Action packed and spiritual

A fascinating action packed story that builds on the story of the first book. I love the way the spiritual elements are incorporated.

For the adrenaline junkie...even comes with a mount for a helmet or handlebars!

My husband and I are adrenaline junkies...we go rappelling, caving, ziplining and more...This allows us to share some extreme trips whenever we are in the mood to do it. This camera was at Cabella's as we picked up some extreme sport equipment and new caving boots. Upon holding it, we knew it was perfect for some adventures because it's so lightweight (only 4.8 oz!!) that strapping it to helmets or bike handlebars or even on the gator (not the animal kind) as we go into the woods just makes it easy without extra weight. IT EVEN COMES WITH A HELMET AND HANDLEBAR MOUNT! That said, caving can kill electronics from the get go with them hitting against all the sharp formations when we fall...which you do all the time trying to traverse shallow areas of water caves in murky water when you can't see the uneven flooring. I killed my husband's nice new camera on our first date in a cave. The fact that he was so calm about it was a good indication of him being a real catch...so I said yes when he proposed to me a month later. Now he has an adventure girl for a wife and we beat up cameras together. This one, however, just keeps on working. And we are really putting it to some tests. This is made to be a sports camera and it works like one. It's 1080p, it has an ultra wide angle lens, 16MP, it auto rotates which is important considering sometimes I"M rotating while filming and it has to keep going. it's waterPROOF (not just water resistant) to 30 feet SPECS FOR OPTICS: 1/2.5" 5MP CMOS image sensor F2.8 fixed focus ultra sharp glass lens light sensitivity greater than than 1.4 v/lux-sec dynamic range: greater than 65db white balance, ISO, scene, auto 170 degree ultra wide angle lens file format video H2.64 mpeg4, photo-jpeg VIDEO HD RESOLUTION 1080p photo mode microphone/audio storage recording time:32mb internal memory 2.5 hrs of battery time g sensor auto rotation anti-shake high impact and shock proof What you get: camera hdmi cable usb cable mount lock mount lock key secure string carrying pouch helmet mount handlebar mount quick start guide With minimal buttons, this is a snap to use and figure out. This is their extreme edition...we looked at several cameras, but this one is up to par with our big sports action. The clarity is excellent and the reduction in vibration imperative as we are ALWAYS moving.

In God we Still Trust by Diamond Rio

I recommend this CD for all christians. It is beautiful and really hits home about where our country is today. We need to put God back into our lives.

Great for dessert nights

I travel a lot and this travel humidifier works great. I would definitely recommend this for anyone that travels frequently.

Another fun, sad, surprising and fulfilling Fanny Flagg story from South Alabama.

As usual, a top-notch group of likable characters involved in stuff you and I have probably never considered before. Loved it.

But I love the design and fits perfectly in my purse

The material was a little different than what I expected. But I love the design and fits perfectly in my purse.

Great mat for someone who's serious about yoga practice

Great mat for someone who's serious about yoga practice. Great for hot yoga or anytime you struggle with slipping. This mat is good for that. It's a bit heavier than what I've been used to and harder to roll up compared to my Gaiam mats. It always rolls out every time I put it in my car after or before yoga practice so that's really the only annoying thing about it but I will be buying a yoga bag soon for that and all will be right in the world again. I'd definitely still recommend this yoga mat.

Poor FM Pickup Without an Antenna

Although I had been using this very same model for several years and was VERY pleased with it, I accidentally left the original in a foreign hotel room. I ordered a replacement when I got back, but found that the replacement seemed to have a FAR less powerful built in antenna and could not pick up FM stations that were quite easy to pick up before, unless I plugged in the antenna.

they seem a Lil hard like they may rub if u walk for long periods

True to size. I have thick legs, wide feet ugh, so difficult to find heels for plus sized. I order a 10. They hide my ankles which I don't favor too much, comfy, they seem a Lil hard like they may rub if u walk for long periods. But perhaps not. Overall good buy

Fast, fun read that sticks with you

Way of the Serpent manages to be at once a page-turner, with mystery, romance, and rebellion driving the plot forward--and a book that sticks with you after you read it. I found myself still pondering some of the passages and themes from this novel days after I'd finished it, which sets it apart from novels you'll scarf down in a few sittings and then forget completely once you've finished. I highly reccomend Donna Birdwell's novel to anyone looking for a fun beach read that also leaves you thinking about some of the serious issues of our timm.

