Stardust by Neil Gaiman (1999, 248 pgs.)

Four-Word Review:
Wanted: Falling Star's Heart

Four-Word Review:Sarah, Plain and Tall by Patricia MacLachlan (1985, 1 hr.)

Such a short story requires a short review--here it is in four (or kind of five) words:

Mail Order Sealed w/ Love

As I Lay Dying by William Faulkner

I haven't done a four-word review in a while, so here's one for As I Lay Dying:

Dysfunctional Family Buries Mother

I can't quite leave it at that--I liked it better than The Sound and the Fury, but you still have to work at understanding some passages, and switch gears often due to the many narrators. In some parts I laughed, and others pondered the meaning of my existence, like the characters in the novel. If I were to read this in an American Lit class, where I would have to dissect it and dig deeper, I bet it would earn one more star. But for now:

Comfy-Chair Reading: The Twilight Series by Stephenie Meyer

This series was a rushed escape--they are intensely romantic, easy to read page-turners. Inspired by Four Word Film Reviews, I decided to describe each of these books in four words. If you haven't read them, these will likely make no sense, but I know I would have liked to have had no prior knowledge of the content, and definitely less hype, so the less you know the better.

Twilight: "VEGETARIAN" VAMPIRE CRAVES KLUTZ

New Moon: WEREWOLF COMFORTS MOURNING DAREDEVIL

Eclipse: HEATER OR ICE PACK?

Those who have read this series, feel free to contribute your own four-word reviews! And of course, who do you prefer--the heater or the ice-pack?
