adjusted among us keep those things under control world of oppression, I love this book! This book is hilarious one of the best books After Insurgent story is just so emotional and touching The characters are charming the book based on Dodd's diary and the ancillary writings of others, is extensively researched story line was good at keeping the reader encased relationship novel won numerous literary awards I adored her the book in preparation for this review The story was heartbreaking Amazon Told from three different points of view it was available in English prior to Christmas everywhere except USA Story is intriguing though incredulous horrifying tale it's somewhat SciFi and the description just didn't seem to grab me book started out good and interesting but it definately slowed down Has hilarious stories this story is exciting I loved that this book was a little more adult than the previous books a bit of magic Highly recommended Their story is riveting, appalling, and highly readable. The story was so touching and had me guessing the entire time I was reading Definitely the best book A few of the paragraphs do tend to go on a sentence fragment or two too long very good Like there should be part 2 which I would not read story and concept are unique, interesting, and captivating. Very surprised considering its popularity characters were likeable Highly recommended The concept is intriguing (4 stars) and the pace satisfactory ( 3 stars) it is so simple to read and understand, and hence easy to remember and I liked Kay's "Tigana" and Brooks' Shannara books very much the rest of the book I really loved this book was a good book and an easy read This story line is amazing fans of the series will ultimately be at least satisfied This one is hard to put down very depressing narrative this book was thought provoking and insightful The good ones are nice This is a groundbreaking book great love One of my new favorite books of all time scenes between the two are both sexy and erotic the book is clearly well researched and accessible I think his best were Jurassic Park and the Andromeda Strain was a bit of a disaster but that's why I loved it so much. Travis and Abby were two very flawed characters with a lot of issues to work through. For some reason these always become my favorite types of characters. To me, it makes it even more special to see them grow and change and I feel like the payoff is even bigger at the end. I know a lot of people really didn't like Travis but I absolutely and completely LOVED him, everything about him! The good and the bad. Yes, he can be a jerk and he has one hell of a temper and some major jealousy issues but all of these flaws just made him even more realistic to me. Don't worry because he doesn't stay that way throughout the whole book. Once he meets Abby he slowly starts changing, sometimes for the better, sometimes not. But the important thing to me is that he tries to be a better person for Abby. There is another character in this book, Parker, who is somewhat a love interest to Abby. He was pretty much perfect: good looking, rich, nice, good manners, Harvard-bound...and I absolutely could not stand him! He was such a bore. Maybe it's just me and maybe I'm not right in the head but I like reading about the messed up characters. The more screwed up they are, the better I like them. (Most of the time)Abby was a very complex character. She has a shady past and has worked hard to move on from it. But from the moment she meets Travis, she can't help but feel drawn to him. Don't worry; this isn't one of those insta-love stories. In fact, it's the completely opposite. It's one of those almostexcruciating but awesome slow build-ups that pushes them together one moment only to have them ripped apart the next. Abby and Travis have such a complicated and messed up friendship and their relationship is even more messed up. Just like the quote above says, when things are good between them it was such a beautiful thing. But when things went bad, it was definitely disastrous. At first, I really liked Abby because she was really tough and she would stand up to herself to Travis and didn't take any of his bullshit. But the closer they got, and the more blurry the line between friendship and romance got, she did some very stupid things which made me want to reach into the book and slap her a couple of times. (Maybe more than a couple)It's official! I found my new favorite category: New Adult! I mostly read YA (hence the blog name) and as much as I love them I sometimes feel like there is something missing. Well I found out what that was: sex! This is another thing that adds a realistic element to the story. I don't know why but it always bugs me when couples in YA wait until the third book to finally have sex. Don't get me wrong, I'm not against waiting and I definitely love the sexual tension until then, but what is it about the third book that makes it ok then? The relationship between Travis and Abby is scorching hot without being graphic or inappropriate I liked watching the movie n going back to the book this I was fascinated by Bill O'Reilly's book on Jesus's life and death Every character in this book is odd. The plot is