Possibly the worst book I’ve ever read. Actually, I can’t say that because I didn’t read the whole thing. I stuck it out as best I could, and it was at around page 150 that I let out a frustrated scream; then, in anger, ripped the cover off and threw the pages into the fireplace. The cover I gave to my dog who’s been chewing on it, happily, for the last several days.

Stephenie Meyer should go to prison for foisting such an atrocity upon the young minds of the world. Seriously; I’m not kidding.

I bought this book with high expectations after reading all the glowing review. I was disappointed as it wasn’t as good as I thought it would be. Ms. Gruen is a talented writer, and the book starts off well, but then travels into sappy “chick lit” territory, especially the ending.

However, the one thing that ruined this book for me was the depiction of mental illness. The character August is described as a paranoid schizophrenic. I am not a psychiatrist but I am a mental health professional and his symptoms sound closer to bipolar disorder. Also, August is cruel and violent, to say the least, when acutally most paranoid schizophrenics are NOT VIOLENT. Yes, I know it’s fiction and the author is free to take artistic license, but misconceptions about mental illness are common and this book only furthers them.

Lastly, I understand that the book is being made into a movie with Reese Witherspoon. I like Reese and even though I wasn’t crazy about the book, was thinking of going to go see it until I learned that Robert what’s-his-fang from the horrible “Twilight” series is playing Jacob Jankowski. Noooooooooooooo!

This is a good book that entertains and makes the reader want to see what happens next. I have the audiobook version which has 15 cds. There are four narrators – one for each of the main voices in the book (one for the section where there is an omniscient narrator) which not only makes it easy to follow what is happening but to visualise the women in your mind as the story unfolds. The narrators are professional actresses and they are excellent as they not only portray their assigned characters well but within each section give differnt voices for the characters being interacted with. The story is a good one, written with sympathy, suspense and realism. It is not perfect but it meets my criteria of a good book – I wanted to see what happened next and I was sadder the closer to the end I reached as this meant the great experience I was having would soon be ending. Its a good book and the audio version adds an extra dimension.

I read such great reviews about this scale and figured I would be more than pleased with it. It is horrible. If I weigh myself with five pound weights and then weigh myself witout them, the scale shows the same number. If I weigh myself a half hour apart without consuming anything and wearing the same clothes the scale goes up or down over three pounds. I have never been so dissatisfied with a scale.

For lots of newer cars the windshield is so far from the dash you cant reach your garmin. This portable mount doesnt move and you can position it anyway you want without hindering your view. Higly recommended
