] | I bought this baby almost 2 years ago after doing extensive research on all the mp3 players out there. I'm convinced that people only buy the ipod because it is the best advertized and, therefore, trendiest. However, the iRiver puts the ipod to shame. Not only is it an mp3 player, but it is also an external harddrive. That means you can hold any files you want on it. If you want to transfer 10 movies from one computer to another, just drag em onto the iRiver and it's that simple. For those of you who want to know about the recording function (that the ipod does NOT have), I just bootlegged a concert last week. I was in the middle of the audience and I just used the external microphone it comes with, and the recording came out great for an audience recording! I had to boost up the volume a bit with a wav editing program, but the sound quality was good and clear without any maxing out. And you can record it either wav or mp3 format. Besides that, the battery life is great. The size is basically identical to the ipod, except the ipod is all white and feminine, while the iRiver is black and cooler looking with a sick blue LCD screen. All in all, if you want the best price for the best player out there, get the iRiver. | 5 | The best mp3 player out there | 1,107,302,400 | 02 2, 2005 |

] | Firstly, I want to say that I saw the Scorpions this past summer in Tel-Aviv, Israel and they were rocking like they were 30 years old.Secondly, the Scorpions are one of the unfortunate bands that, due to their immense success of their 80's hits (Rock You Like a Hurricane in particular), they have been stigmatized and forever viewed as solely an 80's "hair band." Pop culture, I love the 80's, etc. have portrayed them in this light so often that people who don't really know their music will simply dismiss them as an 80's band. Little do most people know that the Scorpions started in 1972!! That's almost a full decade before the 80's. They are far from the the 80's image people attach to them. Few bands can go through 3 and a half decades and evolve with music successfully. Honestly, the only bands that have aged well and evolved musically that I can think of at the moment are Rush and Scorpions. So, in short, I salute them for that incredible feat.Regarding Unbreakable, it is definitely a solid rocker. It's like most Scorpions albums, where the majority of the songs are highly listenable and only few are mediocre. Also, they usually have a song that follows the most over-used chord progression in the history of music - Am F C G. The only reason I dont completely dismiss these songs as highly unoriginal and frustrating is because the Scorpions had an Am F C G song way back in 1980 with Make It Real. So they're allowed to use that chord progression (although they use it too often and eventually they should realize that every single unoriginal crappy band or pop singer that comes out today uses that "safe" progression. It's so pathetic already.)The highlights for me are Unbreakable, Through My Eyes, and Deep and Dark.Although the Scorpions definitely have better, more uniform albums, such as Crazy World, Eye II Eye, Face The Heat, Lovedrive, Savage Amusement, Pure Instinct, etc., Unbreakable is a solid good album and I'm happy to see they haven't thrown their hats in just yet. | 4 | Solid Album | 1,140,998,400 | 02 27, 2006 |

] | My brother first introduced the song Breakin' to me cuz he said, "You have to hear this new band; the guy sounds just like Geddy Lee (from the best band ever Rush)." So I listened to it and I thought, "Gee, this is pretty rockin." I listened to clips on Amazon and then bought the cd. IT IS AMAZING. I can't believe the singer is only 19!! Think about all that potential if they're already coming out with CDs this good! They're like Tom Brady of the New England Patriots: So young and yet so amazing already.The drums are sick, often doing unique beats and signatures as well as off-beats that really add to the songs. The vocals are, needless to say, incredible: Insanely high and powerful as hell. The guitar sounds and riffs are driving and well-chosen. Most importantly, the songs themselves are unbelievable. Like most of the reviewers here have attested to - this CD lacks a bad track. You put the CD in the player and just let it spin all the way through.In addition to the similarities to Rush, there is obvious Zeppelin and Jane's Addiction as well. And personally, I hear a fairly good amount of U2 musically and in the lyrics of Bleed From Within.I just recently ordered their first CD and hopefully it'll come in the mail any day now.I can't wait to see The Music live on Feb. 17th in NYC. Gonna rock!! BUY THIS CD IF YOU LOVE GOOD, ROCKING MUSIC. YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT. | 5 | Incredible album | 1,107,388,800 | 02 3, 2005 |

