| bad attitude, great research | Mr. Perle's disclaimer does this book an injustice: Spitz's sequel to the Scaduto and Shelton biographies bears the aspect of a "tabloid-style hatchet job" unmistakably. Nevertheless the amazing quality of Spitz's even-then-still-timely research remains irreducible, and his book cannot be responsibly neglected by scholars of the topic.As for Perle's claim that "An autobiography by Bob Dylan was also available," well, if only! Won't that be the day! |

| why is the video not available for rent or purchase? | What's the deal with amazon not having the episode available. I've been purchasing each episode from amazon but this is not acceptable. I should have stuck with itunes. |

| Beautiful Collection | This is a terrific collection with a wide range of songs from one of the most spectacular voices the music industry has ever heard. Patsy Cline's gorgeous voice and the emotion she put into her songs makes them heartbreaking to listen to, or if an upbeat song, especially fun to listen to. She just can't be topped. I only wish there were a Patsy Cline Christmas album available. I highly recommend this CD to any Patsy Cline or country music fan. Great selection of hit songs! |

| exactly what i ordered | This is the second replacement pot we had to buy for this pot. It is so expensive, and if you don't treat it right, it'll shatter. DO NOT leave the maker on with less than half an inch of coffee in the pot for any lenghth of time, as this will weaken the integrity of the pot. Saying that, this is the correct pot and I still would have bought it. |

| Very Flimsy Construction | We purchased this unit and quickly returned it. We have had other Brita filters and liked them very much. Upon using and filling this unit I found that it already had a plastic piece broken off and at that point I had only taken it out of the box. After filling and trying to put the lid on it another piece broke off. That was all I needed. If the quality and flimsiness were that bad I wasn't going to mess with it anymove. To save their good name if I were Brita management I would take this unit off the shelves on a recall and redesign the top and make it more substantial and then start selling them again. My opinion of Brita is now in the basement because of the poor quality of this unit. |

| My Review of the Book Wolf Rider | I read the book Wolf Rider by Avi. It is a mystery, where a person named Andy received a phone call. A man said that he killed a girl named Nina Klemmer. In this book, Andy tries to uncover this man, and finds a lot more than he had bargained for.I recommend this book to other readers because it is very descriptive, and it is very cliffhanging. Also, Wolf Rider is addicting, so you can't stop reading it. I liked this book because it is realistic enough for you to feel like you know the character really well. A reason why I didn't like this book, is because the main character, Andy, received a phone call saying a man had just killed a girl, and absolutely nobody believed Andy. I think that at least one person should have believed him because it would have made the story a lot better.M. DanMrs. Bannon's Fifth Grade Class |

| Very slow to fill | This pitcher is tall and as such does not fit under my tiny apartment sinks. This forces me to hold the pitcher at an angle while I fill it. The reservoir does not hold enough water to fill up the pitcher, so you've got to fill up the reservoir, wait for it to filter into the main area and then fill it again. If you choose not to fill the reservoir a second time then you've got approximately two servings of water before you have to fill it up again. So if you like to constantly fill up plastic pitchers this is the product for you! Brita, please make this pitcher wider. |

| OUTSTANDING! | I judge the books I read by making a decision as to whether to buy the books for my children or not. This is one book that I will purchase for all 4 of my kids; it is that good! It is written in novel form but with a strong message. I also purchased the audio version and what I like is that I can select a specific track and listen just to the 7 different decision messages which are written in the form of affirmations. This book confirms my strong opinion that out minds are just like computers, you put garbage in and you get garbage out. This book gives the reader the opportunity to put quality in and get quality out! The messages are so powerful to me that I created a wall chart with all seven decisions on it and it is posted prominently over my desk where I can review it every day! The book holds your interest while at the same time giving you great affirmations to live your life by. I highly recommend the book be included in everyone's personal library. |

| Avoid like the plague. | This is, very simply, one of the most pointless and immature albums I have EVER heard. Unless you truly love stupid "gross-out" humor and can't handle more than three chords per song, stay away from this album as if it was smallpox. No better than any bubblegum pop band. |

