Given the interaction history of a user with books as follows:
Title: Down the Rabbit Hole: Curious Adventures and Cautionary Tales of a Former Playboy Bunny; Author: Visit Amazon's Holly Madison Page; Review: I did not come away from the book as a fan of Holly Madison. She took no accountability for her role in a lot of the decisions she made in her life, unless she was talking about the good ones. She came off as mean, hypocritical, and whiny. The inside scoop of the playboy mansion and what goes on behind the scenes of a reality TV show was interesting though and it was written in a way that was easy to follow. An easy interesting read, but frustrating read at the same time.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Mrs. Sinclair's Suitcase; Author: Visit Amazon's Louise Walters Page; Review: Such a lovely story and so well written. This book kept me interested from the very beginning until the very end. I would most definitely recommend it.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Given the interaction history of a user with hotels as follows:
Title: White Hart Hotel; City: Hayle Cornwall England; Review: The hotel was in a lovely quiet location at the end of Hayle High Street but with easy access to the local facilities, there was plenty of parking. The staff were incredibly friendly and although I didn't check in until late in the evening there wasn't a problem. The room I stayed in formed part of a court yard at the back of the hotel which was lovely. The room was incredibly clean with tea and coffee facilities and a small fridge. The bathroom looked like it had been newly decorated and was very stylish. I can't comment on the restaurant as I had eaten before arriving and had to leave before breakfast. I would totally recommend this hotel and would definitely stay there again. I also left a phone charger in my room but this was returned to me without me having to phone the hotel. Great place - Thank you.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hillmotts Fitness Retreat; City: Long Hanborough Cotswolds England; Review: I have just finished a three day boot camp at the Cotswolds retreat. I really wouldn't recommend this if you have a low level of fitness as the different abilities aren't split and everyone is expected to do the same workouts. It is quite extreme and although I don't feel that I am unfit - I did struggle terribly. The trainers were good although there really wasn't much interaction with them once the activities were finished as they just disappeared into their private areas. The accommodation itself was clean but very basic. The bathroom was nice although the shower only seemed to have two temperature settings - boiling or scalding! The food was edible but mainly 'slop' rather than the enticing sample menus shown on the website. The hot tub was broken and the sauna was only warm! I did query this with the company on my return and they have said that they will address my concerns. However my comments with regard to the food wasn't really addressed - just said that this was just a sample menu! I wouldn't return to this retreat.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Grand Hotel del Gianicolo; City: Rome Lazio; Review: The hotel is just on the outskirts of the city, it takes about 15 minutes to walk to the main attractions although it is at the top of a hill so walking down is easier than walking back up. The hotel is very clean and the staff were so friendly. The rooms although quite basic were very comfortable and the bathrooms were lovely. The breakfast was average but the views from the breakfast room was amazing. The swimming pool was beautiful - very clean, plenty of sun beds, great pool bar - just what I needed after a day of sightseeing. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Rome - the pool is such a bonus!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Caeiago Riding Centre; City: Carmarthen Carmarthenshire Wales; Review: This was my first visit to this riding centre but it definitely wont be my last. Lesley, Roddy and Charlie were the perfect hosts. The food was fantastic and it was so lovely to have tea fresh cakes every afternoon. Lesley had a knack of understanding exactly which horse suited each person. The horses were great and very responsive which always makes it more enjoyable. We were blessed with lovely weather and the scenery was beautiful. I have ridden at a number of different establishments over the years whilst on holiday but this one tops the list.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Oxford Spires Hotel; City: Oxford Oxfordshire England; Review: Although the public areas of this hotel were very nice we found the room to be very small, with old fashioned furniture and an outdated bathroom. The room was incredibly hot and there was no air-conditioning, the windows only opened a few inches. They did supply a fan but this was very noisy. We also had to ask to move rooms as we had very loud neighbours! Only a minor point but there wasn't a fridge/mini bar which I would expect in a 4 star hotel. There was also a charge of £7.00 per night for the car park. On the plus side, the staff were very helpful and the pool was of a nice temperature. I did however find this hotel to be very overpriced and wouldn't stay here again.; Rating: 2.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: You Don't Sweat Much for a Fat Girl: Observations on Life from the Shallow End of the Pool; Author: Visit Amazon's Celia Rivenbark Page; Review: I have read everything i can get my hands on of Ms. Rivenbark`s so far and this one is the most "straight up" so to speak. She spares nothing in her descriptions of what she thinks of other mothers at meetings, having an only child and just all together being southern. Personally i think if women would listen to the way she thinks then kids especially little girls would have more manners but also more of a mind of their own. Not being such a clone of the other kids, or a wanna-be of what they see on tv nowadays! I loved it!; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: The Book of Mormon: A Reader's Edition; Author: Visit Amazon's Grant Hardy Page; Review: This book will never replace the actual Book of Mormon, especially for Latter-day Saints. However, it is easier to read and there are explanations in the introduction that add insight into the LDS Church and Mormons in general. If you have an open mind, you can learn a lot and appreciate the Book of Mormon.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The God Who Weeps: How Mormonism Makes Sense of Life; Author: Visit Amazon's Terryl Givens Page; Review: this book is well written by an expert on religions, who also happens to be a member of the LDS Church. Because of his facility with writing, he can convey the feelings of joy and contentment found in a religion in which the God is a merciful, loving God. Saying the book is "well written" is like saying a steak grilled exactly to one's order and served piping hot directly from the grill is standard fair. Not every author achieves "well written"; and a perfectly grilled steak is reason to repeat visits to the establishment which served it. Fortunately, once one has purchased this book, one does not have to pay again for the privilege of re-reading it.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: The American Gangster; Brand: Ben Burtt; Review: I absolutely loved this documentary! There is so much information in this film that you can watch it time and time again and pick up more tidbits. There are many photos of Bugsy,Capone,Luciano as well as many others. There is plenty of live footage of court-room drama with Virginia Hill and quotes from the most famous mobsters. This is true American history dating back to the arrival of many European immigrants to Ellis Island,NY.Even the back-round music is great. Dennis Farina's narration is captivating and he is one with first-hand knowledge being an ex Chicago cop for 18 years in the 60's and 70's! I was still processing this documentary for days after viewing it. This would be an invaluable addition to any crime history enthusiast!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: A Shock to the System; Brand: Michael Caine; Review: A Shock To The System is one of my most fav black comedies!!! Michael Caine is top-notch in his performance of an executive who gets passed over for the position which is due him and then he just snaps!!Swoosie Kurtz who plays his nagging fish-wife just adds to this poor man's state. This film is done with such class,such panache! A must see for Michael Caine fans! I own a copy myself and think it is one of his best films. Entertaining and thought provoking to the end as Michael Caine narrates his views and maniacal plans for revenge!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Shame Region 2; Brand: Michael Fassbender; Review: This is what I waited for all these months!????? 1st of all I would like to say I'm a huge Michael Fassbender fan. HUGE!I was so exited to see this film and I just viewed it and now I am so glad I didn't purchase it as I intended to do without seeing it. He is an excellant actor no doubt and he did all that he could do with what was offered but I still found the film wanting. I get that he is a sex addict I knew all about what the film was supposed to be about and I have seen the trailers. I did empathize with Fassbender's character and I get that this is a real problem for many people and it isn't their fault. I think what annoyed me the most was Mulligan's character,Sissy. I found her character SO unsympathetic!!! And at the end SOOO predictable! I could see the insinuation that there was some kind of troubled past for them but for her to just barge in on his life with no warning,leave him no privacy and screw his married boss practically the moment she arrives I would want to throw her butt to the curb as well!!!I didn't blame Brandon 1 bit for being beyond pissed off!!And then her saying that she was trying to help him!! HOW??By being a prat??!!!She didn't commit ONE unselfish act while she was in his home NOT A ONE!!Yes! She is a parasite! Lord she was irritating! I hated her! And then what she did at the end was even more selfish{typical her} and predictable!!!That is one of the reasons I hated this film. I expected to be blown away but was sadly dissapoited. Oh and as far as her singing also very unimpressed. I'm afraid it would take quite a bit more talent to be booked at a N.Y. club.{She must have diddled the club owner as well as Brandon's boss.}So that as well is not believeable. I guess the last scene insinuates because of her neediness and that act that she commited that he is possibly changing?All I can say is I only wish she finished the job!!{And not the REAL actress mind you I usually love her roles and she is fab. She didn't write this script.}On a good note I loved Fassbender in Inglourious Basterds and even more in Eden Lake although that was hard to watch. But my fav was Fish Tank a must see for his fans.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: No Place on Earth; Brand: Chris Nicola; Review: Awe inspiring story.

Title: The 7 Laws of Magical Thinking: How Irrational Beliefs Keep Us Happy, Healthy, and Sane; Author: Visit Amazon's Matthew Hutson Page; Review: This book defined and answered to my satisfaction questions I couldn't put into words. I wondered why humans are predisposed to religion, superstition, and almost pathological pattern-seeking. I could see some purpose, and both positive and negative effects of various kinds of magical thinking, but I craved understanding. That's what I found in this book, in spades. I like the way it's written, almost conversational in tone. I like the studies cited, the research and how it's presented. I like how it's organized. I like the personal and often hilarious flavor to the narrative, including stories and experiences from the author's life to reveal where he's coming from. I really like the sense that the author is aware that your mileage may vary. I find a lot of books too rigid in their perspective, and this is especially frustrating in areas of psychology and philosophy, where it's obvious that people's perspectives vary wildly. I had so much fun reading this book; it was hard to put down. I found it enlightening beyond my wildest expectations. But though I only came for answers, I felt inspired and empowered. I felt I could not only understand magical thinking's use and impact on individuals, history, the species and culture, but also find awareness and acceptance of it in myself. At the end of the book I had more conscious choices over how I experience most everything I perceive. I also found myself thinking magically without effort. It felt much like when I read Mihaly Czikszentmihalyi's `Flow,' drawing the curtain to reveal an amazing experience I'm already having. And now can enjoy more. Rarely does a book to have such profound and lasting positive effect on me and my view of the world. I feel fortunate to have come across it as I did, relieved I was in the right place to really get the message, and delighted it was written in such an appealing style. I found `The Seven Laws of Magical Thinking' enlightening, entertaining, inspiring and empowering beyond words. Your mileage may vary, of course.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Otherland: City of Golden Shadow Bk. 1 (Otherland); Author: Visit Amazon's Tad Williams Page; Review: I've read it many times and will read it many times again. The world is so huge, inventive, believable, real -- to say nothing of characters I cherish like old friends. I'm particularly enthralled with the mythology of !Xabbu's tribe, but it's just one of countless detailed layers to the immersive experience of reading Otherland. The blend of the fantastic and possible, science fiction and fantasy, unreal and real, myth and modern times, profound and profane -- it has no equal in my heart. It's a bit long, one narrative story broken into four long books, but nothing shorter would have satisfied or enchanted me this much. Nor been worth annual re-reads alongside my other favorites. Volume One is everything I could hope for in a first book, enticing, appetizing, leaving me eager for more.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Trauma And Recovery: The Aftermath Of Violence- From Domestic Abuse To Political Terror; Author: Judith L. Herman; Review: I've read a lot of books on PTSD, different types of trauma and abuse, countless others on recovery, on treatment of both symptoms and underlying issues. I think had I read this earlier in my process it might not have hit home as it did. In any case, no other book I read on trauma and recovery affected me so profoundly, personally. Rather than offering myriad exercises or excessive structure that I find a bit triggery in my case, this book offered a lot of useful and compelling information organized in what I found an easy flow. It contains a history of the challenges facing the traumatized that made me more appreciative of the efforts and research of those who have come before and resources available now for understanding and recovery. It contains some basic practical information about complex PTSD I really needed at this point, as well as stages of recovery and guidelines for exploring the process with a therapist. I'm really surprised how much it conveys succinctly, and how it keeps focus for me on key core concepts I found necessary to my understanding and recovery.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Insanity; Author: Visit Amazon's Cameron Jace Page; Review: Inspiring! Such an easy, smooth, gliding read; no clunky awkward language or difficulty staying with the narrative. My eyes didn't impatiently skip ahead nor have to page back to figure out what was going on. I can feel the author's love for the story he's telling. I'm a discerning critic of Alice adaptations, since the books provided rare solace as I was literally raised by and with mad people in a cult, eventually legally changing my whole name to get away and choosing Alice as my middle name. Many modern Alice-inspired works leave me ambivalent, but this one! Delicious! I'd lost my writing mojo; this book climbed inside me and brought the wonder back. I can't wait to read more! I heartily recommend this book to anyone who's ever felt like Alice, felt the whole world has run mad, and any uninspired writers looking for a fresh phantasmagoria to care for and feed their muses.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Sea of Silver Light (Otherland, Book 4); Author: Visit Amazon's Tad Williams Page; Review: Every year or two I submerge myself again in this cherished series. I feel so absorbed by its richness and cry on cue at the end of book 3, glad I can move swiftly onto this book. It's everything I ever wanted in a series since childhood -- a fable, a mythology, a whole world so engrossing the world around me fades away. It's masterfully written and after so many readings it still surprises and enchants me with new layers. I'd recommend this to lovers of sci-fi and fantasy with the same enthusiasm. Want to leave the world behind for a bit? Try Otherland... but keep your schedule open for a while, it's harder to put down than you might think.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_books |

Title: 'Yabba Dabba Doo!' Kimye and Kids Rock Flintstone Halloween Costumes; Abstract: Fall family fun! Kim Kardashian, Kanye West and their kids went all out with elaborate Flintstone family costumes for Halloween. "Yabba Dabba Doo!" the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star, 39, captioned a series of photos of herself with her children North, 6, Saint, 4, Chicago, 21 months, and Psalm, 5 months. "This family pic was such a challenge because Chicago was so scared of Dino! LOL We tried to explain and show her that it was just daddy but she didn't get the concept yet! So shout out to the photographer for editing her in & making our family Flinstones dreams come true!" While the reality star channeled Betty Rubble in a black wig and blue dress, her son looked just like Fred Flintstone. His older sister wore a red wig and all-white as Wilma Flintstone, and his younger one was all smiles as Bamm-Bamm Rubble. Kardashian held Psalm in a tiny version of the outfit. North also dressed up for Halloween with her cousin Penelope and their friend. Kourtney Kardashian's daughter, 7, rocked a long white wig and an angel-devil costume, while North was a straight devil in red fur. As for Kim, the makeup mogul debuted an extravagant Elle Woods costume, channeling Reese Witherspoon in Legally Blonde. The Selfish author even recreated the character's iconic Harvard video essay from the 2001 movie, wearing pink and green sequined bathing suits and a pink dress, all with a blonde wig. The KKW Beauty creator has passed on her love of fashion and beauty to her daughter North. The little one loves makeup, but her dad, 42, doesn't approve. "Her dad won't let her wear it," Kim told E! News in September. "I think he had it, he changed all the rules. I'd let her wear, you know, she has a little red for Christmas, I'd let her wear a red lip, or I'd let her do one pop of something. I'd let her if she's wearing a black dress, a black lip. Kylie [Jenner] would give her all of these lip kits, so I kind of got in trouble for that. So, it's now no more makeup." The Los Angeles native opened up about their disagreement further the following month, telling the outlet: "North is trying to get in on the makeup, but she's being blocked heavily because her dad has stopped all makeup for her until she is a teenager. It's a big discussion, a big fight in the household right now but it is what's best. I think as a parent you just learn and figure it out as you go and we realized we didn't really want her to wear makeup at a young age but she sees her mom putting on lipstick and lip gloss."; Category: tv

Title: A controversial comedian and a former child star are eliminated on 'Masked Singer'; Abstract: After some dumb thing called the World Series tragically preempted The Masked Singer for two friggin' weeks in a friggin' row prompting Twitter outrage and ruining everyone's Halloween-week fun (for Masked Singer fans, apparently there is crying in baseball) this Wednesday, Fox finally got back to focusing on America's real favorite pastime: watching C- and D-list mystery celebrities dress up in Halloween-inspo costumes and belt out Lizzo and OneRepublic hits. And it was a double-header, to use some baseball terminology, because Fox made up for lost time by airing two episodes back-to-back. Of course, double the fun meant double the eliminations, so this week we had to bid farewell to two furry friends: the Penguin, aka comedian Sherri Shepherd, and the Black Widow, aka former child star Raven-Symone. Jenny McCarthy had guessed that pretty much every female contestant since Season1 was Shepherd, so she was destined to be correct eventually. As for the Black Widow, I got that one right. I knew that eight-legged diva was so Raven from the very beginning. Anyway, while I have missed The Masked Singer like a Rottweiler misses his bone, a flower misses the sun, or a black widow misses her web, on the plus side, the past two weeks have given me some time off to reflect, furiously pore over various Google search queries and Wikipedia pages, and change my uneducated guesses since the last time many of these kooky cosplay characters rocked the mic.

One person positioned it while another steadied it and a third person stood aside and told us if it was even or not. But that's not a big deal. My one real gripe is that it's very easy to accidentally release the grip, which did happen to us once.