] | First, I'll start by saying I am the biggest Rush fan. I have been since I was 8 years old. Over the years, I've always found it interesting when covers of Rush songs come out. This album definately outshines the previous Working Man Tribute album, which just copied the originals note for note. This album is different in that the songs arent just mimicing the originals note for note, but they add unique and, sometimes successful, additions or alterations. I really like this version of Different Strings with the spanish-style guitar solo and the harmonies in the chorus. Distant Early Warning is a little weak in that it just sounds like the original with an extra lead guitar wailing throughout. However, there are some cool guitar solos on the album and some of them really shine.For some reason, the vocals on almost every Rush cover song seem like they are sung by someone who just isn't really that good of a singer. Often the singer will sound as though he has a mediocre voice. I'm not sure if it's because no other voice besides Geddy Lee's can really successfully complement a Rush song, or if the singers just find it difficult to try to match up with Lee's voice. Despite this, I really like the somewhat poweful vocals on this version of Temples of Syrinx, and, as I said, Different Strings as well. It's cool stuff.Other songs that are done pretty well are Lakeside Park, Tom Sawyer, and Subdivisions.Anyhow, I highly recommend this album to every true Rush fan. To those who don't know about Rush but are interested, don't get this album; get the real thing!! | 4 | This album is interesting and worth listening to | 1,131,580,800 | 11 10, 2005 |

] | Live has always been one of my favorite bands; I love every single one of their albums. When they were young and came out with Mental Jewelry, it was obvious these guys were more than your average musicians. That album features lyrics, musicianship and, most of all, song-writing that was well beyond their years when they produced it (I think the band members werent even 20 years old yet). The rest of the albums were great as well, with Distance To Here probably being my personal favorite. But, it seems like their new stuff is too pop-driven: all the songs are 3-4 minutes long, they all follow the format A B A B C B, often slowing down one chorus before the climactic repetition of the ending choruses, and this becomes tedious after a while. It is clear that this trend actually began with Distance To Here, where the songs are kind of a hybrid between pop and rock; and then V, which is solid and raw, but still is more poppy than the previous album; and then Birds of Pray, which has great songs, but is just a drop less poppy than this new album. Why don't they write songs like Pillar of Davidson or T.B.D or even They Stood Up For Love anymore? It seems like they format all their new songs in a way that will be radio-friendly... well I got news for you, the radio these days sucks. If you're trying to make your songs sound radio-friendly, you are jeapordizing your integrity and originality.Anyways, on to the album: at first listen, I thought The River, Get Ready, Show, and Night of Nights were very good tracks, with Mystery being decent, and I thought tracks 5 - 11 all ran together and werent anything special. After listening to the album 4 or 5 times, it really grew on me. Each song became its own and stood out from one another and I learned to appreciate each one for its worth. Show is definitely my favorite on the album; it has the same power-rock feeling as the songs on Distance To Here, V, and Birds of Pray. Of the songs that I didnt like at first, Sophia is a really good song. Love Shines and Where Do We Go From Here are both really cool songs as well with sweet instrumentation. Home is just ok for me - I think the chorus would have sounded better if it was played in a minor key instead of major. Night of Nights is really unique in that it's the first song I ever heard where the verses have a fast tempo and the choruses slow down; it's kinda confusing at first, making you stop and think the CD may be damaged, but then you realize it's awesome and original.In short, this album is solid and listenable the whole way through, with a few tracks you may add to your "favorite Live songs" list, but it doesnt have the same power and longevity that all their previous albums have. If you like Live, get this album and support the band because it's a good album, but, in my opinion, Red Hot Chili Peppers' Stadium Arcadium is album of the year. | 4 | Good, solid album, but on a lower level than previous efforts. | 1,150,243,200 | 06 14, 2006 |

