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

Book Review - Havana Storm by Clive Cussler

Havana Storm by Clive Cussler

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


This was definitely just another fun easy read in the Dirk Pitt adventure series. Ever since I read the first one many moons ago I have always enjoyed this series. It keeps me entertained for a few hours. Some folks might think the stories get a little cookie cutter but I think anyone that rights series like this tends to do them all in a similar manner.

My rating: 2 of 5 stars


This was such a weird book. I never saw the movie but folks said that was weird also so I sort of expected this to be weird but wow this was over the top weird. All can I say at this point is that I am done!

The Given Sacrifice by S.M. Stirling a book review

The Given Sacrifice by S.M. Stirling

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


This is the 10th book out of 15 of a series that I Started a LONG time but now it seems to just keep on dragging on. He has created a fantastic universe in the Pacific Northwest and I guess we call it the upper Midwest so I understand the need for the number of books, but wow this is a long series. The author does a great job of describing the scenes but at times it feels like he gets stuck in the details. Trying to keep track of who is related to who and how made me feel like I was reading Game of Thrones with the number of characters involved. I am sure sooner or later I will get back to reading the next one but for now I will let this series sit lower on my priority list in terms of reading.

Book Review of: The Dirt: Confessions of the World's Most Notorious Rock Band

The Dirt: Confessions of the World's Most Notorious Rock Band by Neil Strauss

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


This was an interesting read. Brought back memories of listening to their music in HS. I am truly shocked that they all somehow survived without seriously hurting themselves. Overall it was a decent read, just something different to read while stuck at home.
