| It got out to a slow start. After about one hundred or so pagesI finally got interested in it. I think that the writer should havekept writing because I didn't want it to end. It was a pretty good book. |

| This book is great. I recd my 1st copy from a woman of Indonesian-Dutch origin after she made us a meal using the easy & delicious recipes. I borrowed her copy for three months -- she finally purchased another & sent me the bill. After using the book almost everyday for two years, I gave it to our Indian cook as a present. He found the recipes more authentic than his wife's cooking. Now I need another copy for myself. |

| The prequel concept is interesting, and Benford is generally a reasonably capable author, but this book is tedious. It sprinkles an unengaging plot line with bad interpretive philosophy and a Reader's Digest-like helping of intelligent agent technology.How did Hari develop psychohistory? What a fun concept. Halfway through the inane interactions between Joan of Arc and Voltaire I started to lose interest in the plot, and the introduction of the Ewoks (oops, sorry, the Pan) in a scene that works like it borrowed from Total Recall was too much. |

| I am a VB and ASP programmer and often find myself searching for the differences in the syntax and features between the two applications. This book provides complete syntax and feature documentation for all applications; VB, ASP, C++, etc. I will definitely be looking for the updated version as soon as its available. |

| So easy to use! Although orienting yourself with North was a little challenging at 1st. The fact that the map is laminated is a definite plus! This is something I can use over and over again, I even gave one as a gift to a friend who lives in Toronto and they love it as well! |

| This book has pages with emotions, good-night items, body parts, musical instruments. Leapfrog did a good job with it--for example on the "emotions" page, you can hear the IF YOU'RE HAPPY AND YOU KNOW IT song with each of the emotions. It is a sweet little book.One warning: If you buying the book for the Spanish, I have to say that it is not really bilingual. It gives only the names of the objects in Spanish, but then it switches over to English. There are no activities or songs in Spanish. |

| This CD showcases one of the most amazing voices of our time. It is loaded with one show stopping song after another. Listening to this CD makes me feel like I am front and center in a NY theatre listening to a Legend! Linda Eder is gutsy, has incredible range and puts it all on the line! Bravo! |

| Well so many things to dislike about this bad pastiche.First Abba original song"Gimme Gimme Gimme",is a classic pop record,like all they did in their disco and after disco era.Madonna coming from her last flop album"American Life",need to appeal with a a catchy tune,that she can't make on her own,so not surpisingly she sample ABBA's.If your deaf or like singers out of key then go for this(Did you saw how awfull she sings it live in the Europen MTV Awards?)cos the notes that she sings(?) doesn't even match the melody below,even a overworked remixed version can't save this,except if you're been ear-brain-washed or they played this song so much that stick in your head like a nightmare with bad senseless lyrics.Make yourself a favor,but the original"ABBA",avoid this deseperate need to cash in. |

| I bought this reader to download photos onto my PC which runs on Windows 7. It is slower than my old $15 USB reader! My PC tells me that the driver being utilized is a Microsoft driver dated 6/21/06 and that it is the most current driver available. A look at the SanDisk website shows 2 things: there is no SanDisk driver available for this reader for Win7, and that a number of other people posting on the forum have the same problem with no help from SanDisk. |

| Dig that cover. Nancy holds a Shearing lp and George holds Nancy's album. They mutally admired one another and they went and recorded a terrific album. There are a few solo cuts from Shearing so, it's a little misleading that all the tunes are duets, but that being said, their duets are dynamite. I am crazy about their version of , "The Things We Did Last Summer". Capitol teamed up Shearing with Peggy Lee and Dakota Stanton, the Wilson/Shearing one is my favorite. Pick it up and join in in the swinging! |

