OK, so I have this on vinyl.  I bought it in 1986 and listened to it to no end.  These days I only spin once a year or so, but the CD will have its day and my wife will run in terror.

THis is by far one of the most important "techno-prog-metal" albums ever released.  I found it to be far too thin in production and tone, but hey, it was the eighties, the advent of MIDI and the day of ultra-thin guitar tones.  Perhaps the mastering on this CD will provide me with some unexpected surprises in that regard.  I was very let down when the vocalist left for Dangerous Toyz.  Did they spell that with a "z"?

Listening to this CD will give you a bridge, if you will, from classic 70's prog rock to the prog-techno-metal of today.  WatchTower was way ahead of the game.

I know I loved it, because I can't stop thinking about it. I can't stop going over a ton of scenes now that I know where it "went", and re-evaluating my initial reactions to those scenes. Reliving them, torturing myself over it. "PLEASE!!! Read this NOW." I have all these pent up feelings that are agonizing!!  I tossed and turned all night over this story. I'm exhausted, and I feel like I was thrown off of a runaway train. I was not ready for this story to end..  I want to know the rest....

I am blown away in a good way.... I actually had to put it down at times because  it was so intense and made me physically sick to my stomach at times, and I had to process what I was reading.  But IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW, all of it... seems as though Kolar has found the truth.... WOW......  read it you won't regret it that's really all I have to say... WOW......

Posting as Emily Benson, Caleb's wife. Okay, this thing is freaky. It is no joke a miracle worker. We have a 2yo golden who is a TERRIBLE walker. She's all over the place, pulling hard non-stop, into everybody's business. My husband trained our older golden, but I was home and supposed to work with our second one and failed miserably. Oops. I decided to try this out, desperate to save my shoulder sockets, but I did not have high expectations. Seriously, y'all, it is amazing. I tried it out for the first time yesterday and she is like a different dog! From the moment I put it on she was calm and walking right next to me or slightly behind me. She doesn't seem to mind it at all and she didn't pull AT ALL, not even once. I use a double leash for both dogs and even when our older golden got out in front of her (something the younger one usually will not tolerate), she stayed at the same pace, walking by my side. Seriously worth every penny!

I consider myself extremely lucky to have been given the chance to read the ARC for this book.

To say that I was blown away is an understatement....yes I am a fan of all her work and would read anything she sent me. HOWEVER, I am that reader that stays away from hard to read material typically; but I am so glad I didn't turn this one down. If you have read Underestimated or UT then you know her twist and turns of gut wrenching emotion already. I can't believe that I am about to say this but I might just love this one better than those...I know I know I am shaking my head too!!!

I don't ever write spoilers in my reviews because frankly I want you to feel every emotion I felt without knowing its coming. But take my word for it....you want to grab it the minute it comes out. I read it in ONE day because I couldn't get my mind off of it. I was literally rocking myself on the couch as I read and didn't even realize it until my husband asked me what the heck I was doing. It was my connection in the moment to Mack. I felt as if I was sitting right there with her heart broken that I couldn't fix it. No one truly ever knows the battles that others around them fight daily. Or how others actions impact our lives forever....but the old saying "the truth shall set you free" has never been more fitting than in this book.

One piece of advice...don't skip ONE tiny detail as you read. There will be times you think you know what is around the corner but believe me Jettie Woodruff doesn't ever let that happen. The detail is like none other I have read and I still feel the need for therapy.

It's simply an unbelievable read !!!!!!!

These people aren't kidding! My brother in law gave me a bottle one day. I could see the liquid was very pink. I thought it was flavored with pomegranate or something. So before i even opened it i started reading the label. It said the ingredients were 100% coconut water and nothing else. Now my interest was piqued. They have a little story about the company and their product. They went on to explain about the natural antioxidants and discoloration (pink) that occurs. Wow! Cool, I thought. There is ABSOLUTELY no possible way that it could get better than this. I couldn't believe how good this stuff was. I'm not exaggerating when I say I was shocked at the deliciousness. After that I went on a mission to find more. I went a little crazy. Most places only have a small amount because it is so perishable. Im not going to lie. The price shocked me as well---at first. It's worth every penny people! You don't have to over do it like me. (Hey my landlord can wait for the rent...right?) lol. If you go somewhere to get some and they are out of stock-sorry about that:( try Amazon) tehe

Wow!  I can't beleive it.  Dr. Vanderschraaf really gets your attention and never lets go throughout the entire book.  What a page turner!!  I just know that I won't be able to just read this one just once.  It's really amazing, and you won't believe the ending!  I don't want to spoil it, but be prepared for a major surprise.  Kudos to this fine author!  He really takes the subject and delivers it to the common reader.  Great read!

