- The tent has two separate inner tents, each suitable for 3 persons.
- In both inner tents, useful pockets and clips can be found to make it easier to keep things in order inside the tent.
- With high vestibule under the dome, a living space and a utility room can be created, especially for the time of bad weather. By detaching one of the inner tents from the tent, the area of the vestibule can be enlarged. Additional space for storing large luggage - bicycles, motorcycles, surfboard, kayak single etc. is then created.
- Both inner tents are equipped with mosquito nets located at the entrance.
- Ventilation holes prevent excessive water vapour condensation on the inner surface of the flysheet..
- The guy ropes are in a bright colour; with that colour they may be spotted more easily and so, it is easier to avoid stumbling at dusk.
- All flysheet seams are laminated.
- With unique solutions used in the Fjord Nansen tents, tents are pitched smoothly and quickly. Pitching the tent is intuitive; with colourful tips of the individual frame sections, you will avoid getting confused. The tent can be pitched by fixing the frame in the upper sleeves and attaching the bottom of the flysheet to it using Fast Click System stakes. A dome is formed, to which the inner tent should be attached in the inside. This can be done even during heavy rain; the inner tent will remain dry. Similarly, when folding the tent – if you first fold the inner tent, you can prevent from getting it wet. And for those who do not like to waste their time: the inner tent can be permanently attached to the flysheet; what is then pitched and folded is the whole tent.
- Large vestibule between the inner tents has three independent entrances: 2 side entrances and one front entrance. They are available after disconnecting the smaller inner tent. Roof of each entrance can be raised and by mounting them onto poles, a veranda can be created (2 veranda poles are included in the set along with the tent). Flysheet entrances are zipped with TH zippers that are covered with extra rain strips, protected by Velcro fasteners.
- The tent supplied with: compression bag, two poles for setting out the veranda..

Were the Feds involved in insider trading with GM?

The final numbers are in, and according to Reuters, we, the taxpayers, lost $11.2 billion on the General Motors bailout.
However, the bigger question is if Obama officials who were involved in the oversight of operations at GM, were aware of the decade old faulty ignition switch problem that has created a new, gigantic liability for the automaker, prior to dumping the GM shares on the market?
It seems hard to believe that Obama Administration officials were unaware of the problem and the liability associated with it, given their purported direct involvement in the running of the company.
And now that the stock has been sold to unsuspecting saps, the company is being subjected to an alphabet soup of agencies conducting investigations including the Justice Department, various auto safety regulators and even the Securities and Exchange Commission.
A private investor in a similar circumstance would be in big trouble facing probable jail time. After all, Martha Stewart went to the pokey for a lot less.
However, it is unlikely that deposed Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner will be held accountable, as we know he is too unskilled at even the basics of personal finance (can't figure Turbo Tax out) to know that a massive recall for a product that caused more than thirty deaths would be a bad thing for a company's stock price.
The same federal government that went hard after Toyota on trial lawyer driven accusations about sticking gas pedals, apparently was unaware that the company that they were the largest shareholder was concealing a much more deadly and real problem.
But now that the stock has been dumped, the current shareholders who should have felt assured that the auto giant had a clean bill of healthy based upon the federal government's ownership and direct oversight find themselves holding the bag.
In other auto news, the Toyota Corporation announced that they are moving their U.S. headquarters to Plano, Texas, abandoning their decades old commitment to the state of California, and a state of the art headquarters building. Just a few years earlier, Toyota officials had assured everyone that they were California lifers, after Nissan moved their headquarters from the Los Angeles area to Nashville, Tennessee.
Automotive News reports that the suburban city of Torrance will lose approximately $1.2 million a year in tax revenues due to the move.
With both Nissan and Toyota gone, one wonders how long it will take for the Honda Corporation to abandon Torrance as well.
The coastal corridor south of the Los Angeles International Airport once headquartered many of the defense and auto industry giants. Now towns like El Segundo, which recently lost Raytheon Space and Airborne Systems to Texas, are struggling to make up both the lost revenue and the prestige of being home to some of the world's largest corporations.
Yet, as those local towns suffer, the engineers, accountants and other high skilled workers who are having to choose between moving with their job or finding a new one in a job market where fewer employers need their expertise are the real victims.
