Great long lasting battery | Works way better than having to make sure all my AA batteries were charged.
Unless I forgot to charge the battery this one has never died on me when I needed it.
Reliable long lasting. G2G |
Replaced 5 year old Nuvi | Replaced my 5 year old Nuvi because the sound was fading. Older nuvi was hard to see in sunlight, this unit is not effected at all by sun glare. In older unit you were able to go from map view to trip computer with one touch. New unit requires going from map view to menu to second page on menu before you can select trip computer. |
This is a great case! It fits great | This is a great case !

A good introduction to feminism and socialism | What is the relationship between feminism and socialism? Should women wait until the socialist future to pursue their demands for equality? As young women were debating these ideas in the women's liberation movement of the 1960s and 70s, many of us had no idea that our predecessors in the early Marxist movements in the US and Europe grappled with the same questions--until we read this pamphlet. Waters shows how important the fight for women's equality is in the struggle to overthrow capitalism. And how women can only win complete liberation through a socialist revolution.
You'll relive the important debates that took place in the early socialist and communist organizations. And you'll meet the early feminists who stood their ground within these movements to champion the cause of women. Waters describes the radical measures taken by the early revolutionary government in the USSR to liberate women from their subordinate place in society. She also explains how these progressive acts were later reversed by the Stalinist regime. |
Enjoyable read for any 10 year old who loves playing ... | Enjoyable read for any 10 year old who loves playing basketball. They should reprint this book to make it more available. |
This book is definitively for young adults and even I enjoyed reading it | This book is definitively for young adults and even I enjoyed reading it. My only problem was I just could not pronounce the names of some of the characters in the book--but you can't go by me--some of the names in Harry Potter got me too. I think only kids can get these names! As in any good book the characters are well defined--both the good ones and the bad. Although you might think by the title of this book that there is a lot of time travel--not so much. It is more about Time Travelers themselves.
There are really nice illustrations throughout the book which give you an idea of what each Time Traveler looks like--The only reason I am going to tell parents to read this before handing it over is there are a couple of pages that describe in detail the methods used in olden times to interrogate people and they are not pretty! |
Great product, easy installation | Exactly what we wanted. Installation was easy and works perfectly. So much easier to keep clean. |
Best grinder for under $250 | This is a superb coffee grinder. I've been using the grinder for about a year. There is no question that this grinder provides more consistent grinding than any other burr grinder that I've purchased under $250. Recently, I have started making Turkish coffee, which requires a very, very fine grind, usually requiring a special electric grinder. I set the Hario ceramic grinder to a very fine setting, and was able to grind the coffee even finer than I had purchased from a Middle Eastern coffee shop. Clearly, the main downside to this mill is that you need to do it all by hand. There is a special rhythm that you can get into if you want. If not, you can use an electric drill with the appropriate sized nut bit, and it goes a lot quicker. |
I wouldn't be that strict | Yes, technical drawbacks are obvious, but after all - this is Bill Evans... I don't quite like the idea of this overdubbed records, but as a real Bill Evans fan I'd go for this record as well |
great christmas present | This was supposed to be a Christmas gift and I'm so happy with it. Its a lot bigger than I thought, which is great. It also arrived super fast. |
Best Chisel set I have had | This is by far the best wood chisel set I have ever owned it is very sharp, holds an edge and the multiple sizes come in handy on many jobs. |
My Love for Tobacco Brown | This is my third Saddleback Leather iPhone case, and my second case in tobacco brown. What I like about the tobacco is that it starts out as a very nice light brown, but with time and everyday usage, develops a wonderful patina. Living in an area where leather cleaning and conditioning products are non-existent, I decided to clean my iPhone 4 case (tobacco brown) using rubbing alcohol and to condition with olive oil. This happened to darken the leather ever so slightly, but not enough to distract from it's handsomeness. On a recent trip back to the US, I purchased the Chamberlain's Leather Milk (no. 1). Not only did it condition quite nicely, but it brought it back to it's previously aged patina look. [Yes, 2 reviews in 1!]
The fit of the case is very tight at first. As in, you may wonder how the phone will ever come out. In each case, it's only taken a few days to a week (depending on usage) for the phone to slide in and out comfortably. Even when fully broken in, the iPhone fits snugly in the leather.
Since the iPhone 5/5s have the audio jack located at the bottom of the phone, simply insert the phone upside-down into the case to easily access the port.
I don't know of any hard shelled case that can be used in conjunction with the leather case, but screen protectors will work just fine. |
but great guide for photo ID and at home | Too big to carry in backpack, but great guide for photo ID and at home identification |
I cannot express how much I love this! I have been using this product for ... | I cannot express how much I love this! I have been using this product for only a week and can already tell the difference! My eyelashes used to be thin but since using the Eyelash Growth Serum, I can see that my eyelashes are longer and fuller! Just what every girl wants. I can't believe the turn out after only a week. Some reviews have said that it could take up to a month before you see results but maybe I'm just a little different because of where my eyelashes have always been thin. I'm not the kind of person who likes thin eyebrows so to see this thicken mine is a shock. I highly recommend this product to anyone willing to get longer, thicker, more luscious eyelashes without having to get a prescription from a doctor. My only recommendation is that you please please please be careful while applying!! I made the mistake of getting too close to the corner or my eye and opps! but nothing a little flush out didn't help with. I also liked that I got an email from the company asking personally how I like their product. I would have written a review for that but thought I would let you all know my unbiased opinion. After receiving this product at a free/ discounted price, everything that I have written is 100% honest after trying the product.
If this review helped you decide if you wanted to try this product, please leave me a little comment below.
Thanks friends!! |
A Spiritual Primer for Busy People | Like most people I tend to forget to set time aside to do things like pray and meditate. Sure, I'll say a quick hello to God during the day but it's tough to make time for "real" prayer. That's why I like this book so much. I'm able to take some extra time in the morning and do one of the exercises. It makes a big difference to begin the morning with that kind of awareness. Plus, I often find myself continuing the exercises throughout the day. For example, I'll do the Jesus Prayer when I'm feeling extra stressed out at work. Some of the other prayers, such as his Stations of the Cross, are great for when I have some extra time to spend in prayer. Also, Jansen's writing style is easily accessible and entertaining. His dry sense of humor and willingness to laugh at himself make it seem like two friends having a conversation. I would definitely recommend this book for anyone looking to start praying or for people who do so on a regular basis. It offers something for everyone. |

