| This is one of those items that everybody registers for because everyone says that you must have one. We found ours to be really useless. You aren't supposed to use it, even with the baby facing you, until the baby is 4 months old and able to hold their head up. By that time, they are getting heavy enough that they aren't really that comfortable to wear around this way for long periods. My other mom friends who I walk with all stopped using it by about 6 months and switched to backpacks or jogging strollers. Our baby hated being "trapped" in it; we found a Maya wrap to be much easier to use and much more comfortable for him and for us. This has too many buttons/latches/adjustments and was a pain to get on and off and get the baby into/out of. I think we used it a total of three times. At this price, not worth it. |

| I'm a big jazz fan so Michael W. Smith is new to me. My wife listens to a local Christian station and thus I was exposed to the music. When I first heard a Michael W. Smith I knew right away this guy was good. Live the Life is an excellent CD. Like many of us, I can identify with Missing Persons. I also find Live the Life a powerful song. I was surprised to learn that he wrote In My Arms Again for the movie Titanic. Song For Rich is a nice bagpipe tune. Hello, Good-Bye brought me to tear because I almost lost my little one after he was born. That one hit very close to home. I find this whole CD a power influence. I also bought his 2 Christmas CD's. |

| This is an amateurishly produced video which has good information, but falls short otherwise. The presenter appears uncomfortable in front of a camera, and sounds like he has a sinus infection. I bought this to accompany my lecture, but it didn't really add much. I don't know if the other videos in the Massage Nerd series are like this, but I would be wary of buying another one. |

| Four months after I bought this player it also did the skipping, pixelated, black screen process due to overheating and condensation on the lens. I was charged the 85 dollars from Panasonic to have it fixed. Needless to say, less than six months after I got it back the problem started again. Now it will play a maximum of 35 minutes before the unit freezes (on cd's as well, not just dvd's.) I will never buy ANYTHING from Panasonic, or Panasonic affiliated companies again!!! Apparently they haven't figured out how to make a decent piece of equipment anymore because Amazon is loaded with bad reviews on their newest equipment as well. They got my 430 dollars, bent me over and said thanks. |

| I used this machine almost daily for two years. My only complaint is the steam wand's detachable cover that promotes gunk inside the wand and is difficult to clean. That and the instruction manual that is so full of typos it looks like it was written by my preschooler. However, the machine worked well otherwise and I definitely got my money's worth out of it. I stored the machine unused for ten months. This morning I fired it up again, and a lot of what I believe were hard water deposits came out, enough to block the water flow. This despite the fact that I previously used filtered water 99% of the time. It's impossible to see inside the machine to see what the issue is. Two rounds of white vinegar and four rounds of plain filtered water later, I still have a lot of particles coming out of the machine, too many to be acceptable for drinking. I will most likely be throwing the machine away now. |

| Around The World In Eighty Days is one of the shortest of Jules Verne's novels, and possibly the easiest for modern audiences to read. It is still enjoyable, even if you already know the ending. (And for extra fun, get the computer to pronounce Passepartout for you!) I've probably read it three times already since I was a kid. |

| This book was an insult to my intelligence to be brutally honest. This guy must have read, "The Physics Behind Star Trek", and realized he could make a buck by hitting on the Metaphysics.I've been studying Philosophy (Thats what Metaphysics is) for the last three years, and theres not ANYTHING that I actually considered useful. If it wasn't for the fact that I must finish any book I start, I wouldn't have finished this one.You, the reader, whether educated in this subject or not, could probobly put together a better piece of work.I recommend you invest your money in birth control, at least you'll get some use and pleasure out of that. |

| Initially, I was put off by the cost, but figured it must be a quality kettle. Within a few months of owning the pot, the handle to the water reservoir broke. An end of the plastic handle pulled off the lid. No problem, I just screwed it back in. A month later it pulled out again. This time, I unscrewed to the handle to find that the screws were only held in by a metal collar embedded in the plastic. The metal collar somehow stripped and pulled out of the plastic. The handle was permanently broken. I pressed the handle and lid back on and started filling the kettle through the pour. The screws holding the handle on the lid started to rust.I also found the pour handle clunky. If you don't hold it level, it will pop open unexpectedly and splash water out. Not a big problem for me, but my wife (who is petite) always had a problem holding the pot with one hand.The pot is getting replaced. 50 dollar piece of garbage. |

