Question: Southern Gothic for teens

The only thing that ever seems different to Ethan Wate about live in the small Southern town of Gatlin are the crazy dreams he has that are so real he often wakes with mud under his nails, until, that is, Lena Duchannes starts school. The niece of the town recluse, Macon Ravenwood, Lena is like nothing Gatlin has ever seen, and only Ethan seems to find that something to like. He's inexplicably drawn to her, and as the two grow closer, they discover they may be tied by more than just Ethan's crazy dreams. There's a lot more to Gatlin than the stereotypical Southern-fried town.

I'm not sure whether the authors meant for the book to be as laugh-out-loud funny as I found it at points, but I have met people who are a lot like the inhabitants of Gatlin, and the stuck-in-the-Civil-War-era mentality had me laughing until I cried at points. It may seem overly stereotypical, but if you have spent time in the small-town South, you have met at least some people who resemble some of the outlandish denizens ofBeautiful Creatures' town.

The mystery and the mythology of the book are fascinating, and worth the Harry Potter-doorstop-like size of the book, long for the genre. The action kept the pace moving, and at no point did it feel like it was an infodump, although once I was assessing the book to review, I realized how much mythology had to be crammed in there without it feeling like a lesson to the readers.

The romance between Lena and Ethan was sweet, but often frustrating, sometimes sticking to the tried-and-true young-adult tropes of angst under the guise of "I'll protect you from myself" which were the only parts of the book I could find any fault with.

I look forward to reading the next book in the series.

This is a great product for bakers who need to grease and flour a pan.  Much quicker, and the baked products come out of the pan more easily as well.  Delighted to find it on amazon, since my local grocery has stopped carrying it.

Question: Good with the N600 netgear router/modem

I bought this to go with my N600 Netgear Router, WNDR3700(which I love btw), and have not had any problems with it. It seemed to keep up with the speeds, although 10MB/s is not hard to keep up with these days.

It installed easily and fit onto my PC no problem.

The most recent issue, which is why its only getting 4/5 stars, is after coming home from college I tried to use it with my parents older Netgear router. Some white one, not sure of the actual product number. The router is in the basement and I am on the second floor and I could not get a good connection which resulted it slow internet speeds. It would frequently drop the signal and have to reconnect. This was most frustrating 15mins in to an online game and have to reconnect. Luckily I came across a 100-something foot ethernet cord and connected my PC that way.

I have not lost hope yet, though as it worked very nicely with my N600. My router is also a modem which is why I could not connect it at my parents house.

On my first dismantling of a Wii I didn't have the proper tools so I opened it with a screw driver I filed down and a Spackle knife needless to say that Wii is now held together by electrical tape, and fully functioning, so after that experience I needed a tri-tip screw driver set.

A must have for anyone working on either a Wii or DS. Did the job wonderfully without stripping the screws. I have now used this set to repair several Wii's and DS's. My only complaint is that the set could use one slightly larger phillips head as well.

Question: Expensive but good quality.

My 7 year old loves these! Expensive but good quality.

Good, inexpensive replacement for the cylinder of an old Yale night-latch, for which the keys have long since gone missing.  It required that I bore the hole in the door out a little, but that was easy with a cheap hole saw bit.  This lock has a Quickset keyway, as the label states.  If you get additional keys made, make sure that a Quickset blank is used, and not something else suggested by a machine.

Question: You better to buy and plastic one for the same price

$35 for that... My biggest regret since I'm on Amazon. My phone felt 3 times and the lenses aren't stable. You better to buy and plastic one for the same price...

I've had these boots for about a year now and I love them, I'm a little hard on shoes so I'm deffinitely buying another pair for backup this year. I wore these all last winter and they help up  great! Only one sign of wear and tear on my pair(a little wearing on the back right heel, just because I'm rough on shoes and wore these when I worked in retail last winter) but even after being in storage they look great. They fit as expected so just order what you would normally fit into regularly. TIP: I live where the weather is unpredictable, so of course it can rain for days on end if it wants. Buy some Rain&Stain shoe protectant($5 at Payless) and you'll never have to worry about them!

My daughter (almost 8) had a lot of fun putting this together and coming up with "rooms" and making furniture.  It's a little flimsy when all together, which I hadn't expected, but overall really fun.  If there were a few more of the long pink pieces, then the floors would be more sturdy--maybe if we get another different set she can mix and match.  She loved hooking up the electric fan and making it spin.  We have Goldieblox too, and she liked this as much, if not more.  Overall, a fun building toy, and great for her to "think outside the box" since there are no set instructions.  It's tough to get the paper to fit in like it shows in the picture--it's much more loose, but it could be taped I guess.  I think she'll have fun with this for a long time.

As all other reviews state, this boot is high quality, but runs a 1/2 to full size too big. I ordered 3 pairs. One in my normal size of 10.5, a 10 and a 9.5. The 9.5 fit length wise perfectly, but was a bit tight across the width in front, so I kept the 10.  Very comfortable boot.

Question: Front cover deformed on two examples

My DX cover was deformed, with a large hump on the right and one on the bottom so that it would not lie flat.  Amazon replaced it very promptly but the second cover was also deformed.  It was not nearly as bad as the first one but it still is noticeably wrinkled, and it looks silly.  The photos on the Amazon site show that it should lie flat.  I think for a cover this expensive that better quality control and design are needed.

fit right in my laptop, I did have to change the faceplate. no big deal. arrived on time and was well packed for shipping. happy with this purchase.

First, this book is amazing!!!! E.K, Blair has truly done it again with Bang!!! Throughout this book I went through so many different emotions. I can't lie parts of this book were so hard to get through that I actually had to take a breather for a bit before I continued. But that was one of the best parts of this book because it brought true emotions to the surface! I can't wait to see how this series continues. I highly recommend that people read this book because it is captivating and amazing!!! Again get ready to feel so many different emotions while reading. It's a mind F***!

Question: Updated from 3-5 stars - if dog urine is causing spots in your grass, this is your answer.

I said that I'd update the review after a few more weeks if I noticed any difference. I'm moving my review from 3-5 stars.  I'll keep it simple.  It takes about 10 days to really notice the difference. That's likely related more to the grass than anything else. But we dropped these in the dogs water and while at first it looked like it didn't make a difference ( we couldn't tell if it was possibly because our neighbor's dogs were doing it) we put on the doggy cams and confirmed they weren't.  The spots started to fade and within 14 days you wouldn't have ever known that was our 4 legged family''s de factor restroom.

Not everyone cares that much about their grass and of those that do, only a certain portion of those people will have a problem with dog urine ruining the grass. If however you are one of those people - you'll like this product.  And while our vet wasn't overly familiar with it, she said it looked safe, we noticed no adverse effects on the dogs (yes, I realize they might not show immediately but the product has been tested and shown to be safe) and it worked.

Worked perfectly in my 2005 BMW X5. I'm not particularly mechanically inclined, but it took me all of two minutes to replace them on both sides - honestly I spent longer ordering them on my computer than I did installing them. Required no tools at all. Huge savings from having the dealership do the same thing.

Question: Excellent power source on the go.

