what happens to any of these people? Hmmm, does she like Bill or Seldon or Zizi or Comstock or George or Harold? Are we supposed to get it? Or care?? Is it really just nothing more than what she can get from them? Okay, fine. But wait - what is it that she getting from them? It's not even like I don't like the plot...I just can't find the plot. Here the author has an insider's view to write some type of satirical fiction....but we get about as much as what's in janey's head.....nothing. | 13 | [

2 | Zno is the Realest Since Pac Been Alive | "...If Eminem wanna squash beef tell him call meI'll meet him anywhere he can bring his whole army . . .Zno is the realest since Pac been alive"That last line is the truest statement out of the whole verse. If you've seen the video for the song Look Into My Eyes you will understand that Benzino has been through it all. For all you Eminem/50 Cent lovers just listen to his mixtape stuff and new album again. Listen closely. On one song (I won't say which one here I will let you find it for yourself) 50 Cent actually asks the question if it is wrong for him to rat and be a stool pigeon. He doesn't just hint at it, he comes out and asks it. He is what he is. Benzino lived the life. Read the facts. Research Benzino. He is real. That's not why I am giving it 5 stars. I am giving it 5 stars because its hot. Cop it and you won't be sorry. | 16 | [

1 | Hype + Misleading reviews= bad purchase. | It's becoming quite bothersome to me when I purchase records that I hear so many good things about, but fail to deliver. I've heard nothing but good things about both the BOTW records so I purchased them. I can't convey how mediocre these albums are. It's straight-up hipster music made by hipsters...for hipsters. No depth to the songs what so ever. They're probably not junkies but they try very hard to sound like them and the music would probably sound good if I was shooting smack. But I'm not. It's one thing to rip off your elders and influences,thats fine. But at least write good songs if you're going to do that. The vocals, especially the male vocals, are so abarasive I find myself just changing the song it's so unbearable. There are a few decent songs, mostly the ones sung by the sister. I wish there were more honest reviews out there. This is not groundbreaking...its not even melodic or remotley interesting. | 13 | [

1 | Read this before purchase! | ... All the things that THQ & "RAW IS WAR" was quoted as saying would be included were lies. There is no season mode. There is no story mode. You cannot chance the superstars. There is no backstage. Wrestling fans know that wrestling changes from week to week and you need a game that is able to chance also. This game was outdated way before it came to shelves. There are too many missing superstars and the visuals could be much better considering that this is for the X-box. I don't know what the PS2 version looks like, but I know that the N64 No Mercy, as a game, is much, much better. I'm very disappointed in THQ as well as in Microsoft for having me wait for this ... game. If you're a wrestling fan, don't buy this game, don't rent this game, don't play this game. I had to give this game one star, but it's really only worth half a star. | 12 | [

1 | If it worked, it would probably be swell. But it doesn't, now the Hell... | So I am writing this as I wait, 20 min so far, still on hold after navigating the maze to live rep somewhere on planet earth. The machine came, the beater bar worked for about 20 sec then dead. I have bought all my Apple Computers refurbished, 6 to date, never a problem. This is the first Amazon refurb I bought, BIG MISTAKE!!!!. Apparently from the other reviews, it's a crap shoot if you get a good one, well we pulled snake eyes. I could have driven to Costco and back in the time I have been on hold for both Dyson and now Amazon. Speaking of Costco they have the Animal, wheel model not ball for only 350, as soon as this is finally done I am going there and get one there. WTF? Do they even repair these things? All I can do is share my experiences, all BAD. Do not buy one of these. | 11 | [

