An insightful high school English teacher introduced me to Salinger’s “Catcher in the Rye.” It was a book report assignment not only to capsulize the story but also to address my personal experience reading it. At that time – as I recall – I found Catcher daring and quite revolutionary in Holden’s exploits and language. Rebellion in those days was often repressed and silent. Holden broke that mold and for the first time I met a literary character with whom I could empathize. He represented freedom to express and the guts to criticize.

Now, fifty years later – motivated by Sallinger’s death – I reread “Catcher in the Rye.” A very different experience, indeed! By today’s standards and my own personal evolution, Holden emerges as a complaining, negative and whining fellow. You want to take him by the shoulders and shake before dragging him to the nearest mirror for a hard look. Still, the book is a classic – a product of its time – and offers new perspectives in the revisit. It works on many levels and is a must read for youngsters of today who are bound to appreciate the differences, and for seniors who take pleasure in recalling the rather stilted days of their youth.

I purchased this based on a glowing recommendation by Consumer Reports and the many good recommendations here on Amazon. For the first month, it possessed an extreme amount of suction and I felt very pleased with my purchase. However, after approximately one month it started losing suction power. I owned it for a little less than one year before it stopped working entirely. Yes, it is inexpensive but I would rather pay slightly more money and have a better-made vacuum that will last more than one year and will not blow dust out while I vacuum.
Pros: inexpensive, great suction power during the first month
Cons: cheaply-made, belt constantly broke, slightly noisy, could not vacuum bare floors, cord location was inconvenient and I always had to hold the cord while vacuuming, unable to vacuum under furniture, often blew out dust so the floor was never completely clean, attachment holders did not secure them and they constantly fell off while the vacuum was in use, when using attachments it did not pick up pet hair from furniture

Cyclists BEWARE.. I received my gmc denal road bike about a week and a half ago, the first day I received this bike the stock tubes blew out after about 20 minutes into riding, then the following day the kick stand on the bike snapped off

when GMC Road Bike was adjusted back up (not exagerating), and on top of these things the chain constantly slips and the brakes are horrible even when adjusted. And when riding one day the allen nut that hold the handle bars and the fork together loosened completely and almosty made me wreck.

I guess the saying is true “you get what you pay for”…I highly DO NOT recommend this bike to anyone, not even a begginer it is dangerous and a number of things go wrong with these bikes. So in conclusion I had to send this bike back after not even 2 weeks of riding it!? unbelievable.

Down with wal-mart bikes!
