| My word, what a tedious book. I've read the other Hamilton books and, while they've had their problems (grammar, LKH, please learn grammar), they've been enjoyable for their humor and subject. But this one is by far the weakest she's cranked out. Whining is not character development, and neither is sex.Also, whatever you do, avoid the audio version of this book. I have a long commute and listen to a lot of audiobooks, but I've never heard such a horrible reader as the one who reads this book. No real attempt at character voices (or, most likely, no ability to do them) and the worst french accent I've ever heard. Avoid her like the plague! |

| Steffi's Club finds writer D.A. Blyler, author of the infamous Salon.com satire The 7 Vices of Highly Creative People, at the top of his game. Blyler is a keen and humorous observer of kitsch-laden sensibilities and he exploits them to their full extent in his protagonist Daniel Fischer. An American without a mission on the cobblestone streets of the Czech Republic, Daniel receives more than he bargains for when he accepts a job teaching flirtatious English to the girls at Steffi's Club, one of the town's most exclusive brothels. In less sure hands, the novel might simply be passed off as a pulpish expatriate novel of love, murder, and redemption, but Blyler kicks up dust outside such terrain to offer us a generational statement of those thirty-somethings who have fallen through the cracks of parental, academic, and worldly expectations--a generation that has long been waiting for a voice. |

| Get this book if you need to review Bio or you are taking an intro to Bio class or an A&P; class for review. THis is one of the best of the Dummy Science series and I wish the A&P; Dummy book was more detailed. If you have to help your teen with a high school Bio class and you need to review the Krebs cycle...this is your book!Great purchase. Would not have made it through my online Bio class without it!!! |

| While I have not had any problem with the suite itself, the Cinemagic codecs it installed created problems with Windows Media Player. It also has caused problems with non-media and non-Roxio programs. Though I have been able to work around these problems, the fact that it seems to have altered my system to the extent it affects totally non-related programs is of great concern to me. Customer service has also been completely non-responsive. I would strongly suggest customers find some other software for their needs. |

| Prince DuraTac Tennis OverGrip (3 pack) Color: BlackThis product is no where near the composition, cushion, quality or grip of the Prince Duratac grip that came on my Prince racket. Generic wrap from WalMart has more tac and grip than this material. Does Prince not sell the same material shipped on their rackets, or is this a nockoff? |

| In his fictional debut, Bernardo resurrects prerevolutionary Cuba replete with the sights, sounds, and odors of Havana's barrios, as well as its earthy lifestyle. He follows the fortunes of the butcher Maximiliano and his well-born wife, Dolores, who with their four children, come to the capital to make a new life after a hurricane destroys their entire village. Using the bulls of the title as a metaphor for the swaggering machismo of Cuban men, Bernardo turns this family saga into a brilliant tapestry of the human condition. Love, gossip, jealousy, fear, wisdom, sacrifice and death all swirl around Maximiliano and Dolores as their children grow up, leave home, and come to terms with their individual natures. The dignity with which the author imbues his characters and his engaging conversational style make for a wonderful novel. It should be a hit in most fiction collections. opyright, LIBRARY JOURNAL, February 1, 1996. |

| The design of the case itself is excellent. It is sleek and fits perfectly. The clip itself is removable from the actual silicone case.Unfortunately, there is one major flaw: the clip is built from very poor quality fragile plastic. After using the clip for a couple of weeks, the hinge of the clip snaps, splitting the clip into two pieces. I have removed the broken clip from the case, just using it as a skin now. The clip itself should have been made with metal instead of plastic.The clip was great while it lasted; unfortunately, it didn't last very long. Because the clip slides into a slot built into the back of the case, it may be possible to improvise a substitute replacement clip, |

| Referring toMy Romance - An Evening With Jim Brickman in ConcertJim Brickman is a very talented performer, song writer, and vocalist. This concert was a pleasure to watch and one to watch again, and again, and again.I loved too the performances by Donny Osmond. To me, that was two great artists coming together to make sweet music.Olivia Newton-John was also a guest artist on this concert and it is great to hear her voice again and as beautiful as ever.I loved the behind the scenes. They were hilarious and fun to watch.This is a definite 5 and more stars DVD and a must watch, must have DVD to add to your collection. |

