Acer Aspire Timeline AS5810TZ-4274 15.6-Inch Laptop - 8+ Hours Battery Life

2009-12-08T21:45:00.000-08:00

Acer AS5810TZ-4274 Notebook comes with these specs: Intel Pentium Processor SU2700, Windows Vista Home Premium with Service Pack 1, 15.6" HD Acer CineCrystal LED-backlit Display, Mobile Intel GS45 Express Chipset, 3072MB DDR3 1066MHz Memory, Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD, 320 GB SATA Hard Drive, 8X DVD-Super Multi Double-Layer Drive, Acer Crystal Eye Webcam, 5-in-1 Digital Media Card Reader, 2nd Generation Dolby Sound Room Audio Enhancement, 802.11b/g/Draft-N Wi-Fi CERTIFIED, 4 - USB 2.0 Ports, 1 - HDMI Port, Convenience Buttons- Multi-gesture Touchpad, Acer PowerSmart Technology, Acer Backup Manager, Touchpad-lock, 6-cell Li-ion Battery (5600 mAh), 8+ hours battery life, 5.3 lbs. | 2.4 kg (system unit only), Wireless Setup Card, Registration/ Limited Warranty Card, McAfee Internet Security Suite (60-day insert)

I have used several laptops (work and personal), including the hyped ThinkPad T61, T500, T400.
But the Acer Timline series laptops have really surprised me in terms of build quality, price, form factor, and battery life.
If these are the things you care most, the Timeline is for you!
My T400 never got passed 4hrs at the lowest CPU setting and LCD brightness. The Timeline consistently gives me over 5hrs (not the 8hrs+ as they claimed though) using Windows XP.
Windows XP installation (over the default Vista Premium) was a straightforward task, as Acer website provides XP drivers so you don't have to search anywhere. I tried both the 15.6" and the 14" version and personally I'd like the 14" for its screen size, though both share the same 1" thin dimension and similar battery life. The 15.6" keyboard comes with a numeric keypad.
For those people who complained about CPU spiked at 100% at random or eject button locked up the laptop, I had the same problems. After I updated it with the latest Intel graphics driver and Acer BIOS, all the problems went away!
I am usually picky about what I use, but I have to give Acer a thumb up for such a great job. After all, it only costs $549!
Can't say the same for Lenovo ThinkPad which costs more, thicker (>1.2"), and only average battery life.
What's the point of having wireless internet if you must plug in your power regularly? With the Timeline, I can truly roam most of my day without fear of running out of power.
My only complain about the 14" version: if the mouse pad could move to the left about 1", that would be perfect. As I type, my right palm occasionally touches the mouse pad that causes the mouse cursor to move. If Acer did this on the 15.6" version, why not on the 14"?

Samsung LN46A860 Fantastic TV-great customer support

2009-12-02T03:56:00.000-08:00

This is the best TV I have ever owned and if you are in the market for a 46" LCD, Amazon has a great price. I purchased mine back in October for $700 more than the current price - sometimes it pays to wait I guess. Sound, picture, features are all fantastic. After checking many review sites I went with this unit and am glad I did. The touch of color (TOC) is subtle but shows just enough to add a nice aesthetic look.

I rated this TV five stars although I did have a minor issue detailed below. Samsung took care of the issue and the overall TV has continued to please. The only negative, which I have to preface is known by Samsung and they take care of promptly is a rare "chipping" issue with the TOC frame setup on some of the 750s and 850/860s due to a few bad shipments (happened to mine). However, Samsung promptly fixed this free of charge with no known reoccurrence (as per the repairman that has done several of these repairs). Samsung's customer service, at least on LCD TVs, is outstanding with both email and phone call followups to insure that the customer is satisfied with the repair work. The repairman assigned by Samsung came out, replaced the entire TOC frame on the TV and I haven't had any other issues. As stated above, the actual electronics/LCD elements of this TV itself are fantastic and with Samsung readily and promptly fixing the frame issue, I still have to say that this was a great purchase.

The Super Bowl never looked better and the 120hz performed beautifully. Our friends couldn't get over the picture they were watching as the Steelers one upped the hapless Cardinals in fantastic receiving catches.

