Question: Amazing sequel - Rachel has done it again!!

This review may contain spoilers for Monster in My Closet, so if you haven't read it and still continue to read this review; I did warn you. Don't come crying to me! :-)

There are times when I get a book and I sigh when reading. Because sometimes it's just not what you expected and not good. And then there are the times where you stumble over a hidden gem and you submerge into the world the author created and when you finally get up for air, you look around and are surprised by the dark outside (or the morning light shining in).

Rachel with her Monster in My Closet was a hidden gem for me. So imagine my surprise and utter delight when receiving an ARC of her sequel Pooka in My pantry. (I confess, I squealed - loudly)

I loved Monster in My Closet. Zoey and her friends made me laugh on a day where I didn't believe I could even muster a smile. I shook my head at Zoey's quirkiness , her choice of clothes, well even her choice of weapon. :-) And I just adored the cover of the book. Seriously.

I will try and do this book justice, but it's kinda hard when I liked it so much.

Soo. Zoey's been trying to adjust to her new life as a helper of the Hidden creatures. She had a baby dragon with a cold (careful so he doesn't combust!), a sea serpent giving birth in her pool (a quite cold, but wonderful moment) and this is the tip of the iceberg. Zoey is a Empath (and maybe more),and all her life she has helped other people, the problem now is, she can't tell her best friend what's going on. Sara's been a vital part of Zoey for as long as she can remember and it's killing her she can't talk to her, that she has to lie to her to cover up her "other" crazy life.

But how can you tell a person you have a closet monster in your spare bedroom? A closet monster who likes to cook and clean and is living with you because his wife kicked him out? How do you tell your best friend your maybe-boyfriend is a Reaper who collects souls when their time is up? That you have a brownie family living in a giant mushroom in your backyard, a skunk-Ape as a bodyguard? Imagine the conversation!

In Monster in My Closet, Zoey was marked for death twice and both times she escaped with help by Riley (her maybe-boyfriend), which landed him in a HEAP of trouble. Riley disappears and Zoey is concerned he is paying for helping her. When he finally returns he's on probation with a watch (Art) to make sure he doesn't step out of line. Unfortunately the Board of Hidden Affairs couldn't care less about Riley, they're much more interested in Zoey, because maybe she's more than what you can see, and to find out they're putting her to through a test that just might cost her life.

Then add a Pooka who doesn't know boundaries if it hit him in the head (or how to wear pants) who brings so much bad luck with him he is a walking disaster for everyone around him (and insisting on moving in with Zoey) and a gang of thugs (oops, sorry leprechaun mafia) who insists people pay them protection money so they don't get a bout of.... uhmm, bad luck their way. Not to mention Maurice (Zoey's friend, the Closet Monster) is returning home to try and make up with his wife, and you have a wonderful story filled with surprises, good and bad luck (and a lot of algebra), love and friendship and a woman with a mind set on not taking s*** from anyone. :-)

Pooka in My Pantry is a wonderful continuation of Rachel's Monster Haven series and left me craving more. I just love Zoey and her friends and no matter what happen, you can trust Zoey to be there for her friends - with or without a toiletbrush. :-)

If you like a different story, your heroines to be quirky, magical creatures, mystery and a touch of love (romance and friendship), this series is definitely for you.

*** 3 year update, the refurbished model is still working great, upped the star rating back to 4 because of awesome customer service.
*** 19 month update, contacted the manufacturer and even though it was past the one year warranty, they exchanged it for a "refurbished model" but the new toaster looked brand new and even had the dreaded first use smell.
*** 18 month update, the slider for selecting the time has started malfunctioning even when not touched the lights (and toasting time) l will fluctuate randomly, and no longer correspond to the desired setting. This makes the timing pretty random and forces me to use the "a little bit more button several times instead of relying in the slider. I docked it 3 stars because a hundred dollar toaster should work well way beyond one year.

******1year update, still glad I bought this model, works great still looks great.***

I was hesitating between taking another gamble on a cheap twenty dollar toaster or putting more money in and going for a potentially better quality toaster. It's been two months and I am quite happy with the purchase. I use it every day and my toasts have been consistently great.

It will stink of plastic the first time you turn it on (I always wonder why they don't do that at the factory...), but won't stink the second time. Some elements on the medial side of each slot do look like they are not as bright red as on the ones the lateral side but this may be intentional in the design as the toasts are always evenly done on both sides. Happy that I don't have to pop my bread in twice to get even toasts as my old toaster forced me to do.

I hope it lasts more than 5 years, if it doesn't,  I'll be back here to change my rating.

Question: Quality product / Responsive Seller

These are quality chairs. We ordered two.  Unfortunately, one of them looks like it was a returned (and repackaged) item that came missing some parts and somewhat damaged.  However, the seller was quick to ship us the missing and damaged parts within a week.  So all in all we're pretty happy. Also, as others have said, the wheels can be pretty difficult to snap into the base.  Other than that, great product for the price.

Like it. The packaging of this product should be better in the near future to make it more appealing to customers.

It is handy dandy for me. I have access to all the materials to make this, but I am lazy. BTW it doesn't keep rodents out. Our backyard rats love it.

Question: Even better than I was expecting

Even better than I was expecting. Made my area rug look brand new. The hardwood floor attachment works beautifully! I love how it doesn't spit out the dirt and dust. Rather, sucks it up, then wipes the surface clean. It takes care of my dog's hair incredibly well!

I recommend this book to anyone who loves to read--you will read with better clarity and understanding.  If you are in college, do yourself a favor and read this book.

Question: awesome coloring book

Great coloring book.  Heavy sturdy pages with big fun designs just for boys.  My son is 5 and loves this and colors on it all the time.  So does mommy :)

Basically the movie wasn't so good as I espected it  to be .I mean the first movie was way much better I could say the Pocahontas 2 discussed me .The hole thing of the movie was that she stays with John Smith and finally she ends up running with another guy that was much more uglier than John Smith .
 The cartoon is pretty well realizes the characters looked  somehow the same as the ones in the first movie but the context is very poor .So if you really want to enjoy you're Fridays don't choose Pocahontas 2 because it will leave you with a sour taste in you're mouth .

Question: I love this popping bowl.

I have 2 of these. I was hesitant to buy this, however after reading the reviews, I bit the bullet.
This was a great choice!  I love that I don't use ANY butter or oil to pop with! I do add butter once I have popped the corn.
Super easy clean up, I can store a few in the same space as one large bowl.
I definitely recommend giving this a try.

This was a nice however,  it was too wide of a band for my 3.8 pound dog.  She wore it for three days and I had to toss it out.  Perfect for a bigger dog, quality made and I liked the ring on the top to clip on your leash.

Just a few changes that I didn't like. 1) all of my books were transferred to the new kindle but I couldn't tell which ones I read and were in archive. 2) I transferred them to the device from the cloud or visa vers. I don't quite understand the cloud. Everyone I talk to want to know why I save my books after I read them. I tell them because I read so many that I don't remember if I read book one of a series when I see in the store book two and so on. Other wise I love my kindle so much and think this new version is the best reader out there. All my friends and family own kindles because of me.

I wanted to Love these. Initially ordered a 7.5 which was WAY too big. Returned and bought the 7 which was still a tad big and once I wore them all day they stretched a tad more. I have somewhat of a wide foot but not wide enough to have to buy "wide" shoes. These however are cut weird at the front causing blisters on my toes on BOTH sides. Halfway through the day I had blisters on the back of my foot and on both sides of the front. The cushion is comfortable and better then most flats but the overall comfort is a NO for me. These shoes are terribly uncomfortable all the way around.

