Advantages: Excellent stories well written to captivate the reader.
Disadvantages: some people may perceive these stories as politically incorrect

...for the first time. When a shipwreck surfaces by Kirrin Island after a storm, the children go to investigate in George’s boat to Kirrin Island which incidentally belongs to George. The famous five find a treasure map, Search for hidden treasure, George and Julian are taken prisoner it is up to Dick and Ann to come to the rescue. Can the Five succeed? You will need to read to find out! A well written adventure that kept my attention through out and the rest of the series of 21 books are no exception. From Camping, Capturing thieves, Solving mysteries, Rescuing Kidnapped people, The adventures are quite different each time but just as captivating. I was 8 years old when I bought The Famous Five on Treasure Island. I can remember it was 25p and I had just moved to the countryside. I read through it very quickly and couldn't wait for the weekly bus... Read review

Advantages: Enhanced CD
Disadvantages: Old version of We Will Rock You unless you buy the new limited edition release of this album

...Five's first album was VERY disappointing. This is the opposite; it suprised me by being fantastic! Every song is great, especially Keep On Movin'. How Do Ya Feel is a great summery track, that was put on this album after a protest from fans after it was made available only to American fans on the first album. Battlestar is anthemic, and is a fantastic track. They're the best boy band around at the moment, and although I despise J in person, they know how to make good music (and a good enhanced section too!).... Read review

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Smell of the product

...You have to put the cream on and leave it for five minutes. After these five minutes you have to use a damp piece of cotton wool to remove te hair and cream. The smell which this cream creates is disgusting and lingers in the house for over twenty-four hours. The cream doesn't really work and the hairs grow back within three days. I think that the cream should be improved and that the smell should be appealing. I will probably not be buying this product again, as I was so disappointed with it.... Read review

Advantages: All the best songs.
Disadvantages: Different versions to those played on radio.

...I bought this product after Five released the songs "Keep on Movin'" and "Don't want to let you go" because I really liked those songs. Yet the rest of the album was really good as well. It includes the song "We will rock you" and "If ya gettin down". However, I was a little dissapointed with the song "Don't want to let you go" as the version on the album is not the same (nor as good) as the one that I most commonly heard being played on the radio. Despite this, all the other songs are good, especially "How do you feel" and the hidden track "Inspector Gadget". If you have a CD-Rom then this album has the added benefit that it is an "enhanced CD". It includes the videos "If ya gettin down" and "Keep on Movin'" which are shown in really excellent quality. I would recommend this album to all those who enjoy Five's music, but never... Read review

Advantages: Good picture quality
Disadvantages: Slow to respond, difficult to set up, lack of basic channels

...I bought this for £15 from Argos a few months ago. I found it very difficult to install and set up, as the instructions were not very clear. Also, all the necessary components were not provided. After setting up the box, I found it required a much more powerful TV aerial in order to receive channels, so I bought a better one for around £10. Although this seemed to fix the problem, it still cannot find some channels. For example, Five, FiveUS and FiveLife, but the aerial can receive Five without using the Freeview box. The picture quality is generally good, but the aerial sometimes needs adjusting to stop the picture from freezing. It is quite easy to use, but the remote control is not very strong so the box needs to be close. This Freeview box is not bad for £15, but it may be better to spend a little more money on something... Read review

Advantages: Great family film with lovable characters.
Disadvantages: Slightly dated. A bit long for very young children.

...This film is the sequel to "Short Circuit". In "Short Circuit", a robot (Number Five) is hit by lightning and short circuits. This results in him becoming "alive". He is able to think and feel just as a human does. The Plot = Ben Jahrvi is an Indian immigrant who is trying to make a living on the streets of New York. He used to work for the company responsible for Number Five but since his "malfunction", Ben no longer has a job. He makes some toy robots which are similar in appearance to Number Five in the hopes of making some money. One of them manages to escape from his street stall and find its way to Sandy, a toy purchaser for the toy department of a large department store. She is desperate to find a popular toy after some recent flops and immediately makes a huge order with Ben. Ben is not sure about taking... Read review

Advantages: Great guitar work, slash all the way
Disadvantages: Vocals may be a little screaming at some points (but still excelent)

...I bought "It's Five O'Clock Somewhere" after buying the Guns N' Roses album "Appetite for Destruction". I loved it. The album has been desribed as the album that Guns N' Roses never got around to making. I would agree, after GnR Slash needed to occupy himself and the result was "Its Five O'Clock..." The album has a mix of hard-edged rock guitar tracks, with guitar solos to make your fingers hurt just thinking about them. My favorites on the album have to be "Beggars and Hangers On", with a great and distinctive into, and the run of songs "Monkey Chow", "Soma City Ward" and "Jizz Da Pit". Although all of the tracks are good to listen to. If you can then listen to some sample tracks online, you will probably like what you hear. It is really great to hear this album if you are a Guns N Roses fans, it shows that Slash is truly one... Read review

Advantages: More accessible album for the first timer
Disadvantages: None come to mind

...This album was my first P5 album. My ex-brother-in-law doesn't particularly like vocal groups...he's more of an instrumental man...and it was his way of thinking that changed my view of vocals. Sometimes you don't really need to understand the words in order to enjoy the voice. It is, after all, just another instrument. These songs are a beautiful blend of many genres, including jazz, blues, rock, and pop. Sweet Soul Revue and Baby Love Child are my personal top tracks. There is something innocent and timeless about Made in USA that makes it accessible to everyone (so it's no suprise that tracks from this album regularly appear in hollywood movies). I still listen to it regularly even after all these years and tracks from it always find their way onto my radio station. If you want great pop songs that makes you feel cooler just... Read review
