Dang you, Craig Johnson!  Youre killing my productivity!

Death Without Company picks right up where The Cold Dish leaves you wanting more.  If you liked Johnsons debut Longmire novel, youll really like his second installment, too.  Johnsons style and characters just pull you right in to Walt Longmires world in Absaroka County.  If you're not careful, you might learn a thing or two along the way, as well.  I enjoy Johnsons willingness to cut loose literarily with his writing, and his cerebral style.  My only issue with Johnsons work is that its keeping me from a growing list of things I should be doing around the house.

This book is such garbage.  Being slightly OCD, I have a strong need to finish what I start.  However, last night I uttered my last, "oh my god, are you kidding me!" in disgust.
I resent that I wasted my time and money on this book. ugh.

this product has been nothing but trouble since I downloaded it a few days ago.  It is a new design and in my opinion, after working 40+ years in designing computer systems, one of the worst ones I have seen!  In the first few executions, the program had to download new or updated modules(CAN'T DO THESE FIXES AT ONE TIME)!  Now, when I started to do additional work on my taxes this evening my complete system appears to be being influenced by something(key stroke - wait, wait, wait - depress mouse, forget it waited a minute until arrow cleared. .  I removed program and system seems do be running fine.  Will attempt to download new download.

Absolutely awful software.  After upgrading to this version from 14.0 the office I work for and do technical support for has been having all kinds of issues, mostly due to the Database Server Manager.  Without warning it starts consuming all available RAM and grinds the server to a standstill which renders the entire office useless.  This is just the cherry on top of the cake with the issues that Quickbooks has always had (especially when trying to run in a multi-user environment.. talk about aggravating!).

So maybe it's not a big deal and their technical support can help, right?  Not a chance.  Nobody has been able to figure this issue out and when I tell them how big our file is (approx 4 gb) that is met with "oh my that is much too big".  Intuit was really quick to sell us this software and assured us that it could suit our needs just fine but now that we've spent THOUSANDS on their Enterprise licenses and support packages they basically do a 180 on what they originally tried to sell us.

Stay away at all costs

Years ago, I was a huge fan of the author's "Bob Lee Swagger" series of books.  I can remember my father-in-law and I devouring them, and having spirited discussions about them.  Then, along about the time Hunter began the "Earl Swagger" series, the author's plot lines devolved, and his verbiage became unbearable.  So many obscure descriptions and dialogue that, rather than adding to the story, instead overwhelmed them.  So I took a break from the author.
Enter his latest novel, "G-Man".  I wanted to like it. I really tried. I made it halfway through the book, before becoming so exasperated that I had to quit. It had the thinnest of plot, based around crazy, imaginary encounters of an entire whos-who of 1930's era gangsters, and the shoehorning in of the main character. And, where I thought Hunter had gone overboard in his verbiage in the past, he takes it to an entirely different level here. So much unnecessary language! What possible reason is there to spend a page detailing a minor character's choice of soft drinks?  Or the color of a woman's dress?  It just went on and on.  At the end, I thought that perhaps it was just me, that my tastes had changed.  So I read a bit to my wife. She looked at me like I was insane. "Why would you and my father read such drivel?" she asked.  "It sounds like someone trying to pad a school paper with words to meet the teacher's minimum standard".
At that point, I had to realize.  Hunter has jumped the shark.  He has taken a wonderful character in Bob Lee Swagger, and ruined it.  That's it for me.  No more Stephen Hunter!

I bought this through my local campus bookstore, since surprisingly it was a small amount cheaper than amazon.
But let me tell you this the interface that cengage provides is AWFUL! Seriously there are numerous hotkeys and optimized methods for doing things in office, and the developer of this flash based office training doesn't like any of it. Did you just double click on a picture you were trying to insert from a file? HAHA nope you did it wrong, click once on the file then click open. This is good for those who have LITERALLY NO EXPERIENCE WITH COMPUTERS!
The biggest thing for me though, since it is a flash based system no matter how you resize the window it doesn't actually resize the flash program inside, it stays in 720p resolution, meaning if you have a 1080p monitor have fun squinting trying to read the font. If you have any knowledge outside of the bare minimum, by the end of this course you will be filled with nothing but hatred towards the people who gave the flash based portions of this product a green light.

If this would have been the first book in the series written I would not have bothered to pick up another by this author.  I had to go back and read my reviews on the previous books to remind myself that I did enjoy them, since I cannot fathom why at this point.

I fervently hope that someone will tell Johnson to please remove the character of Kelly from such a dominant figure in the story.  Is this Kelly's story or Evanor's?  I have to ask because I believe she had more pages dedicated to her overbearing, annoying ways than he did with his voice problem and romance.  First off--what happened to her being Queen only during weekends and holidays?  She now orders everyone around like they were no better than lapdogs.  I hate the whole "we can't pick a deity because in my world we don't."  Hellooooo!  You are no longer in your world.  Your world tried to burn you alive in bed!

The absolute worst part of the book was the cell phone debacle.  Why?  What was the point to dedicate 1/3 of a book on the function, purpose, and parallels of a cell phone to magic.  Then another portion of the book to creating like equipment on the island.  How did the cell phone contribute to the storyline?  I'll tell you how, it didn't.  Therefore, that entire chapter that went over in painstaking detail how to use a cell phone was a waste.  Yes, somewhere out there a tree died for the use of the copied paper that created the chapter...and I mourn it's senseless death.

