Review Thoughts:

This book was by far one of the most helpful and life altering Non-Fiction books I have ever read. Covering everything I needed to know with an approach that I am comfortable with this book was a bible with finding an alternative to my current health related ailments and how to get on top of them in the most natural ways that are both beneficial for pregnancy, but also beneficial for overall lasting health.

For anyone with Infertility or suffering from a reproductive illness, this book is definitely for you. Ranging in issues from Herbal remedies to vitamins, mind and body, information and exercise suggestions this was a gem right when I needed it and I will certainly be buying this book for myself. It was extensive, easy to understand; it has examples of programs used by professionals in several fields and had an overall positive message; You can get pregnant, and even those who cannot when medically declared infertile still have the chance and choices to mend that.

Thoughts:

I loved Twilight the book and the movie. It was not my favorite or the best book in my collection, but it was my gateway book and for that I will be respectful. However did I enjoy the Twilight Graphic novel? No, I did not and I won’t spend too much time telling you why. However here are the important things for me that stood out.

I liked the artwork, it was stunning I really enjoyed every minute of it, but for me personally did it depict the characters as they were in my mind? No. I love the initial story of Twilight, but for me the adaptation was all over the place and untrue to the characters in some respects. It all happened to fast and bits and pieces of the story were cut and pasted into other scenes to save time, so the story did not have a great flow and it honestly made the reading experience stilted.

With that being said I didn’t totally hate the experience and as stated it is to the vision of Stephanie Meyer so in her mind and creation these are her characters. In mine, and the portrayal of the series so far including the movie adaptations I couldn’t make the connection and I didn’t enjoy it. If you are a fan however by all means check it out and if you have let me know what you thought of it.