odd The ending of this book is terrible This fourth book This is an exceptionally well written The book didn't really have many new insights action was good looking Liked the book much more good guys have to do is swing their swords around a few times and they can easily defeat entire armies of bad guys. One top of that, the good guys are led by an Aes Sedai (a female wizard) who can do more or less anything, so there's never any real sense of danger. The action scenes also grow very repetitive. For instance, there's one scene where our heroes are being chased by a horde of villians, but luckily they're able to run into a magic place where the bad guys just aren't willing to go. This exact same scene gets repeated twice later in the novel.Many people seem to think that the characterizations are one of this novel's strengths, but I don't agree. The main character is named Rand al'Thor, and the novel is supposed to show him changing from an ordinary farmboy into a great warrior. The problem is that he doesn't act like an ordinary person at the start; none of the five characters who grew up in a small down do. They all acts like soldiers right from the start. They're willing to plunge into battle without any hesitation, and the children always act totally grown up. I found the characters to be largely static and unbelievable.This certainly isn't a terrible novel. As I mentioned, it does have a wonderful surprise ending. Just don't expect to be swept away by it. Also, be sure to read the gloassary at the end, which is more entertaining than most of the book. it will blow you away steamy sex the confusion of the many characters can mask the whodunit journey of Sky and Holder The created other world and its animosities are also believable in their sentiments premise is interesting concepts behind this book are indeed fascinating There is no basis for why these characters come together it has a great plot that flows well despite many twists and turns Subject matter is difficult, of course, but through the eyes, heart would be INCREDIBLE I am floored at how bad this book is considering I absolutely loved the first two books in the series I found the topic interesting in that the future is simply amazing the yes it seems a bit pointless at times romance was smoking hot This story was so intriguing series is great This story was AWESOME one hundred pages story was so compelling SEXY HOT I really had to struggle through this book and almost deleted it more than once The case is not bulky and actually fits in most of my pant pockets Bass booms the keyboard!

When I first opened the container and saw these nuts, it looked like someone had wet them and dredged them in black pepper. And believe me...You can taste the pepper; and it stays with you. Very, very spicy. Too much so for me. I also agree with other reviewers who have said the nuts are too salty fresh taste. Just pure clean water. No after taste, no odd tastes overall. I love the bigger sized bottle. I cannot attest to the benefits of drinking pH water specifically because I only tried the one bottle and of course did not see any benefits or notice anything spectacularly different from any other water.I suppose if you have great interest in the long term benefits of drinking Essentia with its 9.5pH and if you do not mind the price, it is worth it. I myself cannot see spending so much on bottled water, although it does have a very good, pure taste I don't like this type of snack this product taste great The soup is rich and tasty shelf life to be longer The texture is more on the smooth side than the crunchy side The bar itself is chewy and tastes great predominantly mango with some ginger and just right amount of hot Habaneros This option is better because the box contains six individually wrapped packages have dry skin I found the taste of the Back to Nature grahams to be comparable to Honey Grahams but not nearly as sweet or intense If this was loose coffee, it would get 4 stars There are not many This was an enjoyable and refreshing treat I have to say I loved this film One of the most powerful films ever made the sound and picture quality is awesome finally nothing else see it for the scenery sound quality are excellent Cabin Fever is simply a dreadful horror film The film is visually stunning is a very well written musical Some of this ideas has been somehow treated more recently in movies such as episode is interesting the best shows to air on television this film wasn't so much funny as stupid The storyline is intriguing, to say the least the special effects are terrible I marginally liked this film first season of a very funny show film where his directorial style worked in perfect synergy with mainstream Hollywood. Many of his other earlier films, including BEETLEJUICE (1988), EDWARD SCISSORHANDS (1993), ED WOOD (1994), and ironically BATMAN RETURNS (1992) are 100% TIM BURTON! They are all great in that Burtonesque way. While Burton's first Batman film BATMAN has obvious Burton touches: odd and disturbing characters, dark tone, neo-noirish look, the film still manages to be generally accessible to the mass audience. It moves at a fast, breezy pace and has an epic, Hollywood feel to it, with