| Jesus and Elohim; Are They the Same God? | The points this book tries to bring up can be more so asked about the differences between Jesus and Elohim.this book asks; "how it is possible that we see a total contradiction in the message of the Bible and the message of the Quran?"The fact is that Jesus contradicted Elohim on the laws of divorce, sabbath, defense, dealing with adultery, parents, food, etc...This book also ignores that the momentous 10 Commandments from Elohim are reaffirmed in the Quran while they are abolished in the NT, you can't get more contradictory than that. Elohim punished millions of people in the OT for not following the 10 Commandments, now this book wants to tell us they never mattered?Allah is more similar to Elohim than Jesus ever was, yet this author time and time again displays a grave lack of knowledge of all three Testaments.John B |

| Was good, not great, until it quit working | This is a pretty good phone for the price. Works pretty well, although I found the buttons to be a bit quirky. For example, sometimes when I hit the Headset button to start a call, I get a dialtone, but none of the number buttons will work. If I end the call and go through the process again, it works fine. Kindof strange. I have noticed a few "button glitches" like this. But the worst problem I have experienced is after using the phone for about 6 months. The Line 2 button just quit working all together. It just will not allow me to select Line 2. Line 1 still works fine, so I am just using it as a 1-line phone now. Could just be I got a defective phone, but because it only lasted 6 months, and the buttons sometimes are quirky, I had to give it only 2 stars. |

| Never push the One, you won't win. | Seeing WolfDreamer again was like hearing from a long lost friend, like a message from the past. I found the scene with him and Sunchaser in the future at the ruins of Chaco Canyon to be some of the most powerfull writing they have done so far. The Spirals crying out for WolfDreamer to save them and now knowing what became of Green Ash's(People of the River) son Born of Water was gutwrenching. You can relate to the panic the people must have been feeling watching their world change before their eyes, having mammoths drown themselves and forgetting what some animals looked like must have been unsettling to them. It also dosen't help that their best Dreamer has lost his way to the One and has fallen for a hunted woman. The only annoying side of the story was Lambkill,he was a bit to inhuman too evil and crazed to care about or even feeling the least bit sorry for him. |

| Soundtrack For The Worst Reality Show Of The Summer. | Am I probably one of the few people who think that this record is contributing to music's decline.Seriously,what is so great about this CD.All this CD is are cover versions of songs that were not even good to begin with.[...]Absolutely no one on this record has any talent at all.[...]Trust me people,this is manufactured pop,not music as some may call it.Please do not buy this CD,because all you are going to do nothing more than put money in the pockets of the greedy producers of this show.Please save your money.Hope this review was of help.Peace Out. |

| Country not bluegrass | I saw these guys live in Telluride this summer (2005), and they were amazing. So I bought the CD, and it is vastly different from what I heard. In my opinion, the songs on this CD are closer to country than real bluegrass. I gave the CD to a friend who also loved their Telluride set, and he just gave it back to me without even listening to the whole thing. Don't bother with this one if you are looking for bluegrass! |

| Katherine Dunn's a genius | Katherine Dunn's the reason why I'm not a writer. Don't get me wrong, I wanted to be a writer. I was in a 'writer's group', and had this great idea about a short story involving a circus geek/midget, married to the fat-lady...oh, it had possibilities.Until, during my research i read 'Geek love'. And I realized my story had been done. By someone much more talented than me. By someone with a voice and imagination that left me stunned and depressed for weeks, and enamored of her talent for a lifetime.I now collect her work, and will pay top dollar for any original copies. On subject: this book is amazing off subject: katherine, please answer my calls, i only want to ask you one question. |

