I learned so much about history by reading the American Girl Molly books, and I swooned each time a catalog came in the mail. Girls today can “see themselves” in American Girl dolls of all sorts, but I was lucky at that time to see myself and to feel okay being “me” through the American Girl Molly doll. I loved the American Girl doll Molly for a few reasons : we both had glasses, we both wore our brown hair in braids and, while her father fought in World War II, both of my grandfathers did so. When I was a child, the only three American Girl dolls that existed were Kirsten, Samantha, and Molly.

That's why I enjoyed Twin Temptations - it had a pretty good blend of internal conflict and external. A romance story that focuses on a bigot and has a sickenly happy couple is only entertaining for so long same with a story that is nothing but angst. To me, a good plot has a blend of the two so that you're not overwhelmed and bored with one of them. Lynne's novel seem to focus more on external conflicts rather than internal conflict. I probably wouldn't have noticed it if I had spaced her books out, but I've read over a dozen of her books in the past two weeks. They all seem to follow the same general formula - People are happy, someone starts trouble, there's a fight, the trouble maker goes to jail and everyone lives happily ever after. The only big problem I found with this is that Lynne's plots are starting to all blend together. I didn't spot any major grammar mistakes that would turn a reader off. ![]() Starting with the basics - the story was definitely interesting and I did enjoy reading it.

Rolling Stone spoke to Cross about the project, and what it revealed about its mysterious subject. “When I went and saw that stuff, I called up Courtney and I said ‘Jesus fucking Christ, I cannot believe this art and how amazing all this stuff is.’ ” Cross’ new book, Cobain Unseen mines that archive for artwork, photographs and journal entries that have been locked away since the Nirvana leader’s death.

The main character, a teenaged girl, is never fully developed and to wit, I was never able to truly empathize with her. ![]() Two- and three-word sentences abound, and the choppiness is both distracting and obnoxious. Then add to this confusing word salad the cadence, which is strangely poetical in nature, rather than literary. The writing is bizarre, particularly the initial chapters, consisting of nonsensical metaphors, mixed metaphors, and similes, as if the "assignment" was to construct a work of fiction with "X" number of literary devices contained within, regardless of the appropriateness of said devices. listening to it, I can report without hesitation that there is nothing worthy of intrigue here.

How could I not have? Patrick Süskind’s novel, ingeniously centered around an acutely sensitized triptych of the olfactory : an odourless anti-hero with by far the most advanced olfactive apparatus in the world the utterly foul stench of humanity (hilariously disgusting from the off), and the contrasting beauty of perfume, is a work of utter brilliance, translated into 49 languages and a seller of over 20 million copies. ![]() Whenever you tell a non-perfume person that you love perfume, the first question they usually ask is : “ Have you read Perfume?” ![]() |
