] | Either you're going to love this movie or you're not. Movies based on books rarely live up to the satisfaction of the die hard fans. This movie is entertaining. I liked the choice of actors for the key roles. Because it is a movie, a great deal of the details that make the books great are obviously not going to be in this film. I advise watching this film for the pure joy of seeing your favorite characters coming to life on the silver screen. If you spend the whole time picking the film apart for what is left out, of course, you're not going to like it. I personally loved it. | 5 | Either you're going to love this movie or you're not | 1,405,036,800 | 07 11, 2014 |

I have used many commercial smith machines and while this one isn't quite up to those standards, it is a very good smith machine. Very sturdy and very smooth. I have had 400 lbs on it for squats and felt very safe. The only down side is when you unclip the bar from the slots, there is very little spave between the shaft that the bar rides up and down on and the upright. Sometimes the hook will hit as I get tired. Overall excellent product and I use hard and heavy!!!! | 5 | Excellent smith machine!!!!!!!!!!! | 1,340,064,000 | 06 19, 2012 |

] | I first bought this game thinking it was going to be somewhat close to pokemon stadium. I finally got it through the mail, set it up and turned it on. What i saw was a failed over hall on the idea. There's no rental pokemon, Elite four tower, or even a gameboy tower to put your hand held game on the big screen. You do get a single player story mode, which is kinda fun. but over all the stadium battle idea basic went out the door. This game tryed to put a shorter version of its hand held counter part on your gamecube. Its a neat idea i must say, but they seemed to have lefted it half finished. The story mode is basically you against an evil group of people. There is no wild pokemon to catch and you can only train your pokemon by battling the same trainers over and over. While I did enjoy play this game for a few hours. It did get repetitive. The game does give you a battle mode but you have to use your pokemon from ruby, sapphire, fire red, or leaf green, or your team from story mode. The game has pokemon from all past games but you can only use those four in this one. You cant trade poke from one to another like from ruby to fire red. You cant Play you gameboy games on your tv like in stadium. You only get to catch a small amount of pokemon in story mode. At the end of the day. Its a game that feels like it was halfway done, and was trying to do to many things at once. Its a fun game for your hardcore pokemon fans, but the lover of the game its a bad dream. | 2 | Looks good. Plays bad. | 1,260,662,400 | 12 13, 2009 |

] | I bought this game at a local store, but soon regreted my choice. The game its self is about 50/50 good and bad, but all those little things add up.1. If your in to multiplayer shooters this game will be up your ally. How ever if your like me and like some kind of story to guild you then beware. This game puts you in one area where you fight waves after way of monsters. thats the whole game.2. Lets talk about graphics. Normal I look at graphics last, cause a good game doesnt need a boat load of ah and oh in it. The graphics in this game isnt horrid unless you get up really close to a monster or a wall, or turn up the brightness all the way.3.features is important to. After every wave of monsters you get the chance to buy/restock on new guns and ammo. This is a good thing if your like me and use up all your ammo on the thousands of monsters trying to rip you apart.4. Multiplayer is where the game is at. Youll team up with a group of players and aim at surviving the monster hord and living to see another day.5. Stability: I ran this game on a win7 with 4gb of ram, 2.3 quad, and a 4650 radeon. The game has a habbit of freezing on start up, and crashing mid game. This could be fix able since i didnt bother messing with it.All and all this game isnt a bad game it just feels unfinished. The only real thing it has going for it in multiplayer and thats a little limited. Once you play the game through a few times you start getting that been there done that, where else can i go feeling.I sold the game at a gamestop a week later. I view is, for what it offers I can get a free to play FPS just as good off the web for free. Wolfteam being one. | 2 | Nothing here you should pay for. | 1,279,497,600 | 07 19, 2010 |

I love the fact that these books especially this one takes me out of my own personal reality and takes me to an adventurous mysterious hidden place of my own to just let my mind and body and soul drift away to an unforgettable hidden place to day dream and picture my own wonderland.I like how Zoey ALWAYS see 's the good even when evil tries to overcome the light. She always makes the right decision even when she gets doubt from her own group.The part that saddens me was Dragon being killed. He truly did still have lightness and good deep down inside even though we all knew it was still there he had to reveal it for himself.

