Review:I was steered towards Algernon Blackwood’s The Wendigo by someone who read my admiring review of The Willows, another creepy, wonderfully written novella or long short story by Blackwood.

And I must say that I found The Wendigo an even more unsettling read, though also showing Blackwood’s particular interest and strength – the wild, wild, natural world, far from civilisation, and how that ancient world might be at best, indifferent to the puny biped who so often despoils and abuses it, bu...

Review:This book was beautifully written! I couldn’t put it down! The loved the emotions and the love between the couple was so beautiful and including the relationship between Cameryn and shayne just proves you don’t have to be a parent of the child to love them deeply. Read more

Review:As the last installment of this series, Kerry does a lovely job of tying up everyone's story. This last book focuses on Ian; describing his upbringing and how his mother shaped who he is today. The chapters Kerry writes about Ian as a child are heartbreaking and feel all too real. You can actually feel Ian's struggle and pain as a child dealing with a mother who has a mental disorder. I felt like Kerry could have gone just a little bit further in her chapters set in the present day. Some of the ... Read more

Review:I bought this book because one parent showed me their copy and I was hooked by what I saw. I had to have my own copy. This will help the students I tutor with their struggle with the subject of World History. SUPER informative and easy to understand. Read more

Review:Please, in the name of decency, write another novel in your series that picks up where Reflex left off -- in your own, original storyline -- and forget about the abysmal film adaptation and almost equally abysmal "Griffin's Story." Because no author should be forced to write fan fiction in his own universe. Mmmkay? At the very least, make something up about the movie timeline being a parallel universe to your first one.

As for Reflex itself, all the positive commentators here were righ... Read more

Review:What a great read. The veiled political commentary is irritating (I’m a conservative and the author is obviously a flaming liberal), but the writing is so clean, the characters so well done, and the plot so well developed, that I overlook that. This is really a good story. I am shocked that I hadn’t discovered it sooner. Now, I’m looking at some of the author’s other writings. Read more

Review:Informative and well-written little gem of a book. I had just finished reading Walter Isaacson's biography on Einstein so this short book by Michael Paterniti was a quirky follow-up about what became of Einstein's brain after his death. I had known nothing about this topic beforehand, but enjoyed Mr. Paterniti's interweaving of his own personal story, pertinent references to Einstein's life and works, and the introduction of the pathologist who performed Einstein's autopsy and then kept the br...

Review:This series is kinda going downhill IMO
Book 1: Teleportation, evil government body. 5 Stars
Book 2: Teleportation, evil private sector body. 5 Stars
Book 3: Teleportation, evil teenagers? Ends with evil private sector body. 4 Stars
Book 4: Teleportation....... And Space. Not the cool exciting faucets of space. But the ho-hum, "Lets explain how each and every part of my space program is put together and what it is made of, and where I got it." part. No lie, entire solid chapters on ... Read more

Review:Good enough story but the abundance of typos and spelling mistakes made it frustrating to read. This is a published novel people are paying for, we should be beyond the phase of 'hewent and gpt'. I expected better from amazon who are usually better than other ebook companies for trivial errors like this. Read more

Review:I was disappointed in this latest novel by Nicholas Evans because it was nowhere as good a story as his two previous novels, The Horse Whisperer and The Loop. I am angry because this had the makings of a "great" book and ended up being nothing more than a longer version of a Nicholas Sparks' novel. And, don't get me wrong - I enjoy a good Nicholas Sparks' book but not when I'm supposed to be reading a Nicholas Evans' book.
Set in Missoula, Montana and inspired by real life smoke jumpers, this... Read more
