I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book!  It kept me wanting more with each turn of every page.  I am highly anticipating and awaiting the next book.  Mark, you have done an exceptional job with The Fisherman!  I applaud your writing abilities and skills.  Continue to shine and rise high to the occasion as a very accomplished writer.  God bless and be with you always!!

I'm sure that all of my real-life and even my Facebook friends are tired of hearing me gush about this show, but I absolutely love it. The storylines are great, the characters well-developed and realistic, the actors are great, and the visual impact on the screen is simply fantastic. The last point blows me away - every frame, every scene is a work of art! You will not regret becoming addicted to this show, except for the withdrawal that occurs when you've watched and rewatched every episode.
Fully justifies spending $99 bucks on Amazon Prime!

What a game! Ridiculously addicting and fun for any age. It's a unique game, it has a Sims feeling to it yet it is first person. The soundtrack was great as well, it set the mood to keep on playing for hours. I downloaded the soundtrack to have it on my Ipod on the go, that good!

This is an amazing game!! This was a Christmas gift for my 9 year old but 13 year old & I enjoy playing it as much as he does!! Finally, a game the entire family can enjoy that isn't silly or boring. There are many characters to choose from & many "chapters" so it's nearly impossible to get bored. It has a similar feel to World of Warcraft (only this game is totally child-appropriate!). It's always a little different, depending on which character you choose, and the game will tell you "a character from the (Fire, Water, Tech, etc) Element will be stronger here". That's not to say you can't use the other characters (we don't have any characters from 3 of the Elements at this point but we still went through those gates), it's just that those characters from those Elements will be a bit stonger. Basically, it's challenging enough that it's not boring or too easy, but it's not overly difficult either (which is often the case with my 13 year old's game, never mind that some of them aren't exactly apporpriate for my 9 year old). To be very honest, I'm having a ton of fun playing this with him, and there aren't many games that I've not had to fake that I was having a good time. If you're going to spend money on a video game, spend it on this one. You won't be sorry!

I came across this book by accident and I'm so glad I did. This story is so addictive and the characters (I felt I knew them) & plot are so well written. Once I started reading, I couldn't stop :) The main characters in the story are so involved and complex, not at all like some of the other 'fluff' books that are out at the moment. There is certainly some surprises through out the book and the authors keep you intrigued with different stories within the main story. I like that the book is not short and there is going to be a sequel, can't wait for that.

Action:  Takes some getting used to.  You have to fight on two screens at once, as well as use both touch screen and d-pad controls.  Battles are chaotic and hectic in the best way possible.  It does get easier with practice, though.

Difficulty:  There are four levels (easy, normal, hard, and ultimate) at which you can play any battle.  Also, enemies drop different things depending on the difficulty level at which you play them, so don't expect to play through solely on one difficulty level.  (very clever, square.)

Replay value:  Amazing!  I flew through the game because I was so addicted, and then there was another game's worth of features after the main story was done!  This has the highest replay value of any game I have ever encountered.

Overall style:  Unique, eye-catching, and addictive.  The combination of graffiti-style art, Japanese street style, and chaotic battles never leaves your eyes wanting.  The art is beautiful and fun, and the graphics are at the perfect level for the DS as a portable console.  You will never feel like you are being shorted by the game being on a smaller console.

I don't want to ruin anything, but you HAVE to play through the extra chapter at the end, because the characters make fun of each other & the game stops taking itself so seriously.  It's hilarious.

Absolutely a wonderful game.  I recommend this to all my friends with a DS, and I will continue to play until I get everything! :)

I don't have Showtime (or cable for that matter), but after having great luck with The Sopranos I decided to give this series a spin. I don't know why, but it is very addicting! I watched all 14 episodes in about 3 or 4 days. Very original ideas, a very good cast that you grow attached too, and some touching moments as well all add up to good fun.
The series is not perfect but I found myself forgiving any faults because the good far outweighs the bad. The only disappointments I had were: the special features are lacking, and one of the episodes (i think it is 12) is practically nothing but flashbacks, so if you watch this series in a matter of days like I did (and you will want to) then you will spend most of the time watching this episode either bored or fast forwarding - I don't think this was necessary at all for a show in its first season - but even allowing for these slight negatives I give Dead Like Me 5 stars!