| Recently losing both of my parents I thought it would be comforting to read this book. However, I was disappointed to find out that the majority of the book (98%) dealt with Don Piper's struggles to recover from a horrific accident and not his brief visit to heaven. Unlike other reviewers though I do not feel the need to condemn him for this, that or the other. I just want people to be aware that the book is more centered around what happens after his time in heaven, not his actual time in heaven. I would suggest getting it from the library if possible. |

| I think this book has exactly no action in it! This book is long and boreing. I also did not understand what was going on. The author should rewright the book and add more action. I just think it needs more action. This is all I have to say. |

| Here is someone who appreciates the melodic potential of the ukulele, a perennially underrated instrument, and has the sheer virtuosity to deliver on that potential. Jake Shimabukuro. My only complaint is that it's too short! So it sits in my car CD player for a while, until I get tired of the repetition and load something else. Jake proves he understands these songs on a deep level, by what he chooses to embellish or roll over or leave out. His taste is impeccable and he creates his own version of each song, distinctly his. Beautiful work. Just a little shorter than I'd wish for.My Life |

| I am terribly discussed with this purchase. I bought this camera on my way to the Houston Astrodome to welcome the evacuee's from Louisiana. I most definitely wanted pictures of what I witnessed. Guess what!! NOT ONE PICTURE TURNED OUT!!I am irate, to say the least. I trusted this product and was let down during one of our countries historic events. Simply returning this camera and getting my money back DOES NOT begain to repay me.The program itself is complicated, from the driver download process to viewing the photos. I saw my pictures only once, then could never find them again. I took several pictures and some short video, but found that none of them had been saved in the camera.Vivitar, you owe me a HUGE appology. How can you sell a product like this for more than $10 which I happen to think is too much for it. |

| It is impossible to pour a cup of coffee without the basket dripping on the hot plate and the coffee dripping from the carafe as you pour. Don't try to pour at the table, pour next to the coffee maker with sponge and paper towel handy.It does brew a nice cup of coffee and keep it hot.Another problem is that the programmable and on/off buttons protrude from the front of the curved base. I thought at first the clock didn't work. What happens is it is very easy to accidental touch these buttons with anything near the coffee maker and throw off your settings. |

| If you're a history buff, you will find much to like or even love in this book. It will also help if you have lots of time to read a 973 page novel. My caution is that the book has much more sex and violence than I would have liked. If you can skip through those parts, which seem to come quite frequently, and enjoy the book for the tiny details that help explain a little about medieval life, this book is a great reading experience. |

| I was so excited to receive Black and White 2 in the mail. I used to play the original when I was younger and I am a big fan of PC Games. But THIS GAME did not work on a single computer in my house ( I tried three different ones and there were different problems on different computers.) I was unable to return it for another game, so I decided to sell it at my own accord. I am so upset that I am unable to play it. I don't know what the main problem is but this is the first purchase gone wrong on Amazon and I hope it doesn't happen again. |

| I found that I ran into a problem; this was my significant other's absolute favorite movie of all time, but it happened to be firmly locked in the vault. Then, I found this movie and it completely surprised me and I just had to buy it. Now we have a tradition of buying a new movie for the other person whenever they have to leave on a trip - and I've been working on completing her Disney collection. Chances are, if this seller has any more movies from the vault, I'll be back as a buyer |

| Bette Davis does it again in this movie. The story revolves around two sisters, Stanley and Roy. Roy, (Olivia DeHaviland) is married to Peter, and in the opening sequence, Stanley (Bette Davis) runs off with him on the eve of her own wedding. In this early film, Bette is sparkling and less mannered than her later films. Olivia DeHaviland is also good as the strong sister Roy. Dennis Morgan and George Brent as the two male leads are less memorable, but against these two ladies, who can blame them! |

