Question: Soldiers go to war - Americans go to the mall

I was an Armored Cavalry Platoon Leader in Vietnam from 1967-68. This account of Matt Gallagher's experience at the tactical level so resonated with me that I almost read it in one sitting.

The American Army has a wonderful corp of non-commissioned officers. Gallagher captures the essence of the relationship between the usually older and more experienced NCO and the young lieutenant. He illustrates the trust and the dignity in the platoon hierarchy. It is worth the read just to experience the interaction among this merry band of soldiers, sargents ,and one "young" lieutenant.

Gallagher's use of pseudonyms for his players is inspired. I cannot forget "Captain Frowny Face." By the same token his illustration of the differences between company grade and field grade officers was spot-on. Promote a captain to major, and he almost immediately loses 10-50 points in IQ.

Kaboom is a story of men in combat at the tactical  level - the very basic level. Gallagher illustrates the limited horizon at the platoon level: the platoon gets an order. The platoon follows the order. The platoon leader, the NCOs, and the men work together to accomplish the goal without getting killed or injured. And then, it starts all over again.

I love military acronyms and the humor associated with them. From Fobbits to REMFs, Matt Gallagher gives the reader an insight into this world. It is nice to see that some things never change. SNAFU still means "Situation Normal All F...ed up."

Jodi created a whole world that we had to learn about. There were different gods with corresponding islands and religions. Where people behaved differently according to what they believed in or how they were reared. Which gave me some vibes of the Divergent series. There were also dragons, not as much as what was promised. However, still prominent in the book. There was also corrupt politicians with hidden agendas, blackmail and different types of abuse.

It's just ok.  It works but nothing special or nice things to say.  Feels cheap and generic but it works.

He picked the wrong ex-JW to promote in the book. LLoyd Evans abuses & bullies people constantly.

Question: Found a new favorite!

This became my favorite sweater- not too thick, not too thin, and it makes me look good.  Too bad about the WV Mountaineer colors- I'm not a fan so naturally I get teased about it every time I wear it but who cares, I'm warm AND I look good.  I got this one on sale- really, the only way to go.

I don't read a lot of memoirs, but I want to share a book I just finished - Saving My Assassin  an extraordinary memoir filled with courtroom drama, political intrigue, persecution, suspense and danger. Set in Romania during the brutal communist regime of President Nicolae Ceausescu, Virginia Prodans story is both frightening and inspirational.

Romania didn't lose their freedoms overnight, but slowly the government took everything of value from their citizens until they were left only with fear and desperation. Some spied on their own neighbors and families in order to remain in favor with corrupt government officials and to get a few comforts of life like extra food, clothes, or a vacation. Others kept their mouths shut, heads down, and eyes closed to the horrors around them, hoping the securitate (secret police) wouldnt take notice and they would stay alive.

Its hard to believe much of this story took place less than three short decades ago. In America we take freedom for granted but once you read this book you may have a hard time taking anything for granted again. It all seems so frighteningly possible in the political and social climate weve been living the past few years.

Virginia Prodan grew up in what you might call a dysfunctional family, without any or very little real affection shown her. She was treated differently than the other children, more like a slave in fact, and didn't know why. She must have been a tough little girl because she turned out to be quite a resilient young woman.

As a teenager, Virginia realized that truth was a commodity that rarely existed in her world. It had gone the way of freedom, liberty, and the Dodo bird. Nevertheless, she had a thirst for truth and justice and thought that if she became a lawyer shed be able to find that for others. Little did she understand that having laws on the books to protect Romanian citizens was no more than a ruse to stay in the good graces of the West, and lawyers were expected to ignore them in favor of whatever their dictator ordained.

Virginias conversion to Christianity as a young lawyer turned her world upside down. Freedom in Christ was a wonderful new reality and she was infused with a strength and boldness she never knew before. But it was not without danger. In the early 1980s, Romanian Christians were arrested, beaten, and imprisoned for owning a Bible or going to church. Church buildings were even bull-dozed and their land confiscated. Freedom of religion did not exist. President Nicolae Ceausescu set himself up as a god and expected Romanians to worship him alone. Those who refused were punished and oftentimes murdered.

Virginia was arrested multiple times, beaten and threatened. She was told over and over that her life was in their hands and they would kill her. But knowing for a certainty that her life was actually in Gods hands, she refused to live in fear of what men could do to her.

I should be dead. Buried in an unmarked grave in Romania. Obviously, I am not. God had other plans. Virginia Prodan

Saving My Assassin is a wonderful story of the redeeming love of Christ. Its also a timely reminder that freedom is a precious commodity and so easily lost when people forget why truth matters and are willing to let go of certain unalienable rights in favor of empty promises.
Virginias courage and faith in the face of such evil is truly inspiring and well worth the read.

*I received a complimentary copy of Saving My Assassin from Tyndale House Publishers in exchange for an unbiased and honest review.

Question: these are exactly what I expected/wanted

These shorts are exactly what I was looking for. I bought them to wear under rugby shorts and when running. They fit extremely well and do not ride up like other compression shorts I've worn. The drawstring does not feel uncomfortable, or even noticeable, when tucked into the shorts. The picture is an accurate depiction of how low on the leg the shorts end. For those concerned with sizing, I am about 165 lbs. and 5'9" and purchased a medium.

I am a little big on the XL side, this is an XL regular and usually this time of year I wear a 2x shirt.

The Tshirt material for the center is sort of stretchy but I wish there was more ripstop material around the neck and shoulders. the material literally stops at the collar and I have not worn it much but I foresee it getting really weak there.

Question: incredible thought provoking read!

I had been dying to read this for years, and I finally got around to it. It was an incredible book--very entertaining to read and yet convicting at the same time. Donald Miller writes about his experience with faith in such an honest way, it was so refreshing! Definitely a must read!

I ordered one size up and it was a good choice. Typically wear a small, but the medium fits great. Love the material and the way it fits. Very pleased.

Question: Please give me more Ms. Morrison

Tony Morrison is an excellent writer. I simply anticipated more out of her before reading this book. Maybe it is my problem as a white male, but I expected more raw emotion from her characters or better insight on the people she wrote about, or, alas the plight of the African-American woman. Maybe that was the point of the book to show that all of these human emotions have been locked up due to terrible circumstance and treatment.

This memory cushion with the cutout at the rear is exactly what I needed for sitting relief from an old military injury.  The price is low and quality high.

Question: Croydex WC796005YW Nile Tall Mirrored Cabinet, Stainless

The cabinet is a good complement to even small bathroom because of its height. It's well designed (especially helpful are pin handles to keep the surface clean) and came carefully packed without any damages.
Soon after the installation it appeared that the construction material (MDF?) is not strong enough for the bigger dor. The door hinges can get out of the cabinet wall (it actually happened for me). So I needed to patch the holes, and also fixed one of the pin handles.

I've loved this book it's spooky, mystery, and drama rolled into one book. Some parts even made me tear up...

