This is a very good book. It’s a fast read, despite its mammoth size. Granted, it’s no “It” by Stephen King, but it’s a pretty big book at a whopping 498 pages. I think this book could have been a lot better if it had been about a hundred pages less. Here’s my simple breakdown:
PROS:
The book reads fast, so each chapter seems to fly by. The relationships between the characters are real, the dialogue feels real, even the love seems real. Realism keeps a reader glued to the book & this book – despite its obvious vampire plot – is very realistic. It’s also very well written. Stephanie Meyer doesn’t say in ten sentences what she can say in five, and she doesn’t say in five what she can say in one. She’s succinct and an incredible writer. Most of the time. This makes for a quick and satisfying read, with all Bella & Edward’s high highs and low lows feeling familiar and plausible.
CONS:
Too much repetition. In attempt to posit the awkward, clumsy, and so-not-a-supermodel Bella against the suave, uber-hunk vampire Edward, Stephanie Meyer goes too far. My head started to swim after awhile with all the repetition. It’s like this: Bella sees Edward; he’s so handsome and suave and she’s such an awkward clutz! Things are awkward. Then Bella goes home & things with her dad are awkward. Then she goes to school, where, you guessed it, things are awkward. There’s also too much focus on Edward’s good looks. I found it to be clunky and expositional. Edward speaks from ruby red lips and his muscled arms and his chiseled chest, etc. etc. We get it: she’s average at best and he’s just the bee’s knees. We get it.
Also (and this didn’t bother me too much but I feel I have to include it in the “cons” section), I thought that for a downtrodden, sullen, loner with low self-esteem Bella acted awfully rude and arrogant to the kids at her school who were only trying to be nice and befriend her. You can’t get mad that you have no friends and no one understands you when you detach from everyo

I ordered this with my PS3 purchase. It arrived a couple of days after the system did. The original cable they sent was defective (a lot of horizontal static lines and searching for signal messages). I informed the company of this and they sent me out a replacement within a couple of days. It works perfectly. It was a small inconvenience to save $30.

My girlfriend and I each got this pedometer and we both really like it. It is small, accurate, and easy to operate.

Great southern tale of relationships between two races. Entertaining and fictional. It is not true. We loved our household help and considered her one of the family. My mother helped her get a better job in the local hospital as a nurses aid! I just hope that people will not look at all southerners as some who were characterized in this book written by Ms Stockett.

My family travels a lot internationally, so I wanted a scale to weigh the luggages are within airline limits of 50 lb. The product served the purpose and showed the weight very close or same as the airline scale at the check-in. Will look forward to its accuracy as the product ages.
Advantage:
- no on-off switch
- auto-calibration
- shows the final weight for 2-3 sec, so you can step down and still check the value registered (in case you have a big belly)
Note: I didn’t read the box/instructions carefully and ended up buying new batteris for this, but the product comes with 4 AAA size batteries, hidden in the box.

I have been using the Omron HJ 112 Digital Pocket Pedometer for a few weeks now and I am very happy with it. It easily slips into a pocket or clips to a waistband. It is easy to set up and easy to read. I like the way it resets itself to zero everyday. The instructions say you can put it in your purse. I haven’t done that because I am more active than my purse. The only improvement I would make is a back light so you could read it after evening walks.

This book has all the ingredients for a great movie: action, romance, history, comic relief and even a little violence. The cruelty to animals was a little hard to take at times but wasn’t gratuitous. Overall an excellent story.