Title: The Red Heart: A Novel; Author: Visit Amazon's James Alexander Thom Page; Review: This is the story of a young quaker girl taken by the Indians in a raid, and adopted first by a loving Indian woman who had lost her own children in raids by the whites. The author lets us see the struggles by the Indians to survive the attacks on their villages by the whites, while showing us the longing and anquish of the non warring quaker family for their kidnapped daughter. As the story unfolds, we see the young quaker girl, first called Waletawash(good face) then Maconakwa(Little Bear Woman) grow up and become a respected Indian woman of her adopted people. The reader sees the good and bad aspects of Indian life, including the devastation and personal losses caused by the introduction of alcohol by the whites. Although the Indians suffer many defeats, they survive with determination and hope, not only in the flesh, but in the spirit as well. In the end, with very little land left to live her Indian way of life, Maconakwa is called on to make a very important decision concerning her future and way of life for her family and the few remaining Indians, which to me was the right one. This is one of the best books I have read, and one I will read over a number of times. Thanks to the author for giving us such a wonderful story. A reader; Rating: 5.0/5.0

As a reader of other books written by the author, I read the book and found it to offer good advise and insights for kids, and is written in a way that doesn't talk down to them. In fact, the book conveys respect and concern for kids. Two of my granddaughters asked me to buy them a copy of the book, saying their friends like it a lot. I'll give them my copy and ask them to write a review after they finish reading the book. Let's encourage the kids to have their say. After all, it was written for them. I'm sure the author would appreciate reading their reactions, good or bad.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Hobbit; Author: Visit Amazon's J. R. R. Tolkien Page; Review: I read the Tolkien Trilogy every year ever since I was in 6th grade. The Return of the King is an outstanding book, and it concludes Tolkien's Trilogy, The Lord Of The Rings, and it does it well. It concludes the adventures of a ranger fromthe north who's true identity is the heir of kings, and a hobbit's courage and trials. But the only way to understand this wonderful book is you need to read the first two books, which I'm sure everyone would. Although this is a great novel, you need patients to read it. And Tolkien has an outstanding use of words, for he uses old English text. This book is great for teens, but I warn parents that the book might have your kids reading all day long, that has happened to me before. Also, it's a great book for adults, i think. It shows the meaning of freindship, love, and obsession in some sense. And it also shows the meaning of ucatastrophe, which is a sudden turn of events from bad to good, the oppisite from the word catastophe. Tolkien came up with the word ucatastrophe, to explaine the end of the book. He also uses it as in the story of Christ.

But the only way to understand this wonderful book is you need to read the first two books, which I'm sure everyone would. Although this is a great novel, you need patients to read it. And Tolkien has an outstanding use of words, for he uses old English text. This book is great for teens, but I warn parents that the book might have your kids reading all day long, that has happened to me before. Also, it's a great book for adults, i think. It shows the meaning of freindship, love, and obsession in some sense. And it also shows the meaning of ucatastrophe, which is a sudden turn of events from bad to good, the oppisite from the word catastophe. Tolkien came up with the word ucatastrophe, to explaine the end of the book. He also uses it as in the story of Christ. This is a great novel and I incourage anyone and everyone to read this great book.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: The 10 Most Important Things You Can Say to a Jehovah's Witness; Author: Visit Amazon's Ron Rhodes Page; Review: My comments are not about the book, but are directed at the critical reviews I see. Many of the reviews make assumptions about the JW. They are referred to as a cult. Anyone who has attended a Kingdom Hall would realize that the JW are not a cult, as most knowledgeable people define a cult. I have not known the JW to forbid members from reading any book or material(yes, some literature is discouraged that violates Biblical teaching. Also, JW publish, in addition to Watchtower, helpful booklets and a magazine called Awake. Among some of its offerings are helpful suggestions on coping with problems common to many people, such as unemployment, dealing with bullying at school, relationship and money problems, etc. Before an organization and its members are condemned, it can be helpful to look a little closer. Thank you.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Rush Limbaugh Is a Big Fat Idiot : And Other Observations; Author: Visit Amazon's Al Franken Page; Review: I'm an admirer of Rush Limbaugh, but read Mr Franken's book because I enjoyed his satire when he appeared on the old "Saturday Night Live" show. I expected Rush Limbaugh and the conservative viewpoint to be satirized. Instead, the book was primarily an attempt to assassinate the character of Mr. Limbaugh and a couple of other prominent conservatives. Disappointing. I guess I should have given closer consideration of the book's title.; Rating: 1.0/5.0

Title: honey and fig biscuits native australian; Review: I enjoyed these. I love the flavor of lemon myrtle. I liked that these were a little dry like a biscuit.

Title: Black or White; Brand: Kevin Costner; Review: THE MOVIE was very well done. If you have raised children you wonder how any survive. Some children don't.

Given the interaction history of a user with hotels as follows:
Title: Britannia Hotel Coventry; City: Coventry West Midlands England; Review: Unfortunately unable to choose the hotel this time round as part of a package coach trip deal with travel style setting off from Grimsby. ONLY thing going for the hotel is its location central and close to everything you could want from a trip to Coventry. Check in rushed but problem free. Corridors smelt of damp and debris from rotten skirting boards and frayed carpets. Rooms were very 1964, dirty room, curtain hanging down, weak shower wasn't worth the bother I would have been cleaner asking a passer by to spit on me haha Sink glugging all night. Eating area seats literally taped with duck tape! Surely they would be more aware of health and safety and potential claims against them it's 2015!! Food okay and by that I mean just edible. Rude food server but tall dark haired waiter (think he was French was lovely). Posters up around apologising for the state of the hotel (apparently been up a while and a good tactic to excuse the state of the place on sites like these!) Even staff seem embarrassed.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: The Bantry Bed Breakfast; City: Eyemouth Scottish Borders Scotland; Review: Beautifully positioned on the beach (as close as you can get anyway!) The Bantry appears to be a family run venue as has a really trusting personal feel about the place! We had the family room and was more than happy! The only thing that it could do with improving on is that it is a shared bathroom/toilet BnB so could really do with a strong power shower as was real weak...barring that 'twas really nice! Brekkie served in the cafe below and was faultless the choice of anything from the breakfast menu then your usual cereal juice tea coffee etc If I'm that way again I'll be booking at the Bantry!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Grand Hotel Scarborough; City: Scarborough Scarborough District North Yorkshire England; Review: Well we've been twice now and would go again we are a young couple who could afford the best hotel in town BUT for the money, the character etc why would we! The foods average to good depending on dining area. The entertainment is typical British seaside and what else would you want visiting Scarborough!? Only problem is parking although situated literally on the door step of a car park getting a space is sometimes (particularly at the height of the "silly season"). Apart from that staff are friendly and make the most of their run down surroundings which need a decent tidy up (not just a lick of paint which the manager must have found in his shed to touch up dated areas) haha! All that aside we would stay again and what do you want for a few quid? It wouldn't be Scarborough without the dated hotels and tat! Enjoy!; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: The Liner Hotel; City: Liverpool Merseyside England; Review: Don't get me wrong the place is kept nice and clean and most staff are friendly enough. Parents stay here a lot on their "sail away" deal (I think that's what it's called) two nights afternoon tea, evening meal breakfast etc £199... Unfortunately due to websites updates there was/is much confusion what's included in said deal which staff were less than happy to discuss with you unless you pushed the point with them you wanted what you paid for.... Would I go again? Yes I would the food was nice and the selection was fantastic alongside the central Liverpool position and free parking....BUT the deal our family used has since gone from £199 to £299!!!! Greed? I think so....; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Lace Market Hotel Nottingham by Compass Hospitality; City: Nottingham Nottinghamshire England; Review: Booked a random couple of nights away and at the highly rated hotel at such a great price through booking.com I couldn't resist! Central Nottingham is a definite plus although some noise from the streets below is to be expected staying over a weekend but nothing to panic over! Small car park next door but we preferred the multi storey car park behind the hotel cheap cheerful and safe! Room was gorgeous modern and clean win win!; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: The One (The Selection); Author: Visit Amazon's Kiera Cass Page; Review: I loved this book and how it ended.

Title: Defiance (Defiance Trilogy); Author: Visit Amazon's C. J. Redwine Page; Review: With all that is happening between her and Logan is difficult.

The romance between the two was great, the plot and the way the characters were written were great, and the action and suspense never left dragging you more and more into the story and seeing it in real life.

I was completely enticed with this book and the rest of it's series; between the triangle of romance between her two lovers, leaves you wanting more, and your not able to put the book down. The action and adventure was exquisitely written and Sarah did a fantastic job in writing the series. Cant wait for the next book; it's leaving me hanging and wanting more.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Forsaken (The Forsaken Saga Book 1) - Kindle edition; Author: Visit Amazon's Sophia Sharp Page; Review: I enjoyed the book, but there were some things that I was unhappy about like the ending, I wanted more with the ending but other than that I really like the book and how it was written, and action, and romance.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: See Me; Author: Visit Amazon's Wendy Higgins Page; Review: in general the book was pretty good, in my eyes I wanted more with the FFG and a battle maybe of some sort with the leprechauns and fairies, but I do recommend this book who is searching for a good romance, and some adventure with the human and fantasy world.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Sapphire Sun (The Lost Magic); Author: Visit Amazon's Suzi Davis Page; Review: is simply loved this book my all time favorite for the year, perfect detail, romance, adventure, it was amazing!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Scorch Trials; Author: Visit Amazon's James Dashner Page; Review: This is the world greatest book next to its first book Maze Runner, and the third book The Death Cure! It is beautifully written, perfect amount of action, a little romance, and kept me on my feet, begging for more chapters than what it had, this book along with the other two deserve prime 5 stars, I would say the series Maze Runner by James Dashner deserves book of the year. But I think the books need more information on WICKED, and on Chancellor Paige, who is she, is she the good guy or the bad guy. Also in the last two books, they are always doing something else completely different then what happened two seconds ago on the last sentence, I guess you could say it bounces around a lot, but overall this is a great book, well done James Dashner.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Guardian (The Guardian Series) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's A.J. Messenger Page; Review: I absolutley love this book! I was so captivated I couldn't consentrate on anything else besides the pages in front of me I was trapped in the story of declan and her life. I loved the romance and love between the two an how it was forbidden but yet they imagined and said aloud how they felt and I loved the passion! She did such an amazing job im going crazy for the journey into the next book!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_books |

Title: The Clockwork Three; Author: Matthew J. Kirby; Review: While I was reading this book, I thought, these three kids were amazing with teamwork. Giuseppe, Fredrick, and Hannah all have a problem, but the others have the key to solve it. After they all met each other, and they knew each others problems, on a page it said " Giuseppe thought about how they all three wanted something." Then it said. " He cleared his throat then said.' Listen you two. I'll help you if you help me.'" Then they all agreed to help each other, and the three went on to solve the problems. At times, death was near, but they all stuck together... and survived. They realize that they must trust in others and themselves, to achieve what they need, and to do that they need teamwork.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_books |

Title: Sheraton Philadelphia Society Hill Hotel; City: Philadelphia Pennsylvania; Review: We have stayed in many hotels and B&Bs on the east coast and elsewhere...in our opinion there isn't any other hotel that matches the excellence of Sheraton Society HIll.. From the young men who meet you at the door/car, to the front desk folks, to the women who clean your room, everyone goes out of their way to ensure that you have everything you need. If you have a particular need, all you have to do is engage a staff member in dialogue who will then set about working to solve your issue. Everyone here is most professional. We are in Philly several times/year..we will stay no where else!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Wayne Hotel; City: Wayne Pennsylvania; Review: This was our second stay at the Wayne Hotel, Wayne, Pa. Upon arrival I was immediately impressed by the reception staff at the front desk..She couldn't have been more personable, professional and helpful. A small and beautifully decorated hotel situated in the quaint and very welcoming town of Wayne, Pa , it is within easy access to many other Pa sites of interest. The Wayne offers a beautiful front porch for drinks, lunch/dinner, a "farm to table" upscale restaurant and a very popular bar. We anxiously await our return to the Wayne.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Inn at Sawmill Farm; City: Dover Vermont; Review: We have stayed at Inn at Saw Mill, Dover, Vt. several times now. It is always truly a most relaxing and bucolic way to spend a few days. Everyone on staff aims to please, or to just leave you be...if that's your wish..; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: The Meeting Street Inn; City: Charleston South Carolina; Review: We have been to Charleston,SC several times. This visit we tried the Meeting Street Inn, and we were totally taken by every aspect.

When we return to Charleston, this B & B will be our first choice.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Park House Hotel; City: Galway County Galway Western Ireland; Review: This may be the most exceptional hotel we have ever had the pleasure of staying in...anywhere!

