boring & pretentious crap!

This book is a sure snooze-fest. Luckily for me I did not have to read the entire book for my undergrad art history photo class. We read selected chapters of the book.They writing was horrible. Many parts were unclear. I had to reread what I read over and over. I can't stand this style of writing. Barthes attempts to come off as interesting and intelligent. Instead, he comes off as boring and pretentious.Skip this book... try something else.

negative

Too basic

The book title is misleading. I thought it would be comprehensive, including scales, chords etc. However, too much of the book is devoted to extremely basic guitar questions, ie how to tune, clean and hold your guitar. Not enough material about playing the guitar.

Shippped Cart. that dosn't work

This stinks! I ordered this "Lexmark #32 / #33 Twin Pack ink Cartridges (18C0532)" from Amazon / Ship it Depot Inc. in August and made sure they were the correct numbers when I got them. They did come in a zip lock bag, not the box pictured, but the numbers on the foil packaging are correct. However, today when I tried to install the color #33 cart., the printer tells me that it is the "incorrect cartridge". It looks identical to the one in the printer (that works) but it does not. My guess is this has a different country code on it and it will not work on my Lexmark x7170 in the US. Guess what, the return time has expired so I am now out of luck. If anybody can help, I would appreciate it. Based on this, I cannot recommend ordering any printer cartridges from Amazon.

Great way to utilize entire power strip receptacles

These cables give you a great way to use every outlet on a power strip even when using cords with those black transformers that are big that block open outlets. The plugs on these cables are normal size and allow you to plug one right next to the another one on the power strip. Some of the liberator cables also have a second outlet on top giving you even more places to plug in your electronic devices. I would recommend everyone to purchase these cables. They are reliable and way cheaper then having to buy a second power strip so all of your electronic equipment is plugged in.

WOW to Movie

The 2 dvd was well worth the money. I loved the movie and the extra cd is a great addition. You get to see the history of the book, behind the scenes, and interviews with the actors. This is just what I was looking for.

positive

A remarkable work

I have been fortunate enough to find copies of Volumes 2 and 3, but volumes 1 and 4 are nowhere to be found. Even the ancient copies of V.1,4 that I once found at the public library have disappeared. I've tried to contact the publisher, but I got no response. This is a tragedy, as these books belong in the hands of everyone who loves the study of Northern Mythology ( and who doesn't! ). I agree with the other reviewers. A reprint is long, long overdue.

Great series

Not your Grandpas B&D

I have a newer model string trimmer - one without the recall. Today was the 3rd time I used it. It broke. The motor runs, but the spool & line does not. I, like others, bought B&D because it WAS a name I respected. After finding the closest repair center is a 100 miles away, I am going to spend half the cost of the trimmer to send it for repairs. (Warranty doesn't cover shipping.) If you go to the B&D website you can see that B&D makes DeWalt and Stanley. If they have gone to making disposable equipment, you may want to avoid their other products.

Worth Reading!

I liked several things about this book. The author presents many of the most common reasoning mistakes that people make. He also writes intelligently and critically about the arguments of others without attacking them personally. And he shares information that he's gained by being on the "front line" in arguments with creationists, deniers of the Holocaust, and others. This book did not come from "Ivory Tower" mental gymnastics. Shermer keeps the book interesting.I was disappointed with the book's lack of breadth. The title belies the book's content. Much of it focuses on creationism and the denial of the Holocaust. I hope that Shermer follows this one with a book that addresses a wider variety of topics.Overall, I enjoyed reading this book.

