Sean Griswold’s Head by Lindsey Leavitt Book Review

Posted on by Posted in Books .

Sean Griswold's Head by Lindsey Leavitt Book ReviewOkay find a focus object to help me deal with my dad. What should I choose? Maybe the giant head of Sean Griswold? I mean it is in front of me for every class. That is how Payton decides to deal with her Dad’s diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis.

If you are one of the few people who do know what Multiple Sclerosis or MS is then I think you might have a better connection to the story. I had never read a book where one of the characters had it but as soon as I found out it was a part of this book I picked it up almost immediately. My mom has MS so I thought it would be cool to see how Payton’s story is painted by Lindsey Leavitt. The main premise of the story is that Payton finds out her dad is diagnosed with MS and her going to see the school counselor. When she gets there the counselor suggests a focus object and as Payton starts looking for one and decides for it to be Sean Griswold’s head. She ends up wanting to know more about the contents of the head and person that is connected to the head.

I really enjoyed this book. I would recommend it. It had a nice feel to it and it felt real. The author didn’t sugar coat the hard times and it still had the problems that you face in normal life along with the added stress of your parent having a disease. Lindsey Leavitt described MS quite well for the complexities of the disease itself. The characters had growth and development but at a gradual pace that made it realistic. I gave it 5/5 stars

Common, but Rare: Zumreed

When it comes to music devices nowadays, they can be personalized and customized in many ways. Music devices are available in different colors, styles, and memory programming. iTunes can recognize anybody’s musical tastes and suggest tunes based on what is purchased and downloaded. Then there’s an endless supply of musical accessories available almost everywhere you go.

Speakers, earbuds, and headphones can be found in any color under the sun. Some can be found with unique artwork or brand logos stamped on them. Products from Zumreed are just more musical device accessories in that sea of endless choices. One of the more unique things about these products is that the company is based out of Japan. Product browsing is available online at Zumreed.net, but you cannot purchase anything directly off the internet if you’re not in Japan. Another difference about Zumreed compared to others is that they carry more products. Zumreed is the first I’ve seen to carry all three- speakers, earbuds, and headphones. In addition, other Zumreed “musicgoods” include iPhone stands and carrying cases, phone plug adapters for earpieces or speakers, and cord wraps.

Though Zumreed accessories are like every other audible attachment out there, they’re a rare brand. As mentioned earlier, online purchasing is unavailable in America. Many Urban Outfitter retailers carry Zumreed products, but some states have other carriers. Highlight the “Where to Buy” box on the website to find a Zumreed carrier near you.
