2 | Gave me a waist, but just pushed my fat around | The product did what it was "supposed to" which was to give me a waist, but it kind of just redistributed my fat. My waist was super tiny, but above and below (mostly below) I bulged like crazy, so I ended up just looking really oddly proportioned. My husband thought that I looked a little like an arthropod, so definitely not the sexy curvy lady that I wanted to be... I guess this product worked for other ladies, but for me, it just looked really unnatural and odd. | review title: Gave me a waist, but just pushed my fat around

4 | Great results, with some side effects... | I have one of those "spare tire" waists, but when I put this on, I had an hourglass shape... I've never had results like this with any other shapewear... But it does come with some side effects...Wore it to work for 8 hours, took it off to find that my skin was a grayish color (i'm black) and had lines (which turned to bruises) on my sides and lower back where it folded from sitting... I did like the way it gave me a much trimmer waistline, so the next day I wore a camisole under it and it was very comfortable. That experience did, however, give me more incentive to exercise and get fit so I don't have to depend on anything to "make" me look trimmer... | review title: Great results, with some side effects...

1 | Upset | I've been wearing the waist clincher for the last two years. I purchased a new one recently and it's not the same type of material of the previous ones i've brought. I thought maybe because i had lost weight, so i brought a smaller sizer, but that one didn't fit the same either. I thought i found a miracle when i first purchased the girldle through Amazon, but i have found my recent purchase has surely let me down... | review title: Upset

2 | Falling apart | When I first received this product I was plenty happy, I thought I had finally (after 8 years of switching from cincher to cincher) found the right one. It squeezed my belly enough that it actually got me to "right-sized" eating (whereas a lot of times I would get seconds, I found when I wore this cincher I could only eat one serving), which of course is wonderful. I didn't mind that sometimes it bunched up, I didn't mind that sometimes it left welts (that went away shortly after I removed the cincher), however, after about two weeks, on of the metal prongs came out, making the cincher essentially useless because it doesn't hold it's form. Even the cheap cinchers at Walmart held up better than this and cost only a fraction of what this cost. | review title: Falling apart

2 | Incrediby difficult to put on | With the type of closures and the amount of compression it is meant to give it's really difficult to put on. You need a hand to pull it closed in order to actually be able to close each of the 20 some odd hooks. | review title: Incrediby difficult to put on

2 | Had to return it | The sizing is perfect and a medium fits just right. I am 5'2 size 4 137 lbs before baby and i gained about 35 lbs during pregnancy, just an idea for sizing but keepin mind that everyone has different fat distributions on their bodies. I don't like how my post baby fat was getting pushed up the top and makes me look like I have back boobs. The shape wear crunched up after you sit or bent over and so it doesn't feel smooth all over. Squeem makes a vest version too so maybe that one will be a better choice for better coverage. If you do decide to purchase this product it's easier to squeeze in if you lay on your bed and suck in your guts. | review title: Had to return it

3 | Not too bad but a bit uncomfy | This isn't too bad and stays on pretty well but after some time the ribbing can dig into your skin at the top and bottom and leave red marks. I wear it with a cami underneath and that definitely helps if I wear it long. Size wise I have a 28" waist and I got the small which on the first set of hooks is tight but not uncomfortably so. It does a good job staying where it is and doesn't ride up or down, but it is not totally seemless nor does it always lay completely flat so itcan be seen under a tight fighting top or dress. | review title: Not too bad but a bit uncomfy

4 | Good product | This waist cincher is pretty good. It's really hard to get latched , but once it's on, it's pretty comfortable. I didn't have any problems with it riding up, or folding over. | review title: Good product

2 | Not the shape I was going for.... | I have ordered the Squeem on three different occasions, trying a large, medium and small as my size changed after having twins. Unfortunately, I was disapointed every time and I returned it after trying it on. I don't know why I kept trying aside from desperation. It just gave me a very weird shape. Sure, it cinched in my waist at the sides but what I needed was to flatten my muffin top. I basically felt as if it squeezed my waist in and pushed all my "excess" down into the lower half of my torso making my muffin top even worse. I'm giving the product the benefit of the doubt with two stars thinking maybe it's just my body type that is the problem. I have a long torso at 5'10 and 140lbs. Great product in concept but didn't work at all for me. | review title: Not the shape I was going for....

