oh man, i'm watching this guy on the daily show right now... he is a total idiot. & stewart is lambasting him. i mean, this guy is maybe one tenth as intelligent as stewart... it is so painfully obvious. and why would you want to read a book by a guy 10% as intelligent as a comedian? i dunno. i guess to the hannity readers though.. this might be at their level. file it in the children's section at your local bookstore. although i gotta say, if this is your reading level.. you may just wanna check out the new harry potter. it is tons better, and it's arguments are better formed.

I love this guide and use it all the time. It's truly an invaluable resource for finding the great CDs in jazz... especially for someone like me. I don't know many people who share my love for jazz. So finding out which CDs to buy is a chore... I trust the Penguin Guide to help me buy wisely when adding to my collection. ...

laura bush dealt pot... deal with it. thats probably why she always has that crazy looking joker smile on her face. plus of course, she ran over a guy who may or may not have been her boyfriend. hmmm, i know if i run over someone, ignoring a stop sign, i'd probably get in some trouble for it. laura seems to have done just fine though... ain't privilege grand?as for bush... he's an alcoholic (i'd say former, but anyone who knows an alky will agree, it is a lifetime condition), a vietnam dodger, and hard drug user. and oh yeah... hes the president too.its hard to say whether 100% of these allegations are true. but regardless, i give them a far better shot of being true than anything you'll read by the swiftboat vets. in the swiftboat case there is clear bias, dislike of kerry due to his anti-nam stand. here, there is just reporting... w/ creditable accusers.

amazing stuff. this book is pushed by right wing book clubs and right wing radio, published by the right wing book companies that are funded by right wing think tanks, which in turned are funded by right wing fanatics like richard mellon scaithe. it truly is a vast right wing conspiracy!!! there is no other way to analyze this. what else would you call a large group of well funded fanatics that have a clear goal to discredit someone using information that is not accepted as factual? lets face it, the claims that hillary is a lesbian, that chelsea was conceived throgh rape, that the clintons kill people, etc, these are not considered to be factual claims by the broad majority of our society.to all of you who blindly hate democrats. i ask you to stop frothing at the mouth for a moment and realize that democrats are your friends, your neighbors, and more than 50% of the reason that america is such a great country. (the history of this country, consists of having more registered dems than repubs, as there is even now) so stop the blind hate. if you don't like hillary, dont vote for her. but contributing to obvious smear campaigns like this should be beneath all americans.

DH drones on & on about his political flip flop... in which he was a liberal well into what I would call adulthood. DH then essentially 'sees the light' and blames his past politics on his parents. Sounds very mature... it is someone else's fault, not mine... my parents are worthy of zero respect even though they loved and raised me... and somehow it is OK for me to alter my political views from time to time, while it isn't acceptable for others. Didn't the entire right wing elect a president back in 2000 based on the idea that changing one's political views made you a horrible flip flopper? I guess if your audience is ready to buy it... you can sell them any sort of nonsensical drivel...

this book has had quite an affect on the political landscape here in the good old US of A. for proof of that, look all the spirited reviews here... you know whenever you see this many 1 & 5 star reviews that it is a heated issue.so i'm here to pile on my 5 star vote. clarke is a hero. the fact that he apologized to the victioms of 911 and was the first US Gov official to do such a thing is amazing. it is truly a testament to the arrogance and unaccountability of the bush regime. typical behavior for a president that lies every year in his state of the union address and blames others when called on it.clarke, a life long republican and appointee of reagan the union buster, is certainly not out for political or personal gain. he, & the numerous others who have stepped forward to expose bush & co over the last year or so, are simply americans who have had enough.as for the book... its an easy read. clarke has enough stories to keep the going lively. do yourself a favor, pick up copy or check it out of your library...

the right wing hate machine strike again.kerry's record makes bush's occasional national guard duty look terrible, so it's no surprise that this attack was going to come. i thought the right would've done a better job though, this one is pretty sloppy. do yourselves a favor and research the people behind this book before you give them your money.john o'neil is a longtime partisan hack. his history w/ kerry goes back to when he was chosen by nixon for the single purpose of taking on the antiwar kerry. official administration documents read "let's destroy this young demagogue before he becomes another Ralph Nader." you can actually go to the c-span website and watch a debate between kerry and o'neill on the dick cavett show from '71. you can clearly see o'neill hatred for kerry there... it's clear he is incapable of writing an unbiased book.co-author corsi is just as bad. check out his posting on the free republic website under the name jrlc. his comments on literally too vulgar & hateful for me to repeat here... amazon would never allow it. check it out though. (mediamatters.org has an article on corsi quotes as well)and then there is the swiftboat rep merrie spaeth. her resume involves the 2000 smear campaign against John McCain and the Max Cleland smear in 2002. obviously a woman with a great deal of respect for our veterans...even john mccain said of the swiftboaters, "i deplore this kind of politics. i think the ad is dishonest and dishonorable."not to mention that all of the living members from both of kerry's swiftboat's support him.i could go on and on... the swiftboat vets and their campaign are a joke. if they have issues with kerry's antiwar stance, thats fine. go ahead and scream your heads off about how hawkish you all are. but these sort of political tactics are a disgrace. this is an intentional & organized smear campaign against kerry, meant to manipulate the american people. it is the o'neill, corsi, spaeth and their companions who are the real traitors. this sort of politics should have no place in america.

you'll notice a huge influx of one star reviews right around the the third week of septemeber, when hugo chavez gave this book it's second life by holding it up at the UN. this should show you two things. one, just how scared the far right is of chomsky. and two, just how ridiculously on message the right is. unfortunately that message is attack attack attack for anything threatening to it's own position. truth is, this is a tremendous book. chomsky is a rare intellect, both insightful and readable. the right doesn't want you to read this book... hence the organized attack against it. do yourself a favor though & pick it up. the ideas in this book are timely and important.

i've been a strong opponent of homework for many years, ever since the day i almost had a nervous breakdown in 2nd grade when i had failed to complete an "important assignment." now as a parent of a second grade student of my own, i realize more than ever that homework is clearly detrimental in numerous ways to both our youth and our families.this book lays out a solid groundwork of arguments against homework. if your new to the debate or on the pro homework side, you'll likely learn a great deal from this book.

I think I own all of the Chomsky lectures available on CD, and this is by far my favorite. Something about the topic or perhaps the audience he is speaking to results in this lecture being very easy to listen to. Noam starts his discussion off with some basics and cogently builds a tremendously infomative story of labor, public relations/propaganda, control of the masses, government in practice and theory, etc. Even though I've owned this CD for years, I am still learning from it. Truly bottled genius. This is Chomsky seeing the world clearly, and sharing his insight compellingly. If you happen to be new to Chomsky, this is a great place to start.

