A historical fiction piece set during the Great Depression about a young man who jumps on a train to find out he’s just joined a circus. It has everything- a great plot, action, romance, and is based on real facts. My friends and I finished this book within a few days. Couldn’t keep it down.

Have had no problems with this card. The supplier was very prompt in sending this out.

I was given this book to borrow — “It is just a wonderful book.” I cannot stand mediocre writing, and for this reason I don’t often read popular fiction. I pushed into it, however, hoping for the best. Just could never care at all about the characters. The old guy is grumpy and resentful. Some of the circus behind-the-scenes reporting is interesting, but much of that is pretty low-life and tawdry. Not for me. I will read the ending and report back to my friend, but I will not read the rest of it.

I’m pretty much in agreement with most of the reviews posted here, so I’d just like to add a comment or two of my own.
First, to those who’ve wanted to own this movie for years, this Anchor Bay release is definitely the one to buy. Not only is this the original, uncut version of “Let Sleeping Corpses Lie” but it has also been digitally remastered so the picture and sound are GREAT (on both VHS and DVD). You won’t be getting a faded, cheap looking film to video transfer — trust me on this. In case you’re wondering, the VHS version is in 1.85 to 1 widescreen ratio and includes all the same extras (director interview, original trailer, etc.) as the DVD version. The only difference, of course, is that with DVD you can access these extras instantly. With the VHS version, you have to fast forward to the end of the movie before you can sample the extras.
That being said, let me make caution all those zombie movie fans out there who’ve never heard of this film before but are intrigued by the other reviews. No doubt scores of you are salivating right now at the prospect of a zombie movie that’s almost good as “Dawn of the Dead” (as some have suggested).
Please note the following: this is NOT a wall-to-wall zombie/action flick like “Dawn of the Dead” or or even the parody “Return of the Living Dead”. In fact, (SPOILER ALERT) I counted maybe only seven or eight zombies in the *whole* movie, and there are never more than three zombies on screen at one time! You *won’t* find scenes depicting hundreds (or even dozens) of zombies taking over a city, surrounding a shopping mall, or even invading a farm house. This is a more subtle horror film that’s far more interested in evoking a spooky atmosphere and creating a sense of dread than piling on the body count. (If you saw the 70s vampire film “Let’s Scare Jessica to Death”, then maybe you have an idea what I’m talking about.)
Don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying “Let Sleeping Corpses Lie” isn’t a good horror film. It is. I

This is easy to program and use, now I don’t move without it and I move more with it.

The first time I heard about this book was about two or three years ago when my cousin told me this was “soooo gooood!” and I had to read it. I didn’t at first because I knew it was in the Young Adult section of the bookstore and I am always a bit iffy about that section.
Then, once the movie came out and there was this huge craze that followed, I definitely didn’t want to read the books because I try to not get sucked into all the hype.
This past Thanksgiving, I saw that another one of my cousins had the books and I asked her if I could borrow the first book so I could find out what all this mess was about. I definitely didn’t want to waste my money if the books turned out to be as dumb as I thought they would be.
So, on the car ride home I started reading … and reading… and reading … I found that I couldn’t put the book down! When I wasn’t reading, I was thinking about the book and how I wished I could be reading. True this is no mind bending, life changing work of literature, but I found it to be quite addictive and I don’t know why!
As soon as I finished the first book, I ran out to Wal-mart and bought the other three books because I couldn’t wait to have them shipped to me from Amazon.
By the end of the next week, I had finished all the books!
I hate my self a little for getting sucked into these books, but I just found them so entertaining and addictive.

I installed this adapter in a Dell Latitude L400 running Windows 2000 with no problem at all. Found my wireless router immediately and I was up and running within 10 minutes after opening the box. I liked it so much I bought a second one for my sons Latitude LS a week later. Works great in the house, plenty of range.

I don’t understand all the negative reviews. I have so many memory cards and I’ve never had one problem. We have them in 3 cell phones, GPS, 4 Cameras (Digital SLR to pocket cameras), camcorders, digital picture frames and I am sure there are a few more I am not thinking of. This is my third “class 6″ card and like all of the others it works great. I bought this card for a new Panasonic Lumix camera. The price was the best anywhere (by far), the shipping was fast, etc., etc., etc. 100% satisfied with Amazon, Transcend, the seller and the card.

Many of the other reviews talk about the storyline but I am writing this just as one man’s opinion. 21 was a fun movie to watch. There is nothing extremely captivating about the movie. I was honestly more enthusiastic to watch the movie than I should have been. Something about the story line of going to Vegas to beat the odds is fun and it gets the addreniline pumping even as you watch but in the end you know it will come crashing down.
The bottom line about this movie is that it has a decent story line and is entertaining. 3 stars is a perfect rating because although I would recommend it to most people, if you have something else you have been really wanting to buy then buy that movie instead of 21

I have only watched and worked out to Volume 1 of this set so far and I am very impressed. It is almost relaxing to work out to this as the background music is classical and the narrator’s voice is very soothing. The exercises themselves are very good and with work I can see how they would tone muscle. It might be a little difficult for those who don’t have any dance background but with anything there is a learning curve that must be overcome. Once you get it, its an easy to moderate workout and I found myself with better posture afterwards as a great bonus!
