| BEFORE THE SEASON ENDS | I'd like to highly recommend Linore Rose Burkhard's BEFORE THE SEASON ENDS, an inspirational Regency published by Harvest House.BEFORE THE SEASON ENDS features a young, innocent heroine, Ariana Forsythe, and a moody, irascible hero, Phillip Mornay. This book will appeal to all who loved Mr. Darcy's character in PRIDE AND PREJUDICE, yet it goes on beyond that classic in that the book contains a faith journey as well. There's the required ingredients that make a book a Regency--the clothing, the places--Carlton House, Vauxhall--Regency bucks and Prinny himself, but the ingredient of faith makes this book so much richer. Bravo, Linore!I am beyond ecstatic to learn that there will be a sequel--THE HOUSE IN GROSVENOR SQUARE in April of 2009!Laurie Kingerywww.lauriekingery.comHILL COUNTRY CHRISTMAS, Steeple Hill Love Inspired, Oct.'08 |

| Tragedy has never read so smoothly | Along with Arthur Miller, Bernard Malamaud helped to redefine the tragic hero for the 20th century. Gone are they days when the fall of kings were the only things that could move us, now we can see the tragedy in the death of salesman or the destruction of a baseball player. Kathleen Ochshorn's words paint an acurate portrait of Malamaud's works, a must have for any collection of criticism. |

| Witty & Hilarious | Well worth the money spent. I had a full hour of hearty chuckling from page to page. The authors are extremely observant, and it's always the little things that hit right home. Also, they gave some very practical tips, such as how to choose a good tie. Excellent choice for light-hearted reading! |

| A Revelation | I learned a lot from reading the book, however, I was unable to do the first exercise because one of my problems is in my shoulders. It will be necessary to record the instructions to do the exercises because of the number of steps. |

| Gripping and Entertaining | Dont Say A Word is a excellent movie. All the cast perform extremely well (especially Brittany Murphy and Michael Douglas) and the plot has enough twists and turns to keep you gripped through out (even though the basic plot isnt anything new). Any fan who enjoys thriller's should be more than happy with this superb movie. |

| Okay CD but not nice in person | This is just another poor example of how stupid people want to be famous. These guys are jerks in person and their cd is of pretty much poor quality. In my personal opinion it's a no good buy but the choice is yours. |

| A Simple Way To Be Safe | I bought these Locks for my Daughter's apartment. She told me mom, these are easy to use and it makes her apartment a little more safe and secure. Product was delivered in a timely manner, the price was right and easy usage.Thanks |

| Good story-poorly written | I thought this was an incredible story and I enjoyed it thoroughly. And it gives me one more reason to be thankful that I live in the United States. However, not being a critic for writing skills, I did think this book was poorly written. Sometimes I would read a sentence and think, "huh?" And it didn't necessarily flow all that well either. At one point she was talking about something that happened when she was 18 and then shortly thereafter, she was 16 years old. But again, it was an interesting story. |

| punk?! | I'm sorry but if one more person calls this band 'punk' I'm gonna rip out their friggen throat. It drives me nuts. Blink is not punk. They were like 5 years ago, but not anymore.NOTE TO 13 YEAR OLD GIRLS: Punk was not made for you. Punk is not about getting on MTV, making lots of money, and getting girls to love you. Wanna know what punk is? Watch MTV. That is what punk is not. (...)The guys wanted to move on. Thats fine. But it really pisses me off when people ask me what kind of music I listen to. I tell them punk...they assume I'm talking about Blink182, Sum41, New Found Glory, or Fenix TX. Don't insult me. They can play what they want and you can listen to it, I don't care...but don't call it punk. |

| You will want these two hours back... | EVEN if you are a big fan of the series.IF you take a flyer on it, as I did as a Vincent Spano and Traci Lords fan, this will be one of your regrets as you take your last breath.Still, if you like Spano or Traci Lords, it is interesting to see them. Spano spends most of the movie in a full length brown leather coat that had more of a pimp dressing gown look than anything approaching Keanu Reeve's. Traci Lords WAS scary but then I think we always knew that. Jeny Lano was at least eye candy in a yoga tube halter, but that was all the skin you ever imagined in this could-have-been.Best to wait for a solid REDO. Rated ONE so YOU don't waste your $1 plus shipping. |