Question: Higher Quality Than Expected

These are very sturdy heavy duty brackets, which surprised me. We used them to support a 60x10"  shelf that was supported already at both ends.  These more than did the job and they are aesthetic too.  Good price.

I like this a lot. Makes it easy to cook things like eggs or pancakes on the grill when camping. My only complaint is having to season it prior to using to avoid sticking. Beyond that it's great.

Question: I got to learn interesting advices on aromatherapy to help your dog

I just got this cute little beagle and Im using essential oils to help her with a skin problem she got on our last camping trip, its just a little thing on the side but shes scratches a lot and I don't want it to get infected or something. a dear friend showed me this guide with a few solutions and I have to read it all, I got to learn interesting advices on aromatherapy to help your dog on different things and the guide even gives you the right indications to treat your dogs skin with the oils using them properly so there aren't any secondary reactions.

Great for heavy duty protection/use. Built in screen protector is handy, I still left the regular one on as it appears to be able to let dust and stuff in from the opening at the top. No problems with touch screen at all. Belt clip could be a bit longer for wider belts. Overall it is great and I would highly recommend it.

  UPDATE: On New Years Day the belt clip broke. A few days later I went on the Otterbox website and filled out their online claim form with details of the issue. about a week later they emailed that a new one was being shipped out soon. another week and a half and it arrived. Thogh a little slow this is excellent customer service and will keep me loyal to the brand.

  Now, if only they made them for cars and kids...

Question: She's come undone alright

This book, written by a male author from the female point of view, is nothing short of brilliant. Dolores Price is a young girl that everyone can relate to in some way, even though life hasn't been the same to everyone. The book is cleverly written with humor, sadness, honesty and candor. Dolores is a complex young woman who you are routing for every time she's knocked under water. Made of sandpaper on one side and silk on the other, Dolores is a myriad of emotions. To quote Elton John, she can best be described as 'A Candle in the Wind'. The best part of all there is evolution! Read, enjoy and love life!

Bought these for my girlfriend, she seems very happy with them. Happy wife, happy life..., well, Happy girl, happy world.

I must say, Huawei has stepped up thier game with this one. After all the buzz at CES 2012 I really wanted to get my hands on this device, however it wasn't available in the US until now. I used the Samsung Galaxy S II as my daily driver until stepping into the P1. the first thing i noticed was the size. it fits well in my hand and against my face while talking, not awkward and bulky like the S2. it's fast under the hood, and comes with Android ICS vanilla--so i don't have the bloatware from my carrier, and i can customize it how i like. the DLNA works awesome with my Playstation 3, and the graphics are crisp and clean. Best thing about it: Penta Band HSPA+!! I switched from ATT to Tmobile, and I can use the P1 on both! now I am out of contract using the phone i want. I'm pleasantly surprised...i will be keeping this one for a while.

Question: Life-like real-sized Jackrabbit

I bought this for my sister, who is the library/resources person at her school.  She uses this with various stories and the kids love it.  It is easy to use, and you can move the mouth while the arms move.  It is quite big too, and has a very realistic pose.  The fur is beautiful.

I ordered this as a walking collar for my 67 pound female pitbull and it looks great on her i just got the package today but as soon as it was delivered i put it on her and took her for a walk around the block. Although the collar looks great I can't give my opinion on the craftsmanship because my dog rarely pulls during walks so the strain put on the collar is minimal.

Maybe it's just nostalgia but loved this movie. Fun characters, predictable but heat warming plot and ending. I just loved it ok.

Boss Presence lays out all the rules for being your best self and owning it with no excuses. Most importantly, the style and brevity make it the perfect resource to revisit anytime I've defeated myself or forgotten that I'm a bad chick created to reign.

Although written for women of color, and occasionally offering food for Christian believers, this book definitely offers universal truths for anyone striving for excellence. I recommend it to all, but warn you that the author isn't your mother - there will be humbling reality checks and limit-pushing challenges. But if you're a bad chick created to reign, it's everything you need.

Question: Wrong region code for Australia

Great disappointment.
But I was refunded and not required to return it ,which was very generous and satisfactory.
Suggest mention region codes on all film media products.

I purchased this album the first week it was released becuase it featured three of my favorite artists, The Whites, Emmylou Harris, and Alison Krauss and I have found this album to be even BETTER than the O Brother Where Art Thou soundtrack!  Emmylou Harris offers a fantastic version of 'Green Pastures' with Gillian Welch on harmony.  The Whites perform an old tune 'Sandy Land' with Sharon White's amazing vocals on lead!  Alison Kraus & Union station have two songs on the album, the first is 'Wild Bill Jones' with Krauss's band member Dan Tyminski on lead vocals, the second tune from Alison is her fantastic 'Blue & Lonesome'.  Gillian Welch also presents two of her own tunes, with 'I Wanna Sing That Rock & Roll' being the better of the two. The album closes with Gillian & Alison's IBMA award winning 'I'll Fly Away'.  The only disappointment on this album is the exclusion of bluegrass legend Ralph Stanley, who performed on the concert, and is on the video release of the concert. But all in all, this a fantastic album for the bluegrass lover!

Question: Great -Wish It gave more notice of turns in the city.

First off let me start by saying I get lost EVERYWHERE!! It is actually a joke both at my work and my house. I actually got lost driving 2 blocks away and ended up 3 towns from where I should have been.
I NEED this thing it was a necessity :)
The places I have used this GPS- I live in NH, my kids go to school in Maine and I commute to Boston/Cambridge MA. The Garmin has been great on the highway and in rural areas. It has done well in Boston but it never seems to give you enough notice of when you should turn. I actually had to cross three lanes of traffic and cross a cement median, coming off the Tobin to Charlestown because it didn't give me notice in time. It doesn't realize that sometimes you have to get in a lane a half mile back. Also, coming off the Tobin towards Storrow drive it can't distinguish between that area and the exit for Charlestown , so for several minutes you may think you are going the correct way , but you aren't, but it does re-route you once it realizes it. Other then that and lost reception on the Tobin, (which is no big deal, it comes back on) It has been grea! On the highway it gives you a mile and 1/2 mile notice of turns.
It has a detour function which is great!! Sometimes I use it, just to find new ways of getting somewhere. It also will give you directions for both the fastest and the shortest route. It finds a new route when you have taken the wrong exit. You can also store your favorite places so you don't have to type in the address. One thing It also gives you your estimated time of arrival, which is extremely accurate. One other complaint, which isn't a big deal , is that they are still listing some restaurants as in exsitance, when in fact they have closed years ago. I don't use the feature that often so it hasn't really been a problem.
I really think right now this is the best one out in the market.
UPDATE!! Went to Vermont and while in Claremont area this GPS took us down 4-wheel trails!! Imagine my honda civic trying to go 4-wheeling. It told us to go down dirt rd's etc and mentioned rd's no longer there. You still need to use good judgement with roads.

UPDATE- Older models suction cup's are staying on peoples windshields, and are unable to be removed except with nail polish remover and razor blade. I called Garmin and they sent me out a new suction cup.

