customer 's review (Must have for the Nintendo DS player)
(waste of money)
(Tough and Stays in Place) These protectors are great! I just ordered additional ones. The last one I used ended up with grid lines on it from the game that I played constantly. When I took the old protector off to put on a new one, the screen underneath was in perfect condition - no marks on it at all. Absolute must have for the DS user. The product is a waste of money. I put it on the DS and now the screen looks worse than ever before. I purchased several of these Screen Guards for my daughters' Nintendo DS' and they have worked great! It's been 2.5 months. The girls play Cooking Mama and Nintendogs and scratch and tap the screens furiously. They adhere well and seem to be doing the job. Though, I haven't removed the screen guard yet to see what it does to the screen surface but hopefully it's still in good shape. Attaches smoothly with self-adhering surface; leaves no residue when removed. Includes Lint-free Cleaning Cloth and Squeegee Card. Quantity of Screen Protectors included: 2 (Top LCD, and Bottom Touchscreen LCD).

(DOESN'T WORK for the bottom screen)
(Very good screen protector)
(Item is a Universal LCD Screen Protector)
(Great for screen protection!) The screen protector does not fit the Nintendo DS lite touch-screen properly, basically it does not cover the entire screen. The product is of poor quality (I guess you get your money's worth). I had trouble putting it on without getting air bubbles between the screen protector and the touch screen.
Someone mentioned that it was too thick and did not detect the stylus, I cannot comment on that, because since I LOST the battle with the Air-Bubbles, I took the screen protector off completely without trying it out.
It's cheap but doesn't work for the bottom screen. It comes in two sizes, one that would fit the top screen and one that would fit the bottom screen but the screen protector for the bottom screen is too thick for stylus detection. I put it on and couldn't play with my DS but luckily it uses static to stick on the screen instead of glue so I was able to use duct tape to peel it off. These protectors were very easy to get on without any air bubbles unlike most other screen protectors I've tried. This is a great product. Bought this product and was worried it may not work on my cellphone screen because the item is intended for Nintendo Lite. I know nothing about video game gadgets screens. The actual package received doesnt reference Nintendo at all and I was relieved. It is just a universal clear screen guard for similar size specs. Guard protects my samsung cell screen ok with unavoidable air bubbles but NO sticky residue. These screen protectors make it easier to write on the screen and they may be a little better than the ones that came with the Nintendo DS Lite! The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because the shipping and handling is a little high!

customer 's review (Super Mario Bros. Movie Madness)
(lack of satisfaction: wanna see more Super Mario Bros.)
(Great movie! Classic Super Mario.) I ordered this cartoon because I thought it was unusual looking and I didn't have it. But people....be warned! Don't buy this if you already own the SUPER MARIO BROS.SUPER SHOW box sets on DVD! The 5 episodes on this DVD is from the SUPER SHOW cartoon! I didn't know that when I ordered it! I'll probably just give this to my niece now. I want to see more of the New Super Mario Bros, or Super Mario World. i am not as addicted to the Mario Bros. as I am with The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I love the turtles. I grew up watching the original series. I will collect all the episodes regardless of how much money I do spend. Hey, it's worth spending money on something that really interests you. How do I feel about the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and the movie "TMNT"? Well, it is not as intense, entertaining, and emotional as the original one and the following three movies in which the turtles were real. They were not 3D animated like TMNT. The original is always better than something that duplicates it. Today's music and TV shows are crappy, senseless, and a waste of someone's time. This video is a lot of fun. It's really long, and it's definitely classic Super Mario Bros. My kids ask for it over and over. Also check out the Super Mario Bros King Koopa Katastrophe. That's good too! Highly recommend these DVDs! King Koopa is up to his old tricks and it s up to the plumbers from Brooklyn Mario and Luigi to save the day. Follow Mario and his friends through 5 hilarious adventures across the various wacky worlds of the Mushroom Kingdom. Whether it s Mario Skywalker fighting Darth Koopa or the Toad Warrior taking the streets of the desolate Car Land Mario s Move Madness is sure to be a non-stop laugh fest!

