Did not live up to expectations

I was very disappointed with this.  No matter what I did in my house, the best I could get from speedtest.net was 7MB down and 7 MB up.  Direct wired to the router gets me 45MB down and 8 up.  I have a wireless G bridge and it gets the same 7 down/7 up and it cost $35.  I bought it for the "high speed", but after testing this, if I really need a powerline adapter, I'd go for the cheapest one as I can't imagine it getting a slower speed.  I returned the Netgear.

After reading the description on this book I was real excited to start reading it. But it just did not live up to what I thought it was going to be. I wish they had told more about the Sidhe and why they were exiled to the "grey land" and maybe then I would not have been as confused as I was lol. I did like the concept of the book. Teenage children were 'Called' to the Grey land by the Sidhe. In real world time they are only gone 3 minutes, in Grey Land time I think it was 24 hours. Most were returned dead but those that returned alive (although deformed in some way) gave testimonials as to what it was like there so others that were called could use their knowledge to try an survive. But to me anyway it just didn't have that OMG! I need to keep reading to find out what happens next feeling.

I was up at 8 am with my kindle in hand to read the latest installment, I was so sad that it didn't live up to the others. It wasn't worth the price because it read more like a filler than an actual stand alone novel. It just fell short of the others and I'm sorry to say the next one will not be pre-ordered.

I feel this book did not live up to its potential!  I love period books and I like faith based books.  However, I feel some of the comments or behaviors by the main character were not consistent with what is known ladies in her position at that time period.  Some of the things just seemed unbelievable and were hard to read without skepticism.

This did not live up to expectations.  I was hoping to wear this headband on the airplane and hopefully fall asleep without having bulky headphones on my head.  The ear pieces were not in the right location to match my ear and I had to constantly shift them within the band to get them to the right place.  The band was not snug enough, even though the velcro is adjustable,  to keep outside sound from leaking in and sound from my ear pieces from leaking out. I had to keep the volume low.... too low to really hear well over the outside airplane and ambient noise coming in.  The price was pretty low, so I suppose I got my money's worth.  This is not a product I would recommend, and certainly not for use in airplane travel.... might work better in the car.......maybe.

While I was very anxious to get the latest CD from Hez and LFC, I must say that it did not live up to my expectations.  The music felt like an attempt to stay relevant with some of the other gospel artists, Ty Tribett-Kirk Franklin-Ricky Dillard, but did not meet the mark.  The soloists were good, but did not have the quality that I have come accustomed to from LFC.  I give this album the benefit of the doubt, but if Hezekiah is really trying to keep choirs alive, he will have to do a much better job the next time out.

Would not buy this item again. Doesn't meet up to my expectations. Does not do the job it was intended for

When I read a Mercedes Lackey book I expect to care about what happens to *someone* in the book.  There was no one here who was 'real' enough to care about.  The people all felt like shadows, without true substance (or reasons) to their actions.  I couldn't find reasons to cheer for anyone.  One problem is there were too many people to follow easily.  Since there were so many none of them were drawn richly enough to draw me into their world.

This was nothing like I thought it would be.  After reading other reviews I expected it to be more than it was.  Very disappointed.

Did not meet expectations. Even though it was cost efficient it has not held up well.

This story sounded so intriguing and I thought it would be a book that I would enjoy from start to finish. Unfortunately, it fell well short of my expectations, especially considering all the good reviews I had read about it previously.

I thought the time frame of going back and forth between past and present, with so many characters, and how quickly these transitions were made, took away from what could have been a better book overall. It seemed choppy and disjointed. The idea for the story was great, but the way it was presented did not hold my interest past the first few chapters. I had had enough by that point, couldn't bother reading any further.

Did not meet EXPectations. . .

Alexis, Nick, and Ruby or not your typical teens. They voluteer to help out in a missing person search, which turns in to a discovery of a body in the woods. Blah, blah, blah. . . .if you have any experience with mysteries you will figure out he killer fairly quickly. I would have likes to seen a real surprise, but didn't happen.

Henry could have/should have present more of a challenge for the reader. I do not expect to read any further in this series. I was not challenged for it to have been the first book in the series

Thanks, NetGalley.

I was a little disappointed that this book did not live up to some of the reviews I read about.  I live in New Mexico and the descriptions just did not do justest to the states beauty.  Gold does such nasty things to some people.  It has a hold of the greed in them and causes them to do a lot of stupid things. This book is violent caused by people who think they are the only ones who should own the gold.  They even turn on the people working with them.  Our professor arrives in New Mexico to see what his great Aunt has left for him in her will.  Immediately he finds a note tell him to leave the state.  The lawyer keeps telling him to sell the estate.  He is repeatedly beaten up and nearly killed. But like most hero's he goes to the hospital and leaves ready to take on the unknown people again.

The snippet on the back of the book sounded so interesting, but the book just did not live up to its promise. I felt like there was no real climax, the events just kept going, and I often felt as in the dark as Lalla.
I'm disapointed that I bought the book-if I had checked it out from the library, maybe I wouldn't care as much, but it wasn't worth my money.

Although it did live up to the reviews, it did not live up to my expectations. the sound quality is poor and its too confusing to navigate with so many folders and sub menus. Also, the a lot of the apps for the tab are limited on what they can do. The amazon app is practically useless besides browsing. I'll stick to apple products. It's worth the higher price for better quality.
