2 | great diaper cover | These are great! the snaps work forever and dont get all fuzzed up like hook and loop/Velcro. I bought 3 size large for my 15lb baby knowing they would be huge. I wanted them to last me a while as she grew. There is a whole line of snaps so I figured I would just snap the snaps tight, since she was small. It works great! These things are industral strength. I only have the three of them, and rarely use desposable. I wash one each day and have been doing this way for 2 months now. Just throw Bummis in with regular laundry. Very easy very clean A+ | 11 | [

1 | NOT a Remastered cd! The word "enhanced" distorts true issue | This is a WARNING to anyone that is about to buy this specific version of Somewhere in Time cd. It is NOT a remastered cd! This issue came from 1998. When I bought mine 3 years ago, it was advertised as "ENHANCED" [DIGITALLY REMASTERED]. This is a total lie and a waste of money. The CD you want was produced in 2002. I bought three other "enhanced" Iron Maiden cd's and I got scammed on those as well. The packaging on the 1998 and 2002 are identical. Make sure you buy the 2002. Maiden pisses me off for putting out way too many repeat cd's of the same material. They use distorted lawyer words like "enhanced" and make different song compilation cd's. It has gotten ridiculous. FYI "enhanced" means a couple of videos added... Read the cd case and it mentions you should have Windows 98!!! | 14 | [

1 | I wish I could give it no stars. | This controller is garbage; do not buy it. As you can see from the reviews here, it appears that about 2 out of every 9 or 10 actually work. Not exactly the greatest odds. And it wouldn't surprise me if the positive reviews were written by people who work for Performance, the makers of the piece of junk. I've tried everything from detection programs to various hardware, to simply following the instructions that were included with the joystick. NOTHING WORKS. A waste of money, it is not compatible at all with Windows 98. And since that's the program most people have, I would definitely advise that you stay away from this controller. It will not work without certain hardware, and I agree with the other reviewer about checking out Driverguide's message boards. There are hundreds of people looking for hardware that will make this thing work, and no one seems to have it. Try using something made by a better company, like Sony or Microsoft. | 11 | [

1 | HATE IT -- If I could give it NO stars I would have | I was VERY excited to buy this. The good reviews def. outweighed the bad reviews with this product. So when I finally got it, charged it and used it, well tried to use it I WAS SO MAD!!!!! Not only is it HEAVY but the suction is less then ZERO! I thought well maybe I'm doing something wrong, actually I was hoping that I was doing something wrong...NO I wasn't. My husband gave it a shot then my sister gave it a shot. This vacuum is WORSE then AWFUL! It's TERRIBLE!!! Believe me I'm not looking for something like a Dyson, I was looking for something similar to the Swiffer. BIG MISTAKE! Don't waste your money. If I could have given it NO stars I would have but you have to at least give a product one star. I'm going to buy another Swiffer. | 14 | [

2 | The best toy ever. | My mother-in-law is crazy over Fisher Price and so am I. This is just one of the many Fisher Price toys she has given my son, but it is one of the best! I got it when my son was about 6 months old, and believe it or not, he's over two now and he still loves it. He keeps discovering new ways to enjoy it. At first, he loved throwing it down while I was stacking it, (a lot of fun, from a child's point of view), then he learned to drive them along the kitchen floor, and stacking and hiding, playing with the different activities on each piece, etc. There's just so much to do with it. They got lots of banging around, but they're in perrrrfect condition. They're colorful and cute. Recently, I was amazed to see how perfectly he stacked them and then drove along the floor with all cars stacked! This toy is worth at least twice the money. Hooray for Fisher Price! | 11 | [

1 | terrible | ah, the ac/dc of the metalcore scene. same album one after another, they should have just released a 4 disc set at once then quit. there is no improvement, there is no change. this is as close to nu metal as it gets in the metalcore scene. just because there so happens to be special guests from some of the premiere swedish metal bands doesnt make it anymore credible(matter of fact it makes the band seem really desperate.) are they talented? sure, i guess. but just because you can play fast doesnt constitute a level of possible enjoyment(i.e. the berzerker.) the black dahlia murder is so much better that i don't even know where to start. at least TBDM have solos & varied vocals, unlike this joke of a 'metal' band. darkest hour brings the suck & they bring it hardcore. the only saddening thing is that they're so popular & will most likely continute to make records...there is no god. | 13 | [

1 | almost all chipped in less than a year | Before Easter last year I decided to get rid of the plain white cheap dishes that I had bought 13 years ago from Marshall Fields. I thought it would be nice to have a little color and the Studio Nova dishes had all kinds of great colors. I was sure they would serve me well for years to come (as my previous cheap dishes had) so I didn't mind spending $65 on a box of four place setting. I bought service for twelve. I even bought serving pieces, salt and pepper shaker etc.... When the first couple of pieces chipped I thought perhaps I was careless (although my last dishes never had this problem). I took greater care with them and yet they countinued to chip. Less than a year later I only have 2 salad plates, 3 dinner dishes, a salt shaker, a sugar bowl and 3 soup bowls. What a complete waste of my money. Never again will I make this mistake. Thank goodness I kept my old dishes. | 11 | [

2 | HIlarious | There are times in your life when you need something funny to happen. What happened to me was Leave it to Cleavage! From the moment I picked up the book I had a grin on my face. That's okay on an airplane, but to laugh aloud did cause curious stares. I simply held up the book. People saw the title and nodded. This book is thoroughly enjoyable. I couldn't put it down. From the time the heroine found out her philandering, women's underwear wearing husband had taken off with the family fortune, to the final moments when she saves Truro, her home town, saves the family business and gets the man--the town sheriff, I'm hooked and laughing. Wendy Wax has come into her own as a comedy writer. I can't wait for the next book! | 11 | [

2 | Great pressure canner | After reading the reviews for the presto 32 qt pressure canner I have to be honest; I was leery about it because one buyer had a bad experience. With that said, I took into account that of all the reviews there was only one instance of trouble so I purchased it that night. All I can say is wow! I am so happy with this canner; I was using a large kettle and canning via water bath. All though the pressure canner takes a little more time and a little supervision it is well worth that bit of time. As soon as it arrived I opened it and found the book. After reading through and making sure I understood not only how to use but what precautions should be taken I started canning! This unit is very easy to use; I have canned in the pressure canner twice and have had it less than a week! This is a great value and will pay for itself in a matter of weeks! If you enjoy canning this is a great buy. As long as you read the instructions and use as it is intended you will have no troubles. | 11 | [

1 | I recieved this used not brand new | I bought this safe approximately two weeks ago with one day shipping. It was supposed to be brand new but it came in as used. I noticed scratch marks at the key section of the safe. I kept the safe due to the fact I have bought a couple of handguns. It is a great safe for what I am using it for. Easy instructions on how to use the digital combinations. I have no problem with the safe and it works really well at this moment. However, there are instructions on how to break into particular digital safe on youtube and I tried it myself and it did not work, maybe I'm not a great burglar. In conclusion, it is a great safe for keeping handguns or important documents safe. I a m satisfied with it but not with the condition I received it. I got the safe for 70 dollars and it was 20 dollar cheaper than walmart. | 11 | [

2 | DEVIL ROCKS | This Devil rocks! To those who have wondered what McCartney's loss would do to his music, wonder no longer and Run Devil Run to the Shopping cart and put this in your pipe and smoke it. It's great. The band and singers are fabulously tight-yet-loose and honorable mention goes to David Gilmour. So what if there are only four Macca tunes...That's four tunes better off than we were! McCartney-I've been a fan for 35 years. Did I expect a lot? Hell, yes! Did I get it? HELLEN(Hellen, helen) Hellen Wheels! (yes!) Similar to the 'Russian' album, but with more obscure rock n roll classics. I like that though, because it brings to light some wonderful old songs that otherwise might've gone unheard. Paul's voice is in full flight! You know, the old electrified tomcat! Buy it today. | 16 | [

