Question: Beautiful Book - OK story

I realize I will be tared and feathered by the hordes of Tolkien Fans but it must be said.... I've read better.  The collector's edition of the Hobbit was a gift for my birthday...the book itself is beautifully bound with wonderful illustrations.  I'm not saying that I hated the book.  It had a wonderful story with interesting ideas and characters (and is a must read for anyone who wishes to attempt to read the Lord of the Rings "series" in it's entirety), but (yes there is a but here) the story can be slow going at times not to mention the big made-up words and names that totally through you off.  True, when dealing with a new, made-up world you have new words/names , but you don't need to make them 14 letters long and unpronounceable.
So what am I saying?  If you want to "collect" books just to say you have them...buy the leather-bound collectors addition.  If you want to read a well-written book...go read The Sword of Truth.

The towels are not plush and even though I  was just going to use them to continue the Lighthouse theme the color is not a true blue but has an aqua and grayish tint to them.  The embroidery is good size and there was a quick delivery, it was not quite as good quality as I would have liked.

Question: So many hunks... so little time :)

This compilation of novellas is super entertaining. Hunks all over the place loving and saving the girls. Strong female leads too. Thoroughly  enjoyable. Take you blanket and your coffee outside for all kinds of sweet and sexy romances.

bright colors and penguin pattern just as pictured. fabric is soft and breathable. the size 10 fits loosely but comfortably on my 8 year old son (48" tall), so definitely order a size or 2 up unless you want this to be skin tight. it hasn't shrunk much after washing/drying a few times. the pant length is probably true to size but since it is cuffed it should not be a problem for kids who are not as tall as size 10.

Question: Fun and Games the soft way

The pen lines in the book are simple and strong through out the book. The subject may be a little hard for some, that is O.K.. There are a lot of things I don't like.

Bought this months ago and FINALLY put them up last weekend on our barn for some ambient holiday decoration.  Put them up in the daylight and the instructions said you will have to wait a day for them to charge up - but they started working 3-4 hours later when it got dark.  These are definitely not a bright white xmas light - more like a warm glow and very little lights themselves.  I'm contemplating buying a second strand to put up on the barn to overlap, just to make it look denser - not necessarily brighter.  But my husband is a fan and he is generally morally opposed to xmas lights, so I consider that a win in and of itself.  Because they aren't aggressive, I may consider keeping them up past the season to see how long they work - I really like the look - very understated - and they don't scream christmas.  Very happy with purchase & will likely buy more.

Question: Great pictures great poses!

Quality made calendar with a variety of kinds of squirrels. My 16 yr old daughter loves squirrels and this calendar fits the bill!

It works just as described. I use it to check temps on R/C motors.

It also comes in handy for checking appliance temperatures such as dryers. Had a fuse blow on ours months back and this gives me piece of mind.

If you have elderly family who believe their thermostat is broken, this is a nice tool to confirm or disprove that.

If you have an overweight cat that won't play with regular toys, the laser serves well here. Don't point it at their eyes and always reward them at the end of a short chase.

This is one of those tools you buy for one reason and find yourself using it over and over again. Seems like a great gift idea along with some WD-40, needle nose pliers, and duct tape.

Question: Very happy with my choice

I bought these chimes simply because I liked the way they sounded on the website.  I agree with other reviewers who say they don't hear the Canon in the chimes--and if I did, I wouldn't have bought them (personally, I don't care to listen to a wedding march every time the wind blows). I don't find them too loud at all--during the day they must compete with the hum of the pool pump and a couple of fountains, plus residential traffic noise and the other sounds of suburbia. At night when everything else is quieter, that's when I really enjoy the pure sound. I'm very happy with my choice.

I have a John Deere LX280 Lawn Tractor that I bought in 2005.  It came with Carlisle tires as original equipment, and they have never presented a problem in terms of losing traction, damaging the turf  grass, keeping tire pressure, etc.  I finally wore out the front tires and needed new ones.  The back tires are still in great shape, and didn't need replacing.  I wanted to go back to OEM tires, and I was able to thanks to Amazon and Pete's tires.  The pricing, was good, and the shipping was excellent.

The tractor rides as good as the day it was delivered.

Question: Holy Wow! Amazing Read!!

I absolutely, unequivocally, loved this book!! Bravo TM Frazier!! You have reached in and touched is all in the dark places in our minds!! I can't say enough great things about this book except that you need to read it if you haven't!!

I've been a fan of the band Blondie for quite some time and I read everything I can get my hands on about this band.  Gary Valentine's book is by far the best look at Blondie's early years.  It's a witty, funny, insightful view of the New York rock scene of the 1970's.  Since Gary was a member of Blondie during their early days he has all the stories you could hope for about life with the band when they were just beginning and he lends insight into the creativity that went into the writing of his two most notable Blondie contributions - X Offender and Presence, Dear.  Just about everyone you'd be interested in from this time period makes some sort of appearance in this book - Johnny Thunders, David Bowie, Iggy Pop, Patti Smith, Richard Hell, Captain Sensible, Tom Verlaine, etc.  I will read this one over and over again.  Gary takes a good long look at what differentiated the New  York, London and LA punk scenes and it's one fun and fascinating read.  If you are a fan of Blondie or the 70's glam or punk scene or the early 80's new wave scene then you must get this one!

Question: Evil, Sociopathic Ghost and the Dagger... Spoiler Alert!!

M.J. and Heath met and teamed up for the complicated tale of international murder, robbery, and betrayal amongst thieves. The trapped ghosts of the famous hotel are all sent towards 'the light', while the mean Turkish pirate is trapped in his blade.
The plot towards the end became a tad garbled with the secondary characters and  rising action scenes, but the end result could only mean we, the readers, will be seeing more of Heath and M.J. together.

Not my favorite. It can get confused and you have to unplug it to get it to recombobulate itself. Not much bass.

Question: Great water bottle, leaky lid.

The Hydroflask itself is great, as they all are. But the lid leaks! My son had it in his backpack and it leaked all over his books and schoolwork!! We have several other hydroflasks with the straw lids that have never leaked so this is disappointing.

My wife loves this scale, however the first one we got from amazon ended up breaking after a few weeks. Oxo was good enough to replace it free of charge. Our second one works fine as of so far and is an awesome addition to our kitchen.

Question: More or less and also old

The most of the examples are not recent, and some examples are recycled many times, good book, but it is outdated and also could be resumed.

I'm pretty disappointed with this scraper. It is very obviously _not_ precision ground as listed in the description, and appears more like a piece of metal saw-cut into a triangular shape. The molded handle is also poorly finished, although comfortable.

If you're looking for an expensive letter opener, this might be for you. If you're looking for a quality machinist's scraper, look elsewhere.

My daughter loves the style.  I didn't rate 5 stars because I noted several "scuffs" on it when it arrived and some discolored areas.  I wish the magnets for the straps were a bit stronger.  That being said, for the price, it is a great buy!  Happy daughter too.

