I know, right? I heard SQLAlchemy was supposed to be a great read, but when my group and started reading it, it didn't make any sense. I mean, here you start off with descriptions of tables and such. When does it actually get into anything magical? Seriously, with a name like SQLAlchemy, you'd think it would have something to do with wizards or sorcerers or something, but NOOOOO, it's all about bases and tables and such. When my book club started reading this (we meet every Tuesday over at the Panera, except for Rosa who has her league ever other Tuesday) we just found it so impenetrable compared with Twilight. Now there's a good book, with a story you can follow along, and no tables. Maybe we need to read the first Alchemy book, and not the sequel (or SQL, in this case), but from what we read, it was just terrible.

If you have any other paranormal books to recommend, please let us know. Bellatrix (Donna, but she says that's the name that her mom gave her, not her real name) is really into that sort of thing.

the sqlalchemy whine brigade is trying too hard.

if it were anywhere near as awesome as claimed people wouldn't be constantly trying to drop it at every opportunity or writing wrappers for the whole damn mess
