- i***c (2865)- Feedback left by buyer.More than a year agoVerified purchaseSeller sent item poorly packaged which led to virtual destruction of item. Although refund was received, the seller would not follow regular eBay procedures for return, blamed me for the problem, was quite rude, and even threatened to sue. I sent the item back, but seller did not reimburse me. US buyers should beware of dealings with this UK seller.

Entertaining at least!
I'm sure it was thrilling when episode one came out but it's the worst film in the series. A great enemy was built up and killed too easily. At least it took Christopher Lee two film to die. Also, I think the prequels take themselves too seriously. The original three film (IV, V, VI) were great fun, with still room for a back story. So why three stars? Because it's still the beginning. And the two disc set is still a wonderful insight into starting this six film set. So if you're going to buyThe Phantom Menace, this is the version to get.

Tough with heart
Hope Solo hasn't had an easy ride either in her upbringing or her struggle to be such a wonderful role-model for sports people the world over. She tells a candid truth in this book and you feel how genuine she is throughout; but you also know that some of the truths she tells will upset some of people she has crossed in life.
But isn't that the way? If someone wants to make something of themselves they have to trust their instincts and really be true to their innerself. Hope was sometimes right and she was sometimes wrong. But she kept battling and pushing forward and eventually she became one of the most respected female soccer players of all time. I truly loved this book, because even though her story isn't half-over, there was so much she had to share with the reader. Heartbreaking moments with her father, not the most respected man in the world, but a man she loved and vindicated his goodness after his death; and the battles in the USA Female International Soccer Camp, which were sometimes shocking too. A great book and an inspiration to teenage sports ladies. It will give them Hope no matter how many knocks they take.

A masterpiece
Heartbreaking and imaginative. Explaining that the German people were not evil only individuals were evil.
