Far From Home

another day in this carnival of souls
another night settles in as quickly as it goes
the memories of shadows, ink on the page
and I can't seem to find my way home


and it's almost like your heaven's trying everything
your heaven's trying everything to keep me out


all the places I've been and things I've seen.
a million stories that made up a million shattered dreams
the faces of people I'll never see again
and I can't seem to find my way home


'cause it's almost like your heaven's trying everything to break me down
'cause it's almost like your heaven's trying everything to keep me out

Evaluation

DONE!

I just finished the fourth and final Twilight book. I started back on November 29th, so I'd say I finished pretty quickly! My review? The story was good and entertaining. Vampires will always been very sensual to me, that's why I've never been able to be fooled into the innocence these books attempted to portray. When it comes down to it, I've read paperback novels (aka SMUT) that were tamer than these books. But I've never specifically heard them declared as good or wholesome. I wasn't impressed by her writing talent, but I may have been biased because I recently finished Harry Potter. Another series written for the younger generation, but way beyond that reading level. Twilight is appropriate for the target audience.

Moral? I'm glad I read these books. Both for education and for enjoyment. I did enjoy them. I had more eye-rolling times than I usually do, but that comes with the demographic. I don't feel like I wasted this past month, but I probably wouldn't read them again. Stephenie Meyer had a great run for a first-time author, and I'm interested to see if she ever writes again. Unfortunately, I'm thinking she is set with royalties and won't publish much in the future.

Farewell, Jacob *sigh*