Question: not much different than cheaper versions

The auger works pretty well, but it does not get through clay that well.  The auger spiral doesn't extend far enough to help get throught the harder soil, so if you can jam the bit in at least 3 inches, the auger function doesn't work.  Also this auger really isn't much different than the one from Lowes that is only $15.

Like it. It looks stylish and has a slim fit. The back is a little smooth so hold on tight.

Question: This is a great dog pen

This is a great dog pen.  I wish it came in larger size though.  I got the largest size and would have liked one a bit larger.  Also, it would have been nice to have a divider for this kennel.

The tactical tracer isn't the hottest or fastest ddr3 on the market and they aren't cheep. If your looking for performance or price look at something else. Now if you are running a case with a window where you can see the ram like a lot of gamers are, these will give you a wow factor. The tracer has built in led lights that can be set to either red or green,  The second variety is blue or orange. Sorry they have two varieties with just two colors each. There are actually two sets of lights built in. The main lights you can see from the top. The second set of lights are at the base and light up around the sockets. With a free utility you can set the color you want and it doesn't have to be the same as the top lights. The chips can be set for the color you want and they have different patterns the lights flash in.  You can set each chip with a different pattern. The harder the ram is working the faster they flash. The tracer is one of the few ddr3 options you can get to show your ram at work. The free utility can also show you the ram temp on screen. They can be overclocked with ease depending on your cooling. With just a glance I can tell how hard a program is working or if it's hung up. If you do case mods with lights to show the motherboard these will make your computer stand out from the rest.

Question: Not consistent! I ordered 4 of these (2 rectangular, 2 semi-circular). They were NOT THE SAME RUG!

I ordered 4 of these - 2 rectangular and 2 semi-circular. 3 of them match. The 4th (rectangular) is completely different, and not at all as nice. The colors and texture are vastly different. I have tried multiple times to get replacements, but they just keep sending me the wrong version. Now its too late to return the other 3, and I wanted 4 that matched, as they are going in one room. If you can get the nicer version, its a lovely rug. Good luck with that, though. The other one has strange red lines in it that just don't fit the look at all.

I like it but not great quality. My yorkie does not destroy his toys an I have had to sew this one few times now because it was coming apart at stitching.. My yorkie loves it by the way!

Question: Delighted my little friend and pleased her parents

I chose this book as a gift for a child in my neighborhood and she liked it very much and wanted to share it with her little friends and siblings.  My opinion is that her opinion is a far better measure of the book than mine in terms of enjoyment of the materials, but I also observe from her parents' remarks that it is very instructive.

This debut novel is really well written and I was impressed with the way the author weaves the story and brings in the secondary characters. However, the one thing that really let this story down was Claire, the main character. She was so selfish and childish. I dislike stories where a woman keeps her pregnancy and the resulting child away from the father unless there is a stonking good reason. Her reason was poor and impossible to accept. I might have been more accepting of it if it hadn't been clear how much Austin loved her and had always loved her and how much they were all missing out (especially their son) by being apart. She had already realised Charlie needed his dad yet she made no effort to try to let Austin know about him. It took a chance meeting and Austin's determination for her to 'fess up.

I liked Austin. I felt his pain and I felt he acted extremely fairly and forgiving based on what he had missed out on, as well as Claire's continuing irrational and fluctuating behaviour. One minute she's apologising to him and then she's taking major offence at something he says or does and freezes him out for days, only to suddenly start teasing him again. I also felt her behaviour with John was wrong and childish. As another reviewer pointed out, her need for independence is pushed to ridiculous extremes.

Finally, there were a number of instances where titbits of information were given and then not pursued. Some of it may be to pre-empt future books, introducing characters and situations that will play a part in them. However, there were some odd references like the fact Claire had a generous trust fund but chose to live simply so her son wouldn't act spoiled. I think the author was trying to convey her independent streak but all I could think about was: why does she have a broken front door if she has money to pay for it? If her son means so much to her why hasn't she replaced the door with something more secure? Another reference was to what Austin's publicist or manager  may or may not have released to the press. If you put something like that out there, it needs to be pursued/explained.

So overall I think this author shows great promise but a few of those loose ends need tidying up and her main female character needed to grow-up and take responsibility for her actions and the hurtful things she says. She is lucky Austin adores her regardless.

Question: Unexpected Treasure About a True Diamond

Especially in her diamond year, there was a glut of "new" material about QEII.  As an unabashed Anglophile, I bought a bit of it and watched all of the ceremonies on BBC America.  I already had a lot of documentaries about her and the Windsors.  This one appeared in parts on my local PBS station and I was able to catch only bits and pieces of it.  For the longest time, I did not realize there were THREE episodes in this program.

Of course, the slant of the program is completely pro-monarchy and flattering to the Queen - no problem for me!  This series offers input from most of the principal members of the Royal Family, which I loved.  Somehow the film-maker was able to balance their take on her while keeping her mystery intact.  There is an especially moving remembrance by Lord Mountbatten's grandson, who survived the IRA bombing which killed his grandfather and others, in which he describes being cared for and sheltered by the Queen and family at Balmoral immediately after he was released from the hospital.

The series is in basically three parts: 1) a basic overview of her and the Windsor family history; 2) what the Queen does and why she is so important to the British and indeed, the world; 3) challenges she has faced and weathered.  There are lots of new photos - at least new to me.  The one of her aboard the Britannia is worth the price of this series alone.

There were some really wonderful documentaries that came out to celebrate her Diamond Anniversary, including the wonderful 60 Glorious Years set.  What this one brought was unprecedented access - with her family.  Naturally, none of this could have been done without her help and support.  I am so glad that I went back and got the Diamond Queen.  It added yet another dimension to someone who truly is a Diamond Queen.

The equipment seems to be well-made and arrived in excellent condition. I have not yet used it due to my need for the consummables. When I am able to purchase them. I think it will be grand. btw, a note to the buyers describing just what one needs to become operational would be welcome. I am eager to put this to work.

Question: Can't leave home without it

I started wilderness camping a few years ago and I have used this book for wonderfully tasty meals.  When weight and space are an important consideration (portaging can be ugly) this book makes me look like a pro.  Dehydrated store-bought food can be expensive and disappointing in taste and portions.  This book has a simple approach to everything.  I like the ease of preparation rating system, suggestions for packing the recipe as well as preparation in camp.  Pictures make it easy even for a novice.  I usually make a copy of the recipe and put it in the baggie with all the ingredients for the recipe.  I like this book well enough to give it as a gift to our friends.

This is a great book for all of us who enjoy English Teas, to elegant breakfast treats, to just a terrific snack for for the kids or drop in visits with friends.  There is everything from the basic scone to many varieties---including sweet treats, spicy delights, and savory tidbits!!  Couple of my favorites were the white chocolate & cranberries, the October pumpkin, the ham & cheese, and the cheesy corn with just a touch of heat.  Everything for even the pickiest eater.  Extra bonus is the receipt for making your own clotted clean, and lemon curd.  Easy recipes with clear directions!!

Question: Replacement piece for charger

I have to say this was a waste of money.  If I push it into the electric socket, the charging light goes on, but as soon as I let go, there is no charge.  Needless to say it doesn't work.  Lesson learned.

