| I can't recommend "Live at the Greek" | I wanted to love this concert as much as I loved everything else Josh Groban has done. I bought all the previous CD's and his first concert DVD/CD combo. But after watching this concert on PBS this past month, I was just too shocked to even think of buying it.Josh Groban's singing was very poor. His voice sounded sick practically from the beginning. This concert had all the trappings of a Rock concert too, but without much real excitement generated from its star.If it weren't for Lucia Micarelli, I probably wouldn't have much positive to say at all. She was truly spectacular!However, Josh Groban needs to go back to the drawing board. Hopefully the next time he releases a concert DVD it's when he actually sounds good. |

| What the hell, GMAC? | Haven't taken the GMAT yet, but I have to review this book because it kind of sucks and it's frustrating. I have found more than several misprints, and just some weird information in there that just isn't right. I bought this because I wanted at least a feel for what I am going to be up against when I take the actual GMAT, but I can't believe how there are misprints and inaccuracies in this book. How will people be truly prepared, if that's the case?!The math review is helpful, but there is little to no advice when it comes to the sections regarding data sufficiency and sentence correction. One of the tips for sentence correction just tells you to read! Books, newspaper, whatever, because they generally use correct grammar. What?! Seriously, GMAC?I use the problems in this book for drill, in tandem with the Princeton Review books for strategies. I think that's the best way to go. I sure hope the 12th edition has improved on the misprints and whatnot... buyer beware! |

| Why Didn't I Have This 35 Years Ago? | I honestly believe that if I had had this book on my bookcase when I was cutting my teeth on chord-changes I would be a better musician today. It would have streamlined the process and allowed me time to practise other things.I learned to play changes the way most of us do: running scales & arpeggios over the progression and then 8th note, continuous lines, then finally improvising.A tried and true method, but long and labour intensive.This book presents a formula of sorts, and, without getting bogged down in theory, gets the job done quicker, just as thoroughly.If for you, like for me, making the changes is one of your biggest jazz challenges, then you will never regret buying this book. It has helped me enormously. And my students.Buying this book was one of my better decisions. |

| Not as good as it looks | The earpiece does not stay in my ear at all (guess I have small ears). I have to use the extra piece that goes over your ear, which gets my hair caught in it.The sound quality is ok, but when you answer a call with the headset or transfer a call to it, the person on the other end hears a loud squeal.I also thought the USB charger would have the small USB connection, but instead it has a unique plug on one end and USB on the other.I will be looking for something new. |

| Power of imagination | Gee. I've had this on my shelf for over two years! I finally got to it this summer. It started slowly for me. At first I didn't think I would like it. Gradually, as I read more and more, I began to love these kids. Camping on their own deserted island. Cooking their own foods. Fishing. Battling "pirates". Do kids these days still do things like this? I'm especially curious about whether kids would like this book.All I know is that I did. Don't give up on it too soon. It's a book that reminds you of the power of the imagination. I can only hope that kids all over the world are still being Swallows and Amazons. |

| Forced "humor"--buy Enema of the State instead | This album sounds like Blink 182 thought they had to be funny and they really forced jokes. ...these don't seem natural at all. Enema did a much better job of it. Along the same lines, most of the deliveries are pretty uninspired. There are 2 songs on the album I like, the rest are pretty forgettable. |

| Very fine "quest" tale | Some reviewers unaccountably didn't like this book, comparing it negatively to the other two in the "Merlin" trilogy of Mary Stewart. I thought it was excellent. It's just about as good as the thrilling first one--and better than the third.But they are all good novels, worth reading and rereading. And while you're at it, read her 4th Arthurian book, although it's not of the Merlin series, THE WICKED DAY, which takes Arthur and Mordred through to the end. |