Title: Morris House Hotel; City: Philadelphia Pennsylvania; Review: We accidentally discovered this quaint historic hotel in the center of Philly. Beautifully restored, friendly and accessible staff (and owners)...and walking distance to the important sites in the center of Philly. This hotel has its own restaurant (M) and small casual bar....both with a 10% discount for in-house guests, and more importantly the staff within are wonderful. This hotel is more moderately priced than the larger hotels in the area and well worth a visit...parking is across the street in a busy parking garage and is discounted by the hotel. The hotel does get busy so book ahead.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Morris House Hotel; City: Philadelphia Pennsylvania; Review: Heard about Morris House Hotel in Historic area of Philly... gave it a try... walking distance to many cites, restaurants and theaters.. nice rooms, restaurant and bar on premise.. parking is my only issue... you get a discount but their lot is shared by Penn Med; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Given the interaction history of a user with hotels as follows:
Title: Hampton Inn Laurinburg; City: Laurinburg North Carolina; Review: We usually stay at Hampton Inn or other Hilton hotels. But we have had a few bad experiences lately. This one had an "okay" bed, not bad but not as good as Hampton usually has. That was the best thing I can say for this hotel. It felt like a third-rate room....nothing close to that "Hilton quality" you would expect. The worse thing was the bathroom, which is in bad need of renovation. The tub was etched so badly they put a stick-down mat, which did not hide all of the discoloration, and it served as a trap for dirt and germs. The vent above the tub was painted at some point in time to try to make it look better, but it looked very bad. The shower curtain was needing to be trashed, as it had several bad rips, one of which I show in the pics below. This Hampton, along with others we have experienced on this two-week trip, needs a major renovation, or they need to take their sign down (literally and figuratively) that they are affiliated with Hampton Hotels.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Hampton Inn Danville; City: Danville Virginia; Review: After a couple of disappointing stays at Hampton Inns the last two weeks, we have become more skeptical and wary. I saw on the Hampton website that this Hampton Inn had great ratings on Tripadvisor.com, so went ahead to try this one. We were not disappointed. The hotel appeared to have recently installed new carpet, the room was clean, the bed and pillows were VERY comfortable...true to the Hampton reputation I have loved in the past. The breakfast was great, staff friendly....couldn't complain about a single thing!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hampton Inn Douglas; City: Douglas Georgia; Review: We reserved this hotel for eight nights for a business trip, sight unseen...we can always count on Hampton. Not. We stayed the first night and were horribly disappointed. Neither my husband or I slept well...a first for us in a Hampton Hotel. The bed was very hard, and the smell of the hotel was very "not good". We couldn't decide for sure, but thought we smelled stale cigarette smell. Since the hotel told us it was a non-smoking room and there was no smoking on that particular floor, we went ahead and stayed the one night, against our better judgement. My husband is very allergic to cigarette smoke. Sure enough, he did not feel good the next day....or the next. It almost put him in the bed. Needless to say, we cancelled the reservation for the next 7 nights and moved to another hotel. Very bad experience.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Hilton Garden Inn Phoenix Airport; City: Phoenix Arizona; Review: This was our first stay at a Hilton Garden Inn, although we had stayed regularly in Hampton Inns for years. We had heard that the HGI's were a cut above on the Hilton list of hotels, so when we saw that this one had a decent rate we decided to try it. It was great in a lot of ways, but left us feeling disappointed that it was not as nice as expected. First of all, there were very noticeable cracks around the door (causing some of the noise that another reviewer mentioned, probably). The worst thing was this: My husband laid his black pants on the bed and when he picked them up they had pet hair all over them. We carefully select hotels that do not allow pets, because we do not allow pets inside our house and we don't care to sleep with anyone else's. I understand that the hotel may not always know when people slip their pets in the building, but there is no excuse for the duvet covers not being washed... the maids obviously had not stripped the duvet and washed it (as advertised). It was not a very pleasant experience, and very disappointing for our first HGI stay.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Hilton Garden Inn Starkville; City: Starkville Mississippi; Review: We loved everything about this hotel. It was impressive from the moment we entered the front door....felt more like the upper priced hotels that we usually cannot afford, yet was very reasonable....cost less than hotels we have stayed in recently that weren't nearly as nice. The staff was extra friendly. The little extras do not go unnoticed! Like the 24 hour coffees and creamer near the front door. Everything about the lobby was cozy and yet spacious and beautiful. It was very cold outside, and the lobby felt and looked so warm and welcoming I was tempted to just curl up on a couch and stay for a while. We were happy to find that the in-house restaurant was still open and promptly sat down to order, since it would save us a trip to town to hunt a drive-through that might still be open on a week night. The food was delicious. When we turned in, we were not disappointed in our beautiful clean room, with the usual comfy king size Hilton bed and pillows. Like I said, the little extras go a long way, and this HGI was long on extras....we will recommend this hotel!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Comfort Suites Goodyear; City: Goodyear Arizona; Review: We booked this hotel for a coupe of reasons. We were going to be in town for business and it fit the bill for being fairly close to where my husband needed to be each morning. Second, it was one of the less expensive choices compared with the overpriced hotels in the nearby area of Avondale, which was closer still to where we really needed to be. Thirdly, it was listed on Tripadvisor as the #1 choice in Goodyear....so we booked it. We were there three nights, and we were not disappointed. The staff was friendly, the hotel seemed new, was very pretty and clean, our spacious two-queen bed room was top-notch in every way.....super super comfy beds and pillows. We used to swear by Hampton and say no one could come up to their comfortable beds. This CS proved us wrong. We definitely would stay here again....Loved this hotel!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hilton Garden Inn Starkville; City: Starkville Mississippi; Review: I had some concerns, but will not list them since the operations manager had a wonderful attitude when I voiced them. I was going to list a couple of complaints, but Lauren offered a sincere apology, offered to upgrade our room and personally check it for cleanliness next trip (we travel to Starkville every few months on business) and gave us bonus points for our stay. If she is willing to bend over backward that far to make things right, we will certainly give Hilton Garden Inn of Starkville another chance, and I'll just bet our experience will be 100% top notch next time!! Thanks, Lauren!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Express Hotel Suites Mobile Saraland; City: Saraland Alabama; Review: No wonder this hotel is listed as the number one hotel in Saraland. We have stayed at this HIE several times on business and have been more than pleased. On this particular visit we had a little issue on arrival, and when we voiced our concern the manager, Teresa, was extremely apologetic. She promised a room upgrade on our next stay (which she followed through with), she gave is a thank-you note along with a complementary snack basket. This lady is a first rate manager, and we are happy to recommend this great hotel. We will continue to stay at Saraland HIE!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hampton Inn Easley; City: Easley South Carolina; Review: My husband and I travel for his job, and stay in hotels approximately 15 nights per month, sometimes more. This is probably the least impressive of all the hotels that we stay at. Barely clean enough to "pass", barely nice enough so you don't feel like you're in the local roach motel. But we have continued to stay there every few months because it is near the plant that my husband must visit regularly. This July 20th we had a reservation, but realized when my husband was delayed getting away from the office that we could not make the entire trip, so called to cancel. Guess what, no cancellation unless they have 24 hours notice! We did not realize this as only heavily touristed cities have such rules. But Easley, SC??? Called to speak to the manager to ask for cancellation (we are REGULAR customers and GOLD members). No luck, he said no cancellations, no refunds, no exceptions, very matter of fact. No apologies. By the way. They were completely full that night, as they usually are, so I'm certain they could have re-sold the room, and probably did! We will not be back to this location. There are plenty of other nearby towns that will be happy to take our business.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Comfort Suites Saraland; City: Saraland Alabama; Review: We go to Saraland on business periodically and usually stay at the Fairfield (which is fairly new, and really nice) and before that we stayed at the HIE. We weren’t able to plan too much ahead this time and waited until we were on the road to make a reservation. Big mistake....everything was full except this Comfort Suites. The reviews looked kind of mixed, and one from November said “under renovations” so I was like, it should be nicely redone now...how bad can it be. I found out as soon as we walked in the lobby. Construction and dust everywhere. I asked the lady as we checked in if the rooms had been redone yet and she said no, they weren’t even done with the lobby/dining area yet...(obviously). We had no choice since there were no rooms available at nicer hotels, so we went ahead. Wow. Carpet stains like I don’t think I’ve ever seen, a huge hole completely worn through in one place. Walls dirty-nasty-looking, needing paint like I’m pretty sure I’ve never seen. I literally felt like everything I touched or let my luggage touch might contaminate my things. On the upside, the sheets and bathroom seemed fairly clean. But that did little to help our feelings... the walls and floor were so horrible. It literally looked like it needed burned, but I’m sure it’s nothing a good old fashioned renovation won’t cure. But, good gracious, since November, and they don’t even have the new tile laid in the lobby area? I would definitely wait until it is completely finished before trying this one again. By the way, the pictures simply did not capture how nasty-looking the walls were.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Fairfield Inn Suites Flagstaff East; City: Flagstaff Arizona; Review: We were in Phoenix on business and decided to hop on up to Grand Canyon with some family who live in Phoenix. We booked this hotel since it was listed as new and it did not disappoint. Perfect stay in every way. The rooms were nice, clean, the beds and pillows super comfy, and the staff extra helpful and friendly. Super super friendly staff....cannot day enough about how they make you feel. Highly recommend this hotel!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Tru By Hilton Little Rock West; City: Little Rock Arkansas; Review: To be fair, my husband and I are pretty spoiled by Hilton Garden Inn and Homewood...even Home2. We are diamond members who stay over 100 nights annually in hotels. But we have been curious about the new Tru, so took the plunge last evening. The name should have given us a clue....they even cut corners on the spelling of “True”. While we sort of expected “basic”, they take basic to the next level. Zero real furniture... the tv sits on a ledge not quit wide enough for it, and the only chair is about as cheap as a folding chair...just doesn’t fold. No place to sit cozy, not a single ottoman...heaven forbid a sofa! It put me in mind of a Super 8...only a little more contemporary. But the most unwelcoming thing was no carpet...not even a warm rug for our freezing cold feet. It honestly had the feel of a hospital room...minus the nurse call button and constant beeping. I get that hard floors could be more sanitary, but they weren’t. It looked like there was a couple spills that had’t been mopped up, and the whole thing was sticky. The beds were okay, we slept fine, but I’m pretty sure we’ll be sticking with the “H” hotels if there’s an option.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Hoppe's No. 9, 9-Piece Pistol Cleaning Kit; Brand: Hoppe's; Review: This is a great cleaning kit. The aluminum container holds all the brushes and patches, but is small enough to fit in an organizer box with other cleaning supplies. The price is great too. If you were to buy just the brushes separately, it would cost twice as much and you wouldn't have the nifty little container. This would make a great inexpensive gift for any gun nut !!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: DD DAGGER DEFENSE Dagger Defense 45 Degree offset side rail mount for; Brand: DD DAGGER DEFENSE; Review: Good, solid piece. Appears well made and was easy to mount on AR for laser.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Barsony New Gun OWB Belt Holster w/Magazine Pouch for Full Size 9mm 40 45 Pistols; Brand: Barsony; Review: This is a well made affordable holster for OWB carry. Using it for a SAR K2P and the fit was a little snug at first, but seems to be loosening up enough for an easy draw and return. The belt clip is strong and the hammer strap is easy to release. The mag pouch closure is long enough to accommodate a +2 mag. They are gun specific, but they have a long list of guns that they have models for. Would definitely buy again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Pets First Collegiate Pet Accessories; Brand: Pets First; Review: Nice , well made collar. Bright colors and strong clasp and loop.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Tervis 1056775 Auburn Tigers Tumbler with Emblem and Orange Lid 16oz Mug, Clear; Brand: Tervis; Review: Nice size and well made. Supplied lid seals well. Would be better if the base was a bit wider, but not a game changer.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: The Real Frank Zappa Book; Author: Frank Zappa; Genres: history, comics, graphic, biography, historical fiction, non-fiction; Review: only interesting to fans most likely. not an autobiography so much as selected stories/musings from zappa's life, as told by the man himself.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Ham on Rye; Author: Charles Bukowski; Genres: history, young-adult, comics, poetry, graphic, biography, historical fiction, non-fiction, fiction; Review: This book is sorta like Catcher in the Rye, except not for pussies. It also happens to be better written than Catcher in the Rye. Brutally revealing autobiography of the first 20 or so years of Bukowski's life, this is the kind of book that makes you think you can be writer... except you can't; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Zappa: A Biography; Author: Barry Miles; Genres: history, biography, historical fiction, non-fiction, fiction; Review: Extreme amounts of detail are included in this uber-comprehensive biography. An awesome read for anyone familiar with the span of Zappa's career as it provides a great deal of context to each of his releases. It's fun to listen to the music that corresponds to each era as you read about it. The author doesn't hesitate to inject his opinion into the biography, which surprisingly isn't the least bit annoying or distracting. After reading this, it's impossible not to have a huge respect for Zappa's many accomplishments, musical and otherwise. It's sort of incredible that a movie hasn't been made about his life yet.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The 120 Days of Sodom and Other Writings; Author: Marquis de Sade; Genres: history, biography, historical fiction, non-fiction, romance, fiction; Review: Makes Chuck Palahniuk look like Beverly Cleary. The best part is it was written almost 225 years ago. Surprisingly easy to read despite its age, assuming you have the stomach for it. Beyond the shock value, it's actually top notch satire of the overindulgence of France's social elite during the rule of Louis XIII. As a bonus, it contains some other writings of De Sade's (including an amazing roided up take on Oedipus Rex) as well as some criticisms of his work, which throw some historical context into the fray. 120 Days helps to explain why this guy is the etymological root of the word "sadism."; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: L.A. Confidential (L.A. Quartet, #3); Author: James Ellroy; Genres: history, thriller, crime, biography, historical fiction, fiction, mystery; Review: Maybe my favorite ending to a book ever. Thins out a bit in the middle, but picks back up as the smoke starts to clear.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Less Than Zero; Author: Bret Easton Ellis; Genres: young-adult, fiction; Review: I'd actually give this a 3.5, but GR isn't down for that and this book made me feel better about myself. So I rounded up. The story was probably a lot more shocking when it came out, but it's still a quick read that will pull you, despite there not being much plot to speak of, save for the unsettling climax.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: American Gods (American Gods, #1); Author: Neil Gaiman; Genres: thriller, crime, paranormal, fiction, fantasy, mystery; Review: This book grew on me a lot as I was reading it. I was sad when it was over, but it had a very satisfying ending.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Alchemist; Author: Paulo Coelho; Genres: history, young-adult, romance, paranormal, biography, historical fiction, non-fiction, fantasy, fiction; Review: Not bad, but disappointing overall. Too much religion crap. Not sure why this one is so popular as there's not much going on.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: The City of Dreaming Books (Zamonia, #4); Author: Walter Moers; Genres: young-adult, thriller, children, crime, paranormal, fiction, fantasy, mystery; Review: Awesome.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Liberation: Being the Adventures of the Slick Six After the Collapse of the United States of America; Author: Brian Francis Slattery; Genres: thriller, crime, paranormal, fiction, fantasy, mystery; Review: Very heavy on character development, not so thick in the plot department. Reminded me of Philip K. Dick in that the author creates an incredibly detailed universe filled with interesting characters and then doesn't do all that much with them. Still a good, fun read. Lots of great ideas in this book, and I'm a big fan of the writing style. A well thought out take on what post-collapse America might look like makes it engaging. Definitely worth a read.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Random Acts of Senseless Violence; Author: Jack Womack; Genres: thriller, crime, paranormal, fiction, fantasy, mystery; Review: fun read. recommended if you need something short and sweet; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Black Dahlia (L.A. Quartet, #1); Author: James Ellroy; Genres: history, mystery, thriller, crime, biography, historical fiction, non-fiction, fiction; Review: 3.5 stars, like all of James Ellroy's novels to me. Not unintelligent by any means, but probably best if you just finished up something heavier and want to be engaged without breaking your brain in half.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Dune (Dune Chronicles #1); Author: Frank Herbert; Genres: paranormal, fantasy, fiction; Review: Absurdly good. Everyone should read this book - even non sci-fi fans.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Ishmael: An Adventure of the Mind and Spirit; Author: Daniel Quinn; Genres: history, paranormal, biography, historical fiction, non-fiction, fantasy, fiction; Review: This book was a lot like In-N-Out Burger. While it's made with quality ingredients, at the end of the day it's still fast food.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Watchmen; Author: Alan Moore; Genres: history, mystery, thriller, comics, crime, paranormal, graphic, biography, historical fiction, fantasy, fiction; Review: probably cooler if you read a lot of graphic novels/comics leading up to and during the 80s. i enjoyed reading it a lot, but it doesn't really stand up as a novel. maybe i missed the point?; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: The Fountainhead; Author: Ayn Rand; Genres: history, biography, historical fiction, non-fiction, romance, fiction; Review: Excellent storytelling even if you don't agree with all of the philosophy, which I found to be somewhat full of holes. Life needs more balance than the author suggests, but there's still plenty everyone could take from this one.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: A Game of Thrones (A Song of Ice and Fire, #1); Author: George R.R. Martin; Genres: history, romance, mystery, thriller, crime, paranormal, biography, historical fiction, fantasy, fiction; Review: crack; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Total Chaos; Author: Jean-Claude Izzo; Genres: thriller, crime, fiction, mystery; Review: 2.5 stars. probably only good if you've spent some time in marseilles, as a great deal of space is spent describing it in detail. that - as the author has seemingly admitted himself - is the best part about the novel. as a noir/detective novel, it's crap, and i found it incredibly hard to give a shit about the protagonist. without giving away too much, the story ends nice and tidily, but for almost no reason related to the actions of the main character. kind of a let down. it's almost as if the author used this thin plot and bland characters as a vehicle to describe a city he loves and to talk about his feelings. maybe something was lost in translation, but i'm not all that compelled to read the other two installments in the trilogy.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: The Road; Author: Cormac McCarthy; Genres: thriller, crime, paranormal, fiction, fantasy, mystery; Review: whoa; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: All the Pretty Horses (The Border Trilogy, #1); Author: Cormac McCarthy; Genres: history, mystery, thriller, crime, biography, historical fiction, romance, fiction; Review: Can't wait to read the other two volumes. Highly recommend this book to everyone; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Shadow of the Wind (The Cemetery of Forgotten Books, #1); Author: Carlos Ruiz Zafon; Genres: history, fiction, romance, thriller, crime, paranormal, biography, historical fiction, fantasy, mystery; Review: Pretty fluffy, but a very fun read. Check it out if you need something light but entertaining.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: William Golding, Lord of the flies Penguin Study Notes; Author: Gillian E. Hanscombe; Genres: history, young-adult, children, paranormal, biography, historical fiction, fantasy, fiction; Review: damn kids; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: A Feast for Crows (A Song of Ice and Fire, #4); Author: George R.R. Martin; Genres: history, paranormal, biography, historical fiction, fantasy, fiction; Review: 3.5 stars. maybe the low point in the series so far, but starts lots of good story lines. keeps your ass hooked for sure. dude needs to get on his shit and finish the damn fifth book... then he better get on to the sixth and seventh before his chicken fried heart gives out. they should ban him from the lame ass conventions he goes to until he's done.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: 1Q84; Author: Haruki Murakami; Genres: romance, thriller, crime, paranormal, fiction, fantasy, mystery; Review: little disappointing compared to earlier books but still good.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Gomorrah; Author: Roberto Saviano; Genres: history, fiction, thriller, crime, biography, historical fiction, non-fiction, mystery; Review: interesting topic, bad storytelling; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Shantaram; Author: Gregory David Roberts; Genres: history, mystery, thriller, comics, crime, graphic, biography, historical fiction, non-fiction, romance, fiction; Review: definitely can get corny at times but great story overall and memorable characters. author is definitely a bit emotionally immature, but maybe writing this booked helped him through that (?); Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: A Discovery of Witches (All Souls Trilogy, #1); Author: Deborah Harkness; Genres: history, young-adult, mystery, thriller, crime, paranormal, biography, historical fiction, fantasy, romance, fiction; Review: zzzzz. nothing happens and the plot never goes anywhere. a novel entirely of filler, mediocre writing, and sappy made-for-tv romance. i just want to clarify that this is the shittiest novel i've ever read without having quit halfway through. don't make the same mistake i did.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Kimjongilia; Author: Victor Fox; Genres: history, mystery, thriller, crime, biography, historical fiction, non-fiction, romance, fiction; Review: high school level writing quality and I'm not sure why they say this is a true story since it's not. i don't know what possessed me to finish this book as it just kind of sputtered to an end after a long hard slog through page after page of garbage plot and insufferable characters you hope will all die suddenly. the bright side is whatever i read next is going to seem like dostoyevsky by comparison. stay the hell away from this one, folks.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Doc; Author: Mary Doria Russell; Genres: history, mystery, thriller, comics, crime, graphic, biography, historical fiction, non-fiction, fiction; Review: Cool historical fictional surrounding Doc Holliday and Wyatt Earp that's rooted mainly in research done by the author that seems bent on trying to dispel some of the BS propagated by the many Hollywood portrayals of these people. It is of course still fictionalized and sexied up a bit, but seems mostly grounded in reality. Not really a cohesive narrative arc, but more a chronological retelling of seemingly notable events that took place (mostly) in Dodge City, Kansas in the mid to late 19th century that builds a believable portrait of the characters and political climate of the time. It's a fascinating window to a part of American history I don't really know much about aside from what I gleaned from HBO's Deadwood.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Nightingale; Author: Kristin Hannah; Genres: history, biography, historical fiction, romance, fiction; Review: Excellently disguised chick-lit. I was like a 6 year old with a plate of queso covered broccoli; gobbled up this book quick. Loses points for about a dozen too many obnoxiously melodramatic moments. It gets especially bad towards the end. Otherwise it's a page turner.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Disaster Artist: My Life Inside The Room, the Greatest Bad Movie Ever Made; Author: Greg Sestero; Genres: history, biography, historical fiction, non-fiction, fiction; Review: If you've ever seen The Room, read this book. If you haven't, watch The Room then read this book.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Wisconsinmade Walnut Steak Knife Block with Oak or Cherry, Oak and Walnut; Brand: Wisconsinmade; Review: Our new knife set came with a nice knife holder, but did not have any place for steak knives. So, I searched around for a block just for steak knives. We liked the looks of this one the best, with the contrasting woods. We have cherry kitchen cabinets, so we got the cherry and walnut block. It coordinates better with our dark cabinets than the other, rather bland colored, blocks would have. The workmanship and finish look just fine on the block that we received. The knives are a bit close together, but it is workable.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Mercer Culinary Genesis 6-Piece Forged Knife Block Set, Tempered Glass Block; Brand: Mercer Culinary; Review: After having cheap knives all of our married life, we got this set for ourselves at Christmas and love it. The blades are so much sharper and keep their edge better. The glass knife holder looks great sitting on the counter. If you are looking to put this against your backsplash, you will be disappointed, as you will not be able to pull the longer knives without tilting the holder towards you. We just put the block toward the edge of the counter, next to a tall cabinet, so getting knives in and out are no problem.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Human Creations Gel'O Cool Pillow Mat 11 x 22 - soft, odorless, no water filling! - Gift Box; Brand: Human Creations; Review: I've tried a few "cooling" pillows, as I get very hot when I sleep, and was sorely disappointed. I decided to give this chill pad a try, based on the reviews. I was pleasantly surprised. Where my head sits will eventually warm up and I do end up rolling to a different part of the pillow to get to a cooler part of the mat. It will move around in the pillow case and on some nights I will need to reposition it before going to sleep. It would likely help if the pad was closer to the size of a standard pillow. Overall, I am happy with it.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Classic Brands Cool Sleep Ventilated Gel Memory Foam Gusseted Pillow with Performance Cool Pass Cover, Standard - 810705-6030; Brand: Classic Brands; Review: I've been looking for a "cooling" pillow and tried this one based on the reviews. After the obligatory airing out time, I tried it out and could not tell a difference between this pillow and my other memory foam pillow, as far as staying cool. It would get rather warm and I'd have to move to a different part of the pillow. It is also a bit firmer and taller than my other memory foam pillow, which made it harder to get used to. I plan to return it.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: OXO SteeL Ice Bucket and Tongs Set; Brand: OXO; Review: It is a nice looking ice bucket and has good capacity. However, don't ever try to pop the lid off for cleaning. I broke off half of the plastic pin on one side of the bucket. They should make the lid removable for easier cleaning and filling. The clear lid does help you see the ice level. The ice tongs are nice and being able to clip them to the bucket when not used is a plus.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: AccuSharp 006C GardenSharp Tool Sharpener; Brand: AccuSharp; Review: My wife kept buying new pruners when they got dull, as we had no easy way to sharpen them. We had a knife sharpener, but that just didn't have the correct angle for sharpening pruners. I decided to search for something specifically designed for the purpose and thought that I would give these a try. On my wife's full size shears, this was able to give the cutting blade a nice sharp edge. However, with the size of the head of this sharpener, I did have to spread the blades out as much as possible to reach as far back on the blade as I could. That meant a bit of fighting the spring on the pruner handles. The spring helps pop the blades apart as you cut, but not that far apart. I then tried this on the mini pruners that my wife has and was only able to sharpen about half of the blade. The size of the sharpener's head was just too big to fit it in far enough between the blades. If the manufacturer could redesign the head to make it smaller, to fit into tighter areas, that would make this tool even better. I do also like the finger guard for safety and the fact that it is made in the USA.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | amazon_Home_and_Kitchen |

