] | Can you imagine watching a movie with someone that kept rewinding to a previous scene? Wouldn't this be especially annoying if the rewind happened at the exact moment you're holding your breath to see what happens next? Stop, rewind, stop, rewind. Well, that's a writing technique the author goes to FAR TOO OFTEN in this series. For example, a character will be in the middle of a very tense moment. You're reading wondering whether that character will make it out of this scenario alive when that character's perspective will end and the story will resume from the perspective of another character that's observing that scenario, but it will pick up several minutes prior to the scenario. So you have to read through all the buildup just to get to the moment of conflict from the perspective of another character before the author takes you back to the character you're interested in. Again, I wouldn't mind as much if this was done once in awhile, but it's done several times in just about every single book and it's done at the most tense of times. Second, it would be one thing if the each book was longer, but when you're getting 300 pages (barely) you kinda want to get as much of the story as possible, and not just rehash the last several moments from someone else's perspective ad nauseam. Thirdly, the subsequent books are going for 4.99 each, which is kinda on the pricey side when compared to other indie type books. To charge that much when each book is really really short only compounds my frustration at having to rehash something that just happened from another character's perspective.One last thing on the negative side of things, the author uses way too many unnecessary details. I don't need a blow by blow almost "matrix" style of description as to what one bullet did to its target. It was cool the first couple of times, but after awhile it just got to be really unnecessary. Simply summarizing where the bullet hit and whether the target goes down is good enough for me almost 99% of the time. On the same side of the too many details coin, the author will occassionally give us a flash back sequence to some point in the protagonist's past. And these flashbacks are usually pretty long. Not that they're boring, but I'd much rather get more of the main story than to be taken back to some arbitray point in time in an attempt to flesh out the character. Instead, I would have loved some more character interaction in the present. There's a certain point in the story where the iminent sense of danger takes a backseat for a bit, and it would have been cool to take that time to flesh out the characters. Lets see how one character's relationship with another is progressing, or a first person perspective chapter from a fringe character detailing how he/she views the protagonist or anything else would've been great imo.All that aside, I really enjoyed the books. Hard to tell at this point? Well, my complaints above really come from a place of wanting as much from the story as possible and, luckily, I got into these books when the first 7 were already available. If you're a fan of zombie apocalypse fiction, then you're like me in that you're always looking for the next best zombie-suspense fix. If someone asked me whether they should read this series, I'd probably tell that person to read DJ Molles' "The Remaining" series first, then Apocalypse Z by Manel Loureiro. The third series would be this.Cons: Too pricey for an indie author, Too pricey for a short story, play-rewind writing technique used far too often, too many uncessary details and too many flashbacks.Pros: Great story, great action, really tense moments and an interesting take on the longterm effects of being a "zombie."The first book is only 2.99. Give it a try. | 4 | Play, Rewind, Play, rewind, Play, Rewind | 1,379,376,000 | 09 17, 2013 |

] | As a big fan of zombie apocalypse fiction I'm constantly scrounging the kindle store for my next fix. I read "The Hospital," and enjoyed it a great deal, so I decided to buy the first book in the series.Moutain Man is the story of Augustus Berry, or Gus as his friends call him before the world went to bleep. Gus is a scavenger in post-apocalyptic Annapolis, Maryland and he is extremely fortunate to have found a home that is atop a mountain, fenced off on three sides with the rear of the home secured by a steep decline and....and this would be huge in the zombie apocalypse, the home is powered by solar panels. BTW, this isn't a spoiler as Gus has this place from the start of the book.Anyway, Gus' days are spent getting incredibly drunk, recovering and then going into town to find supplies (and more liquor) before the incoming winter. The author has a very slow and methodic writing style. There are several consecutive chapters in which nothing happens other than Gus getting drunk watching movies. This isn't boring per se, but if you're looking for a non-stop thrill ride you'd be better off with another book. Don't get me wrong, however; there are some intense and suspenseful moments. In fact, I found that the down time really hoped and only accentuated the parts where Gus was faced with near death encounters with the living dead.Gus himself is very much an "every man." He doesn't have any military, police, or martial arts training. He's not in the best of shape and he's not some sort of genius. He's just a regular guy trying to make it in this zombie infested world. I liked that approach but the author used it as a means to have Gus reference horror movies and action movies he'd seen and, for whatever reason, every time Gus would recall a horror movie and think about the tactics used by the protagonist in said movie it always broke the fourth wall for me. I suddenly became very aware I was reading a book which kinda defeats the purpose (at least for me) of reading. I want to get totally immersed in the world and when Gus is mentioning horror movies and what happened in those movies it always took me right out of the experience. Another weird thing was the heavy emphasis placed on finding toilet paper. Every time Gus found a roll of toilet paper he celebrated like he just found a fully stocked grocery store. This might not have bothered me so much had he not found what felt like 100 rolls of toilet paper throughout the book. It got to a point where I was laughing thinking how much toilet paper could one guy need.In closing, book one of "The Mountain Man" was a solid tale. I've already purchased the second installment so if you got the feeling I was completely down on the book, I'm not. I'm actually really excited to start book two. I wanted to give the book a solid 3.5 out of 5, but Amazon doesn't allow for that so I gave it a 3 out of five. Give it a shot. There are worse out there, but there is also much better out there as well. If you've already exhausted some of the really great zombie stories on Kindle, then I recommend you try "the Mountain Man." | 3 | Toilet Paper? Oh yeah! | 1,364,083,200 | 03 24, 2013 |

] | Dark Days is the second installment in the Apocalypse Z series, and it's sure to polarize some fans of the series, mainly because it's slightly different in tone than it's predecessor. The best way I could describe it is saying it's the "Aliens" of the series, with the first being more akin to "Alien." The first book featured some truly desolate and hold your breath moments as one man struggle to survive in a zombie filled world. This book is just as tense and nerve racking, but not for the same reasons. I don't want to spoil anything so I'll just assuage any fears that this book is so tonally different from the first by saying that by the time I got 70% through the book it had me and I had to finish it. I still hold this series up as being the second best indie zombie series out behind "The Remaining," even though this book was a bit more action-adventure in nature as opposed to the tense hold your breath moments that made up the first book. If you're a fan, you shouldn't even be reading this if you haven't purchased this yet. If you didn't enjoy book one then I doubt you'll find anything about this interesting as most of this book is spent tugging on the reader's heartstrings and fondness for certain characters.Worst part now is waiting for book three to get translated. | 5 | Different, but still just as good | 1,381,708,800 | 10 14, 2013 |

