Not exactly what I expected
931634
I purchased this book as a gift for my sister who is "making the transition from dorm room to board room" so to speak, so I thought this would be the perfect book for her. However, when it arrived in the mail I took a look at it and saw that it was not at all what I had envisioned. First of all, the book is a hardcover book with "hard" pages inside...or what they normally would call a "board book". It's a book I would normally think of purchasing for my two year old daughter. It's not a chapter book at all. It's very short- 23 pages to be exact! Since it was so close to Christmas time, I didn't know if I should go ahead and keep it and give it to my sister or return it to Amazon.com- so I decided to read it. (Believe me, it didn't take long.) Now I must admit, overall, the book has some really great advice about business etiquette. It's just, like I said, not what I expected. It's more of a book I would think to buy a 15-18 year old, not a 25 year old. If I had known this book had been so short and made of cardboard or whatever, I wouldn't have purchased it. However, after reading it I do admit that the advice is worthy. It's just a very short book for $9.95. Just wanted to warn everyone- be careful before you purchase this.

This book was not quite what I expected.  I wanted more about the various peripherals and how best to program them.  Instead I got a series of small somewhat meaningless projects also talking about flying lessons that did not help any in programming the various peripherals.  I was quite disappointed.  I have the PIC32 book and it was very good and I expected a similar book about the 16 bit PIC processors which I did not get.  I kept the book but I am unsure why.

I returned this book as it was not the one I really wanted. The title was not what I had expected.

These work ok, but there weren't what I expected. The ones I was replacing had a hard plastic bottom and edge. I wasn't sure if they would fit into the plastic piece but when I tried to remove the old 'filler' it wouldn't budge. I just threw the old ones out and am now using the new replacements. They seem to be working okay. My reason for four stars was just that it wasn't exactly what I thought I ordered.

Not quite what I expected. I expected nature drawings. There are a lot of abstract type drawings. I like doing those too, but I really wanted more of a nature theme.

Thought there would be more action...good, but not what I expected.

It's much smaller than I expected and not exactly how it looks on screen. It'a a cute display piece, though, just not what I expected.

I like it, but the witht he way it's designed the books sit differently then how I expected it to be. It's at an angle facinf downward. It's not horrible or anything, just not what I expected. Kids like it though.

It's not as black as I was expecting, judging by the reviews. It's a good deal, but I was expecting darker paper, as shown. The reviews were misleading and I'm a bit disappointed. Thankfully, it was a low cost item.

From the look of the picture I was expecting something a little more edgy. It's still a nice frame, just not exactly what I was expecting.

The book isn't what I expected.  I thought there would be more pictures in it as it states.  It is somewhat helpful, but no identifiying pictures.

The book was not exactly what I thought it was going to be in terms of recipes.  It had many recipes that I myself would not cook regularly, such as several for rabbit and even the desserts were just a little too different for my taste.  I was looking for more maybe German type recipes such as bratwurst & Pepper slaw, etc.  Not what I was expecting and therefore, I am less than excited about the book.

This book was not exactly what I expected it to be.  Is easy reading but I was expecting a little more guidance.

I was disappointed in the book.. It was not what I expected but still interesting.