2 | Dream Street: A New View of Pop | Sure, all of us like the Backstreet Boys, N'Sync, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, and the rest of the old gang. But tired of seeing those flashy, know-it-all past-teens? Well, here's something different. For a change, you could just sit back and relax and not worry about your parent's suspicious glances. Dream Street, unlike recent pop stars, are...all clean. The music has a variety of rhythms to match your moods. This new 5-boy band's music is suprisingly smooth, whether it be "Gotta Get the Girl", "Feel the Rain", or "I Say Yeah". All of them display a diverse set of emotions; wanting, happiness, despair. It's all cuss-free, which let parents take a break from yelling at their kids, making them turn the stereo down. If you ask me, Dream Street is way better than any other CD's I've heard. It's a whole new view of pop music, and I advise all of you buyers to check it out! | 11 | [

1 | Another Bonfire--Not | I just loved Bonfire of the Vanities. I read it several years ago, and still think of it often (Master of the Universe!!! I have days like that!!). I was positively relishing the thought of A Man in Full. I bought it and deliberately kept myself from reading it for a couple of weeks just so I could look forward to it. Then when I finally started in--Yuck. I put it down in the middle in disgust. The characters were so completely unappealing that I didn't want to spend time with them. I forced myself to pick the book up again and finish. The last 300 pages were not so bad. Maybe if the book were a little shorter it would be more fun. | 11 | [

1 | Can you give 0 stars? | This is one of the worst book purchases I have ever made. This thing is USELESS! First of all it is not a book. It is actually a calendar. Its "substance" consists of small entries on each date, sort of almanac style. The topics deal overwhelmingly with trivia from sports and entertainment. There is practically nothing of importance recorded on this calendar. You get no idea what the society or the life was like from it unless you are interested in sports or popular culture. I wanted a BOOK with summaries of important news events, trends in politics, economy, science, the arts, demographics, etc. It is nothing at all like that. Also there is no index, so you can't look anything up. You just have to browse through looking for things, which usually aren't there. It was a TOTAL disappointment. | 13 | [

1 | Shallow indeed compared to the Book. | The book has been gutted to produce an easy to direct and promote screenplay. Some of the other reviewers have said that two thirds of the story are missing. I'd say more like three quarters deleted. No real special effects to muck things up.After youve read the excellent novel-- this movie's production feels like rich kids at play--on a budget. Is it horrible? No. Is it good? No. You may like this movie, of course. However, if you love this movie, it would usually be out of sentiment for it's treatment of the time period in which it takes place. A remake is already in order. Stephen King's coattails must be a great ride, all the way to the bank. | 12 | [

2 | a good track | This track might not be the most positive of records, but as far as hiphop goes this song is tame. The beat is ILL. The rhymes are decent. And to the person that was kinda offended, relax for a moment. This is obviously a sex song. A very sexy one at that. And it works. This a song for adults, it isnt the artist's fault that it may be accessable to younger kids. This song is for adults who enjoy sex, really good hot, raw sex that yes sometimes hurts. Besides, its an expression, ever heard the song "Hurts so good?"-John Cougar Mellencamp? I've had sex that was so good that hurt, have you? | 12 | [

1 | B-side myself | I can't believe that the Beatles had the nerve to release such a load of garbage. As a Beatles fan, it hurts me. I felt nauseaous the first time I listened to this album all the way through. There are 30 songs on the White Album. Maybe three of them are of the usual, high Beatles quality. I'm so sick and tired of bands releasing albums that aren't worthy of themselves. And the Beatles started it all with this travesty. Songs like "Good Night" and "Long, Long, Long" have no business being on anything except a b-sides album. It's shocking that they ever released this whole thing. Beatles fans shouldn't even bother to defend this album. We should stand as far back from it as possible. Oh, well. Obladi, Oblada, life goes on. But if you want a real double album, check out the Smashing Pumpkins' "Melancholy and the Infinite Sadness." | 14 | [

1 | Refried fava beans | When I heard the hype about this book I was suspicious and borrowed it from a friend rather than plunk down good money. Wise move. This has got to be one of the worst debuts I've ever seen and I read a couple mysteries a month. Cardboard characters? Try Saran Wrap. Lazy plotting? This woman's main cultural reference seems to be teen slasher flicks. It takes a really talented writer to make a serial killer story fresh, and this one is as stale as old fava beans. (a clown mask? puleeze!) And the ending is so dumb I laughed out loud. A part of me feels sorry for the author because I don't see how she's ever gonna live up to the big bucks and hype over this book. She had a "good" concept (ie Hollywood book) here at least. She won't have that crutch next outing. If there is one. Can't believe a publisher paid seven figures for this tripe. | 16 | [

1 | Some serious problems | I just finished the book and I noticed some serious problems. As someone who has been lifting weights for several years, I have a real problem with his lack of warm-up or cool-downs. No one in their right mind would just pick up a weight and start lifting. That is a prescription for disaster! As far as the aerobics go, I like the idea of the intervals, but 20 minutes? Study after study has shown that you need to have your heart rate up for 30 minutes or more. I'll keep my aerobic workouts longer, thank you. Finally, his nutrition information. Where, in the grand plan, is 5-9 servings of fruits and vegetables a day? You need the fiber, not just the nutrients (which are available in the supplements?)

2 | Absolutely Wonderful! | I read all the reviews and finally decided on the VillaWare V3000 Classic Waffler. I made waffles for the first time on my new VillaWare this morning. Everyone was so right! I expected for first time use, that my first couple of waffles would come out either sticking to the grill, not quite done, or overdone. Well, I was so surprise when the whistle blew and I opened up the waffler maker to find a perfectly done waffle. I have a big family so I had to make 12 waffles. Every single waffle came out perfect!! I love the fact that it notifies me when each waffle is done. My family loved the waffles. It was quick and so easy and clean up was a breeze. I am sooo glad I purchased the VillaWare V3000. I never thought I could find the perfect waffle maker, but this is definitely it!! | 13 | [

1 | Waffle Iron for the Masochist | I would recommend this product to anyone who loves the ticky torture of cleaning grooves, hinges and other impossible to reach places. Overflow is directed first to the back where I used a nutpick to scrape. Batter still in hinge. Use was maddening. I feel my blood pressure going up just thinking about it. This is my third waffle iron, first one I had this problem. Using slightly less batter produces holes in the waffles.Also, it produces waffles the same thickness as Eggo. Not Belgian thickness at all. Made four batches, four fills each to allow for learning curve: to no avail. Couldn't clean it up enough to return it. This one is a multi-faceted stinker. | 11 | [

2 | Not Their Roots, But Not Too Bad | I picked this CD up yesterday and have listened through it a couple times. I'm a die-hard Metallica fan and have been since their early days of Kill 'Em All and Ride the Lightning. They've definitely picked up the speed again which is a sign of their original roots and what made them one of the premier metal bands in the world. The music does take some getting used to, and it will surely grow on you as you listen. Don't expect old school Metallica, however the new sound is quite unique. More Hammett riffs and solos would have been nice as well as a few hooks here and there, but hey, this is Metallica and they can't be touched. Check out the included DVD. This was phenomenal to watch them record the entire album in the studio, in order of the songs on the CD. Great buy, but I just can't find it in me to give 5 stars. Pick it up though....you're sure to enjoy the new sounds of the greatest metal band ever....METALLICA!! | 11 | [

