This is a pretty good story. That being said, this woman is a terrible writer. If I took a drink every time she described Edward’s eyes or overly described some mundane detail I would be completely wasted after a single page. See the movie instead… unless you like a good drinking game.

I read this book for my monthly book club. It definitely brought up several hours of dialogue. Though I do not necessarily agree with everything the Author stated, it did make me think about a lot of things. It touched several members in my bookclub and for some they felt it depended on your personal relationship with God. Some of us just choose to follow the Bible instead of this book. However, we can respect that this is how the Author felt the Lord was talking to him.

I’ve just read the first one and am off to devour the second. Despite the fact that he’s 12, Artemis Fowl is funny, smart, and encompasses all the human failings an adult story should. I especially enjoyed Butler, with his obsessive need to protect his charge and his wickedly effective and funny ways of doing it. Juliet, his sister, annoyed me but added to the overall effect of the Fowl household.

Holly Short, the fairy LEP officer kidnapped by Artemis, was far from the all-knowing fairy folk we’re used to, and in fact this story makes consistent fun of many of the old tales. Makes fun of and expands on their stories, actually, producing a new world to enjoy.

The supporting cast is generally well-rounded, if a bit stereotyped and I hope Mr. Colfer will expand on each of them. All in all, very enjoyable and I look forward to the rest of the series.

First, I was really impressed by the fast shipping from eforcity. 5 stars for them!!

THe cable doesnt look cheap like I thought. actually it looks great and well made. It works like a charm. I hooked it up with my xbox 360 and pictures are clear and sound is perfect. I know maybe it wont last long but u get what u pay for. its 3 bucks!! so far I have not had any problem with it.

I bought this because amazonbasics hdmi cale is out of stock. If u have a chance, go with amazonbasics cable. only 2$ more and Im pretty sure it is better than this cable. Im satisfied with my purchase anyway

Genuine NEW Okidata 52116002

This is the third Omron pedometer I have owned. The pedometer is small enough to slip in your pocket and clips easily to a waistband in its holder. The added feature of a safety clip has saved my pedometer from inadvertently hitting the ground. The Omron HJ-112 is accurate when programmed correctly. If you take the time to measure your steps as directed in the instructions, it rarely is off by one step. There is a caution about keeping the pedometer away from water and it means it! I used to place mine by my sink and accidently got it damp. It stopped functioning. I have also discovered that if you slip it inside a sports bra it will keep an accurate count of steps but the trade off is perspiration causing it to shut down. Avoid mositure at all cost! I would recommend this product to anyone looking for a good pedometer that is dependable.

Why must I return the whole product why cant they just send me blue cover I have to take product apart because I had it put together before I realized this part broken last purchase from amazon.

Title: The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger

Pages: 214

Time spent on the “to read” shelf: 4 or 5 months I think.

Days spent reading it: 4 days.

Why I read it: The Catcher in the Rye is an American classic and very controversial. I honestly wanted to see what was so controversial. Also, it was one of those “classics” that I did not read while in high school. In researching about it later I read that in 1981 it was the most censored book in US high schools and the second most taught book in high schools. It was one of the 10 most challenged books in 2005, but it came off the list in 2006. Those are some fun facts for you.

Brief review:
This book frankly annoyed me. The writing has very repetitive and had many aggravating sayings in it. The word “really” is used almost as much as the curse words that are prevalent throughout the book (one reason it is often censored–I would guess that gd appears 2-3 times a page at minimum, sometimes significantly more). And I assure you, both appear more than they need to, I really mean it.

Holden Caulfield is the main character. He is the epitome of teenage angst. His world is utterly pessimistic. He sees only the bad in everything except his sister and his deceased younger brother. He is bright, but is failing out of school. He is obsessed with sex, but cannot develop a relationship with a girl. He is active and pursues all the pleasure trappings that a big city have, but has no defining meaning to his life.

The book covers three days between him being kicked out of school and his untimely return home. Holden is depressed, hates everyone, exaggerates EVERYTHING (annoyingly so), and seems to have few people skills. In short, he is the perfect anti-hero and irritating enough that I did not like him one bit while reading this book.

I suppose this book speaks to the hearts of some disaffected youth, but they would have to be interested in drudging through 200 pages of dribble in order to find the voic

The DVD version is fine, but with the Blu Ray they forgot to make a subtitle track for the documentaries that show subtitles when English is not being spoken. A default subtitle track is supposed to be set for movies and bonus features where non-English is spoken among English. This way you only see subtitles on the screen when someone is not speaking English. Since they screwed that up here, you have to manually set the caption for English every time someone speaks other (which on this program is very frequently) Either that or you have to leave the subtitles on the whole time which is distracting. This screw-up is almost as bad as rereleasing “Waterworld” for Bluray and DVD but only putting the extended version on the DVD. If they want people to take bluray seriously as the new home video standard, they need to quit screwing around. Celine’s show is great though.
