This is not at all Christian. It is, however, completely representative of the therapeutic, self-fulfilling kindliness that passes for Christianity in America these days. If that’s all you’re looking for, here’s a deception that will effectively lull you into a warm, cozy and shallow life of obtuseness. It’s like deliberately choosing to turn yourself into a “smiley face”. What kind of person settles for that?

If you are Christian, stick with the Bible and your church. Those provide the challenging truths a person needs to understand, along with the reassurance and affirmation that keeps us striving to be fully human, the likeness and image of God.

My wife and I are totally thrilled with our Omron HJ-112 Digital Pocket Pedometer! We’ve given one to our friends on several occasions, and many in our exercise classes wear an HJ-112 during the time we are on our spinning bicycles! These are great for people in various degrees of rehabilitation, too, where walking is prescribed. Case in point: A relative of ours just had open heart surgery; he now proudly wears his pedometer every day…and is amazed how it motivates him to really enjoy walking!!! I am a backpacker, and I wear my pedometer on all my trips. It’s amazing how accurate this nifty electronic device is; and it’s nice knowing how far I’ve hiked to my lake-destination!!!

Two Christmases ago, my aunt got me this book for my birthday. I was already plenty skeptical about Twilight because it was extremely overrated, but I figured I might as well give it a shot. So I did. That night, I started reading it. And I kept reading it. Finally, I finished it, and I had lost pretty much all faith in humanity.

What is it about this book that’s so friggin’ appealing? It’s absolutely terrible! The writing is mediocre, the story itself nearly bored me to tears (look, I LOVE vampire stories, but what the hell was this? Vampires that SPARKLE? I mean, REALLY!?), and the characters…oh my God, the characters. I cannot for the life of me figure out what makes ANYONE like the characters in this disaster. Bella has got to be the absolute worst. Not only is her NAME cliched, but her entire character is just…ugh! She is the most boring, unoriginal heroine I’ve ever had the displeasure of reading about. She’s supposedly perfect and pretty and every other positive trait under the sun, but she’s constantly wallowing in her misery about how much her life sucks and blah blah blah. Give it a rest. Needless to say, I despise Bella’s character.

And, of course…there’s Edward.

Edward. Effing. Cullen.

And I thought BELLA was disgusting. How can girls all over the world be lusting after this freak? He’s A STALKER! I mean, he sneaks into Bella’s room and watches her sleep? He controls her like a freaking puppet? If my boyfriend did that, I wouldn’t be flattered, I’d be horrified! How Bella can actually enjoy this attention is beyond me.

So the writing, plot and characters are all terrible, and yet, nothing compares to the nature of Edward and Bella’s relationship. Everywhere I go, girls are constantly gushing over Edward and Bella’s love, saying it’s the sweetest thing they’ve ever read. GAG ME. There is no love OR chemistry between Bella Sue and Edward Stu. It revolves around lust, for God’s sake! What’s the reason Edward fell in love with Bella, exactly? Her

This book goes AGAINST Christian teachings. The author is an atheist wanker. Do NOT buy this book and support this attempt to poison our Christian youth. There should be an option to give a ZERO rating!

I come here to write this review, of course, “very late”….and so, perhaps many will not read what I have to say about this book.

Being an avid reader, with interests all over the “map” so to speak, I have read God-Knows-How-Many stories in my 62+ years. Some deeply moving, others barely creating or leaving the slightest ripple in my conscious brain. Some, seemingly, with the power to change the way I see things or think about things…sometimes subtly, and in others there are major thought differences after finishing the book. This book has affected me deeply.

The last book to touch me this way was some months back when I read “The Piano Shop on the Left Bank” by Thad Carhart The Piano Shop on the Left Bank: Discovering a Forgotten Passion in a Paris Atelier which I heartily recommend to you.

With “Water for Elephants” Sara Gruen creates the long-forgotten days of the Train Circus, and all that life entailed in those days…from the impossible “set-ups”, “knock-downs”, and in many cases “hasty retreats” from any particular chosen town before the authorities arrived upon the scene.

“Hard Luck Days” certainly would be a fitting genre to place this awesome story into. And, of course, with the depression, etc., they truly were hard luck days, for everyone involved with the exception of perhaps Uncle Al with his penchant for stealing, skimming, using and abusing everyone on the show. We also come to know August and his sickness that continually creates misery and unhappiness both for him, and also for those closest to him. There is Marlena, August’s wife and performing partner with her performing horses, and later her act with Rosie the Elephant (a charming, and all-knowing wonderful beast if ever there was one). There are dozens and dozens of other characters, distributed throughout all levels of the show, from performers right on down to the dung-shovelers and the guys who do nothing but put up and take down the tents for the big top, day in and day out endless
