You really disappointed me with Ethic this go round,

I was very disappointed with Ethic. It really wasn't what I expected. The only reason I gave it three stars is because of Morgan and Messiah's love story. Now that was what made this book. It really upset me because, Ethic is supposed to be the main character, but his story was so.... lame. I'm gonna tell it like it is. Alani was definitely not who I expected him to fall for first of all. How can you go from a boss bitch like Disaya, to a bounced around cry baby ass bitch like Alani? I mean, I was screaming, stfu throughout all her scenes. I understand her crying because of the heavy situation, but she was literally crying about every little thing. It's sad because you were uplifting her as such a black queen, but the way she was being described did not sound like a queen at all. I love black love, and I was really expecting more from her. I pray you do Ethic 2 justice because Ethic was turned into a straight pussy in this book bruh.

Now, Morgan, mannnnn, Morgan and Messiah had me like WHOA!!! I loved the intensity, that was building throughout the story. This is why I was expecting it to be like this with Ethic, because he was supposed to be the main focus of the story. Anywho, I loved your writing skills and abilities with telling the story of Morgan. How her delicate situation didn't stop her from falling deeply in love. Her love story was so beautiful.

This stuff is getting pretty formulaic. I wanted to like this film. I really did. I can even appreciate the idea of "exaggerating" a true story a bit for the sake of entertainment. What I can never forgive however, is the bald, finger-pointing-in-your-face, mawkish, bible-humping, overwrought proselytizing that this film absolutely reeks of. What I'm speaking of specifically are the countless needless digressions alluding to the relationship between Ed and Lorraine and their endless, embarrassingly deadpan, discussions about the precise ins and outs of "demon" hunting. I get it already. They're a down-home, family-values, guitar-strummin' happy American couple. That would be fine if this wasn't supposed to be a horror film. But after a while, it literally sucked (and I do mean sucked) so much of the entertainment out of the film that by the time the scares reappeared, I needed my hand to support to my chin to keep from falling over with abject boredom. The first one was definitely better. The digressions were fewer. The "family" moments were brief, generalizable to a wider audience, and meaningful. Most importantly, they didn't take away from the general aura of misgiving because the proselytizing was far, far less prominent. What I really don't understand is what exactly James Wan is expecting us to derive from all this. What I understand even less, is how audiences that aren't American can relate to any of this. It must be a terrible disappointment to see the value of enterntainment being slowly  replaced by the odiously conspicuous urge to "convert" audiences over to some horribly narrow viewpont that only a comparatively small demographic can relate to. What a pathetic substitute. I think I'm done with James Wan at this point. Maybe Ty West will start to get a little better. He certainly couldn't do worse than this.

I was really disappointed. I chuckled in some spots, but for the most part I pushed myself to finish and I hate to do that. I kept waiting for it to get better and it really didn't. I guess it must be me because other people gave it good reviews.

What were they thinking? What a waste. I feel sorry for the people that were involved in its production. That is really all I have to say.

I needed to return and unable to. Very lame.

What was an intelligent topic and somewhat novel idea was ruined by smug, condescending, get a real kick out of hearing myself, ego. Wow. Didn't make it all the way through. Took a stunning idea from Black Like Me and trivialized it. Next...

I am sad to say that I was unimpressed. Predictable and boring are the words I would use to describe it. Made worse by making an educated black man sound like a ghetto neanderthal and we have officially rolled s*it in sugar and called it a doughnut

I was jumping up and down like a goof when I found out PE was making a return...and I know Robb's intentions were good but this is just really a mess...the art is muddy, the characters unrecognizable, I don't like it at all...it should have been laid to rest...I feel bad for Drew's daughter, who is the one who really should have been left in control...

I almost never give books a bad review, but I really felt this deserved a word or two.

I'm not sure who or what the author was angry at when she was writing this book.
I don't care who you are, or what your high and mighty opinion of someone is, it's never okay to publicly shame someone and call names. I had really high hopes for this book, looking for some good tips on poise an etiquette, this is just a book about bashing celebrities/TV stars/women that snub you in the supermarket.  While I don't condone the things Kim Kardashian and Lindsay Lohan do, I would never shamelessly pass judgement on them in a written work under the pretense of "how to practice etiquette".
I really felt like I was deceived by the description of the book.
It's not really a "How-To" as it is a "How to Not." I think if I were to buy a "How-To" assemble something book, but it instead told me "How to Not" assemble it, I would be completely lost.
Just a thought.

Instead of the Jaeger-LeCoultre Hybris Mechanica  Grande Sonnerie that I asked for, my mum got me this hunk of junk when I turned 16. Talk about embarrassing. I couldn't show my face at the Bellagio for a week.

This thing is so pedestrian. I could feel it draining the equity away from my second home. I smashed it with my Tanino Crisci and tossed it over a bridge before I was spotted with it.

I hate my parents so much.

This was a waste of my time. I wanted it to be good, or funny but it failed.

Considering what I paid Im puzzled with myself for expecting more. What I want is a thousand dollar commercial grade grinder selling for a dollar ninety eight. What I have is something the domestic gurus among us are going to poo poo in a hurry. Im sorry, it's cheap and nasty. The job it has to do is not a pleasure cruise either and it does do an acceptable job doing as was advertised. And nothing more. It seems I was expecting a romantic tour d'force at the moment I put my money down. This is not a kitchen love affair waiting to happen. She wants diamonds not fish paste. Shame on me.

You know I really used to like TurboTax and Intuit's other products.  I thought they were high quality, professional, and trustworthy. I mean after all, I'm using their products for my money management and taxes, and if they are trustworthy, then I just don't feel comfortable using them.  I know businesses need to make a profit, and I'm sure Intuit is no exception, but they also need to provide an honest deal to the customer.  I feel I've have been betrayed.  What I experienced was low level bait and switch.  Buy this product to do your taxes only to find out there are hidden fees to complete the process you already started.

Well you got me this time.. I hope you enjoy my hard earned money, and it pays for your bonuses, but next year I'll go somewhere else.  I'm sorry, I lost all trust for all of Intuit's products.  I plan on buying a new computer this year, and will not upgrade my Quicken software either.

1 star, because it did the job and you and your software engineers earned that and no more than 1 star because your business team lost my trust.

I will write more when I become less pissed off that someone just cheated me into buying his worthless amateurish attempt!

A colleague bought us all this book as a end of year gift, and I was so excited! I have only been teaching for 5 years, so I feel fairly new to the profession. I was expecting a funny with heart book. It came off cynical and bitter. Once I made it to her criticisms of students with special needs, I gave up and didn't finish it. I feel bad for her students and hope she chose to find a more fitting position.
