Life of Pi

by Yann Martel
- Rated 4 stars
“A refreshing read from the usual norm of everyday fiction! Curiously interesting. A traveler's luggage-full of animals & the social psychology behind us & them. Better have this when you visit the high seas. Good to have a copy whether sailing or shipwrecked! ”

Inca Gold

by Clive Cussler
- Rated 3 stars
“I got tired physically just by reading the 1st part. It's packed of a complicated mix of history, geography and adventure... like 4 adventures all in one big testosterone-filled book.”

“Knowledgeable. Opens a whole new world of peering through the eyes of a wonderfully gifted child and his misadventures. A very good read too!

Brida [BRIDA]

by Paulo(Author) ; Costa, Margaret Jull(Translator) Coelho
- Rated 2 stars
“Paulo Coelho's works a binding spell with the magic in his words. He makes much ado about the journey of discovery of a young girl's call to be a Wicca. Carefully transforming each page into the parallel world of the respected magic. A peek into the life of a called and the initiation that takes place. Brida ushers you in to the world of mysticism and spirituality.”
