The Lost City of Z: A Tale of Deadly Obsession in the Amazon (Vintage Departures

Excellent story of Fawcett. However, the search that author does himself is not much to compare with to Fawcett's. The book leads the reader along thinking that the author is going to retrace the steps of Fawcett. However, it sounds more like a vacation trip to a few tourist traps in the jungle.
The history lesson on the Royal Geographic Society was well done. I think a doctorate somewhere read more..

Jillian Michaels: Yoga Meltdown

I just purchased this video earlier this week, without reading reviews first (I ALWAYS read reviews first). Well, I got super lucky because I absolutely love this workout, I find it to be a fun new twist on yoga! I have been practicing yoga for a few years now, and while this workout is NOT traditional yoga, it takes yoga poses and adds reps at a faster pace, ensuring that you shed some calories a read more..

Doctor Who: The Complete Specials (The Next Doctor / Planet of the Dead / The

Just before the Tenth Doctor regenerates, he heartbreakingly moans, "I don't want to go." I don't want him to go either. David Tennant is THE Doctor of our times. Yes, there have been nine other incarnations, but in the past few years, he embodies THE Doctor so much that it's hard to see anybody else in the role. I even forgot that Christopher Eccleston was his immediate predecessor and when he le read more..

iKross 3-Pack Premium Reusable LCD Screen Protector with Lint Cleaning Cloth for

Does the job of protecting the screen for a very cheap price. Does have some bubbles that I can't seem to get out. Also, my biggest complaint is that when I initially separated the screen protector from the backing there was a sticker on the screen protector that I struggled to get off and after removing there was sticky residue that is still there. It doesn't affect its purpose, but it is a littl read more..

H&R Block At Home 2009 Deluxe Federal + State + eFile [Formerly TaxCut] [Downloa

If it were possible to give this product a negative number of stars, I think it would deserve it, not so much for the product itself, but for the "customer support" I received. When it wouldn't install, after many attempts (ending with useless error messages), I called H. & R. Block's customer support, and foolishly carried out the operations they told me to do. This resulted in a computer that wo read more..

QuickBooks Pro 2010

I waited for the 2010 version after reading mostly negative reviews for the 2009 version. I was upgrading from the 2008 version, and glad I waited. The install/updgrade went soothly and I was up and running in minutes. My first QB version was 2003, and it brought those files as well as my 2008 files in seamlessly. I have had none of the problems with 2010 that I had with 2008, even though I was read more..

Flip UltraHD Camcorder, 120 Minutes (Black)

I never wrote a review on anything, but I am so mad that this is my first. I got two Flips UltraHD's from Amazon. I received the first Flip on 3/15/2010. This one the battery didn't charge. Amazon's great customer service, I got another one the next day. Well, guess what? It worked day one, and day two it does a hard lock up consistently. The only way to turn it off is to pull out the battery!!!! read more..

The Princess and the Frog (Single Disc Widescreen)

For a while now, Pixar has been doing most of the heavy lifting for Disney's animated film department. Apart from distributing Hayao Miyazaki's occasional masterpiece, Disney has little stock left in the hand-drawn animation department, though they seem out to remedy that unfortunate trend with their recent feature The Princess and the Frog. It might not be the cure they wanted, but it will defini read more..

HP 2159M 21.5-Inch HD LCD Monitor

I purchased this monitor to replace a 19" one. When you think, only 2 1/2" larger, but it is just right for the space I need. I have always been an HP fan and this is just what I needed. read more..

Apple iPod nano 8 GB Green (5th Generation) NEWEST MODEL

I got this nano to replace an old ipod mini that I had. I think the features are awesome. The space on it is really good. I have about 1500 songs on it right now and still have 5 gb left. I use the radio to listen to my favorite radio program at work. I use this thing in the car, at work, at home, pretty much everywhere. Sound quality is great. I've only used the video camera a few times ju read more..

Panasonic DMP-BD60 Blu-ray Disc Player (Black)

Great DVD player. The only issue I have with it is that when you push the eject button, the response time is delayed. Not a problem if it holds up and is reliable...too early to tell. read more..

