This product worked exactly as it is supposed to and was 10% of what Radio Shack and others wanted for the same cable. Don’t waste your money…buy this one.

As avid readers there are times when we are apt to encounter books that continue and linger in our minds once read. For me, “Water for Elephants” was a serendipitous find and I truly and lovingly enjoyed this novel. It’s one of those books that you never want to end. There is reason why this book has been on the NY Times bestseller list for more than 12 consecutive weeks. As many reviewers have already recounted the summary I will simply say just READ IT! I promise you will be searching for more of Sara Gruen’s novels. BTW, Apehouse is the next novel to be released!

I am in third grade and my teacher recommended this book to me.
Artemis Fowl is a 12 year old boy who is trying to save his family fortune. He is a criminal mastermind and he works with fairy technology. The book is exciting because Artemis fights many different creatures including: centaurs, fairies, sprites goblins and gnomes. It was a fantastic book.

I absolutely love this watch. I was a little nervous about buying it after reading some bad reviews but I am soooo glad I bought it. It is true, it takes some time to acquire the satellite signal but I have not experienced a drop in the signal.
The GPS is very accurate. I mapped my route before running and when the watch said I was done… I was done! You can set it to let you know when you reach certain distances. I have mine beep every mile and it helps my runs along. Also, I love breakdown it does, on the computer and the actual watch. Based on your settings it let’s you know what your pace was for each interval, your average heart rate, and your max heart rate. Another plus is that it is very easy to load my runs from my Forerunner 305 to my [...] profile. And based on the information you can plot different parts of your runs against each other.

I must say I just LOVE this watch and you should definitely get one!!!

I was not impressed with the book. Yes, it is intriguing and well-written. But the “wisdom” is what I would expect an articulate, well-versed liberal arts professor to say. So much of it is what we want to hear, what we want to believe. I felt like Neale created a God that placates people, tells them what they want to hear, tells of the wisdom of this age. I have read and studied several religious texts, from the Bible, the Koran, the Torah, etc. In my studies I came to know that the Bible holds the truth of God – but this is a realization for all of us to have individually with God. I actually picked up CwG before I came to believe in the Bible – and I put it down after I read it thinking that the book was filled with man’s wisdom. I had a course in college that taught the same thing. I was seeking God’s true wisdom and studied Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, etc.

This book is nothing new, and tells people what they want to hear – not the truth of things. I don’t think God was the one moving Neale’s pen, I believe it was Neale’s own thoughts and wisdom moving his pen.

So, you can choose to listen to God’s truth or Neale’s truth. But this book is clearly full of Neale’s truth. The book takes basic modern-day mysticism tenets and attributes them to God moving Neale’s pen so Neale can enlighten the world.

First I must apologise to readers of the Artemis Fowl series – I do not particularly like these stories. Having said that, I should explain.
I’m an over-the-hill adult. I’ve read Harry Potter (I was introduced to it by a niece), and my first reaction to HP was that it seemed to be written by (rather than ‘for’) a ten-year-old. Artemis Fowl reads like it was written by someone who has a database full of cliche plot and buzz-words (elf, dwarf fairy, centaur) at their disposal, and simply drops them in at random intervals.
I made the mistake of purchasing two AF books at the one time, thinking that might save me a trip back to the bookshop. I expected to be entertained. I was disappointed. I did not fall into the trap of comparing Colfer with Tolkien, or Rowling, or even JM Barrie. He’s just not up to scratch in his own right. Admitted, he had the germ of a good idea (hence the two stars) but the characters are so unbelievable – and he interchanges words like ‘fairy’ and ‘elf’ as though they are the same thing! That, if nothing else, shows a disrespect for the genre.
I will force myself to finish ‘the Arctic Incident’, in the hope that matters improve, bt i don’t hold out much hope. I’m sorry, Mr Colfer, but it reeks.
Kroo Purple and Pink

This is a great book. I read it several years ago and loved it.
But at the time of review it is selling at a ridiculous price
The Kindle edition is selling for $4 more than the paperback.
Blue Lizard Baby SPF#30

It’s nice to finally own a bathroom scale that doesn’t change its mind about my weight, no matter how many times in a row I step on and off the thing. Its slim, sleek design makes it a snap to store or nice to look at if it’s left in plain sight. The glass body is easy to clean, and the large, backlit display is even easier to read. The simplicity of use, quality of construction, and fair price make this little scale one great buy!

Love the Kindle – sure beats lugging books around on an airplane. Two drawbacks that I have: 1) The square joystick is awkward to use. 2) Can’t download to a printer the highlighted notes that you make while reading.
