The ONLY thing I couldn't get past, that in my opinion, is a little far fetched is the fact that when I write a journal entry, I don't quote people.so I have a hard time believing that a journal would be written this way as to incorporate quotations from a couple years prior. I love the fact that there is a woman bad-a$$ character.because there aren't many books with "comic book" females that are awesome-fighting crimes and mob bosses. The idea that this old lady, riddled with Alzheimer's could be someone as notorious as the Black Stiletto.WOW! I love the way this book was written and typically I don't like the switching back and forth between past and present but in this case, it still flowed well. I actually really like the book and the premise behind it. I just couldn't relate to the characters as much as I would have liked to, which makes me sad. I think the writing was great, so that wasn't a problem. Then again, I don't know what I would do in a situation like this. I mean, it was clear that she was a fantastic mother when she was sober. If I were Webster, after sending her away, I would have followed up with her sooner than when Rowan was 18. Sheila was a typical alcoholic, in every sense of the word, and in her case, could not be helped until she helped herself. It's like he was just saying how much he loved her, not necessarily feeling it. Perhaps dealing with those awful rescue situations made him deal with EVERY situation as a "process" but by doing so, you get a feeling of disconnect with the character, making him harder to relate to. Everything was so calculated and less emotional. I don't believe in promiscuous sex, etc.įast forward to after they were married, I understand, definitely, that there are the things we do for love, but to me, I feel like there was more he could have done in the process of helping Sheila with her problem and he just kind of took it all in stride.

Granted I don't need to actually go through everything in a book to relate or understand, but maybe because it's a situation I would NEVER want to be in, it was a little bit of a turn off. Part of it, I'm sure is that I've never experienced a pull so strong to someone that I did not know that would cause me to basically stalk them and then have sex with them on the second time we met.unprotected. He allowed this woman, Sheila, to pretty much do whatever she wanted to and turned a blind eye from the get-go. At the same time, I didn't view Webster as a strong character, or even as someone I would like in real life. I don't think I could ever do that sort of job. I enjoyed the EMT portions of the main character's thought processes in rescue situations. That being said, I was a little mixed myself. If you try this experiment, my advice is to allow yourself at least one day a week to sleep in-you'll enjoy that extra rest more than you've ever enjoyed anything in your life, and you'll be energized to start fresh the next day, bright and early.This was a book by an author I have heard a lot of wonderful things about however this particular book had mixed reviews.
#Waking at dawn crack#
That's what's so great about the crack of dawn-there's nothing else to do at that hour, and I find that once I turn off my alarm and shuffle to the coffee maker, I'm actually glad to be up. If you plan your side work for nighttime or the weekends, trust me, you'll probably never do it-there's simply too much fun (read: wine) to be had. I focus, I get in the zone and when it's time to come to the office, I feel energized mentally and emotionally (if a bit fatigued physically).įor those who, like me, have something they've always wanted to create outside of their jobs, I highly recommend rising at least an hour earlier than you normally do.

I love the feeling of starting my day early, so I don't feel like my entire life is my job-no matter how much you love your career, this feeling is not healthy. But I'm going to keep my new morning routine (with some slight adjustments)-my goal is to be up by 5:30 and fit in a 30-minute workout. After a month of my little experiment, I'm exhausted.