| I was so excited to purchase this stroller, but am now so disappointed in the product. My son is a large [...] and I have a [...] daughter. I thought this stroller would be the solution to take walks and attend functions with my two kids. But, there are two major problems with this stroller. 1.) When using my daughters Graco car seat in the front seat, the front seat must be reclined so far that my son has to sit straight upright in a very uncomfortable position. 2.) There is no sun protection for my little boy when he is on the sit and stand seat. These are two factors that I didn't even think about before making this purchase. My brand new never used stroller is sitting in my basement storage room.Don't make the same mistake I made. Buy a regulare double stroller or a double jogging stroller. |

| I am a huge fan of Boston's first 2 albums. I saw this album at the record store and was very excited. I bought it out of loyalty without hearing a song on it. I really gave this album every chance. I really tried to like it. Bottom line is this CD will be collecting alot of dust. The first song is good but sounds just like Amanda. This song alone earns the 2 stars I gave this album. The rest of the album is a waste of space I'm sorry to say. I can't beleive it took what 7, 8 years to put this out. I won't be buying or even thinking about buying Corporate America. If you want somthing that sounds like bostom. Get the RTZ album. You won't be dissapointed. It's too bad but the real Boston with all the original members will probably never happen again. |

| The 2nd edition of this book is now available. This book had previously been reviewed as the best headache book on the market for physicians. It describes in detail all the different types of headache and dicusses all treatment and medications available. It is particularly good for what to do when nothing works. Although initially intended for physicians, this book is very understandable and readable for the patient as well. This is a "must have" for anyone suffering from headache. |

| I had high hopes for this book, based on the comparison to Sunshine. I thought that it was an interesting approach to symptomatic werewolfism. That was all it was.The heroine doesn't really do anything, other than be almost helpless, female, and appealing. It started well, good description and decent characterization, but then...it became the same as a thousand other romances. Oh well. |

| The End Times as Revealed to Maria Valtorta. She is right on the button. She has 5 other volumes which give the New Testament a modern treatment (from the point of view of language, not interpretation) but, if you want some up to date postings by another visionary currently being told of what's about to decend upon us all, you should look at [...]. and go to MESSAGES. If that doesn't make you straighten up your life, nothing will. |

| To check out how well-researched books actually are before you buy them. This book was historically inaccurate, with fantastical notions thinly disguised as "Magick". I should have known better than to buy a book on Celtic paganism from an author that publishes books on every other "brand" of paganism as well. She is a good writer, and the pictures are pretty, but the content belongs more in the "fiction" department than anywhere else. A better place to start: "Circle of Stones" by Erynn Laurie. |

| I agree with the other reviewers, my only complaint is with the quality of the dvd. It is overly dark in some scenes, and the sound at times is hard to hear. Over all it is worth purchasing when you consider the price. The film contains stock footage from several Paramount movies including the Gary Cooper version entitled Fighting Caravans. |

| This long but fascinating story of a military officer and a group of prisoners makes you wonder about two things:spoilers..1. Is it right to get a bunch of prisoners to do something very dangerous, as if their lives were totally expendable?2. Is it right to trap the enemy in a shelter and then pour in gasoline and grenades to kill them like fish in a barrel?Great casting and plenty of action will keep you intrigued. |

| I don't know what it is about the ants that periodically infest my apartment, but they only seem to be killed by products (like this) which contain Abamectin.Abamectin ant poison used to be readily available in area hardware stores, but now I can't find it anywhere. I tried ant baits/poisons made from several other ingredients but the ants just kept coming and eating them dry for weeks at a time.I finally ordered a can of these, and the ants were gone within a week. I highly recommend this product, especially if other chemicals aren't solving your ant problem. |

| This is a low budget film, and it shows. Terrible CGI, atrocious acting, and flimsy plot line. This is, however, a very fun movie to watch with a bunch of friend, simply to laugh the utter horribleness of this movie. I'd recommend it as a good time, not a good movie. |

| I can't believe how huge this belt is. I ordered it according to their recommended size, but it looks like it would fit an elephant and when I tighten it to fit, the material is all bunched up. Even if it wasn't so large around my waist I would not find this belt comfortable, it has a really big band that goes half way up my back and digs into my legs, so it is impossible to sit down in. I only wear it at home if I am going to be standing for a while, but it comes off the second I sit down. So unfortunately I can't wear this support when I go out, it is very difficult to put on and would be to much of a hassle, plus you have to take it off to use the restroom. I wish I had not purchased this product. |

| I have used Wright's book over the years and have found it to be the most thorough approach to training Christian's to counsel. He offers so many ways to instill such great truths into the believer so that he or she can pass it on in counseling ministry.

