Question: Best Summer Time Toy!!

Best Summer Time Toy!!!

In the store...retail price was $9.99 for two bunches.  That makes this offer amazing!!
These lasted almost all summer and are sooo easy to use!

This is the story of a tragedy that occurred at an early 20th century New England school. At first, I was a little troubled by the structure of this book. IT's told in the first person, and yet it's still a cliff hanger of sorts. That's kind of hard to do because the first person narrator obviously knows what's happening. At times, especially before I got comfortable with the book, some of the foreshadowing seemed a little over the top.

However, I slowly got more and more into the book. The atmosphere Cook develops is wonderful and dark. The sense of foreboding is almost palpable, and I slowly began to understand the narrator more and more. It's a book that will leave you guessing until near the very end, and even after you think you have it all figured out, it'll surprise you one final time.

Question: My childhood came back!

Purchased seasons 1, 2, and 3 and couldn't be happier. It is exactly like I remember. I suppose it is suppose to be a kids show, however, I probably watch this the most in our house.

The fit of this protector on the mattress I have is great & it has held up to two washes so far. It is not designed to keep you cool, but does have good cushioning.

Question: Way better than imagined!

I was so glad this wasn't some flimsy dog tag. It's a great weight and perfect for any Cowboys fan!

This did not perform as needed.  It was too much like a silicone that I decided to peel off.  It did not fill into the cracks.

Question: And the gum and mints taste great!

Xylitol isn't just a non-caloric sugar. It has beneficial effects of gums and on the mouth, nose and sinuses. And the gum and mints taste great!

I'm not a fan of expensive HDMI cables... the biggest reason being neither my cable box nor my Blu-ray output, or will ever output at the frequency rates these are rated for.. But I was getting a little tired of poorly constructed HDMI cables and ones that didn't last more than a year (the $2 type).

The Mediabridge cables are very sturdy and produce a great picture and audio quality... everything you'd expect from a much more expensive cable at a rate that is worth paying.

Question: Very nice dress for all occasions.

Love this dress. It fits perfectly and look elegant on me. The dress design is very flattering to my bump, making it looks so cute. :P The fabric feel so soft. And I love wearing it.

Fascinating story of Eugene Bullard - world's first black combat aviator. Book is well written and gives many insights into this interesting character that fought both internal and external conflicts his entire life. A really enjoyable read.

Question: Banjo hanging comfortably on the wall

Just what I needed! Banjo hanging comfortably on the wall :)

Although many novels have been written about Nazi occupied France, this is the first one that I have read written from the perspective of the women of France who suffered greatly and quietly aided in the Resistance. it is a moving story of familial love set in the midst of unbearable tragedy during WWII.

Question: I really love this handheld vacuum

POWERFUL VACUUM! I really love this handheld vacuum. It grabs hair and dust from any surface. I have a cat and a dog and its a life saver. My only complaint is the fan on the side of the machine blows air out so it will blow around the dust in the air.

if you own an older mini u: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000AMPRG0/ it does NOT fit the crossbar as the older model has a slightly thicker shaft. somewhat hard to tell in this photo but the inner diameter of the original orange crossbar cover is maybe 1 or 2 mm bigger than the white one.  i tried to stretch the white one on and just ended up getting it stuck on. there's about 10mm / 0.5inches to go and i don't think it's gonna stretch that far.

Question: Trouble with fastener material

These are cute and for the first several months, I had no problem and swapped both covers out as they needed washing. Then after about 6 months, one of the covers began to show a serious problem.  The Velcro-type fastening  has now deteriorated to the point that the cover won't stay on my dog.  The part that wraps over the top and which is intended to catch the bottom hook fasteners has unraveled, for lack of a better word, so that now it is nothing but sparse fuzz and will not catch the hooks. Now, the cover is unusable.  This is a real disappointment because I had been completely satisfied up until that point. Now, the second cover is showing signs of the same problem and it is only a matter of time until it, too, will have to be tossed. Either this item is made  and sold using an inferior  imitation of the Velcro-type material,  or these particular covers were made from a bad run of that material.  This is a real shame, because the covers are  cute and have worked well otherwise. I did not return them or try to contact the manufacturer because the window for return had passed

before the problem surfaced. Had it not  closed, I would have returned these.

Update  Feb. 2017.  I have had a nice, prompt response from Wegreeco since I posted this review.  They tell me they are producing a new cover which fastens with snaps instead of the Velcro-type material that has failed and will send me a replacement for the ones I have written about. Excellent customer service.  I will update this review, once I receive and have a chance to see how the newly designed cover works.  I have every confidence this matter will be resolved to my satisfaction. For this reason, I'm adding a star and will do so again if the replacement works out.

Great product, lasts long but wish it were a tad smaller.

Question: ... set and so far I think this is the best one in this set

I have all but the earth 23 Superman and the joker to make the justice buster set and so far I think this is the best one in this set, the bow and arrow both hold good in his hands and he looks awesome, the box was perfect as well. They don't show it in the pictures but it comes with one arrow that he holds in his right hand between his fingers and it actually looks awesome so I don't know why they posted a pic without the arrow.

I had ripped this one on Windows Media together with others and sent them to my daughter, Janis. She called to tell me It was her favorite of the six she received. Then I had to listen to it immediately and learned it is my favorite too. I suggest you will like it.

Question: Great colors, overall comfy

Nice color variety, relatively comfortable.  My only complaint is that the band tends to roll under maxi skirts, but it stays put under tighter clothing like trousers. Perhaps I ordered a size larger than I should have?  They're not made with natural fibers, so the breathability could be better, but I knew that when I ordered them.

I absolutely hate this can opener.  I've had it for years (don't know why) and it still is the hardest to use of any can openener I've owned.
Save yourself the time and money and get a different one

Question: EXCELLENT COFFEE "POD" STORAGE DRAWER

This is an excellent product.  It is very durable and easy to use.  I placed my Kuerig Coffee Pot on top of it and there was no strain put on the little storage drawers at all.  It holds at least 36 cups and I usually put one brand of coffee per drawer and use the third drawer for teas and misc drinks.  I would definitely recommend this product as being everything the mfg said it was.  I have found this to be  most pleasing in today's hurry up...whoa world where you're sold one thing but get another.  This product is worth the money you spend for it.  The only possible negative issue one "Might" have is that by setting your coffee pot on top of it you may find that it's too tall to sit under your cabinet and you'll have to move it.  For me it wasn't a problem as I simply moved the whole set over to an open area which allowed for me to add coffee accessories next to it for convenience and it worked out great.  So, if you order one, you'll be glad you did because it gets rid of all the "pod" boxes sitting on your cabinet and neaten up your coffee area.

I'm nobody special. I just wanted these pants for daily wear. I wasn't disappointed. Being that I wear jeans almost every other day of the week, I was pleasantly surprised at how comfortable these pants are. My job requires me to bend down a lot, so the crotch gusset is really nice (I tried Duluth Trading's gusseted jeans and have some complaints with them). There are plenty of pockets, and I like the placement of them all, except the rear ones which can be a little difficult to access at times (they have hook-and-loop adhesive to keep them closed). These pants are lightweight yet durable. I got the Dark Navy color, which is very, very dark - almost black. I don't mind that one bit (I actually prefer the darker color), but some buyers might.