| Rating this one is difficult. The rich symbolism of Tarot was forever impacted by the Order of the Golden Dawn, and A.E. Waite's "Pictorial Key" is a glimpse into that symbolism. Readers with a serious interest in occult Tarot will find this an essential text. Waite, though, considered himself bound by vows of secrecy, and mixes misinformation and blinds in his work to lead the "uninitiated" astray, so reading critically is a must. To make matters worse, his prose style is ponderous and leaden, deliberately overcomplicated and abstruse, less animated than Al Gore. However, modern tarot decks borrow and adapt from the Waite-Smith deck design; to understand the symbolism that underlies almost every deck on the market today (frequently symbolism the deck designers had no awareness of), this book is absolutely necessary. It won't be a fun read, but it *is* necessary |

| I purchased the Vtech 2421 as a Christmas gift for my girlfriend. It worked for 3 days and then stopped. She then let it charge for 24 hours before attempting to use it again and when she tried, it was so overheated the handset just about burned her hand! I returned the product. Only wish there was a 0-star rating. |

| It is a perfect little book to carry with you for inspiration. It makes me want to take a walk... and the beautiful thing about this book is that it allows me to take a walk in my mind without ever leaving my office or room. I have and will continue to read it over and over. |

| Well, let me say that I personally enjoyed the Hell out of this book! Having been an internet junkie for the past 3.5 years I am quite delighted to witness the reality of the author's dream. Victoria Ross shares her personal experience with the reader in a series of vignettes that fairly accurately reflect the time they were written... To me, it was especialy satisfying as I independently knew a few of the characters mentioned in the book, (not to mention having spent time in putor-chat with the author!, HEHEH!)The book is a very quick, fun read. I hope you smile as much as I did during the afternoon I read it! ttfn! (?, oh...tah-tah for now) |

| I have been looking for a while to find food bowls and a bench high enough for my Mastiff. This set up is perfect! It doesn't look like much when in comes. But, it does the deal! The stand is the perfect height for my big boy! . The bowls are 5qt stainless steel and very deep. I have noticed less water splash on the floor! Yes, believe it! Gus got used to it right away! I would recommend this to anyone who has a very large dog! |

| The crate is strong, and really easy to set up. Due to my excitement I set it up without the instructions and when I looked back on them I did everything correctly anyways. I thought that was pretty sweet. It's a good price too. The product tag says that it is a size for chihuahuas but I think it is too big for one even with the panel divider. I do wish the door hinge that keeps the door close would click or snap into place. I think a smart dog would be able to get out without damaging anything. But as long as the dog understands that he/she isn't allowed to leave until you tell him/her to then it shouldn't be a problem. I would give it a 4.5 for the door. This is my first dog crate purchase so I'm unsure if all dogs doors close simply like this, but even so, I think any owner would feel more comfortable with a hinge that clicks into place or feels more heavy duty. |

| This is a BAD product-I purchased it in July and the red light came on several months after indicating the thing was not working properly for protection-the unit completely stopped this morning. A total waste of $$$ and I cannot return it unless I pay - it was supposed to have a long warranty but so much for that. Don't waste your money I will not again. |

| My copy of the collection must be recorded incorrectly. The voices are sped up and sound very unnatural. The recording speed must have been set at the wrong value for each track, because some poets sound like a chipmunk and others sound almost okay. The CD plays the same way on a audiophile CD player and two different computers. I recorded a wav file and varied the sampling rate using Matlab. A technician must have transposed 22050 to 20250 Hz on some of the tracks. Though, the other track speeds don't make sense. |

| A lousy film. The dialogue was very hard to understand. No subtitles on the DVD. Very unrealistic plot. The killer turned out to be someone we never met till the very end of the movie. The pathologist did not examine the victim's uterus until blood tests were suspicious of a pregnancy?!! No checkup on what is under the fingernails of the victim until much later?!! The pathologist keeping the body on a stretcher for days, talking to it, and then kissing it??? Give me a break! |