UPDATE: Used this in San Diego and it worked like a charm! Also used this in NY City. So far the only problems I have had are the logging road in RI incident, Highway tunnels underground ( It loses it's signal and doesn not advance, potentially having you miss you exit. ) Make sure you see where you are going before hitting a tunnel, and some Boston rd's being so close it is hard to distinguish where to turn.

UPDATE 2010: Still going strong!  Used it to drive to Philly and S.C. and it worked like a charm! I have used several other models and by far this is still my favorite! Hopefully they bring it back!

UPDATE 2013: Thing finally died... But it was well worth the price I paid for t!

Question: Good replacement battery.

I had to get this to replace the one that came with the mower.  It's been about 2-3 years since I got the original and it's pretty shot.  I prefer the battery because I hate the smell of gasoline and the constant need to bring the tank to a gas station.  I know I've got to replace the battery every so often but withtthe price of gas it still costs lest to stick with the battery powered mower.  I can now mow my whole lawn on 'power' mode on one battery charge again.

I've recently took up running a few months ago (finished my first 5k in July) and wanted to get some running specific shorts.  Previously, I had been wearing basketball style shorts (Adidas and Nike) that goes down past my knees.  I also didn't like the feel of my underwear getting soaked during long runs.

These shorts fit the bill.  The length is perfect (I wear a large and am 5'10"); not too long, not too short.  I goes about two inches above my knee cap.  The material is quick-drying, very light, and "moves" well.  The built in brief was a bit of an adjustment (I'm used to wearing boxer briefs) but after a few miles, I grew accustomed to them and felt a lot more comfortable at the end of the run.

My only complaint is that I wish there were some front pockets.  There is a back pocket with a zipper but I'd do like having the side pockets.  Overall, a very good pair of running shorts.

Question: A real treat at a tasty price!

"Memories Sew Sweet" is one darling little ditty!  Author Sandy Berry serves up 14 courses of simply divine memory quilting projects that will thrill the scrapbooker in every quilter.  The front cover compelled me to take this book off the store's shelf for a closer look.  It features lovely modern Moda fabrics (some from the Wuthering Heights line, I believe) combined in an unusual but pleasing way with Civil War/1800s reproduction prints, all surrounding a somewhat Victorian-era photo transfer.

As I leafed further through the book, more and more color combinations caught my eye and I could feel my own imagination start to take flight. I had already decided I was definitely going to buy this book when I discovered an added bonus:  Ms. Berry even includes 5 pages of vintage-style images for you to use in your projects.  The idea here is that YOU embellish these images in your own style, and you don't have to look too far outside the box to realize you can use whatever images you desire.  (Just keep in mind certain copyright laws!!)

Several of the projects here are larger than in other memory quilt books, finishing off at a hefty range from over 50 inches square to just above 70 inches.  Smaller projects are included, plus there is a short section featuring sachets and mini-pillows.  You might even recognize some of the fabrics if you have been collecting for any length of time.  The fabrics in the photos will resonate mostly with the collector of floral and traditional patterns (that's me!), but you can easily use your own prefered tastes to make something really special.

You might want to know that some of the projects use the paper-piecing method of construction while others utilize rotary cutting techniques.  Personally, I avoid paper-piecing except when absolutely necessary, and if you've had a bit of rotary experience you should be able to translate the paper-piecing to the rotary method.

Also, Ms. Berry's instructions and illustrations do not include arrows for pressing directions;  I have come to rely on these for really accurate construction and reduced bulk.  In the basic techniques section in the back of the book she does mention pressing to the darker fabric in most cases and to the lighter or pressing seams open in other cases.  I just really prefer it when the instructions can tell me which way to press as part of the piecing instructions.

I have said this before in another review, but it is worth repeating: this is a Leisure Arts publication (#4789) and I have really been pleased by the quality of their more recent booklets and I am so glad they remain reasonably priced.

I am glad I got to see this book in a store so I could fully appreciate it; the images selected online here simply do not do this small treasure its due justice!  (In fact, I probably would have just clicked right past this title and missed out big time.)

Gotta go - I am off to start one of the mini-pillow projects!  I will try to provide a photo of my finished project.

This is a very sweet book.  It teaches some good character lessons, and has just a touch of science in it that start conversations with pre-schoolers about the universe.  Mr. Gaines has a natural feel for young readers and the art work compliments the story nicely.

This is NOT WORTH THE $25 current asking price!! I am HIGHLY suspicious that this is even a licensed SAMSUNG product! It seems Samsung would be more aware of how cheaply this is made, and make a more useful charging stand!

I bought this book for my dad for Christmas, and another copy for myself a short while later.  It was a fun memoir, for sure, but it's obvious that John Fogerty has a serious case of the sour grapes that he's trying to clear away.  I found it fascinating to hear his side of the story behind CCW's rise to fame, but I also found myself rolling my eyes quite a bit when he would proclaim, yet again, that he was an amazing artistic genius the likes of which the world had never before seen and anyone who disagreed with him was either an idiot or jealous or both.  I mean, he is a great artist- but who wants to buy a book full of that kind of ego?

I'm not real sure what everyone is upset about.  This book is EXACTLY what Sarah told us it would be.  I absolutely hate cliff hangers but I new going in what to expect.  Yes this was the first two books of the series from Chloe's pov but again it's  EXACTLY what Sarah said it would be. Truly I did not understand the depths of Chloe's damaged soul until I read this book.  I NEEDED to read this to understand how badly damaged Chloe really was.  I also needed to see the development of her and Amo's relationship. As far as this book not having steamy hot sex.....well that would have been totally unrealistic when Chloe's best friend could not even casually  touch her or give her a hug without Chloe breaking down. This was a wonderfully well written first half of Chloe's story. The rest of her story will also be Lucca as well I guess as Amo's or at least a set-up to Amo's story. I am on the edge of my seat waiting anxiously for the next book.  Sarah you are an exceptional Author just like your Mom, those who did not appreciate the way you have chosen to tell this story just don't get it.  You know what they say.....YOU CAN PLEASE SOME OF THE PEOPLE SOME OF THE TIME, BUT YOU CAN'T PLEASE ALL OF THE PEOPLE ALL OF THE TIME. I am well pleased.

Question: Some thoughts about lists....

I can't say that I agree 100% with this book (I have some strong reservations), but there's a lot of great stuff in it. Michelle Larowe put together a book of 112 lists of things that are useful for a mom, caregiver, or mom to be of a 0-5 year old.  This is a Christian book. There are several lists that are particularly helpful for moms working outside of their homes. But, I think every mom of a young child will find something helpful in this book.

All that being said, this is a book that you will find yourself agreeing with sometimes and disagreeing with at others. The author is a certified international nanny so she has great ideas for toys and what to do with kids and ideas about teaching sharing. Her list about discipline is a starting point, but not a complete solution. I think all the moms I know would agree that discipline is never a one size fits all kind of thing. I remember thinking when I had one child that I knew what to do--and then my second came along, and then my third... and God humbled me very quickly. Her list makes it sound like discipline is a one size fits all thing and I just don't agree with that. She is approaching this book as a nanny and mother of one child.

