I wanted to love the book but I just couldn't. It was extremely confusing through the middle, and there was no moral line when it came to stealing. The last line of the book especially turned me off - until then, I was trying to think it was okay, and then I read the last line.... :)<br /><br />The best things were Uncle Eddie, W.W. Hale (Who reminds me of my character Grailyn) and the globetrotting throughout the book. <br /><br /><br />*cough* Sorry about giving you an entire review... :D Tell me what you think if you read it!<br /><br />- EllynEllynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01902646780678873511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-9972145937330220092011-08-04T14:08:59.245-05:002011-08-04T14:08:59.245-05:00I had the same thoughts about Cowboys and Aliens. ...I had the same thoughts about Cowboys and Aliens. :) I haven't seen it yet, but I've shoved aside the title and concentrated on the way they advertise it. Which looks SUPER cool. :D Especially because the dude with the alien shooter doesn't know where he's from. <br /><br />Great post though! cliche plots are annoying, they always ruin your writing lol.Jazmine~https://www.blogger.com/profile/06246960020080246030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-80919772257907244202011-08-04T06:34:02.786-05:002011-08-04T06:34:02.786-05:00I printed them all ou too.

She has great titles. I want to read Heist Society.<br /><br />Jenna, the lousiness of the title cannot be overstated. Although, Roseanna, that's an excellent point - Snakes on a Plane still wins the prize for worst movie title ever.<br /><br />Sierra, Harrison Ford is excellent. And Daniel Craig is a man who can get away with a cowboy hat and chaps.<br /><br />Book Blogger, thank you! I had so much fun. And, yes, I received your entry.<br /><br />Roseanna, you should really move to Kansas City.

Your points = good.<br /><br />And I soooo want to see this movie. If only our town's one theater hadn't just declined renewing their contract.

(And probably because it's part Western, while I'm being all truthful.) When you described the premise, though, it sounds pretty interesting.

But when you put it this way it doesn't sound so bad! :D<br /><br />P.S. I love Ally Carter's Gallagher Girl series. Very cheesy, but I love it.