My only complaint with these pants are that they are difficult to clean. Coming from a 24/7 jeans-wearer, almost anything you spill on these pants will require more than a single wash to remove.  Overall, these are great pants, and I wouldn't hesitate to buy them again.

Question: Attractive tablecloth

We really like this attractive tablecloth. It is easy care, and spills bead right up.

Good compound, but it really likes to stick to my knife as I am stropping. I still used the compound just because it does help with the final finish and makes everything look good.

Question: Short Stories Worth Reading

Brilliant writing by this first time Hawaii author! Congrats James!!

I was very surprised to read the negative review of this book.  I agree the "journalistic parentage" of this book is apparent, but I disagree with the "ricochet" comment.  The book IS about Washington during the Civil War.  The problem with any book about Washington D.C. is that, because of its status as the nation's capital, it's impossible to focus only on the city itself.  Any book that did so would be seriously flawed and incomplete.  A history of Washington must take into account, at least periodically, the effects that actions in Washington have on other parts of the country, and what events in other parts of the country do to change the situation in Washington.  This is doubly true of the Civil War era.

I found the mix of local and national issues and events not at all confusing and in fact, quite palatable.  Furgurson seamlessly weaves in events such as John Fremont's action in Missouri and Ben Butler's actions on the Virginia Peninsula, for example, with local events in Washington.  The importance of the interaction between these events is self-evident.  Indeed, such masterful weaving is half the book's charm.

_Freedom Rising_ is not meant to be a source for report writing (although it works as background reading); it's meant to be an enjoyable read, and at this task Furgurson succeeds masterfully. I would recommend this book, and I will be more likely to read Furgurson's other books in the future.

Question: ... boyfriend with it for his birthday - hung up nicely, held candy

I surprised my 27 year old boyfriend with it for his birthday - hung up nicely, held candy, made him smile, and fell into pieces when struck repeatedly with a broom soo it got the job done :)

These arrived only a few hours ago, and I already think they've changed my life. I'm a naturalist, and I've been cutting my back yard by hand. I put these on, took out a machete, and got down on my hands and knees and started cutting, and I felt absolutely feral. This is everything I ever wanted. It was such a profound experience.

This keyboard is just a normal everyday keyboard, no special keys or anything. One thing that I would have liked would be a longer backspace key, but I have adapted and it does not bother me at all. I should also note that my "L" key was a bit sticky but after rapidly pressing it a bunch of times it finally was as fluid as the rest of the keys.

Question: first aid emergency kit

This was a total disappointment. It was nothing like i was expecting. things that should have been it were not.

Im pretty sure these are not Madden Girl shoes. All of my other Madden Girl shoes fit BUT NOT THIS. The fit is so small. Let me clarify. This cute bootie may fit my foot but the opening is so stinkin small that I cant get my foot in the shoe to even know if my foot will fit. I have normal feet and slender ankles so its not like the bootie is hard to get on due to my size. Do yourself a favor and save your money - don't buy these!

My son couldn't listen to his iPhone on the stock stereo in his Santa Fe, so we replaced it with this one. His iPhone 5 paired easily, he can answer phone calls via the stereo, control the iPhone via the stereo or a remote, set the color of the stereo lights - all in all, very happy.

Question: Happy with vs sunscreen

Has a way of fixing what other creams just don't solve.  Happy with this.  Used on legs and saw a big difference in texture & tone of skin.  I seem to have issues with little red or clear blister like spots in the summer.  One doctor told me too sensitive to sunlight & need to layer on a good sunscreen.  I cleared up my skin with this.  It is still improving.

Turns out I don't need them but if I ever do I am ready.

These boots are really made well, only problem is I can't even begin to get my foot into them.  I have a very high bridge and very deep arch.  Too bad.  I really loved them and needed some protection out in the field.

We needed a temporary fix for a couch until we move in a few months.  We didn't want to buy a new couch until we were in the new house.  The couch we had broke so we were using one from our basement but it was not the best looking.  So we ordered this cover to help it look better.  It was easy to put on and we are happy with this temporary couch.  Totally recommend this to anyone thinking of buying it.

I travel a lot. This is great product and fit my purpose when I was traveling and have to fight for the very little wall socket.

Decent product for the price, which is 1/3rd the cost of heavy duty ones. However, as such, you need to be careful not to over tighten whatever you are connecting. The outer  piece cracked on one of the 4 bulkheads with just hand tightening.

Question: Red = Axl Rose + Black & Blue

A bit thicker and wider than I was hoping.
I totally feel like Axl Rose whenever I put the red one on...so I never wear it.

I purchased the Sennheiser HD 202 Headphones after reading all the great reviews and because of the low price. Upon receiving the headphones I found them to be extremely tight on my head, with no option for adjustment. The earcups are a little small and barely fit over my ears. Keep in mind, my ears are fairly small and my head isn't huge. I gave myself a week to get accustomed to them only to realize that the left side of the headphones volume was considerably lower than the right sides. This coupled with the tightness of the headphones led to headaches and an overall horrible listening experience. i have since returned the HD 202's and got a pair of the HD 201's, which are not only cheaper, but incredibly more comfortable. They fit perfect, like a pair of headphones should. They also have a more balanced sound, while the HD 202's where extremely bass heavy.

HD 201's all the way!!!

Question: Still an Anker Fan But This Product Is Not in My Good Book

I've always loved Anker products and have bought a few over the past year, but this one wasn't quite how I expected it to be. It caused a number of battery percentage errors on my Samsung Galaxy Note 4, when I used it for charging. The final error was when my phone beeped 15% remaining and then immediately died on me. I will not use this to charge my smartphone. I tried using it to charge my rechargeable bike lights as well. It didn't seem to be doing its job either. As of this writing, I am still thinking of returning it to the seller. Maybe they can advice me on a better power bank. I need one that can fast-charge my phone and prevent charging errors.

I love this pack,I use it mainly for bushcraft. Molle webbing is important to me because I can attach pouches to make it hold as much gear as I need. It even holds my shotgun scabbard. Cant go wrong for the money. Also came with a american flag velcro patch along with the 3V patch,which was a nice surprise. It definitely can compete with the Maxpedition pack.

Question: Square Trade is an excellent extended warranty

I have purchased Square Trade warranties for years and have saved on the extended warranties compared to in-store warranties.  I did have a product that was not working properly.  I mailed it in and they were not able to repair the item and did not have a replacement.  I was refunded my full price that I originally paid for the item.  I believe they do have an excellent warranty program.  I would recommend this to those who wish to purchase an extended warranty.

Loving this quick change chuck.  If there is one thing I hate about routers, it's changing the bit.  I do a lot of pattern work with templates.  I was using two routers to do it, but getting the exact same set up on two different bases of the same make proved dificult.  This solved all the problems.  I use it with 1.5 inch round over bits, 6 inch spiral end mill bits and top bearing straight bits.  So far it's been a real time saver for my work.  Hold the bits tight with no wobble on my dewalt plunge.