I agreed with her book lists for children and for adults about parenting. I would add one more, though and that is Super Baby Food--this is the best book about what to feed your 0-12 month old and when. My other favorite lists were what to pray for your child before they're born, ten practical Christian principles to teach your Christian preschooler, Age Appropriate Chores for Young Children, and a few others. I also thought her list about considering Adoption very wise.

Yet, her list about family friendly movies isn't one I agree with. My oldest child is 6 and I wouldn't be able to show her any of the movies on the list. I think we have to be really careful to be sensitive about what our children can handle. The themes addressed in the movie Fireproof (a movie she includes in her list) are really for adults--not children and I wouldn't even say for tweens or preteens.

There is one more thing that I want to mention it in case you do read this book. There is a list entitled "Selecting a Family Friendly Church". I believe that we are all called to go to church and worship the Lord-- and that it is about God, not about us. The questions are supposed to help you decide whether a church is family-friendly.  But, is that why you go to church? For what it does for you and your kids? I wish that instead there had been a list of qualities to look for in a church and what to pray for in your search for a church home. Perhaps it could have been a list of open ended questions like...
1) Do you want to go to a church which practices family worship or one with separate children's church?
2) What do you feel God is calling you to do in this matter?
3) Does the congregation have grace for you and for your children?
4) Will the church love you and your family?
5) Can you love the people in the church? Will you be able to serve in the church?

The other thing I'd mention is really just a minor one. She writes this book from an upper-middle class perspective. Most of the time that isn't really important. But, it is relevant to the lists of what you need for your child's first year. It made me chuckle when she wrote "high-quality wipes" as one of the items you need.

So, in the end, how would I describe this book? As a great gift for a friend who just discovered they're pregnant (along with a copy of What to Expect When You're Expecting). Honestly, no parenting/childbirth preparation book is perfect and has everything you're looking for. If you're looking for a book for yourself, I'd recommend checking it out from the library, but not purchasing it for your home library.

Please note that I was provided with a complimentary copy of this book for review by Revell Books.

Haven't used yet. Should be useful when moving heavy objects up stairs.  I think my back will thank me for this product.

Question: A truly lovely read... like any other Betty Eadie book.

This is yet another excellent book written by Betty Eadie.  She has a very friendly and open writing style that is so easy to read and enjoy.  As is the case with her other books, it ends all too soon!  That's when I know that I am really enjoying a good book.  For those who seek answers to their spiritual questions, this book is an excellent resource.  It's primary theme is that our actions cause many other things to happen, both for good and for ill.  By concentrating on doing good for others, even more good will be created in the world.  Love is the great power in the universe but it needs our help in growing and becoming stronger.  We can all do our parts, often with even small efforts.  There is no way to know just how much good will come of even small acts of kindness expressed to others.  In most cases, the results will be more surprising and wonderful than we know at first.

3.5 Stars

I picked up this book because of the comparison of the author to Tropper. It did have a sort of Tropper-esque feel to it and I enjoyed the book, but I did not finish the book with the same sense of satisfaction. Reading Tropper, the endings feel earned, you feel like you have earned the ending too because you have been on the journey with the sad-sack male character who has done the hard work to get to a place of resolution. Not so much here.

This book was amusing in parts, but also disturbing. If I was the author's wife I would be really concerned about how he views relationships - but maybe that was just skillful writing? I don't think so though. Mostly because this reads like a middle aged man's fantasy book. I have a hot wife and a great life. I have some insecurities because my Daddy is famous and treats women in a less than stellar way. My job is boring, but it pays me well and even though I complain about it, it has the double benefits of giving me a young, hot twenty-something who is in love with me AND I get to showcase my unbelievably amazing wit and ability to deliver zingers. Because everyone wishes they could tell their boss/annoying coworker to take a long walk off a short pier.

But never fear, it all works out in the end. It works out just so. I still gave the book 3.5 stars because I did look forward to seeing where it went, even if it left me rolling my eyes and feeling unsettled with how the minds of some men work.

Question: his way of presenting the information gives one a greater emotional attachment to these two amazing men, Roosevelt and LaFollett

Very, very well written book.  The writer, not only gives us an abundance of historical facts, his way of presenting the information gives one a greater emotional attachment to these two amazing men, Roosevelt and LaFollette.

I have read several of the Gray Whale Inn stories, and have immensely enjoyed each one.  The owner of the Inn is a young woman who has had the courage to live her dream.  Of course, she does get involved in fatal crimes to enhance the enjoyment of reading these books.  I would highly recommend these books.

Question: Lasted 2 months! Useless!

Bought this just over 2 months ago since a lot of houses don't have any kinds of fans in rooms now. The fan was getting very constant use but seems to not have been able to keep up. It started with a clicking noise every time the fan turned in one direction. That then graduated to a whirring that sounded like the motor was off balance or something. The noises are now too loud to allow any sleep.

It had problems with it within the 30 days.  I ran across a problem where if you plug anything into the audio jacks in the back it would cause the computer to power down.  I also ran into an issue where it would not power up (connected correctly because it worked the first 2-3 weeks) with the power button.  Now, just above 3 months in and its completely shot.  it is now just an expensive cell phone charger.  I will have to replace this motherboard.

Question: This movie is great for someone who never heard of Cinderella before since it's well done

Technically, this movie is good. However, I was so disappointed that I hadn't realized it wasn't a musical. (I haven't grown up with Disney movies and since the new live action Beauty and the Beast was a musical, I kind of expected Cinderella to be one too.) Also, the story is straight-up Cinderella, and the characters have been played this way a million times. I expected something fresher. The movie Ever After is far better - it takes the Cinderella concept into a new story, with more dynamic but familiar characters. This movie is great for someone who never heard of Cinderella before since it's well done, but that's it.

Es un libro que no puedes dejar una vez que comienzas. Me parece que es muy interesante no solo para venezolanos y cubanos, sino para todos los paises de habla hispana. Simplemente, una lectura imprescindible.

Question: Functional Substitute

A snug fit, but it sits flush in the battery compartment of a 2009 Inspiron 15. No problems so far.

Update: Lasted about 14 months of very regular use before a very steep decline in performance. For the price I can't complain.

A very sweet book for children. You can read it out loud to younger ones, but the age group of first graders and above can read it themselves. The repetition pattern in the book is something the children will enjoy. It will also enable them to recognize similar words faster as they read them again and again. Plus there is a whole lot of new vocabulary words that can be picked up by default merely by understanding each location described in the book where Jack hunts for Felicia. The illustrations are beautifully done. My kid enjoyed the book.

Question: Great camera for the money.

The best camera for the money!  easy install.  I've purchased three of these and they've worked out perfectly.  I'm not concerned with sound so much and the image quality which has not disappointed me.

Fantastic cool coat and so cozy.  My only disappointment was in the photos it shows a double zipper and it has only a single one so one has to undo it for driving instead of being able to unzip the bottom.  I prefer double zippers in coats so that should be mentioned in the description.

Otherwise it is a fabulous coat and arrived very quickly.

