The end of the world and Passion

My thoughts: The authors behind this book are Ann Aguirre and Carrie Lofty, and together they have created an apocalyptic world that is going to hell, and they even manage to write in some hot passion while the beasts are howling. Jenna lives in a world that is about to collapse. Europe is silent, parts of the US are silent, while the new government tells people everything is ok and that whatever happened there will not come here. Oh, no they didn't, that is stupid and people pay for their stupidity as horrible dogbeasts attack and kill people and technology fails and stops working. Yes the world ends in blood. But our heroine Jenna gets kidnapped before that happens. She was likeable even if she fought against him a bit too much, but then the world did end. Her kidnapper Mitch is a warrior in the true sense and he owes a debt and therefore he saved her. The chemistry is there at once and they will get to have a few hot moments when they are not fighting beasts. There are also a few others. Little Penny who does not talk and Ange her mother who only wants to protect her. Tru a young kid who matures a lot and Chris a scientist they come across as Jenna wants to save them all. But the best part is of course in my opinion the end of the world. Magic comes back and makes killer beasts, but magic can be good too as they find out. I liked the idea of a world changing from technology back to magic, even if it ends with a big bang. There is also a lot of action and when it ends, well I do wonder if the world can get back on its feet. Conclusion: It was an interesting world and I do want to know what happens and would like to read the next book (takes place 3 years after this one). I would recommend this book to fans of paranormal romance, dystopia and in the end just all of you. Hot passion and action is promised.

Great expectations followed by great disappointment

Started off with great promise and I enjoyed reading about familiar characters, as well as some of the dialogue. However, the great expectations soon started to sink into a lot of bitter (and really, not very amusing or engaging) feuding of an increasing nasty and acrimonious nature. The end was, frankly, a real disappointment. If this is what follow on books to a well loved series descend to, then I don't want to read them, and, in the future, shall not.

These shirts are very comfortable

In addition they are built substantial. No thin see through shirt here. I love the fit. It's perfect size for me and I am a XL. I think they run true to size because I bought 2 at the same time and they both fit basically the same. Great for us curvy girls because they don't cling to the stomach region showing all of your assets. As far as the price it is spot on. You definatley get your money's worth. I'm gonna order some more!

The panda design is too small, I ordered a replacement thinking it was defective as it is a whole inch smaller in circumference than the fox but the second set was also small. Does not fit the head of a 3 year old, buyer beware!

The color and clarity of my prints is just beautiful!

I compared this paper with Kodak brand paper I already had and Canon simply dominates! The color and clarity of my prints is just beautiful!

Great choice for simple footwear

Comfortable, simple, easy on and off. Very good value!

It's beautiful; finely detailed and a nice weight to it

I got this for my desk at work. It's beautiful; finely detailed and a nice weight to it.

Case cover for Kindle

I like this cover. Have never had another so I cannot compare. This one has a few pockets so I can carry a few necessary credit cards or money stash. Allows me to stand the Kindle (hands free) for easier reading.

This is the Perfect Stocking Stuffer For Christmas

This is the coolest toy that I have played with in a long time, and I think that it makes a perfect addition to anyone's stocking stuffer...kids or adults. Think of anything in the world, and this little toy will guess it in 20 (or 25) questions. Will you win sometimes? Sure, it wouldn't be any fun if you didn't, but you will be amazed at just how well this toy can read your mind.

Not a happy little boy

I ordered a yellow toy for my grandson because he wanted a yellow one like my real YXZ. What I got was a blue and white one...There's going to be a disappointed little guy at Christmas

Excellent Form Factor; Nice Sound

I love these speakers. They are easily portable and give off an excellent sound. When purchased you will receive the speakers, an AC adapter, a cord for audio from a standard headphone jack into the JBL On Tour, and a carrying bag. The carrying bag fits the JBL snugly but not the accessory cords. When not in use the black cover that doubles as a stand (the thing to the right of the speakers in the picture), slides easily over the speakers to protect them and shrink the product. In my experience you can get about 2.5-3 hours of listening when on battery power. The unit is small enough (about 7x4 in) to fit in a backpack. I use this outside when doing yardwork, easily loud enough to fill the whole yard or garage. It's great to take along on trips so that I can listen to music in hotel rooms. In summary, the JBL On Tour, because of its better-than-expected sound quality exceeds the expectations I had when purchasing it. I would purchase again in a heartbeat if anything ever happened to mine.

