2 | Nice inexpensive chain | I bought this chain for my single speed conversion. I've put around 100 miles on it so far, and it seems to be just fine. It came with a master link, which is a plus for me because it can be a pain to connect a chain using a normal link. Seems strong and well made for the cost. I would definitely buy another.Update:I bought a second chain to compliment the first. I alternate them every 3-4 weeks on the bike, to keep one clean and ready to ride. Between the two I have a little over 4,000 miles on them. The older one has just stretched enough to need replacing. I am very satisfied with it. The only problem is that the second chain didn't come with a master link, so that's done double duty. Otherwise, it's been the perfect chain. | 11 | [

2 | BEST Final Fantasy game EVER | This is the best of the series. 7 is just behind it, but this is definitely the best. Best storyline, and personally, my favorite gameplay.I loved the drawing feature, and the card game. The card game gave me a little break from fighting big monsters and evil people. I have played 7, 8, 9, 10, and am playing 12 (in japanese); and 7 and 8 definitely have the best graphics for their time. Also, they have the best gameplay. i must say, 12 is the most disappointing game ever. For a finale, 12 is not the right way to go out. It's pathetic. Back to the point, 8 is definitely my favorite, even though people have different opinions. This also has the best storyline, in my opinion.The only final fantasy game that should be bought is this one. But, if you get more, get 7 and 8. NOT anything else. don't waste your money. | 14 | [

1 | FIVE stars for my kindle 2! ZERO stars for the bookstore! | I absolutely love my kindle 2! The thought of taking a shelf full of books with me everywhere I go is heaven. In fact I only have about three books on it and I pre-ordered the kindle 2 so I've had it for a few months. Every time I go to the bookstore to find my book of choice I see that it's not available and I can let the publisher know that I'd really love to read it on my kindle but what do I do in the meantime? An example: The Brothers Karamazov-Dostoevsky-translated by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky. It's not available. Now with this book you don't want to read just any old translation. So I wonder when it's going to be available and in the meantime I guess I'll just thumb through some inferior translation and hope for the best? Nope, I'm not going to do that. UGH!!!! I could go on and on with other titles but I won't bore you. I love my kindle but I never get to use it.....for $350 no less. | 12 | [

2 | I'm in Heaven | I wanted this pillow when I found out I was pregnant for the second time. I remember how uncomfortable it was trying to sleep with just regular pillows. Either I got shoved out of bed or my husband did with all the extra pillows I used to try and get comfy. I'm not gonna tell you this pillow isn't a bit bulky but it's worth it. It supports everything the way you want it too and it doesn't shift while you're asleep... I actually got a full night's sleep the first night I got it. This thing makes me feel cuddled and almost like how I imagine a cat would feel in a kitty bed. I can pull the open part together and snuggle in the middle... I love it! Definitly worth the price. I recommend it to any pregnant woman... a good nights sleep is priceless especially since there won't be many after the baby is born, unless you're extremely lucky. | 11 | [

1 | A waste of time. | I listened to the unabridged audio cd version of this story. What a mess. I'm giving up 2/3rds of the way through because I just don't care anymore how these idiot characters end up. I am most appalled by writers who write of supposedly intelligent characters - in this case, two married lawyers - who do unbelievably stupid things without sensible, logical motivation. The two main characters are completely pitiful. They repeat their own self-doubt endlessly. and I mean ENDLESSLY. So much so that I finally stopped caring what happened to these two. The story is confusing and illogical from beginning to end. Why neither one would report the outrageously criminal activity that was needed to move the story along makes positively no sense. Do not waste your time on this one. | 11 | [

1 | Sorry, I wasted my money ! ! ! | Descriptions are of a company that produces near "Record" - Quality Machining !! What a let down, when I opened up the box, other than the nice color! I immediately went on E-bay and won a "High Quality Stanley No. 78 Plane" for $38.00 Dollars. And then spent $10.00 more for missing parts. Don't buy this "Indian Junk". Anyone want a New Anant No. 78. I'll just about give it away !! It should have sold for about $19.99. | 12 | [

1 | The Worst Book I Have Ever Read | This book is a wasteland. The characters are all flat, and stupid. Most of them are the same person. Analogies with technology that were meant to make the book seem modern and edgy only show just how poor the author's understanding of technology really is. The conclusion is a pile of puerile, self-congratulatory nonsense.Every other page either has the word 'plug,' 'outlet,' or depicts our protagonist having sex. Guess what? "PLUG" and "OUTLET" are Taguchi's idea of a clever reinterpretation of SEX. (spoilers!) Our main character is a woman, thus OUTLET. Good job, there. Very deep.They ought to call her "Ozymandius" Taguchi, because when I look upon her works, I despair. | 11 | [

1 | move on up to the East Side | As previous reviewers have stated, this camera has major battery drain issues. I Recieved the 580 last night for an early Christmas present and 24 hours later it's packed, ready to go back. After taking about 15 pics and messing around with the set up, the first set of Alkalines ran out. The second set didn't last one picture!! The third set three or four. It does state on their website that it doesn't recommend Alkalines but instead tells you to use a $13.00 one that lasts maybe 20 or 30 times more. And for rechargeble Ni's you'll probably need ten sets.I reccomend you move up to the Canon A95. For a hundred bucks more you get a much better camera. Check it out. It has dozens of better features including a state of the art processing chip, a flexible display, manual options, and a better focusing system. Save your self the trouble with this Olympus unless your daddy owns Duracell. | 11 | [

1 | For Michael Ende�s Sake - Don�t Buy It!!! | Please heed my words and avoid this movie! Michael Ende's novel "The Neverending Story" is my all-time favorite book, and I believe to be one of the most original and inspiring fantasies ever written. But this... THIS adaptation of it is an outrage! "They" have altered Ende's ideals to appeal to a brain-washed Potter-crazed society! For example, the befreckled redhead, Bastian, has two close friends - a black-haired bespectacled boy, and a frizzy-haired brunette girl. Together, they engage in outrageous and downright ridiculous escapades between classes at their middle school... how much lower can you get? Ende set out to write a story which could stand by itself as a completely original story. And now it has been raped and twisted into this abomination! Please - PLEASE - do not support it by purchasing it! If you do, trust me, it will only end up on eBay. READ THE BOOK... thanks. | 12 | [

1 | This Movie is a disgrace to the Jason legacy | What kind of Mickey Mouse, PG rated,MTV real world, sci fi mini-series is this. This is no way compares to the other jason films. Infact is stains the Jason legacy. this movie is stupid and not worth watching. The film makes put no effort in making outer space or the space ship and the actors are stupid and can't act period. The space ship and looks extremely fake like somethin off a mini-series. The only good part in the film was when jason's body turned into all metal and that's at the end of the movie (go figure). I mean i could have made a better movie than this with a home video camra.The actors on this movie look like they were MTV real world. this film is completely [weak] and should have never been made. this crapy film makes jason look [weak] to me.