Question: where, oh where can I find the OPPOSITE of ...

where , oh where can I find the OPPOSITE of this cloying banality. I am so sick of seeing it printed on everything from coffee mugs to toilet paper. Ranks right up there with 'always kiss me goodnight' and especially, 'love the life you live- live the life you love'. Well, hot damn, why didn't I think of that.??????

My dog is 13 years old and her breath is pretty bad. So for us this product didn't work. However, maybe in a younger dog or a dog with healthy teeth this would work better? I don't know. For my older dog it made no difference. She also had no problem with drinking it in her water as other reviewers have mentioned.

Question: Very fashionable and fun to wear

The color of this coat is a beautiful, vibrant, cherry red. If you're looking for a VERY red coat, this is it. It's bold. I like this coat in many ways. I took off a star because it pills like crazy. Be prepared to be pulling giant tumbleweeds of red fluff off of everything. It's a lightweight coat, so I got a lot of use out of it in the fall, and I'll enjoy wearing it again in the spring. It's not a heavy enough coat for winter weather. The cut is slimming, and it's an overall cute/fashionable style. Another reviewer mentioned that this coat ran big, so I ordered it in my regular size. (I usually buy coats a size bigger so I can wear a lot of layers underneath.) I actually found this coat to run true to size. It fits me really well, but there's not room for me to wear several layers.

I got the ram mid December and only just had the chance to try it in my iMac from 2011. They don't work. When I insert them (and yes, I do insert them properly), I get the hardware warning of three beeps and no start up.

Question: Super cute! Great for our 6 year old -- Packaging could be better

Purchased this for my 6yr old to get as a gift from her baby sister in the hospital...we made a little gift bag and included some big sister items. Great purchase!  We also included a big sister headband, big sister disposable camera, and a cute handbag/purse with book to put it all in.  I know she will love it!  The ribbon was bent a little at the bottoms which was a little frustrating, so I'm only giving 4 stars because I think the packaging could have been better.

Thank you very much- HTOWNGADGETS- I got the phone and its Just like u described it. By the way, it's just LIKE NEW. No scratch, no dent. And it's fully unlocked and fully functional. Am really pleased & happy with it. Thank you again.

Question: Will she fight for him this time, or simply walk away again?

Cat Schield takes us on a walk through the inner beat of the music industry as her sure and reliable voice weaves an exciting story filled with heartwarming antidotes and swoon worthy connections. The characters are rich and the plot is filled with both joy and compassion as one heart tries to find the right direction when torn between family and love. I really enjoyed Mia and Nate!

Musician and producer Nate Tucker has had his ups and downs in the music industry, but he's finally at a comfortable place with his career. If only he could say the same about his personal life! He met a woman that he really cares about ... but she dumped him without looking back!

Mia Navarro has lived in the shadow of her outgoing and talented pop-star twin sister for the majority of her life. Family dynamics have her burying her own dreams to cater to Ivy's every whim and desire. She thought having a secret fling with Nate during Ivy's last tour might go somewhere, but in the end she had to walk away due to her obligations ... but now she's back in his life again. Will things turn out any different this time ... especially when she discovers their fling led to a baby being on the way?

Case took over three weeks to come and when it came, some of the design came off and stuck on the protective styrofoam. The quality of the print looks nothing like it is shown on the sight. Overall, very disappointed.

Question: Why didn't I buy this sooner?

Great investment.  I tried using  batting and tacking it up but what a mess!  I tried using a flannel backed tablecloth and tacking it up, but still a mess.  So I finally broke down and purchased this - along with command hooks - and am so pleased!  Lightweight, easy to store.  Gridded on the back so you can line up your quilting pieces.  Folds and stores easily.  So happy to own this!

I suffer from poor blood circulation in my hands and feet and my feet are usually as cold as ice blocks (I'm not kidding).  I used to double-sock it with ordinary socks but even then, could still feel my feet freezing.  When I discovered these socks, it literally changed my comfort level.  There's just NO way to describe how *amazingly* warm these socks are.  I invested in two pairs thinking I'd have to double-sock it, but that's not the case at all.  The material inside the socks feels like a snuggly blanket hugging my feet, and for the first time since I was a teenager, wearing a single pair of these socks is enough to keep my feet warm.  The only minor improvement I can think of would be to add foot treads to the bottom (for those of us who wear socks around the house) but it's not going to stop me from ordering them in every color.

Question: Fast, intense, and HOT

I loved Daniela. She's a badass biker chick all on her own but she doesn't feel overbeaing and too unstoppable. It was great to seeher struggle and finally come out on top. Loved this book. Loved the characters. Loved the high octane story!

The levels had to be bent into position and if there is uneven weight distribution the suction cup at the bottom doesn't prevent the unit from dipping to the heavy side. The hooks for razor are a little too wide to hold the razors securely. One bump and they fall off. Also, one razor holder is bent and I can't bend it back without messing up the finish.

Question: Dog chewed thru it in 2min flat!

At first I loved this leash. Then, I used it to briefly tie the dog up while I opened the gate to the main road so I could load something into my car. In less than two minutes he had chewed thru it and severed it completely. End of the leash! Would have thought it would be stronger.

As the owner of both this book and "The Great Dumbbell Handbook",  I recommend the latter book, and strongly recommend against buying this book.

By my count, the main exercise description section of this book contains approximately 30 exercises, and the main exercise description section of "The Great Dumbbell Handbook" contains approximately 45 exercises. Some of the dumbbell exercises that I regularly do,  such as the Shoulder Shrug, and the Deadlift  (and more) are not included in this book.

The formatting of the exercise description section of this book is a disorganized mess. It's common for an exercise description to begin at the bottom of one page and continue on the next page, and sometimes there is a page turn  in between the two sections. The photographs that accompany the exercises are poorly organized, and sometimes inappropriately placed.

As one example, the description of the Leg Curl starts in the middle of one page. Below the description of the Leg Curl are two photographs of Lunges. To view photographs of the Leg Curl, you have to turn the page.

As another example, the description of the Single-Dumbbell Triceps Extension begins at the bottom of one page. You turn the page, and at the top of the page are two photographs of the (double-dumbbell) Triceps Extension. Below the photographs of the (double-dumbbell) Triceps Extension is the rest of the description of the Single-Dumbbell Triceps Extension, and photos of that exercise.

Rather than being labeled by exercise name, the photographs are labeled by number, such as Figure 2-5, Figure 2-6, etc.

In at least one case, the photographs do not match the exercise. The photos that accompany the Seated Bent-Over Lateral Raise are of the Standing Bent-Over Lateral Raise. To make matters worse, the text states "Performing this exercise in a standing position places too much stress on the back." The end result is that the book contains two photographs of the unsafe-version of the exercise, and no photographs of the safe-version of the exercise.

In my opinion, compared to this book, "The Great Dumbbell Handbook" offers more exercises, better exercise descriptions, bigger and better exercise photographs, and vastly better organization and formatting. "The Great Dumbbell Handbook" even does a better job of discussing the pros and cons solid hexagon dumbbells versus adjustable dumbbells.

