To day something like this would not happen, but in the days this move is in, it was common. What people will do to try to make themselfs happy. Like they say, the grass is always greener on the other side!

Came with an annoyingly large assortment of bands. Main complaint, is its hard to find one for the job you want, as their are just so many in the bag.

Not as happy with this as I was hoping to be. Can only get a few channels and then have to move it around to get those.

Very brief. Some good scenery. Not enough on historic buildings/architecture. And I actually found the female guide  snotty and sometimes downright rude. I am surprised I feel that way,but she was pretty irritating. Kind of smug. If I was lucky enough to be visiting/describing Paris,I think I would be less irritating and much more delighted in what/who I was looking at.

I don't like hurting people's feelings,but I found myself actually talking back to the screen a few times in almost anger.

Could be just me,but different strokes and all.

I'm sure there must be a lot of Paris travel guides on DVD that are better than this one. I'll keep looking.

I have to admit I was quite disappointed, for the same reasons many others were.  It was hard for me to visualize some of the places the author was talking about without maps or diagrams instead of "head over to....".  I also wasn't very impressed with most of the photos.  For me, this book really wasn't that inspiring.  I'll keep looking.

This was not what I expected, so I'm not too happy with one.

The idea is that a news reporter is visiting a nation founded by Oregon, Washington, and northern California.  The nation is a green, back to nature, dream.  Solar power, deer hunting, no paint and few plastics, everything needs to be stable, friendly to nature.  And you better be happy.  BE HAPPY!
The government seems to be totalitarian state run by women with some men.  They keep the USA out by threatening to explode nuclear mines in our major cities and having lots and lots of surface to air missiles.  The main character decides to stay in this society.  And who would of guessed.  After all, back in the USA he just had a girlfriend he used for sex, a broken marriage, and tons of responsibility.  Oh, and he isn't happy.  And he started smoking pot the second he entered the nation.
Half of the book seems to be lectures.  Lots of lectures.  And joy.  Lots of happy, joyful hugging and emotional meetings.  Like it or not you WILL get hugged.  Private emotions?  Those are for OTHER people.
In the end the characters were not realistic, the system seemed to have too many holes and the story telling...well, there really was no story telling.  Frankly, the society seemed more like a new age hippy cult and not one I would even want to visit.

Hello, this is quite the collection of short stories.  These stories don't necessarily hold to the same theme.  Most of the stories are quite dark and do not have a happy ending.  Thanks.

I was a bit disappointed in this one. It's not as nice in person as the photos appear. The prongs are scratchy as well.  But, perhaps some may like it.  These are the risks we take with online ordering.

I have gone through half of them to put information on and two of them so far have proven to be bad. Not happy about tht. Not sure if the others are good yet waiting to see.

They are OK but not really well-stuffed in the center. Tufting in 4 places are close together and there is more stuffing on the sides than the center.

I don't know if it's just me, and I apparently hate old photos, or if it's these photos, but these aren't really what I wanted at all. I suppose I expected more somber expressions, and almost every, single, one is smiling and happy. I was hoping to use them for a project but couldn't find any I liked.

I gave them three stars because they WERE as advertised, so.

They arrived in perfect condition, they are very durable, I just can't use them.

Many of the parts and pieces do not fit together well. Some are too short such as the front bottom "bar." Others are too big such as the back panels. We are still not sure if we can make all the parts and hardware work. Might be returning this product.

The bags are ok.  Many of them are misshapen or dirty.  So definitely not great.  I'd say that I get maybe 75% usable bags out of an order.  So rather expensive when that's taken into account.

Want to meet a bunch of very unhappy people, but not in person, just on the page? Then Mary-Beth Hughes' "Double Happiness" is for you.
She has a wonderful style of writing. And that I greatly admire.
However, I could only take one story at a time simply because I have a difficult time dealing with depression. And it seems to me that everyone of her characters is depressed, unable to connect with anyone else.
Grief permeates this book which, by the way, is not a novel as some reviewers claim.
What I really wanted to do was give it a five-star for the quality of the writing. And a one-star for the lack of pleasure this book of stories gave this reader.
I know! I know! Reading shouldn't be only about feel-good stuff. But couldn't Ms. Hughes have given me just one story in which the characters are not depressed and disconnected from others?

Kind of depressing; certainly not the England I've known and loved. The changes (historical sites, pubs, museums) are not what I want to hear, but then everything changes... Seems the British have become very "americanized" and that's disappointing. My Bryson doesn't seem all that pleased either, though his writing skills are excellent, just wish Bill's 'visit' was more uplifting. I've changed my mind about going back to England, thanks to this book. Guess I'll keep my date with Ireland...