2 | So what is the sizing? | I ordered a 3X, because that's the size that the website said to order, it came and lacked about 8 inches closing....so I looked at the package and it says I should have ordered a 5x...seemed extreme, but I exchanged it.I was very impressed with the speed of the exchange, I'll say that....However, when the 5X arrived, it's so big it just gaps and falls off? So, was the 3X mislabeled, or is this 5x mislabeled? I'm needing something with some firm support for post surgery care....so I really don't know what to do at this point? | review title: So what is the sizing?

2 | Great at first...not so good over time | Perhaps I got a bad one? A factory second? For the first 3-4 days I wore mine, it was great, just as advertised, helped me fit into those pants that are just a tiny bit too snug around the waist. I was very happy and it helped me concentrate on my posture, too, although it was very difficult to turn in the car seat when backing out of a parking space! However, I put it on today, and while my left side is all smooth and nicely held in, the support thing (bone or whatever) under my right breast seems to have lost all its firmness. My entire right front is pushing outwards on that, making a vertical bulge; whereas my left side is still firm and compressed. I don't know what could be happening. | review title: Great at first...not so good over time

2 | boning is not a plus | It holds things together but the boning gets uncomfortable, would have been better without it. It also folds in with the fold of my stomach, which I didn't want, so it doesn't get that pooch area as well as I would've liked. I guess if you just want to tuck things in to wear a dress this would be good, thats about it. | review title: boning is not a plus

3 | Works great until it develops ripples | I bought this waist cincher for two reasons. One for vanity to pull in that belly and the other to help with my back. It does both. I usually squirm when sitting for long periods of time at movies or events. I didn't do that and my back didn't get as tired. It's easier to get into than a corset. It does slim down the tummy. However, it also develops (for lack of a better word) ripples on the side where you would naturally bend. Over time, they became so pronounced that you really can't wear it anymore since you can see it through your clothes. I don't remember exactly how long it took to get that way but maybe 5 or 6 months. I'm still going to buy another one and I'll actually buy two. One to wear around the house during work and the other to wear out. That way they should last longer. | review title: Works great until it develops ripples

2 | Poor quality | I purchased this item to wear postpartum. I love how it fits and how well it smooths things out post baby. The major downside to this is the poor quality. The eye portion of about five of the hook/eye closures has come out entirely. I know that this is not a sizing issue because I followed the sizing for the product and it's only select ones that appear to not have been sewn as well as the rest. Very disappointing for what would have otherwise been an awesome product that I could recommend to others, to instead be a waste of my money! | review title: Poor quality

2 | Not the best shaper | This would be great if it had boning in it. I am not sure if this os because i have a very pronounced hour glass figure, but when I put it on, the fabric slides the the waist and it has the same effect as if I had a rubber band aroun my waist, forming a bulge above and below my waist. Too bad- I had hoped this would work based on reviews. | review title: Not the best shaper

5 | Read | Look a couple inches over ur belly button. Do you have a 'slouch line'? If no, then this is for u. Nice expensive material feel. Does wat it was made to do.

3 | Really good for the first week, then yikes | I bought this 5 months post partum, it made me look really good, I had a waist again, but after using for a week, the wires broke and they were stabbing me, they would really hurt, so I have to remove them. Now this just wont stay in place. It was good while it lasted | review title: Really good for the first week, then yikes

2 | Product defective after 1 day of use | The product overall was comfortable and did shape nicely. The problem is that after only 1 day of wearing the product was bunched at the waist and the interior supports were bent without repair. I contacted the company and they did say I had the correct size and to wear a tank under the Squeem to help with bunching. This didn't help the bent supports and I returned the product. | review title: Product defective after 1 day of use

2 | No,No,No This is not for me..... | I own the vest squeem and I absolutely love it!!!!! But this waist cincher is not for me. I'm not gonna say don't buy it because alot of women are shaped different.I just got it yesterday and I'm sending it back. It fit well until my back fat overlapsed over the top of the cincher and thats not attractive at all. So if you know you have more than enough back fat, this is not for you. I tried to adjust it by pulling it up or down and that didnt even help. I wear a size medium, so its my correct size. But it doesnt give me the full coverage support that the vest gives me. The vest covers all the back fat and everything. But I still give Squeem thumbs up though!!! :-) | review title: No,No,No This is not for me.....

