I got this iPod 2 months ago and very satisfied. I can check my emails using wi fi while listening to music. Chat with friends using YM and watch movies in bed. Very handy and I am enjoying all the applications. It’s a good choice getting this 32gb iPod. All you need is iTunes to sync songs, movies & photos.

I had heard many good things about this novel with many recommendations that, as a Harry Potter fan, I would enjoy it. I’m happy to say that it lived up to all of the hype. This is yet another example of a fine writer producing children’s literature that’s not all that childish. Like a really well-done cartoon, there’s plenty in its pages to entertain and amuse children and many references that will go straight over their heads but that adults will enjoy.

The language Colfer uses is really wonderful. He doesn’t try to dumb it down and the vocabulary is colorful and would be a nice challenge for younger children and yet it’s not so academic that it becomes daunting. Colfer uses colorful language and does an excellent job of setting the scene and creating believable and fun dialogue.

The best thing about this book, though, is Colfer’s prodigious imagination. Artemis is a very fun and unexpected character and the Butlers were also a lot of fun, particularly Julia with her penchant for wrestling. Colfer’s twists on traditional folklore and fairytale creatures is very innovative and his take on how the “Mud People” stereotype fairies, elves, and dwarves was a riot. Colfer is very adept at using such satire to great effect and while kids will find it funny, adults will appreciate how Colfer pokes fun at our own world.

Overall, this book is a great deal of fun and I look very forward to reading the next installment.

Good value. My 7 year old son loves the bike. Postives: the 20″ wheels are a good fit for him, the mountain bike style is much to be desired by my son, frame is solid, set up was 15 minutes, attractive colors, great price, chain guard so the kids pants to get ripped up in the gear. Negatives: hand brakes are a little difficult for my son to get a good grip on (he’ll grow into Pacific Evolution Boys Mountain Bike , gears are a little cheap. Gear 5 & 6 rub the chain against the tire. Good value when you look at what the bike has to offer vs. the price.
