The Thirteenth Tale: A Novel by Diane Setterfield
The Thirteenth Tale: A Novel by Diane Setterfield quite a scary story altogether. There are simply too many mysteries to uncover that you will find yourself pretty scared. I was reading some pages at night and I got a bit creep out, really. And then, I had …
Deadly Gift by Heather Graham book
Although I loved all of the other books I have read by Heather Graham, I didn’t care for this one as much as the others. It just seemed to me there was too much arguing between the characters in this book and that spoiled it for me somewhat. One …
Out - mystery novel by Natsuo Kirino
This book, Out, by Natsuo Kirino, is a chilling tale. The writing makes everything seem very believable and real, and I was very absorbed in the events of the book. I actually found myself feeling angry at how one person was treated. The omniscient narrator made each character feel …
Sex by Henry Stanton
I was bored the other evening so I was looking through my bookshelves for something a bit different. That’s when I came across the 1922 book by Henry Stanton entitled “Sex.”
Considering the book was advertising itself as offering information on a subject that people refused to talk about, I …
Time For Kids Almanac 2008 With Fact Monster
In 2007, I bought Time For Kids Almanac 2008 With Fact Monster for myself. Not that I’m fed up reading novels full of text from the beginning till the end—”not a sight of pictures at all; reading novel leaves visual to our imagination. Nevertheless reading books with colorful pictures …
Essential Ghost Rider 2
Ghost Rider remains one of the more curious Marvel superheroes. Part of the reason for this was the fact that Marvel really had to idea of what to do with him when he debuted in the 1970’s. Was his the star of a horror book? A superhero book? Or …
Stuart Little by E.B. White
This classic children’s book is one that I think everyone can still enjoy. The story of a mouse born to humans is still an interesting idea, especially all the cunning things the Little family did to accomodate their smaller son.
An interesting character was Snowflake the cat. It seems odd …

This is a good book to purchase if your child is learning to read on their own. The vocabulary is very basic and the sentences are short and easy to understand. I liked the fact that the words are in larger print to make it easier for …
Vigilante Mini Series
One of DC Comics’ most underrated series of the 1980’s was the shortlived (50 issue) series VIGILANTE, which dealt with Adrian Chase, DC’s resident Punisher rip-off. Well, rip-off in the sense that he was a similar character, but the quality of the stories was SIGNIFICANTLY better than the lame …

Night Sky , by Clare Francis book
I usually don’t read World War Two books, they are my nemesis, as are most realistic, and, in my eyes, therefore boring books. I read fantasy and historical novels and nothing else, therefor it is quite a feat for this book to be on my ‘love it’ list.
After reading …
The Leather Funnel
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is most famous for his mystery books. But, I have to admit, his story, The Leather Funnel, is a bit creepy.
I’m not sure how true the narrative is; he tells the tale in first person and I’m not sure if it’s an event he actually …

The Perfect Storm by Sebastian Junger book

1984 by George Orwell
You can actually tell apart a piece of timeless classic from a timely fad by how long it takes to actually get out of style. the book eclipse for example is a timely fad that enthralled the hearts and minds of teenagers, (most of them women) from almost every …
Unhallowed Ground by Heather Graham Book

Happy Holidogs book
My daughter recently purchased the book Happy Holidogs at a book exchange at her school. I wasn’t sure what to expect from it, but it did turn out to be a somewhat decent book.

In spite of its title, this book has absolutely nothing to do with the fairly recent film, so do not be misled! Instead it is another entry in Puffin’s original range of Fighting Fantasy gamebooks. This was number 47, coming out in 1992, and by this time there was …