I biked the TransAmerica trail last summer and I used this book for pre-trip planning and as a guide while on the road. The vast majority of the route Ikenberry takes is along a trail that was first ridden in 1976 and was designed by Adventure Cycling. If you just need maps of the roads to take, you'll be much better served by getting them from Adventure Cycling. If you want to use this book as a companion to the maps, you should realize that this book was written for westbounders. If you are riding from west to east (like i did) get ready to learn what dyslexia feels like as you try to decipher all the directions backwards.The book is thin on trip planning info and simply points readers to other sources for info on bike touring. In general, most of this book merely describes points of reference along the TranAm trail (ie: mile 1 - You'll pass a convienence store on the left; mile 2.3 - You'll see a lake with picnic benches to the right). I felt that it lacked a real focus (sometimes it reads like a diary, sometimes it reads like a guidebook, etc) & was full of superfluous fluff (the state flower of virginia is blah blah, a family in kansas fed me cake, etc) that only made my saddlebags that much heavier.Overall though, it's not my objective to dissuade you from buying this book... as unbelievably it seems to be the only guide written about riding the TransAm trail. Ikenberry's book certainly has some usefullness - perhaps mostly so in providing info on places to sleep along the way. But even then, she fails to mentions whether these places have showers or food on numerous occasions. It's worth the 15 bucks... but the book could (& should) have been so much better... (for example: there is no mention anywhere of suggestions on what kind of bike to use, gearings, tires - nothing even remotely technical)

This book is a joke. Anyone who follows cycling knows why, no need to explain it. I do however look forward to Floyd's next book, which I hear has a tentative working title of 'How I Channeled My Hate and Anger by Destroying Cycling, Threatening Victims of Child Abuse, Hacking Websites, and Demoralizing Cancer Patients.' Should be a good read... I hope Floyd makes a few bucks, to heck with everyone else.

The book is fairly comprehensive, but truthfully, I use my Oracle Admin Guide more than I use 'Essentials.' In my opinion, the Admin Guide covers all the same stuff, is better organized and is actually written in a more readable/less dry manner. There's nothing wrong with 'Essentials,' but in retrospect I wouldn't buy it again. There's nothing new, and it's a bit of a yawner. I realize this is yawn material to begin with, but I'd still prefer more personality in the writing. Give the Admin Guide a shot, not all delivered docs are trash... just most of it.

regardless of your political leanings, this book is well worth reading. we all owe it to the memory of those who died on 9/11, and to those who continue to die in it's aftermath, to research as much as we can into this massively important historical event. and research is the key word here. griffin lays out a sound analysis, based on logical thinking and factual data. this book does not offer all the answers to what happened on 9/11, but it questions the official story. you will likely question that story yourself after reading this book. from there, you may research further, and begin forming your own opinions on this terrible day. those that perished would thank you if they could for not just taking the word of fox news, the new york times, or any similar grouping of media sources.also of note, this is not an overly intellectual read, but instead is highly accessible. don't be discouraged (as a friend of mine initially was) if political and analytical books are not your typical fare. give this book a shot, you will be wiser for your efforts.

I read a lot of cycling books, and most of the time I'm pretty disappointed by them. They are generally one or more of the following: poorly written, boring, egotistical, or in the doping era gossipy or overly speculative. However this book cuts through all the crap and give you one thing, the inner thoughts of a racing cyclist. If you race, or have even just spent a lot of time in the saddle, this book will ring true and resonate with you. I've heard it said that 'cycling is boring only if you are.' Kind of a harsh point, but I take it to mean that a thinking person who rides has all sorts of entertaining thoughts running through their head when they get out on the road. Whereas others might just be... bored. Well Krabbe's Rider is the type of cyclist who thinks. And if you do too, you'll likely get a kick out of his free flowing thoughts. Most are related to the race at hand, other though are just tidbits of cycling insight. Some thoughts are even a little strange, but hey, who hasn't had a weird thought from time to time while riding? I rode across America a few years ago and one day I got the song 'Ten Little Indians' stuck in my head for like half of Kansas. Damn near drove me nuts... but my point is when your riding all day, you think of all sorts of stuff. But don't be misled, the vast majority of this book is about a bike race, a real race at that. I've learned things from this book that I took away and still value today. An example of which is the line: "cycling is about licking your opponent's plate clean before you start your own meal." If you race, you no doubt will understand the brutal truth there.

if you have to read this, make sure you read some actual chomsky first. that is of course if your legitimately interested in learning whether chomsky's theories are worthy of consideration. i think you'll find chomsky to be straightforward, nonpartisan, thought provoking, and painfully well backed up w/ documentation and fact. the knocks on chomsky presented here are the same old attacks, all of which are refuted by reality. simply put, don't believe all you read or hear, especially when the topic is a personal attack such as this.

There may be a good story in Joe Parkin somewhere, but it is hard to tell after reading this book. The level of writing is sadly just not up to snuff. Due to this, the story suffers and drags along from one race to another. It was a struggle to get through this, a story that just never picks up any speed and ultimately goes nowhere. If your looking for a good book on cycling, I have read many of them and highly recommend 'The Rider' by Krabbe. I suggest you take a pass on this one and go ride your bike with the saved time.

This is a great movie made by a man who simply cares about his neighbors and fellow Americans. I recommend watching this movie to both liberals and conservatives. If you have a heart and a brain, you'll see that Moore's work is a brave attempt at helping this country.I will never understand those on the right who call Moore a socialist and an America hater. Calling Moore anti American is simply asinine. And I strongly suspect that at least 90% of those accusers have never even seen this movie. (if you have seen it, the only other excuse for thinking Moore is unAmerican is that you are pure evil and have a breathtakingly low IQ)If your on the fence about Moore or just curious... this is the movie to watch. It's Moore at his best.

This finely crafted piece of art from Texas is one of the most treasured CDs in my collection. I've owned it for years now, and it still finds it's way back into my CD player time and time again. In my opinion it's the best Gourds CD out there... slightly edging out demsgoodbeeble. Truly an alt country classic... music for the well read and unwashed... do yourself a favor and pick this bad boy up.

there are some complaints here about the quality of the recording... well, it's a lecture for crying out loud. this isn't a live recording of music where recording quality complaints would be very reasonable. is the quality good enough to hear mr. chomsky? certainly. in fact, the recording sounds like what you'd expect to hear if you attended a lecture. so it's not a soundboard recording... big deal. as for the actual content of the cd, this is chomsky at his eye opening best. it helps to have a good base in chomsky theories & recent american history, as not all is explained in detail. but overall the lecture is very accessible. surely there is something here to get anyone with an open mind thinking about capitalism & the US role in the world.

these guys from berks county, pa just keep getting better with every cd. darren schlappich has evolved into one of the top songwriters in the alt-country scene - bar none. try to disregard the the inevitable comparison's to bands like son volt, tupelo, etc. while it's true that if you enjoy these more known roots rock bands you'll enjoy frog holler, this band definitely has it's own sound going on. anyone who calls frog holler a 'son volt tribute' (like someone did in the reviews for holler's previous cd - adams hotel road) just isn't listening hard enough - and they've certainly never had the chance to see frog holler play live. these guys are all about having a good time, almost 'gourds like' in their ability to put on a lively performance that gets the crowd rockin' out, drankin' yuengling, and singing along. there's not a bad tune on the new cd. the lyrics run from heartbreaking to comical. the moods swing from soft solo acoustic to full band complete with horn section and raucously shouted background vocals. if you need to hear a comparison - well, there's elements of the gourds, early rolling stones, townes van zandt, and yes... son volt. 'idiots' is a good trip. do yerself a favor and pick up a copy. that way you'll be able to say 'i knew frog holler back when...', and you can start comparing the next wave of alt country bands to them.

the gourds are one of my all time favorite bands. that said... this is my least favorite cd by them. it's a 4 star release awash in a sea of 5 star efforts. and surprisingly enough... i'd say the songs by the 3rd most prolific sonegwriter in the band,(and alt country legend) max johnston, are the best tunes.if your new to the band, try picking up stadium blitzer or beeble. also... if you've never seen these guys play live, buy a bottle of jack, drink it, forget all your worries, and go have a great time seeing them play. not just a great band... but great guys too. viva de gourds!