A READER'S OPINION: Bitter Springs is an interesting little town in Wyoming, but not nearly as interesting as its residents. Kellen Coltrane isn't what you'd expect. Yes, I figured out his real identity early on, but that didn't stop the enjoyment of watching the townsfolk try to figure out Coltrane. Lorraine Berry is a force to be reckoned with, but that doesn't stop her tender side from showing when she's with Kellen. Their chemistry is wonderful, and Goodman knows how to write a great scene that doesn't detract from the story. The townsfolk are just as endearing, especially two little rascals called Rabbit and Finn. Charm, wit, and romance are all wrapped into one great story.

The secondary characters in Bitter Springs were a surprise and a delight and I eagerly awaited their interactions with the hero and heroine. Jo Goodman does not disappoint with this sensational, well-researched, highly sensual, and cleverly-written western historical romance. Goodman has fast become one of my favorite authors.

Question: Another 5 stars for Jillian

I was gonna give this book 4.5 stars cuz I don't like keatyn and Dawson's relationship. It seemed like all he really cared about was sex. she couldn't even have a conversation without him stripping her clothes off and mauling her. I kept yelling at the book cuz I just wanted Aiden to tell her how he felt and I wanted to hit her cuz she felt something for him but kept ignoring it. But the ending gave the 1/2 star back.

Sound output is thin, lifeless, bass-less and product is poorly constructed, the high praise by WHATHIFI.COM makes me scratch my head, if you have doubt and want to believe the hype, buy using amazon so you have the ability to return if needed. Bought two, returning both today.

Question: Fantastic historical drama

I read the book and loved it. This mini series captures the story, history and characters perfectly as written by Phillipa Gregory. And the writing and directing makes you want to keep watching the next episode. Definitely binge worthy.

These stories have captivated me.  I'm sorry to see this one end because now I have to wait for "Cheating Death" to come out.  Archer, Saira, Ringo, and the clan have become so real to me because of these books.  I love how the author has woven real life historical events in with the story.  I can not wait for the next book to get here.  It's going to be a long wait (or feel like a long wait).  Can't recommend these books enough.  The writing is absolutely breathtaking.

Question: but has some great features. It is soft and thin

Being 5'1"" I was concerned that this long dress would look utterly ridiculous. It is modest, yes, but has some great features. It is soft and thin, so it's perfect for a warm day without having to wear tights or nylons. It has pockets which makes it functional. The material is stretchy so it doesn't pinch my arms. It can be worn with wedges, booties, flats, or sandals. It definitely has an art teacher/Stevie Nicks vibe to it since on me it goes almost to my ankles, but it's comfortable for all day wear and walking. I'd consider buying another if it were about $5 cheaper (not sure about the durability).

TLDR; normal size 0-2, purchased Small, fit TTS.

This book has beautiful pictures and tell all the aspects off the game, but you have to go to there website to learn these aspects. This "call out box" idea is terrible. They say if you are still haveing trouble with the very little info we gave you you can waste more of your time at our website.

Question: Would definitely recommend for comfort

Wore these for about a half a year now. Would definitely recommend for comfort, grip, style, and warmth. Excellent fall/early winter boot if you want to stay fashionable. I wouldn't recommend using these boots for shoveling a lot of snow, snowmobiling, ice fishing, or any activities where you'll be subjected to long periods in single digit cold or semi-deep snow. Honestly I wish I would have bought a pair of "heavy duty" type winter boots for the Detroit winter grind, and kept these clean and crispy for going out to bars and walking around downtown.

Awesome customer service!! Super professional. These people really do care about the planet AND the customer. Would definitely recommend to friends and family with environmental concerns.

Perfect.  I use to to cover the front of my stand up desk in my office

I'm not sure how else it could have come so I won't complain about the size or weight of the 3 pieces.  It is exactly how it appears in the photos.  Before I confirmed the purchase I looked at all of the "actual" customer photos.  It is my proudest buy from Amazon.  I ordered specifically for additional cabinet space.  Although it doesn't offer a ton, just really two additional spaces and a couple of drawers.  The real bonus is the additional counter space and the drop leaf for seating.  After a month of use I have started to let the leaf down just to ensure my kids aren't applying too much pressure on a consistent basis.

Moments of Surrender: Revealing the Missing Pieces is author Charlene Bolden's poignantly inspiring and sincere account of early betrayal, victimization and struggle. Ms. Bolden moves beyond profound personal tragedy by way of deep religious conviction and plain hard work tempered with refreshing honesty and indomitable courage. "Moments of Surrender" is a remarkable tome of mature, empirical insights that belie this young author's years. It is an engaging, riveting read.

"Moments of Surrender: Revealing the Missing Pieces" is a must read for those who find themselves susceptible to the pressures, pitfalls and challenges of 21st Century life; those in search of hope, meaning and lasting redemption. Most of all, this work by Charlene Bolden should be required reading for all youth navigating a modern dysfunctional world, and who are in dire need of a well-appointed moral compass.

Question: A "storyless story" yes, but a character who does nothing but whine...

I was tempted to give this book one star, but it did have a few interesting sentences and a provocative idea (the omega point, similar to the Eternal Return), but unfortunately, this was the dullest book I've ever read. (Wow!)

Why was it dull? Certainly not because of the philosophical and scientific premises readers were promised the book would be about. These ideas were the only thing that made the book tolerable, as well as the charming character of Bess, the dog.

The book was dull because of the main character's constant whining about her unsatisfactory love life. (Why not leave him? No kids, no ties, nothing holding her but her own pathetic self-pity.) And then there's the "best friend", Libby, another whiner, in the same kind of loveless relationship who is cheating on her rather likeable husband, ruining any chance he has of finding someone who actually cares about him.

If relationship drama was the author's "storyless story", why trick the reader with the Omega Point? Just tell readers straight up this is a Beckett-like exploration of two selfish, self-pitying, and cheating women, not to mention the fact is also a huge waste of trees?

These self-indulgent, whining women had me nearly frantic with boredom, but I stayed because every fifty pages or so, the author inserts an interesting philosophical premise such as writing a "storyless story" and the enigmatic idea of the Omega Point. So if the author can write - which she apparently can - why not write something worth taking up space & time?

Do we readers ever get to explore the author's theoretical premise in depth? Ha - I wish! No doubt because the author didn't care about it to begin with. Did the main character ever explore the "mystery" she claimed was her view of the universe? Uh - No - she mainly whined and knitted (with tedious descriptions on how to knit socks... ummm ... do I need to say more?).

I'm not sorry I read the book.  It took place in Devon and surrounding areas which were well described and almost worth the price of sitting through the characters' whining.

Frankly, Bess, the dog was the only refreshing character who had enough sense to live in the moment without judging every single person around her.

I have one more book by this author - and I'll give it a try - but if it's anything like this one, it's getting donated to the library after 30 pages.

Life is too short.  Get on with the mystery, and let go of the whining, lady.

