Alyssa asked:
Where can I read binoculars reviews?

Phil Harrington is probably one of my favorites. If you have any way to get your hands on the June 2001 issue of Astronomy Magazine, he wrote an article called “Everything You Need to Know About Binoculars.” A very excellent read.
You can peruse around here too, but I haven’t spent a lot of time with any of this:

Jeni asked:
I have a pair of simmons binoculars and i am seeing a double image why is this?
Reply:
Because you are spying through your neighbour’s window at the nubile daughter’s breasts. They come in pairs don’t you know.
Addendum: I just thought you would prefer one answer over no answers whatsoever. Maybe you got ripped off. Have you tried getting your money back?

Jasmine asked:
I have heard about different binoculars with different lens sizes. What is the real deal?

I am not familiar with the term “telescope binoculars.” However, you can certainly find binocular sets that range from opera glasses to giant instruments that should be mounted on a pier.
You may be referring to binocular eyepiece adapters. These are prism sets that can be installed like a normal eyepiece in any telescope of a sufficient size to support them. They provide binocular eyepiece locations, instead of the normal single eyepiece. This allows the observer to see the target with both eyes instead of one. It does provide a certain illusion of depth perception, and it is perhaps a little easier on the eyes in terms of fatigue.