| My "Greek" is defective (?) too | Sadly I had to return my "Greek" concert DVD too. I don't want to chance another until the company fixes the issues. There's so many complaints I think they would address it by now, especially for those who bought theirs at a store that doesn't provide refunds. I can't give this a high rating because I got one of the DVD's that has Josh sounding nasaly. Since I can only do one review this is the one. I'm disappointed in what I hear and Warner Bros hasn't issued a public announcement about it, so I will just rate the DVD. Whether Josh Groban is really nasal or it's a defective DVD is up to them to determine, not me. |

| high maintainance, heavy, low suction for the price. | My first problem with this product is its 24-cyclone part (located at the top of the machine). When you want to clean it you have to wash it. The problem is that you cannot use the machine if that part is wet and it does not dry for days once you wash it. The reason is that it is so tightly built the water left inside evaporates very very slowly. Basically, this is a high maintainance machine. It says on its ad "Advanced cyclonic no loss of suction technology". Well, I am willing to trade this technology with emptying the dust cup more frequently if it requires that much maintainance.Second, it is very heavy. I do not mind it but my girlfriend really hate to use it and everytime she complains about it.Third, I don't think that its suction is very good, especially for this price. |

| started leaking about after 7 uses. | the first one I bought a few years ago seemed to be of better quality. I only had this one less than 6 months and only used it about 7 times total and it started leaking and had to be thrown away. I would not recommend this to anyone if you plan to use it for what its meant to be used for. Now your thinking .. how much does the person weight that was using it. I weight 135. |

| Josh Groban's Greek Concert | I could hardly bear to watch Josh Groban's "Live at the Greek" concert when it was on PBS for free. I'm certainly not going to pay money to buy a DVD of it for $25.00. I've read a few of the reviews here and they're pretty much on track with what I thought too. Groban was okay in some songs but nasaly and strained in many others. His voice and appearance were poor. It seems that the PBS recording of one of his concerts was an afterthought and slapped together deal. At the end of our PBS stations showing, they made an announcement that Groban would be performing his concert in our nearby city. If that had been said for his first concert, I would have gladly bought a ticket. With this concert I won't even buy a disc. Now that Groban has dumbed-down to suit the concert audience, I can move on. When Groban first started I was thrilled that I had someone with a lovely voice that I could actually listen to. No longer. Seeing the man that he has become, I'm just sadly moving on. |

| Perfect Collection | Don Williams is an all-time fave of mine in any music category and this is a great collection of his best songs. He's a thoughtful country singer, he's got something on his mind and his songs are deceptively simple. But they stay with you. And he is still the only country singer to ever put Hank Williams and Tennessee Williams together in a lyric line.Williams is a keeper and he sounds like an old friend when he's singing, not like a buckaroo. |

Check out my scores:Kaplan (first try): 530Powerprep 1: 600Powerprep 2: 590Powerprep 3: 610Actual GMAT score: 670 (88th percentile)This book is GREAT practice, as the problems are all old GMAT problems. Keep in mind that the HARD problems are in the last 100 questions of each section. The easy ones are in the first couple hundred, and might waste your time.This book has answer explanations, but NO tips or tricks. Definitely use this book along with the Kaplan and/or Princeton review books. The tips and tricks are what help you solve the tricky problems in the limited time available. |

| Classic Ludlum style cold war stuff. Thoroughly enjoyable | Ludlum gets it as far as war espionage stories are concerned. The Parsifal Mosaic is one of his better pieces of work. Pace...well, it's super fast paced and hard to put down much like most of his work (barring the new Covert Ones which are a disaster and not written by him anyway). Cold war, uranium, love interest thrown in, unexpected twists along the way, great read! |

| Total Disaster | The Philips Compact DVD Player turned out to be a total disaster. It worked for all of one day, after which the laser burnt out and the player was unusable. Since I had made modifications of the region code to make it "multi-region," based on what I thought was legitimate advice from other users, Philips said it was no longer under warranty. |

