    *Drop shipped* - experience wasn’t great, and while I never want to to leave negative feedback for a seller, I can’t ignore or let slide the fact that this item was sent to me off of Amazon. I went through the process of seeking the item out on eBay to avoid spending money on Amazon, even with additional cost. To have item drop shipped from Amazon at a markup is just wild to me. The delivery process a was week longer than . Contacted eBay, item eventually arrived. Just not a good experience.

    The buyer unfairly misrepresented eBay's policy on drop shipping, which explicitly allows the practice when handled properly. The item was delivered as described, and the buyer had the option to cancel or request a refund if they were dissatisfied with the process. Instead, they chose to proceed with the purchase and leave negative feedback. We fulfilled our obligations under eBay policy and ensured the item reached them. This feedback is unwarranted and does not reflect the quality of our servi

Themes The novel delves into themes such as: Mastery and Skill: Hel's proficiency in Go and his skills as an assassin reflect a pursuit of perfection. Philosophy and Existentialism: The concept of "shibumi" itself, meaning effortless perfection, elegance, and simplicity, is central to the novel. East vs. West: Cultural contrasts and Hel's identity straddling East and West are explored. Power and Corruption: The story critiques global power structures and the corrupting influence of corporate and governmental entities.

Joe College by Perrotta, Tom
Jul 06, 2024
Delightful
Tom Perrotta’s "Joe College" is a delightful and thought-provoking journey through the tumultuous life of a college student in the 1980s. The novel centers on Danny, a junior at Yale University, who navigates the complexities of academic pressure, social life, and personal identity. Perrotta’s strength lies in his ability to create relatable characters and capture the essence of the college experience. Danny is a compelling protagonist—bright, introspective, and often caught between his working-class background and the elite world of Yale. His summer job as a “Roach Coach” driver serving food to construction workers provides a stark contrast to his Ivy League life and serves as a grounding force that keeps him connected to his roots. The novel is filled with humor and sharp observations about the cultural and social divides of the time. Perrotta deftly explores themes of class, ambition, and the search for identity, all while maintaining a light, engaging tone. The cast of supporting characters, from Danny’s blue-collar family to his eclectic group of friends and romantic interests, are vividly drawn and add depth to the story. One of the standout aspects of "Joe College" is Perrotta’s knack for balancing the serious with the humorous. The novel tackles significant issues such as the pressure to succeed and the struggle to find one's place in the world, but it does so with a sense of wit and warmth that makes it an enjoyable read. Danny’s internal conflicts and external misadventures are both poignant and entertaining, making him a character readers can easily root for. Perrotta’s portrayal of the 1980s campus life is both nostalgic and insightful, offering a window into a specific time and place while addressing universal themes that resonate with readers of any generation. His writing is crisp and engaging, making "Joe College" a page-turner that is hard to put down. In conclusion, "Joe College" is a smart, funny, and heartfelt novel that captures the essence of the college experience and the challenges of growing up. Tom Perrotta’s keen observations and relatable characters make it a standout in the genre of campus novels. Whether you’re a fan of Perrotta’s previous works or new to his writing, "Joe College" is a book that will leave a lasting impression.
