This book is exactly what it was told to me to be: over 200 pages of waiting for Edward to get back. And if I'm waiting on Edward to get back, that's a shame. Bella spends the whole book pining for Edward and the moment-literally-she thinks she ought to go ahead and move on, she's gotta go save him. Meyer could've written Twilight and New Moon as one long book and paced it better. Maybe even have her fall for Jacob for a while-and actively pursue a relationship-so there's some actual tension and drama when Edward gets back.
I finally finished this book. I did not like it at all. I haven't read a book that I was as disinterested in, in a long time. I had to FORCE myself to finish it.
A clever, well-written, tongue-in-cheek and for the most part terrifyingly accurate analysis of class markers in America, starting with a full debunking of the notion that America does not have a class system and proceeding to carefully outline the distinguishing characteristics of each class in a wide variety of categories such as home decor, food preferences, manner of speech and leisure activities. Fussell is no snob--he seems to despise all classes equally, honing in on their foibles and deficiencies with an eagle's eye. It is only at the end, in his chapter on the the "X" or "non-class" group, that he displays an obvious sense of admiration for a group of people who are curious, talented, original and far too few in number. Keep in mind, though, that this book was published in 1983 (and in some of its assertions it is definitely woefully out of date)-- we can identify the "X" group, in its urban incarnation, as the dreaded hipster. A quick and funny read, perfect for a rainy weekend. You will never look at your in-laws the same way again.