Worth it, click buy-it-now

I bought 1, then 2, then I just bought 2 more to make 4. I also bought a 4-way socket splitter and set these up above a dance-floor in my basement. You CANNOT get a legit lightshow set-up for less than what I paid (4 bulbs x $4 + 4-way-splitter @ $12 = $28), and these are seriously legit. Soooo much better than I though these would be. Just buy a few for the hell of it, they are a blast.

TEOTWAWKI - Beacon's Story

I am not yet finished with this book, but consider it a really good novel with many excellent tips on survival in a grid down situation. Interesting characters, especially Old Bill and Beacon. I have read dozens and dozens of TEOTWAWKI and SHTF books and am a devoted fan of James Wesley, Rawles [...] and hope that his readers and others will avail themselves of this enjoyable and informative novel. Hope to see more from this author, and I have no problem overlooking the few typos.

Beautifully Written but Too Sad and Sometimes Felt Unfinsihed

To start with this is an extremely well written piece. The author can really turn a beautiful phrase. The imagery is very vivid in each of the stories and you really get a sense of "place." The down side to that is that the jump from story to story is very jarring. There are some unifying themes in the stories, but it takes a minute when you start the next one to figure out what's going on. A lot of the stories were also just "middles," and felt out of context. In terms of the subject matter - it is dreary no doubt about that. There is a palpable sadness that runs through the entire book that becomes oppressive.

This is one of the best children's devotional books I have seen

This is one of the best children's devotional books I have seen. My kids enjoy it very much! The teachers at my school are looking forward to using this book too! Thanks to Linda and Time of Grace for this resource to enrich the faith lives of our children! Blessings

Not an online product. Get one from a friend.

I followed directions carefully and it was basically a dead scobie. Sank instead of floated and didn't ferment. Im an experienced kombucha brewer.

Shoes are great, but a little narrow for mi son's feet

Shoes are great, but a little narrow for mi son's feet. If your child has chubby feet maybe order the W size.

Why the color change?

Dominoes are dominoes, no? So why did the manufacturer not just add some additional colors on for the 15 dot dominoes instead of changing so many to bland, unappealing colors? It slows down scoring if you are used to 12 dot, and then change to the 15 dot of different color because your eye gets used to certain dot patters AND the color for the numbers.

Blackberry Bold 9900 Holster

Perfect! High Quality Holster! Bought 2 just in case I lose one.

Fodors: Excellent as Always

What can one say about Fodor's guides to anywhere? They are classic, presented in easy (and surprisingly in depth) formats that make it a snap to plan a trip anywhere in the world. This Costa Rica 2010 volume is no different, and offers some truly incredible insights to this magical, still unspoiled (and very liveable) world. I wish I'd had this guide when I visited Costa Rica a few years back!

nice for biking at night

This is a very bright flashlight, nice for biking at night. However, mine went dead after one year of usage. Update: the company kindly sent me a new one. So far, it is working fine. In general, I am satisfied with this purchase.

Takes Me Back 25 years

Great read! Love the characters. Takes me back 25 years. This is the first book in Tate's words. Love reading the second book in Jared's words as well.

This is a great pocket knife

This is a great pocket knife. Everyone that sees it can't believe how light it is. It is so thin, I have been asked if I had a knife. I pat my pocket and nope, then reach in and it's there. Super sharp and easy to re sharpen. I have bought 3 as gifts. Couldn't be happier.

Great looking shoe but uncomfortable

Great looking shoes but they'll wrinkle easily. They wrinkled on my first wear, I was wearing them for an interview and by the end I wanted to switch to some flip flops. If you want to look good wear these but if you can't bear some uncomfortable shoes then these are not for you. If My size was correct based on trueness to size chart, I would've given them 5 stars.

this works fits in nicely and I really like it

Needed a smaller brush for my travel bag, this works fits in nicely and I really like it.

Doesn't heat properly and gives off scum from clay pot.

I wanted to love this, but it is not a viable product. Many thanks to Amazon for their prompt and cheerful return of it. Here is what happened: I upacked it and washed the clay bowl before testing it. I tested it with plain water. I put it on High and left it to run all day to see what temperature it would run at. It leveled out at a maximum of 160 degrees Fahrenheit, after heating up for about 6 hours on high. This is not "high" by any slow cooker standards. Then I let it cool down and tried the yogurt setting. I started with water at 107 degrees from the tap. For the first two hours the temperature dropped steadily. Then in the third hour it started to make it's way back up but only reached 103.5 after 6 hours. I spoke to the manufacturer who told me that they have designed this to operate at 110 for yogurt. They also told me that both the high and the low setting will bring water to a boil but it takes the low setting twice as long to boil. My unit did not come close. Another (totally separate) problem was also a show stopper. After several hours in the clay pot there was a layer of scum on the surface of the water. So that means every time you cook food in the cooker you will be getting a dose of the clay. Now this is made in china and I believe I read that the clay is actually mined in China. Without expensive testing I don't know if that scum layer contains anything toxic, but I am certainly not going to take the chance. I called Amazon and they were wonderful. It's a bit of an inconvenience to have spent this much time on the purchase, the test and in shipping it back, but Amazon has made it as painless as possible.

