Your pen starts moving on its own and tells you it’s God and you believe it? Are you kidding me? Gullible much?

If there is a God, then this isn’t Him. If there is a Satan, then he’s definitely a ghost author here.

Even with an open mind, this book killed more brain cells than I could afford. God already wrote a love letter that explains His heart. It runs from Genesis to Revelation. Check it out some time.

I cannot believe anybody would take this book seriously. It is nothing but lies and misinformation. I hope nobody gives this book to a child or a young person searching for answers. Is the author trying to turn this nation against God? It appears so.

Zero stars.

The Wii was in perfect condition and I received it very quickly. I was looking in all the stores to find a Wii and after all that all i had to was spend 4min on Amazon.
4 Wheel Off Road

This is the best pedometer I have ever had and I’ve had a few. The beauty is that it doesn’t have to be placed exactly over your right hip. It works if I stuff it in my jeans pocket, clip it to my belt loop, even in my bathrobe pocket if it is before my shower. I am able to count every single step. It also keeps track of aerobic steps, calories, miles and automatically resets itself at midnight.
Road Test

Holden Caulfield has just been kicked out, yet again, of a preparatory school which his father, a hot-shot corporate lawyer, has selected for him. Holden is a pathological lawyer, he smokes like crazy, and he prefers the peak of his brand-new red hunting cap to be facing backward, not forward. Holden begins wandering around New York City, buying time before the date comes when his parents will be expecting him.

Such are the plot details, and the wonderful character painting, that this wonderful little novel unveils early in its course. The Catcher is a fast-paced and an easy read, two qualities which typically don’t go along with works of literature. Is the Catcher a work of literature? The answer is an unqualified yes. Salinger has accomplished an amazing feat by relaying his story through the first-person narrative of our protagonist, and the writing is complete with Holden’s idiosyncratic jargon and constant lacings of profanity. Yet what makes the writing so remarkable is that we know exactly what Holden is talking about it, even though his slang can be a little confusing at times.

Still, what makes this little gem a literary genius is not its exceptional writing, but its wide appealing cultural value. I think it would be immature and cliched to call this a “coming of age” book (even though it is one), or to talk about Holden’s prototypical “teenage angst”. In my opinion, this novel finds its far-reaching appeal because it speaks to the heart of us all. We all get discouraged (and even disgusted) by the faults that we see in society, and in human nature in general (for example, the “phoniness” which Holden sees as near ubiquitous). Nevertheless, all of us have to make decisions, just like Holden does, as to what direction we choose to walk in life.

A final note. I loved this book and found myself laughing out loud throughout many parts of the book. Nonetheless, I wouldn’t be surprised if this novel isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. I suspect that some readers will

Just what I needed. Folks, this bike does not promise the moon. It is a very inexpensive road bike. With that said, I am very pleased about purchasing it! I had an older bike and considered upgrading GMC Denali Road Bike but the cost was going to be prohibitive. Also my wife asked me to listen to reason and not blow $600 on a bike if I wasn’t going to be serious about it!

Well, I’m still not serious but let me tell you about the bike.

First, Amazon shipped it right on time (in fact a day early!). And the bike arrived in good shape, the box had some damage but nothing serious. I unpacked it and assembled it with no issue, but I have some experience with bikes. Just go slow with the directions close by and you’ll be fine. The only thing I really had to adjust was the front brake. Also look closely at the front tire sidewall and you’ll see that the tire is meant to turn a specific direction. I adjusted the seat/handelbar position and went for a spin. I made more adustments on the seat until I got it just right. The existing seat is ok, but I’ll probably upgrade before too long. Everythng works well and I do like the twist shifters even though I was unsure if I would really like them. I will have to make some derailleur adjustments for both the front and back derailleur. The shift position is close but not perfect, kinda what I expected.

If you want to save the hassle or don’t have the experience then a stop at your local bike shop for a tune up and that will fix you up.

I was worried about getting the right size, but the Medium is perfect for my chunky 6′0″ frame.

The Shimano components are fine and the brakes are adequate (second on my upgrade list after the seat). All in all a TREMENDOUS value for the money.

I have just made a dozen short runs (just a few miles each) and I’m really looking forward to more time on my new bike!

Updated 9/2007 – Still have the bike and now I’m really of the opinion that you need to get your local bike shop to tune it up for you. Spend 3 hours on it last week and it performed better than I did! Great bike for the entry rider and my friends with their very pricy bikes agree. Great value, but you need to have a real professional tune it up.
