I kept hearing about Twilight the movie and wasn’t really interested. Then I saw the movie and that changed things. Went on Amazon and bought Twilight. I read it in one sitting.
Great read, really enjoyed it.

Reading Twilight is a little bit like drinking a big pitcher of watered-down Kool-Aid: after you drink it you realize it would’ve been much more satisfying to stick with a smaller quantity of higher quality.

Going into the story, it’s expected that the book is going to be a sweet young adult novel, nothing too unexpected. But then when you sit down and read it you get the feeling someone’s playing a joke on you… such great reviews for such a weak drawn-out story?

The first three-quarters of the book are for the most the protagonist lamenting about how she’s clumsy, doesn’t like Forks, that the Cullens (especially Edward) are beautiful, and that she herself is nothing special. Personally, I would have enjoyed Twilight Condensed much more…it’s an interesting enough premise, the execution was just disappointing.

I admit, it took me a little while to warm up to this series, but now I’m hooked! The audiobook is an incredible performance, as well. Eoin Colfer creates a fascinating new universe that is peopled with equally fascinating characters. It would be a great read for preteens, but as an adult, I thoroughly enjoyed it as well. I also love the physical book – the cover is much nicer than shown here, and it has uneven, old-fashioned looking rag paper pages. It’s much higher quality material than you usually find in a hardback.

Catcher in the Rye by J.D Salinger is a story that can make anyone smile. The main character, Holden Caulfied, is a troubled teen that is yet again, expelled from another haughty boarding school. Holden cannot find the motivation to succeed in school because he feels he does not have a purpose. Why apply yourself if you don’t know your place in life? Holden struggles with his inner-self, battling his own mind, and trying to understand his purpose in life as a teenage boy. Holden’s difficulty in comprehending his place in the world as a young boy is what makes this story unviversally relatable.

After Holden is asked to leave Pencey High School after winter break [expelled], Holden ditches school early to take a little “vacation” to New York City; he packs and leaves by train in the hopes of enjoying himself before returning home to his parent’s wrath. In the few days he spends in New York , he experiences the city’s nightlife through strippers, bars, and night clubs. In contrast, he also spends his free time by revisiting his childhood, reuniting himself with old friends and visiting sentimental places. Holden seems to have a lot of friends, although it is obvious he is not confident about friendships. Holden degradingly numbers off girls throughout the story and therefore his character becomes bothersome. However most of the time it is very easy to sympathize for Holden as he is in deep distress, and he feels that he is surrounded by a bunch of “phonies”. No matter who he associates himself with, whether it is an old friend or a stripper, he feels out of place. The more Holden observes and aquaints himself with humankind in New York City, the more he realizes he is different, and the more he feel like he is without purpose. His inner-struggles and battling of the mind eventually peaks causing for a catchy ending. However, the author does not fill the ending with detail and it can be very frusterating.

Over all, this book was easy to relate to, it was funny, and i

My family is really enjoying the Wii. They play it just about everyday. I broke my leg just a couple days after I ordered it, so I haven’t played it as much as I’d like, but as soon as I can move around more, I definitely will.

It’s fine. Easy to install and works good. I had to get a new program because my laptop crashed and I had to get a new one. Since the program only allows it to be installed on 3 computers; I had originally loaded it on my laptop, my daughter’s laptop, and my home computer, I couldn’t install the program again. It would be nice if we could have used my original program on my new laptop.