Beautiful, affordable and usable Art!

These mugs are truly beautiful. The craftsmanship is lovely. These are the first I have purchased. I have looked at them in various home stores and department stores, but have not gotten them before. When given the opportunity to review them, I decided to give these a try. Having spent some time looking around locally at quite a few locations, I have to say these are the most well made ones I have seen. Beverages stay cold and this is a good thing in the south! I am not a drinker, but any cold drink in these mugs will be better, I assure you. Just to look at, these mugs are very nice. I like the handmade, hammered style. I've always been a fan of hammered jewelry, home accessories, and these mugs are just nice to have on the counter and like pottery are affordable, utilitarian art! I would highly recommend these mugs, as they come in a set, perfect as an engagement or wedding gift, or any gift for that matter! There is nothing negative to say about them. Just don't ever drink anything hot from them - that handle will heat up, and don't ruin them in the dishwasher. You'll love them forever! I received these wonderful mugs at a discount for my honest and unbiased review.

One of the best Hitler books, with rare photos/drawings

The original German-language version of Hitler's Table Talk is a truly outstanding book. There are extremely rare photos of Hitler, his various girlfriends, and many hitherto unpublished drawings made by Hitler. The editing is outstanding. Henry Picker was a young German officer who knew stenography and took down Hitler's Table Talk for a period of four years during World War II. This book was first published in 1951 and has enjoyed many reprints in the intervening years. This edition is by far the best because of the revealing footnotes which leads the reader to other sources. Though Hitler is invariably portrayed as a raving madman in American "docudramas," he could also be a thoroughly charming and intensely charismatic private companion in his off hours. A man capable of seducing 65 million Germans and of his monumental crimes, had to possess an elemental force both inexplicable and fascinating. This book provides some clues to Hitler's personality, though in fairness, his mesmerizing mystique had been dulled by drugs and megalomania by 1941. He was surrounded by sycophants, but there were some perceptive and intelligent people in his milieu, most notably Joseph Goebbels. Hitler's secretaries were also articulate and intelligent ladies. However, his chauffeurs and other aides, such as Linge and Schaub, were hardly junior Einstein's. Hitler's monologues are faithfully presented here and he emerges as a genius in certain areas (his knowledge of architecture and art was encyclopedic), and as a sexist boor in other realms. His believed himself to be omniscient and believed further that he was a messiah selected by Providence to save the German nation. Anyone harboring such delusions is bound to sound arrogant and insufferable on occasion. This is a must have book for anyone interested in Hitler, his entourage, or his paralyzing effect upon other people. It's chilling that Hitler casually discussed trivialities while Europe was being torn asunder because of one man's twisted ideology. If you read German, I can't recommend it highly enough.

Amazon,s Black Licorice Chewing Gum. A lucky find!!

I was thrilled to find a black licorice chewing gum that lives up to its claim of being genuine. It brings me back to my childhood when licorice was my favorite flavor in chewing gum. After all these years of thinking the real thing was no longer available, I stumbled upon Gerrit's. Now I keep an ample supply on hand at all times! It's the best yet!

Pretty good stands for the money

These are pretty good, and will work just fine for your average home theater speakers. i'd like that the L shaped bracket had felt or something that would protect the speaker, but i don't expect it damaging anything

Great read on a colorful, and possibly corrupt, character.

I'd recommend this book to anyone who either was raised, or presently lives, in the area that comprised Congressman Flood's district. It's an easy read.

they really don't save the beer but it was a fun gift for my sister

As far a use, they really don't save the beer but it was a fun gift for my sister. She got a kick out of it. Mission accomplished, pleased with my purchase!

For a kid who loves Giraffes

He's just learning to read too, should be a great book for a beginning reader that loves animals, especially giraffes

Wonderfully emotional.

Great story line. The pacing of the plot was well thought out (sometimes rather predictable) but the actors really brought a sense of honesty.

All-day comfort in a serious track shoe

These are comfortable and stylish, yes, but they're also first-rate driver's shoes. Heel-toe is more comfortable and the shape of the insole makes throttle control easy. Probably don't need the Nomex in my daily commute, but this is a cool, comfy shoe that is the real item as opposed to the Sketcher/Puma/etc. variety of pretend "driving" shoes. And at the same price! Great product.

