Health, Tips, Myths, And Tricks: A Physician’s Advice” by Morton E. Tavel (Book Review #114)
[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of “HEALTH TIPS, MYTHS, AND TRICKS: A Physician’s Advice” by Morton E. Tavel]
Health tips, myths, and tricks is a fitness, well-being and dieting book written by Morton E. Tavel. Within this book, the author offers an insightful look into differentiating between what is fake and real in the health industry. In addition, the author proposes many substitutes to our bad eating habits and provides health advice. The advice and suggestions are all based on either the author’s opinion or the results of numerous studies.
The entire book is divided into three sections, and each section covers many topics such as coffee consumption, the effects of green tea, chocolate being bad or good, foods to avoid, alcohol, smoking, how to lose weight, and much more. Nothing is confusing about the title and what this book offers. They both work hand in hand to assist the reader in providing better choices and knowledge. By the end of the book, you are fully informed and satisfied with knowing the truth about pretty much most health issues. Continue Reading…
The Flawed Ones by Jay Chirino (Book Review #349)
The book not only raises awareness towards the subject matter but it also provides an eye-opening realization for the ones that have no idea what people with mental illness go through. Addiction is something most people suffer from. The author provides much heartfelt backstory to what causes his downfall. Once he loses the love over his unstable lifestyle, he changes things around. The turning point then becomes his light and what transpires to be this beautiful book of celebrating life.
I found the book to be written with much care, and it took me on a delightful emotional journey. I recommend this book to people who wish to know how it feels to be surrounded by so much darkness and how to overcome it.
The literature was easy to understand and to follow. The concept and content were well connected smoothly, causing the reader to remain intrigued and interested. I believe everything happens for a reason and this book is one of those you really don’t wish to miss reading.

The Daddy Game by Shadez (Book Review #113)
This review was written for Online Book Club
“I rate this book 2 out of 4 stars.”
This book was an “OnlineBookClub.org Book of the Day.”
The Daddy game is about Deshaun, a bachelor in his 30’s that enjoys having women for sexual pleasure and has no intention to commit to any one of them. In his defense, he does kind of make it clear to the women that his intentions are not everlasting, however, as women mostly wish to change a man they are with; they fall under his spell and give in.
Deshaun meets his match in a way, after spending some time with a woman named Tiffy. She has a plan, and her plan works. Tiffy is not going to let Deshaun walk away scots free, and so she traps him by getting pregnant, enforcing him to commit to her and the baby.
Deshaun has no choice but to play along. However, his current girlfriend is also still in the picture. I use the term girlfriend, very loosely of course, as he changes them like socks. Things are heated up at the baby shower, and eventually, the story ends up with a very interesting twist. Shaun has a plan and is very bitter.
Many discussions and debates can be done regarding this book. The topic was not novel, and I didn’t feel like it had anything new to offer in its genre. There were too many spelling, typos, errors and grammatical issues in this book. Enough to make you shake your head. However, what I did enjoy was the humor within the content of the book. The lead character is definitely not someone you would like. There are many sexual descriptions and profane language used in this book as well.
I always say, don’t hate the author just because you hate the lead character. In this case, I know that I extremely disliked the lead character but look forward to reading more from the author.
I believe anyone that likes to read an easy book and enjoys having a laugh over it will benefit from buying this book.

Ladies of Market Street by Emily Whitaker (Book Review #102)
Right from the start, the story throws you into a drama scene where Veronica Baldwin is locked in a basement. She is being imprisoned alongside twenty other women. These women are being used as sex slaves. She is trying to escape.
Then we go back four days earlier. Veronica has sent an invitation to ten wealthy men to attend her all-inclusive party. The men are there to donate for a good cause, and in return, these women are to show these guys a good time.These working women take care of each other and have each other’s back. As they agree on things for the next day they realize that one of their friends is missing. As they chase to get her back, she is taken away from them. Veronica promises herself to find her friend.
There is mystery, drama, friendship and love throughout this comic book. The graphics are very well drawn, and you can easily understand each scene and how interactive it is. The story has a sweet plot, and the casting crew is well played out. I have to admit; I found the women to be extremely ugly.
The story makes you want to know more about the characters, and the ending leaves you with wanting more. Although this comic book is short and sweet, I still felt that it contained a lot of information.
I recommend this to comic book fans and look forward to reading more from this author.

Another Stupid Spell by Bill Ricardi (Book Review #348)
The story is written in the first narrative and therefore, allows you to see and experience everything in Sorch’s perspective. I think that added a substantial amount of positive influence towards the reader as it made it more personal.
I felt that the world setting created a really nice effect on the storyline. The reader was able to easily feel the Orcs and the situation they were under. I found the story to have a nice flow to it, and the literature had a sweet style of writing that only made you bond with the characters even more. The journey was also exciting. It was all about liberation but also, pain, love and more.
I recommend this story to people that like to read science fiction stories.

