Review title: No Bore Product review: Academic accounts of regional conflicts are often dry and tedious reads. Dr. van Hartesveldt's retelling of the history of this conflict is engaging and accessible. He gives life to the stories of the men who fought in this bitter struggle and provides an understanding of the importance of the Boer war in the greater story of the rise and fall of the British empire. An enjoyable and enlightening read.

Review title: Good cast wasted on a mediocre script Product review: Hugh Grant had a hard act to follow after 'Notting Hill' and this film didn't do the trick. Grant's comedic talent and dry wit were not enough to help this inane script. Like this year's other mafia spoof, `Analyze This', this comedy about a proper English auctioneer marrying into the mob isn't sure whether it is trying to be serious or slapstick. Unfortunately it fails at both.Grant provides the film's only redemption, scattering laughs sparsely through the film through sheer talent. Jeanne Tripplehorn looks terrific in a red slip and did a credible job of making this resemble a romantic comedy. James Caan's dramatic talent was wasted in his vacuous role as the prospective father in law. Probably the best performance was turned in by Burt Young playing the serious don as Uncle Vito.I rated this film a 5/10. The film has its moments, but not enough of them. For Hugh Grant fans, it's worth a look. Otherwise you might want to pass.

Review title: Looks great - poor quality Product review: This faucet looks very slick, was easy to install, and works well, but after using it for about 9 months metal starts to peel off from the handles.Warranty is supposed to cover replacement parts, but I have notbeen able to reach the warranty department yet and I do not look forward to spending Saturday afternoon replacing the handles.For the price of this faucet I would expect a product of better quality.I will definitely not buy another product from Danze.

Review title: Excellent but could have certain design enhancements Product review: The camera, although slightly bigger than the Canon Elph and the Revio Z-2, produces excellent photographs. The features are robust and it delivers a zoom capability that surpasses many in its size and price category. The only drawback I have found is the slightly awkeward placement of the zoom buttons (compared to the Elph). All in all, it is a great buy.