I needed this terribly.  My memory isn't the best and I was missing appointments or when my child needed to return his library books at school.  Having this on my refrigerator helps me because I see it all day long and I look easily without having to get anything out and thumb through tons of pages.  I love it...

Question: They are however easy to use

I am not sure how to go about describing these.

I first want to say that they are by no means fashionable, not even a little!
They are quite unattractive and I have not yet dared to look at myself in the mirror with them on...

They are however easy to use. You simply clip them over your glasses and carry on. I  just did it as a matter of fact.
It very much turned my entire computer screen yellow as well as the surrounding room- I want to note that it is a pleasant yellow.

I already feel a but less of a strain so I am excited to see how wearing them for a few hours will do.

Although the subject matter of this story was hard to read about, I liked the way the author wrote this story.  Brannon Callahan is a search-and-rescue helicopter pilot for the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. She and her good friend and co-worker, Lincoln, find themselves on a rescue mission in the middle of a blizzard.  Roark Holland is a U.S. Marshall who finds himself on a mission to deliver a heart for a patient who can reveal information on a child trafficking ring if he gets the heart transplant in time.  But there are people out there who would kill to keep the heart from arriving.  When the helicoptor that Roark is in goes down in the storm, Brannon's helicopter finds them and comes to the rescue.  But her helicopter is shot at and they must flee on foot.  Brannon and Roark have a hard time at first liking each other but by the end of the story that will change.
This was a fast paced, action packed book.  I liked the way the book helped you stay up with the time sequences by the place and time headings throughout the book.  I also loved the way Brannon and Lincoln used the "Bible verse" game in any and all situations. It helped them through tough situations and also was a real testimony to Roark. It is hard to believe there are people who would use children the way it is told in this story, but it is good to know there are people out there fighting to keep it from happening. I would also like to thank LibraryThing Early Reviewers for sending me this book to review.

Question: Needed additional com ports on my linux box (Ubuntu 14 ...

Needed additional com ports on my linux box (Ubuntu 14.04). Installed this card and rebooted and everything worked perfectly. No issues so far.

I really liked the subject matter of this book but found the writing style not my cup of tea. First of all, the "bad seed" plot is really well executed. It wasn't cheesy or campy, it was an honest portrayal of raising and living with a psychopath. What shocked me were the amount of school shootings that are referred to in this book. As a public high school teacher, maybe I was in denial about all of it but the references in the book were truly disturbing.

The reason I'm not a huge fan of this book is that the writing was done in the form of letters to the protagonist's husband. Lots of narrative (I'm not an English teacher so not sure that's the right word,) and not a lot of action until the last 50 pages or so. I wish there'd been more time spent on the visits to Kevin, since those were the most compelling parts of the book for me.

Also, I'm glad I got this on a Kindle because there was A LOT of vocab I didn't know and the Kindle has that automatic dictionary feature. Don't get me wrong, I have a pretty good vocabulary and I read a lot but there were many words I have never seen before and I feel like they were out of place.

Anyway, I'd recommend it. It's a little slow going but very compelling. I wasn't sure I wanted to keep reading because I never knew what horrible thing Kevin would do next. And I anticipated the ending which made every click on the page dreadful.

This book definitely gave me a visceral reaction but it was a little long in the tooth for me. Worth the read but don't read it if you're looking for a pic me up!

I watched this movie after finishing the book of the same name by Richard Adams.  The book is quite close to flawless, but I'm afraid that for me, the movie didn't capture the magic of the book.  I know that I shouldn't compare the movie to the book, but I can't help it.  So if you haven't read the book, this review may not be so helpful to you--this is only for those who have read the book.

The positive:  the movie is relatively faithful to the book.  Most of the changes are to reduce the length of the film.  A number of ancillary plots are omitted and some plot lines are combined with others in order to move things along more quickly.  Nothing seriously damaging to the essence of the story.  The animation I think is quite well done, given its age, and the voice actors are generally quite good.

The negative:  I feel as if the move is too short (barely over 90 minutes) to really do the book justice.  The book's main plot is somewhat slow to develop, but this works quite well, because you come to understand, as you are reading, each of the characters and why the rabbits are making the decisions that they make.  Each rabbit has his or her own distinct personality, and each are well-developed.

The movie, in my view, just moves too quickly to capture these nuances.  The rabbits in the movie were very one-dimensional, and several significant characters in the book are omitted altogether.  For instance, all of the stories about El-Ahrairah (save one, mentioned at the very beginning of the movie) have been removed.  I completely understand why this was done:  they aren't "essential" to the story.  But boy, what a disappointing omission--and, I sure feel that these stories are useful to understand why the rabbits are as they are.  At one point in the movie, my daughter asked me where Prince Rainbow was, and I said that I had no idea.

I was awfully excited to see the movie after having finished the book, but I was disappointed.  The movie isn't bad--it's not.  But it is compromised.  For that, it deserves only three stars.

Question: Nice but quit working after 3 days!!

This worked great for 3 days.  On the third day one of the collars quit working.  Both collars needed to be charged after about 5 hours.  The collars spent more time charging then on the dog's necks.  Since other reviewers  had luck with this item I decided to return this defective one and try it one more time.  The collar fits small dogs, which is hard to find. Collar adjusts from 3 inches to about 8 inches.

Our family really got into this series, and thankfully Seasons 1 & 2 are available on Amazon too. It's a good blend of mystery, fun and fantasy - who wouldn't want to be a kick-a** good guy? We really like how the series tells the back story of the past along with the present, each episode you get just a tad bit more as you try to piece together the really story of who Oliver Queen is, and Stephen Amell plays Oliver Queen with just enough of a subtle dark side to keep you guessing. We hope the producers opt for a season 4!

Question: So frustrating and such a waste of money

It kept tripping after about 5 seconds or so the entire time I washed my car!  The very first (and ONLY) time I used it the carrying handle broke.  It seemed defective from the start, unless they're all made cheaply.  So frustrating and such a waste of money.

Excellent product.  I love that it is wireless.  Just set it in the stand when done and it charges and is ready for next use.  Easy to clean both filters.  They are easy to remove and clean.  I have very bad arthritis and have problems with big big vacuums. This one is light weight yet so effficient!

Question: Great for calorie counting

I was really shocked how little this scale was when I opened the box, but I guess it's because I didn't read the "Pocket scale" on the title! However, it's perfect for our kitchen (which is pretty small). It doesn't take up any space and it works great! I measure everything I eat, and it's great for helping you count calories and servings.

Perfect for my father who has Parkinson's! He had trouble fitting the charging cord in his cell phone each night and as a result, would have his cell phone powered down most time so he could avoid having to plug it in.  This is a great product and VERY easy to assemble! It works perfectly and now allows my father to just place his phone down to charge it!

The 3-6 mth bottoms which I thought would definitely fit since she was still in a size 2 diaper. The actual bottom did fit but the bands for her legs looked as if they were cutting off her blood circulation. She had the band marks for a few days after wearing it for only 30 minutes. Needless to say I just put her in the water in her diaper since this didn't work out at well as I had hoped.

