"Coming Apart" offers a very effective analysis of the diverging economic prospects and social values of American society since 1963. I should say first off that many people seem biased against this book because of the controversy surrounding Murray's prior book, "The Bell Curve." Murray has taken great pains in this new book to avoid the issue of race, focusing specifically on white Americans. I could find nothing offensive or even politically incorrect regarding race in this book.

Really like this wallet case... have had very spotty luck with wallet cases on Amazon for my smartphones (ended up with CellTo for my S4 and S6, both of which had to be modified to function properly)... the quality of these wallet cases in the $5 - $15 range is extremely cynical, take-the-money-and-run sort of thinking (the only exception IME being the CellTo, which was a damned good case for $8, despite crappy and cheap magnetic clasps similar to what's on this Spigen Wallet S...

H&R Block's software is excellent for doing personal income taxes. However, the business software is only ok. Because of the very low price (for the combined software packages, it is a very good value - but you have to accept the occasional glitch in the business software).

I love the Virgil Flowers books. This one was so very good! Great story, a nice amount of humor, and very well written. Highly recommend!

The Purple mattress is a great value and is very comfortable. My previous mattress was a spring mattress and I was looking at buying one of the SleepNumber beds. Price was a big factor there. The Purple is the first foam type mattress I've had. It was easy to purchase, easy to unpack, and felt great the first night. It is very cool - that part is definitely as advertised. I would wake up on our old mattress with minor aches and pains everyday. Since I've been sleeping on the Purple, those are gone. I am definitely satisfied with this purchase!

Crock-Pot worked great for 37 days. Used approximately 1/2 dozen times. Will not turn on and is completely dead now. Amazon is outside return policy (30 days) and manufacturer warranty is also only for 30 days. Very regrettable purchase.

We absolutely hated what Microsoft did with office 2007. The learning curve was so high and even today... still hate it. Then Office 2010 came out and it was a step in the right direction but again, still hard to find things. Whomever their experts are that says that the RIBBONS are awesome... must have been power users and not the average person. Now we have Office 2013 and Office 365 which are basically the same thing, minor differences.
