I bought this lens with my Nikon D80 and used it a great deal of the time. Partnered with a warming filter, this lens took nice pictures. It was a workhorse for me until I started doing outside shots at football games. This its slow AF became an issue and I upgraded to the Tamrom AF 70-300 Di model. I also took some close up shots with this lens, but I had to get quite a ways back. This is a good starter zoom, but will show its shortcomings pretty soon.

The book is already bad enough (not going to comment on that further) but the reader Illyana Kudushin’s voice acting did not make the book any better. She was a bad voice actor and put on a poor performance. The book is long-winded enough already and the audio book will make these flaws seem more obvious because the Illyana enunciates every word ever so slowly. She puts intonations and pauses in all the wrong places, pronounces some words funnily, and over all narrates the book (Bella’s voice) with an annoying tone of an immature angsty teen (imagine the tone of voice you would use to imitate a bratty teenage girl). Edward Cullen was suppose to have a sexy melodic voice, but since the reader does a crappy job and probably can’t deepen her voice, his dialog just ends up sounding ridiculous. The book was already tedious and unnecessarily verbose with Meyer’s excessive and ineffective use of “descriptive action words” and dictionary word. That with the bad voice acting made me want to cut off my ears by chapter three and punt a kitten (I like kittens but I was so frustrated). I wasn’t reading the book, so I couldn’t throw anything across the room (not my MP3 player!).
I highly suggest you either don’t read the books at all, but if you want to find out first hand just how bad the series is, at least don’t listen to the audio book. You’ll want to jump off a cliff after an hour of it.