] | Wow. After the second book I didn't expect this. In the finale, the author took this series to an incredibly dark, macabre and violent place. There were times where I literally flipped the pages dreading what was to come. In many of these instances I was pleasantly surprised, and sometimes I was almost brought to tears. My one complaint is that I hate when authors have an idea for a big set-piece or plot point, but have no idea how to get there, so they make a character do something that no even remotely rational person in that character's shoes would do. That was done in this book and I actually said "oh c'mon" out loud when it happened (you'll know what I'm referring to when you get there). That complaint aside, it was still a thrilling journey and an incredible conclusion. Much like any good thing, I hated for it to end, but all good things must....well you know. Anyway, if you read the first two books and you're on the fence about this one (I don't know how that could be the case but to each their own), I can't recommend this enough. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. | 5 | An amazing end to an incredible trilogy | 1,401,580,800 | 06 1, 2014 |

] | The only downer was the very last chapter in the book. The motivations for what a certain character did and the rationale behind it felt like something out of a bad soap opera. Otherwise, this book was just as incredible as the other entries into the series and I am absolutely jealous of anyone who has yet to experience any of these books as of yet. If only AMC had hooked up with D.J. Molles instead of Kirkman; this is the post-apocolyptic "zombie" show that we deserved...and the best part is that the infected are not the typical zombies most shows/books use nowadays. The worst part about the book is the amount of cliffhangers we'll have to speculate on for the next several months until the next installment in the series comes out. I'm hoping that DJ doesn't go for a Darth Vadar Luke Skywalker Return of the Jedi type of thing in the next book, but it looks likes that's going to be the case.Again, so well done and easily five stars. Now I guess I'm back to refreshing Molles' facebook page in the hopes of getting info about the next book. | 5 | I can't believe how good this is | 1,373,932,800 | 07 16, 2013 |

] | and for that, I am grateful.I was hesitant to give Hellifax a chance. The previous two books had been okay, but I wasn't sure if I was ready to read a book focused on Scott, a rather bland and boring character in my opinion. The author alleviated that concern by splitting the focus of the book into three perspectives: Scott, Tenner and a third group. I won't give much away, except to say that subtitle on the book's cover is very descriptive of some the things that occur within this book.Scott's hunt for Tenner takes him to the town of Hallifax. Perhaps getting away from Gus, and working with such a blank slate in Scott allowed the author to do more than simply have the protagonist get wasted for chapters on end. The pacing in this book is so much better than the previous two. The final five or so chapters were absolute page turners and I'm glad I got to them at a point where I could take my time and read them all. The tension and atmospheric nature of this book are just incredible. There are certain zombie movie/book troupes that the author uses, but he describes the feelings and sights observed by the protagonist in such a way that even scenarios that I'd already seen done felt new and suspenseful. And the level of violence in this book is unreal. There was one scene in particular involving Tenner that I'll probably never forget.A great read. If you're reading the first or second book and you find it tedious or boring, you should give this book a chance. The story, characters and pacing are all incredibly better than the previous entries. | 5 | Glad I stuck with the series.... | 1,365,984,000 | 04 15, 2013 |

No longer does he go into excessive detail on every insignificant occurrence and he stopped retelling a part of the story from the perspective of several different characters. My only real complaint, and I'll remain spoiler free, is when a character does something so incredibly stupid as a plot device so something else can occur. The author did that in this book and I was almost shocked at the stupidity of what someone did. Actually feels like the next book might be the finale.

The movie starts with the trio interviewing locals before setting out into the woods in search of something. The rest of the movie depicts their struggles in the woods and the various supernatural activities that happen.There were a million things that could've been done to make this a better movie, but then it wouldn't be this movie....if you know what I mean.

] | Trying to lose some weight and start living a healthier lifestyle so I figured I'd start by flushing out my system. Read the reviews and product description which basically led me to believe that this product was subtle enough for me to take it every day. That was, however, not the case.First week: Began taking the product on a Friday and didn't see the results until Sunday. Sunday was not a good day. Yes I had more BMs during that day but it also felt like I had diarrhea. By that I mean there was a constant knot in my stomach and I really didn't want to risk leaving the house. Note that I never took more than 4 pills a day despite the label indicating I could go up to six pills a day. In no way am I saying that my results will be the same for you. After all, everyones' systems is different.Second week: The sensation of diarrhea didn't subside. I had to stop taking the pills because I can't afford to spend half the day at my bathroom at work. So I stopped taking the product Sunday-Thursday.I'm now in the third week or so and I do the following: I take two pills on Friday (one in the morning and one in the evening) and four pills on Saturday. I find this works better for me as I generally stay home on Sunday and I think cleaning out my system on a weekly basis is better than not doing so at all.All in all, I'd say purchase the product but don't begin use until you have a day or two set aside to test how it affects your body. This product may in fact do nothing more than give you diarrhea for a day, but here's hoping there's some sort of health benefit. | 3 | Not as easy on your system as advertised | 1,277,683,200 | 06 28, 2010 |

] | Grizzly man is a first-hand account spanning several expeditions in the wilds of a Alaska by a man named Timothy Treadwell. Treadwell is about as eccentric as anyone you'll ever see, real or fictional. After overcoming substance abuse due to some sort of mutual agreement reached between him and the bears of Alaska, Treadwell begins to develop weird feelings of kinship with the bears. He begins to see himself as the protector of the bears, and is so overcome with feelings of love and affection for the bears that he comes across as hysterical. The bears in this film often approach Treadwell, and in some cases threaten to charge, but Treadwell simply stands his ground simply telling the bears "no" and "don't you do that" much in the way a parent would correct a small child. This tactic worked for more than a decade, which probably only served to reinforce Treadwell's feeling of kinship with the bears. Speaking of which, Treadwell spoke to the bears in an almost baby-like voice. (the sorta voice people use when talking to their pets). When Treadwell did it, however, it was very unsettling. Perhaps because he was speaking to a creature capable of ripping him to shreds with minimal effort as if it were a poodle.The real tragedy of the story is two-fold. For one, I agree with one of the film's commentators that Treadwell did more harm than good in that he habitualized himself with the bears. The more familiar the bears became with him, the more inclined they would be to do the same with other humans, which is a scenario that will ultimately harm the bears more than anything. Second, it's incredibly sad that he would bring another person along with him during these expeditions. If you want to risk your life in order to fulfill some eccentric desire to be one with the bears, that's fine. But risking another person's life is despicable.All in all, the film was one of the better documentaries I've ever seen. Most of the film consists of footage shot by Treadwell himself, although we are occasionally given testimony from his friends and family about the man. If there's any lesson to be learned here it's that bears are wild animals incapable of possessing a kindred bond with humans. Again, a great documentary and a good way to spend a few hours if you're bored. | 5 | Inside the mind of a mad-man. | 1,337,040,000 | 05 15, 2012 |

BTW, I own a PSP 1001 (the original launch model)Pros: It arrived quickly.Cons: Screen protector doesn't cover the entire screen. Even if you managed to do a perfect application there would still be space on the sides.Had the usual two tab application process, but the tabs didn't pull the different layers off. Instead, the tabs came right off the layers and I had to use my nails to get the extra layer of film off.