Question: This is the correct music controller to buy for 5050SMB 300 LED lighting

I originally ordered a LEDwholesalersTM IR Music Controller 60 Watt 3 Ports With Remote for Color Changing LEDs,3322RGB to go with my HitLights High Density Waterproof LED Lighting Strip RGB Color Changing 300 SMD LED, 5 Meter or 16 Feet Plug-and-Play Kit, with 44 Key Remote and Transformer,but it did not work with these. You need to get this one instead:

It cost more though because it is meant to supply a 72 watts which is needed for the 300's.

I recommend this controller for anyone who owns 300 LED lights.

Using two of these on same desk.  Clamps and arms are sturdy and work well.  Positioning the monitors can be tricky if you're working on it alone, but it is doable.

Question: As mentioned by others you can't easily access the area to raise the flash at all ...

I was looking for a case that would allow the camera to be usable with the case on and the implication here was that this case allowed that.  Upon receiving the case it became clear it's two pieces.  The lower piece screws into the tripod mount on the bottom of the camera and the camera itself is borderline usable with it in place.  As mentioned by others you can't easily access the area to raise the flash at all and the entire thing is bulky.

You won't be able to set the camera down because of the new tripod mount the case has which protrudes out about 3/8ths of an inch.  The two pieces attach to each other with button snaps and if you imagine being able to pull out your camera and use it quickly forget about it.  You need to unsnap the pieces apart to take a picture.

Realistically, I don't see a case on Amazon that fits what I was hoping to find, but a hard case or soft bag case would probably be superior for general carrying of the camera than this two pieces Frankenstein.

Very nice leggings and comfortable to the max

Question: Really good short story

It's a good thing I have a Kindle, since it seems like I always need to keep the fingers on one hand crossed when reading short stories these days. Thankfully, that was not the case here. The story seemed to be well thought out and well written, with characters that were both realistic and likeable. I liked that Jacob made new friends out of Elizabeth and Evan; I think he showed maturity and growth in just that, meaning he wasn't just going to stick to the predictable security of his regular circle of friends. I was glad that he agreed to take the class, and especially glad when he finally rejected a call from Jason.

One should note that this story involves no sex and very little intimacy, but that makes it more realistic, and the people more human. Jacob had only been single 4 months, and after about 3 years Elijah was still saying "my David". Which, for the record, threw me off a little; at least twice in the story he says "my David", and then after having a bad day where he seemed to be grieving over David, he goes from crying to kissing Jacob in a matter of minutes. Well, that escalated quickly. This and the few editing issues were the only real problems I had with the story, and even then the epilogue made up for it.

I read all of Prime Assets and enjoyed them all so I couldn't pass up Adrift when I found it. I hope all of the team members have a story to tell. C.G.Cooper really has a way with words.

The price of this tent is amazing! So value is it's first advantage. The quality is not bad for a starter like me who camps about 5-6 times a year. The tent is relatively light weight (not backpack), easy to set-up and dismantle and easy to store. The tent fits a queen bed comfortably with a little bit of space on the sides. The front 'shade' is a nice feature; makes your tent look nice - it's too short and small area for adults to sit under.

The one complaint is the inability to close the 'windows' on the rainfly from inside. If it starts raining unexpectedly in the middle of the night, you need to get out to close the window.

Overall, it's a wonderful starter tent for the price.

Question: Pretty comfy for something that has underwire

Pretty comfy for something that has underwire.  Still can't beat the shelf bra nursing tanks for comfort, but definitely gives the girls a good lift.

I first became curious about Voltaire after seeing his name in ads for Projekt, a label who has many other artists whose music I've enjoyed. After hearing a bunch of weak and staticky samples of "The Devil's Bris" over the 'net, I decided the CD might be worth buying. After  just listening to the first track once, I became enchanted by the witty  lyrics and beautiful instrumentals. The rest of the CD was truly a joy to  listen to. Being a fellow New York City goth, I can truly relate to the  problems expressed in "The Man Upstairs". Hearing Voltaire's spin  on "Shalom" was like a breath of air after hearing so many  irritating versions cranked out of keyboards by guys in those t-shirts with  a tux drawn on them at bar mitzvahs. This CD will definetly be getting alot  of play; I've already gotten tons of scratches on it and I've only had it  about a week (maybe I'll go buy another copy)! I love the cover art and  Voltaire definetly has a universe of talent.

If you own a record player and are a Little Richard fan you should own this. The pressing itself sounds great and it arrived in good condition with no scuffs or other imperfections that a lot of other new release LPs seem to be afflicted by. The song selection was also stellar. I highly recommend this purchase.

I usually don't purchase a product without reading the reviews and usually read a high star and low star review. There's a reason there are no low star reviews. This is the BEST product ever!!! I have a my cats litter box in the laundry room and I can't stand doing laundry with cat litter sticking to me feet. The trapper catches 97% of that litter and it's amazingly easy to clean.

I am a zookeeper/aquarist and I can tell you that this product has been useful. The work I do on exhibits, which is basic maintenance, is perfect for this multi-tool. The other great part is the fact the bottle opener is available quickly for when the job is done and you need a "beverage".

This product was described as plug-and-play, but that is false. You need additional adapters if you want to use the satellite radio and backup camera (both of which were pre-installed in my vehicle).

I am returning this product for sure.

At first I thought this would be great as a bed-time story, but theres way too much action for that!

The fables and larger story arc are very creatively written.

The story invokes a wide range of emotion from the listener, and I think that gives the imparted wisdom a deeper impact than it would have otherwise.

This was our first Life House Theater-on-the-Air audio drama but it won't be our last!  Production quality is quite good, acting was great, and music and sound effects all add to the experience.  Best of all, the content is timeless and meaningful  something of a rarity in kids entertainment.

Question: I love my Instant Pot and this cookbook is perfect

I love my Instant Pot and this cookbook is perfect! Unusual recipes with perfect results. Our favorite, Vietnamese Chicken Soup aka" Pho".
This version is better than the local restaurants we go to!

The Philokalia for $1.99 -- not bad at all.

Yes, the text is a scan of the original but I found that -- with the exception of St Thalassios the Libyan -- I had no problems with the formatting.  I did take the time to bookmark the various works and intros.  One of the things about the formatting that I found useful is that the volume and page numbers of the original are preserved in the ebook version making it easy for me to check references to the Philokalia from other works.

The following are the location references for all of the bookmarks that I created.  Each number references a location.  Hit menu, go to, [insert location number], location, and hit bookmark:

Yes, it takes a little patience and time but you can always encourage yourself by reading a little Cassian on the Eight Vices (loc 1725); I would suggest the passages on anger (loc 2032) and dejection (loc 2195)and perhaps pride (loc 2368).

Question: a stiche may save money

I do not like to sew but until they come up with a better idea I guess this will have to do, only  a few stitches required and much cheaper than alterations.

Written by an author well versed in psychology, "Kylie's Heel" is narrated in the first person, so that we have an inside view of how she copes with anxiety, stress, love, personal relationships in such a way that the reader can identify with her struggles. Especially appropriate for people experiencing loss or separation, the plot is engaging and suspenseful so that this is a book the reader won't want to put down.

good exciting fast paced story.  A little variety would add to the story though  - currently everything is the biggest challenge yet of Harry's life...  He should really not make it through, but he does. (again, and again)

I enjoy reading Jeffrey Archer.  I know there will be additional books coming.  When I finished Best Kept Secret, I know and expressed to my husband that I wanted to read the next book NOW.  This was one of the best endings to a book and I'm looking forward to the next.  The next book can't come soon enough for me.