| Didn't work for me, tore up work | I like the Kreg equipment and do lots of pocket hole jointery, so this seemed like a great addition - but it isn't. The trouble is the clamp is very heavy, and is fitting into a small pocket hole. Clamp it too tight, and it blows out the top of the pocket hole, marring your workpeice - and the same can happen if you do not somehow support this heavy clamp. If you do get one, don't use it on any surface that will ever be visable (i.e. a hole you are going to fill with a plug) and don't use it in an area you don't want marred. Pocket holes jointery is simple, efficient, and easy - this clamp is the exact opposite. |

| Been There, Done That | Yes, you've seen this film before. And yes, that isn't always a bad thing, but here your time is wasted. See "Ransom" again if you need a fix. Plot holes populate this movie to the point of frustration, the acting is average, the suspense is minimum, etc. It really doesn't take advantage of its premise. I would have been more interested if it became an intense psychological thriller dealing with the inner workings of this young woman's mind. "I'll never tell!" Yeah right, she tells ten minutes later in full deatil. |

| TAKE OFF YOUR PANTS AND JACKET PLEASE! CAUSE THIS CD ROCKS! | Wow! i'm gonna start off by saying that i would pay anything for this album. I had previously owned a burned copy of this cd but it was so good i went out and bought it earkier today. The best part about it is that the songs are so catchy not only can u listen to them over and over again but u will want to listen to the songs sooo much that you cant help it! Also please do not classify this as pop. OK people pop is that crap like backstreet boys, N*SYNC, and other "boy baands" and people like britany spears and justin timberlink. but if u classify blink as pop ir flppin crazy. I mean come on when was the last time you listened to backstreet boys and they where singing about getting blown or layed down? so think about it more before u catagorize this awesome band into a specific genre. |

| "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" meets "The Hill Have Eyes" but not as good | Another movie that a cast that consist of hot girls, but just not enough nudity to make up for how boring this moive really is, its just corny, in-breads that run a hotel and just so happens that they're the only law around, (kinda like "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" meets "The Hill Have Eyes") if you like movies..... Find another movie you think you might be interested in, and buy it! |

| Blues ain't nothin' | Aside from a couple of tasty mid-tempo numbers, this is strictly straight-ahead hard-driving blues music. These are the blues sung in a voice that one will not find amongst the fresh-faced participants of American Idol. These blues are sung in an authentic voice that had to be EARNED. Try sitting still while you listen to the Low Down Dirty Blues; you can't do it.Long live Bill Magee! Long live the Blues! |

| Looks great, sounds great ... song choice limited | The Shuffle looks great - I have a cute little pink number. It sounds great - doesn't matter what I plug it into, sound quality is awesome. Is lightweight and great to train with at gym - I usually clip it onto a gra strap and then don't touch it again from start to finish of a workout. The problem: If you particularly want to listen to a song you have on it, you have no chance With no screen display, scrolling through tracks is hugely time consuming and frustrating. Conclusion: a great product if you just want to use it while running or at the gym. |

| heart renching veiw of what really happens in the wrold | This book was a real eyeopener as to how the rest of the world, outside the united states, conducts their human affairs. It was a real look into the struggles for freedom and democracy and the consequences of fighting for them. Unfortunately this family was used as an example, of what could happen if one speaks out against government. Page turning |

| Don't buy unless you want to always hold the top! | So excited to get this to replace our current Brita Pitcher. This holds a bit more, and I thought it would be fun to upgrade from white to the purple. As soon as I got it, I unpacked it and checked it out. The lid does NOT snap on like my current pitcher's does. It just rests on the top of the purple insert. When you press your thumb down on the purple part to pour, it appears as if that might help hold the entire lid down, but it does lift up some near the front. A total hassle, so I packaged it back up to return and won't be buying a new pitcher now. It's one thing if you can train yourself to remember to make sure the lid doesn't fall off, but if a guest comes over they are prone to possibly spill some water.Don't be fooled by the sleek look of this pitcher! I guess it's too much to ask that they make the lid snap on like their old designs. Ridiculous!! |

