Review: The Ambition

Matthew — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 22:01:09 +0000

I have read most of Lee Strobel's Case For books, but given his extensive journalistic background, I was confident that he would have plenty of material to glean from when I heard about The Ambition. I started it yesterday afternoon and just finished it today. It was hard to put down and was a very enjoyable read. Similar to his writing style in his other books, Strobel wrote The Ambition in a way that was easy to read, kept you interested and engaged, and nicely tied multiple story lines together. Initially I found myself going back to seeing who was who because the story quickly jumps to different main characters interacting with key supporting characters, but once acquainted, it was a smooth and entertaining read.

Review: Empire of the Gods

Matthew — Fri, 16 Dec 2011 17:03:09 +0000

About two weeks ago, I was contact by David Stag, author of Empire of the Gods, and was asked if I would be willing to read and review his book. The reviews that I have been posting on Amazon were for this very moment, so I gladly accepted and started reading when I finished my previous book. While I am very appreciative of Stag going out of his way to let me read his book, I cannot say that it is a book that I would heartily recommend.

Review: The Alloy of Law

Matthew — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 07:01:38 +0000

It has been a while since I have had the pleasure of returning to a Brandon Sanderson book. Having read all of his published works over the span of a few months (excluding his Wheel of Time books), I was having Sanderson withdrawal. Enter The Alloy of Law, a Mistborn book during an industrial revolution period. Considering I have yet to read a Sanderson book that I have not thoroughly enjoyed, I was psyched for this book and having just finished it, my expectations were met and darn it, I want more!

Review: Fuzzy Nation

Matthew — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 13:27:40 +0000

Had I known it was based on H. Beam Piper's Little Fuzzy, I probably would have read it prior to reading John Scalzi's Fuzzy Nation. That, however, is not what happened, so I went into Fuzzy Nation with no preconceptions of what the book would be like, who it was about, or what would happen. With that out of the way, Fuzzy Nation was an enjoyable, if not familiar, read.

Review: Forbidden (The Book of Mortals)

Matthew — Tue, 11 Oct 2011 22:41:47 +0000

I kept telling myself Ted Dekker's next book will be better than his last. I kept telling myself that he would not continue to pull the same shenanigans of old and thrust illogical interactions in unbelievable situations and yet again, use love as a gimmick. I kept telling myself that he is capable of writing a great story and that when I finished the book, I would be happy with what I just read. The truth of the matter was self-evident: Dekker's best days are well behind him.