I must say that I was very surprised that the whole CD was unbelievable... not just tracks Sexy Back and What Goes Around that is now being played in most radio stations.  Every song was amazing, with great lyrics and jammin' beats.  It just underlines and reiterates the incredible artistic tales of this dude.  I will say that this is my first CD from him as I have bought only single tracks in the past - and definitely will not be the last.  Thanks Justin, for a totally kickin' and rockin' album.  LOOOOOOOVE it. Definitely blasting this on the way to Vegas!

My jaw dropped when I tore open the packaging to R.E.M.'s 15th album, Reveal.  I was so anxious, I've waited two years for this moment. I gasped when I saw the CD and I knew that captured within it were 12 brand new songs from Michael Stipe's trio.  I looked around for a place to play it in my car... oh no! no CD player in the car!! Darn!! This was during my lunch break at school.  I was THAT hyped.  So, I turned on my trusty discman.  and BOOM! The Lifting started, a totally different version then I was expecting.  Unlike the version on the Imitation of Life single, this one soars with a faster tempo and more spirited lyrics.  I've Been High was next, dropping the tempo down to a slower pace which continues through most of the album.  Michael's lyrics resonate through every single song on this beautiful composition. The whole attitude reminds me of New Adventure with minor keys, and just a generally darker sound (Listen to 'She Just Wants To Be' for a good idea of what I'm talking about).  This isn't a Document or Monster.  One song, 'Disappear' sounds suspiciously like 'Swan Swan H' from Life's Rich Pagent Every song is very very very good.  I only have one complaint, the drums.  They're not so good. For one, they're looped, two, they just don't seemed to have that 'Bill Berry' ring to them.  Thats kind of dissapointing.  You couldn't tell on 'Up' since there was very little percussion of any type.  The drums sound fake.  I know it was done out of necessity, but still... it could've been a heck of a lot better.  But I think overall, Michael's lyrics and the general arrangement of every note kicks the stuffing out of the problems with the drums.  R.E.M. returns to the front line music scene with this album.  This went way higher then anything I could've expected from R.E.M. Buy it as soon as you can.  You won't be sorry.

Ohhhh weeeee! This story has me speechless!! I love how everyone has a different story, but they're all tied together. I thought I had it figured out in book 1, but by the time I got to the end, I started second guessing myself. When I started on 2, I was slowly putting it together. Going over every detail. Needless to say, I got it now! You want to know what's really going on?? I know you do, but I'm not telling. Lo.  No spoilers here!

I swear I have no freaking clue what is happening.

I don't know whether or not that is a good thing or a bad thing! I feel turned around and upside down and maybe I am the one who is crazy. WHAT THE F*!K IS HAPPENING?!

I think normally I would be irritated and angry at the the repetitiveness and back and forth of things in a book. I did hit a point of aggravation during Verum, but I think it mostly had to do with Calla and her wishy-washy attitude towards Dare (still hate that he is called that, so I still just call him Adair). I was also aggravated with how long it took things to finally start to unravel. The book was slow going for me at the beginning, and I didn't like how it picked up after a cliffhanger. I got over that though.

I was easily annoyed with all of the "secrets" floating around that no one would help her with. But I am okay with that aggravation because I think I am supposed to feel that way, because its how she felt. So that makes sense. Once these supposed secrets do start to be revealed, and you think you understand whats going on, you're like, okay... cool. All has been revealed. Got it. BUT NOOOOOOOOOOOOO. It's like the reader is meant to lose their grasp on reality right along with her. Because as of right now, I am not sure if what happened at the end will end up being real later on either.

Again, this ended on quite the cliffhanger. So be prepared for that! I keep having these moments where I am not sure whether or not I even like Calla! I do have some guesses as to what the secrets to be revealed in the final book (which comes out at the end of October!) will be. I may have a review for that up before release, so keep an eye out.

Can't wait to see how she manages to wrap up this insanity!

You'll have to forgive me, I'm a bit behind the news these days and just saw this little girl on Yahoo as a news item--as her new Christmas ep debuts at #2. So, being a fan of female singers (I'm a huge Celine Dion fan) I was intrigued and went to Amazon to see if I can find it. One word: Speechless. Amazing. Unbelievable. I'm simply stunned. You have to remind yourself that this is a CHILD singing. A child! It's very weird. She does not sing like a "child." And opera no less?!! Let's all hope she's NOT a Lady Gaga fan!

Omg!!!!! I love this. At first I couldn't grasp the concepts  but the it was like an "aha" moment and everything fit into place.  I am not even half way through the book but I just had to tell u how much this resonates. It is like "someone" gets me. Thank for your gift
