Book one of the Gideon series was not too bad. There are four books in total. Eric Jerome Dickey is an African American author and the main character of this series is the same race. The story is about a hit-man named Gideon and his exploits in his job …

Bad Company was written by Steve Wick and published by Harcourt Bruce Jovanovich in 1990.
This is one story that left me feeling totally apathetic. The protagonists were schemers as well as dregs of society. Though it is sad to be murdered, the victim himself was too stubborn …

The Golem’s Eye consists of 4 major sections outlined in 48 chapter . The story opens with a prologue that tells Gladstone when attacked Prague in 1868, when Bartimaeus had a teacher was a witch who came from Czech. Of course, this prologue is related to the conflict which …

Nagging for Beginners, written by Wendy Harmer, is a very fun book to read, from my point of view. The graphics are simply nice and it has this picture of a caricature woman of some sort and looking like she’s doing nothing but just nagging. Nice, funny image, …

One of my favorite online activities is search for ebooks, especially the free ones. (Does it sound familiar?) This searches led me to a website named Books on Board.
Books on Board is not a free-ebook website. Most digital books there are to be sold; only a few are …

I have read the book —˜Teach yourself body language’ written by Gordon Wainwright. This is an excellent book. The author has done a great job. Everyday, we come across other people and we look at their bodies, but the vast majority of us do not make any attempt to …

The book Speak was adapted into a movie that really is better than the book. Both are a little confusing and slow, but the book really is worse. It is alright with the story, and the girl trying to get over being attacked and all, but it just kind …

I look for the Handyman magazine to come in the mail each month. I love it! As soon as I get it, I look at it before any other mail. I go right then and look to see what new projects are highlighted for the new month.
My daughter and …

Babyproofing Your Marriage: How to Laugh More and Argue Less As Your Family Grows by Stacie Cockrell, Cathy O’Neill and Julia Stone is super amazing. With 3 authors, you can never go wrong definitely. This book is like the Black Beauty of a book. One that aspiring …

There’s no doubt that Dungeons and Dragons is the biggest and most popular role playing game of all time. However, I personally like the smaller, or less well known ones, such as Ironclaw, a furry-themed RPG where people play as anthropomorphic animals. This does have a pretty big following, …

I had watched the movie The Perfect Storm several years ago and, therefore, had some expectations for the book. Since the movie dealt exclusively with the adventures of the crew of the Andrea Gail swordfish boat before and during a terrible storm, I excepted the book to read …

James Patterson is one of the most prolific writers of our time. Or any other time for that matter. He is a master of mystery and suspense. He will have at least 7 new ones, some with a co author, out in 2008, but for now his latest …

“One Inch Tall” is one of the most successful products of Shel Silverstein’s clever yet silly ideas. Considered an all-time favorite, Silverstein retells the childhood dream of seeing the world as a one inch tall figure in an imaginative first person poem. Despite having a laid-back and conversational style, Silverstein …

This book is written in the same manner of Michael Chrichton’s medical science fiction thrillers. This book I think is better in a book format rather than its online version. At 52 chapters it is just too long to have to read online. This is a …

Grave Surprise is written by Charlaine Harris and for an author, she really has a unique name. In this book she writes again a very good book which I’m not surprised if it hits the bestseller’s list like her previous novels which linger on the realms of mysteries and …

This review is for Come Back, a novel by Mia and Claire Fontaine. The memoir is nothing short of extraordinary. The book is a memoir, although I am not sure if anything was embellished, a la James Frey. It seems frank and honest, painfully so.
The book starts in the …

If you read the Sherlock Holmes stories, you would never think Sir Arthur Conan Doyle had a twisted mind. But, his story, The Case of Lady Sannox will convince you otherwise.
I wasn’t sure what to think when I was reading this story. I knew something bad was going to …

I love to read everyday and I go through at least 4 books a week. I received this book from my mother-in-law which I thought might be fun to read called Plum Spooky. I started reading it that day during my painting breaks and finished reading it by the …

Killer’s Wedge was written by Ed McBain, and published by New American Library in 1974.
Ingenious of McBain to have everything happened and resolved within a day - the main drama inside a police station without the presence of the person who was the fundamental cause of the crisis.
It started …

This book is, I think, a masterpiece in gothic romanticism. I came to the book with all the preconceptions about Frankenstein’s monster that I presume most people have. Lightening bringing the monster to life and the mad scientist screaming “It’s alive!” The original novel is nothing like this at …

The Better Homes and Gardens new cookbook is one of those books I always needed, but did not know I wanted it until I began checking it out from the library. I am not a reader of the magazine itsel, but after reading their new cookbook I was impressed …