a satisfying conclusion. But that, in this case, is not a bad thing! I have re-watched this entertaining flick so many times it isn't funny! It just works. Can't say that for many of the superhero films in this new PC, uninspired generation of films.I actually saw BATMAN (1989) when it first came out in movie theatres and was blown away by it's originality and scope...still am. Even more so now since it holds up 20+ years later as great entertainment. In retrospect, Michael Keaton was the perfect choice to play the fractured, flawed antiheroic Bruce Wayne AKA Batman. But I always felt he was the right choice! Keaton captures the guarded loneliness of the Bruce Wayne character, while still being very convincing as a tough guy who can hold his own when donning the cape and cowl! Mr. Burton...you made the right choice!The other inspired (and perhaps more obvious) choice was casting the legendary Jack Nicholson as Jack Napier AKA The Joker. Nicholson is convincing as high-level "yes man" thug Napier who through a nasty accident becomes facially scarred and assumes the Joker persona. And Nicholson really looks like The Joker in this! He has so many memorable lines that I think about all the time. The hero-villain chemistry between he and Keaton is electric.Kim Basinger (at her most gorgeous!) admirably plays nosy photojournalist Vicki Vale, who arrives in Gotham City to unlock the secret of the mysterious Caped Crusader who has been "terrorizing" low level criminals throughout the city. She ends up falling in love with Bruce Wayne (lucky bastard!). Basinger is the weakest link of the main actors, but she still does a good job of emoting, being simultaneously fascinated and repulsed by Batman and Joker's antics. She screams a lot, but look at the freaks she's dealing with! Can you blame her?The solid supporting cast includes Michael Gough (wonderful turn as Alfred, Bruce's ever-so-reliable and dependable butler and caretaker), Robert Wuhl (in an energetic turn as Vicki's fellow reporter Alex Knox), Billy Dee Williams (as DA Harvey Dent), and Pat Hingle (as world-weary Police Commissioner Gordon). In particular, Keaton and Gough have an effortless chemistry as though they have been close their whole lives. Gough came back for Schumacher's cartoonish campy films and he had none of the chemistry with either Kilmer or Clooney that he had with Keaton in the Burton ones. It was weird watching Gough's Alfred interact with those tepid versions of Bruce Wayne.As previously stated, I am amazed at how Burton's style fused perfectly with more conventional Hollywood touches and created something special out of it. It could have been a monumental failure, but instead ended up being a template for all future superhero films. The movie is entertaining crazed movie the movie was very graphic the action is more intense and exciting the special effects are wonderful The show is interesting perfect film Joss Whedon's unmistakeable flair comes clearly across in this popcorn movie I can only say the movie is watchable all outstanding and perfect for their respective parts the rest of the movie is fairly sound and enjoyable Johnny Depp as Capt a terrific cast The sound is significantly better The music is magnificent minutes how this movie is going to go is nothing short of amazing and was easily the best film of 2001 The dialogue is superb The special effects were awesome the brilliant music by The RZA 've never been attracted to mutes myself creepy and disturbing quality was so clear and clean the film is successful parts are at night Nightmarish, disturbing, cautionary, thought-provoking, and moving There are some wonderful Indian actors and fantastic dependable English ones too classic!#22 I recommended the film to a relative and we saw it together This a pretty good movie and it had A LOT of blood I was nave to think that this third installment of the Twilight cultural phenomenon would be any better or more interesting than the first two "films" in the series the songs are not bad The service and price were excellent I would be fascinated this movie is awesome you ridiculous That said ... the music Action was fun evolve musically and it very cool The film wasn't all bad, but you would expect better from a Star Wars film, and the bad acting did let the film down dramatically It is a very full-toned and haunting picture If you love Laurel and Hardy, this package will please you beyond words the first time and now 's shows have This film was terrific This series is great picture The main characters are consistent and well developed Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith I do not think it is as good great film the acting is marvelous I recommend this movie to any on who has a good sense of humor If you are looking for plausibility excellent doesn't have any emotional impact As was the acting. I swear, there were times I literally cringed when certain dialogue was spoken GREAT movies to reclaim the best in the series and this movie was simply amazing would have make it a much better movie The film provides the necessary background pleasantly surprised to see that its sequel this movie is like This movie is gripping hardcore In the mode of Dowton Abbey My granddaughter loved this movie directors and actors The way the camera ventures around the place is totally freaky when Kong escapes the theatre and finally sees the Girl again in NYC The extras on disc two are interesting and the previews for the extended version and TTT accomplish their purpose extreemly well.