] | An earlier reviewer talked of military cliches, and how everything seemed the same, that the writers couldn't imagine huge societal changes that will obviously have taken place by the time the 25th century arrives. That there will be changes is true, but it will be more along the lines of changes in the trappings of civilization. Over the millenia, since humankind has learned to fight in groups, very little has changed. Strategy, tactics, and technology has evolved of course, but one thing has remained constant. To succeed in war, a belligerant must take and hold ground. It's sometimes almost as valuable to deny ground to the enemy, but in the end it must be taken and held. Cavalry couldn't do it all, aircraft can't do it, tanks can't do it, and in the future whatever takes the place of these won't be able to do it, either. It has always been up to the ground-pounder, assisted by the other arms, sure, but only the ground-pounders can prevail in the end.This first book in what has become a highly entertaining series is remarkable in its devotion to the ground-pounder, and especially the ground-pounder who makes it all happen: the guys at the sharp end, both enlisted and non-commissioned officers.I highly recommend this saga, if you want realism at the small unit level. And if you're interested in what other Starfist fans are saying about the books of Sherman and Cragg, there's now a fan website available at [...] Discussion forums, news of future books, and you can also make contact with the authors who do participate from time to time. | 5 | Cliches -- more than a few, but... | 1,140,652,800 | 02 23, 2006 |

] | This is some of the best military science-fiction I have ever read, from guys who know their stuff, because they have been there. If you compare their stuff with Heinlein (one of my favorite authors), you will notice a better quality of realism as far as military matters are concerned, especially from the point of view of the ground-pounder. This is because Heinlein never served in combat (through no fault of his own).Some speakers of German might not like the use of German words in this book. I had a problem with it, as I do speak and read German. I couldn't help laughing at some of the names, and they can detract from the enjoyment to a certain extent, for a German speaker. The country of Arschland, for example, translates somewhat vulgarly since "Arsch" is, not to put too fine a point on it, the part of the anatomy that one sits on. I ended up busting up in laughter at Ambassador Misthaufen (manure pile). Other names, such as for vegetation, "grospalm" (big palm) and "hochbaum" (tall tree) are not genuine words in German, but on a planet with really big palm trees and very tall trees maybe the words might get invented: German is, after all, an agglutinative language. Here is a legitimate German word:"Donaudampfschifffahrtsgesellschaftskapitaen". Means "Danube Steamship Company Captain."Dave Sherman told me that they were deliberately playing with German words when they made up some of the character and place names, it was no mistake. I would have preferred it if they had confined their cleverness to the plot and action, but I didn't REALLY mind all that much.There is a lot of subtle (and not-so-subtle) political commentary in this book (and Starfist 1, as well), and the astute reader will pick it up and gain something from it. The superficial reader will see only the action. But that is OK, too.I highly recommend the entire series!

] | As a "hard" science fiction fan, I generally avoid fantasy. Sherman's Starfist series has really held my attention, however, and since I saw these DemonTech books on the shelves with Starfist, I thought I would give them a try. I thought that maybe Sherman could achieve the "difficult, if not impossible" task of interesting me in a fantasy series. My word! He did!Frangerian Marines Spinner and Haft are nearly taken prisoner when the Jokapcul (how do you pronounce that, anyway?) capture the port city in which their ship is berthed. They escape the city and flee away from the Jokapcul "onslaught" (thus, the title of the book). Sherman knows small-unit military tactics very well, and he shows these two marines in very believable and fascinating action as they progress towards hopefully returning to Frangeria. That's the military aspect of the action.Although I have not read a lot of fantasy, I have read a wide range of authors, so I know some of the "technology" of magic as imagined by the mainstream fantasy writers. However, David Sherman has come up with a completely new "technology" of magic. Magic in Sherman's world of DemonTech is based on numerous kinds of "demons" (creatures with magical properties and abilities), and these demons respond to food, curiosity, kindnesses, and cruelty (but if you use cruelty you better be careful of backlash!). A demon master (or Mage, in Sherman's world) is someone who has knowledge of how to handle them, and not everyone knows how to control all kinds of demons.The background of the DemonTech world is that in Frangeria, a mage has by use of demons summoned (or magically kidnapped) a U.S. Marine Corps Gunnery Sergeant. This "Lord Gunny" trains the Frangerian Marines. Meanwhile, another Mage, the erstwhile Black Prince has summoned a whole pile of U.S. Army Field Manuals, and using these and his expertise in demon handling, turns the Jokapcul Empire into a nearly unstoppable military force. Buy these books -- Lord Gunny Says! -- you will enjoy them! | 5 | Way to Begin! | 1,139,875,200 | 02 14, 2006 |