At one point, California was known as the golden state. Now in a perverse kind of reverse alchemy, the state's politicians are turning that gold into lead. At some point the citizens may figure out that elections have consequences, but it is more likely that they will never connect the dots on why a company would even consider moving from the beautiful California coastline to the flat, dreary town of Plano.
Rick Manning (@rmanning957) is vice president of public policy and communications for Americans for Limited Government. He is a native southern Californian, and has been to Plano, Texas on multiple occasions.

This year's XpertHR survey of stress management is based on feedback from 151 employers on the steps they take to manage, prevent and reduce stress among employees in the worplace.
This XpertHR report finds that line manager training is the most important type of stress management training, although only a minority of employers provide such training or undertake risk assessments.
The latest XpertHR research reports on the steps employers are taking to prevent and manage stress at work, including sickness absence measures and occupational health support.
IRS research examines the steps that 98 employers are taking to manage stress-related sickness absence, including return-to-work interviews and offering flexible working options.
Latest IRS research examines the steps employers are taking to manage and reduce work-related stress, including occupational health provision and counselling.
Equipping line managers with good people management skills is considered the most important type of training intervention for dealing with stress at work, according to this IRS survey.
More than 100 employers share their experience of stress management in this IRS survey, which highlights the measures used to reduce the impact of work stress, against the background of growing pressure among the national workforce as the economic crisis deepens.

This is the main street of the Old Town and is pedestrianised. It is wide but not all that long. Paved in white, shiny stone and lined with buildings of uniform height, it is lovely. Most visitors enter the Old Town via Pile Gate, which leads directly on to Stradun
Placa (stradun) is the main street in the old town. mix of touristic shops and restaurants.most attractions are along the placa or very close to. perpendicular are photogenic alleys which leads to the walls
This is the main avenue when you enter the city at Pile Gate (by the busy bus terminus), which is very impressive, thankfully quite wide & very busy at peek times with tourists off the cruise ships.
There are plenty of things to see and do, it's also lovely at night, just be mindful if wet as the well worn...
A beautiful plaza of shops and restaurants is found here. This is am must do if you are visiting Dubrovnik.
What attracted me first was the limestone paving. It really gives a feeling of being in a City built so many many years ago. Stores line the street, and this is probably the widest street in the Old City.
Lot of experiences along the way - we saw a lady with parrots allowing people to take pictures with them -...
At the northern end of the street on the right hand side we found mojito flavoured ice cream which was the most amazing flavour for a warm day. There are others (and the other half had tried most of them during our 4 day stay) but the mojito was incredible!
We walked this street many times during the three days we spent in Dubrovnik. It is the main street in the Old Town. Many shops, restaurants and historic sites are either on the street or just off of it. We recommend visiting either before June or after mid-September to be able to enjoy the Old Town without feeling extremely crowded...
Whether you enter from the sea, or the main gate, you will be in the Placa, the main street of old Dubrovnik, and it is a great place to start.
It is crowded, but so is everywhere else, but you get a real sense of the layout of the city by walking the thoroughfare.
Stradun is the pearl of the old town. It is really amazing, also in the night when it is all lighted up.
Take a walk at this main street in the night while it's not that crowded. And basically if you get lost in the city, jus head to this street and you're back in the track :D

MCCAY ET UX., APPELLANTS,v.PHILADELPHIA ELECTRIC COMPANY
Appeal from judgment of Court of Common Pleas of Delaware County, No. 2238 of 1965, in case of Joseph S. McCay and Jean O. McCay, his wife v. Philadelphia Electric Company.
Malcolm B. Petrikin, with him Leo A. Hackett and Fronefield, deFuria and Petrikin, for appellants.
J. H. Ward Hinkson, with him Hinkson & Cantlin, for appellee.
Jones, C. J., Eagen, O'Brien, Roberts, Pomeroy, Nix and Manderino, JJ. Opinion by Mr. Justice Nix.
[ 447 Pa. Page 491]
Between two and two-thirty in the afternoon of August 22, 1963, the appellant, Jean O. McCay, was operating an automobile owned by her employer, Community Nursing Service, on MacDade Boulevard in Folsom, Delaware County. It was raining at the time, and the road surface was wet.
