Miss Marple's Last Case (Miss Marple Mysteries Book 13)
Miss Marple's Last Case (Miss Marple Mysteries Book 13)

Review:I know many people are fond of Agatha Christie books but it sure took a lot of patience to get into the story line. I really had to force myself on reading this book at it really took me twice as long to read it as normal. About 3/4 into the book the pace and mystery picks up but I found it very slow. If you like action packed thriller mysteries, this really isn't for you. Read more

A Miss Marple Mystery (Miss Marple Mysteries Book 4)
A Miss Marple Mystery (Miss Marple Mysteries Book 4)

Review:This was the first Agatha Christie I ever read, and it remains my favorite. I love the town of Lymstock, and Little Furze; Miss Emily, Partridge, and the rest of the characters.
When I purchased the Kindle version and began to read, I was disappointed at the changes. I've read my 50 paperback so often, I can recite whole passages, and the Kindle book is different. "I can see I've not explained about Lymstock" is missing, and with it, the charm of Jerry and his sister's introduction to the ... Read more

The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society (Random House Reader's Circle Deluxe Reading Group Edition)

Review:Extremely boring. Don't attempt to read this book unless you already know you like an epistolary writing style. It takes extra skill to write such a book well, and this book is not well-written. I read 25% and had to stop. The story line might be interesting in a movie or play. It's just very hard to get into as written. Read more

A classic spy novel of intrigue and suspense set in the Second World War
A classic spy novel of intrigue and suspense set in the Second World War

Review:There are a lot of characters in this novel. Some go away and pop up later with little character development. All of a sudden the main character, for example, has a bed mate, A lexandra. Where did she come from? Who is she? Who knows? It wasn't really clear to me on only one reading why the principal character changed allegiance. He didn't really seem to believe in in communism, just got swept up in something that kept him out of a rut. Maybe every thing will sort itself out when I finish... Read more

The Red Umbrella
The Red Umbrella

Review:The Red Umbrella tells the story of Lucia, a fourteen years old teenager, whose life is change forever because of the revolution led by Fidel Castro and the arrival of soldiers to her town. I must confess that little I knew about the story behind the Revolution that Fidel Castro lead in that time and I didn't have a clue about the Peter Pan Operation and when I was done reading the book I couldn't help but shed some tears because I cannot imagine how hard it must have been for each families to e...

and Monsters of Ancient Greece (Ologies) - Mythology The Gods

Review:Mythology is another addition to the Ologies series of books. This book has been written from the perspective of a historian, with comments of a man searching for artifacts. Mythology is a great read as an introduction into Greek mythology. The stories are exciting and to the point without needing to dig through an entire Epic story. This book is great for kids or adults hoping for a little inspiration into the Greek myths of the past. If you are already an Ology fan, it's a great book to a... Read more
