The Case of the Twitter Troll by Tim Price (Book Review #169)
The case of the twitter troll is a fiction thriller written about Kyle and Ally. They are both tired of the old fashioned police rules and problems, so they open up their own agency tracking down cyberspace crimes and related social media felonies.
As they both receive their first mission from a celebrity they realize that they have their hands full. The celebrity in question is having a problem with an online bully that is sending threats and is trolling the celebrity.
I initially thought that this book was not going to intrigue me. The concept of cyberspace and it being connecting to any serious crime seemed a little off reach to me however, the author really managed to convince me that if push does come to shove, then your life really can be affected by it.
I particularly liked how the book used term phrases like “keyboard warriors” as a reference to people who believe that they face no consequences, by typing behind their keyboards and that they are untouchable.
I found the literary standard to be well written. The content had a steady flow and the connectivity between the chapters and the paragraphs were well thought out. I believe that the book would benefit from more description and character backstory. Otherwise, I highly recommend this book for anyone that is looking for a thriller fiction with a hint of romance.
The world has changed and so has its crimes. I believe that the plot was original and that this author has great potential in producing well-written tales.

On Being Human | Bibiana Krall
On Being Human | Bibiana Krall
Trials, challenges, and noise cloud our days. As humans, we all share common biology of skin, organs, bones and emotional needs. I am not merely human, but I am a mother, a female, and a deep thinker.
When we stop listening to our inner voice, we become less than what we could be. How can one be more than they were yesterday? Why should we prod ourselves to nurture and dream in a world that does not cherish it; rather than survive and sustain? Ah! The ten-million-dollar question glimmers like an echo. Read More
History of the 20th century by Wayne M. Nestor (Book Review #191)
The book provides a small description of famous Politicians and important men that were around the 20th century such as Churchill, John Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela, and Manhatma Gandhi. It also mentions significant people that were influential at the time such as Charlie Chaplin, Louis Armstrong, Coco Chanel and more. The 20th century furthermore had its scientific and technological developments such as Albert Einstein, inventing the theory of relativity or Marie Curie, who discovered radiation.
From the first paragraph, I noticed clear editing issues and incomplete sentences. Besides the editing issues, I found the book to be very interesting. It is a very fast read through everything that you may already know. The author refreshes your memory with what you have learned at school and induces you to think how much things have changed now.

The Robber of Youth by Keith Julius (Book Review #195)
The Robber of Youth is the third book in ‘The CASA Chronicles’. Rosaletta Guiterrez is only fifteen when she loses her brother and her mother kicks her out. She is abused living at home and once thrown out she thinks that things will get better however, they get worse. She befriends a man believing that he is going to save her from her horrible situation; instead, she ends up being involved in a sex trafficking ring.
I believe the author’s intentions bring about a story that is heartfelt and extraordinary. The lead character has such core emotions and deals with immense amount of pain trying to figure things out, in her own childish way.
Children do go astray when they have no one to lean back on and the problem does raise the issue. The literature standard was outstandingly delightful. There are depth, emotions and real life situations described in an honest and authentic way within the content of the story. No one will think the same way after reading this book.
The author’s previous works also revolve around similar child abuse fictional novels. In fact, CASA stands for Court Appointed Special Advocates that work through the judicial system, and advocate for children in cases of child abuse and child neglect.
I highly recommend this book to people that enjoy fiction and reading on subjects that are real and sensitive to the heart.

Neil Gaiman
I love positive messages like this. Let’s do something with life! It does not matter if it is a mistake to anyone. If it means something to you, then that is all that matters.