Fine for display but not for real world use

As strictly a display piece this knife is OK. But I give it three (OK) stars because to me the best part of displaying a fine weapon/tool is the fact that one could actually use it for the purpose of what it was originally designed to do. If I put a gun on display part of the interest of viewing that gun is knowing you could actually pick up the gun and fire it without it eventually falling to pieces. In the case of a Bowie Knife one would want to use the knife as a weapon/tool for self defense or to possibly field dress an animal taken during a hunt. In either of these cases this knife misses that mark due to the lackluster construction of the hilt and handle. But if your simply looking for a cool display piece to view and lightly handle then this is what your looking for.

Very happy with this charger

Wish I had bought this sooner. Very happy with this charger. Was having trouble getting some of my 18650 batteries to fully charge with other charger.

my favorite breakfast tea

I am a confirmed tea drinker. Twinings is my favorite tea, in many flavors. Try this for breakfast. Not bitter, very smooth.

A good story but not spectacular

Lord of the Files, the story of a group of young boys, Ralph, Jack, Piggy, SamNEric Roger and others crash landed on an island with no adults. The book was good but even though it is a classic it was not great in my mind. One of the big things that I feel makes this book a classic is that the story is susposed have underlying meanings and what happens on the island is a reflection of human nature with philosophical implications etc. I honestly wouldn't have figured it all out if I hadn't read the notes at the end but after having read these it made since. It didn't take away from the story not having realized the underlying things. The Good: The characters were fairly well defined and even though there were quite a few on the island only the key figures were focused on. You forget how cruel kids can be and are reminded when you read this. Their ignorance is made clear (as is always the case when around kids) which made them real. I would actually find myself getting frustrated along with Ralph while he is trying to manage a group of kids who he cant get to listen. The Bad: Nothing really. At times the story seemed a little slow. It seem kind of hard to believe since it's only about 200 pages but it was. Overall not bad but not great either. I think to much credit is given to the intertwining of his underlying ideals. If a story is trying to prove a point that's fine but you cant take away from a story in order to wrap it around the ideal. I base my ratings on how enjoyable the book is to read instead of how much a literary gem it is considered to be. It is worth giving a read though.

I've never seen my son-in-law so happy!

I got this for my son-in-law's birthday and he said it's one of the best gifts he's ever received. Rather than having to buy an expensive, large piece of hardware, this little gem plugs in to his truck and works with his cell phone. He said it's one of the best diagnostic tools out there!

One of the better books in the Private series

Because it takes place in Germany, I have a difficult time keeping up with all the names, but the book itself is solid. I have read so many James Patterson books that I can still get a sense of his signature stamp, But an interesting book is an interesting book.

Can Cause Severe Inflammation of Lips

The new improved version caused serious swelling and burning of the lips. I also looked like a clown and had to get some steriod cream from the doctor to heal my lips.

It's all about trust...

There's a few hoky things in this book: I'm with some of the reviewers who saw more than a few resemblences to Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dark Hunters novels, and the "destined-to-be-lovers" plot is a bit overdone, but I love the writing on this. I love the contrast of Old World and New World in the hero and the heroine, and I loved the descriptions of Hollywood's shallow glitz and contrasting seedier sides, reflected in the hero and his demon prey whom he must defeat to protect his mate. I like how circumstance obliges the lovers to learn to trust in each other, because isn't that what love is about: trusting someone with your heart and letting yourself be vulnerable, even when it's easier and more comforting to guard your heart...?

