Cute as a button
My flower girl looks so cute in this. The only drawback is we have to have it taken up in the waist even though my flower girl is a little chunky. Just keep in mind that you will more than likely have to alter the dress. The flowers are glued on and I wonder how this is going to hold up. I will probably have the seamstress put some stitches there too.

great tv
This is a great medium sized TV - fits in a small space. I don't feel like I'm watching a small TV when I'm watching. I'm thinking about buying a second. I have had it a few years and it still is like new.

Junk
I'm sorry to say that this was a major disappointment. In the picture and description, this looks like a good deal. But it's cheap plastic and very hard to install- then if you do manage to get it installed, it's so flimsy that it just breaks. It's impossible to do any gaming or even moving the keyboard a little bit. Oh and I mustn't forget to mention that the screws were 'WAY too small for the holes! It's not even worth the price to send it back, so this is going in the garbage, unfortunately.

You're much better off getting an iPod.
What the hell is this? The iRiver is the ugliest thing I have ever seen. You'd have to be really clueless to but this when the iPod is obviously so much better. Think about it: the iPod has an easy-to-read display screen, the innovative click wheel, the amazing shuffle feature, and high quality sound. PC and Mac. Quick assembly and installation. No wonder why Apple computer has saturated the MP3 market. Competitors like the shoddy iRiver are desperately trying to compete, but we know they can't. Honestly, there is NO reason to buy any other MP3 player besides the iPod. The iPod is changing the way we hear music, and it's much better than the questionable iRiver.

Bonsai for everyone!
Harry Tomlinson has created a tome easy to read and apply when working with bonsai. Other books bog down and are too vague for most hobbyists. This reference is clear and easy to follow.

First Rate Acting & Directing
I was very impressed with the story and main actors. This was acting at its very best. I am surprised that Mr. Beach and Mr. La Salle are not box office maga-stars. This movie is a perfect example of how Hollywood overlooks the best actors and best directors in America.

Didn't work!
This item was meant to be a gift for my father. So I simply wrapped the box without first testing it (I didn't want it to look pre-opened). It was quite embarrassing when he opens it and tries to plug it in but nothing happens. No light, no noise, no nothing. It simply had no power running through it. When purchasing this item, I had read some other reviews about this happening and figure: "It won't happen to me!" But it did, so it can. I was able to return it to Amazon for a full refund. So if you purchase this shredder, know it might come with a little extra hassle.

do not buy this game
Sony Online Entertainment took an Empire Divided and destroyed it slowly. They had 2 major "upgrades" The first was not good and the last one called the NGE completly changed the game so much so that they release these new "starter kits". The servers are empty and anyone who has played will tell you the same thing. to keep away.

The Best of New York City (their 1st two albums)
For the collector, this is the CD to have. Rather than "The Best Of," it is actually New York City's first two albums, as they were originally released, on one CD. And, since, to my knowledge, they only released two albums, this CD might more aptly be titled "The Complete New York City." The critics don't seem to agree with me. However, though their first album, "I'm Doin' Fine Now," contains the "hits," it is their Thom Bell produced second album that is the real gem. By then, NYC had stopped trying to sound like the Spinners having developed its own sound, which was not as flashy but just as soulful. Not as "singles" oriented, "Soulful Road" has a stylistic continuity their first effort lacks. It remains one of my favorite albums and I highly recommend this CD for anyone who loves the Philly Sound.

Waste of Money!!!!
I purchased this item thinking it would suit my needs for a family vacation, I was wrong. I had a direct flight and carried the car seat to be stored on board. After my flight I noticed the bottom of the bag was completely torn. One of the straps snapped apart as I was carring it on my shoulders. The seat kept slipping inside the bag while I was rolling it. By the time we got home the bag looked like it had been through war. The material is cheap and apparently it does not suit all car seats. It was a complete waste of money!

Disappointing results
I bought this to grind various spices but have been very disappointed with the results. It just doesn't seem to grind very well and even with the jar half full the spices wouldn't fall into the grinding area meaning I was doing lots of turning without anything happening. This was the case with various sizes of spices. Maybe I just got a bad one, but this will be going in the yard sale pile.

