Sorry, I know this is silly, but I can’t help myself. I read this comment over at ChristianityToday, after reading a good review of The Twilight Saga: New Moon.
New moon is demonic! You can justify it in your mind and water it down a million times but that won’t stop the effect it will have on you. It’s intentional by the devil to awaken the sextual desire in people mostly young people, to get your conscience use to, what is real bad become normal. WAKE UP peeps… be honest, it does affect you negatively. You don’t have to watch a movie like this to teach teenagers about love and brokeness. Halllooo…. life already does that! New Moon and Twilight is a really saying…. hey you, welcome to the dark side it’s good for you! Yeah well I don’t think so!
Just hilarious, if you ask me.

One of a handful of public domain mysteries from Agatha Christie, this quick read is a delight.
A great, fast read. I needed something to distract from me David Brinn’s Brightness Reef, which I can’t quite get into, and this did the job perfectly. The characters in this witty little mystery were fantastic, though a little one dimensional. I think she did a great job developing the characters despite a relatively small amount of pages. The mystery itself is fairly believable, though you do have to have a sense for WW1 British politics to take full advantage of it.
Pick this one up (for free online in many locations) for a fun, light read with some witty twists along the way.

UPDATE: After almost two weeks slogging through it, Brightness Reef is picking up steam. I had purchased City of Ember in an attempt to read something light, but Brightness Reef is having some nice twists to keep me interested.