Question: nice to find an amount that I can use

necessary item to contain my SD cards.... nice to find an amount that I can use.  Price was excellent.

Nice bowl.  Pretty color. perfect size.  I got my cup and could not wait to make my first bowl of soup.  While I was washing it I noticed a defect on the inside bottom of the bowl.  a hole that goes pretty deep.  I contacted the company the company the next day so get instruction to return it for another one but have heard back from them??? humm. Company clams they make top quality product (s).  I can understand mistakes but when the company can not stand behind their products by not contacting the customer, makes me wonder id the company has defects in customer service as well.

Question: Joshua Trees, Cold Beer and CRB = Pappy & Harriets high desert magic

LEGIT!!! Sounds just as good as the live show!! Chris and the boys really stretch it out and jam. Killer tunes.

Has many great features, including a multi fire strobe setting which is very cool. Doesn't have the Super high end speed light features like high speed sync, but it's also 1/10th the price. Great starting out flash unit. Definitely worth the money.

Question: Deliciously different!

I just tried a can of these and liked them so much I ate them cold out of the can.  That can be hard to do with sardines in mustard.  Usually I warm them in the microwave to make them edible, but these were great.

The mustard sauce is not overpowering as with some canned sardines with mustard.  It's very mild, and I think the potato flour is used to mellow out the mustard and get the sauce to sort of stick to the sardines in a good way.

So, if you're a fan of mustard sardines and you think you've tried 'em all, then I would recommend trying these too.  I'm glad I did.

Very useful device!  Enables you to really see what you're trying to remove. The attachments are a bit sharp on the edges so its very important to be careful when using this device.

Question: Works Just as Advertised

Can't beat it for the money, just ordered another one for the 5D for time lapse work.

What starts out as a tale with imaginative possibilities falls into a highly improbable and laborious plot. Perhaps I missed something or expected something that didn't really materialise.

Great bag! It keeps the rubber bands from being every where. Fast shipping as well.

I just got mine today, I payed for two day shipping because my birthdays coming up and I wanted to use it for an event. I plugged it in and it didn't work. I looked online for what I could do and, basically if I want this charger (that I payed about 20$ for to work) I have to position the speaker so it's laying down on the charger so it's positioned a certain way so the charger works. Very disappointed. I would recommend just going to a store like Best Buy and asking if they have a charger but, this isn't worth the money or the hassle.

Question: If you own an older car or truck this may come in handy

I drive an older truck that does not have the modern gadgets available. There are times that I need to plug in 2 items that require the old cigarette lighter.  Now I can do it.  This is a great product and luckily I found it for a very low price.  And it is nice and compact so I can carry it with me with ease.

WHAT WAS RALPH NADER THINKING ?, is a real life account of working for, and with, thee icon of the American Citizen, Ralph Nader. And in attempts to have his name placed on State ballots in his run for President. The trials and tribulations, and there are many accounted for within, along with insults to injury from citizens(?) claiming to believe in democracy. If only they really did. Think Pennsylvania. People may think they believe in free elections but they really don't. Here in this on-scene account by Author Jurgen Vsych, and I must add, a witty account, I had the feeling of being punched in the stomach while I was laughing out loud. A strange combination of emotions are here for the reader if you're a believer in the notion that you can vote for anyone you choose, and that any U.S. Born citizen can run for President. Remember what you were taught in school while growing up? Be prepared to suspend those beliefs, so you can separate myth from reality. Sebastian McGarigle

Question: Great Motion Detection Light

Had it for months and working as described and no problems

I have a 10 x 10 room and this thing is a powerhouse. The noise is easy to get used to and is as loud as any standing fan. Cools the whole room in about 15 minutes and keeps it at temp. I took apart the box it came in and jammed the styrofoam into the window sill gap and then taped the side window covers it comes with over top and it surprsingly insulated the sides. Being in college I didn't care how it looked. I run it at night and as long as you set it to "stay cool" it won't cut off randomly, but if you leave it on the starting setting it will try to keep turning off to save energy so just set that straight and you're good.

Question: Easy to use reference book

Really amazing resource on the Crusades and their different eras.  Riley-Smith did a fantastic job at putting this resource together.

The heart pendant is very nice but i purchased it because of the pretty birthstones that go with it.  Wthin an hour of wearing it  with the birthstones one of them had fallen off and was lost.  When i took it off  a couple of hours later the other two had worked up to the end and were ready to fall off.  Bad design for attaching the stones or poor marketing.  Pretty but doesn't work right.  Too bad.

Question: A funny, realistic take on life, love, & bringing home a paycheck

I was asked to review this book & thought it could be amusing, so I said yes. Happy I did! Lim offers a realistic & amusing look at friendships, family, writing, love, & human nature. Please note, I do not know the author, nor have I read anything by her before. (Another reviewer mentioned a fashion blog, but I don't know anything about that. Just putting this disclaimer out there.)

Maddy has her college degree...in journalism...which is dead. And finding a job in a recession, especially a job in her field, is nigh impossible. While visiting her bestie in po-dunk Idaho, she somehow manages to land a job at Lightning Speed Communications fielding calls from irate customers while simultaneously trying to sell those same customers new products no one wants or needs.

This book held my attention easily from the beginning, although it really took off during the second half, as if Lim landed in her groove then. My favorite parts definitely revolved around the myriad customer calls Maddy took, because I've been on the receiving end of those. Lim was spot on. Those conversations were the cause of most of my LOL moments.

The story progressed naturally, & the character development was smooth. The dialogue took a little while for me to get into, but once I was used to it, I could appreciate how realistic it was given the personalities. Some characters were definitely over-blown stereotypes, but they were amusing nonetheless. Sometimes Maddy beat issues to death (like how much she hated the fact that she had to sell...yeah, I got that part, she hated it), but one could never accuse her of being vague. On some levels, it was fun to have all the different languages dropped around the pages, but since I could only translate a few while reading, it easily got annoying. Although Maddy waxes poetic a bit about human nature & how people interact when calling customer service, she makes some good points. There's a bit of dead horse beating there, too.

Overall, Lim's style is engaging & amusing. Some editing is needed, but it's fairly easy to overlook once you're into the story. (Just a note, though, a comma is not a coma, no matter how many times you spell it that way.) I was surprised by how much I could relate to Maddy, because I didn't expect to share such a similar background with her (Illinois, journalism, call center, etc). Speaking as one with so many similarities with the heroine, I'm impressed with Lim's accuracy in portrayal. Definitely semi-autobiographical, & well-done at that. It's not perfect, but it's a great offering from a new author. I'll definitely keep an eye out for her next release.

Personally I'm a dollar book girl who tends to gravitate more toward historical romances, so I don't know that I'd pay full-price. I'd definitely add Lim to my list & watch for a sale, tho. If you're a chick-lit fan, you'd enjoy this. Lim has a strong voice and true talent with a style I found easy to enjoy. Not quite a 5-star book, in my opinion, but I'd bet Lim could get 5-stars from me in the future. Keep it up, Lim!