Arrived quickly  and was a perfect fit for our daughter to go with her costume. She wears juniors sizes and the one size fits all size worked great.

Question: Inditement of the corrupt American medical industy

A long and very detailed history of Obama Care, but a lot of practical info contained within. A good book for those facing expensive medical care, or people curious about our broken medical system.

This is a really good case.  It mimics an Otterbox Defender perfectly minus the built-in screen protector.  Screen protectors I have felt are overkill anyways.  These screens are fairly scratch-resistant to begin with and as long as you have a case so that it won't lay directly on a surface flat on the screen and also don't put keys in the same pocket as the phone, you should be okay.  They won't protect your screen from cracking if something hits it hard enough.

Anyways, as I stated above, it provides the exact same protection as an Otterbox priced at $50.  The ONLY drawback is the headphone jack port.  It is way too small.  You can't plug anything into it but the slender-ist straight headphone plug.  Good luck plugging 90 degree plugs in that thing.  Luckily, I have a drill press at my work and a ton of different drills so I just bored out a larger-sized hole.  Most people don't have this luxury though.

In closing, unless you have a drill to widen the hole, your headphones have a very slender plug or you just plain don't ever use the headphone jack, I would steer clear of this case.

Question: Great product for gluten caution people

No complains. Keep re-ordering. Will buy again and again. Great product for gluten caution people.

These will certainly outlast any other consumable dog chew product, which makes them a good value despite higher initial cost.  (takes our dog several weeks to go through a bar, compared to about a day for a twelve-dollar rawhide bone).  The only reason I didn't rate 5 stars is that because of their durability, my dog gets bored with her lack of progress and gives up after about 20 minutes or so, though often returns for more a few hours later.... which is still better than the flavored nylon/plastic chew toys which my dog shows little to no interest in.

Question: I wish I had avoided this one...

Like many other reviewers who have posted, I am not a diehard Aerosmith fan, but I do have some songs of theirs that I love.  I picked this up on the day it came out a few years back excited to play some of these hit songs.  As I unlocked more and more songs ... I realized that my favorites weren't even on there.  In fact, a majority of the songs (and there aren't really that many total) are mediocre Aerosmith tunes, or songs by their opening acts over the years.  I expected Aerosmith's Greatest Hits and all I got was Aerosmith's Random Collection of Uncatchy Tunes.

So yea the song selection isn't the best, but if it's fun to play along then there could have been some salvation.  This game however has THE WORST playability of any rhythm game I have EVER played.  I have literally spent the better part of an hour collectively trying to calibrate to no avail.  There is NO way to get the song to match what you are told to strum.  To top it all off, even if you THINK you are matching what is scrolling past you, the game does not recognize it.  It is unbelievably frustrating.

Why did I give it 2 stars? Well some songs are still fun to play and there are a few that I like to go back to...every once in a while.

All in all, GH3 took the franchise 2 steps forward and GH:Aerosmith took them 4 steps back.

In "Love Lives On", the second in the Christian Bookmobiles series, Sidney W. Frost continues to develop the story of star-crossed lovers Brian Donelson and Karen Williams introduced in "Where Love Once Lived".  Problems arise in the opening pages at Brian and Karen's wedding.  An unexpected lawsuit awakens unhappy memories in Karen's past, and dealing with it causes conflict in their new marriage.  A mysterious photographer trails them on their honeymoon; the driver of a black pickup terrorizes Karen. The suspense continues to build to a satisfying climax.  Frost has the knack of moving the plot along with both mysterious and humorous incidents.  His characters leap from the pages as real people with distinct personalities.  Brian and Karen, two intelligent, loving, devoutly Christian, yet flawed individuals, have the maddening propensity for failing to share vital information in a professed effort to "protect" each other.  Brian must come to accept Karen's desire to be independent, to follow her sense of what God is telling her.  Members of the Combine and Liz, the lovable librarian, are back, along with Liz's team from Frost's "The Vengeance Squad."  Though written as a sequel, "Love Lives On" stands alone as a thoroughly entertaining read.

Love the pillow it is pricey but I love the detailed work so you get what you pay for here!!

Awesome and pretty intense story of Charles and Anna assisting the FBI to find a serial killer that has been raping, torturing and killing people for decades.  The search in Boston for the serial killer is just what Charles needs, a chance to use his skills to do good, since he has been struggling with the ghosts of those he's killed at his father's behest, and it is affecting his mate bond with Anna.  He's closed himself off to protect her and is slowly losing it while she does her best to find a way to help him.  They're up against some very black witch magic and perhaps more than one killer is involved.  I liked the Boston Alpha, Isaac, who is a real help to Anna and Charles, and the powerful fae lord whose daughter is kidnapped is a great ally as well, although a pretty scary dude.  I read this story after the Mercy Thompson story Night Broken, which actually happens after the events in this story, so it was nice to get the background filled in.

These work quite well. And are quite loud.

They keep tabs on me cooking a little too well. :). I grill a steak and I know to flip it when the alarm goes off. Silence the alarm, then when it goes off again the steak is done. :)

Probably will move this to the living room and use a single sensor model in the kitchen so my neighbor doesn't know when exactly steak night is. But does prove these are great at detecting the smallest potential fire. It instills confidence.

I have now read this book twice. It is a very inspiring story of a Womack followed the call on her life to go with Jesus to China. It's a practical life of faith in hardship and want, but not without its rewards.

It looks nicer in the pictures but it works great. It has protected my Ipad from many falls, I can write faster with the keyboard and I haven't had any problem with it so far. I would give it 5 stars but I really don't like the texture that much, other than that it's great.

This book was so much more than I expected.  It's fascinating historical fiction, whatever your religious orientation.  I personally do not practice
any religion, but respect the Bible as a piece of literature that provides some insight into the Jewish and Christian religion.  The author brings life and complex personalities to several characters in the Old Testament.  The extraordinary writing and colorful personalities makes for a wonderful reading experience.
Without proselytizing, the author does a great job in weaving a universal spiritual message of the benefits of showing love, respect, and tolerance toward others.  This is achieved by presenting very real plausible life scenarios of confusion, doubt and conflict with lots of thoughtful dialog that holds the reader in suspense to its resolution.
I highly recommend this 3 in 1 series.

Question: The title does not decieve: This is THE practical guide.

Having first read Ron Walls "Manual of Emergency Airway Management," which I considered the benchmark against which airway management books were judged, I was stunned by the differences. Levitan's book is appropriately entitled "Practical Emergency Airway Management" precisely because it is rooted more firmly in reality and practice than theory. It reads less like stereo instructions and more like a well-constructed argument for his perspective on airway management.

Rich with color photographs, and beautifully printed, it's as close to a coffee-table intubation book as they come. The major utility of this text is its reliance on case-based vignettes that describe the step by step process for management of airway hell -- from self-inflicted GSW to traumatic disruptions of the airway. As a novice at airway management, I found his suggestions for increasing intubation successes to be vastly helpful in the way I work.

