Book Critique @ MindSay 
i finished my literary critique.
i believe i made it VERY clear that i hated this book.
:D
it was due today. i didn't do it. mainly i just didn't feel like it. plus i just started reading the book this wednesday so i havn't even finished it yet. she actually emailed my mom about it twice. she even asked my dad why i didn't do it and to ask me why. i told him it didn't fit into my schedule. he didn't buy it. so then i just said that i just didn't do it. that works. i'm not gunna lie about it. i didn't do it. i don't care. it was a stupid book anyways and i wasn't about to write a literary fucking critique on it. like that'll help us anyways? when else in our life will we ever need to write a literary critique? how about never. writing a literary critique won't help me get into college. it won't help me get a job. it won't help me get laid. nothing. it will never help me. never. and it's not like i even need to do these dumbass essay assignments we're doing anyways. my Odyssey essay was fine. i actually did a shitload better than i thought i would do. i got a B+. i think that's pretty good for a piece of shit essay that i thought up of off the top of my head. and plus i don't need to learn how to write an essay. i already know how. i'm not stupid. we do this stuff in kindergarden. introduction. middle/body. conclusion. it's not that difficult and we're in 9th freaking grade. we shouldn't be going over this stuff again. we already know. it was just a few people whose essays sucked ass. that's not all our faults. we shouldn't have to do all these piece of shit assignments just because maybe 5 people can't write a decent essay on the freaking Odyssey.
dammit. i'm so pissed. we're doing like, 3 more after this too.
Hey guys! I had to do a book critique for one of my classes, and this is the book I most recently finished. It's really good. I wouldn't suggest it for younger readers, but for adults and mature teens, I think it's really interesting. Normally I don't read books like this, but my Grandma had it sitting on her table over Christmas, so I picked it up and read it. She informed me that she didn't know the content, but that even if it had sexual content, I was mature enough to handle it or set it down if I found it inappropriate. So anyway, this is my thing:
“The Wedding Deal,” is a novel by Janelle Denison. Being a novel, its length is much greater than a hundred pages. As with many novels, romance is involved. This book shows no copyright date.
There are several characters in this book, but the primary one is a woman named Eden Lowe. Living on a ranch called the Double L, Eden is stuck with a large amount of bills. Her deceased husband, Bryce, had stated in his will the requirement to remarry before she was put in charge of the ranch’s estate. In the mean time, her brother-in-law, Allen, is put in charge of the finances.
Two-and-a-half years after Eden’s husband passed away, she became very frustrated with the way her brother-in-law was handling the accounts. Inviting her cowhand, Luke Bodene, to dinner, she proposes only a month or so after hiring him. She offers him a piece of land in Montana and a divorce, for one year of marriage. Although attracted to her, he tries to refuse her offer. Stubbornly, she does not want to give up, and asks him to think about it. Ten days later, his reply was still un-noted. Attempting to make him jealous, she goes to a public place, where Luke often retires at the end of the day. She carelessly flirts with many of the men present, and accepts as one offers her a dance. Luke begins to realize that he cares for this woman, and after a short confrontation, follows her outside, and accepts her proposal.
After the wedding, Eden’s daughter, Phoebe, from her previous marriage, notices that her “parents” are not staying in the same room. Avoiding conflict and fear of her brother-in-law finding out, they unwillingly share the same bed. The conclusion occurs when Eden takes a trip into town to have the ranch put in her name. Finding out that her brother-in-law legally drew out the majority of the ranches profit, she’s distressed for the fact her “pretend” marriage had been in vain. Allen visits the ranch, and confronts Eden about Luke’s ex-con past, which she had no knowledge of. Luke decides to leave, refuse the will to the land in Montana, and serves Eden with divorce papers. Months later, while looking for land, the realtors names off various properties, including one in Montana. Luke asks the name of the owner, and Eden Bodene was read aloud. Deciding to discuss the land with her, he pays her a visit and says he’s interested in the property. Knowing the deal she had made with him, she told him it was his, free of cost. He nodded and insisted that he wanted her to keep her land, but he also wanted to keep her as his wife.
Intended for a mature audience, this novel is excellently written. It shows various situations that many deal with on a daily basis throughout the world. Luke displays many characteristics of a “perfect man.” Eden, on the other hand, strikingly reveals the roll of a single mother who is determined to be self sufficient. The unity between the two main characters in this book shows equality between man and wife.
