| Like Dandelion Dust | Wow! What a story!! I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I was never sure how it would end. I love all Karen Kingsbury books. I love the way this story is current as well as it could have happened in any era. I'm not sure what I would have done had I been in the same situation as Molly, but I found myself thinking the same. This story shows how no matter how we make plans, the Lord is in control. |

| Cheap feel, tin sound, not loud. | I was not impressed with this CD player. It has a tinny sound to it and the volume is limited. Would not be good for the outdoors, where I bought it for. The CD player skips, so I know this is a defective unit thus far. The radio reception is also sub-par. Some of the markings (decals) are rubbed off and the unit had some scratches on it like it was a return or refurb. Will most likely return it to Amazon. |

| It Had to Happen! | Finally, a 60s rocker has grown up. Rod Stewart still has the best rock voice in the history of rock and roll (my personal bias) and he uses his own style to update these wonderful songs. He is very wise to go in this direction. He has proven he can grow up, still be sexy, and still give an exciting performance. Bravo, Rod! Keep this series of albums coming!!! |

| A Parable for Our Gay Times | With the explosion of porn distribution on the net and the constant rise and fall of "stars" being basically anyone paid to be naked for an orgasm in front of a camera at any time in their lives, the story of Joey Stefano is a cautionary tale that many ought heed. This entertainingly written and fairly well researched biography is a brief but revealing text. Perhaps Stefano's life could not carry a longer book, either. In any event, the reader will join him on a fast down escalator into self-destruction that shows the reality of low self-esteem, emotional insecurity, and short life span (in the marketplace or, like Stefano, literally) that often marks the human fabric of this industry. Well worth the investment of time and money, not least because a number of the people in the book, like Chi Chi LaRue, continue as active presences in the business of the meat market. |

| Faithful to the original sounds, but sounds better! | I had lost my original copy of TB, so when I saw this, I figured, "Why not?" I was not disappointed. I popped it in the CD player and it immediately made me smile, because it wasn't a "remake," "remix," or "rehash." It was like hearing the original the way I wished I could have heard it, in full audio glory. The most significant difference, which I don't mind because it also makes me smile, is the use of John Cleese to narrate the "roll call" section... sweet! :o) All of the quirky guitar, bass, and synth sounds you remember are here... you just hear *more* of them. The original was sonically groundbreaking in its time... but thank God for modern recording technology! Nicely done, Mike! |

| This just isn't any good | I'm living in the Netherlands and have waited for the online version of Doctor who season 5 to be available since the release of the Christmas special. I Loved all the Mofatt eps in Davies era, so I was looking forward to the new series. I'm sorry but it's a total disappointment. I watched ep 1 online and thought that I had accidentally downloaded some cheap Scifi show from the states. The story line was unappealing for adults older than 8, the new Doctor is emotionless and cold, and Amy is as charming as a pouting goldfish. Why did they do such a horrible job at casting? I kept watching, hoping that it would eventually get better, but even the ep with the weeping angels was an utter disappointment, by the time I got to the Vampire ep, I just stopped watching. I think I just keep my old DVDs of Ten/Davies era and forget about this new "kiddie" Doctor who. I'm way too old to believe in an wandering stick insect who saves planets trailing a blowlipped kipper.Cheers |

| Bought the first, Didn't buy the Greek | I bought Josh Groban's first concert DVD set two years ago after seeing it on TV and have loved it ever since. I too have all of his CD's, including his latest "Closer." So I was all prepped to love "Live at the Greek" with as much gusto. I'm sorry to say that the concert wasn't interesting for me at all. I think that Josh's voice problems were just too much for me to handle. With such a tremendous voice, Josh should really protect it. Outdoor concerts may sound great to those who are there (and busy screaming) but it doesn't work for Josh Groban on a DVD. I also was disappointed that he repeated so many of the selections from the first concert and they weren't done very well this time. He actually does have newer material! Anyway this concert was not worth my buying. So I didn't buy it. No regrets. |

| Defective Unit | After anxiously awaiting arrival of this unit, when I got it, I was highly disappointed. After going thru everything needed for the hook up, and trying to use unit to view new DVD i also bought, the door would not open to receive the dvd. i tried opening it both from the unit itself, and from the remote. Called phillips support, and finally had to send it back to Amazon. I am not gonna order another one! |