Good Job & nice machine

Nice machine. Does a good job, but we shall see about the cost of replacement cartridge. Works better than ink jet printer.

Great for seeing the road better

I am upgrading to this light from a Metro 300 as I have started commuting back from work later in the evenings. I average between 13-14 mph during my 9 mile return commute in the dark and found the steady flash mode in the Metro insufficient for that. The Expilion is noticeably whiter/cooler in color and brighter than the Metro and I am also able to make out the road surface better. I have attached comparison photos taken with both the lights at the max boost setting and exposure lock. The light gets hot quickly at max boost and it is recommended not to keep it on when the bike is not moving for more than 10 minutes. Not sure if there is a thermal safety/cutoff built in. I plan to attach the Metro to my helmet using the mount included.

A great design perfectly executed

This is the third Tumbuk2 bag for my family and I am a totally happy repeat customer. The sewing is perfect, the zippers are solid, the cloth is heavy weight without being heavy and the clasp mechanism could not be better. The computer pocket holds a MacBook Pro with a 15 inch display snugly but it comes out easily. The rest of the bag has a lot of interior space and the compartments are well organized. The best thing about this bag is the shoulder strap. It is wide enough and well padded enough to allow you to carry a computer and many books. The pivoting hinges at the end of the strap means that it will never be twisted. Timbuk2 clearly sweated the details when they engineered this and it payed off.

Another Interesting Read From CE Wilson

I received an ARC copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. No *major* spoliers I am always interested in CE Wilson's books. The building of relationships is always great in her stories, and the big person/tiny person twist makes things more complicated (which I think makes it more interesting, also). Malcolm is left on an island alone (other than his only 'neighbor,' another convict who was rich enough to get sent there instead of prison) to atone for his crime, which we don't find out about until much later. However, a small "girl with wings" crashes onto his island and she has secrets of her own. The two bond over time. I was actually kind of annoyed with Malcolm (and Verity, on occasion) because it seemed that they argued a LOT over the same thing, which got a little tiring to read through. All of the characters, though, were interesting in their own ways. Incorrect gramma, punctuation, and typos were rare. The story itself was well written and intriguing, and I wish they were a bit longer. I look forward to more books from CE Wilson in the future, as I always find them fun and interesting!

Great program I use it and so does my granddaughter ...

Great program I use it and so does my granddaughter - works for every age group -very encouraging and a fun way to learn typing.

A fun well written story

A very fun book. It was a great action/adventure story with interesting characters. Unlike a lot of other adventure books this story is realistic.

What a great gift idea!

What a great experience! This was so much fun to do with the kids! A great learning experience as well!

Great for Dads familiar with Goodnight Moon!

My husband and I have read Goodnight Moon hundreds of times to our daughter, so I thought this would be a fun gift for him. Such a cute and tasteful parody. He loved it! Would definitely recommend to fathers young and old!

Samson Airline Micro Headset Wireless Microphone

After our old lapel microphone, replacing the wire and microphone several times, at the rate of $80.00 each time, along with the 9 volt batteries. we decided to give this new Samson Microphone a try. Our pastor likes it very much, but the real test came this last weekend when we Hosted our Lady's Refresh your Heart Seminar with Rose Anne Coleman. Speaking and Singing using the same Microphone for both. Never a glitch at all. She loved it as much as we did. and the battery pack is Blessing. No more replacement battery either. This will pay for itself in battery savings. I recommend this for any church.

Scathing indictment of French intelligensia, and the male ego.

Scathing indictment of French pretensions to enlighten'lment, etc, such as liberte, etc. Shows how easily, and cheaply 'best and brightest 'of academic world can be seduced into 'submitting' to ANY ideology that promises creature comforts of coddling in career, kitchen and bed

Just absolutely perfect for my kindle

Just excellent! The colors are just like the picture! I absolutely love it! It fits my kindle (5 way) perfectly!

Great Idea and concept.