These are super cute and add to my beach pad decor. There is a battery pack that has 4 AA batteries.  Make sure you buy rechargeable batteries so you can keep them lit.

This tower is lightweight and very easy to assemble.  I think it's a good deal and well made.  The pad is nice and feels substantial.  It's on rollers so it's very easy to fold up and roll to a closet.  The size is good -- doesn't take up much space in my living room.  I just got it yesterday and I'm looking forward to watching the DVDs and getting started.  I'm pleased so far with the tower.

Question: Well researched and accessible to all

The great thing about Al Franken's book "Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them, A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right (We'll just call it Lies from here on) is that it a well researched, documented book that can and will be read by people that don't read political non-fiction or any non-fiction.

The scariest thing about our political process today is that we've turned into sound-bite nation.  Whether you watch Fox News or listen to NPR or Air America, there is a limit to the depth of information you can get from a 30 second to two minute spot.  And, lets face it, most people don't read books or the newspaper. People are voting for our elected officials based on what they hear on TV or the radio.

Al Franken is funny -- laugh out loud funny.  And even people who don't read, read humor.  And if Al Franken can educate the public, I'm all for it.

I won't argue with those that say that Al Franken has an axe or two to grind.  I'm sure that he does.  He makes it very clear that its personal when it comes to some of his targets.  But, his research, with the assistance of 14 top college students, is impeccable.

In Lies, Franken lays out much the same case that many more serious books do, that the right uses the right wing media to put knowingly put lies into circulation and to spin those lies until the mainstream media picks up on them.  And, if caught lying, they just lie about what they have said.

Lies is an interesting combination of clear, direct, fact-based attacks on the right and satire.  Since the facts and satire often co-exist in the same paragraph, I had to stop more than once and figure out if some of the more outrageous events and lies were true or satire.  Often they were true.

Even if you're well informed you'll learn new things about the well documented dirty tricks that the right has been playing and the well documented lies the right has been telling.

If you're a Democrat, read the book and pass it along to your undecided friends.  If you're a Republican, read this book and do your own homework. Decide for yourself whether Franken's research is any good.  Either way, don't make your decisions based on TV and radio.

Gets the job done at a great value. I built two towers together to add height.  Fits nicely in a 6" gap beside my fridge.

Ok so I read through all the reviews on this guitar before I ordered it and was amazed at how some people rated it so low, they obviously were expecting a Gibson or or higher order of guitar. Mine so far appears to be fine...its holding tune, the tone is very nice and loud. The body is solidly made and the finish is excellent, Yes it will need better strings as most guitars do and well for you Guitar Geschtoppo Nuts out there as with anyone else its a matter of preference and taste in the brand and style of string you put on you guitar. Also I tested the electronic tuner against electronic tones and it worked exactly as it should have and didn't get effected much by background noise. So for all you beginners out there this is a perfect model to start out on for a darned good price.

Question: Great sound for its size

Great sound for its size ! I did not look at the measurements but it was a bit smaller than I had imagined but if I would have read the dimensions, the size would not have been such a surprise. Other than that is great!

There is something very ethereal and peaceful about using this little gem, I cannot recommend it highly enough!

Question: Really bad comp short... Fit too big like all Pearl Izumi clothes

I don't really know why Pearl Izumi is so popular. I hate all things that I brought from this brand. Nothing fits right. Size small is like large for me and I'm not a king of skinny guy. Really high waist line and no comp at all. I looks like a idiot wearing that at gym or running at street. Trash!!!! I suggest this company improve size cart or try to implement a kind of XS or XXS... Fabric is good, only...

Don't know what I'd do without my Spatty's.  They have paid for themselves in the leftover product I've gotten out of makeup bottles, and other stuff.

Question: Awesome product. No If I want today change what's ...

Awesome product. No If I want today change what's in a container I don't have to cover the old label or tare it off I can just erase and rewrite.  I love this and will be buying a hole lot more.

Purchased bag based on reviews from other customers.  The label on the bag itself says it can accommodate 17 inch laptops but was completely misleading.  I just bought an MSI Ghost 003 2PC (15-inch laptop) and it could barely fit in the laptop sleeve.  I had to shove it down to get the zipper to close and when it's closed, the corners of the laptop are protruding indicating a tight fit.  I did not want to scratch my laptop let alone damage the corners if something hit the top of the backpack.  If you own a 14-inch laptop or smaller, it WILL definitely fit well in the laptop sleeve. Very disappointed with the product as it did not meet my expectations.  I will look into TNF Router Transit or Surge II Transit and maybe Everki for laptop bags.

Regarding the OGIO Renegade itself (besides the fit), materials and padding/protection seemed nice but didn't try it out for a day.  The reviews about build quality are spot on.  Although I wouldn't recommend for 17 inch laptop users, I would mention it to people who own 14-inch or less laptops.

Question: Finally another option besides the Apple Store!

This is the first non Apple brand iPhone charger that actually works. I love that it comes in different lengths. I use a long one for the living room and a short one for the car. Good quality product that doesn't look like it'll split at the end like Apple's cables.

This worked perfectly. It mounted easily onto the wall in my garage and the number of screw holes that were available made the attachment to the wall studs very secure. I use it to store scrap lumber and am so happy with it that I am going to order another set of Sterling standards and shelf brackets for added storage.

Question: Please on second set sent

I ordered a pair, was ok with them, but not ecstatic.  I gave a 3 star and they contacted me and sent new ones free to make sure I was happy and the other set not defective.  Incredible customer service.  They do seem much better, I use these now all the time, and the quality of the ear piece, chord, and plug in is obviously superior to other ear buds in this price range. Very good value.

It works just fine.  I am using it to power an 8.3 V camera from a 12V gell cell battery to do time lapse photography. Nice rugged construction, it saved me the effort of packaging one of the bare board converters.  It is potted so I would not be afraid to have it outdoors on a rainy day.

Question: Good Documentary, So-so Entertainment

I was disappointed in that this was a retrospective that didn't quite capture the feeling of experience as in the John Turturro movie on Primo Levi. However, it did give information about Levi's return route which was had to follow and lacked any entertainment value.

I use these as meal replacement when I can't get a meal made. They are hearty enough to get you to the next meal Delicious! I stay satiated and they satisfy both salty and sweet cravings without making feel like I am eating junk food.  A good quick replacement if you need one. This is also offered at a much better price than my local grocery which offers a bar for 2 dollars. My purchase price was 1.17 per bar. There is also no "fake taste" to these bars. I love Luna Bars but those have an aftertaste like you are eating a protein powdered product...This is very natural and none of that happens..it is a cross between a handful of nuts at a party and a small piece of very rich chocolate..a satisfying nutritious meal replacement.

Question: Great for cleaning as well as cooking !

I wanted this for use in cleaning my kettle and dishwasher after reading that it is the main ingredient in a lot of specialised products.  I a teaspoonful in an old kettle and wow, it brought the element back to looking like new.  Very happy with my purchase.

