Rating: 4 stars I had a hard time thinking of how to rate this book because it started off in a way that I didn’t like and felt that way until a bit more than halfway through. Then that last half though was pretty good. I once had a class…
Rating: 4.5 stars I used to have a friend who always complained about non-STEM people or whoever using physics/math concepts in their writing while having no idea of it, such as relativity, quantum entanglement, wormholes or a billion other things. This same friend liked Star Trek, so uh, I guess…
Rating: 5.5 stars First, an aside. The copy of Watchmen that I got has a nice box on the front telling us that the graphic novel’s now an HBO series, which is kinda funny, right? The events of the book are mostly (kinda) in the movie, which seems to have…
Rating: 2.5 stars I waited to get this book for about half a year, and when I finally got through the library holds, it came the same day as Stoner. “Oh no, I only have three weeks and a bunch of work to do, how will I ever get through…
Rating: 4.5 stars I have been meaning to read this book for about a year, but it’s been on a really long hold at the library. I read other things while I waited, and, had I read this book first, I would have had more appreciation for it, I think.…

Rating: 5.5 stars If I were more intelligent, I wouldn’t write reviews of classics. I guess this can’t really be that because the book is only a little less than 80 years old. But I should’ve thought of that before I reviewed One Hundred Years of Solitude! The book is…
Rating: 5 stars The good: An interesting second story in the series with a lovely amount of depth The bad: It felt a little dense at times The long: Second stories in a series have traditionally been a thorn in the author’s side. When I first began, I had a…
Rating: 5 stars The good: The story is another Olive and Violet Bright adventure, quick moving, educational and entertaining. The bad: Judith and Jack aren’t to be found in the story, but the story makes it up with new characters. The long: The third book of the series outlines some…
I want to start this review by saying I read it over New Years Eve. I started reading a little bit and thought I'd get done later this week, but I couldn't put it down. The stories about Olive and Violet Bright, the namesakes of the book, and how along…