| I just want to warn all potential customers that this product has not been reliable. My unit broke down twice in a period of 8 months. I sent it once for repairs and I had to wait 4 weeks to get it back. Two after I setup the unit the same problem all over again. Here is what happens: you can program all your sensors no problem but somehow the unit can no longer receive or loses it's ability to hear the sensors -- the sensors will not trigger the alarm. The wireless communication fails.Part of my regret is that I purchased many extra sensors that ended up costing me hundreds of dollars. I intend to smash the unit with a hammer and send Skylink the pictures for their inspection! |

| I would never buy these boots again for my husband. Within a few weeks the shoestrings broke, within a month one of the top eyelets broke off...within the second month another top eyelet broke off. I wanted to send them back but my husband wouldn't let me. Thought I was getting a good deal - well, they are less expensive and made like a pair of boots from Payless. NEVER will buy these again!! Only gave one star because of Amazon's fast shipping. |

| I bought this CD at a 99 store along with with Evil Mothers' "Spider Sex and Car Wrecks." After listening to Cashcratix I wondered why Gunjah never made it. Best tracks here are Hit Me, Cashcratix, Gun, DNA, Crusin', and Sick 2 Death. If you love thrash Metal you're really gonna like this. Really buying this was the best dollar I've ever spent, I would have spent tweleve or even fifteen bucks on this great CD. |

| I found this movie to be a wonderfully put together piece of film for the time in which it was made. All of these actors went on to bigger and better things in life. I feel that this film essentially made them the stars that they are today. Some have dropped out of sight but a lot of them are still around and doing very well for themselves. I was 13 when this movie was made and I have never had a film move me as much as this movie did. I would recommend this movie to anyone who likes to go back in time and see what that era was all about. I put this down as one of my all time favourites. |

| The Shins - a wonderful band with two great albums under their belts. This is their second record, and in many ways it is stronger than their first. It's more diverse and the production is of a different style - where as Oh, Inverted World had that recognizable 60's pop aesthetic - this album is a bit cleaner sounding. Personally, I think I prefer the first album, though this album is great too - get them both! If you can, find the vinyl for this album - it's translucent red, really cool! |

| Never have i had a more disapointing experience in my life than the 56 minutes I wasted listening to this pile of S hit. I loved Aqua's Aquarium and Eifel 65's "Europop" but this wretched spawn of hellfire does not stand close. Jonas Berggren, together with his two friends Johnny Lindén and Nicklas Tränk, made far superior jamtunes with their melodic tones and perfect, nay, godlike composing. I wouldn't listen to them with your ears. I really thought from everything i heard before November 2, 2004 that this was going to be the next La Bouche, but I was sorely mistaken. This is worse than Sid & Marty Krofft's "Land Of The Lost". Do not buy this. IT IS A RIPOFF! |

| Once again, Obie Bermudez delivers a subtle but effective approach to his distinct musical style, which--in spite of his exclusive use of an effusively poetic rendering of the Spanish language--transcends the Latin genre. Who but Obie can make a harsh exchange of words ("Maldita Boca") or a tragic ode to an historical Mexican film figure ("Chapulin") have infectious pop hooks that make you want to play the songs over and over? Overall, "Todo el Año" is not as powerful an album as "Confesiones", but Obie does not disappoint with this 11-track offering. And, although none of the individual tracks may measure up to the multigenerational appeal of "Antes" (from his "Confesiones" album), "Todo el Año" gets you jumping, dancing, crooning, and revelling in sweet melancholy as soon as the first few notes begin to play. Definitely a great purchase! |

| Although the book recounts several interesting little stories, most of the book is boring, trite, and without much substance. The author tries to make golf sound interesting and stimulating, but ends up putting the reader to sleep.Not very well written, but is interesting only to those who are contemplating joining the PGA tour, not those of us who are interested in the game of golf. |

| Even for the $50 or whatever I spent on this, this is by far the worst graphics program I've ever used. Utterly counterintuitive, it also does random things during export that I don't care to figure out how to fix. Ugh. CorelDRAW, you deserve to go out of business for releasing such a poor product. I most certainly do not recommend this. |