It doesn't work at all after squeezing eggs inside.  I also tried to squeeze baked yam ( since eggs are NOT working at all), but it also failed. All in all, they are not good.  Kids ended up using them as "egg holder" .. that's it :-(

Question: A good-looking vest for the right price

I wanted the vest mainly to wear over the black T-shirts I favor and wear around the house to cure a degree or so of chill.  Our cats, Bebop and Lula, seem to like it---so I'll have to keep it out of their sharp-fingered reach.  The 2X vest was a perfect fit for my 48" chest.  It's as good looking as the photo depicts and would look fine with a black or gray sports jacket, so I'll also wear it at dress-up social events or when the restaurant requires a tie.  The tie and pocket kerchief are good Men's Shop quality.  I'm long-waisted.  The tie is long enough for a full windsor knot, leaving plenty of length to drop behind what shows.  Visually, I find the contrast between the paisleys and the charcoal background less sharp than I'd expected.  The paisleys don't pop out at you, but that's not a knock on the vest or tie.  Subtle is also good.  The backstrap worked well in pulling the lower vest in to fit my 38 waist.  Another vest I bought at Nordstrom for a lot more money is on a par with the quality of this vest.  So if you're hesitating, go ahead and buy.  It's a good-looking vest for the right price.

they look fabulous, but when it comes to real work they are not work even $5. very disappointed by the purchase. I do not recommend.

Question: it does look damn good.

So, the wings. The wings have a problem that I ended up solving with superglue. I could not, for the life of me, get the pins to fit for the wings into the tie body side. They seemed off by...whatever measurement. No amount of bending cursing or praying to eldritch gods would get them to fit.

I can only assume that either something was missing in the manual, or that they misjudged the holes for assembly.

That said, once done, it does look damn good.

It seems decent and easy to install, we will see how long it lasts. With it being plastic I am not expecting it to last forever

Question: Unexpectedly great sound and very good FM reception. Buy it!

I ordered this little radio/usb gadget after seeing a video review here on amazon. I was looking for a portable usb music player, and in seeing the video, I was impressed with the sound quality. I admit that I was skeptical of putting any faith on audio from an online file, but the price was such that I went ahead and ordered the radio. Wow, am I impressed! This little device pushes out great sound for such a small, inexpensive product.

The FM radio works wonderfully, too. This has a very long telescoping antenna that pulls in stations that my boom boxes can't receive. I particularly like the fact that the radio allows direct input of an FM frequency if desired. This way you don't have to rely on the channel search feature to find what may be a marginal signal. Once input, you can move the radio or the antenna until you find the strongest reception. It works great to pull in our funky public radio station that is always promising to improve their signal--and they never have.

The radio has a lithium battery that charges through a usb connection. The usb charging port can be selected to be an aux input if desired--a nice feature. I just may buy a couple more of these just to have the ability to hear NPR clearly when I'm in different rooms of the house or out in the garage. Buy this little radio. You won't be disappointed!

Best device ever - so many channels to choose from.  Very easy to set up.  Wish I bought this a year ago!

Superb quality for the money.  409 stainless steel casing, perforated core, packed with steel mesh and ceramic wool, and made in the USA.  All for $40 shipped is astounding given the material and build quality.  It also sounds very good, deep mellow tone and not really raspy which is impressive for a straight through.  Prior was a huge fan of the Magnaflow products but after they upped their pricing I started looking elsewhere and came across Jones Exhaust.  Saw a few videos and pictures that convinced me to give Jones a try, especially since in this instance the equivalent Magnaflow muffler was twice as much.  What convinced me was that on offset mufflers Magnaflow uses crush bent tubing for their cores, but Jones uses mandrel bent tubing for their cores.  Sure that doesn't apply here, but it says what kind of quality goes into their products, I also noticed in pictures and consequently in person the perforations in the core look cleaner on the Jones muffler.  Will definitely buy Jones Exhaust mufflers from now on and recommend them to those I know.

cheap plastic... not worth the price.. could find something better for 50 bucks... do not buy

Question: It will broaden your horizon!

Fascinating read for product designers, architects and anyone who is looking to improve design thinking and how they see the world.

From toilets to abortion centers to iPhone, after reading this book, you will start to see a difference in how you look at products and facilities. Equally fascinating you will see how design differ in different cultures. One example that struck out for me was that of how the prevailing medical facilities system has By Design put doctors working at Planned Parenthood at risk.

As a Product Manager for one of the leading productivity suites, it is very essential for me to deliver Universal Accessibility. I am happy to attest that read this book has added some rather critical dimensions  to my product design checklist. Certainly something that will help me become a better PM and the products me and my colleagues build much more accessible.

I must've read and re-read this  thing a hundred times as a teen, trying to puzzle out its inner workings. I learned a lot about writing as a result.

Question: And yet she falls in love with him and they live happily ever after

I couldn't finish this book.  What kind of message does it send? the hero drugs the heroine and has sex with her... the very definition of rape.  He repetitively states before hand that her virtue is safe with him... and he does this and then blames her the next day.  And yet she falls in love with him and they live happily ever after, just like it was any other romantic tale.

I realize this is a work of fiction, but I have to draw the line on something like this.  How can you like the hero with this in the back ground? I skipped through the book, looking for a scene where this somehow is justified (not possible in real life) or he shows remorse, and I couldn't find it.  I read some of the reviews on good reads, and it doesn't look like he is very remorseful.

I'm sorry but a romance can't work if the hero is a lying scumbag who drugs women.

Fabulous birds that need to be studied to be appreciated fully. Remarkable book with much detail.

I was terrible and bought my wedding dress hanger the week of the wedding so I turned to Prime for 2-day shipping. Found this beauty and I was so happy! A little narrower than I expected, but still really great-- looks so classic and beautiful in person.

I bought these because I've had/loved my other pair of the same brand for years and needed an update. Besides being the same sunglasses, essentially, these were loose and felt flimsy. Came in a ridiculously oversized case though, if you like that kind of thing.

Question: Humanity...... and humility.

Smooth reading with lots of depth in each character. I felt like I had been on their adventures with them.

I love this cutting board set!  Previously I had just the different colored mats to use for different types of foods.  With this set you get the mats and the awesome slip resistant board to give you more support and stability while you are cutting.  The board is made out of heavy duty plastic, that will last and last.  It has rubber feet on the bottom of the board that keep it from moving while you cut.  It also has rubber tips on the top to help secure the colored mats to it, so that they stay in place while your are using them.  The different colored mats are great too for keeping food separate and helping to reduce cross contamination.  I wish I would have gotten this Cutting Board set a long time ago!  It is now one of my favorite tools to use in the kitchen.

Question: Good quality; a bit bulky; definitely cleans the air

Good points:
  > Good quality. I've kept this item in service for more than 6 months now.
  > On sunny days when I can see dustmotes, I can see the dust motes enter but not leave.
  > Cleaning the inner prefilter (black fabric with velcro) is straightforward.
  > Some reviews I read said there was a strange smell upon startup, but I did not smell anything strange on startup.

Bad points:
  > The unit is bulky for the amount of airflow it pushes.

Köstenberger and Schreiner have provided a significant update in the 3rd edition of Women in the Church: An Interpretation and Application of 1 Timothy 2:915. This edition includes a brand new essay by Al Wolters on the Greek word authentein, which is a crucial word to define in order to understand the meaning of 1 Timothy 2:915. Wolters has been engaged in cutting-edge research on the meaning of the word for the past decade, and anyone doing serious work on this passage will need to consult this new essay.

Denny Burk has also provided a brand new essay in this volume. His essay discusses the different approaches to the translation of this passage that have been taken, especially analyzing the various shifts that have taken place in the NIV 1984 and TNIV 2002 and the TNIV 2005 and NIV 2011. This essay will provide helpful background information for readers of the English Bible as well as good scholarly discussion for students of the Greek New Testament.

Many of the other essays in the 3rd edition contain significantly updated and reworked material. Köstenbergers chapter includes an examination of the syntax of verse 12: I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man (ESV). He includes extensive research on syntactic parallels in both Scripture and ancient Greco-Roman literature that continues to undergird his conclusion that the two verbs teach and exercise authority cannot be merged into a single idea that is more restrictive than either word would be separately (for example, seizing authority to teach a man).

