  • Deadly Cross

    Ok. I know. Guilty pleasure time again. Of course I am enjoying another Alex Cross novel, don’t judge me too harshly. Obviously this is not an objective review as I really do like what James Patterson has done with the characters over time. That said, “I hate you James for this book.” Actually, love the…

  • Elon Musk

    This biography by Ashlee Vance gives insight into this larger than life business tycoon. If you think you would like to be like an Elon Musk or Bill Gates or Steve Jobs, I would challenge you to learn a little more about them. This book gives not only insight to the man but a fair…

  • The Vampire Prince

    If you’ve been following the adventures (and enjoying) of Darren Shan, then you will enjoy this release. This one completes the last book with a little twist in the end. I am excited to see where the Cirque du Freak series takes us next. I do hope that it builds on some of the relationships…

  • Gregor and the Code of Claw

    Exciting wrap up, just not thrilled with the ending. It is fine for an ending of a book, but not for the series. Defiantly leaves us saying, “So you going to actually finish the series?” I guess if you’re one of those hey novels should be like life without the nice bow completing everything. You…

  • Revenge of the Invisible Boy

    In the series this has been the mildest one yet. Invisibility is fun for a short time. Fun enough for a short read. I still recommend it especially for those younger audiences. Stand alone.

  • The Dummy Meets the Mummy

    SlappyWorld strikes again. This one starts off more gorey than any of the previous novels. However, it does settle down after that into a normal Goosebumps tale. As with the others in the series, it is stand alone. Enjoy but be forewarned about the beginning.

  • It’s Alive! It’s Alive!

    The next Goosebumps SlappyWorld novel. Also stand alone. This one is fun with its twists and turns. If you’re a fan I don’t have to sell you on this one. This is fun with robotics and takes a different turn than I expected. A fun little read and about average for scary for someone age…

  • The Ghost of Slappy

    Book 6 in the SlappyWorld series. Also stand alone albeit it would like to see a sequel to this one. I enjoyed the characters and would like to see a resolution to the feud(s) with them all in danger of Slappy. But we will have to see. This book defiantly answers what is worse than…

  • Escape from Shudder Mansion

    The next in the SlappyWorld series. Again stand alone and entertaining. Definite elements that don’t quite fit together but for the age they would go unnoticed. It is another tale hosted by Slappy but he does not appear in the story. I am hoping like in previous series he pulls all the stories together in…

  • Please don’t feed the weirdo.

    Back to SlappyWorld. These are stand alone novels so far, it will be interesting to see if the next one ties together or if it will be stand alone again. Warning – vomiting and monster scenes. For a young kid I do think this would be terrifying for anyone else it is another Goosebumps story.…