1 | Oh No, don't buy this one.... | I thought this was such a great seat! Had great marks from the consumer reports, buying it last year, but it really sucks! When my son falls asleep, his poor little head just flops down as well. The straps are awful! They're always getting twisted and once they are they are SO impossible to straighten, we've had to take it into the house and do it! Also, to move the straps once your child gets taller, takes an act of god as well. My son is only 2 and he's already grown out of it! Trying to get him into it with a winter jacket is virtually impossible. And don't get me started on tightening the straps! Evenflo, really needs to remake their tighting system! Half the time it gets stuck and you can't get the straps undone, although one thing I have to say is it does tighten the child into the seat. ......All in all I was not HAPPY AT ALL! | 12 | [

1 | disappointing performance | I'm afraid that I can't agree with the 5 star ratings some of the other reviewers have given this tool. My intended use was to cut 3/4 inch birch plywood to rough size to make the parts easier to handle on the table saw. I usually cut 1 sheet of plywood in half. The saw is grossly underpowered and can barely make it through 2 passes. I never expected it to replace a corded circular saw, but this barely qualifies as a saw. The blade typically slows dramatically and frequently stops during the 2nd cut - and this is with a fully charged battery. My model is a 12V - maybe the 14V version will do a little better for you. This is not a rugged tool, and it simply doesn't have the power to produce anything but frustration - and it's way overpriced. It's OK for the occasional DIYer looking to cut nothing thicker than 3/4 material. If you're used to handling pro tools, skip this model. Makita got this one all wrong. | 11 | [

1 | Silly book. | Okay, I have several books written by people who claim to have left their bodies and gone to heaven. I have enjoyed all the books and the stories these people have shared. But not this one. This is the only story that made me laugh outloud at the outrageous claims he is making. I do NOT believe his story. It seems very made up and full of lies. Not to mention its a very boring read. Just a very silly story that will leave you shaking your head and throwing the book away before you finish it. I also purchased this book new and it came looking old and with a "goodwill" price tag on it. But I bought it from Amazon. Not sure how it went through Goodwill first. | 11 | [

2 | Excellent Toy with an amazing price tag | My daughter just turned two last week and has been begging me for a trampoline. My brother and sister in law found this and sent it to her. She absolutely loves it. I was worried she would not be big enough but it is perfect for her. She loves to hold on to the handles and jump. She really enjoys the music that can accompany it. Before we received it they sent us the reviews so we were prepared for how difficult it was to put together. It wasn't that it was so difficult or so many steps. It was that the directions that accompany it are not very good and you have to do a trial and error using the pictures. It took us 1 hour and 20 minutes to put it together. You will need to people when you are putting the trampoline part on. Well worth the frustration to put it together. It is the first toy I have found that my daughter is interested in everyday for a sustained period of time. | 13 | [

1 | Seriously painful | This may be a great workout if you're under 30, already in great shape, and pretzel-flexible. If you're not, you might want to skip this one.I'l try just about anything once; this had enough good reviews that I thought it couldn't hurt. I'd read enough to be pretty sure the diet was for the birds (too expensive, too closely resembling anorexia), so that was a non-starter. I tried the mat workout, thinking at worst, it wouldn't do anything for me. WRONG. Five days into the first 10-day segment, my hips were killing me. I mean, they hurt to the point that I had trouble sleeping. Hmmm. Not good.I'm going to give myself a few days to recover. I like a few of the mat moves. I'm pretty sure I'll like a few more with some modifications. And I'm pretty sure I'll never like some of them. In that sense, this isn't a whole lot different from most other workout books.Bottom line: Not a complete waste of money, but be very careful. | 13 | [

2 | DANTE IS THE MAN | This is by far 1 of the best books I've ever read. I am not much of a reader. I tend to get bored and put the book down (ex: The sword in the stone- 0 stars) this book however.. my copy is not the same as this but still has inferno, purgutorio, and paridisso.. still I cannot put this down unless I must. I bought a nice book cover so i could carry it around. This book is so hardcore considering that it was written in like 1650 i think, and also considering that it's true. yes i said it, it's true. think about it.. how could he have had the knowledge that we have come across now way back then? he coundn't have. i totally believe this book it true.. if it wasn't then why would people spend so much time converting it into so many different languages and etc...this book is 1337, it owns, it pwns even. say what you will.. but this book is by far the best you'll ever read. plus it's in poetic form (obviously because Dante is a peot) that makes it all the better.5 stars G.peace_ chris | 11 | [

1 | One of the Worst Books I've Ever Read | I bought this book through the [local store], so I was expecting a good read. I was so wrong. This book has no redeeming features whatever. It would be a teen book (and not fodder for the [local store]) if not for the explicit sex. It gives no clear picture of the university, supposedly a California Ivy. Eve, the heroine, is poorly drawn and not terribly sympathetic. She has no ambition other than to become head cheerleader and marry well. Kendra, her roommate, is a far more interesting character. There is no motivation for the Fata Morgana's choice of Eve for doom. Even the cheerleading tryouts (for a major university!) are a farce, as is the size of the squad. Do not waste your money on this book. | 12 | [

1 | not so cheery | The main review called this "the cheeriest album about millennial tension and apocalyptic craziness that you're likely to hear." Huh? I wouldn't call anything on here remotely "cheery." Even if you are a fan of ambient trip-hop, or whatever cleverly-named genre this is supposed to fit into, you would be hard pressed to call this an "up" album. Even atmospheric or relaxing would be a stretch. I truly enjoyed the Orb's "Adventures Beyond the Ultra World" album many years ago. As I recall, that one had actual songs and some interesting dance rhythms. This one just has ... odd sounds. Tunes that float and burp and go nowhere. The appeal of this one totally escapes me. Good to put on late night and fall fast asleep to. | 11 | [

2 | Good Moderate Priced Coffee Grinder | We've been using this grinder for about 6 mos now after having one of those Grind and Brew combo things that we always hated. This grinder grinds the beans evenly and is reasonably quiet. It is easy to fill and to empty. The only negatives are that it takes some guesswork to figure out what setting to put the grinder on. There are just numbers that seem to equate to time that the grinder runs. It keeps running after the hopper is empty unless you turn the dial to zero. One other thing, because it's plastic, the ground coffee clings to the exterior (static electricity), so there is always coffee bean "dust" around the grinder unless you wipe up after every grind. Who has time for that? I imagine every grinder has this problem. All in all, as grinders go, we like this one a lot and would purchase it again. Best features are that it grinds evenly, is quiet, looks good and has a fairly compact footprint. | 11 | [

1 | One more witness | The book Winess was not one of my favorite books. This book was about a girl named Leonna Sutter who lives in a small town in Vermont. The setting for this book was in 1924 when the KKK were moving into town. She is a witness to all of this. This book is easy to read but difficult to understand, because it skips from one story to another. It was confusing but don't take my advice for it. You are your own person and you choose if you want to read it or not. In this book, the only thing I really understood was when Leonna was telling about her life. But when everybody else was telling their different stories it got confusing. The best story element for this book would be the characterization. It has so much of this in this book because it talks about different people of what they were going through. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes histroy. | 12 | [

1 | Stratocabbagius..........A listening extravaganzagus. | Up until 2005, I had never heard of Stratovarius. After listening to Visions, I now know why. What is this album? I went back and listened again. I do feel that Visions is their best work up to date, including their newer releases. However, there best work is cabbage. I would describe Visions as video game soundtrack material where the game producers are trying to Mock the 1980's cheesy metal scene. It's hilarious, actually. The Track "Forever Free" made me laugh out loud.I think it's the vocals that turn this album into something I can't take seriously. Every time I hear that voice, I bust up. Total Cheese Whiz. Where's that hotdog?The most potential with Visions are the drums and the beats. The rhythms are quite good and really involve you.Statovarius? No.Next question. | 14 | [