2 | Same high quality as the 1st ed., but with a prettier front cover | I bought this encyclopedia for my 7 year-old daughter who is obsessed with the great cats. She was thrilled! We had borrowed the previous edition (with the tree frog on the front) from the library, so I already knew that she loved the book. But now, with the tiger on the front, it's one of her favorite possessions. We're a month past Christmas, and she is still consulting this book regularly, drawing pictures of the various animals shown in full-color, and learning so many facts that she's becoming a walking encyclopedia herself. The organization and layout is very user-friendly. This is not an alphabetized A-Z book of animals. The mammals, insects, birds, etc. are all groups according to categories of related creatures. This is a very helpful feature. We give the book two thumbs up!! | 12 | [

2 | Absolutely my favorite cooking tool! | Ok, so Woks are cool. Everybody knows that. What is so cool about this one is the cast iron. No other Wok, whether rolled steel or non-stick crapware aluminum can compare, period. The weight and mass of this Wok retain heat longer giving less of a temperature shift as you add and remove food while cooking. This means more consistent and predictable results making even a novice look (and taste) like a pro.It may even smooth out the weird pulse on/off heating thing electric stoves do, but don't quote me on that! So cast iron does make cooking on electric almost feasible but I personally would never have an electric stove in my house!REMEMBER! Slowly warm it up! Start on low until the pan stabilizes in temperature then adjust higher. Starting it directly on high or medium will result in it cracking.I will be buying all of my Lodge cast iron through Amazon now. The service was fast and I didn't have to around to different stores to find it, and this is a rare piece! | 11 | [

2 | Super Blade !! | I got this blade a few days ago and it rocks!! I think it is the easiest model to make. IT IS A GREAT blade! It has a great defence, a ok attack, And better enderence than its last one. It also has the BEST attack. It is called wingdager. To do it have your lanucher high above the arena. Then, you lanuch it and push the launcher down. It should bounce high and come back down. When it comes down it spins faster so its a win-win deal if you hit it or not!! It takes a lot of practice. ...Thank You. | 12 | [

2 | It's a great book. | I saw that new movie ,Anchorman: The legend of Ron Burgundy, I thought it was funny. The fight seen was cool. I like pizza, and pecan pie at the Great American Steak and Buffet restaurant is good. I prefer girls with dark hair. I'm not taking any classes right now. This morning I ate mixed fruit and had a pack of twinkies. I chased it all down with some Nestle quick chocolate milk, the fat free kind. I think its weird that the Nestle chocolate milk has an expiration date that is like 2 months longer than the dates on regular milk. I want to go to the beach, that would be nice. Oh, yeah, they're going to re-release Donnie Darko in the theatres soon, it's the director's cut. I'm happy now. | 11 | [

2 | Best kitchen, best price, hours of fun!!! | I had bought the Lifestyle Dream Kitchen $149 by Step 2 for my 2 yr old for Christmas. It was not a big hit. I did more research, and found this one. It was set up at the store and it blew my mind- and my daughter's! The faucet makes a running water noise, the burners on stove make noises controlled by turning the dials, or setting the pan, pot or tea kettle on them (it sizzles, bubbles and makes the tea kettle whistle), the oven lights up when you turn the dial and dings when it's done, and it comes with plenty of accessories including food! It is not as sturdy and durable or well made as the Step 2 and Little Tykes kitchens, but it is by far a better toy! At this price you can't beat it! My daughter loves it and it really holds her attention. I love the little details like the magic cookbook with recipies and the little clock or the hook for the spatula and spoon. It talks, but it is not annoying at all. Really cute!!! Highly recommended! | 12 | [

1 | Shallowness Reaches New Depths | With this book, Bret Easton Ellis has invented new ways of sucking up contemporary literature. I can't believe I read the whole thing; it's not as if there was anything enjoyable or resourceful about it. In fact, I'll say if your idea of a good time is masturbation and murder, this is your new manual. This guy is the literary equivalent of John Hinkley, Jr. That bit about Jamie Gertz? Whatever. It's as though Ellis tried to compress an INXS video into the space of 400 pages. All that self-righteous bum torture and the horribly monotonous insights into what everyone was wearing? It drove me up the wall! How'd he get away with publishing this?! I thought the days of William S. Burroughs and purposless polemics were gone forever, but I guess I was wrong. Seal the vault on this steaming pile and read something else. So vain and meritricious! I'm going to go sedate myself, watch Bambi, and wash my brain out with soap. | 13 | [

