Going outside is overrated.

This book is captivating and does a phenomenal job at pulling the reader in. I could not put it down at the end!! I would recommend this book to all of my video game, D&D, and 80's pop culture nerd friends and share this wonderful story with them!

It's no Girl on the Train - which was no Gone Girl.  So it's pretty far downhill from there.  The chapters are written from the various characters point of view which is confusing at first until you get them all straight.  Even then, the characters are not that sympathetic.  And all the talk about the water and drowning in it gets very old.  Then there's the ending - after slogging through all that it should be more satisfying.

There's roughly 30 seconds of good shooting and a whole lot of walking and talking. It's basically a really unnecessary hike.

The reason why the PC crowd reacted so badly was due to sheep mentality and the over-expectations of teens and young adults, which is easy to endue with any form of 'hype. In reality, the graphics are amazing in high resolution with max settings. The open world is also very nice, designed for using the environment. Fanboys will brag about GTA V graphics, style, and open country sides and its story, but it's a subjective opinion. Watch Dogs has suburbs away from ctOs and plenty of grassy areas with trees. Open country side like GTA would serve 0 purpose for gameplay in Watch Dogs. Also, I find GTA is more for brodudes. Nothing but senseless robbing and violence as every other GTA with a lot of goofy parodies that lost their magic very quickly. It tries too hard, in my opinion. And the sheeple eat it up.

Watch Dogs brings an entirely unique experience with hacking. The story is not boring and dry. A bit short, yes, but multiplayer and side missions extend gameplay for 10s of hours. If you rush through the main campaign and find it boring, of course you did. It gets tiring to play through the campaign for hours on end, making the player grow apathetic. It also makes it harder to get into multiplayer and side missions, if that's all you concern yourself with. People are extremely lacking in imagination. The list of zany things I've done to mess with and beat people online is long, and very entertaining. GTA is a snooze-fest. Same old song and dance. It's all subjective but, I view you all with unnecessarily widespread and mean-spirited hatred to Watch Dogs as the equivalent of those that think Big Bang Theory is an amazing 5* show.

Also to note, enabling E3 graphics only makes the game ugly. As does EFX. Having insane amounts of motion blur and throwing a coating of black tar on the city at night, does not look good. You were fooled by needless complaining to want E3 graphics, which while some things about it were nice like rain effects, is not worth it at all. If someone snuck onto your PC and lowered a few settings by one grade, you would likely never notice the difference. This to me, relates to people's preference of overall inferior E3 graphics.

I like the edger wheel and it does its job along sidewalks etc however, the weedeating is just not up to par.  It takes Several passes over the same area to get it cut and i don't let my grass get tall at all.
As a single mom, i thought this would be enough but just not quite.
I guess you get what you pay for :(

I've been reading outdoor photography for years and unfortunately it's at the point were it provides maybe a 40/60 split of substance to advertisements.  And even a portion of the substantive items are reviews pushing ( in my opinion) products.  When you can read most of the magazine via their website and blog this really is a waste of money.  Try something else like shutterbug or just visit online sites for the outdoor photographer which I find are better.

Maybe this is a hiking book for non-hikers. I have to say, she causes herself a completely undue amount of stress by hiking with a way too big pack and too small shoes and subsequently the trail is really nothing but pain to her and the best parts are the off trail stuff and people. I just really don't understand that as an avid hiker myself. I enjoyed Bill Bryson's book about the Appalachian trail much more. Sorry, but Cheryl comes off as whiny. Shit happens to everyone and while it's good that she broke away from heroin by hiking the trail, it's still really frustrating to read this when she doesn't appreciate that not everyone has the luxury to go hike for weeks on end to find themselves.

I should have listened to other reviews before buying this, but was feeling pressured to add something to my cart in order to get the free shipping as the battery on my computer was dying (one of the items I was ordering was a replacement charging cable because mine had just been broken) so I rushed into the purchase.

Big mistake! As others have noted, this book may be useful for outdoors-impaired city slickers. But chances are, if you have become familiar with any slightly outdoorsy activities in you life, you will find the suggestions made by the authors essentially useless. I had been hoping to at least find some creative new recipes, crafts, games, activities, SOMETHING I had never thought of before. Alas, there was nothing interesting or novel to be found in this book, and I looked thoroughly from cover to cover.

