The book I ordered was sent so quickly I couldn’t believe It got here so fast. Thanks for the excellent service and quality of merchandise.

The Artemis Fowl series is one of my favorites. It’s written in a way children and adults can enjoy, with creative plot twists and interesting, amusing characters. The book has plenty of humorous bits along with tense moments that will have you neglecting anything else so you can finish reading.

For the money this thing costs, you can’t go wrong. It has some really powerful suction, and the brush motor hasn’t yet fried itself after 2 years of use (even though I’ve accidentally wound up some string, cords, etc, in it a couple times). I can’t say as much for many other vacuums I’ve owned.

In a somewhat unrelated matter, isn’t “vacuum” a strange word? I can never spell it properly on the first try. Two Us in a row; weird.
JAIL BAIT on Long

I bought this bike for my 4 year old daughter. She loves the bike. It was easy to assemble. It took about 15 minutes. The bike has both a hand brake on the handle bars and a pedal brake, however, my daughter’s can’t reach the hand brake. Since it can’t be adjusted, she can only use the pedal brake. Overall, the bikes seems to be of good quality and I am happy with my purchase.

The bike arrived in a box that was really beat up. The box was partially ripped in some spots and on one side a portion of the bike was sticking through the box. Once I took the bike out and started to assemble it I realized that the bike was damaged. One of the lug nuts that held the front wheel in place was partially crushed. Obviously, this bike fell from a height onto concrete or something very heavy fell on it to do that kind of damage. I sent the bike back and then had to wait 3 weeks for a replacement. The replacement came and the box was not in much better shape. I examined the new bike closely and found no real damage, but there were some scratches in the paint, most visibly on the handlebars. So, bike was also handled improperly in the shipping and handling process. I decided to keep the bike in spite of the scratches because I had wasted enough time getting to this point and hadn’t found a nice bike at a local retailer for the same price.

I have had nothing but good experiences dealing with Amazon over the years. Customer service was helpful and responsive in this case. However, after reading some of the other reviews, I saw that many other people have had problems with the packaging and shipping of this bike. I would recommend the bike, but beware of the shipping and condition of the bike when you get it. Be prepared to send it back for another one becasue there is a good chance it will arrive damaged.

Best Buy sells their HDMI cables for $57.00 a piece. I got TWO cables for only $6.00 from Amazon. You do the math!
The cables are constructed very well and they work great! Only uneducated buyers would pay outrageous prices for an HDMI cable when they all do the exact same thing. I did my research and saved a ton of money!

This is a great product. Stays right where you put it and doesn’t move. Allows you to rotate it to your desired angle. Can be moved from car to car. Love it….

The Hoover F5914-900 did a wonderful job cleaning my cream-colored carpet. I usually use a professional service, but decided that this could save me some money, so I tried it. It cleaned up pet stains and everything else!

I had a hard time putting this book down, not because it was action packed or particularly fast paced, but because the development, sincerity and engaging voice of the main character at both stages of his life was refreshingly flawless. The voice remains true and believable throughout the entire narrative and is well developed giving me a clear picture of who Jacob Jankowski is and why I should care. Because this is achieved, I am fully invested in his world and experiences. Like wise, the supporting characters are dynamic and interesting, but even given their deformities, whether physical or psychologically, they never over shadow the main character.

The book provokes thoughts on treatment and intelligence of animals, economy, marriage, class, race, healthcare, friendship and family. As well as, it forces us to take a hard look at how our culture deals with the elderly.

“Sometimes the monotony of bingo and sing-alongs and ancient dusty people parked in the hallway in wheelchairs makes me long for death. Particularly when I remember that I’m one of the ancient dusty people, filed away like some worthless tchotchke.”

If I had to give a ‘con’ to the book, it would be toward the ending when the author simplifies Jacob’s journey with a ‘run away with the circus’ solution. However, this does not disappoint and in a way is the logical path and most appropriate ending given the character’s circumstances and alternative. It is the happiest it can get.

This product is SPECTACULAR. De-FUR-minate your dog while amazing friends and family!

We have a rescued German Shepard mix. We’re not sure what he’s mixed with but whatever breed it is, our dog is much less shaggy than the typical German Shepard. Nevertheless, we still have a fine layer of hair over every surface in our house. We’ve spent quite a bit of money purchasing products to deal with all the fur (e.g. special dog hair vacuums to suck off the fur off the floor, the couches, the stairs, and yes, even the ceiling. How fur got up there, I have no idea.)

The FURminator cuts the problem at the SOURCE and it deals with the problem like gangbusters! I kid you not, the first time I used this tool, our dog’s fur came off fast, furious and in copious amounts. And the kicker is, our dog didn’t mind at all. He hates other brushes, but for some reason, he doesn’t mind this brush at all.

I am truly happy with this tool and would have paid twice as much for it. Our house still has fur (what did you think that all the fur would magically disappear?) but our house has considerably less fur.