This is the first novel by V.C. Andrews that I read and it was truly superb. The suspense in the story was so good that I actually read the entire book, all 423 pages, in a single afternoon. While I have read many great books in the past few …

Honus and Me, an adventure book by Dan Gutman is really a great book about the old baseball legend Honus Wagner. If you love baseball books that have a good story line then you will love “Honus and Me”. I love how Dan Gutman really got inside of …

Though it has been several years since I first read this book, I still have vivid memories of its wonderful storyline and characters. This is one of the most moving novels I’ve ever read, and, in my opinion, one of the best that Picoult has ever written.
While this book …

Essential Art History’s title is quite a claim for anyone to make for a single book, and one which in actual appearance is fairly unassuming, being no more than a medium-sized hardback of a little over 300 pages, albeit one with a rather startling bright blue front cover. This …

This is the fifth book in Sweet Valley’s The Unicorn Club series and right now we have an additional member namely Evie Kim. She’s a very sweet gal who is just like Elizabeth Wakefield and Maria Slater and this is her story to tell.
In this book the Unicorns are …

I wanted to like this arc, I really did. Admittedly, it has been a long, long time since I read the last issue, so of course I’m going to be a tad lost, but even taking that into account, I didn’t really care.
You have a war …

I am a book lover. Therefore, it stands to reason that my first review will that be of a book. One of my favorite authors is Judith McNaught and of all her books my favorite is, Paradise.
Paradise is about the story of Matthew Farrell …

Her books are so consistent in …

Out of Whack, written by Jeff Strand is a very funny book filled with very funny lines but there’s a downside to it that I don’t like. The racy scenes in it. But then again, at the end of it, author Jeff has given readers a moral lesson …

This is the book that help me cope up with the difficulties of loosing a job. A book about the power of the mind. It helps on how to set your goal and actually attained it. How a person can be successful not only financially but mentally.

Lisa See is one of my favorite fiction writing authors. Lisa See primarily writes fiction stories centered in Asian culture, and when I’m reading her work, I love that I’m learning about new things while unraveling an intense, imaginative storyline. Sometimes the plot of See’s novels are set …

Published in 1963, “V.” is Thomas Pynchon’s first novel. He was in his early twenties when he wrote it, which probably sounds disheartening for many wannabe novelists who require years and maybe decades to find their voice.
“V.” is a very complex novel, which one can read in …

Star Trek: The Next Generation - All Good Things… Novelization is a story that, like the episode series finale itself, all about the character of Jean-Luc Picard. Pretty much the entire novelization is presented from his perspective and thus does not allow the reader to get into the minds …

I think that The Best Kept Secret by Janet Reibstein is a real winner. I enjoyed reading this book very much and this book teaches me a lot of things about a relationship. The author has put on a very comprehensive understanding and there are like 200 couples …

Whether or not a “drinking culture” actually exists, its absence is bound to become noticeable. There is a particular type of excellent alcoholic among people who drink regularly, whose simplicity and carefree nature give no reason for disgust and anger to those around them.
A striking representative of dirty realism, …

Don’t stop me now is a hilarious compilation of reviews Jeremy Clarkson has written about cars. Each review has a charming hook that sometimes has you wondering how he is going to segue into cars, but he always manages it comfortably. Once in a while it can be a …

“Christmas Day in the Morning” is a book that was authored by Pearl S. Buck and illustrated by Mark Buehner. This is a great book for both kids and adults and perhaps best when read together. The story this book tells is a simple one, but it’s a story …

I love books like this; The Beauty Myth: How Images of Beauty are Used Against Women: by Naomi Wolf. This is a very powerful-voice type of book and if you are a woman, you have to make it a point to read books like this. It has such …

The Truth About Forever by Sarah Dessen is a book that is so heartfelt it made me cry. There are parts of the book that are just so real you could picture them and then there are the parts which are kind of sappy. I like how the writer …

The fact that the book “The Road” written by Cormac McCarthy is not fully accepted as an acceptable book that should be read at many schools throughout the United States by its students is not as farfetched as a claim as I once thought it was. When I, Ryne …

I love this book, That’s Another Story: The Autobiography by Julie Walters. Julie Walters is not only an awesome actress, this autobiography depicts life according to her own words.
You can read so many things about her in this book and she shared many things like her joy and laughter, …

This book was the first romance novel that I have ever read, and it really makes me want to read more. I guess I had the wrong idea about what a romance novel would read like. And, in complete truth, I didn’t realize that was what this book was …

I received this book as a birthday present last year from a well meaning friend who knows I like to make my own beaded jewelry.