| Not a great read | There's a dearth in gay oriented science fiction, and this book sadly wasn't worth reading. It makes sense that in this type of book, the erotic aspect would come before the science fiction theme, but the book didn't strike me as erotic either. Perhaps it's me, but when the body fluids you're describing are vomit and blood, I don't see how that's a turn on. In my opinion, John Preston's work might be preferable or for gay science fiction, perhaps consider Kyle Stone's The Initiation of PB 500 and it's sequel The Citadel. |

| One of my favorite books! | It's been a while since I last read it, over 20 years, but I remember how into it I was- I packed it around everywhere!Now that I am doing so again I have a long list of friends on the waiting list for it! I would recommend it to just about anyone male or female teenager to great-grandparent. I think this book is universally entertaining and mentally stimulating. |

| "Sleepwalk Groove Music" | After a long dance skate in Central Park, Joyce Sims' grooves always stayed on one's mind. "Come Into My Life" was the song that made you say: "...after this one" when you just swore that you were going to sit the next song out. A guy offers his hand, you take a long swig of Evian, and you were off in the circle again, groovin' to deep urban-tribe rhythm and bass.I would groove to Sims on long plane rides from NY to London; on Staten Island Ferry rides to beat the city heat; and on the beach with my Brazilian girls in Miami; dropping into late night house-music clubs to expend that endless energy... My homie Richard at Savannah in the 5th of Paris, would play all of the music that I bought from home, and his patrons would groove deep in appreciation... Joyce Sims rocks.My sleepwalk music, when insomnia hit, and I had to keep on movin' and groovin' through the city nights. Yes, I hear hip-hop artists sampling her master cuts, but ain't nothing like the real thang:) |

| Buck the trend! Pure mediocrity. | I first heard of Papa Roach at a free Stone Temple Pilots gig in a SanDiego parking lot, where a guy from a record label was passing outpromo CDs. He said they were kind of like Korn, but much better. I went home, popped in the CD, and heard... Therapy, an Irish rock band that never sold well in the US (their best CD, Troublegum, is out of print in the US but available from foreign sources. . . This is good, I don't like Korn anyway. Being an STP fan, I like more exciting, intelligent music, and I emphasize music instead of lyrics because too many people overlook the sounds that support the message. Papa Roach is simply conventional, trendy music. Nothing new or revolutionary, and it doesn't even sound that great. |

| very small size | Didn't expect this puzzle to be so small as it is only 5" x 5" base with a 4 1/2" circle puzzle, very mini in actual size. Hopefully the grandchild will like it as the cost of shipping was greater than the toy price. |

| best new band so far | where do you start with papa roach.the cd has all the energy and groove of all their rivals in the nu metal scene but it is the blending that makes this so special.the agression and modern influences are all present and correct but it is the addition ,on songs such as last resort, of the more classic metal influences that make this cd different.in theory blending riffs worthy of iron maiden with the often pop accessability of blink 182 and the intensity of any of the top rap core bands should not work.in practise it does.this is the best cd of 2000.miss it at your peril. |

| One of if not the best cd out there | This Cd is Great. It has 13 of the best tracks ever created.

It has 13 great tacks: Anthem pt. 2, Online songs(personal fave.), First Date, Happy Holidays, Story of a lonley guy, The rock show, Stay together for the kids, Roller Coaster, Reckless abandon, Everytime i look for you, Give me one good reason, shut up and Plese take me home.

| Ok 2B Exact | The album is OK but not the way everyone is making it out to be. these are the type of songs you might like for about a week but after that you're done because Nelly's music hold's no longivity for the fact the songs he make are so simple & chessy. I would burn this album. I couldn't see myself paying over 10 dollars for 11 songs but that's just me. If you like the CD then enjoy it for about a week or two. |

| I don't get it.... | Everytime I listen to this it reminds me of 80's new wave...like flock of seagulls or something or that techno rock. This is pretty far removed from stoner rock. On its own without any preconceived notions its probably OK but not what I expected. |

| man let me tell you this is great | Way back when I was about to go to camp, id say last summer, me and my friend where watching MTV2 and we saw a video of a band called "papa roach". The video "last resort" was a great video but me and my friend still laughed at the name "papa roach". Well when we got back from camp they had "infested" they world with that very song. I decited to wait for another single to come out before I got the cd. When "broken home" came along I thought it was an awsome song so I went to the store and got the cdIt went all downhill from there............... :(I poped it in my player, and dont be fooled last resort and broken home ARE THE ONLY GOOD TRACKS. Then I learned that the riffs were taken from an Iron Madien song so that only left one track. Well after many tries of trying to find something good about it I sold it to my cousin and I have it no more. Dont let the same thing happen to you.................................. |