Once the tabs came off I knew I wasn't going to like how it looked once I finished.As is, I have the screen protector on my PSP but it doesn't fit the screen and aforementioned probs with the tabs has resulted in some weird spots on the protector.Not sure if Sony made the newer PSPs with smaller screens, but if you own the launch model I'd look elsewhere. | 2 | Is it that hard to make a screen guard that fits? | 1,309,046,400 | 06 26, 2011 |

Having owned Iwork for almost the entire six months I can say that it's okay but it's just too different and basic. Too many extra steps required and to hard to re-learn how to do all the stuff I do in Word. Not to mention that when you save a file in word format it's usually distorted when you open it on a PC using word.Then I finally decided to give MS Office 08 for Mac a shot.

But after Sony announced the "Welcome Back" rewards program, and with me coincidentally having much more free time around the time of that program, I decided to pick up some PSP games. Only problem was I only had a 1gb memory stick (which wasn't enough to fit the two free PSP games I selected from the welcome back program), so I decided to buy a new memory stick.The price on this product was fair, but in light of the push for digital content on the PSP, I was a little surprised that the 16 and 8gb models were so expensive. If you're not sure if 4gb will be enough for you, I suppose you could rationalize the purchase of the 8 or 16gb models because the larger memory sticks don't seem to substantially depreciate in value. Probably because all the memory sticks are compatible with Sony cameras. So if you do make the splurge for the bigger memory sticks it's not like you won't be able to get a fair return on your money once you're finished gaming on the PSP.The product really couldn't be an easier to use. You simply pop it in your system and you're ready to start copying games to your PSP. Right now I have 3 games on my memory stick and I still have a significant amount of space remaining.Overall, it's worth the money. Do yourself a favor and spend the money to buy a real and officially licensed Sony memory stick from Amazon rather than buying this product off an auction site where you're likely to get a knock-off. | 5 | Just got back into PSP gaming | 1,308,700,800 | 06 22, 2011 |

] | and I was pleasantly surprised. FIrst of all, I'm a big fan of the Sopranos and here's why: It was one of the first shows I ever watched that portrayed the "bad guys" in shades of grey rather than characters capable of only evil. The dichotomy created by making the evil-doers on the show act like "regular people" capable of regular emotions and then allowing these same people to do what many of us would find unthinkable makes for some incredibly entertaining television. The Sons does this...and it does it well.Granted, it's not always stellar programming. I almost wish these kind of shows would be on HBO or Showtime because anytime there's a love scene it sorta breaks the fourth wall. I'm also not really a fan of Katy Segal's ability to see every major plot point on the show. For example, each show usually has two major plot lines: one focused on whatever caper the crew is up to and the other focused on some sort of internal drama affecting the crew. Well for the internal drama Katy Segal is usually right there to witness every crucial event and move the story along. Might not sound too bad but it gets really old after awhile. There were times where Katy, at an event of about 50 people, would just conveniently be at the right place at the right time to witness something. Or maybe an ancillary character is at a grocery and bounces a check and Katy just so happens to be at the same store. It's almost like the writers couldn't figure out a way to move the story along so they used her as a means to get the plot moving. She does an excellent job acting on the show (as does most of the cast btw), but by the 6th episode I just knew she would show up anytime there was something pertaining to the second plot line in an episode.But that aside, you're probably wondering what the show's about. Sons is focused on a biker gang based in a small town in California that operate out of a auto mechanic shop. The mechanic shop is the front and the real money is made via selling guns. There are rival crews, crooked cops, internal drama and all sorts of other things that occur along the way to make for interesting television. The main character seems to be Jax, who is the 30-year old second in command who's father was also in the Sons. Jax's mother is played by Peggy Bundy and the leader of the Sons, and Peggy's boyfriend on the show, is Ron Perlman (the guy with the most unique face ever).The stories are varied and, so far, incredibly innovative. As I mentioned before, it really makes for great television when the bad guys sometimes have a higher moral compass than the good guys and, conversely, the good guys behave in ways the bad guys never would. The key thing is that the show doesn't let you get too comfortable with the Sons. Anytime I found myself rooting for them I was quickly reminded how they are brutal criminals responsible for a variety of violent crimes.I'm six episodes in and so far the show has been great. The bikers all look the part (although I'm not too sure why the actor who plays Jax thinks walking like George Jefferson circa 1970 is a tough guy walk) and the angle is intriguing. In a world where everyone is content to copy what the other guys are doing it was cool to get something like this. If you're into crime-dramas and find biker gangs somewhat interesting then I strongly recommend this show...especially if you have Amazon Prime and | 5 | Finally sat down and gave the show a chance... | 1,340,668,800 | 06 26, 2012 |

] | 50's last two albums were really disappointing to me. I know the guy has all the talent in the world but he seemed more willing to make singles for the radios rather than good music for his fans. So when I bought "Before I self-destruct" without having read any reviews or heard more than one single, I was nervous to say the least. After about the third song I knew 50 had a hit on his hands. The songs for the radio are there, but those songs don't dominate the album. In fact, I'd say the vast majority of the album are bangers. Eminem reverts back to his old self (and not the nasally voice alter-ego that made that Rehab) and delivered some sick lines on Psycho. I think I may have heard Llyod doing the hook on one song, but other than the appearance by Em this is all 50. Great album and definite contender for hip-hop album of the year. I just hope we don't have to go through another "Curtis" and "Massacre" to get to an album like this from 50. | 5 | Finally he put out a good one | 1,258,761,600 | 11 21, 2009 |