1 | Oy!!!! | I recently saw Mandy Patinkin in concert, and absolutely loved him. I immediately bought his CD "Kidults" and it too was great, so I thought "Oscar & Steve" would be a good addition as my next Mandy acquisition, especially since it recieved such great reviews here.Oy, what a stinker!!! Are the people who gave "Oscar & Steve" five stars deaf? Mr. Patinkin was not in good vocal form when he recorded this. There's a gigantic chasm between his upper and lower registers. The keys that the songs are arranged in are bizarre. If the high notes were any higher, dogs would come running, and the low notes have a comical, bass-baritone, cartoon-villain sound. In between, the voice has a vibrato wide enough to drive a truck through it. Add to this the fact that every song is dreadfully over-acted. Was M.P.ill when he recorded this, or what? And what on earth did the producer think when he listened to the tracks?Buy at your own risk! | 11 | [

2 | Excellent movie | I'm getting tired of people complaining about camera bouncing, amateurish shots, etc. That was the whole point of the movie! Unedited shots made by the documentary filmakers (students) themselves.I thought this film was wonderful! Too many films now adays rely too much on blood and gore. This film made you think, use your imagination, much as you would in the old horror films of the past. No special FX, no big names, just an interesting premise and good acting.I think that because the ending left so many unanswered questions, that is the reason that so many people disliked it. There was no closure. But, hey, not many movies (not since the empire strikes back <is Darth Vader Luke's father, etc>) have a movie left the watcher hanging the way this one did. And, love it or hate it, how many will go see the sequel? I know I will :).Note: For some other interesting movies, see The Last Broadcast or The Uninvited. Both good movies. | 11 | [

But I came back crying after a week and a half. Now I plan to stay longer, beacause of this.This book includes all the basics of survival. I'm sure there are more detailed ones, but they don't have the basics. This is not really good for a reading book, but it is good for reaserch, as well as training.

2 | Stunning | The most intense, clever, funny take on the Jekyll and Hyde story I've ever seen to date. There were only two things that kept this DVD from being five stars, one was the language. When watched on television the language was edited, on the DVD however the F-word is dropped over and over in the first few episodes, personally I thought they over did it. The second reason for my four rather than five star rating was the ending. While I understand that they planned on making a second season, they never did, so we're left with a cliffhanger. A word of caution, this is not an excited, "Ooooh I want to see more!!!" Cliffhanger, it's more of an annoyed, "What?! You can't end like that!" Cliffhanger.Despite those two things this was an amazing mini-series. The acting was top notch, James Nesbitt was supreme as both his Jekyll (Jackman) and Hyde , never has a psychopath been so fun. You get everything in this, humor, suspense, love, tragedy, and two great characters who happen to be the same person! | 11 | [

1 | Stick with the original and you won't be disappointed | My family loves "A Christmas Story". When I heard there was going to be a sequel released directly to DVD, I knew I had to buy it. When looking at the description on Amazon, I noticed several negative reviews. Upon reading them, I noticed some were written even before the DVD was released, so I figured we would give the movie a chance. Boy, were we disappointed! None of us liked it. The actors tried too hard to be like the original characters and, bottom line, it was poor acting. Some scenes, while a little funny, were too far-fetched to be believable. And considering it was a family film, the profanity was unacceptable. Unlike the original movie where the father was always humorously spouting off obscenities (and you really couldn't understand them), the swearing here seemed forced. Save yourself time and money. Don't bother buying or even renting this movie; stick with the original and you won't be disappointed. | 12 | [

2 | Great results; good construction. | I saw an online video demonstration of a similar product which sparked my curiosity. I purchased this item from Amazon.com because I wanted a way to make low calorie/fat treats for the summer. It works as described. Compared to other similar devices, the pops are more substantial in size, permitting you to incorporate pieces of fruit that can make the treat more interesting. It has an aluminum top that lays loosely onto the plastic mold. This top includes slots that hold popsicle sticks in place while the pop is freezing. I don't know why this part isn't plastic also. The results are very good. There are two "tricks" to using the device successfully. One is to let the pops partially freeze before inserting the sticks. This lets you control placement so the sticks don't sink/fall all the way to the top end of the pop. The other trick is to run warm water over and around the entire assembly to release the top and pops. | 12 | [

2 | Hot Water at Work | So I bought this thinking it would be a great way to heat water for tea at work. I tested it out at home. It takes about 6 minutes, when full, to heat the water to a boil, which is slightly longer than I expected. However, I can get 2-3 cups of tea out of one boil(mind you my cups are larger than 8 ounces). It definitely heats the water thoroughly, almost to the point of being too hot. I also get pure water with no unusual tastes from the tea kettle. Also, it doesn't dribble when I pour the water into my cup.This model is also relatively quiet. It sounds just like boiling water. It doesn't whistle or rattle or make any other noises. This is important to me, since I don't need to alert my whole office that I'm heating water.One downside is the kettle shakes a little bit when the water comes to a boil, which concerns me. So far that hasn't caused a problem. | 11 | [

2 | Great Buy | I had caught the tail end of this concert when it was on tv. I enjoyed what I saw and heard, and It was definately what I had expected. Very good singing by Toney B's guest and the incomperable Toney B was excellent as always!!!!!!!! He still has his pipes at 80!!!!! Totally blew me away!!!! The concert is more of a mock tv show. Though I did like this format, it lacked the enthusiasm of those old dean martin tv shows. The director should have had more interaction with Tony and his guest singers. It would have been fun to see him talking about jazz music, with the modern day crooner, Michael Buble , for instance. All in all this is a great dvd definately worth buying, with the performances with Christina Agulara and Michael Buble standing out!!!! | 11 | [

2 | Please STOP CRYING!! | I'm just on my way out the door to grab my copy of the eagerly awaited Indiana Jones Box & thought I'd see what some reviewers think of the transfers & the box as a whole. All I can read is how Lucas has ripped people off again & the crappy cardboard box the movies came in. Seriously!? Ok; I too am sick of the studios ripping consumers & movie lovers off with over-priced, underwhelming box-sets that don't deliver on the quality we expect. But as far as just releasing the first 3 movies; it only makes sense to include all 4 movies in an Indiana Jones box set! I don't think the studios care if some already own the 4th movie. That's what ebay is for. Or just wait til the movies come out individually like the Godfather trilogy or Die Hard. Since I already own Alien maybe they should offer a box set with just Aliens-Alien Resurrection. That makes perfect sense! 5-stars all the way! BTW I didn't buy Crystal Skull just for this reason! | 12 | [

2 | shaken, not stirred | I only have a minor nit about this product. That is, why clutter up a nice piece of equipment like this with selected drink recipes? It would have looked nicer if it only included measurements. Though, the measurements are marginally useful.Here is why you might want to buy this shaker over the shakers with integral tops that you are looking at:- You can mix drinks with a hearty shake due to the increased capacity that the tumbler portion gives you. This chills a drink faster. Depending on the ingredients, it can make them frothier.- The rubber seal fits well. It does not leak. It is much easier to separate than a metal shaker with a metal top.- You can strain the ice without the need of a strainer. (Hold the shaker horizontally and slightly separate the two halves.)- The tumbler fits inside the metal bottom for convenient storage.- It came in a nice case. Thus, it is a good choice for a gift. | 11 | [

1 | Magnavox makes crappy products. | I purchased the MRD200 a year ago. After 10 months the audio would cut out when watching television, listening to radio, or playing a CD. No audio through the speakers or through the earphone jack. After a while it would return. The problem got worse and worse so I called Magnavox support and they said I would get a replacement if I shipped the unit to their exchange center in Tennessee. It cost me $61.00 via UPS, no RMA, no refund for shipping. Two weeks later I received a replacement, an upgrade actually, to the MRD210. I set it up and it works fine EXCEPT when watching a television program. With both the MRD's audio and the TV's audio on there is a delay that causes an echo. It doesn't happen all the time, it drifts in and out. After 15 minutes on-line with Magnavox's support I learn THIS IS NORMAL! The MRD200 didn't do it. I can't imagine this is normal, let alone acceptable. I won't be buying Magnavox products in the future. | 14 | [

