rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author neeterskeeter - I saw this CD player on sale at Amazon.com and thought, what a great deal! It was only $30 or so at the time. Now, a year later, I realize it was too good to be true. This CD player is lightweight and very easy to carry, which is one really good...

Wed, 26 Sep 2001 13:07:19 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author neeterskeeter - Nicole Kidman is not my favorite actress. I was unsure if I would like this movie because she was the main character.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author neeterskeeter - The movie industry has flooded us with sexist fairy tales for far too long.

You won't forget these characters or this setting!

Thu, 7 Jun 2001 20:23:05 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author neeterskeeter - Cannery Row is almost like a book of short stories.

Mon, 2 Apr 2001 12:18:52 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author neeterskeeter - I'd be willing to make a bet that you have heard of Bill Bryson. I'd bet on that because almost everyone anywhere has heard of him.

Mon, 2 Apr 2001 03:53:57 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author neeterskeeter - There is one word that can sum up the effect of this book for me: "powerful".

Mon, 2 Apr 2001 02:53:28 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author neeterskeeter - I'll admit it: I'm not Stephen King's greatest fan. On Writing is only the second book I've read by him (the first being Rose Madder, many years ago), and I only picked it up because I was interested in what he had to say about the writing process...

Wed, 24 Jan 2001 23:18:51 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author neeterskeeter - John Grisham is one of my favorite bestselling authors, and I have read almost all his books.