| made in China and it shows | Not at zero when bought, no adjustment to zero gauge. So I would assume it's reading is also off.10/28/2012, after spending some time with it after my review, I discovered that in the light well, you put pressure on the "ring" inside it and adjust the needle's zero position. It now reads zero at power off and displays what I expected to see on my boost (5-7 PSI on my SLK230 Kompressor). It was a -3 at power off when bought, now at 0.I'll upgrade my rating from 1 star to 2 stars, based on quality control, which seems to be lacking.The back-lighting is mild, which I like quite well at that low level. |

| A great addition to your precious CD Collection | I bought the Lifehouse Album "No Name Face" all thanks to a good friend of mine. And it wasnt because of their hit "Hanging by a Moment" which is a good song but radio stations always do a good job of playing things out. Anyway, she made me listen to "Somewhere in Between" and that same afternoon I got it. This is one of those albums that you dont need to press the Skip button because you dont like one or two songs. Also, its an album that can stop listening to and I dont get tired of hearing it everyday. The lyrics are deep but give you space to have your own interpetaion of them. If you're into Pop or Rock or both this album is perfect for you. If you're into Soul Searching Songs, this album is perfect. Hopefully you'll get this Cd and tell you're friends and family to help Lifehouse become one of the greatest bands ever. Trust me you won't regret it and it will help you in any problems you've got. ... |

| One of the best I've ever read. | This is an exceptional book. I've read it a half a dozen times since I bought it and loaned it to friends. Everyone has loved it! The love story is poignant and the charactors are spectacular! You are on an emotional roller coaster when you read this book, and you'll enjoy every minute of it. Sharon Sala (Dinah McCall) just gets better and better with every book. I can't wait for the next one. |

| Boring.... | I am dumbfounded at the number of people giving this incarnation of Dr Who good reviews. I've watched Dr. Who since I was a kid in the 70's. Most recently, I loved both Christopher and David as the Dr. (David Tennant is my fellow sci-fi friends and my favorite)This new Dr is so boring and bland I could barely stand to watch. Even the stories are dull and lack any real humor. We all tried to get into this new incarnation and none of my group can find something to like. I would say to anyone reading reviews before buying; Watch a few episodes first and decide for yourself. I guess it's all very subjective. But if you ask this Sci-fi fanatic, the newest Dr Who sucks and falls WAY flat of filling any of the previous Doctor's shoes. |

Everyone into Fantasy Books, should give them a read! |

| Just my Opinion | I've watched the "Greek" concert three times now. It's so painful to say that Josh Groban can do anything less than GREAT, but this is much less than what I've come to expect. Nobody is perfect but when I spend my money on music nowadays, I spend it cautiously. I am a fan and will stay that way. |

| very good, just short of fantastic | as with the previous recordings of Mahler symphonies by the SFSO and MTT, i really like this recording. the sound and playing is very good, as always with this orchestra. i give it 4 stars only because i am comparing it to the Royal Concertgebouw under Chailly recording, also an SACD. listening to this recording alone, i would say it is great, but in comparison to the Chailly recording, this disc is just missing something. it does not feel as dramatic, as explosive, as depressing as the Chailly recording. if for some reason you have a qualm with Chailly, than i would suggest this recording over all others. |

| Brilliant, underrated show. | I just finished getting through the episodes on this DVD set, and it still spoke to me even though I'm 30 now and not living the life of a smart, sarcastic teenager anymore. I think Daria might be the greatest teenage female character to have graced our TV screens. Angela Chase had a shot, but got too pathetic over Jordan Catalano.If you are looking at this listing because you watched the show, buy this DVD set. I so enjoyed watching all of the episodes and know that I'll watch them again. |

| Oh Rod - what fool talked you into making this album | It is very sad when a person who does something quite well decides he can do everything well. This is the case with this album. Rod cannot sing these type of songs. The album should be destroyed before everyone learns the truth - he has a terrible voice. When he sang rock and roll songs it wasn't important. When he sings these old classics, it is. |

