Warbound (Grimnoir Chronicles)
Warbound (Grimnoir Chronicles)

Review:The Grimnoir universe is by far my favorite from Larry Correia yet. The previous two books were just fantastic. I love the characters, the setting, the limitations of the powers, and the legitimate evil of the bad guys.

Warbound does provide conclusion to the series, but it pulls an ex machina that doesn't sit well with the rest of the story. ***Spoilers*** In particular, the series started with a character that did things that shouldn't have been possible, and the story hinted that there... Read more

Spellbound (The Grimnoir Chronicles)
Spellbound (The Grimnoir Chronicles)

Review:This is an amazing series. Adding magic to the thirties and then changing history in subtle ways is great fun. I also like how one of the over-arching plots in the book is very similar to the Marvel mutant plot. Normals vs Magicals. Read more

Playing with Matches
Playing with Matches

Review:Really enjoyed this book, makes you think about what is happening in this day and age. Scary that people can be taken in with promises of better time ahead. It shows what can happen when we, as the people, take a stand for our believe, knowing right from wrong. Read more

Place Called Freedom
Place Called Freedom

Review:Being a devoted fan of Ken Follett, this was another great adventure. From start to finish it was great. My wife and daughter has also read it on thier Kindles and liked the book. Read a few not so hot by Follett but this was a good one. Read more

The Secret Chord: A Novel
The Secret Chord: A Novel

Review:If you really want history re-written, and don't mind that King David is made out to be a bi-sexual, then by all means, buy this book. Otherwise, you will be like me, deeply offended at this assumption and betrayal. I get that this is a fictional re-telling, but to take this kind of liberty is ridiculous and rather appalling.

Dragon Teeth: A Novel
Dragon Teeth: A Novel

Review:I was suspicious when I heard a new Crichton book was coming out. However, I loved it and it absolutely felt like reading another classic by him. I loved it and would definitely recommend this book to anyone.

Well researched and an absolute page turner (I'm writing this at 2 AM because I couldn't put it down!). Read more

The Hidden History of the JFK Assassination
The Hidden History of the JFK Assassination

Review:This book is the latest from Lamar Waldron on the JFK assassination.
There are some new revelations in this book based on recently released files and documents.

What Mr. Waldron does very well compared to other authors on this subject is supply many reasons why various officials and government agencies withheld so much useful information for so long.

Among the most intriguing aspects of this book are things like:

Mafia connections to law enforcement.
Confessions later ... Read more

The Borgias: The Hidden History
The Borgias: The Hidden History

Review:Holds up, and is equal to, First Season - Series 1. It does almost always hold my interest. Four stars because some of the actors are a bit over the top. The production is indeed lavish and mostly adheres to the actual history of the period, both pictorial and personal, Read more

Z: A Novel of Zelda Fitzgerald
Z: A Novel of Zelda Fitzgerald

Review:I looked forward to reading this book after beginning the Amazon series and perhaps that's why I was left disappointed. I credit the author with what surely was a tremendous amount of effort. However, in giving Zelda a voice the author has managed to drain her of all personality. Characters felt superficial and worst of all boring. It is difficult to fathom this Zelda inspiring great American literature. Will we ever really know the real Zelda? Read more