| This book is not The Secret. The so called secret has been around for hundreds if not thousands of years. I get really peed off when someone like Rhonder Byrnes pretends to have found the secret, when I've been reading about this stuff for 20 years. Some interesting bits but, the writing is too small to read and I have perfect eye sight. Also, it does seem quite shallow. I know of people who have just read it and they think it's going to really change their life. But low and behold they have the same troubles and are in the same place where they started. It's a quick fix and doesn't work for most people. I want something that really works. |

| I read this book at least 30 years ago, when I was a teenager. I got it from the scholastic book club. It left a deep impression in my mind, not only from the entertaining story of her madness and the experiences she had during this adventure, but why she became mad and the lesson she learned about keeping sane. She attributed her madness to the stressful work atmosphere she was experiencing, and how she was hijacked by her mad self into leaving this oppressive atmosphere, which eventually led to her healing. I would recommend that anyone reading this book pay attention to that part of it. I think her message is very, very sane. |

| I bought this iron after deciding there was no way I could justify paying $120 for a Chi. I was not disappointed with my purchase! This iron is great. It's the perfect width (I feel 1 inch is too small, 2 inches too big), and it's pretty affordable. I have tried other irons in the past, but this is by far my favorite. |

| This product is ok if you do not want a close shave. Using a manual razor is better on all other areas. It left much stuble on the legs, this is the area that I shave the most because I cycle a lot. If you don't need a close shave buy it but if you want a clean stuble free area use a manual razor. Also just using a normal electric razor designed for your face works really well. |

| Hold it! The Church may hear! Ssshhh... Okay... Well, this book reveals the politics inside the Church and I really like West's explicit account of which. It shows that he once really worked in the Vatican. So, the story was carefully planned, dramatically conveyed and expertly rehearsed. Untillll.... the most unrealistic ending and the worst climax! Disgusting. But try it if you go for ultra-fictional novels! |

| although parts of it were a five. It wasn't brilliant, but I really felt it kept to the spirit of the Regency period, and to the old-fashioned Regency romances. No smut. Just a very sweet romance. Maybe I am just getting old and cranky, but I really miss a well-written romance like Georgette Heyer used to write. I am tired of gratutitious sex scenes in romance novels...b;ah blah blah blah 10-page sex scene...blah blah bla hanother 10-page sex scene and on and on. I almost think these authors put the sex scences in a template and write crap around them just to fill pages. This wasn't one of them. Do I wish the characters a little more developed? Would I like to know why was Juliet's father such as ass? Yes-but bottom line, I enjoyed it enough to write a review. |

| The "novelty" wore off after page 2. The book was tedious, boring and insanely stupid. I just can't understand the positive reviews. It was physically painful to turn the page, it was that bad. I actually bought the "Ultimate Hitchhikers Guide" which containted his 5 complete novels. All of them were equally bad. This book was anything but funny, I think my 3rd grade son can write better. Save your money and go with a much better author like Heinlin or Hogan. |

| Been a fan of the Spice Girls for quite some time now. Love their music, but I can't lie. This movie has one of the worst story lines ever created. I really hate that part when they say they're really hot and need a fan, then a screaming girl comes running in. I mean, come on, that was just too lame. The editor must have been on crack when he let that slip. As much as I hate to do it, I can't go any higher than 2 stars on this one. Sorry girls. |

| Don't buy this book! It says it lists native wildflowers, but lythrum salicaria (purple loosestrife) is listed in the table of contents. This species has been listed as an invasive species or noxious weed in about thirty states. Its sale is prohibited by law in several of those states. Obviously the authors did not do their homework. I wouldn't be surprized if there were other invasives listed in there too. |

| This was the worst thing I could have installed. Once installed, my DVD player no longer worked. I can play CDs but not DVDs. I tried uninstalling SE, but it leaves residual files that CANNOT be removed. If you do attempt the uninstall, then the DVD worked, but other programs don't. Microsoft and Gateway refuse to help with the issue. Gateway claims I purchased it 3rd party from Mircosoft (! ) and Microsoft says it's Gateway's responsibility. So now I have a $3000 machine with a useless DVD. Take my advice: DO NOT use this software. The testing was poor, and the changes that do work are not worth the effort. Unless you want to FTP from Explorer, you don't need IE5. And at least your equipment will continue to work. |

