Staybridge Review Klein, Tx
05 octubre 2015
I had to work with Klein ISD the next day and your hotel seemed the most appealing for the area and the value. Your place looked inviting and was well lighted, both inside and out.
Thank you for a great and comfortable stay. See next time.
Over all very good
30 septiembre 2015
Good property clean and easy access to NW Houston. We have stayed here a couple of times and will continue to do so.
Great hotel- HORRIBLE STAFF!!
28 septiembre 2015
Every single person that works that front desk is ghetto and rude. They charged the wrong credit card for the room (they were supposed to use my debit card given at the time of booking) but instead used my credit card for both the security deposit and the room. When I first called about it, Artesia would not accept any responsibility for running the wrong card originally and kept interrupting me. When I told her I would call corporate to deal with it and hung up, she then called me back FOUR TIMES!!!! I finally answered and told her to stop calling me, at which time she said she refunded my credit card and charged my debit card... but in reality she had refunded the money and also charged both cards again!!!! There was never a manager available to speak with when I called for three days, so I finally had to get corporate involved. I would never stay here again.
Home from home
28 septiembre 2015
This stay was the last of ten at the property in 2015 and was typical of the others. I spent 90 days at the Staybridge Willowbrook this year because it is very conveniently placed for HP's HQ on route 249 in NW Houston, but also because the place felt like home. The suite kitchen meant it was not necessary to find restaurants each night, and the evening socials also helped with this. The breakfast is well stocked particularly relative to price paid. The exercise room and particularly pool are pleasant and just right. It never felt crowded and the lobby area and Den provided extra space to relax. ALL the staff were very friendly, even exceeding the Texas norm and reasonable requests were quickly and efficiently met.

Darton College Baseball Swings Into National Polls
March 29, 2012
The Darton College Cavaliers ranked No. 12 nationally in a poll released by the NJCAA today - the first top-20 ranking in the baseball program's history - indicating a big step for the Cavs under their new head coach, Scot Hemmings.
"The guys have bought into a system and are executing it at a high rate of effectiveness," Hemmings said. "And the ranking is good for the program, no doubt about that. We're working with some big recruits – this should help sway them too."
The Cavs are hot, and the NJCAA knows it. They've won 17 of their last 19 ballgames, positioning them at the top of the highly competitive GCAA conference. Their current 25-8 record is the ninth best in the NJCAA, and they're 12-1 in conference play.
"We've come a long way - I think we're a complete 360 from where we were last year," sophomore pitcher Matt Aldrich said. "We put Darton's name back on the map."
Along with its current ranking, the Darton program can also boast of Aldrich's NJCAA-leading 81 strikeouts, and outfielder Kevin Manos, who leads the nation with 47 RBI.
"I think they're excited about the direction we're headed, but not satisfied with where we're at," Hemmings said of his team. "We now have to focus on not forgetting how we got here – through hard work, playing hard and executing our game plan."
The Cavs just returned Tuesday from a 17-4 win over conference-rival Andrew College, whom they'll play again at 6 p.m., Friday, and again in a double-header beginning at 1 p.m., Saturday. All three games will be at Darton.

Japanese Hatchet
Cuts cleanly and quickly
|Today's Price:$75.00
With its leather covered storage case (which has a belt loop) and its laminated steel blade construction, this is a traditional gardening tool that's terrific for cutting small branches. The thick back of the blade makes it unusually (and intentionally) heavy for its 6-1/2" length, and this translates into great cutting momentum when you are working. It chops like a dream.

Poor girlie, she really seemed like a sweet doll even with the excessive energy. I hope everything (especially for your sake) turns out well.
My parents had a a cat they swore was going piece meal, it lived to be 18 or so but by the time it got there it was missing a leg, part of the tail, an eye, and part of an ear. Sneaky's a toughie, she'll be annoying you for years to come.