The New Trent PowerPak 11.0 has a nice feel and design to it, but slightly heavier than I anticipated.  It has been used to charge iPhones 4 & 5, iPad 4th Generation, and a Kindle.  It does an amazing job charging my smartphone with one port and the iPad with the other port.  I have charged both devices together and individually and it work wonderfully.  The PowerPak 11.0 works flawlessly when traveling.  On a recent trip in didn't have to worry about finding a charging station at the airport.  I just pulled out my trusty PowerPak and I was all set.  The Powerpak works well around the house, the office but especially comes in handy when you are traveling and don't have easy access to an outlet.  I am a consultant and travel regularly and now I never need to worry about a dead battery on my smartphone.

The material was better then I expected, but definitely not a high quality.  I've read many reviews on amazon on different sellers pages with this same outfit stating that the fit is small so I got a medium. I usually wear small (size 4). The bottom part of the jumpsuit fit perfect, the top is a little big so I will have to get it tailored. I added a gold belt and over all I think it looks cute! The pants are shorter then expected, I'm only 5'4" and they hit above my ankle.

If i had not just completed reading the Lincoln's Avengers book by Dr. Leonard, I probably would have given this book 5 stars.  There definitely is a lot of information in this book..  But there is also a lot of overlap with the Avengers book, which to me begs the question of why not try to separate these books more.  Evidently she became so involved with the research from the first book that she wanted to do another on Holt,  But the overlap bothered me in the reading.

Product is exactly as described.  Works well. I've been using this for shabu shabu. Can get paper thin slices with the blade that is included, you just need to freeze the item prior to cutting and then be patient during the cutting process.

This stuff worked very well.  Easy to use, one bottle lasted 2 weeks for 3 of us (and we still have not used it all).  You really don't have to use much to clean your mask lens and keep the mask from fogging up.  I was very happy with the product.

I am hopeful for the larger size.

Question: Great for those who like condescending, chauvinistic men

I looked at the reviews for this book, and figured I'd give it a shot, since it's free. I try to give books a few chapters before making any judgments because some stories take a while to get going or pull me in. With this book, however, I stopped at that point. Almost from the moment he's introduced, the best friend/love interest made me want to tell him off. He was possessive, entitled, and chauvinistic--all qualities we want in our men, right ladies? Based on all the high reviews, I can only hope things get better, although I couldn't stand it long enough to find out.

I wanted a high resolution projector and did not want to spend a huge amount of money at the same time.  this one is HD (1920x1080), supports wireless display and supports display of two different PCs at the same time.

I was concerned if the projector would be bright enough with lights right above the screen and that all people could easily see the screen.  It was in ECO-mode and it was still bright enough to easily see.

this is not the smallest projector but I feel it is very nice, easy to use and worth the money

This was a great book. The author shares his wonder years growing up in the 1970"s in greenpoint brooklyn with such detail and color that you are there with him in all of his boyhood experiances. I grew up in Greenpoint in the 50's and 60's and it was like reading a carbon copy of my life. Tom has a great writing style,it's descriptive and colorful without dragging the story. I will be reading it again tonight.. it feels like I was sitting at a table at my house at 79 greenpoint ave reminisceing the past with my family and friends. You don't know what you were missing if you grew up in the suburbs. I have such nostalgia and it felt like I was there once again playing Stick ball roller skating eating a slice of pizza or knishes roaming "the avenue" with my friends. i can still see it in my minds eye. Thank you tommie for bringing me home for a great visit. I will  be waiting on your next book

This dress did not have nearly the amount of structure and shape that is shown in the picture on the model. It fits and wears very much like a pretty night gown. The elastic is just under the bust and curves around creating a very loose and frumpy line. There is certainly none of the definition on the sides that is shown in the picture. The shade of purple was vibrant but much lighter than shown. I considered keeping it as a night gown with pockets but I would probably never wear it. Back it goes.

Question: Beware: Not a "pair"!!!!!!!

Like others I expected two wheels based on the word "pair" on the photo. I've been a Prime Member since it's inception and I'm very unhappy with the marketkng of this product. I hope this was a mistake and not an indication of things to come with our $20 increase.

Sometimes, a pretty boy actor doesn't get interesting until he's developed a few more wrinkles on his face, gravitas on his mug, suggesting a life having lived. Of late, Matthew McConaughey has been dismissed by naysayers as a good-looking huckster, grinning that toothy grin, flexing those ripped abs. And he hasn't done himself any favors with his recent cinematic outings (GHOSTS OF GIRLFRIENDS PAST, really?). THE LINCOLN LAWYER, adapted from Michael Connelly's novel, should get his critics off his back some. It's a corker of a legal thriller, and McConaughey hasn't been this watchable in years.

McConaughey plays Mick Haller, Los Angeles's slickest criminal defense attorney, the sort of sleazy legal practitioner that Atticus Finch longs to take behind the woodshed. Mick, who works out of the back seat of his classic Lincoln Town Car, has sold out a long time ago. He doesn't give an ef if a guy is guilty or not as long as the money's good. He lists on his rolodex some of L.A.'s shadiest lowlifes. Although, this time out, he's landed a posh client (Ryan Phillippe) accused of assault and attempted murder, except that this uppercrust young gent claims his innocence. But they all say they're innocent, ain't that so? Mick Haller regards this as a slam-dunk case. The rest of us know better. Strap in for a rollercoaster ride of ruses, runarounds, and reversals.

It's a solid supporting cast. I am so glad Marisa Tomei got cast instead of some vapid model-type. Tomei is a real-looking woman and beautiful. She plays Mick Haller's fierce rival in court, a tough prosecutor as well as his ex-wife and the mother of his daughter. When the chips are down, she becomes Mick's most steadfast anchor. William H. Macy again makes lemonade out of lemon with his otherwise-would've-been-blah part of Mick's investigator. John Leguizamo does his usual squirrelly thing as a bail bondsman who tips off Mick to this plum case (but even that's a lie). In just a few short scenes Michael Pea provides one of the film's most sobering moments as he transitions from Mick's weepy panic-struck client to a hardened, dead-eyed convict. Josh Lucas, whom I always regarded as something of a McConaughey look-alike, goes up against McConaughey in court and he's pretty workmanlike, but not bad.

There's enough twisty material here to make you lean into the screen. As Mick unearths deception after deception, he begins to suspect that his rich client may well be guilty (but is he?). One knock against the plot is that it does seem a bit too contrived that one of Mick's old cases happens to tie into this new one. There's a nasty, low-down feel to this story, a scruffy edginess, and it grips you. McConaughey invests a measure of grit and slime into his performance, and I really enjoyed it. Check out his Mick Haller, sly as a serpent, fast-talking, deal-making, working all the angles, scruples gathering dust on the shelf. Except that there may be a twinge of righteousness still left in Mick Haller which might make him turn a corner. Or is that another red herring? THE LINCOLN LAWYER doesn't achieve the heights of THE VERDICT or A FEW GOOD MEN, but it does what it sets out to do. It is a ripping legal thriller and comes at you with attitude. It is hopefully the first in a film franchise. After all, Michael Connelly's written four novels starring our morally grey counselor. And McConaughey's got them wrinkles now. Take advantage of that, yo.

