OLD DUTCH COPPER CANISTERS

These look beautiful when you first get them, but after awhile the finish wears off and they are ugly. Would have been better if they hadn't put the lacquer on and you could polish them. Too expensive to last only a few months.

Excellent book.

This book was recommend to me by a boy I knew in high school. It is an excellent narrative about a Marine's role in the Pacfic front of World War II. It is a very moving story based on the author's experience in WW II.

Disappointed

After being urged by an associate to purchase this Neiko Digital Caliper, I purchased it and was anxious to put it to work. I brought it along on an important project during which I would be verifying dimensions on a large number of SKUs. It quickly became apparent that the readings were not consistent. Smaller dimensions came in OK, however, when I would go past about 7" or so the accuracy seemed to disappear. This was very frustrating and I reverted to using my tape measure instead for nearly the entire project. At this point I consider the purchase of this product to have been a complete waste of time and money. The saying "you get what you pay for" has been proven correct in this instance.

Tasty!

I liked this bar. It had a good balance of flavor and wasn't overly sweet. I would have preferred that there was a bit more protein in it, but it works as a "snack" bar.

Wonderful and educational childrens book

I bought this for my 3 year old godson and was thrilled 6months later to hear the it was the first book he had worn out. Not destroyed, but actually worn out from reading and sharing. In fact many of the children in his preschool class also ended up begging their parents for the book.

Opened/damaged packaging

I had read a number of good reviews about this product, but when it arrived from this seller it had clearly been opened and the box was all mashed up. I haven't decided if I want to even bother trying to return it. I would recommend finding this item on sale somewhere else.

Very Superficial

I bought this book after seeing the review. To my dismay I found out that this only deal with things superficially.For instance the whole transaction isolation is discussed in 1 and a half pages. And it is very confusing. First he categorises it into 3 dirty read, repeatable read and phantom read. But while discussing getTransactionIsolation(), he uses 4 - dirty, repeatable, non repeatable and phantom. Nowhere is the non repeatable read explained.The organisation of the book is also very poor.The last 100 or so pages is nothing but a copy of Suns API reference.

A Simple Clear Guide to Manifestation

I really enjoyed this book because it was brief, direct, concrete and offered clear worksheets that you could personalize (for yourself or for coaching clients). I think the inner work of changing your beliefs and vibration is very important in manifestation. The one thing I would have liked included was an emphasis on action as well-ie: 'I am a famous actor AND I am actively applying for auditions.' Many Law of Attraction books seem to leave out this action part.

either/or

my oh my, i usually don't find myself this much in the minority, but this story just didn't work on any level for me. Sentimental stories, more than any other types, really are an either/or, with little room for a lukewarm response. You either buy into it and find the story compelling or you don't and find it a big bore. I'm not enough of an egotist to claim my opinion is worth more than the overwhelming majority, i just want to say here is another dissenting vote.

The Left Behind Series Rocks

I'm really not able to separate any individual book in my mind as to one being better or worse than the next. I read the entire series back to back over the course of a couple of months and I just really like this whole series. It's well-written. It's very vivid. Although it is fiction, it really helped me to better understand what to expect during The Rapture and the book of Revelation in the Bible.

Accessible tips for anyone to become a better public speaker.

This book has no pretension, and is written from the point of view of a funny friend trying to talk you over your public speaking jitters. With expert advice that has really made me feel at home pitching an idea in front of a group of high power executives, it is as effective as it is accessible. A fantastic purchase for anyone who has a more effective speaker inside them looking to get out.

Gripping story of a young mother's turmoil

This is a fast-paced story that grabs you from the beginning. I read it in one day and laughed, cried and felt like I was living it. The book was passed around to a couple of friends and they all felt the same way at the end, breathless. For those who think this is a lady's book, my male friend read it and had the same reaction. He said he wanted to slow down while reading it because the end was coming too fast but he also finished it without putting it down. The end of each chapter leaves you wanting to know what happens next and you just keep on reading.Angela gives hope and inspiration to people everywhere by showing you can survive and go on living despite the hardest challenges.I would highly recommend this book to everyone.

One more KING has returned.....(welcome back)

JEM was the show everyone watched when I was growing up. Girls watched it for natural reasons, but guys also watched the show because it had great looking women, fashion matching Prince and the Revolution(which was cool then...but not so cool now), and a solid collection of great songs. The show had an excellent concept which I believe could still work today...with a new look, and new songs. One by one the giants of the 80's have returned and with this release(which is a shocker), we the fans of those shows come closer to the ultimate goal of all of our favorites at our command. Send a message of approval and pick up this DVD the first day it ships, and continue to move forward in the long process of bringing all the 80's classics home.(...)