| I've used Dryel for years, and used to be pretty happy with it, as it seemed to do a good job of freshening up my shirts, pants, & even some jackets. However, in the last couple years, it seems to have been rendered impotent. One night out with a lady friend of mine, I kept smelling a funky odor, and wondered what it was, and that it might be her.... Well, as I drove home, I realized the smell was still lingering, and finally realized it was my shirt! The normal "freshening" of my clothes failed to occur, and the shirt smelled just as it did after a night of playing sax, in a hot, steamy, Georgia night club! Well, that's obviously not acceptable. I've tried a couple other boxes of them, and I've found this to be the new norm, if something has been worn while in a sweaty environment, forget about any nice smelling results... |

| Very disappointing SACD. Uses none of the technical advantages of SACD. Is simply a re-recording of the 1970s original master with all its typical 70s era flaws. Could have achieved the same goals by re-recording on 8 track tape except they don't exist anymore. Only buy this if you are interested in having a historically accurate recording, not if you are interested in great sound. Recommend buying the cd for $4.71 which interestingly enough claims to be remastered. |

| THis book has some good ideas about listening actively, and involving all parties in decision making and conflicts. However, this author does not believe that parents are a child's authority, and that children will be blessed by obeying parents, (basic Biblical foundations for family structure.) I've read lots of Christian parenting books which teach you how to understand your child better, and how to talk to your child better, and which don't rely so heavily on corporal punishment. But this book flies against the very nature of the family structure which I believe God has put in place. |

For some reason I feel much more creative when I am outside in the open air rather than inside in the boring stale air.This card was installed in almost no time at all and it felt like it was almost too easy. But after the reboot I was able to find and see that the card was installed correctly and the quick time wasn't a bad thing, but a good thing.The wireless range seems pretty good.

| A month ago, I posted a 4-star review of this product. I thought it worked pretty well. It was fast and easy to use and required no pre-heating.Tonight, I woke up to an apartment full of smoke. The unit turned itself on and it was baking itself. The way the unit turns on, I know that it couldn't have been activated by user error -- no careless brush against the control panel would turn it on, as you actually need to press several buttons in order to turn it on. In fact, I hadn't used the oven in about a week -- Yet, there it was, tonight, glowing in the dark kitchen. I pulled the plug. There's a bit of a scorch mark on the wall behind it, but aside from the acrid smoke, I caught it before it did any more damage. I just now did a search on the web, and I've seen several accounts similar to mine.I would feel awful if someone bought the oven on my advice and suffered a fate worse than mine. Please don't buy this oven, or, if you do, keep it unplugged when not in use. |

| I like this thing a lot. What really makes it great for me is the screw that replaces the screw in your wall outlet. You can plug your stuff in and unplug again with one hand. Sweet!Turning the outlets on their side, however, is a bit dopey for me. You turn transformers (adapters) out of the way of one another but usually end up dumping the bottom end into the wall by the surge protector. Anyways, it's a small issue because now I have six plugs for the outlets! |

| This tub was such a disappointment. First, it is VERY difficult to use with an infant. My daughter continued to slide down off of the sling because it did not support her. Second, it leaked after the second use. We tried placing a towel under the tub but the towel was completely soaked after about 5 minutes. By the third time the water was gushing out. Also, it is way too big to fit in your standard sinks. I think this is a waste of money and would not recommend this item to anyone. The only reason why I gave it one star is because it would not allow anything lower. I really do not feel that this tub deserves the one star. PLEASE DO NOT PURCHASE!!!!!! |

| I have always loved this opera (along with just about all Donizetti), but this highly touted English translation was terrible. Every voice in it was shrill and strident except Baker's. I hated the music hearing it sung in English. It reminded me of Gilbert and Sullivan, and I prefer the Gilbert and Sullivan, even though I don't like Gilbert and Sullivan. (Prudish, priggish Mr. Gilbert, the proto-family values Victorian!) I am listening now to the CD of Maria Stuarda with Sutherland, and once again it's wonderful. Top notes all over the place, even from the men. There was not one single top note sung in this dismal DVD. This was my 2nd try at a DVD of this opera, I won't try again. I wish people who can't sing coloratura would stop billing themselves as though they can! I don't have the money to buy them all to find out. |