Birnbaum`s has existed now for many years, making their expertise Walt Disney World. I discovered the book in 1994, a bit skeptical that any book could cover all that Walt Disney World contained, I picked the book up, read it and have not missed a copy since. This book does not drop the ball either, being the most extensive volume of Birnbaum`s yet, with all of the new attractions being received from Disneyland`s 50th anniversary, such as Soarin`, and the Auto Stunt Show, expected in the Disney MGM Studios by summer. This book does not slack about any of the attractions, giving in depth explanations of all of them, from Cinderella`s Castle, to Soarin` this book will cover every one of your Walt Disney World whims. Even if you will not be attending Walt Disney World this year I recommend that you pick up this book to see what you are missing, and (get to Walt Disney World as soon as possible.)

Question: For RESPONSIBLE children ONLY and not for CATS

This charger is not cat proof.  The kids left the charger and wire on the floor.  Our cat chewed it up and now it won't work.  Now I'm looking for a charger that picks itself up off the floor or has the ability to run away from the cat at night when we're all asleep or is made of some material from space that a cat can't chew through, but I'm not having any luck.  Oh, it's a great charger.  Perfect for charging the 3DS.  But the box does not contain a warning.  The box should say "For use by RESPONSIBLE children only, who will not leave it laying on the floor randomly around the house.  Not for households with an adult cat going through a second kittenhood phase."  This is clearly Nintendo's fault.

I really had to struggle to finish this book.  I found the narrative to be repetitive and tired of it quickly.  I kept hoping to find a story buried somewhere in here, but never did.  Although there were some humorous events that I found slightly entertaining, they did not make up for the self-serving arrogance of the author and his attempt to bring back glory to the ugliness of combat operations.

Having served with F4 fighter pilots aboard a carrier during the Vietnam campaign, I am familiar with their Right Stuff Die mentality, which is a necessary component of this dangerous trade.  Mr. Hampton however takes this bravado to a whole new level that, in my opinion, adds no value to the book.

Better readings would be Chickenhawk  by Robert Mason or A Higher Call: by Adam Makos and Larry Alexander.

Question: Funny book with British swears

I LOVE this coloring book!  It's relaxing and also hilarious. I'm American so some of the swears are very British sounding to me, but honestly that's part of the charm. I'm considering buying more as gifts for friends!

I am happy I bought this machine as it is well constructed and makes a better cup of espresso than most home machines I've used, but the machine has some drawbacks. It's noisy while brewing, and the sound is something like an electrical surge you hear in a Frankenstein movie or while operating a room-sized Tesla coil. It doesn't bother me, but it might unsettle some tender-hearted folks, or offend those who live to be offended by something. The pod converter for the handle leaks and cannot be manipulated to work because it was made incorrectly and doesn't seat properly like the filter basket does, so unless you are willing to use loose coffee only, skip this machine. The top heats up the cups nicely, and the milk/steam frother is one of the best you can get. You don't need a coffee tamper with this unit, so don't waste your money on one like I did. There's a sort of tamper thing built into the brew dispensing head, and the owner's manual warns against packing the coffee too tightly. 15 bars of pressure dispense a lovely cuppa with a picture perfect crema on the espresso, and contrary to marketing blather, you don't need more than 9 bars of pressure to produce perfect espresso. The boiler heats up quickly and is much better than you can get with any other home consumer product, and it's all stainless construction looks pretty great in your kitchen. You will need a milk frothing pitcher, and for this money, I feel it should've been included, but a 12 ounce pitcher can be had on Amazon for about five bucks. Overall, I would recommend this product despite its few flaws.

Question: "But how can you live without trees?"

Okay, so that's a quote from Fern Gully - but it's what was going through my head over & over as I read this short little book. And wow - for such a short novella, there's a whole lot to think about crammed into those 169 pages.

This is a short sci-fi story about a colonized world and the interactions between humans and the native species. Honestly, my initial reaction to this book was complete disgust. In the beginning, the characters are little more than ridiculous stereotypes on both sides. The humans are portrayed as greedy, violent, "inhuman" overlords who have arrived to rape the planet for all it's worth. They decimate the land through logging and enslave & horrifically abuse the native population, who, in turn, are portrayed as innocent children - small, simple-minded, and so completely pacifist that they cannot comprehend defending themselves. Humans are corrupt, violent and evil, with no regard for life. The Athshe (natives) are peace-loving, pure of heart and mind, and living in complete harmony with nature. Like I said - Fern Gully.

So I wasn't all that impressed to begin with. As others have said, at first the "message" definitely seems heavy-handed and overly preachy, and the way the native people are portrayed as nave, innocent, and child-like (both mentally and physically) was also pretty offensive. It's a superficial representation of colonialism at it's worst, and if you've taken any anthropology or history classes you're probably going to gag (like I did).

HOWEVER - as the story went on, and the two sides go to war with one another, I found the moral and ethical questions LGuin raises to be very compelling. Yes, the humans are portrayed as everything from weak & ineffectual (at best) to horrifically evil (at worst) - and naturally I wanted to object to such over-simplification of a complex situation...but when I stopped and thought about it, there isn't anything in this book that we haven't actually done to each other. We have a terribly long history of violence (as a species), and if Earth was starved for resources as it is in this book, it isn't that unrealistic to see humanity acting the way it does in this book.

So I ended up giving the book 5 stars because by the time I got to the last page I was a little in awe of how skillfully Le Guin managed to creep into my head and make me really think about humanity as a species. How *would* we act if we came across a planet like Athshe? We all assume that by the time we develop space travel we'll be Star Trek-level civilized, but what if we're not? When I stopped thinking of this book as a clichd allegory for colonialism and started thinking of it as a "what-if" scenario, I found it REALLY interesting. In fact, I was STILL thinking about this book days later. The ending itself, and Selver's explanation ("You cannot take things that exist in the world and drive them back into the dream...") - literally walloped me over the head with how profound it was.

So yes, on the surface it's Fern Gully (and Avatar, as others have said), and at first it seems like a very dated, clichd little story. But the moral questions raised are still relevant today, and if you can get past the stereotypes you'll find that this is a complex, thought-provoking little book. Yes, it's preachy, but if we're honest about how we've behaved as a species, then it almost isn't preachy enough.

Interesting, interesting little book. I HIGHLY recommend it!

Like many other reviews this map truly is huge! I don't unfold the whole thing though. If you flip it open with the cover and then just kinda flip through it like a book it works well! Just open to small sections as you need them. I have been using it to plan our trip and it fits in the small file folder thing I'm using for all of the planning. Hopefully as far as road maps it will help if/when GPS fails (since they usually do lol).

Question: Great for replacements of incandescent bulbs.

These lights are great. Used them to replace incandescent patio light bulbs. Very bright and all are still working except for one.  It did not burn out the wire broke in it. These are easy to break so you need to be careful. Works great in AC circuits. If you use in DC circuits you be sure of the polarity. If bulb does not light flip it around.

Great piece.  Came early heavier than expected. Subtle and stylish

Question: Arkansas Razorback Trailer hitch cover

I bought this for my husband's new Nissan Titan. He loves it. ;) It shows school spirit (we don't leave near home; he's military) and fits like a dream. One thing I did not realize the PIN that goes thru the 2 holes in the back to attach this cover to the tow hitch does NOT come with this cover. You must go to Lowe's or Home depot and buy a "pin" get a locking one. They are not too costly I think $15. I took this with me into Home Depot to make sure I got the correct pin size, then attachment to the tow hitch was a breeze. It's never fallen off, rattled, rusted, etc. Looks perfect as it did in the spring when I bought and installed it. Highly recommended. Best price here on amazon.com also!