Title: STM Swift Extra Small Shoulder Bag, for 11-Inch Laptop and Tablet - Dark Red (stm-112-084K-40); Brand: STM; Review: Simple, very light weight and enough storage to accommodate your charger, cords and a small note book. Padding is minimal, but it's not designed to be dropped, just an occasional bump. If you need something more substantial you will loose the compactness of this case. I've had another STM bag for years with my other computer. Zippers on both cases are very substantial.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: The Roald Dahl Audio CD Collection; Author: Visit Amazon's Roald Dahl Page; Review: Before buying this audio book, I did not know very much about Roald Dahl's stories. Even Mom and Dad have enjoyed the eccentric characters, great voices and witty dialogue. My kids (ages 5-13) listen to these stories again and again. Very silly and slightly scary in places (like all good fairy tales), but thoughtful and interesting for the whole family.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Classic roses: An illustrated encyclopaedia and grower's manual of old roses, shrub roses, and climbers; Author: Visit Amazon's Peter Beales Page; Review: I have both the newer and older versions of this book and enjoy them both. I have noticed that Mr. Beales' experience with certain roses differs from mine. Especially I have noticed this with tender tea roses and species roses. I think this is likely due to big differences in our climate. (I am in a very hot and humid/mild winters climate) I often re-read this book before bed and will probably buy another someday when my copy wears out.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: Make the Bread, Buy the Butter: What You Should and Shouldn't Cook from Scratch; Author: Visit Amazon's Jennifer Reese Page; Review: I read this book and enjoyed it. Got some recipes I will try and others (luxury/gourmet foods) that made me roll my eyes. This is not meant to be a 'be all, end all" purist treatise on frugality, gourmet cooking, or back-to-the-lander living. It's a fun, informative read and I enjoyed her honest assessments of trying to make various foods at home. The goat stories were great too. Can't imagine the mess that must have been her small suburban yard.....????? I learned quite a bit about things I would never have imagined making myself that I now plan to try. Sometimes folk, myself included, who aspire to homemade, local, organic etc... take ourselves too seriously. This book does address some serious issues, but the stress we put ourselves under can affect our health/quality of life more than the rare stop by KFC. This is a great, honest, LOL foodie book. Enjoy. :); Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: NIV, Thinline Bible, Large Print, Imitation Leather, Brown, Red Letter Edition; Author: Visit Amazon's Zondervan Page; Review: This is the new NIV (as opposed to the TNIV) version, so it doesn't do away with all gender-specific references, but some. While there is some controversy in Christian circles, the world at large is probably in favor of that. As someone who started off memorizing King James, and went to the NIV in high school, I still think this is far more comprehensible, but less poetic. The kindle version makes this more like a book, as opposed to being able to easily find chapter in verse, but that was by purpose, so this fits the bill.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: A Cold-Blooded Business (Kate Shugak Mystery); Author: Visit Amazon's Dana Stabenow Page; Review: I love this novel. Dana Stabenow writes a very interesting tale of a native Aleut in Alaska who wants nothing better than to hibernate at the homestead, but is realistic enough to know that a girl's gotta eat. I love the plot turns and fast pace of the novel, and while Stabenow can get really preachy, this one has appropriate references and commentary about big business in Alaska and the treatment of the Native population. This was a very enjoyable novel, and certainly one of my favorites in this series.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Play With Fire A Kate Shugak Mystery); Author: Visit Amazon's Dana Stabenow Page; Review: Like other reveiwers, I actually like Stabenow. Her Kate Shugak series, which I am currently reading through, is fun and inviting and gives you a glimpse of the last frontier from a insider perspective. While the main antagonist, Kate Shugak can be a bit preachy and opinionated, she did seem mostly fair, and the plots usually revolve around her solving some murder with that being the main focus of the story. This story was awful. It started out odd, what with all the quotes about mushrooms and having Kate and Bobby pick up a stray who is constantly quoting the bible for no apparent reason. The murder itself was a not very interesting plot device for the unabashed proselytizing that hijacks the rest of the book. It struck me as really odd that this book celebrates the religion of the Native population while sterotyping almost everyone else in the lower 48 - city dwellers, rednecks and Christians all get heavy-handed treatments that read like caricatures of Americans from some Communist country during cold war. There was no mystery in the mystery, the characters were all one-dimensional cutouts and the preaching had me skipping ahead on my Kindle. DRIVEL.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: The Back of the Napkin: Solving Problems and Selling Ideas with Pictures; Author: Visit Amazon's Dan Roam Page; Review: A lot of people really like this book for its practical, down-to-earth application of basic marketing principals. I needed this for a marketing course, and it just didn't teach me anything. While Roam keeps saying that anyone can right up quick, brilliant ideas at cocktail hour, his documentation on methodology leads me to believe he's had a drink of his own cool-aid. This didn't teach any concrete way to take the basics of a company or item or whatever and find a clever and unusal but effective way to make that idea animated for the viewer, but it was full of anticdotes about how the author had come up with great ideas on the fly. I didn't learn anything from this book except that Dan Roam is a marketing genious. Too bad that doesn't seem to rub off on the reader.; Rating: 3.0/5.0

Title: Taking Sides: Clashing Views in World Politics; Author: John Rourke; Review: Taking sides pits one expert or public person against another on important issues of the time. This one was ok. THere were some interesting topics, and an attempt was made to find intelligent voices for both the nay and yay. The book is alright. Some of the topics were not all that interesting, but if you're forced to get it for a class like I was, you should survive.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Intercultural Competence: Interpersonal Communication Across Cultures, Books a la Carte Edition (8th Edition); Author: Visit Amazon's Myron W. Lustig Page; Review: My presumption is that most people getting this book are buying it for an Intercultural Communications class, so it isn't as if you can NOT buy it, but in case you were interested in what you were getting into, I will give you my two cents. This book was overblown. The authors meandered through some pretty common sense things like some cultures are subversive and some are dominant. The concepts were silly, the writing was not neutral, but obviously biased and the material was immanently and immediately forgettable. You will probably do well in the class because it is the shallowest of textbooks, but don't look to be stimulated.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Troubled Waters: (The Lake Series, Book 2); Author: Visit Amazon's AnnaLisa Grant Page; Review: Troubled Waters proved more poorly written then the first of the trilogy, The Lake. The author messes up common phrases such as "sordid details" (writing "sorted details") and "biding time" (using "buying time"). The speech is overblown and unbelievable as are the relationships described. The protagonist falls madly in love with everyone she meets, and all of the characters become oh so close. The story could not be more trite, and I'm sorry that I wasted my time reading it.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Shepherding a Child's Heart; Author: Visit Amazon's Tedd Tripp Page; Review: Mr. Tripp has some good advice for raising your child in a wholesome, Christian manner. However, as a child who was often disciplined but did not understand why and that the discipline was so that I would be raised in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, I feared my parents without understanding that they loved me and wanted me to have a heart for God. The emphasis here seems to be a bit too heavy-handed. You cannot spank the sin out of your child's heart.; Rating: 3.0/5.0

Title: The Tree House Resort; City: Jaipur Jaipur District Rajasthan; Review: My family and I (spouse and two teenagers) spent a wonderfully restful 2 nights at the Tree House and really enjoyed it. As pointed out earlier, there a lot of things to do and best of all it's a quiet, clean and restful environment! We swam, played badminton, tested our archery skills (not too bad), ate very good meals, slept in, rode bicycles and wandered around during our stay....which is just what we were looking for. The rooms are quite comfortable, just how many places can you stay where there are large branches running through your room. The staff is very good and helpful. We did enjoy our stay and would recommend it for a one or two night getaway.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Parc Corniche Condominium Resort Hotel; City: Orlando Florida; Review: My family and I (spouse, two teenage children) have been staying at the Parc Corniche on and off since 2002, for a total of 5 times. In fact, we are on our way back this Summer too. You can't beat the price. We always stay in the 2 bedroom condo...full kitchen to fix dinner after that long day running around, 3 tvs to ensure everyone gets to watch what they want, WiFi--a must with two teenagers, confortable beds, great air conditioners, clean and a pool. The breakfast is just right....cereal, bagels, donuts, fruit, tea, coffee, and juice...a gret way to start the day. Location is prime, close to several restaurants, around the corner from Sea World (literally), close to International Drive and not far from Disney. Well worth the cost!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Taj Nadesar Palace Varanasi; City: Varanasi Varanasi District Uttar Pradesh; Review: During our visit to Varanasi my wife and I wanted to stay somewhere special...and we definitely found it. The traditional greeting is something to enjoy and should be appreciated, it allows the staff to welcome you to their hotel. This greeting was the start to a very special mini-vacation. The city of Varanasi is full of dramatic scenes, friendly crowds and interesting spectacles, so having the Nadesar to come "home" to was perfect. With only 10 rooms, each and every guest gets treated like a member of a small family by the staff, who are all professional, friendly and gracious hosts. I have several food allergies and only needed to make mention of them one time, and they remembered for the remainder of our stay. The gardens are beautiful and was a perfect setting to enjoy all of our meals near. The rooms are very large and in keeping with Taj tradition, were minimally changed in order to upgrade from a centuries old Maharajas' residence to a true five-star hotel. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our spa treatments at Jiva. The coconut scrub is truly calming and leaves you feeling relaxed and ready to spend another day walking along the Ghats. I would highly recommend the Nadesar to anyone visiting Varanasi, especially those looking for top shelf treatment and a great place to relax.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Miami Lakes Hotel and Golf; City: Miami Lakes Florida; Review: I located this hotel during a search for somewhere to stay that was close to the fishing guide company my son and I were going to use and some place that my wife could enjoy too. I certainly found a great place! The hotel is very brightly painted, well decorated and comfortable. The rooms are well appointed, clean, and each a little differently decorated. All employees were very friendly, accommodating and helpful. The hotel even includes a shuttle to nearby locations......all free! A bonus is being on the same piece of property as Don Shula's Steak House. Only a two minute walk for a great meal. We all truly enjoyed our stay.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Parc Corniche Condominium Resort Hotel; City: Orlando Florida; Review: My family and I have stayed here many times and once again the stay was very nice. We always get the two room suite as it gives everyone their privacy and comfort. We stayed in upgraded room and it was well done, all amenities were in place and well-kept. The daily towel change is a welcome sight after being out all day in the heat and ready for another shower. The air conditioners work REALLY well. The kitchen facilities are very convenient. The location is only a little bit out, but just down the street from Sea World. The included breakfast, is quit nice and offers a wide variety of food. Overall you definitely get your money's worth staying here. I would recommend this to anyone, especially those with children.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Mayukuyuku Bush Camp; City: Kafue National Park; Review: My family and I just spent three great nights at Mayukuyuku Bush Camp. The camp is less than a four (4) hour drive from Lusaka, on good roads, and located right next to the Kafue river and each tent has a river view which provides for almost continual viewing and sound from the hippos that gather to relax in the river below. Lots of crocodiles are visible on the banks of the river too. The personal attention that all the guests receive is very refreshing, from the friendly reservations process, to the guides and owners joining the guests for meals, it certainly makes you feel at “home”, and you get a chance to learn so much more. In addition to the hearing all of hippos, monkeys, lions and many other animals from the camp, we truly hit the jackpot on the first morning game drive. Our guide, Harold, and driver/spotter Stan, put us straight onto three beautiful lions…a young male and two females. As we progressed we saw Puku, Impala, and many other antelope and birds of all kinds. Then they located two large Leopards (a mating pair), which is very unusual during the day, and we got a great view as they walked back into the bush. The morning wasn’t over yet, a little later they located one of the largest herds of Elephants we’ve ever seen, taking into consideration our many safaris in Africa. Over 100 Elephants of all sizes, lots of babies, teenagers, large females and bulls too. We truly enjoyed watching them walk slowly through the bush on the way to the river. All along the way we saw various animals. Our night drive included a Lesser Bushbaby, two spotted Hyena, civet cat and several antelope species. On our next morning drive they located a small herd of Roan antelope (a rare find), Hartebeest, other antelope, and more elephants. All of the game drives were great and as you can see we saw a lot of animals and got some good pictures. In addition, we went on a boat ride on the Kafue river and saw several bird species, crocodiles and enjoyed a sundowner as the sun set on the river. On the final morning of our stay we were awoken by a Lion roaring….only 20 feet from our tent! We watched as a male and female lion wandered around our camp, just feet from our tent. During the entire time the staff were all aware of the situation and worked calmly and slowly to lead the lions, ten in all, out of the camp area. What an alarm clock! All of the facilities are in great shape, and in keeping with a green theme, the lighting in the camp is solar powered and more than adequate for any needs. The open area bathrooms are very comfortable and nicely done, with plenty of hot water, and flush toilets. If you need anything charged it can be left with the reception. A nice addition is the laundry service….what a great thing! You leave it in the morning and you; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Royal Chundu Luxury Zambezi Lodges; City: Livingstone Southern Province; Review: We have stayed at quite a few lodges in Africa and this is one of the finest we've had the pleasure of visiting. My family and I (spouse and two teenagers) spent two wonderful nights at the Royal Chundu River Lodge in December. From the time of arrival until our departure Hessah and his team took wonderful care of us. I have several food allergies and Chef Sungani was always there to offer slight changes in his recipes for my meal alone.....what a treat. All the food we had was wonderful....I especially liked the pork selection plate! My daughter had recently started college and they prepared a surprise for her with a delicious chocolate cake with candles, and even sung for her! The outside deck where we enjoyed our breakfast and lunches was so relaxing that we just hung out for a long time. It was such a delight to be provided so many choices for everything that you do while at the Chundu. We enjoyed the sunset cruise each evening, and on all occasions saw hippos and watched a large herd of elephants visiting the river for bathing. Now let me speak about the suites.....simply wonderful. They are literally on the river with a fantastic view. I always wake up very early and so enjoyed watching the sun rise over the river either from the king size bed or the mini living room in front of the sliding glass doors, enjoying my cup of tea. The room was so comfortable in every way. The huge walk-in shower with twin rain showers is so great! Everything was excellent down to the quality of the soaps and towels. We truly felt as though we were the only guests.....though we weren't. I would highly recommend the Royal Chundu Lodge. In fact my wife and I are tentatively planning to return for our 20th anniversary and stay at the Island lodge!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Extended Stay America Orlando Theme Parks Major Blvd; City: Orlando Florida; Review: Recently spent a week in this property and was happily surprised. It is well located, in a quiet area and well kept. The rooms are simple but comfortable. The kitchenette is very useful and everything was clean and worked. The only complaint I have is that the kitchen supplies were lacking. The breakfast was okay and provided enough to get the day started and was fresh. I would stay here again.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Parc Corniche Condominium Resort Hotel; City: Orlando Florida; Review: Our family (four) had another nice stay here. The room was clean, furniture in great condition and all amenities available. We were there over 4th of July and I doubt there was a room available, but there wasn't any noise. We had some family over and used the pool, a very nice area, which includes a room to get out of the heat. We've been staying here on and off for over 9 hears and have not had any big issues at all. It is well located, and you just can't beat the prices.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Shackletons; City: Livingstone Southern Province; Review: My son and I recently spent a wonderful four (4) days at Shackletons Fishing Lodge. From the cool towel on arrival down to the farewell at our car on departure everything was fantastic. You can put "Very" in front of everything.......organized, clean, experienced and friendly guides, good equipment, reasonably priced and comfortable. The rooms are very well appointed and remained fairly cool, even with the summer heat. The beds were comfortable, the shower welcoming and the location.....right on the river, outstanding. Evans, our guide, was very experienced and was able to find the fish, despite a slight lull in feeding action. He remained dedicated throughout, which resulted in quite a few strong "hits" and my son boating a 3 kilogram and a whopping 7.9 kilogram Tiger and me boating a 2.5 kilogram Tiger and a monster 13 kilogram Sharptooth catfish. We truly had a great time! The food was very tasty and filling. We had a huge and very full English breakfast for our mid-day meal and a great dinner every evening. I have several food restrictions and they prepared separate meat dishes each night for me, and I was able to eat all the veggies and other accompaniments. The lamb, chicken, steak pie and all the fixins' were cooked perfectly and very good. As you can see from above, I would very highly recommend the lodge for anyone truly interested in fishing, with a very comfortable place to rest in between the river trips.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Lions Paw Camp; City: Ngorongoro Conservation Area Arusha Region; Review: We (family of 4) stayed one night at this location, awaiting our entrance to the crater early the next morning. The location is perfect, you are inside the park and it definitely saves time when entering. It was very comfortable, though rainy and cold the night/morning we were there. The fresh popcorn was a real treat! The heaters they used to warm up the tents work well. Would only recommend one night here as the crater has limited area, and with a good guide (we had the BEST!) you can cover the crater in a day.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Porto River Aparthotel; City: Porto Porto District Northern Portugal; Review: Location, location, location...what more needs to be said. This hotel is a great place to stay right on the river front promenade. The hotel is only one year old and runs very well. The staff are all very professional, friendly and helpful. We routinely received excellent advice and guidance on places to go and places to eat. They retained quite a lot of the old world charm of the original building, while providing new and updated amenities in all the rooms. Highly recommend a river front apartment, you can open the doors to your (small) patio and watch the crowds, street performers and just soak up the local ambience. The one-bedroom apartments are quite large and offer a lot of comfort. The Suite is very well done, while not large, offers views of the city and the river front.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Historic Hutchinson House B B; City: Faribault Minnesota; Review: My wife and I spent two days here over the St Olaf graduation weekend, and what a great place! It is very close to St Olaf and an easy drive on one road all the way to Northfield. Tami and Doug are so welcoming that you feel more like a favorite member of family visiting for a few days, than a guest. The room was great, we even had our own little outside porch! All of the furnishings in the room, and the remainder of the house, are very nice, well kept and the entire house is very clean. The bed was very comfortable! The breakfasts were above and beyond what you would normally expect in a B&B (and we've stayed in many of them). They paid very close attention to my many dietary restrictions. You did NOT leave the table hungry! We would highly recommend this place to anyone/everyone!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: KHOMO Super Long 6ft (SIX Feet!) PINK USB Data Charging Cable for Samsung Galaxy Tab; Brand: KHOMO; Review: the cable is longer than what comes standard with the Samsung tabs, a nice workable length and not too long. it charges as expected and fits perfectly. As I am sure you know Samsung didn't think things through when they put the charger on the bottom of the unit, so for those of you who still try to charge while using your tabs I was told a nice trick to keep the cord from breaking... take the spring from a ball point pen and wrap it around the cord near the charging end to give it some added protection against breaking; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: GE 24702 Viper Amplified Antenna (Discontinued by Manufacturer); Brand: GE; Review: first I want to make it clear that i did not purchase mine from Amazon, I stumbled upon it at a store and popped on Amazon to hear what others had to say about it. I was using rabbit ears because I don't watch much TV, but I found I had to move it all around to get any stations to come in clearly, when I saw this (last one on the shelf at the local big lots) I was a bit concerned that it might not be better than what I currently had, was I ever wrong! I did a channel scan and came up with over 100 channels (I live in SoCal)I set it up as high as possible and started at the lowest channel and worked my way up, I did not need to reposition it or mess with the antenna which i have partially extended, my picture quality was much improved and I only had a few higher channels that didn't work well for me, but they were channels I would not watch anyhow so I didn't mess with the antenna to see if I could get them to work, but I am pretty sure that I could, but I am more than satisfied with the product. In short it works well and the design allows for easy placement and is far more attractive than clumsy rabbit ears.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Torch This Place; Brand: Atomic Fireballs; Review: I first heard "Man with the Hex" on a "What's New, Scooby Doo?" episode. Despite my juvenile television preferences, I can definitely recommend this CD to grown-ups. The music is great for road trips, or just after a generally bad day at work.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: From the Ground Up; Brand: Antigone Rising; Review: Antigone Rising has had to go the tried and true route forged by countless other up and coming bands: record a live album and promote it thru the club circuit. Unlike alot of other bands, however, Antigone Rising seem to have the chops to put over this live effort, which is their most commercially accessible recording to date. While several tracks off "From the Ground Up" can be found on the 2003 release "Traveling Circus", the gritty studio album funded entirely by donations from the band's own fans, the production is much better on this newer offering. The band's singing and playing seems enhanced by the energy from the audience, a vibrant sound that was lacking from "Circus". At times the actual song arrangements seem uninspired - at other times, they are virtual reproductions of classic southern rock riffs, as evidenced by the lead-in track 'Hello', which sounds like something you've heard on dozens of Lynard Skynard songs. Mediocre tracks like 'Waiting,Watching...' seem to drag. Perhaps the blame for that are the oh-so-serious lyrics - plenty of female relationship angst here. But then songs like 'She Lived Here' and 'Don't Look Back' soar and provide the balance to the album with catchy hooks and upbeat tempos. On first listen, 'Rosita' is an odd choice for inclusion in this collection; but, I love the Spanish guitar intro, and it's become one of my favorite tunes on the cd. The last 2 tracks (not part of the live recording) seem added as an afterthought. The radio edit of 'Don't Look Back' doesn't make sense on a live record, especially when the radio stations are probably going to play the original live version anyway. 'Should've Been the One' should've been the one they didn't record. The band would be better off avoiding this sort of juvenile pop. Overall, "From the Ground Up" is quite good, with only a few misses. Hopefully their next studio cd will have the same energy as this live cd, with even better songs.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Restless Heart - Greatest Hits; Brand: Restless Heart; Review: Can anybody explain how "Til I Loved You" got left out of this compilation? Where is "Wheels"? I think "Mending Fences" would have made more sense than the inclusion of the last two songs. Save your money and download the tunes you want from elsewhere - this cd isn't worth the price, and is hardly all of Restless Heart's greatest hits.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Hits & Highways Ahead; Brand: Lee Roy Parnell; Review: Why, why do they bother with these greatest hit collections, if they aren't going to put ALL the hits on the record? No less than 4 of Lee Roy's best songs are missing from this compilation, specifically: "Power of Love"; "Givin' Water to a Drowning Man"; the collaboration with Brooks and Dunn, "Take These Chains from My Heart"; and my personal favorite, "You Can't Get There from Here". This cd is a waste of money without those other songs, in my opinion.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Tao of Healing; Brand: Li Xiang-Ting; Review: I purchased this cd for myself, but noticed my Basenji seemed to relax a little whenever I put the music on. I often play it for her in repeat mode when I am going to be out. She is definitely "zen'd out" by the time I return! I can best describe the music by saying that there are no loud instruments or uptempo arrangements to distract from the relaxation experience. The melody is soothing and uncomplicated, so it works well in many settings where a quiet mood is preferable (like doggie bath day). So do something nice for your pet...and yourself...and check out this cd. Alternately, I would recommend Dean Evenson's equally pleasant "Forest Rain" cd.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_CDs_and_Vinyl |

