This is an AWESOME value. I’m loving it’s cleaning power so far. It is a bit loud, as stated, but that a good trade-off for the price and performance.

Sick about Plush Gigi Paris 7
I’ve gone through several pedometers that I wasn’t happy with and bought my first Omron HJ-112 based on recommendations here at Amazon and other places. I really enjoyed using it – it seemed the most accurate of all the pedometers I used and I like that it can count aerobic steps and the 7-day memory.
Unfortunately, I left it in a hotel room somewhere on a trip (lucky person who finds it!) and am back to purchase another. I was thinking about purchasing the Omron pedometer with software, but am leary because of the negative reviews. Think I’ll stick with the HJ-112 for now until Omron gets the software glitches resolved.

As a 50-year-old man, I know I’m hardly the intended demographic for “Twilight.” But my daughter had absolutely inhaled all four books in this series, so I decided I should at least read one of them to see what the attraction was. And — who knows? — maybe I might even enjoy it.
I’d often heard “Twilight” described as a “vampire book,” but that is really misleading. Sure, it does have vampires, which help add mystery and occasional flurries of action, but in its heart and soul “Twilight” is a simply a teenage romance. The two lovers, human Bella and vampire Edward, fall in love against all odds — just like Romeo and Juliet, just like Maria and Tony in “Westside Story,” just like many a star-crossed pair throughout the history of literature.
The attraction of this book to girls can be summed up in one word: Edward. He is, in Bella’s word, “godlike.” He is impossibly handsome, intelligent, mysterious, caring, and good at EVERYTHING. He comes to Bella’s rescue multiple times. Edward also does something rarely seen at that age (teenage boys, pay attention!) — he shows a genuine interest in Bella, asking all about her and actually listening to the answers.
I’m sure many girls who like the book also identify with Bella’s feeling of being an outsider, of being different than the crowd. (Sometimes I wonder: If everyone feels like an outsider, who are the insiders?)
While it’s obvious why Bella adores Edward, it’s not so clear why he is interested in her (besides the fact that her smell is alluring to a vampire). She is a disappointingly shallow character with virtually no interests outside her infatuation with Edward. Sometimes it’s hard to take her immature hand-wringing (He looked at me! He didn’t look at me! Why isn’t he looking at me?)
Author Stephenie Meyer writes smoothly and clearly, but the book needs some trimming. “Twilight” bogs down about halfway through, after Edward’s secret become clear and he and Bella settle in to overlong conversations fed by an un

“Artemis Fowl” by Eoin Colfer, ©2001
I could not help thinking, “What if he had to hurt or even kill someone or something? Could he do it?” He is presented as a merciless criminal, and he is performing as such, but the situation is not developed that he would have to make such a choice. But he is only twelve years old, so the question is could he?
I always enjoy these teenager stories. They are so interesting and the stories are generally pretty good. This is the story of a little boy genius following in his fathers footsteps. His father was a criminal mastermind. His mother is distraught by is disappearance a year or so before the story.
Artemis Fowl acquires, by a bit of deceit a book of the elves, gnomes, dwarves, etc. With this book he concocts to get hold of a bunch of gold. He underestimates the power of the elves. They underestimate his power. In the end everyone is happier, though the elves are a bit poorer. He gets his mother healed by the power of one of the elfs.

Title: The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger
Pages: 214
Time spent on the “to read” shelf: 4 or 5 months I think.
Days spent reading it: 4 days.
Why I read it: The Catcher in the Rye is an American classic and very controversial. I honestly wanted to see what was so controversial. Also, it was one of those “classics” that I did not read while in high school. In researching about it later I read that in 1981 it was the most censored book in US high schools and the second most taught book in high schools. It was one of the 10 most challenged books in 2005, but it came off the list in 2006. Those are some fun facts for you.
Brief review:
This book frankly annoyed me. The writing has very repetitive and had many aggravating sayings in it. The word “really” is used almost as much as the curse words that are prevalent throughout the book (one reason it is often censored–I would guess that gd appears 2-3 times a page at minimum, sometimes significantly more). And I assure you, both appear more than they need to, I really mean it.
Holden Caulfield is the main character. He is the epitome of teenage angst. His world is utterly pessimistic. He sees only the bad in everything except his sister and his deceased younger brother. He is bright, but is failing out of school. He is obsessed with sex, but cannot develop a relationship with a girl. He is active and pursues all the pleasure trappings that a big city have, but has no defining meaning to his life.
The book covers three days between him being kicked out of school and his untimely return home. Holden is depressed, hates everyone, exaggerates EVERYTHING (annoyingly so), and seems to have few people skills. In short, he is the perfect anti-hero and irritating enough that I did not like him one bit while reading this book.
I suppose this book speaks to the hearts of some disaffected youth, but they would have to be interested in drudging through 200 pages of dribble in order to find the voic

Paris In Love By chance
I’m sort of a late bloomer Twilight fan. However, once I started reading it, I couldn’t put it down, and I became so addicted to it that I literally finished it in just 6 days. It has everything that a good love story is supposed to have, and the fact that it gives the Romeo and Juliet thing a fresh twist makes it that much more engaging. Stephenie Meyer knows exactly what her fans want, and she delivers it all with book one in the Twilight Saga. I would highly recommend this book to anyone.
