I finally read Ender's Game yesterday...

I thought the book was fantastic... definately one of the best Sci-Fi books i've ever read. The characters were fascinating, specially Andrew 'Ender' Wiggins. (I love the nick 'Ender' btw)

The plot was great fun.. I mean.. who doesn't like 6 year olds playing war games against each other and training to become ( Read more... )

This book is set around the late 1800's and is about the Marines.

I had read Leon Uris' other book about Marines - Battle Cry. That one is about the Marines in the second World War. To be honest when I started this book I had hoped for a book that would be as good.. but it isn't.. it falls far short.

It has its moments... it definately does.. but ( Read more... )

I just finished reading the Bridges of Madison County by Robert James Waller. Below is my take on the book.

Beautiful. One word that describes the book perfectly. I loved the book and I loved the characters of Robert and Francesca. The book oozes sensitivity and simplicity and at the same time is so very passionate.

Stephenie Meyer has written very ( Read more... )

I just finished reading A Walk to Remember by Nicholas Sparks.

I think it was another fantastic book by him. I've read Message in a Bottle and The Notebook by him before and loved both of them. And this book reaffirms him as one of my favorite authors. I love how sensitive his books are. One thing I love about his books are that he makes you really ( Read more... )

Below is my take on the book... might be spoilers too.

Okay.. this book hit me like a bolt of lightning. I am stunned and in awe.

What magnificent writing. What characterizations. What sensitivity.

I can only wonder why this book didn't win the Booker. It is so well balanced and well written.

The plot is so good and you are hooked from page one. The ( Read more... )
