Wow. I hope that’s not all I can say about this book, but that’s where I’ll start. Wow.

Every time I hesitate to think I’ll find a book that is captivating, entertaining, and that will keep my interest and keep me thinking about its characters long after the book is over, I somehow seem to find myself happily surprised. Water for Elephants was one of those books. It was really that good.

I heard good things about it, always saw it on the shelves at bookstores, but it wasn’t until recently that I decided to give it a chance. Why? A book about a circus in the depression/prohibition era is probably as far away from my “normal” reading zone as I can get. But I’m telling you – it doesn’t matter! Not one bit.

Entertaining and engrossing from the very first chapter, I was taken away on this journey with the characters. Nothing short of fascinating, in ways I wouldn’t have thought possible. Part love story, part coming of age, this is at its roots, a story about life and the unexpected paths it may take. I really came to love the character of Jacob, and sympathize with his situation and his love for animals. It’s been over a week since I’ve finished the novel, and I still think about the characters every day. I really got caught up in their world which is something, I must say, is sometimes way too rare in the books I read. Many are good stories, but with Water for Elephants, I really felt like I was traveling along with them in their adventures. A pleasant surprise.

Overall, I have already recommended to more than a few friends, and would encouragingly recommend it here. It may just be one of those precious few books that when you finish it, you stop and, at a loss for words, say – wow.

After many years putting it off, I finally got a touch for myself. Like everything in life, you can only decide whether it is good or bad according to your necessities. If you are after a stylish, great sounding and a great value for money digital music player, then look no further. This little beauty will keep you coming back for more for a long time. The apps available are plentiful for any possible need you might have, and a lot of them free to boot. The way you interact with it is truly the most intuitive way to access your data, at least with the current technological standards we have.

Now for the bad: The touch screen is a battery sucker, so if you have the weekend free and want to do some serious gaming or other screen intensive activity, then you should stay around some energy source. If only listening to music, you should be OK. My other main gripe with it is the way Apple locks down access to your own data within its ecosystem, that means you are not allowed to freely access your music, pics and other files outside the windows/apple environment (I’m mostly a Linux user) and the itunes software is essential for any basic operation. Another huge disappointment is not being able to delete files using only the player itself: you must connect it to your pc in order to do such a simple task. Also your library of songs should be in either mp3 or apple’s format, as the touch is unable to play ogg, which was my format of choice.

So the bottom line is this: if you are not a power user or don’t mind being restricted to what apple offers you, then you will love this product. If you want a player with a wider selection of what formats you can play, or a simple mtp/drag and drop kind of player, then you’d be advised to look further.

Ordered the cables (2) when I bought an HD-LCD SONY 46 inch TV and blu-ray DVD. Fantastic picture! Cheap HDMI is the way to go.

The product was exactly as advertised – much more reasonable than retail stores. The delivery was prompt and efficient. Good job.
