Summary
High schools are now the key institution in the schooling process. For low-income young people, these can be "make or break" years. Students who excel have the chance to continue on to elite universities, which increases their chances of future financial security. Educational reformers trying to increase and improve what high school students learn face stiff opposition from entrenched administration, swamped students, and teachers who have seen reforms come and go.

Uhg. I read Twilight and was sorely disappointed in it, but I had heard through a series of acquaintances that this one was better--that it introduced werewolves and slightly healthier relationships.
I was deceived.
It was awful--not as bad as its predecessor, but still pretty...more...

You may have heard me rant about the previous novel Twilight. I decided to read the sequel, just to see if it will get better.
Boy, was I wrong.
First off, we began with Bella Swan bitching about how old she's getting, because Edward stays 17 forever, and since her birthday is ...more...

Keep in mind that though this review is about to wheel off into an angry rant, this book is good. The series is addictive. And as I said previously about Stephanie Meyer, if you want to cease brain function for a few hours, she's your girl.
The beginning is slow, the middle is gold, the...more...

Not as good as Twilight having chosen to abandon EVERY element that made it so great but still manages to keep this book afloat with the new mystery and dangers.
Edward leaving wasn't surprising, he kept thinking about it before when Bella was in the hospital and it was a drama and angst ...more...

When she was 12 me and my daughter Georgia went to see Twilight. After the movie I asked her what she thought.
"THAT WAS THE BEST MOVIE EVER" she said. And she went to see it three more times, with people other than me.
So she bought the book and read it in abou...more...

Bella Swan's relationship with her hot vampire boyfriend Edward Cullen is heating up when her characteristic clumsiness messes everything up again at her vampire-thrown birthday party. In typical Bella style, she gives herself a paper cut and Edward has to literally throw himself in front of her to ...more...

I can't even.... wow. Is anyone else completely aghast that this dreck saw a printing press not to mention became a wildly popular series?
I thought I was being hard on Twilight when I criticized it for portraying a relationship so ill-advised and unhealthy and then romanticizing that re...more...

Twilight was a grand romance which frequently left me smiling, but New Moon takes on a bittersweet, angst-filled and edgy tone in this continuing dramatic saga of teen love between a vampire and a human. The book gets off to a rather explosive start, but rapidly turns t...more...

I am totally insane. Even though I totally dissed Twilight in this blog, I have an obsession with series and read New Moon.
Why do I intentionally put myself through such dreck?
New Moon is only a slight improvement over Twilight. The book has two things going for it:

As ye sow, so shall ye reap.
Earlier this year, I foolishly lent my copy of Twilight to Cate across the road. She liked it. Then, when she got a place at college last month, we thought we'd give her something as a congratulations-and-going-away present. It was so logical to buy a copy of...more...