Major let down..
Apartment 26's previous album, Hallucination, is one of my few 5-star albums. Naturally I was extremely eager to hear some new stuff from them after waiting all these years, but now that I have I'm really crushed. I put in the CD expecting a techno-industrial CD, instead I'm greeted with some alt-rock garbage.What the heck happened? Apt26 totally changed their sound (and it's not for the better).

The anime that started it all....
The 1963-1964 Astro Boy that made anime. Yes, it wasn't the first, but it was the most popular one. Now you can own the first 51 episodes of the original 60's Astro Boy. Also available is the 80's Astro Boy and the 2003 version, both also have 51 Episodes. In the future there will be a second box set of the 60's version.

there is much better willie than this
This album may have made him a star, but in my opinion this is weak compared to others. You cannot compare this disc to phases and stages or red headed stranger. These are willie nelson classics. this disc is just classics performed by willie. Pass on this disc and please pick up phases and stages and red headed strangers. If you want a very good disc from him in the 90's, pick up spirit. It too is very good, by rather mellow.

Pretty good information in Frommers
Frommers covers too much ground in this guide - there are just too many islands to keep up with, I think. The basic information was good, though. I think on line sources are more current - and interactive. We did use the book to start our search for vacation spots - it was good for narrowing down the options before I began searching the net.

This thing's outer layers will disintegrate on you within the month. For that one month it is an alright stress reliever. The one positive aspect of this product is that at the rate it has fallen apart, it won't sit in a landfill for more than a year before degrading to dust.

An essential reference to any Civil War Enthusiast
This is a must have book that outlines each Confederate General who fought in the Civil War. From their beginning to the end of their life, each General of the Confederacy is listed, as well as their picture. From the great and popular Generals such as Robert E. Lee, Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson to more obscure generals such as Francis Nicholls and Paul Octave Hebert, each of these are analyzed and given honest treatment to their conduct and bravery during the Civil War. This is a defifite MUST have to any Civil War Historian, Librarian or enthusiast. Highly Recommended!

Good ideas, bad writing
The Hickory Staff is a bit of a mixed bag. On the one hand, the basic ideas are pretty good. I like the storyline, overall. However, it's full of the most awful cliches and lazy writing imaginable. Imagine a movie adaption of The Loard of the Rings, but this time directed by John Woo and starring Vin Diesel and you'll be just touching the edges of how cheesy this book gets.I did a search on Amazon for the authors and one of them seems to be a true crime writer, which would explain the penchant for being constantly overly-melodramatic. (Imagine a Steven King story as told by a 13-year old drama queen.)The characters are paper-thin. There is no real depth to them and their emotions and reactions are canned responses with all the sophistication of a beer commerical.This book gets two stars for the ideas and nothing at all for the story-telling itself.

THE #1 Reference for State Department Language Students
This review is going to be really simple. I completed the Spanish course at the State Department's Foreign Service Institute. It's a good course, but I don't know ANYONE who survived the pace without this book.I agree with some other reviewers who call it a crutch. For me, it's more like a wheelchair. But on the other hand, I can't count the number of times I'd have been flailing trying to remember say, conditional forms of sostener, por ejemplo.I wish someone would create that machine in THE MATRIX where they upload you with Spanish, but until then, it's going to take the old fashioned way.Take the plunge and buy this baby.

Too hard - choking hazard - go with the bites or vines instead.
I give this product 2 stars because the taste is really good, and the ingredients are natural and I did not have an allergic reaction.But this product is really hard. Nearly impossible to chew. I almost choked on it a few times before giving up. I'll have to throw the whole case away - I can't eat them. I even tried microwaving the laces for about 20 seconds, which helped, but as soon as they cooled down they went hard again.My advice is to stick with the vines or the bites, the bites being the softest of all. I am off to order a case of raspberry bites....

