Didn't live up to expectations

Diskin's first book was very enjoyable, so I was expecting another great read. Unfortunately, this book didn't live up to expectations. The plot felt murky and unnecessarily convoluted. There is a very dark, despairing feel to the book.

Not what I expected, quality wasn't great.

This thing did not live up to the hype some people gave it. Not that good of reception. The channels you get have pixelation in them randomly. Some times you loose the reception at all and that is on the good channels.

This was a book that didn't live up to expectations at all - from everything I have read and seen about this book, I expected it to be amazing.  I get that this is not your typical Dom/Sub story, with both Lucian and Tara demonstrating dom characteristics.  While I came away having enjoyed it, I was left unsatisfied and confused by the characters and their relationship.  I will be reading the second round in the hopes that it becomes clearer.

This device did not live up to my expectations.
It takes a very long time to upload or download music to the device, several hours in fact for about 10 gig of music and my computer was worthless for anything else while this was in progress and this computer is a a new box with 512mb of mem.
I could not get the FM transmitter to work well enough to listen to in my car no mater where I put the device. And the player froze on me way too often.  You better bring a pin with you no mater where you go because you need it to reset the player. There is a tiny pin hole on the side to reset, kind of a ctrl-alt-del for the player and I have had to use it almost everytime I use the player.  On several occasions after rebooting the player, I recieved a warning on the display telling me there was a problem with the software and to reconnect it to the computer to correct.  That was the last straw when that happened the second day into my week long vacation to the Carribean.
The Napster software and service in not much better.  I entered the code number for my 20 free songs but the software would never download the songs when I try.  A call to Napster told me I had 20 free songs credited to me, but the problem was with my computer, but they were never able to help me isolate the problem.  I still cannot download the free songs, and will not put up with being sent to hold one more time.  I bought it at Best Buy and after two weeks of pure fustration it goes back this afternoon.

Didn't live up to the hype or my expectations. The price is right but the display quality was bad and it didn't work with my ipad even after I purchased a ipad to vga adapter. I never got the usb port to work either. So I returned the product.

After reading the first book in a day, I was so excited to see how the series would finish.  Unfortunately, it just wasn't as good as I thought it would be.  Yes, you get a HEA, and yes, everything ends up working out the way I wanted, but I was left feeling disappointed.

Anna keeps working while Xavier is suspended, and he tries to protect her, and she tries to protect him, blah blah blah...  Maybe it's because the first book was SO good that I was expecting so much more.

Not as good as expected.  I needed a fine tip stylus to do detailed work on a floor plan app, and this stylus is not noticeably better than any other decent stylus.  Also, due to the stylus being thinner, it mushes down more than a traditionally sized one, pretty much negating the concept of it being thinner.  It needs to be firmer to work as intended.  It also tends to loosen and rattle after a few minutes and requires tightening back into the barrel.  Not quite ready to live up to its description, yet.

It did not meet my expectations.  It was promoted as being really intense.  I found it very tame to the point of being actually rather boring for anyone who knew the Manson case.  One of my brothers bought it at the same time and had the same take.

It was not terrible, but - N0 - it did not meet my expectations.  It just didn't help the appearance of the bedroom.  I returned the item to Amazon for a refund.  I then went to a very well known department store and bought a quilt set that was on sale for about the same price as the subject set and the room simply looked much better with the department store quilt.  Maybe it's just a matter of taste.

This prodect did not live up to my expectations. The color was lighter than I wanted. The wood at the top of the spindles is coming off and we have only had them about 6 months. I wish I had returned them.

I was disappointed,  I was expecting it to be better. It wasn't bad, but I guess my expectations were high because of the story it is bases on.  It was kind of empty, the characters were not filled out, and you were left not feeling much one way or the other for them.

I read the intro and thought this book had so many possiblities but did not live up to them.  The story got dull and jumped around a lot. It started out good but was a let down from there.

Meh, this speaker wasn't nearly as good as I expected.  I didn't expect the moon for this price.  However, the blue tooth connection cut in and out and there seemed to be a static feedback of sorts when music was playing.  I tried this speaker with many different devices and always got the same result.  Its a good looking product, a great size, a great concept.  It just didn't work out for me.  Maybe you will have more luck!

This novel was not nearly close to what I expected. I had to read this book for summer reading for English and I simply could not understand the actions of the protagonist (or should I say antagonist) and too many things happened at the same time. I also could not connect with Bigger, I mean why would he kiss a white girl when he was always so jealous and scared of white people, and then after ,although accidentally, kill her? In my opinion that simply does not make sense. Not to forget his obvious temper issues, I felt that his point of view overall just made me confused, throughout the story he claimed that others were blind (to what?)  and he was always right. I feel that his story was not reasonable and not enough to portray the lives of so many other African Americans during that time. However, I must admit that certain parts of the book did have and edge that kept the reader hooked for the next chapter. There were also moments when I felt I could connect to the reader, if barely, such as Max's speech. The writing level was also quite high, for once or twice I had too look up the word to find the meaning. Overall, I thought the book was okay although not the best book about this topic.

It was really a disappointment I was expecting something different.  It did not live to the recommendation of a friend.

Didn't live up to my expectations.  Just OK in my opinion.  The acting is really subpar.