1 | can I rate it less than 1 star? | Where to begin? The writer seems to feel that it is important to end every sentence with an exclamation point! or to italicize every other! word to give! it that extra! punch! What happened to using good writing style to ensure that the reader is properly motivated to turn the page? Never mind the fact that falling into antarctic water would pretty much kill a normal person within minutes, these guys are swimming around like they're in the tropics. Never mind the fact that there has never been a recorded instance of a killer whale attacking/eating a human, this pod is eating everyone in sight. Elite commandoes devise entertaining ways to kill their adversaries (the way the Penguin and Joker always tried to off Batman & Robin)instead of using their training to kill quickly and efficiently. Far-fetched can be good fiction but this was beyond trash. | 11 | [

2 | Another fun one from Kylie | Kylie has come up with some fun and interesting songs on her latest album. I was surprised by a few of them, and I must say it's not a one listen album. You must play it a few times to really get into the groove of it, and then you're hooked. I especially love Promises because of it's uplifting beat. You have to give her credit for constantly changing and trying new sounds. Personally I would be dissapointed if she kept making the same kind of music- but true fans know that's not her style. She keeps the music fresh on this release. Her voice is very enticing, as heard on Loving Days. Some have said that the music on this album is too 'European' to reach into the North American market. All I have to say to that is, a whole lot of people may miss out on new sounds and great music that is found on Body Language. One side note- please Kylie don't remix all the songs on this album so we have to go buy another one. It's very frustrating! | 12 | [

1 | Okay, but what does it have to do with racing? | I bought this game because my son likes cars. But really, this game has nothing to do with cars. It is a "matching" type of game. You just quickly put cards in stacks that don't match any other card already in the stack either by color or item. Whoever does this the quickest with the least mistakes wins."Top Speed" isn't a bad game. And it is about speed. But the game could have been about bugs or horses or anything. My son had fun playing it a few times, but it quickly loses its charm. That is no doubt why it is so cheap.I have three other games by this manufacturer that are great--that my kids want to play all the time. "Top Speed" just isn't one of those great ones. And, other than the pictures on the cards, it really has nothing to do with automobile racing or even cars for that matter. Okay for the few dollars it cost though. | 13 | [

2 | Harlemm Lee aka Gerry Woo | The problem with Harlemm Lee's lastest cd is the same as his first album, the material. Harlemm has a great voice maybe Broadway or Las Vegas would better suit his talents. His 1st album "Listen to my Heart Beat" came out in 1987. There was a local talent tv show on CH.4 in Detroit back in the day forgot the name of the show been awhile. He was the people's choice. Harleem went by the name Gerry Woo. Same singing style and everything of course he had more hair. The best song on the 1st album was a cover of "Hey There Lonely Girl". There were three other good songs on the first album "How Long", "Almond Eyes" and "Help Yourself". I think he would be better off doing gospel. I was one of the few people to buy the first album Amazon has it at zShops. | 11 | [

2 | better than the sequels | This book was took some of the best articles and advise on drawing,writing, and inking from Wizard magazine and placed them in one neat volume. It was a great idea. It sold very well. Too well! Because the masterminds at Wizard decided to make several sequels to this book. The only problem is that they aren't sequels there the same book! Broken down in various chapters. Oh they have added a new chapter here and there. However, many of the same article and advise are cut and pasted in the follow-up books. Then they go about making this book go out of print. So if you find this book buy it! Don't waste your time buying the other books with repeat info. Or spending more for them when it was originally all in one volume. | 13 | [

2 | Maniac Magee | Jerry Spinelli wrote this supreme novel Maniac Magee. I liked this book because it was interesting and daring. There was some boring parts but over all this was a good book. During Maniac's time there was a color barrier in Two Mills. He ran 200 miles from Bridgeport to Two Mills. He ended up on the black side known as the East End. The whites were on the West End. Maniac was daring enough to not only stay there but also live on the East End with a family called the Beales. They were a good family but Maniac soon left them in search of another family. Will Maniac ever find a family as good as the Beales or will he not even find a family? Legend has it that since Maniac was fast he once raced a train "on one rail" and beat the it to the park. See Maniacs depressing life go by as you read this novel. I recommend this book to anyone who likes to cuddle up and read a good book. | 13 | [

2 | Fantastic Drain Strainer | These mesh type drain strainers are a real life saver, indeed. They are well constructed without any sharp edges to get hurt on. The outer band is made of a combination steel and aluminum. Clean up is a real snap. Just use a tissue or cloth and swipe clean, just a very quick rinse and your done. I suggest that you leave this strainer in a dry area when not in use. This will prevent any possibility of rust. There seems to be a protective type coating on them anyway. Buy Today and Enjoy Clog Free Stains!! P.S. They come in a matched pair of (2). | 11 | [

2 | Great Graphics, and storyline, short on controls. | My younger sister got this game for her birthday. I ended up playing it more than her. I thought the game would be kind of corny, considering it is based basically for the younger age groups. I was surprised. The storyline is great, having to rescue Frogger's li'l frogs. Graphics are awesome for an arcade game. The controls are fairly easy for me, but I have the Microsoft Sidewinder Game Pad, which makes it seem like you're playing the game on your basic home game system. I tried it with the keyboard and it is awfully hard. The game is challenging enough with the controller. It takes split second reactions sometimes, and it's just to hard to do that with the keyboard. I would've given the game 4 1/2 stars but I can't. I can't wait to see if there'll be a Frogger 3. | 12 | [

I found that when it is filling the center of the pail piles up and the sides are empty I have to open it and re-arrange the soiled diapers. Things get stuck in the center and it jams. I hate this pail. I don't know why other reviews say it does not smell - it does. I have dio discs in it and it still smells. I wash the diapers every 48 hours or so and it still smells. I can't imagine it working so great with disposable diapers because it will still smell and the center piece sticks even with cleaning. I have wiped it out with Lysol and a hose and it still sticks.

1 | One of the absolute worst!! | OK, let me say that I do not review many books. It would be way too time consuming considering the amount of books I read. But this book is SO AWFUL I couldn't resist. First of all, I would like to point out that I really liked Noble Intentions which is why I decided to read Harry's story. But OMG how horrible!! For one thing, In MY Kindle version, Noble is known as Lord Weston. Then in The Trouble With Harry, the author changes his name to Lord Wessex. Which is it?? Can the author not keep track of her own characters or was someone in the editing dept asleep on the job? As far as the story goes? Snorefest! So boring I could barely get through it but since I'm not one to leave a book without finishing, I had to suffer through the nonsense. Harry was NOT the strong male force we come to expect in historicals. I really don't want to read about a man who keeps pushing up his spectacles and how soft his belly is. UGH!! What trash! Please be warned! Don't waste your 99 cents. | 18 | [

1 | Imaginative but that's not enough | It's interesting how the Amazon reviewers fall into two very opposite camps, those who found this movie boring and those who give it five stars.I like "arty" films. Take a look at Aguirre The Wrath of God. It's wonderful.I have to tell you the simple truth, though. Brazil was much too long for me, and in some places I was just saying "This is stupid". I have to agree with the naysayers on this one.It's not enough to be imaginative and different. It's not enough to satirize our bureaucratic society. There are just too many faults here. The film is all over the place, and not that funny. It disappointed me.Let me steer you to a far superior comedy that is also highly respected by arty people. Try "Closely Watched Trains". Try "Amelie". Try "Discreet Charm of the Bourgeouisie". All three are far superior to Brazil. Check them out. Try "The Lady Eve". It kills this one. | 16 | [

I cannot tell you how empowered I have become knowing I have choices. I don't feel deprived because I know my Reward Meal is coming every day. I have energy I haven't felt since my twenties. I'm 45 years old and my weight was well over 200#. If you need to lose, please try this diet. I can sure live with it. And I have been on many diets in the last 25 years to no avail.

