The Lightkeeper's Ball
590126
I read 3 of Colleen Coble's books this week and this one was my favorite.  I would also say it was my favorite in the series.  I didn't care for The Lightkeeper's Bride too much.  I was poorly written and lacked a storyline that I found interesting.  You could skp that one and read this one without any problems.  I liked the storyline here, plus the historical aspect of the very affluent during that era.  The characters were likeable and I enjoyed reading about early flights in America.

This is a great nighttime ball, and gives us back the flexibility of playing with the dog in the evenings when the days are very short. I had used (and liked) the glow in the dark chuck-it ball for a couple years, and it has held up very well, but needs to be recharged every several throws. My dog has a limited attention span, so occasionally this presented problems.

This LED ball is great. I wondered if having a battery and light inside would create imbalance, but it doesn't. The weight is heavier than the chuck-it ball or a tennis ball, but no heavier than a baseball. The material is tough and rubbery, with a nice matte finish that makes it easy to grip even when slobbery. I've thrown it about 100 times at this point, and it has held up perfectly. My dog is a chewer, and was accidentally left to gnaw on this for a good half hour, but it looks good as new (I wouldn't recommend trying that, though, and I won't be making that mistake again). It's also significantly brighter than the glow ball, so it would be better in snow.

For a $9 ball, I am expecting it to hold up quite awhile, and it seems like it will. I'll update if needed; if you don't see any changes to the review, it's still kicking.

Update 3/21/12 - down to 3 stars. It only works intermittently now. The impact against the ground turns it off about every other time. This is a problem, since if my dog hasn't found it and started tracking it pretty soon after it turns off, we have to go searching for it in the dark. I would not buy this again once it conks out - I'll go back to the old glow ball and charge it with a black light.

I received a yellow glass sphere.

It's worth $1.99 IMHO.  It might make a good fire starter as it burnt a hole in outdoor patio furniture as I had left it there while contemplating what to do with the stupid thing.  It focuses light well.

Great little light up ball.  Light only comes on when thrown.  Light will flicker for a bit when it lands on the ground so you can still see it for a while if you happen to miss it.  Takes a bit to get used to throwing a spiral with it.  Seems durable, weather proof, but if you get hit in the face with it, it will hurt.

This game is very well made, and easy to use. The back-light makes it easy to see in dim light. This one is a treasure.

The Light Keeper's Ball, a story by Colleen Coble makes me say, more please!  This book explores the a young woman living in the early years of the century, as one who is asking questions of her sister and father's deaths and wanting answers.  We see glimpses of flight before it was more than another means of travel, of a time when grand balls, character and manners were still a way of life.  A time when a woman tried to protect her virtue and class and status meant something.  But this was more than just a story down history lane.  It was a mystery that when everything was said and done, totally surprised me!  It was pretty suspenseful from the get go.  To be in that era and see how society handled certain matters made me sit up and take notice of how I handle things.  I immensely enjoyed this book and can't wait to read others by Ms. Coble.  I give it two thumbs up and hope that  you will also choose it.  I plan to give my to a friend to read.  I recommend The Light Keeper's Ball to anyone who would like to read a good era piece.

I love my new color changing gazing ball!! I hung it from the edge of my guttering on my house just outside the window of the room that I watch TV at night. That way I don't miss any of its dazzling colors!! I was worried about the wind tossing it about but because it isn't solid the air just goes right through it without much movement!!

I like the size of this lawn item but the inside light bulb is tiny so it doesn't illuminate the whole red ball.

This is a unique fixture casting a nice down light. It is very light weight.

Nice ball great price, needs extra light if possible, but the one that comes with it will work for small to mid size rooms.

Plays like any ball in your bag, but better! This lights up and glows...the insurance policy in my bag. Allows me to be first one out and finish my rounds.  Seeing this ball fly is fantastic. Highly recommend these balls!

We have this on the east side of our house so the luminous is over before it's dark enough to observe, but don't care.  I do wish it was taller however. Love to see it spinning.

Light wood balls are hard to move.  Suggest getting a game with marbles instead.  Our game was also missing one yellow ball.

This is a great light case. I love how it can hold the device while I read.  Thanks so much.

I love this decorative outdoor hanging ball. It is very large and easy to see. The colors are very bright and I love that they change. I have it hanging near my deck so we can see it at night. It stays lit from sundown to sunrise. During the day it looks sparkly when the sun hits it.

This is a great item that my dog totally loves.  The light up ball works great and allows us to play at night which is fun.  I would buy again!