customer 's review (I haven't received my items)
(Good, but NES songs edited)
(Best Soundtrack Ever)
(Excellent way to remember Zelda)
(It's zelda, nough said!) It has been a month after the estimated date my items would have reached me and they haven't. Can you check on this??? Unfortunately, I bought this cd specifically for the NES and Ocarina of Time songs. Sadly, I found that the NES songs were merely bad remixes. The Ocarina of Time songs were intact, but about half of them were not present. The rest of the songs were great though. I would recommend this cd UNLESS you are in it for the NES songs. I ordered this CD all the way from Hong Kong.When I finaly got it it only worked for my CD player,but that's no big deal.I love ALL the tracks.They chose them very well.My favorite is the Hyrule Overture from A Link to the Past.But the CD already has a scratch(I've had it 2 weeks and I AM very careful)but it can be fixed.All in all this deserves the title of best Zelda soundtrack. Got this as a gift and I find myself listening to it remembering all the great hits I played.
The CD is good, and I doubt you will regret buying it. The Tracks are listed in a review above, and I was only slightly disappointed that the Ocarina of Time songs are not included with the CD. Never the less, I enjoy it.

Mega Man 2, Platoon, Top Gun, Wizards and Warriors and Metal Gear. While he does give some help on the last two games, sometimes he doesn't know what to do. In MM2 for Wood Man he says"Don't use the metal blade."which is wrong. He makes a mistake on the other tape too. On Double Dragon in mission 3, he says"Don't take the trolley instead go deeper down."That's wrong too. You MUST take the trolley. Otherwise these two videos are good for a few laughs and some tips.

customer 's review (Dealing with loss, shame, and the imperfect)
(wonderful)
(One of my favorites.)
(Melancholic Echo)
(Warning - I'm going to spoil the ending) (+) For me, a gripping read Character flaws (realism) Emotionally engaging Entertaining Interesting character development
(-) inconsistencies in the theory of time travel of of changing the the future
I'm omitting many details as to not give away too much of what the book provides.
Many of the reviews I read before actually reading this book alluded to the idea that it was about love. The back cover even calls it a love story. However, after reading it myself, I tend to gravitate more towards the idea that this book is really about loss: how we process it, how it tends to dehumanize us, how it simultaneously warps and reinforces what we consider as reality. Niffenegger does a wonderful job at tying the theme of love and loss throughout the pages of her book which is particularly why I was so consistently engaged while reading it.
The Time Travelers Wife is at times graphic, at times very terse and very raw, but never lacking in appeal. You won't be pleased if you're looking for a heroic and solid sci-fi drama. However, if you're looking to read a fiction about how imperfect people deal with the realities of relationship, of death, of growth, and of mystery then you'll neither be disappointed.
Henry and Clare's relationship isn't so static as to impose insincerity, but changes even as they change. There is an intercourse of ideas and mystery as both retain knowledge that the other cannot or will not possess. The fact that mystery tends to be interwoven even into our own lives is very prevalent in their story. This animates them in such a way as to make them more real to the reader. Selfishness, deceit, and unhealthy attachments stay paradoxically close to sacrifice, trust, and love.
Buy this book, it's definitely worth your reading! I don't usually rate books that I read, but this one really got to me. I absolutely loved this book. I plan on reading it again actually. It's a little hard to follow if you don't have time to sit and read it in one day, which I don't, but it's not so difficult that I didn't want to read it. I am a lover of all different authors and different styles of writing and I really enjoyed this and I recommend it to everyone!!! This is the type of book that makes images of cold windy days, the color of fall leaves, and big cups of coffee pop into your brain.
It's just beautiful. It's hard to put into words how lovely it truly is. I actually couldn't really process it once I finished, and I know that opinions are very different in regards to this book. One of my friends even told me not to waste my time with it. Still, I think it was completely gorgeous, lush, breathtaking, and...just wonderful. I know I'm going on and on but it's that type of book that just hits you in the face and makes you feel like running out and finding a man/woman to experience a life changing romance with.
The Time Traveler's Wife is a heart-wrenching account of a time traveler, Henry, who spontaneously "travels." He cannot control when the time travel happens and it leads to a very unpredictable life. Henry meets Clare and thus begins a love story of two people who can never be completely together.
The Time Traveler's Wife will stay with you well after you've read the ending. I read the ending over and over again wanting to relive the last moment these two lovers were together. Melancholy follows the two lovers and propels you to keep reading. There is deep symolism in the novel; though the circumstances around the two main characters is outlandish, the feelings behind it are real. How do you truly be 100% with someone who can never be there for you? It's a question a lot of relationships face and Niffenegger answers it beautifully.
The movie is coming out this November and is starring Rachel McAdams and Eric Bana. I hope that the movie lives up to the book, though it will be hard. Magical and tragic. Painful and frustrating. You have to really open yourself up to fiction to really enjoy the whole concept of a character who has a genetic disorder that allows time travel. There were a few times that I felt the plot was dragged out too far, yet there are characters that could have been given more depth (Kimmie, the marriage of Gomez and Charisse). Overall, I really enjoyed this story however, it left me feeling bereft with sadness and frustration. We learned the fate of Henry, I don't understand why the author could not leave us with what happened to Clare. We know she lived at least until the age of 82 - but what happened inbetween? Did she remarry? Did the several pairs of golashes allude to grandchildren, a husband??? What happened to Gomez and Charisse (Charisse feared that Gomez would leave her for Clare when Henry was gone)? Did Clare live the rest of her life in the present like Henry asked her to? After investing so much time into this book, the ending was unfair to the reader.
A dazzling novel in the most untraditional fashion, this is the remarkable story of Henry DeTamble, a dashing, adventuresome librarian who travels involuntarily through time, and Clare Abshire, an artist whose life takes a natural sequential course. Henry and Clare's passionate love affair endures across a sea of time and captures the two lovers in an impossibly romantic trap, and it is Audrey Niffenegger's cinematic storytelling that makes the novel's unconventional chronology so vibrantly triumphant.
An enchanting debut and a spellbinding tale of fate and belief in the bonds of love, The Time Traveler's Wife is destined to captivate readers for years to come.