Updating my review. I received the 2nd device from the company and it has been working great. When charging by the sun it charges fast. The first one must have been defective. Thank you for making it right Just what I wanted and expected. Good product for the $$$. Changing review due to company reaching out and sending another to make it right. I will try it to make sure it doesn't quit after a few month. I do have to give kudos to company and their customer service. Worked great the first couple of months. Now it won't charge anything. The little light fell into the box after the 1st week. Was a good idea but cheaply made.

This book was recommended by a friend

This book was recommended by a friend, and I am so happy to have found it The writing is excellent and the characters are rich and well developed. The main character is one of the most inspirational literary characters I have come across in a long time. I recommend this book not only because it is a wonderful story, written beautifully, but also because of the lesson it teaches us - no matter what problems you have, what horrors come into your life - hold on and have faith.

Very nice protectors!

Easy to apply screen protectors, perfectly cut to fit the screen as well. Each screen comes with a small cleaning cloth as well!

I love that Sony 4 GB Memory Stick ProDuo

My camera is not the newest, so I depend on the memory stick that goes with it. Luckily Amazon.com had the perfect memory stick and it was the Sony 4 GB Memory Stick ProDuo. It works great.

Color not as pictured

Was expecting the bright yellow color, but they are closer to tan than the bright yellow shown in the picture. Would have been 5 stars if the color was as shown.

Good read - easy to relax and enjoy the story

Great story line with a bit of history mixed. Characters where easy to understand and follow as the story flowed along. I have now purchased the second book in the series!

Like Walking on a Cloud!

I purchased these slippers for my son, who said they're the most comfortable slippers he ever owned. The sole is surprisingly sturdy and well made. And the material is PLUSH!

Great Iphone 6 Case (armor slim fit with kick stand)

Great book! Very fun filling out and lets you fill out things for a full 5 years! Lots to do in this book.

Good customer service!

works well! Seller replaced a semi faulty unit for free as well!

I would defiantly recommend this screen protector

This is the second one I have bought through them. The first one did its job, when I dropped it the screen protector cracked in the corners without cracking my phone. The common complaint with screen protectors in general is the fact they don't reach the edge of the phone due to the iPhone's curved edge of the screen. It has not been an issue for me specially if you have a case on it. The pro completely out way the cons. I would defiantly recommend this screen protector, great price too. I researched which would be best and for the price this one does the job!

Sausage Fest for the neighborhood!

This Grinder is exactly what I was hoping for and as described in most reviews. I have no negatives and I am the most happy customer. It is powerful and easy to clean. The feeding tube, plates and auger are all very thick metal. Since we got it, we've had sausage parties with the neighbors and I've been making chicken, pork, lamb burgers almost every night. It is so much better than the alternative of an attachment to my kitchenaid mixer because it frees up the mixes and it is a very stable base and powerful dedicated machine. Highly recommended.

A diiferent presentation of some very interesting facts !

If you are interested in classic rock and roll people, especially those who burned too bright, and burned out too young, this IS the book for you ! The last chapter of the book is a reprise of another very interesting book entitled The 27s, about many fine artists, including, recently, Amy Whinehouse, who only made it the age of 27, for various reasons of all kinds. This is quite an interesting, story, even if you have read that book, but esp. if you have not. Starting with the first chapter, about the legend surrounding the success, and early death, of 20s blues great Robert Johnson. This book goes straight on ahead with many, many other interesting, never before known facts surrounding the deaths, or at least personal duress of several different rock and roll stars or groups. For example, did you know that the Beatles named their band after what Buddy Holly first named, then changed the name, of his own band, and were some of his all time biggest fans ? From here it goes right on to other rock and roll tragedies, such as the Allman Bros. Band ( two different members crashed at exactly the same intersection in Savannah, Ga., almost exactly one year apart), Brian Jones, of the Rolling Stones, and the pact with the devil allegedly made by a member of Led Zeppelin. There are also some chapters on the changes gone through by The Eagles, after going through another simiiar series of incidents, plus something on the backward masking phenomena, but this is just a bare thumbnail sketch. Reading this book is a very enthralling journey of discovery that you will not regret making.