In the last few days we've seen the announcement that neocon ideologue Paul Wolfowitz has been nominated to head the World Bank. To many people, organizations like the World Bank and the IMF remain somewhat of a mystery, although understanding these organizations is very important. While I hardly claim to be an expert on these groups, I do have a solid understanding of their operations, and the arguments for and against them.This movie, Life and Debt, gives an easily comprehensible, real world example of what happens when these large monied world organizations step in. You also get to hear the analysis of those responsible for, and those affected by the policies. All in all, this is a highly entertaining while also educational video. Strongly recommended to anyone looking to better understand the world and make it a better place.

I had to send our first LeapPad back as it never worked properly... the one they sent me to replace it is just as bad though. This a cheaply made product that has done more to frustrate my child than to teach her. The sad thing is, if there was some effort put into producing a quality product by LeapFrog, this 'learning tool' could have been great... but unfortunately it misses the mark terribly. I'm sure all the low quality plastic components help keep the profits high for LeapFrog Co however.I know there are some great reviews here for this product, but trust me... save your money and do not purchase the LeapPad. It is an absolute piece of junk.I must say though, that even on the rare occasion this thing was working... my child still preferred old fashioned and reliable books. Go figure... the best way to teach a child to read is to let them read books written at their level, or to actually read to them yourselves. What a concept...

Your laptop will sit on this unit, so it is a bit clunky moving it around and such. Since portability is a main reason most of us have laptops, this is a bit of a pain. However, this cooling unit does exactly what it is supposed to. My laptop used to get so hot I could not put it on my lap w/o discomfort, and the keypad would get so hot it burned to touch it. All of that is over now, the unit stays cool... and I don't worry about a shut off due to over heating. I'd would prefer a laptop that doesn't overheat, or a cooling unit that connects to the laptop. I realize though that this cooling unit is made to work with all laptops, so it gets a 5 star review. However, why don't laptop manufactures solve this issue somehow, or at least offer a cooling unit like this that can 'snap on?'

I might watch this movie again, not because its good though. I may watch it again to count all the product placements, ie: advertisements, in this average lackluster effort. If your an adult that cares about the assault of marketing targteted towards children, this movie is your worst nightmare. I honestly believe I could count over 50 blatant product placements in this movie. I mean blatant too, like extended views of Wendy's advertisements on the TV and long zoom ins on Jon's Macintosh. You'd have to be a kid to not notice. Hmmm, maybe that why theres so many? I have to say shame on you Hollywood for this one. You've taken a legendary cartoon character and pimped him out for product sales...

I was nervous about this espresso maker once I saw that it had been made in China. Cooking or heating beverages in metal from China is no doubt a risky undertaking these days. I was already wishing I had purchased the Italian made product that is so similar (Bialetta). But the Primula performed well for about 4 weeks. The last two weeks it stopped making as much espresso for some unknown reason. Now it has stopped entirely. When I try to make espresso the pot just gets really hot and starts to smell, but no coffee. And yes, I read the directions, have followed them all and in general have taken very good care of the unit.All my attempts to contact Primula via phone and email have gone unresponded to. I finally just had to write it off as a loss and put in a purchase for the Bialetta.Cheap Chinese metal. Zero customer support. Low quality. Avoid this product.

I regularly listen to Coltrane, Davis, Dolphy, Ellington, Mingus, Coleman, Armstrong, Brubeck, Evans, Holiday... old school jazz that was just cool and pure and sometimes experimental yet rarely pretentious. Most of the jazz produced since that period, and especially the modern variety.. .not only don't I enjoy, but I have general disdain for. However, there are a few bands that are playing jazz that sounds like they actually listened to that sound and have learned from it. Happy Apple is one of the best of these bands... their tunes fit right in with Coltrane, Davis, etc on my iPods shuffle. Not the same... but from the same school and with the same soul. This is yet another great release from these guys. Very highly recommended.

this belt broke on me after a few weeks of use like another reviewer here had reported. also, i question the quality of the metal being used. i still had skin allergies with this belt. not as bad as with other belts, but clearly not as good as i had expected. overall, a very disappointing purchase.

this cd has phenomenal songs, is incredibly unique, and the musicianship is superb. i still can not believe that knockout ned, from the great movie 'city of god' is the one behind this. what a talent. i love this cd and listen to it all the time. its perfect for when you want to crank your stereo... or when you want something nice playing softly in the background... or for when friends come over and you want to put on something cool that pleases everyone and maybe even gets them saying 'wow, what is that? i dig it.' probably not for everyone... but for those who get it, this will surely be a prized cd in their collection.

I have all the Amon Tobin releases, and I have to say that this one is my favorite. At times it is raucous and hard (big furry head), at times it is beautiful and soft (at the end of the day), at times it is dark and haunting (bloodstone), and at times it makes you wonder how in the world the sounds are being generated... it is a great trip. I think some listeners might be a little caught up in the project concept, or are just unable to deal with a slightly different sound. Maybe others just don't like any of the softer stuff... probably the same ones that don't like Amon's jazzier tunes as well. It is a shame for them, cause they are missing out. Try to appreciate an artist taking risks and keeping his sound fresh, rather than lamenting that each recording doesn't sound the same. It would be easy for Amon to pump out the same sound every CD... but that wouldn't be very entertaining.This is a great 5 star CD.

This is really a solid release from TMBG, greatly exceeding my expectations after the last few CDs they put out. Notably better than the last CD, The Else. (although the Cast Your Pod To The Wind that I got with my copy of The Else is brilliant) Very easy to listen to over and over again. Some truly excellent songs and the worst of the bunch are still good. Great hooks and whimsical lyrics. A real return to top form that stands up against any TMBG albums.

Dave King is a monster drummer and I've always enjoyed his work in his multitude of bands - most notably Happy Apple and The Bad Plus. Here on Good Old Light, King further emerges as a strong band leader and thoughtful and talented song writer. The tunes are what you might expect if you have heard Happy Apple and The Bad Plus. Throw in a little more Coltrane and Ornette Coleman. A strange mix of classic jazz swirled in a pot w modern twists and free jazz. Existing Dave King fans should love this latest release. If your a new fan, maybe start w The Bad Plus which is more accessible. But be sure to try Dave King Trucking and Happy Apple as well.

This is the only book I bought on ECing and it has worked out well for us. We started at 1 wk old and after about 3-4 mos a poopy diaper was rare, and if it happened we knew immediately. At 9 mos he wakes us up to use the potty at night and many mornings has a dry diaper. We don't EC all the time, it's pretty much if we can we do.I read an article by this author in mothering magazine, previewed this book and found it to be the least expensive so I went for it. I have no complaints.The information was clear, informative, and relevant. Any repetition just helped me learn the info better.

I wasn't expecting much from this book, so I was pleasantly surprised when it turned out to be really good.The characters were all really interesting and well developed. I only had issues with the main character being wishy-washy towards the end, but maybe that's just me and maybe someone who grew up the way she did has a right to be unable to make decisions. For the situations, a lot of the main characters actions seemed really realistic. Sometimes I feel exactly the opposite, but when I feel like screaming at a character because it seems like they've really done what they've done, the book is a pretty good one.It's hard to talk about this book without giving away things, so much happens. I will say that it gets you pretty good in the beginning, holds on well through the whole middle, and grips you in the end.