Eats batteries . . . which is a shame. | As has been posted by others - this thing eats (or reports to eat) batteries. I just starting setting up my smart home earlier this year. I've purchased motion sensors by 3 other manufacturers (so 4 in total). Since installing on May 1st 2017, it has gone through (allegedly) 2 sets of batteries. It is not reporting as 10%, when I replaced the first set in early July. 2 months for a sensor is insane - and these aren't rechargeable. I'm going to let these run until the sensor stops showing up - but even if that takes 4 months - I've yet to replace a battery in any other sensor (in fact, the others still show 100% battery after 4 months or longer - which I'm sure isn't accurate, but hoping to get close to 2 yrs as most claim you will).
When this works - it is a good sensor. I wanted a good multi-sensor, but I'm replacing it with something else, because the cost of batteries doesn't make any sense. |
Great book for middle school kids | My son has the entire series of Elsewhere books. Loves them! |
Decent Blue-ray Player | I bought this item as a result of the review it received from Consumer Reports. Picture quality is fine and the video streaming works well. I was, however, disappointed that the only programing available was Netfliz. Granted, this is usually the only service I use for streaming video, but there are times I would like to view You Tube or some other sources. Overal, I would rate this in the middle. If you want more internet options, I would look for a player that has more capability. Blue-ray and DVD are fine. |
fiskars splitting maul | I have had one of these for several years and recommend them to anyone who has wood to split. They are well made and durable. Everyone is amazed as to how well they work. Buy one, you'll be glad you did. |
Happy with this purchase | Stands up to little tikes quality. Happy with this purchase. Bought it for my grandkids for my house when they visit. Same quality as years ago. |
DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY! | It arrived bent :( DOES NOT charge nearly as good as my original Samsung...A TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY!!! |
Welcome to the World of Computers 2nd Edition | I would like to say nice book, alot of highlighting in the beginning of the book but all in all the book is in good shape, have to remember it is a used book, thank you |