Great Dress !Great Service!

I Love This Dress!!! It fits &feels Great! It is long ,but I have high heels to fix that. I am very excited to wear this dress out. I feel like this was money well spent .When I first ordered the dress I made a mistake and ordered a large by accident, I contacted customer service and they fixed the order immediately before it shipped. Super fast shipping (3days) too. Stacy at customer service is excellent, she fix my order and shipped it fast. I will be doing a lot more of my Amazon shopping with Zoozie LA.

Broke on the first use

One of the clips broke the first time I tried using it. These don't hold clothing any thicker than a piece of paper. I would probably return but they aren't return eligible.

Secure about our security when away

The ring gives us a great sense of security when not home. A neighbor's ring led to the apprehension of someone stealing packages off of porches!

Don't let your spouse touch this mug!

Because, despite you having warned him three times, and despite him having answered you each time as though he was really listening, he will still put the goddamned mug into the dishwasher! I now am the owner of a once mood-changing mug that now merely remains at varying levels of bipolar confusion. Thanks Honey!

Great memories of a team long gone but not forgotten!!

I enjoyed every moment of the book. It brought back great memories for me. The Expos were a team that always was in the hunt and gave it their best shot despite many financial woes. This book is highly recommended for sports fans from the 70s, 80s and 90s.

Pretty good but did we forget something?

Let me start with the negative first - The cover says "Create Web Services" but I didn't see that material in the book when I looked at it in the book store. What happened guys - did the book get a little too thick? I think they must have decided to cut this material before the book got too heavy to carry around. Guys - you need to take that info off the front cover! Okay, with that said and done, the authors have stayed true to earlier editions. I'm glad to see they took out all of their old C code programs. The book is exclusively C++ except for a couple of chapters that introduce C# (we'll forgive them). For people just getting started with C++ like high school and college students - you couldn't buy a better book. The core material on C++ is top notch. When I say core material I'm talking about Chapters 1 to 19. Now if you are a little advanced and want to get into Windows programming, read on. Chapters 20 to 23 do a great jon of bringing the material from the beginning chapters into the Windows programs. The remainder of the books deals with topics that are beyond my interest. However, they are topics that many will find interesting. It just seems to me that if you want that kind of high powered high level information you should be buying a book devoted just to those high level topics. Anyway, I like the book and even though I already own the earlier version, I bought this version JUST for the chapters on the Standard Template Libraries (STL).

This book is a beautifully written, common sense

This book is a beautifully written, common sense, and easy to read one. It challenges us to do what we know we should do and as we want to be treated ourselves. Steven is the senior pastor at our church, First United Methodist in Corsicana, TX and I can attest to his sincerity and passion. A must read!

You need to learn it a bit

Very nice for my coin collection. You really cant use both eyes at the same time, but the magnification is great. You get used to the one eye thing and now I have learned to switch off. Especially like the ability to adjust the light position

It is sturdy. Nothing fancy

Wish it had more height options. It is sturdy. Nothing fancy. Don't expect much from it for its price.

A must have for boudoir photographers.

Jenn Rozenbaum is, undoubtedly, the leader in boudoir photography. This book is a very easy read and understand. None of that "I'm better than you" self worship that a lot of photography books have. Just love this!

Not as good as Never Kissed Goodnight

The Leigh Koslow series was one of my easy summer reading selections. They're pleasant reads while sitting in the shade under the trees, dogs snoozing in the grass next to me, frogs making a variety of sounds on the pond. Would be nice if Cara could develop a sense of humor. Leigh and Cara dialog could be very funny.

Product Review of Kraft Tool Glitter Gun

This is a great product and a must have for glittering ceilings!!! It will work well for both professionals and do-it-yourselfers like me and my husband. We were told by a local contractor it would cost approximately $500.00 to repaint and reglitter our bedroom ceiling. With the cost of this glitter gun, we spent approximately $120.00 on all materials needed for the job. And, it looks great!!! It took about 2 hours to complete a 12x14 ceiling. The size of the handles worked well for both me and my husband. There was no trouble there...