I have to recommend this to all parents. Lately, it seems everyone is an amateur photographer. My case is no different- especially where my child is concerned. We are only planning on having one child and I don't just want to take quick shots of him here and there. I want his photos to be a creative and beautiful documentation of his growth without having to take a million shots to get the perfect one.Needless to say, my photography is improving, because of this book. While it gives tips directed at professional photography, it's all explained simply enough and its so useful for anyone who wants to commit even a little time to capturing quality images of their child. Just flipping through the book will give you great ideas, even if you realistically can't capture their level of professionalism.Just a few of my favorite points:You will learn the history of photography and see famous photographer's pictures of children and pictures photographers took who started photographing when they were children- probably unnecessary but inspiring none the less.Love love love the suggestions on how to approach a photography session and how to treat the child. This might be the best information that I came away with from this book. You cannot, and should not, take a picture of a child who does not want to be photographed, and you can affect how the child feels about being photographed by the way you approach the session and treat the child.There is a great "Timeline of Childhood" complete with photography suggestions for the child's abilities, needs, and developmental level.A glossary in the back explaining technical terms.An explanation of pixels and tips for photographing even if your'e just using an iPhone and Apps.Light sources are so important, all sorts of explanations and tips on that. This is the only area that I found a lay photographer might not find practical. She talks quite a bit about professional light sources like strobes and reflectors. I don't own these and I probably never will, but at least I understand their use now.I will definitely continue to use this book for understanding and inspiration as my child grows.

YIKES. I thought that the reviews were exaggerating, this book is awkward.... like the void of space... never ending nothingness. Anyway, besides the despair, it's got some pretty cool stuff going on. I love the main character's perspective of the body and the way it functions. The descriptions of surroundings and action scenes where a little rough for me, but clear enough to not be frustrating. The ideas though, very nice. I don't usually read this genera, I don't know why I picked the book, I think because of the other freaked out reviews. It was worth it.

This is such a beautifully written book. The story is wonderful, and even though the time jumps back and forth, it flows nicely. The romance is not focused on too closely, which was disappointing, but what they do give you is heart wrenching. There is so much more to this book than the circus and the romance between the two main characters, but all those other relationships are only vaguely touched on leaving you feeling a void where the explanation should have been.The images are very interesting, but I have to say, this is one book that will make a very good movie. It focuses on glances and moments, pauses and things you think you saw, thoughts are kept secret and revealed at climaxes.I gave it 3 stars because I expected more, I built it up in my mind with the great reviews and the beginning hooked me, but then it got kind of slow... After that I was just hanging on for the next, inevitably short, engrossing moment.This isn't a story that is easily forgotten, but because the artful imagery would be more throughly understood through film, I did not feel that the book deserved 4 stars, although that in no way means it is not worthy of the time to read it.

This book is so freaking great. I think I'll probably buy at least 3 more copies when it comes out for friends and family. I don't usually buy relationship books for other people, but this comes at you like an educational read. No problems needed, just a drive for improvement!I love that its based on such a large internet survey. I've made it a habit to base all my opinions about social issues on information like this. I understand that everyone's different and we all have our way of going about things, but knowing that other people have the same problems is always wonderfully relieving. What a varied sample! Usually social stats don't get such a wide spread- this spans countries, sexual preferences and religion!Who knew it was relatively common to be really happy with someone yet still wonder what it would be like to leave them occasionally? Or that fantasizing about someone other than your partner during sex is common for the everyone- even the extremely happy. This book is full of some crazy interesting (and relieving) "normals".The organization of the book is great; you can read it like a book or just skip to the chapters you need. I strongly recommend starting with skipping around, then going back to the beginning, we got a jump start on our issues that way. This book had a wonderful effect on our communication and made it so easy to bring up topics- especially since it tells you how to approach them!Great for every relationship I would think :)

I think any book that gives you a vaccine schedule based on opinion that includes ALL vaccines must be pro-vaccine, but that's my opinion. I found all the 1 star reviews raving about the insanity Dr. Sears and not vaccinating your children strange. I would hardly even say this book takes a middle ground- In no way does this book advise you to not vaccinate, especially not against whooping cough as one "Doctor and scientist" who wrote a 1 star review ranted about. My child will be FULLY vaccinated with the alternative schedule, which is all about timing (1 star reviews also make it seem like there are vaccines removed from this schedule, they are all there). I think the book deserved 4 stars just because I didn't LOVE it, but I'm giving it 5 because of all the ridiculous 1 star ratings saying this is an anti-vaccine book when it is clearly not. Sears even states that all the speculations about vaccines causing mental disorders haven't been scientifically proven. His main issues are the side effects, and to prevent side effects, he suggests the alternative schedule. Well done Sears.

I'm a fan of Jacob's character and like his active, painful role in this book. I find the story line of this book the most exciting as well. It is definitely not as slow as the others, which I give 3 and 4 stars to...even lower if you consider the poor writing, which no one seems to care about with these books, so I don't bother considering.

** 3 1/2 STARS **I'm torn. This book has some GREAT stuff in it and at the same time... some of it is completely lame.I really enjoyed the love scenes. Dark's focus isn't constantly on bodily appearance and the mechanics of sex. It's about the foreplay and the passion. A few of her scenes were excellent in my opinion.The plot was interesting, reminded me of a TV show, all over the place. Some times it was unbearably dull though- right around the middle. I barely made it through that.I don't like the heroine. She's a moron. She ignores obvious issues, revelations.. her own thoughts. She can't think for herself either, somebody tells her to do something and she does it. Even when there's reasons to stop and look, think twice, ANYTHING you could ask for to wait a freaking second instead of jumping head first on the bandwagon. Dumb *@$$!! If it was an attempt to develop her character it just made her annoying. I wanted to put her out of her misery.The end was frustrating but at the same time satisfying, even if the heroine screwed it all up again by not acting how she obviously should have. Because the heroine is dumb and obnoxious, 3 1/2 stars. I started at 4 because of the dull streak in the middle of the book- I could not resist jumping forward to the end and trying to see if anything really happened. It got that slow. Maybe I should rate lower, but because Im interested enough to read a squel if there is one, I won't. Although... I have a sneaking suspicion I'll be disappointed.

This book reminded me of something...like a pathetic version of Bridesmaids.I thought this would be an interesting take on the pains of breaking up. The humor it seems that the author was looking for, or maybe I just kept expecting, got lost in the extreme stupidity or plain insanity of the main character and her low I.Q. The only revelation this book elicited from me was the same one that I get from watching most reality TV shows- "I'm sane. Whoopee."I get it, being dumped sucks and sometimes you get desperate and make a fool out of yourself. BUT this chick was a mental case and I was expecting comedy not a story about an obnoxious dumb b**** that deserved everything she got.The characters were developed, the story was decent, the writing was clear. I hated the main character- she ruined the book.Overall structure rating:The beginning was bearable quickly giving way to pathetic drivel and ending in a manner that was only slightly redeeming.Overall an unmemorable book that I wouldn't recommend.