My guy LOVES this book and I love reading it to him! He says, Momma, read me the funny book!! This book is seriously better than any book with pictures. With having no pictures, you totally make it your own with how you read it. Definitely a timeless book, I look forward to my kids reading it to their kids and so on. Great job, Mr. Novak!

I purchased this for my great-grandsons' 3rd birthday.  The twins now think they are big boys and they take the cups on their travels......wherever that leads them.

A powerful story of revenge from beyond the grave! Starts slow but builds as the evil moves in to their lives until it is overwhelming.  The end is worth the price of admission.

Question: It's pretty good, it's just hard to get the card ...

It's pretty good, it's just hard to get the card out because it's leather. If you're like me and you need to constantly remove the card then I would probably go with something else. On the other hand, if you just need to show the card inside then this would be perfect. Fits a standard ID card while showing enough of the front of it to be useful. I wouldn't buy this again, because it doesn't fit my needs, but I would recommend it to some people if they just need an ID holder.

This speaker is magnificent, I have had it for about 8 months now and the only "issue" is that the max volume might be a little lower than before. That being said, its loud enough so I rarely use max vokume. Respectively, its inexpensive and a great product. It would be nice if it had song changing buttons on it but it does have a really cool app which you can link up speakers to play the same songs or even have multiple people picking songs for it to play!

Question: "...W.B. Yates Knew What He Had To Do..." - Lessons In Love on BLU RAY [aka Some Kind Of Beautiful]

When he's given the right script (and Matthew Newman is the clever scribe whose done the good deed on this one) - Pierce Brosnan can be a joy to watch and shows acting-chops and depth that few critics give him enough credit for.

"Lessons In Love" (called "Some Kind Of Beautiful" in the USA) will probably divide watcher camps - those who loved it - and those who feel it clichd and derivative etc. It's both of course (and more) - but with a cleverly chosen cast all showing actual chemistry together (the stunning Salma Hayek and Jessica Alba in particular) - genuinely zippy moments with a fair share of pure star quality and charm from Pierce and Salma - when "Lessons In Love" is good - it's a lovely watch and a hugely enjoyable one too.

A teacher in Cambridge who specialises in the Romantic Poets - Brosnan's character Richard is an ageing lothario more comfortable bedding his students for short spurts than actually forming a real relationship with them. When his current gorgeous young squeeze of six months blurts out that she's pregnant (Jessica Alba as Kate) - Richard probably regrets the chemistry between him and her older and more suitable sister Olivia (Salma Hayek's character) that he met at a hotel bar by chance. But Richard wants to do the right thing for once - so soon he's committing to the younger-woman relationship with Kate - flying to California to teach and be a Dad - and a year later - is peering down at a beautiful son he thought he'd never have.

Four or five years go by - and although his American students aren't interested in his 'romantic poets' lectures (more worried about their Wi-Fi connection) - at least his relationship with his bubbly young son is flourishing (a fantastically touching turn by young Duncan Joiner as Jake). But that bigger and seriously gorgeous sister chemistry between Richard and Olivia just keeps on interfering and cropping up despite the fact that Olivia says she 'despises' Richard. And maybe younger mummy Kate (Alba) has grown affectionate towards someone else too who isn't British and old like Richard - which will set many relationship cats amongst the wine-drinking pigeons...

The jokes are good - the dialogue is often sharp, brutally honest and life observant (Malcolm McDowell in a wickedly good turn as the curmudgeonly English father who has lived his commitment-free life to a fleshy heathenish excess) and the 'romance will win out in the end' theme runs throughout the story without being overly sappy. You even get the lovely Marlee Martin at an AA meeting. The BLU RAY picture is gorgeous throughout (picturesque British and American locations) - but it's a damn shame that there are little more than chapters and subtitles  a 'Making Of' would have been a nice cherry on the cake here (looks like the whole cast really enjoyed themselves).

Give "Lessons In Love" a punt  a very warm watch indeed. While you're at it check out Pierce's superb finding-love-late-in-life duet with the lovely Swedish actress Trine Dyrholm in the wonderfully touching "Love Is All You Need"  another romantic story for persons of a certain age...

This was great!  A really good buy.  If you like classic science fiction you have to read this!

The author writes like the classic science fiction you find in the older sci-fi fantasy magazines.  The characters were well written and the stories left me wanting more.  I especially liked the stories Hertz, Sparrows and the story about Death!  These are must reads.

I hope this writer keeps on writing.  I can't wait to read more.

Question: Butterfly is beautiful!

A truly beautiful book! The illustrations are so clear and beautiful!  A book for both adults and children to enjoy together. A beautiful present for a lucky young person and for Grabdma, Grandpa or parents to share.

Ordered it on Black Friday morning after buying an iPad mini the day before. They offer free shipping, I'm thinking I'll get it in a week or so like other free and usually slow shipping. Wrong, Monday morning at 11AM it's in my mailbox. It came First Class Mail and the distance from the sender is over 1000 miles. Great shipping and delivery by USPS!
 I scanned a bar code that came in the package and it brought up a 4 minute u-tube video, good instructions also. I would recommend doing the install in bright light or by a window, you can see bubbles and dust much better.
 Screen protector is real clear and should work well and the install was easy. Follow instructions and the install is easy.

Question: One of my most treasured albums

Tonite I'm listening to my most treasured albums from the 70s and this is at the top. It is a wonderful journey, beautifully written and performed, an ageless and still very contemporary story. When I was a group therapist, I often used it in my sessions. As a sailer and water person, it resonates so well with my experiences. In my life when I would get down, I often pulled it out and it always pulled me up and gave me hope for the future. A real gem!

I purchased this item according to reviews I read that gave measurement and size advice. The suit is cute and seems well made, however I have a long torso and ordered a medium (I am 5'5" 155lb and a 36C) it was indeed not long enough to wear comfortably. I have returned the medium and ordered a large hoping that will be more comfortable.

Doesn't compare to the real deal. The blade is way too thin, allowing it to flex, and doesn't give it enough weight to carry any chopping force on such a short blade

It did go on easily and came nicely packed. However, it was so dark that I had to put the brightness on 100% to see anything. It zapped the battery, which made me promptly remove it.

This item's colors match those of my vehicle, for an added bonus. Get one, you won't be sorry.

Great price for a decent vise. I got exactly what I expected and this will work fine for my needs. A++++

Question: Knocks other brewers off the counter

I bought this on a recommendation from some office mates when I complained that my Keurig machine brewed weak coffee. I ordered it straight away and couldn't be happier.

What I like about it:
* Super easy cleanup, including the S Filter Rinse and you're done.
* Strong brew with the inverted method, no bitter coffee taste.
* Quick setup and clean time.  After the water is brought to temperature, Brewing and cleanup takes about 6 minutes.
* I no longer waste money and plastic on those little k-cups
* Small footprint - I can get rid of my Keurig machine and save space on my counter.

What I don't like about it:
* The plastic is pretty opaque, it's difficult to see what the water line is at through the plastic.
  - Eventually you get used to how much water to add and no longer need to look through the plastic for a measurement, so this problem goes away after experience, but would still be better for visitors who I'm trying to get to like the brewer, just adds a step of complexity.

Very easy to setup and use.  I've had it only a week but I've already forgotten that it's here (because it's working).

Question: Couldn't stop laughing!