HolyAmazing fantastic, can't say enough about it book

Words fail me. Sleep didn't happen, bleary eyed and amazed, I finally finished this great and magnificent book. I loved it beyond measure. Sometimes I read a really good book and I think thAt nothing can equal it. After reading this book, which is head and shoulders above any book I have ever read (over 10000 +) I am in awe!!!!. The mind that created this story is equaled only by Tolkien. Peter, you are indescribable. Linda B.

New addition for bedtime reading.

I have heard some wonderful things about this book. I can't wait to share this delightful story with my daughter and make this book a part of our nightly reading ritual. Hopefully it will help grow her love of sea turtles and she can share in my passion of those amazing creatures.

The Most Inspiring Book I've Ever Read!

I have read several books through my time as a Christian, a graduate student at Liberty University majoring in bible and as a Pastor, this book is by far the most inspiring book about a person who really knows and lives to reach people to have a personal relationship with Jesus. After reading this book, I felt like I was one on one with Jim. Thank you Jim and I praise God for all He has done through you and your ministry.

Terrific read, I've read the entire series and enjoyed them all. Jesse leads a great life he sure never gets bored. I look forward to Mr. Stinnett's next effort be something that Jesse is doing or Wayne's other series about a lady named Charity who is shaping up to be as good as Jesse. Keep it up Wayne.

An honest balanced assessment of our military's actions in war

I am a US military officer, and I truly appreciated Mr. Frederick's book. I feel that he was honest and fair in his approach to the actions of the US Army and its leaders. While I know that many military leaders would frown on this book for revealing our dark side, I believe transparency in our military is vital to building and retaining the trust of the American public. Thank you.

Great for fans of Cards Against Humanity. I like the suggested house rules that are included, especially drawing 3 cards as the judge and choosing the one you like best, and turning guessing who voted for you into a drinking game.

An exploration of astronauts left behind

I remember exactly how I heard on February 1, 2003 that the Columbia space shuttle had exploded shortly after re-entry and only seconds before what should have been a routine safe landing. My clock radio snapped on with the CBC hourly news and the first words I heard that terrible morning were: "This just in: the space shuttle Columbia has been lost...all seven crew members are presumed dead." As further details and confirmation of the disaster filtered in over that day's airwaves and in every newspaper on the planet, it was all too apparent that this second major shuttle tragedy in less than two decades could well mean the end of NASA's manned orbital program and the International Space Station. As for future prospects of deeper space exploration, the possibilities had suddenly diminished to a faint dream. But I also admit that, like millions of others shocked and saddened at the Columbia's demise, I -- unlike TOO FAR FROM HOME author Chris Jones -- never gave a thought to the remainder of the ill-fated Expedition Six mission crew left aboard the orbiting Station. Little by little, a few snippets of information filtered into the media about the remarkable two Americans (Don Pettit and Ken Bowersox) and one Russian (Nikolai Budarin) who stuck it out, marooned in space for months until a deeply humbled America turned to its Russian arch-rival for rescue help. Jones, an award-winning Canadian journalist, took up this fascinating story of the crew left behind with a passion that brings every detail --- from the gross and mundane to the truly transcendent --- into vivid exposure. His agile, cheeky prose, along with often irreverent reportage and commentary, hit you like a high-octane action-adventure movie script. Yet he manages to maintain a precarious balance between the emotional extremes of an unprecedented human endeavour and the quiet moments of recollection and repose needed to reveal memorable real-life profiles of three very different astronauts and their interwoven ways of coping with trauma and challenge. Perhaps it's almost too clichd to suggest that Jones developed a fly-on-the-wall kind of perspective, but there's no denying he really does take the reader fully into the space station and descriptively lives every moment encountered by those humans privileged (and deserving) enough to have shared such an incomparable experience. Amid their moments of confusion, fear, deep grief, loneliness, inertia, claustrophobia, irritation and just plain fatigue, Bowersox, Pettit and Budarin repeatedly transcend their circumstances to experience personal fulfillment, scientific accomplishment and a shared wonder at the beauty of the cosmos unfolding around their fragile "tin can" home in space. When the three do come home again, it's not without genuine regret for the almost-ethereal existence of months spent in their artificial environment, as well as paralyzing fear (well founded, it turned out) at the prospect of a hard-earth landing aboard a cramped Soyuz capsule. Their survival --- a miracle as enormous as the Columbia's loss was tragic --- gives Jones's story the happy ending it deserves. But it is the journey itself --- a journey that often seemed to be going nowhere at breakneck speed while politicians and bureaucrats wrangled down below --- that TOO FAR FROM HOME recounts so well. I barely was able to put the book down. --- Reviewed by Pauline Finch

