Should be a 4 star, but gave it a 5.

These are good, but lately I have noticed they don't put quite the amount of chicken in, and the rawhide is thicker.  I give these to my little Yorkie, them and the Dingo Goof Balls are the only treats he will have.  They are still good, just not quite as good as they used to be.

If there were a little more action. It would be a 5.

Before I detail why this book was a 3-star for me, I have to say I did enjoy it - very much. The story was compelling, and I didn't correctly predict the killer. The characters were well-drawn. The suspense was tense enough to keep me up reading past my bedtime and made for a satisfying read. If a sequel comes out, I'll probably read it, because I'd like to know more about the male protagonist's search for his birth family.

What made it a 3-star were some inconsistencies in plot and some formatting issues that made one of the later chapters a chore to read. Nothing a second copyedit and reformatting wouldn't correct. There was also a bit of head-hopping, but not enough to have knocked off a star without the other issues. If not for that, I'd heartily recommend this book with at least 4 stars, possibly even 5.

So I decided to order this because of the good warranty reviews I've read through here.  I received this today and of course I couldn't wait to get it out of the box and try it.  I like the product but I can't find a way to give it 4 or 5 stars.  Below are my reasons:

As we all read in the description, it works off of 4 AA batteries.  Yes, it't is a bit heavier on the back of you head making the weight distribution so uneven.  I wished they could have made the battery a lithium that's rechargeable that way it's lighter a bit.
The battery cover is just a molded silicon type rubber making the battery pack weather resistant to a certain degree at most..not waterproof (maybe the LED housing, but I'm not going to try and find out)
When I hear/read "impact-resistant", I think of a sealed unit with paddings inside..like a Pelican case.  I don't think the battery pack is since the battery is only covered by a soft silicon type rubber "boot".  If this drops, those batteries are going to dislodge.  Again, maybe only the LED housing is impact-resistant.

These two are what bothers me the most.
  The wire from the battery to the LED...it's not that soft, so it can't really bend the way you want it.  I wished they could have made it into the coiled/retracting type which leads to the annoyance.  The securing clip this came with is not the same as pictured (picture of what I have included).  Since the wire is a bit stiff, it keeps coming off of the clips so it ends up hooking my ear.  Speaking of clips, I wished it came with the strap clips that can secure it to a hard hat which I'll be using this on.  Instead, I'll just have to use some velcro to attach it onto my hard had.  I would like to remove the straps for my installation and just have the light housing secured in front and the battery pack on the back with a high strength velcro, but there is no way of removing the lamp/batt.pack unless it is unclipped from the base and utilizing the base for a bigger surface area is ideal so that it actually holds better.  To utilize the base without the straps means cutting the straps off and that can void the warranty (maybe).

The GOOD thing about it is that it's BRIGHT! Even at low setting it's bright enough to do your work.  The bands are comfortable except for the added weight of the battery. The headlamp is low profile.  Last but not least...the Warranty.  I hope I wouldn't have to use it ;-)

11/19/15:  I've used this headlamp extensively since I got it..from being out in the woods, working on my vehicle, walking the dogs...One thing I haven't done which was the main reason I got this, was use it with my hardhat.  It's just too heavy...so I ordered a different brand light (looks so much similar to this but cheaper by half) that I used on my hardhat instead.  And since I was able to use the other one without the headband (secured it with velcro) and the wires on it was coiled, I took the wire clip on the new one and used it on this one.  I also rerouted the wire to run on the top band instead of the side to keep it out of the way.  Another thing I have noticed with this is that the ON/OFF switch has such little resistance that it easily turns on just by getting bumped which happened a lot when I was working underneath my vehicle.  So yeah, my 3 stars is going to stay since I have to mess with it to make it work.

Could easily been a 5 star, it will not lay flat when I'm at my computer. I had a print shop shave off the spine and add a three hole punch.

As stated ... A 5 star rating would be if it would vacuum its self :-)

This book had a great premise, very good characterization, and a great plot for about the first 2/3. Call me old-fashioned, though, but I like my fiction reading to have a better resolution than this one had. Very much worth reading, but it fell a little short of being great to me.

It met my expectations for the most part. It would of got a 5 if it would of been filled.

Very good to excellent writing (but not always). Very good story stretched maybe a little too far. Still, a solid 4 stars.

Works great, missing a star because I had too Make Improvements... Other wise it's Great

Hundreds of reviews on this book. Would have given it 4 stars if some of the minutiae was less filling, and if there had a been an Epilogue about his return to Earth. Character is a bit thin, very fortuitous/Pollyanna like, and not quite as fulfilling as it could have been, imo.  The multi-nation rescue is a bit over the top, (in terms of capabilities even in the next couple decades), and the harsh language seemed almost 'inserted' for effect vs how people really swear to themselves.  Good Read, though.

