I don’t want to waste anymore of my life on this book so my review will be brief. I do not understand the popularity of this book. It is poorly written. The characters and relationships portrayed are shallow, unhealthy, and annoying. The dialogue is insipid and embarrassing. I’m genuinely surprised that I suffered through to the end of it. There are SO many books that are more worthy.

This is the perfect solution for “mounting” a GPS. I drive on a very windy road every day to get to work, and my GPS has not budged an inch! It’s easy to grab the whole unit and put on the floor under my seat when I park, then put it back while I’m driving. Highly recommended.

Wonderful book- great story where we can see into the lives of several southern women, all flawed, all real. What an amazing piece of work– character study as well as history lesson.

Speaker volume is entirely too low. Can’t hear if there are any noises in room. Must turn off tv and air to hear, then you can barely hear the extremely low volume.

Computer works well, but extremely disappointed with the weak speakers. Volume is fine when exterior speakers, headphones or earbuds are used.

Would be a great computer if it had decent speakers…

This review is particularly of Nathaniel Parker’s narration, and not so much of the Artemis Fowl book itself, as there are already so many reviews on that.

If you want an auditory treat, get this audiobook – Nat Parker is a genius when it comes to bringing these characters to life. He does wonderful accents – there are multiple Irish accents for Artemis, Butler, Juliet and Angeline, but many others for the fairy people which are just amazing. In addition, his own, natural speaking /reading voice is so smooth , resonant and perfectly paced that is is a treat in itself. Unlike other audiobooks which I have listened to, you can’t hear him breathing – with some readers you hear every big breath they take and it gets irritating. He reads it perfectly and the great fun is in the rapid dialogue exchanges where he must manage different voices with different accents as well as the narrator’s voice.

The story itself, well, there are some boring and technical parts which I tried to read, and Artemis’s character is not terribly likeable, but the way Parker voices him makes you feel some affection for the character.

If you like the books, this is a worthwhile addition because of the way the characters are brought to life – and if you didn’t like the books, it’s a great listen just for Parker’s enormous vocal talent.

The reviews already submitted about this scale are excellent so I will not go into great detail. This scale is extremely accurate EVERY TIME.
I weighted myself at home 3 times and then about 15 minutes later at my gym with their professional scale. The EatSmart scale was right on every time.
Amazing value and quality product.

This is a Category 1 cable, i.e., it only supports standard HDMI (720P) and is what Comcast provides with its HDMI cable boxes. Spend $10 and get a Cat 2 (High Speed) 1.4a cable. It’s well worth the investment.

Without question this is a 5 star product. It was easy to put together, easy to operate, and very light weight. The 12 amp power is a real plus. My 7 year old carpet looks like new! I had been cleaning it with a Dirt Devil carpet cleaner, but it had lost its mogo :0) I saw this amazing price on Amazon–which no one else could beat (not to mention free shipping), and I thought I would give it a try. So glad I did–the water in the tank was BLACK….thanks to our sweet dog Stella. Anyway, the bottom line is–you will not be disappointed.

Your pen starts moving on its own and tells you it’s God and you believe it? Are you kidding me? Gullible much?

If there is a God, then this isn’t Him. If there is a Satan, then he’s definitely a ghost author here.

Even with an open mind, this book killed more brain cells than I could afford. God already wrote a love letter that explains His heart. It runs from Genesis to Revelation. Check it out some time.
