Reruns...I hate reruns

Bsaically this book is a composition of her live shows, which if you have seen, are way funnier live than in print.  If you haven't seen her live, or heard one of her CD's then you might be interested, but much of "Leaville" is lost in the translation from live to print.  Without the screaming and the faces and the body language it just isn't as funny.

I enjoy watching Cesar's shows but this book simply repeats the same stuff over and over again. Instead of a useful go-to reference book you read what could be said in a single page and then the book is next to useless. I would have tossed it but couldn't bring myself, so it went in a Little Library Box.

This program a.k.a app loads up and starts like an old car with starting issues. It coughs and sputters to life from a cold start.  (Using windows 7) the program needs a lot of issues ironed out.
I canceled the whole service not because of the program but for the content it provides. Many things went from wonderful to not so great pretty quick as I have only used this service a few months. I most aggravating thing, the thing that broke the camels back was the phony artist singing very popular songs in sung by "rock stars" So annoying hearing great songs sung by people who seem to only use their nasal cavity and not their vocal cords. When I hunt for original artist sung songs I herd before thru Amazon Music I can't find them again. Also the songs seem to come and go but seem its all going right now.
From what I have surmised in the short time I have used this Amazon has for some reason legal and or financial just plain removed a ton or original artist content.

Gimmicky, disjointed writing and very, very difficult to follow a theme within a given story.  Got part of the way through the 1st story and couldn't stand it.  Skipped forward to the 2nd story and skipped through again to the 3rd story.  More of the same.  Torture trying to force myself to get all the way through even 1 story.  And, normally, I enjoy short stories...from good writers.  Hopefully, I'll think twice before I ever allow myself to be sucked in again by media hype and "award for this" and "finalist for that" without utilizing a Kindle sample first.  I want my money back.

I like the originals versions much better.  This sounds more like some of the junk you hear on MTV.  You're better than that.  Sorry Amy, I have every CD you have made...but, I'm going to skip this one.

I really wanted to love this cookbook. I watched the Andy Griffith show as a kid.
But, the format of the kindle version of this book is a mess. A recipe title may be on the bottom of one page, recipe on the next.
There's no cohesiveness. There are typos and the lay out is poor. For example, while under the candy section you will suddenly see a pie or two.
The recipes are truly from another era. Lots of prepackaged cake mix, pudding, and cook old vanilla wafers. It's not a complaint, most of the recipes remind me of my childhood. But, there are numerous recipes for the same thing or the same recipe with a different title. Not a lot of variation.
It's unfortunate because there is a lot of fun trivia, a whole episode list, and some background stories of the cat and crew.
I wish I would have stuck to my rule of only buying paperprint cookbooks.

Why does A&E do such cheap DVDs? Can't anyone there do editing when they splice a series of episodes together? Apparently not. The overlapping few minutes of one episode to another is very annoying but they are too inept to do it right. And who thought "actors" who don't even resemble the subject to be adequate? Or do they think their audience is too stupid to notice? Probably the latter. Someone needs to tell A&E that occasionally people over the age of 10 watch these.

If you are printing/publishing a first chapter/prequel to another story, then call it such.  I won't take the time to read it when I will be reading it all over again in the next story...boring.

I really dislike this new trend authors are supporting.

Second time that the thread has jammed and jumped the timing.  If I get it fixed again I will have paid the almost same amount in repair costs as I paid for the machine to start out with.  I hate this machine, I hate it. I hate it.  ps: when I got it back from repair the first time the tension was off a little big almost immediately.  I Hate it even more now that I think about it.

RERELEASE the same 8 or 10 songs!!???!??!!  Ugh... it's painful to think of the meeting that took place at the record studios declaring it a good idea to regurgitate this material.  Mills has no less than 5 "greatest hits" or "ultimate collections".  Don't you need to produce some new material for that to be repeatable.  An amazing talent, sadly with more "greatest?" hits than original hits.
This is said out of love as I would like to hear more from Ms. Mills that I DON'T already own.

I wish the DVD producers would get organized and list the episodes by the date they originally aired, the secret word for each episode, and the names of the first two guests, on both the DVD covers and on Amazon and other sales web sites, so collectors of "YOU BET YOUR LIFE" episodes can figure out which ones they have, and which ones they still need to buy,

Far too many 'YOU BET YOUR LIFE" DVDs are just re-hashes of the same episodes that have appeared on other DVDs, and VHS tapes, repackaged with different artwork and names for the covers, some leaving out some episodes to cash in on the interest in "YOU BET YOUR LIFE" episodes by splitting them into multiple volumes from larger compilations.

Several hundred episodes were filmed and aired over a period of almost 14 years, and so it's frustrating to find the same relatively few episodes cropping up again and again on almost every DVD compilation.

From the lack of specific episode details, it looks like this is another one of those re-hash collections, and thus isn't worth the effort to buy, even when it does become available.

Until it's re-released with the above-mentioned specifics about all the episodes contained in it, this gets only one star in my book.

This book was originally published 20 years ago. And it shows. It's something I've read before. Like when you watch re-runs of Three's Company but you've already heard every joke. Had I read this 20 years ago, I probably would not have given it 2 stars, but nowadays we expect more from our Heroes and Heroines.
This book contains my (now) most hated romantic tropes:
Heroine is wrong-side of the tracks poor girl returning to hometown a successful, strong woman. She behaves like an impetuous spoiled brat. Hero (rich boy) is disrespectful to her in many ways, which "infuriates" her, and that turns him on so much he can only respond by imposing physicality on her, and then berating her or making disparaging comments to her if she has physical response. Or using her responses against her in an argument. Which infuriates her anew... He, in the meantime, spends some of his time tormenting her and making the whole of the town just hate her more.