A Bunch of Baloney
This book represents more of the PR drivel that Microsoft historically has dished out. It clearly proves that Gates has relied on the ideas of others for greatness, as the man does not have an original idea in his head. At the same time, it is true that he is a brilliant wheeler and dealer, and master manipulator of markets. His forte has been as a rip-off artist, as the evidence coming out in the current DOJ trial clearly shows. If the road ahead is dominated by Bill Gates, it will be a sorry state for consumers and competitors alike. Read "The Microsoft File: The Secret Case Against Bill Gates" instead.

i hated this album from the minute that I heard it
By the time I bought this album, I had already worn out my "The Sign" cassette. I expected this album to be just as good or even better than the first one. I was soo wrong! The songs on "The Bridge" did not have the consistent dance beat that "The Sign" had. :-( The only really good song on this album is "Its a beautiful life". My problem with this album is that most of the music sounds repetitive.

Don't buy it if you don't "do" Santa with your kids.....
....unless you wish to be offended. I don't know about you, but I don't appreciate being portrayed as an "unattractive adult" and told that I enjoy seeing bad events unfold and/or raining on other people's parades. Aside from being judgemental, the book is beautifully illustrated and a good length for the price. Pages are on the thicker side, so that's nice. I wish it wasn't under the tone that it is.

A truly unique and memorable read.
Morgan Llywelyn continues her tradition of scholarly work with Druids, a forceful account of the war between the Celts and the Romans. Unlike other texts I've read dealing with the Gallic Wars, Llywelyn draws on the history of the Celts to tell her story. With Druids, the largely unsung story and timeless wisdom of the Celts vividly shines through. I've read Druids three times and I still keep picking up new qualities to cherish about it.

Religious not Spiritual.
An apparently authentic NDE (near death experience) written from a religious point of view that misses the deeper spiritual implications. The author's sense of self is clearly tied up in his religion which distorts and misses much of what is important from a more authentically spiritual perspective.

It is the unmistakable touch of grace
i first saw this book at the airport in dallas and it caught my eye. I really didn't want to buy a hardcover book and cart it around for a week on my trip, so i left the book store. i couldn't stop thinking about it though and ended up going back and buying it. I read the book on my trip and couldn't put it down. i worked through a lot of stuff and cried and related to everything. i went on the silent retreat Cheryl went to and it was amazing. i've bought the book for four of my friends and they have in turn bought it for their friends. It may connect with you and if it does you will be rewarded. Go for it! Learn how to make the most of your life.

My dog loves 'em...BUT
...just be sure to wash each one before you give them to your dog(s) because during its processing, traces of chemicals are still left intact on the rawhides. My dog used to have upset stomach every time I gave him one of these, so I did a little google research and found out some disheartening information as to why he might be getting stomach aches. Otherwise these are great, his stomach no longer gurgles like crazy and he's keen on chewing these more than ever now. Just wash/rinse them with water inside and out and they'll be fine :)

the whole series so far was great.i read the whole drizzt do'urden series and that was amazing my r.a. salvatore if ure looking for good books read his, the rest of the war of the spider queen series was pretty good except for the last one. the characters didnt develop on the rest of what happened in the rest of the series, it had some good twists with hallistra melarn but i thought the last one kinda sucked. its like the perfect storm the movie but in a book it has kind of the same ending except those who should die and who are annoying live. and those who shoudlnt die die and it was really gay. ide give this book a 1.85 star if possible the plot that he had was kinda weak and overall the development of loth didnt work out and i just think it was a bad way to end the series!

Angela's One of The Best!
I didn't really get into Angela until after her series of strokes. I do remember a slow jam a friend of mine had on a tape that I played over and over until I gave it back to Keith. I never bothered to ask him who sang the song and it always bothered me. Fast forward 30 odd years later and who is on Unsung but Angela singing "Tonight I Give In." I was elated and a very sad because I more than likely will not hear this amazing woman live. Nonetheless I would recommend this cd as a start,but what you should do is get every single record this woman ever put out!

