The Moon Was My Witness (E-book) review

This story provided by Abraham Levy (author) set around the Holocaust. This book is listed as a biography of that time and it is not the easiest read. It is very descriptive of the struggles of this man through persecution in a very dark time of our history. This book provides a very emotional roller coaster that will take you from sad, sickened, happy, and even elated. This incredible story had to have been terribly difficult to tell and share with us. I am usually not a big fan of biography stories because most of them are dry, boring, and drab. Which is not the case with this biography.


A short description of the story.  This is about a young polish boy during the Holocaust times of our dark era. Where his blue eyes kept him from being prosecuted as a Jew. It tells of his trial and tribulations of dealing with his family being murdered. It also tells of what his travels were about as he was making his way back to Isreal. The title of the book comes in play when a young Jewish boy sabotaged the S.S. Commanders motorcycle while working in the motor pool. What this is was a fluke accident that the commander almost killed him for it. The young boy was cleaning the motorcycle and the carb was filled with water. The Commander took it out on a very cold day and froze up on him. Okay, enough with the story line of this book, I do not want to write a spoiler.


If biography and/or history is one of you main genre of reading, I do suggest this book then. This book is available in e-book and paperback both. I would like to thank EbookPro and affiliates for providing me this book to read and leave my opinion.

Smart Weigh High Precision Digital Milligram Scale Review

(above) packaging


I was sent this scale to try out by Smart Weigh. This scale is GEM20(model) for measuring very fine materials. It comes in a very nice box to keep it in. The box has pre-fit areas for each piece sent. It has a felt covering inside the box to keep from scratching or destroying the scale. The scale has a lid to cover it when not in use if it is not kept in the box. It has its own tray and two, ten gram weights to zero the scale out. It has a nice back lit LCD screen that makes it extremely easy to read. This also came with a set of needle nose tweezers as well.


Now this is okay for most people because it can be used in many functions other then weighing metals and gems. For instance weighing letters to make sure you have the proper postage. For professionals this scale is not accurate enough to measure the milligram. I did a small test with 5 items. Each item I weighed 5 times each to make sure that it was reading each of them accurately and the same. Then I added them all to the unit at one time and the scale was off a bit on the weight of all 5 combined. It was accurate to the 1/100th place on the scale though, so back to my point that this is great for the everyday person. Next thing, make sure you read the instructions! there is a ton of useful information. Like having the scale on a surface free of vibrations because that can cause the scale to read inaccurate.


If you are in the market for a very useful weigh station this is a good product to check out. I would like to think Smart Weigh and affiliates for sending me this scale to test and leave my opinion.

MeasuPro Instant Read Waterproof IPX7 Thermometer Review

I was sent TF5000(model) to test out. So we will start out with the stats of the thermometer. It is made of hard plastic and seems like it is extremely durable. On the panel there is a LCD screen for the read out with large numbers.  There are 6 buttons on the control panel.  These buttons are very clear and easy to use functions. It has the IPX7 rating for being water proof.  I had to look what that meant up! "Puddle, stream, beer cooler and splash rated - Protected against water immersion - Immersion for 30 minutes at a depth of 1 meter." It is rated to handle temperatures from -58 to 572 degrees F. plus or minus 2 degrees. That means this thing is remarkable accurate on temperature readings. It comes with a protective sleeve for the probe that has a pocket clip.


My experience with this has been great with very little dislike. To start off this thing makes taking temperatures very easy. Insert the probe and it will display the temperature for about 5 seconds. Next thing it is super simple to change from C/F with the push of one button. The LCD screen has a nice large read out display on the temperatures. For the working purposes of this unit it is a great addition to making sure food is prepared at sufficient temperatures. This unit is also dishwasher safe.


There is not much to dislike about this unit. I do have some small issues that do not impede the use of this though. They are, the LCD screen does not have a backlight so if you are out at the BBQ grill after dark it can make it more difficult to get the temps. The other small thing I seen I did not like about it was the pocket clip on the probe protector. It is the only part of the probe that is not made with the very durable plastic the rest is made with. It seems like it will be easy to break.


If you are in the market for a quick easy to use thermometer, then the TF5000 from MeasuPro is a good product to start with. I would like to thank MeasuPro and affiliates for sending me the TF5000 thermometer to try out and leave my opinion.

MouseStruck (E-book) review

This is a short story from author Ita Stein Gvirtzman. It is less the 100 pages in length on my reader. This story does provide a very good plot, and is well written. The story itself was slow at points, and I found myself drifting from it in a couple of areas. Currently this story is available in e-book and paperback. I did enjoy the story and I would like to say thanks to Ebookpro and affiliates for sending me this book to read and leave my opinion.


Now for the story line briefly. This is about a woman working in a lab doing research on animals. She becomes ill and then realizes the torture she has been applying to her test subjects during her own treatments. She then becomes an activist for animal rights testing. Her main focus for her activities were mice, rats, and rabbits.


If books that offer memoirs or biographies this is a short story to check out. Now if you are an animal activist, this is a must read for sure.

Waves of Romance (E-book) Review

This is the second book of the series offered by Lori Ann Mitchell. The first book was Waves of Love in this series. The book was fairly well constructed with a decent plot line. It has been categorized as a Contemporary Romance story, but to me it was much more of a drama then anything. This story line is starting to look like to me, that it is following the life of Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore with a change in professions and some added twists. This short story is under 200 pages on my reader. The book is only available in reader format at this time.


I look forward to book three "Waves Of Passion". I am interested to see if it is going to finally make or break the relationship. Over all this series of books so far has been a decent read. It is definitely for those that like love stories or dramas. If that is your preferred genre of reads. Then this is a good series to get familiar with. I would like to thank Ebookpro and all the affiliates responsible for sending me this book to read and leave my opinion.