I almost didn't get this book because of a bad review that turned out to be very off on not only their recounting of events, but descriptions of the characters as well! (You can tell which one by the poor ratings others have given it). I've never read any Shana Abe books before so this was a very good introduction to her beautiful writing.The story was wonderful, clear and artfully written, it will appeal to the older teen as far as romance and drama with little action.The romance was dreamy and perfect. This story has two male lead characters, one more heroic than the other, both interesting. I liked how they handled each other, competition-wise, and how the heroine handled them. The heroine was also a nicely drawn character. Being of the same sex, I'm slightly more critical of female heroines, but she had a good strong personality without being too pushy or dense, which are my personal dislikes.Something I have to point out about this book that made it notably different: It didn't have that ridiculous feeling YA books tend to have of being dramatic for drama's sake. I would say the portrayal of the romance as natural and as uncomplicated as circumstances would allow was by far my favorite aspect. Don't let me make it sound boring - on the contrast, it was exhilarating- a meeting of soul mates at its finest.This is my first romance on dragons that I can recall. It is very different from other dragon stories that I know of. I'm not sure if this book is set to be a series, it seems like it shouldn't be, but I would buy a sequel if given the opportunity. I will definitely be checking out her adult series.

This was a little gory but it worked. The scenes stuck in my head. I'm not sure if I really remember them with an erotic mindset, but they did leave an impression. This dude is pretty tortured, which I'm kinda a sucker for in these books. I'd recommend it. I know I gave it three stars, but I just don't find these books of high quality as far as story lines, especially their endings, and character development. . So, since I've only given my all time favorite paranormal romance 4 stars, 3 stars for this genre is pretty freaking good.

The Darkest Secret started out promising with Amun completely plaugued with evil and no hope in sight- love it. In comes a woman who quiets the demons. Not only is she an enemy who's already done some damage in the past, but another Lord is crushing on her- and she only hops on because she mistakes Amun for her boyfriend- love it. Struggle here, struggle there, then the middle of the book just.. fizzled out. I really didn't care to read this all the way through, but I did so I could give an honest rating.The endearments and love scenes left me annoyed, they were uncreative and redundant. The repeated baby baby baby was even sounding better than some of the crap that came later. Bleh. I read quite a bit of romance so I can handle the cheese but this was nauseating.The story line was okay, their journey into Hell was another could've been (it was even built up real nice) that failed. The ending was more dull and patched up than the usual happy ending romance. I have to say this is one of the worst I've read in this series so far, it just went wrong in so many places. I haven't read all of them, I skip the lower ratings and this one is definitely a pass.Oh, even though it was the third romance the book focused on it did get me more interested in William's story. I hope that one goes better.

I've read a lot of Gena Showalter, but it's been a while. I don't remember her being so... cruel... it was very good. She doesn't shy away from violence and gore. Sucks you in and makes you love the hero. The heroine was very likable in this book as well, she had a very giving and accepting attitude and she didn't get snappy and dramatic on a whim like I often read in romance novels.The story was great and the hero hot and sweet and he had.....something that sexy male heroes don't usually posses. It wasn't the usual sex sex sex like some of her other books, if I recall correctly. More like foreplay foreplay foreplay. I did feel it was a little short in the descriptions of their sexual encounters, it lacked the mechanical descriptions that I don't like to go without. It made it slightly harder to imagine what was going on. That was my only disappointment though.Nice easy read and a great distraction if you're bored.

This book was sad, funny, sexy.. I couldn't put it down.This is about kidnapping... well, kidnapping is a strong word. Luring. "They" lure girls away. Who's they? They don't like to say. That would give you power. What kind of power? They'll never tell. There's a lot of unanswered questions in this book and while I hate that in movies, I find it entertaining in a book that plays it right. It was almost played right; because I feel that she could have ventured more hints at these questions- 4 stars instead of 5.The writing was great and character development was so interesting. Chapter organization was fun and short, making it easy to pick up and put down as needed, but always giving you a good taste. I also really enjoyed the jumping narrators- everybody seems to get a turn to explain their bit.The end was a bit anti-climatic for my taste but still good.

:::4 1/2 STARS:::When the family business is grave robbing, life is pretty much unpredictable- and smelly.Joey Crouch is getting along just fine, only mildly outcast by his peers and greatly dependent on his mother when she is hit by a bus. He's never met his father and his mother hardly spoke of him, but now he has to leave all he's known and live with a stranger.The writing is beautiful, the descriptions entrancing and thankfully without any longwinded dragging. Personally, I loved the grimey life Joey and his dad have been saddled with. It's interesting and different, making the regular lives look freakish through the vast differences.I did not find the slow aspects of Rotters bothersome at all, I thought it gave more insight into the characters. This book tied together well for me and most importantly, the end was satisfying.If you have an interest in life especially through the lens of death, this book will interest you. If you are interested in what happens to you physically after you die- all the pointless rituals our culture allows the funeral industry to push on us in our grief without knowing why- protecting the body from the elements, dousing with body with chemicals, perfuming everything- even the ground around the grave- you'll enjoy this book as well. If you just like a crazy story, this book is for you. Rotters is an amazing and twisted education into the process of life and death, high school bullies, parenting and the importance of a good shovel.

I really liked this book. It was steamy and the angle was extremely interesting. It is definitely different from other romance novels in that aspect. My copy has been read twice and will probably be read again.

I feel like I didn't read the same book everyone else read. I see how the mermaids were manipulative and twisted with each other but it was just too obvious to be interesting. The gruesome aspects just didn't make up for all the ditzy teen drama, more specifically their conversation style.It was mostly very dull, I think dragging it out into a trilogy just means there's going to be a lot of nothing going on in the next books. There would be some really good action for a chapter or two, then a chapter or two of dull ( all the chapters are very short). I really don't want to read non-stop descriptions of the ocean.The main character had an OK style of speaking, but even she got annoying. Everyone else was a complete airhead. The conversational writing was awful. Just because they're all teenagers do they have to talk like cheerleaders?The story itself could have been interesting, but honestly, it was not very creative. The ship wrecks were almost all the same. The characters were very undeveloped. The only things that were interesting was the one girl that was there that didn't deserve to be, as well as the idea of mermen. There was never an explanation as to WHY for either of these issues, not even a hint. Plenty of dull speculation that went nowhere though.The end was similar to an unfinished sentence. I do kind of want to know what happens next, especially with the main character's talents- which is why there are 2 stars instead of 1, but I will never buy another book from this author, I hated all the useless prattle and descriptions. I don't think a book for teens needs to necessarily seem written by a teen.

When I decided to take a chance and read the second book in the Lost Voices trilogy, I thought for sure I would regret it. I was not a fan of the first book at all. What a pleasant surprise- this was a really good book. I couldn't put it down, it almost makes me what to go back and read the first one again.Tons of action, romance, drama, violence, even a psychopathic mermaid getting crazier with each page- at a fast pace. Porter does scrape a bit far in her attempt to keep it fast paced, connecting events and turning the plot in ways that didn't quite flow logically. Though, dull moments are a more serious crime in this instance, and that was the issue I had with the first book.There is also minimum contact with the mermaids of lower IQ and therefore the cheerleader talk is minimized. I'll assume it's an attempt to speak in the tone of today's teens, since the mermaids who were much older did not have this way of speaking. Since I have a teenage sister and cousins ranging from 14-17 in age, I'm not going to empathize with this attempt- not all teens today have such a simple way of speaking.If I get the chance I will pick up the third book.

I'm gonna be thinking of this book chapter by chapter for a while. It stands out, the whole thing. The imagery is wonderful. The words are perfectly chosen to visualize the characters, their home, the fun, the love, the violence, the filth it's wonderful.Can you make a 125 page book into a movie? Someone should try. There's more to this, there's too little here, I want to know more. That's the only thing I can't stand- the book is too short, the chapters are too short, the information is hidden from you and never completely revealed... but I couldn't help but love it.I think I will always want to know- what really happened there? and there? and there?

