Not all natural
I thought about getting this product but then I found out that it contains mineral oil and white petrolatum - both are petroleum derived ingredients. Better, and safer, options would be Badger diaper cream or Burt's Bees Baby Bee diaper ointment which do not contain nasty synthetic chemicals.

Beautiful harmony!
What a blessing to have this CD available. I bought several for gifts. The harmony and blending of voices is wonderful. It does my heart good. Thank you!

Not a durable paddle
This paddle has a very limited durability. After purchasing two paddles, both ended up snapping off where the handle meets the rubber.

Doesnt work as advertised
This is a cute toy, I will give them that. And I didnt realize until much later that it played music. But it doesnt clip to ANYTHING. We have yet to find something that this toy will clip too. It collapses on everything, it falls on her. We ended up taking the toys off of it and hanging them from other things. We could have done that with toys she already had. This was a waste of money.

disappointed
I looked forward to the release of Ana and Ravi's new titles very much, but have to say I am disappointed.The workout is still a good one, but like what another reviewer had said, the background was very distracting and so was the inconsistent and roving camera. I also found the music too loud and the pace too fast.

NEW ENGLAND ONLY is the focus
This is a compendium of New England horrors from past articles in 'Yankee' magazine....a little dry, but not a bad coffee table book if it is in good condition. Me, I got mine new some thirty plus years ago.It has good things on little known horrors such as the Worcester Tornado, lighthouse capsizings, gales, the Boston Molasses Flood, etc.

don't buy for your kids...
Ham once again is teaching his extrabiblical teachings to our kids. Instead of teaching scripture, he is trying to profit from the new interest in dinosaurs for the benefit of his radical group. We need books that show real biblical teachings about science, not ones like this.

I find these cards very difficult to use. Shuffling is impossible and and the instructions vague. That said, I still like and am intriqed buy the idea of these cards. I believe that you can change your thoughts and change your life (Dr. Wayne Dyer). I am still wiling to give the cards a chance.

My son loves it. My complaint is that it lasted about 8 months. I thought the battery died, but the whole engine did. Once dead, it's pretty useless because you can't push it on the tracks.Just bought a replacement.

Blurry pictures
We bought this camera so we could take pictures while on land based excursions from a cruise ship. We had booked beach and kayak excursions and I didn't want to risk my camera to the water adventures. The price was right and I didn't really want to spend the amount needed to protect my Nikon from water as I figured only to take 20 or so pictures and probably never use the case again.The camera did and excellent job of taking pictures, but due to the protective case used to protect it from water, almost all my photos came out blurry. I'm sure that's due to the fact that the case is molded plastic. The camera outside of the case is fine for a simple 35MM.

Helpful guide but not for the beginner
I've read a number of books on FengShui, and found this book beautifully illustrated. It offered many details about the background and different types of feng shui methods, which while informative could be very confusing to a beginner. I agree with the other reviewers that although it was reader friendly, it offered few or too brief solutions and the possible need for another book. Perhaps her smaller books would be good companions to this one. Just-A-Note: At the same time I bought this, I also ordered CREATING SACRED SPACE with FENG SHUI, Learning the Art of Space Clearing by KAREN KINGSTON. After reading both books, I consider SACRED SPACE to be a must have, a book that should always be the first feng shui book anyone reads. It can change your life.

Jolly, quirky historical fiction
Frances Trollope, famous in the 1800s for her book attacking the United States, ostensibly wrote this as a biography of her equally famous friend Fanny Wright, the radical and feminist. The story of her friend meanders through the pathways of Mrs Trollope's own life and adventures, which often take center stage in this jolly and edging-toward-doddering narrative. In this story of two now-forgotten women, we experience the struggles of living in the 1800s and the burgeoning nation of America, and it is all rather delightful, but Edmund White includes more. Through the veil of historical fiction, White contemplates gender inequality, American politics and culture, racial distinctions, and religion, and allows the readers to draw parallels to modern day. "Fanny: A Fiction" is a conversational, quirky novel that may surprise some readers.

Wonderful meditation enhancement!
I've used many types of music over the years with my meditation. No matter how beautiful, the thing that has always bothered me is the fact that music creates a certain distraction factor. The melody, no matter how soft or subtle, makes me focus on it rather than my meditation (external focus vs. internal).This CD has changed that. It is wonderful and relaxing to listen to, but it has no true melody to create distraction. It is haunting, with a harmonic resonance that pulls me into a deep meditation unlike what I can typically achieve.