2 | These Three Remain (but maybe there'll be a fourth. . .) | These books ("An Assembly Such as This," "Duty and Desire," and "These Three Remain") are almost as good as "Pride and Prejudice" itself! They're fantastic! Aidan's writing captures the tone and style of Austen and the period naturally without sounding forced and awkward. Her description of the change in Darcy's outlook and personality is very convincing. The plot points about the French revolution, the assassination of the prime minister, and Irish rebels add another dimension to "Pride and Prejudice." Much good humor besides. Best of all, I can't wait to read more about another character she has created, Dy Brougham. Maybe she'll produce a fourth book. . . or better yet some producer will take this up and produce a movie. These are the best of the Pride and Prejudice sequels. | 12 | [

2 | Smooth as Honey.... | To think i bought this album over 5 years ago, and I still find it beautiful each time i hear it. Mariah probably has one of the most beautiful, impressive voices I have ever heard. Butterfly is my favorite Mariah Carey Album though, because it has some of the most inspiring, soulful, and heartfelt tracks you could ever ask for. "My all," she sings her heart out on, and her voice just goes right through you. "Butterfly" is very R&B but completly inspiring. My favorite tune on here thoug would have to be "Close My Eyes," which really gets inside your emotions. "I still feel like a child when I look at the moon, maybe I grew up a little too soon. Mariah also writes her own songs, and I have to give her credit for that. What this cd offers for you is heartful, soulful, heartpouring emotional tracks. Along with funky, dance r&b hits. This cd was definetly one of the best from the 90's, and is a classic pop album. | 11 | [

2 | best of 2004? | When speaking of music, people generally do not understand when I distill the terminology to simply, rock & roll. American Idiot is great rock & roll. Monikers developed in the last 40+ years describing genres beyond basic rock & roll matter not. When you hear great rock & roll there's just no denying it. Dissecting the work, suggesting some songs are "A"s while others are "B"s miss the point of a work in it's entirety. The music and lyrics on this CD merge into a consummate whole. American Idiot, as such, deserves a grammy nod (IMHO). I have been waiting since 1967 for Brian Wilson's epic opus; SMiLE. American Idiot overshadows that other incredible 2004 release for me (blasphemy even in my own mind but A.I. rocks . . .) JV | 13 | [

2 | Good story not to be taken %100 seriously | What Frank set out to do, and what he occomplished is treuly wonderful. He brought the christian unseen world into a context that is understandable and enjoyable. As one other reviewer sia,d most xian literature is dreadfully dull and unredable. This, and Jim Walker's books are very readable. Some of the pheology is stretched, but I think it's done so to give the story life. I do wish some angels had been killed, and are demons ugly? Also, some of the demons asked who Tal was. They all knew each other! That whole temper tamtrem that was put in there could have been eliminated.

2 | The Wise | I thought this was very helpful. Everyone wants details, details details!!!!!!!!!!!!Fishing is something for us to find out on our own!!! He is right!! you have to go out and figure it out yourself using tips from the wise! There is no right way to fish, no one road to the top! This video is great. I recommend it. As far as a fishing show goes, never watched one that wasn't trying to simply sell a product. Loved this!!!! For once, I didn't waste my money on advertisement!!!!!!!!!!! | 12 | [

1 | This could have been so much better | Seriously, am I the only one not blinded by the hype? Am I the only one who actually hears this album? This albums is a perfect example of why we even have terms like "Sophomore Slump" and "Sellout.""Do You Want To" is the cheesiest song of the year with horrible lyrics and an irritating riff. Why anyone would listen to this more than once is beyond me. The title track is so horribly horrible and boring that I'm not even going to try and come up with something clever. It just sucks.The rest of the album isn't much different. They seem to have been reading the titles of too many Ramones songs. Their favourite word is "wanna" and they don't use it as well as Joey Ramone.I love their debut. Maybe the best album from last year. This album can't be their debut's toilet paper. If someone tells you this is a really great follow-up, don't listen to them. I wasted 20 bucks on this, don't make the same mistake. | 13 | [

2 | Read this Review | I almost didn't buy this camera, due to the bad reviews. My first camera choice was UBC only, and I needed a serial connection. So, with great trepidation, I bought the Jamcam3. Initially, I was extremely disappointed. The first images you see are in the "JamCam photo shop viewer". Don't give up here! I think some people have seen these blurry blobs of grey and assumed this was the image they were stuck with. Not so. Be sure to "Download Picture" to thumbnail form. Also, I had to change my screen settings to 640x480 to see the controls properly. I might also mention my PC (586-133) is below the recommended minimum and I'm making out ok. The pictures are not bad. I am satisfied. Remember, this is a 640x480 camera, so don't expect too much. The flash is good for dark areas. One final item...I heard batttery life was short, according to some reviews, so I use my camera with a 9 volt adapter plugged into the wall. | 16 | [

2 | FABULOUS SWIMMING ADDITION | I've been a swimmer for decades. I added these ankle weights to everything I do in the water and now I can't imagine swimming without them. I was able to use them as packaged, full weights, right away (decades of swimming paying off). I use webbed gloves on my hands along with them. I've used these swimming the side stroke, breast stroke, crawl, underwater, swimming on my back, treading water doing leg lifts and even upright dancing in the shallow end to music. I use these in both deep and shallow water. I also do surface dives with them. I now feel strange swimming without them. I miss the resistance if I don't include these weights in my swim. If and when these give out, I will be buying a new set within hours. Two caveats: one, make sure these are snug on you as if they are loose they interfere with swimming; two, you must be a very strong swimmer to use these in deeper water. A weaker swimmer might panic with the added weight with disastrous results. | 12 | [

1 | This thing SUCKS...and not in a good way! | I'm terribly disappointed with this product. After fewer than a dozen uses, this vacuum decided suction was no longer a goal. I have two dogs and a cat and I thought I'd try a different "pet" vacuum (I have a Dyson Animal as well). The Bissell doesn't stand up to pet fur, nor does it function well on hardwood floors. I found myself chasing fur during the short time the machine operated correctly. I had to make numerous attempts to get the vacuum to suction up a small leaf. The hose operates well; although, I don't feel it connects/disconnects from the unit efficiently. While vacuuming, I could feel debris hit my legs. The canister is ridiculously small. The dust-covered exterior following use leads me to believe the HEPA filter serves no purpose. A very disappointing purchase (which will be returned). This vacuum sucks...and not in its intended manner! | 12 | [

2 | Maybe the best of both . . . | I bought this recording back when "Bongo Fury" was first released. I eventually wore out the vinyl. Then I bought a cassette version, which I also wore out before the mid-90s. The CD should last longer. Zappa and Beefheart seem to bring out the best in each other. The performance captured here is better than anything I've heard from Zappa (except for maybe "Freak Out!" and "Shut Up 'n Play Yer Guitar"). And it's up there with the best of Beefheart's records, though I admit to being a big fan of the Captain's later work such as "Shiny Beast (Bat Chain Puller)" and "Ice Cream for Crow." Although this live performance was a sort of "celebration" of America's bicentennial, it still holds up...things really haven't changed all that much. This is great in-your-face stuff. There are no losers on this CD, with "Sam With The Showing Scalp Flat Top" and "Poofter's Froth Wyoming Plans Ahead" being my favorites. Get it and see what all the excitement is about! | 12 | [