| Loved It! Except for one scene with GAVIN. | Well done, Mary Jo Putney! The author gave us an authentic love story between Gavin & Alexandra. Really authentic. The story wasn't boring in the least. These characters were finely written and I felt as if I were IN the story with all these people rather than just reading the book. My only quirk with the story was this: within hours of the tragic fire at his warehouse, when Gavin was supposed to be so distraught, he decided to fill out the paperwork for an insurance claim. Huh? Wouldn't that have been the very least thing on his mind? |

| Holders break | I have a set of these stuck to the inside of my pantry door. At first they were wonderful! Then the little arms started to break, bottles would fall to the floor. As long as you don't use them to hold bottles, they'd probably last...but I doubt it. Good idea executed poorly. |

| Bad music, this is what we called bad music | One of the worst CD's existed.I have listened to hundreds of bands better than this PAPA ROACH (Stupidest band name).

| QOTSA had better thank the gods of rock for LANEGAN | This cd is bad folks. It has two bright spots, both are songs that have Mark Lanegan on vocals. Another song he sings on, not even he could save. I really enjoy the song Into the FADE, but as for the rest of the cd, the only cd I have bought that I liked less was MONSTER by REM. The only thing that made that worse, was the band is so good, that the expectations were higher for REM. Queens of the Stone Age have recruited Mark Lanegan as a contributing force, and I will buy the cd to hear his voice, but as big of a fan as I am, if it's as bad as RATED R, I will be back here and trying to keep you from buying it too! Buy his solo cds, and his CDs with Screaming Trees, but stay away from Rated R. Into the Fade is not worth the 12 dollars the cd will cost you. As always, be well people, and listen to music that fills your soul, not this which fills your toilet! |

| Quorum Silver | I received this item and was disappointed big time. It has very little scent, and part of the cologne content was missing. It was not filled up to the top. It made me feel cheated. This company has had this same type of complaint leveled against it before. I can see why now. Don't buy unless you want to waste your money. Tuccni isn't a good company. |

| The Black and Tans | I enjoyed this book. It debunked much of the mythology that people my age were exposed to. As a child, I knew some IRA men. They were formidable characters. My hero Michael Collins took a drubbing in this book. The use of condescending adjectives for bishops was a turn-off. Nevertheless, Bennett provides a very valuable service. |

| The essential text for lesbian and gay history. | It took me a couple of weeks to read this book, but it was worth it. Professor Crompton's book is a comprehensive history of lesbians and gay men, in Europe and Asia, from Classical Greece to the Age of Napoleon (1789-1815). His book runs out of steam after 1810, and does not deal with Africa or the Americas, but within its limitations it is first rate. I enjoyed the illustrations, the brief biographies of "great gays in history," and the extensive bibliography (a guide for further reading). All in all, "Homosexuality and Civilization" is esential reading for queer history buffs and should be the required text for any future GLBT history course. |

| Almost Perfect | I'd be lying if i said i wasn't getting sick of rap-metal (like Limp, Kid) but Papa Roach may have kept me listening a while more, the best tracks are infest and Last Resort. But it does drop little near the end which is why i scored it only a 4. But any fan of rap-metal should give it a listen, even if it is getting old |

| Editing is really good! | This CD is cool, I wish I had gotten the regular version, but Oh well. The music is awsome! The singing is great! The editing: the best I have ever heard. There is only 1 part in the whole CD where the editing cuts into the next word, but thats it! You hear the words before the curse and the words after the curse, but none of the swear itself, it's amazing! The music in this CD is the best, and track 2, Last Resort, is my current favorite song. There is nothing like it! Coby was a genius when he thought up that one. Also, tracks 1, 5 and 3 are really good, but the rest of the CD isn't that great. There are some other catchy songs, but I'll leave it to you to determine what songs you like. |

| Jonathan | I've only heard one song of there's which is Last Resort on MTV. It's just awful promoting suicide.This band needs to go to some type of counciling and just get out of the music biz because they have no talent what so ever.