Several blocks west of where the accident occurred, Mrs. McCay had turned right onto MacDade Boulevard, which was two lanes for travel in each direction, and had then driven eastwardly in the lane nearest the curb. She remained in that lane until she passed the Swarthmore Avenue intersection when she turned on
[ 447 Pa. Page 492]
her left-turn signal and moved from the outside to the inside eastbound traffic lane of MacDade Boulevard. Her left-turn signal remained on continuously as she proceeded through the next intersection, Folsom Avenue, and throughout the length of the next block and halfway into the Rutledge Avenue intersection. At this time, after having traveled approximately 450-500 feet with her left-turn signal on, Mrs. McCay brought her car to a complete stop in the middle of the Rutledge Avenue intersection.
From Swarthmore Avenue to Rutledge Avenue a Philadelphia Electric Company automobile had been following Mrs. McCay at a distance of approximately 25 to 30 feet. A Freihofer delivery truck, in turn, was following the Philadelphia Electric Company car at a distance of 35 to 40 feet. All three vehicles were maintaining the same speed of approximately 25 miles per hour.
When Mrs. McCay stopped in the intersection she was hit from the rear by the Philadelphia Electric automobile. The Freihofer truck then struck the rear of the Philadelphia Electric vehicle, but not with such impact as to cause a second collision with Mrs. McCay's car. Although there was no testimony by the driver of the Philadelphia Electric automobile, since he had died from causes unrelated to the accident prior to the trial, the truck driver testified that Mrs. McCay's stop was sudden. Mrs. McCay stated that she gradually slowed down before coming to a complete stop.
At no time had appellant noticed the Philadelphia Electric automobile following her. She admitted that she had never looked into the rear-view mirror as she was about to stop; that she never made any check of any kind of the traffic following her; and that had she looked and seen the Philadelphia Electric automobile closely behind her, she could have safely continued through the intersection without stopping.
[ 447 Pa. Page 493]
After the accident, Mrs. McCay told a police officer that she was "not injured or hurt in any way." Record, vol. 2, at 186a. The car was fully operable and all damage was repaired at a total cost of $41.15. Subsequently, she complained of severe headaches and a soreness in the area of her neck and shoulders. Mrs. McCay consulted an Orthopedic Specialist who prescribed medication and a collar. Ultimately, she had to undergo two operations, one on her cervical spine and another which consisted of a lumbar fusion.
Suit was instituted by the appellants for recovery by the wife-appellant for pain and suffering, loss of earnings and permanent impairment of earning power; by the husband-appellant for compensation for past and future medical expenses and loss of consortium.
At the conclusion of a six-day trial, the jury, after deliberating an hour and five minutes, returned a verdict in favor of the appellee. Appellants' attorney moved for a new trial, which motion was dismissed by order of the Court of Common Pleas of Delaware County sitting en banc. An appeal to this Court followed.
The first assignment of error raises the interesting question of the nature of the causal relationship between the plaintiff's negligence and the happening of the accident that is required to bar recovery. In Crane v. Neal, 389 Pa. 329, 332-33, 132 A.2d 675, 677-78 (1957), this Court specifically held that a trial judge commits reversible error in charging a jury that a plaintiff's negligence would not bar his recovery unless it was a proximate cause of the accident.*fn1 In that case it
[ 447 Pa. Page 494]
was stated that "[a]lthough broader language may be found in a few cases, 'There is not the slightest doubt [under the law of Pennsylvania] that a plaintiff is guilty of contributory negligence and cannot recover if his negligence contributed in any degree, however slight, to the injury.'" 389 Pa. at 332-33, 132 A.2d at 677 (footnote omitted) (citations omitted).
No statement could be more erroneous. The doctrine of "slightest degree" is not, nor has it ever been, the correct statement of Pennsylvania law as to the necessary causal relationship between plaintiff's negligence and the resultant injury. See Cebulskie v. Lehigh Valley R. R. Co., 441 Pa. 230, 233, 272 A.2d 171, 173 (1971); Argo v. Goodstein, 438 Pa. 468, 481, 265 A.2d 783, 789-90 (1970); Hamilton v. Fean, 422 Pa. 373, 378, 221 A.2d 309, 312 (1966); Brazel v. Buchanan, 404 Pa. 188, 192-93, 171 A.2d 151, 154-55 (1961); Geelen v. Pennsylvania R. R. Co., 400 Pa. 240, 248, 161 A.2d 595, 600 (1960); Kasanovich v. George, 348 Pa. 199, 202, 34 A.2d 523, 525 (1943). The rules which determine the causal relation between the plaintiff's negligence and the injury are the same as those determining the causal relation between defendant's negligent conduct and the injury sustained by others. There is no reason in law or in logic which would dictate a distinction between these two situations.*fn2 In both instances it was necessary to find that the negligence was the
[ 447 Pa. Page 495]
proximate cause of the accident. That is, if the defendant's negligence was not the proximate cause of the injury then he cannot be held accountable, and likewise if plaintiff's negligence was not a proximate cause it will not bar his recovery.