1 | Broke the 2nd time I wore it, great until then | I think this product provided a great fit. I was able to hook on the first row by myself within about 5 mins max. It wasn't quite as difficult to get on as I thought it might be, although it isn't particularly easy either. I tried it on and wore for about 2 hours, and then the 2nd time I wore it had it on for about the same period of time. I took it off and one of the metal boning pieces had popped through and was hanging out at the bottom. This product is far too expensive to have something like that happen. The fit on me was snug, but I am sure I had the correct size. Now I have to figure out how to get this resolved. | review title: Broke the 2nd time I wore it, great until then

4 | I like this, but it hasn't help up well to use. | This is exactly what is says - FIRM compression. I got a size small and my waist is a 28-29 inches. It squeezes you in and you will look FABULOUS. You won't be able to eat much, or bend over, but you'll look great! I wore it under a tight dress for a wedding and after about 6 hours, I had to go and take it off so I could wiggle on the dance floor. | review title: I like this, but it hasn't help up well to use.

3 | Ok | This definitely does what its supposed to, keeps everything nice and firm. The 'warm' sensation gets really hot - almost burning feeling. It's also near impossible to sit, or bend down to pick up anything while wearing it. IF you plan on just standing - it really cinches up the waist and smooths everything makes you look and feel at least a size or two smaller. | review title: Ok

3 | Good shaper | This shaper works well. I had a baby a few months ago and this does a good job at holding that last bit of flabby belly skin in. It also creates a nice side silhouette, albeit not AS pronounced as in the internet photographs (those are models after all). It is rubbery on the outside and soft on the inside. I haven't gotten around to wearing it for long periods of time. It shows through thin material so I wouldn't recommend it for use under garments where you would have to worry about that (silk, thin jersey, etc.). | review title: Good shaper
review text: This shaper works well. I had a baby a few months ago and this does a good job at holding that last bit of flabby belly skin in. It also creates a nice side silhouette, albeit not AS pronounced as in the internet photographs (those are models after all). It is rubbery on the outside and soft on the inside. I haven't gotten around to wearing it for long periods of time. It shows through thin material so I wouldn't recommend it for use under garments where you would have to worry about that (silk, thin jersey, etc.). |
3 | squeem | I was recommended by my personal trainer that I wear this during workouts to help melt fat. Well it is extremely uncomfortable. After only four days the metal clasps started to pull away from the fabric. not worth the high cost. | review title: squeem

1 | Uncomfortable! | It was really easy to put the Squeem on, but once it was on I couldn't wait to get it off!! It wasn't too tight or anything. The problem was that once I stood up straight it bunched up in the hip/mid back area and pinched my skin! It was so painful! No matter how I positioned it, it would bunch up! Really disappointed since it was a waste of $50.. | review title: Uncomfortable!

5 | Love it! | Help with posture and gives a mommy tummy a nice squeeze. It feels great on my ribs and seems to be bringing them back to pre-baby size. I highly recommend this! | review title: Love it!

2 | Great idea, poor design | This shape-wear is the best I've had until now regarding easiness to wear and put-on. It does a great job at keeping the post-pregnancy flabby belly under control. However, after about 2 months of daily use, the metal that gives the support is coming out from the fabric. It seems that the metal is rubbing out the fabric and thins it enough to come out. I wish there was a better designed support for this binder. Otherwise, it is awesome - good looking for such lingerie. So, if you buy it, expect 2 months of wearing it without problems... | review title: Great idea, poor design

3 | Pokes me because I'm...curvy? | I'm curvy.... that's why I ordered it. But those same curves make this thing poke me and I CANNOT wear it all day at work. If i stood all day I probably could. The sizing was a little weird. The difference between an XL and L is a lot. While one is too big the other is too small. It (L) is also loose at the top and too tight at the bottom. | review title: Pokes me because I'm...curvy?

