Waste of time. This book is fine for what it was intended for: young TEEN girls, but even then I’d rather not have them read it. The relationship between Edward and Bella is nothing but unhealthy. He not only stalks the girl while she is sleeping (can we say creepy?), but he is demeaning to her at nearly every turn.

With that aside, just the book itself is droll enough to make me loose brain cells. The characters are one dimensional at best with no personality. The only reason the plot progresses at all is because of Bella’s clumsiness, which was probably only given to her so the author could move the book along. I mean, none of the characters have enough personality to fill a paper bag much less help create an actually decent plot. The only one that had something of a personality would be Alice Cullen, and even that is barely a spark.

Besides the incredibly flat characters, the book too unbelievable for words. First off, Edward and Bella barely know each other and yet are head over heels, will die for him/her LOVE. Not just interested or really like each other, but LOVE. Now, I can see Bella having some sort of infatuation with Edward, seeing as how he saved her life multiple times and all. I do not see her being in LOVE though. Maybe mistaking it, but not I’ll kill myself type. As for Edward, no way. Just no. I mean, what would a 100+ year old vampire want with a 16 year old girl besides a nice meal? Also, the way he is portrayed, he seems like a high school brat to me, not a centuries old vampire. Now, it’s one thing when he is pretending around others, but even when it doesn’t have to, it still acts like an immature dolt. Oh, who sparkles…

Speaking of unbelievable things, why, WHY would a vampire ever return to high school over and over again? He could easily pass as a young looking 21 year old. I mean, eternal life and you want to spend it in high school forever? Surrounded by immature beings for all eternity? No thanks. Hell would probably be more pleasur

Love the silicone products for my caphlon cookware – it keeps the coating scratch free and we don’t use ANYTHING else but silicone on those pans!

We were required to read this drek in high school. It made me sick then, and it makes me sick now, 45 years later, that so many morons could act like lemmings in calling this tripe a masterpiece. If it is a coming of age story, it is about humanity itself coming to an age of self-loathing and self-pity; constantly the victim. Never responsible for their own shortcomings in failure to appreciate the privelege of existance. As I said; a first class moping piece of crap. Teachers should be fired for even suggesting an adolescent child or teen read it.

Well, I finally broke down and realized that our cheap little Shark + Dustbuster wasn’t going to cut it, so I called my friend who is crazy about vacuuming and asked her to recommend an inexpensive model. She checked her old issues of Consumer Reports and gave me some options, both with a bag and bagless. In the past, I’d used a bagless vacuum but found emptying the chamber just produced another mess of dust and dirt to clean up, so I decided to go with this Hoover. I’ve had this vacuum for about a month and so far, no problems. I’ve used it on carpet and hardwood floors with success. Like any upright, it is slightly awkward to vacuum stairs but it wasn’t unmanageable and it worked well.

I bought it from Amazon because it was the best price I could find. Although the email from Amazon said that it would not ship for over a week, I actually received it in less than 3 days. A great surprise.

It’s one of those rare books that is impossible to put down but after it’s over, you feel like you learned a lot.

I’m going to give away as little as possible about the storyline because I don’t want to ruin anything, so I’ll just give you a little background information. It is about the traveling circus back in the Great Depression Era and offers you a glimpse of a fantasy life that you’d never imagine on your own. She did tons and tons of research on circuses back then so everything is extremely realistic and she covers topics that have always interested me (like prohibition, speakeasies, and the intelligence of animals). To make the book even more relevant to readers today, she weaves the past in with the present to create a masterful story that you’ll remember for years to come.

A lot of times, after I finish reading a book I’ll forget how it ended in just a few months… not in this case though, the ending gave me goosebumps and I’ll always remember it vividly.
