If you like The Chronicles of Narnia, the Tripods Trilogy by John Christopher, or other Sci-Fi/Fantasy books, you’ll love this series! Who would’ve thought that two things as unlikely as a human 12-year-old boy genius and an underground world of faries would go so well together? This book will definitely give you a whole new perspective on faries! Read this, you will enjoy it! It’s NOT overrated!!
The Power of Rap

Yes, I read the entire series. No, I didn’t think that it was an excellent example of literature. But it was worth it to read the ridiculous fourth book. I didn’t think that it could make my eyes tear up with laughter more.

But it was a train wreck that I couldn’t take my eyes off the page to see what next retarded thing was going to happen in the plot. It was a bonding experience with my sister – we would read the books and then call each other laughing. Then we would wait a couple of weeks after the two movies came out (out of respect of the fans we waited) and sit in the theater and laugh and laugh.

But that aside – I have a serious beef with this author. She claims that she has never seen or read anything with vampires. I beg to differ – she steals from a number of places. Let’s take a look.

1. True Blood’s Sookie can read minds but she can’t read vampires – a total relief to her. With a twist, Edward can read minds but not Bella’s! And Bella intrigues him just like Sookie was intrigued with vampires.

2. Interview with the Vampire’s Louie doesn’t want to kill humans because it makes him feel guilty and eats animals. The Cullens want to be “good” vampires and not kill humans so they eat animals.

3. True Blood’s Sookie is first dating a vampire in the series. But she gets hurt by him and leaves him. Who does she date next? Wait for it….a Wereworf! See anything similar here? And wait….then eventually Sookie goes back to vampires! *gasp*

4. Buffy’s Angel is a brooding vampire with a conscience that doesn’t want to harm anyone and make up for his sins. Angel refuses to be happy when he is with Buffy – he’ll hurt her! Edward is the spitting image of Angel – except with all that sparkling in the sun instead of the self immolation.

I could go on with the simliarities but then it would be tldr;

Bottom line – I hate when authors say they didn’t rip off some ideas from somewhere else. For god’s sake, almost every author does to a certain degree f

I can honestly say that I was hesitant to read this book because of all the publicity and hype it have received. I was afraid that they hype was just that–hype–and the book wouldn’t live up to my expectations. I started reading around 11:30 p.m. and the next thing I knew it was 6:00 a.m.; I had finished the book. I just couldn’t put it down because I got drawn into the story.

Like many readers, I was, at first, a little put off by Bella stating how beautiful Edward was over and over again. (I think after the 3rd time readers probably got the idea that the man is perfection in physical beauty.) However, the characters were so well sketched and their flaws so real that I couldn’t help being intrigued by them. And yes, even Edward, who is perfect to Bella, has some “character” flaws, which is what I think makes him a realistic and believable character. The human qualities of emotions and desires that Meyer has given Edward and his family make them work well as characters. The only character that I found slightly annoying was Renee, Bella’s mother, who really does play a very minor role in the book.

For a teenage paranormal romance, I also think the plot works well and does a good job of conveying many of the primary anxieties of high school and teenage relationships/romances without being overly angst-ridden. Meyer does an especially good job of sketching out what it feels like, from the character’s perspective, of being an outsider in a small town. I think she does a good job of this from both Bella and the Cullen’s perspectives.

Feel the power again

I really like this hand mixer. I specifically wanted one with more power than the one I had before. However, the lowest setting is almost as fast as the last setting. It’s recommended for mixing things like flour or other powders, but if you did that you would have it all over you. If you don’t mind mixing something like that by hand and you just use this for liquids and thicker things then it’s fine. However, I was a little worried when I was whipping egg whites, just make sure you have a deep enough bowl. I haven’t tried it yet, but I’m hoping that mixing cookie dough will be better with the extra power, because that’s what did my old mixer in. I really like that there are two different attachments. One for liquids and one for thicker things. The thicker one doesn’t seem as sturdy as my old hand mixers beaters, but maybe that is why they couldn’t handle the cookie dough.

I really enjoyed reading this book! I was surprised how many times I laughed out loud as I read the story of a man who found himself working in the circus. I highly suggest this book to those that just want to be told a story. No mystery, some romance and lots of laughs and thrills. I will read other books from this author!

I have been very happy with this product. I have used it for running and biking and it works as advertised. I also took it on a recent trip back east and I loved being able to do a run anywhere and know accurately the distance and pace. I love all the stats it gathers and download to my Mac works great. I am preparing for a half marathon and I am finding it an invaluable tool for my training.