Title: Sony MDRNC100D Digital Noise Canceling Earbuds (Discontinued by Manufacturer); Brand: Sony; Review: These are OK and I like that they are not huge like Bose, but they just don't block noise as much as I expected. When I first tried them on I was at home and it seemed great to have all extraneous noise blocked. On an airplane, it is a different story. I am a parent and I am not knocking anyone but when trapped on a flight with children who are screaming with every ounce of their little bodies, it is unnerving and unsettling. These did not do much to deaden the sound on recent flights even with the little ones 5 or 6 rows away. I finally turned them up so loud my ears hurt from the music in an effort to block out the sound of the screaming. I had hoped to save myself a headache and be able to get a bit of sleep, but these just didn't cut it. The travel bag is absolutely useless. It is a pouch with a drawstring. The extra earbuds were lost on the first flight because the bag doesn't close tightly. There is no way to put the earphones in the bag without the wires getting all tangled. Come on Sony, you can do better than that for the price of these~ a little case or something other than a cheezy black bag the same color as the earbuds would make this a better purchase for those who need some noise blocking and a decent way to carry them.; Rating: 3.0/5.0

Title: MoKo Google Nexus 7 2013 FHD 2nd Gen Case; Brand: MoKo; Review: Not only arrived in record time, the case is cute as can be. So how does it protect my Nexus? Does a great job! I travel quite a bit, so I throw it in my carry on bag so I can listen to audible books on the plane. I usually tuck my boarding pass right behind the tablet in side the case. Much better access to all functions than the case I was talked into when I bought the tablet. At first, I was a little concerned that it wouldn't last very long, but I have had it for two months. It looks brand new. Keep those designs coming MoKo. Plain is just not my style. UPDATE: So sad to say that the magnets fell out recently and the plastic area that holds them in cracked. This was not due to the case being dropped, because it hasn't been dropped. It is pretty clear that the opening and closing of the cover stressed the plastic and it finally caused hairline cracks. I loved the way it held my Nexus in place. I had to replace this cover with another brand which is really too bad because this cover made all the functions immediately accessible.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: Logitech Illuminated Ultrathin Keyboard K740 with Laser-etched Backlit Keyboard and Soft-touch Palm Rest; Brand: Logitech; Review: OK, I am not a totally techy. I did not know that a keyboard actually can wear out. I didn't know that the reason I had to keep pounding on my old keyboard was because of some little do-dad behind the keys that wasn't making good contact. So, I wanted to find a keyboard where I didn't need steel tipped fingers to get my work done. This keyboard fits the bill. When I started typing, I could have weeped...This is what I had been looking for all theses years. I wanted to be sure I felt comfortable and committed to this new relationship before I said "I do" to this handsome thing...we have been together for a few months now...I am ready to commit. I am ready to say "you can stay" now....; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: PowerLix Enameled Aluminum Lemon Lime Orange Manual Squeezer - Durable Citrus; Brand: PowerLix; Review: Update: I really like this item. I handwashed it since receiving in late October but recently popped it in the dishwasher just once since it is supposed to be dishwasher safe. In the picture, it shows pitting & discoloration after 1 wash. Also, paint is chipping on the handle. Seller had been very prompt with communication, but I was told to call Amazon. That was my first clue that things might not be as easy as one would hope. Imagine my surprise as a loyal Amazon user that it took two phone calls & finally getting angry to get this resolved. Sorry, folks. This should not have been complicated. I offered to return it to the seller for analysis if they sent me postage. Having to spend so much time & frustration trying to get a resolution from Amazon & the seller with picture to support my issue with the device downgrades my review. For 40 years I have used the same lemon reamer. I misplaced it and bought this thinking I would use this temporarily until I could find something better. Well, this is the something better! Sturdy, very well made, easy to use and cleans up in the dishwasher too! We go through lemons for lemon water all day long, then use them on fish & other meals- literally go through about 3 dozen in a week. How I wish I had this great kitchen gadget years ago! It keeps the seeds out of the juice and you can just squeeze it right in a glass. A personal favorite - lemon and confectioners sugar on pancakes is divine...We just pass the sqeezer with a bowl of lemons. One tip- I cut off the tips of the lemons. Then it makes it even easier for the cup to keep the lemon in place as I squeeze the handle. Don't hesitate to buy this. It is so well made your kids may fight over it when you are gone:-); Rating: 2.0/5.0 | amazon_Electronics |

Title: Pacific Vortex! (Dirk Pitt, #1); Author: Clive Cussler; Genres: history, thriller, crime, biography, historical fiction, fiction, mystery; Review: Anyone who likes adventurous detective novels or James Bond would enjoy a Dirk Pitt novel.

Title: Wildfire (Firethorn, #2); Author: Sarah Micklem; Genres: history, young-adult, romance, paranormal, biography, historical fiction, fantasy, fiction; Review: Wherein reading Firethorn was a daunting, though nonetheless enjoyable read, Wildfire kept me enthralled because the arduous task of building such a lush and original world had already been achieved. But when she continues expanding that world to new lands exceedingly real and full in this installment, I could not look away. Firethorn's story is so compelling I anxiously await the next book to find out her fate.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Smittybilt 2722 Universal Trail Jack - 54"; Brand: Smittybilt; Review: This "farm jack" is not a "high-lift jack". The quality difference is huge and you get what you pay for. The color is not silver like the picture shows. I would say its more grey-ish green with a hint of mint. You get what you pay for.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Bestop 42640-01 HighRock 4x4 Under Seat Lock Box for 2007-2018 Wrangler JK, Driver side; Brand: Bestop; Review: Works and fits as expected. I highly recommend this mini-safe/lock box if you have a Jeep and need some place to lock up valuables.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: LED Light Bar YITAMOTOR 52 Inch Light Bar with Mounting Brackets Compatible for 07-15 Jeep Wrangler JK with Wiring; Brand: YITAMOTOR; Review: Decent price but the metal windshield brackets do not form to the windshield frame. There are huge gaps at the top of the brackets. That gap area is going to get filled with mud and debris plus it looks horrible. Sending back and hoping to find better windshield brackets.; Rating: 2.0/5.0