We agree with the statement of Justice O'Brien in Cebulskie v. Lehigh Valley R.R. Co., 441 Pa. at 234, 272 A.2d at 173: "Those cases which seem to imply that the 'slightest degree' test is in conflict with the proximate cause test [citations omitted] confuse the meaning of 'proximate cause'. Proximate cause does not refer to a degree of negligence. It describes a kind of causation, the kind to which legal responsibility attaches". Those cases following the Crane "slightest degree" test failed to distinguish slight negligence from slight contribution. The "slightest degree" test properly applies to the degree of negligence and is but a reaffirmation of Pennsylvania's long standing refusal to accept any theory of comparative negligence. To eliminate any further confusion in this area we specifically overrule Crane v. Neal.*fn3 The correct statement of the law is that a plaintiff cannot recover if his own negligence, however slight, contributes to the happening of the accident in a proximate way.
[ 447 Pa. Page 496]
In the instant case, appellants maintain that the trial court's instruction on contributory negligence was error. The applicable portion of the lower court's instruction to the jury on contributory negligence was as follows: "Any plaintiff who is guilty of contributory negligence cannot recover under the law of this State, no matter how negligent the defendant may have been. If a plaintiff was guilty of negligence which contributed Page 496} to the happening of his own injury in any degree, however slight it may have been, he cannot prevail in a suit for damages arising from that accident. The test is whether the act or acts alleged as constituting negligence contributed in any degree to the production of the injury." Record, Vol. 2, at 248a (emphasis added). Although this portion of the charge could possibly be interpreted to suggest an adherence to the erroneous "slightest degree" test, we believe that when reviewed in its entirety the trial court's charge to the jury on contributory negligence was in compliance with Pennsylvania law. It is important to note that immediately after explaining contributory negligence and the appropriate burdens of proof, the trial court charged the jury with respect to the distinction between "proximate cause" and "remote cause". Although the charge was phrased in reference to defendant's negligence, its positioning immediately following a description of plaintiff's conduct left a clear implication that plaintiff's negligence must be a proximate cause. This is reinforced by the fact that proximate cause had previously been discussed with reference to defendant's negligence.
Further information with respect to the causal relationship which must exist between any contributory negligence on the part of the appellant and the happening of the accident was presented to the jury when the court affirmed appellee's fourth and fifth Points for Charge. In both instances the jury was told that contributory negligence on the part of Mrs. McCay would serve as a bar to recovery only if such negligence "had a direct causal relationship to the accident." Record, Vol. 2, at 273a, 275a. In summary, we find that the trial court effectively charged the jury on the issue of contributory negligence.*fn4
[ 447 Pa. Page 497]
Appellants also argue that the trial judge committed prejudicial error requiring the granting of a new trial when he allowed opposing counsel to question Mrs. McCay concerning a prior rear-end automobile accident. Initially, plaintiffs' objection to this line of inquiry was sustained. However, after the wife-plaintiff's testimony with respect to her pre-existing physical condition, the trial judge permitted the defendant to inquire into her prior accident. It is apparent that Mrs. McCay's testimony developed an issue as to the true origin of the injuries which formed the basis of her present complaints.
To begin with, Mrs. McCay admitted to the police officer on the scene that she was not hurt in any way. On direct examination, Mrs. McCay stated that in November of 1958, she had suffered a herniated lumbar disc for which she received treatment, but it was emphasized that she had completely recovered at least eight months before the accident in question. However, during cross-examination Mrs. McCay admitted that she had received 187 chiropractic treatments following the 1958 herniation between November 11, 1960 and May 15, 1963, which was only three months prior to this accident. Another conflict as to the origin of her present difficulties arose when she stated on direct examination that her present complaints of pain in her lower back and legs originated with symptoms that developed within a month or so after the accident in 1963; yet, she had testified under oath at a hearing before a Workmen's Compensation Referee on December 12, 1966, that these symptoms had first appeared in March of 1965.
