I have used this brand before and find it is great for the price. The type 6 was preferred due to the speed of the application. I have had 4 Transcend memory sticks over the past 12 months (CF and SD) and all have worked flawlessly at speeds necessary to keep up with a multiple high speed sequence shooting using a Canon Rebel Digital. I highly recommend this brand as it is great for the price with the reliability to match.

Eoin Colfer took me to a place of imaginary wonder. The character of Artemis is unique, a pleasure, and a delight to learn about. The character of Butler redifines body guard. I adored the fairy storyline. Will there ever by a movie? If there is I will crap my pants.

I was disappointed with this purchase. A hard copy of the product was never shipped to me. I sent an e-mail to the seller and never received a response. Had I know it was a download purchase, I never would have made it. I wanted the box and disc.

Bought one for Christmas. Love it! Don’t really have anything negative to say…except I wish the games weren’t so expensive.

I was looking forward to reading this book but SO disappointed. It was all vulgar descriptions, nudity, profanity, and basically no plot. I got halfway through and couldn’t get any farther. i don’t recommend it.

I watched the movie “twilight” and was really disappointed so i thought may be it didn’t do the book justice so i downloaded the book sample to my kindle and boy, it is just as disappointing!! The story is just NOT THAT interesting! The characters are not likable. The writing is decent but the predictable storyline and mediocre plot are just not enough! I know it’s cliché to make the main character a role model but Bella is FAR from it. She is not the kind of girl that I’d want my sister/daughter/niece to grow up to be. I agree with some of the reviews (the ones that are rated most helpful) that she is a whining, self-center girl with poor judgment. I hate to think that some little girls out there wanting to be like Bella. Nooo…!

If you are looking for a romantic story with a bit of adventure, mystery and charming history/culture elements, I highly recommend “Tiger’s Curse” series by Colleen Houck. That story is far more interesting, captivating and romantic and not over-the-top unrealistic. It’s much better for younger readers out there.

I purchased a book which was listed “new condition”. The book had stains all over the cover and there were many, many hi-lited areas in red marker throughout the book. I’m very disappointed!

I am really happy with the product, but almost wish I would have bought the wider version. I had borrowed a friend’s wider Hoover SteamVacWide V and it worked great, but all the reviews said this model was the best as far as no leaking and suction go. I have to empty and refill the containers much more often with this model because they are smaller than the Wide V, but if your carpet area is small, that isn’t as much of a concern.

Definately love the separate containers for clean and dirty water-that’s a must in my book. Very easy to use and does a great job cleaning. The suction is excellent-even better than the rentals I’ve used- and my carpet dried in no time. It also comes with a bottle of carpet shampoo, which is not indicated on the box. Would definitely recommend this product, and the Hoover brand in general.

Artemis Fowl, by Eoin Colfer is a definite must read fantasy that I would recommend to kids ages 10 and up. The story starts off in Ho Chi Minh City. Artemis Fowl and his bodyguard, Butler, are meeting a man who supposedly is going to take them to see a fairy. They meet a fairy who has lost all her magic due rice wine. Artemis tricks her and gets The Book in exchange for her life. The Book is a special book that holds all the fairy’s secrets including how they get their magic. At the same time Captain Holly Short a LEPrecon (Lower Elements Police) officer, is on a special mission to defend the humans from a deadly troll. Although what she doesn’t know is that she is about to be captured by… Artemis Fowl!
Artemis Fowl is unlike any other any other twelve year old boy. He is completely ghost pale with dark hair. The sinister look in his eye is enough to send shivers down the toughest man’s spines. He’s determined to become a master thief and carry on the Fowl legacy. Artemis is an ultimate genius and is always one step ahead. He’s quick on improvising and very daring. He also feels as well as acts superior, therefore he doesn’t treat most people with respect. The only friend he has is his bodyguard, Butler. Artemis speaks with an incredible adult-sounding vocabulary, and doesn’t show many feelings, except for the times that he is torn because his mother is losing her mind ever since his father mysteriously disappeared. As you can tell, Artemis Fowl is absolutely no ordinary twelve year old boy.
Artemis Fowl is about to put his knowledge to the test as he takes on the fairies in a fast-paced marvelous read that will keep you reading to the end, and then have you begging for more of Artemis Fowl!

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.