Question: Not one of Sue Monk Kidd's best

Not one of the author's best.  It seems as though she has reused the environmental theme and has run out of anything new or different to say.  I was not dazzled by this book as I was with The Poisonwood Bible.  The writing is beautiful as always but with too many lengthy commentaries on mundane things like shopping at the dollar store (15+ pages!) that bogs down the story.  Sometimes it felt like the author was just to writing to write, sort of like a painter on canvas but as an impressionist rather than a realist.  It's time for the author to move on to other subjects with something fresh and new.

My granddaughter loves the WIMPY KID books, but not this one.  It was ordered as new, but it has writing in it from someone else.

Question: These are great replacement Props for the Chroma

These are great replacement Props for the Chroma. There is only 2 things that I don't like about them. They are not labled A and B like the originals were, and the little nuts that hold them on the motor often come off the prop when not assembled.  I store mine in a Blade Chroma bag and have to remove the props, when I go to assemble I have to hunt for at least 1 or 2 of the little nuts to go back on the prop. Other than that, these are good props and I highly recommend.

I love the Bormioli Rocco Rock Bar Stackable Mugs.  Just the right size for me since larger mugs hold too much coffee.  I drink it slowly and it gets cold.  Love coffee, hate cold coffee.  These are perfect.  Really cute and durable.

Greatest thing since sliced bread.
This claw will pick up any size chunk that is 12" to 18" in length, makes handling fire wood a lot easier. I gave it five stars because that's as good as it gets. The only way to make handling fire wood easier would be to have somebody else doing it!!!!

This mister was a life saver at Walt Disney World. June in Central Florida is brutally hot and humid, even at night! My family and I used this to cool off while standing in line outside and waiting for the fireworks. I LOVE this little mister, and recommend it for everything from Walt Disney World to the beach.

Arrived exactly as described. Seems like a quality product.

Kind of regret buying these - they're just too small. We really needed some 2' x 2' or 4' x 4' sheets. The 1' x 1' are very tedious to tac to a wall. Really doesn't go very far. But for their price, they work.

Bought this for my son to replace a laptop. This has by far exceeded what the laptop could do. Very fast, he can stream Hulu & Netflix with no problem. My son makes youtube videos and this is very user friendly for him to upload videos. Construction seems to be decent, doesn't feel like the cheap Dell laptop he use to have, this feels very solid. Hold battery power quite well, on a 4 hour car ride it only used a small portion of the battery. Apps and games load fast and have no issues. This is an awesome device for anyone looking to get the basics and has no need to to run software.

I LOVE these. Found a small band aid sized box full at a flea market and knew I had to have more! Although the container was so cute and tin, it held about 10pcs for 8.95!! This will fill my craving forever!! :)

"Loving Kate" by Lara Van Hulzen is book number two in the "Silver Bay" series.  This is Kate MacIntire and Jack Harden's story.

Kate moved to Silver Bay after her divorce.  Her marriage to her ex was an emotional abusive marriage.  Kate is determined to do things on her. She doesn't want to be dependent on anyone.

Jack and Kate met at the wedding of his brother and her sister.  These two are total opposites but there is definitely a spark between them.

This is a sweet and inspirational story.  There are obstacles they have to work through. I enjoyed the courtship of Kate and Jack.

I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

Question: Take Nothing For Granted When Reading This Story

Very enjoyable reading the entire series of books.  I like suspense and mystery and this book and others certainly meet those requirements. Great work from a very thoughtful mind. Cheers Rickg

Perfect for making tea, for self or to share. No stains in the pitcher. I did have a problem with the strainer staining, but I can always make tea in a tea pot and pour it in the pitcher to put in the fridge. Seal perfectly and doesn't take up much space.

Question: To see or not to see, that is the question.

What an amazing end to this " touch trilogy". Gripping from the beginning Angela pans the story out in a way that the certain end you think is coming is always in doubt. Beautifully written with concise dialogue the story just flows along and gets very close to not being able to put the book down. It's good to read a story that's not based on " steamy sex scenes". A must buy for all three of these books

Question: Creative Missed the Mark

I recently purchased the ZEN X-Fi Style and I will say that I am very disappointed. I have other Creative MP3 players and I purchased this one to replace a ZEN Vision M which was stolen from my car. So, the ZEN Vision M is the standard to which I hold the ZEN X-Fi Style to. They have pretty much all the same options and the menu is pretty much the same. There are two main things with the X-Fi that cause me to rate it at 1 star. First off the navigation of the menus, and especially the navigation of the music, is painfully sluggish. I had expected the same or better experience that I had with my circa 2007 Creative ZEN Vision M. Not so. The second thing is the Max Volume. It is much lower than the ZEN Vision M's Max Volume. As this specific player is used in my car, this is a really big letdown as I like it LOUD. With the Vision M I was unable to use full volume in the car. With the X-Fi, I can go to full volume and it is still not at "FULL JAMMIN" volume.
This player will not be relegated to the shop stereo. I have since gone to Ebay and purchased a used ZEN Vision M. Now the world is right again. ;-)

Easy mount. Looks great. A little overpriced in my opinion, but other brands are around the same price. I think it should have a locking nut to hold the holder to the mounting bracket, so keep an eye on the tightness of the wing nut supplied or apply a drop of lock tight to be sure it doesn't vibrate loose. I would recommend this to anyone needing a passenger cup holder

Question: Better than the "_____ Box" Defender series!

'Been VERY impressed with this case!  Much better than the other one mentioned in the subject line.  This one has no rubber parts (ie: the MAIN portion of the case) that stretches out / loosens over time.  'Been through several of the others, and will never go back! Superior in every way!  'Highly recommend!!!!  The ONLY downside I could come up with is that you need very small headphone jack housings if you plan on using them with this case.  It's not a case that is meant to be opened up regularly.

I am disappointed with the chrome finish.  This is not stainless steel.  The chrome is slightly worn away on the bottom, so on my first use it left a rust stain on the counter.  Poor quality materials and finish in my experience.

Question: Ten books? Years between books? Yeaaaaahhhh.... I'm out.

I loved the book, in fact I loved both books in the series. Why the poor review, you ask? Because this book is the second of a series and followed a four year gap between them. I just noticed that Mr Sanderson has ten- count them- TEN books planned in this series. At the rate these books are released, it will take decades to finish the series. I stopped reading the Wheel of Time series for the same reason. I understand the money-making potential in dragging a story out over multiple books, but I (sadly) won't be a customer, nor will I give the book as a gift. From now on, it's back to supporting writers who see readers as valued customers and not as cash cows.

This is an exact replacement for the original.  Mine is real easy to get to - some RVs are not easy, but it is an important component to take care of.  The original cartridges were made in Germany, but, like so many things, this one is from China.  The quality, however, seems to be pretty good.