We have actually taken our mattress and put it in the same room as the fire, which is the loungeroom so we could block off the back end of the house, because it is a big house, way to big for just the 2 of us, fortunately we have the room by the side of the lounge which is very big....not sure if you remember my big dining room lol, well now it is a dining room, study and loungeroom and there is still plenty of room.

This data set includes gas ratios in polar firn air: O2/N2, 15N/14N, 40Ar/N2, 40Ar/36Ar, 40Ar/38Ar, 84Kr/36Ar, 132Xe/36Ar, and 22Ne/36Ar. Investigators sampled air from the permeable snowpack (firn) layer at two sites: Siple Dome, Antarctica in 1996 and at the South Pole in 2001. They observed and modeled the processes of gravitational settling, thermal fractionation, and preferential exclusion of small gas molecules from closed air bubbles. The purpose of this study was to understand these physical processes, which affect the composition of bubbles trapped in ice. By measuring these gas ratios in the ancient air preserved in bubbles trapped in ice, researchers can determine past atmospheric composition and local temperature changes along with the relative timing and magnitude of such events.The data file is available in Microsoft Excel format. The research paper is available in PDF. Data and the research paper are available via FTP.

Brazil's Straw Hat project helps women leave abusive situations
Saudi, Iran and the 'war' over the Hajj stampede
Rob Reynolds | 15 Sep 2009 20:49 GMT | Politics, Business & Economy, US & Canada, United States
Here in Washington, the economic news is grim. A new government report says the number of people in the United States living in poverty increased by more than two million last year, to 39.8 million.
The official poverty rate jumped to an 11-year high, while household incomes fell across the board. Unemployment is currently at 9.7 per cent and increasing month by month.
This is the legacy of failed laissez-faire, anti-regulation, risk-encouraging economic policies established under George Bush, the former president.
And it is before this backdrop that Obama went to New York on Monday, to give a major speech on Wall Street calling for reform of the financial system on the unpleasant anniversary of the collapse of Lehman Brothers, a US investment bank.
Stimulus package Obama spent considerable time congratulating himself for measures he has already taken, and indeed he deserves credit for quick action to stave off a second Great Depression.
Swift passage of the $787 billion stimulus package applied an essential tourniquet to stop the haemorrhaging of jobs and bankruptcies. "Every credible economist, Democratic and Republican, said at the time we took office if we don't do something this could be a lot worse," Obama told the American TV programme '60 Minutes' on Sunday.
"It was a failure of responsibility that allowed Washington to become a place where problems – including structural problems in our financial system – were ignored rather than solved"
Barack Obama, US president
These days, many Republican politicians have taken up the refrain that "the stimulus isn't working - it's a failure".
On the contrary, almost all economists agree the stimulus is responsible for staving off a catastrophe and is an essential driver of a return to growth.
The decision to save General Motors and Chrysler - another move that evoked howls of protest from the right of the political spectrum - prevented a cascading collapse of what is left of the US manufacturing industry.
If the car companies had shut down, as Republican politicians did their best to make happen, the unemployment rate would today be far above 10 per cent. Their actions indicate Republicans and conservatives are hoping, praying, and actively working to ensure that the economy does not recover and instead becomes worse.
Protracted high unemployment will hurt Obama and the Democrats in the 2010 election. So it is quite clear that the opposition party's interest is in wrecking the economy even further. They did a pretty good job when in power.'Irresponsible' culture But while much has been done to save jobs in the midst of the worst recession in generations, little has changed in the reckless, risk-taking culture of Wall Street, the source of financial contagion that sickened the world. Obama is proposing the most ambitious overhaul of the financial system since the 1930s to promote transparency and accountability. To prevent big financial firms from deceiving and taking advantage of consumers, he wants to set up a financial consumer protection agency.
This agency would crack down on practices that get ordinary people into extraordinary financial trouble: for example, when credit card companies or mortgage lenders entice customers with extra-low 'teaser' interest rates, which then balloon to extortionate levels once the customer is locked into a contract. Prior to the crisis, financial firms like hedge funds and the notorious insurance company AIG took advantage of gaps, loopholes and lacunae in the outdated system of government oversight to engage in wildly risky behaviour involving exotic financial instruments, such as credit default swaps.
Obama wants to rearrange the regulatory architecture, giving more power to the Federal Reserve and other agencies, and establishing clear lines of authority. He would require banks to keep more capital on hand to withstand panics.
Republicans blamed Obama did not refrain from criticising the fecklessness of the Bush administration in allowing Wall Street to run wild.
"It was a failure of responsibility that allowed Washington to become a place where problems – including structural problems in our financial system – were ignored rather than solved," he said.
And he said other nations must work together closely to promote reforms. In addition to these practical steps, Obama had a moralising message for Wall Street bankers, brokers and arbitrageurs. "I want them to hear my words," Obama said. "We will not go back to the days of reckless behaviour and unchecked excess at the heart of this crisis, where too many were motivated only by the appetite for quick kills and bloated bonuses. Those on Wall Street cannot resume taking risks without regard for consequences, and expect that next time, American taxpayers will be there to break their fall." Obama's points were, as usual, eloquently presented. But he did not explicitly call for caps on bonuses and salaries for top bankers and executives. Without such restrictions, I am dubious about whether Wall Street high-rollers will do more than just shrug off the presidential lecture on responsibility.
The banking and brokerage lobbies are already pushing back against reform with public campaigns warning that more regulations will restrict consumer choice and choke off economic growth.
Those arguments will find a receptive audience in congress, which relies on rich campaign contributions from the banking, insurance and financial industries. And that's the real root of the economic excesses and inequities in the global financial system - the undue influence of corporate money in politics and public policy. Obama said nothing about that.