*Sigh*  Despite my raving disappointment I did buy both The Song and The Cat at the same time.  Therefore, chances are I'll read the next book.  I soooo hope Kelly plays a very...very small part in it and that Johnson gets back on track with a plausible and more action packed plot.  This book, in my opinion could be skipped.  Suffice it to say, Evanor and Mariel hooked up with no problems at all and Kelly formally declared the island independent.  Yep, that is the WHOLE story summed up in one sentence.  Imagine all those dead trees! HA!

Horrible, horrible. With the latest upgrade for Mac OS you took a mediocre piece of software, which was clunky but at least usable, and made it almost impossible to use. First, you upgraded the app on my machine without my permission - the icon just changed overnight and the program no longer functioned. Second, I had to delete all the related library files before installing in order to get it to work. Third, you made uploading to my cloud library much, much more difficult. Before to upload to my Cloud library, I clicked the upload button, went to a screen where I could select files & could monitor progress. With this version, all of that is gone   I have to decrease the size of the window so I can see the Finder & drag a folder to a tiny location on the app. I can't monitor progress and right now everything locked up. That's all I need the app to do  please, please fix it. And you expect me to pay 7.95 a month for a streaming service! With my experience of this "upgrade", I cannot imagine that the streaming service would be competitive with the clean, functional interface of Spotify!!!

The book was good, but after reading 337 pages IT WAS ANOTHER CLIFFHANGER!  I am SO sick of this.  Since I liked the author's writing style, I would have gladly bought the rest in the series if they had been stand-alone books.  But, this new way of authors blackmailing readers just makes me angry.  I have now added this author's name to my 'never buy again list.'

Wow. You can tell by Ms. Harris's writing that she's tired of the Stackhouse series and its like she's simply writing this because she already said there would be two more books.
The usual humor was gone. It was filler content. It's as if she didn't even try to write a good book.
Sooooo obvious she's tearing apart Sookie and Eric. Im angry. If she decided to not have them end up together, you'd think Eric could have more sweetness and some strength. He's a wimp in this book. Eric is a fan favorite. Why make him out to be such a major disappointment? I swear Sookie cant catch a break. No. She shouldnt be with Sam, but that's whats gonna bloody happen.
Hate, hate it that there was no attempt to hide the fact Ms. Harris was weary of writing these last two installments. I could SEE her just about yawning all the way through this. A very short book as well. Can be read in one evening. Not worth the money I paid for a new release. I don't even care about the 13th and last book.
Big whoop. Stopped caring. Ms. Harris took our Eric and made him unlikeable. Completely awful.
Blech...
Oh...
BIG MISTAKE for Ms. Harris to blend True Blood facts in her writing of these books since the HBO show started.  Ms. Harris mentions in the book that the song "Bad Things" is currently playing.  Uh, we all know that's the theme song to the TV series, but the shows writers are supposed to write their scripts based on your books.  Not the other way around.  Bad idea to mention things from the show in the new books. I kept rollin' my eyes.

By far THE worst Harlan Coben novel I have read; and I have read ALL of his books!  Harlan is getting lazy in his writing and this novel proves it.  Harlan has lost his forte; his heart-pounding, non-stop, action-packed story lines that were synonymous with his Myron Bolitar series.  I feel asleep at chapter 8, and never picked up the book again.  The story line was too predictable.  Boring!  If I read anymore, I'd be in a coma!

Easily the most aggravating computer related item I've ever purchased...including Windows 8!
I'm on my way out the door for family vacation, but am so sick of this printer I am compelled to write my first product review ever.

A monkey with ADHD and a traumatic brain injury could have designed a better printer.

This printer is NEVER ready to print.  There is ALWAYS a hoop to jump through.

I need to print driving directions.  One simple page. I made the mistake of installing a new color cartridge. (how quickly this printer runs through ink is for another review)  Now, I have to print an alignment page.  Then I have to scan the alignment page.
And it NEVER recognizes the scanned alignment page.  To add insult to injury, there is no escape.  No way to opt out of this alignment nightmare.
No way to say "Screw it, I'll skip the alignment steps and just accept what the printer Gods give me."

So, I've spent 20 minutes printing and scanning an alignment page I don't need and still haven't been able to print the map and directions that I do need.

I'd go lower than one star if I could.  HP can do better.

I hate you! WHY would you write a book like 11/22/63, when you KNEW, that your Constant Readers will have a hard time finding ANYTHING that can match it for a loooong time? Was that your agenda? Writing a book, that people will talk about, and long to come back to, for ages? You made me laugh out loud twice, made me cry (in public!!) thrice; you had me turning pages on the edge of my seat and being downright frustrated for 800+ pages. You wanted to destroy readers' experiences and expectations for the next stack of books they're going to read? If so, you succeeded. I loved the book and thus I hate you.
Sincerely.

I am ticked off by this pain in my rumpus program that's supposed to make things more seamless! Please don't make me endure one more call to India! The support guys are hopelessly polite, but my problems are NOT resolved! All the prompts that my trial norton was going to expire sold me on paying for this version, but it's robbed my husband of his user profile and completed wiped out his emails and stored files; it's corrupted my Outlook as well numerous times, and I have had this already reinstalled by the Norton support tech himself taking over my computer. There is NO EXCUSE and these bugs should be worked out. Ironic is that HP made this their preferred security software and it's making computing hell for me.

Dud!

My favorite author has run out of steam! His co-author does not, repete, does not have the Paterson style.  After sampling this "tandemly"-wriiten book, it becomes obvious that this is a time-waster.  Even the editing is bad.  I didn't feel guilty about not finishing it.  It's headed for the community library's monthly book sale--fifty cent table.