] | Sucks. Really really sucks. This is why I didn't want to spend more than 5 bucks on a pair of earbuds. Better to buy something cheap and when it stops working, throw it out and buy another cheap set. I got to thinking, however, that maybe I should invest in something of a higher quality and stop making that trip to the dollar store to pick up headphones. So I bought these...and loved them. The sound is top notch. And I can blast my music without my neighbor on the train or bus being any the wiser as to what I'm listening. Sigh....then one day the left ear piece just stopped working. I wasn't doing anything out of the ordinary. Just standing on the bus when all of a sudden it just went out. I then looked at the reviews and, low and behold, I'm not the only one that's gone through this. So here I am...with these expensive buds...that don't really work. So now I have to deal with Monster directly to try and get a refurbed unit which is basically another broken set of headphones.I'd advise you to look elsewhere. Seems like there's some sort of build malfunction that causes this as, again, I'm not the only one.Edit: Okay, so i contacted Monster and they sent me what I believe are a brand new, and in a sealed box no less, set of headphones. I have them now for about a month and haven't had any issues since.Update 2: It's been about 16 months since I received these earbuds and I've been through about 4 sets. Each set breaks shortly after receiving it in some weird way. Either the sound will sound like you're listening through a tin can, one earbud will cut out or the volume will be really really low. I'm not doing anything other than listen to music on my phone, but I'm at my breaking point. Don't buy. Look elsewhere | 1 | 3 months in, left earpiece went out | 1,356,566,400 | 12 27, 2012 |

] | I picked up a Samsung 32 inch 1080p tv last year and the tv's only drawback was its subpar speakers. I finally got the money together to pick up a set of speakers to fix the problem and decide to get a shelf system rather than a surround sound system (who wants to deal with all the wires, right?). So I got this badboy and, I gotta say, my games and movies have never sounded so good. This system may actually have a little too much power as the bass can approach some crazy levels. If you're in a dorm room or live on top of people like I do then maybe you want to consider the 380 watt model. Seriously, I have yet to turn the volume up past 17 w/o fearing the police will come knocking.My only complaint is that the system lacks an input for the red and yellow RCA cables. An optical cable input may be unrealistic, but no RCA input was a bit of a surprise. What I did was pick up a headphone jack with the red yellow converter, connect an RCA cable from my tv to the converter, and the sound is just as good.Otherwise, the system's price, power, Ipod dock that charges my Ipod Touch while I play music, and the overall ease of use results in a very solid four out of five stars. | 4 | A gamer's best friend | 1,266,537,600 | 02 19, 2010 |

I figured this time I'd opt for what was practical for me as opposed to what was in style at the time. I did some searching and discovered this bag and was intrigued when I saw it could serve all of my needs. First off, there are compartments galore. Three separate areas, one main compartment, one flat compartment designed for your laptop, and a rear compartment that can hold some extra stuff. All three compartments are very long, with the main compartment being the biggest. The padding on the backpack is unreal. It really feels like having a pillow on your back. The side mesh pockets are great for holding a bottle of water or coffee container, and the Swiss Gear logo really adds a bit of style to the whole thing. Overall, I'm very pleased.

The following day I began to experience problems with the volume of my music. For some weird reason the volume would suddenly lower without me touching anything on the iphone or the Control Talk. Then I noticed the Control Talk stopped working altogether. I couldn't pause music or adjust the volume to music. I tried using it to talk on the phone but that didn't work either. I returned the headphones and purchased a pair w/o the Control Talk. I hope that pair works.

] | If we all didn't clamour for the multiplayer of these games, then this game would be a classic. The single player campaign is exceptional. Unfortunately, most of us buy these games to play the multiplayer...and there are problems galore.First off it's simply inexcusable that this game doesn't have dedicated servers. Too often a game will simply end because of connection problems. Other times a match is simply unplayable because of lag.Second, the hit detection just seems off. They've patched the game but it still feels highly inaccurate. I know I'll get "try not playing poorly" comments, but I'm telling you I've never wondered how I died when I got the drop on an opponent more than I have in this game. I hope you have a spare controller because you'll be on the verge of breaking one. Which leads me to my last point...The perks and killstreaks just feel unbalanced. In Modern Warfare 2 there was a counter for virtually every loadout or killstreak (save the obvious like the nuke). For example, if someone called in an AC130, you could simply select your character loadout with the cold blooded perk. That cold blooded perk is not in this game. This means that when someone gets the chopper gunner/pilot perk you relying on pure luck or bad skill on their part in order to get a chance at shooting the chopper down. This is flat out infuriating. Too often your character will spawn, get shot and killed, spawn again only to have the same thing happen. Granted, they got rid of the nuke. Unfortunately, they decided to make other modifications that negates any benefits derived therefrom.Overall, it's a good game. In no way am I trying to sound like the game is horrible. The problems, however, are just too blatant and obvious to ignore. And considering the pedigree of the series, I expected more from this game. Modern Warfare 2 offered customized killstreak loadouts, spec op missions (which are not in Black Ops), and a myriad of avatar and banner loadouts to select from. This game feels like a regression...which ultimately left me disappointed.I'd advise you to rent it or try it at a friend's house before purchasing...at least until the price drops to 39.99 or less. | 3 | A newfound appreciation for Modern Warfare 2 | 1,291,161,600 | 12 1, 2010 |

