Artemis Fowl is a great book for kids.

This book is about a 12 year old boy named Artemis who is a genius and has a head for schemes. Artemis along with his body guard Butler go on adventures in an attempt to get his families fortune back. In order to accomplish this task his current scheme is to see if he can steal fairy gold without dying.

The Fairy world is made up of a lot of different creatures who are policed by a group called the LEPrecons. Holly Short a member of the fairy LEPrecon Unit gets herself kidnapped by Artemis. The LEPrecon force works to save Holly, stop Artemis, and protect there most favorite thing…Gold.

This the first of many adventures that Artemis, Butler, and Holly have together. I would recommend this book to anyone who would be willing to go on an adventuress adventure.

I loved the characters, the way it was written, the beauty of the language. The only thing I didn’t like was that it ended. Very realistic characters some of whom you love, some you hate, but you want to meet them all. It was both interesting and emotional to see from the other side of the coin…sort of like an “upstairs Downstairs” of the south. I don’t think either side was painted all good or all bad, we were just able to see the two worlds interact and the “realities” of both sides.

I would definitely recommend this book…it also has a beautiful love story. The narrative style of using each main character’s voice was great.

Water for Elephants is an interesting text because it is not especially well written, the story is pure soap opera, and yet it is an enjoyable read that at times evokes a long gone era. I think it suffers from overly effusive praise and so many readers are bitterly disappointed once they get through it.
First, let’s look at the strengths of the novel. I enjoyed the evocations of circus and train life. Gruen clearly spent some time working on these descriptions of circus life and there are little Depression era details that were nice historical jewels for the reader to mine. Also effective was her characterization of old Jacob. His voice was witty and biting and he provided the most pleasure of any character in the text. Chapter nineteen of the novel is the saddest depiction of rest home life I have read in literature. A man is forgotten by his family, and the scene is heartbreaking.
Now to examine the reasons why this book is unsatisfying. First off the characters from the 1930s parts of the novel are some of the weakest characterizations I have seen in a book in a long time. They are stock characters at best, and the villains are the mustache twirling men from melodrama. It is hard to care about any of the characters because they are so transparently fake. Even more distracting then the weak characterization is the incredibly insipid (and modern sounding) dialogue Gruen puts in their mouths. She has such nice historical details in the setting of the text, why couldn’t she also use it in the dialogue?
Many readers have found the ending unsatisfying, and although it is ridiculous, it fits the novel so I won’t argue with it. The cloying depiction of animals is also a little beyond the pale, but again, I simply had to come to terms with the novel for what it is. It is popular fiction. It is a melodrama you will get caught up in. And for those purposes it is adequate. Don’t go into it expecting more than what it is capable of giving and you will be satisfied.

Katey, my long haired, large sized Maine Coon kitty is half the cat with the FURminator. I was doubtful of what it could do and fearful that it would somehow hurt her. I’m now a believer and love using it, and most importantly, Katey loves it too! She never minded being groomed and pampered, but the FURminator must really ease the itch and definitely rids her of all the extra under coat fur. Now after four days of use, the amount of hair taken off is going down, but the first two days were amazing! Only problem is the mess! My advice is go outside and wear a large long sleeve shirt you can take off and shake out when your done. YES, that much fur is eliminated. Worth every penny and more.

Garmin’s portable friction mount is perfect, simply put. I’ve used it to keep my Nuvi at bay in my wife’s Camry, my Ranger, and my work van. While my wife’s car is used primarily for highway and city travel, my truck and my work van frequently find their way onto pothole-laden back roads, gravel roads, dirt roads and even in construction zones. My truck and van bounce all over the place and this friction mount doesn’t move. The console on my van has numerous slots and open spaces for keeping work related items, and I often place my GPS over one of these holes with only the outer edges of the friction mount touching an actual surface. This doesn’t prevent the mount from doing its job, though. It stays put for the long haul.

It has very solid construction, a locking mechanism to keep your GPS in place and can easily be taken off of your dash or (in the case of my van), the console and tucked out of the way so that potential thieves aren’t tipped off to your possession of a GPS.

I highly recommend this friction mount for the simple fact that it does what it says it will do, and that’s keep your GPS in sight when you need it and out of sight when you don’t.

Researched a lot of scales. I have bought several scales but so far this was the easiest to setup, the easiest to see, and the most constantly accurate in weight. I was concerned as to whether I would be able to view the results since my eye sight is not what it used to be, but I need not have worried, it was excellent with the bluish backlight and large area and no nonsense display. I very much like these scales!

This is a great alternative to the same cable sold by Microsoft. It has the same function, and serves the job perfectly well.

I also bought an adapter to use it with my Dell monitor. Works swimmingly.

This Hoover is simply great.
It’s light, easy to use, and better than any of the bag-less vacuums I’ve tried.
We’ve got 2 dogs and one sheds more than a sheep. This vacuum makes quick work of dog hair and normal household dirt.
It’s easy to change the bags and the attachments are accessible and also easy to use.
So far, this Hoover has performed much better than the more-expensive bag-less units we’ve used.
Five stars all the way.
