First bad review I've ever written
924366
Absolute piece of junk.  Worked for 2 months and now just blows hot air and doesn't pop.  First bad review I've ever written.  And, the seller won't take it back, so basically I rented it for 2 months.  Ridiculous!

UPDATE:
Mother of god!  What a terrible book.  The conversation at the end of "The Haunted Cottage" might have made me vomit a bit in my mouth had I not already anticipated it.  Truly awful.  The behavior of the main character is absurd.  At one moment she is drunk on two Mimosas (?!) and light beer, accepting a drive home from a complete stranger, wondering how it may work to have sex with him in the house.  The next moment she is "selflessly releasing" the person that has been most kind to her, for the sake of her child and their own best interests.  Her ex husband MIGHT become abusive.  What's that about??  Makes me think that the author may have been having a personal issue.  She seemed to use the story over and over to berate the drinking of the ex-husband.  Flashback to the Mimosa event.  The writing is incredibly hard to get through.  I cannot believe I had to sit through a discussion with a six-year old on fractions using pizza slices or the type of salad dressing that her girlfriend ordered for her 'on the side'.  Good grief!  Come to find out there was a perfectly valid reason for me not getting into these books sooner.  They are terrible.

Previous review:
I have had this set of books downloaded since December, 2013.  Every time I've attempted to get started again, it has been the actual writing that has put me off.  The stories may be wonderfully creative, but I am having so much trouble getting beyond the predictability of the writing and the self-centeredness of the main character in the first story, that I have simply not been able to push through.  The first story, "The Haunted Cottage" is basically moment to moment accounts of the life of a divorced mommy of a 6-year old and is about as interesting as it sounds...not at all.

My plan is to really try to stay with this at least long enough to finish this single story, and then edit this review.  Until then, I can say that I would not have purchased this set even at a very low price if I had known how difficult it would be to stay with the writing style.  I feel that the number of "positive" reviews deserved at least some contradiction from another reader.  I have not enjoyed anything that I have read so far and would not have recommended this set to a friend.

I'm going to start by saying i usually never leave a bad review on things as i am very handy and pretty forgiving. I never leave a review until i have used the product extensively for months. This is a different story.

Imagine my excitement to finally have a tv in our camper and a pile of movies to choose from on a rainy day. I took the T.V. out of the box, looks nice with the perfect size, hung it on the wall bracket, turned it on, and FAIL!!! Two large white stripes down the right side of the screen. I tried everything from switching from 110V to 12V, laying it on the bed off the wall, played with the settings,  everything. We are leaving on a camping trip tomorrow with cold nights and was looking forward to laying in bed with my wife and watching a movie...not THAT kind of movie. No T.V. this time. With no option for replacement, only refund I can't even get another shipped without buying another. I want my refund for a broken T.V. before I buy another. I think I might shop somewhere else this time.

I'm not in the habit of giving negative reviews - or of letting other reviews put me off buying something that looks interesting, but I'll make an exception this time in the hope i'll save someone money - because i'm feeling quite robbed. I read the sample & thought 'first novel' it should improve as it develops & I like giving new authors a chance.  With those thoughts clearly understood, my opinion is simple - this book is bad. Not 'needs work", has some grammar problems, needs proof reading, lacks continuity or plot reality (On her Aunt Gardiners advice EB walks from Cheapside to Mayfair alone  to confront D about his supposed intentions) - its just plain & simple BAD. Read the phone book or the microwave manual, you'll get more entertainment &/or value from doing so!  I want the time I spent reading this 'story' back!!  (I'm not giving it the tittle of "book"). I'd like my money back too, but there is no method or justification for a refund because a book is bad - it's a hazard of ebooks that you can't flick to other parts of a book & then put it down & continue browsing.

I've never heard of this author or read any of her other books, nor will I ever. From beginning to end, this book was terrible. It sounds like the first draft of any novel, written by a fifth grader. The only good thing I got from it was that it gives me hope that this publisher will publish anything, maybe when I have a novel I will come to them. Somehow her novel made it through. yikes! I've never written a bad review for a book, no matter how much I didn't like - but I was able to get something from it, this one, nothing.

As many of the reviews said (but I hoped were the minority), as soon as I turned the unit on, it began schizophrenically displaying random numbers of all sizes and could never hold at 0 or could give me a reading with something (pen, piece of paper, bottle of water) placed on it. Right out of the box it's faulty. You'd think that someone would do a quality check. I've never bought something of poor quality off of Amazon but this is the first. I DO NOT RECOMMEND OZERI. Even if their nicer scales work fine, it's absolutely unacceptable to ship a malfunctioning product. I repeat - do not buy. Spend an extra $10-20 and get a quality food scale.

I don't usually write many reviews, but when something is this bad I just need to write something to save someone their money.  This is quite possibly one of the worst books I have ever read. The idea was promising, I liked the Raven character initially - sexy mechanic chic.  In another review someone mentioned this was an "insta-love" story. And I was thinking hey I can do insta-love, I read 50 shades of grey and liked it despite the idiotic inner goddess.  This book is a whole new low.  There is NO suspensful chase, it is literally an anti climactic insta-love written terribly and predictably through and through. The characters are one dimensional, no evolution at all.  Major flaws in the plot line too. I found myself skimming it to the end, I don't understand how this can have such rave reviews.

I throw up my hands.  At 6% on my Kindle, I cannot read any more.  The introduction was the most atrocious writing I have ever seen.  Was this edited?  Was it even proofed?  It sounds like an essay written by a seventh grader in class.  At first, I thought maybe it was an in joke at the expense of Brooklynese.  But when you start every sentence thinking, "where is the error going to be in this sentence?" it  detracts from what could be a great book.

