Not quite what I hoped for

I bought these socks for my 2 month old daughter because the tops looked like they wouldn't dig into her legs.  I don't like the fold over kind because they tend to leave marks on her legs, but I've found that brands like Heidi Klum's Scrumptious stay on without leaving marks.  These looked to have the same design, but don't stay on at all.  A few kicks and they start the slide right off.  The material is nice, but are no good to me if they can't stay on little active baby feet.  I'm hoping they might perform better once baby gets bigger, but until then, they'll be sitting in a drawer.

Not as nice as I hoped for. For the price I paid I expected more.

I was expecting a bit more efficient speaker set.  This set of speakers replaced a 2 ohm impedance set of speakers that I was having a hard time getting sufficient volume from.  I was starting to get worried that I would do some damage to the receiver, so I purchased these speakers.  So far they are good, but not as efficient as I was hoping for.  I only use them to watch movies on this system and I have only seen two movies since I installed them.  I've read they have a long break-in period, and I'm hoping they will be better after that.

This book was not as good a read as I had hoped. It is well written but not exactly what I had anticipated.

Not as much meat and potatoes as I hoped. The book was skewed towards more modern pickup trucks. I was hoping for better coverage of medium and heavy duty trucks as they are also an important part of the Chevrolet truck heritage. I was also hoping for more comprehensive coverage of all Chevy truck specifications and appearance over the years, and more coverage of Chevrolet truck engines.

I wanted to like it more...I like the idea of reading a story where the protagonists were of questionable character. Sadly, the book fell a little short for me. For the sake of brevity (I'm assuming) things moved very quickly and major portions of the story were odd to me.

I gave it three stars because I felt like I had to see how it ended up but I never felt connected to the story.

I expected great things from the title of this book, but it wasn't what I was hoping for.  I was hoping for insights on how Michael J. Fox remains so optimistic in light of his disease.  However, most of the book dealt with politics (about 100 pages), and how he has raised funds for their foundation.  There were a few humerous parts of the book, and I enjoyed the stories about his family, but it was not the uplighting, optimistic book that I had hoped for. I also felt like Michael J. Fox was flaunting his wealth in many parts of the book, which saddened me.  We all know he is wealthy, but he didn't have to make a point to tell the reader several times throughout the book.

The idea behind this book is a good one, and I feel like the book could have come out better than it did. I really wanted to like this book when I started, and I did end up enjoying it, but not as much as I hoped I would.

Mainly, this book just seemed choppy. I could get over the clichd aspect of the novel because it's rare to find a book that doesn't contain some sort of clich, however, the book seemed to jump all over, and some it was hard to connect certain times, places, relationships because they just didn't seem to add up or make sense.

Throughout the entire book, I felt like I was missing pieces of information that would have brought sense to the story. For example, how Katy goes from knowing something is different about her but not knowing what exactly to suddenly performing spells with Hattie, without much of a transition between the two. Parts of the book just seemed to jump around and it made it hard for me to enjoy the story as much as I wanted to.

I did like this book, I just feel like it could have been better if there had been a little more flow to it.

I was hopeful for this product so that I could do more healthy stuff, but I'm finding it hard to figure out the right amount of water to use.  I use the cup and they tend to be more soft boiled than hard, and I'm still confused on if I'm doing something wrong or if the laws of physics has me on trial for something.  Not really impressed, debating about going back to using the oven as Alton Brown does.

This item works well enough. But, not as well as I expected. It is really loud and doesn't pick up as well as I had hoped.

I wanted to like this book more.  I felt like it had an interesting story, but I found that I was confused over some the characters and events, and found myself wanting to know more.  Still, I would say that I enjoyed it overall, but I feel like it could have been better.

I wanted this book to be so much better than it actually was. Chapter 1 set an incredible scene but the subsequent chapters while good weren't as captivating as I had hoped. In honesty, I found myself skimming through the book. Loved the premise I just wish it had delivered more.

It doesn't work as great as I had hoped.  I have arthritis and was looking for something that would make jar and bottle opening easier and this wasn't it.

I don't want to knock the product because it does what it says. For me it just wasn't what I was hoping for. I found it a bit cumbersome and too wobbly on my bike with my 8 pound Maltipoo in it. I did not realize while looking at it online that it had 2 straps that came across the top opening that you have to slip your dog through to get him into the basket. The straps are not too rigid and you can kind of push them aside a little bit to get your items in and out of the basket but with my dog who has 4 little legs and a tail it can be a bit of a challenge to get him in and out. I also added some zip ties to the brace bracket underneath that rests on the bike post to try and keep it from moving around. It didn't really change much and I will send it back and try something else. I just ordered a "Dutch Dog Design Doggyride Cocoon Bike Basket" that looks promising. Not available yet through Amazon but I hope it works out.

I had high expectation for this book and I must admit that I found the concept behind it quite intriguing.  I had seen several images from this book published in numerous photographic magazines and had hoped the entire  book was as strong as the images I had seen published.  Unfortunately, the  balance of the images were not as strong as the few I had seen published.  Conceptually strong, photographically not as strong as I might have hoped  for.

I was really looking forward to this book and was a bit disappointed. It has some great information and I learned a lot, but there were also quite a few places where I felt more explanation or pictures were needed and I had a hard time understanding some of the concepts.

Not as good as I was hoping.  Instructions are ok.