Okay people...here it is.....HDMI signals are made to work over the cheapest of HDMI cables...purchasing the ultra-turbo-powered-air tight-bestest cable in the world would have no visually perceptable difference to using a cheaper cable.Its akin to buying a new car, whose engine is made to burn regular 87 octane gasoline...The car will not run better on premium gasoline, though you are welocme to spend the extra money and put it in the car. The car gas mileage will be the same.Thank you and take care.

junk

The only reason it got two stars is because, technically, it does carry bikes. First, the arms don't fold down without taking out a bolt with a lock nut (so a wrench is needed). Second, not sure what the design concept is with the receiver. A bolt that goes through one side of the receiver and one side of the rack, and not through either of the other side?

Holy cow is it durable!!

We bought this mp3 for our son, who is 14. As we all know, kids are not the most reliable when it comes to their things. This little thing has gone thru 2(yes 2) wash cycles and 1 dryer cycle and still works.The kid says that the sound is of CD quality and works great for him during sports(wrestling and work outs).For the amount of space and the quality, well worth the money!

Disappointed

I hate to give a negative review, but this product just didnt work for me. I am unable to sleep flat in a bed and had high hopes for this, because of another McKenzie product that i love. I gave it several nights to get used to it, and it did give some relief, but i still woke early with back pain. I sleep mainly on my sides. There is no problem with the seller or the quality of the product and it may work for some, but it did not work for my lumbar arthritis.

What the Fudge?

I agree with the above poster. I should have read more closely, granted, but I spent a good amount at Whole Foods for the additional ingredients. It didn't take that long to make, but five hours later (it says only 1-2 hours to set) it tasted like a whole mouth full of weak-chocolate toothpaste. Just one bite made me feel sick, so I tossed the rest out. Not worth the unnecessary deviation from my diet. If you're craving fudge on a lo carb diet, just go get a piece of chocolate and indulge for the moment. Short cuts are not worth it.

This is the hard, waxy candy corn that everybody knows and hates. The Brach's brand stuff is the candy corn that people actually like, and it's also a lot cheaper.

Not as good as other brands

These boxes do the job, but they differ from other generic brands that I have bought in the past. The main problem is that, height - wise, they are shorter, so if you make your own title dividers, they will not fit in the box because the height of the box is practically flush with the height of a comic book. This also means that your comics may get slightly crushed if you stack your long boxes on top of each other. The generics that I used to use generally have about 1 1/2 - 2 inches of clearance between the top of my comics and the top of the box.I would not uses these boxes if you are worried about protecting your books.

Does what it's supposed to

This handset is comfortable to use and easy to link to the base station (though the code I had to enter fooled me for a minute, since it was supposed to be a numeric code, yet a pound sign (#) appeared in it).

Buyer Beware

Sony has a great reputation, so I thought that when I shelled out tons of money for an MD player it would be worth it. And for a while, it was. It's a great looking model with excellent sound quality. It tends to eat batteries relatively quickly, but since it's rechargeable that's not too much of a problem. What *is* a problem is the quality. After owning mine just over a year, it began skipping frequently and often wouldn't eject first try. The remote also became quirky and would turn on for no reason and drain my batteries. Conveniently, all of these problems started happening soon after my warranty ran out. After about 18 months of use, it died. With no warranty, it was going to cost more to repair than to replace. This is my third experience with Sony CD/MD products, and my last. Each product broke conveniently after the warrantly expired.

It has allowed me to take better pictures than I've ever been capable of. The price is unbeatable too.

Great Romantic Mystery!

This was a wonderful read, and my first experience with something by this author. It kept me guessing the whole way through! I knew it was a romance, but wasn't expecting the mystery elements that were thrown in. I was guessing all the way to the end about "who done it." I'm very eager to read something else by Lenora Worth since reading After the Storm.

Cool coffee maker - which is BAD for a coffee maker!

Makes cool coffee. In the carafe, it gets even cooler. The carafe spout dribbles unless you rest it on the edge of the mug. After 3 months of this, I am surfing the web for a new coffee maker. (Also because I keep forgetting to empty the carafe, and it makes a huge overflowing mess, but that is my fault).Bottom line - don't get this if you want HOT coffee.

