MIcrosoft Office is an outstanding resource that is delivered to most new computers and notebooks, but the software is only a temp. application and will be terminated after a trial period. I chose to continue using the software.

The actual main character (Artemis Fowl) was despicable. I doubt I will read anymore of these “Foul” books. I gave this two stars only because I really liked the main fairy Holly and had to finish the book to find out if her and her compadres were okay. The book should center around them instead of an unlikable snotwad like Artemis Fowl.

The easiest-to-use, easiest-to-read pedometer I’ve ever tried. Just stick it in your pocket and it records all your steps, even identifying which steps were aerobic and calculating your aerobic time. A great way to track your progress toward getting those 10,000+ steps every day! It also records your daily miles and calories burned and an especially nice added bonus is the memory feature — a good way to see how well (or not!) you’ve done during the previous seven days.Omron HJ-112 Digital Pocket Pedometer

I’ve heard so many good things about this book, not to mention I’ve read the author’s previous book, Riding Lessons, so I was curious about this one.

Her writing was fantastic in this book, a great improvement over her previous ones, though there was the odd word choice here and there that I raised my eyebrow to. I loved how we got to see the daily life of Jacob as a 90-year-old man, who looks back on his days of his youth, and then we see the true story evolve from his younger version’s eyes. I loved and felt quite a bit of sympathy for the main character when he was older, everything was done realistically; from the passage of time that wore down his body, his inability to do things that he once did, the loss of his ability to remember and keep track of things he should know, and the heartbreak he feels at being left behind by those he loved.

Pictures head the start of each chapter from the pov of the younger Jacob, with amazing insight to the circuses of old. I loved the amount of research she incorporated into the story and it brought a great sense of realism to the already fluid prose. Each of her characters had their flaws, quirks, and even the animals were fresh and had their own voice. Rosie especially was a neat one. I felt sorry for her a lot of times because I’m quite sure the way she was treated probably occurs with great frequency at a lot of circuses or performing acts.

I’m not sure about the ending though, it seemed too neatly wrapped up, and the rising tension to the climax of the book wasn’t as striking as I thought it could be. The prologue, in my opinion, could have been cut out because it sort of took the fun out of the ending.

But anywho, great book. I wasn’t disappointed.

We’ve had this scale for awhile now. We appreciate having a scale that is consistently accurate. We had another brand; you would get a different reading every time you stepped on it, even after replacing the batteries. We’ve had no problems turning it on with a tap of the foot. The numbers are large and easily read. It looks good too. We are very happy with our choice.

Order was delivered promptly and professionally. Quite a few changes in this product that will require some time to learn but I think I will like it. I have had some trouble in Excel switching from one sheet to another in a workbook. At times it takes several attempts. Perhaps that is a problem with my new computer?

The case itself it great. However, after purchasing this item fraudulent charges began on my debit card. The bank is investigating……..for now I would never buy anything from this company because I beleive the charges came after I opened the amazon prime account. First I had a $1 charge……from researching the internet this is how the charges start……they charge $1 to see if it will go through then a few days later they hit you……after the $1 charge I had a $199.97 charge taken from my debit card. Beware is all I can say about this.

I purchased my Kindle back in January to use during deployments. So far in this deployment it has done an excellent job, and the fact that I do not have to carry books around with me is even better, since it saves on packing space. I love reading, so one of the greatest things about the Kindle is being able to download books to read wherever I have an internet connection. This is my first e-reader, and I was a bit worried about how it would be on my eyes after long periods of reading. However I have found that it is actually very relaxing on the eyes, completely unlike looking at a computer screen for long periods of time. Top that off with an excellent book selection, and a very easy to navigate device, and I love the Kindle.

So why only 3 stars, you ask?

What bothers me the most is I did make some purchases that I do not like, and wish I could remove them from my account completely. However there is no way to permanently delete items. Instead the unwanted items remain on my Amazon account, and on my Kindle in the Archived Items. If there was a way to remove the items I do not want permanently I would easily bump my review to between 4 and 4 1/2 stars.

The next problem I have with the Kindle is the poor filing system. If there was a way to organize the books to the customers preference using a folder system that would bump my review up to 5 stars.

So overall to me Great Product, but only 3 stars.

Bought as a Christmas gift for my son. It arrived on time and in perfect condition. My son was very happy and has enjoyed his gift tremendously.

I re-read this book in preparation for the release of the New Moon movie. I’m not normally a re-reader – I actually can’t remember ever re-reading a book in my adult life. It was just as good the second time around – I still had trouble putting down even though I knew what was going to happen.

I was fully prepared not to like this book. I’d heard it was poorly written and it is. But I liked it anyway! The story is really engaging despite the way it’s written. I liked it so much I went out and bought the next book in the series the day I finished this one. I’m hooked!