] | From a musician's standpoint, this double disc album has just about every single unoriginal chord progression out there. It's got Am F C G, Am C G F, C G Am F, C Dm F G, Am G F, and the list goes on. However, the songs are so catchy and the lyrics are so good that they completely overshadow the unoriginality of a large part of the chord progressions. Many songs have the laid-back feel of the songs Scar Tissue, The Zephyr Song, and Otherside, which I prefer over the funked out, super loud feel of songs like Give It Away etc. But if you're into their faster, more funky songs, don't let that dissuade you from getting this album; many songs do have the funky feel of RHCP's earlier days.Every song is melodic, listenable and enjoyable, and the RHCP really show off their use of the 3-way harmony throughout the album. All in all, this is a really awesome double disc album that is sure to produce numerous hits and win over new fans. With the amount of new material on this album, buyers are sure to get more than their money's worth. | 5 | Overused chord progressions, but catchy tunes! | 1,149,465,600 | 06 5, 2006 |

] | Like many reviewers here, I've been a HUGE Guster fan since their early days, and I waited so long to get this album. Sadly, I'm not all that pleased with it. The sound on this album seems to try to be very British-pop and uninspiring.... I'm not gonna complain about Brian's switch over from bongos to drums that occured a couple albums ago because that's old news, but with it, the original Guster sound which we all grew to love is in the past. Also, I love Joe in the band; he's an amazing musician and I was hoping his musical influence would affect this album in a great way, and I don't know how much of the song-writing he contributed to, but it's not as good as I'd hoped.Why do bands with two lead singers always have to consolidate into one lead singer? It's usually the record companies that force this to make the music more radio-friendly. Same thing happened with Vertical Horizon. I love Adam's voice, and I'm whole-heartedly disappointed that Adam sings lead on ONLY ONE TRACK. I love Ryan and all, but his voice does get a bit whiney when it's not balanced out by Adam's lower, fuller voice, so when you have an album of tracks almost entirely sung by Ryan's high nasal voice (and he does sing particularly high on this album), your ears start to ache a little....On to the tracks: At first, I loved Satellite, but after a number of listens, I realized it is very tedious and repetitive. Lightning Rod is just boring and a bizarre way to open up an album. Manifest Destiny and One-Man Wrecking Machine are decent songs, but way too poppy and radio-ish. The Captain is a pretty good song, touching on the same feel as Jesus On The Radio. The New Underground is a pretty cool song, having a real 80's punkish feel to it. Ruby Falls is trying to be the Come Downstairs & Say Hello of the album, but unlike Come Downstairs, it is very slow-moving and unmelodic. The tune of C'Mon sounds like it was designed to appeal to teenage girls, and I dont think it should be anything more than a B-side (and it drives me crazy how Ryan sings the word like "C'maawn" as if he's a New Yorker). Empire State is another slow-moving track. Dear Valentine is a good song, and the last two are OK....All in all, this album is VERY slow-moving and unexciting. I will continue to love Guster and I don't care that their sound is evolving, but I wish they would go back to the more exciting song-writing of the previous 4 albums... | 3 | Not the Guster we know | 1,151,712,000 | 07 1, 2006 |

] | To start out, I will admit that I am a bit biased. I think Rush is the greatest band ever by a long shot, and I love nearly every one of their songs. On to the review... I believe S&A; is their best album since Counterparts. Test for Echo was decent and Vapor Trails was really good, but this one is even better. The album is mixed and mastered wonderfully (which is a lot more than you could say for Vapor Trails), Geddy's voice sounds wonderful, there is more acoustic guitar than in previous albums, and, needless to say, the drums, guitar, and bass are exceptional. Oh yah, and the songwriting isn't too shabby either.1. Far Cry - Awesome, rocking single.2. Armor and Sword - My favorite on the album. Just great harmonies and an all-around superb song.3. Workin' Them Angels - Another awesome song. This one really gets stuck in your head. Has a Working Man feel to it.4. The Larger Bowl - Beautiful harmonies. This one is the most poppy on the album. Very nice song with a Presto-like chorus.5. Spindrift - This is my least favorite track on the album.6. Main Monkey Business - This instrumental ROCKS! Not much else to say.7. The Way The Wind Blows - Beautiful song. I love the bluesy intro that transforms flawlessly into Rush's classic sound.8. Hope - Beautiful acousticy instrumental. Short, but sweet.9. Faithless - The lyrical content is like Ghost of a Chance. Love this song. The verses have a Hold Your Fire feel to them.10. Bravest Face - Really good song with powerful choruses.11. Good News First - At first, I really wasn't into this one. But the bridge is so melodious and beautiful that it basically salvages the whole song. Also, the bridge and solo are reminiscent of Counterparts.12. Malignant Narcissism - Another rocking instrumental. This one borrows the old drums and bass comping that we loved so much in YYZ.13. We Hold On - Great ending track.So, as you can see, I am very pleased with this album. It surpassed my expectations. Can't wait to see Rush live in Boston in June!! If you are even somewhat of a Rush fan, you will really enjoy this album. Go buy it! | 5 | Review from a life-long Rush fan | 1,178,496,000 | 05 7, 2007 |