1 | Author's youth can only excuse it, not save it | I picked this up for a nice break after reading quite a bit of informative non-fiction, knowing that a children's phenomenon would probably be a fun read. And I have absolutely no bias against the children's section; I love it, and think Harry Potter needs to be on the regular best-seller lists. Unfortunately, this one disappoints. Ugh. I struggled to finish.If you think this is a great read, then congratulations on finding the fantasy genre. You can definitely find better, everywhere. I don't mind the lack of originality that most people harp on. At least the tried-and-true plotlines make the story move (thus two stars). But the dialogue sounds like people talk in essay format. I get that Paolini is young, so let's wait until he learns to write and then praise him. After all, youth isn't a literary quality; it's an excuse for lack thereof. | 11 | [

2 | Do yourself a favor - READ IT! | If you don't pick up another book this year, grab this one. I just finished "Hot Six" and I'm still smiling. Last year I was furious when I finished "High Five" and realized I would have to wait for this book to find out who was knocking at Stephanie's door. It was so much worse than waiting to find out who shot J.R. Ewing! But the wait proved worthwhile. I took the book with me to get my hair done this morning and really did embarrass myself as I couldn't stop laughing out loud. As usual, Janet Evanovich manages to keep her story moving at a brisk pace and keep us up to date with all of our favorite Trenton residents. (Knowing Grandma Mazur is driving is one really good reason to stay out of Trenton though. Especially when you know she's always packing!) I don't want to give away anything, but Janet, could you please hurry up with Book Seven? Give up those book signing tours, just keep writing! Damn skippy! | 12 | [

1 | I laughed out loud....once. | Some of these reviews call this his best stuff, and a top performance. I'd say of the 14 comedy albums I own it's my 14th favorite. What's wrong? It's just not that funny.Lewis is one of those comics that's really wound. He gets all riled up about things. Pissed at this, pissed at that, F this, F that. I like some good cussing, but I think he used the F word 230 times. Loses it's shock value after about 5. But like I have said, he's mad, but the jokes and real humor is just not there. There's almost no wit. It's all observational. He's like an older and angrier Dane Cook.Now I don't mean to say I hate this album, or I don't like Lewis Black. There's just so many others I'd rather hear first. Like.....everybody. | 14 | [

1 | Repetitive and uninvolving. | I like Terry Brooks, and enjoyed the first book in this series. It was cute and fun. This book, however, is akin to running in circles. Ben, the main character, is made to look like someone else by an evil wizard, who in turn, steals his identity. Good so far. Then Ben spends nearly 300 pages trying to convince his friends of who he really is. Now you lost me, Mr. Brooks.Your characters can't possibly be THIS stupid. As a reader, it's frustrating seeing the story take so long to get to the point. For another, I didn't know or care what the black unicorn was or why everyone wanted it. I stopped reading at page 250-something (out of 309 pages). If it takes longer than that to reveal such an important plot point, you just didn't tell the story correctly. I think I'll abandon this series now. | 12 | [

1 | AWFUL!!!!!!!!!!! | I have one of these new made in China Cobra 148 GTLs and it is NOTHING like the older ones made back in the early 1990s and late 1980s. Mine quit less than 24 hours after obtaining it. No transmit and no receive... Nothing. Now i have to get it fixed... What a joke! Cobra used to be a top name in CB circles and now they have made a bad name for themselves. Of course Uniden no longer makes anything for Cobra anymore... I hate to say it but Cobra better get thier act together or they will go the way of Robyn, Teaberry, Lafayette, and a few others into the dustbin of CB history... I wouldnt touch one of these loser radios with a 10 foot pole!!! STAY AS FAR AWAY FROM THIS LEMON AS POSSIBLE!!!!!! | 11 | [