| Not worth the time | I read the reviews on this site and based off of those reviews I bought the series. The series itself has mahor flaws in ir. these include a boring and extremely cold main character, for which you never really warm up to, a lack luster and out right boring plot and less than steller combat scenes as well patheric enemies. The one good part was that the voiceacting was spot on and the other characters were thankfully far more interesting. |

| Works well - deet free - but a bit short on staying power | My family and I have used this product in SE Alaska for roughly 5 years. I like that it has no DEET, and is still pretty effective. You may have to apply frequently in heavy conditions, but for most evenings around the yard/camping - a single covering will last several hours. We will continue to buy this product.We have heavy insect conditions up here, including no-see-ums, black flies, mosquitoes and white socks (which are vile biting creatures). This stuff has kept all of them from biting in most conditions (river fishing, camping, claming, playing on the beach or in the yard, hunting, etc.,) Although the bugs still buzz you, they do not bite for a while.Once, in a very heavy black fly and no-see-um attack (large swarms of bugs), I had to apply about every 45 minutes or so, but I was also sweating while working up fish, and getting lots of fish slime on me, whiping sweat (and product) from my brow... |

| Want to like it but Can't | After all the QOTSA talk about how they're the band "that just might save rock n roll" I thought I'd give it a try. Well if I were rock n roll and drowning and QOTSA were the lifegaurds I'd suck in a big mouthfull of water and head for the bottom. The album has no merit its very forgettable. I found the album loud ( wich is usually a must) but on this album there is no groove with the noise. My advice to you is that you borrow a friends copy and save yourself the money. |

| tree | This book was very good. I thought that who ever wrote this book has a very creative mind. This book is very interesting I think that this is the best book that I ever read. I think that the person who wrote this book wrote it quickly because I read it slowly or maybe I read to quickly. This book was better than another book on rainforests. If I was able to recommend this book I would recommend this well written book to little children because they are our future. |

| Not good for larger hamsters! | This product is good quality and fits in the Crittertrail cages very well. However! My hamster is a boy and a bit on the larger side and NEVER went up in the lookout tower. There's not much area in the little dome for them to sleep. Perhaps if I had a smaller hamster, he would have enjoyed it. |

| You eatin off rap and I hope you choke on the gimmick | If you let you daughter listen to this trash, as parents you might as well pimp her out yourself. Khia has found a new low to sink to in order to sell her wack records. This album is ultra wack. Do you have any respect for yourself or any desire to actually make some decent music? I don't think so. With this chick it is all about getting the money and telling everyone how she likes to have sex. Then to top it all off she claims to be a gangster. Come on!!!!!! She would be a great porn star. Look at the album cover with her on all fours!!!!! LOL |

| More Bland Than Cream Potatoes | If you're idea of excitement is staring at the floor, this album's for you. Put this CD on and you may find yourself so overwhelmed with adventure that you'll be staring at the walls as well.If you enjoy Rod Stewart's voice, or hard rock and roll, Rod's first four solo albums and his four with the Faces are pretty much essential.If you enjoy the kind of songs presented here, you'd be far better off listening to the greats, like Crosby, Sinatra, Cole, Holliday, Streisand , etc., etc., etc. Louis Armstrong may not have been a great singer, but he had more character in his little toe than this recording.Hey, most small town orchestras are more adventureous than this. Dentist office music is less obtrusive.Hope I'm not being too harsh, but I just can't find any reason whatsoever to recommend this album (or any of it's five follow-ups). Wait a minute - these albums are professionally performed, recorded, produced, and marketed. That's positive - right? |

