Not what I had hoped it would be

This is definitely not a good product for medium or large dogs.  I have a fifty pound mixed breed who loves to play ball.  The flinger I use is fine except when I have problems with my back.  So I thought this would be a great solution.  Not so much.  We used it once.  Try as I might I could not get the ball much further than a few yards no matter how hard or soft I stomped the Stomp'r.  This may work for you if have a small dog and don't need a ball to go very far, but my dog would never get the exercise he needs using this product.  And it in no way will it launch a ball as far as the package claims.

I had seen this on Dateline or 48 Hours and thought it would be exciting to know more.  But honestly I had trouble finishing it.  There really isn't that much to the story that I hadn't already known.  I didn't find the new info all that exciting.  The book was laid out in traditional fashion with the trial at the end which everyone knows how that ended.  Maybe some of you will like it but I felt like there was nothing making me want to keep reading.

I was expecting a bit more from this. It is loud and doesn't work as well as I had hoped.

Not what I expected...a little boring foe me.

I was disappointed in this story.  I did not think the characters or plot offered many surprises or originality. It may have been that all the positive reviews raised my expectations, but I don't feel like recommending this book to anyone.  I just finished it last night, and the only thing that left an impression with me are the short but brief excerpts from the housekeeping manual for Japanese maids.  It was a good book, but it could be a lot better if the characters had more spark and did more to move the story along.

I thought it would be different and found it a bit depressing.  I will try other books by this author.

It was O.K., just not what I was really looking for.

The publisher , in my opinion, has over sold this book. I was somewhat disappointed with what I found inside.
It may work for some, but not that well for me.

I had hoped I would like this book. I have read many books by this author and found many of them kept my attention but this book I kept wanting to stop reading. It seemed like it would get going good only to stop and I quickly lost interest. I finished the book in hopes it got better but I wasn't impressed with this book.
I also felt that the characters were hard to connect with. I found this to also be disappointing. I thought the book could've been better.

I wanted to really like this book. But I really had a hard time getting into it. It moved rather slowly for my taste. I think there's a good story here somewhere Just got to find it. It took me entirely too long to read this book simply because I wasn't thrilled to pick it up every day. I was, however determined to finish it. Which I did. Sadly I will not be reading any more books in the series.

I was disappointed by this novel. I had such high hopes after all the other books were so good. This one was a huge disappointment. Most of the interaction that we have seen between Dani and Ryodan was when she was younger. I was hoping that this book would show more interaction between the two other than what it did.

However, I loved the new spin using the old God's. It had me looking up information about Balor because it intrigued me so much. I didn't like that the battle with Balor didn't last longer, but that's okay because this book did open things up for future books. I really hope they are more like what we are used to. I wouldn't mind either if we got to see some of the other men find someone like Kasteo or Lor or Fade.

I also liked that you got a small glimpse at what Mac and Barrons are up to now and how things are still different in Dublin. I just hope the next book is a bit more like the others in the series.

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.

I am disappointed that it's a lot less lively than I had hoped. I was looking for a bunch of complicated, spirited pieces.

I was highly disappointed in the book. Yes, the photos were nice but I was hoping for something I hadn't seen before.

When I rented this book from the library I had high hopes of another great read like a solitary practitioner was.  Granted this book was very informative and had a great trove of insite.  I was just disappointed in it.  I guesse I shouldn't have my expectations that high, but I would suggest renting it before you buy it so you can get an idea of the contents.  A good thing to do with just about every book before you buy it, but a must for this one.

This book did not meet my expectations I thought it was going to be more interesting. Have found this book to be a hard read.

okay, about what I expected, but not as good as I hoped.