This Homeschooling Family Loves it!
My 9 year old son is studying Rome as part of our unit study and I picked this book up because I thought that it looked interesting... well, I completely underestimated it!!! He devoured this and I believe that his independent research of Rome outside of "class" is a result of the clever illustrations and nibblets of information that come across in interesting ways throughout this book. I went ahead and ordered the books on Pompeii and Roman Soldiers and he absorbed them with the same hunger and speed. This is a series that we will be adding to our history studies for sure. I could not recommend this more - it is fun and education, just what school should be!

See never disappoints
I've loved every novel I have read by Lisa See. However, I normally do NOT read non-fiction. I decided to try this book and really enjoyed it. I'm a slow reader, but still managed to finish it in two days. See's flowing, descriptive style as well as the interesting lives of her family made the book entertaining.I was surprised to see some reviewers give this only one star because they felt she was racist. I imagine they also did not enjoy "The Help", Faulkner's "Light in August" or just about anything written by Toni Morrison. Sorry folks, but racism has existed in this country for centuries. I'm not proud of it, but it is a part of our history and I didn't feel that See portrayed it in anyway other than through the eyes of its victims.

Gerber's Product Quality Has Declined
I bought this knife exactly 6 months ago; which means that after shipping and handling, I have had this knife for a couple days less than 6 months, but the screws on the side of the knife have come undone and the siding of the knife has fallen off, along with the two screws that were holding it in; they aren't regular screws, so I'm forced to now pay shipping to Gerber for a knife, which I have owned for less than 6 months, so that they can take it and screw the screws back into it... I have no doubt this will be a recurring event, might as well just throw it away. This isn't the first Gerber knife I've had this problem with, their paraframe II did the same exact thing, but with that knife the damage from losing screws was far worse since it was a paraframe. I use to recommend Gerber, but I'm afraid I can't any longer.

Why does everyone have a problem with this song?
Sure it's not one of Britney's best, but it's a great & catchy track. The girl can sing! Everyone's going to slag off Britney at some point, and right now, everyone seems to be doing that, saying her new album is rubbish and whatever, but it's just going to be typical Britney stuff! You have to forget she's only 21, and every singer has an "off" song. If she keeps her career going, she's going to have a lot more "off" songs, which not everyone is going to like. But I have to disagree with nearly every other reviewer about this track - it's a great track to dance around and shake your booty to!

Easy on your hands, easy on your cans!
This can opener is comfortable to grip and the locking mechanism makes opening cans a breeze.The handles are smooth, rounded, and thick, which reduces the pressure exerted on your hands that is common with skinnier and blockier handles. Once you get the blade through the can, the locking mechanism allows you to focus on twisting and not squeezing, which is also great for those with sensitive hands.The magnet on this can opener is strong enough to move lids around and position them to be safely picked up, but it isn't strong enough to completely pick up most lids, which would have been a nice addition. But in the end, this is the best can opener I've used.

Great graphics, marginal gameplay, batting cursor must go!
... ... ...I bought TP and was very impressed by the graphics, which blows away its competition, but the gameplay needs work. What EA really needs is to make the batting cursor/visible strike zone OPTIONAL. For a beginner, this would come in handy, but for hardcore baseball fans and gamers, the batting cursor/visible strike zone must go. It's too easy to hit the ball! That's no fun. As a result, boredom is inevitable and replay value is low. So, I returned TP and bought High Heat, which is the only baseball game out on the market that DOES NOT have the batting cursor/visible strike zone, but the graphics look like PS1. Gameplay is fair, but I prefer TP's. What would be great is if all the best features of all the PS2 baseball games were combined into one game. That'd be ideal. EA, I hope you're reading this :) Go Mariners!

If you are looking for information this book (As the title says) does not provide information on the medical side of Cancer. It is about people involved in the day to day struggle of living with and hopefully recovering from this disease.

A Poor Effort, But With Some Enlightening Moments
This was a crumby remake of a bona fide classic television show, and might be considered okay if you never saw the real thing. For old Beaver fans, though, the film had its (rare) moments. Christopher McDonald's portrayal of Ward Cleaver was very close, and he truly shone a couple of times when expressing irritation -- he captured the exact tone we used to hear from Hugh Beaumont, when his "Ward" was upset or angry. The effect, though brief, was hilarious.And we realize from this film that Ken Osmond's "Eddie Haskell" was a superstar of a television character, an unforgettable icon of teenage obnoxiousness -- and no one in the universe could ever portray Eddie with the same gusto, spirit and benign teen sleaze as Ken Osmond did.It's time for the old Beaver episodes to be put on DVD, so new generations can enjoy them.

