Bestselling authors are often suspect in my mind. I tend to be very cynical about the taste (or lack of) of the average American reader. So I approached Bruce Wilkinson’s book “Secrets of the Vine” with the heart of a skeptic. I am happy to say, that at least …

enjoyed reading this book because …

I am reviewing the book, Angel’s Unaware, written by Elizabeth Storm. This book was written in 1997 and runs 327 pages long. Anyone familiar with Quantum Leap is familiar with Dr. Sam Beckett and Admiral Al Calavicci, not to mention Gooshie, Ziggie, and all the others along …

This is a very large used bookstore located in the heart of downtown Milwaukee. It has three floors of books, magazines, DVDs, cds, comic books and records. Out of the three floors, the second floor is the smallest and mainly is just a single room. I’ve visited this store …

So, we come to the end of this five book, unnecessarily drawn-out series. After four books, none of which I enjoyed, we come to the final (hopefully, considering Kiera Cass enjoys extending her book series) installment of ‘The Selection’ series. The first three books focused on America Singer and …

Artemis Fowl is one of my all-time favorite books! There is a total of 7 books in the series, and this is the first one. I highly recommend reading these books! The book has even been said to be the “next Harry Potter”!

After having read the first book in this trilogy (Eternal Eden), I really wasn’t motivated at all to move onto the second instalment of indecisive annoying Bryn and William the creep. But, since I can’t leave a series like that midway, of course, I did pick up the second …

Puppet is the first book I’ve read by Joy Fielding. I liked it very much. Like “Lost” that I reviewed earlier, I’d call it a women’s thriller. It doesn’t depend just on action for it’s suspense, There is considerable character development and the reader spends a good deal of …

Raymond Carver’s final book will depress you. Keep that in mind. It’s a good book, very elegant, not very diverse but somehow extremely original in it’s own way. However, it is extremely depressing. I didn’t say it’s sad, mind you. I mean, it is sad, but that’s not the …

Seduction of Peter S was written by Lawrence Sanders and published by Berkley Book in 1983.

Having read Fatherhood, this is far from Bill Cosby’s best work. It’s light and mildly funny and it’s a decent beach read, but I would not really recommend it unless it is being purchased for a die-hard Billy Cosby fan or is found in a discount bin. …

If I could describe this book in one word, it definitely it would be “extensive.” Extensive as a notion, as issues that are presented and also as a contrast between communities and races. The whole concept is a combination of multi-layered thoughts, descriptive differences in the warring races and …

Some parents dream of and encourage their children to become doctors, lawyers, and politicians. If their children dream of simpler jobs, such as painting or writing, the parents discourage them and push them toward their own dreams. As a result, the children may become adults heading down, or well …
