"All This Heavenly Glory"--A One-Sentence Review
OK, so I started this book by Elizabeth Crane (see title above), and I am so annoyed with it that I don't think I can even finish it (which is unfortunate, because putting a book down is a little like putting a dog down, unless a)your dog is rabid or b)you just don't really care for dogs, in which case you're just an evil person) because Crane has a penchant for writing in really, really long sentences, I mean long as in longer than any German sentence you've ever read, and we all know how long those sentences can be, and because of these sentences I even reached a point where I would get stressed out when beginning a new paragraph because I knew it would just never end (it was a little like holding your breath until you almost pass out), and yet I'm also a little afraid to put the book down because a)the fact that Crane writes these long sentences must mean that she's a really hot, happening author (she is called "a house on fire" and "diabolically addictive," for example), and what if I miss something by not reading her book and b)the title of the book makes me wonder if there might be some gem in there somewhere, and what if I miss something in not reading the book, and now I'm getting stressed because I don't know how to end this review, which isn't really a review, if you think about it, seeing as though I've only read about two chapters of the book, and if anyone ever did that to any book that I published, I'd be furious, and maybe this is in fact what is making me furious, that Crane has published a book and I have not, and if it's really as easy as writing this blog entry has been, why don't I just get up off my ass and DO IT?