| Don't Waste Your Money | I returned this book within two days of its purchase. A large portion of this book deals with the author's discussion of success stories. It is then followed by a substantive discussion and then a chapter on exercises. The exercises are impossible to understand as the author has employed the use of a wooden art class figurine to illustrate poses. The photographs of this wooden model do not have enough contrast to serve as illustrations and are thus totally useless. Buy Yoga, Mind Body Sprit by Donna Fahri for a much better explanation of body mehanics and with higher production values. |

| perfect for workout | This is the best product for workout. I was still using my old version of Ipod but finally its life ended then I got Iphone which also has Ipod. But it is not convenient to use Iphone when you work out, especially when you are hiking or running..And I really do not like to carry my phone with me while I am working out.Then here comes ipod shuffle.It is the tiniest and lightest music player ever with a clip which enables you to attach it anywhere. You do not feel it at all when you run. Shuffle is very convenient, I created shuffle playlist in Itunes and added workout songs that I want to listen.. |

| Sharp. Did I say sharp? Really sharp. | This knife has an edge that's truly amazing. Only had it a month or so, so I can't say how long it will hold up, but I'm impressed so far.I'm a sharpness fanatic, with every variation on sharpening technology that I can get my hands on. This knife is as good as the very best edge I can ever get on my best carbon steel knives. This has become the go-to blade for cutting wafer-thin tomato slices and such.Only down side - despite pretty careful handling, it got a tiny chip on the cutting edge. I have to assume that it's fragile. Haven't tried sharpening it yet. Hoping a fine diamond hone is the right tool.Update (2012): Haven't figured out how to resharpen this. Diamond stone doesn't seem to do the job. Sending it back seems too much of a pain. |

| Blink is pretty awsome | I think this is one of their best cds except for their new one i will be pickin that one up soon but ne ways take off your pants and jacket is a good cd. first song i heard was first date which is one of my favs. i also like anthem part 2 alot. blink 182 put up another great album and go buy it just before their new cd! |
1positive
| "WOW!" | if u find a bad song on this album then u obviously didnt listen to it closely. the cd contains 14 fast and catchy punk rock songs that mix with the old days of chesire cat and the catchy riffs of enema and dude ranch. blink is a humorous band but writes about serious life situations. blink has changed music today because of their never ending fast beating energy and i respect them for that. BLINK 182 RULES!!! |

| Very valuable but somewhat misleading | This book is an extremely useful work for historical reference, perhaps the only one in its category extant. It can be called a magnum opus. The narrative of its writer is, of course, tinted heavily with his own emotion--and he has pointed this out to the reader himself when describing the nature of his book--therefore this aspect of the book may also be taken as a "historical reference", to its VIP author's attitudes, but otherwise has no value and is sincere, but very harmfully misleading to the unacquainted reader, about the true nature of the evil Pathan society and its ways, in the present time especially. The Pathans/Pakhtuns/Afghans were always a backward, turbulent society with a criminal culture, but they have changed drastically for the worse in the 44 years since this book was first written, mostly in the last 20 years or so. |

| Horrible quality | The first one I bought I loved. It lasted about 1 year and then suddenly started to die as it wouldn't turn off. So I figured I'd buy another one. 3 months later it did the same thing. Sorry, I'm not getting fooled into buying another one. I'll take my chances on something else that doesn't cost nearly as much. |

| Great idea, needs work. | When I first put this on my cupboard door, I was so impressed, I told everyone I knew about it. However, within maybe two weeks, the adhesive wore down I suppose and the spices would fall every time I opened the door. I can't get them to stick back on, I even tried more glue. Now I am left with sticky tape marks on the cupboard door and still a mess for my spices. It's a great idea, though.... if it worked. |

| tips and tricks | The instruction manual says to set the filter in a glass of water and let it soak, to rinse well by hand, and to run 2 pitchers of water through it before use. I'd add this: run 2 pitchers of water through it... and let it sit in that second pitcher (submerged) at least for a few hours.And realize that you're only using half of the pitcher -- the filtration basket takes up the other half, and you don't want to have water in there when you're pouring (the carbon particles float around up there constantly). I'm basically using this to fill another pitcher; it's just a bonus that the filter almost works fast enough to use in real time, so even worst-case I'm never more than a minute away from a glass of water. |

