  • Bones

    Haunting Alex Delaware novel. This one was good and I enjoyed it. The pacing was good and it had a decent twist. That said there is some good and bad with this novel. Overall, I did enjoy it. But it had some identity crisis in what it wanted to be. We spend a bunch of…

  • Turn about fair play?

    For those who follow my reviews, I do have to say turn about is fair play. A friend and I just put a set of short stories up on Amazon. They are just a little something to get you in the mood for Halloween. Price is $2.99, but then isn’t it priceless to review a…

  • Dungeon Eturnium

    The last of the divine dungeon series. Sad to see it end but all things must come to an end. Did I enjoy this one? Yes, did it still leave some loose ends that I wish had been cleared up? Yes. Was it still a fun and satisfying read? Yes. If you decide to pick…

  • Dungeon Desolation

    Yes, I liked this one and it kept me enthralled through the whole book. Super excited to be starting the final book in the series. This series is on my recommended list. I enjoyed the pacing and the steps of increase. This ended exactly where I figured it would. The next book should take us…

  • Dungeon Calamity

    To say that Dakota Krout novels are my guilty pleasure would be spot on. This novel kept me pushing forward waiting to see what happens next. This novel reveals more about the dungeon’s history. Should be interesting what happens in the next two books. This book could be a series completion, but would leave the…

  • Tuesdays with Morrie

    There are few books that are life changers. This is one of those books. This book makes you want to be better. It really puts into perspective the consumerism and lack of forgiveness that exist in our culture. Also, I feel we have become more partially present instead of being where we are. The three…

  • The Crucible

    A book about the Salem witch trials and jealousy. I listen the the play done by the BBC staring Richard Dreyfus. If you get the chance I highly recommend it. This is an interesting time and speaks to how people can become overzealous and forgo logic and sound reasoning. This book / play will give…

  • Harry Potter: A History of Magic

    This was a very interesting read. It reads like a discovery channel special. It talks about all the magic surrounding items discussed in the Harry Potter series. It was very interesting and delves into that unseeable world of magic. It struck me how the history of the creature plays into a lot of modern schools.…

  • The Lord of Opium

    This is the sequel to The House of Scorpion. Continuing the story we get to see the changing of the guard. As a stand alone it is not as good as the first book, but the writing was good. I did not like that the author killed off the guide character just to reinsert the…

  • As a Man Thinketh

    This short classic book by James Allen is by far more thought provoking than epic novels. We as humans first learn to walk and talk and gain mastery of our physical bodies, but how much more elevated do we become we we gain mastery of our minds. This is the topic and speaks to the…