| Don't expect smash up action, betrayal or political intrigue. This book is as placid as a beautiful lake on a sunny day. It helps immensely that you have some knowledge going in about Vermeer's paintings. Without it, you may be going in half-blind. Otherwise, for those of us who have always been fans of this Dutch master, the mysterious one who has so very few paintings to his credit, this book makes the painting come alive in a way that makes sense. I loved this book and recommend it highly if you're looking for a "break" from the horrors of a busy work day. |

| A very deep study of Mao's every move for decades, with each questionable decision and hidden agenda explained in great detail, using documents from around the world as evidence...but as dry as that sounds, it's actually quite a page-turner. I started reading this at the same time as a Gao Xingjian novel and found this book even more compelling than the fiction.After reading this compendium of selfish atrocities, it is very hard to see people my age (college- to post-college) wearing this man's image as little more than a fashion statement. Were this required reading, the man would be as reviled as Hitler.But along those lines, my only criticism is that this book is so virulently anti-Mao that it clearly delves into pure opinion periodically, and the personal tone of it makes me suspect its objectivity a lot. Surely SOMETHING that Mao did over the course of his ENTIRE lifetime had pure intent? |

| It said it would fit a Sonata GLS 4 cyclinder, but my car takes a 1020 not a 1015, too late too return it, wasted $25 on a lie. |

| This biography was written by someone who is very well informed about Courtney Love personally. The author, being friends with Courtney, has the best view of Courtney's life. I think the information was probably very accurate in that sense. |

| This album is filled wit some tight lryics and beats. Celly Cel put down some pretty cool hardcore rap in dis album. It is worth checking out and if you are a SickWidIt Records fan then you will like dis one. Any questions you wish to ask me go ahead and ask me at yuckplace@hotmail.com |

| I personally wasn't impressed with this movie. It's okay if you're a big fan of football cause most of the filming is of the game. The theme of the story is great; paralyzed football player dedicates his time coaching juvenile kids. However, the story lacks flow and the ideas aren't well developed. |

| Hey ya'll. I just purchased a Chi from this seller. The item was supposed to be brand new, but it seemed like it was refurbished. The product did turn on, but it didn't heat like I know this model can. also the red light kept flashing. Another thing I disliked was that the item location was supposed to be New Jersey, however, after waiting about a month for our package we received it with China marked in the return address. I just wanted to bring this to your attention before you spend hundred dollars on a disappointing item.Kent |

| I have no idea where this movie was filmed or what language the actors (all with English names!!) were speaking, but the overdubbing was absolutely atrocious. The voice-over actors hardly made an effort to sound enthusiastic, and the voices were terrible. (Would've been better with subtitles.) The movie also could have been trimmed by about a half hour of meaningless and repetitive scenes of shooting a message arrow, trotting through the hills, etc. And them maybe they could've included two of the more critical character's from Scott's novel: Rebecca and her father. Odd that these characters were dropped.)Overall, I thought this a terrible movie, and I am usually very forgiving of anything with swords or knights. |

| This book provides no detail on realistic customer service. As someone who has actually worked retail in my life, I can tell you... This book only encourages a sense of entitlement among those who read it. It's an instruction manual for those who wish to whine, cry, yell, scream, abuse employees and in general throw a tantrum to get what they want.I've always been taught to treat others how you wish to be treated. From experience, being kind, respectful, and understanding is far more likely to get rules bent for you as well as have staff actually enjoy and look forward to your presence. There's a saying: You're more likely to catch flies with honey than vinegar. This book promotes only vinegar.Personally? If you thrust your hand in a "c" at me, I'm calling the cops to have you hauled away for a psych eval. |

| As a die hard kiss fan I have mixed feelings about this film . On one hand the footage of fans and tribute bands is really interesting but the film maker show kiss in a negative light in many scenes and while I know Gene & Paul are not perfect I dont think its fair that they didnt get to say their side of the story. Overall an interesting documentry on life as a kiss fan . |

