Last Boy

Last Boy Scout [VHS]
$4.97
This review isn't about the movie. I had seen it before and I knew it was a good movie. This review is about buying a pre-owned video. I was a little fearful about purchasing a used DVD but I was pleasantly surprised. The quality was great, the movie came much faster than they had promised, and it came with the original case with all the movie info. I have since bought other pre-owned DVD's with similiar success. Great work Amazon.

The Kitchen Boy: A Novel of the Last Tsar
$15.00
What an amazing little book! The story of the kitchen boy who worked for the Romanovs just weeks and days before their deaths. This little book was quite the page-turner for me and I would not have put it down last night if it weren't for my eyes refusing to stay open. It was the first thing I picked up this morning and I'm glad I did.

It was the first thing I picked up this morning and I'm glad I did.

Although the book is fictional, the letters printed in the book are not, and provide a little taste of the horror the family must have been going through. The writing is easy to follow and does not get in the way of the story and the main character so easy to sympathize with.

Very much recommended.

Avatar the Last Air Bender: Path of Zuko
$19.99
I pre-ordered this game for my niece who is a huge Avatar fan. She was quite excited to receive it today and being to play. However, her excitement soon turned to frustration and then to utter disappointment as the game locked up due to missing level files.

Three installs on three different computers with all of the set-up options and each time the same error occurred: missing azw files.

I think it's pretty preposterous for a game company to hype its wares to kids and then bitterly disappoint them with an incomplete product.

THQ and SMERC (and Nickelodeon, too!) should all be ashamed of themselves!

I hope they are at least courteous enough to provide a patch to install the missing files.