Share this book with a bride-to-be!

This is my new favorite engagement gift to give. All of the brides-to-be that I have given it to have LOVED it and say they can't put it down! What an amazing resource to help with every aspect of planning the perfect wedding. Mindy's flair and creativity make it fun to read, with all of her wonderful suggestions taken from her endless experience as a top wedding coordinator. I love that she emphasizes that each event should reflect the individual bride and groom so that they feel it's really THEIR Big Day!

Very comfortable and good-looking sandals

Very comfortable and good-looking sandals. You don't even have to break them in. I usually have a very difficult time finding sandals to fit my high arches but these are amazing. I hardly know I am wearing shoes which is the highest compliment I can give to a product.

5 Stars for MASQUE OF THE RED DEATH

MASQUE OF THE RED DEATH, 7th in the series of Corman's Poe pictures, is a lurid, ambitious little masterpiece of low-budget film-making. A taut, intelligent script (by Twilight Zone's Charles Beaumont), splendid medieval sets, clever dialogue and strong acting in the leads (Vincent Price, Hazel Court, and Patrick Magee), makes this film shine. MASQUE has more in common with Bergman's SEVENTH SEAL than, say, another Corman quickie like LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS. Price's Prospero is a delightful Sadeian lord (a much truer picture of this type of character than Geoffrey Rush in the Sade biopic QUILLS). Prospero elaborates his philosophy of satanic cruelty, a pleasure he indulges in with calculating coldness and rationality, to the the young Francesca, a kidnapped peasant girl trying to save her imprisoned brother and father. He and Magee wish to pursue evil and befoul innocence, to tear it from its lofty perch and show it the world as it is: vicious, harsh, unforgiving, the Christian God murdered. Heavy stuff! Yes, there are ideas in this flick, if you wish to look; or, you can just curl up and enjoy a horror classic that's no guilty pleasure. As for PREMATURE BURIAL, well, despite the cool tomb Ray Milland has set up for himself and some creepy, fog-enshrouded moors, it rates only about 2-and-a-half stars. Ah well.

Deserves 12 Stars!!!!

Wow! Who would have believed? The player arrived and after spending 8 minutes connecting it to my television, I began watching all my favorite DVDs which I brought from Germany . Simply plug it in and turn it on. No need for menu settings or region selection. Best of all the picture quality is excellent! In fact this player has allowed me to purchase quite a few excellent DVDs from Amazon.de (Germany) Amazon. DE instantly recognized my account and I am able to take advantage of Prime with no or minimal shipping costs.

Action filled with a reminder of the Da Vinci Code

I didn't like to put it down. Lots of action and most interesting activities and events. Occured around the world at locations I related to. The intrigue reminded me a lot of the Da Vinci Code. The inventions were interesting even though not real. Read the whole series which took some time. On Kindle I wasn't sure how much more there was to go.

A very personal, insightful, and raw memoir of the challenges faced by a top neurosurgeon. Readable but not dumbed-down.

I really liked Dr. Marsh's personal memoir covering his many years of experience as a neurosurgeon. While not overly technical, Dr. Marsh uses proper terminology throughout, making each chapter an exact, focused review of a particular condition, how it affected his patient, and what Dr. March had to do to deal with the problem. I thoroughly enjoyed learning more about the way surgery is done and how many different, and seemingly trivial, factors can make a huge impact in the process. He adds enough background on the different conditions (vascular problems, tumors, degenerative diseases) to be comprehensible to a general public readership but doesn't back away from the specifics. Throughout he is willing to bear his soul and discuss his surgical failures in a straightforward and factual manner. He clearly conveys how surgeons and physicians attempt to instill confidence in their patients but to not make promises which cannot be upheld. A small slip or inadvertent twitch of the hand can end a life or leave a patient irreparably disabled thereafter. He also makes no bones about how increased bureaucracy has made the practice of medicine far more difficult. As a British surgeon, he focuses mainly on the national health service in the UK but also uses his experiences in the Ukraine to illustrate how empty-headed office-holders make it difficult for surgeons and patients. He discretely touts the better conditions at private facilities where the market has more influence. However, as most American physicians and patients probably know, the market cannot fix the problems caused by a huge mass of meddling middle-managers. It is both reassuring and a bit saddening to know that the challenges faced by "do-ers" in these countries are similar.