BlackBerry Bold 9000 Phone, Black (AT&T)

2009-08-28T19:45:00.000-07:00

The FlagShip has launched!
I just upgraded from an Curve 8310 to the Bold. In fact, this is my 3rd BlackBerry, starting way back with the 8700. First thing to point out . . . the Bold is BIG. It's actually much larger than the 8310. In fact, it's really closer to the 8800-series in size. This isn't really a bad thing though. It feels comfortable in hand. The back appears to me made of real leather, although it's probably synthetic. I like the back because it adds some much-needed grip all while looking very classy. The keyboard is also very easy to use. There was very little learning curve needed going from the 8310 to the Bold.

What really makes the Bold "beautiful" is the HUGE screen. I thought the screen on my previous Curve was great. The screen on the Bold is twice the resolution (480x320 vs. 320x240). It is absolutely amazing. Not only is it stunning for movies and photos, it makes browsing the web and simply reading emails so much easier. You can fit significantly more information on the screen. The same auto-backlighting feature found on the Curve is also on the Bold. It senses the lighting conditions of the room and adjusts backlighting. I love this feature.

Much improved over the Curve is the multimedia software. Playing movies, viewing photos and listening to songs are very easy to do. The functionality rivals standalone media players. This application coupled with a big screen and a large MicroSD card, makes this a viable iPod Classic replacement. Like the 8310, the Bold also features a 3.5mm Stereo/Audio Jack built-in. This means no adapter is needed to use your own high quality headphones or earbuds.

Also like the Curve, it includes real GPS. This is awesome and in my opinion the best feature showing up in modern phones. The signal is acquired quickly and it is very accurate. Google Maps and BlackBerry Maps work perfectly with the built-in GPS. You can also pay a monthly fee for turn-by turn navigation via AT&T Navigator.

The biggest improvements for the Bold were actually listed in my Curve 8310's review as "Cons". BlackBerry added the much needed 3G (The Bold is MUCH faster than the Curve), Wi-fi, Video recording capabilities and FINALLY the external memory is accessible without removing the battery; via a small door on the side. It's like BlackBerry was listening to the customer's needs, maybe they read my review. :)

They hit this one out of the park.

VGN-FW140E/H 16.4" Laptop from SONY

Sony VAIO VGN-FW140E/H 16.4" Laptop (2.26GHz Intel Core 2 Duo P8400 Processor, 3 GB RAM, 250 GB Hard Drive, Vista Premium) Grey

Broaden your entertainment horizons with the VAIO FW notebook featuring an extra-wide 16.4" XBRITE-ECO LCD display. Great for watching widescreen movies or viewing two websites side-by-side, this entertainment-rich notebook minimizes those annoying black bars you see when playing widescreen movies. Watch and record DVDs and get the most out of your games with an Intel Core 2 Duo processor. An entertainment powerhouse, the VAIO FW notebook is inspired by theater screens, born from SONY HD expertise and powered by the energy-efficient an super-powerful Centrino 2 processor technology – the latest and greatest from Intel.

Sony Vaio VGN-FW139E/H

I specified the model on the title as the reviews for all Sony FW laptops are shared amongst all models in Amazon. I consider this model to be a great purchase. Contrary to many modern laptops, it actually looks great, with very modern styling that is suitable for both home and business users. The screen has a different aspect ratio (16:9) than most computers, which is more suitable for watching DVDs or comparing side by side documents than the traditional 4:3. The 2.26 P8400 is the same processor found on most FW computers, even those costing hundreds of $ more, 3GBs of RAM, which is the maximum usable RAM in Vista SP1 32bit, 250GBs of RAM which is enough for most users,etc.

The graphic card on this machine is the ATI HD3470, with 256mb of dedicated memory. This card will handle your graphics a lot better than the integrated Intel cards found on some higher priced FW models here in Amazon and is one of the best features of this particular model. It is not a high end graphic card, but it can handle the necessities of most users, including those who use their laptops for casual gaming.

I found an inconsistency on Amazon's product description for this model. In the "network" section, it specifies that this model comes with Intel 4965 wifi chipset, which is not the case. It comes with Atheros wifi (N capable). This is not really a bad thing, you won't notice a performance difference, but the fact that it has the Atheros wifi chipset instead of the Intel one is the main reason why it can't be labeled as a "Centrino 2" laptop, even though it has all other required Intel technologies. The sticker on the laptop will say "Core 2 Duo" instead of "Centrino 2". Again, this is only a label. Performance-wise, it's plenty fast. It comes with some trial software that some users will prefer to uninstall (like me), but this is the case for almost all notebook manufacturers and it shouldn't take too long to do so. Overall, highly recommended.

