I saw this book in August when I was walking out of Borders and thought, "WT-effin-F?!?" The back cover cracked me up.
My second thought: "What is this book going to teach kids ... the meaning of golden, topaz, rainy, beautiful, sadly, slowly, unconditionally, and irrevocably?"
I'm not attempting to knock Twilight here, but even people that love the books rag on the vocab. So seriously? Se-ri-ous-ly?
But what the hell. If it teaches even one kid a new word ... Nah, it's still creepy. :)
lmao!! I could not get my mind around the concept of this book...so, I accepted the review request, lmao..so that I can actually stick my nose in there and let you all know just how...weird...all of this is becoming.
Just so you know, he will also be coming out with a Defining New Moon next! lol.
I found it in the Park Bench blog (google it it's a great blog), although Withering Heights=Abusive/Self-Destructive Relationship=Twilight=Abusive/Self-Destructive Relationship.
I'm a fan of twilight(the books, no offense the movie was crap.)but i've never even glanced twice at this book to even see what the hell it was about. wow! is all i can say... too far!
I've actually met Taylor Mali! He's really really awesome in person, and his slam poetry is fantastic. I love his poem about teaching, "I'll tell you what I make, I make a fucking difference" plus his poem "Like Lily, Like Wilson" is awesome. I agree 100% with your comment about Defining Twilight. Twilight is not the place to learn new words.
I don't give books star ratings; I give them bite ratings. This is a bite. A book can get up to five of these evil-looking chompers, including half bites.
You can attribute your own wording to the ratings. Five's the best, three's decent, one and under isn't worth the gas to go to the library. I'll leave it to you to fill in the blanks.

Oh come on now! Seriously guys, there are people out there who still don't know the meaning of chagrin!

Oh my god - so crazy...

Twilight has thoroughly become the whore on the corner with torn fishnets and bad make-up.