| Good player, but with too many limitations | I dislike ipod shuffle when I found this on their web site.Note: iPod shuffle is intended for use with a single computer. You cannot load music from multiple computers or iTunes libraries onto iPod shuffle like you can with other iPods.The itunes software is very difficult to use for old people, very slow to load music, and crashes often in my windows xp. |

| Overly speculative | As far as we know, there is still only one universe that we can observe by our instruments. What is the evidence for the supposedly 10^500 other universes that we cannot observe? Hint: they are unobservable.The landscape problem was a by-product of the Super String Theory that was unable to make consistent predictions about our universe. Perhaps it is not so super after all. Susskind should delay publications claiming unobservable worlds until there are evidence of just observing one other universe that is not of our own. If there are indeed 10^500 worlds around, that should not be so difficult. |

| Horrible Pop Slop | Throwaway, immature lyrics, the same stale power chord riff recycled 13 different ways, and horribly juvenile sexual jokes from three 30-somethings with children. Download "Stay Together For the Kids," and buy their latest album, and beyond that, forget blink-182 even exists. They're not worth remembering. Oh, and before you click 'not helpful,' know that I do appreciate the genre of pop-punk. I enjoy New Found Glory, The Offspring, NoFX, and some of Simple Plan. But this is STILL horrible. |

| Probably the worst blink cd | I really liked Dude Ranch, Cheshire Cat, and Buddha, but TOYPAJ just doesn't live up to those. Sure, Mark is still a bad bass player, Tom still can't sing, and Travis is the only one with talent, but their music isn't nearly as good. They were probably overtaken by money right before Enema of the State by a new record label and were bribed to do more pop music. The good thing is this is a bit better then Enema was. I enjoyed songs 9-11. Everything else I can't really stand. "Online Songs" is basically the new "All the Small Things" It takes that same sort of kiddie punk sound and adds in the na na na's and all that other lame stuff. "First Date" is also pretty lame and just shows that they can do better then they are doing. Blink, I'm ashamed of you and wish that you hadn't sold out and that someday you'd come back as a real punk band again. |

| when are they going to grow up | When people think of Blink 182 they think of mainstream popping punk. This album fits this sterotype exactly. Tom's voice on the album is horrible. The songs all sound the same with the pop Blink 182 sound. This album is not worth your money. Blink 182 is not punk music but mainstreamed, corporate jingles. How old are these guys anyways, they sound like they just hit puberty. This is not for the true punk rocker. |

| Don't waste your time! | I only gave this movie 1 star becasue I wasn't able to give it zero (0) stars. Fans of Denise Richards and/or Darryl Hannah will be disappointed. Reading the plot you think it's a twist on Wild Things. Basically it's a documentary talking to prostitutes. Richards and Hanna are in the movie for about 5 minutes total screen time. Pick yourself something else to watch. |

| Give it a shot | If you are depressed or uncertain about your "role" in life, this may not do much to uplift you. This cd contains intraspective, highly intelligent lyrics that are numbing at times. The songs are beautifully crafted and written. Mr. Wade is definately a promising young songwriter. The music is reminiscent of Matchbox Twenty, Creed , Pearl Jam and even a little Vertical Horizon. Lifehouse maintains its own identity, however, and produces a solid product. Standout tracks include "Hanging By a Moment", "Sick Cycle Carousel", "Trying" and "Quasimodo". No Name Face has a lot of mellow moments, that need close listening. These are NOT the Backstreet Boys...... |

| Amazing new band | I, like many people, really liked the song "Hanging by a Moment" when I heard it on the radio. I'm a huge fan of matchbox twenty, so I went to the concert and had the pleasure of seeing Lifehouse perform live (as the opening act). They were UNBELIEVABLE! They sounded SO GOOD live. It wasn't until after the concert that I bought the album and now I only wish I could see them perform live again so I could appreciate it more. This is one of those rare albums where I liked nearly every song. That is very rare for me. I cannot believe the lead singer (and writer and musician) is only 20!!! This is a young band, with enormous talent. I look forward their future work & seeing them again live. |