Question: READ to be an informed buyer

I really loved this ongoing, especially the middle of three arcs.
But be advised! The third arc is part of a crossover. So there will be a lot that will seem oddly underdeveloped. From what I've heard from other Valiant fans, it may be best to buy the Harbinger Wars Deluxe edition to get all the parts of the crossover in order, and get the other two arcs as smaller trade paperbacks. The back third of this book still works if you're looking to save money and aren't interested in the larger crossover, to be clear, but the story still reads as though there is something bigger/more important going on that you aren't focused on.

An excellent array of stickers and a great value. I put one on the envelope when I mailed in my property taxes. Somehow it made me feel better.

Love this mouse and it continues the Explorer Mouse tradition of five buttons (two of which I use for cutting and pasting - can't live without that option). This mouse is slick. BUY IT!

I'm definitely a fan of The Firm workouts, I have 50+ of their DVDs.  Some are better than others.  This one was pretty fun, not quite what I expected, but still a good workout.

I love Kelsie, she's one of my favorite Firm instructors.  I'm fairly certain she's some kind of vampire, she doesn't age!  She looks as good as she did in the 80's "mansion" Firm workouts.  I am in awe of her arms.  Her cueing was excellent, and I like her enthusiasm.

The moves were simple enough to make it easy to follow along.  There is a modifier for beginners or those who want to keep it low impact.  Several sections use weights, Kelsie always states beforehand to use light-to-medium or medium-to-heavy.  I used light weight because it was my first time doing it and I wanted it to be more of a cardio workout.

My only complaint about the workout was there wasn't enough kickboxing.  The weight segments were good, but made it more of a circuit workout.  But it got my heart rate up and made me sweat, so I left feeling like I got a good workout.

I have this on vinyl from the 80's. I bought on CD so I could save the LP. I wasn't enamored with the additional tracks, but you can leave them off if you copy to a stick to play in your car.

According to the review comment by M.W.Carle, by just reading the instructions, one can know how to use this unit to copy from VHS tapes TO DVDs. I would certainly like to know how when the only record function is on the VCR side. I have read the English section of the user manual completely and no where does in mention copying TO DVD. I have no need to copy from DVD to VHS. So, I purchased this unit based on Carle's statement. If you know how to get around this, please post again! I relied on the customer reviews because the product discription was so lacking. Wish that Amazon would take the time to be a lot more thorough. The packing box was covered with info that was not in the Amazon product discription. As a player, it will meet my needs.  For copying our wedding VHS tape to a DVD...

Question: Great Addition for Nurseries and Bedrooms

My daughter loves this light!  It makes bedtime so much smoother. I like that it has a one hour timer and a range of color settings. The built in speaker is great for lullabies. I wish there was an off switch, but other than that, I have no complaints.

Maria De La Torre is one tough cookie. She is a fighter, a rebel and most importantly an independent woman. She is shattered at the beginning of the book by a tremendous loss. How is she going to get back to a good place, enter Eli. From the moment he walks into Maria's life he turns her world upside down. He is strong, passionate, stubborn and most importantly feeling protective towards Maria. Together they embark on a journey of finding out that even in one's independence it is alright to need someone to help you get through the bad. Maria's character is the type of friend you want in your corner and Eli is the man you want sharing his love with you at all times. I could not put this book down simply because I immensely enjoyed watching Maria learn that loving Eli was what she was meant to do! The romance is sexy and steamy and keeps you wanting more. This is a great follow up to the Trinity Trilogy. I loved to share this ride with these characters. I can't wait for more!

Question: Good clean suspenseful romance

This is book two in the Agents Under Fire series. However, it is also a stand alone book. You will get to know most of the characters in the first book, Web of Deceit, plus it is a great read too, so I would suggest you read it first, but it is not necessary.

Susan Sleeman always does a great job at keeping your interest, keeping the mystery and suspense plus all the romance thrown into one great novel. Her characters are well defined and their dialogue is great. I love all the different personality types and how they all add dimension to the story.

FBI agent Nina Brandt is a very dedicated, planned out agent. She has some fears of her own and loves her job. Even though it is with the FBI being an agent dealing with computer issues she is usually in a safe environment. When she is faced with the one man she never expected to see again, Navy SEAL Quinn Stone, will she be able to put her hurt behind her and rely on him again? Will they be able to solve this mystery before it is to late for Nina and others she loves.

Navy SEAL Quinn Stone is an adrenaline junkie. When he is called home to help his little brother, he knows there is only one person he can turn too, yet is it asking to much? Quinn must learn what he truly desires and face some fears he never thought possible.

I was given a copy of this novel from the author for my honest opinion.

Daughter bought it for her Ren Fair Gypsy outfit - looked good.

Question: Good Selection of Horror Shorts

Most are Australian shorts, but a very good selection of horror short stories where the protagonist over comes some kind of barrier or obstacle. They're rather different than your typical horror story and can be seen as quite inspiring. They were originally gathered to raise money for a lead in horror who was diagnosed with ALS.

As a 27 year old who grew up on Zelda, but had now become the typical jaded gamer, it's hard to believe I like this game as much as I do.
The controls are flawless, the story is great, the swordplay is amazing; the game is simply perfect.
I encourage everyone to get this game.

Question: Not An Easy Read, But Worth It

On more than one level, The Little Friend is not an easy novel to read. Donna Tartt succeeds so well in creating the psychologically claustrophobic setting for this desperately tragic story of American dysfunction that at times I literally felt that I was suffocating. Tartt's writing is that good. Her descriptions of genuine remorse felt by her young protagonist are gripping.

Readers looking for a fast-moving 'plot' can expect to be disappointed. Readers willing to stick with Tartt as she painfully, and painstakingly, lays out layers and layers of dysfunction in the American South -- which, of course, is simply standing-in for all of us -- will be struck by her incredible powers of observation. How else to describe multiple layers of prejudice ... yes, of course, White against Black, but what do we do with her insights about Black prejudice against Poor Whites? Male prejudice against women? And others ....

Tartt never lets us, her readers, off the hook ... most especially not with the ending, which has been much-maligned by other reviewers. But for me, it was yet one more indicator of the relentless, pitiless damage caused by prejudice ... our individual and collective failure to see each other ... even a blood brother ... as human beings worthy of dignity and respect. I learned a lot about what it means to be human from reading this book. Thank you, Donna Tartt.

Question: Good quality and very soft

Theses sheets are Very soft & warm.  Good quality.  I would like it better without the satin trim.  My husband loves them!

I like this book by Franzwa, and I suppose part of that is because I am in one of the photos near the end of the book. I remember going with the author and several local people from southeast Colorado and western Kansas to visit the site of old Fort Wise/Lyon located along the Arkansas River about 10 miles west of Lamar where I grew up. It was this trip that has inspired me to research the building and early history of Fort Wise/Lyon. The fort was moved 20 miles west in 1867 because of flooding. Today Ft. Lyon is being rehabilitated to be used to house homeless people - especially veterans. Over the more than 100 years the fort has gone through many changes. Growing up along the Santa Fe Trail made the history of those who traveled this road something I always enjoyed finding and exploring. When a young man our school class visited Bent's Old Fort northeast of LaJunta, Colo., but at that time only the foundation outlines of the buildings were visible. It was wonderful when as part of the state's Centennial and the country's Bicentennial the old fort was rebuilt to its historic condition from 1845. Franswa did a great job to photographing the many historic locations along the Santa Fe Trail covering it from the beginning in Missouri and the two branches that developed including the Cimarron cutoff and the Mountain Branch that followed the Arkansas to LaJunta and then bent south to Raton Pass and on into Santa Fe.

