The wii is the best game system ever. Even though we are the last people on earth to own one. The Amazon purchase was a pleasant experience. The system came quickly and in great condition.

This product was what I hoped it would be when I installed it. Installation was easy, and I loaded it on a new computer with Windows 7 (64 bit), which I was a little concerned about since this program is 32 bit. So far it works great with no hiccups. If something should eventually come up I’ll post another review, but for now it works fine.

I bought one of these scales and am pleased as can be with it: the numbers are EASY to read, the scale is dead-on accurate (corroborated with a professional scale), and the .2 pound increments let you truly know which way you’re going with your diet. This scale is accurate enough to get a good fix on my CAT’S weight, too!
Unlike other scales, this one is not hideous at all. Its unobtrusive design and low height (just a tad over 1.25 inches high) means that most bathroom cabinet doors swing OVER the scale, so you don’t have to keep moving it around if your space is limited.
The scale reads true, measures quickly, and at about $29 on Amazon, it’s a steal: I’ve seen lousy products going for twice as much. PLUS, you’re buying a product from a small company that puts its all behind customer service (an impression gained from other reviews I’ve read on this site and confirmed by the kind “thank you” note the company sent me regarding my praise for its excellent service).
If you’re looking for a darned good scale at an excellent price, BUY THIS ONE.
PS: I just bought two more–one for my mother and one for a friend. It’s rare when you can be certain that people will be happy with the quality of a gift, and I have no doubts they’ll both be delighted.

Bought a nerf sniper gun for my little brother and got the extra darts since you can never find them all after shooting the gun.
Fun Nerf gun and accessories.

I have to admit that I was hesitant to pick up this book despite the rave reviews. Why? Because usually something gets over-hyped and I end up being disappointed. The Help, however, was riveting and better than I anticipated.
This novel follows 3 women, Aibileen and Minny, who are black servants, and Skeeter Phelan, a recent white college graduate, as they navigate life and love in Jackson, Mississippi. In the 60s, white families relied heavily on black maids to help raise children and keep the house in order. The dependency, however, does not mean that black maids are treated with respect or as equals. It is quite the contrary, and Skeeter, who desperately wants to become a writer, has picked the tenuous relationships between white women and their maids, as the subject of her book.
Why was this novel so good? Not only was it compelling, but Stockett wrote in a way that draws the reader in, and even though the book is long, it never dragged or slowed. The characters were well developed, and execution of different voices was distinct yet seamless. Although all the characters have faults, it made them endearing, and the rich voice of each narrator told the stunning tale of what it was like to be black in the 60s. This novel was written beautifully and I highly recommend it.

I’m in college so I don’t have the time to keep up with new and up-and-coming books, but I usually have a huge list come summertime. This was the first on that list and I’m so happy it was! It was the perfect way to start off my summer. The story is about an old man in a nursing home reflecting his thoughts and his story. After the death of his parents, he runs away from an ivy league and ends up on a circus train. His story is about his trials at the circus and his relationship with Marlena.
The imagery is bursting and the action is so suspenseful that I found myself reading as fast as I could and even skimming to find out what happened next. The characters are extremely likeable and you can relate to a lot of them. They’re quirky with tangible flaws and the progress of the story is perfect. So why 4 stars? The ending caught me quite off-guard. Everything was believable but because it was so realistic, the conclusion ended up being blunt and left me thinking “would something like this really happen?”. But it really is one of the best books I’ve read all year and believe all the other reviewers; it’s as good as they say it is.

With the recent death of its author, J.D. Salinger, I felt that it was time to finally do something I have been intending to do for years, read his classic. I was disappointed. Maybe it was because I had high expectations after all the hype. Maybe it was because I kept expecting something to happen, you know, the classic building action, climax, resolution thing. This book is nothing like this.
Written about a couple of days in the life of a teen who was newly expelled from yet another private high school, the author explores the traditionally pessimistic, skeptic, somewhat depressing view that youth has about the world created by his predecessors. Written with plenty of voice, this book is an enjoyable read, as the reader waits for something to develop. I could almost hear the voice of this book’s contemporary, Jack Kerouac, in the pages. But nothing does happen. Maybe that was the author’s point. In any case, I found that disappointing.