] | Some of the previous reviewers really got their knickers into a twist over this book. It's not the best Sherman & Cragg have put out, but it is a decent start for a new spinoff.I was not pleased to see good troops used for bad purposes, either, but it happens in the real world, too. It's most especially possible to use good troops for bad purposes if the troops and the missions are clandestine. That's why political oversight is such a good idea, in the real world.In this book the Force Recon unit is actually believable, if you are aware of the training and the capabilities of such units in real history. Although I would tend to think that Starfist Force Recon seems closer to SEAL or Delta Force in how it's being used, and how it seems to be trained. It also, unfortunately, seems to be well-versed in Spetsnaz tactics and techniques. Soviet Spetsnaz were trained to take lives and torture if necessary in order to fulfil their mission -- although borderline psychopaths, such as Bella Dawn, were weeded out of even Spetsnaz units.In a later book, it would be nice to see Force Recon find out how they had been misused in the case in the book, and then deal effectively and secretly with the jerks in the government who pulled the dirty stunts.I enjoyed this book, although I would have preferred it if the assassins had not succeeded.A couple of the previous reviewers had real problems with the strong woman types portrayed in the book. Mostly negatively. I have a book called "The Most Evil Women in History" and it is a hard read due to the horrible things some of these women did (ancient and modern) --- but Bella Dawn would not be the first woman to scare a grown man cold. | 4 | A Rocky Start, but... | 1,137,196,800 | 01 14, 2006 |

] | This latest entry into the Starfist canon is by far the best so far. Having read all of them (some of them more than once), I feel the entire series is well worth the reader's investment, but Double Jeopardy puts our favorite Confederation Marine platoon, Third Platoon of Company L, 34th Fleet Initial Strike Team, into a very tough spot, along with some very engaging and exciting action. I usually try to spread my reading of a new book out over a week or so, but I became so engrossed in the story that I finished the book the day after I got it. Excellent work, and I can't wait for the next installment. But a story this good takes some serious craftmanship, and the wait is always worth it.A major part of the story deals with the best intelligent extraterrestrial species to appear in the series thus far: the Fuzzies. Unexpectedly sophisticated and primitive at the same time, Sherman and Cragg leave one wanting to know more about these people, and hopefully future volumes will give us more!For the sake of some matters of story continuity, new readers of the Starfist series should normally start with book one and move forward, but this book should be quite accessible for someone who hasn't yet been there. | 5 | The Best Starfist Novel Thus Far | 1,262,563,200 | 01 4, 2010 |

I enjoy Twain as much as the next person, but he was a professional curmudgeon who had a stake in finding amusement in pretty much everything. This has almost no bearing on the state of "truthiness" of this book.Another reviewer claimed to have given up his Mormon heritage because he said "The claims made in the book have been disproved by anthropology, archeology, DNA science, linguistics and every other discipline used to study ancient world history." Interestingly enough no such disproofs have been presented. By anyone. Yes, various arguments against the Book of Mormon's historicity have been proposed, but there are sufficient counter-arguments in each of these fields that it should be clear to the open-minded that the case against the book is not proven by a long shot, and that there are many intriguing correlations with facts not known in Joseph Smith's time in archaelogy, linguistics and anthropology.

