“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” I said frostily.

The above is just one example in what I can only describe as a dialogue attribution holocaust. This is not just bad writing, it’s spectacularly inept writing. It is a literary abortion, so foul that it almost HAS to be intentional. If this book had been written as a parody of contemporary literature, it would deserve all of the attention that it has gotten. It would be kind of brilliant.

“Aren’t you hungry?” he asked distracted.
“No.” I didn’t feel like mentioning that my stomach was already full — of butterflies.

This book is a complete course on how NOT to write a book. It is stinking landfill of adverbs. It is an affront to literature, an insult to the craft with a thumb-smear of excrement fuming from every page. Someone named Jodi Reamer spent considerable time helping Stephanie get this book in shape before it was submitted to a publisher. I shudder to imagine what this book might have read like before this much-needed editing.

How does one swallow convulsively? How does someone hiss in a sentence with no ’s’ anywhere in their line of dialogue? How do you slam a door with excessive force? As opposed to slamming the door lightly? How do you intercept unfriendly glances from someone if the glances were already meant for you? There are hundreds, maybe thousands of lines throughout this book like this and even far worse.

This book should never have been published.

Ah, but it is so much worse than all of that, isn’t it? After all, it hit the Bestseller List and STAYED there. It has made MILLIONS of dollars. It’s no longer just a poorly plotted and terribly-written book. Now it’s a representation of the decline of literature. It’s a big neon sign announcing our collective failure as a species. This book outsold Water For Elephants, The Kite Runner, A Thousand Splendid Suns and other books far superior. It’s possible that it outsold all of them COMBINED. This is a book that was not read and enjoyed mere
Schwinn Microbead Bicycle Bike

It was so easy to assemble a monky can do it without the instruction manual. great for one child or two, light weight, folds thin as a pancake. the two straps that are not mentioned in the instructions are the safety breaks, just loop them through the frame and tire and clip to itself. it has a great trunk space. for my one year old i put a pillow in the footwell so he can push with his feet. use strap covers for seat belt. have to use small pillow behind back so a helmet will work.
great trailer, I would highly recomend this trailer, and the price is great two.
When I Broke the flag pole and called the company, they had one to me free of charge in two days.

I would not recomend this product to anyone who intends on using it as a jogger.

Outstanding bike for a great price. I’m new to road biking, but I’ve been mountain biking for quite some time now. The one thing that I’ve learned is that you want to start off with a well built bike that has potential. This is that bike. There are a lot of newer mechanical advances that allows for further upgrades to some of the newest and hottest components on the market. It comes with a 1 1/8″ threadless headset, three piece crankset, rear derailleur hanger and a single bolt seat post. All features are convenient for easy upgrades. Mechanically that bike performs very well. Out of the box assembly was minimal and easy. I’m 5′ 7″ and went with the 54cm model and Schwinn Katana Road Bike fits me great. Once I took it on a quick spin I noticed that the gears needed a little adjusting which almost all bikes due. Ever since it’s been working great. I’ve had no problems with it and I’m already past 100 miles. Last thing I want to leave u with is that bike shops are really the only place to buy these bikes and they start off at around $700. Also if you try to find a good used one chances are the bike is going to be pretty old and still sell for about $400 plus.

Great little gadget. Oh well I did install Schwinn 17-Function Bike Computer yet, but I turned it one and flicked through it functions. It seems to be a sturday unit that will make you biking a lot more interesting – if you like looking at your numbers. Very cheap and very functional unit, and I say – wired makes it more precise.

Have a nice trip