The book concludes with a brand-new virtual round-table discussion with many familiar names such as Rosaria Butterfield, Gloria Furman, Trillia Newbell, and Darrin Patrick. This virtual round-table discussion aims to provide a series of observations concerning the application of 1 Timothy 2:915 to the lives of men and women today.

Köstenberger claims in the introduction: It is my conviction that the phalanx of highly credentialed scholars who contributed to this volume cannot easily be charged with merely spouting patriarchal propaganda. Readers of this work will find extensive engagement with primary sources; judicious, transparent interpretation; and responsible, charitable interaction with opposing views (23). In my reading of this book, I certainly found this claim to be true.

So for complementarians who have lingering questions based on a deluge of new scholarship or new claims in the broader evangelical world, take up and read. This book will be the go-to volume for such inquiry for many years to come. For egalitarians who desire a thorough exposition of the opposing side, take up and read. The judicious scholarship in this volume will certainly satisfy your desire to further investigate the subject. And for those who do not have firm theological convictions one way or the other, take up and read. This book will provide a clear and helpful entryway into the conversation.

Question: Total Disappointment!

Not as described, TOTAL knock off, no name brand as pictured. Cheap mock glass, should be sold cheaper than Ball name brand! Can't use the Ball brand, then bait & switch! Still a thick heavy glass, but not name brand.

A toy! Not even close to being realistic!!! Having a lot of problems trying to return it for a refund.

Extremely cheap material and incredibly small for the size I bought. I had to donate it to Purple Heart - it was completely unwearable for me.

ABSOLUTELY Adorable!

A few notes:
I have a three month old with an 85th percentile size head.  I put the bow on this weekend for church and while it is very good quality and the flower is even prettier than the picture, the band was very tight fitting and almost seemed to dig into her skin after a while.  She has a huge collection of bows and head wraps and this is the only one that seems to be significantly more tight fitting than the others.

The glasses are too cute for words, but they are a little large for her right now, so for example she can't wear them in her carseat because the backs of them push off the back of the carseat and they fall down her face.  That's not the glasses 'fault' and she will grow into them.  Overall extremely happy with this purchase.

Question: If I could give 6 stars, I would.

Seth Kaufman is a brilliant pianist. I watched him perform at Cornell when my daughter studied there. I have all his cds - even after 100s of replays, they are magical. Blue Light, amongst his earlier compositions captures the serenity and beauty of the gorges and the area. Circling Noon and Red Descending his more recent work have jazz overtones, Red Descending especially. His music has evolved and each cd makes for a wonderful gift to yourself or anyone else. There isn't a pianist as talented as Seth Kaufman.

The gronkle is really cute. It seems pretty decently made- the felt for the wings and eyebrows(? or ears?) was nice and thick. My 2 year old was thrilled. The only reason I didn't give it four stars was because somehow the edge of one of the ear/eyebrow flaps had gotten sewn down onto the corner of the eye and I had to carefully trim it free. Fortunately it didn't look too bad, but I wish there had been a little more quality control there.

It works well. The quality isn't what I expect from logitech. The mouse has good range but the keyboard does not. Also the mouse randomly decided to stop working if it wasn't within 3in of the receiver. At first I really loved it but my experience went downhill from there

Question: The skirt does not look anything like it did in the picture

The skirt does not look anything like it did in the picture.  I loved the muted colors and thought it would be perfect for summer but the colors are much brighter and louder as pictured.  The fit was decent but too short for a maxi skirt.  I knew that may be a problem as I am 5'9 but it hit at a very awkward point between my mid calf and ankle.  I tried returning the product but the seller claimed they never received it back. It's been over 3 months and now I have no skirt and am out the cost of the skirt plus shipping.  Obviously frustrated but I guess that's the risk you take ordering online.

Just what I needed for my new head unit so my steering wheel radio controls would work.  This unit wasn't real easy to set but ok. Only need to set it up once.  I love that I could change my steering wheel channel changer buttons to answer/hang-up on calls instead of changing radio stations.  My choice!!

Question: Does not fit a FIAT 500

According to Amazon, this fits a 2012 Fiat 500 Pop. It does not. The correct bulb for that vehicle is a 9012 or HIR2. I wasted time and money on one-day shipping because it's a "rare" bulb (the correct one). I'm sure this is a fine bulb for the vehicles it fits.

Bought two sets since my recipes all seem to make 8 muffins- I use them a lot and love them. Unlike some other reviewers, I had no problem with them not sitting flat on the cookie sheet, and no problem with rusting- as soon as I take them out of the oven I wash them off and put them back in to dry in the heat of the turned off oven - works like a charm.

Question: Neat idea, poorly executed.

I'm sorry to say that I can't recommend this book due to it's terrible handling of the English language.

The dialog is strained and unconvincing and the plot leans on events that just don't make sense.

I would almost suspect that the author wrote this in another language and translated it for all of the odd phrases or misusage of terms I encountered (such as the repeated use of the term "mouthed" when "said" would have been the more appropriate term as the context clearly indicated that the phrase in question was being spoken aloud).

For those who wish to heap praise upon this effort for its storyline, setting, or characters I say - send your thanks to Ed Cha who provided all of that when he wrote the D20 System game module upon which this book is based (The Village of Oester by Mystic Eye Press).
I have to say that the lack of editorial or quality control over efforts that re-use your created content is a hazard of the open-license used when publishing the source material and I hope that it was more flattering than embarrassing for this to be attempted.

It truly pains me to give a two-star rating to anything as I really liked the idea of reading a novel based upon a game module I'd bought and hadn't run yet plus I don't want to hurt the author's feelings but I have to be honest that the writing is so poor it is a distraction.

Another perfect gift for my friend's baby shower. Thank you.

I thought that this book might give some new information. There is nothing in this book that has not been repeated across the media a million times to date. Unless you come from another world you probably won't find the book worth reading

I've tried changing the setting on the printer to "vivid" and oversaturated my picture, but the color prints still come out looking like they've been washed in mud.

Question: Great sweatshirt for those of a draggy demeanor :-)

Wife loves it. Material is not thin, words are well printed, and color is good.

Nostalgia fun. Not really.
I bought this from Sam's club for a decent price but when playing it one time, the graphics are very sub par compared to the original Genesis games I had back in the day. This seems to be 8-10bit graphics chip and not the 16+ that was with the original consoles.
The games are hard to control using these controllers. There is no fluidity as you had with the original controllers.
In short, it was a fun experience to open and try each game, to relive nostalgia, but an even better experience to return it for a refund.

Question: Rubbish Chinese Pressed Steel Garbage

I read a few reviews and expected a lot more to be honest. All these knives appear to be pressed Chinese garbage, not just the steak knives.
I get it, they are cheap, but for the same money you can get a German steel set that are far superior in quality. The only saving grace here is the knife block, it is really nice. Which is disappointing because we are on a boat and don't have space for it.

I get the feeling that the knive I am using here and the ones being reviewed by others may even be different knives, I wouldn't be surprised if these are counterfeit to be honest.

Couldn't return them though because they were a rush purchase and we needed them immediately.

I love Granite Ware.  The porcelain coating insures easy clean up and is very durable. This replaces my 13 inch, Granite Ware roaster.  (No nothing wrong with it, still cooks like new.)  I needed something a little bigger and the smaller one was just too small for a broiler chicken, or a large pork roast.  The 15 inch, in perfect for just myself, or even a small family.  P.S., don't forget to order the 2006-8 roaster rack.  This roaster, does not come with a rack.

