I’d been thinking about purchasing a Garmin for months for my Triathlon training. I’d spent ages considering the pro’s and con’s of all of the different versions – 405, 405CX, 310XT – but just made a ’snap’ decision one day that at this price I’d go for the 305.

And I’m really glad that I did. It does everything I need and didn’t cost the earth. The HRM signal reception is rock solid and the GPS acquires the signal pretty quickly when it has a decent view of the sky. I don’t really need to swim in it or wear it as a day-to-day watch, so didn’t need to pay the extra for the 310 or 405.

Only minor negative is the maps in the Garmin Training centre software – it only show major roads. It would have been better to integrate it into something like Google Maps to get a better map view, but the export to Google Earth makes up for this.

I remember back a few years ago when I wouldn’t be caught dead reading a book (sure I read Harry Potter, but that’s pretty much obligatory now in days). Artemis Fowl changed that.

Main Character: Meet young master Artemis Fowl Jr.,son of criminal mastermind Artemis Fowl I and heir to the Fowl fortune. Oh, and I did I mention he’s also a twelve year old genius?

Plot: Just from reading the sypnosis you know that this book is bound to be interesting, and while it may seem a bit confusing and hard to pull of, trust me when I say that the author knows what he’s doing.
Young Artemis’s father has gone missing after an accident involving the Russin Mafiya. He’s been missing for about two years now and has even been declared dead. But Artemis still hasn’t lost hope, and won’t stop at anything to rescue him. But just how does he expect to gain enough money to search for his father and restore the family fortune? Simple. Kidnapping a fairy. That’s right, and after getting his hands on the Book of the People (a.k.a the fairies’ bible), Artemis learns of the famous fairy ransom gold. He uses this and some other knowledge provided by the book to kidnap none other than Captain Holly Short (our other main character). Why Captain? Well it just so happens that Short is member and first female recon officer of the LEP, the Lower Elements Police (try to imagine the CIA about a hundred years from now. Yeah, it’s that advanced). Obviously they’re not to happy about this, and will do all it takes to get one of their best officers back. It’s super high-tech LEP vs. famous prodigy Artemis Fowl, who will win? Read and find out.

This book is simply spectacular and incredibly well written. The colorful characters, funny dialogue (except for some minor toilet jokes, but again very few and not that gross), and amazingly well written plot make Artemis Fowl a first class young adult fiction that can even pass as a decent adult thriller. Great action, fast read, and no nec

I’m sure I’ll be duplicating some of the reviews, but I had to add my love of these books. I, like so many, thought these were books for teenagers and ignored the series completely for the longest time. My friend said she started to read them and encouraged me to try the first one just to see. We both have kids in elementary school so we aren’t the “target audience”, although I truly believe these books aren’t YA. (Stephenie even said herself that the first one was never written that way, it is just the genre they got put into.)

So, I began reading, and began falling in love with this story. There are a few words that get repeated too often and there are even typos here and there, but it didn’t matter. You get to step into another world and learn all about these wonderful characters with Stephenie’s fantastic descriptions. And you literally feel the passion going on between them!

I’ve seen the first movie, but will not see any more. There is just no comparison since there is soooo much more in the books. I have read all four books (and the Midnight Sun draft online) and would say Twilight is my favorite of the published ones in this series. But I love each one since it continues the story. It will be hard to find something better, but I hope to find other books as good.

This is truly one of the best book I’ve read in a long time. Growing in the north, I had no idea what life was like in the south. Sure I’d heard of the civil rights movement but it wasn’t something we northerners, particularly the Northwest where I’m from, had never really understood. Kathryn Stockett’s debut novel gives us a glimpse into the lives of both the black maids and the white women they worked for in a way leaves judgment up the reader. It was amazing to me that the white women were afraid that the black women who raised their babies and cooked for them, were carrying some sort of special germs, and therefore should have not be allowed to use the same bathrooms. Held hostage by the unspoken rules they’d grown up with, both the black and the whites of this story fear breaking out and doing things differently.
I was spellbound by the story, by the new world I was allowed to enter and the characters who I learned to care deeply for. This is a book that someone recommended to me and I’m so glad they did. Now I’m going to do the same for all my friends. Bravo Kathryn! If this is your debut novel, I wish you a long and fruitful writing career, and I’m going to buy every one of your books.

I purchased a Wii console from Amazon after searching. So many places were out of them and I put it on my Wish List. I received a text the next week and quickly purchased it. It was delivered the very next day. I love my Wii. I’ve purchased the Wii Fit Plus and play on that almost every day. It’s loads of fun and I don’t feel like I’m working out. I’m glad I bought this for myself.