Excellent vessel for sous vide

Once you have a sous vide circulator, it's only a matter of time before you start wanting to get a little more serious about it. Eventually a stock pot isn't enough, and you need more room for your water bath. This is a great next step. This container is a perfect match for the LIPAVI L10 sous vide rack, and has a corresponding lid (the LIPAVI C10L, sold separately) that helps to keep heat from escaping. This container works well with my Anova precision cooker. Just a note: if, like me, you were maybe hoping to store your Anova in this container, you might want to move up to the next larger LIPAVI container, because this one is definitely too small for that. You can set the Anova inside, but it will not sit fully within the container with the lid on.

My son's favorite toy.

My son loves this dump truck. It is bigger than it looks in the picture. It is very sturdy. My son has been beating on it since his 2nd birthday and it still looks brand new. His younger brother is going to inherit a very sturdy dump truck.

A bunch if gossip,bunches,and hearsay Boring!

This book was not only boring but very poorly written. Filled with typos and misspellings, but worst of all the ridiculously long run on sentences. Most sentences had no less than 25 words in them. By the time I finished a sentence , I could no longer remember what it was supposed to be about. It read like a long,very bad tabloid rumor -mongered story. Most annoying to me was that "I Love Lucy" was written as 7 Love Lucy or / Love Lucy....no reason given, so I'm just assuming this was typos of the worst kind!

but would be better if it held longer string

Installs on Weed Eater OK, but would be better if it held longer string..

One of the most memorable protagonists you'll ever meet

A new novel from John Varley is a cause for celebration, as well as a reminder that it's probably time to get your booster shots renewed--every five or six years is their typical spacing nowadays. The wait is well worth it, however: _Globe_ is thrilling, richly-detailed, inventive, memorable... and occasionally science fiction. Only occasionally. Even though it's set in John Varley's universe, where one's body is as easy to change as one's makeup, and humans live almost everywhere in the solar system because they were kicked off the Earth, this book is much less involved with the ramifications and repercussions of nifty technologies than some of his previous stories and novels are. Instead, Globe is more concerned with characters. Most of them are the main character. Kenneth Valentine, alias K.C., alias Sparky, alias Dodger, alias Carson Dyle, alias Eustace McGargle, is one of the more memorable figures you're ever likely to find in science fiction, an actor/businessman/actor/con-artist/actor, and _Globe_ is a tale of the Stage Life. From frantic backstage disaster-recovery to stupid omnipotent studio heads, the book shows off the extremes encountered in the life of a star of stage and screen. There's a fair number of future features tossed in for verisimilitude, but most of this book could have been a work of regular old fiction, a journey told in flashbacks and side-jaunts leading to Sparky's Performance of a Lifetime. Along the way, we encounter the Bank Examiner swindle, the ghost of Jimmy Stewart, a formidable hit man from a planet of psychopaths, and the most enviable piece of furniture since Terry Pratchett's Luggage. It's a fantastic story, and one that's over much too soon--in fact, too soon for its own good. The last hundred pages feel rushed, as if an editor were holding Varley to a page limit (or, more likely, as if Varley was bound and determined to get this book finished and published and out of his In Progress pile already... maybe he realized he was approaching his next vaccination appointment). Still, what's here is wonderful enough to ease regrets over what is missing. Highly recommended.

Awesome release of the Mozart Clarinet Concerto

This recording features the legendary late clarinetist Harold Wright performing the following works: 3 pieces from Opus 83, by Max Bruch; Fairy Tales Opus 132, by Robert Schumann; Elegy for Clarinet and Piano, by Ferruccio Busoni; Contrasts by Bela Bartok; and the Clarinet Concerto K.622 by Mozart. The recording is worth buying for the Mozart alone; the slow movement has such depth it puts any other recording of this piece I have heard to shame. In a word, it's timeless. All the works here are superlative; the only issue I can identify is the sound quality of the Busoni, which is not up to the same standards as the other selections. The compensation for this is the extreme ethereal beauty of the piece. I highly recommend this recording.

Good for small to medium dog; best for those over 2

This one did not last as long as most of other toys I have bought from Quaker. They spoiled me with the dragon and sasquash toy, which apparently is indestructible. legs and wings were gong pretty fast. Body and head holding up pretty well.

Love the pocket for the knife on the right side

These pants have held up even with wearing them 5 days a week for almost two years. They just now started getting a hole in the knee area, but that's only on the top layer. Love the pocket for the knife on the right side. These things are durable as heck.

This product really works, so nice to see who is at your door, 24-7. Love the alerts and feel good about answering the door, or not, at any time of the day or night.

This is a excellent set. Was able to get irrigate the vegetable garden in a few hours. Now we are enjoying the vegetables.

