another good thing about what goes up was that its plot wasn’t that predictable . after the first hundred pages or so , the book definitely took a turn and went in a completely different direction that i don’t think anyone would have seen coming given the book description . it kept me on my toes and invested in what was going to happen next .

it has been my experience that very few books actually live up to the praise heaped up on the back cover . i mean , even when the books are awesome , they’re rarely just what that little blurb makes them out to be . however whomever wrote the one for katie kennedy’s what goes up was dead - on . it is action - packed and it is wildly funny . in fact , it’s directly responsible for keeping my child up an extra half hour past her hoped - for bedtime because we were too busy giggling at the knock - knock jokes . ros

what goes up ’s high - school milieu is a mishmash of familiar tropes and one - note characters , and a subplot involving a space - themed high - school musical ( conceived and directed by a broadly mousy molly shannon ) is an ill - conceived time - waster at best , and borderline offensive at worst . yet throughout , glatzer and lawson show a deep understanding of how common ideals can hold even a community of outsiders together . and what goes up has a one - of - a - kind character in coogan , a cynic with a savior complex , who lies partly out of convenience , and partly because he knows—as glatzer and lawson know—that even a messy story can still inspire .
if glatzer , who co - wrote the film with robert lawson , had committed to a tone , the movie ' s pretensions might have been easier to suffer . as it is ,

there’s some nice filmmaking tucked inside “what goes up , ” a muddle of moods and intentions . the british comic actor steve coogan plays campbell babbitt , a flailing , depressed journalist who’s sent to new hampshire in the mid - 1980s to write an article pegged to the imminent liftoff of christa mcauliffe , the high school teacher who was part of the challenger space mission .

what goes up , by katie kennedy , tells the story of a girl named rosa hayashi and eddie toivonen as they each attempt to become one of the two people that make up a new nasa team designed to explore and find aliens . i’m not sure if the writing style is my absolute favorite , as the descriptive words are a little rare . but at the same time , those that are included are funny or metaphors i’ve never seen before , so i’m fairly impressed as far as those are concerned . i’m not someone who enjoys paragrap
katie kennedy , the author of learning to swear in america , returns with her second book , what goes up , and it does not disappoint . this fast - paced , quick - witted , and laugh - out - loud funny novel was so hard to put down that i had to force myself to put it away to get any sleep . the writing in the book was phenomenal ; i’ve never really read any ya book written in the style that kate kennedy employs . it was a huge breath of fresh air and a break from what is usually seen in teen books .
lambert sends a prayer skyward , mixing southern soul and country - gospel into a stunning love song to the sun . “i still see your light” goes the refrain , beefed up with double - stacked harmonies from lambert’s acoustic guitarist , frank carter rische , and frequent jack white sidewoman lillie mae rische .

starring steve coogan and hilary duff , what goes up takes a comedic look at life , love and all the chaos in between . also starring olivia thirlby and josh peck . when a group of teenage social misfits befriends jaded journalist campbell babbitt ( coogan ) , who ' s on assignment in their small new hampshire town , they each find themselves searching for meaning and truth in their crazy , mixed - up lives . but as babbitt gets to know these eccentric kids better - - their hidden secrets begin to rise to the surface , changing each other ' s lives forever .
jonathan glatzer’s directorial debut what goes up is a quirky - small - town dramedy that just barely avoids the “overly cutesy” and “self - indulgently melancholy” traps that snare so many indies . the movie teeters on the brink of disaster , and sometimes it flat - out stumbles , but while it’s often as amateurish as it is assured , glatzer and writer robert lawson want to convey so much that the sheer breadth of the movie means they hit a few of their targets .
that’s a lot of background for what goes up to wheel into place , especially since its actual plot isn’t overly concerned with the phony articles , the dead friend , or the doomed teacher . it’s mainly about a group of misfit teenagers ( played by such familiar faces as hilary duff , olivia thirlby , and josh peck ) who had a close relationship with coogan’s old buddy , and are now looking to coogan to fill that same guru / confidante / crush role .

