“You are exactly my brand of heroin.”
“You are intoxicated by my presence.”
(Quotes approximately verbatim)

Those are just a few of the many, many, many quotes that set off my gag reflex. Twilight is trashy, sappy, predictable, and shallow. And yet…

And yet I must admit it *does* have its own certain allure. Every ounce of logic I possess wants me to give this a one star review. But something won’t let me. There IS something amazingly addictive about this reading, and something pretty satisfying (even if you feel guilty about it).

In sum, if you just want to be entertained and don’t mind cheesiness flaws, then this might be the book for you.

I had low expectations with this inexpensive vacuum but I purchased it due to the low price, free shipping and the great Amazon reviews. We have had it for a year and it works much better than my old vacuum from Sears that cost $250. I tried a Dyson at one point but it was so bulky, difficult to clean my car with and expensive that I returned it to Sears. That was a total waste of money. This vacuum is relatively light and has great sucking power and I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. It is totally sufficent and it costs what a vacuum should cost.

I got the Furminator from Amazon and saved at least $10 or more from the retail pet shops nearby. My only complaint which is insignificant for the money I saved is that it instructs you to keep the comb covered with the plastic protector when not in use. Good idea except for the fact that although my package was sealed, the plastic protector enclosed must belong to a much larger Furminator. I have to keep the cover secured to the Furminator with a rubber band. Other than that it does seem to get a lot of the fine hair out, although I have not seen miraculous results yet as I have a short haired dog. It is shedding season as it is getting warmer out so I continue to use it every day. Looks fine enough to use as a flea comb, too, although they continue to elude me. This 2-2/3 inch edge is almost too big for my sized dog so be sure to get the right size if you have a smaller dog. I was on the fence for the size and decided I’d rather have free shipping and get the bigger size. I wish I would have bought this before the first stiff bristled and brass bristled brush that I got for my dog which is almost useless!

I enjoyed the book very much! For me, it was a “can’t put down” book and I would recommend it to anyone who likes a good story!

I am sooo happy with my new iPod. As 90% of my day I’m in a WiFi environment, I could not bring myself to part with another $30 a month for a Data plan. I not only wanted an MP3 player, but a PDA, a web browser, toy, etc. It’s simply a handy little piece of technology.

The only downside so far has been the auto-locking. After 5 minutes of not being in use, the screen goes dark, and locks the unit. I feel like I’m always unlocking it. Granted you can get to the music controls by clicking the home button twice. I’m sure there’s some app or setting I don’t know about to make it a little more intuitive as to when to lock. If I’m at my desk working, or driving, plugged into USB, I’d like the screen to remain on and accessible. I’d have taken a star away for this… But I’m so happy overall. As I’ve said, MP3 playing wasn’t the only reason I got this unit.

I really liked my K1 (which I bought in June ‘08), and wasn’t in a hot hurry to replace it with a Kindle 2. I actually read a ton of the reviews posted here, including the “beware the differences” featured negative review. And although I considered the Kindle 2, I decided to stick with my beloved original version of the Kindle.

But eventually, months after it was out of warranty, my Kindle 1 started to fail (balky roller switch, a component not found on the K2). Amazon gave me the option of buying a refurbished K1 for $99. But I re-read a ton of reviews here, and took the plunge for the Kindle 2. Smartest thing I’ve done lately. (I did pay for an extended warranty for the K2; if Murphy’s Law is in operation, that means the K2 will last 2.5 years before failure, but I’ll be covered if it fails within 2 years.)

I’ve had the K2 for nearly 3 months and like it so much more than the K1. I have, for the record, had NO wireless connection problems, NO functionality problems, NO screen darkness/contrast/display problems. The battery lasts as awesomely as my K1’s battery did, with the wireless mostly turned off. I have read that the K2’s 3G wireless uses more juice when it’s on and constantly searching for a signal. No biggie, I just turn it off until I need or want it on.

I like the controls on the K2 much better than the K1’s. Obviously the designers learned from customer experience in revamping the Kindle for V.2. It’s no longer easy to accidentally page forward or back. And the joystick controller is way easier to use than the old scroll wheel switch. My K2 has traveled with me around town and internationally, just as my K1 did. Nothing against the iPad or any other e-reader, but I’m happy using my Kindle 2, and happy to have the Global version, which makes me feel very much a citizen of the world. Even if my budget doesn’t allow for a lot of international trips.

The only thing that gives me pause about the K2 is that the battery can’t be replaced by the consumer.
