The Book Thief by Markus Zusak is suppose to be one of those rare book that comes along every so often and change your outlook on life. It’s sad, depressing and makes you really think on what is most important in life. Did it succeed in doing that for me personally? Honestly, I wouldn’t really…

Legion by Brandon Sanderson is a quick yet fun novella by one of the premier fantasy authors of our time. When reviewers say quick, you can expect to plow through this book in one whole sitting. Personally, I think it took me about an hour and a half to finish. Therefore, Legion is a good…

Shift Omnibus by Huge Howey is the second series of the Silo Saga. I have to admit that Wool Omnibus is miles better than Shift Omnibus. Shift takes us back in time and tells of how this whole silo adventure actually took place. I, along with many others, have probably salivated over this release. Again,…

Fractured by D.J. Molles is the fourth installment to his ever so popular ‘The Remaining’ series. I’m not a hardcore zombie fanatic like others and so this book series is pretty much the only thing I got going whereas flesh eating zombies are concerned. I’ve have thoroughly enjoyed this series so far and Fractured seems…

I was quite surprised to learn that the author studied writing under Brandon Sanderson whose no doubt a favorite author for many fantasy readers. The results speak clearly. His writing is crisp, to the point and most importantly, very…

The Rithmatist by Brandon Sanderson is a fantasy book geared toward mainly young adults. Sometimes, we as readers really have to ask ourselves just how the heck does an author come up with such creative ideas? Here with Mr. Sanderson, this guy is nothing short of brilliant. When someone says to let your imagination run…

Dune Messiah by Frank Herbert is the second book in the Dune series. I’ve written high praises for Dune and I immediately followed up with the sequel. Here though is where things felt a bit short. Whereas the first book had a lot going for it, here in Dune Messiah things take a much slower…

Dune by Frank Herbert is considered by many to be one of the greatest science fiction series in existence today. I admit that it took me two tries to finish this book. During the first, I found the book to be extremely slow and while it did capture my interest, I didn’t have the inner…
