Staring at the SunJean Serjeant, the heroine of Julian Barnes's wonderfully provocative novel, seems ordinary, but has an extraordinary disdain for wisdom. And as Barnes winner of the Man Booker Prize for The Sense of an Ending follows her from her childhood in the 1920s to her flight into the sun in the year 2021, he confronts readers with the fruits of her relentless curiosity: pilgrimages to China and the Grand Canyon; a catalogue of 1940s sexual euphemisms; and a

Jean Serjeant, the heroine of Julian Barnes's wonderfully provocative novel, seems ordinary, but has an extraordinary disdain for wisdom. And as Barnes--winner of the Man Booker Prize for The Sense of an Ending--follows her from her childhood in the 1920s to her flight into the sun in the year 2021, he confronts readers with the fruits of her relentless curiosity: pilgrimages to China and the Grand Canyon; a catalogue of 1940s sexual euphemisms; and a glimpse of technology in the twenty-first century (when The Absolute Truth can be universally accessed).

Elegant, funny and intellectually subversive, Staring at the Sun is Julian Barnes at his most dazzlingly original.

"Brilliant . . . a marvelous literary epiphany."--Carlos Fuentes, The New York Times Book Review

"Barnes's literary energy and daring are nearly unparalleled."--New Republic

Pretty good
Flavor Name: Fruit Punch, Size: 20 Fl Oz (Pack of 6)
I like these because they're reduced sugar . You still get your electrolytes and they have a good mixed fruit flavor. I been buying these alot lately I like the rain berry most. It's a good deal here on Amazon and it hydrates better than water alone . They have a few flavors to choose from in this line so there's def variety.

Love the Fruit Punch Flavor!
Flavor Name: Fruit Punch, Size: 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 12)
This fruit punch flavor diminished the overly sweet stevia taste. In addition to hydrating after activity, I use it as a low calorie sweet treat. I don't use artificial sweeteners. I drink still and sparkling water but I enjoy a sweet drink too.

Not to shabby
Flavor Name: Fruit Punch, Size: 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 12)
It’s OK the taste is better than G2 but worse than regular Gatorade. I wish they had more flavor variety, but I like that the sugar content is lower and you’re still getting all of the beneficial ingredients like the electrolytes. They are packaged well in nice bottles that don’t leak but are still easy to open overall I like them just wish they could find a way to make the flavor a little more potent so it doesn’t taste like regular Gatorade that’s been watered down.

Great taste without the sugar overload
Flavor Name: Fruit Punch, Size: 20 Fl Oz (Pack of 6)
picked up a pack of Gatorade’s lower sugar drinks and honestly wasn’t expecting much, but they surprised me. The flavor is still really good—doesn’t taste watered down like some “light” drinks do—and it’s not overly sweet, which I actually prefer. You still get that classic Gatorade taste and the electrolytes, just without all the sugar overload. It’s a solid option if you’re trying to cut back but still want something refreshing after work, workouts, or being outside. Overall, it hits a nice balance between taste and being a little healthier. Definitely something I’ll keep buying. Wish they had more flavors available
