Buyer Beware: This Is Not a Comedy
592066
I too wanted to like this book. The blurb on the back cover describes it as "a hilarious debut novel," and "a zombie comedy," and a "rom-zom-com." This description is extremely misleading. The first 289 pages are indeed a comedy. In spite of typos and the fact that the author frequently steps out of character to give lectures, I was invested in the characters and the outcome. But on page 290 out of 310, the comedy suddenly ends in extreme tragedy. When I want emotional torture, I don't pick up a book billed as a comedy. If Mr. Browne hadn't billed this as funny, I wouldn't be so angry. A little truth in advertising please.

Beware: what is on this DVD is not cartoons, but documentary type clips about science (which is cool, but we were expecting cartoons).

As opposed from what the trailer might let you to think, this is not a comedy. It is a drama. If you know this from the start, you will have a more enjoyable experience.

First, I'll say it's my fault - I didn't read the tiny description tucked below the scroll line when I bought it.  I saw a new Anita Blake and dove for it.

It just arrived, and it turns out it's essentially a comic book.  I'm not even opening the shrink-wrap - it's going back.  While I'm a fan of Laurell K. Hamilton, I'm not a fan of comics.  It's disappointing to see this.

I would have thought Amazon might have put (comic book) or something similar, rather than (hardcover), after the title to make it clear what this book is.  Yes, it's hardcover, but that doesn't negate what's between those covers.

This is not a review of this wonderful movie. It's a warning for anyone who wants to buy this movie to get a digital copy along with the actual disc. Now to get your digital copy you have to open 2 accounts, one with Flixster and one with Ultraviolet. Forget it!

I will not be buying any products from Warner Bros. in the future, they have lost my business. I will continue buy movies from studios that either let me easily download the digital copy I paid for or include it on a disc. These studios are just too Greedy!

Spoiler alert: I am not the queen of France.

UPDATE: Shortly after posting this review, the seller contacted me vehemently denying that these gloves were acrylic instead of leather, and asked me to change my review. So I changed it, from 2 stars to 1.
THIS IS NOT LEATHER. If the seller is reading this, allow me to address you directly: stop insulting people's intelligence. I've seen a cow. I've seen a lamb. I've smelled both of those, alive and dead. I've seen, smelled and felt their leathers, when I know with absolute certainty that it is the animal's hide. I've also seen fake, cheap acrylic pleather in materials other than these gloves. Without shadow of a doubt, these are not leather and any claim otherwise is an insult and a lie.

These look fine. They're gloves and look leather-like, and their insides are soft and warm. However: they smell like vinyl. They feel like vinyl. You can tell they're not real leather when you look up close. Luckily, that doesn't really matter because how many people look at your hands that up close?

What does get me is that this seller and brand both advertise the product as leather. Look, I'm not below buying pleather gloves, just don't insult your customers' intelligence with these stupid claims.

I just went to watch this many months after I purchased it.  The description reads Blu Ray, DVD & ultraviolet copy but I realize now what I got was only the blu-ray.  I see now that even though the initial descriptor says it is a DVD and Blu Ray, I got ripped off and only got the Blu Ray.  What a scam - not happy about this false advertising.

This review does not reflect the quality of the anime in the least. This particular DVD release is a bootleg release by a company called Anime Manga Cartoon DVD. It is NOT an authentic release! I'm currently in an ugle A-Z Claim with the seller who sold me this to get my money back. If you want to support the anime industry, DO NOT encourage these bootleggers with a purchase!

Listed as a comedy! Not. Some very serious issues are the subject of this period piece. Mild humor here and there to break up the plot of the drama. Well done.

DON'T BE FOOLED..  I don't even want to give this one star, because it says it is two discs and yet, it is only ONE.  And the ONE disc has a glitch, causing the movie to stop just as George is planning to jump off the bridge.(crucial point in the movie).  So I paid for a two disc set, (one black and white, and one colorized) and couldn't even see the entire movie.  Now, this wasn't an accident folks.  The DVD case it came in was not even designed for two movies!  This is simply a rip off.  In short, a SCAM.  Buy this wonderful movie somewhere else!

This is NOT a kids book.  This is a YA text for someone who can't be bothered to reference genuine books on animals.

The author seems to have spent a few hours slapping together some data from other texts, and then a few minutes pasting some small images of various animals above the related chapter.  I actually laughed when I opened the text and saw what had been presented as "exciting animal pictures for kids".

This is more than likely a college student's term paper, now listed on her CV as a 'publication'.

Another day, another fraud.

thanks for reading my review.

The book was amusing, but it's NOT A Book. It's a short story, a very short story. Why would this author list this aka book? It's dishonest.

*sarcasm* picture shows a cassette - this is not a cassette

This is not Michael Palin's version, but a cartoon.

Amazon should be ashamed to pair it with Himalaya.

As if the poor quality artwork depicted (with cellophane as well!) doesn't get the point across
and the fact that the record "label" listed is not a legitimate company, rest assured this is
an unauthorized pirate CD.

There is absolutely no reason to buy this crap. You can get all of the Partridge Family
original albums and various compilations from Sony Music on legitimate, high-quality
releases. Just pay attention to what you buy!  Too many consumers are clueless and
don't pay attention.

Totally agree with the other reviews.

The physical product you receive in the mail is really useless. Disc one contains a software program that should allow you to search the other two discs in the set. Those, by the way, contain wire-framed art (looks rendered back in 1980)and some bad sound effects. So, totally NOT what I was expecting (and thus the poor rating).

This is basically paying $39.95 for a one year membership to a great web site that will cost $169.95 per year thereafter.

Regardless of whether the value is worth what you get (and it probably is), the offer and product are still not clear.

WHO do we blame for grossly misrepresenting this film as something it's not??? Look at the box cover - enticingly erotic, right? Check out the title as you peer at the cover - it says "sign me up", doesn't it? Read the synopsis - this is gonna be one helluva exploitation flick, isn't it? AND it won awards, so it's gonna be an Art House Exploitation classic, right? And, on top of it all, Amazon has it paired up with two incredible Art House Sexploitation flicks of the highest calibre (read my reviews of both films for additional details and insight), so HOW can you go wrong??? Oh, let me count the ways...

Well, my friends, NONE of those elements we touched upon have a blessed thing to do with the movie itself, much to the chagrin of 95% of those who purchase this flick. This is one of countless low budget, shot on video and released direct to DVD films that appeal to a handful of pompous juries at questionable film festivals that are utilized to brand the packaging of films folks would otherwise have no interest in, and usually rightfully so. The acting's nothing special, neither is the story (other than to delude us into thinking based on the box cover deceit that we're gonna be entrenched in sexual mayhem, nudity, exploitation and solicitation), a non-existent budget, questionable directorial skills and amateurish acting experience, etc., etc. What we're actually viewing is a damned soap opera about a woman with a kid who works in the sex industry (now how rare is THAT in today's world?) but has principles that go way beyond the bar she has established for herself, yet holds others accountable for moralistic ideals she herself can't live up to. Yeesch. I could forgive all the deceit mentioned IF the flick was special in any significant way, but guess again...

By all means, do pick up 'Diary of a Nymphomaniac' if you want to see a transcendent art house slice of high-class exploitation that has both a heart and a soul, a solid story, a budget and great acting, and grab yourself a copy of 'Monamour' if you're into envelope-pushing sexploitation, flagrant nudity and eroticism ala Tinto Brass (again, read my reviews for details), but avoid this flick unless you're a delusional critic who sees artful things in dung heaps. This is one step away from a Lifetime movie... And blame EVERYONE for the gross, negligent, shameless promotion of this dog and pony show...
