Review of Dune by Frank Herbert
Nebula Award Winning Novel in 1965 I have mixed feelings about this book. I have often heard that Dune is the best sci-fi book ever written. That’s a tall order to live up to over 40 years after it was written. I think I went into it expecting something else and that might be part… Continue reading

World War Z by Max Brooks
This may be one of the few books that I can write a one word review of. Review: Awesome! It really is. I don’t usually read zombie books; in fact, I think I’ve only read one other full length zombie book ever. And, I don’t watch zombie movies. I’m actually a big chicken, and those… Continue reading

Review of Inferno by Dan Brown

Review of The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman

I find some… Continue reading

The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman
I am going to keep this review fairly short. A friend of mine who also posts book reviews on her blog has joked at writing one word book reviews. So my one word for this book: haveyoueverwonderedwhatwouldhappenifachildwasraisedinacemetary? Only kidding. Have you heard the expression “it takes a village to raise a child?” Well, this book… Continue reading

Review of The Orphan Master’s Son by Adam Johnson
Pulitzer Prize Winning Novel in 2013 Let me start by saying I’m so glad a winner was chosen this year. Last year, whoever makes this decision decided to not pick a book. I admit I was a little irritated. I actually make it a point to read whatever novel wins the Pulitzer Prize for fiction… Continue reading