Superior quality wiper blade set with an innovative design | This set of SilBlade FLX wiper blades have a unique design feature I have not seen before. The key feature that makes these wiper blades work better than any other brand I have used is the design of the superstructure that holds the wiper blade against the glass. Common wiper blades have a metal superstructure with two or more sub arches that press the rubber to the windshield. In my experience, common wiper blades usually fail at one or more of the sub arches because they either fail to provide enough pressure or provide too much pressure making the rubber at those locations crack and fail.
I have seen some improved wiper blades that replace the whole superstructure with multiple segments. The point of this design is that each segment provides better surface pressure. The SilBlade FLX takes the idea of providing a better superstructure one step further. The whole superstructure is one continuous flexible band of steel encased in rubber with the blade attached to the underside of the superstructure in one continuous length. The purpose is to provide even pressure and coverage across the whole blade and not at intervals. This design seems to work especially well for us. I look forward to seeing how well these blades stand up to the Texas summer heat. If they can maintain their pressure, hopefully the blades will last longer.
Supplying both blades as a set is also a very smart idea. It is important to replace both blades at the same time as you would do with tires. So by supplying a set of two wiper blades makes it easy to replace them both when one blade wears out because the other blade will probably fail soon there after. More than once, I have gone to the store to buy two wiper blades only to have one of the sizes be out of stock. It is very annoying to have to drive around to find "the other one" or be unsafe and wait until I can get both at the same time. Buying a matching set on Amazon is definitely the way to buy these wiper blades. |
So glad I finally found it | I've searched everywhere for the cd! So glad I finally found it! |
Not as good as I expected | HUGE fan of Elizabeth Hoyt. I've read all of her Maiden Lane series books several times each. This book wasn't up to her usual standards in heart stopping action or sizzling romance. I think some of her incredible talent is being leached away in her writing of contemporary novels. Don't be a traitor Elizabeth! Spend your enormous talent on our historical fiction PLEASE :) I am still one of your biggest fans and I am looking forward to Trevellion and Phoebe's book. |
Black woman's ordeal with voice to skull DARPA weapon. | Gloria Naylor, who is best know for being the author of "The Women of Brewster's Place," presents a sordid tin foil hat tale of a black woman becoming paranoid of being stalked by the government after her neighbor's cat goes missing. There is speculation that the author decided to write a pseudo biographical tale about her developing schizophrenia or actually being the victim of MK Ultra. The book is divided into two sections. The second half of the book provides information (at the time of the writing) regarding electrical devices that transmit voices/sounds into the skulls of people. |
Not worth the full price | Bought it on sale at CVS after Christmas for $15.... Could never get it to sync with the app on my iOS phone... The sleep function make absolutely no sense and there's no instructions about how to decipher the info.... But.... As a cheap pedometer it is good at keeping track of my daily activity.... I just have to manually write down my steps each day so I can keep track. Also, the packaging said it would hold a charge or upto 7 days but from the beginning I was lucky to go 3 days before it died and now 7 months later I'm having to charge it nightly! It's been a good starter device but not worth paying full price! Oh and the clock is always slow. |
Doesn't stick very well | I have ceramic tile walk in shower. The tile does have some variation in the finish so the suction cups don't work very well. I found a spot that is more consistent but if you have a tile that is not a very consistent finish you should look elsewhere. |
Recipes way too time consuming and hard to find ingredients needed | Beautiful book at a glance. I have 2 small children, I do not have 2 hours to prepare a gourmet dinner every night, or even an hr for the simpler recipes. There are few practical recipes. I've been vegan for long enough that I'm used to unusual ingredients, but some of this stuff is ridiculous. Cacao Paste? Really? Good luck finding that, and the recipe that calls for it is no good without it. I'm returning this book. |
They work great for feeding | I have been using these bras since the start of my 3rd trimester of pregnancy. I now have a 5 month old and am still using these bras. They work great for feeding. I love the padding is already in the bra and is removable. I bought 3 of these bras and only one of them has had a broken clasp. I can still use the bra though because it has 3 clasps to hold it together. Other than that, these bras are wonderful. |
Great case, but cheap quality keyboard :0( | UPDATE: I bought this for my son and he was enjoying it very much. It is a great quality cover but the keyboard is cheap quality. My son has had this for just over a month, and it has already lost one of the arrow keys on the keyboard. He is very careful with it so it is not due to neglect. Unfortunately we will be having to purchase a different case now. :0( |
Great sounding little speaker system | I travel, a lot, and take this with me on every trip. It's light, easy to pack, easy to use, has rechargeable batteries that last way longer than advertised, and sounds great. Ok, it's not a Bose, but it doesn't cost $500 either. Any questions? |
Pew, Pew, 'Splosion! Times Up! | You dig it the most! Starting with a 4 review as just received and totally digging on it - yet can't speak yet to accuracy or longevity (the Rebel Alliance may blow it up at anytime, right?). It came with a twist tie strung thru the bottom to attach it to it's packaging, which instead of removing I used to affix to my wire rack of kitchen supplies. Crank beyond 15 minutos then dial back to anytime desired less than. Green laser lights up, wait for it.. Pew, Pew, 'Splosion! Times up! |
Great way to add lysine to food | Mixes well with canned food, and most of my cats either like the flavor or don't notice it. Effective at treating kitty colds. |
Interesting and touching | Knowing Luann personally and helping her get organized on her way to publishing, it's great to see her story told. Most of it I had read in draft version, seeing it done brings joy to my heart. She's been through so much, and while she touches on the bad, she makes sure you know we are all responsible for our own happiness and that building traditions with loved ones is very important to our sharing life with family and friends.
The way she copes with the loss of her father, her accident, the IRS, the suicide death of a friend, tea with Kay, life lessons, all endearing and hopeful, her family and friends and even the mistakes she owns up to and her motives in life, what a wonderful read. Luann, may you continue to be blessed, happy and loved. |