I am so disappointed.  If you struggle through it, skip any observation the author makes.  They run from the banal to the inane.  Look for the material that has been cut and pasted in.  That might be worthwhile.  I don't know if I have the stomach to pick it up again.  I am not a stickler.  I read a book or 2 a week on Audible and maybe a dozen on Kindle and some hardcover books every year.  I occasionally don't finish a book, but usually because I got involved in another book.  I am always looking for the book I cannot put down.  I cannot remember another time when I put down a book out of exasperation with the author.

They should recall this book.  Burn every copy, and hire a professionjal writer to work with this aspiring author, who apparently breathed too many fumes from the Gowanus.

That this was a recommendation of the NY Times Book Review gives me pause.

The instructions were written by someone who has very little knowledge of English and it is impossible to understand what they're trying to say.  I have learned how to operate it mainly by pushing the buttons and seeing what happens.

After about an hour the screen turns blue and "card full" is written on it.  Then it is no longer recording, so I must stop, go through the menu to format and erase all that's on it.  I and about 6 other people have gone over the instructions to see how to get it to loop and so far no luck.  On top of that, there's no phone number to call for support.  I'm about ready to return the damn thing!!

Never written a review before, but since this is the first product I've ever received that was DOA, I had to say something.  How do you mess up something as simple as a power supply is beyond me.  Didn't even want to deal with returning this piece of junk.  It went right into the trash can.

I have no idea why people are giving out such a high rating to a piece of garbage. I used it for the first time and it kept making pop noise that scared me and I found that the bottom started to bulge and became uneven...I took it off immediately cuz I don't want it to go pop for real. DEFINITELY WORST EXPERIENCE I'VE HAD WITH ANYTHING I PURCHASED FROM AMAZON EVER.

Ok this has to be said. I read a new book every day. I've read many and have never left a review but I felt like I had to this time. Just awful. This book was horrible. I cannot believe people gave this more than 1 star. Very childish writing. Worst book I've ever read.

Arrived unpacked tested Doesnt Work. Very very very disappointed. My very first bad product from Amazon after so many purchases. Since I'm far away in Singapore so my only option would be to throw this Rubbish in the Rubbish Bin where it belong. Will think twice about ordering  (of coz not refering to this crap product) anything again from Amazon. Should have read the critical review first before purchase Sigh..........

My first review was not accepted. This piece of JUNK won't even turn on and amazon will not stand behind it!

I think this is the first time I have ever given 1 star to any product. something had to have been wrong with it. My USB ports on both desk and laptop PCs just didn't recognize the device (and yes, I had a Micro-SD card in the unit). In all fairness, it is not the seller's fault. They even offered to replace it. It was only one penny (even though shipping was considerably more). I ended up throwing it out.

Because if I did, I would want a refund. I don't like leaving bad reviews, and I almost always finish a book even if I I don't care for it, but this one was so bad I just couldn't finish it. I won't go into all of it because at this point I don't want to waste anymore of my time on this book, but to warn people not to waste your money.

If there was a way to give a lower rating I would.  I followed the directions to the letter.  Let me tell you exactly what I did.  I pulled my brand new Colorado in the garage and heated my garage up to 80 degrees.  Sanded down the bed, used a shop vac and wiped the bed down with Acetone.  Then I primed the entire bed and let it dry overnight in my heated garage at 80 degrees.  The next morning I put coat one on.  Was originally happy with the way the first coat went on, but it took 8 hours to fully dry.  I let the first coat fully dry and applied the second, wash, rinse, repeat.  4 layers 3 days in my garage at 80 degrees.  Then I let the bed sit out in the sun for a week before I set anything in it.  At first I thought all the negative reviews were unjustified, but then I actually started to use the bed.  The instructions say you need to wait 2 days for heavy duty use and one day for light duty.  I waited a week and I put a LAWN CHAIR in the bed very carefully and a section of the bed liner peeled up.  What the he!!??  So I touched up that spot and thought maybe I just found a week spot.  A week later I used the truck to haul some windows and building supplies up north.  The bed liner looked new when I started and by the end of the weekend I had several spots of the bed liner warn clean off.  I have decided not to bother touching up anymore until summer.  The last straw and the reason this review is so negative is the last time I used the bed of the truck.  I used the bed to haul a baby crib home in a cardboard box.  The one shining light of this bed was the tailgate because it held up so well on there.  I hauled a cardboard box home and it sat on the tailgate a little.  When I got home that wore off as well.  I literally followed the directions to the letter and it doesn't hold up to a cardboard box?  This company should NOT be allowed to market this as a truck bed liner the way they do.  Water cleanup is nice and was the reason I chose this product, but having used other products before I have to say this is by far the worst.  I wouldn't even feel confident putting a grocery bag in the bed of a truck lined with this garbage.  I will keep touching up the bed liner because it's already covering the entire bed of my truck so what choice do I have?  I will also be buying a bed mat because this does NOT hold up no matter how well you apply the product.

** update 12-2-2016 **

I wanted to update this review.  The bed liner appears to be holding up better now.  Only took  2 months to dry properly and several touch ups and re-coats.  I will continue to update this review.  I will also post pictures.  Perhaps in spring I will put yet another coat on and we will see how this holds up.  This product literally took 2 months to fully cure and harden now that it is I may actually be able to put a cardboard box in the bed of my truck without it peeling back.
