I’ve been looking for 3 years for an accurate pedometer. This one is accurate; and easy to read and works in your purse. The clip holds strong and the additional security of the “leash” to also attach it to your clothing puts your mind at ease that you won’t drop it down the toilet. I really, really like this pedometer.
Where to Eat Boston

I started reading Twilight because several friends and co-workers raved about it. I saw the first half of the movie a while ago and didn’t really like Bella, and I was incredibly bored. NOTHING exciting happened (hence, why I’ve only seen the first half; I stopped watching it). However, all of my friends and co-workers loved the book, so I figured I would give it a try. I am currently almost 3/4 of the way through the book and I feel the same way I did when watching the movie: I do not like whiny, insecure Bella, and I am incredibly bored because NOTHING has happened. Oh, apart from Bella and Edward falling in love. That’s not very exciting for 300 pages.

In addition to the dull story, I don’t like the book for several other reasons: It is very repetitive. Bella and Edward constantly talk about how dangerous it is for them to be together. After the first few times, I got it, I shouldn’t have to feel like Meyer is beating it into me. The description of how attractive Bella finds Edward is brought up every other page. Sometimes the dialogue doesn’t make sense, and I find myself re-reading several sentences just to figure out what the characters are talking about. Also, the description of the reactions are confusing. Most of the time when Bella or Edward gets upset I can’t figure out why and a lot of the other reactions seem inappropriate as well.

I could go on and on but the gist is: it’s boring, uneventful, and conflict free. At first I thought that the fact that Edward and Bella being together as dangerous was the conflict, but if the characters brush that aside, it’s not really a conflict. I will finish the book however, mainly to justify the $10 I spent on it at Wal-mart, and the fact that reading other reviews indicated there will be a REAL conflict in the last few chapters.
If you want a book that is suspenseful and interesting, read something else. This is just plain boring.
