The Writer's LibraryTitanic by Filson YoungMy rating: 4 of 5 stars They said she was unsinkable. They said she was paradise. She turned out to be a fool’s paradise.I’ll admit that the only reason that I read this book was because my favorite singer is releasing his own “film scores” based on historical events, and the sinking […]
Under the Banner of Heaven: A Story of Violent Faith by Jon KrakauerMy rating: 1 of 5 stars Why did I buy this? Seriously, why? So I was watching a documentary about the FLDS church and its so-called “prophet” Warren Jeffs. But I wanted to know more about him and what his problem is, why […]
Frankenstein by Mary ShelleyMy rating: 4 of 5 stars “Beware; for I am fearless and therefore powerful.” Wow… just wow. Let me start off by saying that I am reading this in my senior English class. My teacher knows how much I enjoy reading and, shortly after we began reading a modernized version of this […]
Running from Safety: An Adventure of the Spirit by Richard BachMy rating: 4 of 5 stars “Life is.” Sometimes in the rush of life, we forget the maxim written above. Life is not a mystery, life is not about waking up and getting through the day. On its own, life simply is, but we in […]
Hypnotizing Maria by Richard BachMy rating: 4 of 5 Richard Bach has hypnotized me. It is in no way easy to comprehend the concept of hypnosis when you see hypnotist shows or are even subject to it. Hypnosis can reach into areas of the mind that cannot be reached when awake and not in a […]
Sherlock Holmes Investigates. The Pink Jewel Conundrum by Philip van WulvenMy rating: 2 of 5 stars Sorry this one took me longer than usual. I finished this late last night and was out all day today. So….. let’s get to it…. This book had a pretty strong starting point. It certainly felt like a Holmes […]
The Devil’s Grin by Annelie WendebergMy rating: 1 of 5 stars I don’t understand this book’s aim. Is it a Holmes pastiche? Is it its own story? I put it under Project Sherlock because it uses Holmes’ name and tries to pay homage to his methods…. for the first chapter of the book. After that, […]
The continued Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Samuel IngraldiMy rating: 2 of 5 stars In the simplest terms, too short. The so-called “resurrection” of the diabolical Professor James Moriarty has been done before (many times, in fact). Counting this short story, I have already perused three novels concerning the return of the Napoleon of Crime. […]
Shadows Over Baker Street by Michael ReavesMy rating: 4 of 5 stars Please note that my rating of this book is merely the rating I gave out most often to the stories presented and does not represent the rating for every story. Those ratings make up my updates. This novel shouldn’t work. Sherlock Holmes mixing […]
The Last Sherlock Holmes Story by Michael DibdinMy rating: 3 of 5 stars The problem is sometimes preferable to the solution…. I’ve read Dust and Shadow and that novel honestly did not live up to expectations. So why did I pick up another Holmes mystery involving Jack the Ripper? Well, first of all, I’m running […]
