HEART BREAKING
The closer

I had many expectations about this book (derived from the Blog-Tour organized by Angela Morrison Library The Itzel which I was part) and maybe that is not one hundred percent satisfied. Analicemoslo a bit:

The plot begins with a Cinderella cliche trapped in a world of ridicule and humiliation, and suddenly, a fairy godmother arrives with a credit card and you solve life. (I mentioned before this is a cliche?). In a separate situation, the typical best friend (luserino) in love with her from the beginning, which she changes for the cute boy (clicheee!!).
In another scene, character guy falls in love but your loved one has a disease that is his death sentence (as in "a love to remember"?) And stay together until near the end of the life of x.
I swear I wanted to give a good rating to the book, some form, available through the blog author tour makes me want to say that his novels are excellent ... but could not lie to myself, and that ever!.
In general the plot has some weaknesses: it is as if Angela had taken a blender and set it to "Cinderella," "Mean Girls," "A Love to Remember", the classic best friend luserino (sinifica unpopular or loser more .. literally. loser-ino ... if I live in border and mix languages) loooooooong movies and books for young gringos, would have added ice, and had served on a frappe teenager. Do not take it badly, in general is good (as a rich frappe on a hot day) but it's nothing new.
As for the characters, esque truth are the best of the book. Beth evolves wonderfully, and all behave as they should be, to the point that seems real people in real situations. the best is Beth. She is strong (enough to make credible that is not mired in a depression of hell after what he lived), has the right motives and everything else. Like the other characters, even the mothers of these are well done.
The cover is beautiful, touching and very appropriate for the story.
Angela's style is simple to follow, interesting, attractive. It has little details that make you think, laugh, smile sarcastically, talk to the author and mourn mourn ... a lot! I like so well and I love to read most of it.
The end ... I think was a bit incomplete. Everything ended very quickly and I think the change was extremely sudden unjustified Scott ... besides that, i was pretty good. I love the detail of the song and lagirmas recovered.
Overall a good book, poignant and very sweet. Although I do not completely fill the eye.

I give it a 4: More along the lines of the author that the book itself.

Do Women Like Male Piercings

Angel Star


Name: Angel
Star Author: Jenifer Murgia
Year: 2010
loan from Latin girls Book Tour (thanks)

Synopsis:
Teagan McNeel, de 17 años, cae perdidamente enamorada del cautivante Garreth Adams y pronto descubre que su chico tiene una estrella de ocho picos grabado en la palma de su mano derecha, la marca del ángel. Pero dónde hay luz hay oscuridad, y ella y Garreth de pronto se encontrarán vulnerables ante el malicioso plan de un ángel oscuro que amenaza no solo su vida, si no la de las personas a su alrededor, y ahora estará dividida entre el sacrificio de un ángel y la viciosa ambición de otro (Sinopsis tomada de Latin Books Tour)

Opinion:
Podría resumir todo en una palabra: Meh!!.
Ok, la historia tenía potencial: Angeles negros y blancos, una guerra que involucra el control human total conviction and not by "free will" but control in every sense of the word style puppets. Guardian Angels (an area not fully exploited when speaking of angelic wars), past lives, the brother of Lucifer and angels completita community. Sounds interesting and could have been extremely interesting ... (In the wise words of Phil, Hercules) "But that maldiiiiiito heel!" has so many blunders in regard to 1) characters 2) plot 3) VILLAIN (siii!! a villain seems pathetic ... A MI I love the villains) 4) context and a thousand and one things more ...