A nice little set for the money

This is a good little set for teaching a small child to follow schematic instructions and build something specific. The cowboy station is cute. The bright plastic roof and door contrast nicely with the real wood logs. Watching 5-year-old Logan carefully set in the door was very sweet. He also loved the little horse and the cowboy that clips onto it. He locked the horse inside the station and had it kick its way out to join the cowboy. He enjoys knocking things down after he builds them. Luckily, Lincoln Logs are a lot easier to pick up after than Legos. The tough cardboard box the logs come in works well as a covered storage bin. This set is a good value. Makes a good starter set of Lincoln Logs, so you can judge if the child enjoys this kind of thing without a big investment. But if you're pretty sure you have an avid little builder in the family, I'd suggest investing in the 172-piece set of Lincoln Logs that can be used to make multiple structures. That's what I did originally, and Logan just uses his imagination to put up all sorts of buildings with it. The Horseshoe Inn is a nice extra for him.

Looks nice, Little slim

Very nicely built and lite weight. If the overall width was just a few more inches wide four of the now standard size @ 2.5in wide phones would fit. As is the two edge areas are too narrow. At least an inch too narrow to fit our S2s. We still fit four S2s leaning in the edge slots and overlapping one another in the center area. I could not find a better priced wooden charging station at the time of purchase. Would not hesitate to buy again but would like one a few inches wider.

Got a bunch of Husband Points

All I can say is my wife really loved it. It is fantastically soft and warm. She is a little short, but this robe fit her perfectly. A little longer than it would be for most people but she likes that because it keeps the drafts away.

Great read!! Couldn't put it down!

Spectre Rising is a great and easy read. The author keeps you on the edge of your seat and excited to turn to the next page. Every chapter keeps your interest and pulls you into the story deeper and deeper. I couldn't put it down once I started reading!! Cant wait for the rest of the series to come out!!

VIVO Monitor Mount hits a home run!

Boy... I can't even begin to explain to you how good this thing is. First of all I must say that this the mount freed my desk and I have so much more desk space so I can organize my stuff better. My primary concern before buying this is the stability of it especially judging from the product image where it shows that 90 degree layout. Once I opened the packages and start putting it together all those thoughts just went away. The vivo mount is actually extremely sturdy. it's holding my 22" monitor with ease and would absolutely hold much more than just that. The only flaw that I see is that the tilt adjustment is adjusted by a wrench. You use the wretch to actually adjust the resistance of the joint, and so it might get a little tricky if yore one of those people who like to keep making small adjustments. Height adjustment is the same story and requires a tool. But for the price that would be asking a bit too much. Other than that everything works perfectly and it's actually quite well thought out and engineered. I also like how it comes with the cable clamps to keep things neat and tidy. Absolutely a 5 star product and I will definitely buy again.

Hysterical, Eye Opening, Great Read

A humorous look at the nightlife industry from an interesting perspective. A true industry expert who's seen "IT ALL".

Easy and Delicious!!!

I just got it in the mail and immediately put eight bags in two quarts of filtered cold water. Left it in the fridge for about 3 hours and then sweetened with Stevia and it is delicious. I could have taken it out at about 30 minutes but I wanted it strong. We will be buying the other flavors!!! So raspberry and delicious. I know we are going to go thru two pitchers a day!! Bring back the lemon flavor!!!

Vivid and as described

It looks exactly like the picture with colors as vivid. I use this inside so I can't attest to its ability to withstand the elements.

First time MP3 player user/buyer

I have never bought/operated an MP3 player before so I can't offer any comments on comparing it to any other MP3 players. But as someone who is new to MP3 ownership what I can say is that it is very easy to operate. Within 30 mintues I had everything registered with Rhapsody's To Go subscription and was able to listen to music on the player. It is very user friendly, very budget friendly, and very attractive as well. I researched a lot of players before purchasing one and I came very close to buying an IPod Nano. I am not disappointed with my decision to buy the Sansa Fuze instead. In fact, so far the only thing I don't like about it is that it does not come with an adapter to charge the player with outside of hooking it to the computer. All in all though I am sold and I am planning to buy a second one for myself (this one being for my husband).

These containers with the strainers built in are terrific. I use them for pickles

These containers with the strainers built in are terrific. I use them for pickles, olives, peppers, and other similar foods. The little clip is built in to hold the strainer up in the container for easier serving. Excellent item.

Loved Loved Loved this book!

I usually only read non-fiction. My brain kind of works that way, or maybe I've been trained to read only things that are "useful." So...when I got this book, I figured I'd give it a try, but I didn't have high expectations, as I just can't stay with fictional stories very long. Boy, was I wrong! I read the entire thing in one setting, then kind of looked around and said, "Where am I?" It was SO good - it really caught me up into a different world and carried me away. Very highly recommend.