Given the interaction history of a user with hotels as follows:
Title: Signature Pattaya; City: Pattaya Chonburi Province; Review: As a rule in Pattaya you can find accommodation from independent hotels or from big chain. The last one are more expensive (at least double) and I do not like their cancellation policy (14 days advance), so when I found a cheap and fully flexible rate at this property I was quite happy. It's a Courtyard so no executive lounge and the pathway to the center is easy to navigate but a bit broken down (unpaved or uneven... so mind it in the dark hours). I confirm the location is walkable distance from Walking Street & pier as long you do not have to bring your diving equipments The staff was able to communicate in good English which is quite an achievement compared to other locations; of course heavily accented but me too after all.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Bangkok Marriott Hotel Sukhumvit; City: Bangkok; Review: As a Marriott Reward member I got upgraded to executive floor (ie free access to the Exec Lounge on the 40th floor), Lounge that was not present per statement of the Marriott call center operator. Room, bathroom size, and so on, see other reviews, no need to repeat. Only point to be aware is that even if the skytrain is very closeby, walking with a luggage/backpack can be tricky, stairs, steps, a busy street crossing and no clear space in the pathway. Rooftop bar:impressive view, so so cocktails.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: MOXY Munich Airport; City: Schwaig Oberding Upper Bavaria Bavaria; Review: Yesterday I landed in Munich and being a Marriott Reward member I went to the Moxy (you can not book it via the hotel desk at the airport) . Basically a "walk in". I was asked 77 € for a prepaid rate (well, not really so much of a "pre" anyway, I was there anyway), and being the end of a peak season due to a "messe" it was quite acceptable; I asked about breakfast and I was told that it was excluded and just an extra 10 € on top in case I decided to have it. I decided to accept the rate of 77€ and decided to skip the breakfast. Today at check out I saw the receipt, room rate 67 € plus breakfast at 10€. I told I had no breakfast and yesterday I was quoted 77 without breakfast. I was told I was wrong and anyway, I had to pay it because bundled in the rate. I ended up paying 77 € as initially quoted and agreed, leaving the hotel without a breakfast in my belly (as also planned) but with an expected feeling to have been fooled. No, not a good feeling at all. Please avoid repeating my error... up to you to decide if my error was staying at this property or being too cheap and having decided avoiding paying 10€ for breakfast.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Clarion Hotel Copenhagen Airport; City: Kastrup Taarnby Municipality Copenhagen Region Zealan; Review: Very convenient location, covered pathway to the airport building Very good noise insulation, very spacious room, nice executive lounge on top floor. Not so good points: 1) food/drink selection in the executive lounge a bit boring and quite limited 2) spa: free entry but all the rest has at an additional cost... even getting a bit of salt to self perform a simple scrub in the steaming room. I understand a 50 min minute massage can not be free but a few grams of salt should be provided for free.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Conrad Maldives Rangali Island; City: Rangali Island; Review: Not sure about how to rate it. The services, the staff, the location, the food is all FIVE stars (or more). It costs a lot but delivers even more. So, why did I provided a 3 and not a 5 ? For the look/maintenance. This property, target at luxury high spending guests, looks a shame Really, It's in dire need of renovation, and renovation already started but far from be done. If you look at the water-villas or spa or wooden piers you see a worn out, sun burn pile of woods who you think could be even too dry to provide a proper fire for a pizza oven. The thatch/boughs roofs are even in a worst status. And it's a pity, because once inside any building, they are magnificent, perfect status. Go there and enjoy your stay but be sure the renovation is completed, my gut feeling says not before 1Qtr 2017.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Crowne Plaza Hotel Philadelphia King of Prussia; City: King of Prussia Pennsylvania; Review: Very close to the King of Prussia mall and it's clean but the positive points end here. Walls are not properly noise proof and it can get too noisy in the room. Bathroom quite old style and getting hot water in the shower takes a few minutes Not enough space in cabinet for shirts, trousers and so on... so I had to leave them on the table. Not a lot of staff, so it can be time consuming to check in and so on. All of the above can explain their 50 USD fee for early departure.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Courtyard by Marriott Rome Central Park; City: Rome Lazio; Review: The interior reminded me of full service Marriott, so the room furniture and bathroom. Ie more Marriott classic (red, gold, brownish) than modern (ligth, glass, greenish) of the other Courtyard property I visited. Not a bad thing at all, but your expectations are raised a bit too much and the breakfast experience will disappoint you (not bad, but just normal). Staff very helpful. NOT in the city center but with a paid shuttle every hour to the Vatican can be considered doable as location.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Moscow Marriott Hotel Novy Arbat; City: Moscow Central Russia; Review: It's a mix and the balance was me is negative. Pro: Modern and big rooms Executive Lounge Cons: very noisy rooms room cleaning is quite poor staff often useless, ok, they speak a very good English but the provided info are laughable at the very best not just expensive, you are considered a walking ATM (see example below) no SPA or even a simple sauna which is must for the hotel of this category (I was offered direction to a banya for 12.000 Rub/hr when the top one in Moscow (Sanduny) is charging 2.800 Rub per 2 hours) my comment: no surpise the category award level in marriott rewards will decrease of a level for this hotel (i.e. not a lot of redemption request, i.e. expert guys are avoiding this property); Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Marriott Hotel Al Forsan Abu Dhabi; City: Abu Dhabi Emirate of Abu Dhabi; Review: I had a 22hours transit in Abu Dhabi, so going out from the airport was a good option. I arrived at the hotel and I got already a room at 7:30 am (I contacted Marriott reservation in advance for arranging an early check in), at 8 am I was swimming in the real big pool in the back of the hotel. It was already hot with 35°C. At 9 am I went for breakfast and big surprise. Huge, huge space and even bigger selection, Indian, Chinese, Arab, European and so on... and for example not just a muffin or two for the European side, but a full island with choices, you do not such a selection even in Europe ! And then it was easy to get a taxi and get downtown. Taxi are usually queuing there or they can be called and arrive in a few minutes. Room was nice, modern, and so on... but I just slept and I slept like a baby. I gave a try to the sauna (it seems like walking outside during the day...) Dinner at the same place that served breakfast in the morning and once again, surprised by the quality and choice. Ok, not cheap for sure but good value for the money. And after a quick nap back to airport, 10 minutes ride.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Radisson Blu Hotel Moscow Sheremetyevo Airport; City: Khimki Moscow Oblast Central Russia; Review: I have a very early flight and a busy evening, so I did a late check in (11:20pm) and an early check out (3:20 am). The queue* at the reception was so long and the number of staff so low that I had the feeling to have spent more time in that queue than in the bed. * not sure if a flight got cancelled or whatever but there were too many persons waiting to get a room. It's not a cheap property so really disappointed the management cut corners on staff number. That the taxi driver had no clue where to go and I was left at the E terminal so that I had to navigate the terminal with my luggage for sure was not helping me to be in a patient mode.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Conrad Istanbul Bosphorus; City: Istanbul; Review: Incredilble security due to Bangladesh president on site.It's a top level property but this fact can be bothersome. I was really impressed, nice structure, helpful staff, nice Executive lounge (entrance provided as HH Diamond), nice food, breakfast room with tons of choices. I have to point out a weak point ? Elevators.not a lot to manage the number of guests and a bit old style (like the ones you can find in a Fairfield or Garden Inn property along an US highway); Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Moscow Marriott Tverskaya Hotel; City: Moscow Central Russia; Review: Not so modern, very small sauna but a perfect base to navigate central Moscow and really walking distance to the Aeroexpress train to SVO airport. Inside, the big central hall spanning on multiple floors, and the aisles overlooking it gives a feeling to be in a motel, funny. The decoration, carpets and so on are of what I call "Marriott green* " period. Forget the latest glass and steel fashion. * green carpets with a splash of red, shiny light brown wooden furniture.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Radisson Blu Hotel Spa Istanbul Tuzla; City: Istanbul; Review: I had multiple stays at this property and I presume to have received an overall exposure. Location: very close to SAW airport and very far from the historical Istanbul downtown (Haga Sophia and Sultanahmet area). No one said it's close by but if you are interested to visit it, it's doable but it takes a long time. It's just a fact to mention at the very beginning. Once you know where it's located, it's a surprise. Nice structure, modern, clean, a bit stylish without excesses (no crystal chandlers or red velvet sofa). I personally like the usage of marble slabs like if it were drapes, quite intriguing to me. Reception: quite friendly and knowledgeable, of course do not expect miracles, you get the room you booked/paid for. Compared to Hilton or SPG/Marriott, the old Carlson Club, nowadays Radisson Rewards program provides no room upgrade, so as I said you get that you booked for. Quite fair I'd say. Elevators: really a lot of them around so never to be afraid of long waiting time (it's important if you are in a rush) Rooms: I never booked suites so I can not speak about them. Normal rooms or business rooms are quite size similar, a bit more differentiating on amenities and the presence of balcony/small terraces. Views: expect to overlook a motorway with all the related traffic/noise. Nothing dramatic, soundproof windows and heavy drapes do a good job and during the night the traffic (& noise) is a lot less. It can happen a room has a not perfect window any more but it's bearable. Restaurant: quite good food and quite open to help (no problem adding and removing ingredients from salads for example). The prices are in line with low-medium business trip, i.e. in line with European dinner budget of mid level employees. If you insist on drinks, the bill will increase a lot accordingly. Two suggestions: a) use the Radisson Rewards program to get a discount (from 5 to 20%) b) ensure you speak with a waiter/Maitre with proper knowledge of English language (it's not a given) SPA: basically half of the ground floor (or basement depending on how you number the floors) is devoted to the gym & spa, and it's free for hotel guest. Magnificent, really magnificent. It's a place to unwind and relax (even taking a nap on the warm red marble wave benches). Two saunas, one steaming room, ice fountain, water dispensers, one full Turkish bath, six Jacuzzi, two swimming pools and lot more. And multiple outdoor cold pool to recover from the sauna heating, well maintained and properly cleaned; if interested you can pay and get profession massages. Towels, bathrobes, linen cloth and slippers are provided free of charge. Only suggestion is to bring the shampoo and body wash from your room, they are of better quality IMHO.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Astoria; City: Turin Province of Turin Piedmont; Review: Visited when it was still an Ibis Style. Close to the train station and in 15 min walk you can reach the Egyptian museum (or the QC terme Torino) Very friendly and supportive staff. Pity is left the Accor Ibis brand.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Palau Hotel; City: Koror Koror Island; Review: Very nice and clean and new place. Staff is incredible helpful and kind, pity no early check in ... but if no rooms, no rooms. The free postcard, stamps and mailing is a nice touch and when it arrives homes, it provides a nice memory of the stay.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Park Plaza Berlin Kudamm; City: Berlin; Review: I selected this property based on 3 different reasons: location (easy access to U-bahn, S-Bahn and bus to TXL, and it's in the center) price (the basic rooms, facing the street are a real deal) Radisson Rewards program (with this stay I was able to get top up and reach an interesting award) The hotel is a 3 star property so expect something good , not fancy. Something is not perfect, like slow elevators (but if an hurry you can always use the stairs (at least walking down if no luggage)) or a missing printer from the PC corner. The staff is really helpful, for example if you need a paper voucher, due to the missing printer, you can mail to them and it will be printed for you. Nice and clean room, no complain. Someone told the rooms are really hot, true but you can switch off the AC and open the window for 5 min and the temperature will be perfectly cool. Due to budget constrain I decided to go for a street facing room; it's not really noisy, I slept like a baby.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Champion Men's Long-Sleeve Double-Dry Performance T-Shirt; Brand: ; Review: Very nice shirt. Don't really know how to review a shirt other than say it was exactly what I expected/wanted.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Champion Double Dry No Show Sock - 6 Pack (CH608); Brand: ; Review: Not sure how to determine how good socks are as i don't expect much. Maybe these could be better if they massaged my feet after a run, were magically filled with $100 bills in the morning, or if they taught me to speak Chinese through osmosis. But since that technology is not yet available in socks I'll rate these realistically. These are very comfortable, fit my size 12 feet very well and I've had no issues (slippage, tears, other serious sock conditions) with them to date, I've worked out in them several times and that's rough on poor socks and they've courageously muscled through. Which at the end of it is the point. Put them on your feet and don't think about them til you take them of your feet. These do that with comfort so I'm very happy with these socks.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Vivian & Vincent Soft Light Weight Elegant Solid Color Sheer Infinity Scarf; Brand: VIVIAN & VINCENT; Review: Great material, great design, it's not the warmest scarf but I didn't buy it for her to be warm. It's a nice scarf. Very pleased with it.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Samsonite Compact Auto Open Close, Black, One Size; Brand: Samsonite; Review: It's an umbrella that keeps me dry in the rain, opens and closes easily, and folds up to a compact size. So functionally it's outstanding. I'd assume if you're buying this particular umbrella you were buying it for the color and I will say it's not as light a blue as the above photo indicates.its not far off but I was expecting a lighter torqouise color.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Hotel Weisses Kreuz; City: Interlaken Bernese Oberland Canton of Bern; Review: If this other travellers. Good :- -------- 5 min easy walk from Interlaken west station You can actually travel or push your bags from station to hotel Or take bus from station to hotel ( one stop) /60 min may be. McDonald's is 100mts Good pizza or other food next door Indian restaurant next door Coops ( shopping for snacks ; water; beer; booze; fruits;milk ; bread in case anyone need for kids ) is Next door. Take bus from the front if the hotel for your transfer to Interlaken OST station for your onwards trip up to the mountains. So it's best possible location. Good rooms Clean hotel Nice view from rooms (we had one room with view ;others none. ) Big rooms( we had booked two family rooms) Free internet. Not so good or Bad. :- -------------------------- No kettle for tea or coffee. You have to go to common area or first floor for doing anything ( baby food ; tea or warm water etc etc). Okay breakfast ( not much options) Night can be warm so may need to open windows.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Novotel Paris Centre Tour Eiffel; City: Paris Ile de France; Review: We had booked ourselves two rooms for three night (months in advance ; pre paid) despite clear request for one room with extra bed and another with two bed, rooms offered was on different floor; which we denied to take , so had to wait for another two hours ( two adult ,two old parents , one 5 yrs kid) for rooms in the same floor. It's okay with us to wait as we must have room in same floor as kids and parents needed our support to move around. Rooms are good; view is excellent; good malls and shopping around. Nice view. In three days the extra bed couldn't be setup by room service, nor did we care was room was too small anyway and with extra sofa cum bed setup, there would HV any space for our luggage or simple moving around. Our one room AC wasn't working ( we thought it was due to sun ) but had to call engineer midnight as we could not sleep. Shower wasn't working with speed it should be ( we managed with slow speed of water flow ) ( doesn't matter to us ; we managed somehow as complain will only waste more of our time ). Worst room service. They somehow have some kind off policy to keep one two coffee , only two sugar & milk refill in your room. Refills don't come, soaps or body wash aren't refills in three days ( not matter to us as we have carried our stuff ). They took our brush away from one room on second day and despite hesitations we have to call reception middle of night ( as room service was closed post 11). They give a new one after two retry ( first came razors ). Worst rating is due to fact that 1.. breakfast has been just like formality, spread was even better in Novotel Zurich airport mess. They had better service actually despite a pure business hotel. 2... I had to checkout very early morning /midnight as I have an early morning flight, hence I have paid city tax in advance( during check in) so that I can do quick check-out ( lucky that I kept the receipts of that ). During morning check out I was again asked to pay 30 euro for city tax. I told them that I have already paid , why should I pay again and they must check their system. They refuse to do that or could not find it in system or the guy wasn't trained on that ; so I had to spend 20 min opening all my bag , just to pulled that receipt out to provide evidence that I have paid it. How bad it can be that hotel of this statue can't keep there system updated or proper accounting entries ? I had to pay extra 30 euro had I missed our keeping that receipt safe with me. I have asked for a complain book or complain numbers which they refuses.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Novotel Zurich Airport Messe; City: Opfikon Zurich; Review: Our experience if that help We stayed for two night , two rooms. Four adult and one kid. Good:- Clean room Big toilets Good breakfast Next to tram line Next to airport. Small kids play area. Free internet. Not so good :- Far from Zurich HB STATION ;it will take minimum 25min to reach this using tram no 10 so if you have your transfers and other site seeing ; you have to travel min 30 min one side. Nothing nearby ; for anything and everything you have to travel to other stations via tram etc. No options for food or McDonald's or coops. Shopping areas or mall are far ( minimum 15min) All your transfers are around Zurich HB station ( except airport or flights); Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Bristol; City: Zermatt Canton of Valais Swiss Alps; Review: We have booked two rooms and visited this hotel in late June. Sharing our experience if that help fellow travellers. Good:- They pick you up from Zermat station. It's 5 min easy walk otherwise. From our rooms (amazing view of Matterhorn mountain ranges) and surrounding area. Kids area; reading area. You can have a good walk around the hotel ( otherwise also it's a good walk all around). Good breakfast ( best we had in our trip). You have to make your own PAN cakes , omelette etc ( at least they provide an option). Internet wifi is good. TV do provide you more than few options to watch. Good size room ( as per European standard ). Bad :- None actually.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Desert Springs Resort; City: Sam Jaisalmer District Rajasthan; Review: The place is situated far away and is the extreme end amongst all the desert safaris , which enhances the view and feel of the place. The function in the evening was quite entertaining however i felt it was too loud with lot of lights , which kind of spoilt the beauty and the serenity of the place for me. Awesome performance however by #queenHarish. However after the function all lights go out immediately and you can spend the rest of the night star gazing... we woke up multiple times in the night to see the changing beauty of the place. Coming back to the resort the service and the food and the spread was just awesome.Despite the tough conditions of a desert the service and staff was one of the best when you compare it with the city hotels. March heat of 42degree and above didn't dump the quality of service or offering , what else one need. A must come back place for sure during winters.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Jabra Drive Bluetooth In-Car Speakerphone (U.S. Retail Packaging); Brand: Jabra; Review: Not worth the money. It works but leaves a lot to be desired. I drive an 07 Acura TL that comes with factory Bluetooth. Well it stopped working and as I searched the internet I came to realize this happens alot with Acura's after about 4 years. Acura wants around $600 to replace it which is just too high. I can buy the module on line for about $200 and replace it myself which is not very hard but $200 is still too high so I figure I'd try the Jabra Drive for about $50. It arrive in about 3-4 days. At first I had trouble pairing my phone. For some reason my phone didn't see the device. Finally got it to work. It does go through the stereo speakers. I thought it did. The small speaker is not easy to hear from even when the volume is turned all the way up. Forget putting the windows down. Answering a call is simple if they person calls you and then you answer but if you are already on the phone and try to switch to the bluetooth it wouldn't work for me. Same problem when calling people. Some times it would work sometimes it wouldn't. I've had it for maybe a month or so and don't even use it anymore. I may have to buy the oem bluetooth module because it is a nice feature when driving. I wouuld say skip this item and buy something better.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: JVC KW-AV60BT Car DVD Player - 6.1" LCD Display - 80 W RMS - iPod/iPhone Compatible; Brand: JVC; Review: This is decent but doesn't really perform the way I expected. I personally installed this in my 2012 MX-5. Installation was not too bad but a little confusing since I purchased a vehicle specific harness, iphone cable, and steering wheel control cable. Lots of wires everywhere. I bought this unit for its many features like blue tooth, iphone control, nav through iphone. Blue tooth sucks. The caller can not hear me and hangs up. Mic is right near the steering wheel. Motion X GPS drive works through the iphone but on the 6" display looks washed out and hard to see. Iphone control works well but when you plug the phone in it immediately goes to your playlist on the phone. This should be disabled. The screen resolution is small and I still haven't been able to figure out if I can inscrease the size. Also the screen is too busy. It has too many buttons. It does have a removable face but I think this may invite someone stealing it if I leave my convertible down. Luckily the windows are tinted and when the unit is off is hard to see. It's not a bad unit and maybe I expect too much. It does sound better than stock once I upgraded the speakers and added and amp.; Rating: 3.0/5.0

Title: The Mulligan; Author: Visit Amazon's Nathan Jorgenson Page; Review: This is a contemporary tale of a man who just gets fed up with his life and takes off to find what he's missed. It takes a special character to give up a successful business and cast off a beautiful wife; but wait a minute... what if the business is something you've always hated and the wife is a mercenary life sucking bitch? Joe (the central character) is the kind of guy I would love to have a drink with. He is smart, brave and fearless as he moves past his old life and into his future. I would have given this story a fifth star but I was disappointed in the ending.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: Sheppard of the Argonne: Alternative History Naval Battles of WWII; Author: Visit Amazon's G. William Weatherly Page; Review: You don't have to be a navy man (oops or woman!) to like this book. You don't even need to have a handle on how WWII actually went. This is a page turner. As an author myself (look at "Raghats! Not just any 'ol sea story", and "The Liberty Launch The stupid shall be punished". Right here on Amazon.com) I know what I like about a story. It's in the characters and George's skipper is a great one. He's the kind of skipper that you'd want to have for your boss, especially when the chips are down. The story is broad in scope and fast moving. In some ways it's a thriller but in fact it's a love story, the love of a Captain for his ship and his ship for her Captain.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Pillars of the Earth; Author: Visit Amazon's Ken Follett Page; Review: Follett is one of my favorites (top actually, after P.G. Wodehouse and me (See "Raghats!" and "The Liberty Launch" on Amazon.com) and I particularly enjoy the breadth of the story and the depths of his characters. To me his heroes are the kind of people you want to buy a drink for and his villains are the kind of contemptible swine you wouldn't mind backing over in the parking lot. Twice. Follett weaves a complex plot masterfully and this volume is a very worthy end to an historic trilogy no matter what your politics are.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: The Girl on the Train; Author: Visit Amazon's Paula Hawkins Page; Review: I recommend this story. I'm not usually into murder mysteries especially those that involve an ex-spouse so this was new and I must say unnerving. The story was well crafted and the alternating voices of the three women involved was novel. I don't usually like women authors but I sure liked this one.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: A Dangerous Fortune; Author: Visit Amazon's Ken Follett Page; Review: I kind of missed this book when it originally came out and I'm glad I didn't. Once again Follett's characters make the story good. You wanna take the good guys to lunch and punch the bad ones in the face. A good read.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Code Talker: A Novel About the Navajo Marines of World War Two; Author: Visit Amazon's Joseph Bruchac Page; Review: My grandson was very enthusiastic about this book.