Great Baby Monitor

Pros- No annoying hiss- Clear audio transmission- 1.9 GHz DECT 6.0 Technology won't interfere with Wi-Fi or other DECT 6.0 phones, and it's encrypted so your neighbors don't overhear you (or vice-versa)- "Sensitivity" setting allows parents to get a little shut-eye by not transmitting every little peep the baby makes. When the baby cries you still hear it at full volume, but the quiet stuff doesn't get transmitted at all. There are 5 levels to choose from.- Shows temperature of the baby's room on both units.Cons- Expensive, but performs as advertised.- Only one parent unit, though it is lightweight and has both a lanyard to hang around your neck or belt-clip to easily take it around the house with you.

positive

Save your money

I couldn't wait to get this book. It sounded like a great story of adventure across several continents. After the first chapter I deeply regreted my purchase. What had great potential turned out to be two guys boasting about their popularity and how it was going to be difficult being celebrities. Maybe it's just me, but I wouldn't know them at all, despite their numerous references to the movies they've been in. I thought I was getting a book about the challenges of travel abroad and pictures of these places. What I got was a book with too many pictures of the authors, weak stories of the places they stayed in and the food they ate.

Best PC Magainze - just wish they'd make a kindle-only edition

I've been a reader for over 4 years, and their magazine is simply the best PC magazine available. The only downside is that they use a service like coverleaf for their digital version, which is so behind the times they offer no Android app, and they offer no digital-only subscriptions. I'm no 'tree-hugger' but I prefer to cut down on paper and clutter, and cut down on the stuff I end up throwing in the trash. I have an Android tablet on which I read a lot of things now, and I'd love to be able to subscribe to Maximum PC in a digital-only version, but it appears that is not something that is available. For a magazine that is cutting-edge, you'd think they'd have it available. The lack of a digital-only subscription is the only reason I give it 4 out of 5 stars. Content of the magazine and the website are both great, so they get HUGE points for that. If they had a digital only subscription I'd certainly give it 5-stars.

positive

It's a Dramatization and the reviews are of something else, caution

Just bought all three parts of the LOTR trilogy on CD. The reviews talked about how it was read by someone and it wasn't different actors or voices, etc. However, it is exactly that different actors reading the parts. It is not a person reading the book to you. I'm going to listen to it and then either sell it or gift it but I am very disappointed. Amazon needs to be careful in lumping together reviews of products that once existed with new ones and with different formats, etc. This is not acceptable.

negative

Not satisfied

Overall, the cable does it job, but the constant sound drops/pops you hear while listening to music is irritating. I know none of you wouldn't want to be listening to music then all of a sudden you hear a small disturbance in your music. It's just really irritating because it doesn't stop. These cables look like Belkin replicas so be careful when purchasing them.

negative

A bit dim, but all right

Not a bad looking little clock radio. I bought it for use on top of the TV, and for that use, the numbers are a little dim, but still readable. It would be nice if Sony had a switch to adjust the brightness. If there's one there, I haven't found it. The clock radio comes in with the time pre-programmed for Eastern Time Zone. The time zone can be changed through the time setup procedure, and fortunately, so can the time. It makes little sense to me for this clock to be programmed at the factory with the incorrect time -- mine was a couple of minutes off, and had to be adjusted. Perhaps for those people who can't figure out how to program the time, that is a nice feature, as long as they live in the Eastern Time Zone. For the rest of us, the pre-programmed time doesn't make a whole lot of sense, although it shaves a minute or so off the setup time if the clock is running behind time.

Brel en Public Olympia 1964

The joy of the audience and the power of Brel's voice combine to create a sense of being in the theatre while Jaques Brel performs the songs on this album/cd. The pain of "Amsterdam", the pathos of "Les Timides", the irony and satire of "Les Toros" and "Les Bourgeois" are all made more powerful by the desire and love given to Brel by the audience; and Brel responds. If you have only listened to Brel's studio productions then you have not listened to the Jaques Brel that grew to international fame as an observer of humanity, its foibles and its greatness. In this performance you truly come to understand why Jaques Brel may be considered one of the finest writer/performers of the 20th century.

positive

No Hoop, hardware

Product arrived in time for me to take on vacation; however, it is only the netting. NO HOOP or hanging hardware. The ad for this is misleading. I would never have purchased this w/o the hoop. I could have bought the mosquito net for far cheaper where I'm going. Won't do business with this vendor again.

DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY

This review is by a 42-year-old well-educated woman, married to the same man for almost 16 years. Three kids and a dog. Why did I buy the book? Because my husband and I don't know everything.Kim and Mark act as though they discovered sex.The book tells us explicitly what Kim likes Mark to do to her, and how long it takes.Amazing that a publisher would invest in this. (I am certain that it was only because of Kim's fame.)How embarrassing for Kim and her husband! (And their families!)My advice if you want to learn how to have GREAT sex: (1) read the kama sutra and/or romance novels (Really! Millions of women love these books for a reason. I recommend the authors Jane Feather and J.D. Robb (the Eve and Roark series: HOT, HOT, HOT!) for starters -- just read the sex parts if you don't like the rest of the book; and the Red Sage Publishing series) and (2) practice with your spouse. A lot.

Challenging But Effective

I was a little surprised at how challening the workouts on the DVD were, until I realized that there are multiple options and tons of variety. A full workout is very tough and I would probably only recommend that for intermediates or advance. Overall the workouts push you hard and do their best to stimulate actual class work. Defintely recommend for those that want a results driven workouts.

YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!

AFTER ONLY TWO MONTHS, MY HUSBANDS WEDDING BAND LOOKS VERY DULL. ALMOST GREEN. THERE IS NO SHINE WHATSOEVER AND IT LOOKS LIKE A CHEAP PIECE OF METAL. I AM SO EMBARRASSED THAT I GAVE IT TO MY HUSBAND ON OUR WEDDING DAY WHICH WAS SO BEAUTIFUL. I WILL HAVE TO HAVE IT RE PLATED OR SOMETHING, BECAUSE IT LOOKS UGLY. SO MY ADVISE IS SPEND A BIT MORE MONEY IF YOU WANT THAT "GOLD" LOOK TO REMAIN BEAUTIFUL AND SHINY LIKE NEW.

Simple, elegant, and it works!

After a week of researching all the bluetooth car kit options; I decided to go with the simple approach. The HF-33W has a small foot print, simple design yet very functional(three buttons), and complements my car's interior nicely (07 MS3). After about month of use, I find the noise suppression/echo canceling technology works great and the 2watt speakers is sufficient at max volume with windows open or radio on. Also, no complaints from others during calls. So far it has paired automatically with my phone (LG vx9900 and Moto V710) %100 of the time in about 2 seconds. In addition it works great with turn by turn voice navigation via phone GPS feature. It automatically turns on/off/pairs with the cars ignition (depends on car model).

positive

A great read!

I am very careful about what I choose to read. I have a busy career and want to spend my home time relaxing. This book was a melody of feelings and scenes from all of our youths. The main character experiences sadness and joy and a love that he must keep private. The scenes from his home are sensitive and warm. There are many clever lines and turns in this work. The sub-plots were cleverly interwoven . As an English teacher, I constantly looked for good Canadian writers- Henaut makes the grade.

positive

very scary

It is almost midnight on a school night and my daughter is camping out on the floor of our bedroom... still not asleep. After complaining about a scary book her first grade teacher read to her today I checked it out online and found this haunting cover looking back at me. I know you should not judge a book by its cover but i think an exception must be made for this book. And apparently i am not alone in this thought. It may be OK for some kids but i think this book and the whole concept of someone's skin turning into stripes is just too much. Especially for little 6 year old girls who have school the next day!

Excellent Finish and nice look for my car

I bought this for my 03 525i and it really changed the way my car look. It is the best thing I changed for my car. Finish is very nice and it is only a week so far from the installed date. So it is very early to confirm the life of the finish.

Shine it up real nice but don't read it

The Rock is a great deal better in person than in print. Perhaps this should have been a book on tape. Even still, the Rock at only 27 years old doesn't have a great deal to tell. Even though he's a 3rd generation star, and possibly the biggest star in the biz, there are no real tales of suffering in the wrestling business and getting screwed over like Mick Foley's book. It's a nice souvenir to have but the book is basically a white wash with the Rock often in character and little to no inside information or stories.