i really enjoyed katie kennedy ' s first book and i loved this one as well . at first , what goes up felt like a crazy , intergalactic charlie and the chocolate factory , with a group of teens competing for spots on the interworlds agency , a division of nasa that deals with the exploration of parallel universes with intelligent life . the competition was fierce , filled with psychological tests and intelligence tests and logic tests and stress tests . i loved that part . then , just as the testing is windin

when foster stepped out , he knew , perhaps for the first time in his life , what he wanted to do : fly . but not just fly . what had captured his imagination was the particular freedom of the helicopter’s flight . more than the speed , he marveled at the agility . a helicopter , foster saw , moved with willful precision—flying forward , sideways , backward , straight up , straight down , able to hover or speed off in any direction , like a hummingbird .
a loose , lanky look at the magnetism of dangerous dudes , with a less - than - perfect vocal take – “what’s the intro ? ” lambert asks during the first 15 seconds , cutting off the band before revving up the song’s engines once again – that makes this “bad boy” feel infinitely more human .

review : i received this book from bloomsbury publishing in exchange for an honest review . i absolutely loved katie kennedy ' s first book learning to swear in america when i read it last year . definitely one of my favorite young adult books of the year , i still recommend it to people . so of course i jumped and begged for the chance to read kennedy ' s newest book what goes up . and while i didn ' t love it as much as her first book , it was still and fun and fast read that ' s perfect for easy summer days .
) and it kind of ruined the ending for me . everything was tidied up nicely in the end . . . a little too nicely .
he already knew what it was like to save someone . he’d been the lead pilot for a recently formed search - and - rescue squad . but it was different when you got there too late . foster resolved to do better next time . he would have to fly faster , risk more , take greater chances—whatever it took to save the next child . because that’s what you’re supposed to do .

not my fave . however , my 14 y . o . daughter fond it entertaining , so i ' ll chalk it up to the fact that i ' m not in the age group of the intended audience . what it has going for it : modest representation of diverse characters . good amount of science and math incorporated into an adventure story . mild romance . themes of friendship and overcoming adversity . what made it lame ( for me ) : it pales by comparison to other stories that developed similar concepts . it lacks the intensity , complexity , and moral

i want to hang out with katie kennedy ' s characters . they ' re unapologetically smart , but never obnoxiously arrogant ; they ' re vulnerable and believable ; they ' re funny . it ' s not easy to strike a good balance between sf , coming - of - age themes and comedy , but this book does it . even when the plot gets fast - paced and action - packed and concept - driven , there are always meaningful personal stakes . the book ' s cool concept ( testing to explore the multiverse ! ) made it a page turner from the beginning , because i was dying to see how the author would pull it off . i wasn ' t disappointed . the multiverse - travel science was invented , of course , but it was more detailed than the standard light sf hand - waving . the tests , especially the psychological ones , were fiendishly clever . it was the characters , though , who really sold me on what goes up . kennedy has a forthright , funny way of dealing with subjects that we more typically see in issue - driven ya than in sf adventures , such as social class and poverty ( in eddie ' s case ) and menstruation . the whole scene where rosa recruits the guys to accompany her on a trip to buy
accessories for her lady parts
is refreshing — and hilarious . so , yeah . if you like your beach books brainy , what goes up fully satisfies .
eddie has nothing to lose . after he wins his place in nasa ' s interworlds agency , he can lose everything . i like this book because of it ' s tension , climax , and the problems it brings up . the only problem was that in the beginning two characters ' perspectives were being told at once , so it could be confusing what one was thinking about the other . an awesome sci - fi read !
but phill only showed up every so often . the rest of the time , jerry absorbed lessons in manhood from his stepdad . the grizzled marine didn’t say much , but when jerry needed defending from bigger kids at school , dad took him into the backyard , laced up some boxing gloves , and taught him the basic jab , the hook , the uppercut .
hat made the exercise meaningful was not just the participation of top corporate honchos but their endorsement through a narration of their real life experience with the new ‘investor friendly’ environment in up .