2 | Pumped Exclusively | My son was born with Down syndrome, and had a hard time learning to eat. Once he figured it out, he was too set on bottles, so in order for him to get breastmilk, I had to pump exclusively. I used the hospital pump a couple times a day while he was in the NICU, but only had a manual pump at home - that got old real quick. I bought this pump and I loved it. I was able to pump about 6-8 oz everytime in about 15 minutes. I had to quit pumping when he was 4 months old for medical reasons, but I had enough milk in the freezer to keep him on breastmilk for awhile. This is a great pump, I had no problems with decreased suction, motor problems, or anything. It still works as good as the day I bought it, and I used it to death. I really liked the battery pack, although the batteries did wear out after about 5 sessions. The cooler portion is great, too. We had to fly cross country and without the battery or cooler, we would have been in sorry shape. | 11 | [

2 | Great Product | Hi All.Ok, I said it is a great product. Now how would you really discribe a "Great Product" on something like this one, and for such a low price too. Well its a "Tooth Brush Holder", WOW, its great for its intended use. We put ours in our Motorhome. It does do its job very well. And that job is to keep our tooth brushes clean, and stored and easy to get to. Doesn't look all that bad in our Motorhomes Bathroom either. As with most any type and size of an RV, you always seem to try and add or find more spaces to use. And this does exactely that. We really do like this Product. Happy Travels | 11 | [

2 | Love my Hoover | Took me a long time to find a canister vac. Finally through Amazon. After using my Hoover, the carpet feels almost like new, fluffy and clean. Only I do have a Sheltie with long hair. I do clean the power head before every use, as it does fill up with hair. I think that would happen with any vac with a power head. Other that that it works good. Only have had it for 1 1/2 months. Had a small Hoover that was great! and it lasted at least 20 years, wheels fell off, but still the best vac that I ever had. I will always use a Hoover. Through Amazon, it was a great price, and had it within a week. | 12 | [

2 | Another fabulous book. More. Please. Soon. | This is a great book!This installment really moves the story and characters forward. As much as I don't want it to end I like having my questions answered, especially if it raises several more in the process. Wicked-good ending. Oh, wait, that's going to be the beginning... good thing!I like the way the story ebbs and flows. The tempo changes within the book and between volumes; each one has. It adds texture to the different flavours within the story. I have a better sense of real-time perspective within this story than any other book I've read. This is so many stories within one book, length is not a problem for Tad but a virtue. Complexity is not a problem, it's the point. I hope he is getting paid by the word because he earns it. I can't wait for the next 650+ pages. The nice thing about Tad's Otherland books is that I have so much to think about while I wait. | 12 | [

I finished the book after she went to bed. LOL. It's only 9 chapters so pretty short but it kept me at it! I laughed, I wondered, I was sad..... That is what books are all about right?

1 | extreme disappointment | I'll start off by saying that I was a big sunny day real estate fan and dug Jeremy Enigk's solo album. When I first heard about The Fire Theft project, I was genuinely excited. Every once in a while I'd check their website to see if they'd set a release date or made any mp3's available. I remember downloading the song Sinatra. I didn't like it, but i remained hopeful. I bought this album the day it was released and listened to it intently when I got home. I didn't like it, but thought maybe it would grow on me. I left it alone for a while. Every once in a while I'd throw it in, give it another chance. I really wanted to like it. Eventually I gave up and accepted that my first instinct had been correct; this album is awful. | 11 | [

1 | Unto the pure . . . | As with the Harry Potter books (silly as they may be), we Christians need to use careful, intelligent discernment and not automatically condemn anything with "magic." After all, what then do we say of C.S. Lewis' _Chronicles of Narnia_ or _The Lord of the Rings_, written by J.R.R. Tolkien, a Catholic? (And yes, Catholics are Christians, contrary to some misinformed opinions.)As occasional entertainment, where the players play good characters, D&D has its merits. Playing in that way is not inconsistent with devotion to Jesus Christ; the greatest danger is that, in playing it, you not be spending your time in a way that best advances God's kingdom. Thus the need for moderation . . . I found that my playing of the game aided my vocabulary, imagination, organization, memory and writing skills--and my friends and I had fun and didn't go out drinking, using drugs, or womanizing. In that sense, it was a good thing. | 12 | [

1 | What Happened? | I am in shock at how bad this game is. I have loved every Tiger game to come out in past years. The graphics got worse, the game play is pathetic, and the menus are just not user friendly. The new dual control only makes things frustrating. The new voice addition to your player is almost as annoying as listening to Michael Moore. This game sucks! The only logical thing that I can think of; EA made this Tiger game exclusively for the next generation consoles like Xbox 360. EA must have used most of their resources to make this game for the more powerful systems and just put the scraps into the regular consoles. The evidence is in the graphics, they are equivalent to PS1 plus the game play is leggy. I am rattled that such a great title has gone from top notch to worthless. Maybe the Xbox 360 version will be a revolution in the Tiger series, but until then, don't buy this game without renting it first. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. | 12 | [

1 | Great material, bad recording | I often wondered why this album sounded so thin and weak. I used to think my LP was a bad press, but then years later I bought the remastered import on CD. It sounded thin and weak, too. The sound quality for me makes this CD hard to listen to, even though I really like the album content. I would really like to hear this album not just remastered, but remixed as well. I doubt that would ever happen. It was cool to hear Megadeth's version of "Never Say Die" on the second N.I.B. album because you can get an idea of what the song really should sound like. It would be awesome to hear of other re-makes of songs on this album. My personal favorites are "Hard Road" (which I can listen to over and over) and "Shock Wave" (Cool riff at the start, and then a very complimentary riff on top of that). I would love to rate this album higher than 2 stars, but the sound quality is horrible. One of the worst mixed albums of all time. | 12 | [

2 | Sonics first nintendo game is a hit! | Well I being an owner of a Sega Genesis have played many of the classic sonic games. So when this came out for the Cube I thought I should expand my Sonic collection. I a glad I did. The game features two main modes Hero and Dark. Both vary in different ways but share a common goal, to collect all the Chaos Emeralds. In Dark you play as Shadow, Dr.Eggman, and Rouge. In Hero you play as Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles. After you beat both sides you unlock a new mode. In this mode all six characters come togehter to prevent the space statio n from running into Earth. The game itself contains over 150 missions. Exclusive to the Gamecube version is a series of multiplayer games. In these games you can be such people as Chaos Zero, metal sonic, or Amy. The reason this game got 4 stars is because the game lacks replay value and the multiplayer games are a little lacking. Overall,I'd say the game is worth a buy. | 14 | [

2 | Jane is my new best friend!! | SEE JANE DATE is an irresistible read. From page one, I was charmed by the bond between Jane and her best bud, Eloise. I loved all the eccentric publishing folk Jane has to put up with in her assistant editor job. Adored the too-beautiful Natasha Nutley (in spite of myself). My favorite character (besides Jane, of course) was Jane's aunt Ina. She was so real, so lovable as the nagging-but-well-intentioned mother-figure in Jane's life ("Go ahead, Jane, be single. Never get married. End up all alone like your great-aunt Gertie, God rest her soul.") Can you just picture Aunt Ina in her Forest Hills living room??

1 | youve gotta be kidding | Do not buy this album its the worst album ever made. dont get me wrong i love loud intense heavy metal but this is just noize. the singer screeches and you can hear his throat almost about to explode every second he whails out his peverted lyrics. the rest of the band just pound on there instruments. i honestly love loud angry metal. but metal is supposed to be energenic. passionite and have some musical value to it. pantera dosent have any of these qaulities. they think that if they can sound angry theyre all set. does it really take any talent to screech like an insane serilal killer? all pantera are is a bunch of cocks---ng loudmouth mother fu--rs who scream furiously and have no idea how to play theyre instruments. if you want real metal check out 80s metalica. slayer. system of a down.