| I picked up this book because the beginning is set in New Orleans, and because it received 5 stars in others' opinions. I have to strongly disagree with those who liked it. The writing was ponderous, the story didn't flow--I hardly got past the beginning. I grazed through some of the rest of it, but found it as frustrating and unbelievable as the beginning.I like fantasy/time travel/futuristic themes, but I will not be reading any more by this author. |

| A fascinating chapter of the history of the Norman conquest of the Anglo Saxons, and of their bold defiance in face of overwhelming odds, is here told through the adventures of an erstwhile housecarl of King Harold and his family as they join forces with Hereward the Wake to resist (...). A fast moving, well researched story - one of those books you cannot leave at home in the morning. Enjoy. |

| Linked by amazon to Northern tool for this product I found that you do not get the clamps as pictured. Upon calling Horthern Tool I was told to send the filters back as they must be packed short. 10 days later I received a replacement filter set and still did not receive any clamps. Calling Northern Tool again, and having another conversation, I was told they would have to get a vendor response to this issue. That was 2 months ago. No word from anyone. Fourty dollars later I feel I have been totally screwed. |

| I don't need to repeat what the other favorable reviews have said about what this book contains. Suffice to say: this is my favorite astrology book that relates the planetary aspects in a person's natal chart to early parental influences. It is empowering because it "gives insights into a person's needs, drives and motivations and discusses the possible links between the childhood experiences and adult behavior". And while the hard aspects can be painfully accurate, one only needs to read the flowing aspect's example to see how to better utilize the energy. I keep a couple copies of this book on hand so I can lend it out. |

| This book was very different from her other vampire books. I found the first part of the book unenjoyable to read, and i didn't perticularly like the character, though the descriptions were interesting. But the last 1/3rd was extremely interesting to read, and as enjoyable as anything else she's written. when i finished the book i realized it was more of an old fairly tail or myth than a novel. it dealt with things in a more direct and simple fation, and the good and evil contrast were much more obviouse, very black and white, but it worked. If you look at it as a myth rathen then a novel, it is very effective, and a great read. Don't except the sort of engrosing novel you found in lestat or armand. Also, seeing the world through someone who truly believed in angels and deamons, as written in the city of god, was very interesting. |

| The vogue, since the late 80s, of attempting to discredit theory by those who have not mastered the tradition, the philosophical background, or the methods finds a somewhat less strident voice here but not one that does the thinking reader a service. Unfortunately, this text is so much less acute and informed than those it tries to encounter that it does them and itself a disservice. If you would like to begin to understand the problems of literature and philosophy, read some of the texts themselves, not this partial and unintentionally parodic rendition. |

| Jackie Richardson, known mostly for her outstanding performances on stage and screen, conveys just as much emotion and character in "A woman's view". The CD showcases her amazing vocal abilities through jazz, blues and gospel compositions, along side sensitive readings of poems by Colina Philips and Salome Bey. It is clear to hear Jackie's heart, soul and passion shine through in this album, wonderful. |

| I got this toy because of all the good reviews...and you'd *think* that this was something a baby would like. And I suppose plenty of babies do, but my son really couldn't care less. He likes looking at the lights sometimes and maybe chews on the rings some, but he wouldn't even notice if this toy was gone. He's just not really into it and hasn't been very interested in pulling the rings off or putting them on. And there's not much more one can do with this toy...so kind of a waste of money for us. But I'm sure other babies think it's awesome, so maybe just a matter of preference!? |

| I grew up in the shadow of Dick and Jerry Chappell. I heard the stories of Bethesda and the Korean front lines, but I was a small boy listing to his heroes. Getting to read their letters and their thoughts so many years later, as an adult, is indeed a treat. This book is a chronical of what is right with America. Here are two farm boys who go off to serve their country and to have the adventure of a life time. They were honorable boys, and they became the finest of men. If you haven't read it, do yourself a favor spend some time with two real American Boys. |

| Believe the reviews--this book cannot be overrated. It is far and away the best book ever written on playing the hand at bridge. It is encyclopedic and appropriate for experienced and novice players alike. |
