The first ten lies they tell you in high school.
Speak up for yourself--we want to know what you have to say. From the first moment of her freshman year at Merryweather High, Melinda knows this is a big fat lie, part of the nonsense of high school. She is friendless, outcast, because she busted an end-of-summer party by calling the cops, so now nobody will talk to her, let alone listen to her. As time passes, she becomes increasingly isolated and practically stops talking altogether. Only her art class offers any solace, and it is through her work on an art project that she is finally able to face what really happened at that terrible party: she was raped by an upperclassman, a guy who still attends Merryweather and is still a threat to her. Her healing process has just begun when she has another violent encounter with him. But this time Melinda fights back, refuses to be silent, and thereby achieves a measure of vindication. In Laurie Halse Anderson's powerful novel, an utterly believable heroine with a bitterly ironic voice delivers a blow to the hypocritical world of high school. She speaks for many a disenfranchised teenager while demonstrating the importance of speaking up for oneself. Speak was a 1999 National Book Award Finalist for Young People's Literature.Binding Type: Hardcover

Great Cargo Net for the Price! 👍
This item is nice and appears to be high quality compared to others that cost way more. So for $15 you cannot ask for better. Now how it holds up over time is another story. My last one was so dry rotted and it stayed stored inside the pocket of my door for several years. Regardless for only$15 if you get 1 year out of it you got your money's worth. Just purchase a new one. As far as seams, stitching and elasticity, it's very good. Carabiners are black coated what looks and feels like aluminum but cannot confirm. The quality as they open and close feel solid. Again time will tell. I would definitely recommend this net. The only negative is the bag it comes in is garbage and cheaply made. It's like dollar general plastic toiletries bag.

Very handy in many situations.
This is a very useful gadget. It is very stretchy, adjustable with extra straps, easy to store in it‘s own bag and a pretty good weight. We used it to transport a mattress, hay bales, a large stack of cardboard boxes and a desk. The hooks are strong but easy to open, it did not tangle for us at all.

Cheap and tough
I got this for a trailer not a truck and it works perfectly for dump runs instead of using a tarp and bungies. Comes in a little bag I'll never use again and had some accessories i don't understand, but if you want a springy net for something that's cheap enough not to care about breaking this is your product