| Breath of Fresh Air | This is the first book written by Max Lucado that I've read. It's one of his earlier works. His writing style is a little different than those of most other authors whose books I've read, but it's a good kind of different. The book is written in a more conversational tone. It's kind of refreshing after reading so many books written in a formal, ridged style.This book discusses how to listen and hear when God whisper's your name. The book is basically a compilation of several short stories that all lead to a centralized theme. The author tells a story and then explains how it applies to life. This style results in a great book that aides in your walk with Christ.When God Whispers Your Name has a powerful message. This book is a breath of fresh air in a world filled with smog. It's definitely worth reading. |

| Nice British art film | Pauline Kael absolutely loved this slice-of-life, almost-coming-of-age tale, set in wartime Liverpool, as a mousy local girl falls for a callow young American GI. I liked the first half of the film, which was rich in character-study-o-rama but then it became pretty predictable and a bit slow. What's most remarkable is the concentration of heavyweight British acting talent, including Pete Posthlewaite, Joan Ploughwright and Jane Horrocks as the young girl. |

| One of the BEST inspirational book of its time... | This has got to be one of the best inspriational books of its time. This book is packed cover to cover with sayings and quotes from every type of person. The artwork is simply magnificent and adds to the book just as much or more than the actual words do. The arrangement of categorys, subcategorys, etc., could not be done any better. This book is simply amazing, and every pastor as well as congregation member should have their hands on one |

| Is there a point to this movie? | Every store should have a DVD shredder for movies that suck. Rental stores should offer refund upon return of this movie and immediately throw it away. Adding Darryl Hannah and Denise Richards to an already horrible story line just to sell DVDs is a disgrace. Trying to do 80's style cinematography to add artistry and color just made this movie suck more. Maybe the book version tells a different story if there is one. Save your time, money and eyesight by avoiding this storyless video. |

| Do not buy..... | This product is WAY overpriced, please do not order from here because you will be getting ripped off by far, this product sells at Nordstrom or [...] for only $36.00!!!Ya thats it! It is an excellent product and I use it as a moisturizer for my face and it smells really good, kind of like cucumber/melon. The product gets 5 stars, the price? Well they dont allow you to give zero stars but that would be my 1st choice |

| Memorable | A very touching and human account that stays with you long after you've read the book. Comparing it to previous books by Nicholas Gage it's clear that he put everything he had into this. The description of the gripping events that occur throughout the story somehow moves the reader to evaluate his own feelings and motives. |

| Problematic. | Hooked it up. No power to accessory wire.Disconnected, reconnected all wiring, verified, soldered in connections.Still no acc power.ended up wiring into the fusebox. Sad to see such an expensive product have that kind of issue.Also disables your alarm, There was no indication that this product would do that. The auto locks and delayed locks still work. But the "security" light on the dash never comes on now, and if you pop the door open, the alarm no longer goes off.3 months into having the product, The car no longer has a "dinger" |

| Lifehouse's "No Name Face" stands out | Lifehouse's debut album "No Name Face" is a promising emergence of a group that surely will have a lasting musical career. Released by DreamWorks October 31, 2000, "No Name Face" soars above all with its undiluted, honest lyrics, wistful melodies of the guitar, and singer/songwriter Jason Wade's soothing voice. Wade delivers lyrics with conviction on songs such as the title track, "Hanging by a Moment," and other outstanding songs, "Simon," and "Quasimodo." This debut album begins and ends with songs brimming with such raw emotion that it leaves the listener begging for more. Lifehouse's "No Name Face", with its truthful lyrics, ranging from painful to uplifting, and melodic tunes, is a first album that marks the start of Lifehouse, a group that, as evident from this debut album, will be hanging in there for a long time. |

| This is the way you go out! | Code Red is by far the best JJFP album; the duo truly went out with a bang. Every track has a great summertime feel to it and is great to blast when you are going down the street in either a car or with a boom box. You can easily listen to all the tracks and press play again to hear the tracks all over again.This is their best album!! |

| Posing... | This band is one of those bands that are scared to sing about something sensible about. They got bad stuff in their lyrics, and that's their way of trying to be tough. Mature, talented bands like Norma Jean, Demis of Eros, are tougher bands becaue they aren't afraid to sing what is logical and makes sense. Bands like the last stated are strong and fearless like who they worship: God. Other bands like Slayer try to gain a "tough" reputation by trying to be a rebel. I would stick to bands that aren't scared. |