I can't say enough about this book...Just buy it and you will not be disappointed!Dr. Darlene Young |

| If you think the book is bad, the movie is worse. You are better off watching the trailers because then you at least get to miss the fluff and filler shoved in to make it a longer movie. Kind of like you can just read the first and last pages of the books, you probably get a better story. |

| Simply a great, if at times, painful movie. Although it's about Alcoholism, the plot could just as easily apply to any substance addiction.Ray Milland's peculiar delivery and diction is a good fit for this type of character and makes the movie very believable.

| I won't award this book one star for the same reason that I rarely offer five. Both are reserved for exceptional representations of the class good or bad, and if there is one thing this book isn't, it's exceptional. It's not exceptionally well written, not exceptionally appropriate, not exceptionally good, not exceptionally bad... in a word, it's quite unexceptional.It's a cute re-hash of the same tired think-outside-of-the-boxisms we've all heard for years, only this time, there's some cheese and a bunch of anthopomorphized rodentia serving as the principle characters. There is a subtle irony in writing a book about change that's fundamentally indistinguishable from all other books about change that seems to be completely lost on the author. Trust me, if you're not a complete halfwit, you've experienced change your whole life, and there is nothing new that this book has to offer, really. Not even a new allegory.... |

| If you already know programming, or you're happy with being given vague hints of what things do rather than an organized explanation, this might a fine text for learning Java. This book throws language features at you, without following any of them up with discussion when or why you might want to use certain features. So if you don't want the book's first programs to include all of: variables, loops, method calls, and boolean values all one one page (with only sporadic re-visitations to the topic), then another text might be better for you.To its credit, this book does manage to present the material in a way unlike any other, which can appeal to certain learning styles. |

| When my dad first gave me this book to read, it had the orignal cover, and was sort of deteriorating, and I had a feeling that I woudln't really like it. That was definitely NOT what happened! Ayla is a very inspirational character, and it's hard to put the book down once you start it. Unfortunetaly I was on vacation when I started it, so I had to stop reading, but I would have read it in a day! I quickly bought the other books in the series and read, each one better than the next, although the Clan of the Cave Bear was ultimatly the best one. I'd recommend the series to someone over the age of 13. It would be hard to follow if you were younger, and some parts are inappropriate, especially in the following books. This was one of my favorite books, and be warned: once you start, its so hard to stop! |

| I too have a worthless juicer from this company, it was used maybe 50 times in the year and a half I have owned it. I have several juicers in my basement, that were used a 1000 times or so and still work. I bought this juicer because of the larger feed tube which my old juicer didn't have. The warranty is a joke because at $30 plus shipping they are making a fortune on a part that cost them less then a dollar! If that screw on the LaLanne juicer hasn't cracked yet don't worry it will, that's part of the built in failure they have designed in a plastic fitting which holds the spinning blade. I will inspect the next juicer I buy to make sure it is made for more than 50 uses! |

| I've been buying on Amazon for years but never left a review before. I bought this about 2 weeks ago and have been consistently doing this almost-daily. In the short time I've been following the DVD, I have felt so refreshed and energized. I do the full DVD from start to finish with no problem. It's so easy to follow and it's the first workout of any kind that I can finish and can't wait to do again! I have a few other DVDs of Raviana's (old and new) and this is by far the best for overall well-being. If you're a beginner, you can do this DVD. You may need to stop early or take breaks on some poses but you will quickly be able to start holding poses longer if you keep doing it. It feels so good!!! Thank you for creating such a life-changing program; it has almost completely diminished my depression and has significantly decreased my anxiety issues. I can't wait to see what this does over the long-term. Sat Nam! |