| Now I understand web services, .NET, SOAP, ... | I've been hearing about SOAP and XML-RPC and .NET and interop and web services for months now, but I didn't *really* know what any of it was. Now I do. This book is GREAT! Simple, down-to-earth, intelligent coverage of SOAP, WSDL, UDDI, XML-RPC, web services, .NET, competing technologies, and some more. Lots of code samples and complete explanation of the code. It focuses on what precisely SOAP is, how it works, where and when to use it.I read Livingston's Essential XML book, and I hoped this book would be as good. It is. As Homer Simpson says, Nine thumbs up (the one where he was a food critic)! |

| The quest to detect planets orbiting other stars | The book provides a delightful account of the quest to detect planets orbiting other stars. The author details his journey across the globe to interview the key people involved (Marcy, Mayor, etc.), and reveals the behind-the-scenes politics and obstacles they endured: e.g., Mayor's famed 1995 study published in Nature characterizing the presence of a Jupiter-mass companion to the solar-type star 51 Pegasi ([...]) was rejected by one of the referee's, etc.The book was an enjoyable read and provided a valuable perspective. I certainly look forward to reading more from this author. |

| Kindle edition...Too many typos | An ok book, starts out a bit slow, but moves along after about a quarter of the way in.My justification for 2 stars is the kindle book is full of typos. You can tell where 'replace all' was used.... Yon for you, etc. it really messes up the reading flow particularly when a sentence ends with 'the'. Sometime the poor editing leads one to wonder it the author's intended word is accurate or if the crossover from hardcopy to soft introduced the error, especially when some of the words/ phrases are a bit archaic (at least in the 201Xs). |

| A Disgrace!! | People, it just doesn't get any lower than this. This woman not only shames herself, but she helps spread a very negative image of black women around the world. She has terrible rapping skills, cheap production and nasty lyrics that only talk about getting laid and paid and how people hate on her. Whatever!! Avoid this cd at all costs. The cover alone should be reasons not to buy this cd. |

| Josh Groban's "Greek" Concert | This DVD/CD set is probably (and I hope it is) as bad as it can get for Josh Groban. His voice is awful and so is the filming of this mess. At least I got mine at a second-hand CD store. Now I know why it was only 3 bucks. It was torture listening to that voice. |

| worst female rapper since feminem | I dont know where to start with khia!

| Works For Me! | I needed a power stripe behind our small bookcase, and this one works fine. I liked its closed plug hole feature... not sure what it is really called, but where the blades of a plug would go into the unit, it has a dust cover built inside it. I thought that was a good feature since many times a stripe will lay on the floor with the sockets exposed to dust. |

It does not go into details on his inventions, but does mention many of them, and the battles he had to go through with others at that time, and how most of his work was ahead of his time, and disregarded at that time.Well worth the price. |

| Oh heck no....music has just taken a complete U-Turn.... | ...for the worst. It's no wonder Jay-Z is retiring. After trash like this? C'mon now, did anybody tell her she actually had talent? After hearing that awful song "My Neck, My Back" last summer, how can that song be even worth consideration? Let alone a full CD. People, there is good talent out there, it's not mostly mainstream (and it's a shame it's not) and radio and TV sure aren't gonna show it. This is not good music.She's not even one-hit wonder creditable. And if she's able to sustain other album.....eh, let's just say I hope not. I pray not.The album cover pretty much speaks for itself. Stay away from this poor act. |

| good player | Good player. fact that you can't open the drawer with the remote is kind of annoying but the only reason you are going to open the drawer is to switch out the dvd in there with another one and for that you need to get up and go over there anyway so it is really a moot point. Bought this item at Best buy for $40 about a year ago. Bought it because it said "plays for sure" on the box. I play mostly dvd-r's so I wanted something that would play as many old, chewed up or discs burned on my computer. It played so many discs that my old mitsubishi and my philips hd player would buzz, click and freeze up on that I bought a second one for my girlfriends bedroom when she needed a new one. |