Very cute book and a great idea.We're tryng to prepare our 2.5year old for starting preschool, he's very interested in making friends but has never been to daycare. We're going to try making a mommy doll, maybe a daddy and grandma doll too, and letting him take his pick.I love the story, my son got through most of it before being distracted the first time, so I'm sure it will catch on soon. The art is very nice as well, the depictions are clear and easy to understand for a non-reader.

I don't usually read books like this, I'm into sci-fi, romance, and children's books. This was some really good stuff. Twists and turns, I really did not expect the ending. LaPlant keeps you in the fog of dementia and your just never sure what it all means.Amazing writing, she takes you there, you feel the environment, you see the beauty and gore. Engrossing, I couldn't put it down, at the same time I wanted it to go away, it's painful, like a car wreck you can't stop looking but you don't really want to see. I feared for her, I wanted her mind to understand, the horrible moments were so bad it was painful. I never want to read it again but I'm so glad I did.

I grew up with this book so I had to get it for my son. I love the straightforward-but-still-joking attitude of the book and the cartoon pictures. I was about to automatically give it 5 stars, but... it's a really male perspective. All semen and sperm... where's the egg?? They talk about it but don't show it. It's still a great book but these guys could of done a tiny bit more research on the female aspects. Otherwise, it's my favorite.

This was a very satisfying love story with great violence and mystery worked in. The down time in the story is not tedious, it's interesting stuff and it's paced well.The author switches narrators frequently which allows for great character development. The characters act in seemingly appropriate ways as the story develops, without being overly predictable. The writing is clear and the characters have a way of speaking that develops them even further, that was very well done.This isn't a fluffy romance. It's not all passion, although it has its share. Brackston does what needs to be done to draw you into the story emotionally. There's a lot of loss here, but it's necessary fuel.The only things I was a little disappointed with was that there were options to explain more of the past to develop the main character. The other was the order of events. I think there where times when things could have been better utilized, climatically. Maybe it would have been predicable though.I really enjoyed this book, it's highly recommended.

This is one of the best paranormal romances I've read in a while, actually, at the moment, I can't even think of a better one. I don't read these books looking for an incredibly sophisticated plot or well developed characters, I will settle for ok and good respectively, when it comes to those parameters, but it's gotta be hot. This book delivered, I'm satisfied, good job.The only reason I wouldn't give her 5 stars is that there is a drag at the end. I have noticed that ending these books without bringing on lame cuteness or being incredibly obvious is difficult, it's almost as if they can just chop off that last chapter, so I'm saving my 5 stars for the paranormal romance with a satisfying ending.

When I look for these books, I want HOT HOT HOT, don't read much so when I'm in the mood for a romance an okay story and good characters will do but it must sizzle. I read A Hunger Like No Other before this one, and while reading the reviews of the other books in the series I'm beginning to think that first one was the peak. This book was good, don't get me wrong, it has it's hot scenes, but A Hunger Like No Other was a bonfire.The story line was good- it had an interesting twist that I have to say surprised me a little, the characters were pretty good, the hotness factor was the only thing that wavered. I like how she builds things up with the continuous teaser scenes but this time, I just didn't feel it. Maybe it's just me, but I was a little surprised at the high ratings for this one. I also think I was more inclined to give her the 3 because I was so impressed with the first book.

I was actually really surprised at how good this book was, I wasnt expecting much from the title. I've waited a week to write the review and the book has still stuck in my head.The story was engrossing, I thought it would take on a Harry Potter quality for a little while but then it went it's own way. Kat is a cute kid, a little knowledgeable for her age, but that makes it more interesting. Her sisters and their love lives were also lots of fun. I'd like to read more like it, or maybe find Kat her own love life?I rated it 4 stars instead of 5 because the stepmother's behavior seemed to come out of no where towards the end. The end also felt a bit rushed, I would have liked more clarity of Kat's talents.

Wanted, Necessary, Unwanted.I found it a bit far fetched with the lack of limitations as to how far society rules and magical abilities, in both Quill and Artime respectively, could go, but that's probably okay in a book for kids age 8-12. It was a little bit violent, but that gave it an edge- might be overboard for kids that young, although I could be wrong. The simplicity of the jargon- naming objects something they directly contained- seemed too simple to then turn around and talk about murder though. If you can handle murder I think you can handle some creative jargon.It did seem that the kids in Artime communicated very appropriately with each other, acting their ages- until they had to deal with being at war. I found their transition into killers plausible though because of the society they originated in. Although, I didn't really like that it was a little to easy to forget that they came from that society. They seemed to 180 into thinking, feeling, creating humans immediately- after being restricted their whole lives.That said, this was a pretty good read, death for creativity, strength in no emotion, separating twins and seeing how they fare in two completely different societies is interesting, as well as the possibility that one twin actually wanted to be in a place with no color and no emotion; even if only because of the nurture factor. Seems like it would teach kids about accepting others. I do feel, like another reviewer pointed out, that separating creativity from intelligence was inappropriate.

This story snaps you up and immerses you in an ancient world, l found it to be pure entertainment. Death, love, faith and magic were the most intense elements The Dovekeepers seemed to emphasize. You will come away with a better understanding of ancient times, events, and religious practices, but most of all you will be engrossed by the intensity of one story told by four women.Hoffman does not offer different angles of the same view but simply a new narrator on each leg of the journey. This leads to a full development of the characters in a way I do not recall experiencing before. The writing is clear, you are looking through a window into this world Hoffman created. These are intelligent and passionate women, most having a beauty so intense that others find it painful at times.While certain aspects and intentions were not completely clear to me, they did not nag or distract, but instead created a fast-paced intense feeling. This is an exquisitely rounded story- beginning, developing, and ending just right. Wonderful. I have never read any of Alice Hoffman's books, but I will now be looking for more.

My son loves it! We checked ours out at the library first because I didn't want to commit and have him not be interested. At least 4 readings each time it's picked up. I wish it showed a mom and dad, maybe one picking up and one dropping off instead of just a dad. My son really seems to be trying to get what this is about and that's what I wanted. We start pre-k next week, hopefully this helps.

I just read this for the second time, I didn't even scan through for the "hot" scenes, like I usually do with romance. I love this genre, weird as it is, and not enough people write it.This is a sci-fi romance with some BDSM. Being sci-fi, things get a little crazy at times, it's a different planet so it should get weird. The main character is a thief, and her punishment is to serve as a sex slave. She messes up, for pretty legitimate reasons, and she gets punished- the way the law dictates she should. No surprises there, you are forewarned if that's not the kind of thing you like to read about.I've read a couple of Sinclair's BDSM romances, but the sci-fi twist really allows for things that you just couldn't get away with when trying to portray a culture on earth.I really enjoyed the characters too, I usually find one of the main characters a little obnoxious, but I think I could see where everyone was coming from in this story. The hero was just delicious and I really liked his personality.Please, Mrs. Sinclair, more sci-fi romance, wonderful job.