Small Package Alot of space

Great product. I put mine on my keys and it goes with me everywhere. Much smaller than any other flash drive so its not even noticeable on my keyring. I've had it on my keys for a month and its still as good as new. Very solid and has a nice snug fit in the USB slot. For the price you cant beat it. Get One! you'll like it

very good quality, warm jacket

Pay attention to sizing, jacket run small other than that it is a great, very good quality, warm jacket for great price! The customer service is outstanding! Very nice people! No problem to return the item!

Distributor Clamp Wrench

There are some tools that are especially made for a job. This is one of them. You may only need this once in five years but when you do its a lifesaver. Bright Chrome and perfect angles is what makes this wrench the right tool for the job.

Exactly what you would expect. They are nice.

Simply plastic containers with sealable lids. I purchased these to store board game components. They work well for this purpose.

Worked awesome on 2 week old bugs on my Harley

This stuff rocks! Worked awesome on 2 week old bugs on my Harley, easy and quick way to clean up the bike before and after a ride

Pretty good for the price.

I've been using this for about 9 month now and it is not a bad timer for the price. Its easy to use and does what it suppose to do. It is a little quiet but i can still hear it every time.

Good for small maintaince projects

Drain he battery then charge... After full charge cut down 6 9 foot tall bushes some branches 3 to 4 inches in diameter ran about an hour before battery ran down... Overall exactly what I was looking for.... Used vegetable oil instead of chain oil... Manual chain oiler is sub par only complaint.

ITEM RECEIVED WAS NOT AS PICTURED. THERE ARE NO HOLES IN THESE COVERS TO SECURE THEM TO THE BRACKETS

parts fit but the burner covers DID NOT HAVE THE HOLES TO SECURE THEM TO THE TABS OF THE BURNER BRACKETS AS PICTURED. THERE WERE NO HOLES SO THE COVERS JUST KIND OF BALANCE ON THE BRACKETS. WAS NOT AS ADVERTISED BUT WILL SUFFICE

Stop reading reviews and read this book.

One of the funniest and well written books I have read in a long time!!! Be ready to laugh the whole way through.

Onward Christian Soldiers (especially those who play a little football on the side)!

I wouldn't have purchased this book if I hadn't been interested in what Tim Tebow has to say about his life. He's a hardworking, interesting young man who always comes across as personable and genuine in interviews, and I always admired his performance on the football field, so....I bought his book. I don't expect a lot from ghostwritten sports autobiographies, but whatever I was expecting is absent from this book. It moves along at a decent pace and there are some pretty interesting nuggets early on (about the family dog, etc), but there's not much else that I couldn't have found on Wikipedia.

Suttle and Subversive

This is an easy to read book, containing interesting stories and illustrations. Unfortunately it plays the evangelical card - "we are good Christians who believe the Bible - therefore you should trust our easy and simple methods." Alas, to the unsuspecting reader this evaluation of the end times is riddled with cleverly disguised dispensational presuppositions. It also includes misrepresentations of conflicting viewpoints - encouraging the reader not to examine the evidence for themselves but to take LaHaye's word for it. Frankly LaHaye though an entertaining writer has set himself up suttley in the same way as medieval Roman Catholicism. "To question me is to question God" And no-one wants to do that.

Performed as expected, reasonably priced.

I'm 5'8', 130lbs and I ordered these shorts in a size Medium. While they did look like they wouldn't even fit a toddler upon removing them from the package, the material has quite a bit of "stretch and give" without cutting into my skin. I tried these shorts out on a 3 mile run and was surprisingly satisfied with their performance, as they did not ride up/roll up my leg or down my stomach. I would definitely recommend these shorts to anyone searching for an affordable workout base-layer.

Works great. Good value.

Great binding. Crisp multi-directional release when you need it. Looks good too.

Fit right but stretch out quickly.

First, these fit perfectly and were very comfortable to stand in for lengths of time, which I need. However, after just a few weeks wear, they stretch out significantly and makes tripping easy. Skechers brand needs to do better.

Spot on with the nursing details with a suitable amount of tension as the situation escalates beyond their control.

I'm a nurse, coincidentally working night shift so I could really relate to this book. In fact I'd even heard of the pillow game. Tontine game we call it, so it was all very convincing and even possible. it starts when new nurse Christine Wilder starts night shift. She's just out of college so not overly experienced. The night nurses play a prank on her - ie that when they're bored they smother a patient just so they can call a code and resuscitate him. the mean to tell her the truth in the morning but get busy and forget. to their horror, Christine actually goes and does it on a quiet night and they don't find out about it until the patient is resuscitated and they're back at the nurses station. Outrage turns to panic as they realize that this act of stupidity could cost them their jobs. The pt survived so they agree to cover it up, until the nurses on night shift start dying - horribly. Its a good book. If you are a nurse you can relate to this, if not, it will put you off going into hospital. :-)

Everybody loves these nobs!

