I LOVED this story and the voices were wonderful.
This story brings you right into the lives of these southern women and brings them to life. The characters are vivid and bright and just wonderful to listen to. I was so sad to have it end – I may just start listening to it again!!
Star Wars Thank You
I first read “The Catcher…” while in High School as a required reading assignment.
My impression of this story was so great that I started and finished in one go. It is the book that got me interested in reading. As a result, I purchased this book as a gift to my grandson who happens to be an advid reader at the age of 5 years.
Star Trek T Shirt
Office 2007 was purchased used, but in new condition. It installed as new with the proper codes. The menus in Windows Office 2007 are all new and some of the familiar ways of doing things all together different. Otherwise it’s a great product and I’m sure that some use will bring back familiarity.
Star Wars The Clone
Had been searching for this product in stores and on the internet for a reasonable price. The price was one of the lowest I found and the quality of the product was very good..brand new. It shipped very fast and I am quite pleased with this transaction. I would recommend that anyone who is thinking of buying this product buy it from Amazon. com. Reasonable price and excellent quality.

Reading on the Kindle is a one-handed experience which makes it comfortable and convenient in all situations – from the waiting area of your auto service center to late at night bed. It keeps your page, let’s you highlight text and quickly get the definition of a unfamiliar word. It turns out that reading a printed book is a cumbersome, two-handed experience. Who knew? I usually have several books going at once – my current novel, a non-fiction and two different translations of the bible. This is the future of reading!

Artemis Fowl
Eoin Colfer
The main character is Artemis Fowl, a 12-year-old boy who is a cunning mastermind. He won’t stop until he gets his hands on fairy gold. Another important character is Captain Holly Short who is a magical elf on LEPrecon. She has no time to “refuel” her magic so her magic is very weak.
Artemis plans to take a fairy hostage for large sums of fairy gold! He is doing this evil scheme so that he can restore the Fowl family’s reputation and fortune.
The setting of the story takes place in many different locations but mostly at the Fowl mansion. The story goes on for a long 10 days, in current time.
The theme of this story is money because Artemis tries to steal fairy gold to reestablish his wealth.
I liked the story because you could never put the book down. It always kept you guessing on what the next step would be for the LEPrecon force and how Artemis would react.
Star Wars The Clone
I bought this book just a week or so before Salinger died. I finished the book I was reading a few days after his passing and decided to finally read this alleged masterpiece — and masterpiece it is, indeed. I wish I would have read it when I was 17, but alas, I waited until age 31. Nevertheless, I remember what it was like to be 17, and honestly, I related to the character Holden Caulfield a lot today; even as a married father and professional “phony.” I can only imagine how utterly groundbreaking this book must have been when it was first published in 1951.
What I loved about the book: I could say “everything,” because I did, but I’ll give a few specifics. First, I loved the voice in which it was written. Holden is sarcastic, snotty, and just way too cool for almost everything — just like I was when I was 17. I loved the exaggerations and hyperbole. I identified with his descent into near-madness, being in that awkward stage between childhood and adulthood, not knowing what to do, not really understanding or not wanting to deal with the consequences of your actions, really just not being ready to grow up. As Holden wanders New York in a sleep-deprived stupor, he explores these issues within his mind; he jumps from one feeling to another, and breaks down and cries more than once. It truly is a powerful novel, and one of the three best I’ve ever read. Five stars all the way.
The book is just 214 pages and a breeze to read. If you haven’t read it, you should. I’ve been reading a lot of “classic” novels lately and this is the first one that I know for a fact I will be reading again in the future. I could see myself reading this every couple of years for the rest of my life — it was that good.