The most important tip of all is to do the campus visits in the first place. After all, there is only a limited amount of information that can be learned about a school from its Web site, view book, or mailed pamphlets. While holiday breaks and summer vacation are convenient, in order to get the best feel for a school, prospective students should try to visit colleges when students are on campus.
During campus tours, presentations and student panels, I found time after time that college students and admissions officers were barraged with questions whose answers can easily be found on the school's Web site. Information like statistics about a school's number of students or offered majors should be researched before visiting campus. Students should instead be asking questions about life on campus: what kinds of students attend the college; the prevalence of drugs and alcohol; what students do for fun; the school's political climate; the importance of athletics on campus, etc. - all questions that will help students better assess the college as an option for them, personally. Students should not be hesitant to ask their tour guide questions either - that is what they are there for. Ask about the campus facilities, the quality of food, how late places on campus are open, and if the campus has wireless Internet access. Sitting in the college's student center or campus coffee shop, and stopping to look at posted fliers, is certainly helpful to get an idea of the kinds of activities and functions going on around campus.
In addition to asking the right questions, students and parents should save extremely personal questions for after a formal presentation. I add this simply due to my pure annoyance at this practice. "If I'm a transfer student, and I have 40 credits..." Or, the infamous, "If my daughter has taken seven AP classes..." You begin to wonder if such questions have any purpose other than to allow parents to boast about their progeny's brilliant accomplishments.
During the process, students should think about what they want out of their college experience, before visiting. When listening to student or faculty presentations, students should try to discern whether the college is able to fulfill their own needs and goals, and whether it will nourish their personality and interests. Students should always carry a pad of paper with them to jot down noteworthy observations or questions that might arise. Also, something I am often guilty of, but which should certainly be avoided, is assessing the tour guide and not the college.
Students should always call ahead to see what kinds of opportunities will be available to them when they visit - is it possible to sit in on a class or stay overnight? Are there special visitation days for prospective students? Most colleges also require advance notice - sometimes two or three weeks in advance - for tours and information sessions, and especially for sitting in on a class.
I strongly suggest attending the information sessions offered before or after campus tours - I found these extremely helpful in clarifying what I had seen on the tour or preparing myself for what to look for. Additionally, visit the bookstore and the library, and try to see a dorm room - the smallest type if possible, in order to prepare yourself for the worst-case scenario (and hope for the best).
One of the most helpful aspects of the college visits for me is sitting in on a class. The two times I have done this, I have been able to really grasp the dynamic of the school's academic environment - the level of coursework, whether the learning atmosphere is competitive or laid-back, and a sense for the kinds of students and professors at the school. If you can't shadow a class, at least see a typical classroom. Many admissions officers also strongly advise prospective students to stay overnight with a current student, to better understand not just academics, but all aspects of the school atmosphere.
As secondary information, always leave extra travel time, wear comfortable clothing and shoes, and be prepared for unexpected changes in weather - I was forced to purchase an emergency umbrella when it started pouring at Northwestern.
On this last set of tours, my dad consistently reminded me (sometimes to my chagrin) to remember that there is no such thing as a perfect school. To the other extreme, students should not go on a tour with rose-colored glasses either. Though sometimes difficult, it is important to maintain a balanced outlook in assessing various schools. In the end, there is a place for everyone - probably three or four.