My major criticism of other airway management books is their narrow audience of emergency physicans. Levitan's text is applicable for anyone who will encounter a failing airway in any setting: RTs, paramedics, PAs,  as well as physicans in the emergency setting.

The exceptional photographs, clear and cogent writing style, and applicability of the text has made this the standard of airway management books as I see it.

I'll admit... I'm not a big fan of graphic novels.  Sometimes I'll pick them up in the bookstore and flip through them, but I get turned off by the wonky art and find the dialogue to be trite and derivative ("We've got to get through that wormhole before the rebel cruiser does so we can deliver the Stargazer scepter to the Imperial Queen"). Snore.

So imagine my surprise when I heard a friend chortling at something on his iPad.  I asked him what he was reading and he showed me a PDF of "Geeks & Greeks." It can't be that funny I told him.  Then he showed me a page and I cracked up.  The writing is really clever.  It's not your typical low-brow college comedy.  This is MIT, where everyone is brilliant, including and especially, the cheerleaders:

MIT FRESHMAN (commenting on MIT cheerleaders): I didn't know MIT had that many women.

SEXIST FRAT GUY: It doesn't. Women at MIT are just guys who worked their balls off in high school.

MIT CHEERLEADER: Hey, nanophallus! 1980 called...it wants its sexist jokes back. Today MIT is almost half female. So have fun paddling each other, knowing your misogyny is just a pitiful beard for your latent homoerotic impulses.

The art was exceptional too.  It reminded me of superhero comics from the 1970s -- just really well-drawn, bright and vivid.  The art wasn't trying to be all post-modern.  It didn't call attention to itself.  But it really helped immerse you in the world and tell the story.

If this is what a graphic novel can be, I'm going to have to reevaluate my feelings about them.

Question: AWESOME VALUE, Perfect valve

Not being a plumber....  I was extremely thorough in researching every valve out there.  I had all but decided on the delta, which seems like every new house in my area is installing.  Then I ran across a square trim kit that fit this valve, I loved the trim...  So, read a bit more on this valve, and realized it is such a great valve, it controls temp AND volume!  Which is great now that I actually have it installed, I have no idea why you would install anything without volume control.  It went in simple, the rough in spacers that come with it make for a perfect installation, if you goof with this then your dumb.  Sorry, I know that is harsh, but it was super simple.  Also, I bought the shark bites with the 1/2" ips on one side and bite on the other, that made the installation take about 2 minutes!  I have had them in for a few weeks now and no volume or flow issues, smooth, super smooth operation, and the trims are amazing!

I've been using these headphones for more than 5 years and bought many of them from Sennheiser to give as a gift to my friends. However, when I received the package today I checked the sound quality and the materials that are used in detail and compared it to the one that I already have, and see that they are not the same. This one sounds and looks like it's a FAKE version. I might be wrong, but I bought many of these before, and this is not the same as others

Glad I found this shop on Amazon! After looking for a particular stop watch , you had exactlywhat my son needed for coaching. And was happy iyour shop was part of Amazon Prime!!

I got exactly what I paid for. This little camera is convenient and easy to use. The video quality is not as good as our regular JVC digital-8 camcorder; however, I was pleasently surprised how well this works in less than optimum lighting. My advice is practice using it before a big event. I found the more I used it, the better my video was. It has limitations - limited zoom, and slower auto-focus means you can't move it around too fast. Also, the on button is took easy to hit. Therefore, I have to reverse a battery when it is stored in my purse.

People are less intimidated with this little thing around. People just assume you are taking stills and you can catch some great clips.

I took my video clips and made a DVD at home using Sonic's MyDVD software that came with my Dell computer. I upgraded to Roxio's Easy Media 8. However, I haven't mastered this software yet.

Don't expect high quality video; but for the price and size, this thing is great.

Question: What do we have to do to get a GOOD adaptation of this book?!!

Ridiculous adaptation. I don't think updating Agatha Christie is healthy or wise. I'm adapting this as a period piece and I hope you get to see the story the way Christie would want it: without facial recognition software and an interesting batch of characters. Oliver Davies was good but otherwise this version was complete rot.

These shelves were exactly what I needed and expected. They were easy to assemble.

Question: Mixes up the paint easy.  Less mess and thorough

Worked well.  Mixed up a gallon of truck bed paint.  Looks like a tub of tar or asphalt.  Thick like tar.  This did a great job of mixing.  I was glad I did not try to use a wooden stirrer for this.  The drill and paint mixer worked great without a lot of mess.

Homefront is a decent if not amazing FPS.  The best part of the game is the setting: The USA's West Coast occupied by a foreign power.  While not very likely, the scenario created by the game makers seems more plausible than you would first think.  Regrettably the rest of the game is very mediocre.  The graphics are actually really bad in comparison to most of the other bog FPSs on the market today.  The single player campaign is also very short.  I completed it in about 5 1/2 hours on the normal difficulty.  The multiplayer is better than the single player.  It's more Battlefield than COD with larger areas to play in and a slightly slower pace.  If you're bored with whatever FPS you're playing now, give Homefront a chance for something different but still familiar.  If you're only looking for the single player experience, rent it.  It's far too short to buy for just single player play.

Question: Bright & Easy to Install

Bright & Easy to Install. If you want a CCFL, Logisys is the Brand. This is my 3rd Set for 3 Different computers. All are working w/o any problems till date.

The twelve immortal gods of ancient Greece are having a tough time of it in the twenty-first century. Sharing a dilemma faced by Peter Pan's Tinkerbell, they are losing their powers and fading away because no one believes in them any more. Strapped for cash and living crowded together in London house, it's not surprising that they get into quarrels with each other. But when Apollo and Aphrodite get into a fight, the mortals Alice and Neil get dragged into the conflict and soon find that their lives, as well as the fate of the whole world, hang in the balance.

There are many humorous scenarios in this story, particularly when the gods are faced with humdrum day jobs to survive and when classical mythology is placed in the context of modern life. Handsome Apollo turns women into trees if they don't respond to his advances. Vain Aphrodite works on a phone sex hot line. Eros, the god of love, has embraced Christianity. Wise Athena wears glasses and cannot get a point across at the endless meetings she organizes to solve family problems. Scrabble is a popular form of entertainment in the Underworld. The story line might get a bit silly and the ending is rather predictable, but this is a creative tale that will not only entertain, but will also help readers refresh their knowledge about the gods of Olympus.

Question: Tart Cherry - (really tart and healthy)

Quick delivery. Great Company. The product is as advertised. Recipient reports, "Very tart. When mixed in with blended drinks, the flavor tastes great. You can also enjoy this concentrate as a juice with your favorite sweetener."

I was buying these regularly because they were amazing but someone messed up hard, that last ones I ordered were not the same candy they advertise and the ones I loved. Somethings changed, the wrappers are different the shape is different they have no filling inside and worst of all they are disgusting. They taste like horrible cherry cough drops. It's not just me either, I've seen other reviews with the same complaint. I've given some of these new ones to a ton of friends and family and every single person has spit them out because they were so disgusting. I was so happy I had found somewhere to get strawberry Bon bons from but they have shipped me candies that aren't anything like what they advertise and delivered up until a few weeks ago. Disgusting, do not buy these. I'm sure as hell not going to. I'm very dissapointed.

