Disappointing and Misleading
When I bought this product, prices on Amazon.com ranged from about $9.00 to $25.00. Now, I see it's down as low as $4.75. Regardless, I found it no bargain at any price. While it's billed as a trimmer for both nose and ears, the instructions say to use for nose only. Folks -- when you get older, you need to trim your ears! It's more flimsy than other Panasonic products I've used in the past and difficult to clean. What can I say -- "No nose is good nose?"
Would make a great movie
This book would definitely make a great anime movie. The story is action-packed and full of unexpected twists and turns. However for me it was not as exciting as the second and third novel, may be because of the fact that it was all action and no feelings. I personally like to see a softer side of D. As much as I love reading all Kikuchi's novels I still don't understand why D enjoys hunting Nobles and protecting humans despite of the fact that humans are always trying to kill him one way or the other. Maybe we'll find out by the end of 17th novel...
A must for D fans!
This review is for "Tale Of The Dead Town". I'm not sure why it's being included with the reviews for other Vampire Hunter D novels.I just finished this novel last night. The mystery wasn't quite there like in the earlier novels and I felt the end wasn't quite wrapped up.*Warning Spoiler*The stranger who had visted 200 years earlier was never identified. Also, abandoned city of Nobles was never quite explained. Where did the 2,000 imitation vampires come from? Also, D acts like as if he knew the place was there all along which means he didn't need to investigate in the first place. If I missed it and someone else didn't an explanation is welcome.All in all I have to say that I wasn't dissapointed. Remember, the first Vampire Hunter D novel is hard to live up to. That being said even if this novel was 25% as good as that then it would still be a classic.I'm very happy with my purchase and anyone looking at the reviews has my recomendation.
Really good instrument
My son has been using it for over a year with no complain at all. His teacher has also named it as *AN EXCELLENT PURCHASE*. Clear beautiful sound like a pro one. I am really happy to own it.
Osker grows up
Osker may be the most hated band on Epitaph, but their new cd Idle Will Kill is hard not to like. What stands out on this album, is singer/songwriter Devon's ability to convey emotion through his lyrics. Although signed to a label when Osker band members were still in high school, Devon has the insight of a very matured individual. The music is composed of simple power chords which maintains a consistent tempo throughout the cd. The fluctuations are really in Devon's vocals which change from apathetic to passionate throughout the cd. While Osker fans may be disappoited that there is a more "emo" feel on the cd, those who take the time to listen to the content will be pleasantly surprised. Its too bad more people won't hear this recording.
A Teacher's Best Friend
This book, and other books in the Take It to Your Seat series is a teacher's best friend. These are quick centers to prepare. They are full color, with center instructions and materials. For many centers, all you need is this book and folders or envelopes. It even has student product sheets for each center. Wonderful for the busy teacher! Great volunteer or assistant project.