customer 's review (Love it or hate it??)
(My new favorite)
(Is evil born or made?)
(Disappointed)
(A 'Wickedly' Good Read) I know that some people really enjoyed the book, but I was not a fan. I can honestly say that I never hated a book until I read this one. It was incredibly slow, had a lot of GRAPHIC and equally DISTURBING content, and there was no resolution. I agree with an earlier review that I felt absolutely no connection to the characters, and didn't care what happened to them. I didn't know if I was supposed to feel sorry for Elphaba, or if he meant for me to hate her, but at the end, I just hated everyone in the book. No endearing qualities for anyone in Oz, apparently. I love, love, LOVED this book. It was so much more dark and twisty than I had expected, as I'm familiar with the musical version (nothing alike) and I was so pleasantly surprised. I had anticipated this book to be somewhat juvenile, but it really surpassed my expectations -- it was incredibly adult (I know I felt myself blushing a few times on the subway, shielding it from my fellow passengers!) By the end of the book I felt very familiar with the world of Oz, as though I was right there with them. Maguires descriptions made me feel so much like I was a part of the action, and really got me involved in the story. I will admit that this story is not for everyone, KNOW what you're getting yourself into, it is not a Frank Baum tale! This books touches on politics, religion, adolescence, childhood, death, and many other facets of life. However, these are sometimes too brief and undeveloped. It was a good read in that is was different and unique. The author may have tried to make it too many things to too many people. Definetly a creative and unpredictable perspective on a story most of us know. Just wish it wouldn't have left off with so many unanswered questions, it seemed a bit rushed at the end. This was far from an unworthy read, it just could have been better. After hearing so much about Wicked, I decided to pick it up at the bookstore to see what all the hype was about. I'm only about halfway through the book, and I'm not sure I'll be able to make myself finish the other half. The storyline has so far been painfully plodding and dull, without even the benefit of likeable or charismatic characters to keep me interested enough to continue. There was so little character buildup with any of them that they all tend to sound equally irritating with the unnecessarily flowery language. The plot is vague and confusing at this point, and doesn't show any signs of improving. On the whole, I'm not sure why this book has gotten so many rave reviews, although I'm glad it was made into a musical, because I DID enjoy that performance. Too bad the written version doesn't share the same appeal. There was so much to this book. It would be redundant of me to comment on the specifics of this book - it was however very entertaining and enjoyable to read. The main character, The Wicked Witch of the West, was thought provoking in her thoughts, words and deeds.
Plan on staying up late a few nights!
When Dorothy triumphed over the Wicked Witch of the West in L. Frank Baum's classic tale, we heard only her side of the story. But what about her arch-nemesis, the mysterious witch? Where did she come from? How did she become so wicked? And what is the true nature of evil?
Gregory Maguire creates a fantasy world so rich and vivid that we will never look at Oz the same way again.Wickedis about a land where animals talk and strive to be treated like first-class citizens, Munchkinlanders seek the comfort of middle-class stability and the Tin Man becomes a victim of domestic violence. And then there is the little green-skinned girl named Elphaba, who will grow up to be the infamous Wicked Witch of the West, a smart, prickly and misunderstood creature who challenges all our preconceived notions about the nature of good and evil.