| Boring!!!! | I was always a Creed fan...from the first time I heard My Own Prison. I enjoyed the passionate lyrics as well as the music. I assumed that most of the talent in the group came from Scott Stapp. I just listened to the Alter Bridge CD and could hear the distinctive guitar riffs and the beats that were so much of what I loved about Creed. I never knew that the talent in the group really lies with rest of the band! The songs on this Scott Stapp album do absolutely nothing for me...in fact, I could put the first song on "Repeat" and not even notice! Very disappointing. |

| Suit by Nelly | I personally have been a nelly fan since he came out, but after listening to suit, I was like..WTF! this is seriously probably one of the worst CD's I heard in my life, there is only one good song, and that's over and over, his last song that he talks about his daughter is second best, and is a alright song, but other than that, man he bombed this cd, it's just pure garbage all the way through. Just save your 15 bucks for this cd, or you will seriosly regret it, I am telling you now! |

| Already a fan.... | So here's the deal... All I know of O.C.M.S. is seeing their video on CMT for the song "Wagon Wheel." I recorded the video on my Digital PVR Recorder, and I have to say... I've watched the video and listened to this song about 50 times.... IN A ROW!I've not heard the rest of the album, but I soon will. From this ONE song though, they present a sound, style and attitude that has been missing from music for quite some time. It gives hope that Popular Music CAN still be an ARTFORM, rather then just another media outlet for record labels to make money by appealing to the lowest common denominator. "Hey..... Mamma Rock me!" |

| the hype | the hives have catchy tunes, and this cd may strike some as new or original in the likes of other "punk" of today (new found glory, starting line, good charlotte, ect.) but this cd is basically a tribute (rip-off) of early rolling stones or the who. not to mention, the hives arent the only swedish act garage rocking the U.S., the (international) noise conspiracy (ex-refused) have been playing garage rock style punk for a few years now, after refused's the shape of punk to come elluded to the "new" sound. for anyone who settles for the hives, im sorry, for good garage rock, pick up the (international) noise conspiracy's survival sicksness. |

| Outdated Police Report Manual | I purchased this book out of curiosity and to see what made it "The New Police Report Manual". Well, the book is out of date and uses photographs from over 20 years ago. For example, it showed a photograph of a secretary typing a report on a typewriter! The book's content has no application in today's world of law enforcement where computers are used to type police reports, search warrants and arrest warrants. This book was probably an excellent book 20 years ago but there's nothing new in it. I suggest that you save your money and read my review on an excellent police report writing manual that I have used in training new and veteran police officers. |

| Cats can play by themselves! | I ordered one of these for $2.30 and free shipping with Amazon Prime - I figured, what the heck, try it out... I have 3 cats, two of them being about 7 months old, and one of them 3 months old. All of them are NUTS over this toy. I have to admit, I was a bit "underwhelmed" when I opened the package - a wire with some twisted cardboard on it...? But, my kids play with the boxes their toys came in - the cats aren't any different! For awhile, I would hold the wire myself and wobble it around. Then I got the idea of fastening one end to a wrought iron baker's rack by weaving it through the wire designs and bending it out and away from the rack. Now the cats bat it around by themselves when I'm doing other things - I can hear the "BOING" of the wire against the rack all day long - they wear themselves out!! I've ordered 3 more of these to attach to their tree/condo! Fun stuff! |

| Um, Thug Misses? You must be joking, right? | If there was an option for vomit, I'd choose that. There was a time when it was hard for a woman to break into the business of hip-hop. Women had something to say just like male rappers did. We had the Lytes, and the Queen Latifahs. We even had the Lil Kims and Foxy Browns. This chick takes the cake, licks the plate and throws it at you. Not one lyric she has "spit" has shown any intelligence, any class, or respect for herself, her children, or her audience. Okay, I'll make it plain. Khia: Thug Misses = Garbage. It's funny how habitual offenders (.....Check how many times this Thug Miss got bagged by the fuzz!) feel like they need to explain their side of the story. She'll die for her ..... Yeah? Yeah, you'll die from utter boredom if you waste your money on this sludge. |

| Essential noir | A drifter takes what he intends to be a temporary job at a roadside diner but is soon involved in an affair with the owner's wife, which leads to a plan to bump the husband off.James M. Cain had an engaging story and stripped his prose down to the essentials, producing one of the greatest sustained examples of narrative momentum I can recall. With scarcely any interior dialogue (despite the use of a first person narrator), he paints a penetrating psychological portrait of the conspirators as their relationship evolves from their initial attraction, through their attempts at murder, until their post-crime mutual mistrust and reconciliation. The end is shattering, completing Cain's bleak portrayal of the human condition. |

