I asked my groomer about this and she had great things to say, so we decided to get one. It has been great! The price was really good also. We use it about once a week on our mix breed black lab who sheds contstantly – and our floors are really looking better. We used to have hair everywhere and it’s way less now. Hair used to fall off him while you were petting him and that barely happens now.

The groomer told me to use it really lightly when you brush and that it will take off hair as long as you keep using it. I try not to do it too long, but do every area pretty well once a week.

Try this if you have a heavy-shedder! It’s great!

Sorry for the paradoxical title, but this is really the best way that I can sum up Twilight. I actually saw the movie before reading the book, and the movie made me want to pick up the book. Plus I just had to see what all the fuss was about. This book is about a girl named Bella Swan who moves to Forks, Washington to live with her dad after spending the past 17 years living with her mom. She soon meets a mysterious boy named Edward Cullen who behaves very strangely around her. The first part of the book spends a lot of time describing their interactions together (I’m trying not to provide too many spoilers here), and they eventually fall in love despite the fact that Edward is a vampire and wants to drink Bella’s blood.

This book is extremely enjoyable if you don’t take it too seriously. The story itself is a good one… star-crossed lovers with a dangerous twist… but the way that it’s written leaves much to be desired. Words like “murmured” and “incredulous” are overused to the point that it becomes difficult to believe that the author herself has a degree in literature. Bella wavers from being vaguely annoying (”holy crow”? Seriously, who talks like that?!) to completely non-believable as a human being (What is it that makes her so appealing not just to Edward, but to all the guys in the story? The intelligent mind would like to believe that it’s more than a pretty face and endearing clumsiness). Edward’s attraction to Bella is never properly explained, other than the fact that she smells good and is “fascinating” to him. All of the characters, Bella and Edward included, remain very two-dimensional, and Bella never seems to associate with anyone other than Edward unless she wants something from them. Edward is the prototypical knight in shining armor, but we never really learn why he would want to protect Bella in the first place.

All of this said, I admit that I’ve read this book over and over, and will likely continue to do so. If you’re seeking complex ch

I have a 1 year old Golden Retriever and she is going through the final stage of losing her puppy hair. I have been very impressed with the amount of hair that the Furminator eliminates. I use it once a week (if I remember) and have noticied that the hair around my apartment is barely there. Great Purchase!!

Here are my problems with this book:
1) Remove the sex and animal cruelty scenes, and it reads like a script from a bad Disney movie.
2) The main character is shallow and throughout the book I had no idea what made him do the things he did. Why did he join the circus in the first place? Not once did he mention missing his dead parents, his home, school etc. Didn’t he have any memories from his childhood, no worries about the future, no relatives, no friends? You never knew what he was about to do next, because his motives, thoughts and emotions were never dealt with, and that’s probably because the writer had absolutely no idea how to do that properly.
3) I get the feeling that some people liked this book simply because it was so easy to read even Bobo the monkey would get it, since it lacked any depth or complication in the script or the characters. Readers who rate this kind of books with 5 stars have obviously no idea what real literature is.
4) The dialogue was poor, and so blatantly contemporary that it made me angry at the writer’s lazyness of doing her research properly.
5) It was so obvious that the writer was a woman that you could not get it out of your mind even for a minute.
6) I’m no prude, but I’m sure images of the masturbating dwarf will be haunting me for a long time.
7) Trust a good old disaster/great accident to get rid of the bad guys for you. That way you don’t get to kill them yourself and become (gasp!) a bad guy yourself. I would be curious to see how the main character would get out of all that mess if the stampede had not happened. If you owned a circus and half a brain, would you hire a 90 year old cripple whith serious health problems who ran away from a nursing home and whom you have just met? Yeah, I didn’t think so.
9) I can’t really recall the sex scenes, which means they we probably not as graphic as some readers suggest, and as for the animal cruelty parts of the novel, yes, they were (theoretically) gruesome but failed t

I liked this book. One reason is that there is a ton of high-tech things that the fairies use. Another is that the fairies are different from the creatures you read about in fairy tales. Also it was funny at times as well. The centaur named Foaly had a pretty good sense of humor at most times. It also had a lot of action in it as well.
There were, however, also a few things I did not like. One was people’s language at times, like that one commander who said, “Blow the door off its **** hinges.” There were a few other times people swore too. That was almost about the only thing I did not like about the book though.
In this book I did not really have a favorite part. I liked just about all of them. Altogether, it was a very good book.

Water for Elephants amazed me. It was not at all what I expected. I knew it was about a circus, and obviously for the title, an elephant was involved. What I was not prepared for however, was the cruelty it showed. And I don’t doubt for a minute, that even though this was fiction, that these atrocities didn’t happen in real circuses.

We are introduced to a death in the prologue. While it is fuzzy and hard to tell who’s who, we are witnesses to a scene that the narrator, Jacob, has viewed and never forgotten. Mayhem abounds as we discover that the menagerie of a circus is on the stampede.

We are then reintroduced to Jacob, many years later, as he is a resident at a nursing home. He is ninety three, or ninety one, he can’t keep it straight and a circus is in town and being set up within sight of the nursing home. This causes him to reminisce about his time spent with the Benzini Brothers circus.

As a runaway college student, after the death of his parents, he finds himself hopping a train that turns out to be part of the circus train. There, instead of being thrown off, he is taken in by an older man named Camel who secures him a job with the circus mucking stalls, which later turns into a position as the circus’s veterinarian.

He falls in love with Marlena, the wife of his schizophrenic boss August. While he keeps his love hidden, August, dangerous and unpredictable makes life tough for Jacob in the circus while in his better moments is a best friend to him.

He also makes the acquaintance of Walter, a dwarf clown whom he bunks with and together they help Camel in his time of need. He also makes an unlikely friend in Rosie, an elephant picked up from another failing circus whom he feels a bond with and devastation at her treatment from the cruel August.

Throughout the book it cuts back and forth from Jacob at the nursing home, to his reminisces of the circus and its happenings. One of the ending chapters recaps the prologue, only with more detail.

I saved a few bucks by ordering the Windows software through Amazon and loading it on my new laptop myself rather than paying for it when the manufacturer built the machine. It was easy to do and took no time.

You will love this book! It is breath taking and it will be like watching a movie from the details Eoin Colfer gives. After every chapter comes a cliff hanger and after every page you read comes a feeling like the book is telling you to read on.

Since acquiring my Kindle, I’ve started playing a new game. I download “samples” of all kinds of books. If I can get hooked in the first few chapters, well clearly the author deserves the book sale.

That is exactly what happened with Water for Elephants. Almost immediately I was completely drawn into the story. Ms. Gruen uses an effective framing device for her tale. Nonagenarian Jacob Jankowski is telling his story in flashbacks from his present in a nursing home. And it is the story of his first job out of veterinary school. The year is 1931 and the country is embroiled in the Depression. Tragedy sends Jacob fleeing his orderly life. Without trying to, the young man winds up running away to the circus.

Water for Elephants is a coming of age novel, a buddy tale, a period drama, and a love story. It’s one of those rare novels that seems to captivate almost all readers. I came late to it, but I was as entranced as all those who have raved before me. Gruen’s prose is strong, but it’s her characters and setting that capture the imagination. I haven’t been to a circus in decades, and have no particular interest in that life. But Sara Gruen is a fantastically gifted storyteller, in the most elemental sense of the word. I will be grabbing future novels upon publication. Highly recommended to all who crave a great story!