1 | doubtful.. | This book contains some helpful information about keeping good health and mind. But it is not proven safe. Actually, the ground theory of this book, Dahn-Hak(which is ancient yoga-like training method originated from Korea and China) is all about keeping strong dahn-jun(japanese:Hara). But brain respiration is very different. This B.R. focuses not on dahn-jun, but sang-dahn-jun, or brain. This is very dangerous approach. Before you can do B.R training, you got to have strong dahn-jun. It takes long long time to do B.R. Please reconsider buying this book, I don't recommend this book. I had been long time trainee of Dahn-yoga. | 11 | [

2 | witches, sisters and prophecies | I loved this story, The heroin is strong & magical. The story is original, engaging & light.This is a story of a young witch, fighting for the freedom of her sister & her state. I was intrigued by the way she used her magic & by the religion they followed.I agree with one of the reviewers that I wanted to know more about Mervion, Gaultry's sister. I would have liked it if Ms. Reimann had included a few more scenes describing what was happening to Mervion, she is obviously strong & willful, but I would have liked to know her better! Also I needed to know a bit more about the handsome & mysterious Martin. After all he is the hero!!All in all a very good story. Thank you Ms. Reimann. Can't wait to read the 2nd book.Read it!! You'll enjoy it!! | 11 | [

Album Version- Simply the best one of all after number 3! 5/52. Rodney Jerkins Mix- This remix is ok but it kind of gets on your nerves arter a while. 3/53. Ospina's Crossover Mix- This is my favorite remix on the CD! This is better than the album version! The best one of all! 10/54. Riprock 'N' Alex G.'s Oops! We Remixed Again (Radio Mix)- This mix is ok but it could have been better. 3/55. Ospina's Deep Club Mix- This is real cool. 3/56. Riprock 'N' Alex G.'s Oops! We Remixed Again (Club Mix)- good. 3/57. Ospina's Instrmental Dub- This is great! 4/5Overall Ospina's remixes are better. | 22 | [

2 | **An Interesting Listen...** | This double CD of the classic children's story by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry leaves you feeling oddly satisfied. Luckily, this recording covers the entire musical, so it's not as confusing as it might be. The main star in this recording is undoubtedly Daniel Lavoie of Notre Dame fame. He plays the Aviator, and plays it extrememly well. His polished and smooth voice plays well in any ear, and this CD also shows that he is an excellent actor as well. His co-star, Jeff, is extremely talented for a boy his age. Some of the better numbers are: "Pres D'Elle", where Jeff sings of his longing for the Rose with his high voice. "Adieu" is also a pretty ditty. But yet of course, we cannot forget Mr. Lavoie with his "Ephémères" is his big number. And finally, there is the moving duet: "On Aura Toujours Rendez-vous." I would suggest this musical to anyone who has an interest in Daniel Lavoie or Notre Dame de Paris!! | 12 | [

1 | Manipulative and disgusting | The villains of this piece, the Chandonnes, are as appalling as they are impossible to believe. I guess this shouldn't be a surprise, since the title is taken from a maggot. Cornwell is far more fascinated by the Chandonnes than I ever have been. The manipulative part was far more infuritating. These characters seem to come from a different series. Scarpetta is so remote she seems comatose. Lucy's sexuality slides up and down the continuum -- difficult to accept from such an out and proud lesbian. Marino is his old self, confronting his feelings for Kay (at least internally) with uncommon candor. He's the only one that feels familiar. And THE plot twist (I won't give it away) is so manipulative that I feel as though I've been played like a violin. In all, an unpleasant experience. I agree with the previous reviewer who encourages the talented Ms. Cornwell to just move on, get past the Chandonnes, and give us a credible story we will actually care about. | 12 | [

1 | Whats the hissing? | So I was super stoked to finally get this in the mail. However, I plugged it in and immediating, it starts makes noise. I though that if I dropped my ipod into it, it would stop. No, no it didnt. Its some kinda hissing. So I cant really judge the sound quality cause it has a white noise. The kinda noise you used to hear when your stereo was up loud and the you were in between tracks on a cassette tape.Lastly, pet peeves: it has 2 power buttons, on for the unit and one for the fm radio. The dock isnt tight, and when you pull a 4g ipod out of the dock, it doesnt pause like it should. The knobs and buttons are cheap. GRRRRR. I already sent it back to amazon.I gave it 2 stars cause I did like the size and the ergonomics, it is visually pleasing and a great idea for the ipod. | 11 | [

1 | Unusable because of battery consumption | I made the mistake of buying two of these. One for my wife and one for my son at the same time. Sure, they are cheap, but they should at least work like a camera. They take double A batteries. You are literally lucky to get 10 pictures out of a set of new batteries. Sometimes you get 3 or 4. You literally have to carry a pocketful of batteries to use this camera. Sure, the pictures are great, you just can't take any. There is nothing more frustrating. I have an old Cannon Elph that will take literally hundreds of pictures on one charge. These guys are begging for a class action lawsuit. | 11 | [

1 | tedious, fluffy dribble, insufferable... | Man, I scanned through many of the 4~5 star reviews on this album, thinking, "Yeah, this looks like a good possibility..."Honestly, I could not make it past the 3rd cut. Then played 10 seconds of the next couple tracks, and 'click,' out it came from my player. I want my money back.Horrible. Dreck. Contrived, utterly forgettable crap of the highest order.Does she have a nice voice? Do we have competent production value? Sure. But it's like special effects in a film. If there is no story they can't carry the film.I love good downtempo/trip hop/acid jazz, etc. I listen to a lot of Massive Attack, Tricky, Morcheeba, Air, Portishead, Kruder & Dorfmeister, Amon Tobin, Zero 7, etc... Sorry, this disk ain't anything approaching this stuff.I can't fathom how this album got so many favorable reviews. | 11 | [

2 | Beauty is Within | Cuckoo is a very beautiful bird with a gorgeous voice. The problem is she is extremely vain. Cuckoo does not help the other birds gather seeds for food. One day there is a fire, and Cuckoo is the only one awake. Cuckoo salvages all of the villages seeds by storing them in a mole hole. The soot from the fire has caused her feathers to turn black. When everyone recognizes Cuckoo and what she has done they are all very proud of her and forgiving for her selfish past.Note to teachers: This book has beautiful, colorful illustrations. You should definetly follow any activity you do with this text with an art project on mosaics with extraordinary colors. This book could be used to prove a very good moral lesson. Beauty is only skin deep, and no one person is better than the rest of the group. Everyone must pitch in their part. You could also use this to introduce a unit on Africa, because this is an African folk tale. | 12 | [

1 | So Frustrating | I tend to play a lot of x-box games, and ninja ones at that. They are generally fun. This one is definitely not. I just want you to know that I join a website just so I can let you know of my frustration. The camera angles are so annoying its hard to see what you are doing. The action is so so bad, but its pretty bad, because you die really quickly. It is also not a consistant game play, you can hit someone one moment, and do the exact same thing the next moment (while the enemy responds the same way) and not hit them, and then get hit. The play is not consistant. it would be so bad if maybe you could save when you wanted, after you get passed a hard spot, but you can't, they take you back and you have to do it all over again and again. This game is so incredibly frustrating, not even a fun frustrating, because I like a challenge, but just a horrible frustrating. Good luck. | 11 | [

