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 my first review and hope it helps someone. Excellent machine and value for the price. Hadn’t cleaned my carpets in 3 yrs since we moved into this new home. With 3 girls it was pretty bad and lot of hair. Not only cleaned the carpet to brand new condition also removed most of the hair.

Only cons :
1. Did not find the spin brush like in the picture for the handheld.
2. more instructions on cleaning for newbies.

As other reviewers have reported, this Casio digital chronometer is very attractive with its gold-tone stainless steel band, plastic case, and blue display. However, it does not have a countdown timer, which is a handy feature to use when cooking. Casio may have thought the stopwatch feature could be used to count the elapsed time, but it doesn’t have an alarm to ring at the end of a specified time. Nevertheless, I would recommend it to those who don’t need the countdown feature.

Since there are so many reviews already recorded here, I just want to say how cool it would have been if a movie version would have been made for Catcher, and if James Dean would have played the title character, Holden Caulfield. And yes, I do highly recommend this coming-of-age classic.

This is such a great little pedometer. I love the clip for when I don’t have pockets, then I can clip it onto my purse or waistband. Using it made me realize I don’t walk as far in a day as I thought I did. I’ve dropped this onto hard floor several times and it keeps on working perfectly. If you need a pedometer, get this one – it’ a great value.

After J.D. Salinger died, my 92-year-old mother expressed interest in reading The Catcher in the Rye, so I ordered a used copy of the book The Catcher in the Rye through Amazon.com and had it sent to her. She really enjoyed reading it and gave a review of it at her retirement home book club. She told them she loved the book. I asked for her comments for this book review, and she said:
“I was curious because I heard that after J.D. Salinger died the book is deemed a classic. I hadn’t read it because at one time it was banned. I learned a lot about Holden Caulfield–coming of age. I laughed a lot when reading great descriptions of characters. I could gloss over swear words. A fun book open- ended.”

The first failed on second use and was, as always, replaced by Amazon without question

That replacement failed after about 14 months. It was only being used in my netbook as additional storage – and so was not subjected to the wear and tear of removal and insertion. Nor does my netbook have heavy use (being only used on vacation) It went in, and remained there until failure – which only amounted to about 5 weeks of actual use.

During that time period I had bought another of these Transcend 16 GB Class 6 SDHC cards to use in a camera. As I use a card reader to transfer images to the computer this SD card was removed and reinserted several times a month. It failed after about 8 months.

In January of this year I had bought another of these, and it failed last month – 5 months of light use in a different digital SLR.

I have Kingston and SanDisk 16 GB cards, none of which have failed.

Additionally, I have over a dozen Transcend 2-8 GB SDHC cards, none of which have failed either.

I can only conclude that either I have experienced a highly improbable event with this 100% failure rate, or that there is a flaw in the Transcend 16 GB cards.

This latter seems much more likely, and I will avoid Transcend cards of more than 8 GB capacity.

Today I just bought a SanDisk 32 GB SDHC – though more expensive than the Transcend 32 GB, I have the expectation that it is not as likely to fail.

Caveat emptor: Let the buyer beware.