Sandisk SDSDX3-008G-A31 8GB Extreme III SD Card

2009-07-06T09:55:00.000-07:00

Perfectly paired with my Nikon D90

Background you can skip

I purchased a new DSLR, an upgrade from my trusted Nikon D50: the D90.

I wanted to get the fastest and most suited 8GB card to accompany my shoots and needed something that would keep up with the Nikon's 30MB/s capability.

After wandering the web for the best card I found the following information: "the cards offer a 50 percent speed boost from 20MB/s cards, and the Nikon D90 is the industry's first dSLR to take advantage of the speed.

That means that with the 30MB/s Extreme III, the D90 can record 39 6MB JPEG images at 4.5 frames per second in continuous shooting mode. Getting them off is almost as fast, too, when used with SanDisk's new ImageMate Multi-Card USB 2.0 reader/writer."

Note that some reviewers on here gave the card a bad rating because of lack of speed. However, it is his own equipment that is the bottle neck so that is not the best of sources to judge on.

This card is fast fast fast in my D90 and I have since purchased a spare one.

In short:

PROS
- LEADING EDGE IN SPEED
- PERFECTLY COUPLED WITH NIKON D90

CONS

- EXPENSIVE

CONCLUSION:
For the serious prosumer this is a must have for your D90 or other capable camera.

Wall-E (Widescreen Single-Disc Edition) (2008)

2009-06-07T22:47:00.000-07:00

Pixar genius reigns in this funny romantic comedy, which stars a robot who says absolutely nothing for a full 25 minutes yet somehow completely transfixes and endears himself to the audience within the first few minutes of the film.

As the last robot left on earth, Wall-E (voiced by Ben Burtt) is one small robot--with a big, big heart--who holds the future of earth and mankind squarely in the palm of his metal hand. He's outlasted all the "Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-Class" robots that were assigned some 700 years ago to clean up the environmental mess that man made of earth while man vacationed aboard the luxury spaceship Axiom. Wall-E has dutifully gone about his job compacting trash, the extreme solitude broken only by his pet cockroach, but he's developed some oddly human habits and ideas. When the Axiom sends its regularly scheduled robotic EVE probe (Elissa Knight) to earth, Wall-E is instantly smitten and proceeds to try to impress EVE with his collection of human memorabilia. EVE's directive compels her to bring Wall-E's newly collected plant sprout to the captain of the Axiom and Wall-E follows in hot pursuit. Suddenly, the human world is turned upside down and the Captain (Jeff Garlin) joins forces with Wall-E and a cast of other misfit robots to lead the now lethargic people back home to earth. Wall-E is a great family film with the most impressive aspect being the depth of emotion conveyed by a simple robot--a machine typically considered devoid of emotion, but made so absolutely touching by the magic of Pixar animation. Also well-worth admiring are the sweeping views from space, the creative yet disturbing vision of what strange luxuries a future space vacation might offer, and the innovative use of trash in a future cityscape. Underneath the slapstick comedy and touching love story is a poignant message about the folly of human greed and its potential effects on earth and the entire human race. Wall-E is preceded in theaters by the comical short Presto in which a magician's rabbit, unfed one too many times takes his revenge against the egotistical magician.

High-definition television

2009-03-15T03:29:00.000-07:00

High-definition television (HDTV) is a digital television broadcasting system with higher resolution than traditional television systems (standard-definition TV, or SDTV). HDTV is digitally broadcast; the earliest implementations used analog broadcasting, but today digital television (DTV) signals are used, requiring less bandwidth due to digital video compression.

History of high-definition television

Further information: Analog high-definition television system
The term high definition once described a series of television systems originating from the late 1930s, starting with the British 240 line and 405 line black-and-white systems introduced in 1936, and including the American 525-line NTSC system established in 1941. However, these systems were only "high definition" when compared to earlier systems.

The British high definition TV service started trials in August 1936 and a regular service in November 1936 using both the Baird 240 line and Marconi-EMI 405 line systems. The Baird system was discontinued in February 1937.

A brief itemized history of early analog HD systems follows; these would be considered standard definition television systems today.