I read Kate Beaton's work online at harkavagrant.com, so I wasn't sure if the book would be something that was truly necessary for me to purchase. Luckily, it kept me laughing all the way through!

Personally, I think the cover screams 'chick lit' until you realize that the 'necklace' is a smear of blood. Still, it does not allude to the mystical aspects of the story at all, instead looking like many other works of historical fiction.
 Mostly, the story is about a young man raised by a dwarf (no not like a magical one) who can move objects without touching them. The young man, named Yann, also has supernatural talents - he can read minds and throw his voice. They are both performers, working for a likable but stupid 'magician' who is really only an actor. When the magician is murdered by a mysterious nobleman, Yann and his mentor flee. A girl with a limp helps them; her name is Sido the neglected daughter of an aristocrat. Both of them will remember this night, even though they won't see each other again for years. Yann travels to England, where he becomes the adopted child of English aristocrats and forgets his magical abilities (which have been dormat since the murder). When he learns of the family's connection to Sido, and her engagement to the murderer, Yann learns the use of magical abilities he didn't before posess, and goes back to the city that was once his home. The book begins when Yann is fourteen, however the last half occurs when he's seventeen, so no this isn't a book about pre-teens. Also there is very little romance, none at all till the last half of the book, and then not much. That's not bad because the book is so much more about adventure and magic. It's just that it is advertised as romance.
 The mystery is of course, why was there a murder? What did the magician and the dwarf know? Well it's pretty easy to put together as you read the book, and events seem a little too coincidental. However the plot is well supported and the characters well written. This story is definantly about Yann and not so much about Sido. I think she needs more development as a character. I like the gypsy magic Yann uses and how it is used on stage. The story is very exciting, bringing to life perfectly the horror of the revolution without ever overdoing it. Gardner does a great job showing how brilliant ideas and the realization that change was needed became a blood bath that didn't improve the living of or give freedom to people.
Definantly not chick lit or a run of the mill historical novel! Recommended for anyone who likes history, mystery, and adventure.

Question: good information on how to manage disruptive technologies

this book provided a lot of helpful hints on how companies should manage disruptive technologies.  Christensen goes through several industry examples on how new technologies upended large companies, and in every case, the upended company knew about the new technology and made efforts to capitalize on it, but their efforts were fruitless.  Christensen goes through these examples and provides insights on how to build for disruptive technologies.  In the end, the answer is - large companies can't - they either need to buy the technology and let it sit outside the company, or, conversely, spin off a new division that can think small and work with a different mind set.  The examples he provides obviously prove his point.

One downside to this book - it was very boring.  The lessons are invaluable but he spends too much time, IMO, with charts and graphs explaining the industry size, margins, rate of improvement, etc..  This was a tough one to get through.

The Jefferson Airplane were formed in 1965 in San Francisco by Paul Kantner and Marty Balin. Eight years later, in 1973, the Airplane lost fuel and disbanded. They reformed briefly from 1989-1990, but since the retirement of Grace Slick in early 1990 from the music industry, the Airplane is no more. The band are R&R Hall of Famers, and are an incredibly legendary band, a huge part of the Summer of Love in 1967.

Since they are so legendary, RCA Victor Records, their record label, have released countless compilations dating back to 1970. We have 'The Best of Jefferson Airplane.' We have 'Early Flight' (which is a good rarities album and is becoming quite rare, but that's another story). We have 'Somebody To Love.' The list goes on and on and on.

And there's 'Greatest Hits,' the product being reviewed here. It only gets 2 stars. Why, you may ask? Read on.

Well, I'll start with the positives. Every song here is worthy of 1,000,000+ stars. 'Embryonic Journey,' guitarist Jorma Kaukonen's instrumental finger picking classic, is here, and sounds quite good too (courtesy of the exceptional remastering job done by BMG, which owns RCA). 'Somebody to Love' is here, as is 'White Rabbit,' 'Comin' Back to Me,' and 'Crown of Creation,' among others. It's a decent entry point if you are a new Airplane fan, or if you are the "very" casual Airplane fan who only cares about hearing 'Somebody to Love' and 'White Rabbit' in the car.

Otherwise, it's weak and quite lacking.

First, WHY DOES THIS ALBUM STOP AT 1969? The Airplane didn't "crash" until 1973. That means, nothing from 'Bark' or 'Long John Silver' or represented. Sure, while these albums are certainly not the best albums in the Airplane canon, they are often neglected and ignored by the general public, a real shame considering there is some good stuff to offer from those albums. 'Eat Starch Mom,' 'Pretty As You Feel,' 'Third Week in the Chelsea,' 'Long John Silver' and 'Twilight Double Leader' all would fit here quite nicely, and yet, they are neglected on this compilation as they frequently are.

And, since this collection only spans 1966-1969, it should be noted that there is plenty missing. While I applaud RCA for including album tracks like 'Come Up the Years' and 'Watch Her Ride,' that's also part of the problem. THERE AREN'T ENOUGH ALBUM TRACKS!!! Why stop there? 'Eskimo Blue Day,' 'Wooden Ships,' 'Lather,' 'She Has Funny Cars' and 'The Last Will of the Castle' all would fit perfectly with the other album tracks that are already represented.

And finally, the last flaw to the disc is that it is just too short. It's not even 40 minutes in length, meaning many of the songs I have mentioned in the last two paragraphs could easily fit here and thus make it a definitive Airplane "greatest-hits" album.

Overall, 'Greatest Hits' is just a repackaging of the 2003 album 'Platinum & Gold Collection.' The only thing is, unlike 'Platinum & Gold,' 'Greatest Hits' puts the songs in chronological order, starting in 1966 and ending in 1969. If you own 'Platinum & Gold Collection,' you already own this album. Just a note for neophytes and/or Airplane collectors.

I can recommend this album to new Airplane fans or very casual Airplane fans who just want to hear 'Somebody to Love' and 'White Rabbit' again. Otherwise, just buy the studio albums individually. It's much more expensive, but believe me, it is worth every cent. The Airplane is such a legendary band, and that is the way the Airplane was meant to be listened to.

These are great.  Maintaining a pool couldn't be easier than with this system.  I wish I'd have switched much sooner.  I have it on a 24' round and it has no trouble keeping pace.  You do have to clean the plates every few weeks, and white vinegar in a glass for a couple of hours makes easy work of that too.

Question: Is not odorless. False advertising.

This is false advertising. There is no such thing as odorless dmso. Take a teaspoon of this and drink it in distilled water. I can guarantee you will leach an onion smell or oyster smell from your body. You will walk around all day smelling like onions radiating from your body. So I don't know what all these reviews are talking about saying it is odorless. My friend drank a teaspoon of this and bought it to avoid smelling like onions instead it did the exact same thing that all dmso does, it makes people smell. She radiates the usual smell that all dmso causes. They need to rename this as it is false advertising. Dont believe me drink a teaspoon of it in distilled water and wait an hour and come around your friends. You will suddenly hear, "what is that smell". She took it last night and still she is radiating the smell this morning. I came in last night and said do you smell that? And she said what. I said it smells like onions or garlic and she said she drank a teaspoon of the supposed odorless dmso. Lies. There is no such thing as odorless dmso if you are taking it internally.

Question: Clever Title Belongs on a Better Book

The introduction chapter to the book warns,

"...caution is warranted about drawing hasty conclusions from a body of research still in its infancy."