1 | Focus Issues, Overpriced | I bought this lens for my D40 (for $375), but ended up returning it. At the time, it was the only auto focusing 30mm prime available for the D40.Upon receiving the lens, I shot with it for a week but kept noticing my focus wasn't quite right. This was much more noticeable in some shots than others. In addition, the lens added a yellow cast to my images.After doing some research, it turns out the Sigma 30mm f1.4 is known to have both focus and cast issues. After doing more extensive tests with a focus chart, it was very apparent my lens was backfocusing about .3-.5". Not good. I could have sent it to Sigma to re-calibration, but for that much money, no thanks. In fact, I'll be very cautious of every buying a non-Nikon branded lens again.Luckily, Nikon announced it will be selling it's own 35mm f1.8 at the beginning of March 2009. Oh, and what's even better? It's going to be priced at $199 US. Initial reviews have been very good. I've already pre-ordered mine. | 12 | [

1 | Not Recommended | Considering the fact that this printer was free with the purchase of a digital camera, I would not recommend purchasing this printer. If you can get it for free - go for it. Biggest complaint was trying to print standard sized photos. It never would print the pictures correctly on photo paper. The scanner and copier worked fine. Like all the other reviews, ink cartridge replacement was very irritating. LCD panel was very hard to read. After 2 years (of very little usage), I got an indication in the LCD display, "Unable to Clean..." message. It no longer works. Now I am stuck with new packs of ink that I will never use. I would take another free one though. | 11 | [

1 | One Elvis Fan's Opinion | The actual title of this CD is: ELVIS PRESLEY: Maybellene. and contains 13 tracks. It was put out in the UK by Time Music International. In my opinion, it is of very poor quality and appears to be recordings from some of his earliest performances in the 50s.The track list is: 1. Heartbreak Hotel, 2. Maybellene, 3. Money, Honey, 4. Blue Suede Shoes, 5. Tweedle Dee, 6. There's Good Rockin' Tonight, 7. Long Tall Sally, 8. I Was The One, 9. Baby Let's Play House, 10.That's Alright Mama, 11. Blue Moon Of Kentucky, 12. I Got A Woman, and 13. Hound Dog.The Book is titled 'The Hitchhiker's Guide To Elvis' by Mick Farren, published in Canada in 1994. It contains an A to Z listing of so-called facts.Would seem that someone has combined two items, that were not selling, and released them as something new. | 17 | [

1 | Has Turtledove Finally Run Out Of Ideas? | I wanted to like this book, I really did. Ever since reading the Misplaced Legion books, I've been a big Turtledove fan. Unfortunately, it seems like he's finally hit a wall. Into the Darkness is mediocre, at best. The problem may be that Turtledove is currently in the middle of three different trilogies. It may be that after 20 or so books, he's running out of original things to say. Whatever the reason, this book is a paint-by-numbers work. The characters, story-lines and politics are a re-hashing of his better efforts. Unfortunate, really. I had high hopes for this book. The setting is certainly novel. Maybe Turledove should focus less on volume and more on quality. However, Into the Darkness is one of his weaker works. | 13 | [

2 | Very good study guide. | I used this book, in conjunction with Network + for Dummies. I did very well on the exam. I think this book alone would have been enough. Hard to say for sure. If you're serious, and can afford it, you should always have another book to compliment your studies. The CD contained a great engine for targeting questions by topic. Besides having the typical practice test, it also had every chapter quiz question (from the book) on it. The entire book is also contained on the cd. VERY nice features. The CD did have a few minor glitches though. Drag and drop questions that scored wrong when they were correct, and not being able to use the "previous" feature in a practice test. It's sad to say, but after buying lots of study materials for A+ and Net+ I haven't found any that didn't have these kind of glitches. | 12 | [

1 | Wow. I really hate this grinder. | First of all, it barely grinds anything. The most I've fit in for grinding is four tablespoons. So I have to keep emptying and grinding more and more to make a full pot of coffee. The grind itself is horrible - big chunks. Hard to get even coarse french press grind. Really hard to get fine grind for automatic drip. The retractable cord is deceiving. You have to retract it yourself by turning the grinder over and over. I thought that part would be electric. Lastly, it is extremely messy. There is no way to open the lid, after grinding, without spilling coffee all over the counter. I think I'll go back to my cheaper Toastmaster grinder that far surpasses this one! | 12 | [

This game game is phenominal. I bought it back in 97 and i started playing it single player. I loved it at first but it got boring. Then i decided to try the game out online. This game doesn't even get good till you have played it online. No game will ever be as fun as this game was to play online. THE BEST ONLINE MULTIPLAYER GAME EVER. Unfortunately the online gameplay has died because it is such an old game. The game that started it all: Command and conquer Gold 95 will never be eclipsed by any other RTS game to come. | 11 | [

1 | Dissapointing | This is the only Wolverine album I own. I bought it after seeing them on Amazon constantly when browzing through metal and progressive metal genres. From what I have read, the first disk is heavier, the second lighter and this one a mix of the two. The other reviews on here are mostly 5 stars. I just don't get it. To me this is really bland sounding mellow music. The only thing that saves this at all is the very good vocalist. One reviewer compared them to Katatonia, Anathema and Novembre. These guys don't come close to the atmosphere or feeling of a Katatonia disk. They are not in Novembre's league at all. They may be like newer Anathema but to me that is not a good thing. Another reviewer said if you like Agalloch you would like these guys. I love Agalloch but not this disk. I know this may upset some people but I just don't get moved at all by this. I don't find it aggressive at all and very generic sounding. It seems like I have heard it all before. | 16 | [

1 | Watered down; some people are better not on film | There is a reason why the radio show is magical - because you have to imagine the characters from the voices.This movie is a total failure. Garrison Keillor has a beautiful voice and probably has a live on stage charisma, but is so physically homely that he should not be in a movie. He appears stiff and self conscious. He is not meant to be a cinema actor. He is a super talented writer and singer but visual acting is not his thing. He is really unfortunate to look at. The make up looks really pasty on him. He is the kind of person who should have a shiny oily face, so he looks real rather than all powdered up and trying to look beautiful.Throwing celebrities in there does not help. Rather, it heightens the sterility and lack of chemistry among the actors who are not really singers and should be working in dramas, not musicals.Was the script bad, or the ideas bad, or execution bad. Don't know what to blame. It's just a terrible movie. | 11 | [

1 | Poor quality saw | I assembled the saw very easily. Good directions and easy to follow. The saw out of the box had a very noisy motor. I removed the brushes and found the armature with some scoring. I buffed the armature and smoothed the brushes. This did little to quiet the motor. It is still very noisy. The cut was reasonably smooth after I replaced the blade with a Freud cutoff blade. I have made about 2000 cuts so far in dry hardwood. I am not impressed with the overall quality of the saw considering that this is supposed to be a high quality saw. I won't be buying another Hitachi product if this what they think is acceptable. | 11 | [

2 | Excellent! | Are you kidding? This is a solid, basic case. Like you'd expect to get for $50 to $65 at you local gun shop. It's $23, how does it get less than 5 stars? Thick padding, solid construction, good solid zipper, custom logo Ruger 10-22 case. No pockets. No wheels. No windows, or little pockets to put shipping tags in. No hard case sections. No cupholder. It's just a basic rifle case, and my wife's scoped 10-22 is very happy inside. 8^) | 12 | [

