    Well written. Gripping.

  • Rollback
    • Rated 5 stars

    This goes much deeper than an old scientist trying to decipher a message from another world. Sarah Halifax is counted on to decode the message and send a reply, but at 87, it will be her last message to the other planet. The powers that be have a way for her to be alive to continue her correspondence with the aliens.

    This goes into the psychology of Sarah Halifax and her husband Don as they deal with the rollback process which is to make them younger.

    • Rated 4 stars

    Good ideas for developing your leadership skills even if you are not in a leadership position.

  • Atlas Shrugged
    • Rated 3 stars

    Good, but too long. Yeah, I know. It wasn't any longer than Harry Potter. The difference is HP is bubble gum and AS is serious literature. Most of the conversations were monologues.

    • Rated 2 stars

    Never drew me, but I kept plugging away. It did get a bit interesting at the end.

    • Rated 4 stars

    Bought this to see about developing some psychic abilities. Still unsure about this talking to the dead stuff. This is the best self help book I have ever read. If you do the exercises you really get to know yourself.

    I have read some good Twain in my time, but this isn't it.

  • A Streetcar Named Desire
    • Rated 4 stars

    This is a script for a play, so what can one say about it? It is an intense play, and meant to be watched, not read. That said, I read this for a Theatre class. Great story about relationships.

    Gets off to a sloooowww start. This is a story about a dog that is reincarnated several times. The first life is so poorly written, and so juvenile that I didn't think I would be able to get through it. I decided to give the book at least a one dog chance, and the author came through shining. It is a touching and humorous tale. Predictable ending.

    A kindle from another dimension. King leads us in a direction taken by hundreds of authors and TV shows on the dangers of disrupting the time line, then throws the reader off by pulling us down a different path. Excellent work. Short piece. My edition was a 2 hour audio book.