THE CHANGING NATURE OF EDUCATION
In this era of globalization, the interdependence of nation is not restricted to the competitive paradigm of international trade and commerce. It has far-reaching impact on the regional, national and intra-national diversity of a country, which includes rapid demographic, social, and economic change. Its influence can be perceived from the constantly evolving social norms, and the concept of education is no different to this change.
Education viz. knowing the knowable’ is a vital part of our existence. It determines our efficiency, response, and conduct towards a country’s resources. The better the quality, the higher moral resource of a country is determined. Hence, the quality of education system determines the bonafide personalities it is producing. The importance continues to develop in the context of changing global scenarios.
Furthermore, in the present times, the advent of a globalized world has resulted in rapidly increasing socio-economic environments, inter-cultural exchanges, and high-paced technological advancements. Thus resultantly broadening the horizon of education from the conventional forms of classroom education.
The purpose of education is not limited to academic pursuits or the development of professional acumen, but moralization of a man. It includes the need for a holistic system that provides with values full of compassions, ethics, and engages in the peaceful development of individuals.
Today, there are numerous means of education. Earlier classroom, teachers, and libraries were by large the only mediums of education, but with the introduction of technological platform, the identity of the classroom, teachers, and libraries have changed. We have developed virtual realities which include virtual mediums changing the entire educational mechanism of humankind.
The challenge today is to reduce the disparity in the educational mechanism and to deal with the concerns with respect to the growing environmental challenges, technological and philosophical threats. To make it sustainable by providing various platforms to interact and exchange ideas which will facilitate the required growth in the education sector. After all, we cannot limit ourselves by only brimming the society with literates.

Lumiana by Alex Benkast (Book Review #347)
Johnny is looking to create an album, and when he hears Lumiana’s voice, he is awestruck. There is foul play at hand, however, and that causes a stormy event between the two which induces the reader and the story to be very interesting to read.
When I initially saw the cover of the book, I was instantly drawn to see what the story was about. It had that feminine touch to it which was appealing for a romantic story. I personally enjoyed Lumiana’s personality. The author described the story in a very emotional and touching way, which was needed for the plot. A gifted and talented girl whose heartbreak was felt and was very relatable added to the drama and the dashing.
The relationship between Lumiana and Johnny was also believable and not too – Hollywood style. The foundation of the storyline was also strong since this is to be the first of its series, the author introduced a cast filled with character and narratives, in order to add to its branches.
I believe anyone interested in reading a well-written romance novel will enjoy this one.
Warm Regards,

Kale and Jason by Travis Lee (Book Review #103)
This review was kindly requested by the Author, Travis Lee.
Do the paths you take and the dreams of getting there always appear to be the right course of action? And let’s assume you get there, is it then, all you ever wanted?
For Kale & Jason, this story begins with a dream, a goal that is borderline obsessive. Becoming a warrior is all they ever want to be. Jason is an apprentice, and as usual, his master is holding back on teaching him everything Jason needs to know. This fact frustrates our aspiring young lad, and on the other side, Kale seems to have a better chance, or so it seems. He receives occasional tutoring via a swordsman.
The setting for this Wizarding World is exceptionally well written. Although the two main characters come from a separate and different way of growing up, they both share a touching childhood, and that is, being an orphan. The tale is written from two perspectives, which was very insightful.
Everything changes when raiders attack Kale’s village. These two men meet, and it is their time to shine. There is a sword named the Masamune. This sword plays a significant role in the story.
Although I found the cover of the book to be not as clear, I enjoyed reading the tale. The story does take on enough backstory to support the whole plot. I found the ending and the build up to getting there quite pleasing. The author’s style of writing is delicate to the mind and easy on the understanding.
Everything about the story and the casting crew was very well thought out. I believe that this science fiction, dark fantasy tale does draw you in enough to forget your surroundings and inclusively indulge yourself into the drama and exciting battles it retains.
Having read so many books in the Wizarding world, I believe this one was unique and I do recommend it.

Quest Chasers: The Deadly Cavern by Grace & Thomas Lockhaven (Book Review #104)
Thie review was kindly requested by Grace Lockhaven.
Quest Chasers is a charming children’s book written about a girl named Eevie and a boy named Tommy. There is a very pleasing bond of friendship between these two, and as they enter the world of which they have never known before, they are trapped. Every quest is a riddle, and every riddle has an answer to opening a way for their freedom.
The setting and story take them to a fantasy world named Labyrinth. It is similar to the kind of worlds you enter when you read Narnia. I particularly enjoyed the fact that the children had to think to get out of sticky situations. The tale focuses on magic, imagination, challenges, and problem-solving and that, in my opinion, makes a perfect recipe for a children’s book.
As the children become closer to the end, they realize that the path they may have taken was not entirely the correct one. This magical fantasy book surprises you with a very sweet ending and grabs you into wanting to know more.
The literary standard was perfect for children. I found it very easy to understand, and the paragraphs possessed a relatively gentle flow of connectivity. There was just enough backstory and world-building to invite a child’s mind into this fantasy, and I believe that this was executed superbly. The authors seem to have good knowledge of what children like to read and to imagine in a story.
I highly recommend this book for parents and their children and look forward to reading more from these authors.