| No Appetite to Read More | This review is for the audio version. This is the first book I have read of this series. However, this book is the fifth in a series and the main character went on and on about her ex husband. This is after she has already remarried so I can only imagine how the first four books must have dwelled on it. I thought the premise of this book was interesting: catering a low fat luncheon for a cosmetic company. However, the book was downbeat mixed with corny and I didn't care about any of the characters. I also didn't like that the author would negatively stereotype people if they were physically unattractive. The lead had a harsh personality and I would not want her to cater any event for me. |

| charger now an accessory | sold w/out any way to charge or load music. apparently that is now considered an accessory. recently found a charger for a whopping $1.19. would have been happy to pay that or even a little more to have something that was usable upon delivery. |

| One good actress, one boring film. | This movie fails all parameters but for Denise Richards' acting; here she displays a dramatic range not apparent before, for which the movie deserves a star. The movie would have been a hit about 1972, but modern audiences see cinematic sex as patronizing. This film at once attempts to titillate us sexually and educate us about the evils of prostition, but fails as both eroticism and intellectual stimulation. |

| difficult loading, using and restoring | After loading some songs for my granddaughter, her mother couldn't add or delete using her computer. I tried to find out what the problem could be, but the Itune software was corrupted and after reloading (which a lenghty process) I still had problems with the ipod. So I didn't loose any of her songs I tried to backup to disc ((dvd), all I got was a ruined disc which could be read. I spent too much time now on this, I probably have to call the 800 number and talk to some guy in Singapur. The online help pages are useless, very unorganized....their main interest is to sell you some I-Tunes. |

| Just tell a story (c) S.Maugham | And the story is perfect.Although more than half century passed since the cast, the old style of the movie is even helpful. Black and white screen make us beleive in epizodes too directly done for the modern times.The most tragic character is definitely von Rauffenstein. The broken old knight (even his orthopedic corset looks like an armor) not even achieve the last victory of de Boieldieu. He remains desperately alone and his last act of cutting the geranium (obviously for de Boieldieu burial) is one of the best in the movie.In a nutshell the DVD is definitely a must-to-buy. May be you will not watch it many times, but even having it on the shelf make life a little warmer(-; |

| Well-written, romantic and inspiring! | Before the Season Ends is all a Regency romance should be. I picked it up simply to peruse the book and could not put it down. I found the storyline fresh and smart. Burkard crafts her characters masterfully. Even those peripheral to the story seem to come to life and step off the page. She immerses us so convincingly into the era that Regency becomes reality upon opening the book. The language is fantastic. Burkard effectively places the reader right in the center of the excitement and intrigue of a season in London. Finding a book of this quality with a Christian theme woven throughout the story is refreshing and inspiring. I highly recommend the book and am watching for more from this author. I hope I don't have to wait long! |

| A warm blooded crossroad... | A lot of bands does this kind of album, ten years on, the momentum build up and a solid fan base a lot of bands change direction in their music, 9/10 fail to keep their fan base and even more fail to keep their musical integrity. However this is most definently not the case with this album, this album got soul! (Not that their others lack of it but...) I've been to a lot of conserts but i have never seen a song that really hypnotized me as much as "i feel you" does, i'm not saying that it's the greatest song on earth but on of them. Comdemnation is the song however that really captures the soul of the band, and the best vocals ever layed down by gahan, it's ridicuelesly good! And the adrenalin of "rush", the dramatic "one caress", In your room and so on... This album is one of the few that i really would recommed everyone to feel, because this is a album with soul that you dont just hear, you feel it deep down. |

| Blink's best showing to date | Take off your pants and jacket? Catchy title, eh? The album itself is just as catchy.Blink 182's new album comes off as a much faster and aggressive punk rock record. The two best songs off of this CD, in my opinion, are The Rock Show and First Date.Rock Show is a very edgy hard all-out rock track. Where First date comes across with a more punk-like feeling that we normally associate with previous Blink albums.Stay together for the Kids is the only real ballad on the album. It isn't as good as most of the rest of the albums, but the message is 10 times stronger than that of any other song on Take off you Pants and Jacket.A must buy for all fans of music! |