| Blink Hits The Spot | Just 5 days ago, I went to a record store to pick up a new CD...I was faced with a decision: What CD should I purchase? However, I was able to narrow it down to 3 CDs: Staind-"Break The Cycle," Eve 6-"Horrorscope," and Blink-182-"Take Off Your Pants And Jacket." I slowly came to a painful decision to leave the Eve 6 and Staind on the store shelf, and purchase the Blink CD. So 5 days later, I am positive it was a good move. I absolutely LOVE this CD! But I guess the CD is still new for me, and I really haven't played it enough yet to get sick of it...But still, I absolutely love it, and would recommend it to anyone who bought either one of the previous Blink CDs. This one is a keeper. Fav. Track : "Online Songs" |

| I don't like it but we're still using it | We bought ours at a Target and the lid does not stay on and would fall off if not held in place. Also the orange plastic piece that snaps on the handle persistently comes off. We would return this if it didn't involve a 40 minute train ride out to the Target near us. Maybe the ones sold on Amazon are of a different stock and are not defective. Normally we're a huge brita fan - not so much with this purchase. |

| An empowering book for patients | As a hospitalist, It's frustrating to see patients return to the hospital because they could not afford their medications. This book attacks that problem in a new and exciting way, by empowering patients. It educates and then provides numerous tools for getting affordable medications, like using generics, pill splitting, enrolling in assistance programs, just to name a few. Physicians also should read this book. The easy to read tables make it simple to compare medications within a class and prescribe the least expensive. I'm recommending this to all my patients and colleagues. |

| Poor for Podcasts and Books on Pod | I used to have the more expensive Nano, but moved to a shuffle, because after replacing 2 Nanos I decided the price tag was too high for something I would need to replace every year or two. At one point in time iTunes would autosync my Podcasts and Books on Pod. At this point when I try to sync my free podcasts I get the message: "iTunes cannot add any songs to the iPod ... because no songs in the playlist My Podcasts can be copied to this iPod". As far as Books on Pod go, I have to manually re-find the place in the book 80% of the time because the shuffle does not remember where things last were left off. These are things I wouldn't expect from a name brand product. So far the Shuffle gets a "D" grade for useability. (I would give it an "E", but at least I have not had to replace it yet...) |

| Crap | I bought this as a replacement to my other shuffle that was accidentally washed. I figured I would purchase the same one because I liked it so much. I got this in the mail and it looked like it was in good shape, but upon use the battery life only lasted about 1.5 hours where my old one would last almost a day without continuous use. Since apple has now put out a new model of the same thing, I recently bought one. These things are tanks otherwise, I use it when I hit the mountains. |

| Short & Sweet | The book is brief, so I will be too.Good things:*Gives definitive yes and no answers.*Doesn't waste words on history or wishy-washy subjective stuff.*Good sense of humor.*Names specific items.Bad things:*Zero organization. Can't flip to a reference to re-read it.*Have to ignore recomendations sometimes. (Desert Boots are ugly)*Overpriced for size.This is not a stand-alone book, but it does serve as a great companion to a more thorough but open-ended and nonspecific book like _Dress Casually for Success_ or _Chic Simple Mens Wardrobe_. Actually, esquire.com gives some of that info itself, as long as quote the book. So go to the site first and read some of the quips before you buy. |

| Nice | I must say, the lyrics on this CD stand up for themselves, they are beautiful. I love how they don't say straight out what they're getting at. However, the music itself isn't up to the lyrics since you can turn on to any station at all and hear the same stuff. They need to write better music to go with their awesome lyrics. |

| Seek and you shall find! | This book is a great blessing. As a former Catholic who never even considered leaving the Roman Catholic "Church" this is a real eye-opener. The book methodically details the difference between God's Word, The Bible, and the TRADITIONS OF MEN, the Catechism.If you no longer want to be brainwashed and realize the bondage you are in when it comes to the Catholic religion, read this book. God Loves you! That's the Good News. The question is, do you know Jesus?Jesus says, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."READ: He did not say through RELIGION, nor did He say THROUGH MY 'CHURCH', nor did He say THROUGH MY SACRAMENTS.Trust Jesus, and Him alone! |