1936: System-A, UK: 405 lines @ 50 Hz, discontinued 1986
1938: Several countries used a 441 line system, France in 1956 being the last to discontinue it
1939: System-M, USA: 525 lines @ 60 Hz
1949: French (monochrome) 819 line @ 50 Hz system launched, discontinued 1983
1952-1956: European adoption of 625 lines @ 50 Hz with PAL and SECAM color coming in 1967

All used interlacing and a 4:3 aspect ratio except the 405 line system which started as 5:4 and later changed to 4:3.

The post–WWII French 819-line black-and-white system was high definition in the contemporary sense, but was discontinued in 1983, before the final British 405-line broadcast. Experimental 405 line color transmissions were made in the 1950s using a modified NTSC system.

Since the formal adoption of DVB's widescreen HDTV transmission modes in the early 2000s the 525-line NTSC (and PAL-M) systems as well as the European 625-line PAL and SECAM systems are now regarded as standard definition television systems. In Australia, the 625-line digital progressive system (with 576 active lines) is officially recognized as high definition.

Super Slim Pomegranate

I would have a big breakfast each morning before 9:00 a.m. and by noon I was hungry again. I love to eat watching late night T.V. Well..well, my son says to me the other day. "Mom, I can't see TV, why do you always have to block the T.V screen with your big behind". "I AM NOT BIG", I yelled back. I decided to take a look for myself in a fullview mirror. I was not happy. I needed to lose weight now! I did some research. I read that 90% users had no appetite and lost weight. I decided to try this product.

Apple MacBook MB466LL/A 13.3-Inch Laptop (2.0 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor, 2 GB RAM, 160 GB Hard Drive, Slot Loading SuperDrive)

2009-01-17T00:31:00.000-08:00

Instead of assembling a notebook from many minor parts, the MacBook was reinvented from just one: the solid-aluminum unibody enclosure. It gets full credit for making MacBook thinner, lighter, and even more stunning. But it's not all beauty. Because of the antibody, this MacBook is also durable. It was designed to take on your world. So slip it into your backpack or briefcase and pull it out wherever you go - it's impressive in any setting.The MacBook uses a graphics processor that economizes space in a whole new way. A traditional computer logic board contains multiple components: the CPU, two chips that control communication throughout the computer, and the graphics processor. The logic board in the MacBook contains only two components: The CPU and a graphics processor with all of the core logic built into a single chip.The beautifully seamless, remarkably thin design isn't the only gleaming quality of the LED-backlit display. Open your MacBook and you're instantly greeted by glorious full screen brightness. The aluminum enclosure is perfectly integrated with a glass overlay that stretches to the edge of the notebook, providing a completely unobstructed picture. Anything you view, including the glossy widescreen display itself, is a spectacular experience. The LED-backlit display is more power efficient. And it's mercury- and arsenic-free, so it's greener than ever.