| Compared with Norelco's, the Panasonic shaver was disappointing:1. The shaves are not as close on men with medium beards2. As a stiff foil shaver, it does not contour around bony areas, such as the chin, as well as the floating, rotating heads on the Norelco.3. The shaver leaves the stubbles of your beard in your sink, making for a messy daily clean-up.I had high expectations with Panasonic's claim of such high RPM's of blade movement. Unfortunately, the quality of the shave is limited by the foil design. Even higher RPM's would not fix its weaknesses. |

| An obscure historical incident provides the occasion for this insightful literary work. It does more than transport to another time and culture, or put you in proximity with strong personalities; it forces you to look at a philosophical or ethical issue straight in the face. The rudiments of this novel are flawless; more importantly it reaches for a thematic ambiguity that can just barely be articulated. Except in a literary work of this quality. |

| I VIEWED THIS DVD RECENTLY, AND WHILE THE SPECIAL EFFECTS ARE SPECTACULAR THIS JUST DOES NOT HAVE THE SAME APPEAL AS THE PREVIOUS STAR WARS MOVIES. I FOUND THAT I COULD NOT RELATE TO ANY OF THE CHARACTERS (PERHAPS BETTER CASTING COULD HAVE SOLVED THIS). THERE ARE (I'M QUITE SURE) CUTE CHILD ACTORS OUT THERE WHO CAN TRULY ACT. THE CHILD ACTOR IN THIS MOVIE DID NOT HAVE THAT KIND OF TALENT. MY FAMILY AND I FOUND THE ANIMATED CHARACTER JAR JAR BINKS SO ANOYING WE ALMOST STOPPED WATCHING HALF WAY THROUGH THE FILM. THIS CHARACTER WAS NOT CUTE OR FUNNY, HAD WAY TO MUCH SCREEN TIME, AND WE COULD NOT UNDERSTAND MOST OF HIS LINES. IF GEORGE LUCAS MAKES ANOTHER EPISODE WE WILL MAKE SURE NOT TO SEE IT. I GAVE IT ONE STAR DUE TO THE GREAT EFFECTS. I DO NOT RECOMMEND, UNLESS YOU'RE A DIE HARD STAR WARS JUNKIE. |

This album is good on it's own, if you're a fan of some unfiltered pop/punk. But for Less Than Jake, there is absolutely no energy in this album. I know Anthem departed heavily from the Less Than Jake sound we all grew up to... but it still had enough energy to blow up a small town.The fact that JR and Buddy barely have any horn lines is incredibly dissapointing.Vinnie, you used to write the theme songs to my childhood.Now you're just writing songs for the masses.I'm sure you'll gain more fans...but thanks for dissapointing that kids that have been there with you for years. |

| This is a wonderful book for triathletes of all levels. Gale is both a gifted athlete and a talented writer. She presents the facts without getting overly complicated or high tech. She acknowledges the need for super effective time management without "dumbing down". I have been a fan of Gale's for many years due to her column in Triathlon Life magazine. This book expands on some of the concepts in her column and spells out succinctly how you can make your own plans happen.She comes across as approachable without talking down. Yet Gale is one of the most accomplished coaches in the country, currently getting Team USA ready for Beijing. All that said, I do believe this book is best utilized by beginners....Still, it is a wonderful resource for the tri community - grab it and use it! And, enjoy. |

| The fact that people are saying that Robin Cook is a great writer is ridiculous! The plot for his book "Mutation" is the cheesiest, most far-fetched idea ever! It is very hard to take this book seriously when the plot and the characters are so horriblly drawn up. In the plot, the main character, who is an 11 year old boy, does things that are impossible to do even if he was 25 years old. The mother is also very cheesey, she is a child pyscologist who can't even figure out what is wrong with her own child.It is very hard to take this book seriously when the plot and characters are so horriblly drawn up. |

