A Modest Proposal and Other Writings (Penguin Classics)
A Modest Proposal and Other Writings (Penguin Classics)

Review:The solution of too-many green eyed children. Although the true irony lies in Britain's use of the Irish as one of several slave classes for hundreds of years. They should have realized we would out breed them at some point. Read more

The Lost Order: A Novel (Cotton Malone)
The Lost Order: A Novel (Cotton Malone)

Review:Once again Steve Berry keeps the action rolling from page one until the end. I love history, but have not really heard about the Knights of the Golden Circle. I can honestly say I learned a lot about them from this book. I really enjoyed all the scenes that took place at the Smithsonian Institute. What an interesting history. I also loved the fact that the actual Castle Curator, Rick Stamm, is a part of the book. Keep up the good work Mr Berry! Can't wait for the next one! Read more

Sold on a Monday: A Novel

Review:I recall being shown the iconic black-and-white photo of young children behind a sign "4 children for sale," taken in the 40s. A journalist had captured it and the image captivated readers as it spread across the United States.

The image haunted author Kristina McMorris. As she imagined circumstances behind it, she created the novel Sold on a Monday.

We experience the story through two main characters, journalist Ellis Reed and newsroom secretary Lily Palmer. Themes of family, loya... Read more

Auctioned to the Billionaire (Steele Series Book 1)
Auctioned to the Billionaire (Steele Series Book 1)

Review:For a short, erotic story, it was okay. The whole enforcer thing was choppy, but the power play was good.

Apparently there is a follow up story, but you don’t necessarily need to read it, as this story didn’t end on a cliff hanger, which is much appreciated. It didn’t end completely settled, but the ending was satisfying enough.

Notes From Underground
Notes From Underground

Review:This was my first reading of Dostoyevsky and having finished it, I cannot wait to read more of this brilliant author.

What I like most about this book is the shocking realism. The author hides nothing, and reveals the weaknesses of his main character shamelessly. The 'antihero' in this story is the most pathetic character I have ever encountered. I truly felt sorry for him. This story basically tells the tale of a man wholey consumed and overwhelmed by the basic decisions required in the ... Read more

The Idiot (Vintage Classics)
The Idiot (Vintage Classics)

Review:The plot wasn't particularly attention grabbing; however, the stories that are spun by Kolya's father are fantastic. I also like the feel you get of the Russian culture in each of Dostoevsky's books, and this book is no exception. I found it interesting that Dostoevsky suffered from epilepsy, just like the Prince. The idea that "those kind" are particularly loved by God is a relief in an age where "those kind" are avoided like the plague. Overall, it is the least favorite of the three novels... Read more