3 | A good product HOWEVER... | One of the pros is that its strapless & worked for me in the Summertime! HOWEVER the con of this product is if you have a little back fat this product does not hide it, intead it created a buldge at the top :( If you want to reshape your waist as well as reduce your back fat...I would go with the vest cause it hides all your back fat!!!! :) | review title: A good product HOWEVER...

3 | Hurts at times | I have this product in the vest style which I think I prefer. It has instant results and creates a very slimming figure that commands attention. It digs in right under the breasts and can hurt but just needs to be readjusted. I like how it helps with back pain as well. | review title: Hurts at times

5 | Awesome! | I wear this religiously! It's extremely comfortable, I even sleep it in. I wear it as often as I can - only taking it off when I need to. So far so good. The only problem was it smelled like rubber at first since it was so new. I washed it (HAND WASHED, never put things like these in the washing machine/dryer as the item can warp!) and the rubber smell went away. I've only been wearing this for about a week so when it's been a month or so I will post an update. I wear this in conjunction with dieting and light exercise. When I started all of this my waist was 28 1/2 inches. Now it's down to 26 1/2". I just hope I can actually keep the inches off. My goal is 24" but even that may be too much. | review title: Awesome!

3 | Great except for one thing | I bought this cincher a month after I had my second baby and it really did help. Anybody who's has just given birth should really wear one of these right after because it really helps shrink your waist. To get the best results, I would wear it all day at home and if I go out I would take it off because, depending on what I'm wearing, one might be able to see thru your clothes . One thing that I really didnt like is that a couple times of wearing it, it started to roll up and I really hated that. But cinchers are great over all but if you can find one that doesn't roll up then, that one is keeper. Thats why I gave it 3 stars because it does help and the material is good, it just rolls up. | review title: Great except for one thing

3 | Good for cinching, uncomfortable though | It does remove 2-4 inches but it's uncomfortable to wear more than a few times a week. The "boning" wrinkles permanently after a couple of wears. I'd wear this under a solid dress on special occasions. I wouldn't wear this under thin fabrics. | review title: Good for cinching, uncomfortable though

2 | disappointed | I think this is a case of my expectations being too high. I was so encouraged by the great reviews of this product, I really was expecting a miracle. After only wearing this twice, it is stretched out. At first, I thought perhaps it would regain it's shape after a few hours but nope! It's no better than a cheap, fashion corset. It will smooth things out so there's less bulging under the clothes but I was looking for a real "waist trainer", something that would go on tight and STAY tight. Considering I found this product when I searched specifically for "waist trainer", I would say the claims of this product are misleading. It is shapewear, it is NOT a "cincher" or a "trainer". | review title: disappointed

5 | Wow | I ordered my Squeem and it came earlier than promised. Mine didn't fit but it was my error and not the company's. I filed for a return and the company replied promptly with instructions to send back and offered to send me a different size. The company is very polite and courteous. It's one of the better companies selling on Amazon. The product itself from what I was able to do with it was very sturdy. The hook and eye enclosures were easy to use and the Squeem molded to my body shape. It was ridged but had give to allow for movement. The outside that goes away from your body is rubber but what actually touches you is a cotton material. It does smell a little like rubber if you put your nose to it but it's not strong enough to smell if you're wearing it. I can't wait to get my new sized one and try it out. | review title: Wow

4 | I recommend ordering a size or 2 larger than your regular size. | I ordered the Squeem waist shaper in a size small...my general size is 4-6, I'm 5'4 and weigh 120lbs right now; over the winter I ate too much cheese and gained about 7 lbs which isn't much to complain about but I have a roll of belly fat that shows through a slinky dress (I just wanted to smooth out my middle and fat above my hips). I wish I'd ordered a medium (or even large) instead because as I was hooking the waist shaper from top to bottom as instructed it was way way way too tight by the time I tried to hook the lower 6" above my hips. I don't want to be uncomfortable I just want a smooth finish! So, if you're similar in size I recommend ordering a medium instead. In general the quality of the product is exceptionally well stitched and built to last. | review title: I recommend ordering a size or 2 larger than your regular size.