Disappointing

I'm a big MHC fan, but this book just is not up to her usual standards. There are too many extraneous characters (way too many red herrings), and the main character was poorly developed and flat. There were also many loose ends, most glaring of which was the "techie stalker." And the reincarnation theme muddied the plot badly rather than add to it...and the ending was just lame, lame, lame. Come on Mary, drop the supernatural stuff, it just doesn't work for you.

Tom Clancy without all the unnecessary pages

This one fits the mode of military operations with political intrigue on the presidential level, a la Clancy, but the focus is really on the military operation and the team of Marines. It is a good book, a very good book. I take it from the author's Vietnam and Pentagon background that the way the Marines talk, fight, and deal with orders is realistic, and I found it very intersting. None of that secret, hush-hush stuff that fills Clancy and his wannabes pages. The characters are fun, not too deep, but you don't want them deep. The action is what moves this book along, but the undercurrent of heart and emotion that ran throughout my reading is what caught me by surprise. You start to really care for this group even though they're a modern military dynamo. A real keeper. Any ex-miltary personnel (note- I am not one of them) will flip for this book.

Looks really bad on our TV

My daughter really likes this toy because now she has her own computer, however, it looks really bad on our TV. We don't have that big of a TV, but it looks really grainy. I'm hoping that maybe the other games will look better than the built-in ones. Also, for some reason when the console is on, our TV remote doesn't work. Overall, we like it with just a few complaints.

Not worth the money

When I purchased A Turtle's Tale: Sammy's Adventures I was thinking it was going to be a spin off of the turtles from Finding Nemo; I was completely wrong. This cartoon was politically generated, which isn't a bad thing, but not meant for younger children. It's a great thing to raise awareness and it's beneficial to do it while people are young so it's a part of their lives, but let kids be kids. Create a cartoon that's funny, entertaining, and grabs attention without putting any spin to it.For those parents wanting a cute, wholesome, entertaining movie keep looking because this is not it.

A Must Read for any woman considering having children

As a practicioner of Oriental medicine and specializing in fertility issues for American couples, I have this book in my clinic and recommend it to all my patients. Even in the busy, career oriented lives of my patients, they seem to immediately connect with this book of ancient wisdom surrounding the issue of conception. Since they are all experiencing infertility, this wonderfully written book offers up an entirely new perspective and insights into arenas that we in the West tend to overlook.The author, Seligson, has no idea of how helpful this book has been to hundreds of women with infertility and an behalf of all my patients, we thank him for taking the time to write it.

GH Season 5 Part 1

I'm a big fan of TAPS, and there are some great investigations in this group. Jason and Grant are my favorite ghost hunters because they approach ghost hunting from a more scientific point of view, trying to find real world explanations for the things that go bump in the night. If it's not the heater vents in the basement or a clock giving off a high EMF that is causing people to be creeped out, only then do they entertain the possibility that it may in fact be something paranormal. Although this group of episodes doesn't have some of their most compelling investigations, it is a great addition to my collection.

Fanny Pack

Product arrived on time and in good condition. Quality of leather is quite good. The only thing that keeps me from rating 5 stars is the size. The 14 inch length is measured from the ends of the "ears". While they do have zipper pockets in them, they are quite small and shallow. The main body of the pack is only 8 inches from end to end. All in all my wife still likes it and will keep it.

Not sure how this filter will hold up during the heating season but I am disappointed in the size it came in. Ordered a 16 x 25 x 4 to replace the 3m's I have been using from Lowes. I didn't know these filters were sized like 2 x 4's. This filter is not 4", instead more like 3 1/2" wide. Very disappointing how it fits. I know its much cheaper, now I know why.

An Amazingly Effective Healing Tool

Gach has compiled a guide to a method of healing that really works! I have used the methods described in this book for four years in relieving the pain in my lower back. I have progressed from having my back "go out" at least once every ten or twelve months (to the extent that I required bed rest for anywhere from several days to several weeks) to the point where I can now do almost every normal activity without a problem. My back has not "gone out" over the past four years. I would recommend this book to anyone seeking an effective method of pain management.

Essential book on Lee and the Army of Northern Virginia

This is a very good book on the Overland Campaign of 1864. It is the story of the great campaign between Lee and Grant. The author writes very good character sketches of Lee, Longstreet, Ewell, and Hill. He also tells about the lower level officers of the Army of Northern Virginia. He does show bias against Longstreet who he does not think very highly of. Grant fans will not be too happy with some of the narrative. But it is a book about Lee and the Army of Northern Virginia not Grant and the Army of the Potomac. For the flip side of the coin I highly recommend Bruce Catton's "Surrender at Appomattox" which is an excellent account of the Army of the Potomac in these campaigns.