Sourced from marigold flowers, FloraGLO® Lutein is the world's leading lutein brand associated with healthy eyes and skin. FloraGLO is used as an ingredient in nutritional supplements, food and beverages as well as personal care products.
Lutein (loo'teen) is naturally deposited as a protective layer in the macula, a small spot in the back of the eye responsible for central vision. This layer, known as macular pigment, works like internal sunglasses inside your eyes protecting them from damaging light. Healthy macular pigment can improve your ability to react to bright flashes of light or see objects against a similar background – critical to driving at night or enjoying outdoor sports. To keep eyes healthy and protect them as they age, research indicates that people need 10 mg of lutein everyday through dietary sources and products containing lutein.
Press release: World-Renowned Carotenoid Scientist Joins Kemin
While lutein is widely recognized as an essential eye nutrient for its ability to filter damaging blue light and quench free radicals, research shows it can also enhance the look of the skin. Clinical research also shows that 10 mg of lutein per day can protect the skin against visible signs of aging caused by the sun and environmental exposure. When taken orally and/or applied topically, daily consumption of products containing FloraGLO Lutein demonstrate an increase in skin hydration, lipid content and elasticity, while decreasing skin lipid peroxidation and enhancing photoprotective activity.
Selected by leading manufacturers and researchers for its quality and established safety profile, FloraGLO is the most clinically researched lutein brand worldwide and the brand most trusted by doctors for eye health in the U.S.*

............but watch out for the lakers at trade deadline.
This scares me - that PHI might be so set on tanking, that they pull this off:
Gasol to PHI for T. Young, Turner and Hawes. They re-sign Turner, Hawes, N. Young, Meeks, Hill and Kelly.
They then draft Smart.
T. Young/Kelly
Hawes and Hill is NOT a bad team at all. Although, I hope it eats up all their cap space to take them out of the Love sweepstakes!

Cisco Type 7 Passwords
The built in 'cracker' isn't working at the moment but the process still stands. There are plenty of other sites/tools that can decrypt this type of password.
- Connect the console cable, power on the router and hit break a few times to enter monitor mode
- At the rommon prompt type confreg 0x2142 and hit enter
- Type i and hit enter to restart the router.
- When it has started up type enable to enter privileged mode
- Type copy start run and hit enter
- Type show run and look for an entry like this password 7 0235105A19005E3244
- Put the long number string into the top box on this page (ignore password 7)
- Hit Crack Password and marvel in your newly recovered password
- Go back to the router and type conf t to switch to global configuration mode
- Type config-register 0x2102 and hit enter
- Press Ctrl-Z and type reload then hit enter and your done.
Type 5 Passwords
Don't be fooled type 5 passwords can be cracked, it just takes a bit longer. You may have noticed an entry in your config that looked like this enable secret 5 $1$uWd7$maP6Byq6ETXegoZXG8vbZ0. This is a type 5 password.
- Get a copy of John the Ripper
- Create a text file with your hash in it, in the following format enable_secret_5:$1$uWd7$maP6Byq6ETXegoZXG8vbZ0
- Save the text file as pass.txt
- Assuming pass.txt is in the same folder as John type john-mmx.exe -inc:all pass.txt
- After a while depending on the length of the password you will/should be presented with the passwords.
Obviously that's how to do it in Windows but the Linux version is very similar.
Note: If you recognise the type 7 password from above then one of your old routers now belongs to me. Change your passwords because you've been owned.

