The system was in OK condition for not what I expected for what I paid. I had to replace the wireless bar that receives the remotes commands because the wire had been cut, and for that cost I could have just paid the extra 20.00 for a new system instead of 20 less for the used one. I am not real happy about this.

The book is set in Ireland for the most part and is written by an Irish author. Artemis Fowl is a twelve year old genius, who lives on an estate outside of Dublin. He has decided to replace his family’s failing wealth by stealing a Fairy’s `Book’. Artemis learns the language and customs of fairies, and develops a complicated plan to capture a fairy, Holly, in order to trade her for all the gold in the LEPrecons hostage fund. Holly is an energetic Fairy with a bit to prove since her recent catastrophe. The book is fast paced and interesting. The difference between the two worlds is intriguing. The author alternates between the viewpoint of Artemis and Holly. At one point in the middle of the book, the author’s voice pops in and introduces another character, literally. The effect was a speed bump while reading. This is a world where the different species interact; dwarf, trolls, mud people (humans) and fairies are alive and interesting. The author alluded to at least two other stories related to the characters in this book. The problem with the book is I didn’t really identify with any of the characters. There were interesting passages about Artemis and Holly, the Butler character was intriguing, and Commander Root was unique, but none of them had me cheering for them to succeed. Holly was the friendliest character, but she was not the main character. It would be interesting to have a student debate the ethics of Artemis’ plan. What was the good Artemis accomplished? Or was there any at all? The end of the book specifically states that we should not interpret Artemis’ actions regarding his mother and anything other than selfishness. Students will identify with Artemis because he is so smart, smarter than everyone around him, what kid doesn’t feel that? He gets to order around all the adults in his world as well. Artemis is a classic teenager in some ways as well; he wants his mother around, but only on his terms and doing what he wants her to do. I would recommend thi

The kindle is, coupled with amazon.com, a wonderful device. My 2nd kindle (the first was stolen)
is great except: When I am browsing my newspaper, often the select button does not select the
article I want to read but pulls up the next article instead. This is somewhat irritating!

It is great that amazon restored onto my new kindle the books I had on my stolen kindle. Thanks!

I’m not one for reading much about history or about civil rights, but this was an amazing book. The book was very well written and very hard to put down. I would recommend this book to anyone and will lend it to everyone I know. I want everyone to know how great this book was and to experience The Help.

This book was interesting and exciting. Artemis is a very believable character and made even funnier by the fact he is a child. Anyone that likes books on faeries and mystery will love this book.

Sara Gruen’s “Water for Elephants” pulls you in to an intriguing world right from the very first page. The story is a masterful accounting of Jacob Jankowski’s days working as a vetinerian for the Benzini Brothers Most Spectacular Show on Earth, as relived by Jacob in his late years while residing in an assisted living home. Gruen moves the reader effortlessly from the past to the present and back again. The passages describing Jacob’s experience with the circus are delightful, engaging, and at times sad and horrifying. However, some of the more emotional passages are of Jacob’s elderly years. Gruen’s novel evokes the smell, feel, and taste of the Depression years even though the story’s focus is on the traveling circus. Her ability to bring to life the characters and their emotions is superb. I haven’t read a novel with such a unique plot in a long time. This novel was more than entertaining — it satisfyingly brought to life another time and place.

This is the better choice when mounting your GPS. In many states, mine included, it is illegal to mount devices on the windshield. This product allow you to have the GPS in clear view without obstructing your visual field. It is easy to set up & easy to use. It stays in place & doesn’t slide all over your dash when you make turns. This was a very smart purchase. You will love it!
