I don’t often get to review children’s books, but I thoroughly enjoyed reading Um … Mommy, I Think I Flushed My Brother Down the Toilet by Jeff Rivera. I could not stop laughing all the way through it.

It was well written and very age appropriate. The storyline was well developed and oh so funny.  This was just the kind of book kids love. The illustrations were great and added to the story and laughs.

Just to be sure I was not being an over grown kid, I read the book to my 6 year old grandson for his expert opinion. His first thought, based on the cover, was; “This is a girl’s book.” As I read on he started laughing and gave out a loud “YUCK!” ever-so-often. In a six year Old’s vocabulary this mean it was “great.” In summary he said; “That was funny.”

I and my expert consultant really enjoyed Um … Mommy, I Think I Flushed My Brother Down the Toilet by Jeff Rivera and highly recommend it to all readers.

If you like high drama and an action pack thriller your will love The Solomon Key by Shawn Hopkins. This pre-apocalyptic novel will keep you on the edge of your seat waiting for the next twist to the plot.

I really like the way Shawn Hopkins developed the characters. Each character was both believable and easy to identify with. I like a book where it is hard to tell who the good guys vs. the bad guys ultimately are. It will keep you guessing and wanting more.

The storyline was well developed and easy to follow. With all the twist and turns in the story I never lost my place. I found it exciting and hard to put down. There was one section in the middle of the book where it got bogged down with describing history which was tedious but, in the end it added to the understanding of the ultimate plot. So plug through this section, it is worth it.

I really enjoyed The Solomon Key by Shawn Hopkins and I highly recommend this book.

I enjoy reading a good historical novel and the The Highlander (Book 1: The Rise of the Aztecs Series) by Zoe Saadia is just such a book. Once I started reading it I had trouble putting it down and found myself totally engrossed in the story.

The author did a great job of developing the storyline. She laid her story foundation and then built upon each layer, adding to the suspense and action as she went. It was easy to follow the various plots and get involved with the in story as an unseen character. I love when an author is able to make me feel like I am there.

Each character was well developed and easy to believe in. It was easy to identify with each of the characters and cheer for each side in the story as it developed. Again, I like being able to place myself into the story and Zoe Saadia’s writing style allowed me to do just that.

I really enjoyed reading The Highlander by Zoe Saadia and I highly recommend this book.

Elyse Salpeter has put together a fantastic adventure in her book The World of Karov which will keep you glued to your seat and unable to put the book down. From the very first page I was captivated by the story and the characters.

The storyline is well developed and easy to follow. I really enjoyed the way the author describes the worlds she was creating making them believable. It was easy to feel you were there and a part of the story. I love it when I can put myself into a book as the unseen character.

Each character was very believable and easy to identify with. Not only the lead characters but the supporting cast of the story was easy to relate to. Each fit into the storyline and helped develop it and bring it to life. I love the way Elyse described her characters in each scene. When Alec entered a scene it actually felt like the room grew colder and darker.

I only have one issue with the book and it is a big one. As I was reading and really getting into the story I flipped the page and it ended. All I could do was scream, “No!” Elyse has done an excellent job of capturing my attention and made it a necessity for me to read the next installment of the “The Children of Demilee” series. Excellent job Elyse.

I highly recommend The World of Karov by Elyse Salpeter to all ages.

How to Soar Like an Eagle in a World Full of Turkeys by Robert Stevenson is an excellent motivational guide for both business leaders and everyday people. It is full of tips and suggestions which are applicable in all aspects of life.

The author did a great job of putting this book together so that it is both informative and fun to read. In its clear, concise format it is easy to read and follow. The tips and suggestions are presented with many real life examples and are easy to understand.

I really enjoyed reading this book; it is not dry and boring like most self-help motivational books. It is full of humor and wit which makes the tips come alive and seem more applicable to my life.

I highly recommend this book to all readers whether a season business leader or a student still working through high school.

Wow! Dissever by Colee Firman just took my breath away. This modern day fast paced, adventure, Sci-fi, and/or fantasy is one wild ride of reading pleasure. As the first book of the Unbinding Fate series it has captivate my imagination and I can’t wait to read the next installment.

Colee Firman did a fantastic job of developing a “keep you in your seat reading” tale that was both exciting and easy to follow. This was the type of book I found myself consumed with and following the action as one of the hidden extras. With each page I found myself waiting for the next twist and turn.

The characters were well defined, believable and easy to follow. I really liked the heroes and found myself cheering them on. I also like the way you never really knew who the ultimate villain was.
I really enjoyed reading Dissever by Colee Firman and I highly recommend it to all readers.

Do you want to read a book that you can’t put down? Do you want a book that will grab you by the seat of the pants and will not let you go? The Audubon Caper by R. Murry is just the book for you. In this true crime tale Roy Murry has pulled it all together into a fast past adventure tale.
The author did a great job in developing the storyline. It is both easy to follow and believable. Each plot and subplot kept me on the edge of my seat and unable to put the book down.

The characters were easy to identify with and follow. I found myself caught up in the story, cheering for the hero all the way through. The author made each of his characters believable and likeable, even the so called bad guys.

I enjoyed reading The Audubon Caper by R. Murry and I highly recommend it.