That same introduction hastily concludes,

"I believe that the new wave of cognitive research actually undercuts a great deal of self-help advice, and will continue to do so in the years ahead by showing just how vacuous, groundless, and fraudulent much of that advice really is.  The fog of misunderstanding about the brain and mind has allowed self-help snake oil to flow with impunity for decades..."

Snake oil? fraudulent? vacuous? groundless?  It isn't clear what DiSalvo finds so offensive about the genre to attack it with emotionally charged words.  So what books are more worthy of your attention?  DiSalvo takes time to defend his childhood hobby of Dungeons and Dragons for being unfairly maligned.

The book is a collection of studies, anecdotes, and stories.  I had previously heard of some of the studies, such as rats preferring a button hooked up to the pleasure center of their brain over food, sleep, etc.  Most of the studies were new to me, and several of them are useful.  The book isn't clear on whether many of the anecdotal stories are fiction. If the best support for a point is fictional then fine, but introduce it as such.

The book does not deliver on its title but it does cite a number of studies that have value.

The illustrations are absolutely beautiful(and accurate) and the paper quality is nice and thick with a somewhat slick surface so no bleed through with your water based typical markers. There is some bleed through with alcohol based markers like spectrum noir, but the bleed through isn't as bad with a light touch and few layers. The illustrations are so beautifully detailed and delicately drawn that it almost seems sacrilege to color them by my crude hands.

Question: National Wildlife Federation Field Guide to Birds of North America

I like this field guide much better than Audubon.  The raptors, for instance have a page that shows how they look in flight from underneath...how we most view them...which makes them much easier to identify.  Also, I found birds in this guide, such as the Eurasian Collared Dove, which are not in the Audubon Guide.  Would recommend this guide as a must for every birder's library.

Was not as supportive or snug fitting as I wanted. Also don't really see any real benefit. I think the whole copper laced items deal may be more of a psycho-somatic hype more than anything.

This also fits my seasame butter (aka Tahini) jars!! Hooray! Tahini used to upset me even more than peanut butter :-) No longer.

Absolutely a must for dry-fire training to set par times.  Adds both a challenge and a reference for determining progress - and, for me, makes dry-fire enjoyable when a benchmark is available.

Question: " How does it happen that a whole family simply disappears from a safe and happy neighborhood? Kristen's estranged husband Paul

"The missing, the hidden, the murdered, and the otherwise lost never get to tell their sides of the story. It's the last and sometimes cruelest injustice."
How does it  happen that a whole family simply disappears from a safe and happy neighborhood?
 Kristen's estranged husband Paul, no longer lives with Kristen and the twins. He cannot imagine where his family is when he goes to visit one day and sees the window broken, and his family gone.
Or.... does he already know what happened to his family?
This is a well written novel that will keep you wondering right up to the last page. The characters are amazing and you can truly feel their frustration and emotions as this mystery continues.

I really enjoy this movie and have watched it about 30 times.

Question: Great introduction......

The Complete Tutankhamun by Nicholas Reeves proves to be a great introductory book on the discoveries made by Howard Carter in 1922. The book covers the history surrounding Tutankhamun during his time and the reasoning why his tomb was overlooked. But the book centered around Howard Carter whose tireless efforts finally paid off and his parton, Lord Carnarvon who financed and supported Carter. There are sections for each part of the tomb and what treasures were found there. There is a lot of information in this book on the content of the treasures that have gained so much attention since it revealation. The coverage of the book is pretty complete although as one previous reviewer wrote that there isn't much in terms of analysis or insight in this book But I thought that part may be left to other books since this book is your basic but very complete coverage of the discoveries of Tomb of Tutankhamun.

The book proves to be well written and easy to read for any one who may be interested in this subject. The author obviously have great command of the subject matter and wrote in a matter that is easy to understand. There are enough photos and illustrations in this book to dazzled most readers although I wished there were more color photos. The book was published in 1990 so it doesn't includes some of the new insights into the real Tutankhamun or his treasures that came out in the past 17 years. But within the context of this book, maybe that may not be so important.

But overall, this is an highly informative book that should interest anyone who have any interest in this subject or history of ancient Egypt.

I bought these for my daughters wedding. They worked perfect and was the right size to put on the seven tiered cupcake holder.

Question: Just bad construction.

My husband was so unhappy with these, we returned them. Neither one seem to be on the right foot. Just bad construction.

These are great.  I use them to bring home groceries mostly.  They hold the equivalent of about three grocery bags full.  Pretty sturdy.

Giving this 1 star because it doesn't work.  I had what I knew was a ground loop issue in my living room.  Bought this but got nowhere.  Frustrating.  Bought a similar product at best buy and instantly eliminated the humming.  Maybe I got a defective one but this didn't work

There are two things I do not like about this charger: the first is that it does not charge, and the second is that there is a LED light on there when you plug it in that glows in the dark and disturbs my sleep.

Question: Good Washington guide

Concise and easy to use with a wealth of information to make the most of your visit to Washington.  I particularly like the tear-out capitol area map with the metro train scheme included.  Lots of internet links, too.

The sour mix itself is wonderful.  In my opinion, it is MUCH better than the competition.  The problem is, the bottles (all 12 of them) expire in 2 months.  If you are buying this for a bar or restaurant and use 6 bottles a month, then that wouldn't be an issue.  If you are like ME, and plan to use these at home, the short expiration date is definitely a problem.

Question: Great positive read and good discussion.

This is a great book! I saw where it was headed and really enjoyed reading it to my 5 year old. There were some unfamiliar terms like "best foot forward" that gave me the chance to talk with her, and she was really excited to try and be a good ninja herself!

I bought this shredder in April of 2013. Using it in my home mainly for junk mail and personal stuff. It jammed several times during the year, but I carefully messed with it by pulling the papers out and oiling it. One month after the 1 year warranty was up, it stopped pulling paper in on the left side. There was no paper stuck in there so I figured some of the teeth must have given up. Last week I was shredding 1 piece of paper, that the machine folded and jammed .so much, that I could not remove the jammed piece at all, not even after soaking the paper with oil over night. That was the last straw for me ! Out it went to the garbage bin. I can't understand how can you rate so high  this junky piece of irritating machinery ???

Question: Good value for my tiny tower build

Overall a good motherboard. My chief complaint is the lack of power connections for case fans.  I guess they figured this would be going into some cramped cases, so it didn't need more than 1 connection for CPU fan and 1 for case fan.

If you're wanting to put more than 1 case fan in your build, you'll need an adapter to plug the  fans into the power supply.

Question: 1 Year Analysis: Jebao RW Series vs Hydor Koralia Evolution

When shopping for a good circulation pump thats not too expensive for my 75 gallon, i quickly narrowed it down to 2 choices:
Jebao RW Series vs Hydor Koralia Evolution.  I decided to buy one of each.  Now it is 1 year later, so I am reviewing both pumps.

Winner: Hydor Koralia, by a narrow margin

Jebao RW-8
Pros:
Variable Speed settings

Cons:
Significantly louder than the Hydor Koralia 1400
Very strong current (It has remained on the lowest setting for the past year in my 75 gallon)
Slots in in the pump are large and small fish/snails can get inside (usually only a problem if the pump is temporarily off for feeding)
Power adapter is a box (2"w x 3.5"l x 1"h), whereas Koralia is a normal simple plug

Two discs,78&75 min. each approximately.  Fine sound-warm and clean.  First off,I can't believe that this musician has gone relatively unheard for so long!  He is the consumate "musician's musician".  His tenor sax playing is his own.  The sound isn't really derivitive of anyone.  Monterose professes to like Parker and Coltrane,and you can discern a bit of a Parker sound and maybe even a bit of early Coltrane.  Other than that he forged his own sound.

