This COULD be a good book. I can’t say with this AUDIO version. The narrator is the WORST ever. She reads the book like a kids book. No emotion, no character development – just READ from the pages; with an almost apathetic, condensing “sing-songy” style. Couldn’t stomach more than a chapter. UGH. Worst AUDIO book reading ever!

Now I am going to have to return it for the actual book instead. I hope it’s better when read with some EMOTIONS.

Boomtown

I should have paid more attention to the negative reviews: The third time I used this machine, it simply quit picking up its water. On a very hot, very humid day, I’m left with a wet rug. “Troubleshooting” in the manual told me to do what I’d already done; take off the inordinately picky-fitting water containers and try to reinstall….14 times. When I called the number listed on the machine (under the “do not return to the dealer” admonition), their computerized answer told me to take it to the nearest authorized dealer — an hour’s drive away. When I went to their website, “customer service” isn’t even on the front page. After I located it on the page for the specific category of product, I found nothing helpful. Their customer service motto seems to be “let ‘em eat cake.”

The first time I used this thing, it made six clean streaks in a very dirty off-white rug (my Bissell had died, too, of a different set of symptoms): That was how I learned to check the brush setting.

Also, its capacity is WAY too small for cleaning room-sized rugs. It took about 2 1/2 refills to do my bed/bath, using gross quantities of their cleaner in the process.

After a world’s record overnight delivery by the shipper, this has been a TOTAL disappointment! Even worse, the price has dropped since I bought it last month.
Miller Girl in the

I first watch the movie with some friends and we all were almost sick when it finished it was hard to go through it but it’s causing such a frenzy that I thought maybe this movie was the worst adaptation of a great book ever so I bought the book.
The $8 I payed for this book was a ripped off! OK I’m not a teenager and I understand this book is written for this audience, but that doesn;t mean the author has to write as a untalenetd unskilled teenager just babbling and typing iditic dialogues in ridiculous situations(J K Rowling is a perfect example of a good writer for a young audience). There is so much wrong with this story in so many levels. Let’s start with: why on earth will a vampire with the knowledge and experience of centuries will attend a high school in a small town? Again, why will a vampire who has lived for decades fall for a lame and dissolute girl? oh and of curse you have the gorgeous sensitive vampire with his “vegetarian” family!. And of coure they fall in love so the story can develop the must stupid dialogues I have read in years in the most boring situations adding to characters with no dimensions and a lack of develpment during the story.
We Hold These Truths

It is unnecessary to spend a bunch of money on an HDMI cable. Seriously. This one performs precisely as an HDMI cable should, transferring audio and video data from the sending device to the receiving device.

Since there are so many reviews already recorded here, I just want to say how cool it would have been if a movie version would have been made for Catcher, and if James Dean would have played the title character, Holden Caulfield. And yes, I do highly recommend this coming-of-age classic.

This book should be titled “Conversations with Satan”, because that is who this sadly misguided author was listening to. If you really want to know about God read HIS book, it’s called the “Holy Bible” and not a book from someone who is just out to make a quick buck off of people desperate to hear the truth as long as it fits into what they want to believe. People don’t want to be held accountable, they want to believe that everything is all right and it’s someone else’s fault. This is not what God teaches. I challenge you to get into His word if you want the honest truth.

Having heard about the controversy surrounding this book, I borrowed it from a friend to read. I found the plot incredibly unbelievable (the mere premise begs credulity), the characterization flat and uninteresting, and the attempted portrayal of race relations cringeworthy. The whole book made me uncomfortable and slightly nauseated. It is patronizing and pretentious. I read it through to the end but would not recommend this to anyone.

Bargain sweeper that works. We use it at our buisness. It gets used and abused by all the employees. Works great and when it dies I buy a new one. Why pay three times the money for a fancy sweeper that doesnt do any better job?

It is really a fantistic machine. Took up some much dirt and really left clean carpets. Even when i went back for a 2nd time next day took up more dirt. Carpets were dry within the hr. barely wet. compared to my old Bissell machine that was too wet to my likeing i highly reccommend this machine for the home use.