Western Digital My Passport Essential 250 GB USB 2.0 Portable Hard Drive (Sunny

My first review, motivated out of anger.

I agree this hard drive is an excellent hard drive, so good, i bought three of them over a relatively short period of time. One from two online, one offline. I already had another WD before, though that one failed. Well this can happen so I did not really care, so I stuck with the brand, as except for the failure of my two years old 500 gb, i read more..

Equus 3130 Innova Diagnostic Code Scanner with Live, Record and Playback Data Ca

I just received the scanner yesterday so I haven't been able to use it extensively yet but my first impressions are very positive. It is well constructed and a bit larger than it appeared to me in pictures and videos. The cables are very high-quality and the screen is large, clear, and bright. Although I have done virtually all of my own car repairs since the late 1960s, I simply have not had a read more..

GoWear fit Lifestyle and Calorie Management System

A friend recommended this to me, but unfortunately, it's totally unusable. First of all, I can't install it on my mac. Second of all, it doesn't work with Firefox. Third, I don't like that I HAVE to pay a subscription fee when they could have included that program with the band. For almost $200 you'd think they would include basic tracking software. It's like buying a watch, then paying a subscri read more..

The Twilight Saga: New Moon [Blu-ray]

I'm surprised at all the people who did not like this movie or Twilight for that matter. I liked the movie Twilight, so much so I went out and got the book. I thought this was a good movie and everyone has to remember one thing: A BOOK IS A BOOK, A MOVIE IS A MOVIE. You will NEVER find everything that is in the book in the movie. Otherwise the movie would be 12 hours long. You're all saying how a read more..

Soldier of Love

The CD Soldier of Love is extraordinary and exemplifies Sade's work as an artist. She gets a thumb up for this album. Her vocals as always are as smooth and soaring as a bird of nature soars the skies. I only had one problem and that was the delivery of the CD. Even though you all had a delivery window date, it was just too long from the time you all said it had been shipped until the time that I read more..

Star Trek (Single-Disc Edition)

The special effects are a strong point of the movie and they do their best to not let up on the action. I give this part a 5 star. Watching even the opening sequence of the battle with the USS Kelvin and seeing the startship unleash all that firepower was a plus. It definitely wasn't old series with a pair of phaser beams.

The acting gets a three star from me. I liked the "chip on read more..

Walk It Out

I wasn't impressed by the title of "Walk it Out" or the box art, but I feel that Konami really did put A LOT of thought into the actual game. Yes, there is a little bit of room for improvement but I love walking in "Walk It Out" and I didn't think I could be so addicted to such a simple and fun game.

Yes, I can (and do) exercise quite a bit outside in the real world, but I'm a gamer a read more..

Courage and Consequence: My Life as a Conservative in the Fight

Rove sees the American people as a pliable piece of clay. He distrusts authentic discussion, prefers to manipulate behind the scenes, and creates useful fictions that he increasing believes, forgetting that he manufactured them in the first place. There is little courage here, but many consequents. read more..

Rework

If you are an avid 37 Signals fan this book takes everything they have already inspired you with and puts it in one neat, short and to the point package. Not only does it give you a chance to re-cap all those perls of wisdom... but you can let a friend/colleague/boss borrow it. The more people that "get it" (as in the content/ideas) the better our business lives will be.

Thermos Nissan 14-Ounce Leak-Proof Insulated Travel Mug

I own 2 of these mugs. I bought the first one for my wife for Christmas. She loved it, and I liked what I saw. So I decided to get myself a second one. The product is built solidly, and really does keep drinks well insulated. The lid is easy to clean, unlike that of a competitor's product.

My only complaint is that the handle is too heavy and messes around with the center of gravity, read more..

Zojirushi EC-BD15 Fresh Brew Thermal Carafe Coffee Maker

It took me weeks to decide on a coffee maker. I read reviews until I was cross-eyed. I decided on the Zojirushi and I'm not sorry. It makes great coffee. The thermal carafe won't break like my old glass one and it keeps the coffee hot for a long time. I read complaints of slow pouring. It doesn't come out like a faucet, but pours reasonably well. I read complaints of coffee all over the coun read more..

Logitech X-540 5.1 Speaker System (Black)