Very pleased. This particular item is not readily available in stores. Purchased for my 4-year old cat who has digestive problems. And my younger cats eat it as well with no problems. Will buy again.

I wear a 6.5 shoe.  I ordered this and the length and width fit fine for my foot.  I have custom orthopedics inserts but they do not fit in my dressier shoes.  I decided to try these and unfortunately, the arch support was not in the right place for my foot.  To me it felt too far forward and that it wasn't supporting my arch in the places I need it.  I like the shoe.  The color is nice.  The quality is good.  It just doesn't work for my foot.  Will try again with another style to see how it works but returning this pair.

Question: Great First Time DSLR Package

Until now I was one of those people who had never owned an SLR type camera. This being my first SLR I was a little worried about understanding all of the settings that are available. I was pleasantly surprised to see that when using the auto settings it does a very good job at taking pictures equal to or better than my point and shoot. The greatest part about this is that now I can work on learning all of the more advanced features yet still switch back to Auto mode when I need to take a quick picture. So far almost all of the dials and menus are very straight forward. If you are experienced using a point and shoot that was made in the last few years then this camera should be a breeze to pick up and use. I haven't opened the manual yet and I still have managed to play with most of the settings and not render it inoperable. I think this is a very good camera for someone wanting to try their hand at more professional photography. As a side note I noticed this camera got a bad review for not being a Nikon or Canon. I read all the reviews by that person and almost 99% were all 1 or 2 stars so I would take that review with a grain of salt.

It's a good price.  Silly though to advertise this as "silent" edition -- the siding is thin and resonant, despite the insulation padding, this case is plenty louder compared to the smaller Lian Li I was upgrading from, which made no such claims.

Question: I love this author and this series

I love this author and this series. The Dragon Lords of Valdier is a fantastic series and Jaquin's story is no different. Sara is a strong woman who has been badly battered and bruised to the point that her fighting spirit and courage are hiding. It takes all the patients the man can find to coral his dragon's inpatients and court his true mate but in the end it's worth it. Each of the books can be read as a stand alone but is still best read in order so that you understand each character that you meet in this book. I am still waiting patiently for Grandma Pearl's story and hope to read it soon!

Easy to assemble and very sturdy. This is comfortable and a great value

Question: For large trees only!

HUGE!  The description, including dimensions, does not begin to  describe the size of this stand. Once word of caution - it is NOT a universal tree holder. If the trunk is too small (I.E. less than4 inches in diameter), this will not work. The metal posts only screw in so far, and will not hold up a smaller tree.

The first season of Gilmore Girls promised to be one of the best sitcoms since The Mary Tyler Moore Show. The dialog was witty and consistently good. The characters were quirky, but real. Each of the characters is a flawed, but decent human being (except for Rory who is the perfect young teenager, a serious flaw in reality). The story unfolds showing the strengths and weaknesses of each character in a series of warm, amusing episodes.

The quality of the series, however, descended dramatically in Season Two and essentially became a soap opera with dark overtones. Lorelai's mother changes from a manipulative but caring mother who is concerned for the welfare of her grandchild (from her cloistered perspective) to an extremely, self-centered woman whose primary concern is her control over her granddaughter and in the process sabotages her granddaughter's inheritance. Our hero, Lorelai, also develops an unusually cruel streak. She is so thrilled with her mother's discomfort with her mother-in-law (her mother's mother-in-law) that she brings a camera to photograph the event. A key episode is the one in which Lorelai breaks off her engagement at the last minute without the decency to explain why to her fiance, but rather lets the town gossip break the news to all and sundry. Are men simply objects without feelings in women's soap operas, whose sole purpose is to adore the heroine and disappear when not needed? Escapism is one thing, but escapism that breeds gross insensitivity to others is not something to expect of the heroes with whom we identify.

In the first season, when Lorelei was a decent person despite her flaws, her father lectured her on the pain she had caused others by having a child out of wedlock. Lorelai, however, values her independence so much that she opts out of marriage with the father of her child although she loves him (in her self-centered sort of way) and sleeps with him in a later episode. It is interesting to note that of the many characters in the story there is no happily married couple with children. Is this because it might expose the fans of the Gilmore Girls to the happiness that Lorelai and Rory might have experienced growing up with a decent father figure (believe it or not, a key component of the majority of families). It is also interesting to note that in the first season, Rory's boyfriend breaks up with her because of her lack of spontaneous warmth to his declaration of love and she is then bereft and much saddened until they make up several episodes later. Episodes such as these have the element of truth in them. In contrast, in the second season, she puts off a date with her boyfriend because she is busy and promises to meet with him that evening. She later fluffs him off for a very self-centered reason. This time, however, reality gives way to escapism and the boyfriend crawls back with an apology. It doesn't happen that way in reality, at least with young men having some backbone. I gave the soap opera a rating of three stars, this being the average of five stars for the first season and one star for the second season.

The sad part of all of this is that Rory and Lorelai have a huge fan base. There are thousands of young women who identify with our two self-centered heroes regardless of their insensitivity (if not downright cruelty) to others and their lack of responsibility regarding their actions. Witty banter does make up for irresponsible behavior.

Question: Perfect fit for our kitchen aid mixer

Perfect fit for our kitchen aid mixer. Wanted a second bowl to keep production of holiday cookies going when baking!!! Excellent description to make sure we ordered the right bowl.

I recently became fed up with having to decide between my contacts and my glasses while hunting.  My contacts made my eyes hurt and my glasses seemed to always fog up at the worst times.  So I went on a search for an anti-fog product that actually worked and would last.  I tried all types of sprays and wipes and have found Defog It to be the most effective.  It was a dry cloth, and I was skeptical at first but I have seen excellent results.  I don't have to constantly wipe my glasses, and I don't have to deal with squinting through foggy lenses.  I recommend trying this product if you are experiencing a similar problem.

Question: Interesting read, well written

More a book about life choices than finances, an interesting study into what matters and a vehicle to gain perspective on your own decisions

I have owned several pairs of Teva Olowahu flip flops over the past several years. I keep on buying them because I love them so much. I never liked flip flops. But the straps over the top of the Olowahu mean that you don't have to scrunch your toes at the end of the sandal to hold it on while you walk. It stays on all by itself. And the sole is very comfortable and durable. I live in a fairly warm climate, so I am able to wear these just about every day at some point, and they are my go-to shoe when I am not at work.
My regular shoe size is 9.5. Since half-sizes aren't available, I always buy the 10 M and they fit perfectly.

Question: Very Nice Unit and Well Built

First thing to get out of the way is this unit took a while to build.  I am mechanically inclined and it took about 6hrs total to build and install on the wall.  It took about 2.5hrs to build the unit and then about 3.5hrs to hang it.