This was a strange book. A strange title, seeming to hide a lesson that a lot of people try to teach these days. Coulda been called, "the next generation" "inheritance" even "children's world." I'm all for it, I try where I can to do what I can about the environment. But they kinda snuck that in. This is an apocalyptic story centered on the environment.This is a horror story that leaves loose ends all over the place. The big WHY is answered, but it's obvious pretty early. It's all the little why's that I wanted to know, and Jensen leaves them hanging.The horrific parts of the story in the beginning are great. It lures you in with that. Gruesome! It's all the down time that kills it for me. All the horniness and analysis of the main character, by the main character distracts from the insanity of these unexplainable occurrences. I usually enjoy a main character with a handicap of any sort, it gives you a great perspective. I didn't get that this time. I don't care than he can still get it up in the midst of an apocalypse, the relationships are not meaningful enough to make me care. The analysts ask so many questions yet hardly ever get anywhere interesting.It seems like the author couldn't figure out what to make of things herself. There were so many twists and if the focus hadn't been on the twists and their meanings it wouldn't have been such a big deal. The questions were asked again and again though.This might be an interesting movie. I see a lot of room for cinema to improve this. Images can satisfy what words lack and whatnot. As for a book, too much was left unsaid by a narrator who did not seem to have the capacity to say it.

I was not excited to read this book. I'm not sure why I picked it, sometimes I order a book, see it, then think, "what was I thinking?" Usually, I am pleasantly surprised. I was a little disappointed in this book. The good thing is, it's a quick read, one afternoon and your done. Since I didn't feel like too much of my life was wasted, I rounded the 1 1/2 stars up instead of down.It started off slow. That's okay, it happens sometimes, doesn't always mean you're reading crap.The middle picked up very nicely, creepy, mysterious, descriptive, some sexual references... interesting stuff.Then, in the span of a few pages it washes out and never recovers ending a complete and total bore.Sometimes this happens when things get translated, but I have to say, I was not expecting a coming of age story is this seemingly mystery-thriller. Oh well.

This book was okay. It didn't stick with me. It's been a few days and the events are already foggy, this does not happen with a book that really hits me. It felt more like a stepping stone book. There was a conclusion, but so much still needs to happen. I do not enjoy details being left out so severely. It is different in that sense though, usually the romance genre wraps it all up in a neat package, even in the paranormal romance genre. I have noticed less of this with the urban romance genre, although, it didn't seem very urban.The heroine is very assertive and stubborn. To the point where it seems she is just being stubborn to prove that she can be stubborn. I found it hard to find reason behind some of her actions. Maybe this was an attempt to give her the necessary masculine qualities.The hero is likable- unselfish, kind and gentle, but strong and aggressive at the same time. He had all the qualities that make a romance hero delicious.There's some important details left out, I'm guessing for the next book but I'm not interested. I found a few scenes repetitive, moving backwards to examine memories that had already been gone over.The writing is done very well as far as descriptions go. In the end though, I wasn't very interested in anyone's fate or the outcome of the situation.

2 1/2 STARSI usually read this genre. I kinda liked this book, I think I really wanted to enjoy it, but it was much much slower than I'm used to- it didn't keep me absorbed for long. The author seemed to avoid certain images of the good vampires, specifically their violent, animalistic, uncontrolled side. You knew it was going to happen, had to happen, then she'd skip to the next scene and inform you that it happened and you missed it. There were a few missed opportunities to make this a fast-paced exciting book and that disappointed me. I was expecting there to be more violence, I suppose.That said, the main character is HOT and just a really nice guy. He's a puppy dog, very gentle and sweet. Physically, very nicely described and it didn't feel overdone (sometimes you get pages and pages of "...his mouthwatering washboard abs..." and other nonsense in this genre). The repetitive nonsense in this book came with the main characters denial of their feelings. That got dull.The story is different- so I was expecting more. Since it's book 1, I guess the lack of character development is okay. I'm not sure if I'll pick up book 2.

This was a fun book. Not too intense, a nice little romance.The writing was fairly clear, with adequate descriptions to get you into the story for the most part.The romance was okay, a little dull. The characters didn't really click for me, they just had their "made for each other" factor and that was about it.The love scenes were nice. They are spaced out-the book is not over-run with them.The story is interesting, but not that mind blowing. There's a lot of things that could have gotten me more involved in the characters, rounded them out better. Maybe looking more into the past relationship for starters. It was just explained without really taking you there.It just didn't get intense like I thought it would. It was almost as if Jacobs couldn't get you involved. As if she was too invested in the welfare of her characters to really convince you of the impending peril.I liked the book, I just expected and was left wanting more from it.

This was a cute book. I didn't think I was going to like this book much. I like those pleasant surprises. It definitely had a "we're soul mates so we can't stop our actions" quality to it which can be either annoying or what you look for in romances. Personally, I think a romance without that quality is much harder to pull off so I just enjoy it.It had a nice amount of tension to it, the guy is a player so he doesn't always get it right. It was nice balance for the male lead be a tad insensitive because male leads can sometimes be unrealistically sensitive, which this guy almost was...some people would say he was anyway. It did lend to some valid irritation on the female lead's part which is hard to come by. Sometimes female leads are overly sensitive, which don't get me wrong, this girl was, but she had a history that made it rather justifiable.The characters actions for their life situations were believable enough. The character and story development was decent. I wasn't interested in knowing much else when it was said and done, Law wrapped up all loose ends with a tidy bow.The end was a little too, "Notting Hill" for me so I deducted a star for lack of originality. I reserve 5 star ratings for being blown away with the story, which I wasn't, so we started at 4 stars. Hence, 3 star rating.Good book, you could pass it up and not miss anything in your life. Good for traveling to ease boredom, but it won't keep you locked in with suspense.

I liked this book. It was cute, short and simple. Lisa and Ted are brother and sister, and some of the problems and solutions come from this relationship. There are also a new school, bedtime, and risk- taking scenarios.I really liked how the author gives the organs personality, it's a different way of looking at our bodies as not just parts but extensions of the mind that express emotion as well, anyone with irritable bowel syndrome can understand that. I know children often develop "stomach aches" and other symptoms when they are experiencing anxiety, or going through something they cannot handle.I don't have much experience with qigong, I've only done breathing exercises for yoga, but this seemed like a clear and easy introduction. I plan on trying out these breathing exercises, maybe getting myself a "friendly stomach."I'm not sure how my son will like this book when he's old enough to comprehend it, but I think it may have been useful to me as a child.

I was expecting a lot more of this books pictures. You can hardly tell any of these animals are nursing! Only the first picture gives a clear view. The cats and pigs had no nipples in the usual 2 rows. The upright animals showed no breast. The human's nipple would have been way to high for the baby's position. The major one for me was showing the cow with no udders, that's so wrong!!If you're still nursing a toddler and wanting to read to them about it, you can probably handle seeing a little boob. I wanted to read this with my bilingual 2 year old who's still nursing but after the monkey he lost interest because you can't tell what's going on.

My 14 month old loves this book. We sing to him all the time. I was looking for more books in spanish. It looks like it has a little tune on the back so instead of just saying the words we sing them. It's his new favorite. I think I sang this book 20 times the first evening. Now I just need something for my sore throat...

I've used this face wash for about 3 years now and it's worked very well for me. I was a serial face product changer- this is the longest I've ever used something. Occasionally, I try out something else, but I always end up buying this again. So, I guess it works for me. I use it about 6 days out of the week, once or twice a week I use a Yes to Blueberries face wipe (this can be a bit harsh on sensitive skin- not for daily use for anyone using Avalon Lavender).I have pretty sensitive skin, I break out in the heat and I'm severely allergic to Benzoyl Peroxide, although I can tolerate Salicyclic Acid for a couple days. I have combination skin as well, oily T- zone. I use the Clarisonic Mia twice a week with this cleanser to exfoliate and the California Baby Calendula Cream regularly (that happened on a whim when I had a scratch on my face, I'm also allergic to neosporin and bacitracin so I use stuff like that instead... and it does say, "for sensitive adults").So, all in all, I can't think of one funky side affect this stuff has given me, my skin does feel a bit tight after cleaning, but I always follow with the Cali Baby (extremely small amounts) and I feel fine.I find the lavender smell pleasant, but I only use natural and unscented products.My only complaint, and reason for deducting one star is the bottle leaks. And leaks. And leaks. Seriously, fix the bottle. It leaks out the pump. It should not leak so much, it's annoying to waste who knows how much cleanser and rinsing off the bottle cuz its all sticky on the outside pisses me off.

