A Burning in the Darkness by A P Mcgrath (Book Review #269)
The story is very intriguing and entails some heartfelt memories from childhood for the lead character. Michael is very easy to bond with and his predicament creates a situation where you can easily relate to his suffering.
The literature was in good shape however, there were some problems with editing, and sentence structure noticed within the content. The story had a nice flow and pace to it which added more suspense to the reader.
Many books claim to be a crime thriller however, they only succeed in fulfilling the crime part of the story. There is normally no thrilling aspect to it. This book is not one of them. The story is truly a thriller to read and I recommend it to anyone that enjoys this aspect, in a book.

Mr. November by Matt Hogan (Book Review #253)
Mr. November is a science fiction story about Sam Webb. Sam works for a scientific organization that has invented a machine that can travel in time. Sam is the traveler inside the machine conducting the missions he has been given by, Johnson Dravek, the CEO of the company. Sam keeps having visions of things he has never seen and slowly he discovers that Johnson is using the time machine to his own advantage.
Sam and his friend, Marcus’s mission become finding a way to stop Johnson by using his weapon against him. However, there is a price to pay for playing with destiny and what’s left in the past, which catches up with everyone involved in the book, especially Sam.
I found the storyline to be very unique. Although I have read many time travel novels, this one still stood out for me. The character development was superb. The literature and lyrical style of writing was easy to understand, particularly for a complex book like this one. The descriptive writing also created the ability for me to feel like I was on the journey with the characters.
I believe the author has done much research on the book as I did not find any loopholes or questionable events tied up to the story. The story is long and the pace is steady enough keeping you intrigued along the way.
I recommend this book to any one that enjoys reading books on time travel and is a sci-fi fan.

The MAGI Process by Jason Shulman (Book Review #255)
I initially wondered where would all this information come from? A little research helped me find more information on the author. He is in fact, “The founder of A society of Souls: The School for Nondual Healing and Awakening, based in the United States and the Netherlands. There he teaches the distinctive body of nondual work he has developed to awaken the human spirit: Nondual Healing, Impersonal Movement and the Work of Return. Jason’s main concern has been to develop paths of healing the mind, body, and spirit based on his own understanding of the difficulties inherent in the human condition. Through his studies and practice, Jason has developed a unique perspective on human consciousness and the nature of existence. His work seeks to translate this perspective into a replicable and clearly-delineated path for other seekers of truth to follow.”
I believe, after reading this book, everyone needs to have a copy of it. It isn’t just something you would take advantage of once and then put aside. It’s a lifestyle, a journal, a way to learn how to be and that is priceless.
The literary standard is exquisitely written. The book is easy to read and to understand. There are hardly any mistakes within the content and the strong lyrical substance of the book stands out making it a valuable book to have, read and keep.
I highly recommend this book to anyone that is looking to find the best way to participate in the creative machinery of the world.

The Experiment of Professor Polgas by Sarah Brownlee (Book Review #260)
The style of writing for this book is exactly like how it should be. It attracts the young mind and has a meaningful message within the quirky dialogue. The literature standard is middle grade and the content is filled with fantasy, making it an excellent choice for the youngsters to read.
The character development was spot on. The descriptive nature of the book was one of the strongest I have read and everything came together in a nice flow and was paced very well. I believe the author has great potential in creating powerful stories such as this one. The only thing I would improve is the cover of the book. I believe it does not reflect the rich content and storyline it holds.
I recommend this book to young adult, fantasy readers.

Alpha Nine Kindle Edition by Rebecca Bosevski (Book Review #256)
I couldn’t help but have the story remind me of the irobot film. Where he was different from all the other robots and yet he looked and operated obeying the same rules. The Robot still somehow felt things like humans did. Now, this story, of course, is different to this famous Hollywood story, however, it was worth a mention.
The literary standard for this book was in good standing. The world setting was what stood out for me. The setting and the characters were described in a very well manner, having the reader feel and understand the predicament these clones were under. The paragraphs and chapters were connected smoothly and the pace was steady through the book.
I believe the author did a job-well-done- creating a sci-fi story that is suitable for young adult fiction lovers and anyone that likes to read about high tech stories.

Second Coming by D. B. Borton (Book Review #257)
The aliens had visited earth before and traveled to New Mexico to monitor the progress of the planet Earth. Elvis’s description is the replica of Elvis Presley, and the witty style of this fictional book does not end there. Hank, the alien abductee takes the lead with these two aliens, creating this funny- non-stop – science fiction story that brightens up your day.
At first, I found it very hard to get into the story. The pace was slow, and the storyline did not intrigue my interest. As I read more, I slowly got accustomed to the author’s literature and style of writing, and that is when I began to take in the humor and enjoyed the book. The story is filled with descriptive writing, and each scene is explained very well. It was clear that the author had succeeded in researching about the subject matter as I failed to notice any plausible loophole in the storyline.
The fact that the aliens had not visited Earth since 1950 was funny. They get lost and are not accustomed to all the changes that have happened since then. In addition, since Elvis looks like Elvis Presley, people go mad. Which made me think of how it would have been if we had the same thing happen to us today. I believe anyone that likes to read science fiction and is interested in aliens with a funny twist will find this book appealing.
The only thing I would improve with this book would be a better book cover. I was not a big fan of it.

Chasing Diana – Perception Vs. Reality: Inspired by Our True Story by Jack & Robin Firestone
This review was written for Online Book Club
“I rate this book 3 out of 4 stars.”
This book was an “OnlineBookClub.org Book of the Day.”
Chasing Diana is a fiction thriller written about the night Princess Diana passed away in the famous car crash. Jack and Robin are witnesses to the incident, and what conspired afterward. However, they decide to talk about it differently. They create a fictional story and then ask you to read between the lines.
What then transpires is an explanation of the story beginning from the night before and events that happened during the day, subsequently reaching to the crash. The fact remains that they were key witnesses just like a few others yet when it came for them to testify, they were told that it was not necessary.
What I enjoyed about this book was the fact that it was real and did not conspire to create any theory or confusion to what already exists to be a debated matter, even after 20 years. They were eyewitnesses to photographers taking photos after photos while the princess and Dodi were dying in the car.
I don’t believe that the authors were trying to say that they had something more or less to offer as a witness. Why did the police not find it necessary when it came for them to testify? This is very questionable. Surely, when it is such a sensitive subject, and any key element or information could sway towards clarity towards the night, then every single witness should have been taken into account.
The literature was good however the book is a script. This may not be everyone’s ideal way of reading a fiction thriller. The structure could have been written with a better flow and connectivity to ease the eyes. I believe it took courage for the authors to let everyone else know what they experienced and for that, I think this book is special.
I recommend this book to people who love Princess Diana and want to know what happened on her last day.