| Dissappointed | The reconditioned Shuffle I purchased was great - for about three uses. Then, in the middle of a song, it went 'clunk' and stopped working completely. When I went to the seller's website I found that they do not accept returns after 14 days from purchase. Since I was only using the device about once a week, that period had already elapsed, so I guess I am out of luck. Buyer beware. |

| ESQUIRE'S Things A Man Should Know About Style | I think this book is puffery at its best. Some of the advice is very pedestrian and even a bit cocky (in an effort to be amusing). Most men who have any real style at all -- or know anything about clothes -- will find it boring. Speaking of boring, has anyone seen the suits that are featured these days in ESQUIRE? Tight-fitting rigs that show a big belt buckle, too many buttons, tight legs, and probably being worn by some young guy with a three-day growth. Experts on style? There are far better books on classical, quality dressing than this mediocre, eight-year-old rhubarb. Save your money. |

| Gritty, real, irresistible | This is one of those CDs you got for free somewhere and didn't remember you had until months later. It's raw, it's real, but it doesn't grate your ears or your stomach. Lifehouse manages to ride the line between angry rock and easy listening by being honest and up-front while letting you know it's OK to share the gamut of feelings present in the songs. It's like listening to someone tell their story and nodding your head in eager agreement. This is one CD that won't grow old with time even as you change and grow within your own life, because the emotions here are part of that thing called Life. |

| Nearly useless. Needlessly irreverent. | It'll take you about 20 minutes to read the book from cover to cover. If all the tid-bits, tips and info were typed end to end you could fit the whole book on to a page and half of 9x11. The authors assume that men either can't or don't like to read - so they take a sort of short hand approach to their content. Even more irritating than the lack of substance is that there is no order to the book - it's just a random scattering of one-liners. A simple index or table of contents would have tripled this book's usefulness. As it is you'd have to take notes or create your own table of contents if you wanted to use it as any sort of guide. It's good for a browse through once a in a while just to remind yourself of some style basics... but for someone who really wants a comprehensive guide for men - keep looking. |

| a very interesting book ^_^ | a friend recommended this book to me and i did a book report at school for this book. I think it's really a good book. I like the bits about David experiencing new things, things in our human world, which he never knew about... and when he reconized god as his only god and asked god for help and strength... :) I would recommend this book to every teenager |

| great idea, not well executed | These racks are a great space saving idea. However, I have had mine up on the inside of a solid wood cabinet door for about a month and it keeps falling off (double faced tape stays on cabinet, plastic rack piece comes off). I would also recommend separating the individual racks so they arent in a strip of 4. If you are using slightly larger sized spice bottles the plastic will stretch out unevenly at the ends causing the bottles to fall out. |

| INCREDIBLE KICKBOXING ACTION IN "THE STRIKE" | "THE STRIKE" is a martial arts movie full of INCREDIBLE kickboxing action and plenty of foxy babes! Two of the stand-outs are Stephanie Sinclair, who has a VERY revealing shower scene, and Autumn Vena, who plays a herion-addicted hooker in an Asian gangster's private bordello. Some of the fighting is this movie is especially vicious, so basically there's never a dull moment! Catch it - you won't be sorry! |

| I won''t take off my pants for this album | I would rather listen to this album than Britney Spears, Christina Agulaira, Avril Lavigne etc. any day of the week, but Blink 182 are sold out, and I think they made this album to please MTV. They don't care about making punk music anymore, they just want to make money, and I don't blame them, but that's what this album is. And the problem is, once you're mainstream, there's no going back. I'm sure at least 8/10 of you who like this album also like pop music, music that gets lots of radio play. If you want some 'real' Blink 182, buy Budha and Cheshire Cat, which are good punk albums, or Dude Ranch, a great pop-punk album.R.I.P. Blink 182 |

