Full Force and Effect by Mark Greaney/Tom Clancy

Full Force and Effect by Mark Greaney

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


This was another solid book in the Jack Ryan Jr series. Now North Korea is looking to become a nuclear power and they will do almost anything to get there. Some nice twists and turns and over just a nice easy read.

Lisey's Story by Stephen King - A book review (sort of)

Lisey's Story by Stephen King

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


Well this is the first Stephen King book that I have NOT enjoyed in a long time. It was probably closer to a 2.5 star but goodreads doesn't allow .5 starts. The story seemed to drag and there were multiple flashbacks and hints at stuff that happened that made it really hard to keep track of what was going on. Just my humble opinion but it wasn't his best work.

Book Review - The warning by James Patterson

The Warning by James Patterson

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


This is one of those books where James Patterson steps out of his normal genre and writes something different. The story moved nicely but I felt like the ending was a little - Ehhh. Not a big deal. Overall it was a fun easy ready that kept me entertained for a few days.

Random Thought

I'm 51, & I realized I still have so many unanswered questions! I never found out who let the dogs out... the way to get to Sesame Street... why Dora doesn't just use Google Maps... why we don't ever see the headline "Psychic Wins Lottery"... why women can't put on mascara with their mouth closed... why "abbreviated" is such a long word... why lemon juice is made with artificial flavor yet dish-washing liquid is made with real lemons... why they sterilize the needle for lethal injections... and, why do you have to "put your two cents in" but it's only a "penny for your thoughts" where's that extra penny going to... why do The Alphabet Song and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star have the same tune... why did you just try to sing those two previous songs... and just what is Victoria's secret? ...and do you really think I am this witty ?? ... I actually stole this from a friend, who stole it from her brother's girlfriend's Uncle's cousin's, baby momma's Doctor...Now it is your turn to steal it from me... lol Enjoy the rest of your day!

Book Review: The Winter Fortress by Neal Bascomb

The Winter Fortress: The Epic Mission to Sabotage Hitler’s Atomic Bomb by Neal Bascomb

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


This was an in depth detailed account of how Norwegian (sp?) resistance fighters worked to destroy the Heavy Water plant that Germany had commandeered during World War II. The beginning was a little slow as the author introduced you to all the main players and why they chose to be part of the resistance. Overall it was a good book on one part of WWII that I did not know a lot about. Please note I am using this in the terms of people fighting the Germans that had taken over their country. Some of these folks had fled Norway, Trained in England and then returned to perform the attacks
