  • The Castle Mystery

    Book 33 of the Boxcar Children. This was a fun fast paced mystery with plenty of suspects and lots of motives. The reveal was perfect and a secret passageway was an awesome addition.

  • The Illusion

    Book 33 of Animorphs. I really enjoyed the idea on this one and hope that the author capitalized on what happens in this book in future stories. We do get introduced to a new villain and I loved the back story. The series continues to fire on all cylinders.

  • The Great Gatsby

    What can you say about a classic that is so powerful it makes you want to write something similar. Or that so many years later is reproduced as a movie yet again. For it’s genera I feel that this work is as great as Lord of the Rings was for the fantasy genera our pivotal…

  • The Separation

    Book 32 of Animorphs. This book was a fun twist on the Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde story. A definite look at the juxtaposing personalities in all of us. While there is a confrontation with the Yerks, this was mainly about the group themselves. And I did like that the ending like so many in…

  • The Promise of Discipleship

    In this book Neal A Maxwell talks about what it is to be a disciple. The path is fraught with a plethora of problems. If you’re looking to become a more dedicated disciple then this is one I would recommend you not miss. I felt uplifted and enlightened as I read it.

    Book 31 of the Animorphs series. This one I call a tribute to those to fight for their country and return with invisible emotional scars. Fast paced with hard decisions. Aside from then going on the offensive for once you also get to see a confrontation between Jake and Tom. I expect the author to…

  • Desecration

    Book 9 of the Left Behind series. This one was action packed making up for the last book. I love how the protagonist becomes crueler and crueler while claiming to be holier and holier. What I really have enjoyed is how the characters become more and more human. The author has really hit their stride…

  • Ultralearning

    This book talks about ways we can utilize to increase our learning speed. What I really liked about this book is that the focus is on hard work. I love that there is no magic pill. To paraphrase David Ramsey, Study like no one else so you will learn like no one else. This book…

  • The Reunion

    Book 30 of the Animorphs. This was greatly exciting. The best part was that it left you wondering how much longer the charade would last. This was per usual and undecided victory. The action was high and the twists varied. I enjoyed this one but still wish for a little something more that the series…

  • The Mystery at the Dog Show

    Book 35 of the Boxcar Children. This was a quick fun read. The Alden children find themselves in another mystery as strange things begin happening to spoil a dog show. There are plenty of suspects and good motivations. Can you figure out our before they do?
