Artemis Fowl 1 is one of the best books I’ve ever read. Probably in my top 10. The characters were very different from each other, each with his own personality. This book had an okay plot: Artemis was desperate to get his family’s wealth back by stealing the gold from fairies. I enjoyed it. This book engrossed me entirely. I thirst to read the next books and so might you.

This product delivers exactly how it is advertised!! And it is the only grooming tool I have found that does this. I would recommend the Furminator to any pet owner.

Bought one for Christmas. Love it! Don’t really have anything negative to say…except I wish the games weren’t so expensive.

Wow, why didn’t I get this sooner! I am very satisfied with this purchase and highly recommend it. My criteria when shopping for a mp3 player was that it have a wi-fi option. I think it’s a little big for sticking in my pocket to take walks, etc., but can’t really complain as I wouldn’t want the screen any smaller. I’ve used an Apple PC before, so accessing the different options was easy. It is a little different from a MS program, but I think it’s less buggy and will last longer. Yay!!!

I have very occasionally seen squirrely or inconsistent readings (solved last time by replacing the batteries) – but overall am getting consistent, precise, reliable readings: easy to read, hard to fudge or deny. The result, for me, has been *much* greater success at sticking to a sensible weight-loss diet. I feel fantastic and am on my way to looking a whole lot better, too! Thank you EatSmart — you make it easier.

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

My brother got me this book for my birthday. A lot of my co-workers and friends who have already read it recommended it to me. I haven’t read a book that really moved me the way this one is. I’m right in the middle of it right now and it is so enthraling and exciting to find out what happens next. Each chapter leaves you wanting more before they switch who’s perspective you’re seeing things through. As you read on, you start to have your questions from previous chapters answered. It’s also a real eye-opener to how recent all of the issues with the Civil Rights movement was. Even though this book is fictional, it’s so real. I’m not even a big history person and I really didn’t know much about the Civil Rights movement. What I learned in school, I pretty much have stored in the most hidden depths of my mind at this point. This book is opening those drawers and reminding me of a lot of forgotten history and it is also very inspiring to know that there are still books about people who want to stand up for what they believe in. Read this book. You will not be sorry. It’s an easy read, it’s very well written (don’t be fooled by what seems like type-os.), and at least from what I’ve read thus far, it’s not raunchy so you could read it with your kids. Plus, the chapters are not very long which makes it easier to read with people if that’s your thing. Enjoy!

I quite enjoyed this one. Normally I am not a big fan of constant point-of-view switches, but these are done smoothly and sensibly; not disjointing at all. The characters are great fun to follow along, and the story had me wanting to jump right back in to see what happened next.

I absolutely love this thing.I don’t know how I ever survived without it! I love the convenience of being able to run anywhere on road or off without worrying about tracking my distance. It really motivates me during my runs too.
