  • The Da Vinci Code
    • Rated 4 stars

    I'm amazed at Brown's ability to interweave and cloud the differences between truth and fiction. Although I emphatically do not believe the story, I was still able to admire and enjoy the story told.

  • The Alchemist
    • Rated 1 stars

    I don't know what type of person likes this book other than I know I'm not that type. I kept being reminded of "The Old Man and the Sea" (another book I disliked) and just kept wishing for the end to come soon so I can move on to something else.

  • Angels & Demons
    • Rated 4 stars

    Very, very entertaining and led down a path that I didn't foresee. I also enjoyed the use of intertwining lots of truth with the plausible; making you wonder. I look forward to reading more of Dan Brown.

  • The Homecoming of Beorhtnoth Beorhthelm's Son
    • Rated 2 stars

    The poem / play was alright, short, and felt incomplete. It should have been longer and captured a complete story instead of including a critique / analysis of his own partial work. Why combine a story with an essay? Weird.

  • On Fairy-Stories
    • Rated 4 stars

    I'm vastly amazed and utterly impressed with the mind of J. R. R. Tolkien. This essay on Fairy-stories goes well beyond the topic of "fairy-stories" and seems to cover all of life itself.

  • The Running Man
    • Rated 3 stars

    This is what you get when you mix the book 1984 with the reality TV show The Amazing Race.

    • Rated 3 stars

    Not one Crichton will be remembered by but still an enjoyable read. This time however, he did seem to go beyond the realm of possibility.

  • Miscalculation
    • Rated 3 stars

    A short, from Rosalie's point of view. I'm now glad Stephanie Meyer chose not to write from many points of view because all here characters sound the same. It would have been confusing and more annoying.

  • Rosalie's News
    • Rated 3 stars

    A real short story related to the phone call between Edward and Rosalie regarding Bella's cliff-jumping incident.

  • Leaf by Niggle
    • Rated 2 stars

    This short story is really weird and left me a bit confused. I'm too lazy to try to study / figure out what meaning or purpose is behind the story.