Question: Disintegrated after 24 hours.

Flowers fell apart just one day after receiving them. Bought them for my mothers birthday, such a disappointment!! Flowers were beautiful on day one but they self-destructed soon thereafter.

The intro to the book had me, like many others, thinking, "Oh, hey! That sounds kind of like me!" However, upon delving into the material, I realized exactly what she did: she included a broad enough spectrum to create a point of relation for all people. In one of the sections, she notes that you were either super responsible, super irresponsible, or somewhere in between. Which leaves... no one out, ACoA or not. The rest of the book contained a variety of overgeneralizations spoon-fed to the reader in a, "This is what you experienced. This is what happened. This is what is happening now. This is what will happen to you" way, which is a headache for someone who is sitting here disagreeing with most of it. However, that's not to say I didn't relate to certain aspects, but, then, who wouldn't? For example, one of the points was that ACoA dislike situations they cannot control. Basic research into fundamental psychology, however, reveals that this holds true for ALL humans. In studies of mice, those subject to shocks over which they had no control were more susceptible to increased health risks, higher stress, and general unhappiness, and these principles are the same in humans. It comes as no surprise, then, that ACoA dislike situations over which they have no control - NOBODY likes situations over which they have no control. I am willing to acknowledge that maybe I am simply trying to not fit into a mold, but really, when you can only agree with the most general, universally-applicable bullet points in the list... It makes you wonder. This book has useful information in it, but it's not a book for ACoA. It's simply an elementary treatise on basic psychology, told with the tone of a petulant child.

Question: Fun, Colorful,  a great addition to any bedtime story rotation.

The Potty Dance is a book written by someone very special to me, my wife Sylvia Pomazak. Sylvia is a working mom of two small boys and a first-time author who wanted to write a book to share the joy she gets from reading stories to her children. This book is happy and colorful and helps explain to small children in a fun and gentle way the sometimes difficult process of potty training. It is written in a breezy rhyming style that makes it a fun and easy read for parents and entertaining to children. It would make a great addition to any bedtime story rotation.

Great ideas!  Some ingredients I would have never thought to use in a shake/smoothie.  Because I try to watch my carbs, I am always on the lookout for ways of boosting my protein intake!

Question: But their great for work

Kaspersky Internet Security Suite 2011 is still the best malware/virus software in the business. It's easy to install, doesn't take too much RAM space (so it won't clog down and slow down your computer the way McAfee and Norton will).

I installed it, ran a whole scan, and happily found that my computer was virus free all within about an hour (your experience may differ depending on how much stuff you have on yor computer). The updates to the program can be set up to be done automatically at pre-set intervals so you don't have to even worry about keeping the software current.

Install a copy of Kaspersky and keep a piece of mind for a year. The package is good for three computers (enough for an average household).

The only cautionary comment that can be made about this software is to uninstall all previous versions of Kaspersky or any other anti-virus software prior to installing Kaspersky Internet Security 2011. If you don't you'll be prompted to do so when you try to install Kaspersky on your system.

Question: Great mystery for dog lovers!

This is the first Donna Ball Raine Stockton Dog Mystery that I've read, but it definitely won't be the last one for me.  I chose it because of the Christmas theme, even though it was the fifth one in this series. Thankfully, though I mostly like to read books in their numerical order, I felt like I wasn't missing anything about the main characters.

Raine Stockton has her hands full with her Search & Rescue Dogs.  Her training and grooming center is being remodeled but her funds have run dry.  It's the Christmas season and her dogs are going to be in the Christmas parade with a whole host of other pageant animals.  When they go to set up the manger scene, the baby Jesus is missing.  Seems there's been a rash of missing Baby Jesus dolls all over town. Also, seems that most of her friends are going somewhere else for Christmas dinner this year, including her ex-husband who's the town sheriff.

Raine's new rich, divorced, boyfriend comes to town for a couple of days, with a young daughter in toe.  Raine didn't even know he had a child, and is not overly enthusiastic when she gets baby sitting duties.  Being involved in finding a murderer, an abandoned baby, and re-homing three abandoned puppies was definitely not on her to do list with a spoiled girl to care for.

This was definitely a fun book with creative mysteries. Dog lovers won't want to miss the antics of all the different Golden Retrievers that populate this series either. Lovely Christmas story with heart and playfulness of the season too.

Absolutely love this tablet. Bought it for its price to experience the Andriod OS. So much more freedom than IOS. Using this more than my iPad 2 now. Not using it for camera but then I wouldn't use my IPad for pictures either.

Question: See yourself with some flaws...

Its a nice picture frame but there are some flaws with it.  1st of all the corners are blacked out so most pictures you take do not fit inside the picture space.  There is a great zoom feature that allows you to zoom in that does fill in the gap, one problem though, it keeps the word ZOOM in the corner the whole time the zoom feature is in place.  Kind of stupid.

Frame is nice and so is the picture quality.  If picture fit into frame nicely and it didn't have this stupid zoom wording in the corner the whole time, this might have received a 5 from me.  I am sure there are other manufacturers that have overcome these flaws without having to alter the original picture.

Question: Earth to Breyer, Earth to Breyer

The U.S. Constitution is a social contract between the people and the U.S. Government. When interpreting any contract, a judge must consider the intent of the parties to the contract, not a stranger. When interpreting our constitution, Breyer ignores the intent of the parties ("We the People of the United States") and considers the intent of strangers (Europeans, Canadians, etc.). Justice Breyer, that is wrong.

"Active liberty" is really "activist liberty" that upsets the constitutional balance of power, and the checksand balances between the three branches of the U.S. Government. Acticist federal jurists like Breyer declare a policy issue to be a "constitutional issue". Because only federal judges can decide "constitutional issues", that declaration usurps the polictmaking power of Congress and to a lesser extent, the President. Justice Breyer, that is wrong.

You should read this book because it is an activist judge's confession of what he plans to do to us with his power, In case any of you don't know, Breyer is Ted Kennedy's representative on the Supreme Court. Breyer is trying to incorporate Kennedy's political, economic and social policies into the Constitution. Justice Breyer, that is wrong.

Knowing Kanye West only for his productions,you may at first think that this album is all good beats but garbage lyrics. If you think that, then you like myself and so many others could not have been more wrong. This album is an example of what many people consider "real hip-hop". Kanye West might even be one of the most lyrical rap artist in the game right now. Over statement? Then listen closely to songs like; "Get'Em High", "Never Let Me Down", "New Workout Plan" and the list goes on. Matter of fact listen to the whole album. My personal favorite is "Jesus Walks". Another song that shows not only Kanye West's lyrical skills but how deep the man is. Not many rappers talk about Jesus, but more about guns. Plus the guest appearances are not bad (although Kanye has the best verse in all the songs). Common and Talib Kwali rip the song "Get'Em High" and Mos Def and Freeway are a good addition to the song "Two Words". The album is very diverse, but mostly filled with deep songs, such as "Through the Wire", "All Falls Down", "Family Business" and so on (which is good because it gives you something different to listen to other than what you always hear on radio). My only problem is that this album has too many skits, but it can still be considered a classic. One time for Kanye!

Question: They look and feel great.

They work great. They feel good to hold, the buttons feel right, the sticks feel right, and they're very responsive. Not too heavy, not too light. My ONLY gripe is that the input piece that goes into the PlayStation feels a little tight. Other than that, these controllers are near perfect for any gamer.

Sometimes buying parts online can be tricky. My car was showing a code and CEL. Car runs fine, but this part was cheap so i bought a new one.

