Let’s start with the fact that this book is an American Classic. It deals with the coming of age of Holden Caulfied, a completely incoragable young man who is not always likeable. That’s the thing that sucks you in. This kid swears, smokes, lies, gets kicked out of school, etc. etc. Not exactly the kind of book I want my teenager reading, but in the end, the story all comes together.
***Possible Spoilers***
Holden is quite intuitive and really sees the underbelly of human nature and the false bravado with which adults live their lives. He, of course, is full of false bravado himself (the scene with the hooker shows that). He calls them like he sees them, even at the expense of others.
Is Holden a hero to teens or a rebel without a cause? The answer lies in your own interpretation of this story. Give it a try.

This hand blender is great…my previous one just sat in the cabinet all the time because it wasn’t at all efficient. This one is worth the price for the power it provides; it purees soup like a dream. The sealable blending container it comes with is very handy as well.

I have this and ordered one for my kids. It arrived without the screws to hold it together. If it had arrived with all the parts I’m sure we would like it!

What an awesome product.
Received my Kindle in South Africa, extremely quickly after ordering (thanks Amazon), eagerly ripped the packaging apart and literally tried for 3 minutes to carefully remove the picture that was “pasted” on the screen!!!!!…….only to discover that it was a screen displayed picture Seeing is believing. Screen resolution is awesome to say the least.

Since then I haven’t looked back, I’ve already ordered and read about 35 books in the few months that I’ve owned this product.

Don’t, however, believe everything that they say about this Kindle:
1) the battery does NOT last for two weeks with the wireless switched off – it lasts longer!
2) reading in direct sunlight…..OK…..it really works!
3) easy to download new books…nope…WAY too easy……my credit card is taking strain
4) ……now my mom wants to claim it for herself…….will probably have buy her one for Xmas / Birthday.

To Amazon – awesome product – awesome service – Thank You.

I ditched my old analog scale in hope of a more consistent and accurate reading. This scale delivers in the consistency department, but only with each calibration. What I mean is this… Be sure to calibrate the scale according to the instructions at initial setup and after moving or bumping it. Each time I weigh myself after calibration, I get the same result which is good. So, Calibrate once, and you will always weigh the same.

Here’s the problem, if I accidentally bump it, I will re-calibrate according to the manufacturer’s instructions. After re-calibration, I get a different reading. My weight will vary up to 1 pound. I understand there is some “play” in the sensors, but possibly a flat base affixed to the 4 feet keeping them in the same relative position may help. I am using it on a hard, flat floor as instructed.

I do love the design and the LCD is very easy to read. Can’t say I would buy again but maybe I’m expecting too much from a $29 scale.

This was a really good, enjoyable, authentic, endearing book. Thoroughly enjoyable read. One of a kind, leaves you wanting more of the circus on the rails of the depression era. I also love first-person novels that stay on plot and Gruen doesn’t disappoint there.

I TOTALLY disagree with another reviewer who said Gruen over-anthropomophized and over-romanticized the animals in the story! Hardly. If anything, if Jacob is a vet, we read very little of him doing his job in context of the story. And anyone who’s around animals or has worked with animals can hardly fail to form emotional attachments to them.

When I finished WATER FOR ELEPHANTS, I like I felt when I finished reading FRIED GREEN TOMATOES AT THE WHISTLE STOP CAFE and SEABISCUIT.

I wanted a scale that would be easy to read and simple to use and I found it! You just step on it, it make no noise and the numbers are easy to read. If you move it, the first time you step on it, a weight will appear, followed by a “C”. That’s all there is to re-calibrate it. Step on it again, and your correct weight will appear.

I find myself going on more run’s and exploring more area’s now that I have this watch. Before I used to always do the same routes but now I’ll take different turns and still know how far I ran. I actually think I do this sometimes just so I can see the data on my monitor when I plug it in at home. The 305 is by far the best piece of equipment that I ever purchased for running.

Sara Gruen delivers a readable tale that’s a tad too formulaic to be fully engaging. In the same way that the narrator of the story insists from personal experience that it is impossible to carry enough water to slake an elephant’s thirst, I’d insist that this container doesn’t hold enough water to satisfy a serious reader.

Also noted: the description of animals and animal behaviors is approximately cartoony, and takes away from the whole.

On the flip side, it is an easy read that won’t occupy more than an evening and Gruen does offer up some fascinating historical details about old-style railroad circuses, which altogether comes off as plausibly true.