My 10 year old daughter is into animal print so I decided to order this comforter set. It looks exactly as described. I just wish it came with sheets. I put this comforter set on my daughter's bed when she was in school and when she came home, she was ALL SMILES! I'm glad I made the decision to purchase this!

Philip Roth deserves to be recognized as portraying human
experience as ambivalent, rather than as simply positive or
negative.
  In COUNTERLIFE he portrays the lead character as a male
with great talent which turns out to be the great flaw of that
character:  he compulsively follows his talent in spite of the
fact that such following by him leads to the dissolving of his
relationships.
  This book is an excellent portrait of human life as it is.
More novelists might well imitate Roth's honesty in portraying
human experience.

Question: The best body shaper ever

I'm very satisfied with this body shaper. It hold my mid section in just how I want it to. I'll recommend this body shaper to family and friends. I like the fact the body shaper can be worn as a thong or full coverage on my back side. The straps are removable and adjustable. If you are looking for the perfect body shaper then this is the one for you.

This dress is perfect for work.  I agree that going a size up if you are curvier is a smart thing- I usually were a dress 10/L and I went with the XL to make it more work appropriate.  Already got multiple compliments- its a big hit!

Question: Felt good about treating my dogs

I like these treats.  I wanted a soft treat for my senior dog with 3 teeth and a tasty treat for both him and my adult dog.  They really liked these treats and I felt good giving these to them.  I just wish they were not so expensive.

I'm pickey when selecting books for my granddaughter. This fit all my criteria and the girls enjoy these classic stories.

Question: Happy For What I Got!

I am truly happy happy happy with this case. Fits perfect for my tablet and looks very professional looking. Would recommend anyone to buy this case. Like I said before I am truly Happy Happy Happy with mine...!

Arrived Earlier than expected. Questionable Quality. Won't last Long but will do for the Price. Wearing it occasionally and Hand Washing/ Drying Flat might Help. I ordered Several, and the Sizing is so inconsistent. Like a Roll of the Dice.
The Darker Hues are really Lint/ Shedding Magnets, especially the Black One!
Shipping cost more than the Garment.
I ordered the Largest Size possible and I'm a 14 and if these were made with Buttons, a few wouldn't be wearable to Me.

I'm a very no nonsense type of gal when it comes to jewelry, meaning I only wear stud earrings and a watch plus my usual boho ankle bracelet (think seashells and turtles) but my bf bought me this as a birthday gift and I am so in love. I have worn it multiple times in the shower and it hasn't changed color or started to rust. It's super durable and very beautiful without being over the top- there's just enough sparkle to make you believe it's expensive. I love love love it and I'm so thankful my bf got it for me. Don't hesitate to buy !!!

****1 month update*****
Still just as sparkly as when I got it, no rusting or dullness, so happy with the purchase

This was an entrancing story of meddling father, his confirmed bachelor son and a desperate mother seeking to protect her son from "evil, vindictive" grandparents.  It is an absolute page turner that I hated to have put down.  It has some wonderful relationships develop between a variety of characters with a couple of unexpected plot twists.  I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a lighthearted love story and believes in true love. I am going to find Books 1 and 2 before reading Book 4.  Each is stand alone, but the characters are related.

Question: Excellent option for security, looks great and solidly made.

Looks great and very solidly made.  Not many options for brushed metal look as all of these tend to be brass...but this one worked great.  Had to do some retrofit on our door due to how tight it was to the frame, but works great and looks very nice.

Despite the nice cover, this book is a complete waste of time. The other review calling it a "Good Intermediate Level Reading" must be a friend of the author. It's not. It's basic, juvenile and simply rehashes news stories about Bitcoin from various publications. First, I read the whole thing in 35 minutes. It's not "24 hours" like many computer books. Many chapters are exactly one short paragraph, with a few links throwin in. If you've even read one or two news articles on Bitcoins, you already know pretty much everything you get in this book. Although the author did include a few helpful links, he rehashes all the high level overview and exactly the same examples (to the letter) you'll find reading about Bitcoins in USA Today or Forbes or Financial Times.

Some of the suggestions are pure idiocy. For example:

- At the beginning of the book, he introduces his idea of "The 21 Day Bitcoin Billionaire." Simply put, the author says to imagine you're starting with $1,000 of Bitcoins, and you double it every day. In 21 days you're a billionaire. He neglects to mention how exactly he proposes that you'll double your Bitcoin value every day. It's a nice thought, but the book fails to deliver anything useful.

- "16th Hour: Earn Real Money By Selling Bitcoin Hardware." Seriously? If you had the technical savvy required to manufacture very high tech, computer hardware with cutting edge ASIC chips, and programming expertise needed to actually make it work, you wouldn't be reading this oversimplified eBook.

- Another bit of wisdom is to search for Bitcoin deals online, so "You can possibly luck up on an awesome Bitcoin deal that you may be able to sell for a higher price point thus netting a profit." That's as profound as saying "look for great deals on eBay so you can buy something cheap and resell it to someone else for a higher price." Not exactly helpful.

This whole book seems to be a scheme to get you to send him Bitcoins as a tip for his invaluable services. Even if you know absolutely nothing about Bitcoins, this book is a waste of time.

Question: Excellet,Helpful And Informational Book For Anyone Dealing With Divorce

I highly recommend this book. It is an excellent and easy to understand book for anyone to read prior to, or while, going through a divorce. The author did a fantastic job describing his ordeal and offers many helpful steps to follow to ensure you are prepared for what can happen. All divorces are different but I can easily see how the authors insightful information can be applied and adjusted to various difficulties with soon-to-be ex's divorce tactics. Outstanding effort on the authors part in how he put his kids well being at the top. Thumbs up.

These folks are amazing. Placed my order a few days before Christmas and even at the busiest time of the year they responded to my request and shipped it out the same day!! And the bear was totally awesome. Fluffy and wonderful!!

Question: Does NOT disappoint! GREATEST HITS of EW&F is a bona fide pleaser!

Try having some friends over and watch what happens when EW&F starts playing...it is almost like being semi-catatonic in that the foot start tapping/hand starts tapping/ hips start swaying...get your funk on and enjoy the greatest hits of EW&F!

There were absolutely no instructions on how to put this together. One single piece of paper with extremely tiny pictures and three steps I had to YouTube a video on how to put this together. The arms are extremely long so I highly suggest trimming them to the length you desire BEFORE you put them up. If you have shorter ceilings-- these are extremely long cables and the desired effect is not achievable. I also suggest getting much larger wire caps because the one provided are not big enough to hold all of the wires together, they will separate once you put the main piece up (found out the hard way and had to take it down again).  I also suggest stripping the wires about an inch more than what they're already pre-stripped because it makes it easier for the wires to connect and get that current running.  Cables are really wavy but I'm sure after time and they settle  they will straighten out.

Question: My 54 year old father loved them

My father was very excited to get these. He said everything about them was correct for the time. The solders are very well made.

