The Shining
How do you rate a master of story telling? The book is good and very well paced. I thought for sure we were going to have the sudden appearance of the bad guy again. I am happy with the ending and in a way it reminds me a touch of the ending of metamorphosis. Plot…

The Divine Gift of Forgiveness
A book on the redemptive power of repentance. This book dives into topics about forgiving other and finding forgiveness for yourself. The book is broken up into topics and refers a lot to scriptural texts. If you’re trying to find peace and joy in your life this is a good book to pick up.

Podkayne of Mars
If you are a Robert Heinlein fan then you will get that this book is true to his form. It ends unexpectedly almost like it wanted it to be more and yet it wasn’t. Low on my recommend list just because it ended abruptly and I am not sure how the ending fits with any…

The Life of Pi
I enjoyed the background and insights to animals and zoos. That has nothing to do with the shipwreck portion. I love the two viewpoints of the same experience, leaving it to the reader what really happened. The story moves well and keeps you turn the pages. This is a story you will not regret reading.

The Art of Mindful Living
This was a fantastic little book. If you are looking for a way to better your perspective and live in the moment it is a must read. If you are wanting to better understand meditation, it is a must read. If you are struggling with life, it is still a must read.

Hearing the voice of the Lord
This was a good book written about personal revaluation. If you are struggling this is an excellent book to give you some direction in life. If you wonder how the Lord influences your life give this a read and ponder on ways you could enhance your relationship to him.

Toys
If you want the normal James Patterson, then don’t read this. The writing was not as bad as I have seen other reviewers state. This IS NOT a thriller. This is a dystopian Sci-Fi. You’ve been warned. Given that there were a lot of predictable parts in the plot and had incestial overtones, the book…