| Learning To Live, Over and Over | A sprawling yet deeply personal piece of American writing - wistful, angry and consolatory in equal measure; aptly titled and performed. The best album of the 00s. |

| Don't depend on it | This type of window lock has been around for years and long recognized as unreliable (I thought). I discarded all of mine, as once the window is broken, what is to prevent the intruder from reaching in and unscrewing the lock? |

| Took me a while to get used to the new doctor. | I loved the first 4 seasons of Doctor Who but was a bit disappointed with the first half of season 5. Even though I found the first half of the season disappointing I was happy I finished it, and it was pretty enjoyable overall. |

| 80's R&B (sometimes) at it's best | The good cuts on this album are very good; Come into My Life, It's Love that makes a woman but All-n-all is one of if not the classic 80's post disco dance cut. The UK remix is powerful. Anyone who doesn't like this one has no soul and definitely cannot dance. It's pure energy and power. The horns are tremondous. How anyone can hear this one and not jump out of their seat is beyond me. The rest of the album is average to above average at best.Still a must for any 80's R&B fan. |

| The Shame Borne in Silence | I think that every Jewish man and woman would benefit from reading this book. Abraham Twerski is a highly educated psychiatrist/rabbi, who has excellent thoughts about this unfortunate universal problem. He has insightful answers that are helpful no matter whether the reader is orthodox, conservative or reform. He can only raise the consciousness level of all of us, and offer suggestions to both the victim and the perpetrator of spousal abuse. |

| second gen ipod shuffle | I bought this ipod shuffle for my mom, who primarily uses it while she's walking. And she says she loves it, even though she's very old fashioned about her tech. It lasts long enough so she doesnt have to charge it everyday, which is pretty nice. I would recommend it to people like my mom who aren't very technologically savvy. |

| VERY BAD | The product which is shipped does not have resemblance to the image displayed here. It has a black display on top which makes it look really ugly and also it has iron wires propping out which can be cause injury. |

| Not bad | This review addresses the cd-audio edition of the Traveler's Gift. This work is probably better appreciated in the print form, as sometimes the story was a bit slow-moving, and other times, one wants to linger over some of the points (specifically, the seven decisions).Also, the narrator often sounded like he had just a little bit of excess moisture in his mouth. I kept wishing he would pause and swallow before continuing!All in all, a very sweet, thought-provoking little story with a nod to "It's a Wonderful Life." |

| Super Slick ;) | My wife and I have been using this product for a few years and it is super slippery and peforms great. I'm not sure what Amazon's policies are on explicitness so I will try to be discrete while still getting the point across here. I would not recommend this for "alternate entry" because it is so hard to wash off. She doesn't like it in her at all. We only use it now for her great hand skills ;) That way it is "on" us and not "in" us. We use the other Wet products for other activities (both the Wet regular and Wet light). |

| By far the best of alternative rock | No Name Face is an excellent C.D. When i first heard Hanging By a Moment it was in one word ... phenomenal. I knew that i had to buy this C.D. as soon as possible In the end however, track number 11, Quasimodo became my ultimate favorite song. This C.D. is a stupendous buy and i would reccomend it to anyone who likes to listen to real music with meaningful lyrics. |

| Body Exercises that make Choropractors obsolete | The principles of Somatics absolutely address all your aches and pains whereby you take control to put yourself back in place by training your muscles. Best if you can locate an instructor for class instruction to enhance the illustrations as well as add new exercises. It is most unfortunate that Thomas Hanna did not continue on earth to realize his contribution for so many. |

| Story of Death Valley in Pictures | The book contains some really good pictures. It is a good primer of what you can expect to see in Death Valley. It also gives you idea about where to wait for good pictures. The book would have been more useful if there were info about the picture details like what amount of hike/exposures were required. |