You can't go back to Kansas

In July 1975 Noel Edmonds, the breakfast DJ on National Radio 1 here in the UK, made " July, You're a Woman " his record of the week. It didn't make it a chart topper,but it did make me go out and by this album. I virtually wore out my vinyl copy over the next 23 years and replaced it with CD at the end of 1998. I have played this album in one format or another every week since 1975 and never tired of it. I just wish I'd been there...Classic songs that are nostalgic without becoming dated and that still make me think new things, even after all these years. For me John Stewart is the greatest of the American singer songwriters and this album is one of his best. Listen, marvel and then explore the rest of his oeuvre.

My review isn't long. I loved this movie! It was hilarious. If you're not accustomed to various accents then I would suggest you put the subtitles on because the dialog is laugh out loud funny.

Aerosmith's Best Album

TOYS IN THE ATTIC is Aerosmith's best album ever, and the one that broke them through to national prominence. "Sweet Emotion" and "Walk This Way" were the hits, but the best song is the fast-rocking title track. Any serious fan of hard rock and heavy metal should own this one.

Izone 310

I recently got an Izone 310 for Christmas. At first, the pictures came out dark. If I turned on the flash, it came out white. But today, I called technical support because the e-mail support wasn't working. They said the flash has a range of 6-9 feet, and any closer than that would be washed out. If you want the picture to be closer, use the zoom.

positive

Bad novel, worse editing

The story is fairly typical, but the dialogue is stilted and unbelievable. There are few surprises, and the characters are forced down your throat with ham-handed attempts at empathic situations which end up making you indifferent to their fates.Also, this book was edited by an illiterate person. There are numerous misspellings and the grammar in several parts is extremely sloppy.

negative

Absolutely sublime

This is quite possibly Lucinda Williams finest recorded work to date. I have no option but to award five well deserved stars. The songs and production are certainly not as immediately impressive as Car Wheels or World Without Tears. However, what we have is a superbly crafted and subtly understated work that rewards repeated listening through masterful and poetic use of lyrics, heatbreaking vocal expression, and near-perfect arrangements. It is wonderfully successful on all levels. There are no weak tracks, and I invariably listen to all 11 without skipping. The title track is a favourite; one of the sexiest things I've ever heard.

positive

PS3 Charging Station

Although definitely not a game, I have found this to be a pretty cool product. It helps alleviate some of the clutter in the area where I have my PS3 setup. I have 4 controllers so that I can play multi-player games with my kids, friends and other family members. The Charging Station allows me to stack two of them in vertical style in no more space than a regular controller, but I can also connect another UBS cable so I can charge another controller as well. That way I can continue to rotate controllers when I play single player games.

positive

Not a good design

The iRock's sound quality is on par for most of these FM transmitters, they all sound bad. I was aware of the sound limitations when I bought the iRock, my big issue is the design and placement of the power button. It is set up in such a way if you put it in your glove box (or just about anywhere) you can guarantee something will press the power button and run down the batteries. Very frustrating. The iRock also limits you to only four station radio choices, 88.1, 88.3 etc. Since I live in Boston, a fairly large city with many, many colleges, those frequency are being used. So the iRock is useless for me when I am downtown. As soon as I get out of the city I'm fine. There has to be a better unit out there.

Simply Beautiful

I had originally seen this DVD on PBS so I knew exactly what I was getting. I was enchanted with this DVD. Having seen the original theater production, I feel this version contains all the highlights and then some. It has proven a wonderful introduction to this kind of theater for my two grandsons, ages 12 and 9. The segment at the end showing many of the original cast members is thrilling to watch. The camaraderie and love shared is outstanding.

Flimsy, Bad Wood

Overall a poor piece of furniture.The exposed wood is as it appears: very nice. Our cherry finish matched the cherry finish of our crib (a Da Vinci product as well, and one I'm very pleased with).However, buyer beware. This piece of furniture contains lots of particle board and cheap pine. So not only will you have a difficult time putting it together, you might not get it put together at all. The pieces of wood we received for the drawers are terrible--black spots and cracks abounded. And only two cam bolts hold in the front of the drawers, hardly enough support for these pieces. Because the holes were poorly drilled and the cam locks were bad, I couldn't get two of the three drawers properly assembled. I had to use wood glue just to attach the front. I shouldn't have to do that for $250+.

