Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment
I picked up Maximum Ride after reading James Patterson’s When the Wind Blows and The Lake House in anticipation of more thrills from his extraordinary bird-children. Of course, that’s exactly what I got. (Note: These aren’t the same children from his previous books, though some of the names are the same, they’re still bird children, [...]
Official Week Of Book Reviews
It’s been a long day thus far, and I’m ready to fall out or fall into bed. I’m writing mostly because I need to get back into a writing mode. Fairly soon, I’ll have tons of papers for school, and I’ll need to get back into that mode to do a good job. One bit [...]
The Singularity Is Near
When Humans Transcend Biology This is a long overdue review, especially since it’s been almost two months since I finished reading Ray Kurzweil’s signature piece. Kurzweil has been bashed, laughed at, and called a lunatic many times over, but his book speaks for itself. There are facts, statistics, and scientific laws that provide plentiful proof [...]
When The Wind Blows & The Lake House
I had to put these two amazing books together in my review. James Patterson’s When the Wind Blows and The Lake House were a great weeklong diversion from reality. But, actually not that far-fetched. I just so happen to be reading Ray Kurzweil’s The Singularity is Near: When Humans Transcend Biology for class. So, all [...]
Empire Falls
I suppose I should try and write some kind of review of Richard Russo’s Empire Falls. But honestly, it’s hard to describe such a wonderful peace of fiction in a way that wouldn’t understate just how wonderful it is. The first thing I have to mention is the characters. They are what this book is [...]
School Of Dreams
Making the Grade at a Top American High School There are more and more books coming out each year that try and uncover what it means to be a public high school student today. Edward Humes does this beautifully, but he takes a different route. He goes into the heart of one of the nation’s [...]
Tuesdays With Morrie
Every now and then a person comes along that inspires more than just a close-knit group of people around, they inspire the world, or at least a part of it. This person was Morrie. I was surprised to see that this book was copyrighted in 1997. Nine years have gone by, and I haven’t read [...]
Angels & Demons
Dan Brown. He’s the guy that finally got me interested in reading again. I picked up his The Da Vinci Code in the late summer after a two month break from reading any novels. He’s a thrill writer. He’s the kind of writer that makes you remember what reading is all about. Sheer pleasure. I [...]