| Plain English v. Legalistic Gibberish | The book was new, even radical, when I read the first edition in the early 1980s. Rutledge advocated a plain English approach to report writing instead of the affected legalese that was the style of the day (and still infests some agencies' writing).A well written narrative report has nothing to do with the technology used to produce it. Whether the writer uses a pencil and legal pad, typewriter, word processor, or clay tablet, good English is good English. Whatever else anyone wants to say about him, Rutledge broke me of some bad writing habits ("Photographs were taken by this officer of Suspect A..."). For that he has my eternal gratitude. |

| I thoroughly enjoyed Bruce Dorminey's book, Distant Wanderers | This work provides the reader with much insight into the world of scientific research and reveals the dedication and devotion scientists must possess in order to endure the setbacks and challenges. One such story is that of Labeyrie and the Hubble Space Telescope.Bruce Dorminey does an excellent job of explaining the diverse methods of planet detection. Thanks to him, I have finally grasped the concept of interferometry.Even though Distant Wanderers has been in print for some time, I found it amazingly current. A well written, informative book for the layperson, and a must read for anyone contemplating a career in astronomy or astrophysics. |

| Not Good | Don't waste your money on this game. European airwar is by far a more realistic game. The cockpits are not accurate and the is game is hard to play. The prop is way to small and looks stupid. The terrain looks good, but the gunnary looks stupid. This is one of the worste flight sims I have seen. |

| DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY | when i first heard "last resort", i thought that it was pretty good and was worth a try buying the cd. i turned on my player, and all i heard was a guy whining about his poor life and telling us that "it's in our nature to kill ourselves" or something like that. all the songs sound exactly alike and the lyrics are terrible. don't waste your well-earned money on this cd. i would have given the cd 1 star, but i gave them 2 just for trying. |

| What do people see in these guys? | Ya know, i don't get it. What do people see in this band of garralous babbling morons? sure there albums reflect the politics of blah blah blah, but the music is so repetitive and dull, it puts me into a hypnotic trans which probably everyone else has been droned into. Bono and his gang are severly overatted and dull to the ear. Not to mention that there hit singles "still haven't found what i'm looking for" and "In the name of love" sound exactly the same. If I write anymore I'll get a headache thinking about why these guys are so popular |

| run time is only 88 minutes! | According to the information on Amazons website the run time should be 92 minutes. What they sent me was the cut version run time 88 minutes. After asking for a replacement they again sent me the 88 minutes version. So finally I had to return both DVDs. They didn't correct the information on the website. |

| Lower your Standards for the Greek | If you can lower your musical standards enough, you'll be able to ignore the "nasal" and "weak" voice coming out of Josh Groban to actually buy this DVD. I watched it on PBS and couldn't watch more than the first 20 minutes. I bought his first CD because it was excellent. Since I don't accept this nasaly performance as even okay, I didn't buy this DVD set. Looks like I should thank my blessings. |

| UGH!!! | This woman is yet another example of how far gone hip-hop is. I wish it was like it was in the 80's. Back then, people were rapping about having fun or social problems like racism. Now, it's all about sex and video girls with butts the size of the moon. Khia, you can't rap. Even if you do rap successfully, it's dripping with sexual innuendos and cursing every 2 seconds. Whore. Get some Salt-N-Pepa instead. |

| Sorry, Not for me | Perhaps I'm too old to enjoy this. Personally, I didn't like it. I guess this is aimed for the teenage-young adult population. The animation was good. |

| The wrong book to get for NN study! | I do not recommend this book. I returned it within 10 days of my purchase, as I found it hard to follow and vague in many areas. Instead of buying this book, I recommend Object Oriented Neural Networks in C++ by Joey Rogers. It provides a very clear explanation of what NNs are, how they work, and how to implement them. |

| Boring like those creed Albums | a Hair Band superstar is putting out a solo album oh boy! scott Stapp from the get go followed the Peal Jam,Stone Temple Pilot formula to a letter "T". it worked because the albums sold a Bunch of records meanwhile the material was rather very 3rd tierish. pretty much a Lucky Bar band act that struck with the right sound that was on radio&got over with it.as a solo Artist Scott Stapp doesn't offer much whatsoever to my ears.this album sounds like Creed reject tracks on a whole which ain't saying much.scott stapp&Creed belong to the 80's Hair bands big time with the 90's formula for Radio play. |