The Greatest Praise and Worship of All Times

When I first heard the song "Praise is What I Do" on the 97.1 FM here in Atlanta, GA ...one morning before I got up to go to work. I was stunned. I had never heard such a Praise and Worship song like this before.....I purchase the Double CD and to find the that the entire CD's were terrific....When I listen to this CD I feel as though I am being "Blessed" at the same time. I listen to it in my car as I'm driving to and from work or just my everyday cares. People in other vehicles can see that I am praising the LORD...and they try to find it on their radio stations...but nonetheless it is a CD...and it is just marvelous.

Musings on a broken-spined hardcover

My copy is nearing 25 yrs old and shows the wear and tear of living in backpacks, suitcases, briefcases and brown paper bags. This compendium of 6 different books of Service's work will take you from his Gold Rush Days of the Yukon, to his escape to the Bohemian Quarter in Paris to become a 'Serious Poet', and to his volunteering to become an ambulance driver for the Red Cross in the First World War. His ballads are remarkable in how they take you deeply into the the person's life for that brief time as you read. There is the lighthearted comedy he is known for with "The Cremation of Sam McGee", as well as the first person accounts of the unimaginable horrors and uplifting glories of battle in the trenches. Service wrote for the everyday working man, in everything he is utterly approachable and unpretentious. I will confess, as does he, this is "lowbrow stuff", but it is mighty satisfying.

My Favorite CD!

I don't know if it's possible to have an all time favorite CD, probably because there's always something better from Michael that comes along, but I love this CD! I think it's going to get warped from being in my car CD player all the time. If you're looking for a great album with positive uplifting lyrics and fantastic melodies that make you feel like rocking, this is the CD to get! I first heard "Place in This World" on AC radio and was introduced to CCM music, and have been a fan since. The new songs on this album are great. "Do You Dream of Me" has to be one of my favorites MWS songs. The only problem I have with the album is they forgot to add "Somebody Love Me" and "For You". I just want the CD to be longer, but it still ranks up in my top five of all time favorites albums.

Needed repair right out of the box, needed more after one use

When we set up the screen house for the first time, one of the legs didn't work properly. The button inside the leg that pops out to click into the safety catch was bent, and would not release. We fished it out and made a small field repair on it and got it to work OK. Then, when we were taking down the structure, one of the metal braces that scissor between the legs forming the sides to the house broke into two pieces. We ended up sending it back. Frustrated and disappointed.

Grim,puerile fantasy

What a pity that so talented a writer reaches so deep into his imagination and comes up with only crumbs of credible narrative.

don't waste your money

This was just like any other cheap novel. I'm glad I got it at Goodwill because I would have been upset if I had spent more than a couple of quarters on it.The story line was weak and disjointed. The story started off interestingly enough, but it quickly plunged into mediocrity. And if you're a Roman Catholic, the "history" of the saints will just rub you the wrong way.I don't want to waste any more time writing about how bland and boring this book was. I HAD to finish it to see if it would redeem itself, but it didn't.

Extremely Cheap Quality!!!

The horn was delivered bent (bought from BikeWorldUSA) on the Flare and the Chrome was flaking along the length of the horn. The hardware to connect the horn to the bike is very very low quality and does not allow you to lock in the direction of the horn securely. Just pay the extra $5-10 at your local bike shop for a higher quality one. I am.

Warranty?

This product lasted 14 months for me and had been suitable for my purposes.After 14 months, it just died.The manufacturer has a 2 year warranty and provides no address in the product information; instead it instructs the buyer to contact the "dealer."Amazon, from whom I bought this product, refers the buyer to the 3rd party seller who only accepts returns for 90 days. Tried "googling" this company's contact information and I got an address in Korea.Metronomes are electronically rather simple and this product should have lasted much longer. This may have been a defective device. However, the product gets one star because of essentially leaving me without a way to use the warranty.

