Really…. I did manage to finish this book within one day because it was difficult to put down with all the twists and turns happening. This series will not disappoint, as it does not have the cliche, predictable ending that many ‘romantic comedy’ novels do. I loved reading it and I loved Chaz even more than before, given that he was not as important in the other two books. It’s a great read. Definitely worth the money and time. [click to continue...]

This is one of the best biography of perhaps the greatest president of modern time. Jean Edward Smith has given us a classic. How could a man born of wealth, social standing and privilege understand the needs of the poor and ordinary man? Yet FDR did. He quickly saw the devastation of the pre Depression time and the resulting impact of the Depression as it spread. Anyone who lived during that time readily credits FDR with saving them and the nation. [click to continue...]

Undead and Unworthy

This story looks like she is going in a much darker direction. There was not the fun and games like in the first books. I hated the cover, but it alerts us to the change in direction she is going. It appers to me that she is getting marketing advice on how to compete with the likes of Laurell K.Hamilton. I read the Betsy books because it offered a change of pace—it was funny. I will give her next book one more chance.

What an excellent book about the courage and faith of few to abolish slavery and improve social conditions throughout the world. The author’s style is very readable and the story engrossing. Highly recommend it.

This book is very gripping and gets reapeative very fast about the whole IT topic. If you’re cluless about this topic, don’t read this book. I think many middle schoolers are ready for this book and if you’re a parent, just moniter your child’s behavior and this book doesn’t have a SCENE in it, but it tells what happened. I enjoyed this book. so I would recommend this book. [click to continue...]