| JP | I purchased 2 of these within a month. The first one that I purchased, the lid did not fit properly. It would leak water when pouring. I returned it for another one, only to find that it was made the same way. I promptly sent Brita an email questioning this DEFECT. They basically told me to STUFF IT. That they were all made that way. It's funny, the Brita pitcher that I replaced, was made much better than the new ones. I do not recommend this item, it is of very POOR quality, and you will not be happy with it. |

| Definately, NOT Blink's best, but it's worst | The CD is barely ok, it strides away from the true roots of Blink-182, there are some pretty cool songs like Online Songs and Reckless Abandon but after that all the tracks are listenable. If you want to hear some good'ol Blink-182 MUSIC, get Cheshire Cat or Dude Ranch, then you'll really see how bad this CD really is when compared to Blink's other CDs. |

| complete album of music | I first heard the song "new slang" on a surfing flick and checked the ending credits to see who it was. I bought this CD for one song and it has turned out to be one of the CD's that I listen to the most. Chutes Too Narrow is excellent too but more polished. I like the less than perfect sound quality of this one. Raw yet complete. You can hear alot of influences in their material but the lyrical quality is very original. If you like the Kinks or Jane's Addiction or even the Flying Burritto Brothers, check these guys out. |

| Not worth the 86 minutes. | This was probably the worst movie I have ever seen. I could not even watch the whole thing. the plot line, if you can call it that, was so vague it could not be followed. It was more a bad documentary of prostitution than a movie. To top it off, it wasn't even the movie I was looking for. There is a Canadian film by the same name starring Katharine Isabelle that I was looking for and got this piece of trash instead.Don't waste your time and money on this. Darryl Hannah and Dinese Richards should be ashamed of making such a film. They are both quality actors and this was so beneath them. |

| Had to rate as 1 star to offset all the stupid 5 stars | Compared to their latest album, this album is terrible. This album really only has 3 good songs, the rest are sung horribly, with a musical background that is pretty much not cohesive, and incapable of flowing correctly. It's like someone took a chainsaw to the rest of their songs.This is seriously crap compared to their latest album. |

| Product has left me with scarring. | I was very excited about trying this product (I'm in my mid twenties and am starting to notice early signs of aging skin, despite taking good care of my face and staying out of the sun). Unfortunately, after using the product a second time, I developed red, bumpy skin around my chin that still has not gone away (it's been seven weeks as of today, Nov 30).UPDATE Feb 5th 2013: It's now been several months since I used this product, and the scarring has not faded. Please see my customer photos for reference. |

| This pitcher is driving me to drink (not water) | I don't think I have ever commented on a product before but feel compelled in this case because it is so over the top. The handle on this Brita filter will NOT stay on. Every time I touch it, not exaggerating here, the plastic handle falls to the floor. When I fill it, it falls off in the sink. When I open the refrigerator, it clatters to the floor. If I look at is funny, bingo. Get the picture? This pitcher is very poorly constructed and I would not recommend it to anyone. Unless, of course, you really enjoy picking things up off the floor over and over again. Buy something else. Seriously. Don't do it. |

| Does NOT Work!!!!! | I usually have great things to say about items I purchase from Amazon.com and 3rd parties. Unfortunately, the iPod shuffel I bought as a gift does NOT work. It will NOT sync with iTunes and is not recognized by the computer. It was not opened until 2 days ago and I'm very dissappointed. I'm ALWAYS purchasing from and through Amazon.com and now I'll be a little more hesitant before buying form a 3rd party again.Now, I haven't yet attempted to return the iPod, so I don't have a reveiw regarding the ease or difficutly of returning the iPod. |

| Good reference and guide | Game Programming Gems 2 is a collection of short articles detailing various aspects of computer game design. Personally, I found the first half of the book to be very helpful while the second half, on rendering and audio techniques, was too brief and lacked the depth to be of much use. However, the first half, covering general game programming technique and mathematics has proved very useful to me in my amateur game programming endavours.Pick up this book if you are looking to add to your reference collection however, due to the nature of the articles and due to the price, you might find yourself heading to the library to pick up this book. In the end, a solid addition to a programming library.Note:I am an amateur game programmer, not a professionalIn addition, many of the articles are not relevant only to games. |

