Joke of the Week

 in Fun / Humorous / Interesting by

Just a little something to brighten your week.

LAST WEEK’S JOKE

A man was seen fleeing down the hall of the hospital just before his operation.
“What’s the matter?” he was asked.
He said, “I heard the nurse say, ‘It’s a very simple operation, don’t worry, I’m sure it will be all right.”
“She was just trying to comfort you, what’s so frightening about that?”
“She was talking to the doctor.”

THIS WEEK’S JOKE

A young boy had just gotten his driving permit. He asked his father, who was a minister, if they could discuss his use of the car.
“I’ll make a deal with you,” said his father. “You bring your grades up, study your Bible a little, get your hair cut, and then we’ll talk.”

A month later the boy came back and again asked his father if they could discuss his use of the car.

“Son, I’m real proud of you. You’ve brought your grades up and you’ve studied your Bible, but you didn’t get hair cut!”

“You know, Dad, I’ve been thinking about that. Samson had long hair, Moses had long hair, Noah had long hair, and even Jesus had long hair.”

“Yes son, and they walked everywhere they went!”

Summary

Scarlett March lives to hunt the Fenris – the werewolves that took her eye when she was defending her sister, Rosie, from a brutal attack. Armed with a razor-sharp hatchet and a blood-red cloak, Scarlett is an expert at luring and slaying the wolves. She’s determined to protect other young girls from a grisly death, and her raging heart will not rest until every single wolf is dead.
Rosie March once felt that her bond with her sister was unbreakable. Owing Scarlett her life, Rosie hunts ferociously alongside her. But even as more girls’ bodies pile up in the city and the Fenris seem to be gaining power, Rosie dreams of a life beyond the wolves. She finds herself drawn to Scarlett’s only friends, Silas, a young woodsman who is deadly with an ax. But does loving him mean betraying her sister and all that they’ve worked for?

Review

I never finished this book. I got to page 211 out of 321 pages. The book was ok until there. Throughout the book there were a lot of bloody fights between the girls and the boy and the werewolves. They were really violent and bloody. But when it got to about page 200, the book too a different turn. It had talked about girls being killed, but then it went into detail about one of the girls being eaten and what was left of her. This just completely turned me off this book. I was just managing before with all of the blood and everything, but when it got to the part with the mangled girls body, and what was left, I just could not read any more. This book is for Older Young Adults. Maybe 15 or something. This is not a read again for me at all. If you have a queasy stomach, then do not read this book. It is utterly disturbing. But if you want to give it a try, be my guest. This is just what I thought of it.