I saw this movie and it didn't make me laugh! | I did see this movie. I didn't hear it sucked before I went. To bad I didn't hear about it before I went. I went and saw it at a theater when it was originally released. I was a fan of both Dustin Hoffman and Warren Beatty at that time, and I am even today. I kept watching this movie and thinking this movie has to get better. These stars are great, there's no way they would perform in a movie without a real story. But they continued to try and wing it and sing along throughout this movie. Have you ever heard these guys sing? Let's just say don't rush out and buy any CDs if they ever made one. Now I have seen comedies were someone can't sing and it is obvious that is part of the comedy. This however just wasn't funny when they sang. So give me any of Mel Brooks, or any other comedy movie, but don't give me Ishtar. Bottom line. If you like it fine, I didn't get their jokes. Perhaps you get it and I don't, perhaps thousands of others like me didn't get it. But when thousands of people did see it and they say it wasn't any good, don't try to say only a few really saw it and know if it is any good. Many people saw it based on the stars Beatty and Hoffman, and many people said it was one of their least favorites. If more felt it didn't flop it would have made the money they poured into it back. As it stands it was a total dud. I don't make the statistics up, the bean counters can give you the facts on this one. So you handful of fans are lucky to have this on DVD. I should be so lucky to have a classic like "African Queen" on DVD instead of you having this one. On Blu-ray? You have to be kidding me. Anyone that would invest for Ishtar on Blu-ray has to much money to waste and should put it into getting <a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Split-Second-VHS/dp/6302497191/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Split Second [VHS</a>] on DVD or Blu-ray.

So Disappointed - Doors don't attach. | I loved the way this looks, and would still love it, if only the doors would attach! We followed every step, and got to the second to last one which is attaching the doors. We have tried it every single way possible. I really don't want to send back this product after all of the work that went into it, so we are considering just using it without the doors :( |

An excellent grain-free product | I used to own a health food store where we sold a range of high quality pet foods. There are many excellent foods on the market, but that category does not include any of the best known brands. (There is a non-profit guide with excellent analysis of each food, called something like Dog Food Guide/Cat Food Guide. Unless they have changed they are .org rather than .com)
NATURAL CHOICE Grain-Free food and biscuits for DOGS are excellent. (Grain is no part of a dog's natural diet. Many well-advertised brands use grain as an inexpensive filler. Dogs eat half as much grain-free food.) |
Inflates tires, durable, but the tire-guage is no good | It's plastic, but durable. It inflates tires. My only complaint is the built-in tire gauge is far from accurate. |
Dino-rriffic! These dinosaurs are a perfect addition to your kiddos toy collection! | These are by far the best dinosaurs I have purchased. I also purchased the Terra Dino set. That was pretty cool too but the dinos in that set are tiny (I bought those for cupcake/ dessert toppers). I was also looking for some larger dinosaurs and this Jumbo Dinosaur set fit the bill. The dinosaurs are well made and come in great colors. I am using them as table decorations for my sons 1st birthday party. Then when he gets a bit older, I will add them to his toy bin. Some places are selling these toys for a higher price than Amazon so I definitely feel that I got a great deal by purchasing them from here! |

comfortable for my Galaxy SII | My phone fits perfectly, I actually wear it 'upside down' from the photo so that I can look down and easily use the screen to skip songs as I run. Not once would I ever worry about my phone coming out as it is snug (but not tight). Having headphones plugged in will 100% prevent that from ever happening as the headphone jacks in behind the locking flap. The touchscreen works great through the plastic cover. Strap fit my arm easily (moderate build guy). A++ product very durable build.
Only negative is it builds up a slight amount of moisture as I run, nothing worth worrying about imho. |
Amazing, haunting, and will stay with me for awhile! | "Those caramel eyes of hers stare back at me searching, pouring over my soul like a fortune teller looking through a crystal ball into the depths of my dark and twisted soul."
Gripping, haunting, at times creepy as all get out, this one had me happily lost in it's pages until I finished the last word!! My heart broke, my mind churned, and my pulse raced. The balance between paranormal and real life was just so that it made it like this could actually happen, which upped the creepy factor. Reading alone in the dark may not be the smartest, but I absolutely loved every second! Both characters are beautifully broken, deserving of happiness, and their journey really caught my heart in their web...what happens next is a story I won't soon forget.