| Great movie. | I really wasn't sure about buying this. You know, there were no particular known actors and quite frankly I don't trust prequels or sequels. BUT, this is one taut movie. The writing is excellent, and contrary to some of the other reviewers there are no areas of loose plot. I love the monster. It really shows the influence of HP Lovecraft on modern film. The creepiest part concerns the female Norwegian doctor. I loved the short story, loved the original, loved Carpenter's remake and love this one. It is great the way they took great pains to make sure the 1982 film segued into this one. People say the movie leaves us hanging, but I don't agree with that. We wouldn't be here if she hadn't reached safety. By the way, I stick by this review, even though some people seem to hate the movie. I truly enjoyed it and heartily recommend it. |

| Great water, stab-worthy pitcher design | Nice, fresh tasting water. However, the non-fitting lid and leaky pour spout makes me want to stab myself for not taking it back for a refund the day after purchase. 5 stars for taste, negative 3 stars for pitcher design for a 1-star average. |

| great insight into life in 20's and 30's | The book does an excellent job is describing everyday live of people during this ERA. The author does a great job of segmenting the population by location ans social status. The text lives up to the title. |

| Horrible. Simply horrible. | Rod Stewart does not have the vocal ability to sing these types of songs. His voice is too raspy and rock-and-roll to properly capture their grace and beauty. I respect Stewart as a pop singer, but if you have any sense of respect for the past greats who have truly done justice to the classics, avoid this album like the plague. |

| Shameful | I'm a big American standard fan and a big Rod Stewart fan. But I have to say this is a deadly combination. Not only Rod's voice is so not fitting for this genre, but also Rod is just going through motions without emotions. His flat voice just couldn't carry these rich and melodic songs. |

| Bonnie Raitt and Friends | Was very disappointed in the CD. Had just seen her in concert - felt like her show was an exact repeat of this CD - could have stayed home and felt like I had seen the show. Was a purchase I could have done without. |

| This cd was great!!! | When I heard that Rod Stewart was singing old standards, I was not too interested, but yet had to buy it! Love Rod and love the old standards. As soon as I heard him singing, I HAD to dance! I just loved the way he did them in his own way. Made me think of the saying "dance like there is nobody watching", and that is exactly how I felt when I heard him sing these old standards. I'm still listening a lot, and when I hear him, I'm dancing too. I'm glad you made this cd, Rod. It's one of my favorites!!! |

| This is the best! | No ifs, ands or (none housebroken) butts ... this is the best dog training book I've ever seen. It did take me more than 21 days (more like 42 days). However, considering my earlier training attempts fell on deaf ears (I thought dogs have really good hearing) ... I am thrilled. The best ten bucks I've ever spent. Get this book ... from amazon, the library or a friend. These guys really know howw to train dogs. Or actually they know how to train layman to train dogs! |

| Worked Great for a month or so | I liked the concept of these. But after a month, they came off. I tried using super glue - that worked for a few weeks but they're falling off again.I think the only way they're going to stay up if they're screwed in. |

| Worst vacuum ever | Claims that it is simple to use and requires no filters, but is heavy and difficult to push across a carpeted floor, and does require one type of filter replacement.Filtration system consists of a foam chunk, which you remove to clean. You save money by not having to buy new filters, but now have to hand wash the foam and wait 24 hours for complete drying before using it again.Capacity of dirt holding cylinder is incredibly small. Only allows for about a square 10 foot section worth of floor to be vacuumed, then needs to be dumped out.You have to disassemble the dirt holding chamber to empty it, and then fit it back together in puzzle fashion.The claim that it is "designed for pet lovers for superior pet hair clean-up," is utter nonsense. Runway style rows of dirt and hair are left behind after a pass over an area.It does not provide any benefits towards removing pet hair, and was a total waste of my time and money, so I wouldn't recommend this product to anyone. |

| "It's bad to be true" | Can anyone really take this album seriously? There are so many wonderful singers, (and not just the dead ones) out there who can move you to laughter and tears with these same songs. Rod moves you to throw your CD player out the window and lock it behind you quickly. It's nice to see a revival of swing/standards music lately with new artists like Norah Jones etc on the scene, but Rod Stewart? I guess if he introduces these songs to a "new" audience, then that's great, but otherwise it's an embarressment to the genre. The less of these CDs in circulation, the better. |

