Flower in the Attic

Tue, 6 Nov 2001 13:56:16 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rrig5 - This dark, disturbing yet often funny and always engrossing first novel by Janet Fitch focuses on an adolescent girl shoved into Southern California's foster care system when her mother, a brilliant, yet cruel and slightly unhinged poet, murders her...

Fun for Gringos

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author rrig5 - Though I enjoy eating Mexican food, I don't get to eat it too often, as I live in a small town with no Latino population (Chi Chi's is our best option). So on a recent visit to LA, I definitely wanted to eat some good, authentic, Mexican cuisine. My...

Been There, Done That

Fri, 9 Mar 2001 14:57:29 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author rrig5 - “Gladiator” is redundant and over-rated. Oh, it’s not that it’s a BAD film, but it’s indicative of the sate of 2000 movies that a movie this ordinary could be nominated for 12 Academy Awards including Best Picture.

To be fair, it is probably...

Brains and Brawn

Wed, 24 Jan 2001 10:45:02 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rrig5 - The Intelli-Table is a great combination of an educational toy and a physical one that can take a beating. My 10-month old received it for Christmas this year, and while we're looking forward to all the educational games she can learn from eventually,...

A toy for all ages.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rrig5 - The Sparkling Symphony was the first toy my infant took an interest in. At about age two months, she would lay on the grounds and kick the plastic shapes that hang down and activate the music. At first, she just enjoyed having something to "bam" with...

A "Huggable" Learning Tool

Thu, 30 Nov 2000 16:37:19 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author rrig5 - My baby first got Baby Tad as a gift when she was about five months old. At the time, she seemed to mildly enjoy the light and the fact that it talked, but wasn’t too interested. Now she’s about ten months old, and Baby Tad is turning out to be a...

It's all about the songs

Wed, 29 Nov 2000 15:06:18 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author rrig5 - I admit it, I’m old school. I wasn’t too thrilled when the quartet from Dublin dabbled in electronica on “Pop.” Not only did it veer too much from the earnest, straight-ahead rock they’d mastered, but it seemed to smack of desperation- aging rock...

A Lifesaver!

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rrig5 - When I was pregnant, I knew I wanted to breastfeed. I also knew I'd be returning to work when my baby was 3 months old. I started doing research on breastpumps, and the Medela Pump in Style was repeatedly suggested to me as the best option. Having...

Evenflo Discovery Infant Car Seat: Convenient and Easy

Fri, 23 Jun 2000 23:31:32 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author rrig5 - At my baby shower I received a large, infant-to-toddler carseat, only to discover that it did not fit easily into either my or my husband's vehicles. I exchanged for the Evenflo Discovery and have been pretty satisfied.

First of all, I like...
