not bad, but after awhile you just WANTED SOMETHING DRAMATIC TO HAPPEN! I guessed the obvious and thought the last third of the book justified the rest. Havent seen the movie. Wonder if it is really sappy or only kinda sappy.

Josh Lanyon's books are fast becoming my favourite comfort reading, as he creates such likeable characters that you can't help but want them to find their happy ending, and fortunately, they invariably do :-)! In this story, the mystery of who took the priceless copy of Shakespeare's The Tempest throws private detective Neil Rafferty into the high society world of 1930s San Francisco when contracted by Brett Sheridan to find it. The theft leads the pair through twists and turns, and along the way other secrets are revealed, including Brett and Neil's attraction to each other. A very enjoyable read!

Who would have thought that the drama filled teen movie, Mean Girls was based on the non fiction book, Queen Bees and Wannabes? The hilarious but evil movie actually has some truth to it. The author of the book, Rosalind Wiseman, travels to different middle school and high school working with girls and boys to address everyday teen topics like gossiping, relationships, drugs, parties, and parent-child relations. The story dissects the life of teenage girls and boys by imputing her analysis on experiences shared by the students she talks to at her workshops. While this book was designed for parents to read, I would recommend females to read this book so that they are more aware about the world around them. Since the book was targeted at parents, the majority of the book puts the teen life into perspective. While all parents have been thirteen at some point of their lives, Wiseman critically explains the motivations of girls and reminds parents about what it was like to be a teenager. She shares the stories of girls and boys and offers advice for parents for how to deal with certain situations. In all, her purpose is to teach parents and children to be respectful of others and to be mindful of their actions. Reflecting on our actions is something that we don’t do enough. I appreciate Wiseman’s approach to a sensitive but necessary topic because she talks about topics in an open and well informed way with multiple perspectives. For example, she has a section called the “Art of Apology”(148), in this section, she shows that girls need to recognize their mistakes, apologize without giving if’s, but’s, and etc, and not force the other person to apologize too, even though they should. Not only does she give her own opinion on the topic, but she includes quotes from students that give advice on how to give a good apology. It showed the maturity of Wiseman because she wasn’t pushing her own beliefs onto other parents. Even though Wiseman was cautious with her advice on sensitive topics, she was not afraid of telling parents what they don’t want to hear on extremely necessary topics. It might sound a bit hypocritical, at first, but in fact, it isn’t. “While we’re on the subject, the worse gossip you are, the worse your daughter will be (and you thought she didn’t listen to you!)” (112) She understands that sometimes she has to break it down. The fact that she spells it out clearly, shows that she isn’t afraid to do what is necessary to break the habit of gossiping. All in all, Wiseman’s novel is quite entertaining and enlightening. I respect her because she includes other people’s opinions and their perspective, such as teenage girls, teenage boys, parents, and teachers. I never thought think about my life in middle school in such a critical way, and reading Wiseman’s words help guide me through this tough topic. If given the chance, Wiseman can do the same for you.

Favorite Quotes I suppose [my life] has most resembled a blue chip stock: fairly stable, more ups than downs, and gradually trending upward over time. A good buy, a lucky buy, and I've learned that not everyone can say that about his life. "A living poem" had always been the words that came to mind when he tried to describe her to others. Our lives can't be measured by our final years, of this I am sure. We sit silently and watch the world around us. This has taken a lifetime to learn. It seems only the old are able to sit next to one another and not say anything and still feel content. The young, brash and impatient, must always break the silence. It is a waste, for silence is pure. Silence is holy. It draws people together because only those who are comfortable with each other can sit without speaking. This is the great paradox. And I learned what is obvious to a child. That life is simply a collection of little lives, each lived one day at a time. That each day should be spent finding beauty in flowers and poetry and talking to animals. That a day spent with dreaming and sunsets and refreshing breezes cannot be bettered. But most of all, I learned that life is about sitting on benches next to ancient creeks with my hand on her knee and sometimes, on god days, for falling in love. It is life, I think, to watch the water. A man can learn so many things. And when her lips meet mine, I feel a strange tingling I have never felt before…and suddenly a miracle…and I discover a forgotten paradise, unchanged all this time, ageless like the stars. I feel the warmth of her body, and…I allow myself to slip away. I close my eyes and become a mighty ship in churning waters, strong and fearless, and she is my sails.

I found this novel to be pretty interesting. It didn't blow me away nor was it as funny as the movie, but it was pretty insightful. Women are the fairer, albeit really confusing, sex. The main character Rob Fleming always seems to have problems having relationships with them. What better way to understand yourself or why you get women to eventually hate you than by examining past relationships? He had a passion for music, and it got in the way of the girls he dated. The moral of the story is that you shouldn't have a love for things that aren't your girlfriends because they need constant attention, true story. Just kidding. Or am I? (Suspenseful music plays.)
