I just finished reading Catcher in the Rye and I did not care for it at all. Wanted to read it because of the publicity, but maybe because I am a grandmother, I just didn’t like it. I just finished Dream Catcher by J. D. Salinger’s daughter, a book I greatly enjoyed and think his daughter is a remarkable individual. However, the book seemed extremely juvenile to me. Most of the content was given to sex and I can see where young boys and perhaps girls would enjoy it. Not something I would have ever cared for but it had a lot of unnecessary profanity. It speaks to me of a young man who was mentally ill, I am sure that a label could be put on it today. I am not so sure it was not actually describing Salinger himself. After reading his daughter’s book, I think Salinger definitely had mental illness, what I would call crazy. His family had to endure awful things because of him. He chose to be a recluse, and did not live in the real world, wanted to live in isolation.

So, I ordered this vac, and it showed up the next day. I was amazed since I used super saver shipping. Then I put it together, plugged it in, and started cleaning. I must say, with the cleaning solution and the vac, it did work well. However, I started to notice streaks, and I looked further. It turns out that the brushes were not spinning. I called Hoover, and it is is getting fixed for free. Not a big deal, just very inconvenient. Ive hired professional cleaners before to clean my carpet and they could not get the stains out that this vac could without working brushes even. It works great, and leaves the carpet almost dry. If it wasnt for the DOA part, id be blown away. By the way, the repair company said this issue with the brushes is a high fail item, and it is very common. If your vac is not under warranty, it will cost more to fix it than buy another vac.

A lot of vacuum for the money. Works great. I highly recommend this unit.

This sleekly designed scale looks great in my bathroom, but just like my tap-on scale, it “remembers” my previous weight and sometimes I have to step on it four or five times to get it to change (when I know perfectly well my weight has changed because I have, for example, taken off three pounds of clothing). Disappointing.

I really like this pedometer. I tried the ‘classic pendelum swing’ type, and it wasn’t accurate at all. I’ve tested this one and found it to be quite accurate and helpful. It is nice because it can clip on or be put in your pocket, and it works either way.

Love this ebook reader. The kindle works great and the experimental features are awesome! Bought another for my mother on Mothers day just because of all the things you can do. I highly recommend this product. The only down side is that when reading a book, there are no page numbers and so sometimes it is hard to know what “page” you are on. You only know what percentage of the book you read. But the bookmarking, the “last page read” feature, and adding margin notes are awesome. It may not be the item if you need to look at detailed pictures as you can only blow up the picture x1 magnification. The images are crisp thou (in b/w). I don’t mind the lack of color as I read for the story or the “how to”. I have downloaded some bike maintenance books and running books with charts. Works just fine for these more detailed functions.

I finally purchased this scale after a lot of research and have been using it for 5 months now. All I have to say is this scale is accurate! Accurate meaning it gives me the same number when I step off and step on again. It arrived in perfect condition. Looks exactly like the images. Big and bright display. I cannot be more satisfied with a product. If you need a scale, this is it!

I love the Kindle just wish they would give you the option for back lighting the type. Also would suggest that the keyboard be retractable therefore giving more room to read the page. But I’m addict

Overall I like Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007 because of the many different program features that makes creating new documents almost a breeze. This is especially true with Microsoft Word whi