Black Sabbath - self-titled (Warner Bros.)
Review number 227.Originally unleashed upon an unexpected world of young hard rock listeners in 1970.Was,of course the band's chilling debut record.Many say that this lp was one of THE most influential heavy rock albums of all time.I believe it.I remember hearing about HOW Sabbath's very first tour literally shook the walls of mid-sized concert venues.Your CD player will register this disc as having five tracks,but there seems to be ten actual songs,many of them run together.From the stunning opener(complete with church bells-a-ringing)the band's namesake "Black Sabbath" to "Behind The Wall Of Sleep",the blues-like "The Wizard" and "Sleeping Village",one gets to fully experience vintage doom metal here.I mean,those current stoner/doom bands you hear of today are nice,but THIS is the real thing.Most highly recommended.

Very Good Information - But Needs An Updated Version
This book has lots of common sense examples about what businesses have done right and wrong in their marketing planning. It's an enjoyable read, however the book's examples are what happened 18 years ago. The message is still clear today, but while highlighting IBM, Blockbuster, (the old Sam-run) Wal-Mart, and (new at the time) neXt computers as a few named, all these companies later violated the rules themselves and joined the other mis-managed companies listed. It is a great book and worth the purchase, but a serious rewrite, digital updated version, or sequel would be in order (and interesting) since this book was printed in 1994.

Seriously?
I really don't know why I write a review for this pathetic narrow-minded thing. Just a TAD of logic..... you're learning about Wicca from a Fundamentalist Christian. Learn about Wicca from books that were written by people who are WICCAN. Then you can decide whether you need to "protect your teens" from this "horrible witchcraft fad". I'm just saying, if you're thinking about buying this, why protect your teens from expanding their spiritual nature, and learning about a positive nature based spirituality?I, personally, think that it is negative to read any book that downgrades ANY religion. I mean, what is the POINT? Half of the things you read will be biased lies. i'm not just saying this for this book, but for any book like this, even one like, "Why Christianity is horrible and narrow minded and stupid" (no I do not believe that, fyi)Blessed Be )O(Elyssa

Title is very misleading
I bought this on clearence for just a few dollars and am very glad I didn't pay more for it.As the other reviews state, this book is simply a compilation of VW Trends articles put together by the editors to try and make a buck. There is no continuity and the articles are not detailed. If someone is already a mechanic, it may be help a little by showing how it's specific to VW, but do NOT expect to be able to accomplish any of the tasks simply by reading the articles and looking at pictures.Furthermore, each task is frequently for a specific model year, so the title "1949-1967" means there are articles pertaining to those years but not that each procedure discusses how to make perform the task for all years.I am extremely disappointed with this book.

A serious lesson in music and sound production
Folks, no matter what you're musical persuasion and even if you don't have any, you should have this in your collection.If you know of a better piece of work by any artist I wanna know!Down the years my tastes have drifted to the likes of Vangelis, classical, you name it.. Still I have come back to this album again and again. It's a magnificent blend of energy and beauty and I aggree that it is rare that you find a live performance so good. It will serve music history as "Citizen Kane" has served film history. Well maybe that's an overstatement but I'm not sure..Now there's just one thing I am dying to know - when will we ever get to buy this gem on video/DVD? Were those "Hot August Nights" even captured on film at all?Finally, if anyone attended these concerts back in '72 I would dearly appreciate if they sent me an email - steve@aztechouse.com

Fit perfectly, nice padding. Good product.
I bought my ironing board at Target a long time ago and finally needed a replacement cover and padding. The cover comes with a fitted fabric outside and a foam pad for underneath. The item fit perfectly on the board and around the frame to where you snap the cover into place on the frame. Fits nice and snug so it doesn't shift. Highly recommend this product for the exact dimensions the cover is listed for.