This part was an EXACT match for my car. Basically remove and replace. This took a little time only because there is very little room for my hand in my particular car, otherwise this went well thanks to the part being exact. This part came with a little adapter harness as shown so it must fit other vehicle using that piece, I did not need it.

Question: Clean and Crisp Taste

These are so good and have a light and clean taste compared to some other brands I've tried. I can drink it plain, with some milk, with some milk and a sweetener, and they all end up tasty. Also if you forget and brew it for longer than necessary, it won't become bitter like regular black tea.

I took one star off for being a little more expensive than I'm comfortable with, even with the Subscribe-and-Save savings, but the quality of the tea overcomes everything else.
I highly recommend this tea over other brands for anyone looking for Rooibos tea.

I received this camera as a present and have been using it for about two years now. From the moment I set eyes on it I decided to replace it with something better! The chrome and body finish on it is rubbish - all lumpy and mismatched - the paint looks as if its been applied with a brick! The buttons and controls are cheap looking and feel as if they are about to break at any minute. Although it is fairly easy to use and the picture quality is OK, the lens motors can be heard on any video it takes and bizarrley the charge lights seem to be around the wrong way (green when the battery needs charging and red when it's charged...!)
THE WORST THING ABOUT THIS CAMERA THOUGH...is the hyper annoying delay between pressing the shutter button, and the camera actually recording the picture in front of it. Generally when people see/hear the shutter they naturally presume that the picture has been taken and start to walk off, or relax. I am constantly taking pictures of the side and back of people's heads or even empty pictures where the plane/bird/car/train etc WAS.... The actual picture seems to be recorded a few seconds after the shutter has opened. It then takes about 10 seconds to sort its life out again before deciding to take another picture - by which time the UFO or whatever has left.......
The battery seems to take a full over night charge in order to be any where near good and then gives up after a short amount of time, in fact I think I would be better off employing an artist to follow me around and paint pictures for me - probably be quicker...

I own a number of lyme and tick borne ilness realted books. This one should be in everyone's collection loads of well researched information to help get closer to healing from lyme and co infections.

The charger is a slow charge and barely maintains current battery levels. Plugging into the usb port with a charging cable works better but its pointless to have to use a second cord. May as well just buy the 12volt usb adapter and use your own cord. Would not recommend buying

Question: Two stars cause I'm returning them.

These are not your typical slim jeans. I would call them straight. The colors are awesome, but the fit is more straight than slim. Returning them to order a pair that is slim, hopefully the same color.

This is a superlative period piece and a brilliant adaptation of Elizabeth Gaskell's 1865 novel of the same name. This BBC mini-series is a superb costume drama with stellar performances by the entire cast. Set in rural England, the film centers around Molly Gibson, the seventeen year old daughter of a country doctor. Richly drawn portraits of Molly's neighbors and friends quickly emerge and weave an absorbing tapestry of nineteenth century life.

Molly and her father, a widower for most of Molly's life, have an exceptionally close and loving relationship. Their relationship is put to the test when he decides to marry a widow and former governess, Hyacinth, who is a pretentious, self absorbed, ridiculous woman. She has a grown daughter named Cynthia, a beautiful young woman, close to Molly in age, but as different from Molly as night and day. Cynthia is best described as a Marilyn Monroe of the Victorian age. Cynthia and Molly become fast friends, while Molly barely tolerates her nigh intolerable step-mother.

The series really revolves around Molly's relationships with all the characters in the production and her handling of the various everyday situations in which she finds herself. Richly drawn, memorable characters, as well as intrigues, secrets, and romance, make this a highly absorbing drama and one that those who love period pieces and lush, well acted costume dramas will enjoy. It is simply a masterpiece.

With stunningly crisp visuals and beautiful clarity of sound, the production value of this three disc, five hour DVD is simply first rate. It is also value laden with some very interesting features. There is an engaging fifty five minute portrait of Elizabeth Gaskell, the author of the novel upon which this mini-series is based. There is a also a twenty minute documentary on the making of the film which is entertaining, as it gives a bird's eye view of the thought that went into the making of the film and the development of the characters. There is also a who's who guide to the performers. This DVD is well worth having in one's collection.

Question: Best Manson Yet.... Hes Outdone Himself

alright check this out. im not a big manson fan but i have heard alot about this cd and soon to be released book. i have read everything about it and i still had no clue how good it was going to be. i came home, popped in the cd and listened. from track one it was one of the best cds ive ever heard. Manson really has outdone himself and has once again brought his name back, in my opinion, to the gods of rock. if your even thinking about buying this cd stop thinking and get it. i garuntee you will love it more then any other cd he has ever made.(Machanical Animal SUCKED)

We southerners occasionally go on pilgrimage to Charleston, where gentility and pride eclipse historic tragedies. I like to sample the lives of Charlestonians by listening to the docents in historic home and garden tours. If you cannot spend time in Charleston this year, then read "A Tangled Mercy," which reveals layers of tradition preserved in family histories, social class, and architecture, while opening our ears to authentic low-country dialogue. Joy Jordan-Lakes books are always engaging and thought-provoking, but her mastery of narrative and character development in this volume represents a new pinnacle in her development. There will be copies under our Christmas tree this year. I was fortunate to receive an advance copy "in return for an honest review."

Question: Great Supplement for your Pleco

My Pleco abdolutely loves these tabs - whether it accidentally bumps into him on the way in or it's halfway across the tank, he finds it in seconds every time. I typically use one tablet every 3-4 days. I also only put them in after dusk when I can actually see my pleco is out and about and not chilling in the castle.

I suffer from plantar fasciaitis and have a rough time with shoes. These Keen shoes are my day to day wear. Super high quality and comfort. My feet are wide and these fit perfectly. There is plenty of room in the toe box. I highly recommend!!!!

Question: GREAT CLUTTER CONTROL

This keeps CLUTTER under CONTROL.  It's for me and my shower stuff - but it would be excellent for the kids toys and stuff too.  It is heavy gauge.  I use as liner and have a fabric shower curtain hiding the "stuff".  L O V E it.

I purchased the original edition of Jean Nisbett's book years ago and absolutely loved it!  There are lots of beautiful color photos throughout and useful tables in the book.  She provides a handy metric conversion table, a fine description of the different periods of which most dollhouses are designed and decorated, and offers many projects for dollhouse components and accessories.  I haven't yet looked through her revised edition, but I'm sure it can only hold more wonderful pieces of information, guidelines and ideas.  Inspiring and useful!

Question: Love that it keeps it clean and for the most ...

It fit well and we put noodles in the low areas so the rain will drain off. we also used small clamps  to secure it in the wind. Love that it keeps it clean and for the most part dry between uses!

So when I give reviews I like to give the real deal, not some lame opinion. So here we go...

Pros:
-Material is clean and looks great
-Magnet flap works well
-Pockets are just enough
-Adhesive pad for Kindle is a great idea

Cons:
-Magnetic flap is kind of annoying but I found that you can tuck the flap between the two backings and it holds the other side.
-Adhesive pad can get dirty but can be cleaned with a wet rag and then it's back to new.

So seriously this case is really a good deal. When I got it and put my kindle on the adhesive pad I was kind of skeptical about how strong the hold would be. You can give the whole case a good jolt and the kindle won't fall out. It is pretty impressive.

They advertise 139 db+ My grandma can whisper louder. Not sure if I got a dud or what. But def not worth it. Not sure how the other reviewers said it was awesome.

Seems this top was a little smaller than my older one of same size, but it forces me to lose some pounds to be more comfortable.  That is probably a great unintended consequence.