2 | Excellent show and great to see 'em without comercials! | Man Vs. Food.. Ahh yes, a guilty pleasure. Now in my travels, should I happen upon one of these locations, I most definitely will stop in for a bite to eat. Adam is a great host. For him being a New Yorker and taking on an eating challenge in Boston and walking out with new friends, that speaks well of the kind of guy he is. Well done Adam. I look forward to Season Two, Three, and so on. =]I am giving the DVD 4 stars for the DVD itself, not the content. There is no PLAY ALL option. Also, the DVD does not automatically cycle down to the next episode when one finishes. For someone into marathon DVD sessions of TV series, this annoyance is, well, a drag to say the least.The bonus material is AWESOME. Loved the best places to pig out. That's worth like 3 or 4 episodes in itself.Again, 5 starts for the show and content. 4 stars because of the DVD itself. | 13 | [

1 | Two have blown | My first one lasted less than a month. Blew it's fuse and when I replaced the fuse, it just made a loud hum. The amp was blown. I have an HK510 AVR with sub-out, so I know I didn't give it too much juice. I was skeptical to get another one, but decided to try in hopes I just got a lemon. Amazon was great and paid for shipping both ways. The second one lasted a few months and then the exact same thing. I sent an email on Sunday to thier customer support and got both an email and phone call from them on Monday. They told me they are aware of the problem and have a fix. They are having me just send the amp, so I don't have to pack up and send this beast. Good customer support so far. | 11 | [

2 | Oral Fixation was good but now its AWESOME! | Do not worried about the extra tracks here if you already purchased OF2, using your copy you can download for FREE the extra tracks. People who wants to make drama out of this just wants to be irritating. Hips dont lie is a perfect song for this record. La tortura is already a hit all around the world. Add that to the songs already recorded in OF2 and you get an awesome record. OF2 was good as it was, but I always felt something was missing. I know now what was it: Shakiras unique latino flavour! Hips dont lie adds a whole new dimension to this record. This isnt Mimi's effort to get more money out of her fans. Shakira is a unique star, not a diva, just a musician, singer and a excellent performer. 5 stars from me to OF2 with the extra tracks! | 11 | [

2 | Sharp, fast. good deal...? | I have had this puppy for a week now (august 2007), and here is what i can tell you:What they say is true: It is sharp, even at F/2.8. It focuses fast. Chromatic aberration is under control. Bokeh is great.Who cares if it's heavy. If you want a light lens, you are probably willing to compromise image quality.Drawbacks: There is significant distortion at 17mm. Correctible in PS(-3 does the trick), but I would expect more from such a pricey piece of glass. Also, I wish it had VR. Again, for the price that would make sense.Overall, it is pro glass. you get what you pay for, and it will probably never leave the D200 body. Those who are considering this purchase should wait for a couple of months - nikon (and the rest) will be debuting new products before the holidays. I'd bet they'll roll out a VR version of this guy. So, this will model will probably drop in price. (just a guess)p.s. (i like using parentheses) | 14 | [

2 | Read the whole series.... | Years ago I read The Silver Rose by Jane Feather and hated it. I remember very cruel characters and a weak, downtrodden hero. I saw Feather had just released a new hardcover so I thought I'd give her one more try. Well, of course, I had stumbled upon the conclusion of a trilogy. Still - the book intrigued me and I really liked the characters: Olivia was quirky but likeable and Anthony (with his crooked grin and great sense of romance - didn't you love the beach scene?) was charming and sexy. But then I realized I really needed more background on the villain, Brian, and the other two women, Portia and Phoebe. So I gobbled up the Hostage Bride (loved it!) and the Accidental Bride (so-so) and then finished the Least Likely Bride. Read them in order - they'll make more sense- and I'm sure you'll enjoy the whole series. Jane Feather has redeemed herself in my eyes. | 11 | [

1 | A Lesson Before Dying | This was a very long winded book. It was not a page turner at all. I found myself not wanting to finish the book for as short as it was. I thought it would get better, but it never did. At times the writer leaves you hanging as to what is happening with the prisoner and then out of no where, the writer takes you back to the prisoner. Somewhat confusing and very boring. The only excitement is when the teachers go off into a field and have sex. I do not understand why that was even brought into the book. Boring. This is the second worst book I have bought going by the Oprah Winfrey Book Club Review. Bad Taste. | 11 | [

1 | I saw the warnings, ended up with broken camera like others | Like many others, I was attracted to this video camera because of a very attractive price, in light of the options. I read all the dire warnings that many had problems, but like many times, was persuaded on price alone. It was a terrible mistake. The camera, less than one year after purchasing, broke. It broke during the birth of our second child. No images of this irreplaceable moment. I am so upset. Don't make my mistake. Don't shrug off our warnings. This camera is or will be nothing but trouble. I should have learned along time ago that you get what you pay for. I learned this lesson the hardest way you could. | 12 | [

2 | Thumb and a half high | I remember Tim Conway from the Carol Burnett Show, but also McHale's Navy. I remember he was funny. I bought the Dorf collection, which was entertaining and mostly funny. That brought back happy youthful memories of his escapades on TV, so I bought this DVD. Regardless of many of the other reveiws, I find this Tim Comway Timeless Comedy DVD hillarious. Although I wish it was longer, the skits are very humorous. Tim doesn't need props to be funny. His facial expressions and timing, much like Bob Newhart from his early days, bring out the laughter. Adding to the laughter are when his partners in the sketches can't contain theirs' at Tim's responses, and many times have to turn away to keep a straight face or somtimes just outright explode in vocal smiles. The humor is clean and for the whole family- no smut or fowl language. A definite good buy. If this is suppose to be his "worst" work, imagine how good he must be! | 12 | [

1 | Avent Needs to Develop a New Spout | I loved my Avent cups...at first! They were the first sippy cups we tried when my child was 5 months old because we loved the Avent bottles. My child is now 21 months old and we have used several other brands of sippy cups. The Avent brand is my least favorite! There are so many parts and they are difficult to clean. Fluids get trapped in difficult places and they become disgusting! The soft spouts also become stained easily. The only positive points to these cups are that they don't spill easily, are interchangeable with the Avent bottles, are clear, and the handles can be moved to different potitions in relationship to the spout. But, please don't waste your money. I'm throwing all my Avent cups out because I dislike them so much! Buy Playtex or Gerber and save yourself the hassle! | 11 | [

1 | Everything is mising !!! | I ordered one from ANTonline through Amazon.com . The MP3 player arrived on time. When I open the hard plastic, I saw there's empty storage space. I check the item list from online user guide. I figured Earphones,USB Cable, Lanyard and 1 lithium ion battery (a replacement battery??). I called SanDisk but they asked me to contact the online retailer. I called the online retailer and the lady asked me to send an E-mail to their tech support department and wait. Then she HANG UP MY CALL! That's very rude.In general, I believe this is the SanDisk issue because those items were missing in the brand new, sealed hard plastic container. SanDisk is able and capable to prevent this issue. Now they just push the responsibilities to the customer and the online retailer. | 11 | [

2 | Yes, play gamecube basically anywhere! | This is a great item to buy. I think for its price it is very worth it. I WOULD pay $300 dollars for this. For those who wonder, it does not take batteries. There are cords, but they allow you to play in the car with the lighter slot. You can also play without a T.V. in a house. For example. When I go to my uncle's house in Florida for vaccation. When I am board I play gamecube, because my uncle only has one T.V, and he always watches golf. I used to get board to death, but not now. This is a must for gamecube! You don't have to sqint either. | 13 | [