If I were to rate the quality of the writing and editing, this book would rate five stars. Unfortunately, an enjoyable novel needs a bit more than that. I was very disappointed in the ending of the first book of this series, and the second, for some unaccountable reason, has an equally unbelievable ending. I am not sure why Sarabande (Cline) has such a problem in this area. I can't be more specific without a major spoiler.
But this is not the only problem with this second novel in the First American series. True, the writing is excellent and the narrative gives a profound sense of place. The dialogue seems to fit very well. So what is wrong?
All I can say that I had to work to finish the novel. The plot seemed to spin its wheels and get pretty much nowhere, as it it simply filled out space until the main characters can start to make their way across the Bering Straits into North America through the Corridor of Storms. But worse, the main characters seemed to shrink. Torka, the great hunter and inventor of the atlatl, the Man Who Walks With Dogs, seemed oddly diminished and passive-aggressive. Lonit, though showing some moments of courage and fire, seemed to be whiny and maudlin for most of the novel, and Karana seemed to morph into a teen-aged brat. I suddenly realized that I did not really like any of them very much and no longer cared what happened to them. Navahk was revealed as a villain of stature, an evil, memorable character, but a good tale needs more than larger-than-life enemy. I will start the third novel in the hope that the old Torka, Lonit, and Karana reappear and I can regain some interest in their struggles.

The book was very readable with a very good story and some interesting characters. I guess my problems with the book were two fold. One, there seemed to be times when the author was simply filling up space, could have gotten to the point much quicker in some chapters. Secondly, after reading awhile you knew the outcome was going to be positive. It was almost like the old melodramas where the hero shows up at the last minute to save the heroine in distress.

the overall structure of the story is good, though I strongly belief fleshing out some scenes would have done wonders for this story. there is nothing wrong with have a fast pace, but in this particular story the start felt a bit jumbled as we meet danny gearing up to have his place sorted out for selling it since he's moving in with his GF. wrong, she drops by and simply tells him they're no longer together. he takes this very hard and it's his new neighbor gavin that picks him up. i have to agree with the other reviews that this is more or less one of the issues. there can be instant attraction but i feel that this just goes a bit beyond normal. danny being an emotional wreck and suddenly he's feeling interest in gavin? should have given that a bit more time and worked with the conflict that the situation brings, specially in the Podunk town they live in.
there are witnesses to the attack and they don't press charges? tsssk a lot of drama that could have been used to build a lot more character for both danny and gavin.
the story itself is well written and is a nice fast read when you have a break. once they worked out where they're going it felt a lot more real.

I had hoped to really love this monitor, but it doesn't quite land in the 5 star "perfect" range for me.  It is quite nice, but not without a couple of areas where I hope the manufacturer makes some improvements.

First up, trying to find the proper driver to make sure that you can enable the promised FreeSync mode wasn't as easy as it should have been.  Perhaps because I got the monitor before it was officially released, but I would like to have thought that the manufacturer would have had things on their website before shipping the device out to anyone.  Information on the interwebs indicated that in order to get the most from this monitor customers would likely need to find beta drivers, though I didn't find those drivers as easily as others might have.  What this all tells me and should tell potential customers is that customers may find themselves having to search the web a bit to find information that should be on the manufacturer's website or included in the box on documentation that one might expect to find there.  Granted, again, the manufacturer may change things over time, but the box arrived with little or no documentation within, though it did include a monitor that felt, well, a little "beefy".  In my case, it replaced at 22" monitor, so it wasn't a huge difference in screen size and yet it does occupy more desk space than the monitor it replaced.

This G2460PF monitor offers plenty of ports for connections of just about any type you might want to use.  One item of note though is that if you intend to take advantage of the FreeSync feature you'll need to connect (at least at the time I was last researching it) via Display Port.

I have to note that I found this monitor very, very, very bright when it comes to the whites and bright colors compared to the Acer monitor that I replaced.  I was able to adjust the brightness for the display driver and that brought things back to a more normal range but before that it almost felt like I was getting lazer eye surgery just from trying to read the screen.  Once the colors and brightness were adjusted to my taste (through the Radeon display driver I use), I was much happier.

24 inches of display is a pretty nice range to be in.  It offers a fair amount of real estate to move windows around within and that can quickly spoil you.

For me, this device sits with 4 solid stars.  It is nice, and I'd certainly consider purchasing another or possibly a batch of monitors just like it for my work place if possible.  With some more obvious documentation and device support (such as providing *all* drivers, and including documentation within the driver files that can be downloaded, in an easy to find location on the the device support page) this device might sneak its way up into 5 star territory for me.

This is alLright, but I was a bit disappointed. Hence the 4 stars.

Would have given this 5 stars, but a flaw prevented me from doing so. I'm pretty sure it was just a machining error, and not a regular problem, but it did hit a little. To me it was kind of big. (With at least) the plate I received didn't fit correctly around the USB ports and cut off access to the top two ports. I could see that the holes for the tabs would not allow the joints through as they did on the other side. Tried as I could, no matter how, it would not sit right on that side. I had no issues with the side on the other end. After playing with it for about 5-10 minutes trying to get it to align properly, trying different ways of putting it on, I heard a crack and the shield cracked on both ends. right around the holes.

Now this fixed the issue and finally allowed the item to sit right and give me access to the ports, but at the same time, its cracked and not too secure.

(and yes I put them on the top first, then squeezed the bottoms to allow it to slide in. I just think the holes were either cut in the wrong place, or wrong size.