Firstly, because I loved both The Mote in God's Eye and The Gripping Hand, and here was yet another opportunity to explore that universe once again, and see what happened to my favorite characters. And secondly, because the author of this book, J.R. Pournelle, is the daughter of one of my most favorite sci-fi authors. I thought, she's got to be a chip off the old block.But no.I will admit right up front that I did not finish this book. I got exactly 33% of the way through it, to the end of chapter 6, and I gave up. I don't like to give up on books, but this one was going nowhere, and it was taking me to the same place. I am unsure how many different subplots were active at that point, but I think there may have been five or six. Or more, I don't know. I suppose that the author thought she was leading it all in a unified direction, but you know how the comic The Family Circle sometimes shows one of the children meandering all around the house, the yard, across the street and back again, with a dashed line that simply goes everywhere and ends up where it started? That's what this seemed like.Finally, does Pournelle have something against the Mormons? As a member of the LDS Church myself, I was appalled at what Pournelle describes as Mormons. I cheerfully admit that much of the world thinks we're odd, but since when did any Mormon offshoot come up with the notion of a father killing his daughter because a non-related male made casual physical contact with her, in a situation where hse has been injured and needs help? Pournelle seems to have back-country Islam confused with Mormonism.And in case I haven't made myself clear, I do not recommend this book. | 1 | A Very Poor Shadow of the Original Greats | 1,398,729,600 | 04 29, 2014 |

I think I could figure out what about 25% of the various tools were supposed to do. I needed a book to start with (the online tutorials from Microsoft were nice but too hard to follow) and I needed a book whose author started out assuming that the reader was a complete newby. When I saw that the author of this book had done two previous versions of the book for two previous versions of Blend I was hopeful that this would do the trick. The word "Foundation" in the title suggested strongly that here was a book that very basic. And the upshot of it all was, YES! The book assumes you know very little about the subject and takes you on a hand-held guided tour of the product. Victor Gaudioso makes sure you have an opportunity to work with pretty much every important tool in Blend.About 50 or 60 pages into it, I got confused about something very important, and wasn't sure what to do about it. I thought I recalled seeing the author's email address in the introductory material, so I checked and yes there it was. I sent an email complaining about what I thought was a problem with the book, or maybe my Blend installation. Assuming that here must be a "famous author" with no time for the common man, I wasn't sure what to expect, but dang if he didn't respond within an hour or so and offer to help me out! He even offered to give me a call to help clear up any misunderstandings I might have. Well, I took him up on it and we had a very pleasant chat about Silverlight, Blend, and so on. I wasn't the only one impressed by this eagerness to assist a reader: when I told my coworkers about it they were amazed, too.

He also provided very plausible reasons why little or no archaeological evidence exists for Israel in Egypt, and for the absence of the name of Moses in Egyptian monuments.Some might be put off or puzzled about the foreknowledge of the Messiah displayed by Moses in the novel. In fact, the Bible itself displays such foreknowledge and even says "Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets." (Amos 3:7) The fact is, the Israelites expected the Messiah, and knew at least something of his mission, and the Jews still do.

I knew this book was going to be part 1 or a multi-part story, so I was prepared for that. If you don't like cliffhangers, well, buy it now and wait for the other parts to be published before reading!Now, as to Issue in Doubt, I enjoyed this first book in the series very much! I guess I wish it had been a bit longer before the cliffhanger, but the place where he leaves it is at a moment of what seems at first to be a lull in the action, but suddenly you realize that it's the lull before the storm. AND IT IS GOING TO GET EVEN STORMIER.David knows how to tell a story, and if you are a military sci-fi nut, like me, then you are going to like this book series. David knows how to spin characters like he knows how to spin a story, but in this first outing in the series he does not waste much time on "getting to know you" with his characters. In fact, I was somewhat unsure which one of the many characters could be counted as the main ones. Some get more page-time than others, but... there is always a new set with each new fighting unit that shows up.I think that what David Sherman is saying, among other things, is that military operations are not at all one-man-shows. And not even ten-man-shows. Get to know characters who are going to die in short order -- because that's what happens in wartime. At some point I am sure we will settle down to some important points of view, but in the meantime, hold onto your seat, because the ride is going to get VERY bumpy. | 4 | A Great Story -- Characterization is a little thin, but who care? | 1,371,686,400 | 06 20, 2013 |

