Not good, not bad ...

What we have here is Harlan Ellison having some of his short stories (of which he has written over two thousand) adapted into being graphic stories.
An illustrated character (Ellison himself) takes the reader into his "corridor of dreams" where all the stories he ever wrote are stored in departments. He guides us through the humungous building and opens a department every now and then. Everytime he does the tour is interrupted and we get to read a selected short story ( a window-tale if you will), adapted into comicdom by different people (Len Wein, Michael T. Gilbert and others).
In this particular book are five of those short-stories which vary in quality. I definately want to point out "Rat-hater", a story about a guy taking revenge in the most gruesome way he can think of on a guy who is responsible for his sisters death. To my taste this is the best story in the book (both the story as the painted art are not to be missed). Some of the others are nice (The Len Wein story and something called "On the Slab") but there's also a story done by Phil Foglio about which you'll probably feel sorry you took the time for it afterwards.
Between the several short stories, in the sequences where Ellison takes the reader from one department to another, Ellison uses some pages to take some personal shots at people who in his eyes wrongfully criticezed his work, in a pretty chauvinistic way.
The last two pages contain part of a new never-printed-before piece of proze by Ellison.
All in all the conclussion I must come to is that this is not a spectacularly good book. There are some nice (not great) stories in here and there are some lesser ones.... As it is it's quite enjoyable but only worth the money for true Harlan Ellison fans who can't get enough of him.

The fact that the story is left unresolved isn't particularly an issue for me... In my opinion, the movie is decent, but the plain truth is that it is simply not that interesting. Of course, it is a good premise... basing a film on the human ability to deal with guilt. The writer has chosen a random and mundane situation, I'm sure intentionally, to delve into for the story, but it just isn't all that good. The acting is mediocre, the pace is painfully slow... It's just not right for everyone. I have a high tolerance for a slow-paced film that eventually leads you somewhere, but this movie was slow-paced and led me to a disappointing ending. 2 stars for the idea, but that's about it.

okay, about what I expected, but not as good as I hoped.

Underwhelming, meh, "ok", etc.  It might be better than some, but it's not as good as it could be.  However, at this price point it is exactly what I expected.  Cheap mediocre crap that will sorta cut some stuff...

I felt compelled to write this when I saw all the 5-star reviews. I don't like writing bad reviews but I think it's fair to say that this movie is not great and it's not a 5-star movie. (For comparison, not even How to Kill a Mockingbird gets 5 full stars!)

The premise is good, and it's a version of the familiar Prince-and-the-Pauper trope. Sure, there are plot holes, and plenty of things are never explained, but those things can be forgiven if there are lots of laughs. Unfortunately, that is not the case here. There are some, but they're few and far between. And, at 1:45, it's about 20 minutes too long.

The bottom line is that there's a reason this movie was straight-to-video. It's perfectly pleasant, and if you're a big Chris Kattan fan (as many of these other reviewers seem to be), then that's probably reason enough to see it. Otherwise, give it a miss.

Not bad, but not good either. There are a LOT of plot holes. And by a lot, I mean more plot holes than not. Still, if you can ignore all the glaring mistakes and holes, it's kind of entertaining to watch.

Not bad, but not great.  Personal preference I don't like them.

They do not snag are hair, like many reviews say.  I am above average hairy and I have a beard, never had an issue with snags on hair. They do however snag on calloused feet and nails.  Sheet tends to bunch up also.

Overall, not happy I spent as much as I did on them, but they aren't terrible.

Not bad, not great. The contemporary story flowed well, but the back story was choppy on the "How Yancy got his magic" end, and making him a barely aging Vietnam vet seemed unnecessary to the plot. However, it kept me engaged enough to read the whole thing, so I give it a 4.

Pretty good, but not very original.  For the price I can't complain.

Well, it wasn't all that bad.  For a standard men's adventure, it was pretty typical stuff: trite plot, shallow characterizations, longer on action than intelligence.  It was readable.
However, Destoyer fans are used to a bit more.  Most of us have read scores of these books, we KNOW who these characters are, what they think, how they interact. This book came across sort of blurred, as if written by someone who didn't quite get it, wasn't comfortable with parody and subtlety.  It's not as blatantly bad as the worst ones...
This book sort of dumbs it all down, sort of tries to turn this into just another men's adventure series.  What do you think?  Will Mack Bolan guest star in a future book?
Get it to complete your collection. Don't expect the worst, but don't expect to be enthralled either!  Remo and Chiun are out there somewhere...we're just waiting for them to come back!

It was OK.  Just that.  Not terrible, but not great.  Okbread if you have nothing better to do.

A toothless, unoriginal thriller, IN THEIR SKIN follows a fairly wealthy family (lawyer father, alcoholic mother, prop-set son) as they retreat to their vacation home in the woods following the accidental death of their daughter. While they grieve and struggle to hold both themselves and their family together, they encounter another family (dad, mom, and son) who a persistent about making nice. Of course, if you've seen the trailer (which gives away pretty much the entire film except for the final fifteen minutes), this new family is not what they seem.

The director does a decent job with what is obviously a paint-by-numbers script. Not a single line of dialogue or twist in the plot is unique or interesting, and the entire story feels like the product of a Learn Screen-Writing By Mail correspondence course. The acting isn't too bad, although the performers aren't asked to attempt anything of a whole lot of depth. And even though you can easily see where the film is headed, there are a few tense moments nevertheless. Unfortunately, they come after a whole lot of waffling around, and they precede an ending that feels sloppy, rushed, and pretty much tacked on. All in all, I wouldn't say it's a bad movie -- it feels almost like the template for a movie, like it wants to be embellished with more interesting characters, conversations, and plot elements -- but it's also about as memorable as a glass of water.