Question: A wonderfully witty read!

This wonderful little book traces the adventures of Mary Duncan, a modern-day adventuress in the world of terrorism, sex, and academia. From her humble beginnings in an American suburb to her travels in Ireland, Russia, Paris and Hugh Hefner's mansion, Ms. Duncan's wise and racy memoir makes for excellent reading. Henry Miller lives under her bed, metaphorically and really, in a box. Why can't we all live like this! Very enjoyable.

Perfect.  Smell is almost too strong the 1st day, but then it levels out.

Question: and could be organized better.

The book is way too dense to grasp everything discussed, and could be organized better.

Totally dug this book. Its your basic police procedural, set in space. What sets this apart from your CSI: Miamis or Law&Orders is that the writing is on point and the characters are much more interesting. On top of that they do a great job of world-building the space station and all its subcultures without stalling out the story. But the creative team builds out various sub-cultures, norms and mores/customs and slang that really advance the plot and enrich the story overall.

Highly recommend.

Question: All the best songs ever in a great way

All the best songs ever in a great way.  Still like the boom boom from Pat the base by Rich and, now, Jeffy's twang that makes the whole world come into focus.  Keep ROCKIN!

I've been a Spider Wire loyalist for awhile but it gets expensive. I decided to give Kast King a shot and I'll never go back. It's pretty much the exact same thickness as Spider Wire, but with less abrasion. Also, the memory on this line is almost zero. Very easy to tie knots with. I purchased the 10lbs test just to try it out and I couldn't be happier. I will be ordering more spools in higher tests. I really wish they sold this at retail locations but I'll keep buying online until then.

Question: Generous Length, Excellent Performance, Durable Silicone...

We all probably have a pair of silicone gloves in the kitchen, I have a couple sets.  What sets this Manlehom set apart from the others is a soft, cloth interior that makes them very comfortable to wear.  There are so many great uses for the Manlehom Heat Resistant Glove Set in the kitchen; stove, oven, grill and more. The gloves feel really good, flexible, and strong. They seem to be made of a good quality silicone material and even better, no smells or odors out of the package; this is important to me. I like that these have a longer length on them, to protect my forearm; most typical mitts out there will only come up just above the wrist, so I love the extra protection.

The Manlehom gloves have silicone bumps all over the outside so that I can get a good grip on my pans and cooking tools. Baking pans in the oven, stainless steel handled cookware on the stove, etc.; the options are endless. These gloves are heat resistant but not flameproof so you want to avoid contact with flames directly for excessive periods of time. I like that these are designed with a hole on the end for hanging. Easy to hook right next to the stove.

These gloves also work great for other projects, they offer an easier way to get a good grip on stuck jars. I have also used these gloves with hot hot canning jars for getting them situated after getting them out of the canner, very nice.

Also in the package, a silicone sauce brush.

I love Sakkas and this shirt is my favorite.  Gorgeous colors and makes me feel happy just putting it on.  Works w/ leggings, jeans, and easy to dress up for special occasions.  Not one flaw in design or stitching.  If only I could wear it every day....

Question: Great light weight case for the price!

I received this CASE for Christmas.  Durable construction, well padded and light weight at a very reasonable price.  I have played both flugelhorn and trumpet for over 30 years (not professionally). The old dual hard case I used in middle school was pretty heavy and helped build up my muscles :)  I recently purchased a new trumpet and flugelhorn (both allora) and their cases have little room to even hold valve oil and latches do not line up properly.  Booth fit snug and safe and the outsid pocket allows room to carry  music and much more.  I would recommend to anyone who has both instruments.

I absolutely love these pens. I bought 2 of them on a special deal. They have great balance, and I really like the rollerball ink.

The problem? The enamel has basically melted off each pen from the heat of my hand this summer. I thought it might just be an isolated one time thing, but after putting the second pen into daily use, it did the very same thing.

The enamel bubbles, peels off and gets generally distorted to the point the pen looks horrible.

Question: Works- but it's not the best

I guess you get what you pay for. Works fine for limited uses. Something in the cable connection confuses the keyboard sustain pedal with an E4. It was definitely the cable, using a higher-priced cable fixed my issue. I know other people have had this issue with cheaper cables. If you want to sustain- don't use this. If you don't plan on using a sustain pedal, I would definitely buy this over the pricier cables.

Another five-star read from Tana French. Authentic emotions, characters and dialogue. Wonderfully mysterious. Deftly woven story, which carefully unwinds. Elegantly dark and brooding with a measure of wry wit; in otherwords quintessentially Irish. I give few books 5 stars, but I savor these books.

a bout like every other mole production the market - just handed my money and let the moles run free

Had a little trouble out of the box getting the update.  The system just locked up and sat there for more than 30 minutes without any progress.  I found some troubleshooting advice on line and decided to do the push-button reset.  I just needed to find a pin small enough to fit in the very small hole but it did work as expected.  I have had no further problems since we turned it on Valentines day 2017.  We set the frame to wake up when we enter the room and it goes to sleep if we leave the room for more than 10 minutes.  I will try to attach a photo showing the push-button reset hole.  It is the hole nearest the DC power input.

Question: Fun Read, Alternate dimension, friendship, adventure, shadows

Ok, I loved the cover of this book and that is why it found its way into my arms.  How can you not love this dark and mysterious cover and then the title, The Shadow Society?  I was intrigued to read about Darcy and how she could be from two different worlds and that these two worlds had something to do with the Great Chicago Fire.  Darcy doesn't remember her past so it would take some time for her to understand her part and I was willing to spend some time with her understanding what exactly happened to her and her life.  Boy, was I in for an awakening.  First, I haven't read much about alternate dimensions and like Darcy, I was a bit confused but the author did a great job laying everything out for us and Darcy's life was unraveling like a spool of thread.  Darcy life began as a shadow (yes, the black image we all project in sunlight) and lived in the Shadow Society. She had amazing talents but she just did not exercise them for reason you will have to read on your own and later she entered the world of us, humans.  Darcy lived as a human but things started to change for Darcy and a few individuals began to notice her.  The humans and the Shadow Society were not on the best of terms because of past history, so fear was always on everyone's mind. As the shadows approach Darcy and feed her information of what her past was about, Darcy tries to cling onto what she feels is best for her and the future. For Darcy, she is now able to live in both worlds but would she be able to handle the pressure?  She thought she wanted to bring justice but exactly what is "justice?" After reading this book, I will look at shadows differently.

Darcy was a tough girl who wanted to do the best thing but she was torn in to many directions.  Between foster families and schools, she wanted to believe that it would get better so she always had hope, which is what I liked about her.  The book was slow in parts but not enough for me to quit.  I think it was just the details that bogged me down but once the pieces were put into place the ball was rolling and I really enjoyed the book. Romance, suspense, friendship, adventure, and drama rounded out this book.

Great!  Cleared the whole house of aphids et al, (I've got some big hibiscus and citrus trees) and could not even find any dead ladybugs to clean up after!  It is about 9 months since I bought these, and still no bugs.  Maybe they are living in the trees - but who cares if they are this well behaved?

This book is so interesting.  I enjoy reading "Give Me Liberty" and exploring America's road to freedom.  I will recommend this book to anyone that has an interest in learning about America's History.  The timeline feature is very helpful.  I have one concern, however.  Because America's history is a new subject for me, when the author fast forward and rewind through the events, as he explains or draws reference from other events in the book, I am taken back and have to reread to decipher the tangles.

Just remodeled the entire kitchen, and this is my favorite upgrade.  No more banging cupboard doors!