Worthless piece of hardware.

This computer has been back to HP 3 times for a broken wireless card and a messed up screen that blacks in and out. Luckily it was still under warranty, however the headache I went through spending hours on the phone with customer service in a another country, and waiting days on end for a manager to call back was not worth it. It was "fixed" and worked for another 6 months, but now the wireless card is not working again, and what do you know, the screen turns itself off and will not come back on until I do a hard reset and shut it down by the power button. I hate this computer, and HP.

What you wish you knew when you first started

Dutch Sheets is hilarious - as usual - with his self flexing excuses for falling short. This is also refreshing when he admits fault - well, as a child admits only when absolutely nailed to the wall - and provides the "better" way of handling some of these scenarios.But the theme is serious. it is time to read this if you really want to see a difference in your life and see that difference remain and make great gain for good in your life and the lives of those for whom you pray.Of course if you want to keep getting run over by life and the creatures in it, then pass this book up.

Bad people die. Good people die. Loyalty is questioned. Sacrifice happens.

During WWII, two assassins in a Danish resistance group specialize in killing Danish collaborators, but then they include German officers as targets. The Gestapo begins searches and reprisals, a traitor might be in the group, one begins a relationship with a woman who could be a double agent and, as their group is killed or captured, their activities are questioned by higher authorities in the allied war effort. There are no happy endings.This twisty movie is meticulous in recreating the look and atmosphere of Nazi-occupied Denmark. The pacing keeps things moving. Even the quiet moments have tension. We get to know these two men. Thure Lindhardt plays Flammen. Mads Mikkelsen plays Citronen. In real life Flammen was Bent Faurschou-Hviid and Citronen was Jorgen Haagen Schmidt. Both are heroes in Denmark. Both were awarded posthumously the U.S. Medal of Freedom.

Too fragile

I used to play sax so wanted to get the grand kids started on the concept. Of course, for this price this sax teaches nothing in terms of fingering on a real sax. It is just a series of keys each of which must be held down while they blow into the mouthpiece. That is OK for a small child. My complaint is that if this is made for a small child, why is it so fragile? The "springs" that make the keys work are not even springs at all. They are the thinnest of plastic in the mold and are extremely delicate. As soon as one of these thin plastic "springs" break, the instrument is now worthless to try to play notes. Just as the kids were learning to play the most basic song, the spring breaks, making the whole thing junk. No, I would not again buy a child's toy that was designed to break within the first week. The only education is for me to know better next time. Optionally, I have found that some of the inexpensive keyboards are surprisingly well made and provide a great introduction to music.

This book made me quit reading the series

The subject line says it. This book had nothing to do with the main characters. I am sick of these authors thinking they can milk us for every penny because we are hooked on their series! We want to see an ending, darn it, not a whole bunch of new characters. I continued to read these books because I loved reading about Richard and Khalan - at first. Now, however, everything has just become too annoying. This book was the last straw - I'm not wasting my money on this drivel any longer.

Very Good Introduction

I like the conversational manner with which the author treats his subject. I would have liked to see more time spent on the 8051 Instruction Set but perhaps the author assumed that the reader would use the databooks (if so, he should have stated this.) This book alone does not explain the Instruction Set sufficiently. The use of a simulator is a very good idea. However, be warned that if you want to keep using the UMPS simulator after the trial period you will have to pay $650.00! This is more than most users will want to spend. My first printing has lots of annoying typos. I sincerely hope that subsequent printings will fix these. I noted 70 to 80 typos and errors.

Had No Intention of Seeing This...Glad I Did!

I was hesitant to see this movie because a lot of people I knew didn't like it. After seeing it for myself, I'm not sure what their hold-up with the movie was. First of all, the movie looks beautiful. Leave it to Scorsese to take a short children's story and turn it into an gorgeous, heart-felt fantasy. The entire cast is great, but I have to give special props to Asa Butterfield as the title character and Sasha Baron Cohen as the inspector. I would highly recommend this movie to anyone that has a love of film.

