 | Seinfeld Scene It? DVD Game | |
 | "Silly and Cheap!" | 2009-09-13 |
| I received this game for Christmas, 2 years ago, and it was by far the silliest game my friends and I have ever played, and we have game nights often! Most of us watch Seinfeld and though it was just too silly, not fun, and the cheap board broke in half at the seam the first night, just as we were opening it to play! What a waste of money! I can't return it or even sell it myself now!
The DVD they give you for the game is also slow and boring, not at all stimulating or fun. We stopped playing it with in the first 3 or 4 rounds of everyone getting a turn, it was just ruining the evening too much! I DO NOT recommend this game! | ||
 | Fisher-Price Ocean Wonders Aquarium Cradle Swing | |
 | "Godsend late at night!" | 2009-08-19 |
| I am a new first time Mom, my son is 3 weeks old and he is generally very calm, however at night time and in the mornings he can get a bit fussy at times and causes me to loose sleep several days in a row. This swing is amazing in that it puts him to sleep within minutes of being placed into it! I have it in my home office at the moment so I can finally start working again! He is wonderful in it! It has 6 speed settings however the difference in speeds is minuscule.
Alot of reviewers complain about the noise it makes, frankly it does not bother me, I take it as though it is just another sound setting. It is actually quite soothing, downright put me to sleep last night! Which is a plus considering the music on drains the battery faster then anything plus you have to keep resetting it. I'll play the music while he's awake, but if he's starting to doze off, I let it go and he falls asleep to that whooshing sound. Again very soothing, not at all noisy! Plus its way better then the sound of the baby crying anyway! Overall I love this swing, I just got it yesterday and have already used it in the two difficult times I have with him sleeping. So I'm already sold. If I find I need to add to this review at a later date I will, but for now it truly is a Godsend for my sanity! | ||
 | The Return | |
| "Ancient evils rise again!" | 2009-02-05 |
| This is clearly an earlier piece of work for Bentley LIttle, however it shows how his writing style has originated and been developed through his latest novels. In The Return, he tells the story of a rat tag team that randomly meet up and know each other through an archeological dig that is studying Native American history. The group comes across some odd shaped sculls and authentic pottery depicting present-day events, generally with the finder in them. The local townspeople being acting strangely, and start changing personalities, it seems everyone is being affected by the pottery shards, except for the group that originally finds these things. When the professor heading the dig disappears along with the rest of their team. The rag tag group, decide its up to them to find out what is happening and why people are disappearing. Along the way, you find moving pieces of pottery, that make people act crazy and do insane things... oh say like eating other people.... Strange hairy creatures are spotted, among other things.. Overall the story, though well written, is not well developed, it is choppy, and generally, doesn't attempt to make any sense at all. I love Bentley Little and one thing I've found to be the norm with him is that he doesn't like endings. There is always a huge build up, then a sudden end. The closure is very stunted... Though I tend to enjoy the journey more then the destination anyway... so if you're like me, you might enjoy the book.. Personally I'd love to see him write about a lost tribe or something.. like James Rollins but with horror, and the signature Little style | ||
 | The Association | |
 | "Not his best, but not the worst. " | 2008-11-04 |
| I am a huge fan of Bentley Little, and I have to say I've come to expect rushed anti-climactic endings from him, however his story lines are always unique and interesting, well most of the time. This is no exception, how many of us have always wondering about those perfect little gated communities? In Bentley Little's world Homeowner's Associations are the ultimate in evil, big brother. If you don't follow their ridiculous little rules, you are punished in the most heinous ways.. oh say like having your property damaged, or 'changed' without your knowledge, your pets poisoned, you terrorized at all hours of the night. Sounds like fun right? I"d say 4/5th's of the book is extremely entertaining and incredibly engrossing, the ending is as usual anti-climactic end that Bentley Little has perfected... It seems he is dedicated to maintaining a specific number of pages per book, if he developed the ending a bit more I truly believe he'd have gold on his bookshelves. Just a few more pages, a little more closure would make a huge difference. That being said,if you've liked his books in the past, you will most likly like this one, he sets the scenes just as well as he sets any others, if you appreciate his quick endings that sometimes don't flow too well, you will love this one with no problems. | ||
 | Family Guy, Vol. 1 (Seasons 1 & 2) | |
 | "Excellent Purchase" | 2005-10-30 |
| I love, love, love Family Guy, it is the best Cartoon sitcom since the Simpsons. Same as a few others, I did not like it at first when it aired on TV. Once they started to rerun the episodes I caught my self truely enjoying the show, and now I'm hooked on the new ones. I love this dvd because its funny, and it contains enough to not feel ripped up, plus I got the T-shirt which is very cute. I give it 5 stars and hope it continues to do as well as it has been lately. Let's get 'Petarded'!!! | ||

 | Sleepaway Camp | |
| "Ah to see or not to see." | 2005-08-29 |
| It depends, do you love horror movies for the plot? or do you just love horror movies. If its the latter, then get it, if its the plot you crave don't. Although the end is a pretty unexpected surprise. I just don't understand why the it's supposed to be scary. | ||
 | Breadman TR2200C Ultimate Bread Machine | |
| "Great machine but a couple of flaws." | 2005-01-20 |
| I received this machine as a gift from my wish list, I wanted it because at the time it had received fairly great reviews from users. I have a couple of problems with it though. First the loaf pan was difficult to remove the first couple of times I used it. Secondly, one of the reviewers mentioned that it does not bake the top half of loaves that are larger than 1 lb. That is true. I made the zucchini bread recipe from their cookbook, the top half did not bake properly, I let it bake an additional 10-15 minutes, this ended up overcooking the bottom half of the loaf with no apparent progress on top. Also when I made the standard 2 lb white loaf, it didn't bake a small portion of it at at the top. Either way I still use it quite a bit to make doughs and it works great for the most part. I tend to stick to making more 1 lb loaves though. Still it does a great job otherwise. I use it several times a week. | ||
 | Henckels International Everedge 13-Piece Knife Set with Bonus Cheese Knife | |
| "Great set of knives!" | 2004-10-25 |
| My sister-in-law gave me this knife set for christmas last year they still work very well, the only thing I find a little irritating is that the steak knives are a little too light or flimsy as some have called it here. Also the very tip of one of the knives were twisted by my mother, that should not have happened so easily. That said, everything else with the knife block set has worked out perfectly. | ||
