I could not put this book down. It was incredible. The only reason I didn’t give it five stars is because I didn’t particularly love the end. I wanted to know more about what happened to specific characters that I had gotten attached to!

Got the tip off on this scale from the “Heir to Blair” blog. My scale had been giving me incredibly inconsistent weights, so I thought I’d give this a try.

Delivery was prompt, and the product was safely packaged to ensure it would not be damaged. The scale works great, and is very consistent. I especially like that the display is lit, that is a nice feature.

If you want bells and whistles, this is not the product for you. If you want a basic, easy to use, high quality scale – I suggest you look into this one!

I will admit I did enjoy this book, to an extent. It was the only book of the series that I enjoyed because it focused on their relationship. However she loses that focus and takes no risks in the series. So I have very little respect for Meyer’s writing, very very poor. My comments go much more in depth in the following book reviews because they get worse and worse in quality.
Street Car or Trolley

Ninety-year old Jacob lives in a nursing home where he spends most days parked in the hallway, waiting for Sundays when a visitor comes. He’s excited because a traveling circus has set up next door and he can’t wait to go. He flashes back to his youth during the Depression, when he was penniless and joined a third-rate circus as an almost-qualified vet. There, he fell in love with Marlena, the beautiful star horsewoman. Unfortunately, his boss was her brutish husband.

I absolutely loved this book. It contrasts the misery of being old and helpless with the non-stop action of life “on the show,” though that certainly had its share of misery, too. The pathetic circus Jacob joined was full of lively characters, some kindly, others cruel, and Jacob was forced to grow from naive youth to courageous man. There were many pages that reduced me to sobs, especially those detailing the agonizing despair of some nursing home residents and some instances of animal cruelty at the circus.

I would have given this book five stars, but I didn’t like that it was written in the first person (which immediately takes away some suspense as to the future of the narrator), and it was written entirely in the present tense which struck me as awkward. The story itself is engaging, exciting, touching, and rewarding. Highly recommended.