| great disc | I own all of blink182's albums, i know their music well, and i have to say, this is definitely their best yet. the first time i listened to this, they sounded all the same. after many, many listens, this is my favorite cd. every song is amazing, and every song is my favorite, although the best is probably anthem part two-that catchy guitar hook makes the song great- and the worst is roller coaster-just not a great song- even though it's still pretty good. overall, i give this disc 6 stars out of 5. |

| weak cd from a weak band | I heard rumors that this album would be like Blink's older recordings, like before they sold out. Unfortunately those rumors are false. The songs on TOYPAJ carry the same pop melodies as their last cd and are a huge disappointment. TRL fans will go ahead and buy this cd, punk fans however, should not waste their time. |

| Unbearably biased account with little scientific merit | I can understand how difficult it must be to construct an accurate, well-balanced biography of someone shrouded in as much secrecy as Tesla. However, the Margaret Cheney work was a big disappointment to me nevertheless.Tesla's accomplishments are justifiably lauded throughout. However, it seems that each and every one of the inventor's wild, unfounded, publicity-seeking boasts is praised with the same unquestioning pen. By the mid-point of the book, I found it hard to put any credence in what was being written.I'm interested in finding a better-balanced treatment that looks more deeply into the meat of Tesla's revolutionary early work and glosses over the just-over-the-horizon meanderings of the last 40 years of his life. |

| The characters were dead before the movie started | This movie is about a group of girls with low self-esteem, the guys witn no self-esteem they settle for and their road trip to a lake where they're not killed off fast enough. Don't let Freddie hear you call this a "horror movie". He would be insulted. |

| A New Change | To put it as blunt and simple as possible, this is original blink all watered down and made studio friendly. They are still the foul mouths we fell in love with, but with a quite more...fluffy sound. They have crossed the pop genre line, honey. They are now the boy bands of punk. Regardless, I love the album. It isn't the same blink we remember from Dude Ranch, but music is metamorphosis, right? Exactly. So give it a spin and see what you think. Everyone has an opinion. I gave it four stars simply because they still know how to rock...no matter how much their definition of the word "punk" has...well, melted. If you like this, you'd kill for Sum 41. |

| Very bad design | Months ago I bought a similar pitcher at Costco (called Vintage model.Today I opened the box and washed the pitcher with soap. Here are the 2 major flaws:-> An opening at the top of the handle allows water to go inside the handle-> The water inside the handle seeps from the bottom of the handle to the outside of the pitcher.We have another pitcher bought years ago. The design is not as flawed as this one but it is still hard to clean properly because of too many ledges, nooks and crannies where water stagnates and allows bacteria to grow (check for slightly pinkish color). I am also unhappy with the large amount of black deposit in the filter holder and in the bottom of the pitcher.I still have plenty of filters to use - thanks to costco:( but when I am finished with this supply I will look for another brand. |

| Grow up please | Blink 182 could've done so much with this album they could've tried a little harder to actually care about their music but instead they sold out even more and put out this album which is just an "Enema of the state part 2". They have their formulaic pop-punk down to a tee. The fact is most of the songs just sound very childish from guys who are in their late 20's. They are no longer writing good music because they don't have to anymore. They are appealing to 10 year old girls and thats what makes this album suck. They have a few good songs but there are too many duds. The few good songs include "Story of a lonely guy", "Rock show", "online songs". Even on these semi-good songs they sound like their 13 years old. I wish they would take a nod from Green Day and try to pretend they are over 18 at least. |

| Personal Expressions Spa Pillow | This is a great bath pillow. Holds well when affixed-Easily moved to corner if you like to sit at an angle.Cleans up easily with a soapy cloth. Well designed and looks inviting left in the tub when not in use. If you have long hair tie your ponytail high to get more comfort. I would have given this 5 stars if it was designed with a gel construction because it would lend more to comfort but I believe this will become more pliable with frequent use. |

| Beautiful illustrations but too politically correct | The illustrations in the book are gorgeous. However, they are possibly too complex for young readers. Still, the illustrations are beautiful. I really object to the descriptions of the three bears. Papa bear has become a "great, huge bear" and mama bear the "middle-sized bear" while baby bear is now a "little, small, wee bear". Ridiculous! The story has gone from a family of bears, whose home is invaded by a (beautifully drawn) little girl, to an unrelated collection of bears of varying sizes that make the story clunky to read, for no obvious benefit to the story or anything else besides some distorted sense of political correctness. I've returned the book, and suggest that you look elsewhere for the classic story. |

