(Witness Anonymous Relocation Program) sci-fi fantasy series for middle-grade readers revolving around Chevron Savano and young Riley and taking place in London between today and 1898. My Take This was fascinating! Colfer has completely twisted time travel and secret agents, coming up with a unique approach to both. He is an artist in his introduction of his concept for this story; his colorful, exotic characters; and, the mechanics of the traveling. Combine this with his descriptive genius that pulls me into turn-of-the-century London with its “aromas” and the clever depictions of both sides of the law in The Reluctant Assassin and…well, all I can say is that I haven’t stopped thinking of this story since the day I read it. Sure, it’s gets a bit hokey, but I can’t deny Colfer’s excessive imagination and his ability to write a vivid picture. One of my disconnects in this story is Chevron’s being an FBI […]

Book Review: David Khara’s The Bleiberg Project
I received this book for free from in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.The Bleiberg Projecton April 22, 2013 and has 202 pages.Explore it on Goodreads or Amazon First in the Consortium thriller series revolving around a secret underground agency set on remaking the world. My Take This was good with a cast of characters with whom I empathized and cried for. …I don’t think I’ll ever understand evil, other than that it exists. I was conflicted over a “3” or a “4” and chose to rank it up simply because it was a treat to read — no grammatical issues to leap out and trip my eyeballs up and very nicely translated by Simon John. The story incorporates flashbacks — and I’m very grateful for the notice at each chapter start that tells me where I am in the story! — that flash over a range of decades from Hitler’s imprisonment for the Beer Hall Putsch in 1923 to Jay’s memories of his childhood. I thought Khara was reasonably evenhanded in how he treated soldiers in the German army, pointing out that they and the […]

Book Review: Kim Donovan’s The Big Bank Burglary
I received this book for free from in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.The Big Bank Burglaryon January 4, 2013 and has 160 pages.Explore it on Goodreads or Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Kobo Second in the St. Viper’s School for Super Villains fantasy series for kids. My Take It’s cute, but it’s missing some of the joie de vivre of the first book, The Riotous Rocket Ship Robbery, in this series. I did like the graphics in this story; they were simpler and their greater contrast rendered better on a Kindle. This one is a lesson in not getting too full of yourself, and poor Demon…it’s a hard lesson to undergo. He isn’t helping matters either with his bragging and cockiness. It just makes it easier to make a fool of Demon until he starts to pay attention to other people. Then there’s that last revelation at the end…hoo, boy. Donovan continues the praise for the kids being evil — I do love this angle. It’s such a head spinner! I guess that’s why it’s difficult to reconcile my wanting Demon to be nicer to his friends and […]