 Never one to push his talents,Monterose stayed out of the limelight,playing in small out of the way venues for a large part of his professional life.  Perhaps his biggest claim to fame was playing with Kenny Dorham on "'Round About Midnight at The Cafe Bohemia",where Monterose's playing is superb.  On these studio tracks he's accompanied by Tommy Flanagan,George Wallington and Horace Silver on piano,Wilbur Ware,Teddy Kotick and Jimmy Garrison on bass,and Pete La Roca,Nick Stabulas and Philly Joe Jones on drums.  On a few tracks he is accompanied by an unknown group(which he often preferred)consisting of Dale Oehler on piano,Gary Allen on bass,and Joe Abodeely on drums.  Ira Sullivan,the good but not to well-known trumpeter also puts in an appearance.  Jerry Lloyd plays a bass trumpet on two tracks,sounding much like a trombone.  Together,these small group recordings from the fifties and sixties,make up some of the finest jazz that no one has heard.

 When one thinks of "jazz" this is what should be going on inside one's head.  This is intelligent,well thought out music,written(in large part)arranged and played by a man who went his own way.  About half the tracks were written by Monterose with the others being jazz favorites of the time.  This is understated,good music,that doesn't call attention to itself with flash but with well thought out and well played arrangements.  The ballads are some of the finest you will ever hear and the up-tempo tracks are very tight-reminding one of the best Blue Note records from this same era.  This is music that everyone who loves straight ahead jazz needs to have in their collection.  You will find yourself going back to it time and time again-and that's the mark of good jazz.

Question: Adorable pink luggage

I love this luggage. It's very cute and so far durable! The only problem I have is that it gets dirty very easily, but that is to be expected.

i can't believe Levi's put their once good name on this cheaply made and inferior quality product. The denim fabric is very thin, and with that comes the understanding that this fabric, and its seams, cannot possibly hold up to the wear and tear that the old Levi's jeans could. That Levi's, and Amazon, didn't mention this in the product description is a disgrace.

Question: Great product.. But..

This product is a very nice product. Finish looks great and works how it should. However, it will scratch and destroy your cards. I've had to have my debit card replaced 3 times now. Works but I have switched away from it.

I was in the Peace Corps in Turkey in the late 60s. Served as Volunteer and staff member. I loved the country and the people. Often told people on return to the US that I met my first women doctors and engineers in Turkey, that Turkish women worked across the economy as they did not, at the time, in the States. Suzy Hansen reintroduces me to the modern" urban Turks that so impressed me, and to the village Turks I lived with and loved. Her analysis of the current tensions and struggles in Turkey strikes me as right--although I am far removed from it now. But the gift of her book is looking back at the United States, and our own peculiar kind of nationalism--from that distance. I can remember doing the same, and thinking that we Americans did not try to understand the rest of the world, but took it for granted--even those of us with liberal do-good intentions--that American ways were the ways of the future. But in 1968, we brought Robert Blowtorch Bob Komer, recently head of the Phoenix Pacification program in Vietnam, to Turkey as US Ambassador. Vietnam became poison for Americans in Turkey--we went from pictures of Ataturk and Kennedy in village homes to Yankee go home, and the Peace Corps and I left together in 1970.
Hansens 7-year stay and work as a journalist in Turkey, her travels and interviews around the region, her readings of James Baldwin and his stay in Turkey contribute to a much more sophisticated look back at the United States than my young self could muster. Her insight--that American policy is driven by the urge to make everyone modern like us; that dictators and military strongmen are OK if they embrace our kind of modernism--Is a very  compelling view of what American nationalism means in the rest of the world. A post-American world.

Question: Pretty good for the price

These stands are o.k.  They are a little less sturdy than I had hoped, although the carpet spikes that are included are a nice touch.  Without them it would be very difficult to set up speakers in my project studio.  I solved the problem of instability by putting some cheap bricks around the base of the stands.  That made them a heck of a lot more stable.

It was so nice to feel pretty while delivering a baby- not being in the boring old hospital gown. I was so glad that I 'splurged' a little on something that was really not necessary!

Question: Good for Mild Weather

Great dress for spring or fall. The coral color would be appropriate for either season. The 3/4 length sleeves are warm enough for milder weather. The dress is fully lined and the outer fabric is a sheer chiffon that flows nicely. The sleeve and yoke accent in the southwest pattern make this a more casual dress. I wear it out to dinner and casual parties. The sizing is accurate and the construction of the dress is good quality. I received a discount on this product in exchange for an honest review.

Item is great.  Holds my guitar securely and no damage to its finish.

Question: Best kitchen utensil i have bought in a long time

Works well for all my round lids and can even hold my rectangular Ninja 4in1 lid albeit at a slight angle. It has rubberized feet to keep it from slipping and holds the lids securely. I like that it has fairly deep wells to capture the liquid from the lids and is easy to clean.

"If you ever say anything to anyone, they all die".

And just like that, Lisa Preston pulls her audience through the opening scene of this page-turner.  Immediately immersing us in the tale of the darkest and scariest night of Greer Donner's life, Measure of the Moon launches right into the heart of the story.

And then, with an unforeseen (and somewhat abrupt) turn, readers are introduced to a completely separate set of characters.  And so goes the story - Preston pulls characters in and out, with expert description and captivating dialogue.  It does seem, however, to get a bit confusing.  The reader is introduced to the Donner family first and then Paul and Gillian, a married couple living a few hours away.  Through them, the reader meets yet another family - the Istoks.  And through all this beautiful, haunting detail, there is a subtle nagging in the back of the reader's mind: Huh?

Though gripping and written with enough detail to almost be able to hear ferryboats on the Seattle waterways, smell the rain and see the Needle off in the distance, it gets a little annoying that none of these stories seem to intertwine.  At least for me - I couldn't figure it out...until I figured it out. And once the connections become clear, it's easy to say that this is one of the best books I've read in a long time.

Reminiscent of Gillian Flynn or Heather Gudenkauf in style, this suspense is a must-read. And I kind of hope you don't figure it out sooner than I did - half the fun is in not knowing...

Question: Great for the price - easy tipping fix

Only things keeping this from 5 stars is the control knob has some spring to it; in some positions it seems to slowly close the valve a bit so the flame gets smaller. Not a bad thing really; sure better than the other direction!
TIP: easy fix for the tipping issue reported! Simply rotate the brass arm in the opposite direction so that the propane tank rests on TOP of the connection. The weight of the propane bottle now rests on the table and doesn't tilt the stove at all - easy peasy!

Not the original or even close.  False advertising.  Hostess should not be using the 'Susy Q' brand to sell something completely different and not making it clear on the packaging.  And by the way, they are far worse in my opinion, but that is not the main issue.  Some people might like smaller and less cream filling and the new taste.  I didn't, but hey.  If they made it clear it was something different I have no problem with them.  I am done with Hostess.

Question: Great looking shades for a great price.