I'd read the title story in grade school, of course, and it's famous, but I actually like 2 other stories better in this collection -- The Demon Lover and The Tooth. I like most of the stories here and am glad I read this book. There's another story I want to find, that must be in another collection. Shirley Jackson's work is unique and timeless. I also liked her novels.

Question: The night is dark and full of terrors

Melisandre is so cool looking! I love that the flame on her torch is transparent and makes it looks as though it is glowing. Her paint is pretty good, although she does have more flesh area where her jawline meets her hair than I would have preferred, but it's definitely not as bad as some that I have seen.
I wish her necklace was more pronounced and painted the color it is in the show instead of gold, but I'm picky when it comes to accuracy.
All in all I'm pretty pleased with her and I'm glad I chose her to help kind of even out the female to male ratio I have going on in my GoT Pop collection right now, lol, and obviously, if you collect GoT Pop's it for with out saying that she is a must have.

Arrived fast but I didn't like how the legs were fastened together in the legs only but a couple buttons and it kept coming open and it was way to big from the waste down on my 10 mth old daughter for Halloween.  I actually sewed it up and fixed it myself and my daughter looked adorable for Halloween!

Question: Great breakdown of habits!

I love how this book breaks down habits into its parts. It really allowed me to dissect my habits and figure out how to form new ones. I definitely found a lot of value through these sections. Also, I am trying to incorporate rewards into my routines as well.

Not quite as thick at oem but can't go wrong for the price. Fit well, everything lined up nice

Question: Stabilization motor noisy

Convenient lens for all around daytime shooting.
Horrible for low light shooting.
Optical stabilization motor became really noisy after 6 month or so. I sent it  back to the manufacturer and was told the noise is normal. Say What!! It wasn't noisy when I bought it.
I can't imagine ever using this lens on a camera with video capabilities, I'm sure you would hear the noise through the audio.
VERY disappointed in Sigma quality and customer service.

Best option for us, having bought our Samsung Digital cameras at thrift stores!  Thrifty pricing, fast delivery!  Thanks!

Question: Iron Man 3 an Exciting Romp

Exciting and a very interesting plot twist. Nicely acted, especially by Gwyneth Paltrow, although Robert Downey Jr.'s performance was a bit over the top. All supporting cast did well. Too much happening in the heavy action scenes, especially towards the end of the movie to be able to follow what happens to who at all times. Worth watching for a bit of movie magic though.

Really a great CD!  The variety of the sounds, from creaking ice through bird calls, which for most Americans will sound exotic, to waves breaking on a pebble beach, are fascinating to hear, sending the imagination in all directions.  The jacket text is well-written and evocative; I loved the refs to Basho and Japanese poetry.  And the paintings by Leslie Roth, better known for her watercolors, are lovely too.

Question: Excellent for anyone studying or exploring gender issues

This book is much more than I expected...difficult to put it down. Nordberg tells us and teaches us about Afghanistan culture through the stories of these women while also teaching us about gender issues. As a veteran and having worked on women and children issues during one of my deployments I wasn't sure I would learn anything new...I was wrong, excellent book.

The positive reviews have to either be by the company or people who have not had much to compare to.  I've recently gotten the Gear VR from Samsung and it has so far set a bench mark. My mom got this since she had a Galaxy S% vs S6. The head straps are very low quality with 'flat' connector piece in the back that just looks and is sad.

The build strength is ok... the only upside.

Optics: They don't mention the field of view in any advertising... I see now why. It is narrow... I feel like I am a horse with blinders on with this unit.  It is clear in the center but very odd and weird on the sides of the visible field. Basically, this unit is dividing up the image into two but pretty much nothing else. I really believe the google cardboard vr unit did a better job.

Button: The button is stiff and doesn't work well so you have to keep pulling it to make it do anything which pulls the entire unit up or down.

I could go on... but safe to say I am less than impressed and we are sending it back.

You've been warned.

Question: JUST THE BEST VACUUM BOTTLE ON BOTTLE

You just can't  go wrong when you purchase a Stanley vacuum bottle.  My parents had a lunch bag that came with two large Stanley thermos and a sandwich holder.  They used them when they were traveling with their 6 children on long trips.  On one road trip, twelve hours later the milk in the Stanley vacuum bottle was still cold and my mothers coffee was still hot!  Stanley has not changed at all.  Only gotten better!  I purchased three this year.  Two were gifts and I was told they were the best by both receivers of my gift.  One went to a man in Maine.  He told me it was the best thermos he had ever used.  He said he had purchased every kind  on the market and this was the only one that kept his coffee hot.  This man stated he would never use any other brand but  Stanley in the future.  And it perfectly under the seat of their snow mobile.

I spend a great deal of time trying to help people see that the Bible is a trustworthy book. In fact, my effort is to persuade more than mere trustworthiness, but to show that the Bible can be trusted as divinely inspired and without any error. It's a discussion that comes up with people in church, out of church, and even those who are 'in ministry.' Most of the information I tend to use comes from a hodge-podge of sermon notes, lecture notes, book comments, and websites.

The information is good and reliable, but most of what I have is chaotic in nature. Into this scene comes Hank Hanegraaff's new book, Has God Spoken?

Hanegraaff presents arguments and evidence sets that I have seen in other places and from other writers and speakers. He has some newer material, but most of that newer material is about the critics of the Bible and not about evidence for the Bible. It's interesting to note that the names of the critics have changed, but the answer remains very similar: the Bible can be trusted.

Has God Spoken? has its strength not in the arguments present, but rather in the organization and skill with which they are presented. It is clear that Hanegraaff's main work is teaching people out of an academic environment. His work is not light and fluffy, but it is organized for easy recall. This book utilizes interwoven acronyms to help the reader trace the line of thought.

His overall theme is "MAPS:" that Manuscript c-o-p-i-e-s, the Archaeologist's s-p-a-d-e, Prophetic s-t-a-r-s, and Scriptural l-i-g-h-t-s support the truth of the Bible. The spelled out words are the acronyms for those sections.

This structure makes the work helpful and easy to grasp.

As to shortfalls in this work, I'd raise the question of whether or not the material is dated because I've heard most of it, but I do spend a lot of effort to stay pretty caught up in this field. So, I've probably read or heard a lot of the same basic reports that Hanegraaff based the work on. That's not much of a weakness. Hanegraaff presents the info well, as I've already said.

I think if I were to find one fault, it's this: Hanegraaff gives a fair amount of type and space to those who contradict the Bible. He will spend several pages detailing the faults that, for example, Bart Ehrman finds with the New Testament, and then set out to explain the case for Scripture. That's not quite the type of argument I'd prefer to see. I'd rather see the positive case for Scripture given and then rebuttals to criticisms that arise.

I'd also prefer to present the criticisms without names. Footnotes (or endnotes, but footnotes are better) are the place to cite names and works. Why? What happens if Bart Ehrman recants and joins the Evangelical Theological Society next year? A book that would be useful for Bible students, which Has God Spoken? is, now seems too dated and out of touch. After all, it's a book to counter Ehrman, right?