"She decided, about a week ago, the best way to avoid significant distraction was to change her wedding plans and to get married in an unscheduled ceremony outside of Utah," he said, adding that the couple will go on an extended honeymoon in an undisclosed location.

The Associated Press says that Smart, 24, and Gilmour (who hails from Aberdeen, Scotland), met while doing missionary work in Paris.

Nick Jonas is wearing his heart on his sleeve on the brand-new Jonas Brothers track "Wedding Bells," which the JoBros performed for the first time Thursday night during their big reunion show at New York's Radio City Music Hall.
Taking a closer look at the lyrics, MTV News can't help but wonder if the song is about Nick's ex-girlfriend, Miley Cyrus, getting engaged to "Hunger Games" star Liam Hemsworth earlier this year. Nick's introduction of the song had us even more curious.
"We're in the process of recording a new album, which is both good and bad," Nick confessed, adding that the bad means he had to "dive into subjects that make us uncomfortable and write about them. … You have to write a song and apologize for it later. I don't think I've ever written a song that makes me as uncomfortable as this song does. Some things happened in the last year that affected me in that moment. … This song is called 'Wedding Bells.' "
While we might never truly know what was going on in Nick's head when he wrote the song, the brothers did tell MTV News that their next album gets much more personal than ever before. Until we hear the rest of the new music, let's break down some of the Miley-related clues on "Wedding Bells" to get to the bottom of this matrimonial mystery:
Clue #1
As the song opens, Nick shares a conversation he had with the mystery girl. "She says, 'Can you keep a secret?/ A ceremony's set for June/ I know it's a rush, but I just love him so much/ I hope that you can meet him soon.' " Sure, Miley and Liam didn't get married in June, but that is when the couple announced their engagement , making the "ceremony" reference a fitting stand-in for engagement. (Or perhaps the wedding is set for June 2013 — get ready, paparazzi helicopters!)
Clue #2
Niley (as they were dubbed) had a bit of an on-again, off-again relationship. They got back together one last time in 2009 , right before she met Hemsworth on the set of "The Last Song" that summer. So those make-ups and breakups might be what Jonas is referencing on the chorus when he sings a plea for one final reconciliation. "I don't want to love, if it's not you/ I don't want to hear the wedding bells bloom/ Maybe we can try one last time/ But I don't want to hear the wedding bells chime."
Clue #3
The biggest smoking gun in this tune is when Nick croons, "If you recall our anniversary falls/ Eleven nights into June." Any Niley fan should know that happens to be the date the former couple met for the first time, as documented in Cyrus' autobiography"Miles to Go." In the book, Miley writes, "I remember the exact date, June 11, 2006. It was the day I met my first love. Let's call him Prince Charming. I don't want to use his name, because this isn't about who he is or what I meant to him. It's about how I felt and what our relationship meant to me."
Do you think "Wedding Bells" is about Miley Cyrus? Tell us in the comments!

