It is well built with solid construction and the layout allows plenty of space for oversized power adapters.

I have to admit, i didn’t want to read this book. I read the 1st chapter to appease my daughter, and 1 chapter is all it took. I got so wrapped up in Stephenie Meyer’s extremely detailed writing about the main (human) character, Bella, that i felt like i was actually in the story. I found myself wanting to read “just one more page” before putting the book down. I fell asleep reading the book every night until i finished it. I have read it 5 more times since then. I love the connection between Bella (human girl) and Edward (vampire guy). To put a twist on things, Bella becomes best friends with Jacob, who is a werewolf (more a shapeshifter than actual werewolf). Needless to say, Jacob wants to be with Bella, and the love triangle is formed. Both male characters have such adoring qualities, that it makes it difficult to decide who we want to see Bella with. That said, there is so much more to this series than just a love triangle. There is lots of action and fight scenes as well. I can’t praise this series enough.

Until the 32GB SDHC cards come down in price, this 16GB gives you the most space per dollar. Been using this product in my Canon Vixia HF S10 for about 6 months now and it’s never failed me.

I thought it was a wonderful story. Growing up in and being a teenager in the 60’s in Wyoming, we weren’t exposed to much racial hatred, but watching the news was horrifying to me. I loved the characters. I will likely read it again.

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.

The product deserved 5 stars. The customer service by amazon deserved minus 5. I ordered it on a Friday and after 6 to 10 calls I receive it three weeks later after writing to the better business bureau. Amazon still has not aplogize for the amount of work it took me to get this product.

I struggled with this book from the very first pages because of the horrible mis-handling of Southern African-American vernacular. My next struggle was with editorial lapses such as proper placement of cultural and historical references, but overall, I get the book and its intention to show the common humanity of the characters, but I felt offended by an author who didn’t or couldn’t create 3-dimensional characters as I understand them.

It surprised me that this book made it to the bestseller list. To me, it seemed weak in its character and story development. I think though that readers who rated this book highly are typically people looking to understand a culture or viewpoint with which they are unfamiliar and this book made that culture/viewpoint accessible even if it’s not a depiction that rings true to those of us who come out of the culture.

Further on the topic of vernacular, I found it noteworthy that only the Black characters in the book spoke in a vernacular even though various Southern dialects are well known and widely used in literature of and about the South. The way that language was used just made me cringe. ‘Law’, please save me from an author who seems to have stumbled upon two or three elements of speech and then repeated them ad naseaum.

I did not enjoy reading this book and I definitely did not feel that it was a fully dimensional charcterization of African American domestic workers but I appreciate that it creates the opportunity for dialogue.
