YOU MUST READ THIS BOOK. It arrived quickly and in excellent condition. I read it in no time since each page was better than the last. I laughed, I cried, and it reminded me of my childhood when I went to the circus. I recommended it to our book club and several friends.

If you’re looking for advice on a gaming system, I’ll tell you what a teenager told us. If you’re looking to buy for a younger child, say over 5 but younger than 14, then get the Wii. But, if you’re buying for a teenager, then they’re looking into the Xbox. So, there you have it, from the lips of a teen. So, off we went to get the Wii since we old folks could work out with it as well. It has been the best investment! We can use it with the Wii Sports, and the kids get to have a blast with it with the games. It’s so easy to use, the setup is easy (an 8-year-old did ours), and well, it’s just been a marvelous addition to the gametime in this house. A word of caution, however, be SURE you read the directions. There are warnings enclosed that state things like “Don’t play longer than 45 minutes at a time.” The Wii can cause seizures in people so be sure you pay attention to that stuff. Other than that, it’s great. Highly recommend!

I am one of those people that loves to read! On vacation, I can read 1-2 books a week, which needless to say, means that the book space in our home is dwindling. So, I started to look at the Kindle as a space saving option, but was a little worried that I would miss the “feel” of a real book. I can honestly say that after a little over a month with the Kindle, not only do I not miss the feel of books, I totally love my Kindle! In fact, my husband and I were looking at the bargain books in a bookstore the other day, and I didn’t even want anything, preferring instead to find something on my Kindle! I did extensive research before buying the Kindle, and I agree with what many other reviewers have said…why didn’t I go for one earlier??? I would suggest getting to know the features a bit before you settle into reading, as I did, because then you can use the Kindle to its full potential once you are enjoying a book. I would highly recommend this product to anyone who wants a device that is environmentally friendly, easy to use, and, overall, allows for a great reading experience!

No complaints at all. A fraction of the price of other cables in stores, and this one works just great for me. Would definitely buy again if I ever need more.

I recieved this spatula from my grandmother about 2 years ago and fell in love! Since then, I have purchased three others simply because I use them to cook almost everything. They are perfect for my nonstick pans, baking and are very soft and flexible, yet sturdy enough to be used as a spoon and to stir things. I also do not have to worry about constantly watching them becuase they will not melt up to 500 degrees.

Interestingly, I had never had Apple product until I bought this. I am not a big fan of Apple company but I have to admit that this device rocks!!!

This is a very indispensible tool for a student.

First I needed a PDA like function that I can organize and carry. Like doing To Do list and check them off. Several years ago, I know PDA back then with very limited function could do that for like $300. I am glad I did not waste my money back then. This is very portable like PDA except it has much more stuffs. So wherever I go, I can review my college lectures with device or watch anime or even listen to music when I feel tired.

Second, I needed big capacity MP3 player. My old iRiver MP3 player could only store 5gb. Not enough for me, who also listen to big foreign language MP3 files. I hate keep deleting files and replace new ones etc. This Ipod Touch 3rd generation 64GB gives me more than enough space to store all my language MP3 files as well as thousands of trance, pop, foreign music. I still have 45GB and I will add up anime and school lectures videos in different file. The sound quality is superb with my SHURE 420K isolating earphone.

It can also play video well. Resolution may not be the best for lecture and tutorial types of videos but it does still good job.

What I really like is the application store. For example, I like learning many foreign languages and there were many free and $1-2 application that seemed worth a lot. Many free application were good if you browsed them through.

The wifi internet works awesome as long as it has signal. Of course, it would have been wonderful if it could be like iphone, which connects online pretty much anywhere but what do you expect from ipod? it sure is more than what I needed. awesome feature!

Everything is good from what I see. Nice sleek external design, definitely. I love the curve of the back silver case.

A few cons I like to share:

This cable is the real thing in terms of quality, construction and durability. The other cheaper cables fell apart while this one keeps strong! I use it every day in a classroom and I love it. Highly recommend!

I won’t go into a long review here– I read mostly non-fiction because fiction typically bores me. About 10-20% of the time, though, I like to switch to fiction to enjoy “lighter” reading than the non-fiction I typically read. I picked up Catcher in the Rye in a bookstore on a whim the other day. It really, really blew me away! I NEVER laugh out loud when I’m reading, and I must’ve literally laughed outloud several dozen times when reading this book. It was SO funny! And just brilliantly written, enjoyable to read, fun but serious at times, etc. Just a great book, a classic, and one that I should’ve read earlier in life (I’m 37 now). I will likely re-read it every few years just to remind myself how much of a page-turner it was…

The nice thing about this book is that its full of humour and action, but not the standard knights in shining armor on a battlefield kind of action as it is with most fantasy books. While the latter is fun to read as well, it is nice to get a break from those epic type fantasies, and that is exactly what Artemis Fowl delivers, albiet in a more teen friendly way.

An interesting storyline combined with good humor and a very interesting main character makes this a great read for teens.
