  • Sweeney Todd and The String of Pearls

    This was the Hollywood Theater of the Early Version. It was well done and leaves you with the creepy feeling that could only come from such despicable people. The storyline is well done and all of the characters fit the bill well. A wonderful example of the deepest horrors that could be committed. Hope you…

  • Deny All Charges

    Book 2 of the Artemis Fowl Twins series. This is a fun second novel. The story is very reminiscent of the original Artemis Fowl series. I have enjoyed the series and this one finally took us a new way. If you enjoy fast thinking and fast acting then you’ll enjoy this. Looking forward to book…

  • The Fowl Twins

    Book 1 of the spinoff trilogy based on the popular Artemis Fowl series. This has a new cast of characters and new villains, but overall it is the same action packed story and any of the previous. I am hoping to grow to love these characters, but overall it just has the feel of a…

  • The Last Guardian

    Book 8 of Artemis Fowl. This final book in the series is full of earth-ending destruction and peril. Fast-paced and unthinkable odds and all that you’ve come to expect. I was a little let down by the series ending as I really would have liked the hinted at ending at least promised. Maybe it will…

  • The Atlantis Complex

    Book 7 of the Artemis Fowl series. This one is a while new direction for the series. Oh the world isn’t in peril but definitely Artemis is. I love that this is a look at mental disabilities. It also was great to see a different villain. What I am excited to see is if the…

  • The Little Prince

    A classic novel that hits hard even being as short as it is. A definition of great things coming in small packages. The metaphors and various imagery stays with you long after the end of this short tale. If you’ve never read it, it is time. Pick this one up.

  • The Time Paradox

    Book 6 of the Artemis Fowl series. This was an exciting romp through time and almost a continuation of the previous book in a way. The twist on this one was fantastic and totally to the story a different way. Magnificently done. If you’re ready strap in to the fast-paced adventure with maybe a hint…

  • The Lost Colony

    Book 5 of Artemis Fowl. This is a real in-depth look at demons and how they relate in the Artemis Fowl universe. Lots of madmen and plenty of danger as the boy genius saves the world yet again. This series stays strong with this latest installment. Strap in and be prepared for fast-paced action.

  • The Opal Deception

    Book 4 of the Artemis Fowl series. This was the standard world is endangered by a megalomaniac. The differing factor from the previous book is that we lose a dear character. It would have been cool if the author would have explored those emotions a touch more as it had a little less of an…

  • Psych-Cybernetics

    This classic self-help book is focused on self-image and really the negative stories we tell ourselves. I have seen this time and again coaching and really do feel strongly about the topic. I love that this approaches it both from a scientific and religious methodology. I highly recommend this book and am looking to get…