French Wines -- An Overview For The Beginner

Clive Coates is a gifted writer, who has extensive knowledge and experience as a wine critic. Mr. Coates attempts to cover all the major wine growing regions of France: Bordeaux, Burgundy, Loire Valley, Rhone River Valley, Alsace, Provence and Languedoc. He writes about lesser known appellations and informs the reader about the better growers in each appellation.This book, "The Wines of France," falls well short of the other scholarly writings of Mr. Coates, e.g., "Cote D'Or, A Celebration of the Great Wines of Burgundy," or "Grand Vins, The Finest Chateaux of Bordeaux and Their Wine." This recent effort could be well suited for those who are interested in a broad overview of French wines. However, one should not expect the same level of schorlarly achievement as reflected in his prior works.

book only, no jacks

I bought this book from Amazon in used condition but 'like new'. Little did I realize or even think about that it didn't come with the jacks and ball. Now I have to try to find the right size jacks (not jumbo ones) and a ball. I guess you get what you pay for!

Clear, basic, and concise.

Excellent. This book is written by a renowned essential oils expert in England (Europe has much better education and organization of aromatherapists than the U.S.). I love that it provides scientific data as well as extraction methods. The folklore info is limited though. It also gives general historical info. An essential reference guide to eveyone, even with essential oil websites available. Two warnings: I have much info about the benefits of Mentha Pulegium oil, which has been slandered because 2 women DRANK 1 OUNCE of it and died. Also, the info on solvent extraction is a tad outdated.

Game good - product okay

The game is great and has been a lot of fun for the family. I was a little disappointed with the length of time it took to receive it - almost 1 month, so it was delivered after my son's birthday but I had no option but to ship by regular mail - but ordered it 2 weeks prior to the birthday thinking it would have enough time to be delivered. The product itself, while in working condition, was a little more "used looking" than the description had stated when I purchased it. It had many stickers that were ripped and peeling stuck all over the guitar controller. There were other used games that stated it had stickers already stuck to the guitar and I specifically did not choose those but ended up with one anyway.

Peter & Gordon - 'The Ultimate.....' (Collector's Choice)

Hadn't heard this British Merseybeat duo's music in ages. They just remind me so much of Chad&Jeremy. Total of twenty tracks here to check out once again. Some of the cuts I thought were good are "A World Without Love" (possibly their most memorable hit), "Love Me Baby", "I Go To Pieces", "Lady Godiva", "Woman" and the snappy "You've Had Better Times". Didn't REALIZE that Peter&Gordon covered so many other's music,like the Beatles, E.King, Phil Spector, etc. Should definitely appeal to fans of the Seekers, Gerry&The Pacemakers, Herman's Hermits and the Mindbenders.

This doesn't do one thing for my hair

I have tried using this twice and gave up on it. If anything it makes my hair more tangled and dry than it was to start with. I am really not sure what it is supposed to do or what kind of hair it might actually help. I have long fine hair, easily tangled, and this neither smooths nor untangles it. It is watery and seems to be some sort of fake product, the way it does nothing. It's the only thing I've ever tried on my hair that seemed to have absolutely no effect at all. Don't waste your money on this.I also don't understand some reviews preaching how you leave this on and it gets hard, blah blah blah...... this sort of wrecks my hair. My hair needs moisture, not to be parched to bone hardness. Kerastace Ciment Anti-UsureCIMENT ANTI-USUREmakes my hair gorgeous and is basically a fast easy rinse out.

This book is fabulous. I am a 25 year old female who has always been "the nice girl." It's not as if I haven't had relationships. Yet, even in those relationships, I always felt like a "doormat." My friends and I always wondered why the guys we didn't like kept coming around. We would sit in the car and read this book aloud to each other. This book is liberating, and I recommend it to any woman looking to take control of herself and her love life.

I feel like I missed something

I was disappointed with this book. As others have said this book really doesn't present clear cut examples in every chapter. While the text isn't hard to read, concepts could be explained in greater detail. When answering questions at the end of the chapter, the reader shouldn't have to flip through to look for the answer. I don't know of any other book on governmental accouting that could be used as an alternative. Had I looked at the book closer earlier in the semester I would have dropped the class. Unless you are an accounting major or have had other accounting classes, this book may be challenging (not in a good way). I had to rely upon supplementary reading and information from the professor to understand key concepts. Reading this book is like walking into a movie in the middle of the film and trying to understand what is going on. If you teach this class, please find another book or write one yourself.

It works and I got what I expected.

