If there was an Olympic title for the person whose eyes get red a lot, I would already be in line for Gold, honestly. Last month, my eyes turned red, they said it was sore eyes, I thought otherwise. My eyes do that a lot, going red at times, though I'd really be happy if I can control it and use it as an excuse to skip classes. Ha! That would be fun. On the downside to this, what's happening to me now is really the freaking viral sore eyes type, not the bacterial one that I always have. And this hurts a lot! Argh!! My eyelid feels so heavy, or is it just sleepy? Either way, I wanna sleep now, though I really want to read, but I have nothing to read at all!
My latest read was New Moon by Stephenie Meyer and it was so Fiction Press like, seriously, but I'm still gonna read Eclipse if I can manage to borrow one, I mean, it's a one of a kind thing, vampire love! Hahaha.. but her style is so, what do you call it, amateur-ish. And there was a lot of typos in the book, and I seriously hate noticeable typos in books, you'd think the editor didn't even read it. Hmm.. it was thick, and the thickness was due to the loooonnggg drag, covering at least 2/3rds of the whole book. And I really think that was such a waste of paper. When I say drag, it was so, well, normal. I hate those kind of things, for one, Bella was in a more provincial area and that multiplies the boredom times 20! Nothing exciting ever hardly happens in those kinds of settings. And her moping around for lost love? I don't wanna hear that, the whole part that it was written really did seem like moping around and really frustrating!!!! I hate the feeling of frustration when reading a book, it makes me kinda frustrated too! And that is hardly ever a good thing. Hmmm.. but at the end, and I think Meyer did make up for it in the end, was quite exciting, though it really left me hanging there! There were a lot of holes! And the whole book was a drag, like she was just laying down the pieces of the plot right then and there, giving out everything to be picked up in the next two books. When it comes to it, it had a feeling of just inventing stuff up that the hero would most likely need to survive in the end, which is really bad. I'm such a hard ass at these things!!
Ahh well, maybe I was just being a little bit overly too critical, because as I said and I still think, the story belongs in Fiction Press, it just got lucky enough to be published.
