Review:Likeable heroine who has realistic misgivings about her ability but goes on holding out for good regardless. Creative vision of a potential post apocalypse world. Explores interesting themes not just an excuse for a romance scenario. Read more

Review:My 11 year old daughter was assigned this book to read for class, so I bought myself a copy and we wound up reading it together, out load with accents and a great southern drawl! It was a good story about family and the many ways that can be defined. Written very well. Read more

Review:This is an older book for younger readers, but if you have a child in love with horses you might want to check it out.

Dandi Daley Mackall packs a lot of emotion into this short chapter book. Winnie hasn't forgiven herself for events that changed the lives of her family, and that lack of forgiveness is reflected in pretty much everything she does. She's quick tempered, quick to judge, and rather rude.

But once you understand the heart, you can help change the behavior.

That'... Read more

Review:Some smart talk about stuff you might find interesting. Footnotes even. Appendix and sources. All this for a work of fiction about monsters. More than the reader expected. A talented writer, underappreciated. Maybe because he's too smart for the readers who think this is a monster story. Read more

Review:An interesting book, with very honest characters. However, the obvious lack of God in every person's life is quite sad. The author tried way too hard to be seen as so open minded, that the beauty of the story got lost in liberalism. Read more

Review:If you're okay with a severely disappointing ending, go ahead and check out Allegedly.
A good story with a lot of wasted potential. (Spoilers)

This book had a lot of potential, rich with complex relationships that mimic the darker side of reality. As you read, you become more and more sympathetic for Mary and the constant line of struggles she suffers trying to keep her baby. Eventually you begin to wonder where her break is as her court case against her mother takes off, but she loses... Read more

Review:I just finished this first volume; I'm looking forward to continuing. The interplay of the stories of medieval knights on a quest and the Mongolian Empire is fascinating. The strongly defined characters and their personal stories kept me involved. With so much of the setting being alien to my own background, I often appreciated the Kindle format's ability to define an unfamiliar word at a touch. Read more

Review:Fiction that weaves the personages of the great scientists of 17th century as well as the shifts in power of Europe. A wonderful tale that turns perspective of these times into an amalgam of human diversity and the small chance for progress on the heels of enlightenment. Can't wait to read book two! Read more

Review:A really good read. McCloskey does a great job of introducing you to not one but two completely alien races with hints about at least one other race as well. The UNSF (United Nations Space Force) was handled very well and the main characters grew as the story progressed. I wasn't planing to read beyond the first book but now I must have more. There were no distracting spelling or syntax errors which certainly added to a very interesting story line. McCloskey is a first rate author and I plan to ... Read more

Review:Set in a future where a corporation has found that genetically you have a perfect match; if you meet this perfect match you'll likely fall head over heels in love instantly.

The novel shares the experience of several couples, showing how this technology affects their relationships in surprising ways. Many different ideas are encapsulated in these couples - what if you don't immediately gel with your perfect match? What if your match doesn't agree with your basic sexuality? What if your ma...