] | Ok, I admit that I am a huge GNR fan... But, at the same time, the negative reviews are agenda-driven and baseless. Every negative review always comments on all the time that has passed since their last album, all the members that have left, how it's not really "GNR" anymore, and how Axl is such a bastard. Anyways, those reviews are ridiculous because this album is awesome. Obviously not every song is incredible, but it's a great album as a whole. I'm very pleased with the direction Axl has taken and I can't wait for future albums with this sound. The songs are admittedly very processed sounding, but they are also written in the grandiose, powerful way we are so accustomed to hearing from Axl and GNR.Chinese Democracy - This is the opening track and is a good, but not great, rock song. It sounds like your classic GNR pumped-up, punch you in the face rocker, but it just doesn't have the same melodious flow as such classics as Welcome to the Jungle or Rocket Queen. 7/10Shackler's Revenge - This is another in your face rocker, but it almost sounds like three separate songs pieced together. The chorus follows the most overused chord progression in music history (AM-F-C-G), so I was a little disappointed about that... but it is very catchy (as most AM-F-C-G songs are), and I like the multiple vocals rocking out in the chorus. 8/10Better - Killer song. Great rock tune with a catchy as hell verse and awesome solo sections. This one will get stuck in your head for days. 10/10Street of Dreams - Awesome piano-driven tune that is reminiscent of Yesterdays. Axl delivers great vocals on this one and the ending is as powerful as it gets. 10/10If the World - This song features a cool drum sample, and a unique blend of spanish guitars and electric guitars. This song is cool, but I feel like it could have been slightly better. 8/10There Was a Time - Another awesome piano-driven track, with multiple parts and solo sections. The verses in this one are awesome and also reminiscent of UYI days. 9/10Catcher in the Rye - This song is very similar to There Was a Time, so I'm a bit surprised they put them back to back on the album. Again, awesome verses, decent choruses. I'm still trying to figure out which one I like more. 8/10Scraped - Another in your face rocker featuring all kinds of vocal styles from Axl. It's actually really cool because it's basically a duet between Axl's high-pitched scratchy vocals and his lower throaty vocals. Again, this one is a lot like Shackler's Revenge, but with a much less catchy chorus. 7/10Riad n' the Bedouins - Another rocker that just doesn't do it for me. Axl's vocals stay in the clear, high-pitched range and come off as piercing and unenjoyable. The song is the weakest on the album. 5/10Sorry - This song blew me away when I first heard it. As many have described (and very accurately in fact), it sounds like a mix between Pink Floyd and Black Sabbath. It is just so dark and gloomy and cool. Axl's vocals sound like nothing he's ever done before and the song is really powerful. Sebastian Bach does background vocals. 10/10I.R.S. - A rocking tune with Axl performing some killer vocal exercises. It could have stood to have a more varied construction, as it does come off as repetitive. 8/10Madagascar - I've heard the song for a while now since GNR has been playing it live for years. When I first heard it I was completely blown away. Another track that sounds nothing like old GNR. Axl's vocals on this song sound aged and, in my opinion, perfect. He puts on just the right amount of grit and delivers a flawless performance. 10/10This I Love - The most gorgeous ballad I've heard in years, and I'm not exaggerating. The song is exploding with emotion and it's perfectly made. 10/10Prostitute - A great ending to an awesome album. This song has the ups and downs, the highs and lows, and just really ends off the album on a kind of peaceful, yet lonely, way. 9/10 | 5 | Ignore the (agenda-driven) bad reviews! | 1,227,744,000 | 11 27, 2008 |

