Don't believe the hype!

Don't believe the hype!  I bought this based on reviews that I googled.  I was happy to spend the $.  I charged it about 3 times and it charged my devices ok.  But last Sunday - It couldn't even fully charge my ipad 4 at with the flux mob being fully charged.  My ipad was at 40% and this charged it to 50%.  Then to top it off, when I realllly needed a charge today, I plugged the flux mob in  6 different outlets and no light or indication that it was charging and my phone died.

I am returning this.  This is wack!  I don't recommend it at all.

6 hours of gameplay and most of the time you are just watching.  Might as well watch a movie.  The hype for this was just that.  Hype.  Don't waste your money.  Wait 6 months and get it or half the price if you have to try it.

I was disappointed after all the hype. I did not identify with any of the characters and was ready to get them all out of my house! It is well written and I stuck with it through the end, but it was a challenge for me.

Well, after a few weeks of research and debating I decided to try this weight out due to all the great reviews . First let me say I have a very high quality turntable and system so I thought it might be a nice addition , even though I had my doubts that it would actually improve the sound quality. I tried different records and different  genres of music and I saw absolutely NO DIFFERENCE AT ALL!!! this weight is basically a gimmick for audiofiles . I have various records with different  warps , bowl warps , etc and this weight did nothing to help them .  It doesnt weigh enough to flatten down even the most most mild small bowl warps . This isn't a clamp its simply a little weight and at the end of the day its just a waste of money in my opinion. Im not sure what all the five star reviews are taking about but I saw no change in sound at all! If you have mild to bad warps on your vinyl save your money and invest in a clamp . This thing is worthless

So I spent $60ish on a Mohu Leaf to replace my RCA indoor antenna that cost around $20. I expected the "high gain" antenna, that is three times the price of my RCA antenna, to have better reception.

Man what a delusion that was!

I'm in the burbs that has three network channels, Fox, PBS, and a handful of other smaller local stations. I'm not in a mountainous or hilly area.

My "cheap" RCA could pull them all in on a good day, and 80% of them on a normal day.

This "high gain" Mohu Leaf can't even pull in the network TV station that's about 5 miles away. It does pull in some of the channels, but not as many as I'd expect from a "high gain" $60ish antenna.

Were the Amazon product describers on crack cocaine when they wrote about this product? President Obama is more accurate on health care than Amazon is on this product.

This antenna is a major let down. The only ones to have "high gain" on this product are the idiots over at Mohu who gained $60ish of my dollars.

Don't buy into the over  hyped performance. Spend around $20 for a lower priced amplified antenna. It will do the same or better job as this piece of absolute over hyped, over priced garbage.

Given the name and the talent behind it, I was convinced this would be awesome. Even the description had me sold however it just didn't live up to the hype.

Since I didn't have a pod brewer, I originally tried brewing this coffee in a standard coffee maker which came out super weak even though I used 3 pods. Then I tried squeezing each of the pods into my coffee cup which made it a tad better but still weak. I drank this coffee black which I rarely do but any creamer would have just ruined it.

I also tried brewing it like a tea which just didn't work at all. Eventually I found a pod machine and it was weak just using one pod. After using about 7 pods to try out this coffee and get a desired result, I just gave up. I couldn't get the desired quality and as for taste, it's equivalent to something you'll find in McDonalds. I didn't get a hint of anything else.

Hmmm the hype, oh that hype! Too bad it didn't live up to it. :( Chris Weitz, as you might recognize as being the director of the Golden Compass and New Moon-to name a few-had me hooked at the beginning. I honestly was thinking this might be the BEST book of the year BUT, it really turned out to be your average done-to-death-plot. It was basically like rereading The Tribe, or Gone, but worse.

Now, I loved our MC Jefferson. He was INTERESTING and SMART. I loved the equality among the genders in his group in a dystopian YA, where when you only live until you are 18, you can be sure rape is abundant. The girls were not just walking toys. Jefferson and his group respected each other, which was very refreshing. There is rape in this book though, in case you were wondering. And animal and human cruelty.

Donna is our other protagonist just because she is. She WHINES a lot, she makes unintelligent observations, and she is a VERY DULL love interest. I could care less about her, which was very disappointing. The POV switches between Donna and Jefferson and I don't know why because she added NOTHING to the plot. Maybe it was because that nowadays, most YA are successful because it features a strong heroine? Maybe, but the Maze Runner, Enders Game, and The Giver make that point invalid. It was as if the author was trying to make her sound like a teen as she included "like" in nearly ever sentence and everything she said sounded as if she were asking a question....she came off as stupid to me at times.

The group believes they might have found a clue to the "Sickness"-I know, very original-and set off in search of it and I did enjoy it at first. And then it went downhill faster than you could imagine. You would think that after after a disease ran its course, the survivors would have built some sort of immunity to this disease, either genetically or medically, but they don't. I am not a professional by any means regarding diseases, but it's a proven fact that our bodies eventually will develop an immunity of sorts.

For some reason, weapons-ex-machina literally abounds. Seriously. I have read enough dystopian to have seen this before, but when this just becomes a thing, I balk.  How the heck do these kids just have a seemingly unlimited supply of weapons? Suspense and action scenes were literally thrown in at random either for shock factor or to try and keep you interested.

There is graphic violence towards humans and dogs so if you are squeasmish, here is your warning.

The hype surrounding this book does NOT live up to it. It's an overused plot that was poorly executed, and I spent full price the day it came out at Barnes and Nobles because I was sucked into the hype. I will be stepping off the hype-train now.