Sherman gives short shrift to characterization, as expected, but it finally occurred to me why this must be so in this series. I know Sherman can do effective characterization; I've seen him do it. But how can he do it here when he must bring us into the heads of so many characters? According to Wikipedia, the common narrative mode used in this story, called "Omniscient Narrator", or "third-person omniscient" is "presented by a narrator with an overarching point of view, seeing and knowing everything that happens within the world of the story, including what each of the characters is thinking and feeling." Shifting back and forth between many rather important characters it becomes quickly impossible to know any of them in any great depth. You learn who some of them are by how they react to events, and as for the rest? Well, not even Tolstoy enlivened ALL of his characters with backstories. Some are just there to do and die.And doing and dying is just what the Soldiers, Sailors, and Marines are all about on Troy. Their opponents, the Dusters, appear to be only semi-intelligent, and their combat modes appear to be quite limited to mass attacks. As another reviewer has mentioned, it seems strange that the Dusters could have prevailed against 17 other intelligent races using these limited ground attack modes. It may be that they are reliant upon superior numbers, and it may be that they are able to reproduce rather quickly. We have learned little about Duster civilization so far -- I'd say we've learned nothing -- and there may be more intelligent Duster classes, such as the ones running their spaceships. Their spaceships, after all, have been having greater success, proportionately against the human fleet than their ground combat troops. I expect that we will learn more about the Dusters in the 3rd volume. And I hope that Sherman finishes it soon! | 5 | Among the Best Mil-SF Available | 1,403,913,600 | 06 28, 2014 |

] | Our son (age 6) really enjoys mad libs. The mad libs junior provides a list of example words to use for filling in the story, which I think is a great idea to help younger kids learn the difference between nouns, adjectives, and verbs. However, I'm not pleased with some of the word choices provided. For example: "stupid", "dumb", "ugly", "dorky", "lame", "fart", etc. are in most of the word lists. We don't allow this type of language in our house and definitely don't want to encourage it. I doubt we will purchase any more mad libs junior booklets in the future. We'll just stick to the regular mad libs without example word lists. | 3 | Poor word list options | 1,360,108,800 | 02 6, 2013 |

] | I'm not understanding all of the negative reviews. I've had this hand-held mixer for over a year now and love it. I have yet to invest in one of the expensive stand mixers and use this hand-held mixer for everything. I've even used it to make fondant with the dough hooks. Of course it would be easier to use a stand mixer, but for what it is, this hand-held is great. | 5 | good mixer | 1,337,472,000 | 05 20, 2012 |

] | This kitchen was a gift for my daughter on her second birthday. After several months, she still plays with it almost daily. It does take many hours to assemble. So, definitely set aside some time to do so before starting. When going through the checklist of items before assembly, I discovered 3 parts that were slightly damaged. Two of the parts had chips in the paint, but after inspection, I realized it wouldn't be noticable after the kitchen was assembled. So, I didn't bother contacting Kidkraft about those two pieces. However, the oven door definitely needed replacing since it had a crack down the entire front of it. I will say that Kidkraft has fantastic coustomer service. After contacting them, I found out that this product has been discontinued for a couple of years. It was still possible for Kidkraft to get me the replacement part, but because of the discontinuation, they didn't have any in stock. I therefore waited almost 2 months before receiving the replacement part. | 4 | Cute kitchen | 1,337,472,000 | 05 20, 2012 |