| I cannot believe that someone can make this type of "documentary" (and I use the term loosely, as "pack of lies" would be more appropriate), inject it with all kinds of lies and manipulation of facts, and make so much money from it. I have no respect for someone who becomes a millionaire criticizing his own government based on lies but then praises communist countries (Cuba) that deny the very freedom (freedom of speech) that allowed him to become so wealthy. If you must see this movie, PLEASE see "Fahrenhype 9/11" right afterwards. That way you will get the REAL story, and you'll get to see all the fabrications that Michael Moore would like you to believe as fact. And in fact, "Fahrenhype 9/11" is a lot more interesting than Moore's movie, which most of the time just drags on. Of course, that is when it is not cheaply exploiting the images of our soldiers. |

I went to Wal-Mart and bought a much better quality pan for 1 dollar more and that is not considering the shipping cost. I would have sent it back but for $13.50 it wasn't worth the time, packaging and postage to return it. Go to Wal-Mart on this one. |

| I understand each cat is different and some will like this product, some will not. My issue is with the price. It is way too overpriced only to find out your pets fall into the latter category. Neither of my two Ragdolls cared for this, which is highly unusual for them as they like everything. I'd say, save your money and make your own spa. This one is just pieces of brush-like plastic which could easily be replicated. Buyer beware! |

| This is the first of Sawyer's books that I did not enjoy. I thought the combination of dinosaurs and time-travel would be a winning combination. That's what I get for thinking. The plot was boring and a bit far-fetched for my tastes. There's a certain level of believability that I like and this one didn't fall within the parameters. The characters were dull or irritating. The dino encounters were lackluster. The plot was, to me, a bit silly. The sub-plots, even sillier. I would be more specific but it would require me to give away plot points in the book. I may be critical but I don't wish to ruin anyone elses read. They may find the book delightful. I did not. |

Everyone who has the opportunity to look through these Nikon Premier SE (sometimes called Superior "E")binoculars always respond....WOW!

| I was only trying to get into one school, it was the only one with the program I needed. It is just starting to make the lists for top 50 business schools. This book was invaluable. It really walks you through all the steps of applying. A few things didn't apply to me but it was all useful. I didn't have the chance to do an interview for a backup school first as it recommends, because I didn't have one. But with this book I was prepared. So, long story short, I got in and even recieved a significant scholarship. |

| At first the unit worked fine. Then it would occasionally freeze up (i.e. none of the controls would work, not even the power button), the only solution being to unplug the power cord and then replug. After a while, it was constantly freezing AND the scheduled recording was no longer reliable. At that point I gave up. Reading other people's reviews of Panasonic DVD recorders, it is clear that mine is not an isolated case. If you are interested in a DVD recorder, I would recommend checking out the Toshiba models. Buying a Panasonic is clearly risky. |

| Listen, I have no great history of loving Fleetwood Mac...I like a lot of their songs and I own Rumours, Tango In The Night and their Greatest Hits...I listen to them on occasion.I bought this CD because I think Lindsey Buckingham is an enormous talent..his solo album "Out Of The Cradle" is one of my all-time favorites...so I figured...he produced it and wrote half the songs and it's on sale...so what the heck, I'll give it a shot...Anyway, bottom line...this is a "double-LP size" collection of songs by Buckingham and Nicks and there is not a clinker in the bunch...the rhythm section (F&M;) is better than ever...just a great CD. |

| I finally found a movie worse than "Lady Godiva Rides".The actors and actresses in this movie must have worked for free. Marsha Jordan getting undressed was the highlight of the moviebut they killed her off too early.The actor and male stars must have been handymen at the studio who decided to be actors. Georgia's husband was horrible. The step daughter was just as bad.If you can find a plot to this movie go public with it.Thismovie is even worse than "Plan 9 From Outer Space".Don't buy this movie,find one and steal it. |

| Probably the best album I've ever heard. Comparing to some early songs like 'Turpentine' and 'Burn Black', there was a change in style. It was cool, and I'm glad that a song like 'Softer, Softest' can be even softer than some My Heart Will Go On song. It's simply worth the money, and you won't think that you should die. |

