Sparkle Project: [WINGS]
Hello thar!
If you're new to my journal, then I am Sess, short for 'obSESSive', and I am second in the Cycle of Shittiness. I have decided to review the books via a running commentary on Twitter. I decided this about halfway through the first book, 'Wings', so the first 90 pages are review-less, I'm afraid. I have also created a seperate account for these commentaries, but I can't remember the damn username. Once I figure it out I'll post it here. If you would like to follow either of my Twitter accounts (@_Sess_ is the other one) then feel free to do so, but I won't be replying to any of your Sparkle Project-related tweets immediately - I'll take a note of them and reply to them on LJ when I post the commentaries.
My one-word review of the first 90 pages of Wings: Retarded. #SparkleProject #CycleOfShittiness

"The only thing that mattered was following this guy with the alluring smile." - Pike's motto, methinks. #SparkleProject #CycleOfShittiness

Tamani has dyed roots? That's nothing new: http://www.fanpop.com/images/polls/12214_3_full.jpg #SparkleProject #CycleOfShittiness

"Not quite British, not quite Irish." This dumb bitch needs to study up on her accents. You mean ENGLISH! #SparkleProject #CycleOfShittiness
3 July 2010 16:00:16 BST via web
Why is Tamani asking Laurel questions? She has way more of a right! This reeks of stalking... #SparkleProject #CycleOfShittiness
3 July 2010 16:03:11 BST via web
"You've always been a flower." "Excuse me? Just what to you mean by that?" Best insult! Except 'fucktard' #SparkleProject #CycleOfShittiness
3 July 2010 16:09:30 BST via web
"That's a stupid trick" I misread as "He's a stupid prick." Thought this book was gonna get interesting. #SparkleProject #CycleOfShittiness
3 July 2010 16:11:49 BST via web
This thing needs a B-plot, seriously. Can't stand any more of Laurel's angsty whinging. #SparkleProject #CycleOfShittiness
3 July 2010 16:13:10 BST via web
Right, I can't stand any more of Wings for today. I am in dire need of a cup of tea and a biscuit... #SparkleProject #CycleOfShittiness
3 July 2010 16:25:49 BST via web
Right, today I'm going to hold my nose and dive back into Wings. #SparkleProject #CycleOfShittiness

My one word review of the first 250 words of Wings: Retarded. #SparkleProject #CycleOfShittiness
6 July 2010 16:43:16 BST via web
Wings reads like Pike started playing peek-a-boo with the plot but got bored and walked away. #SparkleProject #CycleOfShittiness
6 July 2010 22:21:55 BST via web
So...is Barnes the bad guy just because Laurel deleted his phone messages? Weak, dude. #SparkleProject
7 July 2010 14:56:58 BST via web
256 pages in, and we finally see some action! Too bad it's just driving around. #SparkleProject
7 July 2010 15:11:24 BST via web
Pfft, Pike clearly crowbarred in that cuss word, just because she could. That could have been used far more effectively. #SparkleProject
7 July 2010 15:22:49 BST via web
LMFAO! Laurel and her almost-boyfriend have been kidnapped, and she's worrying about her shoes? Brilliant. #SparkleProject
7 July 2010 15:25:36 BST via web
Okay, props to Pike, I thought the breathing thing was just a way to get them to kiss, but it actually has a practical use. #SparkleProject
7 July 2010 15:28:36 BST via web
Hang on, if she's breathing almost pure oxygen, wouldn't that, y'know, pretty much kill David? #SparkleProject
7 July 2010 15:31:09 BST via web
God damn it, I hate it when people say "very dead". There's no degree to which you can be dead, you either are or aren't! #SparkleProject
7 July 2010 15:40:13 BST via web
David has a knife in his car??? That's simultaneously very scary and very convenient. #SparkleProject
7 July 2010 15:49:01 BST via web
I love my mum! "The cover screams 'don't read this piece of shite'." #SparkleProject
7 July 2010 16:34:36 BST via web
Tik Tok just came on while I was reading Wings. My brain imploded. Buh-bye. #SparkleProject
7 July 2010 16:44:46 BST via web
Suddenly I feel like I'm reading a very gay version of 24. No offence to 24. #Sparkleproject
7 July 2010 17:58:07 BST via web
Pike needs to learn how to advance the plot without either static dialogue or whimsical rambling. #SparkleProject
7 July 2010 19:57:32 BST via web
Tamani, word of advice: don't try and make a move on a girl in a car when the guy who nearly drowned for her is driving. #SparkleProject
7 July 2010 20:07:46 BST via web
Asymmetrical face = troll? Shit. I'm a troll. #SparkleProject
7 July 2010 20:10:33 BST via web
Too much description. Too much history. Too little plot. #SparkleProject
7 July 2010 20:12:08 BST via web
"We're done talking." Thank fuck. Aside from Tamani getting shot in the kneecaps (which was cool!), nothing has happened. #SparkleProject
7 July 2010 20:37:33 BST via web
Pike clearly wanted this piece of crap to be adapted into a movie. The physical descriptions are so stage-direction-y. #SparkleProject
7 July 2010 21:18:27 BST via web
30 pages from the end, I've simply lost interest. The fight between Tamani and Barnes should have been the climax. #SparkleProject
7 July 2010 21:21:54 BST via web
Oh, I see; if Tamani hadn't been injured in that fight, there would be nothing for Laurel to fawn over. My bad. #SparkleProject
7 July 2010 21:25:24 BST via web
There are already too many conveniences in this book, but they just happen to have a fucking DIAMOND? That's taking the piss #SparkleProject
7 July 2010 21:30:05 BST via web
Alright, Laurel, we're 10 pages from the end of the book. You HAVE to figure out who you love or I'll shoot you in the face. #SparkleProject
7 July 2010 21:39:30 BST via web
They've said "It's the only logical explanation" a lot. I can't think of a book where that phrase is more unjust. #Sparkle Project
7 July 2010 21:42:08 BST via web
"I'm not trying to decide who's my one true love. It's not like that." Umm, if it's not like that, then you're a slut, girl. #SparkleProject
7 July 2010 21:45:06 BST via web
I should get into marketing for literature. "Wings: It's like somebody jizzed all over Shakespeare! (Sparkly, pollen jizz)." #SparkleProject
7 July 2010 21:48:49 BST via web
My one-word review for the entirety of Wings: Retarded. Thank you, and good night! #SparkleProject
7 July 2010 21:51:55 BST via web
I must resist the urge to burn Wings; after all, it's another's turn to suffer *insert evil laugh here* #CycleOfShittiness
7 July 2010 21:54:43 BST via web
Two showers later, Wings is still not off me. HALP!!! #SparkleProject
8 July 2010 19:46:08 BST via web
I'm just getting the hang of this; the next one will be better!
