Be Sweet: A Conditional Love Story"My mother loved me to pieces, as she often said," writes Roy Blount Jr., "and I'm still trying to pick up the pieces." In the book his readers have been waiting for, our generation's master of full hearted humor lays open the soul of his life story.

"My mother loved me to pieces, as she often said," writes Roy Blount Jr., "and I'm still trying to pick up the pieces." In the book his readers have been waiting for, our generation's master of full-hearted humor lays open the soul of his life story. Blount--Georgia boy, New York wit, lover of baseball and interesting women, bumbling adventurer, salty-limerick virtuoso, and impassioned father--journeys into his past, and his psyche (and also to China, Manhattan, and sixty feet underwater) in search of the answers to three riddles that have haunted his life: one, the riddle of "the family curse"; two, the riddle of what drives him, or anyone, to be funny; and three, the riddle of what so cruelly tangled his bond to the beguiling orphan girl who became the impossible mother who raised him to Be Sweet. Sardonic and sentimental, hilarious and grieving, brazen and bashful, tough and tender, honest and wayward, Be Sweet resonates with the complex but bouncy chords of a whole man singing, clinkers and all.Binding Type: Paperback

Works well, a little under powered
Size: 9 inches
Works well, a little under powered when I used it for the first time. Once you get the groove established it works great to maintain it

It’s junk
Size: 9 inches
Deserves a zero. Like some others said on here, it runs for 3 seconds and just stops with battery fully charged. I got it for Christmas so too late to return. More China junk.

Great price, does a good job
Size: 9 inches
I’m mostly old. School when it comes to yard equipment. A gas engine has got to be better than a battery .
I have a weed eater that will take out a tree but makes a lousy edger.
Since I don’t have a large lawn, I gave this guy a try.
Turns out it does a pretty good job.
Can’t beat the price and it’s simple to use.
Be aware, this vendor sells the unit only.
They have no spare parts and you will need to source replacement blades. ( they supply 1 spare). Otherwise, worth a try.

Not too bad for the price
Size: 9 inches
I was skeptical if an edger as cheap as this one would do the job at all. I figured if it worked at all it might be worth the price. I was surprised be it is actually pretty good. I have a medium sized area. Just one driveway and about 30 feet of sidewalk. I will use it four or five times a summer and I expect it will last for a few years. It hold a charge enough for my needs. If you have a large driveway or plan on using it every day, you will probably be disappointed. But if you have a small area to do, its not bad.