| Charming, semi-allegorical story about innocence/sin/guilt. | The story of a young girl and other members of her small English village community, who wander into a mysterious wood, discovering beautiful secrets about themselves and their relationships with God and each other. Lyrical, intense, magical and childlike in the tradition of George MacDonald's "Curdie" books or C.S. Lewis, but a little more subtle and complex -- a great book for shy 13-year-olds or thoughtful adults. |

| The Ultimate Billy Ray Album | Now this is what i call a greatest hits. 21 songs, you cant beat that.It blows the Cover To Cover hits package away.Except for the loss of "One Last Thrill" it covers all his main hits.Its a shame Billy Ray gets a bad rap all these years about his early years.I think he has blossomed into a better artist.Shame on you people who trash Billy,because back then you was singing in the car and line dancing to "Achy Breaky Heart".You all know who you are.So enjoy his music now and forever. |

| the greatest hiphop album ever | Classic doesn't do this justice, this album is so beyond that. Never will you hear an album of this quality again, everything is perfect.When I first heard this album I was captivated by the jazziness and the slick wordplay.Every song is beautifully constructed with nothing to skip forward ,how many albums can lay claim to that,very few.Electric Relaxtion is my favorite musical composition ever, thats rap,r&b,whatever.It's so damn good words really can't describe the vibe on this track,this has to be the greatest hiphop song ever.Lyrics To Go is another favorite of mine.Tribe set the standard and ultimately raised the bar to heights unreachable.This is timeless work,I've listened to this album at least 20,000 times.Thank you Tribe for blessing us with perfection. |

| Well, not for me... | I put a lot of hope in this product. I didn't expect it to magically eliminate all of the spots that the acnes have left on my face, but I expect a gradual change. In the first month, I did not see clear changes. One disappeared but the other came up. Having read other reviews, I assume it would happen. After 1-2 months, I stopped and started using Origins (serum + moisturizer) and my skin was making much better progress.Last week, I try to combine the together. I used the peel and then put on the correction serum, then moisturizer. Now I have 3 visits from spots, all of them dark and kinda hurt. Assuming Origins was really effective, I have nothing to blame but the peel. I'm not sure if I should continue it or the spots will get worse...Demographics: I'm Asian. A year ago my skin was PERFECT, unblemished and smooth. |

| it's over for me | As a fan of the earlier Mitford books I thoroughly expected to enjoy In This Mountain. Sadly, this is not the case. I believe that the author is writing for those readers who are soooo glad to have a good old small town story with the right values, that she neglects character development and plotting. Even the dialogue, origanally charming, is of a sameness. I will not be finishing this book and that is very unusual for me. |

| Much Needed Resource for Low Cost/Free Medicine | The best reference for lost cost/free medications I've ever seen. As a nurse I see patients on a daily basis who are unable to afford their medications. This is a much needed resource for anyone who is concerned about the cost of medications today. The information is well organized, very comprehensive and easy to understand. |

| Our book has been misprinted | When God Whispers Your Name is fine until it reaches page 119 which is now page 183. It continues to page 214 with the next page being numbered 151. It is offensive and apparent that a portion of another book has been included with this printing. This is a disgrace to Max Lucado's reputation. There are thousands of books that have been sold and we wonder how many have this misprint. This is a terrible situation. We are very concerned about the effects this may have upon the public. We feel Max Lucado should be made aware of this grave error. |

| A bland read but a nice cover pic. | The Stefano story is sad but fascinating one. The problem here is bland writing, an obsessive dwelling on the boring "tragically doomed" aspect of porno, and completely unsubstantiated research. |

| Is Britney dressed to meet Rock Space Aliens? | The cover says it all. She'd better retire now that she has only her laurels (and a G-string) to sit on. |

| Poor Design! | This is a very poor design by Brita. If i could give the pitcher a zero star rating, I would. If there is any water at all in the top when you go to pour, the lid falls off and dumps water everywhere. I've tried every trick I can think of, including holding the lid down while pouring. It still falls off. I'm tired of flooding my kitchen so I'll be dumping this pitcher off at the nearest thrift shop and looking for something else. |