| I purchased two of these terrible items for my dogs. They are both large dogs, over 55 lbs., and love to ride in my Jeep Cherokee. First of all, the only thing you get is a wide black strap with a cheap metal clip on one end and a plastic thing on the other end. No instructions. When I clipped my precious dogs to the strap, all was fine, they were a bit uncomfortable which I thought would be normal. I went into a store for 5 minutes and came out to find them terribly upset. One of my dogs had removed herself completely from her harness, it was still attached to the stupid strap. The other dog was completely twisted up and sitting in the next seat over. Both were visibly shaken and scared. I am extremely unhappy and disgusted with this horrible product. Don't buy this junk. |

| I read this book and i loved it! The boy, Misha, gives the story a different point of view because he wants to be a Nazi but soon changes his mind.This is a story of a boy who lives in Warsaw, Poland. He doesn't know anything about himself. No name, no family, nothing except he has a yellow stone necklace. One day while steeling a loaf of bread he is caught by another theif. The theifs name is Uri. Uri takes the boy in, cleans him up, and finds him a bed. Uri also gives him a name and a life story. Soon the Nazis invade Poland and the jews are forced to move to the ghetto. Its really an amazing book that tells the trials the jews went through. The way Jerri Spinelli writes really brings you into the book and it feels as if you were there watching it take place. |

The cable tends to lose connection, so I have to disconnect and then reconnect the USB for my computer to receive input again. The problem is not the computer itself as I had tested the ports and the drive again and again. |

| Full of great Mango flavor, perfect for Mango Iced Tea. My local espresso shop uses Monin syrups and I purchased to make my own. |

| This slicer works GREAT! - Do yourself a favor & pony-up the extra $ for this model (or any higher # model) as its made in Germany whilst the cheaper models are made in China. I have used this to slice several roasts & some flank steak for jerkey & it works as advertised, you can slice as thick or thin as you like. I strongly suggest you pay attention to all warnings & watch what youre doing as the blade is SUPER sharp! Treat the machine with respect as one careless move & youll regret it Im sure. |

| The immense detail of Phanz is greatly refreshing. If anyone is interested in the detailed movements of each regiment, company, general, etc. of the second day of the battle of Gettysburg, then this is the book to get. This seems to be the best researched book that one could find on the subject. Also, Phanz does not "take sides." He is generally fair to both sides, not presenting either the North nor the South in unnecessarily bad light.This is the sort of book that we need more of. Phanz's immense scholarship and mastery of the battle enables one to be able to trust his judgement in interpretation and description. |

| This just plain bad. Boring..... I did not find this the least bit entertaining nor interesting. It was a waste of my time. |

| I bought this for my 10 year old son who saw the movie. He didn't like the book and said it was too slow starting for him. He also said the movie was better. |

| Love Baxter Black's humor and clear descriptions of modern ranching. I bought several of one of his earlier books for friends and our vet. When I ask him how he liked it he said he couldn't get it away from his wife and she kept giggling. I hope he did finally get to at least look at the drawings over her shoulder.LMW |

| I've checked several listings for piccolos for sale. No indication of the brand/make/manufacturer is provided. This isn't satisfactory for potential buyers! |

| Neither USB adapter has ever worked on this unit. My firewire adapter has worked fine, but unfortunately most of the connections I need the card for are USB. I would recommend going with a more reliable brand. Hope this helps! |

| You most certainly can make out bound calls using Skype even when they are not in your contact list!1. Press and hold "0" till a "+" shows up.2. Dial the number including country and area code.3. Hit the Skype button, not the green talk button.Skype then dials your number even if you do not have it in your contacts. This is a great phone! |

| Good stuff. I have many of these peices separately in other CDs of Bach's cantatas under the direction of Leonhardt and Harnoncourt. The boy sopranos in this cd are wonderful. Great balance between instrumentalists and vocalists is a hallmark of the Harnoncourt/Leonhardt style. I highly recommend this CD.I welcome feedback on this and all reviews at wstrnlibwarrior@yahoo.com |

| I love this series! Some discs are a little bit scratched up, but this proved to be only mildly bothersome while trying to watch. I'm very glad I purchased this set. |

| Unfortunately you won't allow zero stars, because that's exactly what this book deserves.Not only does the far-fetched ending ruin this book, but it cheapens Silence of the Lambs as well. Harris turned his back on his characters and his readers. |

