The Miz

Saw this a Walmart today.  Ally asked me why John Cena (her favorite wrestler) wasn’t on the cover but The Miz was.  I think everyone knows the answer to that one.  Well, you do if you know anything about wrestling or anything about The Miz. 
Without giving the answer, I will tell you about the Miz.  He was on the Real World like 10 years ago and then on road rules.  The whole time on both shows he confessed his love for professional wrestling.  Then he got his break on Tough Enough, a reality program that trained people for the WWE.  It was a long road for him to make it big in the WWE, but he got there.  Now he is a “money in the bank” winner.  That gives him the right to challenge for any belt at any time that he chooses.  So someone could have just fought a grueling match and he can challenge them right then in there.  This almost ensures him the WWE title. 
So why is he on the cover.  Not because he is probably the next WWE Champion, but because he is the Miz, and HE IS AWESOME!

Natsuo Kirino

Natsuo Kirino, a well known author in Japan, releases her second English
translation with Real World. Real world follows four Japanese high
school girls as they assist a boy that has just committed matricide in
his escape.
The book is a really quick read and you actually care about the
characters and start to sympathize with the "Worm" character. You
almost understand why the girls are helping him. The characters are the
lifeblood of this novel and Kirino fleshes out what seem to be
stereotypical Japanese students into something a little more.
This is ultimately a book about consequences. Actions and inactions
have consequences. The characters, still young, learn this throughout
the novel the hard way. Well, at least the female characters do.
This isn't a great book, but it is a good book. I haven't read any of
Kirino's other works so I don't have anything to base it on. The book
does have an edge to it and can get very dark in places. I would
suggest this book for high school age and up do to darkness and sexual
content.