Recieved this item in poor packaging (would you believe in a priority mail envelope?) I did not recieve the information I needed to make it work. My father worked 5 hours on this item, I chose Linksys because it sounded like adurable product.I tried to talk to the Amazon client but all he/she was concerned about was he/her rating and he/her would not answer any of my questions.It felt generic and then creepy and then it started to feel like harrassment. I reported them to Amazon and they stopped bothering me about the item.I ended up going to walmart and buying an expensive wireless modem at this point was through chasing cats. Works well.

Blech!
This is not a condemnation of the movie itself which is fantastic. This is to warn people who care about such things that Funimation is flat out lying on their DVD boxes. They claim that the DVD is 16:9 and it is not, it's 4:3 widescreen. Instead of filling the entire screen or even having black bars on the top and bottom, I have black bars on all four sides of the screen and it makes it useless to watch this on a large TV. I never would've bought this if I had known what was in store for me after I popped it into my player.

I had a Samsung LTM225W for 15 months and then it just went bad. (I replaced the power convertor to no avail). I'm now dealing with Samsung's extremely poor 12 month warranty offering. I've had TV last 20 years on me and now the most expensive TV I've ever bought didn't last 2 years! I'm very frustrated. If you buy Samsung products, consider getting an extended warranty plan since Samsung doesn't stand very firmly behind their products.

Helps with acne...
I normally use a 2% salicylic acid lotion for my acne. It doesn't completely solve my problem though so I've been looking for something stronger. This stuff is not exactly made for acne, but it is the same ingredient as my acne medicine except in a 3% concentration instead of 2%, so I thought I'd give it a try. One thing I like about it is that it has very few other ingredients (all of which are non-comedogenic), so I don't have to worry about the non-active ingredients causing me problems. It is slightly drying and has caused minor flaking, but nothing too major. I only use it at night though (and my regular 2% stuff during the day) because it doesn't work under make-up. It dries leaving an almost rubber-like coating on my skin, so when I try to apply make-up on top, the gel rubs off in a rubbery layer. It has made a minor improvement in my acne, but not as much as I'd hoped.

It's a vacuum belt.
This is a good vacuum belt. It's also easy to replace. I only wish they lasted a bit longer, hence the 4 stars instead of 5. If you have tall carpet or simply happen to vacuum a lot, the belts can wear down fairly fast (after about 6 months, which is faster than I'd like). The down side is that they are expensive, but other than that, they're great.

Too much Humanities
It focus too much in Humanities and its skills. It basically translates academia skills into teaching, and talk too much how useful teaching can be in other jobs. In science there is research without teaching, and there are probably (I hope) other skills that can be useful in non-academic jobs. I was looking for this kind of information or hints. It is true it gives some "tools" how to break your own research activities into more detailed "actions" (not really into skills), but still does not tell me which ones are interesting in non-academic jobs.

Questionable and Off-Target
I read this as a middle-school student as part of a faith-based curriculum, and I largely feel that it is off-target and questionable in terms of its historical accuracy. Considering that modern society has defined ``truth'' in terms of that which is attainable by the scientific method, the title of the book ``When Science Fails'' is largely a contradiction: The questionable historical accounts given in the book could better be considered examples of ``When Humans Fail'' rather than profound criticisms of the scientific method itself.Read this book if: You do not understand the scientific method; you do not want to understand the scientific method; and you want to read historical allegories of why it is wrong.Do not read this book if: You value your time or money.

I was a bit disappointed with this volume. Probably should have paid more attention to the description. I assumed that there would be an exploded view of each gun I own-and wanted to buy. This would then serve as "do all" reference for componentry. Not quite--lot's of drawings but not some of the more common Taurus revolvers among others. Some of the drawings are also a bit difficult to see/read numbers part shapes etc..Not a bad investment-just not a great investment. Excellent paperweight!!

Simplistic Waste of Time
This book was preachy, simplistic, boring and not helpful. It was neither motivational nor informative but it was a waste of money and my time.

Pretty good; bottom more difficult than top
I've used them for the full 5 days, and they really do whiten your teeth. They are much thicker than the other brand that are a little slimy around your teeth. The strips are more of a wax like substance that takes a little while to mold to your teeth, so some firm pressing and holding / molding works. I find the upper strips get easier to work in than the bottom strips, and I even broke one of the bottom strips taking it out of the package! Otherwise, they work well for the short period they are in your mouth.

