The Moon in Deep Winter

Product Description
This literary thriller revolves around Parker Sloane. When he returns from a dismal foray into third-world cash-smuggling to his childhood home in the woods of New England, it seems he’s seeing his country and his blended stepfamily for the first time—and finding both just as twitchy, desperate, paranoid and unpredictable as the underworld types he thought he’d escaped.

Before he can even unpack, Parker goes head-to-head with his relatives—his tyrannical stepfather, seething younger brother, newly evangelical mother, and his alluring younger half-sister Rita—and with the demons they never exorcised.

Delicately but disastrously, Parker attempts to keep his family from imploding, unaware that they have their own plans for escape. The Moon in Deep Winter combines the dark comedy of the Coen brothers with the doomed lyricism of Denis Johnson, creating an airtight world of homicidal family dysfunction.

Probably best to fully charge it, which may take a few hours.  But I think you can use it while still plugged in after probably a half hour . . . .is there a suggestion in the Users Guide?

It has to have a minimum charge before it will reboot. I would agree that at minimum, let it charge a half-hour before messing with it. Three to four hours would be better. Hopefully you have plugged it into the wall and not the USB port, it will charge faster that way.

Have tried this and it is still stuck at the same place in the loading barr. When i try and reboot it only loads up to that point, a third of the way up then it stops. Has been charging for more than 4 hours now