Question: Perfect fit and price was great

Bought this for my 2001 Chevy Silverado 1500. Perfect fit and price was great.

Good rear shocks for work truck. I put them on my 2011 Silverado. They are stout, but the rubber boot that keeps the spring from rubbing on the tube shifted on both of them. Now my truck squeeze like one 20 years older. Currently searching for a solution without replacing them again.

Question: Lack of good fit leads to muffled music

I'd been generally happy with my Motorola SD-H9 bluetooth headset, but was attracted to how this unit folded up into a hard case. That part is fine. What hasn't been fine is how the sound varies every time I put them on, based on how it's fitting into my ears. Sometimes the sound is fine, sometimes it's muffled, and I haven't yet found any way of getting that to be consistently good. Most bluetooth headsets have some options that allow adjustment in fit, but that isn't true for this unit. It may work very well for some, but unfortunately not for me.

I have tried several different brands and they all only last 6-8 months before they become uncomfortable and start to break down. This chair is sturdy as a rock and very comfortable after a couple months. It was much easier to assemble too as most of it come pre-assembled.

Question: It is a dark place to be when you are being ruled by your addictions!

Being in recovery for drug and alcohol addiction myself for 27 years, I was drawn into this story riding on my own experiences of the chaos and obsession, BUT...I found this was becoming redundant after a certain point well into the book and it felt as if it was going nowhere slowley. I am certain this woman, the character had some experience in the world of addiction and how your life is railroaded by yourself. I just thought it was drawn out far to long with the same basic experiences occuring again and again with different dressings, so to speak. It is hard to keep anyones attention at least it does mine, when this happens with a story. 3 Stars is all I can squeeze out for this book.

Excellent resource for those studying the Art of Kyuki-Do!! I found this to be not only very helpful from a technical pov, but it also gave me more insight on the bunkai of the art.

Question: very, very poor design

<input type="hidden" name="" value="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/A1OClZbB32S.mp4" class="video-url"><input type="hidden" name="" value="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/A1bX43RkGPS.png" class="video-slate-img-url"> I purchased this for a thai style heavy bag and it really did not do a great job supporting the weight and stabilizing the bag. The hanger design that uses one beam/joist can not support the bag because there is too much sway and the bolts loosen at the pivot point and screws loosen in the ceiling. No matter how tight the bolts are the bag will sway too much because of the design, there is no support and the base is not wide enough to get good stability. I upgraded to the promounting mount and it is a amazing how much better your training sessions get when you are not afraid to really hit the bag without worrying about the hanger breaking.

Great picture great sound headphones work great installing is not that bad I did it myself.

Question: i recommend this Thermite

A good knife solid build, blade a bit long you may want to check if it is legal to carry in your state. very high quality, sharp blade.

I don't know why some people complain on here about this scanner really. It's straight forward to install and install the drivers (better leave the CD and get the latest drivers from Epson web site, especially if you are running Windows 10 like I do), really easy to use with a not too invasive bundle program.
The program has some tools for beginner and expert users as well, and is really easy to use straight after installation. If you have Photoshop, you can also scan directly within the program, which is really convenient. The scanner is also pretty fast at scanning pictures and SUPER fast with documents.
Only tiny down side is that it does not have a power OFF/ON button. So if you are not using it, you have to unplug it from the USB cable to keep it off.
Overall, VERY happy with it, which definitely beats my old Cannon scanner.
Useful info to consider if you have limited space on your desk like myself. Actual scanner dimension are 14.5" (length) X 9.5" (width) X 1.5" (height)

Question: One of the best series I ever read!

One of those series that you definitely can not put down! Always leaves you wanting more in a good way. I've read all the books and love them. Definitely a must read.

I wanted to love this book. It jumped off of my pile of shortlisted Booker Prize nominees and demanded to be read first. Everything about it shouted "Yes, it's literature, but IT's FUN." The premise is that of a classic picaresque novel -- Charlie and Eli Sisters, two professional assassins in 1850 are sent by their employer to hunt down and kill Herman Kermit Warm who may, or may not, have stolen something. In the course of their journey from Oregon to California, at the height of the gold rush, they meet a panoply of misfits and losers who provide a steady stream of often humorous incidents that help to explicate the brother's relationship.  Add to this set-up, a narrative voice, provided by Eli, the younger of the two gunslinging brothers, Eli, that has a deadpan simplicity that is oddly appealing.  And, it is worth noting, it has the best cover I've seen in a long time.

With so much going for it, why doesn't Patrick deWitt's novel deliver? Ultimately it is a failure to integrate the disparate events into a cohesive plot or arc for character development. Things happen and some of them are funny, but they don't lay the groundwork for growth in Eli's character that the form demands. It doesn't help that once the brothers find their target that the plot twist that leads to the climax of the book is singularly flat and generates no tension. It also didn't help that there are historical incongruities (particularly around the state of dentistry) that are jarring and out-of-place. Even in a story that in no way purports to be realist, realistic details would help to sustain the truth that can be found in absurdity. deWitt is a talented writer, and while I don't think he shouldn't win the Booker for this outing, I do look forward to seeing what he comes up with next.

Question: This Movie Was Made When America Still Had a Space Program

This Movie Was Made When America Still Had a Space Program.

This movie was made in 1965.  The USA was well on the way to landing a man on the moon.  So the trip to Mars depicted in this film was placed in 1975, which was a reasonable expectation at the time.

This is a pretty good B-movie. Not particularly scary, as the cover and name would imply.

What Albom has done is to help us see that even the most seemingly meaningless life is precious, valuable and worthwhile. He illuminates a fundamental question that troubles us all by skillfully blending artful narrative with essential characters, whose lives and feelings and intentions mirror our own. When Eddie meets those whose lives he has touched, his insight becomes our own. We are not conceived in sin. We are not born in sin. We are not sinful, shameful and disgusting by definition. In fact, what we discover in these few pages is that we are luminous beings, eternal in nature and perfect in shape, form and purpose for our time on earth. It is small wonder that Mitch sells so many books - his work is essential to healing the woundedness that typifies the Flatland we all live in. Kudos to Mr. Albom. A lovely piece of work.

Question: These serve their purpose but don't glide across the floor ...

These serve their purpose but don't glide across the floor as the pads that come with the mop do. I still use them but I need to put a little more muscle into my mopping.

A reader of Fitzgerald will not be surprised of the themes or characters they find in this book.  Here is a writer who worked out the demons of his own life, on the page, for all of us to watch.  He showed us the bright light of the beautiful people that draws us close like moths at night, and the inevitable shabbiness and death of the real light of next morning.

Here, as begun in "This Side of..." and ended in "Tender is..." is Fitzgerald's complicated struggle with art and love and fame.  We see him force his characters to deal with the things he could not resolve in his own life:  the battle with writing, and the causes of his block, the ever-present spectre of infidelity, the loss of youth, and finally, madness.  We experience as he experienced, the great lie of a golden age.

I can't say this was my favorite among his works, but I think it certainly sets the stage for his later works and is clearly a place where he was working on that lyric style he so perfected in "Gatsby" and "Tender is..."  It is not a place to start reading Fitzgerald but offers the fan something worth their time.

Was very pessimistic about how good this game would be after playing the demo but wow was I wrong, this is the best Doom game since the original, totally worthy to carry the name DOOM, far better than Destiny or Halo in my opinion, I cannot stop playing it.

This film suffers from a level of amateurism that makes it unwatchable. This is sad given how terrific other films from Africa are and especially given the level of talent there.  Tough to ignore such bad directing.