Everybody loves these nobs! I did shorten the length of the screws but that was in the item description. Beautiful, sturdy with a bit if install time. I will be buying more of these too!

Good thick leather, nicely stitched wallet.

Love this wallet. 1/2 the thickness of my old and other than money, it's easy to use and nice to be able to front-pocket it.

Good price for a decent unlocked GSM phone

Good price for a decent unlocked GSM phone. Exactly what was needed for an extended European trip. Delivery was swift. Everything was intact.

The knob was not the knob designed for my washer ...

The knob was not the knob designed for my washer it is too small. According to the model # I gave it was wrong.

Wonderful jacket, just fits big

I liked this jacket but had to return it. I'm usually a medium and sometimes can fit into a small snugly, but this was enormous. Even a small would have been bigger than I liked.

Pleasant anime romantic comedy

A friend of mine introduced me to anime, and knowing that I hated ultra-violent series that are so popular amongst anime fans, recommended Ah! My Goddess instead. The series starts off incredibly slowly - the very first episode is entirely Keichii-centric. The pace picks up a little when Belldandy shows up. But the series really begins to take off when Belldandy's sisters - Urd and Skuld show up. It's about then that the series settles into a familiar formula - Urd tries to persuade Keichii to put the moves on Belldandy, Skuld tries to stop them, hilarity (and numerous explosions) ensues. It's a simplistic formula, but the characters have so much charm to them that it actually works very well. I have some minor caveats, which I think are particularly relevant to new viewers. Firstly, the series does take awhile to get up to speed and establish the characters, so be patient because the multi-episode wait is worth it. Secondly, for those used to female protaganists like Buffy Sommers, Belldandy is a major throwback to the 1950's. The character of Belldandy is most successful when she is interacting with other characters - particularly Urd and Skuld. When the focus was on Belldandy herself, the pace slowed down for me somewhat. Apart from that, this is a reasonably good series.

A toddler-proof DVD Player

This DVD player has an excellent value-to-price relationship. It does what I wanted it to do: play DVDs; and it does it very well. Even more, it is toddler-resistant. For about six months my 23-months old son has tested the tray by pulling it in and out (like a spring) infinite numbers of times just with his fingers. However, once it is completely closed he can not do that anymore. Also he has inserted dvds upside down, mis-centered, half-disc in half out with tray almost closed, and many other combinations that only an exploring attitude child can do, and still the DVd player continue to play DVDs like always. All the other basic functions work well, like changing TV channels, switch to external video/audio inputs, play music as a normal CDplayer and MP3 player, etc. I would recomend the Sony DVP-SR2000P/B dvd player if your are locking for an unexpensive option to play your dvds back.

Excellant Quality And Ease of Use

I purchased the Sony DRX830UL/T External DVD burner after reading reviews and comtemplating what I wanted from a burner. I know I wanted a combination of quality, ease of use and the ability of utilizing different formats in reading, burning DVD's and of course CD copies. This machine for me offers all that plus tools I've not even explored yet. It's also complimentary to the limited space I have on my desk standing vertically between my tower and my monitor. It's attractive in looks and simply a very practical product. I find it's quite fast in burning also. In addition; where I've had problems playing a DVD on my home theater due to perhaps scratches and flaws on the DVD, this machine seems to over-ride those problems and I have with satisfaction been able to enjoy a movie without any problem.

great for long bike rides, but they melt if you carry them in your jersey pocket

I used to eat Clif Bars and PowerBars on my long bike rides (about one bar per hour on rides longer than 2 hours). Now I eat Honey Stinger. Honey Stinger is easier for me to chew and digest. Honey Stinger is more expensive than the competition, though. One big problem with the Honey Stinger bars is that they melt into a sticky mess if you put them in your jersey pocket. I need to keep them in my saddle bag to keep them edible, which is a big problem for people who like to pull out a bar and eat without stopping.

In agreement with the other poor reviews, unreliable

In agreement with the other poor reviews, unreliable, switches off. In mid wo In agreement with the other reviewers, works unreliably ,stops in mid sentence, I get better results using my finger Tip or give away stylus pens.it tracks poorly, turns on awkwardly due to where the power button resides, and generally is a major expensive disappointment. Compounding the injury is Evernotes hyping of this inferior products as the next best thing.