Buyer beware-- too good to be true

I bought this tricycle for my son, who is almost three. He loves it, but it is a hazard for him to ride. The front wheel is not attached securely, and the plastic part that holds it together is either defective or poorly designed. I am writing a letter to the company complaining. Also, the plastic white part of the front wheel falls off whenever we hit a small bump in the sidewalk. If the price seems too good to be true, it really is-- save your money for better quality.

Available for Free on Web

The publishers have found a unique way to make money - they take something that was produced by the government, slap a price on it and ship it out. If I had done more careful research, I would have realized that this product was available on the web at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory web site. In fact, an updated version is available for download.The work itself provides a general overview of various technologies, along with the developments and projections as to how that technology might be deployed in the future. It may be influenced by the priorities of the administration in power - this version gives a lot of play to the "hydrogen economy" that the administration is pushing.

Rip off

This DVD and the two companion DVD's were a complete rip off. $14.95 each and they were only ten minutes each!! No where did I see that in the description of them.

Thanks God, one of my friend of mine has bought this CD and I had a chance to listen to it. It saved my money. Flat, boring, monotonous, grey...Bruce's solo albums are much more better. Honestly speaking, I've never been the group fan and always supposed it is "shade of Deep Purple", literally, though some albums were really good crafted. But this album just is shade of Iron's classical albums. I've mentioned I'm not die-hard fan, but couple of my friends are, and they've got the same opinion: the "brand new world" is so terrible that we'd rather stay in our good old one!

Worthless

Only good part was fast shipping. There was already rap music on the memory so I assume it was someone else's return. Took over an hour with sandisk representative (thanks Skype) to figure out how to download. Battery lasts very short time, cheesy build, sound is 7/10th and bottom keeps falling off.

What took me so long......LOVE IT!

I just love these products. Black and Decker has come out with one of the most revolutionary products. Its the best of both worlds. I purchased the Black and Decker Cordless Weed Feeder one month before this item. I would recommend them to anyone. You will not be disappointed. No cord, instant start, plenty of power to go thru any and all of my bushes. Keep on inventing these great products. Anyone reading this and is interested in buying one of the Cordless products....DO IT. You will be glad you did.

Nice graphics, few choices

The graphics are great but the limited track and repetitive route lead to a quick loss in interest. The great graphics and driving "feeling" are soon not enough to hold your interest. Also, there is no option to steer with either the thumb controller or the arrow pad, you are forced to the thumb controller which I do not prefer.

Just what he wanted

My son is just starting to read chapterbooks and Loves this Series!!! The books are good quality paperback.

Rubbish

I like her other books, but this one was ridiculous. I know there was supposed to be a message behind it, about feminism and Christianity, which could be true. But the rest of it, where is that coming from? It's just like some bargain basement historical romance.

Should have been titled Nosedive

This is a really bad movie. Steve Guttenberg is a good comedic actor but does not appear to know how to play a serious role. He wears a tortured look on his face even before things go awry. The plot is routine and predictable. Sean Bean is the only bright spot as a bad guy but is not in the movie long enough to save it. Don't waste your time.

Disappointed

While Road Fools 12 is an amazing video, I am disappointed that I was not warned prior to my purchasing this product that it was an "e-movie" or whatever it's called. I never would have bought it had I realized that it was not available in DVD format. I don't like the idea of sitting at the computer watching this entire video, and none of the devices I own are included in Amazon's list of compatible devices that will allow me to watch this on my TV. Furthermore, there is a "no refund" policy on these "e-movies," so I am stuck with this $15 video that I have yet to, and probably never will, watch in its entirety. This is the first negative experience I have had with Amazon and I hope they will either change their refund policies or add a warning to these kinds of videos in the future.

Satisfied

Lardo's Folly

Being a loyal follower of the McNally series, this one makes me miss Mr. Sanders even more. For the first time I struggled through an Archie adventure, not hanging on every word for a clever delivery, but hanging on until I reached the end. The beloved, well developed characters that Mr. Sanders brought to life on the pages of his novels have lost their zest. The chemistry and sizzle between Archie & Connie have fizzled. The Pettibones take a back-seat, as do the Olson's. We can only hope the series continues.....with a different ghost writer or Mr. Lardo tries a little harder to regain the Sanders' touch.

