I bought this along with the garmin unit. Prouduct works better then any suction cup mount. easy to move, east to store. I am not sorry I paid extra for this mount.

Amazing series. Love love love the Twilight Saga. Romantic, fun, edge-of-your-seat read. I could not put these down until I finished all 4 books!

This mounting works just as advertised, it adheres well to the windshield. I think it would be even more useful if the flexible arm was about 3 or 4 inches longer

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.
Friends But No Allies

Exactly what I expected, great product for the cost, easily stores away in car, does not move around on dash

So I have finished reading Artemis Fowl and I am currently working on decoding he message at the bottom of the pages. The book itself is good. Eoin Colfer really takes an old subject like fairies and leprechauns and gives it a new twist. However the book is a little adolescent in it’s nature, I suspect Colfer is trying to copy the success Ms. Rowling has had with Harry Potter by appealing to young people without offending their parents. The plots are compelling and original but the action is subdued. Colfer makes fun of himself by playfully catching himself before any vulgarities are written, trying to give the piece and off the cuff feel. All this aside I must say that I do recommend this book not only to children middle school and younger but also to adults who are looking for a quick read that is also entertaining. While it’s not Shakespeare it is surprising the amount of emotional attachment that we feel towards the title character. Eoin gives us hints that Artemis has not yet revealed his true nature we shall see as Artemis grows up how he handles the responsibility of his knowledge of the People.

I previously had a 32 GB iPod and loved it to death, but it barely had enough room to hold my music and I wanted some flexibility in what I could carry on it. When the 64 GB iPod came out I jumped on it. I love having the freedom to have as many apps as I want at my fingertips as well as plenty of room to throw TV shows and movies on the iPod as well. (I really enjoy having Firefly available to view anytime I want!)

The iPod is fantastic because there are so many application options to choose from, there is truly something for everyone. I’m a 34 year old guy who uses it constantly and I have a 5 year old niece that can’t keep her hands off it! Truly, young or old, anyone would enjoy this.

While everyone is entitled to her own story, as a writer as well as an avid reader, I was amazed at how poorly written and executed this novel was. First and foremost, Stockett’s attempt at “dialect” was woefully inauthentic, and just came across as “bad black English.” (Further, I found it interesting that she choose not write in white Mississipian dialect as well, perhaps wanting us to believe that these counterparts somehow spoke proper, standard Engish.) Thematically, the bathroom motif was overused and became downright boring, as well as Hilly’s, the main antagonist’s, strange and ineradicable rottenness. In this regard, I think Stockett went too much for shock rather than a much needed nuance. I did not feel the urgency at the end of the novel, the fact that if the secret was let out about the book, all hell was going to break loose in Jackson, the likes of which had never been experienced.

If anything, what is minutely redeeming about the novel is the like you develop for the main characters: Aibeleen, Skeeter and Minny. I liken this novel to a sitcom where you may not like every episode, but you nevertheless like the actors. However, since this is obviously not one, the novel, in the end, fails.

The Catcher in the Rye by J.D Salinger is just about the best book I have ever read. From the very begginning of the book until the very last words, I could connect with this mysterious character Salinger created. Although Holden was quite hard to figure out, he stil had a very strong sense of humor. With a smart-alec tone to his thoughts you gradually find out his past and his present. In the entire book you embark on a journey to uncover Holden’s true self. In Holden’s mind you go through the same typical midlife crisis a teen would. This was a very good book and deserves a spot on the bookshelf next to the Harry Potter series. I advise anyone of any age to read this book and think whats beyond the words. People have interpreted this in so many ways and theres no entirely correct way. Great Job, Salinger.

My wife asked me to order the vacuum for her and she has been delighted with the performance of the new unit. We have now been using it for 2 months so she has been able to fully try it out.
