Have used this for almost 9 months. Easy to use, very portable. Works well in almost any vehicle. Stays in place in most vehicles. Only problem was using it in an older car with a very steep dashboard. Hold GPS unit in place and can be moved from one vehicle to another or easy removed and put in glove compartment or hidden on floor unlike suction cups that leave a ring in the windshield even when removed letting potential thieves know you have a GPS.

what can you say about a book that delivers time after time. i get something very different from it now than when i was sixteen. it still matters, for a new set of reasons, and that’s what makes it great.

I just finished this book and I absolutely loved it…In fact, I enjoyed it so much, I’m having a difficult time understand why some readers didn’t like it at all (Well, to each his/her own….) I was completely drawn to every character and was impressed with Stockett’s writing style and voice. It takes a lot for a book to impress me, and Stockett sure did. I’m excited for the film version to come out. Thank you, Kathryn, for writing such a wonderful novel that kept my attention the whole way through! Please keep writing and following your dreams the way Skeeter did and congrats on creating a book of literary excellence for your debut novel! You have a big fan in NYC!

The friction mount is a little large, but the stability can’t be beat. It easily fits on the dash of all three of our vehicles. But more importantly to us, it’s so easy to remove. No one needs to know we have a GPS. We never liked the window mount…it always left that tell-tale circle that lets anyone who is interested see that you had “something” mounted there.

This supposed classic was a boy ranting at the world over a few days span. It was nothing more than a teenage boy talking crap to everyone and saying he didn’t care about anything that happened to him. A lot of GD’s and Christsakes. It was the worst 5 or 6 hours I ever spent. I won’t be reading anything that may be published after he died, not based on this book.

This review is particularly of Nathaniel Parker’s narration, and not so much of the Artemis Fowl book itself, as there are already so many reviews on that.
If you want an auditory treat, get this audiobook – Nat Parker is a genius when it comes to bringing these characters to life. He does wonderful accents – there are multiple Irish accents for Artemis, Butler, Juliet and Angeline, but many others for the fairy people which are just amazing. In addition, his own, natural speaking /reading voice is so smooth , resonant and perfectly paced that is is a treat in itself. Unlike other audiobooks which I have listened to, you can’t hear him breathing – with some readers you hear every big breath they take and it gets irritating. He reads it perfectly and the great fun is in the rapid dialogue exchanges where he must manage different voices with different accents as well as the narrator’s voice.
The story itself, well, there are some boring and technical parts which I tried to read, and Artemis’s character is not terribly likeable, but the way Parker voices him makes you feel some affection for the character.
If you like the books, this is a worthwhile addition because of the way the characters are brought to life – and if you didn’t like the books, it’s a great listen just for Parker’s enormous vocal talent.

Read by my book club, this book stimulated dicussions of issues we lived with in the 60,s and 70,s The subject of the novel is still timely and expands beyond the black/white theme. The characters are engaging and endearing. I was cheering for the heroine and able to identify with her quest.

The Help is a novel set in the Jackson, Mississippi in the early 60’s and told from the viewpoint of three women. The first is Eugenia “Skeeter” Phelan, a young white woman, a recent graduate of Ole Miss and daughter of a wealthy cotton farmer. To her mother’s chagrin, she is different from her friends. She is sensitive and curious, and wants to be a writer. Her friends meanwhile, though just out of college, have already settled down with husbands and started having children. And they have also hired their first black maids.
It is through one of these maids, Aibileen, that Skeeter gets the idea to write a book telling the stories of black help in Jackson. Aibilene is the second POV character, and she acts as a conduit between Skeeter and the maids who will eventually contribute to the book. She is older than most of the maids, so serves as something of a leader for them. She has much wisdom from her years of service and even finds a sense of peace in her job through the raising of the white children she cares for. She takes pride in this job, and tries with all her might, though usually futilely, to prevent them from being influenced by the bigotry everywhere around them.
The third POV character is another maid, Minny, who is set up as a contrast to the mature and even-keeled Aibileen. Minny is rebellious and has an unstoppable mouth. She has often been in trouble with her employers, and a cruel practical joke on one of the characters serves as a sort of resolution to Minny’s conflict with her and as a solution to the problem of secrecy that dogs the writing of the book.
Stockett does a great job portraying Mississippi in the sixties, with nice humorous touches, such as the rusty old pick-up that Skeeter drives around in. She peppers real events and cultural references to keep us firmly tied to the time and to help build the racial tension. Further tension comes from a number of different relationships: Skeeter against her friends, who become incre