Literally everything in there is the most basic "duh!" kind of things to do outside. I guess if you've never left the limits of a paved city environment, you might need to be told how to catch butterflies, make snow angels, or collect leaves. My family however, are expert outdoorsers by this book's standards. I'm pretty sure my oldest kid had done everything in here by the time she was five...

Seriously, if you and/or your kids have ever ventured past your own sidewalk more than once, don't bother with this one. If you really need some new ideas for having fun in nature, do what I did and just look it up on Google or Pinterest. It's a few bucks cheaper and will likely give you much better results anyway...

This album gets so much crap about being overrated that all the good about it becomes tainted. From "Teen Spirit" to "Something In The Way" there's not a bad song in between. Nuff said...

This book was intensely boring. It had no soul to it. There were no uplifting or touching moments, where this woman actually reflects on nature and her own inner struggle. It's all about how to physically get past the limitations of the rigorous hike she's on. At the end, you do feel like she's changed but it's only implied, really. I just don't get the hype at all.

As often as I try, I simply cannot understand the hype for this overrated, so-called classic. The book may have been a treat (I've not read it), the movie is a trick. Too much Hanks and too much repetition of action thinly disguised as something different. Calling it a Christmas classic is a disservice to both the word "classic" and the true meaning of Christmas. It is more an ode to toys, toys and more toys and mind numbing roller coaster rides called action.

I don't see why all of the reviews thought that this game was great. The game mainly consists of a bunch of wandering around and once you actually go into the hell type of environment there is very little variety on the monsters and it is way to hard. Also I think that the inventory system is clunky. Pretty much a general rule that I follow anymore is that any game that is touted for having the best graphics on the market is usually just a piece of eye candy with nice visuals but boring game play that gets old very fast.

the range advertised is grossly overestimated. Also natural obstacles like hill or trees render the antenna completely inoperable.

Starts out really fun for the first week. After playing it for awhile it gets kind of old real FAST. Sure it lets u go to colledge and adds a few new clothes, but i think its overrated

It's ok. Kids got bored after one game.  The low rating is to counter the overrated.

First of all, let's talk about me. I'm French and I speak french and english. I love underground hip-hop and Big Dada or Ninja Tune stuff. I am diggin' in the archives of hip hop everyday to discover some new marvellous artists. But, let me tell you that this French group is REALLY overrated. Indeed, when I bought "Batards Sensibles", I thought it could be an enjoyable stuff because it was on Big dada. What a mistake! I'me French so I understand all the lyrics. You think it's an intelligent hip-hop here? not at all. It's not really far from the gangsta crap. Yeah, those guys keep talkin' about dirty sex, bitches and other things like dat without smoothness( Girlfriend, Sang Sur Le Dancefloor..). I don't know why but everybody says that they are GREAT! and during this time they are spitin' on 50cent and other guys with a negative message. why? because I think a lot of people think that TTC are on Big Dada! so..they must be GREAT!  Or because people don't understand what TTC are talkin' about, or just because they think TTC are just jokin'...Yes, okay, TTC want to change the world of hip-hop with a huge dose of humor, but sorry, TTC don't make me laugh..event not smile. Giant Panda or Starving Artists Crew make me smile..but TTC make me sleep. Let's talk about the production...what cheesy beats here! Really boring...and overmore, the flow of the MCs are irritating. "Ceci n'est pas un disque" was better. The production was okay, and the lyrics were more "intelligent", more "decent", and perhaps more "philosophical".

Batards sensibles is a waste of time and money. Don't forget that hip-hop can be different, but different Hip Hop not means obligatorily GOOD Hip Hop. Batards Sensible is the perfect example of the sometimes overrated underground scene.

If you want to buy a Good underground hip-hop CD from french artists with a decent message, buy "La Cdille".

I like the idea of the waterproof walk around all day boot. This is not it. The boot has to many points that flex and rub on the sides of your foot and up the leg. If someone was walking around for a couple hours on flat ground these would be great but if you going up and downhill and plan to wear them all day this is not the boot for that. I walk in the mountains a lot and tried these boots a dozen times. None of them ended well.