Not quite as good as I had expected, but not bad at all. Was not very S'mores like, but they made a decent attempt. Overall not bad.

From my personal experience with this product so far, I'd say it's okay...not bad, not great. I received my order March 26, 2015. The seller sent an email to remind me to check for any damages etc. The product was sound, no damage or any physical defects. I've been using it daily for 7days now and here are my assessment.

Sound is average but for the price point it is good enough and like what other reviews says it lacks bass. As for the features, the microSD slot is a plus. I have a 5yr old 1GB microSD card collecting dust, plugged it in & the EXS+ played mp3's with no problems, the EQ is a nice bonus with SD playback and as other reviewer says, EQ does not function on Bluetooth mode, which is fine coz when paired to a tablet or a cellphone, there are plenty of free apps out there that have EQ. As for pairing the EXS+, I did not have any trouble pairing this with my tablet, laptop, cellphone, & TV. Also with SD playback when you turn it on, the Bluetooth will be on for about 3mins, you will hear a beep, then the light will turn pure green for SD playback.

Now, built quality, here is why it only deserves 3stars. The EXS+ headband have too many joints, I see this as a weakness, eventually those joints will snap, crack, or break (see pictures). I found a PDF manual online & according to the manual (see picture) it's adjustable? I'd like to know how, I tried pulling but it does not retract, if joint wiggle is what they meant by adjustable, that is totally false advertisement coz joint wiggle = will break earlier than you expect. The two very tiny screws that holds the earpieces in place looks very fragile, if not careful, I'm sure it will snap as others have experienced. According to the manual you can also twist the headband for a looser or tighter fit. I read many reviews here complaining about the headband being too tight or too loose, then there you go, GOgroove illustrated how to fix that problem. The manual also stated what's in the box...unfortunately mine did not come with an AC charging adapter, just the USB pin type charger.

Battery life, I wore it in the office while working on a time consuming report it did not reach the claimed 10hrs audio playback...it's closer to 7 hours, definitely not 10. As for the range, EXS+ claims 60ft, paired to my cellphone, I was able to test it 22ft & I did not lose Bluetooth connection.
It did not hurt my ears even after 100mins of wearing the EXS+, it's very light, not super comfortable but good enough to watch an entire movie comfortably. The volume range is loud, loud enough to drown train noise when commuting. Lastly the foam pad on the earpieces, when it worns out from sweat, humidity, etc...can it be replaced, how? There's no mention of it on the manual.

I have not tested this device for answering phone calls so I will not comment on that.

To summarize:
Pros:
-  good price value
-  light / acceptable comfortability on your head/ears
-  microSD slot/EQ
-  easy to access controls

Cons:
-  to many joints on headband (questionable durability)
-  foam ear pads (replaceable?)
-  mediocre sound

June 2, 2015 update *****
Well a little over 2months & this headphones are now broken..yep, the left ear piece just fell off!!! (and i was worried about the foam pad, ha!). I did not dropped this even once, I was always very careful placing it over my ears but despite all of that, it did not last. I only use it about 90mins per day on my commute to work & my commute back home - it did not hold up. I can no longer return this as it passed 30days, I will however see if the the manufacturer will honor its 3yr warranty. Due to this, I will lower my rating to one star! Any product that breaks before 90days does not deserve a rating...

Not so good, not so bad either.  Unimpressive, but at the price point I purchased it...I got my monies worth =)

but also not the best. I'm beginning to see Lora Leigh as a hit-or-miss author. This was... well... kept me occupied for 2 hours, so not too bad. However, I could've watched a movie off netflix for free and occupied myself just as well.

*read other reviews for synopsis*

The good:
-actually finished it without too much frustration
-Jonas' character true to form
-Storme's character, while not necessarily likeable, was somewhat believable and consistent character-wise throughout
-Cassie's development was a nice touch, though very limited in exposure

The bad:
-Styx's character was mostly sidelined. No offense to anyone else, but I kinda like focusing on the MALE a little more in my romances, and he was really just a secondary character, or a foil, if you will. He didn't really have a personality beyond "nice guy breed"
-Navarro seemed lame as heck and the book is really going to be about him? How about someone we LIKE and WANT to read about? Like, Cassie, Dog, David, Ashley, Rule or Lawe (as lame as their names are).

The Ugly:
-HORRIBLE EDITING!!!! In the first chapter she goes from not having a certain weapon, to having the weapon in her jacket, to the weapon being mystically transformed into a different weapon.
-EXTREMELY bad editing!
-Book wasn't even 300 pages.
-Sex scenes not super great (or remembrance worthy)
-Plot interesting, but not compelling, and not enough to make up for the feeling of being cheated once the book is finished
-Villians nobody knows/recognizes
-Very little development of... everything.

On the BRIGHT side, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be and much better than some of her others. Choppy, but not terrible. I wouldn't say it's a straight up pay check book, but it definitely was written distractedly.

I'm not going to say I'm writing the series off, but I'm definitely going to be checking the next one out from the library before I decide to buy anymore from the series.

Not great, not horrible, disappointing, but I could've been watching reality tv instead, so not a total loss. Mediocre at best.