customer 's review (Timeless classic on the dangers of communism/big government)
(1984 review)
(1984)
(The Greatest Love Story of Our Time.)
(Past or Future?) George Orwell, in his book "1984", writes of a future dystopian society where the governments of a few nations maintain control of the world by keeping their inhabitants in submission and fear.
Like in his earlier work "Animal Farm", Orwell is making a pointed attack against the Soviet Union and communism. However, Orwell's work is more importantly a powerful depiction of the power and danger of an unchecked government. He grimly depicts the psychological, economic, technological, and other weapons a government has at its disposal against its people.
I recommend this book highly to everyone; I would even say that it is a must read. The writing is not difficult to understand, however, the political concepts are better appreciated with first hand experience and interaction with government and its potential for power abuse. I first read "1984" as a sophomore in high school and did not fully comprehend the books meaning. The book is even more valuable as a comparison to modern day political events. I highly recomend this book because its interesting and it relates to real life. I find that interesting that the government is always watching, I always felt like someone somewhere always knows what you are up to 24 hours a day. Hopefully the terminator doesn't see everything like when we go to the bathroom or that would just be mest up.
This book changed me a little bit, now i think twice before doing stupid stuff because I know someone out there might be watching and I might get in trouble. It doesn't have to be the government, the popo can be watching you from far away and you think he is probably not watching and 5 minutes later after you did the dumb thing, your screwed and you will get in trouble with the law.
I highly recommend this book because it will change your view on the goverment, and on the world we live in now. I don't know how many people read this for enjoyment, but this is pretty much an amazing novel that manages to capture so many intriguing and frightening ideas. And yet at the same time it is remarkably entertaining--it's a great story of romance, intrigue, and betrayal. 1984 is a social commentary on history and the appalling state of public policy and society generally told through a love story that resonates with a deep familiarity for all modern readers. "In the old days, he thought, a man looked at a girl's body and found it desirable, and that was the end of the story. But you could not have pure love or pure lust nowadays. No emotion was pure because everything was mixed up with fear and hatred. Their embrace had been a battle, the climax a victory. It was a blow struck against the Party. It was a political act." The year is 1984, or so Winston Smith thinks. Nothing is ever certain anymore except he lives in Oceania and they are constantly at war with either Eurasia or Eastasia. They had always been at war with Eurasia, until a quick announcement and falsification of thousands of records made them always at war with Eastasia. The Party is always right, or so it would seem. By looking at records you know existed, you would find only lies. Winston Smith knows this because he works for the Ministry of Truth, which deals with the falsification of records. The Party is the single reigning body of totalitarianisim for 1/3 of the world. But, is this simply a mere story, or something more? Was George Orwell trying to warn us of the direction our own government is heading? This version is a little extreme, but it proves its point. Winston Smith is an average man working for the Party. Scared of it, but also hating it, Winston believes that he is good as dead. He does not believe in the Party or its values, and in this world, that will earn you an arrest from the thought police for thoughtcrime. The Party can virtually read your mind through the telescreen; a two- way video broadcast system. You can never be alone with your thoughts. "Outside, even through the shut window pane, the world looked cold. Down in the street little eddies of wind were whirling dust and torn paper into spirals, and though the sun was shining and the sky a harsh blue, there seemed to be no color in anything except the posters that were plastered everywhere."
The year is 1984; the scene is London, largest population center of Airstrip One.
Airstrip One is part of the vast political entity Oceania, which is eternally at war with one of two other vast entities, Eurasia and Eastasia. At any moment, depending upon current alignments, all existing records show either that Oceania has always been at war with Eurasia and allied with Eastasia, or that it has always been at war with Eastasia and allied with Eurasia. Winston Smith knows this, because his work at the Ministry of Truth involves the constant "correction" of such records. "'Who controls the past,' ran the Party slogan, 'controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.'"
In a grim city and a terrifying country, where Big Brother is always Watching You and the Thought Police can practically read your mind, Winston is a man in grave danger for the simple reason that his memory still functions. He knows the Party's official image of the world is a fluid fiction. He knows the Party controls the people by feeding them lies and narrowing their imaginations through a process of bewilderment and brutalization that alienates each individual from his fellows and deprives him of every liberating human pursuit from reasoned inquiry to sexual passion. Drawn into a forbidden love affair, Winston finds the courage to join a secret revolutionary organization called The Brotherhood, dedicated to the destruction of the Party. Together with his beloved Julia, he hazards his life in a deadly match against the powers that be.
Newspeak,doublethink,thoughtcrime--in1984, George Orwell created a whole vocabulary of words concerning totalitarian control that have since passed into our common vocabulary. More importantly, he has portrayed a chillingly credible dystopia. In our deeply anxious world, the seeds of unthinking conformity are everywhere in evidence; and Big Brother is always looking for his chance.--Daniel Hintzsche George Orwell's prophetic, nightmarish vision of "Negative Utopia" is timelier than ever-and its warnings more powerful.