These sunglasses are some of the best looking aviators you can find, and to make things better, you can't beat the price. AO's are the original aviator sunglasses and were made popular by Don Draper in Mad Men. I love these sunglasses and they sit great. I got the 52mm because I have a slightly narrow face, and they fit great. I have had multiple pairs of AO's and will always keep a pair in my sunglass rotation.

Comfy. For someone who just had a baby and still doesn't fit into any of my old jeans, this is a lifesaver. I am petite 125lbs 5"2, and these leggings can be stretched out much more. The only negative thibg i can say is that the bottom of the leggings doesn't snuggly fit around my ankles.

Question: Great for Hours of Play

These were a bit smaller than the ones we were using with our Lincoln Logs in our school daycare program,and a few had the legs come off easily.(They are made to detach and connect.) The kids love them and spend hours playing with them. It is nice to see them using their imaginations playing with old fashioned type toys. They also cooperate and interact with each other,which they need to work on in these days of digital games and electronics. They are plenty of figures that they can share. You do get a lot for the money.

Fascinating information about the time and era of Joseph in Nauvoo; including all the facts leading up to his presidential nomination, the presidential campaign and subsequent assasination.

The one major complaint I have is that I found some of the presentation a bit overly academical, with long sentences and fancy words. I prefer a simpler approach to writing. One that the average and simple-minded (like myself) can easily follow. This is not to say that it was all very complicated, but I sometimes had to read paragraphs or sections two or three times to comprehend the meaning. (Jan Shipps is another example of bad academic-styled writing, while Richard Lyman Bushman is an example of comprehensive writing.)

In spite of this weakness, I nearly gave it 5 stars for the sheer audacity and boldness with which it attacks its subject matter - not to mention the plethora of documentation and factual information surrounding General Joseph Smith's presidential campaign, the council of fifty, the 'Kingdom of God' and all the facts leading up to Joseph and Hyrum Smith's assasination at Carthage.

The final chapters conclude by giving us the names of the men responsible for the assasination (including the men who pulled the trigger!) and what became of them following the act.

Junius & Joseph paints a clear picture of the political times of the 1840's, including the ambitions and tactics of politicians including Henry Clay, Martin Van Buren, John Tyler, James Polk, Thomas Ford and several others. It also lists names of 30 of the 50 members of the 'council of fifty' and describes exactly what we know about the somewhat secret organization.

A fascinating read for anyone interested in the politics and conspiracies surrounding the death of Joseph Smith. It will place you completely into the time, and give you an understanding of the event that is as complete as possible with the documents available to us today. It may never get clearer than this.

Fits well and doesn't add much bulk - not sure how protective the case is in regards to a drop but it's better than nothing. Easy to remove if needed. Also not sure about the "scratch-resistant" claim, though. I've had the case on for about a week and the back is pretty well scratched up. I'm pretty gentle with my phone, too. I don't mind because that's why I bought the case, to get scratches on it rather than the phone, but still.

Question: This little book has been read over and over (and over and... well, you get the idea!) with our grandsons!

Santa had the original "Cars" DVD under the tree for our grandson when he was about 3-1/2, and all of a sudden the little boy who'd previously been immersed in seemingly nothing but Thomas the Train was going on and on about "Cars"!  Even though the movie had come out 5 years earlier, my husband and I obviously had our heads in the sand because we'd never even heard of it.  But given his obvious interest, we picked up this little board book and began a collection of Cars diecasts for him on his 4th birthday, and it was hilarious how he'd ask to read this book literally EVERY day at lunchtime!

Now that we've seen both "Cars" movies, it's easy to understand the attraction and why they sparked such a phenomenon.  Though this is a short little book, it does a pretty good job of giving the basic gist of the first movie, centered around an initially rather shallow race car named Lightning McQueen who had few friends due to his preoccupation with becoming famous.  It's a nice story that has Lightning discovering that the priceless gift of friendship with Mater (the tow truck), Sally (the sports car), Doc Hudson (the town doctor and judge), and Sheriff ("the law" in the small town of Radiator Springs that McQueen passes through on his way to a big race in California between McQueen, a former champ named "The King", and a ruthless cheater named "Chick Hicks") is much more valuable than fame.  (His other friends - Ramone, Flo, Luigi & Guido, Sarge and Fillmore are shown in this book, but not mentioned by name.)  The ending has him losing the race only because he stopped to help The King - who'd crashed - cross the finish line, but winning the affection of all of his new found friends instead.

Love the moral of this little tale, and this is one of the first books I remember my grandson reading TO me on his own (with nice inflection to boot!)  It's now been enjoyed by our middle grandson, and we've got another waiting for his turn - still in pretty good shape for a book with that much mileage!  It's a really small book (5-3/4"H x 4-1/4"W, 1/2" thick), but it's been well worth the (2006 copyright date's imprinted US price of) $4.99 to us!  I wouldn't hesitate to give this book as a gift (a NEW copy, that is!)

Really wanted to like this product since I really liked the fact that it was 10ft long, but I've had THREE break on me since I first ordered it back in May. Two cords had the metal tip break right off and one just stopped charging after 6 weeks. Anker's customer service is great though and they replaced the cord that wouldn't charge at no cost, even though I bought it from Amazon (you just have to provide the order number and it has to be within 18 months of your order). The customer service rep told me that the cords are ultra sensitive and you can't let ANYTHING touch the metal tip part that you plug into your phone- not your fingers, the floor, the table, etc. Seems pretty impossible and if it's that sensitive then it's a poorly designed product.

Question: Careful buying these shoes.

Size is totally off. My niece picked these shoes and was so excited to get them. I wear 8 or 8 1/2. These barely fit me and we ordered a nine. Bigger problem: disclaimer on package regarding chemicals used in manufacturing being banned in California. Of course I want my niece wearing these shoes ? Amazon?

This is just a wonderful book of haiku poems and I just love the name, The Awakened One Poetics.  Joseph has always been a great writer.  I have been reading his poems for almost five years now.  They are so relaxing, gripping, packed with images and are great for the mind.  Joseph is such a wonderful poet I even adopted him as my big brother.  We are German-Italian and we just love his creative style!

I like how this book is broken down in different parts with the seven different languages.  This is really cool.  My daughter, Jenny, studies Spanish and I know she will just love this book when she reads it.  The haiku poems translated in Chinese and Japanese should make many individuals from those countries smile knowing that haiku poems came from those countries.

Haiku and senryu poems are favorites of mine; however, Joseph is the master. He even invented his own form of poetry, known as the Epulaeryu.  He also taught many of us how to write Epulaeryu poems and many individuals on the poetry sites really love them.  It seems like the haiku poem is a part of the Epulaeryu poetic form also.

The poems in this book are very relaxing, uplifting, and stimulating. This book is really a winner by my adopted poetry brother.  We are all waiting for him to come and visit us in Minnesota soon, so we can write, read, and recite poetry with all the other poets here from the poetry site.

Upon reading these poems my mind was really calm.  I could also see things differently.  They just cooled me down.  There is really good stuff in this book.  The poems are soothing and cooling.  This book reminds me of drinking a cold glass of lemonade when the sun is bearing down and you are really thirsty upon taking the first sip. It has really quenched my thirst and now I feel like I have an internal spring just flowing with owning a copy of this book.

Joseph, please come and visit us soon.  We will set up a book reading for you, or poetry recital and get the folks to come.  We just love you up here in Minnesota my brother!
