I received one of these pedometers as a gift a few years back and have had absolutely no problems with it, so when my retired parents both got into walking and were using crappy pedometers that wouldn’t keep the step counts and couldn’t be reset, I knew exactly what they needed. So I ordered two, gave one to my mom for Mother’s Day and sure as heck, my dad wanted one of his own….good thing I thought ahead! I really recommend this pedometer. It is easy to use, easy to read, accurate…but I really like that it works equally well in your pocket and doesn’t have to be on your hip. Keep the instructions, because when you change the batteries (about once a year or less) you will need to set it up again.

I’m serious. I got fed up reading the book, took a few days off, and then when I finally got up the nerve to slog through the rest, I tried to look it up on my computer for a good HALF HOUR because it sounded like something a fourteen-year-old had posted on [...].

Then I remembered that it was a “real” book. Whoops.

I read this travesty because I work at a high school and I teach writing. And a (very) small part of me is glad that I did read it… because now I know why there are so many abysmal examples of “love stories” out there.

The biggest problem with Meyer’s book? The characters have no personalities. There is no reason to care about them. The narrator is someone who complains about everything–even when people are *nice* to her–and her only achievement in 500 pages is that she catches the eye of some super-hot boy. Edward is described as being so perfect you can’t even remotely identify with him, and all he does is whine about his tortured psyche and tell Bella what to do. As a couple, they do nothing but awkwardly snark at each other and provide examples of horrendous communication skills… not exactly the paradigm of relationships that I’d want to expose to teenagers.

Besides that… there’s really no plot. Like, none. And the writing is painfully amaturish. A brief summary/example: Bella moves. Bella hates moving. Bella goes to school. Bella sees Edward. Bella is inexplicably attracted to Edward. Bella and Edward creepily stalk and obsess over each other. Around page 400, some random vampire decides to come after Bella after an awkward and contrived confrontation, thereby creating a reason for “drama.”

In summary, I failed to see anything even a little romantic about these two sorry excuses for individuals, and it honestly frightens me that so many young people think this is an example of what a loving relationship is supposed to look like. Kids, your boyfriend should not ignore your opinions or physically drag you around against your will or sneak