| I used this product for about 7 months. When I ran out recently it took me awhile to order some more. I haven't been using this product for about three weeks now and my skin is no different (actually it might be looking a bit better). I have combination skin and am prone to brake outs on my chin with some minor blemishes on my cheeks from time to time. This lotion has salicylic acid in it which is supposed to be good for acne prone skin. My breakouts never improved while using this product and now that I've discontinued using it, I haven't noticed any difference except that my skin actually seems to be looking clearer. Needless to say, I won't be restocking this item in my medicine cabinet since I never saw an improvement in my skin while using it. I'm still using Active Moist as my general facial moisturizer. |

| I saw the Movie the day after I read the book. Of course thebook was a lot better but the movie was good too. Travolta was anexcellent choice. I found the book and movie to be pretty accurate as far as military life, being prior military myself, but I didn't experience any negative stuff most people precieve (mostly from literature) that women have. I liked the book because it wasn't as predictable as i thought it would be. It was one surprise after another. This was my first time reading any of Demille's work but certainly not my lasts. |

| I thourougly enjoyed this book. The content is certainly not compromised by its small size. I am a college student and a history minor and this book is very accurate. It begins with a short history of colonial women and then delves into Ann Bailey's life. Lewis keeps the book interesting by including personal accounts and interviews with people who knew Ann Bailey. He also includes poems that were written about her. There are even maps in the back of the book. This book was written over a hundred years ago and that could have made it drab or dry, but this book was lively and full of great detail. Lewis is fantastic about using lots of vivid imagery and beautiful language to keep the reader drawn in. I highly recommend this book for reports or for anyone who is interested in learning more about Ann Bailey, or what life was like for colonial women. |

| during the reformation, the great schism ignited by martin luther between roman catholicism and the new protestantism of the north, luther compared rome to sodom, and scaled sodom as the runner up...the war that ensued included every atrocity that could be imagined, such as the impaling of individuals on sharpened tree limbs, roasting them over a slow fire, and slashing open the bellies of pregnant women and flinging their unborn children to ravenous dogs...in other words, it was a fairly ordinary war...but i have little taste for such spectacles, and i find it difficult to believe that an actor of rutger's stature would immerse himself to the ears in a slasher movie that attempts, however futilely, to outrevulse all contenders...at least the trailer gives fair warning, but the high rating it is accorded by critics who have damned to near death films of real quality, with tedious cavils and faint praises, is entirely outrageous. |

| Weller 18 a 60s obsessed mod teen takes speed sees the Pistols live and combines his love for soul and R&B with the fire of the who and the emerging punk scene. Is it a great record?- no but its a vital energetic youthful stab of music that would begin the career of the Uk's best songwriter youth icon. Plus there are some great tunes In the City Away from the numbers etc. This is a snapshot of London circa 1977 and though never punk Weller was the essential rebel and no one looked better and more determined than Paul. The Jam were to become the essential British rock band outside of the Clash and weller has gone on to this very day to be one of the best songwriters of our Generation. And better still the Jams legacy is untarnished and still sounds refreshing today!!! |

| Running a farm is hard work, but when Farmer Brown assigns chores to the animals, Duck decides its too much. He orchestrates a vote, and gets himself elected farmer, only to find that being farmer is more work than just being an animal on the farm. In his quest for a work-free job, Duck continues up the political ladder, all the way to the White House! Farmer Brown was right, Duck really is trouble!While the illustrations still have the same familiar whimsy, this story just isn't as silly as the earlier antics on the Brown farm, leaving a story that feels a bit preachy and less entertaining than expected. The kids will still enjoy this, but the adults probably won't like it as much as the earlier efforts. |