Best product in its category.
Out of all of the whitening products I have tried, this product is the most user friendly. Nearly all of the "strips" on the market have the same levels of peroxide for whitening; the true product differentiatior is the usability of the product. This product conforms to teeth very securely, covers all areas, and does not loose its adhesiveness after 1.5 hours (as long as I have tested).

1st Person Narrative Really Gets You In Evan's Head
I really enjoyed the 1st person narrative that the author uses to tell his story. A "coming of age" novel in which gay men can relate. Evan longs for love while finding only sex. The sex satisfies his hormones, yet he wants more... he wants normalcy. There's a clear under current hear that his orientation has developed from his enstranged relationship with his father. The characters are well drawn. Some of Evan's fantasies are hard to grasp and relate with in context to the story line. All in all, beautifully written.

Not a true solution
I didn't find this method any different than the cry it out method. After all, you are just leaving your baby to cry in his crib...though the authors suggest only allowing so for an hour at naptime. Well, after an hour of sobbing uncontrollably, my baby could NOT get to sleep, and I was heartbroken that I even attempted this. There are gentler ways to help your baby sleep.

Be an un-rude (not necessarily polite) Gaijin
If you are Japanese, this book will show you (1) how Americans who seem rude to you might actually be trying to be polite; and (2) how you can tailor your politeness to American ears.If you are American (or Western, in general), this book will teach you how to interpret as acts of politeness some seemingly quirky Japanese customs. However, if you want to learn how to be polite in Japan (rather than just un-rude), this book might well come up short.A rather short read, this book's coverage of Japanese-American misunderstandings is mostly anecdotal. Also, because the book is over 20 years old, it does not peer into the rather different minds of Japan's younger generations.

Stylish and practical nursing top
love the front flap design of the Japanese Weekend D&A tops. Easy access and offers a lot of coverage. I own several of these styles. I do not need to use additional coverups when nursing in public, in fact. This particular top is a favorite as it is quite versatile. I wear it to work with black pants, add a jacket for meetings and pair it with jeans or yoga pants on the weekends. Plus, it is machine washable and does not need ironing. What else can a new mother ask for?

I tried. I really did try to like this show. But after a certain amount of stereotypical vamp-angst, teen drama, and bad acting, I finally quit. I gave it a fair chance--I think I quit 4 or 5 episodes in--but I just couldn't stand the level of the actors and even the script. The plot is okay, I suppose. If you're really into high school (or IN high school) and really into vampires... go ahead.

great collection!
If you're a huge Vampire Diaries fan like me, you'll appreciate this collection and the series in HD. I only gave it one less star from perfect though because my Disc 2 skips during the Caroline/Damon bedroom fight. Other than that, I'm pleased with the content and love how well-written the series is when you put all episodes sequentially!Mind you, I'm also someone who thinks True Blood's storyline is lame and the Twilight saga is definitely too 'teen-ish'. This series falls just in between of both and it helps that Kevin Williamson is one of the involved writers/producers!

good case
This is a good case for my new Sony camera, though the value for money aspect kept me from giving it a perfect score of five stars.The fit for the camera is snug, and it manages to provide the camera's body with adequate protection without being bulky. It also resists scratches -- I've used mine for several weeks and have already traveled with it a great deal, and it still looks new (and thanks to the case, so does the camera). It even comes with a variety of carrying straps, assuring that at least one will suit your needs. It is obvious that a great deal of thought went into the case, just as it did the camera.

defective--only two front wheels are turning
Our battery operated James is defective. At first we thought that this train is different built than our other battery operated train Salty and therefore weaker. Salty operates almost perfectly, chugs up the hills and takes the turns, whereas James could not go up hills and could not pull wagons, and overall seemed much slower than Salty. Upon closer inspection and comparison with Salty (after return period was already over), we discovered that for Salty 4 wheels are powering the movement (eg., battery makes two front wheels and two back wheels turn), whereas for our James only two front wheels are turning. Of course, it makes sense that this way James cannot move as fast and as well as Salty. So our James is defective...hoping that we can exchange it.