“we get respect , ” she said . “we have opinions on what the play should be , planning where everything would go . and at the end of the show , seeing everyone’s reaction to the work you’ve put in . ” she nodded her head . “it’s pretty great . ”
ernie s uncle gabriel has just died but to claim his inheritance he must spend the night in the ancestral family home with the rest of his rather eccentric relatives . ernie s imagination has been affected by his constant immersion in cheap horror novels , but his wildest fears turn out to be justified when the guests begin to drop dead . starring carry on stalwarts and all round british comedy legends kenneth connor and sid james , what a carve up ! is classic british humour at its very best .
“i fucked anything that moved in those days , ” he says . everyone wanted to ride with foster . imagine being able to take your date to a movie and then ascend into an aerial view of the nighttime city ? foster would sometimes fly women up to a spot in the mcdowell mountains where a big flat prominence served as a landing pad and the wind had worn a cavern into the rock . he called it his rock condo . he stored sleeping bags and a mattress up there , sometimes spending the night , staying up late to survey his protectorate of central arizona with a 120 - mile view to the horizon .
kyle mcmahon , a junior who is assistant stage manager on the show , said he auditioned as a saxophone player to get into murrow three years ago , but wound up finding a skill he didn’t know he had .
not my fave . however , my 14 y . o . daughter fond it entertaining , so i ' ll chalk it up to the fact that i ' m not in the age group of the intended audience . what it has going for it : modest representation of diverse characters . good amount of science and math incorporated into an adventure story . mild romance . themes of friendship and overcoming adversity . what made it lame ( for me ) : it pales by comparison to other stories that developed similar concepts . it lacks the intensity , complexity , and moral issues of ender ' s game . it lacks the convincing physicality of divergent . the comic bits fall a bit flat , far short of the repartee of jk rowling ' s characters . the plot overall is pretty thin . so , overall rating = meh .
no one really paid attention when foster arranged to take a spare camera up with him in the pollywog . his traffic broadcasts had been audio only , but foster understood that tv was a visual medium , and he wanted to bring back footage that could go on the air . it wasn’t easy to operate the wind - up bolex camera while flying a helicopter , but after a few tries foster got results that lane could use for regular broadcasts .
with development real estate in cbd locations becoming increasingly sparse and with construction costs soaring , it makes perfect sense to literally scale up and maximise the investment across a number of brands and price points ,