Sansone Plans $23 Million Makeover for Boulevard Mall
By Alex Girda, Associate Editor
Sansone Cos. plans a $23 million overhaul of the Boulevard Mall in a bid to restore the 49-year-old retail center to its former prominence. The multi-phase renovation will start this summer and is scheduled for completion in 2015. Details of the plans follow Sansone's $55 million acquisition of the property late last year..
The renovation plan recently cleared a hurdle when it won approval from the city planning commission. Opened in 1965, the 1.2 million-square-foot center was a major force in the local retail market through the early 1980s.
As part of the overhaul, the property's first in more than 20 years, Sansone will refresh the tenant roster with a variety of new retailers. Other highlights will include a farmers market offering about 70 vendors, valet parking, free Wi-Fi, as well as a food court upgrade that would add a number of new dining plus four wide-screen plasma TVs.
Also in the works is a redesigned exterior with a new facade that will front Maryland Parkway and its corridor, plus new storefronts, awnings and landscaping.Tags: Architecture/Design, Commercial, Developers, Development, Finance/Investment, Investors, Las Vegas Lead Story, Las Vegas retail center, Local, Owners, Policy, Professional, renovation, retail, Sansone Companies, The Boulevard Mall

My husband is amazing. He is a super hard worker. He works long days and weeks. His job is demanding and stressful. I am so thankful he goes out for us as a family and works hard so I can stay home and homeschool my children.
Each morning, I strive to make him breakfast. Most of the time it is the same, but I am thankful that he isn't too picky.
He loves a bagel with cream cheese and turkey and his Spark. He hates coffee and loves me in spite of my love for coffee.
If your husband is goes off to work, this is such an expression of love for them. Even your children can make him something yummy and easy that he can take with him out the door.
If he leaves too early, perhaps a snack bag, or a note of love. Let's make sure we are loving on our husbands, letting them know how much we love them and appreciate them.
Do you make your husband breakfast in the morning? Does he eat at home with you or on the go?