1 | CAUSES BRUISING AND BLISTERS IF WORN TOO LONG | I ordered this product to slim down my stomach. I was looking for something I could wear all day with my jeans as well as underneath my dresses. I wore the squeem to work occasionally and then I would take it off when I got home. When I would take it off, I felt sore around my sides and my back, I washed the squeem several times and even wore it on the other side thinking this would help but it didn't. One night after work me and some of my coworkers went out for drinks so I ended up keeping the squeem on for about 14hours instead of my normal 9 hours. That night when I took the squeem off I had blisters and bruising on my side and back which have now left black marks (I'm black)on my body. I read other review before I purchased the squeem and I didn't see anything that alerted me not to buy it. Not sure why this happened but if you read this and it happens to you don't say I didn't warn you! | review title: CAUSES BRUISING AND BLISTERS IF WORN TOO LONG

5 | good postpartum compression | bought this over the other post-baby belly wraps marketed to pregnant women...and glad i did. the belly wraps are stiff and very visible under clothing, where the squeem is a good ol girdle and forms the mid section into a pretty shape while holding in the jelly belly left over after delivery. you have to wear the waist cincher for 40days/40nights for it to work on getting the belly to shrink; i'm on 2.5 weeks and have already gone from looking 6m prego to less than 3m prego when not wearing it. it also helps with initiating a healthy diet and losing weight b/c it makes you want to look better. but it is not comfortable to wear to sleep; makes me really hot. i have a cheaper wrap from babies r us that is more forgiving, but keeps up with the belly compression. | review title: good postpartum compression

4 | Snug Fit | Great product for giving you that snug fit...it does become very uncomfortable around the waist line if worn to long.

1 | Poor quality and lousy customer service | The Squeem is a great idea, but their quality is second rate, and their customer service is worse than useless. I'd owned mine for about 4 weeks and worn it only a few hours a day when I noticed that a seam was coming unstitched. The threads aren't frayed; they're unstitching from the seam.Contacting customer service has been an exercise in futility. They've asked for pictures of the damage, and then failed to respond to the pictures, or any further attempts to contact them.For what this costs, it needs to last longer than 4 weeks. | review title: Poor quality and lousy customer service

2 | Not happy | I was really unhappy with this. I followed what others said and ordered based on my prepregnancy size. It was WAY too small at 7 weeks post-pardum. I'm ten weeks post-pardum and may try it again but it was a real self-esteem crusher initially. I'm a size 0 pre-pregnancy and so I thought it was fair to order the XS but I guess not. | review title: Not happy

2 | Worked for 5 days then broke | I liked how it pulled everything in! I felt fantastic for about 2 hours. it really flattens the tummy area, which is all I really want, but you can see the hooks threw clothes :( I felt like that ruined it for me, also I had to keep pulling it up. It bunches in the back, and really smells like rubber. After about 5 or 6 days one of the "bones" on the inside broke and was stabbing me in the side! it really hurt. I would not recommend this product. | review title: Worked for 5 days then broke

3 | great compression, wrong fit | I initially purchased a small for my size 30 waist, and I held my breathe for dear life to put it on, It brought my waist in about 4 inches. By the end of the work day, I could not wait to take this thing off. I recommend wearing a tunic underneath to prevent marks in your skin from the corset. I gave it to my much thinner sister, and she loves it. I purchased the medium next, and it did not make a difference at all, and it was much longer than the small, extending under my boob, to my jeans. I returned it for a different brand, I did love the material. | review title: great compression, wrong fit

3 | Good in theory, problems for work for allergy sufferers. | This compression-based waist cincher does exactly what it's supposed to do, and it does it well.However, the product has a strange smell and the latex rubber component is exposed, not covered by fabric so if you have allergy issues, it may cause problems for you.I started sneezing the minute I opened the package. I let it air out but it didn't help. Also, with the rubber exposed, I can imagine that certain fabrics would stick to it and may ride up during wear. | review title: Good in theory, problems for work for allergy sufferers.