It was further revealed that when Mrs. McCay went to Dr. DePalma for the operation on her cervical
[ 447 Pa. Page 498]
spine in August of 1965, she told him nothing about her earlier back problems. Even in February of 1966, when she secured Dr. DePalma as a witness in this matter and finally told him of her previously existing back problem, Mrs. McCay did not mention the 187 chiropractic treatments she had received. It was also brought out on cross-examination that between the time the instant accident occurred and the time of trial, Mrs. McCay was being treated by Dr. J. Hubert Conner, who was also a medical witness for appellants at the trial. Yet during this entire period she never discussed with him the conditions relating to the prior back complaints.
In light of these revelations, it is apparent that the trial judge properly exercised his discretion in allowing defense counsel to inquire into the prior automobile accident. Mrs. McCay testified that the accident in question had caused serious injury although a very similar incident a few months earlier had not injured her at all. The jury was entitled to consider this prior accident since it bears directly on the credibility to be given her testimony regarding the severe consequences she claims to have resulted from this very slight rearend collision. A real issue of fact as to the true origin of the present difficulties was involved and evidence of the prior accident was relevant.
Finally, counsel for appellants finds the verdict to be "shocking and so against the law and evidence that it can only be accounted for on the basis of confusion in the jury's mind brought about by the inadequate, misleading and prejudicial charge of the trial judge." Brief for Appellants at 10. Upon a reading of the entire charge we find that such a conclusion is unwarranted.
In support of their argument appellants isolate portions of the trial judge's charge and contend that
[ 447 Pa. Page 499]
such excerpts clearly establish the prejudicial nature of the charge. However, in reviewing a trial judge's charge the proper test is not whether certain portions taken out of context appear erroneous. As this Court recently stated in another collision case: "As in all cases questioning the accuracy of a charge to the jury, we must not take the challenged words or passage out of the context of the whole charge, but must look to the charge in its entirety, against the background of the evidence in the particular case, to determine whether or not error was committed and whether that error was prejudicial to the complaining party." Whitner v. Lojeski, 437 Pa. 448, 454, 263 A.2d 889, 892 (1970). See also, Wilson v. Penna. R. R. Co., 421 Pa. 419, 219 A.2d 666 (1966); Sherman v. Manufacturers Light and Heat Co., 389 Pa. 61, 132 A.2d 255 (1957).
Appellants contend that the charge to the jury was prejudicial for three reasons. First, appellants would have us hold that without a specific request the court should have instructed that, where plaintiff in a motor vehicle collision case establishes a prima facie case of negligence against the defendant, the burden is on defendant to come forward with exculpatory evidence. Also with respect to burden of proof, appellants argue that by affirming the defendants fourth and fifth Points for Charge, the court in effect placed upon Mrs. McCay the burden of proving her freedom from contributory negligence. They maintain that such instruction in the absence of the instruction on the defendant's burden of proof was tantamount to a directed verdict for defendant. Lastly, appellants suggest that the trial court's instruction on the "sudden emergency" doctrine misled the jury to the prejudice of Mrs. McCay because there was no specific instruction on Philadelphia Electric Company's duty to prove the existence of an emergency beyond their driver's control.
[ 447 Pa. Page 500]
From a reading of the trial court's charge in its entirety, we conclude that it was fair and correct. The record reveals that in every instance the law was adequately stated and both counsel were given sufficient opportunity to request further instructions or to take exceptions if they so desired. Counsel for appellants neglected to ask for any additional instructions on burden of proof*fn5 when he had the opportunity to do so, and in the absence of a specific request for further clarification of the duties involved we believe the instructions given were sufficient.
Judgment affirmed.

Tolles Portrait über Johnny Campbell, Mr Baja 1000.
Who is the greatest Off-Road Racer America has ever produced?
To those who really know how to measure such an accomplishment the answer is easy - Johnny Campbell.