] | First of all, I want to note that I am a religious Orthodox Jew. I know that it's probably weird that I am a huge JOC fan, but I honestly think these guys create some of the most beautiful music out there. Ever since their 1995 self-entitled album, I have been a fan. Of course there are some albums that are better than others, but this one is right up there with the best of them. Some albums have lyrics that are more literal and some are more metaphorical. Obviously, as a Jew, I prefer the metaphorical lyrics since I can relate to them more as referencing God, as opposed to Jesus (since that's not my belief). This album is less explicit and more metaphorical.Second, I will note that I am a musician. JOC just knows how to make music. It's that simple. They know how to write tunes, lyrics, how to organize instrumentation, and how to create an actual song (something 98% of the bands out there nowadays cannot do). They know how to throw in flare and keep songs exciting, often building up songs to a grand finale.Now, on to the album. At first, only a few songs really stood out to me. But after about 5 listens through, I can honestly say this album is just great from start to finish, and better than Good Monsters. Of course there are a few songs that are still just ok to me (such as Forgive Me and There Might Be a Light). As a child of the 80's who's witnessed the great decline of musical integrity and songwriting over the past 2 decades, I am deeply pleased with this album's 80's-influence. The album has its fair share of excellent uptempo songs, like Weapons, Heaven, Closer, Don't Stop, Headphones and Heart. Hero really sounds like it could be from a movie soundtrack, and it displays Dan's excellent vocal range. Two Hands is a good radio pop tune. And of course no JOC album would be a JOC album if it didn't have the requisite gorgeous songs. This one's got Safe to Land, Boys, and The Scenic Route. However, Worlds Apart is still in my opinion their most beautiful song of all.To conclude, this album is excellent, but I think it's the kind that grows on you. Don't give up after one listen. Great job JOC. Keep up the good work. | 5 | This One Grows On You - Review From a Jew | 1,252,540,800 | 09 10, 2009 |

However, you would think a company like Petmate would be smart enough to make a cat-prof feeder, they are not. Our cats immediately learned that they could stick their paws up into the machine and get more food out! I believe that they are simply stealing from their next meal and not getting any extra food in the long run, but this encourages them to spend much of their time pawing at the feeder trying to get more food.

I love that I can seal it and toss it in my bag to go to work without having to think about spillage.Cons:The lid is a little hard to get off, if your hands are wet forget about it! There's just nothing to hold onto and since it has the rubber seals it sticks in place.I made the mistake of letting my toddlers play with my mug outside. They dropped it on the concrete scuffing the paint (no big deal) but also scuffing the lid, so now it's a bit rough in spots when I drink from it.Overall this is a great mug. | 4 | Great mug, just a couple minor issues | 1,384,819,200 | 11 19, 2013 |

] | We have a really bulky dinning room table, so it was difficult to find a hook on chair that would work. This one does the job beautifully. My twins are able to safely join us at the table in these chairs. Unfortunately the design makes clean up a pain. The whole chair is fabric, so food gets imbedded in all areas. My twins especially love turning their head to the side and leaning down to mouth the sides and back of the chair, while their mouths are full of course, gross! In order to clean the fabric portion you have to take the chair off the table and then pull the metal pieces off and out. I threw it in the washing machine on delicate (I think it said to hand wash, but who has time for that?) and then air dry, so it wasn't ready for the next meal. Putting the metal pieces back in all along the top edge was not easy, but it's do-able. It does fold up pretty small and has it's own little carry bag attached underneath, so you could potentially take it to restaurants or the houses of friends and family, though I think the booster seat we got is a bit easier for that sort of thing.It gets 4 stars because it fits our troublesome table, but if other chairs fit your table I might suggest checking them out first. | 4 | Good chair, hard to clean | 1,362,096,000 | 03 1, 2013 |

