I hate when people say a book isn't worth reading just because they didn't like it. Your opinion is not more important or better then any of the people who did like the book and saying that it's not worth reading just because you didn't like it is pitiful. Not to mention the fact that you are a middle aged man and it's very much a teenage girl book. an there is Vampire sex, something you wouldn't know about as you never read past the first one.

Hi Anna,

Thanks for playing, but you're wrong.

My opinion IS more important than all of the crying, whining teenage girls and post-menopausal women who claim this book is the second coming of Hamlet. You know why?

Because I don't let sappy pulp-based emotions rule my judgment of something's literary value.

Me not liking the book has nothing to do with just not liking it on a reader level... this book is not worth reading, by anyone, because it has zero literary value. And I believe I've said that many times in this thread already.

I'm glad you took the time to attack me and my very informed opinions. I really appreciate it. Maybe next time you should do a little background on who I am before you decide to slander me as being "pitiful", and I think you'll find that my thoughts on books are usually insightful, if not balanced.

Finally, what I said on here is no different than what the majority of the literary community of America (maybe the world?) said. Ask college Literature professors what they think about this "novel". Ask high school English teachers. Ask snooty librarians. Maybe you can fool "The Today Show", but sum of us iz just two damm smarte...

Most of them will tell you this is nothing but unmitigated pandering to a tear-stained audience that doesn't deserve to be in the same room as some of the modern greats, much less raised on the same pedestal, despite how often it gets compared to Harry Potter.

Good try though. Taking a stab in the dark at someone you don't know is always a good idea, especially when it's emotionally driven.

Enjoy your vampire porn.

Dear Kyle,

We have received noise complaints in reference to your apartment.

We have received a complaint that music is excessively loud with heavy metal and bass sometimes up to 2-3am and then again at 8am to 9am.

Please note that the noise policy in your lease states that quiet hours are from 10pm to 8am and any excessive noise at any time is in violation of your lease.

I understand that this was unintentional and appreciate your future efforts to moderate your music.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Management

I'm responding to your letter of alleged noise complaints, and will do so in list format.

1. If I am playing music "again at 8am to 9am", and the "lease states that quiet hours are from 10pm to 8am", there is no problem.  I am following the same legal document as you, and therefore there any such complaint is laughable, as I am abiding by the binding contract between us.


2. "Excessively loud" is very subjective, can this be quantified?  Decibels (dB) are the preferred logarithmic sound measurement scale.


3. You have not provided any dates, which once again leaves these alleged complaints in murky legal territory.  If you recall, I was away for a week this past June, and a noise complaint was filed against me.  And I was 3000 miles away.  There have also been a number of times that I have received the blame due someone else in this regard, thanks in large part to the prejudice of a certain short-tempered female that lives adjacent to me.


4. "Sometimes up to 2-3am"?  I am usually asleep at this time, like most people.  In the future, I would like this dated and quantified for further clarity of any alleged "heavy metal and bass" parties occurring in my apartment that I don't know about.  While I'm sleeping.

Additionally, there is a certain group of residents in the building on the third floor that are considerably louder, and infinitely more destructive, than I have ever been or will be, and yet I have filed no complaints against them.

Please consider that, by order of magnitude comparison, you should address and resolve the pre-existing situations before reprimanding me for vaguely defined, and nonexistent, behaviors.

Sincerely,

Kyle Brady