] | Resistance is perhaps the most polarizing title of this console generation. As someone who falls into the group of people that love the series, I was extremely impressed with the single player campaign and very unimpressed with the multiplayer.The Single Player Campaign:This is the best Resistance single player game of the series. The story is presented in a coherent manner. The mythos of the Resistance world has always intrigued me, yet I always felt like Insomniac failed to tell the Resistance story as well as they could have. Although there were moments where I wish Insomniac had done more in terms of fleshing out the story, in the end I was thoroughly impressed with the tale Insomniac told in what seems to be their final entry in the series. Sure there are elements of the plot that are handled somewhat clumsily, but that's true of almost any videogame. The moments that are done well, however, are done incredibly well. The story of Resistance centers around an alien invasion in the 50's, yet I never really felt the circumstances were as dire as the story told in the previous two games. That's not the case in Resistance 3. From the moment the game begins you'll feel how hopeless the chances of humanity's survival are. The new graphics engine really helped in this regard, as the lighting and the detail of the environment really immersed me into the world of Resistance in a way the previous 2 games never did. The combat is fun, but not all that challenging. The enemy AI runs ranges from average to horrible. Far too often I would enter an area in which enemy AI would simply stand still, not firing at me at all...and I was playing the game on hardcore difficulty.The Multiplayer CampaignFor most people, a solid multiplayer campaign is the difference between keeping a game and selling it. In regard to Resistance 3 I find myself in the latter category of gamers as I recently sold the game. It's not that the multiplayer is horrible; it's just that there is nothing that Resistance 3 did to make me what to play the multiplayer longterm. To sum up the multiplayer in a word, I would say it's okay. The stages, the weapons, the progression system...it's all just okay. Nothing is done so well that I found myself wanting to play the multiplayer to explore more of any particular aspect. In fact, the lag made the majority of matches very frustrating (which is surprising considering lag had never really been an issue with Resistance games). Moreover, the character models and the character animations look kinda silly in multiplayer. They all have this sort of stuttering type of movement that makes them all look somewhat goofy. The killstreaks provide the player with temporary weapons or abilities (such as cloaking or an assault shield), but none of them were really impressive enough to motivate me to want to get them. There are dropships and VTLs in the campaign so why not have a killstreak where a ship flies overhead and shoots the opposing players? Or why not have a killstreak where AI is dropped into the match to fight the oppossing team? It just felt like they could have done more in terms of scope or creativity with the killstreaks rather than simply allowing the player to use weapons like the Auger. Again, none of this is necessarily bad...but none of it was altogether impressive either.ConclusionI really enjoyed the campaign of Resistance 3. If this is the final game in the series I can leave it without feeling Insomniac failed to ever really tell a good Resistance story, despite the fact that the ending was so abrupt it left me feeling as if Insomniac just said "F it, lets get this thing over with." The multiplayer, unfortunately, doesn't do enough to distinguish itself which will probably result in many people re-selling the game shortly after completing the campaign.If you're a Resistance fan and you have the means, I'd recommend picking the game up just to experience the single player. If you're not a Resistance fan but you enjoy a good FPS campaign then you should also give the game a look for the same reason. If, however, you're a multiplayer only gamer then I'd advise you to spend your money elsewhere. | 3 | Great Campaign, Average Multiplayer | 1,316,217,600 | 09 17, 2011 |

] | You're thinking that for this kind of money you might as well go to Best Buy and pick up a case. While this is one of the pricier cases I've ever purchased for a phone, I gotta say that so far I think it was well worth it.Pros: The case doesn't detract from the beauty of the Evo. In fact, I would almost say that the phone looks all the cooler with this case...The rubber shell doesn't make the phone excessively bulky. If anything, having this case on the phone provides a better grip while holding the phone to your ear...I don't have the income to test how well the case protects the phone in the event of a drop, but I can say that the case seems sturdy enough to keep me from having to pay that crazy deductible for a new phone were my phone to ever slip out of my hands...Again, the case just looks great. It's got a sleek design and grooves designed to support your fingers.Cons: The rubber shell makes it hard to press some of the buttons. The power button in particular is difficult to press with the case on the phone...For this kind of money, I would have liked a belt clip of some sort. If not attached to the case then it could have been attachable. I know not many of us would wear this phone on our belt, but it would have been a nice option...On that same point, I think the case should include a screen protector. I already had one, but I think this product would be all the more attractive to a new Evo owner if it came with both the case and the screen protector.Overall, it was well worth the price and it allows me to fret just a little less over my new phone. | 4 | If you're like me... | 1,277,251,200 | 06 23, 2010 |

] | Okay, I have an iphone 4s and by the time I was eligible for an upgrade the iphone 5s was released. I, however, am not impressed by the iphone 5s and I decided to wait for the 6. Unfortunately, my iphone's battery was basically 5 hours if I only listened to music or had it off. The moment I used the web for a prolonged period of time or watched a video I was down to maybe 3 hours. Now, the iphone 6 isn't going to release for a few more months but I couldn't take having a cellphone I had to constantly have connected to a source of power. So I bought this.The good:It does what I wanted. I get about 8-10 hours of battery life from the case (that does not include the 3 hours I get from the phone once that case loses power). If you're wondering how the case works, think of it as an extra battery. It comes with a mini usb cable that you use to charge the case and the phone. You can use this cable to sync the iphone to your computer. Once the case runs out of juice, the phone runs off of it's internal battery. When fully charged and disconnected from a power source, the battery indicator on the phone will be green and indicate that the phone is charging (the little lightening bolt symbol). Once the case dies, the phone looks how it normally looks when not connected to a power source. Also, the case doesn't feel cheap. In addition to providing extra battery power, it also provides protection from falls. Also, you can check how much juice is left in the case by pressing the silver button on the back of the phone. There are four led indicators on the back of the phone which represent, in 25% increments, how much power is left in the case.The badThe case is going to add a significant amount of bulk to your phone. Not so much that it won't fit in your pocket, but enough that it won't feel anything like it does w/o the case. Also, if you use a headphone that has a 90 degree (L shaped) headphone jack, the extra molding the case provides prevents the headphone from fully entering the headphone port on your phone.Overall, I'm happy with the purchase. Hopefully the resell market is strong when the 6 comes out so I can recoup some of the money I spent on this. | 4 | Just what I needed... | 1,397,865,600 | 04 19, 2014 |

] | I thought my running days were over. I was training to pass a PT test for a government position and after my run I felt an immense amount of pain in my left leg in an area I would come to know as my patella tendon area. I rested for weeks, months and even a year but the pain did not subside. I threw out my old running shoes, replaced them with top of the line Asics and still I couldn't run. I had MRI's, X-rays and physical therapy, but nothing helped. I started taking Ibuprofen just to numb the pain, but still nothing worked long term. Eventually, I decided to try a patella brace and start fast walking. After all, you have to get some cardio in if you want to avoid becoming a fat body. So I start off walking and then I say eff it, let me see if I can lightly jog. Long story short, I'm back to running and I can't believe it. I'm upset that I can't run as far as I used to (still getting back to where I was physically), but I will get there now.Only drawback is the fit. This thing is incredibly tight. I bought the large size and I'm 6'1 and about 220. Now, it fights but I'm not sure if it's supposed to be as tight as it is. Don't get me wrong, it's not cutting off the circulation or leaving marks once I take it off, but I would say if you want an idea of how tight it is then imagine the point of it suffocating your leg and back it up just a bit. Maybe it just needs to be worn in a little more. Anyway, I can't recommend this enough. Great product. | 5 | I can run again... | 1,398,124,800 | 04 22, 2014 |

