I took an instant dislike to the title character, and the more I read, the less I liked him. It is easy to see the appeal to a certain age group: the kid is smart, he has resources, and he has his own private goon squad to sic on anyone who displeases him. The author has created a sociopathic little monster with the moral compass of a pit viper. Great role model for the younger set! Every once in a while, the author tries to insert something to make us like Artemis better. He loves his mommy – so have most of the serial killers in real life. Now and then he questions (sort of) what he is doing, then he goes ahead and does it anyways. His victims in the first book are the fairies, and I give the author credit for a nice take on the little people – I was rooting for them all the way. If it hadn’t been for this imaginative portrayal, I would have been looking for a way to give this book a negative star rating. The story is well written, which makes the subject matter even more appalling. I will not be purchasing any more books in the series.

It’s now been 9 months since I bought this as a present from my wife.
Every now and then it seems I am inspired to by a decent present.
I cannot recommend this highly enough.
If your partner likes reading then this is the ultimate item to buy!
Highly recommended!

We purchased 2 of these cards last August, one to be used with a Nikon D40x, and one for a new Nikon D5000. The one being used in the D40x became unreadable within a few weeks, although we were able to recover the images with recovery software after much frustration and some expense in time and money. The one being used in the D5000 survived about a year, but just became unreadable as well. Fortunately, they were not critical pictures. Buy something else. I did, and I’ll let you know how the SanDisk I just ordered works out….

I was reviewing information about Julian Dyke, his presentations and publications are very good in general. This book in particular has interesting chapters like “Trace and Diagnostics” and “RAC Internals”. It’s not easy to find books with internals because this information in general is restricted. In my opinion is not for beginners, you need to have an Oracle background. I would highly recommend this book if you are an Oracle DBA working or starting with Oracle Clusters & Linux

As I was reading this book I was thinking “Holden Caulfield is such a jerk! He’s disrespectful to elders, he’s blasphemous, he can’t see past the end of his nose, and he’s an aimless kid who’s heading nowhere fast.”
But guess what? That describes me when I was a kid! In fact, it describes a huge percentage of America! And it also describes a big percentage of American youth. J.D Salinger caught lightening in a bottle with this timeless, classic look at American teen angst. Based on the way the story is told, it could have been written at any time during the 20th century, and it still speaks to us today. Because of all the swearing and the potty mouth thinking of the book’s central figure, I’, not sure I would recommend this for a high school class, but it would make for a good book for a college class and something that every one who cares about timeless lit should read.
I should also say that as frustrating as it is to get inside the mind of Holden Caulfield, I came away from the book with a sense of hope, that maybe the kid won’t be a schmuck for the rest of his life after all. In that sense, when I see Holden Caulfield, I see myself.
Lezyne SV 10 Multi
I picked this up not knowing a thing about it except the blurb, so I was pleasantly surprised to find this story of love and betrayal under the big top one of the most engaging tales I’ve read in a long while. I’m not much into romance, but this is so much more than that so I couldn’t pull myself away. As a bonus I learned about the dark side of the circus industry during that era. Gaslighting, where they throw the circus hands off the train in the middle of the night to avoid having to pay them, was a new term to me. Despite the cut-throat world they live in, the young veterinarian protagonist and the circus star he has a crush on, try to rise above it all at risk of life and limb.
What tops it off is the story has one of the most satisfying endings I’ve encountered in a long time. I’ve passed my book along to my mother and it has since gone through the hands of three of my sisters. They all loved it. I’m a big fan.
