The Prize by Geoffrey M. Cooper (Book Review #420)
I really enjoyed reading this book since it reminded me of the bone curse from Carrie Rubin. The author uses his knowledge in the field of science, and medicine in order to produce a thrilling story.
I found the literature to be strong and very compelling to read. The subject matter focused on being a thriller as well as combine medical references without creating any loopholes in the storyline.
What matters here is that the author manages to pull off a really intriguing story and for that, I recommend it to people that like to read medical stories and thrillers.

The Limpet Syndrome by Tony Moyle (Book Review 231)
The Limpet Syndrome is a science fiction novel about John Hewsen. John is pronounced dead, however; his soul is somehow still alive. He is in limbo and is in a form of a ball of electricity that still has sensory perception and can experience, emotions, characteristics and possess memories. This condition is called the Limpet syndrome. John is sent on a mission to locate Sandy Logan, the minister of homeland security for the British government. Sandy is a lost soul and if John is able to retrieve him then he will be rewarded with either having his soul positively charged in order to travel to heaven or he can be housed next to father’s soul, in hell. John is left with a harsh predicament and his mission becomes a not too easy one.
Although the story consisted of a dominant afterlife perspective, it was not a doom and gloom kind of novel. The author managed to create this backstory of life and death, accompanying scientific and logical reasoning, for the possibility of what the plot had to offer. The clerk in the story was like the person giving all the information needed for the reader to understand the position and situation John was under.
The character development was done superbly. I believe that is one of the strong aspects of this book. The dialogue had a British slang to it which was nice and the literary standard was in good quality. Everything was easy to understand and the pace of the story was steady enough to keep the interest going. I particularly enjoyed the heaven and hell concept of the plot. I believe, with all the world building and the settings provided in this story, the author can easily create more work and added storylines to this book.
I recommend this book to anyone that is interested in reincarnation, corruption, the human condition, OCD and talking pigeons.

Fitness Powered Brains by Chong Chen (Book Review #232)
Fitness powered brains is a short book revolutionizing the field of physical fitness and brain science. The book provides strategies to strengthen the brain and by doing so, increase productivity. It also subsequently, assists with the coping methods and reduces stress.
The intention of the author, I believe, is to assist the reader in achieving a better life and providing a more successful way of living. He believes that fit people are more effective, possess an efficient brain, have a higher stress tolerance, and create more neurons.
What I enjoyed about this book and believe it to be different than any other self-help book is that it identifies various forms of counteracts that prevent you from exercising. It pinpoints that factor and then resolves it with providing methods to resolve the problem. For instance, if you have a work-family conflict or if your life is a never-ending struggle and you feel like burning out, it assists you in overcoming it.
This book is short but very sweet for the people who are in need of a direct and successful method in overcoming their problems by exercising.
I recommend this book to anyone that is looking for a better life.

Full Circle by Regina Timothy (Book Review #419)
I found the story to be very touching. In order for the storyline to have a nice impact on its reader, the author had to create a compelling personality for the main character. Her ordeal and life encounters were truly heartbreaking and what existed was a remarkable representation of hardship, peace, and forgiveness.
The literature was easy to understand, and the pace of the story was steady. I found the work to be just as long and filled with a roller-coaster of emotional encounters. I recommend this book to fiction readers and people that have an open mind.

Your Ultimate ACT Prep Book by Ashleigh Owens (Book Review #233)
Your Ultimate ACT prep book is written with the intention to provide the best strategy and work ethic to increase your score. ACT is divided into four multiple choice subject tests: English, mathematics, reading, and science reasoning. Subject test scores range from 1 to 36; all scores are integers. The book is like a test prep course without the expensive costs.
What I liked about the book was that it is integrated into four chapters which can be read separately and in any order, you like. The parts cover study plans, study resources, secret tools, and even how to register with the program.
The author has spent a considerable amount of time in clarifying everything. The work is organized and direct. It is short and to the point with no additional, unnecessary, content that is irrelevant or acting like a filler.
I recommend this book to students that are preparing for the ACT test and wish to score higher than they do.

