Great product- I had no idea how much hair my cat was swallowing till I used this! It’s amazing and has cut down on shedding drastically. Just make sure you groom where you can vacuum later, because there will be A LOT of hair coming off =)

This whole series is great! I love how the author captures your attention at the very beginning and then keeps me enthralled throughout the entire book. There is action, adventure, and mystery as well as character development. This is an easy read and very enjoyable!

I am in third grade and my teacher recommended this book to me.
Artemis Fowl is a 12 year old boy who is trying to save his family fortune. He is a criminal mastermind and he works with fairy technology. The book is exciting because Artemis fights many different creatures including: centaurs, fairies, sprites goblins and gnomes. It was a fantastic book.

Smaller then I thought but very nice. The only drawback is that you can’t put very much in it. Too small for bills.

I read this book at a very busy time of my life, when I had only about haft of a month to finish my MS degree of Chemistry (something related to “water”:) No regret at all about spending 1 day to finish reading! Love it, love the characters, love the elephant 
And, the book became an excellent bedtime story for my husband, who doesn’t like (and doesn’t have time) to read novels at all

I love my itouch! I can’t leave without it, I’m kind of adicted to it. I bring it with me everywhere I go. I Have watched movies, vídeos, and listen to my favorite music plus playing games. There is a whole new world of entertainment opened to me. I’m very glad for the decision that I made and I encourage the lovers of music, movies and visual entertainment to buy one right away.

Title: The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger
Pages: 214
Time spent on the “to read” shelf: 4 or 5 months I think.
Days spent reading it: 4 days.
Why I read it: The Catcher in the Rye is an American classic and very controversial. I honestly wanted to see what was so controversial. Also, it was one of those “classics” that I did not read while in high school. In researching about it later I read that in 1981 it was the most censored book in US high schools and the second most taught book in high schools. It was one of the 10 most challenged books in 2005, but it came off the list in 2006. Those are some fun facts for you.
Brief review:
This book frankly annoyed me. The writing has very repetitive and had many aggravating sayings in it. The word “really” is used almost as much as the curse words that are prevalent throughout the book (one reason it is often censored–I would guess that gd appears 2-3 times a page at minimum, sometimes significantly more). And I assure you, both appear more than they need to, I really mean it.
Holden Caulfield is the main character. He is the epitome of teenage angst. His world is utterly pessimistic. He sees only the bad in everything except his sister and his deceased younger brother. He is bright, but is failing out of school. He is obsessed with sex, but cannot develop a relationship with a girl. He is active and pursues all the pleasure trappings that a big city have, but has no defining meaning to his life.
The book covers three days between him being kicked out of school and his untimely return home. Holden is depressed, hates everyone, exaggerates EVERYTHING (annoyingly so), and seems to have few people skills. In short, he is the perfect anti-hero and irritating enough that I did not like him one bit while reading this book.
I suppose this book speaks to the hearts of some disaffected youth, but they would have to be interested in drudging through 200 pages of dribble in order to find the voic

I didn’t buy much of how the fairies were done as technical marvels and the whole idea of a 12 year old BOY could do and think all these wonderful plans is well, half baked. Not sure if a 12 year old mind could quiet grasp such concepts so easily. The over teched faries and their allies were overdone. Fairies can still be faires w/o all the gadgetry and stil be dangerous. But the faries here weren’t particullary dangerous just overdone and arrogant and it took soemthing away with all this tech they amazingly have. The writing was moving but the author did come in and add himself in the commentary and as a case file, well I hope the next batch of case files are better. I did like Butler. He did have a conciensce and it did show. There were brief flashes that also appealed to an adult reader, but they were subtle but thoughtful. Not exactly a powerhouse book. Also the faires themselves seemed just as destructive as the mud people (we humans) they looked down on. Root toking on a stogie? Odd…

I can not heap any more praise on this book that hasn’t already been written. All I can say is that I couldn’t put the book down. At times there was so much tension between some of the characters, that I actually had to pause and get the courage up to finish the next few pages. Help is a classic! I downloaded it onto an iPod Touch using the ibook app. Great way to read when your on the go.