Derails
We have Battery Operated Thomas and Battery Operated James. Other than the color they look very similar, and, I suspect, use the same mechanics. Unfortunately, James derails very often on the same tracks that Thomas has no problem navigating. I have two tracks: a coal sifter figure 8 and the oval starter kit from Target. James derailes on each one of the tracks separately as well as on the layout I created by combining the two sets. Sometimes it'd go around fine one time and then derail on the second run - very strange. Battery Operated Thomas almost never derails.On the positive side, my two-year old son loves these trains.

If it worked consistently it would be amazing
As soon as the batteries were in my son was not interested in opening or looking at any other Christmas gifts. Sadly, it stopped working within the first hour of playing. My dad was able to jostle it back to life a few times and we changed the battery once and it worked again for about 10 minutes. Now it is completely dead. And its wheels don't work like the regular trains so my son can't use it manually either. We absolutely have to return it. I have read that the battery powered Thomas works better, so we will try to exchange it for that one. It had no problems staying on our imaginarium tracks, pulling cars or going up hills when it was working. If it worked consistently it would be the perfect toy. For $30 it should be more reliable. It is NOT a "very useful engine."

This engine is cute and seems to be well constructed. It does a good job of going up ramps, is easy to turn on and off, and takes a single battery. However, it kept running off any curves in the train track. We decided to return it and look for something that will stay on our son's track.

The Nader Reader
Ralph Nader brought up many important issues in this year's presidential race. Many of these are seen throughout the writings in this book and it is apparent that the problems he talks about are not recent, nor are they going to go away without any massive efforts.Nader's style is a little dry and difficult to read at times, but the points he brings up (especially in the sections on the presidency, democracy, and grassroots organizing) are vital to the progressive movement. His sections on tort reform and law practice are a little more technical and are probably best understood by those in the field.Nader has stood by his convictions from the time he started fighting GM to today. This is an excellent book that traces his numerous crusades throughout the decades and gives a boost to the future.

However, when you read his books, you can see that he is really writing for the sake of the intellectual elite. He does not write to acoomodate average readers thus failing to get his point through to them. Well, so much for being a populist and a man of the people.Nader just does a lot of talking and writing and accomplishes nothing.In the presidential election, all he succeeded in doing was drawing votes away from Al Gore allowing George W. Bush to win the election giving us eight more years of Reagan-Bush policies which have ultimately led us to this financil disaster on Wall Street and all over the United States.

Loquacious and another world
For a person living and working in the British Isles, 'Teach Yourself Copywriting' by J. Jonathan Gabay may be a fine read. But I don't live there. Residency aside, I found this book to be overly wordy to the point of feeling like I was slogging through swamps of verbiage to find a useful morsel. And there are useful bits there, it's just that it boarders on not being worth the time and effort to get to them. Someone interested in the topic of copywriting would do better to read similar books by Robert Bly or Peter Bowerman, both much more interesting and succinct; my apologies to Brits everywhere.

Residency aside, I found this book to be overly wordy to the point of feeling like I was slogging through swamps of verbiage to find a useful morsel. And there are useful bits there, it's just that it boarders on not being worth the time and effort to get to them. Someone interested in the topic of copywriting would do better to read similar books by Robert Bly or Peter Bowerman, both much more interesting and succinct; my apologies to Brits everywhere.

Better than you realize
Like most, I was expecting(hoping) for something that hit me between the eyes as a classic(When doves Cry, Sign O' the times). And in that respect, I was disappointed. But being a fan, I forced myself to listen again without the expectations, as most non-fans will hear the song. And what I heard was a beautiful melody, a chorus that implants itself in your head, subtle guitar underscoring the singing, and harmonies that send chills. Yeah, it's commercial, but it's far, far better than most of the bland stuff I'm hearing on the radio. And nobody out there could sing a song like this the way he can.

This is my first PDA/Organizer
I purchased this about 4 months ago and it really is easy to use especially if you are familiar with Microsoft Word and Excel. I use it to copy files from my PC that I want to have handy. The only thing I wish it had is a backlight. But that hasn't come into play too often. I usually have to charge it every 2 or 3 days. I recommend this product if you are not worried about having a lot accessories to go with it, because they are not that many available.

Piece of Crap
I have ordered thousands of items in my lifetime, and bar none, this is the biggest piece of crap I have ever received. It is supposed to come completely put together, but when it arrived, there were no less than 10 little parts that had come off the screen assembly and one screen that was loose and all of its parts dangling. The first thing that happenned is that I cut myself on one of the screens because the protective side had come off. I was bleeding for quite some time. The second thing I noticed was the extremely poor quality of the material and assembly. I am very handy by nature, but even I had to give up trying to put this piece of junk back together again. Plus it was not worth it, even if I had put it together again, all I would have then had was a piece of crap fireplace screen.