] | Too bad such a good idea had to be couched in such a smug, self-satisfied tone.Throughout the book, I had the distinct feeling that I was being patronized. The feeling that I was hearing, "Oh, you think you're so smart, but you're a loser as far as emotions and personality are concerned, and you're gonna have a miserable, pain-filled life." The impression I got was that high IQ goes hand-in-hand, even *causes* a lack of personal skills.That being said, I think Mr. Goleman has some good, long-overdue ideas. I have indeed felt my own life to be much more satisfying when I implemented some of his suggestions. It gives me a real sense of clarity when I attempt to tune in to other people's agendas... makes me feel as if I have much more personal power and control over my own choices, instead of working myself up into a tizzy over others' behavior towards me. Empathy--really giving of yourself emotionally-- enables me to have insight into others' lives and my own, as well as a quality of connection and sharing that I had never thought possible. I am a veterinary student, and just as with human patients, the most precious gift you really can give is your time and your listening ears... and it feels phenomenal to the listener as well as the speaker.Those who decry the "clueless", I think, are closer to the mark than Goleman himself is. Because it really is all about having a clue... knowing what to do, knowing what is going on, knowing how to act and what to be.I used to think I was one of maybe five people in the country who did not like this book, because everybody else seemed to treat it as gospel. Truly, not until recently did I find ANY kind of real criticism of it. From the beginning, though, it left a bad taste in my mouth. Yes, it did speak to me, at least partially... but the aforementioned smugness I felt from it, as well as other previously unvoiced doubts, told me it wasn't quite right.Too bad, also, that many of this book's critics tend to fall into arguments that only seem to bolster Goleman's cause. After all, those who disagree with the book must all be racist, immature, or just jealous of other's emotional and social ease, and therefore their opinions are less valid, right?Now for my other doubts: Quite simply, I have a problem with *how* people attempt to implement his ideas. How many of you have a friend who works for a corporation that regularly puts its employees through ridiculous, even humiliating, "team-building" and "morale-building" seminars? Such activities are unspokenly (sometimes spokenly) enforced under the threat of being deemed not a team player or having a bad attitude. I suppose bosses can now tell dissenters that they lack EQ and won't amount to much at work. Or, for that matter, in life; since EQ carries over to personal life and the very satisfaction with and enjoyment of it."The right attitude" in real life means agreement more often than most may think... agreeing with the boss, the crowd, or the prevailing opinion. Social competence seems to be defined primarily in terms of being agreeable, approachable and nonthreatening... primarily, of course, intended to be aimed at women, who, after all, are supposed to be more inherently nurturing and relationship-seeking.Persistence, determination, tenacity, boldness, passion, vivacity, vigor... nowhere does Goleman have a fraction of the praise for these qualities that he has for "social competence". Because these qualities just might put one into disagreement with others, and apparently if you are truly competent socially, you just don't disagree. Or if you do, it's in a "nonthreatening" way...We point to study after study showing how married people are healthier, wealthier and happier than single people, and that social isolation increases the risk of early illness and death. We make women in particular feel inadequate for not being "nurturing" enough, and people in general for not "getting along" well enough. And as for children displaying the aforementioned qualities in too high levels... we put them on Ritalin or Paxil.I did not feel personally more competent emotionally OR socially when I held back, trying to be "nonthreatening"... no, it was when I found my voice and agreed to disagree, when I decided to risk some negative perceptions from others. Call me funny, but I don't think that REAL emotional intelligence would stand for suffocating people under a mantle of "going along to get along". I wonder how many people hurt others simply by tarring them with a "does not get along" brush, and verbally or secretly invoking EQ?For advice I could really use on improving my social and emotional competence, I found Phil McGraw's books much more useful, especially "Life Strategies" and "Self Matters." To glean some spiritual insight, I could turn to Deepak Chopra. And from fanfiction writers, I learned some valuable lessons about creating realistic characters, painting emotionally rich and complex scenarios, respectful critiquing, and getting a proper critical distance on my personal needs, desires, fantasies and insecurities... lessons that, in applying to other dimensions of my life, have been unbelievably helpful.These sources were much more healing and useful than Goleman's advice ever was. And not once did I come away with a feeling of having my nose rubbed in it. | 2 | Good ideas twisted the wrong way, big time. | 1,025,740,800 | 07 4, 2002 |

That excitement was soon extreme disappointment when I tried to put batteries in it before I wrapped it up for Christmas. One of the screws on the battery case was nearly impossible to get out, then when we tried to put it back in it didn't close tightly. We even tried different screws from other toys and they all had the same problem. This is a major problem because if the dog is put in water (which is the novelty of this toy!) the battery case will leak and ruin the toy.