Audie Award Finalist, Teens, 2014
Bono met his wife in high school, Park says.
So did Jerry Lee Lewis, Eleanor answers.
I'm not kidding, he says.
You should be, she says, we're 16.
What about Romeo and Juliet?
Shallow, confused, then dead.
I love you, Park says.
Wherefore art thou, Eleanor answers.
I'm not kidding, he says.
You should be.
Set over the course of one school year, in 1986, this is the story of two star-crossed misfits - smart enough to know that first love almost never lasts, but brave and desperate enough to try. When Eleanor meets Park, you'll remember your own first love - and just how hard it pulled you under.
©2013 Rainbow Rowell (P)2013 Listening Library
Short, Simple, No Spoilers
"E + P 4-ever!"
Finally, after wading through lots of simple, boring teen books, this little gem arrives. Without my Entertainment Weekly Bible, I wouldn't have discovered this fantastic teen love story, coming to a movie screen soon near you.
Eleanor is back with her Mom, step-Dad and four siblings in a miserable household attending a new school in 1986, finding an unlikely friend in Park. Both points of view shine light on the loneliness, isolation, bullying, and the dare to hope and connect in the world of teenage angst. When Eleanor thinks she's fat, Park describes her as beautiful. Couldn't wait to hear what the other had to say about the same situation.
This book is well-written, almost like Rowell popped the top on the teen brain with all the first, raw emotions spilling out into a funny, lugubrious, intense singular story line with the perfect ending. Just bought his newer book, "Fangirl" and am excited to see Rebecca Lowman is narrating as well. She and Sunil Malhotra were fantastic in "Eleanor and Park". This was an excellent read.
Lover of the magic of movies | Fan of risk takers and believers | Indulger in games and imagination | Reader of words that touch souls
"Hanging on every lyric, and every word."
I loved this book. Such real characters, a realistic yet frightening thread weaving the plot together at the seam, a legitimate love story (involving high schoolers, who knew.) it was another "Perks of a Being a Wallflower" for me in that had that coming-of-age feel with the dark under note that I kept thinking I knew the history and the stakes but that made me feel it all the more when 'mostly' everything was reveled (because honestly, in real life, no one really knows what's going on with a person right in front of us unless they say the words.)
I am an avid listener. I listen between 75-100 hours per month on my iPhone: 60% fiction to 40% non-fiction.
"Pure Heartstrings -- A Great Story"
This novel's plot was not what I was expecting -- but tuned out to be more than I could have hoped for. It is a fresh story, with a steady plot-line that you won't guess. There is something in this story for everyone. Rowell manages to tell this teen story without resorting to over dramatic devices. There is plenty of tension and conflict and the story raises as many why's as it offers answers. This book appeals to folks of all ages. It helps you remember first love, so it does appeal to the romantics in all of us.
The story is told both form Eleanor's and Parks perspectives in alternating points of view which enhances the story. Often, this device can be distracting; but not in this novel. There are many nerves that get jangled as the story unfolds. I highly recommend you read this wonderful story.
Tell me a story
This book has terrible language! So if that is something that bothers you, you should skip this one. It starts out with Park seeing a girl with red hair and wondering if it's Eleanor. After finishing the book I'm glad the author put that part in because it hints that it might not end the way I wanted it to. I like how we get to see things from both Eleanor & Park's point of view. Both narraters did a great job. Park is such an amazing character! These two end up falling hard for eachother, but the love story that really got to me was the love between Park's mom and dad and in turn their love for Park. I feel like they really tried to accept Park's choices even if they didn't really understand them. I loved this book! And while it doesn't end exactly the way I wanted, I found the ending hopeful.
Lawyer, reader, writer, performer. Just love listening to books and talking about it!
"Best Such Book Since Fault in Our Stars"
Warning: you are going to want to read this from cover to cover. What a profound young love story, which raises so many great questions. Why do we read Romeo and Juliet? Is young love, against all the odds, always doomed? Who / what are the Montagues and Capalets of today (or even if the 80s in this book)? Why do opposites attract? Do you have to conform to society's rules? What would you do for love? What would you do for survival?
Eleanor is chubby and has red hair. Lots of red hair. Enough so that she is quickly dubbed Big Red at her new highschool. Eleanor's dad is selfish and absentee. Her mom's husband is scary and abusive, and so mom can't / doesn't help Eleanor, even with such simple needs as clothing or toothbrushes. Eleanor isn't "nice" -life hasn't given her that chance- but there is something about her - like the way she was able to read that poem in English her first day. She is smart and unique, and beautiful just as she is.
Park couldn't be more opposite. His parents are actually still in love, and though they have their moments, they love him and are supportive and somehow pretty wise. Park is cool and even exotic looking, taking after his Korean mother. Park is into music and constantly makes tapes of his favorite songs to listen to, while reading his comic magazines.
Park has a whole seat on the bus and, not without regret, is the only one who allows Eleanor to sit. Soon he realizes that she is reading his comics with him.
Now, see, you do want to know what happens next.
"Must Listen"
Charming, Funny, and Heartbreaking
Initially, I thought I wasn't going to like them. The story starts off subdued, but after an hour, I was in love with their narration. The dual narratives in this book are really great, as they let you get to know both Eleanor and Park, and the dual narrators really helped to emphasize the differences.
