" Hock] knows he is ensorcelled by exoticism, but he can't help himself. And, as things go from bad to worse and the pages start to turn faster, neither can we. A."--Entertainment Weekly When he was a young man, Ellis Hock spent four of the best years of his life with the Peace Corps in Malawi. So when his wife of forty-two years leaves him, he decides to return to the village where he was stationed in search of the happiness he'd been missing since he left. But what he finds is not what he expected. The school he built is a ruin, the church and clinic are gone, and poverty and apathy have set in among the people. They remember Ellis and welcome him with open arms. Soon, however, their overtures turn menacing; they demand money and refuse to let him leave the village. Is his new life an escape or a trap? "Theroux's bravely unsentimental novel about a region where he began his own grand career should become part of anybody's education in the continent."--Washington Post "The Lower River is riveting in its storytelling and provocative in its depiction of this African backwater, infusing both with undertones of slavery and cannibalism, savagery and disease."--New York Times Book ReviewBinding Type: Paperback

Great Screen
Size: 27
For the price, you can not beat the picture quality. It is great for me and is a perfect size for warzone.

Don't Buy This Monitor
Size: 32-1
I know the price vs viewable real estate is tempting but don't buy this monitor. Mine is defective: You can't see the bottom half inch of the display. That doesn't sound like a big deal except that's where the taskbar is, so I can't see that. There is no support at all. The company that makes this thing doesn't even have a website so I can't try to use their driver instead of Microsoft's generic one. All they have is an outlook email address (that's not very professional - spring for your own domain, they're not expensive) that they don't monitor. I've written twice over two days and have yet to receive a reply. So I guess this monitor is going back which is a shame because the part of the display I can see is really nice. Also, several of the functions don't work. The description and even the setup menu say it has HDR - it doesn't. It says it has speakers - they don't function. The setup menu says it has DDC/CI which is the ability to adjust settings from on the monitor from the PC - it doesn't. All these things together sound like a driver issue, right? Same thing I thought. But since there's no website, no phone number, and no one answering emails, there are no drivers available.

Its not flawless, but probably better than it should be
Size: 32-1
There is not a lot of useful info about these out there, so I will do my best to provide it.
1. To anyone not picky, the monitor is pretty good. Ive got it sitting next to a Dell U3223QE. Its slightly less bright, but not dramatically soo, noticeable, but not a lot.
2. This is fairly glossy, and the gloss coating scratches like nothing else, I scratched this one fairly badly, so ill probably have to order another. The gloss coating appears to enhance the black levels. At least the specific unit I received appears to have slightly better contrast than the U3223QE, which is kinda impressive, it is reflective though.
3. The one real complaint I have is the viewing angles are not the best, though its not like it falls apart the moment you view it off axis, it just is not as good as a high quality panel like the 3223QE.
Again, overall, its pretty good, certainly not as good as the 3223QE, but good enough that it makes me question if anyone should buy something high end at this point in non OLED

Works great out of the box
Size: 49-1
This is labeled a gaming monitor but i use it for work. The picture, color, brightness, sharpness, contrast etc are all really good for my purposes (though admittedly i am using for gaming where users are very discriminating) - for my purposes, to have several windows open at the same time or to have many columns of large spreadsheets visible this is an excellent choice. I wish it had mic, speakers and camera to use for zoom meetings but given the low price i really can't complain. There is nothing comparable in this price range. Big plus is how easy it is to set up. I had it plugged into my macbook within minutes. Wish it could work with USB-C and didn't need hdmi, but that's a minor issue for me.
