The Help is a great book. And the audio book makes it even better. The voices are pitch perfect and the direction excellent. Even if you have read the book I recommend listening to the CD

Good programs – does everything I need. Fairly easy to switch from the old Microsoft to the new one and all my old files still work.

I usually don’t write reviews, but I REALLY enjoy my Forerunner 305 and wanted to share with others. I have had my forerunner for about a month and am more pleased each time I use it. I find it easy to customize and it seems to have all the features I could want and more. The Heart Rate info is stable, easy to read and the GPS locates satellites quickly. I Love being able to run in new places and see exactly how far I am running and at what pace. The best thing is that it actually makes my running more fun. I download my runs to the Training Center Software and review them to watch my improvement which gives me more encouragement. I thought this was for more advanced runners, but I find that as a novice runner it really keeps me motivated.

Let me start by saying that I can see why a lot of people wouldn’t like this book, especially a lot of people who have to read it for school. To many people, it seems like the typical “teenage angst” kind of book, and it’s very easy to think that the whole way through the book. If you learn nothing from this book then you didn’t get the meaning behind it – it’s a blunt statement, either you agree or you don’t. And if you *do* get the meaning behind it, but found it to be boring or repetitive anyway, then that is your opinion. Some people just simply don’t like the same books.

I have to admit, when I first started reading Catcher in the Rye I was a bit struck at why it was considered a classic in literature. With me, I started seeing something deeper when I got to the middle of the book. It isn’t until you start seeing the same things being repeated that you start to notice. The title of my review is a great example. Holden Caulfield is a prime example of questioning youth. Most teenagers aren’t focused on morals, nor do many of them think deeply about what goes on in the world. And the few that do are like Holden; they’re confused, lonely, and scared as hell. So the more I read and the deeper I delved into the meanings behind Holden’s thoughts and ideas, the more I began to understand. Holden Caulfield isn’t just the average 16-year old. He is, yet he isn’t. He *thinks* deeper than the average teenager. He’s still immature in a lot of his thinking throughout the book but overall his character is just this mass of confusion. He seems confused at a lot of things, at why a lot of people are the way they are, yet he himself isn’t perfect. That is what shapes his character. He isn’t flawless, and the author, Salinger, clearly brings that out to the reader. Sometimes Holden contradicts himself – a flaw within himself that is telling the readers that he is human. By developing his character in this way, I saw it as a way to make you both like and dislike him. If you liked

Holds in place and much more convenient then using the suction cup on the windshield. GPS is closer to the driver making it easier to view.
