Official Ghostbusters Edition - Tobin's Spirit Guide

Review:I bounced between three and four stars for this. It's a bit of a letdown, since I had hoped for something that was actually supposed to be the book referenced in the movie, but this book is "written" by the Ghostbuster characters. So rather than being some kind of actual reference work, it's more a book with some anecdotes and stories about how the Ghostbusters dealt with various spirits...

So part of me was thinking just 2 or 3 stars, but people aren't buying this based solely on the c... Read more

and Families (The Family Library) - A Book about Eggs

Review:Great book for teaching kids the facts of life. It doesn't shrink away from any topics. The images are really funny and had me laughing while reading the book with my daughter. I would recommend this book and the others in this series. Read more

An Extraordinary Union (The Loyal League)

Review:I found this a rather shallow, romanticized story, full of cliched and not very interesting writing. The happy ending was impossible; I think I would have preferred a sadder but more realistic outcome. I would not recommend this to others. A cheap and unremarkable read. Read more

The House on the Strand
The House on the Strand

Review:Daphne du Maurier has a very rare talent, and that is to concisely describe the little details that make up such a great part of her stories. She notices the dust on the windowsill, a certain glance of light, the ant crawling through the grass, and turns it from a trivial, fleeting thought into a concrete one. It's so natural. The human mind is capable of so many thoughts, but few human minds can capture them so perfectly.
But enough digression... This was a grand and glorious book, about a g... Read more

Warriors of the Storm (The Last Kingdom Series - Book 9)

Review:Its an Bernard Cornwell tale of Uthred and as such it is of course well written and very entertaining. That being said I find it the one if the lesser instalments in the series. The story line this time around is interely fictious and Cornwell uses it to (rather of handedly) tie several loose knots and bring Uthred in a position to start the final battle for Bebbanburg.
Uthred is by far my favourite Cornwell hero but I fear his author seems to have grown a bit bored with him. My gues is the ... Read more

Review:Cornwell is the standard for fantastic reasons. It has been fun being apart of Utred's journey. This is one of those turning points in his story that fans of this series are going to love. This tale is definitely worth the read and fans will love it. Read more