] | I ordered the 48" width bookshelf in the cherry finish and am very pleased with my purchase. It matches our other cherry finish Louis Philppe style furniture in the room that we purchased years earlier. The bookshelf arrived in 2 large, very heavy, well packaged boxes. Each piece is either individually wrapped or layered between styrofoam - well protected for shipping. I opened the boxes in our garage to inspect each piece before assembly to make sure there wasn't any damage. I'm glad I did this in the garage, because the pieces were still degassing from the staining/manufacturing process. I had to leave it in the garage for a couple of days to allow it to degas some more. Even after allowing the bookshelf to degas in the garage for a couple days, it still gave off some chemical odors that were noticeable when you walked into the bedroom where the bookshelf was located. I wish I would have waited a few more days to let it continue degassing in the garage, but it wasn't too bad. I assembled the bookshelf by myself and it took a couple of hours. Make sure to assemble the bookshelf in the room, near where you are wanting it, because once assembled it is rather heavy. The instructions were straight forward and easy to follow. Every piece is labeled well. I didn't have any issues putting it together until I needed to screw on the back panels. Another set of hands would have helped tremendously for assembling the back panels. I managed by propping up the panels with some books to get the panels to the correct height for screwing them into back of the bookshelf. The bookshelf turned out to be a beautiful addition to our son's Louis Philippe bedroom collection. We've had it for over 8 months now it has held up well in our 4 year old's room. No issues whatsoever with the finish chipping. Great piece of furniture. | 5 | Beautiful and Sturdy Bookshelf | 1,321,833,600 | 11 21, 2011 |

] | These earrings arrived promply without any hassle. They are the perfect size and quite pretty. They are, however, not as red as the picture and are not a solid color. The ones I received have a marbled effect with various shades of pinks/reds (ranging from a dusty rose to a deep burgundy). This isn't surprising since red coral grows naturally from pale pink to deep red. | 5 | pretty coral earrings | 1,323,561,600 | 12 11, 2011 |

] | For the same reason others may not like it, I love it. The light only stays on if you keep the button pushed down. I find this to be a fantastic flashlight for my son for bedtime. My son has a nightlight in his room already, but this provides extra comfort for him. He can shine this light around his room before he falls asleep and I don't have to worry about it being left on all night. When the button's not pushed, the light is off. It's great. We've had it since Christmas 2010 and I've only changed the batteries once. | 5 | great for bedtime | 1,327,795,200 | 01 29, 2012 |

] | I purchased this guard with the intentions of the length measurement (15 inches) actually being correct, as stated in the technical details information for the product. The product's box clearly states that it's only 14 inches long. I didn't feel like dealing with the hassle of sending it back and am using it anyway. Since it was shorter than anticipated, it will not cover all of our Blu-ray player's buttons (one each on either side of the top of the device). So, I had to decide which was more important to cover, the "on/off" or "open" button. I really wish both buttons were protected. Other than that, this item works for our needs. | 3 | Inaccurate size measurement | 1,374,105,600 | 07 18, 2013 |

] | I was looking for something that didn't have a laundry list of ingredients and would work well to keep the body order in check. I also wanted something that didn't have a scent. I've tried many antiperspirants and deodorants, which all seem to just attempt to mask the body odor. I would wind up reapplying at least once throughout the day and sill was not satisfied with the products. I was a little skeptical trying out the salt bar. It did, however, make sense that the high salt content would kill the odor-causing bacteria. So, I thought I'd give it a try. I made sure to try it out on a hot summer day (over 100 degrees Fahrenheit) to make certain it was effective. The very first day I used the salt bar, I was constantly smelling my armpits to see if they smelled. I lasted ALL day without any odor issues. It was quite amazing and definitely sold me on the product. When I woke the next morning, I noticed that I had a slight body odor, but hardly anything at all. In 24 hours after applying the salt bar, I was nowhere near what I would smell like from antiperspirant use. The salt bar is amazing and I will never go back to typical antiperspirants/deodorants.Note: Definitely don't apply directly to your armpit (as others have also warned). On the first day of use, I showered and applied directly to my underarms very gently while they were still wet. OUCH!!! I wound up with multiple scratches that burned for about 15 minutes. Now, I apply by rubbing the bar onto a wet washcloth first and then use the washcloth on my underarms. This technique applies enough salt to the skin to be effective. | 5 | pleasantly surprised | 1,374,710,400 | 07 25, 2013 |