Very comfortable, but most importantly

Very comfortable, but most importantly, really great wrist support. Much better than expected. Buy these gloves. You won't be disappointed.

Antsy alluring and provocative story!!!!

Loved this book. At this point in the story it is not a HEA but I'm left antsy to see what's to come. We meet Adam and Mia. Two people that have gone through their own betrayal and are trying to piece their new lives back together. They both fight the magnetic pull they feel towards each other. Then we have the mystery of the factory explosion and what's going on in that background story. Very alluring story can't wait to read book 2 and continue their journey!!!!!

Replaced a cheap toggle switch with this one on the boat in a marine environment.

Pleased with this purchase. Well made and a far better than the plastic switch it replaced that broke. Would need to take a hammer to this toggle switch to break it.

Excellent duffle bag if you need o save weight on checked bags

I bought this bag because I needed to bring back lots of stuff from an overseas trip. I used it to pack all my clothes while a regular luggage protected my delicate items. Size was not an issue with Delta.

Great lights for the money.

Plan on using these lights on an outdoor tree this Chistmas holiday in Florida. Thanks

Not exactly solid green

A little disappointed to find out "Punked Speed Cruiser" is printed on one side of each wheel, when I expected to get SOLID Neon Green like it says. That bit of information definitely should have been included in the description.

Without a doubt the most information on this subject I've seen. At least half of the instruction deals with recognizing and avoiding situations where lethal force becomes necessary. Very impressed.

Declutter your life for life!

This book has literally changed my life! I have implemented a number of her methods and I am on the road to clutter recovery! The methods in this book are amazing and for me to be able to become as organized as I have is miraculous! Highly recommended!!

80s villians in the 21st century...

This is a generally entertaining novel, *definitely* in the fiction category. The puzzles aren't that central, and some are simply solved by a character suddenly realizing how it works. (We never do learn how two of the characters know to break into an old front room of an inn for two lost pieces) The most central character, sadly, dies in the opening chapters of the book, without divulging what he was working on. There are also lots and lots of serendipitous occurences. Lots of time gaps, which usually I don't mind, but with all the other gaps, became too many. My advance copy did not have drawings or diagrams, which made the puzzles even more distant. The villians, however, are just old, tired 80s retreads. There is another, very serious threat in the world today. It isn't Christianity, even the whack fundamentalist kind. Yeah, they'll talk to you about seeing things their way until they're blue in the face, but at least they aren't blowing you up, talking about blowing you up, or otherwise really making people miserable. What the villians here are believing just isn't going to happen. Period. So, light and entertaining, but the underlying message falls flat, for those of us actually threatened in a world gone truly insane, again. I do wish there had been more 16th century scenes, would have been a help with more background for the present-day action.

For the 600$ that I paid I would expect everything to be in good condition.

The camera itself is great(so far, haven't really had the chance to play with it since the battery charger is terrible). The accessories it came with are AWUL! The chord and the adapter are extremely cheap. For the 600$ that I paid I would expect everything to be in good condition.