***original review below.***First the bad.The movie CHOPS 20% of the book -in one big chunk- (muttering a chapter title doesn't count!). The story of how Merry and Pippin become involved is cut and CHANGED. The old forest and the Barrow Wights are also missing. Some of Tolkien's best descriptions are found in the forest scenes (gnarly, old, and aware trees; gloom and darkness; spiders and other creatures lurking! The Galadriel scene is BAD. And there are two things wrong with Moria. 1. The cave troll scene is too long and it should have some texture on its skin (of fur). 2. I would have liked to see a bit more of Moria. The special effects when the ring is worn are overdone. One too many sweeping helicopter shots of the river. Finally, the scene where Sam goes into the river at the end was done all wrong!***Now for the GOOD***The history of the ring is told very well. Many scenes show a great deal of very good creativity. The Shire scenes are wonderful. Good humor (except in Rivendell, and taht the "conspiracy unmasked" was cut out). ***The reactions of Gandalf and especially Boromir to being near the ring really helps display the evil power of the ring. Their acting (and the direction in these scenes) is PERFECT!*** The wraiths were also done very well.The special effects and music are teriffic. The color and "tone" of the river and the huge statues at the end are especially tastefully done. Shrinking the Hobbits was just plain unbelieveable when they were running around several other characters. The scene at Orthanc was visually spectacular and the duel was creatively and tastefully done.Substituting Arwen for Glorfindel neatens things. The moria scenes (except for the above criticisms), are superb -especially when Gandalf "defeats" the balrog.[All of the smaller plots of the book could have been done except it would have confused and blurred things for the unread, and the movie would have been five hours long! Maybe six movies would have been required for everything???]***The DVDs' extras look extreemly promising!*** the worst movies ever made as well, is surprisingly good. There are precious The effects are cheesy the bag of poo while having dinner and adamant and borat fighting in bed the most influential films The cast was outstanding The action is much the same the animation was good but not great Star Wars The casting is superb one of the best transfers ever The pastas are generally more chewy which was perfect food is this bad I like the atmosphere of the entire place Great atmosphere and decor Absolutely gorgeous restaurant best tacos in Toronto The menu is very limited Amazing food with amazing servers Banh Mi Boys is fast food at its best the taste is beyond horrible I have tasted the poached cod, the beef short ribs We loved our experience at Byblos Bad service Bad Service. Best ramen in Toronto ruined my experience. I was staying at I have to say that it was absolutely delicious The place is underground and it was a cool place The patio, service, cocktails, and variety of delicious taco The drinks are really good too Overall, good for the curries ! The food was alright it was a solid, big burger can get a decent dish for around $12-13 sandwich to the time our evening ended, it was amazing I used to love this place Definitely lives up to the hype Great experience they don't care about providing any actual service The place fills up real quick during the nights the excellent menu options The food was tasty and seasoned well the most interesting restaurants friendly staff really great and extremely FABULOUS The food is fine small piece amazing and the service is fantastic The chicken was pretty tasty and perfectly cooked Manager was very rude every dish but it was spewed out so quickly that a lot of it was incoherent The steak is delicious was delicious and the flavours We could not decide on an appetizer so we had asked the It is located on a smaller street in Toronto so if you like a more quiet, outdoor environment to do work you may want to check this place out Great atmosphere, awesome Neighbourhood is on point was awesome! The food is really reasonably priced So good Staff always welcomes you with great the thick one looked better We came in at unusual hours of 4 pm to have lunch and service was on point Fantastic service! I still gravitate towards the tacos as they are always fresh and flavorful and never The service as usual was excellent clean, affordable. More spacious than other restaurants I've been to in Chinatown. sausage my favourite things slow, slow, slow Quick service The food is not flavourful, expensive, small portions Meat was soft and tender So we also got a jar of water that came slow The service is always impeccable free beer once in awhile? I come here anyways!Having lived in Belgium, I come here to relive some of my favourite Belgian foods and beer Their steak is really good decent flavor