Received the cables on time as promised. Works just as well as the more expensive cables, however, I only use them to play my DVD Movies since I only have Dish Network without HD. But the DVD movies are Awesome. Much more brillent color, sharper picture and super surround sound. You don’t need to use any RCA jacks, just the HDMI Cable does it all. Simple clear package keeps the price down and the connection ends are well protected with cap protectors. Glad I bought them and THANKS AGAIN Amazon……

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…

Artemis Fowl, by Eoin Colfer is a definite must read fantasy that I would recommend to kids ages 10 and up. The story starts off in Ho Chi Minh City. Artemis Fowl and his bodyguard, Butler, are meeting a man who supposedly is going to take them to see a fairy. They meet a fairy who has lost all her magic due rice wine. Artemis tricks her and gets The Book in exchange for her life. The Book is a special book that holds all the fairy’s secrets including how they get their magic. At the same time Captain Holly Short a LEPrecon (Lower Elements Police) officer, is on a special mission to defend the humans from a deadly troll. Although what she doesn’t know is that she is about to be captured by… Artemis Fowl!
Artemis Fowl is unlike any other any other twelve year old boy. He is completely ghost pale with dark hair. The sinister look in his eye is enough to send shivers down the toughest man’s spines. He’s determined to become a master thief and carry on the Fowl legacy. Artemis is an ultimate genius and is always one step ahead. He’s quick on improvising and very daring. He also feels as well as acts superior, therefore he doesn’t treat most people with respect. The only friend he has is his bodyguard, Butler. Artemis speaks with an incredible adult-sounding vocabulary, and doesn’t show many feelings, except for the times that he is torn because his mother is losing her mind ever since his father mysteriously disappeared. As you can tell, Artemis Fowl is absolutely no ordinary twelve year old boy.
Artemis Fowl is about to put his knowledge to the test as he takes on the fairies in a fast-paced marvelous read that will keep you reading to the end, and then have you begging for more of Artemis Fowl!
Christopher and His Friends

“The Help” is a beautifully written book, full of humor and brutal honesty. You fall in love with the characters instantly and root for them the whole way. I really hope Katherine Stockett writes another book soon because her style just steals your attention away. She took a great risk in narrating as two black Southern women, herself being a white Southern woman, but did it in an incredibly sincere way.