2 | Best I've used.... | After reading the Cooks Illustrated review on these went to Amazon. CI rated them tops and they're usually right. These things are great! I've owned several different poultry shears and they never worked. I always went back to using a knife. These aren't marketed as poultry shears, but they do the job very well. Something about the leverage they provide just works. One other thing: You know how you have those lids that have loose handles? You always mean to fix it but don't want to get a screwdriver right in the middle of prepping a meal? This has a little screwdriver that is just the right size. I know, kind of minor, but I use it all the time and find it a great addition. Anyway, I love these things and highly recommend them. I am a gadget type of guy. This is one that's worth it if you're willing to pay. | 14 | [

1 | It's fried | I bought the Palm Tungsten E2 Handheld PDA about three months ago. In the meantime, I've spent almost $200 in software and an SD card. It was totally loaded as I wanted. I had only recharged four times, at most. Everything was perfect, I was in love.Then a fatal error. Recovered from that. Then, another fatal error. I lost access to all programs on main harddrive(?). When I tried to reformat and start over, I couldn't get back to the main menu. No resetting, nothing. When it was off, I noticed that there was a burned spot in the screen. It's fried.Back to the drawing board. I'm almost forced to go back to Palm because of the investment I have in software.Needless to say, PLEASE don't buy this piece of junk. | 13 | [

2 | Laughton is Amazing | Charles Laughton is one of the great actors of all time. Watching this version of Vitor Hugo's novel it is not hard to see why. Laughton looks like he was born to play Quasimodo, the deaf and disfigured bell keeper of Notre Dome Cathedral. Wearing heavy face make up and a body suit, Laughton literally transformed himself to play the part. This novel has been adapted several times for the screen , but this is the best one. The performances are on the whole excellent. Particularly Cedric Hardwicke as the cold Chief Justice of Paris. Maureen O'Hara also gives a strong performance as Esmeralda. The direction of William Dieterle is very good, although he concentates a little too much on the subplots at times. On the whole this is an excellent film, that despite it's age, hardly seems dated. The story is a timeless classic and so is this film. Watch it just for Laughton's performance. | 12 | [

2 | MY ALL-TIME FAVE CD! | Hybrid Theory is the greatest album ever released, and in my opinion even better than Nirvana's Nevermind. I would rate all songs a 5, except for #11 (all sampling by the DJ). I would give this track a 4. My friend hates rock altogether, but he loves the rapcore flow of this album. I have bought this CD on two occassions. (I lost it once LOL) This album is perfect for a person who has lots of drama in their life, cuz they can relate to the lyrics. Let me tell ya, I can understand where LP is coming from. My favorite tracks are Crawling, Pushing Me Away and With You. This CD only leaves my CD player when I am taking it somewhere else to play, wheter its a discman, a friend's house or the car. I can't leave home without this CD, except for whe I got basketball. LOL But I just hope that no one forgets to pick up this CD. What other album would be ranked #2 on the charts after it's been released for 60+ weeks?! | 13 | [

2 | The two times I met SRV.... | If you are in my age group, you may remember watching the 1983 airing of Austin city limits, In the pre 10,000 channel days of TV. I was in high school, and saw a guitar player for the first time, who took my breath away...nobody did VooDoo-Chile!...Voodoo was sacred ground. Stevie not only played it, he respected it. WHAT A THRILL! The 1989 show showed a refined, matured, and best of all clean Stevie, at the top of his game. His facial expressions that were part of his playing were there, but now mixed with alot of smiles. What an Impact SRV made on people, players, and music in America. This is one of the Best Vid's out there, for the music, the guitar player, or the inspiration to transform your life. If I had to have one SRV video, this is it! The video work, camera shots & editing are superb. Double Trouble needs recognition here too, ALL superb players and again at the top of their game. THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES!! RIP Stevie, "will see ya in the next one." | 13 | [

