The Son (Kindle Single) (Divergent Series-Collector's Edition Book 3)
The Son (Kindle Single) (Divergent Series-Collector's Edition Book 3)

Review:I have read the whole Divergent series. Unbelievable on the edge of your seat writing. These follow up books on Four, give more insight to the character and his guarded feelings and deep seeded reasons that he is what he is.... Be sure to read these books in order. You won't be disappointed. Read more

Gentleman Jole and the Red Queen (The Vorkosigan Saga Book 17)

Review:What was this?! I have really enjoyed tthe series but the last couple of books have been something else, especially this one. Should have been filed under romance, not sci-fi or anything else. So upset over wasted money on ebook and narration. Read more

On a Pale Horse (Incarnations of Immortality - Bk. 1)
On a Pale Horse (Incarnations of Immortality - Bk. 1)

Review:The author is incapable, unfortunately, of writing believable characters. Regardless of ho the character in question is, they have one voice - his own.

The plot, in broad strokes, should be interesting. It deals with a mythos rarely touched upon. Unfortunately the heavy handed use of deus ex machina to extract the character from every situation leads to distress without gravity, conflict absent of risk.

Ultimately I'm not sure who the target audience is for this book. Surely anyone... Read more

Split Infinity (The Apprentice Adept, Book 1)
Split Infinity (The Apprentice Adept, Book 1)

Review:Anthony seems most at home with settings he can completely create from scratch. He is always entertaining, and this book is no exception. The theme is predictable(a normal man, the underdog, discovers hidden powers and becomes the beloved hero). Knowing how things will end gives you no clues about the ride there, however. Anthony's talent for conveying his seemingly boundless imagination to paper is on full display here. This book is absolutely enjoyable. The reader is fully immersed in Antho... Read more

Bearing an Hourglass (Incarnations of Immortality)
Bearing an Hourglass (Incarnations of Immortality)

Review:This book was a little weird. The part which brought it down to a "3 star" rating was where Time was trying to converse with someone going (directionally in time) opposite from him. You have to read whole sentences backward, and it gets really tedious! Read more

Libriomancer (Magic Ex Libris)
Libriomancer (Magic Ex Libris)

Review:Not something I would typically read but I'm glad I did. A different take on the paranormal where magic comes from interacting w books. I enjoyed the different books alluded to and there uses. Fun. Read more

The Short Stories, Volume I
The Short Stories, Volume I

Review:While I was reading The Paris Wife, I began wondering about some of the Hemingway stories which had intrigued me as a young student. These stories are meant to be re-visited many times over and I am delighted by the additional selections which I had never been familiar with. This collection needs to be in everyone's library. Long live wonderful Hemingway. Read more

A Mercy
A Mercy

Review:A Mercy delivers full bodied meaning to the lives of the women in the story and how they have to find themselves in the absence of the man who directs their lives. A powerful gripping read that makes you consider the ownership of people and how fragile bonds forged in this system of injustice have meaning. Read more

Review:Among the most incredible of authors, Ms. Morrison poetically delivers an enriching reading experience in such a raw, real, and somehow concise way. This book is one that will stay with me and opens my eyes in ways I have seldom encountered in other literature. Read more

Love: A Novel
Love: A Novel

Review:Morrison never ceases to surprise me. She is an American treasure. Her writing is lyrical, powerful, poetic, complex, and heart-wrenching. You will not be able to put this tale down once you start. One word of advice: Pay attention to every single detail, no matter how minute it might seem at the time. Even something like a look or a off-hand comment can later be of utmost importance. Enjoy!!! Read more
