rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author shockwave180 - The Giver is not your average children's book. Winner of the Newbery Medal for excellence in children's literature, it will cause you to think deeply about your assumptions.

Mon, 16 Apr 2001 16:50:50 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author shockwave180 - When your team hasn't won squat since 1908, you have to find other things to brag about, and that is exactly what Chicago Cubs fans have in Wrigley Field. Words cannot do justice to it; it is a true gem.

Two years ago I was able to attend a...

Oh, The Horror, The Stupidity! Never Again!!

Thu, 12 Apr 2001 17:49:40 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author shockwave180 - The Macarena's rise and fall is eerily similar to that of the Nazi party: it was swift, shocking, and meteoric, and it's demise, while inevitable, took several agonizing years.

Most people today would rather forget; to remember the Macarena...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author shockwave180 - Last year I flew Lufthansa with my grandma to Switzerland. Our flight went from Detroit to Frankfurt, and from Frankfurt to Geneva.

"Service? Oh, I'm Sorry Sir, We Don't Do Service...Would You Like Some Peanuts?"

Fri, 6 Apr 2001 13:25:31 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author shockwave180 - "Some People Just Know How To Fly" the company slogan says. Actually, a truer word was never spoken; some people just know how to fly, but know very little else (Like, say, customer service). Such is the case with Northwest. In my experience,...

Holy Hamburger, Batman!

Thu, 5 Apr 2001 16:22:28 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author shockwave180 - Some people seem to think that In-N-Out is overhyped. "It's not really all that good," they say. "The burgers are average...the fries are average...blah blah blah." Maybe the overhyped part is somewhat true...but only because In-N-Out has built a...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author shockwave180 - Warning: If you prefer restaurants where they charge $40 for a small hamburger, where everyone wears a tuxedo, and the server's name is "Jacques", this is definitely not the place for you.

Then again, if you don't mind a little noise, huge...

Fri, 30 Mar 2001 17:17:53 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author shockwave180 - I'm rather torn about whether to recommend this product or not. Why? Because it completely depends on what you're looking for.

A quick, filling snack? This is perfect.

As a teenager with acne, I would do almost anything for a clear face. Most of you can relate. While it doesn't significantly diminish my self-esteem, it does make me look considerably less handsome and I...

A Whale Of A Book (In More Ways Than One)

Thu, 29 Mar 2001 15:20:45 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author shockwave180 - Well, after three months, several stops and starts, and many hours of reading, I finally finished Moby Dick. Was it worth it? In a word, yes.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author shockwave180 - Let me begin by saying that this review belongs under the "Movies" category, I'm not sure why Epinions is currently listing VeggieTales under music (Although there are several songs in the video.) Anyways, don't mark me down, this review is about a movie...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author shockwave180 - These shoes certainly don't have any glaring defects. They support your feet well enough and don't impede your running. I have had mine for almost a year now, and they are getting pretty worn down. Like most cleats, they become leaky and the cleats wear...

Thu, 29 Mar 2001 15:02:10 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author shockwave180 - This is one of the better bats I have used during my little-league/high school career.