An entertaining escape to the past
I missed this series when it was broadcast and am always searching for good science fiction in a world that prefers vapid reality trash. I am half way through season one and it has grown on me by degrees; once you look past the sea of beige space uniforms that reflect the fashions of the time , the episodes are entertaining and have a more serious tone as the crew often suffer and die rather than having the happy endings for every episode. I dont mind dated technology and special effects, this is classic science fiction. Barbara Bain appears a little wooden to me but it does not detract from the series. Martin Landau is wonderful as the commander with tough decisions to make as the moon base hurls through unchartered space . I recommend this series for classic science fiction fans and those searching to escape the vulgarity of current television reality shows,et.al.

Not a Family Affair to remember
when I heard the Family Stone I start thinking Sly&the Family Stone,but not this Corny dime a dozen cliche film that basically resembles any Tv show that profits off Dysfunctinal. this film never gets off the ground for the simple fact it can't make up it's mind if it wants to be a Comedy or a Drama.unlike Sly&the Family Stone this Film never takes you Higher.

Just... weird.
CD's should CLEARLY say if songs are remixed, live, or just plain different versions. The "Remix" Disc 3 has some okay stuff... the rest of it sounds just plain weird.

We get the point already! Demson loves Barth & likes Frei!
This is possibly the driest book that I have ever read, definitely drier then Kant, Lindbeck, or Frei himself. Basically Demson states that Frei does not have an adequate enough reading of Scripture, whereas Barth does. Barth suggests that it is impossible to read the Scriptures without understanding Jesus' relationship with the disciples. This is fine, but the problem with the book is that out of the 110 pages of writing, Demson only gives a few pages of his thoughts. 90% of this book is a meticulous reading of Barth's Church Dogmatics and Frei's Identity of Jesus Christ and Scripture itself. Plus, it is constant restatement that Frei does not discuss the disciples enough and how great Barth does with the disciples.This might be an adequate book if you are one who wants to read everything about Barth or Frei (of which I am one), but do not be surprised if you become disappointed.

Beyond the scope of most restorers.
This book is good for a highly experienced restorer who has a TR4 in very poor condition and needs to do a lot of rust repair. It is not for your average hobby restorer, or anyone doing a restoration on a solid car. It provides absolutely no information on finish work and original TR4 details. I feel the restoration work this book focuses on is beyond the scope everyone except the top 10 percent of those in the hobby.

Glitchy, buggy, undependable performance on two units
First one arrived but did not display photos properly. The images were off-center so that the center of the photo was pushed down and to the right by about 2 inches. This pushed the far right of the photo to the far left of the picture frame and the bottom of the photo to the top of the screen.Returned it to Amazon and ordered a replacement.Second one arrived with the same problem, but the images were only off-center by about .75 inches. If the glitch in the units just shifted the photo down and to the right so that part of the photo was just missing or offscreen, I might not even notice or care for most of my photos, but the glitch pushed the image down and right but reproduces the "lost" part on the left and top, which really made it hard to look at the photos.I'm trying a different brand.

My Favorite Birthday Present
I received an autographed copy of this book and was hesitant to read it. I am a big fan of Martin Amis and bent the spine and folded corners in it right away!Amis's flexability as a writer is evident in this book.The stories in this book are different from The Rachel Papers and Dead Babies. For those familiar with his work, it fits somewhere in the middle. For those not, this would be a good one to start.

5 Stars, of course!
We have used this book as a text for discrete math courses in our undergraduate Computing Engineering and Systems program (University of los Andes, Colombia). There are a lot of advantages using this approach instead of the classical one (e.g., people really learn to prove and learn to write correct proofs).However, to grasp these ideas you have to be patient and open minded. When other reviewers give 1 star to the book it is clear for me that perhaps they were expecting something magical that did not occur. This presentation of logic and its applications to informatics provides an excellent way to learn and really use the knowledge in the praxis.In Chapter 8 you go seamlessly from propositional to higher order logic. Sums and logical quantifications are, for example, treated in an uniform way. Maybe the type concept is not so fine explained, but one has to remember that this is an introductory book.5 stars, of course.

