This is a brilliant book – one that every Excel user needs on their desk. You will refer to it again and again – whether you are a beginner or an advanced user needing to brush up on something. I was certainly not disappointed and can recommend it to all Excel Users.

I really enjoyed the books and wanted to purchase them for my kindle. It says I can’t get them in the United States and was wondering why that is so. That is disappointing.

I have been a huge supporter if Kindle since I got my K1. But since I “upgraded” to K2 I have had nothing but problems. Cracking of the case – now no whispernet. When I followed onscreen instructions and restarted the K2 I succeeded only in LOSING ALL MY ARCHIVED ITEMS. Progress. I don’t think so. iPad I await you.

This is gritty and true to life Southern Literature at its’ best! The charactizations are vivid and I look forward to this author’s next book. I am not from the South, but lived there long enough to recognize the depth of truth and tragedy in this wonderful novel.

Tobias Jones circles toward the center of subjects that are not entirely polite to even bring up: cultural differences between Catholics and Protestants, the distinctions between Northern and Southern Europeans, and very specifically between the English and the Italians. The topics would be difficult ones for any writer to approach seriously because they are so riddled with stereotypes, prejudice and folklore. I thought Tobias Jones made very good job of it. He writes beautifully – you can tell immediately, in the first few lines of the book, that he is an exceptionally gifted writer and observer.
He starts with the useful and understandable idea that Italy is a visual culture, and that England is a verbal culture. Italy is beautiful, the Italians are beautiful, the art is breathtakingly beautiful, etc. England is not so beautiful. The light is bad. The art is not that great. The English culture is Verbal rather than visual.
The English read a lot. Italians do not read very much. Statistics are presented to support this assertion. Italy is a picture culture and quite susceptible (therefore) to television.
This is politically significant because Berlusconi is a television magnate – he owns or controls almost every TV channel. (Imagine Fox News on every channel in the US. And imagine Rupert Murdoch as President.)
The visual/verbal distinction seems to be a core idea of the book. It turns out to be a Catholic/Protestant divide; At one time, both England and Italy were more like modern Italy — visual, artistic and deeply Catholic. Then came Henry XVIII, and the Anglican Church. The reformation was a verbal revolution against a religion based on striking imagery, and the revolution was made to work by massively printing and spreading the Word, i.e., the King James Bible. And insisting that the power of the Word was accessible to readers.
The difference between Italy and Britain is to be understood (in this book anyway) as the difference betwe

I read this, as well as all the other Twlight books, before I allowed my tween daughter to join Bella on her journey. Although it was tediously slow and poorly written, I did find the story held my attention most of the time. I found large sections of the book to be repeditive. Perhaps Mrs. Meyer worried, unnecessarily, that the average young adult reader would need constant plot reminders.
This was a quick read that I will remember for quite some time. Oh, and…I did let my daughter read it, and she LOVED it!

I’ve just read the first one and am off to devour the second. Despite the fact that he’s 12, Artemis Fowl is funny, smart, and encompasses all the human failings an adult story should. I especially enjoyed Butler, with his obsessive need to protect his charge and his wickedly effective and funny ways of doing it. Juliet, his sister, annoyed me but added to the overall effect of the Fowl household.
Holly Short, the fairy LEP officer kidnapped by Artemis, was far from the all-knowing fairy folk we’re used to, and in fact this story makes consistent fun of many of the old tales. Makes fun of and expands on their stories, actually, producing a new world to enjoy.
The supporting cast is generally well-rounded, if a bit stereotyped and I hope Mr. Colfer will expand on each of them. All in all, very enjoyable and I look forward to the rest of the series.