2 | Fabulous! | I received a recommendation from another website about this being the number one carpet cleaner for working moms. I found the cleaner online at Amazon; it's not in stores. This machine is a hard working, quiet and thorough cleaner. Easy to use; used hot tap water and the cleaning was amazing. We bought the cleaner to help with our pet stains. Will need to spot clean pop and food stains from my family. My 15 year-old high traffic carpeting looked like new after we used the cleaner. We have no complaints. We are thrilled. You won't believe the filthy water it picks up! Worth every penny! | 11 | [

2 | An "unsinkable" classic | Forget the negative criticisms - 11 Academy Awards says it all. Mind you, I think they were robbed. Especially Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio who kept the story (pardon the pun) afloat during this 3 hour epic. I usually become bored with long romance movies, but this had me rivetted throughout. 3 hours? Seemed like 45 minutes. It passed so quickly! James Cameron you are a genius! You deserve every penny that falls into your pocket for having the balls to defy the Hollywood moguls' penny pinching and make "Titanic" how YOU wanted it to be made. My only criticism with the DVD is that there is no behind-the-scenes footage, doco or deleted scenes....and we know there are many that hit the cutting room floor. No doubt a "director's cut - special edition" is on the drawing boards....you crafty lot! I wait with baited breath. | 12 | [

1 | A long Trip Down Memory Lane to Nowhere | I wanted to like this book. I wanted it to live up to it seeming potential. In the end this novel was a waste of time and a disappointment. This is a big book that traces the lives of a group of CIA operative from the post-War era to the present. Littel sets the story, covers the details, and gets you interested. The next thing you know Littel has spun out some amateurish and unbelieveable plot line, complete with factual mistakes and details that don't ring true. Littel is a reasonably talented writer who just can't tell a story or who doesn't really have a story to tell. To compare him to LeCarre or even Alan Furst is just plain wrong. The Company is just a waste of time. Too bad. This could have turned out to be a hell of a book in the hands of a better writer. | 11 | [

1 | Not tender | We were very disappointed in this product. I had read the reviews and was expecting a delicious, theater quality popcorn. I popped it according to directions in our stove top Whirley Pop. The popcorn was not tender at all, tasted old and chewy, with a lot of the hard hull remaining on the popped product. The popcorn also had a very strange heavy after taste and an odd smell. Another reviewer mentioned a slight coconut oil after taste, this was not slight but very pronounced. Our kids, who can each eat a bag of popped corn a piece during a movie--even if it's scorched, didn't like it at all. We each took a couple of bites and threw the entire bowl out. It was awful! If I can, I will return it and ask for a refund....if I can't, I will toss it out. I won't even donate it to the food bank...it was that bad. | 11 | [

2 | Great Series/Great Packaging | Anyone who has seen this show knows this is a series worth getting. I have owned individual volumes of the series but had not bought them all. So, I jumped at the chance to get the series all in one set of packaging. The packaging is the nicest I have seen for any DVD set I have owned. First, there is the slip cover picturing Batman swinging. Underneath is a long black box with a cool Batman silhouette ingrained on the left side. Inside the box are 2 thick plastic cases. Each case is the length and width of any normal DVD case. The width is thicker though as 8 DVDs are contained in each case. Inside the case, you can flip through to the DVD you want to watch. The DVDs are well-protected. No worries about damaged DVDs with online orders. The set also includes a volume index with drawings and artwork at the end to enjoy as well. | 13 | [

2 | OK Mask | I ordered this about a couple months ago and still have it (after a few adjustments). The foam inside the mask comes off easily but, you can just hotglue it back on. I use this for airsoft. For a good fit just put on a backwards hat or else it will slide off. The top visor broke off which is fine. The safty plastic is a great quality and works but if you get shot it leaves a small mark on the plastic which is annoying but will come off with a wet wipe. It has no fog when you breathe. That is exactly what it looks like in the picture. The shipping gets you which is 5 to 10$. but hey I still have it and it works! Spend your money on a high quality mask (this one won't last long unless if you take good care of it and pull it of carefully). | 11 | [

