And, yet again, I’m in the minority. This is one that is raved about, over and over. I tried to read it. I really did. I tried several times in fact. I didn’t care about the characters, I didn’t care about the story. I found myself annoyed and wishing it would simply be done. I finally skimmed it, hoping that I’d find something redeeming in the end, but I didn’t.

I can’t even pinpoint what it is that I didn’t like, and I hate that! It just wasn’t for me, and sometimes that happens. So many friends of mine, in the real world and online, loved it. And, I’ve learned that if several specific friends rave about certain books, I don’t usually like them. Some connect with a book, completely, and others don’t.

Delivery was fast and product is great for the price. Don’t see why others cost 3-4 times as much. Have one from an Name Brand mfg, and can not see the difference.

I recently ordered this scale to replace my 20 year old spring scale and am very disappointed with it’s accuracy. Although my bathroom is only 8 square feet, I get 3 different readings as I move the scale around to different places on the floor. The readings vary by about 5 lbs! I am hoping the lowest one is the most accurate, but I really don’t know.

Don’t judge this book by it’s title. The information given is not from The Bible but written to be “politically correct”.

So I haven’t read this book in about 10 years. I just randomly decided that I want to start reading again to help add some imagery and metaphors into my song writing – believe me, reading does this. So literally 5 minutes ago, I did a google search for this book, and the first thing that pops up is that JD Salinger died yesterday, the article was created at right about the same time I was thinking of getting this book again. Fate? I dunno???

I was skeptical. I have a sixty pound Golden Doodle with a heart murmur, so I don’t want to put her under anesthesia to get her teeth cleaned. Unfortunately, the result is that her breath smells like a sewer. I tried brushing her teeth manually which wasn’t easy and resulted in no real difference. I tried a few bone type chew products, but they still didn’t put a dent in her dog breath. I stumbled on these on Amazon and figured for only five bucks, why not give it a shot. At first, she hesitated and I didn’t think she was interested. When I handed it to her, she wouldn’t take it. Then I dropped it onto the floor and she approached again, gave it a sniff, picked it up and took it into the living room. There she proceeded to break it into small pieces and eat each piece, which was great because when I first saw the size of them – about as big as an efferedent tablet – I thought she would just swallow it whole. Now that she’s had a positive experience, she takes them from me right away and chews them into pieces before swallowing. They do a phenomenal job and absolutely eliminate the odor in her mouth. The first time I had to give her two to get the job done, but now it only takes one every night to keep her breath smelling fresh and clean. What a great product!

TheFURminator works great on our Siberian Husky. My wife wishes we had heard of it seven years ago when we rescued her. The service (delivery/condition/promptness) was great!

I loved this book. I loved the circus atmosphere and the story. It was exceptionally well-written, and I enjoyed every page.

We have a vet student joining a circus, with mistreated animals he’s frantically trying to save and protect. We have a lovable elephant. The narrator is an old man looking back, and he recounts his tale in the immediacy of present tense as he describes situations that happened decades earlier. Interesting, and very effective choice, to write in present tense throughout.

The ONLY thing that keeps me from giving the book five stars was the lack of character development for Marlena. Throughout the story I understood the protagonist loved her, but she seemed to be the woman tied to the railroad tracks throughout – Nell being constantly tormented by Snidely Whiplash – and I never really got a sense of her as a person. Maybe I missed it (not surprising – I read the book in daily spurts while I walked a treadmill), but I didn’t even know how old she was. I got a much clearer picture of minor characters, like Rosemary, Kinko and Camel, than I ever did of her.

I also never understood the whole “water for elephants” thing that the protagonist railed about in the beginning of the book. Perhaps it was something else I missed.

Nevertheless, I loved the book, I loved the ending, and I know I’ll go back to read it again.

I have had my Kindle for three weeks now. Firstly, I have to say that I am very pleased with its features and capabilities. I have been an Amazon customer for several years but in the past, I could only purchase books and CDs (DVDs) as I live in Australia. I was very excited when I discovered that Amazon ships Kindle to us in Australia too. Although I was in possession of another brand of ebook reader, I started reading about the Amazon Kindle. I have also read the comparisons with the Apple iPad. I decided that the two products have totally different applications based on my understanding. I have used my Kindle over the past three weeks on a regular basis. I have purchased several books and taken up magazine subscriptions too.

With regard to the Experimental features, I really believe that the text to speech capability is excellent and can have numerous useful applications. For instance, speed reading training is one of them. This feature can be used in conjunction with fast text scanning simultaneously. Hence, the need or any tendencies for sub-vocalization would be eliminated. The ability to speed up the speech also helps a great deal. This feature is one of the very strong specialties of Kindle. In Australia, we cannot access the Web via Kindle but, I quite like having an access to Wikipedia and occasionally, I look up items in my readings. I personally do not mind not having images in my Time Magazine as I am interested in the content.

One very minor issue is that my 5 way control button is not sitting squarely and has a little bit of slant. It is not affecting the device’s performance but I do notice it every time I use it.

In summary, I would recommend Kindle 2 as a very practical ebook reader.

It is easy to use; I like the way you can make the font bigger and that you can have the book read to you if you don’t feel like reading.
Just wish there were color pictures instead of the black and white but I realize that that would take up too much memory. But I really love it and chose it over the Nook because of the way it felt and looked.
