I got this as a gift for my husband. The copy of the book was in good condition and I was very pleased that he read it right away.

I only bought this for MS Word 2007, which works worse than the MS Word 2000 I already have. MS Word 2007 messed up all tables I had put in 2000 documents; I could not copy playlists from iTunes into a document (very easy w. 2000); several of the commands had changed unnecesarily; etc. However, 2000 often give message “… has encountered a problem and must shut down …” This only happened in 2007 upon trying to copy the iTunes playlist.
My next computer is likely to be Mac & I intend to stear clear of MS products whenever possible.

In the beginning of Water For Elephants Jacob Jankowski tells us that he is 90 or 93 (who can really be certain anymore?) His body betrayed him years ago and Jacob now fears that his mind isn’t far behind. Shuffling along miserably behind his walker, he’s living out his final days in the nursing home and hating every minute of it. Just another invisible senior citizen who’s family and the world as a whole has forgotten about.
When the circus comes to town and sets up its Big Top tents across the street Jacob comes alive and through a series of flashbacks begins to tell us his life’s story. Taking us back to when he joined the Benzini Brothers Most Spectacular Show On Earth, a traveling circus he toured with during the great depression.
At the age of 23 Jacob had a predictable future set out ahead of him, one that certainly didn’t involve joining the circus. However with his parents untimely death and the bank foreclosing on his family home Jacob soon finds himself homeless, heartbroken and mentally quite unable to sit his final veterinary exams. When an exotic, animal filled train steams toward him Jacob doesn’t even think. Flinging himself aboard the boxcar and inadvertently changing his destiny forever.
I absolutely adored this book, alternately falling in love with both Jacob, the crotchety old man and Jacob, the young, moral and penniless circus veterinarian. Water For Elephants transported me to another time and quickly became one of those books I never wanted to end.
Author Sara Gruen has researched the depression era circus life down to the smallest of details and I feel that this captivating and vivid story will appeal to almost anyone.Filled with action, adventure and a sweet forbidden romance there is also a fascinating sideshow of secondary characters including a clever Polish Elephant, a grouchy little person as Jacob’s roommate and a cruel and schizophrenic animal trainer whose wife Jacob just happens to fall in love with. All of this has been w

With the making of a Film based on this book and all of the rave reviews about it, I guess I had high expectations. Don’t get me wrong, I found most of it entertaining, but I think the story lacked in its development, and I never figured out why religion was ever even brought up among the characters in the earlier part of the book, when it apparently had nothing to do with the plot. The ending was also a bit of a let-down because it was just too “happily ever after” for me.
The funny thing is that I’m not a big fan of Circuses in general, but surprisingly, I found the source material to be rather fascinating, So, if anything, this book will propel me to look into more historical reading material on Circuses from the 19th century to the turn of the 20th Century.

I was drawn in by all of the fantastic reviews and I admit I didn’t dig a little deeper. I’m warning anyone African-American that this book is painful to read and it has triggers aplenty. Stockett’s use of lines like “Black as
I know it’s about context and it was part of the time but we all seem to forget that it was not that long ago. It also wasn’t exclusive to the South. My Grandmother was one of four maids that worked for the Pew family in Pa well into the 80s. That was no picnic. All good intentions aside, those words are still fresh and generations will still have scars hundred years from now. The pain is that deep.
The language she uses is upsetting and I almost stopped reading it offended me so badly. However, some stubborn part of me has to see things through because I was afraid that maybe I was wrong about the book. Turns out I wasn’t.
I gave this book three stars because the story was so touching, despite these major shortcomings. I was personally invested in the characters, even Hilly, who was so wrapped up in her own power and troubles she needed to control the world around her. Skeeter was sort of a sore spot for me. The way she kept coming to halfway conclusions about what was happening around her, but dropping the line of thought before it made her too uncomfortable. From her mother to Ablieen and Minny, she knew it was wrong but wouldn’t let herself feel it, which was disappointing.
In the end I had many different feelings while reading this book. I wonder at these women, the black community the way it was, so united and helpful to each other. The way it is so different now, everyone thinking of themselves. How more and more allies are standing up to those who still think that peop

Artemis Fowl is a 12 year old criminal mastermind from Ireland. He believes he has discovered the underground of world of fairies.
In Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, Atermis. with his trust strongarm and bodyguard Butler, comes across a sprite posing as a healer and acquires from her the fairy holy book written in Gnomish.
Meanwhile the pretty and tough elf policegirl Captain Holly Short, of LEPrecon is pursuing a deadly troll who has escaped aboveground, and is kidnapped by Artemis to ransom her for copious amounts of fairy gold,. Holly is put under the care of Butler’s sister, Juliet, a blond 16 year old bodyguard in training.
Artemis has taken on LEPrecon and has not reckoned with LEPrecon Commander Juius Root who will stop at nothing to rescue Captain Short. LEPrecon is aided by centaur Foaly. A lot of exciting and fast paced action sometimes too much of it to allow for much character or scene development.
A great deal of wit and humour which is possibly the main attraction of the books.
Technology fans will love the high tech elf equipment.
Plenty of weird and wonderful characters- my favourite being the mesmerizing Captain Holly Short.
Not quite a modern classic but it is loved by teen and pre-teen audiences internationally.