I had to make some modification to fit my wall (drywall) and system:
- drilled additional holes thru bracket so I could have at least 1 bolt in the studs on each of the brackets.  If you do not get at least 1 bolt in the stud, the anchors will not hold the unit. I found out thru experience!!
- I drilled an extra large hole inside the cabnet with cover to put all of the wires and the power bar. I used a hole drill to do it
- I also drilled extra holes on the lower unit to lag bolts directly in the studs as well.

Before I ordered the unit, I could not find any information on the "TV mounts included" .  It's basically some plastic pieces you screw to the TV and the seat inside a metal bracket. For my TV (42") this was a perfect fit and was easy to install.  See pictures of the brackets

All in all, the entertainment stand is really nice and well built. The assembly of the entertainments stand is not too bad... but hanging it on the wall is a pain in the ass!!! You should definitely know what your doing for that part or get someone who does.

One piece of advice I can give is too make sure you run all you cables (or at least make sure the fit behind wall) before putting everything up.  I did not do this and it cause several headaches trying to run power cords after I had everything up!  If you want to make sure all the wires and power cords are hidden, be prepared to drill extra holes and make mods to get it done!!

Wildcat Play has a lot going for it, quirky characters, an unusual (to me) setting, and an interesting set-up--Ann Whitehead, LA hipster and movie reviewer, flees the hypocrisy of Hollywood and ends up with a gritty grunt labor job at an oil drilling company, a field she knows well because it's been her family's business.  Ann is an entertaining first person narrator, but her personality didn't quite hold together for me. She's tough, she chases off an armed burglar and works in a men-only environment, but she's also what I can only think to describe as silly. She expresses delight to her macho male co-workers by dancing on twinkle toes. And her impulsivity, running off that burglar for instance, and missteps she makes in her private investigation of the murder, were beyond likely enough to briefly disrupt the story for me. Also disruptive is the amount of detail the book includes about the oil business.  It's more than the story needs and sometimes slows things down. Those things aside,  I enjoyed Wildcat Play enough to want to read it's predecessor, set when Ann was still in LA and working as a journalist.

Question: The only Phish I like

Have you ever heard that Phish song and it's like, "yeah,  this is nice"  Then you here their funky 26 minute instrumental grooves and think "I can't take much more of this"  Then this cd is the Phish cd you should get.
  I know thats what most people like about them.  But I think their short rockin' mellow songs are the best with vocals.  Take Juanta for example some great shorter songs, but others are marathon length which I lose my interest in. In fact I don't like any other Phish cd for that reason.  But I love this one.
  So if the shorter ones are the ones you like then get this.  Solid from the start to begining.  One of my top ten favorites of all time.

  >>>>----Zen----->

My daughter loves this toy. It would be a lot better if it played more than one song.

This salad serving set from Adventures in Elegant Kitchenware is the perfect complement to the wooden utensils set I already have from the same company, which I use often.  The salad servers are very compatible and work equally well with both the wooden and ceramic salad bowls that I use.  All of the pieces; salad servers, utensils and salad bowls are beautiful together in any combination.  I received this set as a promotional item and was asked to write a review, and Im happy to do so and very impressed with the durability and beautify of the product.  It also lives up to its stated elegance.  This set of salad servers fits well in my hands, as they are not bulky or overly large.  I wholeheartedly recommend this wonderful salad serving set.Adventures in Elegant Kitchenware Wooden Cutlery includes Japanese Spoon, Fork, Condiment Knife, and Chopsticks - 4 Piece Set in Beautiful Blonde

Question: says good to 35 miles had to hang it on a ...

27miles from station , says good to 35 miles had to hang it on a wire and turn it toward the direction of the tv towers . works but not that impressed for the money

This is a book written for the software engineer/developer/programmer/analyst (collectively called "developers" in my review). The book basically acts as a roadmap for improving yourself as a developer, making yourself more valuable to your current and future employers (whether they realize it or not).
This book introduced me to Steve McConnell's Professional Development Ladder, a way of evaluating your current level of professionalism and learning what areas of knowledge you need in order to progress. It also talks about software engineer licensing (Texas does it), the newly accredited Software Engineering degree program (this replaces Computer Science in many respects), and the Software Engineering Institute's Code of Ethics and Professional Practice.
Many of these resources can be found around the Net, but this book neatly consolidates a lot of information. It also includes a lot of information (mainly statistics) I would not have found elsewhere, such as ROI's for specific software engineering practices (simply measuring productivity can return 150% in 12 months or 600% over 36 months, page 116), the exact makeup of the huge productivity gap between different developers (communication  factors alone account for a 53% productivity difference, page 137), and an interesting and realistic diagram showing how professional licensing affects the pool of good and bad developers.
The roadmap extends all the way from the entry-level developer or new high-school graduate all the way up to industry leadership.
I give this book 5 stars not for the book alone but for it combined with the resources at McConnell's web site. If you want to excel in your field as a developer, these two taken together give a lot of great advice.

Question: This is not a 4+ Star book

I really wanted to read this book - I saw that it was rated 4+ Stars by Amazon readers, and I really like this type of story - I thoroughly enjoyed Major Pettigrew's Last Stand (NL 4 Stars), The Postmistress (NL 4+ Stars), Olive Kitteridge (NL 4 Stars), and The Upright Piano Player (NL 4 stars) to name a few.  So I bought the hardback of The Unlikely Pilgramage of Harold Fry - I couldn't wait for the paperback.  I was disappointed.

The book had such promise.  It started out with intrigue and interesting characters.  But it got tedious fast.  First, the fact that such an introverted, reserved person like Harold would open up and say the things he did to strangers, was very far fetched and changed him to a character I didn't need to read about.  But then when he was joined by the many other people - it became ridiculous and not even enjoyable to read. If this could be edited out, the book would be much better.

This could have been a great book - but it was only a fair book.  So unless you need to read a book every few days, and are searching for a new book - I'd skip it.  In addition to the books I've named above, read The Widow's War (NL 4+ Stars), the Velva Jean series by Jennifer Niven, and skip Tell the Wolves I'm Home (another disappointment).

I think this is equally as good as "Enjoy every sandwich", but it just reminds me how much I miss Warren Zevon. One of the few truely original american artists. I love that so many have paid homage to him, and I think that the artists have done an excellent job interpreting the songs. Thank you to everyone involved for reminding me of what genius is.

Question: well written but conventional

This story contained all the elements essential to the paranormal lady-boner novel - huge powerful male beast, slight delicate female lead whose talents are central, blah blah blah.  While well-written (good writing can no longer be assumed), the plot structure overwhelmed the story.  The bad brother - really really bad, the worst, absolutely no nuance.  The leading lady's commitment to her loser brother, completely cliche.  Requisite painful betrayal, check.  Complete failure to regain ground lost by the betrayal, check. And that's all in the opening scenes!  What happens then?  Mysterious attack on lady, check.  Rescue by the biggest baddest (yet gallant) beast in town, check.  The instant attraction of beast to lady, check.  If you can stand a plot structure that conforms to industry norms and you are looking for lady porn, this book is for you.  If you find tragedy in a well-written book that denies itself creative individuality, skip it.