2 | When you gotta go, you gotta go. | I remember this book from way back. It was the first one of the series that I ever read. I was getting a little tired of goosebumps and wanted to read something with a little more punch. This one had it. It had everything that I wasn't expecting. Ghosts coming to and fro. Coffins that break through the floor like in poltergiest. It's really a good read. A big departure from R.L. Stine's work . . .which is what is so good about it. This author doesn't hold back on the thrills. If anthing, he throws them in your eyesight. Enjoy! | 15 | [

2 | Ridiculous & insulting? Yes,but these days someone is offended by everything. | This was acceptable in 43 so consider the context. Our whole history is ignorantly racist. As a movie it is another in the eternal struggle between good & bad for our souls. Rex Ingram plays Lucifer jr. is hilarious & maybe the best thing in this movie. Agents for God & the Devil are competing for the soul of Little Joe played by Eddie "Rochester" Anderson. He's lazy weak-willed gambler. His wife Petunia (Ethel Waters)continually wastes God's time praying for Joe. She doesn't want to spend eternity in heaven alone. Several of the co-stars transended race entirely. Duke Ellington & Louis Armstrong appear briefly. Then there is a beatiful, young Lena Horne. The star, Rochester, finds stardom later on tv's Jack Benny show. Diva Ethel Waters was reprising her broadway role. Her's is a beautiful voice. It's basically a musical, so enjoy. | 15 | [

1 | Boring click fest | First of all, this game is NOT an RPG. It's just a simple point and click adventure game. The only RPG thing about this game is you can level up your character and chose from 5 stats to level up. If you want a real RPG, buy fallout. The Fallout series has over 10 stats to chose from, is much more fun, and it is a REAL RPG. This game isn't much fun online, either. And the same quests over and over and over in the single player game doesn't do much for the game, either. The monsters are all the same with just new colours. Plus the save system stinks, you have to exit the whole game to save, whoever made that funtion needs to be beat. Blizzard is going down the tube. Buy Fallout, it's 50 times better. | 11 | [

1 | Stay away..... This is Junk! | I bought this for my son for his 5th birthday. I put it together like I have with all the other battery powered ride-ons we own. I noticed right away it was junk. Everything is plastic. When I finished I told him go easy with it because its not made very well and looks like it will break. Sure enough not even three weeks went by and the gears broke. It would not go in reverse. I took it back to the store and they replaced the broken gear. Almost a month later the gear broke again. Does not go in reverse. Fixed it again. We just took it out for spring May 2005 and guess what? Gear broke again. Only this time it will not go anywhere. My son is very careful with his toys. We have a jeep and a Quad that he has had since he was 3 yrs old and they both work just fine. The Gator is JUNK!! Do not buy it. I did purchase the protection plan and the store is working on what they can do for me. I would love to return it. | 20 | [

1 | Filmed On Location in My Hometown | This low, low-budget film was shot on location at Willow Grove Park in the early 1970's. The park was once a grand amusement park just outside Philadelphia. During its heyday, the park was a thriving landmark and was the summer home of John Phillip Susa. By the time this movie was shot at the park, it was a moribund faade of its former glory. This just adds to the creepiness of the atmosphere of this film. I grew up in Willow Grove. The park was a large part of my childhood. I watched the film recognizing images of my feckless youth flicker by my eyes. If you grew up in the area and fondly remember Willow Grove Park, do your self a favor and seek out this film. It will give you a rush of memories. The park is now longer there. It is now a shopping mall that bears its name. | 12 | [