| LET DOWN | The story ran smoothly, but the ending was not exciting...it just ended. Definitely not up to Clancy standards. One good thing: The chapters were short --- just right for bedtime reading. |

| The New Jewelry for the New Century | Like a brooch of another century, my Apple shuffles decorate my lapels, collars, and necks of tees most everywhere I go. The jewel colors of the newer ones are attractive and cheerful on any outfit. With the sturdy clip feature, the Apple shuffle can even hide beneath my clothing when wearing it on the outside is inappropriate. I like Apple shuffles because they hold just the right amount for a long walk, interminable times in a waiting room or a quick research visit to the library. Whenever I get a song stuck in my head, the Apple shuffle loads it easily and plays it in my ears until I have become satiated with the annoyance and it disappears. I keep one Apple shuffle loaded with songs that cheer me up and motivate me for doing chores around the house. Versatile and handy, the Apple shuffle is my pick of the iPod line up. |

| GREAT PRODUCT | This works really well!! Holds the bottles nicely and frees up space in my cabinet. My spices don't fall on my now when I open the door. The double sided tape sticks well. So far so good. |

| Great! | It is fortunate that some of the best sounding music of all time is still available to us via recordings.Current production may have oodles of scientific technology available to produce high quality sound- but the material lacks quality.It is rare indeed when the words of a vocal are easy to understand. Artists used to enunciate and not scream or otherwise nullify the message that used to be written into song material.Remember: we used to have melody! Pleasant sounding melody with words that could help to provide an in depth experience.o what the words were that she was singing. Her voice did an excellent job of providing some extremely easy listening.This is a great collection of her singing! |

| Disappointing | Once the reader gets past the initial shock value BEHIND the story, the novel is predictable and drags... if you cast Cheng and Eng, JoJo the Dog-Faced Boy, and "The Enigma" in a VC Andrews novel, you'd end up with this drivel. |

| Sending this one back... | After ordering the CD (but before receiving it) I have found out that this is one of those carrying CSD (Copy protection). I haven't even gotten this yet but the minute I do, I will probably just send it back unopened for a refund. I am not a supporter of copy protection and have also had problems with other protected discs in numerous equipment. In fact owning and iPod and always on the go, everything I buy gets loaded into my iBook or iMac and sync'd to my iPod.I guess my biggest gripe is that the recording industry assumes that anyone trying to import a CD into MP3 format is out to break the 'law' by music sharing... I wonder if sharing my music by letting my friends listen to my iPod and showing them where they can buy a CD for their own is also illeagal.... |

| Is this really what I waited for | After getting Buck's album I have to say that I am not impressed with the lyrics.. The beats are nice, but they should be with Dre in your corner. Throughout the whole album Buck rarely changes his delivery or rap pattern. Has he not learned anything from Lloyd Banks second album. This album is OK but simply does not have the energy of his project. I respect Prodigy and Lil Flip more than buck because it seems like he cannot do an album without 50 cent. Buck is from Tenn but spends half his album talking about New York. If you need something to listen to desperately or you just listen to beats then you should buy it. I warn you though, this album however will not set any trends! |

| Keep your eye on it | The ties included with this did not hold it in place. Eventually I got it to stay on and it did the job well and caught a bunch of lint until a few weeks later it fell off the hose and plugged up the drain in the washer drain tub and flooded the basement. So if you use this make sure you are standing by the washer when the water drains through it. |

| Forget the anti-hype | Seriously - this cd rocks. I was a bit worried when Anthem 2 didn't live up to its predecessor (but in my mind, what can except for something like untitled or enthused) but I soon realized that Blink has gone back to their Dude days and that is good news for all the true fans out there. This is not for those teeny-boppers that think they are going to get more "small things". this is a true fans' cd, complete with a hilarious secret song. My favorite tracks are Stay together for the kids and rock show. |

| closest thing to live | I saw The White Stripes play in a smaller venue just before they blew up, and it was one of the best live shows I have ever seen. This DVD captures much of the energy, spontaneity and enthusiasm that makes them so great on stage.As far as the sound quality goes, it leaves little to be desired. The film is shot on Super 8 AND 16mm (contrary to another reviewer's understanding) and may be a bit grainy for some. For me, it only added to the sense raw power that this Detroit City's power duo showers upon their audience. |