There are so many run-on sentences, spelling errors, and even more poorly constructed sentences that it makes any form of connecting with the actual content very difficult. Being that this author has written even one book, she no doubt has aspirations of becoming an author. I'm afraid, however, that without a couple of good courses on composition, grammar, English, etc. her dreams may be squashed. I understand that errors of this type may not be a "show-stopper" for some, but I am definitely one of those who can instantly get stuck on an error. Actually, I don't just get stuck, but also find myself reading on, only to discover I have no idea what I just read because I'm still thinking about that error! Do I have perfect grammar?

] | Viktor Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning is probably one of the most impacting books I have ever read. The first part of his story, about his times in the concentration camps, manages to wrench the heart while still steering away from actively striving to highlight the suffering Frankl witnessed daily. Rather, his matter-of-fact tone and reserved yet descriptive telling of his stories in the concentration camps only serve to heighten the sense the reader gets of the trials he endured. But the most poignant part of the novel wasn't, for me, his stories but rather his overall message: that our greatest trait, and our greatest means of freedom, is the freedom to control our attitude towards any situation, no matter how horrendous (and here is where his experience in the concentration camps really serve to emphasize his point as well as his suffering and the suffering of others).The second part of the book, logotherapy, appealed to me almost more than the first portion did. Logotherapy focuses primarily on the goal of finding meaning in one's life. Upon reading the definition I thought, skeptic that I am, that sure--this is a great goal, but perchance all hot air. It wasn't until I read the rest of Frankl's portion on logotherapy, read as he related it to problems across all fields, from dissatisfaction at work to a loss of faith in one's own capabilities, and it wasn't until I went back and related these techniques that I realized how revolutionary Frankl's theories are.Of course logotherapy doesn't work for everyone and of course everyone will not agree with it, but believer in logotherapy or psychology or not, it would be a grievous error not to peruse Viktor Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning. It is a book that will change the way you look at the world, whether you take the psychology into consideration or not. | 5 | Man's search for meaning: Enlightening | 1,330,992,000 | 03 6, 2012 |

I haven't read such bad writing since I struggled through the first 3 chapters of Twilight, which could have been written by a not-so-bright 14 year old girl. The writing is stunningly bad, the characters are so cliche its almost comical (a 21 yr old virginal waife with "eyes too big for her face" who doesn't own a computer??? Please), and don't get your hopes up for a plot - there isn't one. Even the sex is boring and cliche, not to mention stupidly improbable. And this is NOT a romance novel, there is no romance whatsoever!! The poor character development of Christian Grey leaves him as just a controlling, perverted, cold shell of a character. The author feels the need to convince the reader that he's sexy by repeating it ad nauseam. I'm sorry, but I'm just not buying it. There is nothing to him. The female character is even worse.I read a book last week in which the main characters are actually capable of performing real acts of magic, and those people were quite a bit more human and believable than any single character in this book.I am stunned by the positive reviews of this book, and can only draw the conclusion that the people who like this book either never read, or never read anything of quality. If you think the Twilight series was life-changing and you read them each 3 times, you will probably like this book. If you scan the Pulitzer Prize or Man Booker Prize lists for your next good read (like I do) skip this one!

