At birth, Peter Huang is given the Chinese name Juan Chaun, "powerful king." To his parents, newly settled in small-town Ontario, he is the exalted only son in a sea of daughters, the one who will finally fulfill his immigrant father's dreams of Western masculinity. Peter and his sisters grow up in an airless house of order and obligation, though secrets and half-truths simmer beneath the surface. At the first opportunity, each of the girls lights out on her own. But for Peter, escape is not as simple as fleeing his parents' home. Though his father crowned him "powerful king," Peter knows otherwise. He knows he is really a girl. With the help of his far-flung sisters and the sympathetic souls he finds along the way, Peter inches ever closer to his own life, his own skin, in this darkly funny, emotionally acute, stunningly powerful debut. "Sensitively wrought . . . For Today I Am a Boy is as much about the construction of self as the consequences of its unwitting destruction--and what happens when its acceptance seems as foreign as another country." --New York Times Book Review "Subtle and controlled, with flashes of humor and warmth." --Slate "Keeps you reading. Told in snatches of memory that hurt so much they have the ring of truth." --Bust magazine

Sleek and mostly simple assembly and use
Size: 7.5 Inches - 2 Packs
I put the parts through the wash to sterilize them before using them. I think this introduced moisture into the grinding unit, which initially affected the grinding so that both the pepper and salt were coming out 'chunky'. I disassembled them and let them thoroughly dry. They are working great now after using them a few times.

A Perfect Gift For Someone Who is Tough To Buy For
Size: 5.3 Inches - 2 Packs with Holder
Very attractive looks and quality build. Most importantly the salt grinder will take sea salt down to powder for popcorn (a make-or-break feature in my house). It doesn't take up much room in the cabinet when stored and very easy to fill. We're just delighted with the value for the money. Any time you are stuck with what to get someone for a birthday, xmas, what ever; you can't go wrong with this Salt & Pepper Grinder Set.

It works but it's not high quality
Size: 5.3 Inches - 1 Pack
Grinder works well except the silver part came loose after using it a couple of times now we have to hold the top part really tight to use it probably should have returned it but it still works

Good Salt Grinder
Size: 5.3 Inches - 1 Pack
Bought this for the pink salt. It crushes it nicely and is easy to fill. The crushing didn't change the taste and this holds a considerable amount of sale. It's a great value for the money and would make a terrific gift.