The Baja 1,000 is the oldest, longest and toughest Off-Road race in the world. Less tame than the Wild West, racers in the Baja must overcome mountains, deserts, forests, rivers, wild animals, banditos and fierce competition at speeds of more than 100 miles per hour for 1,000 miles just to finish. To be victorious is superhuman and to win again and again is almost impossible. Many consider the Baja 1,000 the greatest test of man and machine in the world. And Johnny Campbell is the undisputed "King of Baja"; residents of the famous peninsula call him "El Campion." Johnny Campbell has won the Baja 1,000 a record 11 times!
But this is more than the story of a great racer, this is a story of a boy who overcame personal tragedy, who followed a calling and navigated his way to become a great champion who literally took, the road less travelled. Join us as we follow Johnny and his incredible life and career through the eyes of family, friends, and competitors. This is an intimate look inside the continuous test of will, mind, body and faith that it takes to be a True Champion.
Laufzeit ca. 60 Minuten.

Totally immersed in the world of The Twelve and in tears by the end. Well structured, with good characters, action sequences, a few ridiculous coincidences (but you want those so you don't care a whit). Delicious, and I don't just mean the blood.
Originally posted here
This is the middle book in The Passage trilogy and I have to admit, The Twelve lacks the same magic that was abundant in The Passage.
The book started tantalisingly, the reader is given a short summary of the events of the first book in the form of a future document called The Book of Twelves, then there is a short chapter set five years onward from events from the last book which focuses on some of the fates of the main characters. But then, too suddenly the narrative switches to a new group of characters back at the beginning of the outbreak, year zero; before going back to the storyline five years onward from the last book. Don't get me wrong I liked the time jump, it was all very interesting, it was the last third of the book that seemed a little messy.
I was left feeling confused and unsure of what was happening at points as the narrative becomes super weird with an over saturation of character transformations with dream sequences. I'm thinking particularly of Amy here. I have no idea what on earth is going on with Amy or Alicia for that matter.
The dystopian Homeland was really well done and despite all of the gory violence I really enjoyed that part particularly. The Twelve perplex me though, as does Zero. I still do not fully understand what their significance is. It gets a little too 'weird fiction' for my tastes in parts.
There were characters that I just did not remember and had to backtrack through The Passage to remind myself. Bearing in mind I read them back to back, I can't imagine how hazy details must have been for readers who had a longer gap. I think Cronin could have helped this by weaving in slight refresher sentences about the secondary characters here and there like other authors have done in other series that I have read.
So in short, this book barely made it to a 3 star rating, it was convoluted and quite bizarre in parts. I will still read the next book, City of Mirrors but I need a break for now.
Though I enjoyed reading it, The Twelve suffered from the Second-in-a-Trilogy Syndrome, in which a book tries to cover too much ground too quickly between the first installment and the last. The story felt rushed in many places, like there was more to say but the author was worried we'd lose interest if he didn't get on with the action. On the contrary, the slower more contemplative pace of the first book was one of the things I liked best. This one felt more like a summer blockbuster, and I can't help wondering if that was intentional. Many of the action scenes seemed like they were written for the big screen, and while some of them were admittedly pretty awesome, others were just gratuitous helpings of gore and explosions. I probably wouldn't have been so critical if the first book hadn't been so much better. In The Passage, Justin Cronin proved that he is a very talented author who can write a gripping thriller without sacrificing literary quality. That's why I am a little disappointed by the crowd-pleasing sequel.
The Passage Series: The Passage, The Twelve, The City of Mirrors, by Justin Cronin
My opinion is that the three books that comprise the Passage Series are actually 2 stories that alternate within each of the books. Both stories are good…well written and intriguing; but some of us may not appreciate both stories equally.
The one story is a SciFi monster thriller, where the monsters are an accidental creation of an experiment gone wrong. For those of you who would relish Jack Reacher meets Zombie Apocalypse you'll love this story. Anyone who survives being infected by the evil virus finds that his body has become denser and stronger and as "super" as a human body can realistically get. The down-side is that you need blood to survive. Animal blood works fine, but the way this works is that your craving for blood overrides any thoughts of restricting your diet to little creatures, of which you would have to eat too many to be satisfied. And there are so many more humans, who no longer register on the empathy scale, that it becomes pretty much impossible to discriminate between species.