This an extremely well researched book that covers all the Mandingo books and also goes over the almost completely forgotten "plantation books" genre.  The section on the films has extensive interviews with both directors and a ton of information that I did not know.  The area devoted to quotes from almost every negative review these cult classics got is really priceless.  It also goes into other truly strange movies in the "slavesploitation" genre.  I had not heard anything about this book before buying it, but was really surprised how interesting it was and it's definitely worth getting.

Question: Cheap, easy fix for a busted remote

Using this for a 2004 Ford Mustang and it works like a charm.

This is not the first time I've ordered one of these replacement shells and it probably won't be the last.  The plastic loop attachment (where it hooks onto a keychain) tends to get worn down after a couple years of use and breaks off.  I only have one of these keyless entry remotes for my car, without it I can't disarm my car's alarm and my car will not start if the alarm goes off.  So obviously, I really don't want to lose the little remote and its important that it works (trust me you do not want to get stuck in a parking garage somewhere late at night because your remote stopped working.  Been there, done that - it is NOT fun!).

This replacement shell is perfect.  Shipped fast and I had it all set up and working within 5 minutes of picking up the package on my porch.  Just open the the old case, carefully extract the chip and gently put it in the front half of the new shell then place the battery in the other half, clip it shut and you're all set!  No need to program it or anything.

This shell actually feels slightly nicer than the one it replaced.  The rubber insert is less stiff so the buttons feel more responsive and it clips together nice and tight so the outside edge is smoother and cleaner looking.

All around a really great product, I highly recommend!

Took a bit to get the kindle in but it fits like a glove. I love the color. I gave it 4 stars cuz it doesn't stand up like the pic shows. I still have to balance it.

Question: James Herriot is the Vet To Have Take Care of Your Animals

Loved this show when it appeared on our local PBS TV channel.  Decided to get the DVD so I can enjoy the vets whenever I want.  The narrator of the audible book is the actor portraying James Herriot in the TV show so it is like meeting up with old friends.  I recommend getting their audible book and the DVD.  Such a good feeling story.

It made a great cup of coffee. No issues there. Nice looking and well made (in China). It was a bit noisy, but the shower head provided excellent coverage. The pre-soak feature was nice.

I did not like the carafe at all. You have to screw on the spout not only to retain heat, but to pour without dribbling everywhere. Plus, there is still the dreaded inside lip everyone talks about that prevents complete emptying of the carafe. I returned it. For what its worth, at about half the price it made coffee almost as good as the Mochamaster I replaced it with. (Note: the Mochamaster I bought has a normal glass pot.)

Easy installation. Works just as well as the original screen my nieces destroyed.

From my daughter: this is my first time owning an eyebrow pencil and I really like it. It goes on really smooth and you barely have to press down to apply it. The brush on the end is perfect for shaping and also for blending in the pencil a bit to make it look really natural. Brown was a perfect match for my dark brown hair.

Question: The force is strong in my family

Coolest dad in the world here.  Son loves it.  Thinks he is stuff now.  Works great together or separate.

I opened the package and began assembling the hole saw and noticed it was misshapen. It was slightly in the shape of an oval. The item's packaging did not seem to be damaged, but the shipping packaging was a bit shoddy (a lot of bubble wrap around the item, wrapped inside cardboard--not in a box--and taped up to hold the cardboard in place). However, I would venture to say it had been damaged prior to shipment and went unnoticed.

I suspect that most buyers, like myself, aren't buying this for one time use. That being the case, I would suggest investing in a more expensive hole saw that is constructed of a stronger, thicker metal. $35-40 range will get a product that will last much longer than this one. With this, it seems you get what you pay for.

Question: Easy to use and good quality

Find the center of your tree trunk, drill a 1/4" hole. In the bottom center of the tree stand there is a 1" tall spike. If you put that spike in the hole you drilled in tree trunk your tree will be straight and this tree stand is as easy as can be to use. We got a 12' tree with a trunk about 8" in diameter and still for 3 gallons of water in it. Love this treestand!

The color is great and the flavor reminds me of the paellas of Spain.  It contains saffron and is so much easier to use.

Question: Another amazing love story of this generation

At first, I thought this book would be another cheesy love story but as i kept reading, theres nothing cheesy about it. I love Eleanor and Park, it makes you keep wanting more and more until you fall off the cliff of this book.
It also came in great condition when I got it and I would definitely buy from this seller again.

My figure arrived looking like a giraffe so I had to open the box and fix his head (I don't open my POP! boxes so this hurt a little.) For whatever reason there is 5 small sharpie markings on the window part of my box. There is also a 2 inch sharpie streak by star lords feet. One positive is that the figure has a nice paint job.

Question: Excellent, delightful,hilarious and awesome!!!

Wonderful!!! Just bought #2 & 3 and can't wait to start reading them!!!!  Enjoyed all the character's and found myself laughing out loud .  Would recommend it to all my book reading friends!!!.

Compared to Carlo Rovelli's excellent books on physics and quantum gravity, this books reads like watching paint dry. When reading this book I can almost envision a stand-in for the author in a physics lecture room boring a freshman class with his monotone insights. I almost feel like this book should be relabeled 'Quantum lectures for dummies'. The condescension came through in every page and eventually turned me off. I have a background in physics and math and was reading this to get some insights into the basics of quantum physics. What I got is a total turn off conceptually. The ideas are here but conveyed in painfully slow, pedantic, and lifeless prose.

Question: ... up from what I thought I needed and they're great. The pockets are really big

I ordered a size up from what I thought I needed and they're great.  The pockets are really big.  But I'm pretty happy overall.  The slimming front panel is very effective!  I just had a baby and these are a great, stretchy solution.

"Alien from Earth" is a documentary about Homo floresiensis, nicknamed the hobbit, a curious hominin living on the island of Flores in Indonesia until about 12,000 years ago.

Some scientists still refuse to believe that we are dealing with a genuinely new human species. The hobbit was tiny, had a small brain, but could nevertheless make tools and hunt. This goes against most of what we think we know about the evolution of the human brain. Their ancestry is also a mystery. Were they descended from Homo erectus? If so, why would natural selection *shrink* a hominin and its large brain? Do the so-called "island rule" really apply to humans? Sceptics believe that "Homo floresiensis" is really a collection of pathological specimens, perhaps suffering from microcephaly.

The NOVA documentary sides with those who believe that Homo floresiensis was a bona fide species of early human. Their hypothesis is that Australopithecus may have left Africa, evolved into "Dmanisi Man" and then branched off into Homo erectus and Homo floresiensis. ("Dmanisi Man" is a strange honimin found in the former Soviet republic of Georgia. It's currently considered a subspecies of Homo erectus.) The hobbit kept many of the original australopithecine features, including the diminutive size, while evolving greater intelligence. On the isolated island of Flores, this dwarfed humanoid survived well into "our" Stone Age, perhaps being killed off by a volcanic eruption.