Title: Margaret Thatcher: At Her Zenith: In London, Washington and Moscow; Author: Charles Moore; Review: A great book about a formidable lady. I particularly like the way the author footnoted his source material and with the touch feature of Kindle it is child's play moving back and forth. I recommend this book to anyone who is currently paying any attention to the Hilldabeast / Bernie debates. This book is proof that more government and more socialist dogma is bad for the nation.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Merriam-Webster's Pocket Geographical Dictionary (Pocket Reference Library); Author: Merriam-Webster; Review: A very nice little dictionary. Handy and useful. It's probably a good idea to buy some 3x reader lenses though if you are over 40.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Gods of Guilt (A Lincoln Lawyer Novel); Author: Visit Amazon's Michael Connelly Page; Review: Mickey Haller is always a great read. As an author myself (See my "Liberty Series" The Liberty Launch, Aegean Liberty and Liberty in the Kasbah on Amazon.com) I enjoy good characters and how they are used in the plot of a good story. I also like how Connelly twists things up but uses a feel-good ending to the story.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Litigators; Author: Visit Amazon's John Grisham Page; Review: Grisham does his characters like I like to do mine. (See my "Liberty Series" on Amazon.com in kindle or paperback). He paints a good guy character like he's a guy you wanna buy a drink for at your neighborhood bar. The bad guys (and snooty bitch lawyers), he paints like they have warts growing out of their ears. As always his story moves along quickly with twists and turns and some spine-tingling action. If you're not a Grisham fan already you will be one when you finish The Litigators. I think even lawyers will enjoy this book.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Nimitz; Author: Visit Amazon's E. B. Potter Page; Review: I've always enjoyed Potter's writing and this one is one of his best. His portrait of Admiral Nimitz doesn't just cover the great ships, aircraft and US Marines part of the war, it covers the personal side of it too. I enjoyed his daughter's recollection of the events she observed in Washington D.S. on the day the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. The bit about the Admiral's dog pissing on the lawn of the Japanese Embassy while the staff fed their papers to a bonfire in the yard nearby was priceless. I may be a bit prejudiced (as a retired Navy man) but this is a great story of the war.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Teddy Suhren, Ace of Aces: Memoirs of a U-Boat Rebel; Author: Visit Amazon's Teddy Suhren Page; Review: I really enjoyed this book and as a retired US Navy submariner I have a deep appreciation for the danger this U-boat ace went through to produce the incredible sinking results he and his men achieved. I would have rated this a 5 star read but I think the translation from the original German to English was not quite up to snuff in several areas and that made the story a little harder to read. I enjoyed it though anyway. In my opinion it wasn't quite as well told as Herbert Werner's "Iron Coffins", a book about the same subject released in 1967, but quite a story anyway.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Autobiography of a Seaman; Author: Admiral Lord Cochrane; Review: C'mon people it's COCHRANE! How could a book written by the king of the King's swashbuklin' sea dogs NOT grab your attention from start to finish? I enjoyed his Lordship's descriptions of his famous engagements and particularly loved his description of the graft and corruption that rotted the Royal Navy from within. And to think, those jerks in the Admiralty and the House of Commons couldn't find a few crummy pounds to endow Lady Hamilton, but they could surely pack the pork on for some dippy Peer's sweetie!; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: The Watsons Go to Birmingham - 1963; Author: Visit Amazon's Christopher Paul Curtis Page; Review: My grandson was assigned this book to read in his fifth grade work. He told me that he thought it was a well-told story and that the characters were very realistic. He perceived quickly that it was a story about civil rights and he asked me if I knew anything about 1963. We had a good discussion and he was very impressed when he learned that two important things had happened in the summer of 1963 in addition to the Birmingham church bombing. One of course was my graduation from high school and the second was Dr. King's famous speech on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Tuck Everlasting (HRW Library); Author: RINEHART AND WINSTON HOLT; Review: My grandson really liked this book. He was required to read it for school but he told me he liked the story, the characters and everything. He also told me that he would have downloaded the book even if it weren't required reading!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World [Paperback] [Jan 01, 2016] Newport, Cal; Author: Visit Amazon's Cal Newport Page; Review: This book was assigned reading at my wife's company. She finished it in about five hours and reports that it was only because I kept nudging her awake that she could finish it.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Killing The Rising Sun: How America Vanquished World War II Japan (Wheeler Publishing Large Print Book Series); Author: Visit Amazon's Bill O'Reilly Page; Review: For people who are not familiar with the Pacific part of WWII a caution. Mr. O'Reilly has finished one of his formula books that conveniently skips from event to event, uses a few very memorable characters and quickly gets the reader to the end of the tale. Unfortunately he hasn't covered 90% of the war. There is no mention of any of the Navy Medal of Honor winners at al,l and battles like; Midway, Coral Sea, Iron Bottom Sound aren't even touched upon. I read it to the end though just to count the number of times he mentioned Fleet Admiral Nimitz (the author of the victory over Japan) and compare that number to others he talked about. Amazingly he mentioned his own mother an equal number to times. If you are thinking O'Reilly's book is going to teach you the story of the Pacific war think again. The hard copy cover price of $30 is $27 too much.; Rating: 2.0/5.0

Title: 10,000 Days of Thunder: A History of the Vietnam War; Author: Visit Amazon's Philip Caputo Page; Review: My grandson read this book as a part of his summer reading program. Thank goodness that I, a member of the generation that fought in that war, was available and able to tell him the REAL story of the war. The problem with this book is that it was written specifically to make the war "understandable" for young readers. Because the author chose that way to tell the story, he intentionally left out facts and events in his narrative that deprive young readers of the "real" truth. Anyone who reads this book should be cautioned to look more deeply into the events leading up to the war, and look for accounts written by servicemen who served there. As evidence of this I submit that anyone reading this book will not be able to understand why Senator John Kerry was "swiftboated", which was a significant contributor to his loss in his bid for the Presidency. Similarly, young moviegoers will not understand why no Vietnam veteran is "Fonda", "Hanoi Jane" Fonda.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Fatally Bound - A gripping serial killer thriller (McRyan Mystery Thriller Series Book) (McRyan Mystery Series Book 5); Author: Visit Amazon's Roger Stelljes Page; Review: I had never read Stelljes before, but I will now!

On Kindle.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_books |
Given the interaction history of a user with hotels as follows:
Title: Grand Hotel Tettuccio; City: Montecatini Terme Province of Pistoia Tuscany; Review: The third floor room must have been made for servant's quarters. It was so small that we couldn't find a place for our two pieces of luggage. We had to resort to using the chairs. The air conditioning was non existent. The windows didn't lock and we had to use the shutters to let in some air to breathe. The very loud outside music continued late into the night, obviously disturbing our sleep. The breakfast was adequate, but the dinner was a barely edible "turkey roll" and canned peas. I thought I was back in my high school cafeteria.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Carlton on the Grand Canal; City: Venice Veneto; Review: This hotel is located right in the heart of the action, and across the canal from the railroad station. They say it's easy to get lost in Venice. With the railroad station as a landmark, it was easy to find our way back to the hotel. By Globus tour standards, this was a nice old fasioned hotel, that still used real door keys. The desk recommended that we return them each time we left the hotel. Our room was fine and the air conditioning was marginally effective. The bed had a firm mattress, which made for a decent sleep. The breakfast was a satisfactory buffet.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Courtyard Tampa Brandon; City: Tampa Florida; Review: This was our third choice for a hotel in the area, but we really were lucky! We flew intoTampa [ on short notice] to attend a relative's funeral and the first two hotels that were recommended to us, were fully booked. This hotel looked good on TRIP ADVISOR, so we booked it for one night. We arrived 3 hours before check-in time, but IVAN PIA went out of his way to accomodate us. He went up the the third floor and found a room with a king bed for us. He and the rest of the service staff were very accommodating for the rest of our visit . He also corrected our room bill to our satisfaction.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Seven Stars Resort Spa; City: Grace Bay Providenciales Turks and Caicos; Review: We recently returned from a wonderful week at Seven Stars. You can't beat the friendly staff, beautiful rooms, exquisite grounds, pool and beach. We had a more than adequate junior suite with a magnificent oceanfront view. The free buffet breakfast was quite good, but don't expect made to order omlettes for that price. We stayed by the pool, which had many lounges for those who wanted to sun bathe or stay in the shade. We bought food at the nearby IGA grocery, and stocked the refrigerator with our food for our week's worth of lunches. This saves many $$$, as restaurants are very costly on the island. We did splurge on dinners each night, which cost between $110 and $170 for two, without liquor. We really appreciated ALDEN DURHAM, ot the Guest Relations Team, who mapped out suggested restaurant for each night of our vacation, including directions and dress code. The only negatives don't involve Seven Stars: The greeter at the airport jammed too many people with luggage into one van going to the hotel. Since it was a fixed price per person another cab should have been called. The tap water in Provo was awful. The hotel supplies 2 bottles of water each day a nice plus. Order bottled water at restaurants. The weather in mid december was not the best. Half the days were partially sunny and the other half were cloudy and windy. A storm from the north washed up a large amount of seaweed each day, which spoiled the look of the beach. The hotel staff did their best to haul off or bury much of the seaweed.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Seven Stars Resort Spa; City: Grace Bay Providenciales Turks and Caicos; Review: This is our second mid-December visit. It did not disappoint. In additions to the better weather on this visit, here are the pluses: Beautiful and well maintained property. Magnificent ocean-view penthouse. Excellent service by everyone. Delicious free buffet breakfast, especially the custom-made omelets. large heated salt-water pool. Free cabanas and non-motorized beach water activities. Good restaurants on premises and nearby, The only minor fly in the ointment was that our room wasn't ready until the actual check-in time, close to 3 PM. Since we arrived before noon, we ate lunch at the poolside restaurant, THE DECK. The staff was nice enough to set up a large fan by us, as we were still wearing our winter clothes, Our penthouse room was worth the wait.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Just back from our holiday after two fantasic weeks at the Bliss i have to say we had one of our best holidays yet.The manager and his staff were better by far than any other hotel we have stayed in over the years.We had a suite on the fourth floor for a week then moved to a pool suite for our second week.

Title: Assassin's Apprentice (Farseer Trilogy, #1); Author: Robin Hobb; Genres: paranormal, fantasy, fiction; Review: The poor bastard. How much punishment can one person take. If he was to be trapped in the body of his Wit-dog he would probably look like this - 'an old dog gone gray about the muzzle and it was horribly crippled in its hindquarters and its head was askew someway on its body and it moved grotesquely. An arthritic and illjoined thing that crabbed sideways and sniffed at the floor to pick up the man's scent and then raised its head and nudged the air with its nose and tried to sort him from the shadows with its milky half blind eyes.It was wet and wretched and so scarred and broken that it might have been patched up out of parts of dogs by demented vivisectionists. It stood and then it shook itself in its grotesque fashion and hobbled moaning to the far corner of the room.' From Cormac Mccarthys 'The Crossing'(Another tale about a illfated boy and his wolf). Fortunately they can use magic in the Six Dutchies and make him young and strong again so he can take more beatings for the readers pleasure. Magic, what a cop out. None the less a finely crafted yarn. I felt Fitzs rejection and loneliness, the frustrations of his illfated love and the righteousness of his vengeful rage.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Even my landlady choked on her earl gray while sampling a story over her morning egg. What variety of characters! Smelly vengeful angels, immigrant forest spirits, gods and devils, cowards and drunks. Everyone of them alive in my mind.

Title: The Call of the Wild; Author: Jack London; Genres: history, young-adult, children, paranormal, biography, historical fiction, fantasy, fiction; Review: The day I finished reading this book I had a close call with my imagination. I decided to try and get out of school, so I took quick shallow breaths causing myself to hyperventilate on purpose. The aim was to allow mum to see that I was dizzy and pale and thus be allowed to stay at home, but I went over the top and fainted before I reached her in the kitchen. I blacked out and crashed face first to the floor, The moment my mouth contacted with the ground salty nasal pain accompanied the chipping of teeth and my inner vision became full of the nashing of wolves teeth and vicious dogs growling. Its hard to describe the sudden terror I felt. The impact of the ground had cracked open my fresh imaginings from the book so that they filled my mind. A book worth reading.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Legend (The Drenai Saga, #1); Author: David Gemmell; Genres: history, paranormal, biography, historical fiction, fantasy, fiction; Review: I read this about 11 or 12 years ago and was deeply influenced by the heroic qualities of the story. The battles are savagely realistic and struck a chord. The main protagonist Rek is one of my favourite fantasy characters, more so since I discovered from an interview online that David Gemmel fashioned Rek from his own frailties. "Rek was based on me - frightened of the dark, not wanting to get involved in any sort of violence. I grew up in a very violent area. I've got something like a hundred-twenty stitches on my body from fighting as a kid. I've been hit with broken bottles, had knives run down my fingers, I've got wounds and scars. Rek was also a natural poseur. He was more interested in whether his cloak was draped over his saddle correctly than getting involved in any problems. That was me." All David Gemmels novels are remarkable for their authentic fight scenes. This is not suprising in light of Gemmels childhood. "Like Rek, when I was young I was forced into violent situations. My father made me box. He took me to a club and said, 'There you go. Train'. I learned to fight, but I never liked or enjoyed it. Although actually I was rather good because I've got ape arms - a reach two inches longer than Mohammed Ah. Like Rek, I loathe violence, would do anything to get away from it. I was brought up by my mother until the age of six,then a man came into my family who was very strong, powerful, direct. He didn't force me into anything, except the boxing. All he said was 'Son, you've got to learn that a fist in the mouth isn't as bad as hiding behind walls or running away'." Interesting to note that his step father the man mentioned above was the basis for the character Druss "He's a natural man of action, and has a direct way of dealing with problems. He's got hands like bananas, his signet ring could go over my thumb. A real West London strong man. All my characters are real people dealing with unusual situations" There in lies the appeal of so many of Gemmels books, characters with many faults and weaknesses that choose to make a stand. I have since come across quite a few people who were inspired by his stories to implement such standards of courage in their own lives. This pleased me because at the time I read his novels I also tried to be a hero, although more often then not I ended up looking a fool. But at least I tried and I hope I will continue to do so. Gemmell himself says: 'The hero is just about the only worthwhile member of society. I'm not talking here about axe wielding warriors, but about people who take the tough path in life. The man [or woman:] who witnesses an injustice and fights against it. The person who doesn't say: "Well, there's nothing I can do about it." The carers who sacrifice; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Kingdom Of Fear; Author: Hunter S. Thompson; Genres: history, comics, graphic, biography, historical fiction, non-fiction, fiction; Review: After reading this shitty book one can gather some insight into the mental processes that lead to him taking his life inside his 'fortified compound' in 2005. The lies and delusions that had kept him going in his youth became empty gin bottles, the wild memories nothing but faint grog fumes. Both were transparent and yet he still couldn't see through to the truth. He was still looking outwards for the good times with his guns, motorbike and his blond bedmate thinking that these distractions could provide him with happiness the fullness of life. But old age caught up and he couldnt face reality. The energy and tottering righteousness that had created such explosively savage earlier missives is totally absent from this book. I was dissapointed by this book.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: The Elfstones of Shannara (The Original Shannara Trilogy, #2); Author: Terry Brooks; Genres: young-adult, paranormal, fantasy, romance, fiction; Review: It has been a long time since I read this book, but I need only to look at the cover and a wave of excitement will wash over me. A great book for young fantasy readers.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Homunculus; Author: Hugh Paxton; Genres: paranormal, fantasy, fiction; Review: This book is disgusting and probably the most politically incorrect book that I have ever read.

Title: The Devil And James Mc Auley; Author: Cassandra Pybus; Genres: history, biography, historical fiction; Review: This biography was written with an agenda, with the clear aim of sullying the memory and works of James McAuley. For a comprehensive review of this book see below. [url]... An excerpt of the review by Peter Coleman. 'It is the book's basic theme that stretches the limits of triviality. McAuley was a committed opponent of communism. Therefore he must have been sick in the head. This is because he repressed his sexuality, especially his homosexuality, or displaced in on to the Devil. (Hence the book's title.) It explains all his peculiarities, from his nightmares to his politics. You mount this case against McAuley by following a few simple rules. First, forget about Stalin's and Mao's killing of millions or their murderous persecution of writers and artists.Instead, change the subject to sex. Second, collect gossip from rivals, enemies, old friends. Call it oral history and quote it freely, no matter how silly, mean or plain wrong it may be. An improbable quotation may help. For example, when advising us of an alleged `sexual encounter' between McAuley and Amy Witting 60 years ago, Pybus tells us that McAuley humiliated Witting in a poem published `for all to read' in Hermes. I do not recognise the words of the poem as quoted and am certain that no such poem exists. (It assuredly never appeared in Hermes.) Third, if evidence is lacking for any calumny, just say it `possibly' or `presumably' or `probably' or `doubtless' or `may have been' or `must have been' this or that. If hearsay, add: `Maybe this anecdote is true'. If utterly unbelievable, call it a `story' and stick in a note saying you are unable to confirm or deny it. Fourth, spray the text with such adjectives as "vicious", "strident:", "arrogant", "tainted", "impudent" and "fanatical". If religion rears its ugly head, have McAuley "grovelling". Fifth, ignore his major work, his heart-rending poetry, unless you can twist it into evidence for the prosecution. It helps if, like Pybus, you have no feel for poetry, poetics or literary history.''; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: A Dance with Dragons (A Song of Ice and Fire, #5); Author: George R.R. Martin; Genres: history, paranormal, biography, historical fiction, fantasy, fiction; Review: This is the work of a diseased mind, and unfortunately it says something about my own mental state that I have continued reading to the fifth book. Despite enjoying some aspects of the series, I am left feeling let down or even soiled by the way Martin degrades, corrupts and murders his noblest characters. He is cynical and merciless in the way he moves the plot along on the destruction of lives. The ugly characters he makes uglier, his noble characters he knifes, beheads and burns to death in dragon fire. The sex scenes rarely involve love, most are rutting or rape. In his longwinded story Martin has attempted to create a realistic world by making the characters as vicious as dogs and the fate they must face even uglier than a dwarf without a nose. But this pessimism actually lessons the realism. What he does to Arya Stark is truly heartbreaking. She is the most innocent character of all, and also the one he corrupts most thoroughly. I have felt uneasy for quite some time with the way her story has unravelled. But the most suspect aspect of the entire series is his description and use of the various Martin-made religions. The way he cuts and pastes aspects of Christianity, Buddhism and other real world religions so he can stitch them together with very little understanding of any of them or of the human heart, robs this supposedly mysterious world of any real mystery. In doing so he creates a world that despite being populated by dragons, zombies, ice wraiths, and so on, is without any real sense of wonder. It also betrays his anti-humanistic and anti-religious outlook on life. Martin's world view informs his work so thoroughly and is the reason that the series is so without hope. Martin has previously spoken of his great regard for the works of J.R.R Tolkien. "Although I differ from Tolkien in important ways, I'm second to no one in my respect for him. If you look at Lord of the Rings, it begins with a tight focus and all the characters are together. Then by end of the first book the Fellowship splits up and they have different adventures. I did the same thing. Everybody is at Winterfell in the beginning except for Dany, then they split up into groups, and ultimately those split up too. The intent was to fan out, then curve and come back together. Finding the point where that turn begins has been one of the issues I've wrestled with." Perhaps the reason he has struggled to bring them back together is because he doesn't see any divine order or reason in the universe and thus the bleak merciless cosmos could not in his reasoning allow for a hopeful ending. Tolkien's Middle Earth in comparison is a world populated by people without religion and yet as he says himself, "The Lord of the Rings is of course a fundamentally religious and Catholic work; unconsciously so at first, but consciously in the revision." I believe that Tolkien's fantastical myth holds; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: The White People; Author: Arthur Machen; Genres: paranormal, children, fantasy, fiction; Review: Arthur Machens the White People allows us a peek into an otherworld that at once revolts and captivates. The greater part of the story is told from the perspective of a young girl as she records her exploration of a forbidden landscape. She has come into esoteric knowledge that allows her to enter into an enchanted dimension that is both full of wonder and dread. The world that she traverses as it is described so simply and powerfully by Machen held me spellbound, and stayed with me long after I had finished. Many people will read into his landscape and attach Freudian meanings, but I dismiss such fantasies, they are less real then the ancient folklores that fired Machens imagination. I also grew up in a countryside that is ancient and littered with grotesque and beautiful rock formations. As a child I remember the spiritual thrill of exploring sites that were instilled with a sacred atmosphere. This feeling could have been born from my own imagination but perhaps it was also an intuitive knowledge that there is more to the ancient places of this earth then just the beauty of rock and vegetation worn and grown in strange forms. I still feel a sense of foreboding when I approach certain places of significance in the Australian bush. The landscape of the White People however is not a place that I would dare enter. It is not sacred it is profane, and yet still provokes wonder. Arthur Machen puts forward the idea that true evil is not just going against the moral law as laid down in sacred scriptures, he puts forward the idea that real evil is when one manages to turn what is natural inside out, to do magic that defiles the natural way of things, that undoes part of Gods creation. The seemingly innocent girl gains access to another spiritual plane through forbidden means, although her actions may appear harmless and what she finds may seem quite alluring to many in this day and age, were the occult has captured peoples imagination. None the less Machen shows it for what it really is; a great evil. In many ways this goes along with the Bible whereby occultism is one of many kinds of actions or mental processes that separates a person from God, and thus considered a sin, Machens characters however takes it one step further in describing it as the greatest form of evil. Well from my point of view there is no doubt that her actions were an abomination. Finally a note on the White People; They are fairy like beings that are rarely mentioned and are not to be viewed with the present day debased idea of fairies being small people with wings and magic wands. They are so much of the 'other' that it is easy to see why some people in the old days referred to their kind as 'the strangers.'; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | goodreads |

Title: The Kill Order (Maze Runner, #0.5); Author: James Dashner; Genres: young-adult, thriller, crime, paranormal, fiction, fantasy, mystery; Review: I don't even understand the purpose of having this book. "Book #4"... It has NONE of the original cast members. Thomas doesn't appear once, neither do any of the other characters we had grown attached to in the series. NOT ONCE. In the beginning I was honestly like, "wtf?? who are these people?! I don't care about these people...I don't wanna know who they are....where is Thomas and the glader?!...they'll probably show up later..I have to just grudge through this part."

