You know the basics:
sounds great
looks nice
made by a control freak company
This review will deal with the 3rd.
The Ipod Touch is a great piece of hardware. Itunes is a terrible piece of bloatware and you’re forced to load it onto your computer if you want to use the Ipod. The Ipod won’t even turn on if you don’t have Itunes which also requires Quicktime, Bonjour, and at least 2 more software packages. Songbird is a far better music management package.
Want to use the famous apps? You’ll need an Apple account and you’ll have to go through.
5 stars as a portable music player, 1 star that it’s a Trojan horse designed to fill your computer with tons of crapware.
I’m keeping it but I’m buying an Android device next time.

This is truly a polarizing book. When you read it, you will either love it, or hate it. I have yet to meet anyone on middle grounds with it. A friend and I actually avoid talking about it because we disagree so much about it.
I enjoyed the book for the first chapter or so before repetition of the line “[x] depressed me” began to annoy me to no end. I simply could not like Holden, and this is not a book where you can dislike the main character but still enjoy the story.
Having read it for an assignment and then having to write an essay, I do appreciate the meaning behind the book. I appreciate and understand how we hate the characteristics in others that most reflect upon ourselves and how desperately one holds on to childhood. I simply could not enjoy the story as much as I liked the meaning behind it.