Sunil Malhotra makes Park's parents so much more vibrant (I contend they are the best YA parents I've ever read). I didn't LOVE his version of Eleanor's voice, but it worked.
Rebecca Lowman does an amazing Eleanor AND an amazing Park. I didn't LOVE her version of Park's mom, but again, it worked.
Yes. And I have listened to it twice, since.
I guess I'm a baby...I just love to be read to.
"Good Book - Horrible Ending"
I actually went to Barnes and Noble to look at the actual ending of this book to make sure there wasn't something wrong with audible download. Towards the end everything fell apart...large gaping holes in the story line and lots of questions unanswered and not in a good way. I loved everything about all of the characters and was so interested in what happened to them and it never pays off. The author goes right up to the edge of the cliff but never jumps off....ugh so frustrating.
"So much fun...LOVED LOVED LOVED IT!"
I cried A LOT!
After hearing from so many people who loved this book and after reading John Green's awesome review of Eleanor & Park, I was really looking forward to reading this book.
First of all, I am quite pissed off with the ending. There was something that I was waiting, and Waiting, and WAITING for that I thought would happen sometime throughout the entire book, and then something happens in the very end that only "implies" that this particular thing "might have" happened. BUT I wanted Rainbow Rowell to SPELL IT OUT!!!! I want to know what those three friggin' words were on that dang post card. I have my hopes about what they mean but, based on this particular character, her actions are not always what you really expect or hope for.
OK…I have a lot of emotions over this book. I think I was a little guarded through a lot of the book because I was constantly bracing myself for something awful to happen. And yes, something awful does happen and, even though I was trying to prepare myself for the worst, I didn't think it would happen like that…so I was all thrown off. You want to know if I cried? Yep!!! I cried…a lot. But it was all worth it…and it would be even more worth it if Rainbow would actually tell us what's on that post card. *sigh*
What I loved most about this book is how well the characters were put together. First, there are Park's totally hilarious parents who seem to be making out all the time in every corner of the book. And then there are the all-around horrific parents of Eleanor who make you want to climb right into the book and give Eleanor a giant hug. There's also the change in Park's personality from the beginning of the book to the end, and then there's Eleanor who seems like she doesn't care what people think about her on the outside but, on the inside, she's ALL messed up. And last there are those characters that ended up surprising me at the end of the book! Loved it!
This is a very quick read that takes you through a lot of emotions, but the best part is the very fun, intense romance that seems like it should be totally awkward, but is OH!!! SO PERFECT!
"Not just a story of first love"
This is a fantastic story. The dialogue is captivating and the narrators did an amazing job bringing the story to life. I've listened to books where I just wished the voice was different because if I was reading it to myself, it would sound different and deserved to sound different. Not so with this story.
But this is not a simple story. Eleanor lives in a dangerous household with an abusive step father, a powerless mother, a biological father who is also a loser and four younger siblings who are needy and just as trapped as Eleanor. Park, who other reviewers also call a misfit, is a product of a loving, stable home life one block away. He is a typical teenager wondering how he fits in. Yes he's part Asian, and his father flips out when he takes to wearing eyeliner, but his parents support and love him in all the right ways.
A touching, hold your breath story with enchanting prose and dialogue. I loved this audio book.
"Maybe I'm the misfit in this story"
Oh, my – how do I begin? Well, first, let me say that I haven't read a YA book in a while. I'm climbing the bookish equivalent of Mount Everest this year – aka making my way through the A Song of Ice and Fire series by George R. R. Martin and it is brutal. So maybe I went into this book not sure what to expect? I don't know what happened. I had hopes of romance and swooning and first love a la Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins, but that's not what I got. Instead I got this amazing boy whom I adored and a girl that annoyed me.
The description says that you'll remember your own first love, and while it did have moments that reminded me of what it's like to fall in love for the first time, I just couldn't connect with Eleanor. Was she in a bad situation? Yes, but in times like those, you either let it make you or break and I feel like she let it break her. Again, yes, she's 16 and "helpless" but all I'm saying is that 16 is old enough to call the police and not give a second thought to "Oh, is my mom going to be mad that I'm doing something that she as 40 something year old can't?"
The saving grace for me in this book is Park – not only the character but his POV (the book is alternating POVs). Without Park, this book would have probably been a Did Not Finish. Park – my sweet, sweet boy – WHY do you even like Eleanor? She pushes you away, is an emotional rollercoaster and disaster, and has got to be the most self-deprecating character I've read in a while – she puts Edward Cullen from Twilight to shame.
And speaking of favorite characters, I've got to say my overall favorite character (and the one I think is most like me) was Park's mom. She's an Avon lady who loves makeup, nails, and hair – AND she always wants to make other people over.
I will say that I really enjoyed Rainbow Rowell's writing style and I'm reading her next book, Fangirl, right now and absolutely loving it. So it's just this particular book that didn't do it for me. Also, the narrator for Eleanor on the audiobook was not the best so that probably played into things a bit.
I put this book on my Everyone Loved But Me shelf as there are no less than TWENTY 5 star reviews from my friends on GoodReads. Maybe I'm the misfit in this story.