Eat out More Often by Rudy Ray Moore
I've listened to a bit of explicit language comedy and music through the years and enjoy some music from the past that is irreverant and sometimes naughty. Rudy Ray Moore is more of a comedian that would appeal to grass root levels of listeners and probably not the average Bible Belt thumpers who, upon hearing this type of language and content, purse up like a lemonade drinker who forgot the sugar. His stories are mostly made up as he goes from his repetoir he's used through the years in bars, auditoriums and tents to entertain those of us out there who enjoy a ribald delivery. Not real polished or poised to please he is just Rudy Ray.

Didn't know what to think.
I like Jim Carrey, but I don't understand Hollywood's obsession with penguins. I don't recommend to anyone tired of the MPAA's same old garbage.

Best Rack Ever
Sturdy, practical, space saver, priced right... I would recommend this rack to anyone who is looking for the perfect rack. You cannot find this out there - I am glad aI bought it and have no regrets. I was skeptical when I bought it but I took a chance - I cannot think of any cons. Take my word, I am hard to satify. This is one of those things that you buy and think it is one of the best buys you have done in your life.

Not Iron and Below Usual Le Creuset Quality
I've used it and sent it back. My iron Le Cruset products are great. This one, made of steel and coated with enamel, started chipping on the exterior and interior after only one month of use. I was not impressed.

A fun game..,but not the best spiderman I have played.
This game is advertised as being absolutely huge. There are sewers and subways and of course the huge city underground. There are 42 missions, most of which are very fun. There are races, they are pretty boring, hard, and monotonous. There bomb runs where you play mini games to defuse bombs, and combat tours killing so many baddies. Bomb tours are my favorite.It still feels like they don't take advantage of the huge enviroment they created. The fighting and camera work is so so. If you only get to play one spiderman game-make sure it isn't this one, go for Ultimate Spiderman where you can actually play Venom, but this is a close second.

Great value!
this is actually a horror movie the kids could watch! I laughed at some of the costumes and the " good old boy mentality" of the presentation, but the story-line was done well. the actors, mostly unknowns did a fine job of the material they had.All in all, not a thinking person's movie , but entertaining none the less.

Definantly Different
This book started out ok but into the fifth chapter it got a little bit ridiculous, that's when I stopped reading it. I have read a numerous amount of her books and this one is the worst yet. It was so predictable. I did read the last chapter, just to see what happened, and I would have to say that I knew the ending before I even finished reading it.

Terrible vacuum
This machine is very difficult to use. It is heavy with large stiff wheels. If you loosen a wheel as per other reviews, it will then fall off continuously. The screw is not a slotted or Phillips, but some sort of weird hexagonal which is hard to adjust unless you have special tools. The machine is a bear to work with. The suction is great, as everyone mentions, but you can't get it where you want without much labor. I went back to my old Dirt Devil after 2 weeks of wrestling with this pig. It may be fine for large homes and deep cleaning, but horrible in apartments.The low price of $88 will make it less painful to throw out with the garbage, where it belongs.

Spectacular CD! I couldn't wait for it to come out and now I can't wait to drive to work, drive the kids to gymnastics, drive to the grocery store, just so I can listen to it (and sing along of course)! Phil puts so much energy into every song. You just can't be in a bad mood after listening to his music...guaranteed you'll find yourself humming something from this CD all day!!! Thanks Phil!!!

Could have been so much better. OK story line, but poor audio and shallow character development leave you bored quickly. Recommend skipping, isn't worth your time or money.

It had a good walkthrough but it lacked many secrets.
I for one have played FF7 countless times. This unnofficial guide did have a good walkthrough. It really helped me get through the game... But it lacked many important things.Unlike the Official FF7 Strategy Guide it lacked detailed boss information and weaknesses. It did not show how to defeat the Ruby and Emerald Weapons. Plus it didn't even show the easy way to get a gold chocobo. I have stated that this guide has a satisfactory walkthrough. I wouldn't recommend it. If I were a prospective buyer I would stick with the official strategy guide!