2 | I love saucony's. Biased review | I have been a long time Saucony running shoes user since high school. Found this funky named brand from a Runners magazine.Very comfortable. I have a small but wide feet. And saucony's seem to fit me very well. This one is no excption. Also, my feet has a underpronate issue, so I need cushioned shoes to correct the issue. This one has plenty of cushion. It is pretty light, which is vital for long running and walking.Again, I am a bit biased, so take my review for a grain of salt. I gave my retired saucony (not this model, very old model) to my dad, who is very frugal. He said it is one of the most comfortable shoes he has worn. So there. | 11 | [

Thats what is sooo dumb about it all! If you REALLY know what metal is you would know this is NOT metal at all! Real metal-Godsmack, Pantera, Slayer, old Metallica. Nu-Metal that is good-KoRn, Distrubed, System of a Down, Slipknot, and Mudvayne to name a few. BUT Linkin Park should not even be classified as nu-metal! It is an insult to people that actually know what metal is! How you know this isnt metal is because teen girls enjoy it. They like it because Chester Bennington is "hot" and he sound like Nsync. If you put rap, pop, and a few pitiful riffs into a blender you would get this. Do everybody a favor and dont classify this as metal, more like "rapcore". | 13 | [

Washington,Jefferson,Hamilton,Madison,Franklin,etc.,etc. Were all mean,unable,ambituous,vile men to varying degrees. Only Adams was pure. As a book on Adams it is fine but as a source on our colonial history, forget it. It could be 100% correct but I doubt it. I strongly doubt the honesty of this book. Again, it is a great book on Adams. However, I look upon it as "The Alice Through the Looking Glass" of history books. It is well worth the reading.

1 | Check the ISBN # | I bought this book for mainly guitar tabs and secondly for the CD. I has neither. I checked the ISBN number and they match for this book. (978-0-634-01948-7) There are other similar books including one with just guitar tablature that includes a CD. I figured this book had more to it so I bought it instead. Although it's difficult to tell exactly what parts of some songs are because they flow together, the songs in the book are in the wrong order and this book seems incomplete at best. The only thing useful were the guitar chords. If you are buying this book for guitar it is not the one you wan't. I recomend you do some research before you buy any book and try to check to make sure the ISBN numbers match the one you do want. I noticed they are not always listed.AFTER POSTING THIS I NOTICED THE REVIEW IS POSTED FOR MORE THAN ONE BOOK. BE CAREFUL OF THE REVIEWS! | 11 | [

1 | Very, very, very bad, indeed | Amazon.com is such a pleasure to deal with. The representatives are courteous, helpful, and accomodating. I had the pleasure to experience this myself when I was returning this piece of trash. Mr. Godek came up with a dozen or two "o.k." (but nothing extraorinary) ideas and filled up the rest of the space with quintessential garbage. My fellow Amazon customer, I wish you all the best because, like me, you are on the path to becoming a true romantic for the woman you love. That's very noble, and I couldn't respect that more. That's why I say to thee: DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY AND NERVE CELLS! This book is not the one you need. Allow me to recommend another one: "How to Romance the Woman You Love - The Way She Wants You To." By Lucy Sanna and Kathy Miller. The ISBN is 0761508708. Good luck. | 13 | [

1 | Chicago Live DVD | What a waste of money. I have been a Chicago fan from the beginning. When I purchased this DVD I was not aware it was a remake of an old TV show. Shame on me. Terrible recording with old members that are long forgotten. Chicago is a fantastic group, but their offerings of concert DVD's is one of the worst. Only the Earth Wind and Fire concert with Chicago is worth buying. Why don't these guys get it. Take one of your recent concerts, make a DVD and it will sell. That's all I want. Stop with all these feeble attempts to roll out yet another lousy DVD. | 11 | [

2 | Love this video!!! | I started this video almost a week ago, and already I feel like my abs and my arms are more toned then before. The instructor does a really good job of keeping you motivated. When you do this exercise(Just 8 minutes!!) the first day you will definitely feel it! I'm not one who likes to exercise, but I decided to give this a try, and I loved it! Before I know it, the time is up! The countdown clock is a nice feature so that you can see how much time you have left. The 8 min bonus arms is a nice bonus. It works for beginners up to advanced. You can do the exercises with what weight you feel comfortable. If you liked this one, you should invest in 8 min buns/legs. It works incredibly good and you really feel the burn! And with only 8 minnuts how can you go wrong! If you don't have time to do an 8 minute workout, then you just don't want to exercise! | 14 | [

2 | NORA ROBETS AT HER BEST | Wow!!! This book is incredible. It is well written, well thought out, and a must read. Nora Roberts combines her beautiful romance writing with her sensational suspense writing. The character development of the two main characters: Caroline and Tucker, is so spot in and great that you feel as though you personally know each one. The love story written about these two is tremendously sweet and sincere. All their conversations and actions are purposeful and sweet. When they finally fall in love you will not be able to help but swoon. Aside from the romance, the mystery and suspense in this novel is remarkable well written and well executed. There a twists to the plot and the characters that is just so good. I recommend this book for anyone who loves Nora Roberts and for those who need to be introduced to a great novelist. Buy it, Read It, and Pass it along :) | 12 | [

2 | From this fans point of view. | Okay I've read the oter reviews posted here and I have to say it,s cute. Cute the the way many of worked album titles into the review. Lot of very critical "fans" here. Seems everyone would be happy if Rush just kept putting out "Moving Pictures" over and over again. But I remember hearing a lot of this about "Signals" too. And it's a classic album.I for one am a fan going back "2112", the first Rush album I ever heard. I have watched and listened, and often been disapointed with various albums. Truth be told I didn't like "Signals" at first. But now I love it. Conversely I loved "Presto" right from the get go."Snakes and Arrows" is a good album, that I'm sure will grow on me. And as for taking a simpler approach, That's not Rush. And I hope it never will be. | 13 | [

1 | Simply Pathetic | House of Sand and Fog is one book that readers should always avoid. Reading it is simply wasting of time. I started reading it to find out who exactly gets the house. But the conclusion was simply disappointing. I felt like stupid to read it till the end. The first part of the book was really interesting, but when I went to the second part, it turned out to be boring than ever. And also there was too much stretching in the conclusion. Dubus was not really coming to the point. He just left it incomplete. As far as I think, Dubus just tried to show how much he was capable of saying the story from two people's point of view. Unfortunately, it was nothing but a disaster. | 11 | [

2 | So Much Fun for Everyone | Everyone loves this game. It is so much fun and there are so many fun games to use in it. It's very easy to change games and it's compact enough that I can carry it around in my purse with no problem. My 5 year old niece and my 8 year old nephew love to play games on it as well. This is my second unit. The first died after a year and a half. Thus, only 4 star on the unit. I'm not sure how long these should last, but I admit I played the heck out of it (and I'm wasn't exactly gentle with it - but I have a feeling these should be made for kids rough handling). Love the game though - that's why I purchased a new one within 2 days of the old one going kaput. I purchased this one in the metallic rose. It's very pretty and not nearly as pink as it looks in the photo - more of a deep mauve color. | 11 | [

It found one virus on my computer but would never do anything about it other than send a super super loud pig-squealing alert box up onto my screen once every minute (no exaggeration) letting me know it was there and that there was nothing that could be done. Then the really bad stuff started happenning. I wasn't able to click any actual buttons once I was online. I could enter addresses and view pages and such, but couldn't interract with any pages. Then I couldn't send messages on my IM. That was annoying. THEN I couldn't delete the danged software once I realized that is broke my life. :) It's all better now, but only because I'm wicked tricky. Someone of lesser skill would be up the proverbial creek. Stay far far away. It doesn't work and it's dangerous. Period. | 15 | [