Okay at first, but died pretty quickly...
My parents ordered me these new speakers when they got me a new monitor. For awhile, they did work fine, and the sound quality was great. However, the other day, they randomly died on me after about 3 months' use. I'm stuck trying to find another relatively inexpensive set of speakers (while still giving the audio quality I'm looking for).

Great Little Speakers for Music
I like to listen to internet radio and CDs while I work. Not listening too loudly, though I have been known to turn it up for the occasional song now and then. For my use and for the price, these are great speakers: not tinny, decent bass.

Great Bench Kit!
I made a small (24" long) warming bench for sitting next to our new Tilikivi fireplace using cherry 2 x 4's finished with rubbing lacquer. The 2 x 4 Basic bench ends are very sturdy and attractive. The green color is nice, but I sprayed them flat black with all purpose paint to match our other fireplace accessories. High quality product.

I purchased the item hoping that it would fit my Ridgid planner, which I purchased used and was about 8 years old.First I put through a piece of 2 X 6 without the collector on, what a giant mess! I put on the collector andI was stunned! 97% of all he wood shavings were sucked up. You can use the 4" port or 2 1/2" port.Buy this item, it will save you tons of time cleaning up

Huh? The CD's over? Best nap I ever took.
Ferry, Ferry, Ferry. WHAT ARE YOU DOING!? I can't believe that you mixed half of this crap. Frist off besides being boring, this complation is the same trance cd with the same songs that everyone else is putting out. With the likes of a genious such as Ferry Corsten, I expected something more. There are only a handful of songs that redeemed this cd. I'm not saying that the songs on it are bad, but rather old and played out. If I have to hear Bt's Dreaming on one more CD this year, I'm gonna shoot myself! If you truly like your trance to make you get up and dance, check Ferry's earlier work on the MOS series or check out any of the Euphoria cd's or Dj Tiesto. If you have a hard time going to sleep, this is the cd for you.

The Celtic Knotwork Handbook, a perfect book for beginers
If you are just getting started, or have been interested in knotwork for a while, this is a great book! It provides historical information, diagrams, how to make circular knots, anamorphics, and more than 100 original knots, which include corners, borders, and motifs. This is the best keltic knot book I've seen.

We love Mr. Putter and Tabby!
My children, ages three and five, adore Mr. Puuter and Tabby, and I believe this is Ms. Rylant's funniest rendition of their adventures so far. When the box arrived, I read the book alone because I couldn't stand to wait. Ms. Rylant uses a nice collection of short and medium-length words for beginning readers, and the story rollicks along. Mr. Howard's illustrations capture the subjects' expressions beautifully. We checked these books out of the library so often that we finally ordered some to keep.

MAC OS X SERVER Administrator's Guide
I was looking for a book that would be a guide to OSX Server since the information included with the software was thin at best. What I found was a text that took the little information that I found in the documentation and puffed it up to over 300 pages with not much more to offer. In all fairness I did pick up some information but it was not worth the price. I'll keep the book on the shelf but it will not be looked at often.

Bulb: 10,000 hours; transformer: 250 hours
The bulb is rated for up to 10,000 hours, but the transformer only lasted about 250 hours. The transformer is part of the cord and is not replaceable. Ott-Lite won't respond to my e-mail inquiries and doesn't list transformers as a replacement part. I tried a variety of sources for an 18w. transformer that could be modified to accommodate the lamp, but the cheapest I could find was about $30.00. I bought a brand new Hampton Bay table lamp (similar to the Ott-Lite lamp) at Home Depot for $20.00. If your Ott-Lite ceases to work you'll probably assume that the bulb must be replaced and spend $15.00 or so for a new bulb, only to discover that it's not a bulb problem. So you end up with a lamp that won't work and two bulbs you can't use on any other fixture. Don't buy Ott-Lite products...and exchange any Ott-Lite gifts you might receive.

Don't Buy Ott
Buyers, be warned! I bought an Ott Lite a year ago, and was using it for needlework. Then one day, it did not work. I bought a new bulb for it, and it still didn't work. Then I learned about the ballast problems, and join the long line of people that bought from Ott and have expensive lights that no longer work. A beautiful lamp is now done for. I'll never buy another Ott product again. Steer clear!

