The Time Traveler's Wife
Bettie Shrek wrotes: Purchased for daughter for Valentine. She states that book
was not as interesting (plot hard to follow)as thought would be.
She donated to school library.

Susannah Marie wrotes: I had very high hopes for this novel. I saw the previews for the movie on TV and wanted to read the book first. I finished the book last week, and I thought it was poorly written. There was no character development in the book at all. There was lack of emotion...I never could figure out what it...

Megan Giles wrotes: This book was so creepy I had to stop reading halfway through. An older man travels back in time to manipulate a young girl and mold her into his future wife, bleh!! Talk about your creepy pedo vibes. He is sociopathic and cares nothing if his actions (stealing for instance) hurt other people,...

Stacey Sizemore wrotes: Shipping was very prompt, and the book as in excellent condition, as described. I was completely satisfied with purchase.

Ashlie Ann Frazier wrotes: It was beautiful and lovely. Fantastic and made me cry. So happy and so sad.
I loved it and I am a hard person to sway.



The Unofficial Guide Walt Disney World 2010 (Unofficial Guides)
Celeste Rebensky wrotes: This book is very helpful in planning our 2nd trip to Disney. Worth the money and reading time.

Debranator wrotes: I have been buying the unofficial guide..for every trip to Disney world..since the mid 90's.....
when a fellow park hopper..showed me her touring plan.
And..they are always worth the price of the book/ALWAYS.
As other posters have stated...not everything is perfect...but it will...

Ta'Shara wrotes: I decided to purchase this guide after purchasing PassPorter's 2010 guide, and it was the perfect compliment. Whereas most guides, with the except of these mentioned, gives you the sugar coated review of rides attractions and so forth, Bob gives you the raw, nitty gritty of what you'll expect to...

grandma h wrotes:
At first this book seems overwhelming, and if the book seems over whelming imagine how one feels when getting to the parks. But, after reading the book you come away with a better understanding and the overwhelming feeling turns into excitement. One thing I found very helpful for me is I...

TDM wrotes: Once again the Unofficial Guide comes through as the top Disney World Guide out there. The tips and research done by this team of Disney experts is second to none. The greatest part of this book is the section on touring plans. The research from the book as well as the accompanying website is...



Maui Revealed: The Ultimate Guidebook (Maui Revealed)
Alaska Anna wrotes: This is a great book and very popular. It seemed most people doing driving tours around the island had one. They also have them for sale on Maui but it is best to buy ahead of time and mark up the things you want to go see. There is so much to go and do in Maui, I was shocked. We didn't get to...

D. Bilak wrotes: I already have "Big Island Revealed" so I knew I needed this one. Very accurate info delivered in a casual and sometimes comical way. Best guide books I have ever read. With this book one can just about plan all their daily vacation outings from the mainland, but bring the book anyway.

Phillip Cleveland wrotes: I purchased this book on recommendations from other travellers to Maui and even though I haven't read it all yet, the information, tips, tricks, hints and suggestions are fantastic. I am a first time traveller to Maui and unlike many other publications this one gives you expert analysis on the...

robert mitchell wrotes: If you find yourself going to Maui or any of the other islands (all covered to some extent by Wizard Publications "Revealed" series) and you're interested in relatively inexpensive activities focused on the outdoors, these are the guidebooks for you. First of all, the books are packed with...

RR wrotes: This is the single book I needed. Took a look at many others, but this was the most friendly.



Rick Steves' Paris 2010
N. Hopkins wrotes: If you know Paris well, Steve's "Paris" might be useful. Might. Only "might" because his recommendations are sorted by neighborhoods. Worse yet, some "neighborhoods," like the centrally located Opéra, are given short shrift. The entertainment/nightlife section/s are also skimpy. For once the "F"...

R. Janelli wrotes: My wife and I bought two books to Paris with us. Rick Steves book and the Travelling Professor's Guide to Paris.

