Another negative review.
592485
Ms. Savant is a skeptic to Andrew Wiles' FLT proof. She did not explicitly say why she takes that stand. I assume it is because of her knowledge that many bogus FLT proofs have surfaced in the past. She did not mention if she  herself had read or understood the proof or those sketches of the proof by  Karl Rubin reproduced in the appendix. Further, she amateurishly tries to  debunk some centuries-old foundations of mathematics, such as imaginary  numbers and the "proof by contradiction/induction" methods. Her  superficial attempts at doing so is really quite laughable. Then, she  arrogantly suggests that she might have found a "fatal flaw" to  Wiles' proof, which is nothing more than validity testing for the base  cases, something any college student would know to do. One thing this book  clearly reflects is the limitations of one's IQ measure. I advice Ms.  Savant to leave the writing of math-related books to those better versed in  math, even if the book is just meant for the general  public. This book is  not worthy of the shelve-space of anyone who is even remotely interested in  math.

I completely agree with the other negative reviews for this book.  It is indeed boring and definitely not worth the money.  Has this author decided to rely on her reputation?  She had better understand that the reading public will not be fooled by an inferior product if she purposefully allowed herself to turn one out.  If she is trying her best and has failed here that is a different story.  Then she deserves our patience and understanding but not our money.

Well it is apparent that many reviews don't amount to a good product. I don't need to buy this product seeing all the negative reviews. I can't say I hate it because I did not buy it. I don't like this way of doing business. Many unhappy customers. Shame on 9GreenBox.

I already reviewed this item.
You did not like the review so you did not accept it.

If you want to continue to be stupid, be my guest.

This is quite sad. People have posted the appropriate comments and complaints, so I will not belabor the point. Suffice it to say that this is not worth your time or money. Gorge Lucas has murdered a classic and this release is now no par with the most recent Indiana Jones (another tragedy). Sir, I am done with you and your franchise I will no longer purchase Star Wars products because they are a pale representation of what once was... The sad thing is that I am only 25 and this is blatantly obvious to even me.

The negative reviewers have a point; Jones' rough-and-ready version of history fails to fill in the gaps of the entire lives of his subjects.  However, they too, in their lack of historical comprehension fail to see (the critical) something:  that his basic theses, that these revolutionary men (the former reviewers do not even understand this _historical_ term!) had a profound effect on our culture, and were in turn profoundly affected by their vital deviancies, are correct.  Shame on them for writing such poor reviews.

Ouch this was one bad movie.  One hates to criticize a creative work of art when you consider the work that goes into it, but yikes this was horrible and painful to sit thru.  I won't go into details, the other reviewers already covered the specifics, I am just adding another voice to the weight of their verdict..  Ugghhhh this was bad.

It's pretty much like the other reviews said. You're getting less product for more money. The only way this company will learn is to stop using their products. Maybe they'll make things right if we stand up to them.

I bought this as a gift, so the largely negative feedback was really disheartening:

*it sounds worse than cheap $5-10 total crap earbuds
*it looks so futuristic
*it snags hair
*it takes quite a bit of force to pull them apart for putting on head
*the same tightness that makes keep squishing together and inhibiting easy donning of them puts some unnecessarily pressure on the head and negatively impacts comfort.

They're getting used.  So used, when I asked to borrow them to verify sound issues or find some resolution to the issues mentioned, they have not been produced so I can assess what's up.  If they sounded that bad and were that annoying, then I would have handed them to me for a return the first week.  She hasn't even managed to give them to me to check them out and now I can't return through Amazon.

[Mild spoilers]

Huge disappointment and truly awful.

It doesn't bother me that this book picks up after the first  miniseries. I don't dislike The Final Battle. The production value had  gone inexplicably down considering how successful the first miniseries was, and I think the ending with Elizabeth is too deus ex machina. (I  would rather have seen John continue to argue with Diana that they'd lost and it's time to go.) I loathed the TV series. So that's easy for me to ignore. I understand Kenneth Johnson picking up where he did  because he had creative differences with people working on Final Battle and had his credit changed from Kenneth Johnson to a pseudonym, Lillian Weezer. (He's still credited with his real name as creator of the series.)

I was really looking forward to The Second Generation. I love V and The Final Battle, and I wanted to see what the *creator* would do with the story. Now I have to ignore this book like I do the TV series of V. It's a little too similar to what George Lucas did to Star Wars with those horrible prequels. (And I disagree with people who say Johnson's and Lucas' stories are theirs to do with what they choose. No. They have become our stories. Lucas and Johnson break the storytelling contracts they  made with us, their audiences, when they continue their tales in such absurd ways that ring false.)

