I can't write books so I review them instead
I’ve been reading a lot of mysteries and thrillers lately and this novel is no exception. But I will admit that I’ve become a bit disenchanted with the genre; after a while, all of the books start to sound the same. Trying to find a unique novel can sometimes be very difficult as you start…
My first experience reading a novel about vampires was Twilight. At first, I got swept up in its popularity but I soon found myself hating it. After that, I didn’t think I could ever get into that theme again. But then this novel came along. I didn’t really expect too much from it if I’m…
When I turned 12, I found myself experiencing Japanese culture for the very first time. All of my friends and peers were interested in manga and anime, and everywhere I went in school, I would hear people say random phrases in Japanese. Naturally, I got caught up in the hype and I soon became a…
I had read a blurb about this novel a while ago and had found it quite interesting. At that time, the book wasn’t available through the online library system so I completely forgot about it. Recently, I was passing by my local library and saw the cover. I remembered how intrigued I was by the…

The first book I ever read by Dean Koontz was Odd Thomas – and I loved it. I remember feeling such strong emotions for the main character, loving the depth of the story, and wanting to read more. But I never got to complete the rest of the series. I was excited to see this…
When Stephen King himself compliments the storyline of a book, how can you NOT give it a try? That’s the only introduction this novel needs and I am going to hurry on up with my review! When a beautiful, aspiring writer walks into the bookstore where Joe works, he knows that things are about to…
I am having a very difficult time trying to figure out how to write this review. This novel is definitely unusual in that it is narrated about events that happened in the past. Basically, you are reading someone’s autobiography. Except that this person is fictional. And their adventures are all steeped in fantasy. Which makes…