Rick Steves book has EVERYTHING in it. So, if you need to know about the Rocky Horror Picture Show (page 448) or staying in a Youth Hostel (I am 54 years old) or even...

Marisa D wrotes: Although I use Amazon reviews for most of my buying research, this is one of the handful of times I feel compelled to put in my 10 cents. My friend and I went to Paris a couple months ago - my first time, her second time. Our edition, purchased in December 2009, had no publishing mistakes....

R. McNealy wrotes: Would never consider taking a European trip without consulting Rick Steves. Great look at all aspects of the trip from his unique - Back Door - approach. Coupled with Zagat's Restaurant Guide, this is all you need for a spectacular Paris experience. Walk and Metro are the key ways to see this city.

CB wrotes: This is a great book with great information for people who aren't likely to go on guided tours but still want to get the benefit of the information. I also downloaded the Rick Steeves' podcasts from iTunes.



Rick Steves' Italy 2010 with map
Jean A. Mccormick wrotes: I have traveled to Italy many times. Every other year I purchase Rick's book on Italy, I always learn many new things. March will be my 33 trip so I know what I am talking about. experiment a little take a chance and travel if you can.

goingsomewhere wrotes: We are still planning our trip to Italy, but are finding this book to be the most valuable resource we have. It goes beyond lists of hotels and lists of restaurants. This book truly gives tips, advice, and 'how to'. It's given us the confidence to attempt this trip on our own.

Ellen J. Bell wrotes: Rick Steves is specific about what to see, where to stay and what you actually get, what not to miss and how to get to everything. Oh, and how much it will cost. I have used other Steves' guidebooks, and he is right on the money.

Grain O Sand wrotes: We went to Italy in 2007 and had the corresponding Steve's guidebook...as did every other touron in Italy that fall. Don't get me wrong the guidebook was great but I sure felt like a dork sitting in a restaurant with 20 other people who all had the same guidebook. "Oh what does Rick say I should...

R. Aguas wrotes: I mostly rely on various websites when I travel but I found Spain to be just too large to handle on my own; so last year, I decided to get Steves' Spain book. Now that I'm getting ready to explore Italy, I've once more turned to Steves' guide book. He offers the most valuable practical...



Birnbaum's Walt Disney World 2010
grandma h wrotes:
Good book. Lots of information, very easy to read and follow. When finished you will be excited for you vacation to come and confidence that you will be able to see as much as your time allows. Attractions are covered, shopping, dining, as well as activities out side of the parks...

Lisa Z wrotes: I buy this book every year that we go to Disney. Would not go without it. Very detailed.

Bookworm Beth wrotes: Wonderfully helpful book for anyone planning a vacation to Walt Disney World. The book was recommended to me by someone who had the 1999 edition. This was updated for the current year and has been most helpful in planning my vacation...especially from a financial point of view!

J. LaFond wrotes: This book offers great insider tips and tricks to navigate the Disney World parks. We found it to be extremely useful and will be getting a new one with each of our trips to Disney!

Phyllis Keith Young wrotes: I have visited Disney World numerous times since 1994. Each year I purchase this guide as I have found it most helpful in getting around the park. It covers new attractions and shows that I might have otherwise miss!! Each time someone ask me about vacationing in Disney World, I tell them this is...



More Diners, Drive-ins and Dives: A Drop-Top Culinary Cruise Through America's Finest and Funkiest Joints
Lawrence Wheeler wrotes: I enjoy the TV show and during road trips I look for places that made the show. I have found a couple and found them as presented. The book has several of the restaurant's recepies which I'm trying to duplicate. Just my place doesn't have the ambiance.

Wera Buccheri wrotes: WONDERFUL, I do hope Guy writes another one, as he conitinues to criss cross America, finding wonderful Family Businesses.

I have now have both Books and will use it as I go on a road trip and try out a few of these places. Wonderful.