I re-watched the first miniseries before reading this book so I'd know where the characters were story-wise. I bet Kenneth Johnson didn't do that. Robin Maxwell is nowhere to be found despite the first series  ending with hints that she's pregnant with a Visitor's child. Julie and Donovan don't even show up until around page 130! They're more like supporting characters...and just as one-dimensional as all the other  characters.

I agree so much with the other negative reviews here that I don't have much to add: cardboard characters you don't care about, plot holes, amateurish.

The reason I decided to add my review is Johnson's bigotry towards fat people. Fat=evil to Johnson. Not only is that bigoted, it's lazy writing. "Oh, this is a bad character. How will I describe their physique? Fat." Again and again. I think Blue is the only large character who is not a jerk, and I suspect it's because he's black. In fact, Johnson describes Blue as "strong" more than "fat." Similarly, all of the good characters are good-looking. How very creative...

Johnson obviously has no idea what a 250-pound woman looks like, as he  describes the wrestler as some hideously and enormously fat monster. I wish he'd Google the BMI project and get some idea of what different weights actually look like, not just what Hollywood erroneously guesses them to look like.

This book is a slow and torturous read because it's boring and his  writing does not flow. The first 150 and last 50 pages were drudgery. The rest flowed somewhat better, but it's still terrible not to care  about any of the characters, especially considering how much I adore Julie and Donovan from the first two miniseries.

One thing I loved about the original two TV movies and is nowhere to be found here is how Julie and Donovan are co-leaders of the Resistance. Sure, Donovan is broken in this book, but I disagree with the decision to write him that way, on so many levels.

Basically this book is a slight variation of Final Battle that is worse  storytelling and makes little sense. It's also not entertaining in the least.

I am not going go into details of why I am let down by this game -- they are abundantly reiterated in all the other 1000+ negative reviews listed, but I'll add a "star" to their game's rating.  Hopefully Blizzard starts thinking again with their ears rather than their wallets from Diablo 3's aftermath.

Yet another once-reliable brand, now outsourced to China so POOR people there can be ripped off, while producing shoddy junk.  Good work, American Industrial morons.

2 X 4 is not bad.

Aside from that, there's just too much pandering here. This album is disappointing, whether you were expecting thrash, metal, rock & roll or any kind of good music.

To compare with a totally different art form, some may complain when a movie is *stretched* such that inferior sequels are made purely as a money grab. For example, say there are several works which have a following yet are not _hugely_ successful, then one becomes a huge hit. See where this is going?

This is a sequel to the previous album. Metallica are unapologetic about it, too...the name is "Load", for metal's sake. They would have been better served by another album with no name. Instead it seems they tried to make another joke of the "metal up your a**" variety. Before buying this album, I recommend answering the question in the headline.

You cannot put my comments on your web site because they are totally negative. That is all right. I shall write a letter to "Consumer reports " magazine as well as I shall file a complaint to the Better Business Bureau. Regards Theodore Kiezeloff

I really dislike giving negative reviews, but as you can see reading all the other reviews, this is yet another expensive piece of soon-to-be plastic junk, filling our landfills. With parts that break off and a very weak "projection light" that uses up expensive batteries, why not give the kids a white sheet and let them fill in the rest with their imaginations?

I'm not giving it one star as of course children will have fun with this for a short while, but really it's unnecessary. I may get some negative comments for saying this, but it's true. Use a regular flashlight with a ghost pattern cut out and taped over it, and let them hold that instead!

When did children's play need to be "marketed" to? And when did toys become so expensive, for practically nothing? Let the children make their own "ghostusters" pack from a cardboard box and a stick and throw a white sheet over one of the other kids. Then watch the fun begin!

Someone is obviously skewing the reviews. Every time there is a negative review a bunch of new five star reviews pop up in one day that are almost identical (same typos and grammatical errors). Don't believe the hype and reconsider buying "these" camera.

There's nothing in this sad little piece of rubbish that we haven't heard a milion times before from the unhinged left. Keep your change. How the hell does this loser look at himself in the mirror? Any advance from the publisher is nothing short of larceny. Let me say this to both of Cafferty's fans who complain that I never say anything nice about him: at least he wiped the snot off his face for the cover photo. Thanks Jack
