I found this book to be well written, with a clever idea of conveying the characters thoughts and experiences through a journal they share. The down side is that the characters are total losers that are stuck in a rut and cannot escape it. This normally wouldn't bother me, except they struggle to escape their mundane lives, and both find it impossible, which I found original, but totally depressing. The overall message to the story could be summed up as: if you were born a loser; you will die a loser, don't bother fighting it. If you are some one who is easily depressed or border line suicidal, DO NOT READ THIS BOOK, it will put you over the edge. If you are perpetually upbeat and want to read something completely original than this may be for you, but consider yourself warned.

This season of True Blood was much worse than the first, and I thought the first had many flaws. The first story arc is painful, and when it ends you realize it was just a meaningless ploy to remove the strong characters from town so everything else can go to hell and they can come back and fix it. There is some really terrible writing here, ruining what was once an original take, on an old premise.

This the second biography on Warren Buffett that I have read, and I must say the other one was much better. This version of Buffett's life is more accurate, but it will make your eyes bleed with the details. Easily 500 pages too long, the authour takes forever to get to the point of each chapter. She rattles on about useless things like, what he ate on a certain day, what the weather was like, what he wore, and what everyone else was wearing. This is what happens when you interview a man with a photographic memory and think you have to write down every little piece of information he recalls. My advice is to read the first chapter and the last two, in the book store for free, and then buy the slightly older yet superior Buffett: The Making of an American Capitalist.