] | I ultimately purchased this bundle for the number of cases, in addition to the variety of colors, for the cost. It is well worth it. I am so happy with the decision to purchase these cases. The cases are a nice and snug fit. There are cut outs in the case for the plug jacks, speakers, camera, etc. The buttons for the volume, on/off, and camera on the right side of the phone are covered by the case, but it does not cause any issues with their frequent use. The thickness of the case is enough to protect the phone screen when the phone is placed face down, but is not too thick to make the phone feel bulky. With the case being silicone, it is definitely slip-proof, which makes it a little more difficult to get in and out of your pocket.I don't use the screen protectors that came with the bundle because they are a little on the small side. They are a touch too short on the length and definitely too narrow. I would have preferred the edges of the screen protectors to be covered by the silicone case. I'm not upset about this though. I made the purchase for the silicone cases, not the screen protectors or cleaning cloth. | 4 | Well worth it | 1,374,710,400 | 07 25, 2013 |

] | This course has been ideal for me. I am a busy professional. During the course of a typical work week, I do not have a lot of time to study a foreign language, so I decided to try a system that promised to teach me the language in my car! I started in September 2004.I decided to supplement my learning with a trip to a Guatemalan Spanish school in February of 2005. By that time, I was about 90% of the way through Learn Spanish in Your Car. After I took the entrance exam at the school in Guatemala, I was told (by both teachers and other students) that my level of proficiency was equivalent to approximately 6 to 8 weeks of full-time study with a private Spanish tutor! During the trip, I lived with a Spanish speaking family and had many other opportunities to talk to Guatemalans who spoke only Spanish. I was delighted to find that I could talk to most Spanish speaking people about most anything (travel, politics, work, family, etc.). On one occasion, for example, I went on a guided climb on Pacaya, one of Guatemala's many volcanoes. During the hike, I talked to the guide, who basically knew no English, for about 40 minutes. We had a great time talking about all kinds of stuff. He was eager to learn some English, so we taught each other our native languages. OK, I will admit that I made occasional use of my Franklin electronic dictionary (another product that I VERY STRONGLY recommend), but I was still delighted with my ability to speak Spanish after only a few months with this program.I do not really see any negatives with this product, but there are some limitations. You will cover most of the major tenses, and topics related to Spanish grammar, but you will find that the coverage of most topics is somewhat superficial. I don't call this a negative, because I don't really see how one can expect anything more with a ~50 dollar program at that is basically a "quick start." As a result, you will definitely not be fluent after you complete this course. I am already planning on moving on to a more in-depth (and costly) course in my effort to eventually become fluent (or, close to fluent).In summary, this is a great product, especially if you want a quick-start to Spanish at a very modest price, compared to the hundreds of dollars that you will pay for a more in-depth course. If you just want to be able to speak some Spanish, this course may be all you will need. If your goal is fluency, I still recommend this course as an economical and very effective introduction to speaking Spanish. | 5 | Great introduction | 1,110,499,200 | 03 11, 2005 |

] | Before I even knew Roy Stuart's name I was drawn to his photographs. Look through a magazine that has one his layouts in it and you know what I mean. Images so real they're magical. This book is a collection of some of his more daring photos, for those of you that think women should look like living Barbies you may be unhappy. If you love true beauty than this is for you. Roy was very smart by adding a DVD to the book for two reasons 1: It's wonderful 2: Now I need to send him a whole lot more money so I can get the rest of his Glimpse videos. If this is your first Stuart book, let me tell you to just order all four right now you will not regret it. | 5 | Absolutely the Best | 1,102,550,400 | 12 9, 2004 |
