don't get why it is so highly rated.

After watching this and both Claire of the Moon and a Perfect Ending, I can't believe the same director gave us Elena Undone, which is the only one worth watching

I'm at a loss to understand the low scores many have given this movie.  It seems as if the comments about violence or the ending miss the point entirely.  The ratings and reviews should warn warn the viewer that there are some extremely violent scenes, and to know that and then complain seems pointless.  Do they watch Amadeus and complain there is too much classical music?  Conversely this is not a simple Shoot Em Up (much as I like that movie).  It is not a simply constructed story, with the possible exception of Woody Harrelson's part, nor is it simply resolved.  So yes, if you want a simple cowboy movie you'd be better off  buying 3:10 to Yuma.  No Country does contain some very good performances by the lead actors, and some marvelous cinematography, and to my mind that makes for a great movie.

I just do not see why people think this is such a good product.  We can have thunderstorms all around us and all this thing does is sit there  -- LISTENING.

We had a SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNING the other day and it showed NO STRIKES even though I personally witnessed several nearby

I would return this item if the window were still open.

I went into this book knowing that some critics were raving about how brilliant it was and that it was a masterpiece. While that set the bar fairly high, and perhaps unrealistically so, preconceived notions didn't really sway my opinion too much. To put it simply, this book is not that good.

What the problem? Well there's a few. The choice in narrator doesn't make a whole lot of sense since this is essentially a book about a writer and his relationship with his sons. Another reviewer suggested a comparison between Phillip and Nick Carraway, which I wouldn't be surprised to hear that this was what the author was going for. The problem is that Phillip becomes somewhat of a nuisance.

The writing is sound. Gilbert obviously knows how to write. I'm not so sure he knows how to tell a story though. And Sons doesn't really do much to get the reader to like it and the result is that the reader doesn't like it. At least that was the case for me.

Which is a shame because this could have been really good. Instead, we're left with something that the author probably hoped would be some really important literary achievement. Give this one a pass.

I believe it is priced too high for what it offers. While I didn't want any "frills", I was a little surprised at how little it does have for the price.

This was highly rated, but I just don't get it. I was all set to like it but it was hard to follow and (I'm not a prude) but so many f-bombs made it distracting and I didn't even make it through the first episode.

Failure to grok: total. This is one of those books where not only do I not get it, I am perplexed that other people seem to think it's awesome.

I'm getting the impression that maybe I am just not made to read lite-BDSM romances, because I never understand why they are popular (I keep trying, because I am... a sucker.)

Complaints I have about this type of book:

*Why are they always set in a BDSM club? I don't understand this at all, because a BDSM club seems like a faintly silly, costumey backdrop, like you're doing sexy sex stuff at a Renaissance Faire.
*Why is there so little attention paid to the actual emotional connection between the two leads, when that's... what you have? That's the whole thing. The rest is just accessories. There's no buildup of believable sexual tension or emotional connection between the hero and heroine in this book. The writing tells us (but provides no evidence) that the tension is thick and immediate, that there is some kind of connection between these two.
*Why is the writing kind of not super amazing?

For me, this book is just not worth reading. There must be other books that toy with these ideas but are able to convince the reader that there's a connection between the two leads, surely.

Check for yourself. All of the 5 star ratings are from people given a discount or free product. The rest say it's crap!!

Pretty good, but not all it's cracked up to be. I'm not sure why people make it such a big deal.

I heard great things about this game. I have played it three times and am not sure why it gets such great reviews.

I do not know how to grade this... It works and I suppose that makes it average. How could it be above average?

I cannot understand why there are so many good reviews on this?  The drawdowns are huge on the live wheel system, and the online system is a complete and utter joke with no edge whatsoever.

The thing is that this is the best there is and the best just is not very good yet.  There are just too many variables. They really need to warn people when they buy because this is expensive stuff.  I want a  refund.  We should not have to rely on the word of others but on the company itself.  They are not being honest enough.  They should say this is still primitive and hard to use and prone to errors.  It is just barely usable at best.  It takes a ton of work to make it better and better is still not good.  I bought this on a hope and a dream and was shot down by that, being all I was standing on.  The problem is that they still have my money.  It is not fair but that it is the way it is.  I knew it going in but I warn you all now.  Watch out.  The chances are better than not that this is not a good move buying this.  The chances are this will not be what you need it to be.

Because that's all it's worth. Actually, it's worth less than that, I'd call it trash but that would be an insult to trash.

Do not pay money for this as you'd be better off burning it.

I just loved seeing low reviews due to the fact that no one could afford it. True fact is its probably not all that but if you had amounts and amounts of money to blow, you would. If it works like it should, then it's good. The fact of how it's created is when it changes. Plus, if its the only one then its one of a kind.

It is lower-end priced and lower-end functional.  It is too shear and far too susceptible to wrinkling to put it at the high-end.  I read reviews saying the same thing but thought these were just picky people.  I agree with them now.

I just don't get it. How can people review this "book" with 5 stars?  Mastering your attention while listening to music and getting your chair straight. Good content.