2 | Excellent tool for the kitchen | Based on the recommendation of Cook's Illustrated I ordered this garlic press. It is the best I've ever used. I am a petite person with small hands and my squeeze strength, while vigorous for my size, is challenged by items that require lots of squeeze. This tool is effortless. What a dream to press my garlic now. I love to cook and especially enjoy creating my own stocks and a wide variety of soups - so I use lots and lots of garlic. I didn't yet mention the ease of cleaning. Very easy. Let me say that again, very easy. Don't suffer any more with poorly designed garlic presses. Spend the money and add to your enjoyment of cooking. | 11 | [

2 | Five stars isn't high enough | In short this is the greatest Queen album of all time. And guess what? There isn't a real hit song anywhere on it. But if you love Queen (and who doesn't) you must add this one to your collection. Like many great albums this one has to be played in its entirety to truly appreciate its nuances. It's both mystical and amazing, transporting the listener to some far away place polutated by fairies and ogres. Quite possibly the greatest Queen song lives within this album. March of the Black Queen will give you chills. It goes from a ballad to to serious hardrock within its seven minutes. Freddy, Roger and Brian all take turns at lead vocals something I don't think they did anywhere else. Amazing! Leave the top 40 hits to the amateurs- this album is for the true fan and for the ages! | 12 | [

2 | A MUST for grillers and bbq'ers!!!! | I was given this book about 8yrs ago from a bank rep along with a bbq accessory set. I have since ripped the cover off and hoarded all the recipes not telling a soul where I got them from! I have made at least 60 of the recipes and each one is better then the rest. The grilling techniques truly enhance each dish whether you are on gas or charcoal. If you are like me and enjoy the process of in depth recipes, look no further. Most recently I made the "Perfect Thanksgiving Turkey with Maple Red Eye Gravy"...a grilled 12lb turkey!!.... PERFECTION. The reviews were stellar from my guests. It was the tastiest, juiciest turkey I have ever had. Fyi, this is one of the first reviews I have EVER given. This book is my bible and I use it as much as possible. The man is a genius!!!! BUY THE BOOK!!! | 14 | [

1 | Are you ever going to publish my review? | This version (I prefer the earlier which leaves it out altogether) sings the verse and leaves out the chorus. If DRG thinks that song is offensive, they haven't listened to the radio lately. DRG advertised Out of This World as complete. So I bought it. It was nothing of the kind. I prefer the original anyway, except I, Jupiter. Their soundtrack to Bells Are Ringing claims to be the first time on CD. I have 5 CDs of it put out by Capital a few years ago. It's one of my favorite childhood memories. Play that music for me and my sweet. All dark people is light on their feet. Pay no mind to a little conceit. All dark people is light on their feet. And just the same as flowers get honey, all God's chillun got buck and wings. Pale faced babies don't dance in the street. All dark people are light on their feet. Offensive? No. | 18 | [

1 | How could they ruin what was an excellent product | I had Paperport 6 running on a win 98 machine. This version rocked but did not work properly on windows XP so I "upgraded" to 10.0. What a huge mistake! It took many attempts to register the software so it would work. Once it was up and running it was slow slow slow. It was one of the reasons I bought a faster new computer but it still was slow slow slow! And talk about buggy. Don't even bother to use the help menu. The reason its not doing what you expect is because the software is broken! I paid $50 for paperport 6 and $100 for Paperport 10.0. That's $100 I wish I could get back. | 11 | [

2 | Intelligent fiction at last! | Surviving Mr. Right is a captivating novel, filled with great plot twists and characters and the kind of heroine I could really relate to. Tory was looking for love in all the wrong places until Moon McCalister came along. I loved the Moon character. He was strong and decent. But I really loved Tory. She was a sister in need of a lot of help, but in the end she found her own voice and was able to see a good life even without a man in it. The ending was perfect! The dialogue was crisp! This is one book that everybody should read. It is intelligent, thought provoking, and extremely well written. Teresa McClain-Watson is the writer of the future. I had never heard of her before, but I hope she keeps them coming! | 13 | [

1 | Disappointed | I looooove paranormal romance. I've read hundreds! But, for some reason I had never heard of Christine Feehan. One day, I decided to do a search of the top authors in paranormal romance and came across her name. I was surprised and excited to see the long list of books in this series. Lots of reading material! I got the first book and drudged through, thinking that books written early in an author's career are not as good as what will come and i was just getting the scenery and back stories of the next great books... and the second one in this series was an improvement to be sure, but still lacking, so I had hopes.... I am now in the middle of this third book in the series and I am so bored to tears, I can't stand it! Can we please get away from women in these books not having control of their bodies so that they are essentially forced into sexual encounters? What the F???? | 11 | [

2 | Creative Bubblegum Music | Originally released in 1968 on Buddah. Repertoire CD reissue in 1989. For fans of this band's memorable bubble gum hits, this will be a surprise. Sure there are a couple of hits (Simon Says, Take A Giant Step and Pop Goes The Weasel)but most of the remaining tracks cover a variety of styles and stand on their own as time period nuggets. Remember that these guys were in the studio after the summer of love and pop hits would soon give way to prog. Some of these tracks appear on the hits collections but most don't - I looked. I found this in a discount bin and took a shot. I am glad I did. You may also get a simliar reaction to the Ohio Express LP tracks - recent 2-on-1 CD reissues have tracks that are more Sugerloaf than bubblegum. After giving this CD a couple of listens, it is clear that Katz Kasenetz were more musically creative than their press ever let on. Worth looking around for. | 11 | [

2 | Pleasantly surprised | I saw this guy touring with Reckless Kelly in Birmingham, AL. I enjoyed him more than RK. I am a big RK fan. I bought his album there, like I have done a dozen times before, to no avail. Thank god, it was actually good. Now I wish I would have gotten there sooner. He sounded great. Very understated, but great sound. Now that I listened to his album, I really want to see him again. It will take a few albums to get him going, but I think he will get there. He is a huge talent. I hope he does not go the Lyle Lovette route as he is better than that (though he does a great impersonation). If he continues to do what he should he will be successful in his own right. High marks! | 14 | [

She runs away and join some other teens who live in the subway tunnels. She joins them and meets a troll who she ends up falling in love with. It was hard to put down because it had a lot of adventure and detail! Holly Black was able to make the lives of the teenagers in this book seem very realistic. I never thought that something in the book couldn't happen in real life, because the way Holly Black wrote this book made it believable. Holly Black has depicted the fairy world and real world very well! She is not afraid to use foul language or adult matters in her book. This book is for more mature teens.

I figured ahhh for $10 bucks what the heck..50/50 shot right??? Bad Move!!! I LOST...This thing does not even work a little bit! In fact I think it works the COMPLETE OPPOSITE and pisses the Dog/s off more that you're pointing it at. That is exactly what happened to me when I tested it. I walk past my neighbor's Killer Dogs everyday which I can NOT stand at all. I thought I had something to make it an ''EVEN'' match..... WRONG !!! I pointed it at these 2 dogs ( German Shepard,Rotweiler) and they basically got ''mader'' and barked louder and got more vicious. This product is a GIMMICK and DOES NOT WORK AT ALL !!!Save your $10 bucks for something useful.I had more fun SMASHING this thing into 1 million pieces, then I did using it ! :) | 14 | [

2 | Great lock | I bought this lock because regular locks would not fit on our mountain bikes. The area between the crossbars was crowded with a waterbottle. This lock fits very nicely in the small area, and the extra cable is worth its weight in gold. I easily lock up my back tire to a pole and loop the cable through my front tire and the lock. It's a great little system. I also bought a bike seat storage pouch for the cable. It conveniently stores away there.Many people said the holder was cheap when I read reviews. I don't agree with them. Mine works great and is very secure.I had one complaint. The lock I received was not the one pictured. Mine has yellow ends on the locking bar. I think the modle number ended in TC, but I believe it is the same lock. It works great. | 13 | [