Service is fine opening locations here there!The food was good and filling the service was great food was very good My parents had the calamari and loved it very limited seating we had a fantastic time here nice It was really moist in texture and a bit different from the original cheesecake The dishes were a bit pricier than the usual a la carte sushi super loud decent quality food The food here isn't too bad Seating is very limited again Sweet Mess Tacos They force you to accept very large lobster with very tough meat our bartender/waiter was awesome The waiter was helpful and knowledgable with the menu and was attentive and excellent The last few visits were very disappointing!A waste of time, drive and money!From poor SLOW service, and OVERPRICED to bland mediocre food For authenticity this place would be 4.5/5 and drinking the soup The tacos are delicious ambience was nice Top notch service in every way!The food portions When it comes to food I'm critical best cakes Has a really homey, comfort feeling to it mediocre at best if you are meat lover and like to try different kind of meats and flavours then this is your paradise Vietnamese restaurant Guu has really good food The menu is full of egg puns delicious but no cheap eat Quite the disappointment Albacore Although the food & environment was amazing Fusion kitchen at its best... We got the chef's One of the best friend chicken and bang I appreciate the variety offered service was good and turn around was quick ginger pancakes and eggs benny the tables were very close together They're the best Neo's roll cake are delicious The food is very fresh and surprisingly good. Not cheap. But worth the price for sure! The uni I had was extremely sweet and full of flavour Overall had a pretty disappointing experience with the service Dim sum was tasty, but was not spectacular The oysters were fresh and tasty variety of top restaurants in Toronto and around the world for that matter. Last night was our first time at Cluny and we were both very excited to try it out. When we walked in, we were immediately impressed with the quaint French bistro décor and overall feel and ambiance. Loved the little bakery at the front of the restaurant. When we arrived, we were not greeted by anyone (restaurant wasn't even busy at this point 6:45 Monday evening), after about 5 mins of standing there looking around, someone that looked like he was one of the Chefs (who happened to be getting something in the stock room/closet, finally said someone will be with you shortly. We were greeted by the hostess with a less than impressive hello. After we were seated, it took about 10mins before we were acknowledged by our Waiter for the evening. Again, was not impressed by his demeanor and lack of interest in us as guest. We've probably had better service at a local Chain restaurant or a drive thru for that matter! Our appetizers came relatively quickly (Oysters, Cod balls and Caesar salad). The Caesar salad was a complete disappointment, perhaps I had high expectations but when you proudly call a dish Cluny Caesar with a price tag of $13+ I would expect a little more than 2 branches of Romaine barely drizzled with dressing and 4-5 chick peas and feta lining the bottom. We ordered Oysters and when it was brought to us, the Waitress was trying to explain the different Oysters and said Oh and I forget what this one is called.... Anyway, I don't want to get too lengthy with the review here but all in all I would rate the food quite good (minus the Caesar salad) at this restaurant but the underwhelming service takes this place to a whole new low. The atmosphere in terms of décor and ambiance were excellent, very reminiscent of a bistro in Paris which is a rare find here. The service was beyond below average. Our waiter (middle aged male, appeared quite sloppy if I can be honest the different sausages that they have The prices were great Fantastic beer They got their food before us, despite arriving a half hour after us Everything was perfect good for quick eats The staff was extremely helpful and responsive fantastic views The only thing we beautiful The hotel was in the perfect location staff were extremely helpful Morning coffee Our room was very clean and the bathroom was excellent parking is OUTRAGEOUS all over San Francisco very nice but the hotel itself worn and tired Our friends had an AMAZING view of the bay and downtown. This was a wonderful experience Teriffic location; fantastic bar with complimentary wine every afternoon Service was outstanding knowledgeable and really helpful the views were stunning The staff is extremely gracious and ready to help with suggestions for places to go shopping or dining Excellent customer service from valets, front desk staff, room service staff, housekeeping The nightly wine The service at the hotel was wonderful hotel where booking a better room Reception staff were very friendly Location--can't be beat.2. Front desk crew--helpful and friendly.3. Bed and bed linens--comfy.The OK:1. Lobby decor2. Doormen--friendly enough, but rarely open the door for you. comfortable and the showers had great water pressure and heat the perfect place to base your trip to San Francisco The hotel has great