The Alexandria Link, Steve Berry

India

alexandria linkSteve Berry has done it again. He has continued to push the boundaries of my mind and made me question what I know. Cotton Malone is back in his book shop after having helped to find the Knights of Templar in Steve Berry’s other novel, The Templar Legacy. This time though, it’s personal. His ex-wife suddenly appears at his door in the middle of the night, she still lives in Georgia, and she tells him that his son has been kidnapped. What Cotton finds out from her is that it all has something to do with the confidential file of, The Alexandria Link. With this file coming up again, a secret operative only Cotton knew about. One thing that is known about The Alexandria Link, is that it somehow has ties to infamous Library of Alexandria, a vast wealth of knowledge that comes unparalleled to anything that we have today, and is sought out by anyone who is true search of knowledge.

Malone and his ex-wife are forced to go on a world wide trip to find the truth, and to save their son.
The Alexandria Link by Steve Berry is an amazing thriller. I love books that get started right off the bat with something that makes you want to turn the page. I love Steve Berry books and have read others that are not on this blog like, The Templar Legacy, The Third Secret, and The Romanov Prophecy. The Romanov Prophecy is probably my favorite right now because I love Anastasia, and the Romanovs, and then The Templar Legacy follows suit because it reminds me of Angels and Demons and The DaVinci Code, both books I love tremendously. Until next time,

Destined (House of Night Book 9), P.C. and Kristin Cast

India

destined cover

Honestly, I’m not going to even give a summary of this book. It is the exact same thing as the rest of them. Zoey has some problems, the Nerd Herd and the Warriors go to fix it. The interesting parts are Lenobia’s semi love story, and the cleansing ritual that has to be done on her Grandmother’s land.

Nothing has changed about the story line, and we’re 9 books in. I used to give this series so much praise, but they’re really short, super easy to read, and I’m reading the same thing. There has not been a plot twist since they got back to school. I’m looking for a lot more, and I’ll read the next one when I don’t know what else to read. Until next time,

The Casual Vacancy, J.K. Rowling

India

casual vacancy
Two small areas, one slightly larger town, and a whole lot of families. The Casual Vacancy is about a small town who suddenly finds themselves with what is known as a “Casual Vacancy” when someone is unexpectedly removed from a position on the Parish Council. In this case it was Barry Fairbrother, who unknowingly touched so many lives in Pagford during his time on Earth. Without him there seems to be a shift in balance, and people start to act all types of crazy and begin fighting with everyone. As usual I’m not going to spoil the ending, but get ready for it. It was probably the best and worst part.

There’s a lot going on in this book. This was not my favorite, and it took me awhile to get through it. Of course it was nothing like Harry Potter, and it was not supposed to be, but I felt like something was lacking. There were a lot of character names, but none of them were very memorable and it was difficult to keep some of them straight in your head. There was a lot of bickering to no avail with anyone. It starts off with an unexpected death, but then I personally felt like it did not grow from there. I don’t know… the book just did not grasp me the way Harry Potter did, or the way other fictional books did. If you’re a JK Rowling fan of course you have to add this book to you library, and I’m probably going to be shamed by what I said. I’m going to read The Cuckoo’s Calling next and we’ll see how I feel about that. Until next time,

The Hobbit: Movie vs. Book Part 2

India

the hobbit  the hobbit part 2

Now, there’s a lot of positive things to say about this movie. I absolutely loved the movie! Just like I love everything about LOTR, but I have some issues with it as well. Most of the things that happen in this movie do not actually happen in the book. I personally believe the main reason that they added a lot of it was to make it into a trilogy to make money.

For example there is a lot of time spent in the river town, and not actually on the people on the quest. I understand that there is need for a back story, but how they actually found the door in the book was a little bit different than the way it occurred in the movie. Also a lot of Gandalf’s journey did not happen, but I really liked how they made that back story. Of course I will own the Extended Editions to add to my extended editions LOTR set, and I will watch them numerous times, but I’m just saying I don’t like change! But I understand the reason for it. Until Next Time,
