I have been using this product during my Mileage buildup for the upcoming Honolulu Marathon. The features help me train and keep me motivated with alarms that beep if too slow and if your heartrate isn’t where it needs to be. My only problem with it is that the map feature is a little dated and doesn’t reflect the actual routes I run. Also, it can take awhile for the GPS to sync with the satellite. Overall, I think the device works perfect for me. This is the only running GPS I have ever purchased so I have nothing else to compare it to.

What an awful book. Written in 1951, this book originally sparked great controversy with its mature themes focusing on the teenage angst, loneliness and rebellion of the protagonist Holden Caulfield. I guess its like a really bad version of James Dean’s classic Rebel Without a Cause. Caulfield is the archetype of an underachiever. Today kids are reading about the latest sluggard – Greg Heffley from The Diary of a Wimpy Kid. The characters Greg and Holden have a lot in common.

Catcher in the Rye follows the life of Holden Caulfield for a few days after being expelled from Pencey prep school as he returns home to New York City and contemplates life. Although, Caulfield does little contemplation and spends most of his time whining and complaining about everyone and everything. He sees the negative in everything (except his little sister) and makes one bad and offensive decision after another for almost 300 pages of misery. The only value I can find in reading this book today is to use Holden Caulfield as an example of what NOT to be – lazy, negative, and uninspired. Unfortunately the latest version of Holden Caulfield appears to be as popular with readers today as Catcher in the Rye was fifty years ago. When are we going to wake up and stop celebrating negative characters like Holden and Greg?

I absolutely loved this story. The way each chapter is written from a different character’s point of view made falling in love with these people so easy. Stockett painted such an amazing picture I could absolutely feel the sweltering summer heat and then that first cool blast of relief from the gaudy window air conditioner.

I sometimes get bored or dread trudging through when so many details are described in stories if the characters really have no depth to them but I couldn’t get enough of this book. Even the seemingly unimportant details…they just made me love this story more. I never wanted it to end.

I can’t wait for the movie and I’m sure it won’t be too long before I’m reading this book again.