“anybody’s welcome , ” said mr . lavigne , the show’s technical director . “you start not knowing what a hammer is and you leave here designing sound or lights . ” as another student drifted in , mr . lavigne yelled : “hey , kiddo ! start working on the wainscoting , o . k . ? ”
upon arriving , babbitt immediately winds up in the middle of a group of misfit teens mourning the suicide of an inspirational teacher . babbitt went to college with the teacher , and the students grab this loose connection like a lifeline .
mark t . smith of explosions in the sky has teamed up with eluvium ' s matthew cooper for a new act called inventions . the two have a self - titled full - length album planned for april 1 through temporary residence ltd .
in reception we love to go outside whatever the weather , luckily for us ! we have been exploring different weathers this half term . we have seen what happens to windmills in the wind and we have been painting in puddles , we have even created our own puddles and put different items into the puddle so we can splash around .
texas songwriter shake russell first recorded this rowdy kiss - off in 1996 , aiming its lyrics at an unnamed ex who broke his heart . two decades later , lambert reclaims it as her own divorce song , dressing up the tune with telecaster twang and coed harmonies .
another woman , from a midwestern university , felt that a candidate’s chances might be hurt if she did not show up for the reception . her voice then dropped to a conspiratorial whisper : “if you have an interview the next day , do not talk to them now . ”
moreover , alien fans have been here before , specifically when 20th century fox moved to kill off newt , the little girl star of james cameron’s aliens , at the beginning of david fincher’s disappointing alien 3 . perhaps scott didn’t want a similar fan revolt , so it now appears we will at least get to see what happened to shaw , albeit most likely via some kind of flashback .
lambert channels lone star statesmen like guy clark and jerry jeff walker , offering up a convincing combo of texas twang , cowgirl wisdom and top - notch internal rhyme ( example : “i’m against the notion of drinking witchy potions and causing big commotion , you know , son ? ” ) .
now in charge of training pilots , foster found what so many teachers discover—that being an instructor is a great way to learn . as he came to know the machine more intimately , he learned that being an extraordinary helicopter pilot meant ricocheting from one hair - trigger decision to the next . and he was also learning that he had an instinct for it . foster was a split - second savant .
that first lesson in avoiding a crash landing vividly illustrated why airplane pilots talked about the sleek beauty of their crafts while helicopter pilots described theirs as “10 , 000 spare parts flying in close formation”—a gallows - humor euphemism for the grim reality that helos crashed a lot , often killing everybody on board . the danger lies in the helicopter’s basic aerodynamics . they are absolutely terrifying . when the big blades start to spin , newton’s third law of motion dictates that the entire body of the helicopter spins—and just as fast—in the other direction . that small rotor blade positioned vertically on the tail ? its entire purpose is to push back just as fiercely against the body’s natural tendency to spin in counter - sync with the blades . and if the back rotor goes out ? the body spins madly to the ground . a helicopter is a fragile balance of such counterforces , and when any simple thing goes awry , highest on the list of possible outcomes is a screaming , flaming death .
i went into this book wary because i love speculative fiction and this sounded like the type of book i might enjoy , but it also had a so - so rating . i ' ve learned in the past to not be too hyped up for a book that has a synopsis that somehow meets a bunch of my requirements for a good book . tip : always read at least the first page or chapter before giving up on a book simply because of the rating . i ' m so glad i picked this up and the only reason it took me so long to finish was because i was reading other books at the same time . this was a funny ( i was really surprised with how much i laughed at some of the cheesy and lame jokes ) , interesting , heart - warming , and unique read . i loved all of the characters and the omniscient feel that the third person narrative offered . with books like this one , i ' m happy to be able to see how everyone is affected during the story . i loved the twists and turns and that the book had more than one moment of conflict . the main conflict comes on the heels of a minor conflict ' s resolution , so it felt like this was a nonstop ride of adventure and mystery . everything flowed so well off each other and i found myself second - guessing what was happening a lot because the people in this book always have some sort of trick up their sleeve . if kennedy writes another book in this universe , i hope she follows the perspectives of some of the other characters introduced . i love this whole concept of what could be and how we differ between us and our multi - dimensional counterparts . i ' m a sucker for books that feature characters getting ready to go on a mission , so this sated that hunger for adventure and the speculative side of multi - dimensional travel was like the icing on the metaphorical cake . happy reading !
the public , with large numbers of students , began joining the monks in their demonstrations . yet history repeated itself : as with the 1988 uprising that the military forcefully crushed , this rebellion too was put down with the utmost brutality . while several of his colleagues were caught and face life imprisonment , joshua survived to continue to dedicate his life to showing what ' s really going on in his country .
one day , foster got a message from his uncle phill , the gold miner who had spent all those years with little but his faith in his dark - horse hunches . his doctor had performed some tests , and phill sent them to foster with the request that he look at them and tell phill what they meant . phill was living in battle mountain , nevada , still rich from his prospecting days and still living in his little camper . for foster , phill was the closest thing to a father he’d ever known , and so he packed up his stuff and headed to nevada to tell phill that he had colon cancer . the prognosis was bad . he didn’t have long to live .
instead he asked them to take a first hand account of the ground situation before taking a call on availing of the new opportunities in the fast developing it city in lucknow or in potentially rich industrial pockets slated to come up along the rapidly growing infrastructure projects across other parts of the state .
jerry foster never knew his dad , never even knew his name . all he’d ever know was that his nickname was swifty and that he rode a motorcycle . swifty had knocked up foster’s mother , norma , when she was 14 and soon rode off on his bike , abandoning his young son .
