*Man Booker International Prize finalist*

"Brave and ingenious." --The New York Times

"Gripping, darkly humorous . . . profound." --Phil Klay, bestselling author and National Book Award winner for Redeployment

"Extraordinary . . . A devastating but essential read." --Kevin Powers, bestselling author and National Book Award finalist for The Yellow Birds

From the rubble-strewn streets of U.S.-occupied Baghdad, Hadi--a scavenger and an oddball fixture at a local caf --collects human body parts and stitches them together to create a corpse. His goal, he claims, is for the government to recognize the parts as people and to give them proper burial. But when the corpse goes missing, a wave of eerie murders sweeps the city, and reports stream in of a horrendous-looking criminal who, though shot, cannot be killed. Hadi soon realizes he's created a monster, one that needs human flesh to survive--first from the guilty, and then from anyone in its path. A prizewinning novel by "Baghdad's new literary star" (The New York Times), Frankenstein in Baghdad captures with white-knuckle horror and black humor the surreal reality of contemporary Iraq.

Looking and acting great!
Style: Standard Grip, Size: 50ft, Color: Red Clay
As I unpacked this hose, I was dubious about its likelihood of not kinking. I stretched it out and untwisted the packing condition and waited 24 hours. I was more encouraged when I placed it on the hose rack and careful to keep it untwisted. I've used it a couple of times and so far, I'm impressed. It has not kinked once on a patio with lots of twists and turns and lots of items to get tangled upon. There has been no leaking and good water flow. I was a bit disappointed to see that the connections were composite and not brass but I should have been a more careful reader. We shall see how it holds up in the blistering Arizona sun. I love the muted clay red color on my red brick patio.

Very comfortable
Size: 36" X 24", Color: Grey, Size: 36" X 24", Color: Grey
Very soft and dries fast. I did the scoot test on them to test the grip and they passed with flying colors. Got them on a limited deal and it was worth every penny. I will be purchasing more in different colors as there are plenty of options. I haven’t washed them yet but if there’s an issue, I will definitely update this review. They are nice and thick and fell good on your feet.

Nice shower mat
Size: 50" X 30", Color: Navy
I have had it for almost a month now and run it through the washer and dryer. Its nice and soft, decent size I did not use a measuring tape to check how precise the sizing is. Absorbs the water when I step out of the shower well and doesn't feel wet or let anything through. Stays in place on the tile floor. Only challenge has been the robot vacuum cleaner gets trapped on it about half the time, but this might just be a testament to its thick nature.

Soft and washes well.
Size: 30" X 20", Color: Grey
These are great rugs and I keep going back and buying more. They are such a good value for money and they wash really easily. They don't slide or shed and they are very durable. They are very soft.So far we have them in both bathrooms and next to our bed.

Great Purchase
Size: 24" X 24" Contour Rug, Color: Beige
I picked these rugs (I purchased 3 of them) because it said its for elongated toilets. I have elongated toilets so I ordered for each room, they are a little large. I thought they would fit the toilet perfectly and not be large where it moves away from the side of the toilet. they are all very soft, like a shag rug, nice and thick and they come in many colors. The only thing I would change is the price of the light grey rug.