It wasn't a bad movie by any stretch, but it fell short of what it could have been. The story centers around a young widowed lawyer who goes to some distant town in Britain to search for a last will and testament of a client of his firm. Problem is that the house in which the papers lie is haunted by a ghost that kills a young child every time it's seen. Let's stop right there: What? Every time the ghost is seen it kills a kid? How does the ghost determine what age is young enough to be a kid? Is a 16-year-old sufficient or does it have to be a pre-teen? I dunno, the whole must kill a kid angle was kinda lame imo. But whatever, the lawyer goes to the house and realizes that the house is an island when the tide comes in as the only road to it is covered in water during those times. Cool premise and it could made for some really scary stuff during the times he was stuck there. As is, the director opted for suspense over scares as almost nothing really happens until the end, and even then nothing really happens. It's not a bad movie, but I was hoping they would go for just a haunted house that someone is trapped in rather than what they did. Still, not a bad flick. Final scene was definitely unnerving, which made up for the horrible ending. | 3 | A decent attempt | 1,348,358,400 | 09 23, 2012 |

] | I want to preface this review by stating that this is my first pair of "high-end" headphones. Prior to this I was using the regular ipod headphones that almost everyone in the world has. Take that for what it's worth.Okay, so I decided that I should treat myself to a luxury set of headphones as I frequently ride public transportation and am tired of hearing all the craziness associated with riding the NYC buses and trains. So I did the trendy thing and purchased a pair of beats. Yeah, I know there are probably comparable headphones for a fraction of the price, but, and for reasons similar to why I'm a MacBook Pro user, I opted for style and trendiness. So I did some empirical research and saw that almost no one has the silver Studio version of Beats. This is probably because Best Buy is selling that version for 349.99. Anyway, I ordered off of Amazon and after some delays in shipping, I finally recieved the product.What I loved:The sound clarity, bass, highs, lows, and all that other stuff just sounds so effing good. I've played everything from Paul and Oates, Journey, Jay-Z and Kanye, to Sade and everything sounds just so crisp and crystal clear. Sound aside, these headphones will really stand out. You can't help but be noticed. Now I'm not sure if owning a pair of ostentatious headphones is your thing, but you'll definitely turn heads, especially from other Beats owners. Again, the silvers are not that common and tend to stand out. When I first put the headphones on, I knew I was in for something special. The headphones are designed to have a suction effect over your ear. Even without music playing you'll notice how diminished your hearing capacity is after simply putting the headphones on. When you actually play a song it's unreal. The only way I can describe it is to say you are actually immersed within the song. You'll hear notes and chords you hadn't heard before. Sometimes I find myself singing out loud to my favorite songs because I can't hear anything but the music. It's like being at your own personal concert starring your favorite artist.What I'm okay with:The build quality of the device was a source of concern prior to purchase. I went to Best Buy and played around with the headphones at their Beats center, but I really didn't get an accurate idea of what these headphones would be. I was under the impression that the silver Studios were made of metal. I was wrong. They are plastic just like the other Beats. Now, that's not as bad as you may think, but these things are not indestructible by any means. Put it this way, if you were wearing them and for whatever reason lost your footing and fell to the ground, you would probably have a pair of broken headphones. That said, the build quality is not a deal breaker. It would be nice if the headphones were in fact made of something a little bit more durable than plastic, but if you're an adult and careful with your equipment then you'll be just fine. Pro-tip: Take the carry case with you. Better to store the headphones in the case than to have them loose in a backpack or purse.As for the noise cancellation, well you won't be able to hear most of what's going on in the outside world when wearing these headphones and playing your song of choice at even intermediate volume levels. But the outside world will be able to hear what you're listening to. I guess this isn't much of a big deal, but if you think you can crank these up while not annoying your neighbor on a plane trip or on a bus, you're mistaken. Not such a big deal, but worth stating nonetheless.What I'm not really liking:Batteries? Bleeping batteries? C'mon now. And not even double A batteries; effing triple A batteries?!? Who thought this was a good idea? I'm not sure why exactly batteries were a necessity on this. Perhaps it's so there could be a mute button on the side of the headphones, or perhaps it's so the headphones can sound extra clear, but I would have settled for a slight decrease in quality or a loss of the mute feature if it meant no batteries. What makes matters worse is that there is an switch on the side of the headphones so that you can slide the headphones from "on" into "off." The problem is that I'm not used to doing this with headphones and it's really easy to leave the headphones in the on position, thereby burning up your batteries. It would be nice if the headphones shut off when the cord to the audio device disconnected, but that's not the case. You're going to have to get into the habit of turning your headphones off with some sort of regularity. It's no biggie as I've already ordered rechargeable AAA batteries, but it's still a negative imo.Conclusion:I'm in love with these bad boys. I'm actually debating buying the solos so that I can keep these at home for my own personal use. Lets face it, if these were ever stolen or lost replacing them would be a pain. And with the build not being of a quality that drops are not a concern, I'd rather keep these on my desk than in my backpack. If it weren't for the batteries being required, I'd give them a perfect five. Again, you can probably find a comparable pair of headphones in terms of price or style, but if you have the money and want to get the Beats Studios, I say go for it. And heck, if you decide you don't want them you can always resell them for about what you paid as the silver Studios are a limited edition of sorts. | 4 | A must-have for any music enthusiast | 1,328,745,600 | 02 9, 2012 |

I own a PS4 and PS3, so I already have access to the majority of the apps. However, the ESPN app was unavailable to me because I guess MS is paying to keep that app off Sony consoles. Me being a sports fan, I had to have ESPN. So I purhcased an Apple TV.What I loveThe design. This box is tiny. It takes up no space. Set up was very simple and easy. Understand to activate ESPN and HBOGo you're going to need go on their websites and enter a code. The picture is great and the airplay feature is kinda cool.What I'm not so in love withThe remote. It's friggin small and begging to fall into the couch vortex.What I'm disappointed with:Airplay. There are a few apps that aren't available on apple tv that are available on my ipad and I was really hoping I could mirror what's on my ipad to my tv (like watching the TNT app on my tv). Unfortunately, you can't do this for whatever reason. You can mirror photos, music, games, etc...but not certain entertainment apps.Overall, I'm happy. I got what I wanted. ESPN!!!! And I'm sure the other stuff will be useful as well. Great product. | 5 | I guess this is goodbye forever, cable companies | 1,398,211,200 | 04 23, 2014 |

] | I could've had 20 of these things and probably wouldn't have gotten one of these on without my iPad being covered in air bubbles. I tried to smooth out the bubbles, and I even waited a day for the bubbles to clear out on their on but it didn't matter. I bought my iPad at a retail store and was advised against online screen protectors because they're cheap and detract from the look of the tablet. Well, I thought that was just salesman talk to get me to buy that product but I'm starting to reconsider. I don't think I'll be buying another screen protector online...or maybe at all. Honestly, if you keep the ipad in a case with the screen covered you're probably good anyway. Save your money and pass. | 1 | A waste of money | 1,366,675,200 | 04 23, 2013 |

