  • Dragon Bones

    This was book 2 of the Unwanteds Quests. This was a good read. The pacing was on, I do wish that the twists were a little less predictable, but I guess that is what I get for reading YA. Aside from that the story line was good and no actual dragons were injured in the…

  • Dragon Captives

    This is the spin-off series for the Unwanteds. This was a good read. If you enjoyed the Unwanteds then you will enjoy this one. Personally I still feel like something is missing to this writing. I feel that it might be the lack of a thinking question. The pacing is great and the formula for…

  • The Dead Zone

    If you could go back and kill Hitler, would you? This is the idea behind this Stephen King novel. I really loved this novel, albeit I will warn that it has definite adult content. If you can get past those parts this novel like all of Mr. King’s will get you thinking. Being able to…

  • The Meritocracy Trap

    I enjoyed this perspective to the condition of the workforce and what got us here. Twenty years ago my professors we talking about the diminishing middle class. This gives an explanation to why that is happening. It also pushes very hard on how the elite are continuing to pull ahead. All that said the book…

  • The Pretender

    Book 23 of the Animorphs. This was not the all out fire fight that previous books have been. Did it have a skirmish? Yes. But mostly it was steeped in character development for Tobias. This was an excellent view of a teenage boy trying to figure out who he is. The author nailed that albeit…

  • Soul Harvest

    This was book 4 in the Left Behind series. Still high paced action giving picture of life as we progress through the Book of Revelations. I enjoyed this one albeit I am uncertain how the twist they threw into this one lays out. You’ll have to see what you think. This book to me felt…

  • Nicolae

    Book 3 of the Left Behind series. If you want a gripping story that will pull you along and yet be a convincing interpretation of the final days as outlined by the Book of Revelations then this series will keep you on the edge of your seat. I highly recommend it this far even if…

  • The Solution

    This is book 22 of the Animorphs. This book is very dark and is the end of the mini series. Although I really enjoyed it, I would warm younger readers again these three books until they could handle the dark subject matter. If I were to grade these three books against all the others so…

  • The Threat

    Book 21 of the Animorphs. This was as exciting as the last one. I like the overall theme of this mini part of the series. The last book and this one both ended in a “to be continued”. This is a new ploy by the author to get you excited for the next book and…

  • The Stand

    This is a very long read and worth every word. After spending 2020 talking about Covid this book sure has a lot of relevance. Such an interesting idea and moving characters. A lot of points to ponder that make this a gem. The plot keeps you reading and enjoying. Just remember to never trust your…