A Chick Tract for the big screen | Complete with Basil Exposition as the anti-christ. What a laff-riot.
This film plays like a parody of itself. Could be an embarrasment to us Christians if we take it seriously, but I for one do not. None of the actors seem to even remotely take their roles seriously, with the notable exception of Michael Ironside. Mr. Ironside is the only one who does a decent acting job in the entire film. He delivers his usual better-than-average "bad guy" portrayal.
I like to think of The Omega Code as a Jack Chick Tract on film. If you are a Christian you *know* what these are. (The little "Christian" comic strips with the hellfire/devil-n-demon/apocalyptic message intended to "scare" you into belief.) All it lacks is for Ironside's character to laugh: HAW HAW! |
cheaply made thin plastic | Go to the hardware store and buy some real hose instead of this. This is more like wiring loom than hose. Yes it holds water, but its not durable. For something as critical as a bilge pump, when you need it to work, its got to work. If this sits and rots or develops cracks, you'll be kicking yourself when its time to use it. Buy real reinforced hose instead. |

One of the Finest Series on the Subject | I have an earlier version that was available several years ago and am delighted to see this series return. This is one of the finest versions available concerning Israeli Combat Shooting. I have all of Garret Machine's DVDs and AGIs Israeli Instinctive Combat Shooting. If you are looking to complete your training collection you need this set. It is well done and very easy to watch. However it is very basic in its presentation. There are no one hand manipulations, jam drills,closing distance, kneeling or barricade shooting. For these you will have to get Machine's DVDs. But when you get this one you won't be disappointed. If you are serious about learning the Israeli Draw this series is a must. Buy them as a complete set. |
Granddaughhter likes it | This was purchased for my granddaughter and she is happy with it That's good enough for me. |
Giving You Punk Rock Realness | I got these for my nephew to go with a converse outfit that his chuck-loving mama bought him. They were super cute on him. I wanted a pair with a real rubber bottom, even though I knew he wouldn't be able to walk in them. The tiny chuck logo on these high tops was everything! |
Excellent protection for 12 year old's phone | Excellent protection for 12 year old's phone. They are tough on every phone! So far so good, and that phone falls out of his pocket a lot. |
Insightful and enlightening read!! | I thoroughly enjoyed this powerfully insightful book. The book is beautifully written and I believe "A Soulful Awakening" has a message for each and everyone of us that has the good fortune to read it. I plan to keep it on my beside table to refer to again and again. I have highlighted passages in this book to spotlight which sections I know I will want to reread and memorize,
Thank you Stephanie for capturing and sharing what you have learned on your incredible journey with your guides and teachers and loving us all enough to share it!!

That said, their service department is very attentive and will repair without issue within the warranty period. I might just have gotten a lemon. |
Serious WiFi firepower, if you are serious about learning to use it | I do corporate training, and sometimes there are more than 200 WiFi radios in the room that need to connect to my equipment. After buying every kind of consumer-grade WiFi access point around, and being very disappointed at their stability under load, I took my IT guy's advice and got serious with this product.
I will never, ever, waste time with the alternatives again. Once you take the time to set it up, you simply cannot make this thing quit even under 200+ user loads. I have tried, and failed. It's the real deal. |

Thought it had the potential to be a lot of fun. Disappointed greatly | Slow read. Thought it had the potential to be a lot of fun. Disappointed greatly. Stopped reading it about a 1/3 of the way through. The timeframe it is set in, and the area of China should have been extraordinary easy to manufacture a complete story which was tough to put down.

