One of the most haunting books that I have read in years.

The main character, Rosie, is complicated, sensitive and heroic. She’s also an elephant. The time is a “depression era” slice of life. Critics have represented this book as ‘riviting’ and ’sheer fun’. It is certainly ‘riviting’. Sometimes, it isn’t fun. It’s a book about a beutiful sensitive animal who endures the most depression era horrific abuse. While Rosie is an elephant, she also personifies a dwarf, a dog called Queenie, a chimp called Bobo, and Marlena. It’s complicated.

I found it hard to read at times because I LOVE Rosie. I love Jacob Jankowski. The second generation, animal Vet that we all hope treats our animal friends.

The reviews written so far haven’t talked about the difficult moments in the book. There are moments that made me think of animal rights. In the depression, they had no rights. Read this book and stand up for animal rights. Stand up for Rosie!

I purchased this makeup based on the rave review of my avon sales rep, who was also using it, however, I was dissapointed was everything about this makeup. The consistency is very thick, but, once applied, it is very sheer. I have oily skin with some breakouts and redness, and I found that I had to really pile it on to get the coverage I needed. Once applied, it was very hard to blend, and after about 10 minutes of blending, it still looked cakey and uneven. I purchased the color “cream”, which appeared to be the right shade, however, on my face it went orange, with a greyish cast, and looked awful. All things considered, I think that this foundation is better suited to someone who doesn’t have any type of issue or concern with their skin.