| Khia is just trying to be like Trina, Foxy, and Kim! | Trina, Foxy Brown, and Lil' Kim are the original Queen Bees. Khia is a wannabe; she's got the nastiness but lacks the class that Kim, Foxy, and, to an extent, Trina have. And this stuff is really nasty without sounding sexy! It just sounds nasty. And look at the album cover! She's on the floor in this... tacky position. She looks like she just stepped out of the projects and her CD cover looks like it was made in the projects! If she wants to succeed, she needs to get a more feminine voice and needs to borrow some bling from Kim! |

| The Third "The Thing" | Forgive me, perhaps it's my age (over 50) or the fact that good acting makes a good movie. The Thing #1 ~ original done in 1951 was in black and white, had no special effects, great plot, acting was good and it all equalled a great movie ~ the one that gave James Arness the break he needed to get into the movie business (it was his first role).The Thing #2 was of course quite a bit different with the added special effects, Kurt Russell and a very feasible story line. A good movie.The Thing #3 left me with a feeling of "OK - special effects were good, but acting? Could have been a lot better. Not one I would write home about... |

| Nelly's Suit is an excellent alternative to hard-core rap | Have you ever heard a rapper who can actually sing? There are only a select few of them out there, and Nelly tops the list. On his newly released album, Suit, Nelly combines his St. Louie hip hop slang with many different genres including soul in "Nobody Knows," feturing Anthony Hamilton, one of the best up-and-coming soul artists today, pop, and even a little country in "Over and Over," featuring Tim McGraw. This combination has really made Suit a very enjoyable listen. Suit shows a much softer side of Nelly with its more compelling lyrics and softer beats. For those of you looking for a good alternative to the often-sickening hard-core rap, you should give Suit a listen. |

| Wrong Cd | I ordered this cd thinking that it was the yellow track.. But it wasn't. It said at the bottom of the page that it had 15 songs, but when I got it there were only 13. We tried to get the cd from the othr japan co. that said that they had the yellow version, and they didn't send the right one either o.o |

| I'm cursing at a 10th grade level!!!! Oh wait, I'm 30 | AHHHHHH!!!! AHHHHHHH!!!! BLINK 182. WHEN WILL YOU GROW UP!!!But seriously, this isn't music. Three 30 year old men (or are they older now)stringing random curse words together, or at their best, singing about rebelling against their parents, is sort of pathetic. It's obvious they are targetting a younger crowd. I'll admit, when I was 11, I enjoyed their music, but to even suggest they are a good band is a joke. I wouldn't be surprised to find that they have it in them to create real music, but until they do, don't patronize this band by buying their material. |

| Uh...yuck. | I agree with reviewer "Redbeard". Scott sounded great with Creed, but after hearing him scream through the first song. Then I found myself cringing through the rest because of the off key notes he hit. The only good song was the one he released. It was like the lyrics did not fit with the music. His voice was awesome with Creed, plus he's pretty nice to look at, but a solo artist I think he needs some pointers or new writers. |

| Great For A Bad Movie Night | The movie is great! It's just as bad as I expected to be. But there were parts of the movie that were slightly competent (kind of like a soap opera level performance) that ended up being boring kinda. But that was probably only about a fourth of the movie. The songs and performance were hilarious. Although I diddn't really need to see the main character's butt. He is also the director so maybe he just wants people to see it, I don't know. |

| You've gotta be kidding! | This Rod Stewart album was a joke to begin with. I remember the first time I heard him on the radio and TV commercials doing remakes like These Foolish Things or The Way You Look Tonight, and I'm sitting at home going, "What the..." Anyway you look at it, it's still Rod Stewart, and still going to be Rod Stewart. His voice is too raspy and rough to do stuff like this. The man's got no soul into his music. Where's Stachmo or Ol' Blue Eyes when you need them the most? If you want a Great American Songbook, listen to them. Forget this album! You call this the Great American Songbook? I don't think so! |