| Have used several different types of breadmakers and have excellent Cuisinart Products so wanted to try their machine. Two problems that I see make this machine not one I would recommend. One is having to retrieve the paddle from the raw dough... if you are there when it beeps! Or, alternatively having the whole paddle baked into the loaf so solidly getting it out can ruin the appearance of the loaf. The second problem is the actual baking, I think this machine bakes too high and too fast making the bread (very often) sink or overcooked which means unless it is used as soon as it finishes baking it already has a stale dryness to it. I did eventually reach passable results by making sure the water was quite warm and setting the machine to work in the coldest room in the house with the fan switched on to reduce any humidity. I am replacing the machine and am disappointed that I am having to do so. My advice is to try another brand. |

| "Night of the Living Rerun" is, by far, the WORST of the Buffy novels. The author obviously has no understanding of the characters and only a basic knowledge of the premise. The characters were trite, the references inconsistent at best (completely wrong at worst!), the premise was shaky, and the storyline unsalvageable.Do yourselves a favor - skip over this book and go directly to "Blooded". I guarantee you much more bang for your buck... |

| You could definitely do worse with 70 minutes than watch this fun Bruce Campbell film. While all the cuts are not nearly as seamless as you may have been led to believe, you don't notice the majority of them. The pace is consistent and well-suited to the plot, and the acting is generally pretty good. If you're a fan of Bruce Campbell, this is definitely a must-see. If you're not, it's still worth a look. |

This video gives them a fun way to remember "how" to do it. It has great colors, music, and repetition that go along with fun ways to remember what a vowel is and even sound blends. I am very impressed with this...they are not big into TV/videos but they ask to watch this twice a day and I can see a difference in their eagerness to learn! Great job, LeapFrog! |

| Do NOT buy ANY Symantec Product UNLESS YOU WILL NEVER HAVE A NEED FOR CUSTOMER SERVICE - THERE IS NONE! I have just spent 4 hours AFTER HAVING PAID for SUBSCRIPTION RENEWAL to my firewall trying to get my renewal activated. After going through 15 menus on-line to try and email customer service, I was given a form. I entered the info. When I finally got an email response, it had nothing to do with my question, then told me if it didn't help, I would have to REPEAT THE ENTIRE ON-LINE Process! I then called their "Customer Service" line - PUT ON HOLD FOR 30 MINUTES! Finally had to redo renewal by phone without answer to question. This is typical of ANY NORTON PRODUCT CUSTOMER SERVICE! |

| I've yet to come across a more verbose writer with less to say ... maybe Joseph Heller ... go out and buy Catch-22 if you liked this one |

| This is my seventh book by Mr. Coben, third in the "Myron Bolitar" series and all been exceptionally well written. Compared to the other novels in this series, the story is a little weaker but with the strong characters and dialog, it still warrants four stars.Since I have read five of the "Myron Bolitar" books a lot of the action is expected since the characters are pretty well defined from previous books in the series. It has gotten to where I can predict when his slightly psycho pal, Win Lockwood, is going to show up. But knowing the characters makes for a quick, easy read.I have started reading "Innocent" and already I can tell that this novel will be one of HC's best. He has three subplots going full steam and I am only about one third way into the book. So many interesting new characters and I am wondering how they will all tie together.Author al-Qaeda Strikes Again |

| This CD is heavy duty SAD. If you are a heroin addict, this CD may cheer you up. I only liked one song on the CD and I am a Lucinda fan. This is not a feel-good CD. |

| These slippers are not a bargain. They fall apart within a few months and then you need to buy another pair again. Don't buy 'em. They're junk. |

| This is quite possibly the best mix ever. All the tracks are great, as mentioned before, almost too good. I downloaded this mix online, but after listening to it, I liked it so much i just had to buy it. I agree with another reviewer who said the best part was around 13 minutes in; that song is sweet. Tiesto mixes these tracks flawlessly. Truly an amazing mix. |

| I was looking for a good walking sandal that could be adjusted in case my feet were swollen (as often happens after flying). These were comfortable right away, the size was good, wore them every day and they were always comfortable, no blisters forming. Very happy with them, and would purchase other Propet products. |