I have been completely and utterly gripped- I'm fully invested in the characters- rooting for them, crying with them, screaming in my head for them! I am a veracious reader- reading almost constantly during every available minute, and these books have only made my addiction worse. The ONLY downside is waiting for the next book to come out, which I hope it does soon because I can't think of anything (you know beyond feeding the kids, work and life stuff) other than what is coming next for these people. I highly recommend the books, but be sure you've got the time to sit down and really read- because once you start you really don't want to do much else, which makes driving a dangerous prospect, lol. I know some others had issues with the editing or lack thereof, but honestly for me this in no way detracted from the overall story, I was so caught up in the events, characters, etc. that my mind just auto corrected and carried on, the editing issues do lessen with each book though so for those of you it does bother, it will improve. Overall, a truly gripping story, a great build (and for a change I really don't see to what- a frustrating but pleasant change), and engaging characters that I became deeply invested in.

The game is absolutely sensational; its main drawback is that it is so addictive you might end up spending too much time playing it.

The only thing I would have liked (and the reason for which I gave it 4 stars) is a better choice of songs --- I know copyright issues were probably important here, but there are so many songs that are much more popular than many of the included ones. This is partially solved by the extension packs (or the soon-to-be-released Rock Band 2, which is a different game but is compatible with Rock Band 1 hardware), but even on those the song selection is not better, it's just that you have more to choose from.

Doesn't look like it but it's extremely addictive.

I'm used to not agreeing with the masses; I never have, really. My tastes by far in everything from cuisine to music to film to home decoration to the mid-level luxury import I drive almost always end up hovering way above what most people content themselves with striving after or holding in high regard, so I was expecting to be part of a smaller group of society that 'gets' SPORE. But this is ridiculous! I've never seen a situation like this! I happily browsed over to amazon.com to rate the game and was just shocked to see the thousands of low ratings out there. I'd really like to get some demographics on the naysayers - I'm just baffled!

I LOVE this game. I've had it for three days now and I can hardly put it down. It's fascinating. I've enjoyed every stage so far. OK, sure, it's not terrifically challenging, but it's highly entertaining! It's relaxing! It's inspiring! It's beautiful to look at (on a high-end machine like mine). I just don't see what's not to love. The near-limitless variance in what possible outcomes could arise from playing a different race under different circumstances and style are just mind-boggling and I'm already looking forward to starting a new Civilization (I'm on my first). Perhaps it's too sophisticated in concept for some people and changes too often? Each stage is almost a completely different game all by itself. Perhaps it's not challenging enough? Although some of the aspects of the game are a bit tricky, as far as a challenge I'm definitely not getting the adrenaline rush I got from playing Bioshock, for example. But, it's NOT SUPPOSED TO BE that kind of game! It's a fun, casual and relaxing SIM, for chrissakes! What were these naysayers expecting? I just don't get why they hate this game so much.

I'm definitely no slouch when it comes to gaming - I've been playing all kinds of different titles from shooters to RPGs to puzzle-games to SIMS and have multiple platforms in my home, so although I'm no expert, I think I know the difference between a good title and a schlocky title (*COUGH* Adventure Company *COUGH*). If you're longing for something different, something you can casually lose yourself for hours in without feeling your heart pounding through your chest, something you can play to relax, something that appeals to your intellect and creativity, something that won't ever be a traditional shooter or challenge-SIM with high-anxiety stressors and huge explosions or earthquakes, then give SPORE a try. I think it's just wonderful. =)

I am no newbie to Purdy's awesomeness, but this was my first in this series. I really really enjoyed this dark faerie tale & look forward to reading the rest of her dark faerie tales! The Withering Palace is completely different from her other series I have read, but her style of writing is as captivating as always. The characters & their fae world just as addictive & gripping as I'd hoped. I should know by now that as much as I always expect a romantic happily ever after that simply is not Purdy's way. Nevertheless I sit completely enthralled in the magical words she weaves ensuring my full attention! The unseelies left me spellbound!

Be warned, this game is addictive! I loaded it up before bed-time, and the next thing I knew, it was five hours later. The game is challenging and fun, and easy to learn.