Apple always the best (FOR MAKING MONEY)

Just as other customers already said, very simple: After short time the little scroll ball gets erratic and stops scrolling.Why? Obviously because dust gets inside and then makes it malfunction. Unlike all NONApple mouses, here YOU CANNOT remove it and clean it or wash it with soap. Therefore, once it starts working erratically, you can simply throw away you Mighty Cra.. Mouse. Thanks Apple.

LP needs to redesign their bags' closures

This is an OK bag, but like many of Lowepro's bags/packs, the zippers are awkward and stiff to use. Bought it for a new Lumix LX-5, which fits very well. But the main compartment sits back toward the belt clip (which is nicely designed), so you have to struggle a bit to unzip and extract the camera. I may return it and go with a case logic or some case that's easier to get in and out of. This has plenty of padding, so much that it adds a lot of bulk. I like protecting my camera, but this is a compact point and shoot, so making it bulky defeats the purpose. Too many of LPs products seem to be better for storage of the camera equipment rather than using it.

Over Hyped

I was very anxious to try out this game since I have a love for RPG's and read great things online about it. I bought this years ago when i was trying to find good RPG's for the Xbox 360 and only Oblivion was around. Although this game was a good concept, I could not get over the horrible dialog. It was not synced up with the characters lips, as well as not being spoken fluently. Very choppy and alien sounding. Also, there were a few other things i could get over with the game play. I could not read any thing from the menu because the type was so small. I tried this for about an hour and gave up. I ended up trading it for store credit at Game Stop.

Richard Scarry's Best Big Storybook

I sent this book to my grandson for Christmas. My daughter was very happy to see it as she had one when she was little. It is a book to read to and share a nice few moments with your child or grandchild. Richard Scarry was always a favorite with my kids. His stories are funny and engaging for many ages. A great book.

Great product

I needed an adapter for my stereo system, this works Great and I did not have to spend much at all!

perfect pocket

I love this pocket knife. The blade shape is much wider than a pen knife, looking slightly sinister. The stainless and rosewood are a beautiful combination that is not out of place in any setting, including prepping a nice bottle of wine. I love this little knife enough to be on Amazon.com looking to replace the one that someone liked enough to swipe from me!

Poor quality

Bungee cord ripped first time I used it. I will never buy this product again. Wish it came with reinforced cord but it came with very thin and delicate cord.

Augustine is great!

Saint Augustine is spiritual, philosophical and always profound.Warning: Likely to blow your mind.

American history from an interesting point of view...

This is 20th cetury American history from a rather socialistic point of view. Howard Zinn is an incredible thinker and a fairly accecable writer who presumes to write on behalf of the suffering masses. He is clear in his bias as a supporter of oppresssed minorities and leftist causes. He is also a staunch pacifist, which is interesting given his status as a WWII millitary pilot.Whatever your political affiliation, I would still buy this book as long as U.S. History of your interest. He will enhance or profoundly challenge your interpretations.I even know a history teacher who is very politically conservative, who uses Zinn's book in class as a balance to his own opposite bias. He doesn't agree with much of what Zinn says, but regards his arguments as cogent, clear and always interesting.

A Real Fun Game.

This game is for the whole family. Me and the kids love it. I highly recommend this game to people who enjoy showing their kids the fact of LIFE.

A poor use of DVD; a poor print of a primarily visual movie

The DVD edition of Dune was poor, even if compared to VHS. The video should have been cleaned up, the audio is not Dolby 5.1, and the additional material is superficial. Also, there is no addition of unused footage despite the many versions of the movie Dune available on laserdisk.

negative

Funny book

The book alternates between unintentional humor and tedium. Tedium when the characters are sitting around earnestly explaining their endtimes theology to each other. Hysterically funny when people are being hypnotized and the so-called "prophecies" are being "fulfilled" in such a predictably lame fashion...and the UN moves to...BABYLON! Whoa, dude. What a mess. Please remember. This is not theology. It is particularly silly fiction. All of this rapture/millenarianism, etc...stuff is a very late development in Christian thinking, and is held by a very small minority of Christians worldwide. This literary and spiritual garbage does NOT define Christianity.