| MMM Good Water Bad Top | Well I REALLY LOVE the clean taste of the water and I expected it from Brita. I got this (my favorite color) Purple Brita Grand knowing that a few of reviews stated a problem with the lid coming off quite easily & IT DOES, one would thing that Brita's QA department would have noticed this and correct it by now. What I did to correct this problem was to take a rubber band and placed it under the lid around the part that fits into the pitcher & PRESTO it actually works...take a HINT Brita. Otherwise a GREAT Taste Producing thing to have. ;-) |

| Cable Did Not Work | Tried the cable on two different HDTV's and two different laptops. It simply didn't work. The TV's went blank and said they weren't receiving a signal. Ended up buying a Belkin VGA to VGA cable and it worked perfectly. |

| It deserves less than 1 | ...Yes, I made the mistake of buying this poor exuse for punk. I usually listen to GOOD bands such as offspring, millencolin, bad religion and A.F.I. but i was curious so i bought it and listened.After the first few seconds of the anthem part 2 I didn't think it was too bad, but, as the chorus kicked in, I soon realised it was. I listened on, hoping it would get better but it didn't and by the fourth or fifth track, I gave up and introduced the cd to the heel of my shoe.What I find most irritating is the way people think this is funny. This is not funny. REPEAT, THIS IS NOT FUNNY. ...AT ALL. especially for a group of 25-30 year old men which they now are. thats not funny, just bad. |

| Beautifully Shot Japanese Classic | In 1965, Japan was way ahead of its time in both film content and scene selection...The character development and acting is still top-notch. There is not much more to say about this movie (the other reviews are really exhaustive!!)... I feel almost anyone can watch and enjoy such a movie, from film students to avid movie-goers- all will find a classic work worthy of reflection. |

| What I like about Working Cures | Excellent information about healing, herbs, and African American midwives in the antebellum period. Highly recommended for readers interested in health, birthing, and midwives in the African American community during that time. Unexpectedly, also great art! |

| Difficult to put down - very well written - another classic | This book was difficult to put down but incredibly long. The subtle nuances authored by Mr. Grisham provide a compelling and thought provoking reading. The part addressing wiretapping and the hilarious results surrounding the pompous big time attorney and the jury is one of many examples of the tremendous talent that Mr. Grhisham exhibits in his authorship. Well Done..!!! |

| my review | This is the first book I have read from this author and I must say I did enjoy it. It brings to life an aspect of the life lived in the mid 1600's that has really never been presented so openly.It is true that under King Louis XIV, the "Sun King", life was very hard for the common people, while at Court, life was extremely frivolous. But in this book it shows the extent people were willing to go to live in, and be accepted by, that Court.Very interesting book full of detail and very lively characters. |

| What's all this fuss ?!? | This is a syrupy collection of all her OLD Canadian songs.There are only four unreleased tracks,but they are all in that ugly,kitschy,grand Las Vegas style that Celine has made her own...Well,you know what I'm talking about...Plus there is the ...unfamously super-hype vocal quartet Il Divo in one song 'I Believe In You'...horrendous!Backed by a huge media blitz from Sony, expect to see a lot of phony "great reviews". Probably the worst album of the millenium thus far.Avoid this like the plague, and buy Edith Piaf ! Trust me! |

| Yay! | This is a really fun cd! I like almost all of the songs. "Reckless Abandon" and "Happy Holidays are kind of funny, but they get old fast. Over all, though, this cd is one of my favorites, "Roller Coaster" being my favorite song. This cd is full of energy and is great to listen to when you're trying to get ready in the morning, or when you get home from work (or school).Note to parents: Don't let your 8 year old listen to this. The subject matter and language are not appropriate. |

| Excellent overview | This is an excellent addition to the Pediatric Habilitation series. It is just the right size and level of complexity for medical students and pediatric housestaff on a one month rotation or elective in Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics, and it is brief enough to be useful to the medical practitioner as a quick review of the basic principles of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics. The present textbook fills an urgent need for such a concise overview of an enlarging and important piece of pediatric medicine. It is highly recommended as the introductory text for students at all levels. |