customer 's review (a short book about slaughter)
("So it goes.....")
(Crazyness)
(The Why of Tralfalmadore)
(A great book) This is a book I'd always put off reading because of the title. I couldn't figure out what it meant, and it sounded too weird for me. In fact it is more literal than I imagined: it refers to five army personnel who survive the bombing of Dresden by taking shelter in a slaughterhouse. It must have seemed a very clever book back when it was written, some 40 years ago now, but all the time-travel and general avant-garde story-telling is so mainstream today that it hardly registers. In other words, the impact has lessened, and it's probably even dated a little. I don't want to be too harsh, though. This is a very powerful work, and once you know

I purchased the Webkinz Large Fantail Goldfish as a birthday gift for our child who had specifically asked for it as a gift and was THRILLED to have received it. The Webkinz Goldfish was in perfect condition when it arrived, and was packaged nicely. We (my husband and I) were surprised to see that it arrived so soon after ordering it.
The only issue we had was not with the Webkinz Goldfish that we received. The "problem" was that my husband's mom purchased one also as a gift and forgot to tell us!!! Two of the Goldfish gave our child double the joy. The Gold fish is so cute. My 8 year old Great Nephew loves it. And he loves the water room for it..Hope they make more fish.. Great way for the children to learn about the ComPuter.. I like this Webkin. It arrived quickly after my Daddy ordered it. It can't wear pants though. This is a great Webkinz pet to own - you can have an underwater room which is a lot of fun to watch them swim around. My daughter thinks it's shiny fins are beautiful and it's very soft.

customer 's review (A bit of a disappointment)
(Really cute, Not a lot of Movement)
(Okay for a minute...) This puppy is very cute, but it actually does so little that it may as well simply be another cute stuffed toy. The bag is adorable, I'll say that. But I thought the puppy would do more than move its head and make one barking sound. Maybe I wouldn't want it to make more sounds if it was going to be a toy in MY house, however! It is for my grand-daughter. I had hoped it would wake her father up in the middle of the night. Really cute little dog with the range of motion and size of the newborn pets. We have many pets and I thought for the price it would have more movement or responses. The bag makes this a really cute set. In fact the bag is great. It has a beautiful feel to it and the fabric is great. For the price I would look at Wal-Mart, because their teacup sets come with clothes for the dog too(for the same price). My daughter loved this toy at first, but now doesn't know where it is...lol. We just ordered this a month ago. My daughter is six so there is a short attention span anyway so it may be more suited for a younger child. Fashionable, fun and always ready to go, this Teacup Pup pet has an animated head and comes in its very own stylish carrier, so you can take your puppy with you wherever you go. And with fun sound effects, a moving head and poseable legs, this is one precious pooch with a cuteness factor you won't be able to resist!

(Webkinz Whimsical Dragon)
(dragon)
(We Love Webkinz!)
(Good choice on my part!) I got this for my daughter for her birthday and she just loved it. It is really cute We have been watching the Whimsical Dragon for a while. The prices had been outrageous, because of a shortage! This seller charged a reasonable price, and my daughter was thrilled. She loves all Webkinz, because she can play with them with her friends--and go online on their website, which is very cool. It really is a versatile toy concept that kids spend hours and hours enjoying. My daughter desparately wanted this, but we could not find it around where we live. I looked on line and purchased it. I was so happy that the business delivered it in the condition and timely manner of which they stated on their site. My daughter was sooo suprised when she opened the present. Thank you for making her day.