Those reader who can stomach the poetically graphic description of the anti-hero ripping off a woman's head and then sucking her liters of blood through the straw of her neck will enjoy this side of the books.
"It is an interesting truth that the human body, liberated from its head, is in essence a bag of blood with a built-in straw. Holding her headless torso upright, I positioned my mouth around this jetting orifice and gave it a long, muscular suck."
And please forgive me if I give the impression that this story is a series of horrific bloodlettings; it's not. It's mostly love stories and "the joy of being alive, even now." However, there's no denying that the battle scenes get extremely exciting.
The other section deals with background for each of the various heroes and (mostly) the villains. The villains: what was it in their pasts that made them what they were before they changed, and hence what they became after they changed. The heroes: what gave them the spiritual strength to continue fighting what appears to be a lost cause? This is the part of the novels that actually tries to elicit a sympathetic response and is also literarily very attractive.
"I kept my head down, my nose to the stone. I adopted the practice of taking long drives in the Texas countryside. It was windblown, flat, without meaningful demarcation, every square of dirt the same as every other. I liked to pull the car to the side of the road someplace completely arbitrary and just look at it."
Or, later in time:
"Even then, huddled in agony, I knew that their advantage was temporary; it held no weight. The walls of my prison could not help but eventually yield to my power. I was the dark flower of mankind, ordained since time's beginning to destroy a world that had no God to love it."
Cronin spends a lot of ink getting us to appreciate the history of everyone involved, good and bad. And he does a fine job of it. I would offer some appropriate samples of the kinds of stories that might suggest how nicely the histories flow through the background of the books…but I mostly like SciFi. Forgive me, but I'm not attracted to "the Bridges of Madison County" or any of Jane Eyre's works. Obviously these types of stories are quite good---they just don't attract me much.
I accept that this could be a failing on my part. However, be that as it may, I found the historical part of the books nicely written, but tedious. Yes, I was drawn in and easily "felt" for the anti-hero's challenged love life. Likewise the pathetic youths of the other evilly-transformed. But I was still so much more interested in the monster story that I found myself starting to skim through the "youthful trials and tribulation" to get to the denouement of the plot. But fortunately I didn't.
It's not that I delight in strength and fangs and murder and destruction and blood; but my tendency is toward challenge and conflict, good vs. evil, life vs. death. A story, just for the niceness of the story doesn't interest me a great deal these days. I can easily see these interloping narratives being separated out into a separate series of stories. And, while I did manage to appreciate how the tedious background stories did provide some useful background (they serve to clarify why at least one "demon" was really not evil), I can't help but think that Cronin dragged out the background stories a little longer than necessary…in each case.
I don't know if this was a factor, but I do wonder if, in general, stories being written today are adversely influenced by the desire to "pad the pages" in order to garner larger wages. My feeling is that Cronin could have given us the same character development with fewer words.
In any case, I have to recommend that you read even the potentially tedious and boring parts…not so much for the literary sparkles as for the hidden clues that answer the questions that most irritated me with these books. Things happened and didn't happen that seemed completely incongruous and irrelevant—"Who is this person who just appeared?" "Why are we spending so much time with this person's childhood/failures/whatever?" "What has any of this got to do with the plot?" There was absolutely no hint that any of the seeming filler from the first book would be critical for understanding the last book.
Now that I've finished all three books I'm glad I read each of them all the way through. All questions are answered, all puzzles solved; all lives are ultimately linked and tied tightly together in a most satisfying manner.
Please, don't let me put you off. As nihilistic as the books are, the final ending strongly suggests that there is more to life than whatever we may be suffering at this moment. And that love is indeed greater than pain and death.
For the early years of his career as a writer, Justin Cronin won awards and got teaching posts for the sort of book that is described as sensitive and evocative; then he decided to do something else, but to do it with the same seriousness and competence. The first novel of his vampire trilogy, The Passage, was a canny combination of disparate elements – he had learned from Stephen King how to tear the world apart and set monsters loose in it, and from Tolkien how to set a new innocent generation on a quest for the cure to the world's pain. What is impressive about that book, and now its sequel The Twelve, is that there is nothing contemptuous about Cronin's approach; this is a formal exercise based on study and thought, but it has also a serious commitment to the virtues he has found in genre fiction – well-paced flurries of action and a deepened portrayal of the conventional emotions that too often become clichés.