Review from a PC user This past "black friday" I was tempted to upgrade my current laptop to something smaller. My HP 17" laptop was like a brick and I wanted something that did not weigh a lot. I originally was planning on spending half a grand on a cheap laptop. I guess I ended up spending much more! I first went with a Dell computer and liked it a lot. The price was great and it had the best specifications I could find for the money. Unfortunately I had to return it due to some minor issues. The problem I had with making the initial purchase at first was the price. It cost almost five hundred dollars more than a comparable PC with even better specs. The hard drive was also too small and only came with 2gb of ram. Since I absolutely need to run some Windows programs, i'd have to also purchase a licensed copy of Windows. To me, 160gb on such an expensive computer is just not acceptable. It seems that Apple always has put smaller hard drives in their computers. To be honest, until I opened and used my Macbook I felt really guilty for paying so much for a laptop. Generally I don't pay over a grand for a laptop and I build my own desktop computers based on what I need. After using the computer for awhile, my guilty conscience went away very fast. I won't lie about this. I loved this laptop from the start. When I first saw the picture of the new Macbook I thought it kind of looked ugly! In person it definitely is not. It's probably one of the best designed computers ever. First thing I did was upgrade to a new 500gb hard drive and 4gb of ram. Upgrading these is stupid easy. Anyone can do it. I'm so glad Apple has decided to make upgrading easier for people. My old ibook took over 2 hours and the removal of over 40 screws to upgrade the hard drive! This Macbook requires the removal of....ONE screw to access the hard drive. The price is the biggest negative. I feel it's worth paying extra for because of the build quality, but it's still too high. I think this laptop should be a hundred less. I'm not bothered by the lack of Firewire. I don't use firewire that much to really miss it that much. I do however wish it had some other high speed port such as eSATA. USB is just unbearably slow to me. I'm sick of Windows XP, so I decidn't run unless you run some DOS commands. When using this work-around every single device was working perfectly fine! My main computer is a PC desktop, but i'm liking this Macbook so much I might make the switch to Mac OS full time. I also installed Vmware Fusion and that really helps when theres a program I need to run that's only available on Windows. What's nice is that Vmware Fusion now supports Bootcamp partitions, so no need to reinstall or buy a second copy of Windows. The Macbook is pretty fast. No problems in this area. I'm surprised to be able to run Vista 64 in Vmware with no major problems. It's not fast, but works well. For me, upgrading to the 2.4ghz version was not needed. 2Ghz is more than enough for me. Three hundred for .4 ghz, backlit keyboard and a 250gb hard drive isn't worth it for me. For some it is, but it just depends on what you need. The display isn't the best, but in my opinion it's much better than most others. I actually have no negatives about the picture quality itself. You can view the display at an angle, but to a point. With my other laptop, you move the display an inch and it's hardly viewable. The glossy screen is of course annoying, but not big of a deal for me. At first I said that i'd never buy a Macbook because it had a terrible "chicklet" keyboard. Once I used it, it's perfectly fine. I should also point out that I absolutely HATE the wireless Apple Keyboard and find it unusable. Yet they're almost the same. Strange isn't it? This one is very good. Perhaps it's all due to a different typing angle. The trackpad is perfect. It's the best one i've ever used. I have not played any games with this yet, but I will soon. I'm sure it will play Half Life 2 and other games just fine. The shared video memory is kind of annoying, but it won't bother me much I think. I really don't know how much of a negative this is. The sound is somewhat tinny, but it's acceptable to me. My old HP 17" monster had great sound for a laptop, but that was a laptop made for gaming. For me, this is just about as perfect as it gets. It just needed eSATA, a bigger hard drive and a lowered price. One hundred less and it'd be a pretty fair price. I will try to update this review with notes if I come across any problems.

Canon Powershot SX10IS 10MP Digital Camera with 20x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Z

This camera puts you on the cutting edge of advanced technology, with an incredibly powerful 20x optical zoom, 10-megapixel resolution, and new DIGIC 4 Image Processor for high-performance face and motion detection.

Customer Reviews

Wowee...what a zoom! The last Canon camera I owned was a 35mm film Canon AE1 Program SLR. I didn't like it that much then even though there was nothing really wrong with it, it never really produced great pictures and that was the reason I didn't go for Canon all these years. Recently I really want a camera with a big zoom but didn't feel like investing in a costly DSLR, especially with a big expensive zoom lens so I looked around. Reviews tend to favor the Canon SX10 IS (I prefer Nikon and Sony for digital cameras) so I bought this one via Amazon.com. Amazon really came through for me. I got it quickly and in perfect condition...how can you beat free shipping?
Since I bought this mostly for the zoom capability, I'm going to focus on that. Reviews tell me to expect distortions at 20X zoom but so far I couldn't tell of any distortion in the pictures that I took. Perhaps the pros can tell but I'm no pro. I'm very happy with that. At 20X handheld, the image through the LCD or viewfinder wavers wildly since I shake like a wet dog but thanks to the superior image stabilization (I read the reviews on that) the shot image is usually rock solid -- I managed to blur a couple in poor light.
I also shot videos at various zoom and again, with image stabilization, I still can't get over how rock solid my videos look.
Having been a point and shoot person for a long time, I'm still getting over the shock of learning this sophisticated camera, with so many features...slowly I'm getting a hang of it.
What is weird about this camera (or perhaps with Canon?) is that it won't use the higher ISO settings while on AUTO. I think the highest it did was ISO 400 and it let me push it to ISO 800, even though the picture would be hopelessly underexposed. I quickly learned to switch to Program mode (P) so it's not a big deal.
One feature I think is very cool is the capability to do custom white balance and even cooler is it lets me program it to the Shortcut button. So with one button push I can calibrate the white balance to take indoor pictures, which normally would be totally reddish yellow, that look like they were outdoors, in correct colors.

So far I really like this camera. I didn't really like the fact that it uses 4 AA batteries. I had really bad experiences with a Sony digital camera that uses 2 AA. The batteries only last about 1 hour of power on. I used to have to carry 6 to 8 spare AA which was a total pain. For this camera, I got Duracell NiMH 2000 mAH rechargeable batteries that suppose to hold charge up to a year. So far, I had the camera on for 4 hours, taking all kinds of zoom images without signs of running out yet. I wish this camera would tell me how much battery power I have left. Apparently it will only tell me to change depleted batteries.

