  • The Mystery of the Lost Village

    Book 37 of the Boxcar Children. This was an exciting book that felt well researched. Lots of cool Native American historical information sprinkled in (Navajo specifically). It was enough to make me want to look further into how the Native Americans lived and thrives in the wilds of North America. I suggest you do not…

  • Good Omens

    If you have watched the series you will see that they have done an outstanding job with the translation from the book. Have have enjoyed both the series and the book. Definitely a whole new way at looking at the end of days. I love the humor in this book along with the premise. The…

  • Siege Tactics

    Book 4 in the Spells, Swords, & Stealth series. A good read, still waiting for the two groups to converge. The party has grown stronger and a lot happens to move the story along. Overall the series keeps me going but there still is a bit off with the pacing. Mostly with the non main…

  • How to Tell a Story

    This book was specific to the experiences related to The Moth. That said it was still very insightful to the various tools that a storyteller can utilize to properly convey a story. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to improve their delivery on a story or that feels they have a wonderful…

  • Going Rogue

    Book 3 in the Spells, Swords, & Stealth series. Really enjoyed this one. There were a few inappropriate words that I think the novel would have been even better without. The concept is very interesting and this book went further to blur the reality between the game and the real world. I am very excited…

  • Armageddon

    Book 11 of the Left Behind series. This is right at the end. I am very curious what the next two books are about. Lots of death in this one. Key figures are finally killed off. The end of this book is not cheery at all and leaves me wanting to get into the next…

  • The Remnant

    Book 10 of the Left Behind series. This was what the lady book was missing, plenty of curses and plenty miracles. This book keeps you on edge all the way through. I enjoyed this title and am looking forward to the next.

  • The Prophecy

    Book 34 of Animorphs. This was a deepening story not a major confrontation. The only thing that makes this interesting is that perhaps this could create a cavalry situation later in the series. Other than that, this is not a must read for the series. That said it was still a fun read.

  • Roadwork

    This is a Richard Bachman/Stephen King novel with a really nice forward by Stephen King. This novel was a stroll down crazy lane. I loved that with this antihero you could relate with the loss he had and then the roadwork states and he slowly goes into a deep dark depression. I love that there…

  • Firestarter

    What can be said about the writing of a master? The book was delightful and engaging. He does a superb job at making the characters real. The situation is engaging and leaves you pondering long after you put down the novel. Recommend for mature audiences.