] | I wish I had ordered this flat iron a long time ago! I had no idea what I was missing. I would rate it as "salon quality" - it is the best one I've ever owned. It comes with a beautiful travel bag and a very nice heat resistant glove, but I haven't had to use it because I've yet to burn myself while using it. My hair finally looks as straight and shiny as when my stylist does it. And it stays that way all day long, no matter what the weather. With my old straightener, my hair would already be frizzing and waving a little on humid days before I could even get out of the house. Not with this one! It still looks good when I wake up in the morning, too. I am very, very happy with this product and feel that its an excellent value for the money! | 5 | Salon Quality | 1,357,430,400 | 01 6, 2013 |

] | The only issues I've had are that it loses the satellite signal occasionally and the data reads that I'm running much, much slower or much much faster than I actually am! This does not happen often, and may be a location problem instead of a problem with the watch. The touch bezel put me on a learning curve at first, but I'm getting better at it. The weight and size are not a problem, I'm a 5'3 female. Its much better than the last Garmin I had, which required a shoe pod. I'm happy with it. | 4 | basically fine | 1,362,700,800 | 03 8, 2013 |

The tea was good, not nearly the same deep rich flavor as properly steeped tea, but fine if you want something in 30 seconds. .

The sole is a nice soft rubber which makes it comfortable to walk around in. Very good quality. | 4 | Perfect match | 1,363,737,600 | 03 20, 2013 |

] | Very nice quality, my son loves it. We have washed it multiple times, it holds up just fine. We originally ordered a youth XL for him which is what he normally wears because he is tall (over 5'3" and 98 lbs) but it swallowed him whole, so we had to return it and get a Large. The return process with amazon is easy, but for some reason the price had increased within a week.... However, the quality of this item is excellent. | 5 | Fits a little big | 1,363,737,600 | 03 20, 2013 |

] | This sleeve is much more comfortable to wear than the stiff foot brace things that pull your toes back, etc... However, I'm not sure how effective it would be with more severe plantar fasciitis. Mine is more at the "mild" stage right now, and I sleep in this brace at night. It does seem to help, and I will continue to wear it at night and during the day after a run. | 4 | decent | 1,365,465,600 | 04 9, 2013 |

] | We have the Christmas book by Sabuda which I love. In this book, some of the pages were very difficult to open. I had to try to pry them open with a butter knife not bed the pages. The pop ups are very detailed which also could cause sticking of the pages. The colors are also kind of dull to me. I bought this for a gift. If I were to do it again, I would go with the Christmas book. | 4 | Not sure if I would purchase again. | 1,387,584,000 | 12 21, 2013 |

] | This is just as described. A tiny version of the real book. It's hard cover easily hand held and seems to be sturdy. The picture quality is good but it's difficult to see the fine details. This is no fault of the book but just the nature of such a small book. There is a brief biography in the front but if you need reading glasses this may be difficult as the words are very small. It's a nice book for kids to look at and if you don't want to spend the money on the large version. It can easily be carried around, taken to bed to flip through. However, I think to see the true beauty of the work you may want to buy the large coffee table size. Overall, I'm happy with purchase. It is exactly as expected and explained in description. | 5 | Tiny Audubon book. | 1,362,528,000 | 03 6, 2013 |

They spent a lot of time reviewing it. For a young beginner, this is a must have. It's easy for children to read and follow. Nice fishing book to add to your collection. | 5 | Kids age 10 and 13 love this book. | 1,363,046,400 | 03 12, 2013 |

] | I read several reviews on this book "The care & keeping of you" and finally decided to purchase it for my daughter that will soon be nine. I was apprehensive and opened immediately when it arrived and started reading. It is very imformative and I think ideal for the pre-teen to early teen. Even though I'm a nurse, I didn't know how I was going to dive in to some of these topics (periods, body hair, breast development etc). I think this will be the perfect read, together with my daughter. It also has pictures that get the point across without being too graphic in nature or too childish. It also touches base on other topics...teasing, name calling, feelings of being different etc. Overall, I think it is a very good buy. | 5 | Just what I hoping for | 1,228,694,400 | 12 8, 2008 |

The only reason I didn't give it 5-stars is because one of the legs on the frog lure was broken but is barely noticable.

] | I'm very familiar with miniatures and the prices. This is a good value for the price. The items are made a little better then some. The colors are vibrante and they seem sturdy for miniatures. What I didn't like is the wheels do not really turn on the wagon or the stroller. The stroller also looks a bit strange. The toys in the toys box are not removable and the books do not open. With that said, overall I'm satisfied and have seen much more expensive minitures that are not as well made. For the amount of pieces it is a good buy. | 4 | Better then most for the price | 1,291,939,200 | 12 10, 2010 |
