I’m not sure what’s going on with me recently but I find myself in deep fascination with the past concerning Hitler and the events that led to the slaughter of hundreds and thousands of Jews. Sarah’s Key by Tatiana De Rosnay, although a non-fiction piece of work, the big event that she talks about in…

I’m no stranger to Linwood Barclay having read both Fear the Worst and Never Look Away. Both were fantastic mystery thrillers that had me on the edge of my seat. The Accident is Linwood’s latest release and he continues the tradition of writing awesome thrillers. Linwood is a master of writing a story about a…

In order for society to move forward, we have to learn from the past. Till this day, the mystery and intrigue of Adolf Hitler’s reign in Berlin is most likely still being studied and analyzed. While I’m not a historian, it is still amazes me from time to time to learn about what happened in…

I believe Full Black by Brad Thor is officially one of the fastest book I’ve completed. At about 400 pages, I finished it in about three nights of heavy reading. Surprisingly, Full Black is the tenth book in the Scot Harvath series and if intense action is your genre, you’ll do yourself a good favor…

As a person who reads a lot of fantasy books, I feel the need to get down on my knees and worship Brandon Sanderson. The guy is just that good at storytelling. Brandon Sanderson’s Warbreaker is a stand-alone fantasy book that has a captivating storyline and characters you will no doubt come to like. That’s…

I swear I’m not a psychopath. But I enjoyed reading Donald Ray Pollock’s “The Devil All the Time” and no, you don’t have to be a psychopathic deranged killer to enjoy it. The story telling was excellent and that kept the pages turning. However, this is one of those books I got super excited about…