It has bright speakers. when u turn it on,u will feel like.. u got a best one but its not. It has more treble sound it may make you to feel like it has more clarity. its just a boosted treble.Also, if you listen more than an hour in medium voulume. u will feel like annoying and irritating feel. Thats because of its bright speakers. Its not long listening iPod dock station.About BASS, if u stand or sit close to BOSE Ipod Station, you may able to feel the BASS sound. if you move out couple of feet, you wont feel the BASS sound at all. im not expecting the big home theater sound result in small ipod dock station. but it should have it own basic level bass to feel it in the 10X10 room.Im wont recommend this to my friends. its not worth to the money. you can keep this as your status symbol not for real good music | 13 | [

2 | Amazing novel | This novel came out of nowhere for me. I expected a short, punchy, satirical comedy-horror novel, and I got an epic. I couldn't believe how gripping it was, and I have no idea what the reviewer below is talking about when he calls it boring. How could you possibly be bored by this? It's not written in a deadpan style, it's dense, lurid, and descriptive, rich with interior monologue, packed with sex and craziness and horror. And those zombies, man--seriously terrifying. I also had no idea what was going to happen--the plot is entirely unpredictable. At one point a character shows up who I thought would be a major character for the rest of novel--and almost immediately gets his head cut off and eaten by zombies. Minor figures who appear in the background become major, crucial players. No one is safe, everyone is important. And remember there's always a price. | 11 | [

2 | Yukon Tracker 1x24 Goggles | I could not decide between getting a NV scope or NV goggles. Finally I decided to go with the goggles and to use a red dot scope. This way I can continue to see in the dark without having to look through a scope, and at close range all you need is a red dot on the target anyway, no need to scope it. I was sceptical about the fit and use of the goggle head-harness but it fits pretty securely and comfortably. The harness is padded, adjustable, and comes with a chin strap. These goggles really work. They allow the wearer to see fine in complete darkness. There is a bit of fisheye on the fringes of the view but I guess that is standard in NV equipment. The focus ring does allow adjustment to view out to a distance but does not magnify the object. Overall I am pleased with these and plan to stock up on extra batteries. P.S. Having night vision equipment gives you a big advantage over others w/out it and is a great force multiplier. | 12 | [

2 | More Hints At Post-apocalypse | Antrax, the title character is a sentient machine, that controls the city of Castledown. It is very smart and has lured the voyagers to it's awaiting maw. It needs magic to stay alive. After waking years after technology crumbled Antrax found a new power source: magic. It was built as the perfect weapon and ultimate protector. Maybe too perfect. It has outlived its masters but must still follow its orders. Protect Castledown at all costs.It is this machine that Walker knows that the strongest magic is held. But there is no way of extruding it. So he is seduced by the sentient being. Meanwhile, the Ilse Witch, now revealed as Grianne Ohmsford has captured Bek who claims to be her dead brother. He knows that the only way to save her is by using the Sword of Shannara. His only way of escaping is Truls Rohk a strange but undaunting protector. It all culminates with a conflict between the Ilse Witch and Walker Boh. But a new enemy is on his way the Morgawr. | 15 | [

1 | The Matrix- Unloaded | This was a pretty bad movie. It might be good if I had never seen the first one, but this was just a bad movie. I just don't get how it sucked so much. It wasn't even worth watching. This movie was overrated. Same with the videogame "Enter the Matrix". Enter the Matrix exits the Matrix and Reloaded is unloaded. Both were horrible. I'm anxiously awaiting the third one hoping it will make this one better, but I kind of doubt it. I think it was the abrupt ending that ruined it most. If you haven't seen this movie wait until November around the time the third movie comes out to watch this one. THen it might not seem so bad, but I'm not sure. | 12 | [

1 | Stay away from this one..... | I'd heard some good things about this series so I decided to read the first book. I couldn't have been more disappointed. It was so boring that I barely finished it. Come on now! There's only so much of this femenist stuff I can handle. I can't remember reading a book where women were any more superior and stronger than the men. Yes, women are strong and equal, but to make them so invincible and anti-man is very unbelievable and gave the entire book a sour taste. I like books that portray strong women but not superwomen. Come on now! Also, the magic system got boring after the first couple chapters. The only interesting characters that were slightly realistic were Lerris and his horse. At least they provided some entertainment. I give this book a lonely one star. | 13 | [

1 | Not up to STANDARDS | First, let me state I am a HUGE Stephen King fan. I own most of his books and read/reread/rereread them time and again. But I was sorely disappointed with From A Buick 8. There were times when I wanted to just put it down and move on. It did not have have the gripping storyline I have come to expect. It did not have characters I was really interested in. It did not have compelling dialogue and was more of a standard kind of story with some science fiction added in. I have read Stephen's comments as regards this book and he is right. I am not sure if it was done to satisfy a contract or to fill in the gap while finishing the Dark Tower series. In any event I am sure it is not a book I will be picking up again any time soon. Not on my recommended reading list for anyone, least of all a Stephen King fan... | 11 | [

2 | I love these | Ever buy a fluffy pillow and a month later it is flat and lumpy and you can't get comfortable on it ever again? You won't have that problem with these. This pillow is for people who like FIRM. I like a very firm mattress and a very firm pillow. I have had almost NO NECK PROBLEMS since using buckwheat pillows. I've been using them for 5 years. I purchased more buckwheat to fill the pillows more, but most people seems to like them (what I consider) half empty.I do not understand people who say they are loud. There is a gentle sound when you move the pillow, but I've never noticed it while sleeping. I also do not understand people complaining about the smell. I have a very sensitive nose, and I have never noticed a smell except when emptying the cases to wash them. I do notice a VERY SLIGHT grain scent. Although I love natural scents, so I would probably enjoy that smell even if I smelled it at night, which I do not. | 12 | [

1 | Very Dissapointing | This was the first book that I read by Catherine Coulter, and I am scolding myself for almost stopping with it. I have read many of her books now and I can't help but wonder if she had another person write this. The begining seems interesting, but it falls flat about the second chapter in. Mac is in the hospital, almost too weak to feed himself, but then he just sits up and leaves. But it gets better. In the rainforest, there are gun shot wounds and no food and the sexually aroused Mac, but miraculously, they endup at a Club Med. Now this may have all been okay, but it was written in first person from a man's point of veiw. Where did this come from? The love story and plot seemed to be thrown in at the end. The mystery was lacking, and it wasn't very suspenseful. If you want a good book by Coulter, try the first three or any of her historical romances. .... | 12 | [

I was blown away with lifelike characters and the density of the storyline. All of the characters were connected somehow and I am so glad that someone has shown an example of how good men are instead of depicting us as no good dogs. And where is Paula? I want a piece of her. She was scum. This book had me battling with my emotions over and over again. I related to her daughter so much because I had to go through some of the same things as a young boy. This is the type of material we want to read. Believable stuff that we can actually relate to. Thank you Adrienne. | 14 | [

2 | A GROUP WITH A FUTURE | Chris Martin of Coldplay is easily one of the finest male vocalists to hit the scene in the last few years. He has emotion, smooth delivery, and a good range. His voice is what makes these songs extraordinary. Not to mention the musical arrangements and productions are spectacular. The over all feel is somewhat Pink Floydian- but more so in a pop music sense. The songs are light and easy to like. "Yellow" contains lyrics which put a good feeling in your soul. "Trouble" is seen occassionally on MTV. All the songs have an otherworldly mellow mood to them with strong guitar solos. All in all I'd say Coldplay has a future in the music business. If they keep on making music like this they will probably be around for a very long time. | 11 | [

