Stranded left me 'stranded'

So many characters!  So many different story lines.  Really took a long time to get to the main plot.  Wouldn't waste my time reading this book.

To get it home and drive it, after 5 hrs. It started missing very bad, stranding is for hrs. Seems the codes were not entered into the ATV at pickup.

This is the first Idlewild CD I have brought, having heard 'You Held the World' single, and I listenewed through the album, thinking all the songs were amazing, until it suddenly stopped and I realised the album had ended! 38:30 mins really isn't enough for a CD, it's a shame this will drag the CD down so much

It had been a long time since I'd read anything. Started several books in the last year but never finished any. From the first page, I craved each word on each page. Longed for a free moment in my hectic schedule that I could steal away time to be alone in this journey. A wreck myself, I devoured this story like I was the one starving and stranded, searching for the way out. I didn't want it to end. I am encouraged, and filled with hope. I will read this book again & again.

I bought this game a couple weeks ago with one aspect in mind, the multi-player. After the fiasco last night, I'm not sure this game will live up to it's potential. My friends could not stay connected for an entire quest. At certain points during the quest we would be unable to act due to lag. I'm hoping that this is a temporary issue, otherwise, I feel like I wasted my money. If you are considering this game, keep in mind that if it were functioning properly, I probably would be having a lot of fun with it. The single player is also decent, and I may play through it.

I was enjoying the game, but I got stuck in one place and could not move forward.  The hint given did not work for me despite
many attempts.  I also checked walkthroughs and cheats without success.  I hate it when I buy a game that I cannot finish.

I would like it more if I wasn't stuck and have no clue what to do next, lol.

Completed one game out of 6 tries. Alexa kept getting stuck and telling me to say Undo (went back a question) or Restart (yep, restarted entire game).  Alexa would sometimes tell me to "say depends" or "say irrelevant" when it got stuck, but I think that didn't help because although that did move her on, it was not the right answer and led her in the wrong direction. Needs work.

After leaving this on my car all winter, it didn't keep the battery charged. I thought it may have been my hook up but I asked a shop to show me how to connect and it wouldn't work for them either. I'm hoping for a response here to try to replace this item as link to return is no longer active.

I'm sorry. I couldn't do it. At first, it was the writing. The over abundance of adjectives. I couldn't make sense of this sentence: "He watched the wave steepen, the wind lines near the lip combing the sky, painting an arch of dark rainbow hues far above his yacht's mast." Maybe it was me? But I thought I would try to stick it out a bit longer.

However, when the character on the deck of his yacht does not go overboard and survives a 7 story wave, while his boat does not fare so well?!?! Oh, wait. A few sentences later, it's a 70 foot wave? Or maybe that's a different wave? I can't suspend belief enough to carry on.

It generally felt like the author was trying too hard. It felt tedious, and as a result I was bored and wanted to rush past all the flowery adjectives to get to the point. Which seems silly to me, because there was plenty of action as Mr. Jethro Knights was in the middle of a spectacular storm.

Me thinks, this just isn't my cup of tea. Sorry, sir.

When I received this product, I was excited. It seemed durable and road-trip ready.  However, One quarter of the way through my trip, I ran into a rainstorm. I pulled off at a rest area after it passed to see if my cargo had stayed dry. I did not want my clothes getting moldy if the cargo carrier had failed to perform as promised.  Sure enough, everything was soaking wet.

A few days ago I left my lights on for about 20 minutes (second time in a few weeks) and my battery was completely dead. I spent hours looking for someone with jumper cables, so I decided to carry a jump pack again. I planned on getting a new battery, but I don't like the idea of being that situation again. I really hated the idea since I don't want to carry a giant plastic box in the back of my car at all times. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad if I had a truck, but with a hatchback it's pretty ugly and likely to be sliding around back there.

I happened to find this jump pack while searching and initially thought it was a mistake and the search was just showing me things to charge my phone/laptop/whatever small electronics device. I was more than a little surprised to see that they were advertising this as a product to jump start a car. I bought it fully expecting it to not work and that I would have to return it (not a scary proposition with Amazon's return policy). So, I put off getting a new battery until I tested this.

So, it arrived earlier this evening and I decided to really test it. I left my lights on until they were completely dark and the electric unlock on the key fob was no longer working. Tried to start the car and confirmed it was dead. I hooked up my little jump pack (after charging my phone on it for about 30 minutes to emulate actual use) and had no trouble jumping my car off. It didn't start up like it had a full battery, but it started up with only a very slight whimper. I immediately turned my car off and drained what little charge had built up (only about 5 minutes of the brights being on) and tried the pack again without charging it and, sure enough, it jumped the car off without an issue.

I didn't bother trying a third time, but two jumps on one charge would be plenty. It takes forever to charge, but jumping my car off twice and charging my phone for 30 minutes only drained about half the charge, according to the lights on the side.

I will not be returning this product; definitely 100$ well spent.

I suppose Kidnapped, which was written to be an adventure story for young boys, may have seemed very exciting and adventurous at the time it was originally published.  However, in spite of my love of the classics I just couldn't finish this one.  I managed to make it through 5 of the 7 CDs and then gave up.

The story starts out well enough, with David Balfour's journey to his uncle's house, the weirdness he encounters there, and his subsequent "kidnapping" and transport to a ship bound for America.  Even the shipboard mutiny, storm, and shipwreck off the coast of Scotland were interesting.  However, from that point the story descends into political tedium, as David journeys through Scotland, which was at that time engulfed in a lingering political turmoil in the aftermath of the Jacobite rebellion.  At some point I realized I had completely lost track -- and interest -- in what was going on, and quit listening.

Michael Page is an excellent narrator -- he did a wonderful job on The Scarlet Pimpernel, for instance.  But even his skilled narration couldn't rescue this one.

This game was fun until I got to Rivendell and I couldn't find Gimli. I had read this was a bug and I thought I was prepared because he was supposed to be in a certain location that I read about online, but he wasn't there! I could not leave Rivendell and then I found another bug where if I dropped items and left the room they simply disappeared in Rivendell. I couldn't continue and was very frustrated. Up to then I thought the game was cool. Now I'm very unhappy.

I don't hate it because it didn't work, I hate it because I was not able to use it as it does not fit my vehicle. Set me back by a week, and I'm in school, I can't afford to be stranded. Not cool.
