Grim, detailed outlook on the American poor
Absolute kudos to Matthew Desmond for his detailed look into the heart of America's troubled capitalist system. His research and first-hand accounts of people living in poverty in Milwaukee is desperate, heartbreaking and dire, at the same time he offers an alternative to attempt to remedy an age old discriminatory system.

Eight individuals and families in this book represent an ongoing endemic situation that has perpetuated over the last century. Desmond explains circumstances that many i.e. institutions are familiar with but choose to not deal with. Definitely deserved of the Pulitzer Prize.

Join Jack, May, and Phillip as they journey through this alternative take on fairy tales. All the characters you know are here, and help or keep our trio from completing their quest to save their kingdom from an evil plot.

All three books in the series are in this set, and they are all compelling reads. You'll want to read them all back to back. There's action, great characters, plot twists, and sarcasm. You can't go wrong.

Comic fantasy that reminded me slightly of the great Terry Pratchett (writen in that vein), but not quite as good as his.

Set in an alternative medieval period, in the reign of Uther Pendragon (who is one of the characters in the book): in this case, Uther (and not Arthur) is the 'Once and Future King'. Unfortunately, the book also states that the author is working on a sequel: if he did, I never saw any sign of it in any of the bookshops, with the ending of this book leaving plenty (too much?) open to be included in that sequel.

Superb sound quality, easy connectivity, stylish design, quality materials and packaging (0 more)
Excellent Low Price Alternative
Tuinyo Over Ear Stereo Wireless Headset is a fantastic equivalent to some more expensive branded headphones. These are bluetooth and have a 35h playtime with deep bass. Quality materials and stylish design add to the superior sound quality. Connectivity is simple and seamless with no problems on either my Lenovo Laptop or my Sony Xperia XA2 smartphone. The price is amazing considering the quality of the item. A must have if you want style, good sound and quality without the high end prices. A+++++