far be it for me to complain about a film - maker giving the public what they want , but the entire process smacks of the kind of reactive film - making that caused fan - inspired movies such as samuel l jackson’s snakes on a plane to be such a mess . this is ridley scott , director of alien and blade runner . apparently changing his movie every five minutes because someone on the internet complained .
the whole process began in early fall , when carlos rosado , a visual - arts teacher , designed the curved , undulating set and a construction crew began sawing and hammering . one student came up with a plan for a secret passage in the set , which is operated by pulling on a lighting sconce .
what makes a hero ? january , 1986 . campbell babbitt is a reporter for the new york world , writing a series on a woman who turned the grief of losing a son into civic acts . he falls in love with her , and when she commits suicide , he continues to write made - up stories about her . his editor sends him to new hampshire to cover the challenger flight from the town of teacher christa mcauliffe . the launch is postponed for a few days , giving campbell time to get to know a group of misfit students whose own teacher killed himself the day campbell arrives in town . he pieces the story together that led to the suicide , finds himself attracted to a student , and has to sort out his own loss .
foster was a bachelor again , just at the moment he was becoming a celebrity . every program director in arizona now realized that a station without a helicopter wasn’t even trying to compete for ratings . across town at channel 12 the news director was a fresh face named al buch who pronounced his name “buck” and was often the tallest man in the room . buch had a bigger vision for what a talented helicopter pilot might do with news .
the friendly competition became so unfriendly that the rival news directors had to have a sit - down , like mob bosses dividing territory , and thereafter the rivalry became a little more playful . being the more balletic pilot , foster might inch his way into position when key was broadcasting live and simply rise up directly into her shot .
foster packed up his camper and drove . he eventually got to his uncle phill’s place , where they lived the bachelor life for a while—eating chef boyardee spaghetti from the can and catching up on lots of television . phill was as eccentric as ever . he’d bought a house but still lived in his trailer . he’d bought a boat even though there wasn’t any water in which to put it for miles and miles . but for foster , the road was his antidote to years of flight . he took a job as a driver of 18 - wheelers and spent nearly all of his waking hours in the seat of his semi . for years , he just drove .
the third song in a row to feature co - writing help from aaron raitiere , “tomboy” plays up the connection between lambert and her two backup singers : gwen sebastian and madi diaz . the three women coo , croon and pile their voices into harmonized triads , turning “tomboy” into , ironically enough , one of the album’s most feminine moments .
it was a cool winter tuesday at gilbert elementary school in 1988 , and several hundred grade - school kids were gathered in the school yard . the children had painstakingly arranged themselves into groups holding up red , white , and blue cards to form a human american flag . all this to greet the state’s flying cowboy during the school’s flag day celebration .
amul dairy managing director r s sodhi narrated how a single meeting with ranjan overnight resolved many issues that were hanging fire for months . consequently , up’s first amul unit was already in place and had in its early months already procured milk worth rs 700 crore , that was likely to get raised to rs 3 , 000 crores over the next one year .
this idea of doing traffic reports for television was shaping up to be a fiasco . but foster wanted this job . dianna was pregnant , and he needed stability . foster’s daring solution was to soar in altitude just before broadcast time , then disengage the engine ( the way you might put a car in neutral ) and watch the pollywog go into a glide , an arcing fall that gave him about 30 seconds of silence to voice his traffic report—while hurtling toward earth ! —before re - engaging the engine and pulling up at the last second . more than once he misjudged the length of his report , and as he was about to slam into the roofs of speeding cars he’d suddenly cry out , “this is jerry foster , gotta go ! ”
he helped pack up their clothes and toys so that they could go away and be raised by another man . he was struck by the confounding emotions on his girls’ faces , confused children feeling like their father had abandoned them . foster spent the weekend mostly drunk , struggling to identify the crippling sensation that engulfed him , only to consider that maybe it was déjà vu .
for the record , here are the various permutations the film has gone through since it was first mentioned by scott in march 2012 . back then , we thought we were getting a direct sequel to prometheus , perhaps with screenwriter damon lindelof being duct - taped to a typewriter and forced to explain away some of the original movie’s gaping , incomprehensible plot holes . later that year , lindelof conveniently stepped aside , after admitting the sequel might “benefit from a fresh voice or a fresh take or a fresh thought” ( perhaps in the same way that lost really ought to have brought someone in after season three to explain what the fricking smoke monsters were up to and why those darned numbers were so important ) . but not before telling us that any sequel was likely to shift even further away from the alien movies to which prometheus had at one point been intended as a prequel - of - sorts .
action - packed and wildly funny , this near - future sci - fi features three teens on an inter - dimensional mission to save the world . rosa and eddie are among hundreds of teens applying to nasa’s mysterious multi - world agency . after rounds of crazy - competitive testing they are appointed to team 3 , along with an alternate , just in case eddie screws up ( as everyone expects he will )
gayle zeitlin , assistant principal for communication arts and coordinator for the theater program , said that because the productions are open to all students , tech and crew allows teenagers from all walks of life and all levels of study to work together — a rare occasion to break free from high school cliques . a student in an english honors class recently took sound design and wound up helping a fellow student with his english homework .
which explains why the army was looking for instructors to train huey pilots at fort wolters in texas . with the help of a few moments of discreet silence about his ill - fated military past , he not only got the job but was thrilled to learn that he would now get paid just to fly around in his favorite toy . things were looking up . more pennies from heaven , as foster himself had started to say .