] | Imagine being a "survivor" in the zombie apocalypse. You're in need of certain medical supplies and all the drug stores have been picked clean. You know of a large hospital within driving distance, but you don't know what, or who, lies therein. You decide to take a chance, put on your gear and head out to the hospital. As you stand outside the hospital doors you listen closely, stare instensely and generally summon any 6th sense available in the hopes of hearing, seeing or detecting something within. The coast looks clear. You push open the doors and head inside.This is the premise of "The Hospital," and it's incredibly thrilling. I love zombie apocalypse fiction because I enjoy thinking about what I'd do in these situations and whether I'd have the guts to brave the unknown to potentially find supplies. After all, how many of us could navigate a large hospital, with many sections completely in the dark mind you, to find a specific item? It's also enjoyable to learn of various everyday items that could become invaluable in world where zombies feed upon the living. For instance, the protagonist in this wears a motorcycle helmet which seems incredibly smart and is something I might not have thought of using were I in that world.But back to the review, I won't say whether the protagonist finds anything (or anyone) as I don't want to spoil the story. I will say that upon completing "The Hospital" I immediately purchased the first book of the Mountain Man series. I strongly recommend this prolouge to any even remotely interested in the genre or in zombie fiction. I can't wait to see what occurs over the course of a full length novel as there was plenty within this entry. | 4 | Very atmospheric and suspenseful | 1,363,737,600 | 03 20, 2013 |

] | Patrice is probably my all time favorite comic. He's quick witted and interacts with the audience prior to doing any "jokes" (I put that in quotation marks because he's not really telling jokes so much as analyzing how people behave). Sure he'll sprinkle in the occasional punch line, but really he's just dissecting people and what we do...and it's hilarious. I really like that Patrice is not mean when he talks to the audience. He can give it back to a heckler or a drunk, but he's not the type to just flat out insult someone in the crowd. I would say he's a zen master of relationships, and it's a shame he never wrote the book Opie constantly urged him to write. He was truly one of a kind, and I frequently find myself wondering what Patrice's take would be on current events. Do yourself a favor and buy his stuff. The money helps his family.

] | Gotta be upfront, I thought the ipad was ridiculous when it was first announced. It seemed like a giant iphone and a quick way for Apple to once again cash in. Boy was I wrong.It's been less than a week since I got my iPad and I can't imagine being without it. What prompted the purchase was the need to efficiently and quickly take notes for my job that I could later transform into a memo. It does that. I then rediscovered my love for comics with my subscription to the marvel app. HBO Go makes being away from home and catching up on some of my favorite shows a regular thing. Heck, I don't have a tv in my bedroom but I can now watch live cable tv via an app and the experience is great. I could go on and on. The kindle app, youtube, amazon prime...the list goes on and on, and its only been one week. I love the thing and couldn't recommend it more. | 5 | A complete game changer | 1,366,588,800 | 04 22, 2013 |

] | I live in an apartment building and was in the market for a set of headphones that were wired, had a mic and was compatiable with PS3 and PS4. I purchased these and I've been really fond of them since.ProsSound: Really solid sound output. The bass really hits and you can almost feel the headphones vibrating every time you squeeze the trigger in a shooter. In-game dialouge comes through nice and clear as well.Compatiability: If you're a multi console owner you can't do much better than these. PS3, 360, PS4, PC, iphone etc etc.Length of cord: Again, wired was important to me because the last pair of wireless headphones I had suffered from the sound cutting in and out, probably because of all the wifi routers in my building. This cord gives me the consistent and clear sound that I desired, yet I don't have to sit right in front of my tv to enjoy it.Mic: No need to yell to be heard. I come through crystal clear on these and even when I don't necessarily speak with the intention of being heard by others, the mic still picks me up.Options: You can simply slide a knob to set the microphone on or off.Chat control: I love being able to set my mic in headphone volumes (meaning whether I hear myself talkinging in the headphones and the ability to adjust the volume of other players talking.Build quality: These don't feel filmsy or cheap. I stepped on them once and they're fine.ConsNo optical support without using some sort of RCA cable adapter. I currently have the headphones hooked up to my TV as the PS4 is not compatiable with composite or RCA cables.No way to really lock your sound settings in place. There is a rectangular device on the wire running from the headphones that allows you to adjust the bass, treble, mic volumes, chat volumes etc but it does so via a sliding nub. This would probably skyrocket the cost of the headphones, but I would really love being able to set my preferred settings and not lose them because the nub is moved by accident.Other than that, I can't complain. If you have the means you can probably do better in terms of features and sound quality, but for this price and the amount of systems you can use this with, you're definetely getting a whole lot of bang for your buck. Would have been a five star purchase if it was optical compatiable. | 4 | Almost perfect | 1,388,102,400 | 12 27, 2013 |

] | I've owned this tv for about a year now and if I could turn back time I can 100% say I would not have purchased this tv if I knew then what I know now.Lets start with the design of the tv. It's sleek and looks a lot like a computer monitor, but there's only one button on the tv itself. This button acts as a power off power on, and also allows for input changing if it's pressed as opposed to being held. The problem, no channel control and no volume control on the tv itself. None. So you're reliant on the remote for those features. But what happens when the remote runs out of battery power or simply breaks? Well, you're stuck. Oh sure you'll be able to turn the tv on and off, or change inputs, but you can't change channels, access the smart-tv apps or control the volume. No big deal right as most of us will simply use a cable remote or some other universal remote. So my remote's been broken for some time, and I've been using a universal remote. I have my TV connected to the wifi in my home and this morning I turned on the television and saw a screen telling me to hold two specific buttons on the vizio remote. The problem is my vizio remote broke some time ago. So what am I to do? I contacted customer service explained to them my remote wasn't working, but they insisted I perform a myriad of steps to verify this. After ten minutes, they finally believed me and told me they'd send me a new remote. In the interim, I'm stuck with no tv :(.On to other things. The 240hz is definitely unnecessary and I find it to actually make most things look worse. Even after going into the menus and turning the smooth motion effect off, I still see a weird glimmering sort of wavy type of lines around the outline of people....especially in moments where there's a lot of camera movement in whatever you're watching.The speakers are subpar but that's true of most HD tvs. The 3d is actually decent, but how often are you going to use 3D?Bottom line, if you're looking for a "smart" tv you can do better..even at the reduced price of a vizio. Seriously, just buy an HD tv with no more than say 120hz and pick up something like an Amazon Fire or Apple TV for all the apps. Oh, and if you do buy this tv keep the remote somewhere safe. You don't want to find yourself in my position, waiting for a new remote to arrive. | 2 | Serious Design Flaws | 1,376,870,400 | 08 19, 2013 |