3 | Great, but not for long torsos | I purchased this corset (and make no mistake: it's a CORSET) after the birth of my second son. It took me a while to fit into a medium (I'm a size 8/10) but when I started using it, it certainly does what it says. Unfortunately, I am 6' tall and have a rather long torso, so it looks like I have extra back fat since everything gets squeezed up near the bra area. Ick! Also, the corset cinches together with a hook & eye system, which shows under clingy clothes, so beware. What's great about it is it really sucks it all in...like you're living in the 1700's, which honestly, I didn't mind in small doses. All around, I would LOVE this product if it came in a longer size. But, it doesn't, so only 3 stars from me. : ( | review title: Great, but not for long torsos

4 | Great, but not for short ones | I purchased it to wear after delivery. Just after delivery I put it on, though I couldn't button every button. But several days ago I was able to button all buttons, a week later to button second line (which squeezes you more). All in all I wore it for a month day and night. It worked perfect, I have no tummy now. The only thing is I'm not on tall side, I'm short, so it was pretty uncomfortable because it was always climbing up and sticking to breasts. Once again if you are on the tall side it will be perfect. | review title: Great, but not for short ones

4 | love the faja! | I bought this squeem to help me get my post-pregnancy stomach and waist back. I didn't count on the excellent back support this gives. i am very pleased with this product! The only thing I don't like about it is the rubber smell! | review title: love the faja!

3 | My 1st Review! :D | Hi, I'm a girl with a very curvy body. A size medium top, bust size 38 D & an XL in my bottoms.My only problem is, I somewhat have a muffin top. Time & time again I've came across this waist cincher, but finally I bought it.I have to say this Squeem compression cincher is only "alright." It definately does smooth out all the bump's & bulges, but the clasps are way to obvious! I love the fact that it keeps you tummy rolls discreet even when you sit down. I had no experience with back fat coming out like others did.On me it makes my "girls" look smaller. I guess it is because the Squeem somewhat pushes my chest up.So far as comfortability, practicality, and being able to move with this on, I find this really great. I had no trouble walking around & doing my daily routine. The first time I put it on I had a bit of trouble fastening the clasps. It was all good though.How completely NOTICIBLE this product is, is why I only gave it 3 stars. | review title: My 1st Review! :D

2 | Wasn't that impressed........ | It didn't do much to slim the midsection and all it does is pretty much push everything up to the top, making your breasts and back look MUCH wider. If I do continue to wear it, it will be around the house or under loose clothes/jackets. | review title: Wasn't that impressed........

5 | BEST waist cincher | I'm extremely impressed with this waist cincher. I had a bridesmaid dress that I had to fit into that was about 2.5 inches too small...I was just about ready to pay over $50 for alterations which would have made the dress different than the other bridesmaids....and then this came in the mail! What a lifesaver! I contacted the tailor quickly and tried on the dress again using the squeem and it fit perfectly. I probably won't use this long term, and I can't imagine using it over diet and exercise for weight loss, but in a pinch, it works great. | review title: BEST waist cincher

3 | Good product | This is a good product. It really does shape you instantly and beautifully. Make sure that you wear something underneath it (i.e. tank) or you will be left with some marks similar to what happened to me. Overall it is a good product...I haven't worn it long enough to see the lasting results. | review title: Good product

3 | Squeem Review | So I didn't think I had sensitive skin, but obviously I do because this thing left nasty blisters and whelps all over my midsection and sides.It really does suck everything in and give you a great hourglass figure, but now I have these huge, horrible scars. Maybe I will try to wear it again in the future with an undershirt or something under it, but for now these scars are very discouraging. | review title: Squeem Review

3 | I have high hopes! | I can't review this it just yet... But I will tell you buy a size larger than you think you are! According to the chart pre-pregnancy I'm a medium. I'm 5'6 and had a 27 inch waist. I'm 3 months pregnant with twins and bought to ensure I'd have immediately after my delivery. It didn't even fit correctly around me at 3 months pregnant. Runs small.I can't wait to see if the squeem really works! Keep you posted. | review title: I have high hopes!

3 | sizing info was not clear! | I ordered a medium (because that is my size in everything) and it does not fit. I tried looking for measurements on page prior to ordering and did not see any sizing chart, etc... I am very disappointed for the fact that producct looks good and is made very well I would of loved to try it out. | review title: sizing info was not clear!

1 | Awesome! | It's pretty awesome for such a price! It definitely gives you great posture, I was sitting up straight like no other! although i wish they could improve on the rubber smell otherwise it's wonderful!^^^^^ was my review when i had it for 15-20 days, now-- after ordering it on Jan, 21, 2012-- it's SO useless. I've washed it with care, it smells like rubber, and it's pretty nasty. I'd rather pay $$$ and buy something that works the way it should. | review title: Awesome!

