Try before you buy!, 18 Feb 2010
So even if you buy them on amazon, try them on in a shop. Why? Because the heel lifts like a flip flop. The reviews on here aren't all negative, so some people clearly don't have a problem, but many do. It feels like they cut the top off the mount mid, which is quite probable. Also please note this is an ankle boot, not a trail shoe, so it's a big bruiser of a shoe, which makes a lifting heel even more of a problem. I don't know about the soles wearing out, i didn't own mine long enough to find out.

A trail shoe..., 18 Feb 2010
...no more. After 4 months almost everyday use there was a hole in the sole. Also, water goes straight through them. Probably be good for wearing in India, with soft unpaved streets and little rainfall, but not an everyday trainer.

Garnished perhaps?, 18 Aug 2009
The translator seems to shy away from a literal translation in favour of saying the 'meaning' of certain passages, which in the context of a religious book can obviously cause problems. A much better system would have been a literal translation combined with a commentary, as Swami Vivekananda did in his translations of the Yoga Sutras, from the same publisher. This way a reader can differentiate between what the translator is saying and what the Upanishads are saying. Read this book if you enjoy attempting to read through the translation, if you enjoy taking what is spoon fed to you, or if you happen to have the exact same viewpoint as the translator (what that is is uncertain, he just describes himself as a 'meditator').

Don't expect a conspiracy theory..., 17 July 2007
...because you certainly won't find one here. Dominic Streatfeild has his head firmly screwed on and his feet on the ground. This book is a detailed history of all orms of mind control, and their use, from the interrigation methods of the KGB to the alleged problems of heavy metal in the 1980s, Streatfeild has covered it all. I would strongly reccoment this book to anyone, you won't be disappointed.

Good product, 12 Jun 2007
Not a bad watch at all. Two things to consider though: 1) The strap continues underneath the watch, you can see this in the picture if you look. I didn't notice at first, but I don't mind it. 2) There is a reset button. This button puts the second hand back at 12. This buttonis also one of the ones you see on the side of the watch, so it is possible to press it by accident. This has only happened to my once in the past 2 months of my having it.

Incredible, 9 May 2007
Let's be clear, this is a review for the 18 story collection, as that is the only one i have read. The early stories are fantastic, and paint a world of twisted morality and hardship. Akutagawa is an artist in his writing, and has an unsurpassed ability to tell a story and set a scene. However, none of this compared to the last two stories in the book. These are the life of a stupid man' and 'spinning gears. These two show Akutagawa's growing insanity, completely through his own perspective. This is a must buy book. But it now! No, stop deciding and do it, now!
