This is the sequel to Touch the Dark, and it takes the storyline in a completely different direction than I expected. The vampires don't play quite as prominent a role; the story focuses on Cassie interacting with the battle mages, though the vampires are hovering around the edges. IMO, there's not enough Mircea for my taste, heh. However, Cassie is still very likable without being obnoxiously spunky, and this book added some nice character development all around.

It's scary what young men will do when they feel useless... beatings and neo-nazis wrap themselves in soccer's flag and buford runs with them.

I had seen a preview for The Peaceful Warrior movie and decided to take my father (a former gymnast) to see it. We both enjoyed the movie a great deal, despite its poor reviews. Some months later, I saw a copy of the source book in Barnes and Noble and decided to read it. I am glad I did, it was not disappointing. It was more detailed and went deeper than the movie did (as is almost always the case with movies based on books), and it also spanned a longer period of time in the author's life (it is autobiographical). I would recommend this to anyone that likes to read philosophical stuff -- I can make a loose parallel between this and Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenence, although Zen is by far a more intense reading experience.

The idea of writing about a boy with autism who can only communicate properly with a dog is interesting enough. Add to it the dog's point of view/voice and it makes for an even more interesting premise. Chance, a shelter dog, is adopted by a family whose child, Ryan, is autistic and has a few other disorders as well. Like the dog, Chance, Ryan has also been adopted, so Ryan and Chance become best friends, helping each other understand their adoption situation and its implications. Most of the story is dialog with very little to no description. Second Chance is a recommended read for children who need to understand what adoption is about. It's also useful in teaching children that being 'different' isn't necessarily bad or inferior. I liked the fact that it's a true story which gives the narrative a warm and personal touch. The reason why I didn't rate this book higher is the language. The book's too short to be a middle grade read, the language is too simple for an intermediate reader. Judging from the illustrations, reading level difficulty and book length, the author would have been better off marketing it as a picture book. With no description beyond the illustrations Second Chance is a picture book suitable for readers aged 6 to 9. Formatting is bad, the print is too small for a children's book, which makes it hard to read out loud, or give it to a child to read, however the story makes up for it, hence the five stars.

I enjoyed "I Am Number Four". Despite a very familiar premise, it was well done and had potential. The sequel novella, "I Am Number Four: The Lost Files: Six's Legacy", was interesting and really pulled me in. The Power of Six blew them both away. Book one was told from Four's perspective, and the novella from Six's. This book switches between Seven narrating her life to this point while following the news for any hint of John, and Six, John and Sam on the run from the human authorities and the Mogs. I liked the alternating perspective because it kept the pacing of the book fast. It was action-packed with tension, chases and fight scenes. The author didn't slack by having Seven be just another copy of Six and Four's lives, either. Her Cepan lost faith and turned her back on Lorien, leaving Seven at a serious disadvantage. But she does have some very cool legacies. Also, John finally opens his chest and reads the letter from Henry. I've wondered how 9 kids were supposed to stand against a race that wiped out an entire world of people gifted like they are, and the book actually addresses this. The letter also has unexpected consequences for Sam, who has evolved from being just a tagalong to an ally. Plus, there's the surprising, and welcome, addition of the new character Ella. However, the book has a serious flaw. The romantic element started out predictable, moved to frustrating, and quickly became damn annoying. John's starting to fall for Six, but he loves Sarah. Sam likes Six too. Sam is John's friend but also jealous of him. Six likes-likes Sam, but also John. Bleh. I might not have been so annoyed except we're expected to believe these teens would be just like normal teens, only with homicidal aliens who murdered their parents after them! Sorry, I don't buy these kids making stupid, life-risking decisions (which John does on more than one occasion) because they're in "love". John doesn't just risk his life, but also Six and Sam. This after watching Henry die? Thankfully, the romantic element was significantly reduced compared to book 1 in favor of plot development. Also, it seems ridiculous that Henry would leave John a chest full of items that he doesn't know how to use and could even endanger him. Henry knew he could (and likely would) die at any time. It felt contrived. These were minor issues though. Overall, this was an engrossing read with a electrifying conclusion that left me eager for the next book. Highly recommended!

This book tells the story of a young sea captain's wife who finds herself at sea against her husband's wishes in order to alleviate a compromising situation. The descriptions of life at sea and especially the experience of going around the horn of South America are gripping and hold the story together. The experiences are based on the writings and letters of real captain's wives, which make the story that much more interesting. As a sailor, I highly recommend it.

An interesting travelogue that almost lost me halfway through due to a repetitious skimming of the surface. Once the book finds its skin, it begins to get into some crazy events of modern Orthodox saints. Coincidently, this book opened up for me an entirely fresh approach to the concept of "hell", although the idea of hell discussed in this book is older than the one I previous held from Thomist Catholic teaching.