STOP! Buy a REAL ITALIAN ONE, Not this knockoff!!

I bought one of these "BonJour" models thinking I was getting the same thing as those I used while studying in Italy. The quality of these asian knockoffs are nowhere near that of the real thing (aside from the rough manufacture, the steam pressure valve broke on mine after three uses, making it useless.)- Check out the Bialetti models on other Amazon pages. World Market also carries a real Italian model from another maker.

Excellent Security

This little gadget was recommended by a co-worker. My fiance and I went out and bought it that day. I must say, this is the best piece of equipment. It is a must have for anyone with a home network and is using cable or DSL internet connections. There is no need to get extra IP addresses. This little box serves as a firewall, a DHCP server and a router all in one. I just tested my level of security and this machine makes us completely invisible. It's almost like we don't exist to the outside world!!If you want a home network and are using cable or dsl, this is a must have.

A throwaway item

My dentist highly recommended this toothbrush to massage my gums. It took some getting used to because of the high-speed vibrations that tickle the gums. My teeth felt smooth after use, just like getting a cleaning at the dentist's office.I set it aside after a year or two. Recently I decided to use it again after several years. It would not take a charge. I decided the batteries might need replacement and found a site on the Internet that explained how to dismantle the unit and replace the batteries. This unit is not designed for home or factory service. The parts and the batteries are anchored in epoxy at the factory. Considering that nickel-cadmium batteries last less than four or five years, this unit is fairly expensive , especially at the price I paid.Changing the batteries is a time consuming effort. Even after finishing the job, the toothbrush will not work. It is an expensive throwaway.

Does not seem to do much...

I have a 2010 Accord and the stock radio pulled in all stations within the Tri-state area even to the north of New Haven. I am not sure if it is the radio, the antenna or if the stock radio sent a signal to increase power or what, but this seems to be the weak link. I have to get at least into Norwalk, CT in order to pick up a Hot 97 when I was able to pick it up with the stock past New Haven! 770 WABC and AM stations, I was able to listen them all the way up in MA! I get AM but with FM I have to literally be right up on the tower! I did notice that the origial connector had some metel on the inside but this piece is lacking it. Maybe this is the problem?

Tolerable

I have a small dog and after the recent teeth cleaning by our vet to the tune of $400 I figured any attempt to clean teeth would be better than nothing. I've always brushed my dogs teeth so I was disappointed that I wasn't doing enough to keep the tarter at bay. This oral rinse is very different and a bit challenging to use at first. My dog wasn't too keen on the long plastic tube and I've figured out that it's best to have the liquid nearly to the tip of the tube before inserting it in my dogs mouth. If I don't have the liquid in the tube the amount of air blowing in my dogs mouth leads her to shy away from it. All it takes is a quick squeeze on either side of the dogs mouth and you're done! My dog doesn't seem to be bothered by the taste if there is one. Overall I'm hoping that this well help keep my dogs teeth cleaner but I won't really know until next year.

Same music as 18 years ago, different soul, different budget

There is very little that is startling about "By the Way". It all sounds horribly familiar. Much as Soundgarden, Chris Cornell, Rage Against the Machine, God where does the list end, "By the Way" bothers me so much because they seem to have all signed some sort of music industry pact to make bland, radio driven crappy music and you idiots just eat it up.

Returned to Amazon

After reading some great reviews I've decided to give this trike a try and purchased it on Amazon for my 3-year-old. Price was the determining factor. I wanted something my son could play for few years and move on to a full bike, I wasn't looking for the most durable product.The package arrived on time, but items seems to be "open-box", as I can see dents on some of the parts, all tires had signs of use as I can see specs of dirt on them. This is the first time I've gotten a "returned" item advertised as "new" from Amazon. Let's just hope that this experience is one time thing, and will not happen regularly with Amazon.Pro:Amazon's great return policy.Con:Got an open box item (probably with some parts missing)The tires smelled awful.The front wheel is smaller than the advertised picture.The trike is smaller than expected.