This stuff works great and it's all natural.. But - I spilled it everywhere trying to get it in my poor dogs ear. If she wasnt so obedient she would've been all over the place as soon as I started spilling. Fix the bottle please, at the rate it's going I'm not going to have any left and I just bought it.. Plus I feel like I might be getting a bit too much in her ears, not that it does anything, its just wasteful.Otherwise, great scent, nice and gentle, my dog even seems more cheerful.

We have a problem with breaking glasses in our house. I saw these and hoped they'd be like bar glasses and they are. These are not fancy, they look decent but don't expect to impress your guests. They are cheap and durable and you can't beat drinking out of glass.

My son is 20 lbs at 6 months and he fits into this really well. I know some other parents said that their kids were too big for it. I'm not so sure he'll fit up to the max weight, but hopefully he can use this for at least the next year.I really like this booster seat. I'm feeling like we wasted our money buying a regular size one that just crowds up our small kitchen. It attaches and adjusts quickly. It's easy to clean, there's no cervices that trap food. The tray cover is great for keeping nosey cats out of unfinished food.

My son is in LOVE with this show. He'll be 2 soon. He started watching this less than a month ago. He asks to watch it every. Single. Day. All 3 videos are on Netflix.FYI - - I hate this show. The music is so obnoxious- I'm not even that picky. Every adult I know that's seen this thinks the same. If you don't let your kids watch or play with certain things for the sake of your sanity, you're going to want to skip these. The songs stick in your head so you will be singing them in your sleep and the characters are nauseating. I didn't review based on adult appeal though.

I like these, they really seem to help healing in my nasal passages (I have seasonal allergies, and occasionally get staph infections). The company seems great, responsible.They're easy to take as far as not needing food, but they always get stuck in my throat. I'd love a slight change in shape.

I have two of these, I really love it. He can occupy himself for a few minutes now that he's about 4 months. When he was about 2 months it was great for naps. I'm interested in seeing how this thing grows with him.

I think learning how to curl your lashes takes practice. It took me a while to get this right without pinching myself. Now I got some rocking lashes (which are invisible when they're not curled). The pads wear out fast, you can tell when it starts to make lashes fall out and just doesn't curl as well. You can also use other pads in this thing, I tried some left over ones I had in there the other day and they fit. It also seems like it's well made, especially compared to other grocery store brands.

Just to be clear this is not 123 songs. I did not realize this, I should have looked harder, I suppose. You can get all 3 discs for almost the same price as this one. That said, these CDs are pretty cute, only a little annoying, and probably not totally necessary, but I wanted "Friar Jacques" and this was the only place I could find it in French and English (Are you sleeping?), although the French version is on another disc.

This worked well to get the algae off my acrylic tanks. I was very worried about scratching it, but even with some pretty vigorous scrubbing, I was left without scratches.I've only used it once so I'm not sure how it holds up, but for now, it's a great product.

I've been using this chair for a few months now. I really didn't like it at first, I would have returned it but I got an open box deal. Now I guess I'm used to it.I don't like-The tray- it's small, it's narrow, my son has always had to lift his arms up so I can get it on, the plastic cover is a pain to pry off, its not very secure when you lock it on and it is forever falling off the back notches that hold it when it's not in use.Its also a little hard to get him in the seat, that wide wooden wrap around makes slipping legs in tricky, and what's with the big wooden notch at the crotch poking into the stomach? Seems uncomfortable.It should really come with the cushions but it's nice that there are so many colors to choose from.I like-Its pretty, looks like actual furniture.It turns into a stool.How adjustable the seat height is. I no longer use the tray, I just pull the whole thing right up to the table. I haven't had much trouble keeping it clean now that I don't use the tray but I have dogs so they usually get rid of obvious messes right away.

I've really gotten a lot of use out of these. They are easier to pour from than bags and the small amounts really are perfect for newborns. Also I don't have to worry about a bag busting. They are a little hard to store in the freezer, they take up more room than the bags, but over all, less mess. I am also a big fan of all things reusable.

This is a great tasting sweet tea (it contains stevia). There was an immediately noticeable decrease in coughing that lasted about 3-4 hours.I'm not sure if it decreased healing time or not, the cough was a result of an infection (it had been going on a couple weeks or more after all previous symptoms cleared up) and after 2 days of some colloidal silver it cleared up completely.We were not using any expectorants or suppressants during the day while drinking this tea so any improvement (although in the case of infection temporary) can, in my opinion be directly attributed to the tea.

I'm actually drinking this as I type. So this is my PMS-y review.This tea makes me... not feel homicial? Okay that's a bit of an exaggeration, but I do have a big emotional jump the week before my period. Seems to make the cramps lighter and the period shorter as well. On the box it says it helps to flush the kidney of the excess hormones or something like that- which explains a lot.The taste leaves something to be desired. I describe it as, "Cigarette Butt Water," sadly, I know how this tastes ;Q but hey, my palate is a bit less sophisticated than some. With a tablespoon or more of honey it tastes ok. I'm not dropping a star because of that, it's tea, I drink a lot of them, they work. Sometimes they taste good, sometimes they don't.I definitely recommend trying this if you feel a bit crazy or achy before and during your period.

We try not to use aluminium foil for health reasons. I don't like the pre-cut strips, make sure you check the details, I didn't notice this pack came that way. I think we end up using more because of it. I wish the box had a jagged edge to tear them on. Otherwise, I like it. Good product.

This sound machine is great, I own the travel one as well. By the way the sound box is the same size in both and can be switched out for those who need the heartbeat sound that doesn't come in the travel version. The only downside, and I'm sure it's mentioned a lot, is that there is no way to keep it playing longer than 45 min other than restarting it.

I got these because my last set was flimsy and one of the spoons bent. I'm hoping that this will be my last set of measuring spoons, these are extremely well made. I like how the bowls are rounded. The clip that holds them together is very nice as well.

My son is enjoying his jumperoo so far. It has quite a few toys to keep him occupied and the assembly is fairly simple. It does not break down too much, if you want it out of the way, but you can always take the top off of the base fairly easily to get it to fit somewhere smaller.I gave it four stars instead of 5 because the little blue elephant snapped back and pinched my finger when I tried it out, I had read another review that said it could do this. If it can take an adult by surprise, 2 actually- it caught my brother as well- it will definitely get a baby. I had to unwind it a couple of times to get it loose enough to not snap. It didn't seem like it would come off, I pulled on it pretty vigorously, but I still can't recommend that anyone else do this because of unidentified safety hazards. If it had snapped my son this toy would be getting 2 stars.Also my son is 25 inches tall and 17 1/2 lbs and his feet don't touch the floor yet on the lowest setting. We put some padding under him so he could reach the floor to bounce.Other than that it seems pretty safe and sturdy with lots of fun for babies.

Love the pattern. It could be a tiny bit bigger though, you really have to cram the pacifiers in there, it fits two. I like the little front pocket, it's tiny but a pacifier cord fits in it.