2 | Loved It | Once again, don't pay such close attention to the reviews. It is all a matter of personal opinion. I really enjoyed both of Zane's stories. I just love everything that she writes. Her style, her description words, and sexual scenes. Zane is just awesome! She hasn't written anything I haven't enjoyed. The twin story was wild. I also enjoyed Delusions. It was comical to me. Another author I believe is a star writer is Shonda Cheeks. I truly enjoyed it. It is more like a love story. I am waiting to read her book Another Man's Wife. The other stories were just o.k. to me. But Bravo Zane and Shonda!! | 18 | [

1 | Not Happy | I placed my order based upon all the good reviews. My aloe plant arrived in horrible condition. Only 2 leaves out of nine were in halfway decent shape. It was covered in old gashes & wounds. It also looked like it had insect damage, but I was told it didn't. It was obviously in bad condition BEFORE it was shipped. Packing materials & box were in perfect condition and there was no evidence of plant damage on any of the materials. Vendor looked at my photos and told me the plant looked fine. I was instructed to trim off damage, which wouldn't have left much of the plant! I was offered refund if I returned it, but I didn't want to spend any more on this mistake! I have owned aloe plants my entire life and was shocked at the condition of this plant! It reminded me of Charlie Brown's Christmas tree! | 12 | [

1 | Moderately Dissappointed | Moderately DissappointedThe peak volume is low. You can shuffle with albums on an MP3 disc. Has no radio. Has a sucky bass boost. No remote. Good battery life. Small display. Tacky feel.I'm getting the D-NF420PSBLUE. Although it's twice the price, it's a hundred times better. Even allows ATRAC format.As for this, I'm putting a Hilary Duff CD in it and lighting it on fire. Hallelujah. | 11 | [

2 | Halo 21 | Everyday is Exactly the same. Its a good effort, it starts off with Everday is Exactly the Same which of course is good by it self I mean if you dont like the song why buy the single for it? It goes into to already released The Hand That Feeds remixs. Which if you have a open mind and are not just for NIN only style then you will enjoy them. That leads into two Only remixes. Which in my opinion are the best on the album. More of a dance kind of feel to them. Which leads to the last song The remix of the single. Its good, has a very trance like feel. If your a fan of NIN or you just want to check them out this is a good start. Not the best, but you wont throw this away. | 11 | [

2 | Stunningly & Ironically Beautiful | This books is incredible. The photos themselves are so rich with texture and color that it feels as if you are experiencing that very moment with the subjects. The photos are of National Geographic quality. They will move you. It's easy to forget the genuine value of individuality because we're so caught up in our looks and in trying to be the best. It is filled with women from every type of work, socioeconmic status, region, and experience. Every reader will be able to relate immediatly. This book takes an ordinary moment in time and makes it a glittering treasure. I bought this for my mom and we sat and absorbed each page together and it really brought us closer and created interesting discussions about women in our society. It is thought provoking, visually pristine, and will stir up a bit of magic in your soul. Postive, enlightening, and worth every penny. The absolute perfect gift for any women of any walk of life. | 12 | [

1 | A nun at St Colman's | Hard to believe that the author is peddling her book on several ISP message boards and claims that she abused a nun at St Colman's, but according to the book, "she was abused." This is a deeply disturbed and severely damaged person with issues of hate, bigotry and anger. I read the book and it was "thrown away." I should have read the NY book reviews earlier. They quickly rejected it for lack of content and fakery.Author's quote: I SIMPLY WOULD NOT ALLOW THEM TO PHYSICALLY ABUSE ME. IF THEY HIT ME I HIT THEM BACK. I WAS FOLLOWING A BASIC CHRISTIAN PRINCIPAL. DO UNTO OTHERS AND ALL THAT. I TOLD SISTER REGINA MORE THAN ONCE, IF YOU HIT ME I WILL HIT YOU BACK. SHE DID, SO I DID. WHAT'S WRONG WITH THAT? HOW MANY PEOPLE NOW OR IN YOUR CHILDHOOD WOULD ALLOW SOMEONE TO HIT THEM ON A DAILY [email protected] | 12 | [