| Before I read this book, I was blowing up at my kids at least once a day. Just a few weeks later, that no longer happens. I'm able to monitor when I'm getting frustrated and keep in control so I don't start yelling out of the blue.This book really made me feel understood by the author. I recognized myself and the people I know in the descriptions of angry people. The biggest thing for me was that he understood how profoundly being yelled at as a child can affect you. He explains that people get angry because their needs aren't being met. So now, I check in with myself regularly to see whether I'm hungry, or tired, or frustrated, and then I try to take steps to meet those needs before I blow up.The main flaw in the book is that it doesn't provide enough detail about how to be assertive. I would have liked to see specific examples and guidelines for how to talk to other people about your needs in an effective, assertive way rather than being aggressive or too passive. |

| The album before that had Corabi was the bomb. I wish I had heard Jon on Swine but he was let go and Vince (who is THE lead singer of the Crue)was brought back in. In a nutshell, Swine has one decent track imo and that is Afraid. |

| This is the worst text book I have ever purchased for a class. It is full of errors and is very difficulty to follow. There are not enough practice problems and the answer key does not give enough information as to how the answer came about. There are discrepencies from one page to the next. |

| Revealing documentary about what is being done to hold back the children of today from education reform. Anyone who gives this documentary anything less than 4 stars is profiting off the current school system and therefore resistant to change. Sad how the kids, they ones we pay them them to teach, get ignored. Watch this if you want to see real information on how we destroy generation after generation of minds by ignoring the sad state of US public education. |

| A word of caution. The ad states, "Free audio CD includes all the exercises in the Student Book, providing a model of correct pronunciation for each sound." The audio CD's that are included do not cover all of the excersises in this book. These CD's only cover the "check yourself" section at the end of the book. You have to order a separate book and Audio Program to get all of the excersises. |

| I just received this CD today. Very disappointing. His CD "The Voice" was excellent and I looked forward to more of the same on "Encore". Unfortunately, it sounds as though Mr. Watson has just graduated from the Whitney Houston School of Music. I hardly recognized him on most of the cuts. |

| The feedback via the metal prong was so bad I didn't actually get to try them out. They didn't fit right, the materials they were made from reminded me of a .25 toy from a machine. They had no chance in this life time of staying in my ears - running with them is out of the question.Since I couldn't hear with them and they wouldn't fit in my ears - there is no possible use I can imagine for these headphones other than yard sale for .10. Even a cheapo $3.00 pair of headphones from any outlet will be better quality then these. I have never seen such a crude set of headphones - ever and I'm really surprised they have the Sony brand name attached. |

| There used to be hundreds of little walkman-type AM/FM radios, but that was before the mp3 revolution. I still like, sometimes, to listen to the actual radio, and I bought this exact model about 5 years ago at a store -- still works on FM. It stopped working on AM; again an anachronism, I sometimes listen to an all-news radio station, so I decided to order another, and it works. The old-fashioned headphones are quaint, not to mention the old-fashioned, analog tuning dial. (I'm old enough to remember the first "transistor radios" that actually required no tubes!) |

| I had to read The Pearl for school and until now all the books I read for school were horrible, but The Pearl stood out. I didn't want it to finish. The worst thing about the book was that it was so short. I feel Steinbeck did such a great job, if he was still alive I would shake his hand. |

| Free Rain is the CD to buy if you like your beats dark and heavy. Put this one in your car and go on a trip where the beats dance with melodies that are from another planet. Check out the intro track and you'll never go back. I have this in heavy rotation right after Stop the Panic by Luke Vibert & BJ Cole. Free Rain is another CD for those who love music without any singing, or rapping. |

| Some artists age like fine wines. Clapton and his unplugged ablum is a perfect example of this generation of rocker who has managed to stay relevant. Alas, the same can not be said of Pete and this album. As an avid fan of his solo work and his work with the Who, I was so disappointed with this album. The voice is weak, the guitar playing insipid, the execution of each song pathetic. Save your money, put on some Clapton. |