works fine with a Mac | works fine with a Mac, however there does not appear to have a significant increase in speed over wireless on browsing. |
Perfect for Cold Weather | Bought this as a gift for my father. He loved it and had a great impression. I was also pleasantly surprised that it was very soft and warm. He lives in the midwest so it's perfect for the winter to layer. It also fit exactly as expected. |
Wonderful storytelling | wish there were more chapters...I guess we have to use our imagination to finish the story as we see fit. Totally entering.. |
fantastic thought provoking read | this is one of my all time favorite sci fi books. i am just now buying it for a friend. i first read it in high school, and i am now 68. so you know it's a great book if someone remembers it for that long. i also really liked "city at the edge of the world". and almost all PKDick.
if you are looking to read a thought provoking, well written, sci fi book, this is it. i only wonder why there has never been a movie from this book. i think that would be great. |
Taking off one star because | someone should have sanded down all the edges before sending this out. There were little splinters on each edge that we had to eventually sand out ourselves. But it's a very cute castle. My daughter LOVES it and she learns how to use her imagination with it. It will last for years and years. Truly an heirloom that my daughter will cherish for a long time - and maybe her kids, too! |
Tongue Twisters for kids | I really enjoyed this book but you so make it for little kids to understand. I think that the book would be a little batter if the kids younger than12 could understand so make the book a little better. I hope that you can make more books for little kids. I hope people would read your book. |
Amazing boots I have mine for 2 years now | Amazing boots I have mine for 2 years now. I wear these. It's everyday for work and non working; the bottom is really good not slip resistant, but they are oil resistant and if you work in a heavy water based area it will ruin the leather. The bottom of the sole is amazinly strong they hold up nicely I think they are glued instead of nails into the boot but I'm not too sure about how they attach it too the boot of it is glue then the glue is a high heavy duty glue that will stay strong until the end of when you decided you want a new pair. |

Theres a certain check-list that needs to be achieved when it comes to writing a successful childrens book, and this can be narrowed down to childrens appeal, parents appeal and learning appeal.
Essentially, the childrens appeal focuses on a relatable yet fantastical storyline. The surest way to ensure a child is interested in a story is to ensure they can see themselves participating in the story, while at the same time stretching their imagination through elements beyond their own world. Thats just what Henry and the Hidden Treasure does. Henrys quest to hide his treasure, which is actually his pocket money from his parents, is a result of the rivalry he has with his sister, who he believes to be a ninja. Sibling rivalry is an experience most children will be very familiar with if they have a brother or sister. But his means of hiding his treasure involves that which is otherworldly it involves lasers, dragons, superheroes, and monsters. This combination guarantees most children engaging positively with this book.
The parents appeal of a childrens book is often underrated, for at the end of the day the children are the primary focus. However, as much as it is optimum for the children to be happy, a happy parent can elevate the whole storytelling experience. This story will please the parents for two reasons. One, it preaches the age-old lesson of parents know best. But two, more importantly, is that the story is very endearing and well thought-out, making for a relatively enjoyable experience for any reader, not only children.
Now, the learning appeal of a childrens book can be a tricky element to master. Simply stating listen to your parents, don't be mean to your sister, don't be greedy, learn to share and look after your possessions will get the message across. However, incorporating those lessons into a fun and engaging plot is a much more likely path to success and its exactly what this book does. By showing us Henrys fierce distrust of his sister, and the imaginative lengths hes willing to go to in order to keep his possessions safe, children learn much more than simply parables of life lessons.
The writing is simply written, meaning a child learning to read would be able to digest the literature. It is also suitable for parents to read to their children, as it is not so simple that it is not also an exciting story. All in all, children will either see themselves in this story, or they will wish themselves into it. For, at the end of the day, what imaginative young child doesnt wish they had access to robots, giants, and an extensive array of booby traps to protect what they hold dear from those who they believe want to take it? Even if thats not what Henrys sister wanted from him at all |
TABLE TOP......BUT NO LEGS!! | Only received the table top but I did not receive the legs for the table??? |
The more I read, the more I loved - FANTASTIC | This book. How do I even begin to describe it. In the beginning I was just blown away about how freaking hot it was. Then I started feel antsy, because I know JA Huss had something up her sleeve. Gradually she led me down a path where I began questioning everyone and every thing, and the more I questioned, the more I grew to love her characters. I knew this wasn't just a hot read and I was right.
"Love. Lust. Sex.
This trinity might be perfection... but not everything should come in 3's."
We first meet Ark and JD, they are self-made millionaires, best friends and polar opposites. Ark is closed off, cynical and suspicious while JD is fun loving, charismatic and charming. Ark is the brain behind the business, not just any business but a lucrative porn business.
In the last four years Ark and JD have established a business and are working towards a plan that will make them even wealthier and afford them freedom from the current porn king. One morning while working JD and Ark stumble across a lost, broken girl. Things couldn't work out any better since they are in need of a girl to complete their commitment for the week. They attempt to hire, Blue but things don't go according to plan.
Three, Two, One is unlike anything I have ever read. First this isn't a love triangle it is a story about three soulmates. While at first glance your skepticism may say it is impossible for three people to be soulmates, but after reading this I believe it is completely possible. I was totally and completely immersed in this story, in their love and vulnerability.
I think when we read these amazing love stories, we forget that love isn't easy. To me love isn't a feeling, it is a commitment. Blue, JD, and Ark's love wasn't easy, but they were committed to trying because of the level for which they cared for each other.
If you have read Huss's work before you know this can't just be a love story, even a unique threesome. She writes stories that have twists and turns in them that you don't even see coming. You start a story or series thinking: ah, how sweet or lord, this is smoking hot; then bam your world completely flips. Even knowing this about Julie, I was still losing my mind as I read this story.
Three, Two, One is a beautiful, unexpected love story with lots of suspense and intrigue. This story ripped my heart open and completely broke me. I wish I could tell you why, but I hate spoilers so I will just say these characters were perfectly developed and I was 100% invested. I felt what they felt, they were real to me and my heart broke for their pain, guilt, and suffering. I wholeheartedly recommend this book. Is it hot, of course, but it is also full of gut wrenching love, and has just enough twist and turns to leave you guessing.