I have the Kindle 2 and the Kindle 3. Loading time is minimal on both. The game works equally well on both kindles. The only grouse I have is that after a while it gets tiring to use the 5-way controller on the Kindle 2. The Kindle 3 on the other hand is more ergonomically friendly. :)

We wanted to get the Ultimate Werewolf, but since it requires so many players and is a little more complex, we decided to start with this one and see how we (2 adults-ages 60 & 40 and 2 teens-ages 17 & 15) liked it. Just us four have played this about a dozen times.

Gameplay is super quick! You deal the cards appropriately, close your eyes & do your actions, open your eyes and try to figure out who everyone is and who to kill. Doing the game itself-maybe 5 minutes...the arguing, accusing, lying, and ultimate choosing the one to die can take another 5 minutes! The more outgoing the people are, the better, but even with the ones who are more reserved-this game seems to bring them out of their shell.

Four Players is the absolute minimum # of players you should really have to play and it's way more fun if you add in just one or two more. When my daughter & her husband came down from out of state and played with us, it was like breathing life into the game all over! They became instantly addicted and played it many times with us. They went home and began watching videos and researching the game (it's how we found out about the app.). I'm pretty sure they will spread this addictive game to others...

GET THE APP- My son always narrates (He does this while playing the game, with his eyes closed-he memorized everything before we began playing the game-he's an exception, most people will otherwise need someone to sit out of the game and be the moderator.). I just found out that there is an app that will narrate for you and I highly suggest you get it. Otherwise someone will have to: narrate, with their eyes closed, remembering all roles/rules/&order they go in, giving enough time for player's actions, and not moving while talking or it gives away who they are OR someone will have to sit out and be the moderator. The app is available for your phone/tablet or now they also have one you can use from your pc on their website:  [...]

FAVORITE CHARACTERS: We've come to really like some of the characters and play them more often. Troublemaker-boy this one really adds some drama to the game. Drunk, Seer, Insomniac, and Robber. The Doppelganger adds a lot more time to the game play and I don't recommend it when you're first learning the game, but after you've played a lot, it definitely adds drama to the game.

I'm buying the original Ultimate Werewolf game now...no there won't be big groups to play with all the time, but when there is-it will be the first to be played! I can pretty much guarantee that Ultimate Vampire is in our future as well...

CON-My one con is that after a dozen plays the cards are starting to fade & lift around the edges. Having a card marked in ANY way in this game would ruin the entire game! I'm purchasing sleeves to protect them before damage continues-I highly suggest that if you get & like this game that you do the same!

***UPDATE: I purchased  Mayday Game Card Sleeves 2 1/2" X 3 1/2" (100 Pack) for $4.79 thru Amazon for the cards. They fit perfectly with just a smidge of plastic extra at the top! Of course we're getting the other werewolf/vampire games and now I can protect them from the very beginning. The manufacture should really either laminate the cards, supply sleeves (they are so inexpensive) or recommend sleeves!

THIS IS TRULY A REMARKABLE SPACE-SIM BY A HIGHLY ACCLAIMED COMPANY!  I ESPECIALLY LOVE THE LIVE ACTION INTERACTIONS BETWEEN THE MAIN CHARACTER & THOSE OF THE STORY. THE GRAPHICS ARE TRULY TOP NOTCH & THE CHARACTER CAST MAKES THE PLOT EXCITING! THE CONTROLS FOR THE CAN BE SET FOR "ARCADE MODE" WHICH IS OPPOSITE,  MEANING UP MAKES THE CRAFT GO DOWN & DOWN MAKES THE CRAFT GO UP.  YOU CAN ALSO SET THE CONTROLS FOR NORMAL PLAY WHERE UP IS UP & DOWN BEING DOWN.  I HAVE WING COMMANDER 3, WHICH IS MY FAVORITE, THIS IS SLIGHTY DIFFERENT, I THINK THE TIME BEING ABOUT 10-20 YEARS AFTER WING COMMANDER 3.  IN CONCLUSION, THIS GAME IS WORTH YOUR TIME & MONEY.  FROM MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE, I LIKE THIS BETTER THAN STAR WARS.  ANOTHER GREAT SPACE-FIGHTER SERIES IS COLONY WARS.  I HIGHLY RECCOMEND THAT YOU TRY THAT OUT TOO!!