Yes the picture is a little jumpy and the resolution isn't like watching direct cable but then I am 7000 miles from the box. I'll take it anyway, I am tired of watching Korean TV. Set up was easy on both ends if you just follow the directions. I ran the signal from my computer to my TV, it worked great. Now I am going to try to record the signal through the VCR or maybe a PVR back to the computer.

Don't waste your time

The thickness on this cookware is extremely thin. The frying pan hears up very quickly and unevenly. It also warped after only a few uses. The sauce pans are decent and I use them often, but I had to throw the soup pot out after it started corroding. The set as a whole is not good. I'd recommend just getting the small pots separately.

Do not buy!

I have had some real problems with this software. And the customer service at Pinnacle is terrible! The always tell you the same thing, "Uninstall and re-install".When I would burn my finished product onto VCD, deleted scenes or something would blink in and throw my movie off sync. Talk about annoying! I am sure there is software better than this out there. I am going to try Adobe Premier now and I hope I get the results from it that I need.*Mac users praise the computer gods for giving you Imovie!

best introduction ever

This is hands down the best introductory book on nonstandard analysis. If you want to learn nonstandard analysis then you should start here.

Beware: Cut episodes

The show is obviously beautiful but this DVD isn't: first of all the episodes are cut (where's Mary on the Pilot?), then the quality is unacceptable. This DVD is a total shame!!!

provocative and quite interesting....deeper than most!

I'm quite surprised by the number of negative reviews of this book, but I quite frankly found it very interesting. Jane, who is recently divorced, goes on a trip to the Galapagos where she finds that the tour guide is her distant cousin/estranged best friend from childhood. What follows is a convoluted tale of relationships, the evolution of friendship, species and families. For those who have developed a blind-sided aversion to Darwin and the theory of evolution, this is probably too much to take, but for those who enjoy the process of scientific thought and analysis and spoofs thereof, this book is a treat. But then, as a scientist by choice and vocation, I'm probably biased (grin).

Funny...

Hilarious is all I can say... This movie is straight bafoonery but in a "Martin" and "Fresh Prince of Bel Air" kind of way! I appreciate the use of satire and creative writing to add a bit of twist to your not so ordinary film. I would and will recommend this movie because it's straight comedy. Much support to the cast and the peoples that made this happen.

Looks good, hardly works

We used this a total of about three times within the first few months of getting it. Usage is confusing and directions are some of the poorest written ones I've seen. Tried to use it again tonight after a couple years in storage. Doesn't work at all. Pump isn't producing hot water. Frother doesn't work. Pretty disappointing - especially for the $400 price tag.

Why do y'all like this book so much?

I read this book a few years ago for my English Class, and I seriously thought it was the worst novel I'd ever read. Not only was almost unbearably insipid, it was so depressing and ugly that if it could have drawn me in enough to have cared about it, I would have been filled with only negative emotions such as grief and sadness.

A good read, but fairly predictable

I am a Sheldon fan, and have read everything he has ever written. However, by page 44, I had pretty much figured out the "big shock" of this book. I continued to read, hoping for the usual twists a Sheldon book can take...only to find that the book is tame in comparison to his other works. For a seasoned reader, figuring out the key to the book so early on does not make for intriguing reading. It is well written, I did not give up on it before finishing it, but it ends with a whimper, not with the Sheldon trademarked bang. Mr. Sheldon, I await your next book in hopes that the cutting edge will return.

I knew I was in trouble when...

After reading the wonderful "House of Cards", I knew I was in trouble when I picked up "Dark Side of the Sun" and there was no 'Acknowledgments' or 'About the Author" which told how much that Andrew Dymond enjoyed the show, Henson, etc. DeCandido (author of "House of Cards") lists all the many sources he used to write his book. I am pretty sure that Dymond is too embarrassed to tell where he found out all his information on Farscape. The characters are all wrong, the settings are allwrong and the interaction between the characters is non-existent. It is painfully obvious that he does not watch the show at all. I can only assume that someone handed him a brief synopsis of the show and the characters and he went from there.PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK IF YOU ARE A FARSCAPE FAN!!!Please, Tor Publishing, let DeCandido write the next Farscape novel.

Boring

Throughout the entire book the author refers to her husband as her husband. She never mentions him by name. I found it rather annoying. Either he didn't want his name mentioned when she wrote this book or she has an axe to grind with him over their breakup. The explanation of paranormal experiences are repetitive to the point where I skipped through various chapters and paragraphs in order to get to the meat of the story. I finaly got to the chapter where the mediums come in and clean the house. End of story. Overall the book was boring.