i think like james hadley chase , the books of harold robbins can be divided into two piles - the super - trashy and the ones not quite so . titles like the betsy , the storyteller and the pirate will clearly get to the first section ! incidentally , the pirate doesn ' t even have a semblance of a story - the betsy at least does . the second pile would consist of his never love a stranger , where love has gone and a stone for danny fisher - which are actually pretty good reads . i guess the dream merchants and the carpetbaggers would also come into this category . you said it joe when you commented that robbins can write when he wants to . pity he didn ' t do more in the second category but i guess he saw what sold and consequently revelled in producing the novels in the first pile !

but it’s impossible to imagine such improvement will be aided by an education secretary who is so willfully impervious to the relevant data . instead , betsy devos’ lodestar has been her conviction that any nontraditional public school is better than a traditional one , simply because it’s not operated by government .
the troubles of the trump administration will shape the conference , too , as activists discuss how to make republicans ' work even harder . the american federation of teachers will explain how a
dedicated effort from educators , parents and the community
made education secretary betsy devos infamous , imperiling her nomination . groups like bend the arc and muslim advocates will share how they actually defeated trump nominees for other jobs , like labor secretary nominee andrew puzder .
an article on wednesday about the senate confirmation of betsy devos as secretary of education described incorrectly the role of public pressure in the “no” votes cast by two republicans . while senator lisa murkowski of alaska said she had been influenced by thousands of messages she received urging her to reject the nomination , senator susan collins of maine did not in fact refer to such public comments as influencing her decision to oppose the nomination .

the cfpb , of course , is the brainchild of senator professor warren and it has become quite the nuisance to the country’s real owners and their ongoing project to steal the country from the rest of us . this latter group certainly includes the devos family , who made its pile from amway , and who appear to believe that control of the political commons is another something you can buy wholesale . naturally , the cfpb swung back . what we do know is that , as is typical of many of the cabinet officials down there at camp runamuck , betsy devos knows nothing about the subject of the portfolio she’s been handed . that boat sailed years ago .
this was the worst betsy book ever . i have to sit back and wonder if the author even has a clue as to where she is going with this series . perhaps , she should stake betsy and sinclair and put them out of their misery . ugh ! this has happened so many times in series books . the reader gets into them loves the characters and then bam ! the series goes to hell in a hand basket . case in point l . k . hamilton anita blake series . i didn ' t even bother to buy the last book . authors actually need to do some work and not let the popularity of a series carry them . i skimmed through most of undead and unsure and can ' t even really tell you what a majority of the book was about . i wouldn ' t have bothered to skim past the first paragraph if i hadn ' t spent hard earned money on the book and felt i should get something for it . i gave betsy 2 stars . one for actually having the guts to call this crap a book and pulling off getting it published . and another star for the last paragraph , which was the only thing of merit in the entire book . i honestly don ' t think i ' ll buy the next installment in the series when it hits the shelves . i can do better with my money and time .