I enjoyed it. Followed the book pretty much | I enjoyed it. Followed the book pretty much. Dakota Johnson was the better actor in this movie. Thought she did an outstanding job! |
Great price. These toners worked almost perfect | Great price. These toners worked almost perfect, I didn't give 5 stars because my first toner printed some shadows on the left and right side of the pages and never came clean. The second toner starter doing the same, but after few pages, the print was perfect. I don't know if the first one was damaged or faulty, but I spec my products to be flawless. |
Stop fleas within two days!! | Flea collar really works for me!
I checked their necks every dfor a week and there was no adverse reaction. |
Excellent Resource for beginners and advanced guitar students | I purchased the MP3 formatted video lessons. So far I am through the first one (Pentatonic) and partially through the 2nd (CAGED) videos. Excellent instruction. Very easy to understand and use while practicing on my guitar. I would recommend to any beginner or even advanced user. |
My favorite of the series | Matt is my kind of guy. Wait...no he really isn't. He's actually obnoxious and mostly a jerk, but I still love him. His best friend Alex is such a perfect guy even with all his flaws. Their crazy relationship was at times both hilarious and exasperating. Loved this book enough to read it on KU and then buy it for my collection. |
Well made, won't look pretty for more than six months if you are rough on them | Just bought a second pair, first lasted from 2014 until now!
Water really tears these up... they are so comfortable and they lasted forever but they stopped looking great pretty early on.
I got mine wet all the time so I definitely abused them. |
Not the Levi's of old....sigh | I am so disappointed in the declining quality of Levi jeans. I have worn the 529 Curvy's for several years, and noticed the quality of the material varies depending on which country they were made in. This last pair was made in China, and the fabric was noticeably thinner than my last ones which were made in Mexico. Also the stitching just looked weird. I can't put my finger on it, but something was just off. And the fit was off. Seems they took the curve out of the curvy jeans. They would probably fit fine if you are built like a man. On the upside, Amazon was great about accepting the return and promptly refunding my money. |
I love it because it is light weight and you forget ... | I love it because it is light weight and you forget it is on your ear. It is very clear with incoming calls and everyone I'v talked to has said it is very clear. Very long battery life. |
E-Z Ink Remanufactured Ink Cartridge Replacement for HP 56 C6656AN & 57... | My printer used the cartridge for a short time then I began to get error messages. After trying several options to correct the error I gave up and bought new cartridges for the higher price and the errors disappeared. |
excellent gift for doula clients | As a labor doula for three years I wanted to extend a small but special gift to my clients and children after the birth. This book comes as a board book or hardback and has been the perfect gift to say, "Welcome!" to each new life. |
Fits my Dell Inspiron 15 Touch. | Just what I was looking for. A simple padded neoprene sleeve for my 2014 Dell Inspiron 15 Laptop. Two-way zipper that unzips about halfway down the sides, no pockets, no shoulder strap just double handles and bubbled type padding on the inside. Works great! |
Not for teething toddlers | My one year old is very mouthy and nibbles on the animals while playing with this puzzle set. This causea the paper applique images to rub right off the wood. Also, the material used for the lion's mane and giraffe's body is shedding. Yes the wooden animals are not meant to be snacked on but this is the kind of thing that should be expected from the demographic for whom these puzzle pieces are designed. I expected better quality from this brand. You may want to reconsider getting this if you have a nibbler. |
HATE IT! DON'T BUY IT! | i bought this controller hoping it would work for the pc because i needed it for the pc and yet the one i got in the mail wasn't for the pc =/ i'm not exactly happy about that sooo the advertisement is a bust and completely useless -___-' |
A Top-Notch reference! | Well, let me explain my 3. The book is great and I love LaMothe's writing style. I'm also more a mathmatician than I am a programmer so I really enjoyed almost all of it (most 3D Books tell you how to program something without you having a clue what it's doing, very frustrating). All in all it's a really good book.
Though it lacks compared to TOTWGPG in that, it skips out completely on implementation in hardware, which was frustrating since finding a good source of cohearsing DirectX to do what you want is hard to come by, especially in this "Managed" day-and-age.
Anyway, in short, great for understanding the math for some beginner to advanced techniques, but definetely not the only one to have on your shelf if you actually plan to program anything. |
Very hard and uncomfortable | This cushion is so hard and uncomfortable that I can't use it. It is at a slant toward the front and you slide forward. It's like sitting on a patio block.
I hate to give bad reviews but this one for me was necessary. |
Normally no problem, but this batch was defective | I have ordered these previously several times with no problem until the last batch. The yellow cartridge was ok, but the magenta and cyan had no ink in them-apparently they were not filled at the factory. I bought them in December, and didn't discover the problem until I cycled them out of reserve in May. |
Bad Design Always break | This is the third time I have had to replace this lock. The part shown below is the part that breaks. When it breaks it locks me out of the Motorhome. The lock lasts about 2 years before it breaks. They claim to have redesigned the lock three times but are still using the same weak pot metal part shown below that breaks. This would be an excellent lock if they would just replace the weak pot metal part shown below with a steal one. Guess they are making a lot of money selling replacements. Can not buy the part without buying a whole new lock. This is the part that fits my Motorhome and is only made by Tri Mark. Wish some company would make a good one that uses steal for that part so it will not break. Have read hundreds of reports of others having the same problem.
If you open and close the door enough that part will break leaving you locked out. |
Perfect fit... exactly what the old Wrangler needed ! | Exact fit.... worked great on my 98 Wrangler. I could not believe it but seems to run faster now. |

