My 12-year old daughter read this book a dozen times, so I finally read it. I get it. Meyer came up with a tanatalizng storyline, the modern-day damsel in distress and the indestructible knight that lives only to protect and love her. Edward Cullen is an interesting character and some of Meyer’s new twists on vampires I found interesting because they weren’t so campy; and then throw in the love triangle and you’ve got every high school drama queen’s wet dream. Meyer has some memorable lines and the book is mostly diaglouge and easy to read. So I get it; I understand why it’s a global phenomenon.
Not well-written, though. The narrative is filler, for the most part, rather than adding to the story. Most of the story is TOLD to the reader in conversation. Again, my daughter loved the endless dialogue (”It’s my turn to ask questions.” “No, it’s my turn.”) but I found it tiresome. Lastly, too many beats and no one “said” anything, they all “murmured, lied, repeated, or pointed out”.
Agents and publishers are in the game to make money, I get that. Meyer put together a billion-dollar story that adults and children could both read and enjoy. I applaude her for that. But she can be a better writer. Maybe if I read her later work, I’ll find out she did.

but probably better! I really knew almost nothing about these books other than it’s about a young criminal mastermind, basically he’s an all-around genius. The fact that the story contains fantasy creatures like fairies and centaurs was something by which I was unaware and pleasantly surprised.
The story starts cryptically with young Artemis and his bodyguard Butler searching for something of great value (for a host of reasons). Artemis’ plot to kidnap a fairy for the ransom gold unfolds and seems inplausible in our real world but just another day at the office for the boy. And one seemingly flaw in Artemis’ plan keeps you guessing, resulting in astonished glee at his genius.
The story sucks you in and is ejoyable to the core. The characters are believable and identifiable. I enjoyed this so much more than I would have imagined and I think you will too. (By the way, the audio versions are excellent; the narrarator really bring the characters to life.)

I loved this book! I learned a lot about the circus, mostly behind the scenes information that you don’t think about from the stands. I thought it was a delightful story and absolutely loved the ending!
Zebra Head Hot Pink
it was terrible on hardwood from day one, shoots dirt and dust all over (so make sure to wear shoes when using it if for some reason you want dirt spread all over rather than picked up). it worked great on carpet for a few months and then nothing. can’t figure out why, motor still runs, belts are fine (and I’ve replaced the bag frequently and have extra belts if needed), but everything just stays in the hose, if it picks it up at all. very frustrating. what a waste…now I’m stuck with belts and bags for a vacuum I certainly don’t want to repurchase as more than half my home is hard floors so I want one that will actually work on all my floors.
Hot Pink 7 Dessert
I love that it automatically keeps track of your last 7 readings! There is a little cap on the top that came off. I eventually lost it. I’m not sure what purpose it serves, but everything works fine. The belt clip is short and allows the pedometer to fall off; make sure you clip it on to your clothing. Minor problems, but I still recommend the product.

This brush is great – it gets out all kinds of hair you never knew your pet was about to shed! Also it’s very relaxing for my dog. My only complaint is that it can be a bit messy, so best to do all the brushing outside.
Coiled Power Hot Sync
I have had my Kindle for about 5 months now. And my initial crush is about over. I do still love it for the things that it can do – hold tons of books – go into my purse – slim and light – get new books quickly anytime and anywhere over the wireless. But you have already heard all this.
What I want to tell you about are some drawbacks. I have spent more money on books lately – and we know prices will most likely increase. Oh well, that’s life. Another issue for me – a bibliophile – is I do sometimes miss the feel of a book – of being able to flip through pages looking for a particular passage – of sneaking ahead a few chapters and then going back. It’s just not the same as holding a book.
But my biggest complaint – are you listening Amazon? – is I can’t share the wonderful book I just read with a friend! What a shame!
Coiled Power Hot Sync
This was purchased as a gift for my Grandsons birthday. He is seven and they all had the greatest time
learning to play the games. What treat for me in the joy they had.
Coiled Power Hot Sync
It does not move when I go to my favorite fishing holes that are on steep hills and twist roads. I also use it when I drive my big truck. With all the shaking and moving from the Interstates it stays right where I put it.
