You all heard the saying. You all said the saying: ‘If I had a nickel….’ Well let’s try it on Miss Meyer’s vocabulary skills. I gave Twilight a chance and after halfway through the third book I couldn’t read anymore. Stephenie Meyer has the vocabulary skills of a thrid grader at best. Now before you hassle me on her skills, let’s take a look. It’s not the same word here or there. It’s everywhere. Let’s start with the most used word: ‘Slowly’.

I used Amazon’s SEARCH INSIDE page on all four books of Twilight. Can any of you guess what the grand total was? Not 100. Not 200. It was 244 times. 244 times she used the word ’slowly’. Now let’s use that old saying. 244 nickels is twenty-four dollars and forty cents. I can fill my gas tank almost all the way with that kind of money. Still not convinced? Okay, ’slowly’ can be used alot by some authors. Let’s let at some more.

‘Perfect’ is the second highest. Edward’s perfect face is said so many times with the word ‘perfect’. The total? 162 times. That’s sixteen dollars and twenty cents.

let’s add together ‘grimace’ and ‘grimaced’. Total? 49 times.

And finally, Edward’s ‘crooked’ smile. Total? 19 times.

When you add up the grand total of all these excess words, you get a whopping 474 over used words. Nearly fifty dollars in nickels. I can not only fill up my gas tank all the way but I can enjoy myself with a coffee and pastry at Starbucks and a mass-market book to read while I’m there with more to spare in my pocket.

Stephanie Myeyer, please for the love of God, get yourself a thesaurus! For all our sakes, please stop!

The system was in OK condition for not what I expected for what I paid. I had to replace the wireless bar that receives the remotes commands because the wire had been cut, and for that cost I could have just paid the extra 20.00 for a new system instead of 20 less for the used one. I am not real happy about this.

A very charming novel by a bright author. I was worried about reading this because I can’t stand reading anything about animal abuse. But somehow Gruen writes so poignantly that I didn’t find myself cringing at the animal abuse as much as I did about the characters and the story. The ending isn’t as good of a redemption as I would have liked (you will find out what I’m talking about) but it’s good enough and such a pleasure all the way through. Especially if anyone has a Polish background it will be even more entertaining for you. I highly recommend this different book about old circuses, old folks and young, and those who like a romantic twist and of course, animals.