i wasn’t sure whether or not i was going to read this book because this series has been not - so - gradually spiraling into a big hot mess . upon starting this one , i felt that it wasn’t quite as bad as the last few have been and find myself hoping that davidson may have pulled her head out of her behind . alas , by the end of the book , i felt it still left me unsatisfied and kindof guilty for having wasted my precious time on this series . we pick up where we left off at the beginning of this book , with betsy dealing with the aftermath of killing the devil . laura , her sister , who also happens to be the anti - christ is super angry at her for killing her mom and so there is lots of drama there . laura is angry and scared that in the absence of her mother , she will have to assume the role of satan and she resents betsy for putting her in that situation . meanwhile , sinclair is being reckless with his newfound ability to tolerate sunlight and nobody seems to know how far along jessica is in her pregnancy and when she is due . it seems she has been pregnant forever and no one really seems to think anything of it . the parts of the book i still dislike are that the plot always seems silly and pointless and just rambles on and the fact that sinclair is much less the powerful vampire he once was , but is now an emasculated version of himself next to betsy’s ditsy - genius act . i can’t quite get past the thisissostupid thing and even though this book is better than the past few have been , i feel like i’m coming to the end of my queen betsy fandom . i think i’m going to give up on the series from here on out .
the flashbacks to 1930s detroit and the auto baron ' s grand lifestyle stood out in the film .
imagine a world where women say only what men want to hear , where they work to fulfill a man’s every whim , and where they reach their , um…sexual satisfaction with the ease of turning on a light switch–this is the world harold robbins created in the betsy . if the female - marketed harlequin romances have a counterpart in the male market , that counterpart is harold robbins . let me make it clear from the start : this is not a good novel ; in fact , it is one of the worst novels i’ve ever read . it took m
number one has been inspired to release a brand new car , and further he wants to name it “the betsy , ” after his nubile 18 year - old great granddaughter . sounds simple , but in reality this is just the setup for endless , endless scenes where board members at bethlehem motors will get together and talk about the impracticalities of this initiative , given the incipient energy crisis . and besides , loren iii wants to get out of the car business and focus on the company’s more - profitable ventures in appliances and whatnot .
this book was horrendous in every way . i won ' t repeat what others have said about a lack of plot , but it is true . all of the characters now could be betsy . there is hardly any distinction between them . they all are juvenile , self absorbed , and lacking in intelligence . the biggest tragedy is the loss of sinclair . in the beginning , he was rough , manly , and sexy . throughout this addition , i kept thinking that sinclair must be possessed or under a spell because there was no way his character would be so wussy and whiny . nope . . . that ' s just what mjd has done to him . and betsy ! ugh . she is now just a terrible person . there is nothing redeeming about her . i don ' t care any more whether they live happily ever after because they both are obnoxious . then you have the plot line about jessica and the later explanation . it made no sense . i can suspend my disbelief quite a bit ( hence me reading vampire books ) , but this book jumped the shark about 10 times over . save your money , and more importantly end the series still liking sinclair and betsy . if you read this , you definitely won ' t .

this is one of the funniest books i have ever read in my life . unintended by the writer . the story is of the rise to power of an auto company and the family of the founder . the real humor begins in the
modern era
sections of the tale . 1971 , when this was written . . . the mighty american car companies are dying at the hands of small japanese imports , the vw bug , and etc . the high stakes race to build an american sub - compact is on . ford has the pinto , there ' s the gremlin , and the chevy vega . this
the incandescent peters tells playbill about creating her own version of the deliciously meddlesome matchmaker in the tony - winning revival .
literature indeed proved a happy calling . harold collected a home in the south of france , a custom made rolls - royce , and an 85 foot yacht on which he cruised the mediterranean . until his death in 1997 , however , there were persistent rumors that cocaine and ghostwriters helped assist robbins ' s overworked muse . in 1971 robbins published the betsy , a saga about the detroit auto industry . the novel spanned several generations of an auto manufacturing dynasty and contained robbins ' s standard formula of glamour , sex , wealth , and murder .
. but then , it seems to me that robbins got more extreme as he got older , which i guess is one thing you could at least respect him for . ( he does slack off on the drugs here , though ; while everyone smokes and drinks , only one character indulges in anything illegal – betsy herself , who in true hippie - girl fashion enjoys smoking dope . )
olivier relished the idea of the robbins sex scenes . however , he felt that one scene that required him to have sex in a clothes closet with his wife ' s french maid might prove too arduous for him . he believed it would require
a light cordelia
( as john gielgud said of king lear ' s youngest daughter ) , or at least a harness in which to suspend the maid . as the scene was shot , the culminating act was left to the audience ' s imagination . on the other hand , larry ' s ogling katharine ross breast feeding the baby and his subsequent tryst with katharine in bed , were not cut . later , harold robbins told me that he considered the betsy the
best movie adaptation of any of his works .

i agree with the other reviews i use to love these books { along with some of my friends , who gave up already on these books } the author stated in one of the books { i think } that she was going a different direction with the story , well she ruined it . the new books since the cover change have been harder and harder to read , where did the fun go ?