] | So I live in the NYC area and I got tired of paying an absurd amount of money just to watch tv. I got rid of cable and for a long time I was simply using the free HD channels you can get when you plug your coaxial cable into your tv. Unfortunately, TWC scrambled their signals so I could no longer get free tv that way, and thus I was in the market for an antenna. I called TWC and inquired as to how much it would be the part to "unscramble" the basic channels. I was told that it was 30.00 extra. 30 bleeping dollars a month just to get the local channels. Of course it immediately went into an up-sell pitch about packaging my plan with something else and a phone and blah blah blah...I hate the cable companies. So I did some research, found this product and decided to give it a try. For 30 bucks you can't beat it.Edit: Okay, I've owned the antenna for a month or so now and could only receive 2/3 of the local channels. I did some research and I found a website (search home antenna dot org) that showed me which direction to place an indoor antenna to pick up the most local channels. Again, I live in NYC so for me it was North West. I used the compass app on my iphone, found NW, positioned my antenna and voila...I now get all the local channels. Before I could only get CBS, NBC, Fox and My9. Now I get ABC and Pix11 along with ION and some other channels I'll never watch. Seriously, in I get over 60 channels (a good number of which are in HD), but most of the channels are foreign language channels (e.g. Korea, Spanish, Chinese, etc). But anyway, having all the local channels is great because of all the sports games. So happy with this product. Between this, apple tv and my PS4 I have all the tv options I need. All I miss are the nature channels, but for the price you can't beat this. Minus one star for not having a more in-depth pamphlet on setting up the satellite. Otherwise, worth every penny. In fact, I changed my mind. Five stars.Tip Before you commit to a spot and affix the antenna to a wall, do the research and found out which direction you should have it facing. HD free TV!!!!!! Bleep the cable companies! | 5 | So long TWC, hello free HD tv | 1,396,828,800 | 04 7, 2014 |

It is an actual Canon product and very well constructed. The cleaning kit is a very basic model but it should do the job. The hood is a made in China generic, not a Canon, but for the hood I don't think it really matters.I haven't used anything yet, and I will update this review when I do.All in all I think you can get the extra stuff (bag, hood, cleaning kit) and the lens for the same price as just the lens on other sites.

And even if you are a beginner, this book still won't be helpful because this book is from 1993. Its completely outdated now. I was completely disappointed by this book. There are many complex elements to writing a screenplay that this book doesn't even address. If you write a screenplay in 21 days, good for you. But I can guarantee its not going to be one you can sell or even get people in the industry to read. If your goal is to write screenplays for fun, this is for you. If you want to have even a chance at actually having a movie made, there are other books that actually cover what you need to know. I'm sure it was a fine book back in '93 but its not worth buying now. If they had posted the year of publication next to the title (like they usually do) I wouldn't have bought this to begin with.

Both were located in in the same general area of the state. The areas were not very suitable for the thousands of people in these camps. The Japanese proved to be very resourceful and survived the hardships of being interned. They actually improved the lands on which they were forced to remain.

And even in the midst of failure and down at the lowest depths of existance -- in poverty, prison, illness -- the sensation of a stable harmony will never him."Sages and philosphers are sometimes made in the prison: but I am sure the author was gifted at birth with the ability to communicate poignanty to people his experiences, and illuminate them from darkness, and kindle a sensation of harmony in them. | 5 | Prison and harmony ?...! | 958,867,200 | 05 21, 2000 |

] | In short, this CD is amazing for most US customers simply because none of these songs have been heard over here before, and most of them aren't terrible songs. However, for European customers, you will have heard almost all of these songs before (maybe different mixes - these mix choices aren't that good), and there's really no reason to get it. The mixing is nothing special, and there are quite a few terrible songs...which is very unfortunate, having heard many many MANY good things come from Ferry Corsten.For any trance-loving American, get it. For any trance-loving European...get some Global Underground.Quick note: For any Ferry Corsten lovers who were disappointed by this and want to feel better about him, go get his Live Mix at Trance Energy - it's amazing ;-) | 3 | Good for the USA...not so good for Europe | 980,467,200 | 01 26, 2001 |

] | At the outset, let's just say that Andrew Jackson hadn't been one of my favorite figures in 19th Century American history. I'd known about Webster and Hayne, and Jackson's ultimatum to South Carolina, of course; but I hadn't realized that South Carolina was actively arming for rebellion in that Winter of 1832-33--nor that Jackson recognized that Nullification of the Tariff was just a pretext: "and the next pretext will be the negro slavery question." (page 247) What was crucially different from the Winter of 1860-61, of course, was the fact that the rest of the South, during Jackson's Presidency, let South Carolina go it alone. But Jackson's recognition of the REAL issue at question--and this from a Tennessee slaveholder, as well as the first President NOT from either Virginia or Massachusetts!--was arguably more astute than Lincoln's, as he "No Commented" his way through his months as President-elect. In any event, I found myself unexpectedly drawn to Jackson--aided, of course, by Meacham's engaging style of writing, backed by solid, primary-source research. I'd recommend this book highly. | 5 | The First President Who Saved the Union | 1,260,403,200 | 12 10, 2009 |

] | I heard about this book via a columnist who used it as an example of a difference of emphasis among religious denominations/sects. After looking at the table of content I have to agree with him. Less than 20% of the recommended verses are from the Gospels, and most of those are from a couple of chapters in John. I have a master's degree in pastoral ministry and I have learned that people would rather memorize/quote from Paul or the Old Testament than the Gospels. I find this enormously sad, especially among those who proudly claim to be "Christians" based on 'sola scriptura'. I have to conclude, along with many others, that the Gospel message is just too uncomfortable for many. Don't buy this book, read the Gospels starting with Matthew 25 and all of Luke, then you might have a glimmering of what Christianity is supposed to be. | 2 | Seriously lacking... | 1,386,201,600 | 12 5, 2013 |

HAving read and loved an earlier novel, Venus Envy and just adoring the love story in that novel, I was rather disappointed by the one in this book. I enjoyed the rest of the plot but found the love story rather wanting. It seemed to be to be rather crude and I could not see why these characters liked each other apart from the sex, that was all the relationship was about, no romance in it as far as I could see. I did not feel the characters were developed well enough, the growth of them as people was lacking and also disappointing. I would be happier to go and back and read Venus Envy once again. | 2 | Not Louise Bagshawe's Best | 1,008,288,000 | 12 14, 2001 |
