I’ve never read a story about infidelity as crystal clear as this kind of story, The Infidelity Chain by Tess Stimson before. There are 5 characters that are all linked by the word infidelity and they are all in one way or another having this problem as well as …

I recommend reading this book, He’s Scared, She’s Scared: Understanding the Hidden Fears That Sabotage Your Relationships by Stephen Carter and Julia Sokol. Normally, in my point of view, if there are 2 authors, chances are the book contents would definitely be super awesome.
And I’m not kidding …

I love, love, and will continue to love reading. No Internet or e-books can replace a tattered volume with exciting content. Recently I reread something by Dreiser, namely “Jennie Gerhardt.”
The novel is extraordinary. Although there’s nothing in the story itself that would make me completely enthralled. No sharp twists, …

The story centers around a doctor of South …

“Dinosaur!” by Peter Sis is a complete waste of time. I can hardly even call it a children’s book. This book apparently retails for an astonishing $16.99 in the United States. Anyone who would pay that price for this book must be insane. It is not …

This book is an unique and interesting retelling of the classic fairy tale, Beauty and the Beast. Rose Daughter by Robin McKinley is yet another of McKinley’s interesting books, which can be enjoyed by all ages (although they often seem more geared toward young people).
In this book, Beauty, a …

To me ‘Mere Christianity’ was a life-changing book. I read it when I didn’t know a lot about Chistianity and about being a Christian and it changed my whole perspective on it. I believe that you can’t read this book without experiencing some sort of transformation in your system …

OK, I hated the movie but people kept telling me the book Twilight was really good. And, since I found it in a bargain bin at Wal-mart (usually not a good sign for books by the way), I figured I would give it a chance.
I was right, it wasn’t …

I must say, this is way different than Twilight and in my opinion, a lot better. It targets a more mature reading audience and manages to keep your attention throughout the pages. You can’t really decide whose side you are on until the very end.
It deals with a little …

I have to wonder to myself, why don’t people learn? It’s been well established since the early days of the 20th century that just because something is popular, or works, in one medium, that doesn’t automatically mean that it will work in another. Yet we still have dozens of …

I used this text book when I was in grade three in prep school, and it helped me several times to do a few assignments and projects I got when I was younger. Although I’m not sure if they still use these Carlong Primary Social Studies Books, I know …

Spare me blushes. I submitted a review of “A Thousand Splendid Suns” in which I referred to my review of “Kite Runner” by the same author. When I was checking through my records I discovered I had failed to submit the original review. My apologies.

I had heard about the short novel Animal Farm but never really knew what it was. But, since I had finished reading another book by George Orwell (1984) I figured it wouldn’t hurt to read that one as well.