views This place is a great value and awesome place to stay in the City What the Hotel Monaco was fabulous Free parking was excellent The amenities were good This hotel is not for everyone everything was just fine On first sight the Castle hotel is not great We really enjoyed our time there The Mosser Hotel in San Francisco The Top of the Mark was great for late evening drinks TV was nice it was the absolute smallest hotel The parking fee was outrageous great city view bad I had a great stay at this beautiful, historic hotel top notch service The staff is exceptional Great wine hour My family stayed for two nights smell nice The sheets on the bed it's next to a BART station The service was great this place smelled horrible, had ratty bedding, and no air conditioning. Noisy room with a view of a brick wall. Since there's no air conditioning all windows in hotel were open which allowed for cigarette smoke, sirens, and other guests noise to float right into my room. If you are a woman traveling alone I would avoid this place. The doors were not very secure and there was so little staff in the lobby there's no way they had any real security. This place was so bad Employees were friendly The $169 rooms are almost the same as the $189 rooms Hotel was fairly new and very pleasant The service is friendly yet professional The front desk staff was very nice and upon hearing it was my birthday The staff were as good The staff was very friendly and attentive nice bed this hotel fits the bill A small room were checked in by a helpful and friendly receptionist Beautiful hotel I booked the Hotel Whitcomb for a one a king bed which was really comfy The staff were all very helpful and courteous The Palce Hotel the street which had a pub close to some lovely bars a fantastic wine & cheese hour and great continental breakfast I made the mistake, apparently like every other person who has left a review about this hotel, of going without checking the other reviews The hotel is in a very safe area and we felt perfectly happy walking around at night Service is a bit slow view wonderful The room was spacious The elevator is fairly small The bed was fabulous with extremely comfortable and fluffy bedding The wine hour from 17:30 -18:30 breakfast buffet was nice Concierge was great Bathroom was extremely small it was excellent Fantastic, gracious staff The front desk staff was extremely rude concierge were wonderful The service was amazing the hotel was very noisy throughout the night and early morning close to lots of shady places in town Stayed at the Grand Hyatt on Union Square The service was very good and prompt the heavenly bed was great The hotel location was great vanity area was very small bed was fantastic service at the front desk was prompt and friendly efficient staff The pool area is a lovely sun spot and the pool was warm to swim in Front desk staff were friendly and attentive What a wonderful hotel The property is cool Great shower in the bathroom smelled very musty food was so good This is a beautiful hotel The employees are attentive, friendly and provides excellent service. And the room is very clean with nice amenities. Strongly recommended for leisure or business stay. Cheers The rooms have high The bathroom was large The traffic noise bathrooms nice with bath and shower The car parking is very expensive 49$ per night This hotel was absolutely horrible excellent hotels The view was awesome The floors creak like you wouldn't believe the Hotel entrance is just steps from the station exit. It is also a few blocks from Davies Hall, where the Symphony plays. The down side of the location is that this is not a great section of Market and most people probably will not feel too comfortable walking at night. So, take BART or the ample public transit. The hotel is nicely kept and clean. The building has some interesting architectural details. Still, it is an old and somewhat tired property and some of the remodeling is not the best. Same for the fitness center -- the room and equipment are older, but meet my needs. The food is good, but overpriced. If you are bothered by traffic notice, ask for a quiet room in back. The rooms in front overlook Market The service and concierge were exceptional Staff very helpful Service was impeccable and reliable the Sunday breakfast buffet was forgettable beds were awesome Loved the service Also very clean and comfortable room with a great view The room service, cleaning staff, and doormen were all excellent as well great city views And very reasonably priced. Overall, excellent value for money and highly recommended. Beautiful views of the city We found the staff to be quite unhelpful and not friendly The staff was top rate visited San Francisco wonderful views spectacular view To die for beds definitely recommend the Hotel Whitcomb for any budget travellers out there friendly advertised The new rooms had beautiful light, gorgeous views of the Bay and Alcatraz and it was like we were staying in a completely different hotel has stunning views it can be a bit of a hike to get someplace The Palace Hotel is a cool place Top quality and fabulous staff the rooms were a bit small best and most beautiful hotel I have ever stayed
