Please do not let your children read this book. Skim through it for yourself and you will see that it is not a conversation with God at all. Beware!

I have had several pedometers, some of which did not last, some which were not accurate, and some which kept resetting themselves without warning. So far this is the best pedometer I have ever had. It does everything it claims it can do. It has been extremely dependable. I keep track of every step I take, for the Move program at the VA, and average approximately 12000 steps per day. This pedometer has yet to miss a step.

Twilight never seemed the type of book I’d ever read- a mushy, sappy teeny-bopper story. There were some reviews that compared the protagonist of this book, Bella Swan, with Elizabeth Bennet of “Pride and Prejudice”. To all such reviewers I can only say, “HOW DARE YOU???!!!!”. Initially, it was this comparison that got my interest piqued and I decided to give the book a fair read, much against my gut feeling. The story follows the life of a young teenager, Bella as she moves into a small town in Washington. For a while its the same story you’ve seen and heard a million times before- new girl comes to small town from big city, all the local boys ogle, local girls get jealous, heroine is not interested in anyone except the lone beautiful brooding boy who seems to hate her. The story builds when this boy, Edward, saves her from getting hit by a truck and she notices his incredible strength and agility. Turns out he’s a vampire who has given up on human blood, and only consumes animals. He finds her scent intoxicating, and continuously fights the temptation to eat her up. From then on, the book focuses on the tortured relationship between the two. There is something about this book that constantly bothers you, and no- it is not even this ridiculous premise of “predator-prey” love. It is the writing that fails on all counts. It is such an immature, dumbed-down story telling that questions the reader’s intelligence. The characters are all so weak and creepy, none of them even the slightest bit endearing. Edward, for instance, follows Bella around everywhere observing her every move, and “listens” to the thoughts of every single person she speaks to, and watches her every single night as she sleeps, for months on end. Dude, that’s called “STALKING”. Stephanie Meyer passes off this behavior as “normal” teenage love and Bella revels in it. She is pathetic throughout the book and doesn’t seem to have slightest bit of intelligence or self-respect. She keeps telling Edward, “I

I picked up Twilight by Stephenie Meyer last year during one of Borders’ Buy 2 get 1 promotion (I know this because the sticker was still on the cover). At the time I knew nothing about the book but I was intrigued by the premise and so picked it up. Since that time this book has become a phenomenon among teens and adults alike (at this posting there were 4500+ copies cataloged on librarything). One of the main reviews on Amazon even calls Twilight “an exquisite fantasy.” On Librarything, Amazon and Barnes & Noble this book was predominately rated at 5 stars. So by the time I got around to reading to this book I was excited thinking that I had a real gem of a tale to sink into.
In fact, Twilight left me stunned…but not in a good way. Not in the “oh my this is one of the best books that I have ever read” sort of stunned. Instead all I kept thinking about was that the main character Bella, who is the narrator of the story, was obsessed. When Bella first moves to Forks, Washington and first encounters the eningmatic and overly beautiful boy Edward Cullen she is intially put off by him….mainly because he has such violent reactions of mood when he is near her. This dislike that Bella has for Edward only lasts a chapter or two before she is drawn to him. He is so handsome after all, how can she not fall for him? Even though initally he is very rude and mean to her. Yet still she yearns for Edward. Then, all too quickly, when Edward starts to loosen up and start to really charm Bella her yearning turns to a deep and all consuming obsession with him. So much so that it isn’t long before she wants to spend every waking moment with him…..and that anytime apart is pure agony.
Overall, this book scares me. This is a book that many young teen girls are picking up and devouring and thinking that its a true love story. That Bella and Edward are as star-crossed as Romeo and Juliet. That their relationship is something to look up to…..to emulate. When in fact its far from

Ofcourse it’s no iPhone, obviously meaning that their is no camera, text message, or phone capabilities, though other then that everything it is capable of is more than worth the price tag. Oh, here’s recommendation on probably the best app out there: freeappaday. Anyways the iPod Touch doesn’t have the best protection against scratches, though you could find plenty of great covers on amazon. This thing is a great gaming device and is capable of things I didn’t know were possible until now!