Plato Wyngard and the Valley of the Immortals by Marc & James Lindsay (Book Review #215)
This review was kindly requested by Marc Lindsay.
Plato Wyngard and the Valley of the Immortals is a thriller fiction story, written about Plato Wyngard. He is in search of answers for his father’s death; instead, he becomes stuck in the Vietnam War trying to locate four ancient relics in order to find the Jade Cup. The power of the Cup provides immortality. The drug Lord and the Guild of Wolves are also trying to find this Cup and use it for its purposes. Although; neither the time setting or the genre of the book comes close to the mummy story, I just could not help myself but to remember it or compare it to that plot.
I thoroughly enjoyed the action-packed scene after scene with this adventure book. It truly was an enjoyment throughout simply because the flow and the connectivity of the story had been well put together. The literary standard was admirable.
I believe what makes this book interesting was its character development. Plato and his partner, Luther were drafted splendidly. The characters were relatable and since Plato was also seeking closure over his father, it made the story to have an emotional edge rather than it being just an action venture.
I recommend this book to people that like to read on the Vietnam War and also enjoy thriller fiction stories.

Silas Morlock by Mark Cantrell (Book Review #418)
What I enjoyed most about the book was its originality. The literature was strong, and the pace was steady keeping the reader interested wanting to know what was to come. Adam had a neat personality. He wasn’t the hero everyone wants to see. He is a misfit but, happens to be given great responsibility.
The world description stood out for me. It had the descriptive nature of a good story and did not overexpose the parts where you would need to keep in order for the story to move forward. I believe anyone interested in science fiction and dystopian stories would really enjoy this one.
The work could improve where it all comes together, but that did not take away anything from enjoying the nature of its substance.
I believe the author has potential in creating good work and is one to look out for.

Immediacy: Our Ways of Coping in Everyday Life (Book Review #189)
“I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars.”
This book was an “OnlineBookClub.org Book of the Day.”
Immediacy is a non-fiction – Psychology – Social Science book written about ways of which we can cope in everyday life.
The book begins with informing us that from the day we are born, every single one of us must cope with the world we live in. Based on how effective with cope, we succeed to survive. The transaction between an organism and its environment is vital if one is to live a fulfilled life. The book dwells on the social- psychological aspect of the transactions taking place and believes that it is in fact, out inadequate ways of looking for information which creates human pain and suffering.
I found the book to be academically suited. It felt like reading a thesis and that the author was in the process of bringing something new to the table. The literature standard was outstanding and although the book appears to be written in an educational way, I believe anyone would enjoy getting to know more about the social aspect of human behavior.
Get Free Online Therapy. Should You Use Free Counseling?
Immediacy is the focus of this book and it is examined in five ways. The author really categorizes the topics he wishes to discuss in a very organized way. The chapters and layout of the book, for instance, examines Transcendence, Constriction, Impingings, Transformation, and the unknowable in immediacy throughout the book. The paradigm is discussed through various essays and it is a venture.
In summary, the book beautifully informs us that unanswered questions are to be a catalyst. It should energize and awaken us to new possibilities rather than disappoint and dissatisfy us.
I highly recommend this book to psychologists, social science readers, and people that appreciate knowing more about human behavior.

Reincarnation by Tabitha Zalot (Book Review #190)
Reincarnation is a non- fiction- semi-religious book written about Karma and what happens after death. The author believes that there are seven levels of astral worlds where people have to evolve through different lives until they reach the level of Karma, which can liberate them from the reincarnation cycle.
I found the book to lack major references and substantial evidence to suggest the opinions mentioned in the content. There are some indications of the type of religions or faith that do think the same in reincarnation, but the author failed to really create a believable argument to convince the reader and validate his thoughts.
The book was very short and focused more on good Karma, bad Karma instead of reincarnation itself. The other thing I would like to add is that the book did have some editing issues. There were sentences starting with “so” or at one time the paragraph began with “long story short”, which indicates the lack of quality in providing acceptable written literature.
Besides all mentioned above, the author does succeed in providing a glimpse of what the astral world is like and how one can succeed in evolving their soul.