4 | Does the job | I have been looking for something to hold in my stomach that wasn't elastic based. Found this item and have to say I am pretty pleased. The hooks do take a while, but once they are all done, the waist cincher does what it says it will do. The only negative thing is what a lot of the other reviews complain about. It does tend to cause back fat to appear more prominent by your underarms. So I can't wear this with a top that is clingy. Can only wear with looser fitting shirts. Oh well, nothing is perfect. | review title: Does the job

4 | A skeptical look at the search for alien intelligence | Rood and Trefil wrote this book because the media were being influenced primarily by scientists who were very optimistic about finding extraterrestrial life. The two authors describe "the conventional wisdom" as defined by Carl Sagan, Frank Drake and others. Then Rood and Trefil examine the key factors one by one, ending each chapter with a section called "Consequences for SETI" or "Implications for SETI." Basically, they come up with much lower numbers than the optimists; the Earth is special after all. Rood and Trefil do quick surveys of space colonization and the prospects for interstellar travel, dismissing the idea that UFOs carry alien visitors. Each author wrote a separate conclusion to the book, giving his personal views. Though now slightly dated, Are We Alone makes points that still must be addressed by SETI advocates. | review title: A skeptical look at the search for alien intelligence

2 | Doesn't Work! | I received this action figure as a gift and was extremely excited to use it. I was so disappointed when I found that the head will NOT pop off. Sadly, I have to hold Her Royal Highness upside down and shake off her head while pressing the button. This was very disheartening and I would only recommend it to people who aren't planning to try to eject the head. | review title: Doesn't Work!

5 | Clever design | Marie Antoinette is my daughter's favorite female historical figure. She was very smart, but not when it came to spending. She was a child bride from Austria who, as custom dictated, had to leave all her possessions at the border- including her beloved little doggie. | review title: Clever design

2 | Dont order them in white or any light color | We have owed these plates in white for quite some years. maybe six or more. I just replaced all of them with a set from Crate and Barrell. They are heavy and seemingly well made but they have been faulty in a a number of ways. First my biggest complaint is on the white plates everytime you happen to scrape them with silverware it leaves a permanent mark. Never wash anything stainless near them in the diawasher since it will mark it up there as well if it rubs up against them. After years of use they looked horrible with marks all over them. They also seemed to chip very easily. So between the chips and marks all over them I couldn't take looking at them anymore. They also are not good in the microwave. They get very hot and the food not so much. I would not recommend for everyday use. Maybe the dark colors would show less marks but if they chip it will be very noticable. My advice is to purchase bone china or porcelain. I will never buy these again. | review title: Dont order them in white or any light color

4 | Music from the Game to real life in your living room | Well the album was awesome. I loved how it would go in sequence to the game. But there were two songs that were missing in the album but that's cool. Over all if your a band geek like me you'll love this soundtrack. Dennis Martin did a great job over all. | review title: Music from the Game to real life in your living room

2 | I just wanted Jimmy Ponder (too little guitar on this one) | I couldn't wait to get this CD,being a guitarist myself. Just give me straight Jimmy Ponder, not horns and other "jazz types". I am disappointed. Cuts two and four are the best. They are Jimmy. Too bad I couldn't have listened to cuts first, I would not have bought this CD. Sorry! The cuts of just Jimmy are great though, but too few .... :( | review title: I just wanted Jimmy Ponder (too little guitar on this one)

2 | conspiracy theorist | The author is very likely a Kurdish nationalist, not implausibly a quite supporter of the PKK. As a Communist, he has no room for religion. His analysis is misleading, basically he runs after Muslims under the banner of Islamism, he seeks to undermine the Islamic religion to satisfy his own psychological needs. The author has suppervised the work of others who also claimed to have proved that Islam does not work. The author does not use objective scientific methods, he basically writes in a way that confirms his own priori conclusions. Read the book, if you wish, but with such qualifications in mind. You may read it to understand how the bigot's mind actually works. | review title: conspiracy theorist

4 | Barry D. Gilfry, Editor | I was the final editor of this book. I spent a week secreted at Lake Tahoe making the corrections.
