I wanted to give a positive review for this book amongst the recent negative ones.

When you read “Twilight” keep in mind it is a simple, light, young-adult read. It is not educational, it is not great literature that will be read in classrooms; It is just a nice, feel good story that sucks you in and distracts you for a while akin to plopping down on the couch and turning on cable TV after a long day.

With that said, I personally enjoyed the novel. I felt the plot was creative and the story sucked me in enough where I always wanted to see what came next. The relationship between Bella and Edward was touching and believable, and I felt emotionally invested in the story as the characters fell in love. The book made me feel high and happy for days after reading it.

I was a bit disappointed, as others have said, in the shallowness of the characters. In particular, I felt like a 100-year old vampire should have a lot more depth to him. I was hoping for more insight into Edward’s philosophy–how a character like Edward sees himself, the world and his relationships. But then again, the story was told from the point of view of a teenager and as a simple read, I imagined the author probably did not want to go into philosophy in the same way that Anne Rice did with her thought-provoking vampire novels.

I was hoping to see Bella really question herself and her relationship with Edward. And I desperately wanted to see a real suspenseful climax where Edward was overtaken by Bella in a moment of true weakness, and her life was seriously threatened by him–as a I felt the book forewarned many times but never followed through with.

All in all, I think the book served its purpose in entertainment. I did finish the series, but I found all the other books to be too lengthy, inconsistent and far-fetched for my taste. As a potential spoiler to anyone who may be clueless about what comes next.. I did not find the werewolfs to be a pleasing addition to the series. Once I read this
CaseCrown Hard Case Mobile

This is the best GPS I have bought.

It has relevant features to easily find the location you need.
Neoprene Sleeve Case Black

Case is strong and good quality. But zipper is terrible: it is hard to move and it broke in 2 days. Considering the price, I do NOT recommend this product.
TomTom GO Carrying Case

A friend recommended this to me and I’m so glad. I tell everyone about it now. My dog is a german shepherd with a significant undercoat. This product gets all the undercoat and most of it in one swipe. It has dramatically cut down on shedding. I don’t have to do any extra cleaning to clean up dog hair now. It must feel good too, because my dog loves it. If you are using a “rake” brush, this is a thousand times better and you will be so glad you bought it.
Hard Shell GPS Case

I bought this case for my Garmin Nuvi 1300, and it works just fine for me. Its true that if you put your nose inside the case and smell it, it smells like smoke…. but I did not buy the case to smell it! The mesh pouch is large enough to fit only my charger, which is perfect for me. Make sure you store your Garmin screen towards the hard shell of the case… NOT towards the pouch where your charger will be. I was VERY skepical about buying this case because of all the negative reviews, but I am glad that I gave it a shot because its exactly what I need: a case for my garmin & my charger.

Nylon Hard Shell Case

It aims to be a book, which is what I want, and accomplishes its goal wonderfully. Brownie points for no backlight, and also for not emphasizing the internet(I don’t want to be distracted by the internet- I want to read!).
Pencil Case of Vintage

To the point:

Pros:
Excellent at picking up dog hair from bare floors, rugs.
Not too heavy, very maneuverable, easy to carry around and to store
Excellent price

Cons:
Air blows out of left side and makes you work a little harder in hallways and near walls
Hose mode not very easy to use, some tools fall out of their storage place
Changing bags is a bit tricky
Does not go under furniture (problematic because hose and wand feature is not easy to use)

Overall it is a good product. Problems are not difficult to overcome. If cord is short or I want to minimize plugins I use 16 foot extension cord. For under furniture that cannot be moved easily, I use the Hoover brand small cannister type vac that I bought 27 years ago. Hoover is a good brand.

Mini Neoprene Sleeve Case

As if anyone would read this one review out of the hundreds that have already been written about this product but I thought I would give my two cents worth. I’m a average runner fixing to turn 30 and I want to get into marathon running. I have trained and ran in a couple of 1/2 marathons and on the second I used this watch to help me train. It’s all about controlling my pace that I had trouble with before the watch. I would always start a race to fast and wouldn’t have anything left to finish. I’m going to hit a marathon this year and I can’t wait to start training with this watch helping me.
