Scott Turow’s: Presumed Innocent
Like most readers, I have a few favorite authors that I follow and I try to pick up their newest releases. I also have a “greatest hits” list of books that I believe to be some of the best around. Scott Turow made that list with Presumed Innocent, which was one of the best legal […]
Amanda Porterfield’s: Conceived in Doubt
My review this week is centered on a book that takes a look at religion and politics in America: Amanda Porterfield’s Conceived in Doubt: Religion and Politics in the New American Nation. In this book, Porterfield examines evangelical Christianity and its role in forming the political structure of the United States. The key is “little […]
Debbie Macomber’s: Starting Now
I love a great book, a glass of sweet tea and a sunny afternoon on my patio. Fortunately, I found just the right book for the occasion in Debbie Macomber’s newest offering Starting Now: A Blossom Street Novel. Macomber is a familiar author for many who enjoy the romance genre and her popularity is well […]
Robert Kirkman‘s The Walking Dead: Book One
Most people who know me know I am a huge fan of The Walking Dead. Well, to be clear, I was a huge fan of the show. I just received a hardback edition of The Walking Dead: Book One, which is a volume containing quite a few issues of the comics, all presented on slick, […]
Stephenie Meyer’s: The Host
With the film adaptation being released this Friday, I figured it was time to review Stephenie Meyer’s The Host. The Host is a teen sci-fi/romance novel that is often compared to Meyer’s other famous/infamous (depending on who you ask) series, Twilight. There are certainly some similarities. The story revolves around the fate of a young […]
Chris Kyle’s: American Sniper
After looking over some past reviews of mine, I have concluded I don’t review enough nonfiction. This time, I am taking a look at Chris Kyle’s American Sniper. This book details the exploits and experiences of Chris Kyle, the record-holding U.S. Marine sniper with over 150 confirmed kills in Iraq, effectively making Kyle the deadliest […]
Douglas Adams: The Ultimate Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy
It has been far too long since I have found a truly hilarious book. Thankfully, Douglas Adams has come through for me with The Ultimate Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. Yes, I am ashamed I haven’t read this until now. I can say without a doubt that this book is one of the funniest I […]
Mary Burton’s: The Seventh Victim
Occasionally, I get the opportunity to sit in for Jake as he takes a day or two off and I relish the chance to share a good book with fellow readers. I just finished reading Mary Burton’s The Seventh Victim and I just could not put it down. Burton is no novice author and it […]
Victor Stenger’s: In God: The Failed Hypothesis
I am reviewing a book that has caused a fair bit of controversy, and an exceptional amount of discussion between atheists, philosophers, and theologians. In God: The Failed Hypothesis, Victor Stenger argues that there is no evidence to support the existence of a deity, and that the existence of such a being, while not impossible, […]
Matthew Reilly’s: Ice Station
I usually try to find new authors for my reviews, or at least find some of their newer works (though this is certainly not always the case). Still, this time I am revisiting one of my favorite authors of action and thriller novels, Matthew Reilly, and I am taking a look at the second novel […]
James Rollins’ Deep Fathom
After taking a look through my library, I have decided it is time to review some more “cinematic” popular action books, which has led me to James Rollins’ Deep Fathom. Deep Fathom follows a handful of characters as they race to stop the end of the world. Jack Kirkland, ex-Navy SEAL returns from a salvage […]
George R. R. Martin’s: A Game of Thrones: The Graphic Novel (Volume 1)
George R. R. Martin’s: A Game of Thrones: The Graphic Novel (Volume 1) This week, I am going to be stepping outside of my niche and review a book that I received as a gift for the holidays, A Game of Thrones: The Graphic Novel (Volume 1). I have reviewed a few entries of George […]
Max Brooks’: World War Z
Max Brooks’: World War Z With the movie adaptation well on its way, it seems only fitting that I review a book suggested to me by a good friend: Max Brooks’ World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War. First, I have to distinguish this book from the upcoming film. World War Z, […]
John Grisham’s: Skipping Christmas
John Grisham’s: Skipping Christmas I love Christmastime like I love a good book. I look forward to it all year and enjoy sharing the things that I like with my family and friends. Stockings are big in my family and it is always interesting to see what one holds. Usually, a quirky read can be […]
J. R. R. Tolkien’s: The Hobbit
J. R. R. Tolkien’s: The Hobbit With the first movie of the story having just been released, it seems only fitting that I review J. R. R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit. The Hobbit follows the exploits of Mr. Bilbo Baggins, a hobbit who is very much…a hobbit. As a general rule, the little people do not […]
Jobe Leonard’s Study Abroad: The Book of Jobe
This week, I am reviewing a local author’s book: Jobe Leonard’s Study Abroad: The Book of Jobe. Study Abroad is the true story of Jobe’s time spent in Europe, beginning with his studying abroad in the Netherlands. Truth be told, it is difficult to describe just what the book is. The story is told through […]