Title: Red Queen (Red Queen, #1); Author: Victoria Aveyard; Genres: young-adult, paranormal, fantasy, romance, fiction; Review: So, I was debating whether I should give this book a three or four star. I keep going back and forth and still am. Initially I really liked it, but I thought the main character was a boy xD, so when I found out she was a girl (duuuh- the author is female duh) I was excited! She's a pickpocket! Love it. So anyway I don't want to ramble about every detail or give out spoilers- throughout the entire middle section of the book...I was kinda just trying to get to the interesting part :/ sorry to say. I mean Victoria Aveyard did a good job! She did a good job on her story, and characters and the creation of her world but the biggest thing that kept me from enjoying nearly the entire book was the fact that I knew what the biggest twist was, it's not hard to figure out with the little hints that were dropped. I held little hope but I knew- I just knew and so I wanted to get on with the story. Found myself saying "yes yes..now what happens next? On with it..." Also, I can't b***** about this because this is a YA and it's to be expected but er God...the corny romance scenes. Baaaaaaarrrfff, hate em xD I know, I know it's YA- it's mandatory in YA. My thoughts, "oh god -baarrrfffff- oh god, your dumb just get on with it! Baaarff." I guess I wish I was more encaptured throughout the story, but she did I fine job- I wasn't hoping I could just throw down the book. Now the ending though- the ending! I didn't expect to think much of the ending since I knew the biggest twist but the ending had so much action!!! I loved it xDD I was like "whaaat?! >.>" "whaaatt?!<.<" "whaaaaat?! XD XD" so in the end, I closed the book smiling, and so I guess because of that and the fact that I kinda dig the main character I decided on the four star vs the three. I suppose three stars are for when you enjoy it a little less than I did. 3.8 stars...3.9? Something like that :); Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children (Miss Peregrine’s Peculiar Children, #1); Author: Ransom Riggs; Genres: history, young-adult, romance, thriller, children, crime, paranormal, biography, historical fiction, fiction, fantasy, mystery; Review: This isn't a bad book in my opinion, it's just a little under my age. I didn't pay attention to what section this books falls under, but it's likely filed under the "teen" section. (I'm 25 yrs old). I definately think its for young adults. I had a few issues, I noticed a number of inconsistencies throughout the novel which irked me, but I'm the type to try to look over little annoyances like that. In the beginning I felt like it was an okay read but as I progressed- maybe 3/4 into it, I admit I got quite excited. Found myself rooting or praising a character, or getting annoyed/frustrated. (I'm trying not to put spoilers, so sorry if my review isn't much help) I will be reading the next two books. It's interesting enough that I'll finish the series seeing as there's only 2 more. If it was a longer series (like 5 total books I wouldn't feel it's worth it). Oh and the pictures annoyed me a bit. Seemed kind of unnecessary and at times far differed from what I imagined on my own.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Big Fish; Author: Daniel Wallace; Genres: young-adult, paranormal, fantasy, romance, fiction; Review: ** spoiler alert ** Okay, So in the beginning I was quite in love with this book and the main character! I was all starry-eyed over the Daniel Wallace's fanciful story-telling and all the amazing, virtuous qualities the main character possessed. It was seriously a never-ending laundry list of upstanding qualities. However, as the book progressing you see more and more how human and flawed he is. It seems he was as deeply flawed as he was virtuous. Or maybe he was just human. I also went through my fair share of emotions! I would get irritated, angry, disappointed with the mistakes he would make and the ways he was flawed. I would grow a bit bored at very short-lived points only because his fanciful story-telling would grow mundane. But I know Wallace did this on purpose to make points. By the end of the book my emotions, however, circled all the way back over to starry-eyed and then some! The ending was beautiful, touching and endearing. Bravo Daniel Wallace, thank you for your work.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hollow City (Miss Peregrine’s Peculiar Children, #2); Author: Ransom Riggs; Genres: history, young-adult, mystery, thriller, romance, children, crime, paranormal, biography, historical fiction, fantasy, fiction; Review: In my personal opinion this novel was better than the first, more fast-paced.. More action. Just like with the first novel I wasn't too "hurrah" in the beginning (for a while) but towards the end I got hyped up and more invested in it. Certain things bothered me, I felt like this book isn't for my age group (surely, especially by the way the children talked), which is not his fault. I'm sure he aimed it towards the younger crowd. As I insinuated earlier, the characters are pretty immature **sigh** which was pretty obnoxious at times. I also felt like the characters weren't genuine for a long time, artificial would be a good adjective to describe them. However when I started getting into/feeling invested in my reading my feelings about the characters being artificial weren't there anymore? The pictures annoyed me in the first novel because it interrupted my imagination of things (rudely), but in this novel I viewed them as the author just showing us his inspiration for things in the novel which didn't annoy me but I would wonder if the book would feel better without them! It's not necessary to share your inspiration but to each their own I guess. Also if more rate it a 3.8 or 3.9 lol.... Don't wanna give that four starer...; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking; Author: Susan Cain; Genres: history, non-fiction, biography, historical fiction; Review: Overall I'd recommend this book to anyone interested in the topic. Susan Cain did a wonderful job researching the subject. It's obvious she went through great extents to conduct a large amount of interviews, traveled to different states. I wonder how long it took her to gather all her data if you will, then compile and edit into the final draft. You can tell how dedicated she can be to meticulous work. Some things she talked about were quite obvious in my opinion, but maybe those things aren't so obvious to say, maybe a more extroverted personality that may pick the book up? It doesn't bother me that she spoke of obvious things, it's good to speak of those things as well. I learned quite a few new facts! Which I enjoyed. I particularly enjoyed all the examples she gave of introverts (ex: t.s. Elliot .. Mahatma Ghandi .. Leo Tolstoy and many many more). I've already thought to learn more about some of the people mentioned in this book and now I'm even more motivated to dig into those lives! And learn what I can from these people. There's also people she mentioned that I haven't thought to look into but now I do, one of the most enjoyable things I gained from reading this piece of work she put so much effort into. I found myself stopping to write notes <3 and stopping to go on google to view videos or read informational sites on particularly people and maybe even topics she brought up, which shows how much I enjoyed it. If I wasn't enjoying it, I wouldn't bother to try to dig more! Maybe one other thing, nothing really so much bothered me while reading this book but I did find myself a smaaaaaaallll small small small (emphasis on small) but impatient at moments where one point she was making seem to drag on for just a tad too long. However, she did pack ALOT of points in one book! I applaud her on this work overall! Very nicely done and thank you Susan Cain :); Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and Other Stories; Author: Robert Louis Stevenson; Genres: history, mystery, thriller, crime, paranormal, biography, historical fiction, fantasy, fiction; Review: I'm officially a fan of Robert Stevenson. His life, his creative process to writing, his works. Psh, I think we could have been friends. A lot, if not all, of his short stories have been inspired by people already in existence which is very fun for me since I love researching interesting people. I also love true stories and his stories are inspired by real people and true events. I often found myself on Google (and dictionary.com- man he had a vast vocabulary! Gotta love the 1800s) researching these interesting people and events. I won't lie now, this book was a bit of a hard read for me, I don't have alot of books under my belt! It's 1800s lingo plus, as a said before, lots of words I didn't know the precise meaning to. Jekyll and Hyde: I think because I already know the story, it wasn't as fun a read as I was hoping! (That can't be helped) If I hadn't known the story already I would have enjoyed it far more. However, still a good read. ALL of Robert Stevenson's characters in all of his stories I love, for they don't feel artificial at all- they all have a great depth. Jekyll/Hyde was a frustrating character for me (I was pretty fond of the main character Utterson though). I thought Jekyll created that potion because he wanted to rid himself of evil? That would have been better! However I read the story and it seemed he was just playing around as a scientist (messing too far into the "supernatural") so the fact that he suffered so much and ended up the way he did in the end was frustrating for me. I didn't like the end much, I guess I wished for a happy ending. A lodging for the night: This was fun because I now have Francoise Villon on my list of people to research/ read about. A poet from the 1400s who ran with thieves and was often in trouble with the 'law'- even got banished for murdering a priest in a brawl. I researched him, the real Francoise Villon was even caught on several occasions and subjected to torture. He was often scared of his life ending with being hung in the gallows. In 1463?? After his banishment he disappeared. The Suicide Club: This was a fun read. I gasped often. Again all the characters have depth- I even connected to the deplorable ones. As is Stevenson's writing- he gives some nice little twists every so often and enjoys creating a bit of suspense by writing things out incompletely- leaving some things for us to ponder- and he reveals them later. I was left with a number of questions though (maybe I didn't read it well): + Who exactly dumped Geraldine's brother's body in that man's bed? +So was it a mere coincidence that Dr. Noel (who happens to be intimately associated with The Sucide Club) fell upon the discovery of the body? +Why would Colonel Geraldine and Dr. Noel be better off staying in the; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Thrawn Janet; Author: Robert Louis Stevenson; Genres: history, comics, paranormal, graphic, biography, historical fiction, fantasy, fiction; Review: THIS BOOK ACTUALLY MANAGED TO SCARE ME, I will never forget it.

Title: The Happy Prince; Author: Oscar Wilde; Genres: history, young-adult, children, paranormal, biography, historical fiction, fantasy, fiction; Review: A wonderful children's story about the beauty of sacrifice, compassion, and a giving heart. Although a rewarding and fruitful story for children (and adults alike, really) the writing for this is more advanced than what is considered digestible for children in current times. It seems our standards for what is consumable for kids has experienced a decline.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Importance of Being Earnest; Author: Oscar Wilde; Genres: history, biography, historical fiction, romance, fiction; Review: This was a hoot. Algernon, in particular, being the hoot. If you enjoy puns and sarcasm this will be a fun little piece for you to pick up. In fact, I would still suggest this even if puns and sarcasm aren't high on your list of amusements. Algernon loves to taunt and poke fun at our not-so-earnest Earnest/jack/John and the play is a fun, little farce between the two of them. I thought the piece would be a sincere, melancholy .. and quite frankly, earnest, story similar to The Picture of Dorian Gray (but nicer). I was pleasantly surprised to find it to be a highly comedic play. Oh, and I also like how Wilde had Algernon running away- withholding Jack's cigarette box from him and at the end Jack was relentlessly withholding muffins from Algernon. HA. Ah, and also the double-meaning of the play's title- clever, clever Wilde. Clever, clever. XD; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Harlot's House (1910); Author: Oscar Wilde; Genres: poetry, romance; Review: I haven't read this "book", but I just read this poem "The Harlot's House" by Oscar Wilde which is in my Collection of Wilde's work book. This is the first poem of his that stuck out PARTICULARLY to me. The theme is Love Vs. Lust, the poem follows a couple who are distracted during a walk by a house brimming with dance and song- the visuals Wilde presents of what goes in the house is his viewpoint of what lust looks like. Much like a Halloween costume of love; It's eye-catching, but it's only an ugly shell of what love is. Try as it might to mimic even the dance of love, it's a far cry from it. Sadly at the end, the female partner in the couple leaves into the house, depicting lust's lure. The dawn rises at the end of the lonely street, but the future looks dismal. As usual, Wilde's creativity and ability to create a well-put-together piece is phenomenal. Recommends, I recommends.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Great Gatsby; Author: F. Scott Fitzgerald; Genres: history, young-adult, biography, historical fiction, romance, fiction; Review: I had a lot of back and forth opinions while reading this and found myself highly critical of just everything at times. However, by the end I found myself appreciating the things I had so greatly criticized. First of which, his writing style: Fitzgerald's writing style is poetic; he has a certain fluidity and pace in his writing. Hopefully, if you follow his pace and flow you can enjoy the moving picture-show he paints for us. There are people who found The Great Gatsby boring/frustrating and I think this was due to not understanding, and/or connecting with the authors writing style. At least this was the case with me. Prior to gaining my flow, I found his writing jumpy and often got frustrated. Secondly, the unsavory qualities in his characters: I had a change of heart here because after all was said and done, I found them very real. As unlikeable and disappointing as some of them were, they are a stark portrayal of what we find in the world. I can appreciate that. As far as the narrator, Nick (Gatsby's neighbor and Daisy's cousin), I found him bland and felt he must lack empathy. He would talk about horrid things with basically no emotion or feeling about it. Again, towards the end, Nick's character shows better.. he ended up being the character with maybe the most empathy and was the only one that gave a damn about Gatsby after he died. . I wish the Nick I got to know towards the end was the Nick that was present in the beginning and middle. (There's a bit more to be said, but... Eh...) Overall, I enjoyed the story and had a change of heart regarding all the things that previously bothered me so if you enjoy classics, this isn't too shabby. Also, its a quick read and Fitzgerald's prose is something to enjoy. I may re-read later; may have some new opinions in later years.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | goodreads |

Title: Vandor 18173 Hello Kitty Small Recycled Shopper Tote, Pink; Brand: Vandor; Review: This tote is super cute, but was quite a bit smaller than I expected it to be. I purchased it for my little niece for part of her birthday present, I guess I didn't pay close enough attention to the measurements. Doesn't look like it will hold up very well.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: World's Best Memory Foam Neck Pillow, Black; Brand: World's Best; Review: My husband and I like to use neck pillows when we watch tv on the couch at night. I first purchased one of these, just to check the quality and see how we liked it. Well, we were practically fighting over who got to use it! So I promptly ordered another just like it. Well made and very comfortable. Great price. The fabric cover is so soft. We've had these for a few months, and so far, so good!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Corelle 1114046 Livingware 16-Piece Dinnerware Set, True Blue, Service for 4; Brand: Corelle; Review: I've had several sets of Corelle dishes over the years. They are very durable and great for daily use dishes. I love the color and pattern of this set. The price was right. Would recommend!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Creative Co-op DA2304 Small Decorative Angel Wings in Distressed Grey; Brand: Creative Co-op; Review: Beautiful wings, I just wish they were a bit larger. Well made and wonderful detailing on the carved looking feathers. I really don't care for the overly distressed look on the lower portion of the wings (and I am all about distressed, but not this much!!). But that wasn't a problem, as I planned on painting them anyway.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: Delba Famous German Whole Rye Bread, 16.75 Ounce (Pack of 12); Brand: Delba; Review: I made big mistake purchasing this product from German deli, I adore German deli and this is review for this product, not the store. I have to force myself to eat this type of bread, because I purchase 6 in different flavors and the are all really awful. I am not spring chicken, lived in different countries and ate many types of bread, but this is the worst type so far. The smell is pretty bad when you open the package. It was a surprize for me. Then you take a bite and start choking on clusters of grains so have something to drink handy. Might be choking hazard for small children! I tried different sandwiches with this, so far it ruined every one of them. I can stand it now with a little butter spread and coffee or tea. I tried to dump it on my birds and squirrels, but they all abandoned my feeder and after 2 weeks this stuff just laid in my feeder untouched. I had to toss it out and give birds and squirrels some dry stale green bread, usually leftover rye, french bread, ciabatta, english muffins..., I don't eat that much bread and in the South it's harder to make bread last in our humidity. Thank God my feathered friends are back. Don't care much for squirrels taking food away from birds and damaging feeders. I am easy to please, don't complain, but I am not on paleo diet (I read reviews from people on paleo, they like it).; Rating: 1.0/5.0

Title: Pizzeria Vetri; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: I'm not sure exactly how to begin to describe the delicious pizzas here. Easily one of my top five meals in my life. The crust was UNBELIEVABLY fluffy with a light char that was crispy with every bite. Our entire group gobbled down three pizzas with satisfied tummies. I literally can't wait to visit Philly again just to come here!; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: The Ritz-Carlton, Philadelphia; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: I very much enjoyed my stay at this historic hotel! The hotel bar is lovey to enjoy after a long day exploring the city- though sometimes the wait can be long to get your drink. Our room had a gorgeous view looking down the city streets plus a huge bath tub to enjoy! The curtain in the room didn't work but I found a way to enjoy the view in my bubble bath. Fun fact: the stairs leading down to the grand ballroom are slightly grooved from the gowns of women's dresses! Beat!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