Every time I read one of Stephen King's novels, I honestly am floored by the amount of imagination, creativity, and patience that he must have to create such a complex storyline with layers and layers of characters and plots. I don't know much about JFK and life in 1950's America, ybut after reading this I am very intrigued to learn more. And the ending is just right way to finish the story! This is one of those books that stays with you long after you finish reading.

It's okay. It does everything as decribed (sort of) but there isn't much power to it so it stops working while using it.

I bought it for reading at night, but the clip is a bit too heavy for that. I am sure it is a great music stand light!

Disappointing. Purchased 2 for use in our dark basement stairway. Motion sensor/time out would not turn off the lights, which drained the batteries in less than a week. Tried in other places with the same result.

Great Chapter Books for First, Second & Third Graders

This is the first series of chapter books my son actually wanted to read by himself. While many of the reviewers complain about grammatical errors, etc., I feel these can be overlooked as these delightful stories keep a child's interest from start to finish. Each chapter is fairly short and has frequent pictures (a must for beginning chapter readers). The main characters have all sorts of adventures and the reader actually learns some historical facts. While the books are probably too easy for advanced readers, they should appeal to most beginning chapter readers. I think it is very important that children think reading is fun and the books from The Magic Tree House Series provide a wonderful introduction to chapter book reading!

DESECRATION is NOT a strong enough word

As we continue in this exceptional series, the antichrist is even more abhorrent that usual, but the Lord protects His own in the most miraculous ways. Even though at times I was appalled at the actions of the antichrist, I was always rejuvenated by the grace and mercy of our truly risen Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

The Secret of the Labyrinth

Molly's Reviews The Secret of the Labyrinth is the initial work offered in the Forrest Tales series by talented writer Lewis. Featuring Edward Forrest, a young fellow who is abandoned by his family and must make it on his own, Lewis crafts a keenly focused tale presented as a middle grades/Young Adult fantasy. The first book deals with peer pressure, making both appropriate and inappropriate choices, and coming to realize that mistakes can be rectified and used as a learning experience. As with a labyrinth, Life is filled with dead-ends and open paths. The Secret of the Labyrinth helps the young reader appreciate their own mistakes as opportunities for growth. The easily read, fast paced tale is satisfactory, writing style is commendable and characterization is excellent. Writer Lewis paints an intense portrayal in the mind of the reader. The story is gripping as the characters find mystery and adventure while attending the Academy of the Oracle. Each book in this fantasy series has a value theme designed to help young people as they face struggles in a troubled world.

Beverly Jenkins' books are awesome. She always puts a lot of historical information into her romance novels with references. When you read her books it's like you're there also. I pre-order her books and when I receive one in the mail it's like Christmas!!

Cute, but I bought the lavender and it was bright purple, I was expecting something as seen in the picture.

A story worth reading.

A very enjoyable fast moving adventure. A trip through Europe, with exciting twists and turns. Every page is a new adventure.

... she loves the author She said it was a good book

Husband bought this for a coworker for the holidays because she loves the author She said it was a good book

Disappointing read that was difficult to slog through

Sorry, I just didn't care for it. The first half of the book could have been skipped. In fact, I got to the point where I skimmed pages just to move on, with the hope that the book would finally get to the purported topic and become interesting. I considered moving on to another book without finishing this one and I always finish books. When the author finally started writing about the actual topic of the book, it started out to be somewhat interesting, but the characters became unsympathetic and self-absorbed. Not my cup of tea.

Great life changing book

I enjoyed this book greatly and have started following the principles. It is a life challenging and changing book that is worth reading.

This toilet works fine but is pretty loud when flushing

This toilet works fine but is pretty loud when flushing. It flushes very quickly and then refills very quickly. The seat is very high off the floor which is very good for older people but it may be too high for some.

Love the quality but unfortunately the size of the frame ...

Love the quality but unfortunately the size of the frame is made for the American License Plates and the ones in BC Canada are much bigger. Please double check your plate size before you buy this unit. The Unit itself is Awesome and very good quality. I will have to do some cutting and modifications to use it. Thanks!