All of that I waited I have this wonderful camera only two weeks in my hand and I must to learn many of their functions, but until now the pictures and videos that it produces seems to me superb. I'm very happy with this purchase and also I'm sure that with practice, the results will be better.

Customer Reviews

Amazing sound and picture for the price I had wanted a new tv for a long time so I went to many stores and looked online for the best deal for the best picture. It was tough. Prices were sky high and the quality was poor. Finally, I found the toshiba 40inch and fell in love. I literally stood in circuit city for an hour staring at the tvs and comparing the quality of picture and sound. This beat out the samsung and sharps, and was cheaper too! Full HD 1080p, great sound, great sleek design, and at the time it was on sale too! Ive had this tv for about a month and have had no problems at all! I love it! It looks and sounds amazing with my xbox 360 and HD dvd player, and I have hooked up a bose 2.1 speaker system to it just because i wanted to. This tv is great for anyone who wants a full 1080p tv with great quality for a decent price.

Nice picture nice price This is my first hdtv. I have been looking for months and waiting for prices to drop. Could not wait any longer finely picked the 40RV52U. Why I chose this was plasmas in a bright lit room looked washed out. This was sitting right next to a Vizio 42" and was [...]more but the color and vivid image was so nice on this there was no other choice. Price [...] For a 40" 1080P LCD name brand. You can find cheaper so so brands but your only saving [...] bucks? Now image and quality both are very nice. Lots of color set up options change and save to your preferences. Screen size all kinds of options. FOOTBALL is smooth no weird things on screen no hick ups. Remote is nice big easy to use. Warranty is big I wanted to be sure if I had a problem I could get it fixed near by my house I called support and in 1min I was talking to a human with only one touch. Best of all the repair center is only 5 miles away. Again Nice! Now what will make this an awesome tv only time will tell. A bad tv last a year or two a good tv last 5 to 8 an awesome tv wil last 8 to 15 years. I have a 27 inch Sony that at least must be 10 years old and still looks great. It has only been two weeks, needs more time. Would I recommend to a friend to buy YES, but explain that this is not a super high end tv just a nice tv for a nice price.

Very Pleased! I've had this HDTV for about a month. I love it, especially in HD. Beautiful picture! Brightness is great, picture from TV and DVD's are just great!

Twilight (The Twilight Saga, Book 1) By Stephenie Meyer

2008-12-31T04:23:00.000-08:00

Twilight (The Twilight Saga, Book 1) By Stephenie Meyer

Product Description
"Softly he brushed my cheek, then held my face between his marble hands. ''Be very still,'' he whispered, as if I wasn''t already frozen. Slowly, never moving his eyes from mine, he leaned toward me. Then abruptly, but very gently, he rested his cold cheek against the hollow at the base of my throat. " As Shakespeare knew, love burns high when thwarted by obstacles. In Twilight, an exquisite fantasy by Stephenie Meyer, readers discover a pair of lovers who are supremely star-crossed. Bella adores beautiful Edward, and he returns her love. But Edward is having a hard time controlling the blood lust she arouses in him, because--he''s a vampire. At any moment, the intensity of their passion could drive him to kill her, and he agonizes over the danger. But, Bella would rather be dead than part from Edward, so she risks her life to stay near him, and the novel burns with the erotic tension of their dangerous and necessarily chaste relationship.Meyer has achieved quite a feat by making this scenario completely human and believable. She begins with a familiar YA premise (the new kid in school), and lulls us into thinking this will be just another realistic young adult novel. Bella has come to the small town of Forks on the gloomy Olympic Peninsula to be with her father. At school, she wonders about a group of five remarkably beautiful teens, who sit together in the cafeteria but never eat. As she grows to know, and then love, Edward, she learns their secret. They are all rescued vampires, part of a family headed by saintly Carlisle, who has inspired them to renounce human prey. For Edward''s sake they welcome Bella, but when a roving group of tracker vampires fixates on her, the family is drawn into a desperate pursuit to protect the fragile human in their midst. The precision and delicacy of Meyer''s writing lifts this wonderful novel beyond the limitations of the horror genre to a place among the best of YA fiction. (Ages 12 and up)