| I thought this should have been 006 or some other agent. This was totally out of character he made a lot of noise wherever he was. The originally character played by Sean Connery had much more class, was a true secret agent with many creative hidden weapons and above all would never fall in love!! He as a confirmed bachelor and everyone knew that including the sexy women he met along the way! |

| "So Yesterday" has a good beat. It doesn't make you feel depressed, while also not the kind of song that makes you want to bounce off the walls and throw some wild party! Actually, I kind of like good dance songs...but anyway, back to my review. Like I said, "So Yesterday" is good, but not great. It's not as good as "Come Clean", and definately not as good as "Fly". The lyrics to "So Yesterday" make her sound like a bratty little kid. I haven't heard "Working It Out", but I don't exactly want to.Hilary Duff is a fake, and so is her sister. I mean, what kind of sister is constantly trying to get in on YOUR fame? Not that Hilary Duff is really "famous" in my opinion...well, maybe as the biggest Avril-Lavigne-copycat-sickeningly-fake-needs-to-focus-on-what-she's-actually-good-at poser in music history. |

| A great book that combines a future of replaceable bodies ("sleeves") and advanced biotech with a dark `30s style detective novel. The main character is of course a down and out loser with a shady past but superior survival skills. You root for this guy even thought he can't really seem to get it together to really care what happens to himself. The issue of creating tension in a world of personality backups and replaceable clone bodies is handled well. The secondary characters seem incomplete and shadowy but somehow this doesn't detract from the story maybe due to the laid back narrative. Other books by this author would definitely be worth checking out. |

| The blades are sharp and work well (one serrated and one smooth edge) and the handles are comfortable but these shears have a serious design flaw -- the locking mechanism (the little orange plastic rectangle in the picture) is supposed to slide down and grip the junction where the blades meet, thus locking them. Unfortunately, if you're pointing the shears downwards while cutting, it often slides down of it's own accord and locks the blades while you are trying to use them. You can remove the orange locking piece (it snaps on and off) but then you run the risk of losing it, forgetting where you put it, accidently stepping on it, etc. [...T]hese should have a more sophisticated and reliable locking device. |

| The humble W59 is compact, light as a feather, unobtrusive and ultra-comfortable, yet totally functional, good looking, and robust. Its design has endured unchanged for many years. The three-button ergonomics and simple, easy flow and control of functions has been long-perfected. The alarm is loud and the LED illumination works well. It is hard to think of how this watch could be improved. The W59 is quite similar to the world-famous, super basic F-91, but with a 50M water rating and (I think) a slightly more appealing aesthetic.I respect Casio for making these affordable watches so well - it demonstrates the organization's respect for its customers, regardless of how much they choose to pay for a watch. Anyone should be able to make a good watch if given several hundred dollars, right? But to sell something for under $20 bucks that is durable, attractive, accurate, tough, well made, and high quality? Excellent. |

| This book is terrible. The book repeatedly sets up grim and serious problems that are then glossed over or solved in unrealistically simple ways. Everyone older than 12 dies within a month, but nowhere is there a mention of dead bodies. Did billions of corpses just evaporate? 9- and 10-year-olds (and younger) figure out how to drive cars, pump gas, and are all big enough to reach the pedals and see out the windshield. If it was that easy, wouldn't the driving age be lower? A character gets shot by one of the marauding bullies and these kids can perform basic surgery to remove the bullet, and THEN the bullies who just SHOT SOMEONE are defeated by a simple scolding. Apparently, in this world Logic died too.Furthermore, the writing style is bland. Not bad, but bland. And apparently it was written in order to teach Ayn Rand's philosophy to little kids. Trust me, folks, there is much better post-apocalyptic YA fiction out there, including ones with female protagonists. |

| These pans are great in most ways- very heavy, well made, big. My only complaint is that there is a raised Calphalon brand stamped into the middle of each pan. If you put a cookie or something on that spot, you'd end up with "Calphalon" stamped into your cookie! |

| I think that this product would be great if it wasn't so poorly made. As soon as I took it out of the box it was broken. I should have returned it right away, however, instead we decided to try it just using the velcro and the thing just does NOT stay in place and even if it was not broken it still wouldn't have worked properly. Definitely over priced and a waste of money.It gets in the way of the infant car seat. |