J. Hedrick wrotes: I was amazed how fast we received the book and it was in excellent condition.

Sacramento Book Review wrotes: As with his previous book, //More Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives// is in author Guy Fieri's own words, off the hook. If you are a fan of his Food Network TV show of the same name, you will love this book. It's fun to read - even if you never plan to make any of the recipes included in the book....

Wendy Hale wrotes: Fun book! Along with Fieri's TV show, it makes you want to jump in your car and start exploring these fun places to eat! Recommend it for anyone who likes driving trips and eating.



Rick Steves' Italian Phrase Book and Dictionary
Shirley Croce wrotes: Haven't been to italy since we bought this but reading it allevietes any fears of "language barriers". Looking forward to using it.

Lauren Klus wrotes: I like that this book has phrases that you might not think that you will need. it categorizes phrases by subjects which helps when youre in a rush (food, greetings etc)

C. C. Watson wrotes: This will be very helpful on my trip to Italy in April....altho I know Italian, there are some things I don't remember.....

C. Hill wrotes: Was so well taken care of by tour director that I didnt need to use this book, but enjoyed reading it. Left it with tour director.

PB wrotes: I'm going to have to break with other reviewers here, and give my less-than-stellar review of this book. We purchased this before we left for our European trip to Paris and 3 cities in Italy. We also purchased the French book by Steve's. Before we left we thought we'd found the perfect book with...



Rick Steves' Ireland 2010 with map
Jean A. Mccormick wrotes: This is probably the 10th book I have bought by Rick Steves. I travel alot. His books are full of information you can use or not it is your choice. I have nothing bad to say about his books. We are going to Ireland this summer for several books and have booked many B&B's he has suggested,...

Linda wrotes: Getting Through the "Back Door"
Review of Rick Steves' travel guidebooks
Since 1980 Rick Steves' "back door" travel philosophy has guided Americans through Europe. Before publishing his first Europe Through the Back Door guide, Steves taught about travel in a classroom. Now he has a...

Shoeluver wrotes: We spent 9 days in Ireland in summer 2009. We're a 50's couple and have traveled a lot and like to stay out in the country side. This guide is by no means a complete guide to Ireland, and there are a lot of places that are not mentioned. For example, we spent a great nice at Bantry House in...

Sidhechilde wrotes: It is always a pleasure to be in the old country. But things/shops/restaurants change of course. Rick Steves gives current news which helps the traveler re-visit the " I gotta go back and see the......... again" and dine/stay/travel/visit with ease and confidence.

Casey Contini wrotes: As usual, Rick has done a supurb job at bringing a country to life. A little history, a little joking, and a lot of what to see and where to go. Rick is right up front, Ireland is a country to be experienced, not just seen. The people are the real key to the heart of Ireland. Bring your voice and...



Oahu Revealed: The Ultimate Guide to Honolulu, Waikiki & Beyond (Oahu Revisited)
Leonard S. Flores Jr. wrotes: This book is definatley worth it's price! The information is easy to understand and will help all traveler's to Oahu on the "what to do" and "where to go" subjects,as well as the places to avoid.

Exploring chick wrotes: I bought this book based on other reviews I read. The book is very informative and gives direct opinions on tours, dining, and hotels. We were able to find alot of discounted places to eat thanks to the book for good food. Also, the hiking section was very good as we did the lighthouse hike...

M. Campling wrotes: The "Blue Books" by Andrew Doughty on the Hawaiian Islands are by far the best guide books that we've ever used. We've been to the all of the islands several times and each time we use these books to enhance our trip. We've never had a bad meal, bad excursion, or bad hotel thanks to these...

coppertwins wrotes: I bought this book for our 2006 trip to O'ahu. It is an invaluable guide, and as so many others have said, it seems to mirror exactly what I felt about my trip there. I found everything point-on, including the hotel reviews.

I bought it about three months prior to our trip, and spent...

Howdy 2 U wrotes: I love all the Hawaii revealed books, as they let you know where the real gems are - the hidden places that most tourist will never visit.