I thought this book was supposed to be about an early American serial killer, with the Chigago World's Fair as the backdrop. But nope, it's ALL about the world's fair. If you're interested in that sort of stuff, this books for you. If you want a book about serial killer H.H. Holmes, look elsewhere. This is not the book for you. Seriously dissappointed. Don't believe the hype!

This book starts with "hype"--how great it is to work for yourself, yada yada (there goes an easy 20% of the book), and the suggestions after that are pretty obvious and very generic--something anyone with a grain of sense would say.  NO depth, lots of self promotion.  Save your time, but...what's with all the 5 star reviews?

I happened to be looking at this book and noticed all the 5 star reviews dated July 4(the day I happen to be writing this).  As I was reading them, underneath where it says how long ago the review was added, SEVERAL were less than an hour old, and seemed to be about 6-7 minutes apart--I was seeing reviews from "38 minutes ago"  "44 minutes ago" and "53 minutes ago", etcetera.-they just kept growing, every 6 minutes, (after an hour the "minutes" ago changes to "an hour").  Hmmmm, Odd, isn't it?  That's about how long it takes to type one.  So I clicked on a half dozen reviewers, and oddly, this is the only book they reviewed (maybe now that I've said that, suddenly--every 6 minutes or so--they will have some other item reviewed--AFTER this book on July 4th).  Maybe that's just luck, but it makes me wonder...

I don't understand any of the hype surrounding this book. I gave up even trying to read it - something I very, very rarely do. Save your money.

After reading all of the glowing reviews, I was somewhat eager to taste what cashew juice would be like. Much to my surmise, it wasn't all that bad. But, it definitely was not worth all of the excess hype. It tasted somewhat like a very watered down version of carrot/pineapple/orange tropical fruit juice with a mild nutty aftertaste. Whoo whee. No magic or sparks. Now I can get on with my life. Not that bad of product, but nothing you can't afford to passup.

One thing I didn't like was that despite the depiction of a straw on the front of the carton, one did not come with my shipment. I don't know if got lost upon delivery or if one simply does not come with it at all. If the latter is the case, then I think it's a bit unfair to be that misleading. I know for sure that I did not like having to look for a glass to pour this into and the container is not all that easy and confortable to try drinking directly out of.

Furthermore, why in the heck did they decide to pack this as 11 ounces? It's nit picking, I know, but a wise observer would be able to tell that no matter what you do, you're either put in the bad situation of having too much for one individual's glass but still too little for two people to split it evenly and be left with enough. That is certainly frustrating when all you want to do is have juice.

If you decide to buy this, serve it thoroughly chilled and without ice. It tastes bad when it's warm and too watery when you add ice cubes. It'll also go well with a little hard alcohol mixed in it, preferably gin or rum.

Oh yeah, and it's made in Brazil, so if you've got a problem with imported products from that region (I don't, but I know some people who do), just a heads up.

Don't believe the marketing hype. This book is too technical and difficult for the general reader.

The only thing I understood was the (admittedly funny) anecdotes about penguin diagrams, Italian mobsters and Joe Hagelin's pink papers. (Peter, please send me that TM poster!) And yes, the author is insulted by two weird French guys confusing Latvia with Lithuania.

I also understood that questioning "string theory" can be, shall we say, a wee bit controversial. Apparently, one string theorist believes that critics should be handled like al-Qaeda and bombed by the American army!

By *why* is critique of string theory so controversial? And what on earth *is* string theory, in the first place? If your math is lousy (like mine -I understand addition and subtraction pertaining to my monthly salary, and even that just barely), you won't be able to gauge the answer from "Not even wrong".

I suppose this is how Peter Woit's college lectures for undergraduates sound like: a lot of advanced math with a couple of bizarre anecdotes thrown in to lighten up the proceedings. Nothing wrong with that, if you are the star student, but the rest of us prefer Lee Smolin's "The trouble with physics". And that book, too, is very difficult! However, if forced to choose, I'd rather try to digest Smolin than Woit.

Now, concerning that TM poster, my address is...

;-)

What's all the hype about? I really didn't think it was so good! Yes, cool special effects, but storyline was weak, predictable and corny!

Don't believe the hype.  The whole premise that "Quality" is an undefineable thing is ridiculous, and the whole rest of the book is built on that flawed premise.  A huge disappointment after hearing so many wonderful things about the book.

Ok. From reading the 5 star reviews, the listener could expect some house-wrecking beats, some hot singing, and lyrics worthy of a entertainer at the height of their creative powers.

Prepare to be disappointed. Again. This CD doesn't live up to the hype. I kept wondering while listening what CD everyone, who gushed about it, was listening to.  There is no attempt to grow or mature into a potentially legendary entertainer on this CD. All you notice is the sounds of cash registers ringing all over the world as people queue up ten deep to buy this crap and gush about it later to everyone with ears.

Don't waste your time looking for signature track, or swoon-worthy vocals as Beyonce has shown herself to be a vocalist incapable of singing ballads.  Her strength lies in up-tempo songs where she can do that rap-singing she has become famous for.  While that was enjoyable when she was a teenager; it is not something a married woman pushing thirty should be doing.

So...I give up! In the future, I will lower my expectations where Beyonce is concerned.

Absolute garbage! Everyone hyped it up like it would hold its air and be comfortable. It lost air and was extremely uncomfortable. If you have ever slept on an air mattress and thought, wow, this sucks. This is the same! I ended up sleeping on the floor to save my back. Seriously disappointed, do not believe the hype! Also this is way cheaper at Costco.