2 | Great typing program! | I have been using the Mavis Beacon typing program (which is also great) for a while. I got bored doing the same things so I purchased this program. I'm glad I did. It took about 7 minutes to load, but I won't have to use the disk again. By the way, I use Windows 2000 OS, and it didn't crash my pc.This program has about 10 games (I play with 5 of them). It also has a magazine section that lets you choose from 9 different topics. Once you choose the topic, it gives you at least 40 other titles under that topic to choose from. Each title has at least 3 pages of information for you to practice typing.I don't use the beginning typer's lessons. I just finished taking a class that taught me the basics, and the basics now bore me. I use this program to improve my typing skills, and it seems to be working.My analysis: Buy this program if you want to learn how to type or improve your typing skills. It will be one of the best investments you've ever made. | 11 | [

2 | Adorable Toy | This is an extremely cute toy. The little pigs, all color coordinated with their respective houses and numbers on their chests from smallest to biggest, are adorable. The pigs squeak when squeezed, the only thing that my son seems to like about this toy. Now, I refuse to hold that against this set. Possibly my son is too young for this toy, having received it for his first Christmas? Maybe he just simply doesn't like it? However, I can see where it could be a very engaging little toy. Though I haven't tried washing the houses yet, I love the fact that they can go in the washing machine. Having 5 dogs and all the dog hair that goes along with them, having a toy that can be thrown in the washing machine is a dream. My complaint with the toy? One of the little pigs came with the paint chipped off a part of his belly which is only getting worse with time, even though my son really doesn't play with them. Aside from that, the set seems quite durable. | 12 | [

1 | This is a (bad) joke! | I like other Kathy Smith's videos, but this balance ball workout is terrible... it's a joke! A bad joke. It's even funny to see Kathy's ball is too small for her!!! The routine is extremely boring and the guy in the video is mostly ignored by Kathy. I feel bad for him. Whenever he says anything she seems uncomfortable and just keep going without paying attention to him at all. And as he is shorter than her they look so funny. This really seems a sketch of a bad comedy or something. There are plenty of much better balance ball workouts out there. I only paid $.85 cents for this one but wish I would have bought a Kit-Kat instead. What a shame. | 11 | [

1 | Not a Bourne Movie - don't waste your time | A lot of good actors go to waste in a Bourne wannabe...they cleverly tie the beginning of this movie in with the ending of Ultimatum like the two are happening at the same time. Rachel Weisz tries very hard to act here but doesn't. Also you don't really understand what the plot is except for...uh...they're trying to create supersoldiers? Right, it might be believable to 8-year-old boys. When CIA finds out where Aaron Cross is they send an asset after him who is hinted as being "without emotion". How'd they manage to remove emotion from somebody? Brainwashing? Lobotomy? Where do they get these guys? Worse thing is, they leave the ending open for another movie. Nooooooo!!!!! For me the Bourne series ended with Ultimatum. Don't bother seeing this one. | 13 | [
"A lot of good actors go to waste in a Bourne wannabe...they cleverly tie the beginning of this movie in with the ending of Ultimatum like the two are happening at the same time.",
"Rachel Weisz tries very hard to act here but doesn't.",
"Also you don't really understand what the plot is except for...uh...they're trying to create supersoldiers?",
"Right, it might be believable to 8-year-old boys.",
"When CIA finds out where Aaron Cross is they send an asset after him who is hinted as being \"without emotion\".",

2 | Great product. Glides smooth and irons well | I bought this to replace an old GE iron I was using. I mainly use my irons for casual button down shirt, some slacks, and jeans, nothing heavier or more delicate than that. My old iron didn't steam too well, and didn't glide over fabrics easily. This T-Fal FV4379003 Ultraglide was a vast improvement! Spending a little bit more was worth it for a quality product. This iron glides smoothly over cotton and denim, gets rid of wrinkles easily, and puts out plenty of steam. Also comes with a little plastic steam cup to pour with. It heats up quickly, and has a lot of different fabric settings, most of which I don't use, but it's good to know they're available. The Easycord system keeps the cord away from the soleplate, and the auto shut-off feature is handy (when the unit is upright) if I leave the iron on. The cord seems long enough, though I do miss the retractable cord feature on my old GE iron. Overall a great product! | 11 | [

1 | Don't bother.... | Got the B40 as a gift after talking incessantly about wanting one (or one like it).That was about 18 months ago (curiously - not really -just outside the warranty). It crapped out today. Hit the go button for it to heat up, the red light went on...but nothing.After a few smacks on the side..it managed to heat up. I made a cup and told my son he could make his now. But no....nothing. Nada.Got out the trusty Mr. Coffee drip maker.I don't know what my friend paid for this...probably somewhere between $100-$150. It is now a $100-$150 paper weight.POS. Clearly quality control problems.I have a smaller one in my office at work (another gift by the same person). That one is only about a 8 months old. Expecting it to go Tango Uniform in a few months.I've hyped up this machine and it's sibling at work for months now. Even talked a colleague into buying one.DO NOT BUY ONE OF THESE!!!!!! | 12 | [

2 | Perfect for an extra long cat! | My recently adopted cat is part Maine Coon. He only weighs 10 pounds but he is soooo long (think NBA player four short feet) that he over hung the old litter box and #%&@ would land on the step out mat instead. YIKES! I loved my old litter box that rolled and had a drawer (no scooping required)but they don't make them long enough for his guy. My research recommended the Van Ness Extra Large for big and long cats. It works perfectly. The bottom is deep enough to put 4-6 inches of litter so the bottom of the pan does not get caked and stays clean even without liner bags. I removed the door and don't use it. The price here at Amazon was incredible so I had little to lose. I also like the pearlized white color since the box is in the laundry room and it blends in with the washer & dryer. Sam had no trouble getting used to having more space and hit the floor mat since. We are both very happy with it. | 12 | [

2 | Excalibur's Defeat .... New Author On The Rise... | Good mystery. Face pace. Quick read. Mr. Wright "ain't" playing around. Most of the characters are pretty well fleshed out. Never thought I enjoyed political thrillers too much; but, I must confess I enjoyed this one immensely. I guess what enhanced it even more was the African American "flava" that was flowing throughout the book. Ms. Filmore is an Intelligent sista. Definitely, held my interest. Maybe only compliant was that it was too short. I wanted to learn more about certain characters. Overall, definitely, it should be on a summer reading list. Not too heavy; but, not too light, either. Just right.... Hey I'm so proud to see fellow brotha's and sista's doing their thing with writing. Much continued success in your future endeavors and I can't wait until the next one.... | 15 | [

1 | Cash Grab For Echo Bridge | Attention Amazon.com customers....1. Avoid this release like the plague. This Blu-ray Disc only has the movie and nothing else. LITERALLY! No subtitles, no trailer, no anything.2. The picture is subpar for a high-definition transfer. Not to mention, it's not in the original aspect ratio. H20 was filmed in 2.35.1. This version's ratio was changed to 1.78.1.3. The audio is pathetic. You don't even get surround sound. You get a pitiful DTS 2.0 Stereo track. The DVD at least offered us a 5.1 mix. I thought Blu-ray Disc was supposed to be an upgrade from DVD?Save your money and avoid this title. Echo Bridge has a reputation for butchering films and they did themselves justice with this one. Until we as consumers stand up and quit buying this garbage of a release, they will never give us the quality that we deserve. The links below will give you a little more information concerning this release.[...][...] | 17 | [
