I liked everything about this book, but I especially loved the contrast between Jacob as a young man and his life as a 90 (or 93) year old. It’s one of those stories that older people tell that makes young people realize they need to sit down and talk with the elderly people they know, or this type of story is going to be gone forever. Jacob’s story of the circus and falling in love were so moving, but when you see what happens to Jacob as an old man, it is bittersweet. I was expecting the end to be much more of a downer – I thought the ending was very uplifting.
Food Smart! Eat Your

My brother got me this book for my birthday. A lot of my co-workers and friends who have already read it recommended it to me. I haven’t read a book that really moved me the way this one is. I’m right in the middle of it right now and it is so enthraling and exciting to find out what happens next. Each chapter leaves you wanting more before they switch who’s perspective you’re seeing things through. As you read on, you start to have your questions from previous chapters answered. It’s also a real eye-opener to how recent all of the issues with the Civil Rights movement was. Even though this book is fictional, it’s so real. I’m not even a big history person and I really didn’t know much about the Civil Rights movement. What I learned in school, I pretty much have stored in the most hidden depths of my mind at this point. This book is opening those drawers and reminding me of a lot of forgotten history and it is also very inspiring to know that there are still books about people who want to stand up for what they believe in. Read this book. You will not be sorry. It’s an easy read, it’s very well written (don’t be fooled by what seems like type-os.), and at least from what I’ve read thus far, it’s not raunchy so you could read it with your kids. Plus, the chapters are not very long which makes it easier to read with people if that’s your thing. Enjoy!

I am really pleased with this vacuum. It may not be fancy or have lots of bells and whistles but it gets the job done well. The sucking power is amazing. I feel like my carpet is really clean and free from pet hair. All the attachments work well and get into all the nooks and crannies of a home. I am very happy with the vacuum and the price that I paid for it. I haven’t had any problems with it and I don’t have any complaints about it at this time. I recommend it highly.

This book was ok… a little hard to follow at times, as it went on and on. Would have like to ask more questions of why this or that.

You have to love Microsoft. They have totally changed their suite of Office products, which means if you want to be in the game, you buy the new software. Thank you Microsoft. It’s always fun to “hunt” for the “undo” button.
Haute Cuisine Gourmet Food

Amazon.com and its vendor, “Eat Smart” did everything correctly, and processed my order efficiently. The scale was packed very well for shipment and delivered via “standard/no fee” shipment promptly. We love the scale, especially because of its big, bright numbers. It is handsome, has a small footprint yet large enough surface for a big person to stand on, and it is priced very competitively. If you need a new bathroom scale, I recommend this one!

This baby food carousel was a good idea but it needs to be excecuted better. Every time I try to spin it around the shelf collapses down to the next shelf. I actually finally just took it off the counter because it was driving me crazy!
