bought it twice, first time a good one, second time an ok one, because the lid is super tight, very hard to open or close.

I went to see this when it was first released in 2002 and at first i loved it, but the second time around i found myself thinking this should have been so much better. The film certainly lacked something, most of the time i felt i was watching a remake of the brilliant 'Wrath of Khan' but without the great story, William Shatner and the superb Ricardo Montalban as Khan. Im not saying this is a bad movie, it's certainly alot better than the dismal 'Generations' and the embarrasing 'Insurrection', what im saying is that this should have been better considering it's the last Next Generation big screen outing. The are some great moments in the film however such as the epic face-off between the Enterprise E and Shinzons ship and the wedding scene has some good humour (Despite an appearence by Westley Crusher). Overall im not sure about this one, on the one hand it's a good solid Star Trek film, but on the other hand it feels like a half arsed remake of 'The Wrath of Khan' and it's not even close to been as good as that film. Judge for your self and give it a try.

I liked my first one very much.  Problem is, my wife liked it more so I had to buy this second one for me.

I prefer the debut, but this one's good.  I won't get into specifics, but this one lacks the utter charm of the first album.  There are some songs on here that just sound like filler material to me.
Still, it's good.  Get it.

Got this through the Kindle First program. I through this pretty quickly once I started.
Agree with some of the other reviewers that I'm not that sold on the time travel device / plot and I thought the build up was drawn out a bit, but I enjoyed the characters and the humor. At times, I was starting to feel things were too well-thought out or that some of the characters were just a little too intuitive, but I'm satisfied with the holes that were left to get this book to its tense ending. I get that this was more of an introduction to the series' setting, but it did feel artificially forced into more than one book. I'm definitely going to buy the second one when it comes out though, and will check out the writer's other work.

The first one was the best, the second one was not quite as good, and the last one was a let down.

Actually, this movie may be even less realistic than most Grisham, but it's clever and well acted enough to hold together fairly well despite that.  I've seen it twice, and may watch again someday; it was more fun the first time, though.  If you haven't seen it, and you like the suspense/action/legal thriller genre, give it a shot.

I loved the first one. I also really enjoyed this one, not quite as much but it was worth renting.

Had to return first one. The second one has been good so far.

I had initially read this book when it first came out and enjoyed it, but wasn't gaga. I remember getting the second book from the library and not being into it. But sometimes that happens if I'm not in the right mood.

So then I was thinking I wanted to read the rest of the series (after finding out there are four books and being intrigued by the lack of the requisite trilogy), but I remembered very little about the first book. And then Amazon had a Kindle sale on the books and the next thing you know, I own all four books and am now required to love them.

So I read this again. And I enjoyed it again. And I remembered what I enjoyed about it the first time. I like the use of Ethan's point of view, I like the setting (although a bit stereotyped at times), I like the secondary characters and the way they move the plot forward. I hated the brief change of view in a critical scene at the end. I cannot say this enough: Don't write in first person if you can't stay in first person. Writing that section in italics doesn't make it better. But I enjoyed the rest of the story enough to overlook that. I also hated Ethan's use of the nickname "L." For heaven's sake, "Lena" only has two syllables, and "L" is not a good nickname. But we'll call that a pet peeve and overlook that as well.

A solid beginning to what I hope is a good series.

This book started out strong for me, but faded a bit in the second half.  As sequel I guess I started getting the feeling that it was just more of the same by the end.

Our hero is also older in this book than the first, so there is less of the angst of young that plagued the first book.  The writing is also a bit more polished, making this a more of a pleasant read.

Socrates is the character that really made the first book work for me.  He is absent in this book, except as a memory, and I suspect that this might be why this book was not as appealing to me as the first.

Entertainment: 3 stars

Enlightenment: 4 stars

Overall: 3.5 stars

Everyone told me the 2nd one was better than the first one. The first one was crap. I ask you, what's better than crap...not as crap.

The first one went on nice and easy. I had a little trouble with #2.

I saw this movie years ago when it was first released in theaters. At that time, I really enjoyed it. I just watched it again on this DVD and for some reason, it wasn't as good as back then. Yes, it is enjoyable, but the zest was gone.
Overall, it's okay. You'll have to be the judge whether you like it or not.