It's a fascinating hypothesis. And why not? Evolution is supposed to be a bush, rather than a neat "tree" or "great chain of being". There are other examples of evolutionary convergence, so why can't human-like intelligence evolve in different lineages? Personally, I tend towards the heretical notion that evolution might be teleological (don't tell my former biology teacher, please!), but there is nothing anti-teleological in the notion that nature slowly and meanderingly gropes its way towards human intelligence (and, hopefully, beyond it!) rather than following a straight path. So what's the fuzz all about, really? Research grants as usual? :P

Another fascinating aspect of the question, only briefly touched upon "Alien from Earth", is the connection between the hobbit and various cryptids. Many people have heard of the Orang Pendek, and it seems there are similar legends at Flores about a creature known as Abu Gogo or "The grandmother who eats anything". A bit like Gollum, perhaps? Could these particular ghost-stories have a basis in earthly fact? One issue not belaboured in the documentary is how the tiny hobbits, or their larger cousins Homo erectus, could reach Flores in the first place? Could they build rafts? Or did they pass across temporary land bridges formed by volcanic activity?

"Alien from Earth" gives a fascinating look into our murky prehistory, which may still hide a surprise or two. Five stars.

Question: This is a really great book because it is highly informed by solid research

This is a really great book because it is highly informed by solid research, and it puts a Christian account of the world, including its ontological, epistemological,  and ethical claims in a story--the actual unfolding story of God's plan for His creation and His image bearers.  This not only makes the book more interesting to read, but it also makes it easy and relevant for Koukl to compare the Christian story/worldview with alternatives as to how they actually play out in individual people's stories.  Thus, the existential relevance of Christianity falls out of the worldview assessment of the Christian story compared to alternatives.  Thus, theoretical and practical aspects of Christianity are glued together as they should be.  Thanks, Greg, for years of study and refection on life that served as essential preparation for a book like this.  JP Moreland

Question: Like Water for Chocolate, Sort of

I will be brief.

The premise of the book is good.  The storyline is not.

The authors are talented at creating local color. However, the point of view is so detached from the action, of which there is little, that it is off-putting. By that, I mean, I felt as if Debbie Sue and Edwina were narrating the love story instead of integral parts of the story itself.

Also, the ridiculous substitution of a pair of gray corduroy slippers for Elvis' blue suede shoes without apparent detection of the discrepancy by the populace at large made me doubt their native intelligence.  A lot of this book was engineered to make me doubt the intelligence of the citizens.  The sheriff is a joke, and they drew him cruelly in my opinion.  If you elect an idiot as your sheriff, what does that make you?

Also, at times the profanity was jarring, as it was not necessary in most cases.  If the authors no longer have anything of value to say, then they should stop writing until they do.

Love it!  Had it drilled at our local pro-shop.  My son's game has improved!

Although a simple story the film presented it beautifully.  Acting was flawless with good casting of characters. The film was visually stunning and I liked that it was filmed in the actual location of the book which the film was based on.

Question: He thought he'd killed her - now he'd do anything to protect her

Eighteen years ago, Josh Kendall was a young AFT agent. Part of a team surrounding a compound run by the psychotic, compelling leader of the Young Believers cult, Mordecai Young, Josh is involved in a disastrous shootout. Many of the teenagers held captive by Young are shot, including Elizabeth Marcum, seventeen years old, who is critically injured by a bullet traced to Josh's weapon. When he visits her in hospital, she's in a coma and the staff tell him that she won't survive the week.

Unknown to Josh, Elizabeth did survive. Seventeen years later, she faced Young again - told in THICKER THAN WATER - and as a result of that confrontation the FBI has given her a new identity. Now, she's Beth Slocum, living in a small Vermont town, always vigilant, trusting no-one but Maudie Beckham, the 70-something owner of the former Blackberry Inn. What Elizabeth - Beth - doesn't know is that Young has discovered where she's living and he's on his way to get her...

Tipped off, the feds have to do something, and Josh's former boss, now Beth's government contact, knows what. Every agent sent to protect Beth has been sent home with his tail between his legs - she knows a fed when she sees one, and she wants nothing to do with them. Josh was made a scapegoat by ATF after the raid and has owned his own security consulting business ever since. He's not a government man and, more importantly, will do anything to keep Beth alive. Hired to guard a woman he doesn't know, he gets the shock of his life when he recognises Beth Slocum as Elizabeth Marcum.

Lying to her from the moment they meet, Josh tells her that he's Maudie's grandson. In order to win her trust, as their relationship develops he tells her that he's attracted to her and, later, that he loves her. Although Beth is always suspicious and convinced that Josh is lying - despite another reviewer's comment that she believes Josh's thin tales - she hasn't enough to go on and, once she realises that Young is indeed in the area, she has to decide whether or not to trust Josh regardless that she knows he's lying to her. Besides, she's attracted to him. But will the truth, if and when it finally comes out, destroy her feelings for him? And will Young get to Beth and her loved ones despite Josh's vigilance?

I don't normally read romantic suspense, but I enjoy Shayne's writing and am not sorry that I picked up this book (though I now need to read the prequel and sequel too!). Themes of atonement and forgiveness are well addressed in here: is it possible to start over? Josh has to find that out not only in relation to Beth, but also with his son Bryan (a well-drawn secondary character). The villain is also not a cardboard cut-out nasty guy. Young is clearly psychotic, hearing voices in his head which tell him what to do. While he obviously has some psychic ability, he could have done with psychiatric help a long time ago. Convinced that everything he does, including commit murder, is for a greater good, serving the god who rules his life, he can't conceive of any of his acts as evil. And, in the end, he finds some good in himself by saving a life the `voices' intended him to kill. Redemption as a theme, indeed.

With a cast of interesting, lively and well-portrayed secondary characters, COLDER THAN ICE was an entertaining read and I look forward to reading the other books in the trilogy.

As the prior books in the series, I could not put this one down.  This one was more intense than the other ones.  I really liked how the two characters are brought together by a dark past neither one wanted to confront.  But together they would heal each other and grow.  I also enjoy how the author introduces the characters for the next upcoming book.

looking forward to the next story.

This DVD version of "Ben-Hur" is excellent, with very good extras. It has a documentary on the several renditions of "Ben-Hur" since the book, going through the 19th-century stage shows, the silent movie, and the present movie version. It includes interviews with historians and with people involved in making both movie versions, and it is interesting to watch from start to finish - Gore Vidal's stories are particularly amusing. There are also a couple of screen tests and a commentary by Charlton Heston, which unfortunately does not run throughout the whole picture but at least you can skip from one commented bit to the next. Heston's comments are sometimes interesting, sometimes not; and he actually seems to think that the village where Jesus spent his early adulthood was Bethlehem rather than Nazareth!  But it was definitely wrth listening to it.
As for the film itself, it is great, if flawed. All the main actors give fine performances, especially Stephen Boyd as Messala and Jack Hawkins as Arius. It takes some liberties with the book - which is not a bad thing since I think the book wasn't a very good piece of work - and with history, but nothing too outrageous, apart from having a Circus Maximus in Jerusalem rather than Rome. On the other hand, the recreation of small details of daily life is very good - the business-as-usual manner of the jailer trying to find out where in the dungeons Ben-Hur's mother and sister might be; the backstage arrangements of the chariot race.
It does contain some historical absurdities, but less so than "Gladiator", for instance. And it does get a bit slow towards the end - - but altogether it remains a great film, and it certainly deserved its Oscars far more than, say, "Titanic".