I loved my 2nd generation Shuffle. But Apple made the 4th generation essentially unuseable for podcasts, which is all that I listen to. If you load up shows from 2 or more different sources onto the device, it will pick one of them and you can only listen to that one show until you delete that show from your computer! It's an unbelievably stupid design! There is no way (that I've found--and I've looked) to skip to the show from the other provider. Also, if you have multiple episodes from the same show, the Shuffle chooses which order you will listen to them in, and it tends to be not chronological for my shows. Why can't I customize the ordering like I could with my 2nd generation Shuffle? It makes no sense. Finally, the clip on my 2nd generation was very easy to grasp and open. The clip on the 4th generation has so little area that you can grab to open it that you need two hands (which makes it difficult to attach it to clothing). Bad design changes Apple! Why did you ruin a good product?

I was excited when I ordered this CD because I had been looking for a real hip hop workout for a while.  Well....I was more or less disappointed after doing the workout. Here's why...

Off the back I noticed that the instructor was surrounded by a bunch of children who were doing the workout with him.  I was kind of insulted by that.  I am 31. I'm not out of shape at all. I can run at least three times around a full track; however, I guess I would rather see adults on the screen rather than children. I'd like to think in my head that if the adults on the video can do this workout then so can I.  I didn't get that type of motivation. I took from it that these kids dance all of the time; of course, they're going to be able to perform these routines. It was more insulting than anything. If I wanted to watch children workout, I would've ordered a Barney's workout video.

Next the editor needs to retire and take up a new profession.  The routines were choppy.  They just cut off and repeat instantly and it does it too many times and it does it out of the blue. The first time I used the tape I stopped working out to check the dvd player to make sure that it wasn't stuck because the video would just stop and repeat itself over and over.

The bad editing made DeLanzer's instructions look more horrible than it already was. Now, I'm still a party girl so catching the routine was a no brainer; however, his delivery of the routine was awful. For example, he would say, "now we're going to take this whole routine from the top." OK, so I'm thinking we are going to start from the very beginning of the routine. NOOOOOOO, we start just that small portion. Oh yeah, when the video chop and repeats itself, it doesn't repeat from the beginning of the routine either.  But not only that, some of the moves changed.  I couldn't believe this video actually made it to an actual production.  I guess anything can be packaged and sold these days.

In short, It could have been a great workout if he had instructed his workout the same as his warm up, hire a new guy to do the editing so that the video didn't look so homemade, timed and organized the routine before recording and used adults in the background instead of kids, I may have enjoyed the workout.

Unfortunately, there's no refunds; otherwise, I would have sent it back the day I received it.

So frustrating to have to watch on scratched disks- stopping,skipping.
season one through 7- free and annoying from the library.
and I think it screwed up windows media player.
Season 7- to the final 3 episodes. Well, there i am anxious for a finale
and dealing with inferior material.  So I spent 6.00 total to
watch 3 episodes on amazon prime stream. A few dollars well spent.
Busy raising children, I had missed the original airings.
I have now caught up with the masses- to 2007 lol. TY.

I hate this book. In fact, I hated this book twice. It is a comment on this book that I've bought it twice at the local library, entirely without realizing it; I bought it, tried to read it, re-donated it, then bought it several months later at the same library's sale, having had it COMPLETELY vanish from my mind. I really don't remember whether I stuck it out all the way through the first time. I managed to force my way to the end this time by skimming through the vast swathes of boring childhood reminiscences, endless driving around the city and countryside, etc. When I got to the end, I felt nothing but massive irritation at having wasted so much time (twice) on a boring book where nothing happens, and which doesn't have much of an ending

This book reminds me of the stories I used to struggle through in "Literary" magazines which are so literary that they look down their noses at such mundane things as plot, action, endings, and other such plebeian things. If this had been made into a short story & appeared in one of those magazines during the few years I tried to read them, I probably would've rated it better. It would make a halfway decent short story; the premise is interesting. What would a person do if they woke up & everyone else in the world had disappeared, for no apparent reason? The entire world has become the Marie Celeste. I'd even have been okay with a few reminiscences and a bit of driving around --I'd understand him looking for other people, or any clue. But to stre-e-e-e-e-tch the thing to book length is tolerable only to those readers who enjoy books which are the equivalent of spending 50 years in analysis and thinking it actually goes somewhere.

There is no real ending to this.

There is (probably) nothing that really happens --the "probably" being the psychological part of the book which could make a short story interesting but just gets irritating at book length. Things seem to happen, at least from the unreliable narrator's point of view, but the author never resolves the question so it's just an extremely extended tease.

I should have known when one of the major blurbs, from Neil Gaiman, mentioned only the author's "zeitgeist." I find Gaiman a bit uneven (I seem to like him best when he collaborates), but if the only thing a widely published author can talk about is another author's zeitgeist, it's a wise reader who avoids the book like the plague; it means "massive amounts of pretentious & mostly pointless verbiage ahead!"

Goes nowhere but takes a very, very long time to get there.
