"I want to perform an unnatural act."

- Lenny Bruce



"I get a kick out of being an outsider constantly. It allows me to be creative. I don't like anything in the mainstream and they don't like me."

- Bill Hicks



"I don’t like ass kissers, flag wavers or team players. I like people who buck the system. Individualists. I often warn people: “Somewhere along the way, someone is going to tell you, ‘There is no “I” in team.’ What you should tell them is, ‘Maybe not. But there is an “I” in independence, individuality and integrity.’” Avoid teams at all cost. Keep your circle small. Never join a group that has a name. If they say, “We’re the So-and-Sos,” take a walk. And if, somehow, you must join, if it’s unavoidable, such as a union or a trade association, go ahead and join. But don’t participate; it will be your death. And if they tell you you’re not a team player, congratulate them on being observant."

-George Carlin



"The more I see, the less I know for sure."

- John Lennon

Enough with the "romances" already! Sheesh! More with the historical aspect!

Changeling - Philippa Gregory

Why does ever YA novel/series require at least one romantic entanglement? It's tiring.

 

I liked the setting, and some of the plot points, but most of the characters were grating (or should I say all the characters were grating most of the time), and the attempts at humor were painful.

 

Still, I will give the second book in the series a chance because of the setting. After that, who knows.
