This was the second book in the Atlee Pine series. It was an excellent read allowing you to dive in deep to the story and lots of twists and turns along the way. Great pacing and excited to finish up the trilogy. This book is a strong recommend. Excited to see the conclusion of the…

This is the first of the trilogy. I do like thrillers written by David Baldacci and this was no exception. He tells the story in such a way that you just hope it is a work of fiction. Beautifully written and great pacing with a ninja assassin. If you’re looking for a strong female lead…

Book 12 of the Animorphs series. I do say I have a weakness for books that explore a concept. This one did just that and showed how it was addressed in the context of the storyline. So I liked this one. Definitely in my top 20. Go pacing but like so many others, nothing in…

This was less of a novel and more what the title says it is. That said I thoroughly enjoyed it. Gave me a lot to think about. I borrowed this book, but have put it on my Amazon wishlist to purchase. Although I read it through from start to finish, I think it would be…

Alex Cross book 29. I was surprised as many know how much I love the Alex Cross book. But this one just felt like it was all over the place. It also comes down to the fact that I do not know how the story conclusion would be any different without him. Feels like a…

Book 11 of Animorphs. At the same time, a book that could have just been called stories from the Animorphs. Maybe the title should have been, “What never happened”. This was the all too familiar story of “Let’s tell you that we need to conserve the rainforest”. Don’t get me wrong it was entertaining, but…

Book 10 of the Animorphs series. A delightful twist in the tail and some good meat to chew on. Of the series so far this was my favorite. I do like a story that poses a good psychological / ethical question. If you’ve been holding out trying to decide if you want to read on…

Animorphs book 9. This one was exciting if not pointless. It was fun but they really accomplished nothing for all the story and plot. This book could have been put anywhere in the series and it would not have made a difference. Was there a conflict that was resolved? Yes. But very self contained and…

Animorphs book 8. This time we get to see the world through Ax’s eyes. We learn the word nothlit but this book really fleshed out the world and helped us to better understand. However no great victories this time. There are lots of questions answered and the pacing was good. Still strong recommend for reluctant…

This is book 16 of the Boxcar Children. A mysterious house serves as the center of this book. Well at least the inhabitants of said house. The flow f the story was fine but overall it felt very Brady Bunch-y. That said it was a good quick read and for those enjoying these stories so…
