How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents
How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents

Review:I read How the García Girls Lost Their Accents by Julia Alvarez published by Plume in 1991. This book is about four sisters, Carla, Sandra, Yolanda, and Sofia, who lived a happy and luxurious childhood in the Dominican Republic. Their father, Carlos, was part of a rebellion against the dictator of the Dominican Republic during the 1950's so they had do leave the country. They went to New York where they had trouble adjusting to the new culture and a new way of life. The mother, Lola, had a hard ... Read more

Review:Did you ever try to find your hands in your dreams? I tried. And succeeded. All by myself, without any fancy workshops. And now I am thinking - if this technique works, could all the rest in Castaneda books be true? What do you think? Read more

The Lost Choice : A Legend of Personal Discovery

Review:If you can imagine, the time is 3:30 AM, like in the morning, and I am reading The Lost Choice. I found the book compelling and I was unable to put it down. I particularly like not only what Andy Andrews had to write about, I liked the way he wrote it. It was extremely interesting, held my attention and conveyed a most worthwhile message. If you read his first book, The Traveler's Gift, you can understand that something you do can ultimately change the world. The Lost Choice takes it a step... Read more

The Cosmic Battle of the Ages (Left Behind)
The Cosmic Battle of the Ages (Left Behind)

Review:While I know these are works of fiction, it gives a good look into what the coming our our Savior could be like. No one on earth knows the day or the hour, not even Christ when He will be told to have the horn sounded for His return to Rapture His 'bride' the church, the believers. Not all church goers are true believers, they just go through the motions. Good works alone will not get you into heaven. I am looking forward to adding and reading this issue and the next that will complete my set. Read more

The Legend of Shangri-La - Adventure Classic

Review:Bought a used copy of the book because it was cheaper and it was heavily used. For good reason, the story is wonderful and very captivating. At 231 pages it's a fairly quick read too and I was unable to put it down.

Well worth the read and I heartily recommend to anyone, especially if they're at all interested in the legend of Shangri-La. Read more

Star Wars: Outbound Flight

Review:A novel which takes place when Anakin Skywalker is a teenager. An easy read but content is only fair as compared to other novels and series in the star wars environment. It does provide an introduction to Thrawn for future adventures in the galaxy Read more

Star Wars: Labyrinth of Evil
Star Wars: Labyrinth of Evil

Review:"Star Wars: Labyrinth of Evil" is written with wit and style, and has a well crafted, exciting plot. It takes us from where the novel "Yoda, Dark Rendezvous" leaves off, to where the movie "Episode III: Revenge of the Sith" begins. It also puts a blazing end to the on-going Clone War, and lays the foundation for the Galactic Empire that the Sith Lord, Darth Sidious, is plotting to establish. It begins with a big battle sequence. It then goes through one exiting action sequence after another, p... Read more
