Not impressed. Ordered unused, got used (in more ways than one). Key code was scratched off. Contacted Amazon for exchange, was simply told to contact Microsoft tech support, nothing more. Won’t do this with Amamzon again.

I got this as a gift for my husband. The copy of the book was in good condition and I was very pleased that he read it right away.

I wanted to give a positive review for this book amongst the recent negative ones.

When you read “Twilight” keep in mind it is a simple, light, young-adult read. It is not educational, it is not great literature that will be read in classrooms; It is just a nice, feel good story that sucks you in and distracts you for a while akin to plopping down on the couch and turning on cable TV after a long day.

With that said, I personally enjoyed the novel. I felt the plot was creative and the story sucked me in enough where I always wanted to see what came next. The relationship between Bella and Edward was touching and believable, and I felt emotionally invested in the story as the characters fell in love. The book made me feel high and happy for days after reading it.

I was a bit disappointed, as others have said, in the shallowness of the characters. In particular, I felt like a 100-year old vampire should have a lot more depth to him. I was hoping for more insight into Edward’s philosophy–how a character like Edward sees himself, the world and his relationships. But then again, the story was told from the point of view of a teenager and as a simple read, I imagined the author probably did not want to go into philosophy in the same way that Anne Rice did with her thought-provoking vampire novels.

I was hoping to see Bella really question herself and her relationship with Edward. And I desperately wanted to see a real suspenseful climax where Edward was overtaken by Bella in a moment of true weakness, and her life was seriously threatened by him–as a I felt the book forewarned many times but never followed through with.

All in all, I think the book served its purpose in entertainment. I did finish the series, but I found all the other books to be too lengthy, inconsistent and far-fetched for my taste. As a potential spoiler to anyone who may be clueless about what comes next.. I did not find the werewolfs to be a pleasing addition to the series. Once I read this

I had seen the book in the bookstore but decided not to buy it until I found a copy for $ .50. I loved it. I have read it and listened to it on CD now several times and still find myself laughing out loud. The characters are likeable and complex, the plot is smooth but keeps you on your toes. The technology that he has developed is amazing and very cool. Even more, the technology is based on environmentally sound ideas that are subtle but do make you think. I read my first copy until it fell apart and then bought a hard back (I hardly ever buy hard back.) I have bought this book several times as a gift and even had my mother read it. FANTASTIC BOOK!

Good: The cable was very inexpensive, shipping was fast

Bad: Cable caused terrible screen flicker and aliasing on two different LCD TVs (Toshiba 42″ Regza 1080P and Sharp 42″) from 480P (Panasonic DVD player), 720P/1080i (Motorola cable box) and 1080P (Xbox 360 Elite and Samsung Blue-Ray player) sources.

I don’t recommend that purchase this product, spend a couple more bucks and get this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00356K6U0/ref=pd_rate_rs

I dont like to flame a product, but I was very disappointed with this HDMI cable (even for $3)

I was always curious about this book. I have heard of it for as long as I can remember. I have seen many referencs made to it. And I know there was a relationship with this book tied to Mark David Chapman, the assasin of John Lennon.

What I don’t understand is what the big deal is about it. It is well written and very discriptive but ultimately seems pointless. It follows a few days in the life of a student expelled from his school and doesn’t really go anywhere or make any point. I am not a big reader of fiction so maybe I’m missing something here.

All I can say is if you have been one, like myself who has always been curious about “The Catcher and the Rye”, don’t waste your time.

Got this just before knee surgery and just recently got around to playing with my Kindle. I live where there is no reception so I downloaded a couple books on my computer and transferred to my Kindle. As I’m not real good at this I called Customer Service and was sooooo pleased with them. He walked me through the process step by step. It’s comforting to know they are there and so helpful AND did not make me feel stupid. Very very pleased.