It's not. Yet some chapters would have the reader thinking it is. The emphasis on critics, especially the current ones, is a weakness here. I would attribute that to Hanegraaff's primary work: radio/internet teaching. He's normally responding to the question of the moment. In this field, Ehrman is the question of the moment. Unfortunately, focusing a book on moment questions gives it a bit of a weakness.

Not enough of one, though, to discard the book. Hopefully this one will still be being read and utilized when the name of Ehrman goes the way of the Colossian Heresy: unknown but for the continuing existence of the rebuttals.

Very comfortable.  Would like more colors available in 9.5 or 10.  Would highly recommend.

fantastic, the only thing better than a book that teaches children about their constitutional right to self defense is that it looks like all of the gun grabber, latte drinking, prius driving, internet bullies are in a tizzy about the book. All the more reason to get it. I think I am going to buy a couple of extra copies to donate to my local schools. Should be required reading.

Question: Charming book about a dear friend.

This wonderful book is written by a friend and neighbor about a remarkable friend and gardener I knew for 40 years. Barbara Robinson lovingly depicts Rosemary, warts and all, with respect and admiration. She interviewed many friends and cited sources so she could describe events as if she had been there. I have many of Rosemary's books, and this one is a fitting remembrance of a one-of-a-kind lady whose gardens in Britain and America will forever be testaments to her special talents. Even if you don't have a garden, you will want to read this delightful book.

Question: Great quality. I highly recommend

My husband and I are big and tall people. I'm 6'1 and my husband is 6'6. We use these chairs all the time. They live in our car and travel with us. Never know when you need them. Great quality. I highly recommend. I plan on purchasing a set for our lake house. 5 stars!!!

Have to admit, the cover (with the Green Man) drew me to read this.  (What a Green Man has to do with the story is a question, but then, the cover did its job.)  The book is easy to read, and the start is highly entertaining, yet I preferred the third-person narration to Kvothe's own telling. Kvothe isn't really very likeable, from inside his own head.  And my goodness me, in 600 pages, it would be nice to have a semblance of a plot.  That's where the "self-indulgent" stems from.  Disgressions and philosophy are all very well, but really, our protagonist Kvothe thinks highly of himself and Mr. Rothfuss' opinions, and he does go on and on and on...

Imagine my disappointment in discovering that this doorstop of a book was but the start of another tedious trilogy.  (Publishers - get over it. Rattling good stories used to be told in one book.) Life is too short to wade through a book this long, only to discover: 1) not much story, and 2) what story there is must be discovered in subsequent books.

Rothfuss is very good with emotions, and that helped me keep reading, as did his hints (but little more than hints) at world.  The magic is excellent, creative and believable.  However, Mr. Rothfuss and his editor need to pay attention to standard English grammar.  The verb to lie (not the one meaning to prevaricate, the one meaning to set down or stretch out) is misused every single time!  It's maddening -- and not the only error.

Fun, but on the whole, no thanks.

Question: I read though the instructions once and the product installed easily as described

Interesting that there's so much fuss about the instructions.  I read though the instructions once and the product installed easily as described.  I guess the manufacturer took the hint and updated them.  It took me about an hour and a half taking my time while enjoying a sunny second day of spring.  The step sides are sturdy and look great.  Very much a solid bang for my buck.

I'd also like to add that my truck is a 2016 F250 and the boards fit perfectly.

Question: but they sound better than the stock ones

I expected low quality, but they sound better than the stock ones.

This anthology contains my favorite Campion books so far (I have 5 still unread) possibly because they include Amanda Fitton who IMHO adds a great deal to these works.

1965's Mr Champion's Lady The Second Allingham Omnibus, sometimes referred to as Omnibus #2--each novel includes Amanda Fitton thus the title
--Preface with description of the development of Amanda Fitton as a love interest
--Campion #5=Sweet Danger (Felony & Mayhem Mysteries) (Albert Campion) or Fear Sign or Kingdom of Death (1933)
--Campion #10=The Fashion in Shrouds: Albert Campion Mystery #10(1938)
--Campion #11 =Traitor's Purse: Albert Campion #11 or The Sabotage Murder Mystery (1941)
--Word in Season: Story for Christmas [a fine funny short story] :
p. 509: As has been known for centuries, all domestic animals have been granted the power of human speech during the hour before midnight on Christmas Eve.  The reason why they so seldom avail themselves of this privilege is not quite so well understood.

Additionally, each novel includes a short introductory paragraph and "Dramatis Personae" list--which are not included in the individually published novels.

It's efficient to have several works in one volume though it isn't always cost-effective, depending on the prices involved. I suggest that a potential buyer peruse the reviews of the individual novels to assist in making a purchase decision.  If you're not used to reading authors from the Golden Age of British Mysteries (e.g. Agatha Christie, Dorothy Sayers, Josephine Tey, etc.), it might take you a bit of time to adjust to the cozier and more descriptive style than the more recent (and more violent) American mysteries--especially those that could be classified as Thrillers.  However, you might like The Tiger in the Smoke: Albert Campion #14 and Tether's End: also titled, "Hide My Eyes" = Hide My Eyes which are, perhaps, more thriller than mystery.  American authors with less description but of a more armchair or highly deductive (vs. lots of action) nature include Rex Stout, John Dickson Carr, and Ellery Queen.  If, however, you can enjoy more literary mysteries, I'd strongly recommend Ngaio Marsh.

Question: Very little tread, sturdy tire, poor traction

Tread depth is surprisingly thin, but otherwise the tire seems pretty beefy.  Perhaps a touch heavy.  Decent thorn resistance so far -- I've picked up no thorns since I've placed one of these on the rear while in the same time the front (a different tire) has picked up three.  The tread compound seems to be relatively hard -- it is fairly easy to lock up and slide the rear even on dry asphalt on a warm day.  However, at least as a rear tire it's behavior seems predictable.  I'm looking forward to see how one of these behaves on the front, but the tire on my commuter wheelset might last through the winter.  I'll update later.

Question: It was really nice and did the job

It was really nice and did the job. My husband really liked the fit and it was delivered really fast. One thing that we didn't expect is it is a little short in the front. When you look at the picture it is above the belt. We didn't notice this until after we got it, but it still looks good.

I've worn this watch all day and the only things I can find to complain about are:

1.  It has a very distinctive smell.  I hope it fades soon.
2.  The 2 rubber square catches on the band tend to slip down and not hold the band as securely as when they are placed correctly.

Otherwise it's a good watch.  My eyesight has gotten worse over the years and I need to wear reading glasses to see up close.  However, I can easily read the numbers on the dial without using glasses.  The gray ring around the outside of the watch face with 60, 15, 30 and 45 is kind of cool.  I'm not sure what it's purpose is other than to divide an hour into smaller increments of time, but it's a nice touch.  And I think the face of the watch is quite lovely being a white background with gold numbers and hands. The band is very rubbery and is comfortable on my wrist and can be adjusted to fit.

Overall I think it's a good, attractive casual watch and I look forward to wearing it for a long time.
