He finds that the killers …

It’s a Mall World After All is a really good book by Janette Rallison. It is written for teenagers, and the author has a really good sense of humor. When I first saw it at my school’s book fair, I thought (based on the title) that the book would …

I was at my local bookstore yesterday trying to find a perfect book to read for the Halloween weekend when I saw Mitch Albom’s The Five People you meet in heaven. I have read Tuesdays with Morrie a lot of times for school and I fell in love with …

This book is somewhat helpful. I actually found many of the ideas in his book repetitive - a lot of the information is also contained in his other books. The focus didn’t seem too, well, focused on women, more on individuals.
A tricky thing about the book is that it …

I picked up this small hardback book as a funny stocking stuffer for my dad, and it’s one of my favorite things to pick up and browse through in the bathroom. Although it’s not big, it’s the perfect book for something entertaining while in the bathroom.
I got this book …

Ships of the Line - Star Trek was both a pleasure to look through as well as a disappointment. It was beautiful because it contained gorgeous artist-rendered shots of the various Enterprise starships as well as the Defiant and Voyager. This book contains illustrations of the ships in ways …

Normally I enjoy creature stories, but I found this book about a giant man-killing mosquito to be disappointing. For one, the main killer in this novel is another human and not the mosquito. The front cover has a drawing of the mosquito on it and the little blurb on …

‘Breaking Dawn’ is a satisfying close to the amazing Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer.
As usual, this book presents a roller coaster of emotion. You’re happy then you’re sad, worried then relieved. The twists and turns of the book are in some cases predictable, depending on what experiences you have …

This is probably the scariest book I have ever read in my entire life. I haven’t read much horror, probably only H.P.Lovecraft, really, and this book has not converted me to reading it, in that I doubt any horror book will ever be as abjectly terrifying as this book …

This children’s book by Roald Dahl is not quite as funny as some of his others, but still contains many of his zany ideas and funny words.
The story is of a boy, who Dahl does not give the name of, whose parents unfortunately die in a car accident. He …

Eric Tyson put this book together for fans of the …for Dummies series and, quite hoesntly, he dumbed down the topic to a degree that makes it pretty much worthless.
The basics are covered here: real estate, IPO’s, Certificates of Deposit, but none of it really amounts to a comprehensive …

While I still think Bram Stoker’s Dracula is the ultimate Vampire book, I have to admit one of the stories he drew inspiration from is pretty good too.
Sheridan Le Fanu’s novella Carmilla is an awesome story and, if I didn’t already know it was about a vampire, would have …

I finally decided to read Angelfall one day when browsing in my neighborhood library. I had been eyeing this book for some time but couldn’t really push myself to read it. To be matter of fact I didn’t even get past the front cover to read the short summary …

I have lots of James Patterson novels, and he is the author that I would someday like to meet and salute. I really respect his writings, and his stories are very movie-inspiring. He should make his books into movies.
The title of this book is Cross, and it …

The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying (Not to be confused with “The Tibetan Book of the Dead”) was written by Sogyal Rinpoche and provides what is, to my mind the most comprehensive and digestible expression of Tibetan Buddhism available. It’s written specifically for an audience that is totally …

“Behemoth” is the second book in the fantasy trilogy by Scott Westerfield that started with “Leviathan”. After reading the book I can say it is worth buying it. At the end of “Leviathan” prince Alec, the rightful heir to the throne of Austria-Hungary, escapes with his men on board …
