I enjoyed it from beginning to end. It is a good format, with chapters writted from the perspective of various characters. The audio version, read by different readers for each character also added a good dimension.

So finally, after a long and epic hype about the Twilight saga, I took the plunge…. I read it in two days!

Twilight is such an easy read leaving you bubbling inside with little hearts and cupids flying all around you. It took me back to my first-love and the agony of teenage turmoil. Changing schools, making new friends, forbidden love, hope, fear, excitement and a sense of formidable anguish at the thought of losing someone so vital to your existence – it strikes a chord and I am sure many, many people relate in so many categories – probably why this saga has taken the world by storm!

I have to admit that I saw the film before reading the book – always a bad move, but I enjoyed it immensely. As an adult, you have to take the book for what it is – young, teenage love filled with mythical creatures. I loved it!!! It is so well written and descriptive filling in all the gaps left out of the film (obviously). After reading the book I am now not overly convinced about Robert Pattinson cast as Edward. He’s cute and handsome in many ways, but Stephenie really put the bar high when she created his character. I think Kristen (Bella) is excellent and all throughout the book you can really imagine her voice, face and mannerisms in dialogue and monologue. The story leaves you wanting more, filling you with hope and promise at every turn of the page!

I will undoubtedly recommend this series! An unequivocal thumbs up!

I saw the movie Twilight, several weeks ago, purely by accident. I’m so glad I had recalled hearing something positive about the story in a review I had read and took the time to view the movie. I immediately bought the book and since have read it twice. I must commend the author for her truly unusual and captivating story. It’s my understanding this story came to her in a dream and I count myself lucky she had the dream and wrote it down to share. The story is about a 17 year old high school student, who at first comes across as somewhat ordinary, but who is anything but. She is full of self doubt, has a problem with coordination, lots of typical teen angst, but with a core of unbelievable inner strength. And then we meet Edward Cullen, whom we discover is a “vegetarian” vampire. Edward’s physical beauty if often referenced throughout the novel, and having seen Rob Pattinson’s portrayal of him in the movie, I luckily had a face and physique to put with the character in the novel. I would have to say, great casting. While Edward has a great many gifts such as super human strength, speed, agility, he too is much like Bella. Full of self doubt, unsure of his place in the world, unable to befriend or connect with humans. He leads a fairly solitary life, surrounded only by his adoptive family. To me, the most beautiful part of the story is the gentle and tender way Bella and Edward find each other, share their secrets with each other and come to the knowledge they are soul mates, however challenging that path is to them both, being of two different worlds. Some the passages in the novel where Bella and Edward speak to one another truly takes my breath away. This is a mesmerizing, romantic, engaging novel I know I will read over and over as time goes by and enjoy every word with each reading. In a word, enchanting!

I bought this as a replacement for a windshield mount that was lost. It stays attached to the windshield better than the original mount, but maybe because the original was getting dirty. I don’t need the additional charger, but it only comes as a set, so I had to buy both. It would be nice if they could be offered separately.

This is my first review, and I have to say that this shedding tool is WONDERFUL. I wish I had know of it 6 years ago when I got our Shepherd/rott mix. Spring has always been a pain when it comes to shedding season with this dog, and the first time I used the furminator on her, it took out almost all of the undercoat. I HIGHLY recommend this comb.

We have a saying here “like water for an elephant” which means a useless gesture. Loosely translated, it means a that there is a certain uselessness to give someone who is VERY poor anything – for the very reason that it will never be enough. The elephants in the wild travel in herds and are usually the first to suck a water hole dry. The metaphor is complete implying the uselessness of bringing a thirsty elephant a bucket of water, or several, to quench its thirst.

As soon as I saw the big top cover I was even more interested. I read once that when circus elephants arrived in a town, many kids would gather and offer to bring water to the elephant so it could drink and they may be rewarded with free tickets. Maybe this was it?? The figure of a man entering a Big top from the side flap, only to see a figure looking in from the main door struck me as if it were something I was not supposed to see. This was the beginning of a mezmerizing journey….

In post-depression America, Jacob Jankowski, a bound-for-glory, then displaced graduate student who tragically loses his parents, home and future in the first breath of the story, is our 23 year old hero that we instantly like and feel sorry for. He impulsively, almost accidentally, joins a circus, instantly realizing how destitute he is. Hard work, hideous living conditions, a life on the rails, BUT food…becomes his reality. In the world that he (and we) is new to, he is forced to see and witness more than meets the normal spectator’s eye. In no time we all face the reality of running a circus instead of watching one.

The screeching of brakes against rails; railcars stuffed with wild and exotic animals as well as straw, manure, closely knit sleeping quarters; townfolk (or Rubes) that come to the show; sensuality, sex, alcoholism; and Uncle Al, the Ringleader/owner/cheat/boss extrordinairre, are just for suckers! These are only the backdrop of a magnificent story. Interwoven is the love, the man, the compa

Just got my Tempo delivered today and my carpeted stairs are truly clean in a long while! Was really easy to assemble and I love all the on-board tools. Amazon had the lowest advertised price compared to Walmart, Kmart or Sears, so really good value.

From the first day, I have been pleased with the accuracy, various catagoies of measurements, ease of use, and double belt clip to help with loss. After trying three other pedometers, this pedometer by Omron was worth the money.

Perfect for my tweener’s Ipod. She love it. Clip on back is a nice feature. Might even order on for mine.