novelists have always found the rich and famous fair ( and sometimes not so fair ) game . honore de balzac parodied the baron rothschild after dining at his table . in the 1920s edith wharton chronicled the affairs of the descendents of new york ' s dutch settlers whose blood ( not to mention fortunes ) had thinned by the time mrs . wharton impaled them in her pages . but it was not until the publication of the carpetbaggers in 1961 that fictionalizing the rich and famous became an art form itself ( of sorts ) . the author was a former accountant named harold robbins who had once worked for a hollywood studio . the book ' s characters were based on howard hughes , the millionaire playboy producer ( and inventor and pilot ) and jean harlow ( rina marlowe in the book , in case anybody missed the point ) , the blonde film goddess who led a tempestuous life on and off screen .
in a final push that included demonstrations around the country , constituents and advocates swamped senate offices with calls , so inundating the capitol switchboard that it disrupted the senate’s voice mail system .
it was the first time a vice president has been summoned to the capitol to break a tie on a cabinet nomination .
though the group has a history of helping santorum , thursday’s meeting wasn’t just a reunion of the former senator’s old advocates .
sources estimated that the conservatives of faith email list has upwards of 300 names on it . phyllis schlafly of eagle forum has been involved with the group in the past , but she endorsed trump this cycle and didn’t attend the meeting on thursday .
to be fair , this series was always weak on plot . the last handful of books , though , seem to be 90 percent immature dialogue and 10 percent plot . in the early books , betsy was sarcastic and immature - but still tolerable . with each subsequent book she gets more and more immature . it ' s no longer endearing . what passes for plot in this book doesn ' t even get hinted at until 30 percent of the book is gone . think about that . the first 30 percent of the book revolves around absolutely nothing - and can be tossed out and not change the story in the slightest . besides betsy actually getting dumber ( and less charming ) with each subsequent book , sinclair completely loses his cool factor this go - around . he used to be cool and now he is a flaming idiot with no sex appeal . zombie marc is a hassle , jessica ' s pregnancy is a bore and baby jon is an afterthought . in essence , this series has lost it ' s creativity and lovability and is complete drivel now . it should have ended six or seven books ago - and yet i ' m the idiot that keeps buying them . i ' m mostly mad at myself , really . davidson wouldn ' t keep fleecing readers if we didn ' t let her . the truth is , i don ' t want to let a series go before it is finished - but i have got to learn to let a series go that should be finished ( even though it drags on and on and on and on and on ) . this series needs to be put out of its misery .

of federal student loans , ending a partnership that has let the cfpb sue loan companies and force others to change their practices in the nation’s second - largest household debt market . several former high - ranking federal officials fear the directive signals a greater leniency toward loan companies trying to collect on debts , and perhaps a new effort by the trump administration to undermine the bureau’s enforcement authority . “the system is always going to work against the interest of borrowers and toward the interest of the government , ” said bergeron , who retired as the education department’s head of postsecondary education in 2013 after more than 30 years there . “the cfpb is a check on that , and a necessary one . ”
going through some harold robbins books i got from a library sale . this one was written when robbins still seemed to give a damn about writing novels , but you can tell he got tired of it before finishing it . the sexy stuff was pretty graphic for its time and its popularity . think of teenagers with a ton of money and no repercussions ( didn ' t someone once say hollywood is like that ? ) and you got an idea what motivates many of the characters . the main plot is about a family that makes cars , and how the patriarch , now in his 90 ' s , is driven to make one last splash in the world of cars with the betsy , named after his granddaughter . i liked it fine while reading it . it ' s not going to tax the brain and it ' s got about as much weight as a show like revenge . that ' s not a slam - there is room in the world for commercial entertainment , and if you go into it with any deeper expectations than that you ' ll be disappointed . i ' ve got two more robbins novels in the stack to go . also , i highly recommend if you have any interest at all in the world of bestselling writers , publishing in the 60s and 70s , and the perils of celebrity .

the studio found dan ' s cut to be rather tame , so he went back and filmed an additional sex scene between lesley - anne down and tommy lee jones , in a rented hotel room , as i recall . it seemed like they were looking for a r rating , although nobody ever said so , of course . they did want dan to

the dirty parts . the battle between the young generation and the old has always interested me , and it’s a story robbins weaves throughout , with number one in a generations - long battle with his own progeny . but there are so many missteps and wastes of time that it’s all lost in the mire of characters and subplots…subplots that have no setup or impact . it
and though members of the council for national policy backed cruz , he got schlonged in the evangelical - heavy southern states where his team had hoped to do well . the fact that donald trump beat him by winning the evangelical vote indicates that evangelical christian leaders—including those in the council for national policy and conservatives of faith—don’t have as much clout as conventional wisdom might dictate .