1 | A comlete waste of money | This book is a complete waste of money. It looks nice and glittering, but in reality it is devoid of information. I had hoped for some specific information on Norfolk terriers, as Im the happy owner of a Norfolk puppy. It is difficult to convey the extend of my disappointment with this book. Its gives me an impression like: get a lot of pictures, make an "change all" in a standardtekst from xx to Norfolk and you have a book on Norfolks. It doesnt even have a race-standard, let alone an explanation of the race-standard. Or specified instruktions on stripping or trimming or..... Besides I find it extremely irritating, that there is a lot of advertizing, disguized as information. Avoid this book if you are serious about your Norfolk. What you can try to do is get hold of the old book on Norfolk by Joan R. Read. It looks a bit oldfacioned, but it is full of information. and it is much, much better. | 12 | [

2 | Good so far | This product has been great so far. I have had this trimmer for about two weeks. The first time I used it the battery ran low after about 30 min. The second time I used it (after charging all week) the battery must have been more completely charged since it didn't become low after over 30 min. of use. Its a whole lot more convenient to use than my old gas trimmer and it doesn't sound like an airplane flying over. The trimmer line that was on it when new did break quite often and I replaced it with line from a bulk reel of 0.065 line. This line is more durable and I have not had to add more line yet. The unit is somewhat heavy and can get tiring if you have a lot of trimming to do. It would be nice if there were places on the trimmer to add a support strap. The bump feed mechanism works flawlessly. I have never had the line to become tangled or fail to dispense as it should. For the price and convenience, I don't think you can find a better trimmer. | 13 | [

1 | service | I don't own this extractor but I do own another product from Mytee(the M-12). I have to say thier is less then average. Cross your fingers nothing goes wrong with your product because their service is crappy. They will not give you a new one if the product is defective out of the box. They have so many excuses why (like they don't have anymore in stock). B.S.!!!! Mine broke twice already within 30 days and I have to drive the damn unit 2 hours away to have it ship back mytee to be repaired. They try to blame me for not know how to use the extractor. That made me even more mad. Wait a week and lose many jobs and money. Mytee, get your act together!!!! By the way, my M-12 cost me almost 3k :( | 12 | [

1 | What a close minded author... | Making movies is one of my hobbies. I was excited when I recieved this book as a gift, but was immediately turned off within the first couple of pages. Schmidt does some serious Hollywood bashing. Yes, some of Hollywood's movies are crappy, but it is unfair to say that all good films are indie films. This was the idea the book gave me. Then he goes on to bash O. Henry and Spielberg and his movie Shindler's List. No one does that. Ever. He is a great film maker. This is the finishing move: Schmidt goes on to say that plot has little to do with a movie, and that movies shouldn't be about telling stories. What the heck. What do you think movies are?It has some good advice, but the author should be shot for dissing on some of the world's best directors and authors. | 12 | [

2 | Fantastic to finally have! | I am a woman in my fifties and I used to watch Combat! when it first aired on TV. My whole family made fun of me then and now as well for liking "war shows." In the end, tho, I am right. This was a groundbreaking series for it's time. Nothing ever like it had ever been aired before and it is the model for all action programs that came after. No one could portray the character of Sgt. "Chip" Saunders except Vic Morrow. He brings mascilinity with sensetivity and moral concicousness to the role of a lifetime. I had a girlhood crush on the character/man, in fact, I think I still do. What a man! | 11 | [

2 | Easy to use and assemble | I bought mine in March 2012 and I am glad that I did. I had knee replacement surgery and use this all the time for my showers. It is easy to assemble and set up. Once in the shower or tub is stays put. You do not have to worry about it moving when sit down on it. When wet, you do not have to worry about slipping off it it. the seat is such that you are safe from falling or slipping off during your shower.The construction is very sturdy and does not move once in the shower or tub. I have to hold onto the handle for balance and the Bath Bench does not move.I had looked at a catalog for devices like this and the price was about twice as much as this bench from Amazon. I was glad to see Amazon offered it at such a substantial savings with the same great quality. I will be using this for awhile because my other knee is due for the same surgery.I am glad I took the time to look on Amazon for this bench. It is worth the price. | 11 | [

1 | Bottom Line - DON'T PURCHASE THIS BOOK | I have been to Bolker's class at UMASS Boston and experienced the worst presentation of Java I have ever seen. The exact wording was, "You will learn a lot of Java in very little time." A promise never kept. You spend 20 hours a week not knowing what to do with HIS code for many reasons that I do not care to detail here. You never write code of your own making. You spend 5 of those hours writing a diary which isn't Java. The book itself is NOT an adequate reference for this language. In my opinion the man is due to retire. What I wanted to say is DON'T PURCHASE THIS BOOK to learn Java. Most if not all of the book is a presentation of a few small programs written in Java designed for classroom lectures. It is not a presentation of the Java Programming Language. | 11 | [

2 | Review of LL Cool J "I make my own rules" | This book was off the hook! In other words, it was great! Some people may not care for LL anymore on the hip-hop scene, but you can definitely call this book a comeback. It shows once again this guy is truly talented. Besides the music, I chose this book because I like the way LL presents himself in the public eye. After seeing him in a few interviews, I thought we might be on the same kind of vibe. The book only confirms my thoughts. This brother is deep. The book takes you through the life and times of LL (I don't want to give away anything). Once you have finished the book, you will understand why he has stood the test of time in the hip-hop world and beyond. He definitely "keeps it real" with his honesty, spiritualality, perspectives on life, AND people in general. This book is quite inspiring and it wont let you down, I guarantee it! Keep up the good work L! | 13 | [

2 | FAVORITE BOOK EVER! | This is my favorite book ever! I read this book when I was in first grade and it has remained my favorite book ever since. I give this book as a gift to everyone when they have a baby. I love pairing it with a little stuffed Grover. It is always a hit too. Who doesn't love Grover and his crazy antics? I love how interactive this book is and how it grows with the kids. It's truly a classic. I love the board book size so that little hands can use it. I must read! I recommend this book to everyone!! | 12 | [

2 | A GEM WORTH OWNING. | The movie seems to have its share of nay-sayers (no pun intended) and yes, there here may have been a few liberties with the facts from the book but nothing is sacrificed for Hollywoodesque drama: this is a fascinating rendition of a gripping book.Wrongful expectations are placed on stunning movies like this by the overworked hoopla machine. Oprah for instance praised it because of how it "reinforces the American national pride." Hmm.My suggestion: see the movie for what it is. Tobey Maguire truly shines in this film. The real star is not even a human being. The story (and it's a true one!) is uplifting without getting preachy. It's about achievement in the time of adversity. Funny and sad at the same time. The racing sequences are brilliant. The movie ends where it ought to end, leaving the viewer with a sense of departing nostalgia.Every proud movie buff needs to add this gem to his collections. | 11 | [

1 | Hmmmm....... What happened? | This cd has some stuff that I really like and some stuff that I really hate. I like how they experimented with new sounds and hip-hop beats. My favorite song is LIVE AT THE APOCALYPSE CABARET. Another good one is WOLF PARTY. Besides that the album pretty much sucks. Its really plain and simple. All the songs sound the same and the lyrics arent written as good as their previous albums. I would recommend MARCH ON THE ELECTRIC CHILDREN as their best album. Also BURN PIANO ISLAND, BURN. This one is just not as good. It does'nt even compare. If your a fan of previous Blood Brothers cd's, then dont be surprised if you hate this one. | 12 | [