| Fantastic! | "This is the best CD I have ever listened to! I cant get enough of it! I am a huge punk rock and hard core rock fan, and I never thought I would like a cd of this genre, but it is one of the only ones I put in my cd player! It has a great message, and it's really fun to listen to. Lead singer Jason Wade has the most outstanding vocals of anyone I have ever heard. I give this album 5 stars. All of the songs are great, but my personal favorites are "Hanging By a Moment", "Only One", "Breathing", and "Sick Sycle Carouselle." |

| Leave the crooning to Tony Bennett | Rod Stewart goes Harry Connick Jr. on a set of big band standards from the 40's and 50's. What's next, Rod Stewart sings a tribute to Andrew Lloyd Webber? An album of duets with Andrea Bocelli? A man once so self-conscious about his voice he stood with his back to the audience now feels compelled to lend his unique vocal stylings to the "Great American Songbook"? The world needs another version of "They Can't Take That Away From Me" like Michael Jackson needs another nose job. Congratulations, Rod, you are officially irrelevant. |

| wish they would stop. | This series has been beat to death. Just let it go guys...move onto something worthy of your talents. On the flip side, at this point some of the actors are actually improving. So, it's been worthwhile for a few careers perhaps. I suspect if they got hold of a fresh new script things would be awesome. This particular edition had a few slapstick (no pun) moments, but the script was poorly written. Just not worth the time and effort that obviously went into filming it. Sorry guys. Move onto something new. Stop wasting your time on this story line. |

| It's no wonder it's the best album of the 80's | In a sea of watered down kiddie pop and even more diluted "hair metal" this album stands as the pinnacle to a very fruitful and successful career for U2. Every artist at that time wished they could have sounded like this and many bands afterwards have tried.The enhanced sound of the gold cd is noticeable, but I would have to say that just owning the "regular" cd in your collection would complete it. If you don't have it, get it. Now. |

| Daria Deserves to be on DVD | Daria was my reason for watching MTV. No other representation has ever come so close to my outlook on life. In fact I was fine tuned and improved by the wit of Daria. As frightening as that is I am far from alone in my humor, pc incorrectness and yet lofty demand for intelligent thought and expression. Please put the entire series on DVD once and for all. You might be surprised just how many of us there are and how successful we have become. We are a limited group, but we make enough and are loyal enough to Daria to put out the money for the series.Do we have to live in a contrite world that accepts dark events with guilty pleasure; while rejecting the humor, wit and the finger that points right back at us as having a role in the lunacies of life? Daria takes us to task like no other before or since with an endearing arrogance. |

| A must read.................... | This story takes place in Europe after WWII, we find our main subject trapped in a prison/work camp for members of society that spoke out against the new government. Our young man is taken prisoner for what his father does and spends his very young years growing up in one of these camps. The movie centers around his friendship with another man in the camp, his escape, his experiances in camp and the outside world. The story is beautiful, and there are many twists and turns to capture the readers attention. However the story does end abruptly, as if the writer was interrupted. Overall, it was very good, my whole family enjoyed it. |

| People actullie like this ? | Wow, I heard this album on the wall while it was just being release in the store and i laugh at how bad this guys truly are and these kids think paparoach has talent ? As if korn,staind,puddle of mudd (nirvana rip-off),flaw,slipknot,linking park , the new terrible sell out sounds of metallica,avril, are bad enaugh we also have paparoach.I mean, this just makes me wonder--how more worse can mainstream music, actullie get ? It's just sad that kids rather listing to this then to play real music from the heart! PPl actullie gave this 5 starts...I think they were just being nice. Don't buy it unless you like to listin to poison that these kids call music. |