| Excellent music from an Excellent band | Noteworthy lyrics, great rhythms, and smooth sound is the definition of Lifehouse. I bought the CD because I liked the song Hanging by a Moment, and it got other good online reviews. Parents, there are not any inappropriate words or subjects whatsoever. On a scale of 1-10, these are my ratings of the songs:Hanging by a Moment-10 Sick Cycle Carousel-10 Unknown-9 Somebody Else's Song-8 Trying-8 Only One-9 Simon-7.5 Cling and Clatter-9 Breathing-9 Quasimodo-8.5 Somewhere in Between-7 Everything-8 Overall, it's a wonderful CD. You could listen to all the songs over and over again and never get tired of it. They are great. I look forward to another album. What are you waiting for? Buy it! |

| A book every pastor should have | One of the best nuts and bolts books a pastor could have in their library. The only book I would add to this is Kotter's "Leading Change" before taking my church down the path of change. Do your homework before leading congregational change, it'll save you time, money, and heart ache. Do yourself a favor and read this book. It is currently out of print (also not currently available through willowcreek.com) so keep your eyes open for a reasonably priced copy, or borrow from a friend. While it is probably worth the $90 that it sometimes goes for here on Amazon.com, I'd suggest you find one to borrow before you drop that kind of money. I also hope they reprint this, and make a few updates sometime in the near future. |

| awful, awful, awful! | My roommate (the baker of the household) owns this book. After making three different pies using Ms. Stewart's recipes, he has sworn off of this book forever. Sure the stuff looks great, but if it tastes like nothing, then what good is that? Her recipes use hard-to-find ingredients, and are not very well seasoned; one squash pie called for ground ginger as the only spice, and it was horrible - kind of like bland soap! Stick with some real cooks - Julia Child comes to mind - or a good basic cookbook, like the Joy of Cooking or The Better Hones and Gardens Cookbook. |

| Rod Stewart is not Sting!!!! | After listening to a few tracks at a big chain bookstore I wanted to tell the staff to please take this garbage off the shelves. Rod Stewart is not Sting. He does not have the tone, phrasing, or style to pull off these beautiful standards. If you want to hear a pop icon singing great standards check out the soundtrack to "Leaving Las Vegas" with Sting and Don Henley. |

| I thought I was going to love this book ... | but I didn't. I got the point, and I think the premise was ingenious, but it was such a wierd and twisted story about dull, self-indulgent, and mean-spirited characters (Oly excepted, mostly) that I just couldn't make myself care about it. I'm no stranger to either the wierd or twisted, but there just wasn't much to like in "Geek Love".Unlike my book group, which hated this book so much that not only didn't read it, they didn't even show up to complain about it (most unlike them), I found it compelling enough to finish. I kept hoping for a flash of wisdom or true beauty, but Dunn didn't deliver.Maybe my expectations were too high. I was sort of hoping that this would be another "Ballad of the Sad Cafe" and it so wasn't. |

| Nelly is the reason why hip-hop is dead. | Along with Chingy,feminem,50,gay unit, t.i., lil flip, faag joe and the terro swack, and others thats basically ruining hip-hop ? Nelly, defenely is one of those fagetz and the day krs one and Nelly had their lil beef i was like " Is Nelly for real? ? Thinkin he could go against krs one ? That was a good laugh... I mean Nelly can't rap and his mediocre when he comes off at his best and he think he can actullie go against ksr one ? Funny. Nelly's "suit" has dumb songs that will prolly appeal to [...] white girls who wish dey had a black men in their life or trl fans who buy anythin that's selling aslong as its trendy and pop as hell. I realy hate the mainstream Its all bout underground music the only mainstream arist that passes to me is snoop dogg, xzibit, mobb deep ,lil wayne,jada kiss, and a few others but other then dat? Keep the underground alive. [...] |

| New Design = New Design Flaw | The lids of these things aren't shaped correctly to match the top of the handle. Because of this, anytime somebody places their thumb on top of the handle while pouring (which seems like the "safe" thing to do), the lid will pop off. Surely, this company has engineers that are capable of recognizing and fixing this flaw. Unfortunately, somebody must have decided it was "good enough" to sell instead of spending the money to correct things. Wish my ~7 year old pitcher hadn't broke- it didn't have this problem. |

| when I listened to this.... | I used to have these terrible nightmares about being back in a Viet Cong P.O.W. camp. They would put bamboo under my fingernails and torture me all day long, I saw many of my friends die there. I was finally released in 1978 and when I came home I found out that my father had died from cancer and my wife was married to my favourite uncle. I recently bought this album and realize it is way worse than any of that. I have something new to wake up in the middle of the night screaming about. |