The early chapters the story sounds enganchante, attractive character and the different strands are potential ... but thereafter the story falls: full chapters as Teagan wanders complains or something (no other character), meaningless descriptions that if made to eat, if under the stairs, if it was the bath and clean with paper pachonsito ... much "blablabla" and anything interesting.
Ok, let's talk plot. Actually could have had a lot of potential, but gives the impression that the author took all of the manga. As in those dreams that are so interesting that when you wake up you look great material for your next book, but when put on paper are in the air too much (Do you have past?). I mean there are so many inconsistencies and contradictions in this "angels becoming human" do not know where to start: How is a guardian angel might be Arcangel? Are not they supposed that the guards are a different species of angels? How the heck is transmitted through human biological inheritance "blood" guardian angel? So you do if I've lived my life and had eight .. no .. say 20 children in total, how are the children of my guardian angel and the guardian angel of his father? Are not they supposed that angels are beings of light that do not play? Garreth Why wait until the "last life" of the tart if passed and seven previous lives watching my back? Why when I was seventeen? If you have been millions and trillions of people throughout human existence, in the words of Hadrian, some have more of an angel How CARAMBA get this angel be the first to fall in love with a human and, worse, as CHIHUAHUAS God gets in his magnanimity, leaving the human becoming, momentarily, to the tart in question without guardian angel? simply makes no sense How the heck can a human to cross from one world to another? Are not they supposed that angels can do because they are beings of light, but humans could not because they are corporeal? Is there a dimensional gate the world of angels? Why no one crossed before?, and so could continue with hundreds of inconsistencies in the book, but I will not spoil the surprise.
characters: are flat, bland, no joke. Garreth, the "hero" of the movie instead of evolving involution (the brute force lost); Teagan does not evolve, but his personality seems to change radically now, the villain ... oh please dont get me the villain ... to say who is the brother "good" Lucifer that after millennia discovers that wants to be bad and in one chapter as "mature" (and what a brat HUMAN expires 17 years !!!).
the author's style is not so bad: it is readable and I suppose that is well for the audience it is directed, but nothing special, nothing that so and so many authors "Debut" Americans have not shown before.
The cover ... I do not like. It has no joke, not attractive, does not say much about the story and cause I really do not want to read it.
And the final ... THE FINAL !!... is not only confusing but ends up twice or so: S. .. when I read the end I thought "finally !!".. but oh misery! still missing 50 pages of extra final: S where the story continues with more "bluff" and an end to "make the emotion" for the second book ... and over, not even made sense!! xS ... it was awful
In a nutshell:
1) Do not read again
2) do not recommend it unless it is a very very VERY young readers who are just looking and mellow love scenes between human pegosteosas paranormal
3) The second part is off my list defintivamente "books to read"
4) The author is in my red (so, a step away from the black list)
5) I give it a rating enormisimo 2:
I slept (literally). Would never read even in jest.

Streaming Family Guy The Iphone

Amaury


Name: Amaury
Author: Alejandro Dumas
Year: 1843

Synopsis:
Paris, the city of pleasant conversation, is the setting for the reader to delve into the dark thoughts about the human heart. If love kills or is a source of life, is a conclusion that the reader should get for yourself by reading this wonderful story of love and death.

Opinion:
Once again, the teacher opens the door to a magical world and realistic at the same time, steeped in emotion and romance. Where death lurks around every corner for those of weak heart who have dared to hold to love. This story (relatively short for the parameters of Dumas) is one of the hidden gems in the dark (unlike, for example, Count of Monte Cristo or The Three Musketeers), but not diminish its quality or strength.
Needless to say, the writing style, read the book is read from the pen of the master himself. If someone is not read some of Dumas, or if you think like me, but frankly with each book I read about falling in love every time he managed more than his style so beautiful and descriptive. I love, simply love it.
As the characters are human, nor why. Although not make me mad style personalities (wealthy and somewhat pompous) must accept that some are missing out of the leaves of the book. They are beautifully shaped and fit sooo well with the standards of the time, not to mention having background and psychological development. Although not identify with any specific, are therefore no less successful.
As for the plot is interesting. Dumas manages to put twists and some other exciting but not least sorpendentes. It focuses on all different types of love that human being can experience (the fleeting, that of father, son, the passion, which delivers all the constant and faithful etc) and as live three or four above main characters. Very nice and touching, but we must admit that it is one of the most elaborate plots the teacher. In fact the plot becomes second term in importance in the development of history itself. Dumas
prints humanism emotional and impressive in this work and also includes elements of reflection and short play. a very good book that I think deserves the read, especially if, like me, you love the works of Alexander Dumas.
In my opinion it deserves a four.
Dumas is the master, but can not compare this with their best works

Below I present the download link, I hope you enjoy it like me (if you are concerned about what copyright, do not worry; as Dumas wrote this work in 1843 and remember that copyright apply only 100 years after the author's death, and that although he had kept alive until 1900, you can enjoy their works freely)