Worst Western "Classic" Ever | American Heritage magazine called it one of the most overrated Westerns of all time and I couldn't agree more. When I read a plot summary of this movie, I could not wait to get it home and watch. I could not believe how disappointed I was. The plot had so many details and layers that could have been explored, but no. It fails on almost every level. The only saving grace is that Gary Cooper and Grace Kelly look good in it. Also, I appreciated the unself conscious approach to references to an interracial romance that ended before the beginning of the movie, something quite remarkable for a movie from the early fifties. Everything else is just off the mark. I still can't believe that Tiomkin's song became so popular. There are so many holes in this most boring of scripts. What really shocked me was the subpar cinematography and production values, especially for a film that they obviously had spent a lot of money on. The story takes the course of a single day, but there were so many continuity problems in terms of lighting(i.e. 5pm looked like noon and noon looked like dusk). Grace Kelly spends the entire film wandering around and pouting. Cooper and Lloyd Bridges were absolutely disappointing. I gave it two stars only because it was a very influential film and became its own archetypes for many films to come. This movie represents all the ills that come from a film industry that was oppressed by production codes and McCarthyism. Don't waste your time. Go with an Eastwood, Ford, or a Leone picture. |
Great quality and price | I really enjoyed his safe. Great for hiding guns, and it is pretty durable. I added a magnet in to to hold anything inside |
Great lightweight, cheap belt!! | I bought this belt to use for camping, hiking, casual, hitting the shooting range with, etc. This thing is exactly as described and is low cost for thin quality so you won't be using it as a climbing harness safety but it works for everyday use. I do think it can take a beating and will be great for hiking in the hot summer. Also at 56 inches long, you will need to simply cut the end without the metal down to where you want it with a sharp pair of scissors and then clamp the buckle back down.
Buy it, you won't be disappointed! |
Fits and works perfectly. | UPDATE:
1 star
I've used it for 3 weeks and today I turned on the shower and the interior rubber hose split near the handle. I'm disappointed.
ORIGINAL REVIEW:
5 stars
Works perfectly.
-Fit exhisting handle/bracket perfectly.
-I didn't use Teflon tape and haven't had any leaking. Nor did I have to use anything more than hand tighten both ends. (versus a with different shower I had that I used both tape and a wrench and still had leaking)
-Finish is nice.
-Water pressure is the same as with the vinyl hose I replaced.
-Reaches both the bottom and end of the tub.
-Flexes and pivots smoothly when pressurized. (unlike the stuff vinyl hose I replaced.)
- A great value! |
Good book of rules but don't know if they are ... | Seemed a little dated. Good book of rules but don't know if they are accurate for todays billiards. |