Extremely Useful for Me and Others
As a teacher and collegiate athletic coach I found "Taming Your Gremlin" and "A Master Class in Gremlin Taming" to be extremely beneficial. Carson's Gremlin Taming method helps me be aware of the barriers I create that limit my potential. By being aware of my own blocks, I am able to help my students and athletes notice theirs as well. We can both then move toward unleashing our fullest potential.While mastering Gremlin Taming is a life-long pursuit, I notice that the Method is easily applicable. It is for this reason I have given "A Master Class" and "Taming Your Gremlin" to All American athletes and Honor students. Often the difference between being good and being great is in their mentality.I strongly suggest "Taming Your Gremlin" and "A Master Class" to any teacher or coach who wishes to help their students or athletes excel.

My keyboard at work is so easy to use that I had to find something better for home. This one is actually really good for the price. It's not as flat as the one I have at work (sony vaio) but it is still really easy to use compared to most and it doesn't take up much room on my desk which is nice. I type extremely fast so I was looking for something that would keep up. This one does. The keys are fairly flat and light. I'm glad I bought it.

I expected more about how to create luck, maybe why people feel lucky and how they obtain it, not read pages and pages about luck in the casinos. Nothing really helped me in this book. Explaining others' Gambling and lucky streaks did nothing to help me and in fact bored me. Absolutely no meat to this book. Since I don't gamble, I thought I would scream when more and more pages about gambling began. This book was not what I expected at all. Very disappointed.

Obey the warning
This is a fun toy and my 2 and 6 year olds love it. However, there is a very hard to read warning on the underside of the train that says that hair may become tangled in wheels. They are not kidding! I had to cut that train out of my two year olds hair when he picked it up off the track and lifted it too close to his head. It happened in an instant! It was a bit traumatic for both of us. Fun toy, but can be dangerous.

Unbelievable- In a Bad Way
We bought this Thomas for our son who is a huge Thomas fan, and has a huge set up in his room. He has both the Thomas(this product, bought somewhere else) and the Percy model. The Thomas we had stopped working, and was a older model, so we bought this one to replace it. Our son was very upset when we had to retire his older Thomas, but we promised him a new one.We bought this product, and waited patiently to add it to our son's Thomas collection. When it came, we opened it right away, and were shocked when we were looking at the Percy instead of Thomas.We coulda/woulda/shoulda contacted the seller, but this "Thomas" product is already in our Tildsmen shed, since we opened the package with our son.With so many places to buy genuine Thomas gear, if you are paying the premium Thomas price, we expected a better product experience.

Almost Great, Until it Broke...
My son recieved this as a birthday gift 2 months ago. He LOVED it even though it didn't corner well on our Mellissa and Doug train track. He mostly let it run on the floor, not the track, so that wasn't that big of an issue. It did, however, break after one fall from counter height. My son let it drive off the kitchen counter and after only 2 short months it is officially broken. It can still be played with but because it is meant to be motor driven it doesn't work that well as a push-powered train. Overall I'm disappointed, a toy that only last 2 months just isn't worth it.

I bought this toy for my son who loves the "Thomas" toys. You need one battery to operate the train and it seems to work well - it can pull other cars quite weel and climb up and down the tracks. However, what I was not happy with was the advertizing on the box - which clearly stated that the toy can be also be pushed manually by the child. THIS IS NOT TRUE (unless I had two faulty trains)!! My son likes to watch the train pull the cars on its own, but he also like to the the pushing himself. You are not able to do that with this train. It is just meant for watching.

Classic Jessica Mitford
This is a compilation of a wide range of Mitford's articles, the best of which, such as her skewering of the "Famous Writers' School", are timeless classics. This is a superb collection, and a complete delight to read.

Comedy Scene, and Not Heard
This DVD will be a disappointment if you get it hoping to see some substantial portion of the acts of the various comics listed on the cover. All you get here are snippets of performance, at best. The rest is just loose-leaf reminiscence about the good old days in Boston, in the early 80's, when a lot of comics were hanging out together and getting their start.It's like a frat house reunion. There's a lot of lame nostalgia. There are quite a few guffaws recalling jokes (practical and otherwise)perpetrated - back then. But you had to have been there to appreciate all the basically good ol' boy camaraderie. If you weren't actually a part of that scene, all this joshing and jostling will fall flat.If you want to actually hear some of these comics' routines - you will have to look elsewhere.
