Book Review: A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin

This is the first books of one of the best fantasy series. This is the third fantasy series of books I have gotten into. It is the only fantasy series I have read as and adult. This book is a part of the seven book series of A Song of Ice and Fire. I really do not get into fantasy books very often but after reading A Game of Thorns I became hooked. Be careful if you buy one of the books in this series your going to end up buying all seven and you'll have to wait to get the last two books.

George R.R. Martin is a creative author and his stories are really captivating. It was like reading The Hobbit for the first time when I was twelve. I will never forget that book either. Very few authors are able to capture the attention of the reader like George Marten. He really brings you to a world of imagery with his writing, instead of you just staring at the words in the book.

Every time I pick up one of his books I read them intensely. I can't wait for the next release. This series is really good. I'd say it even has movie potential. Directors a movie goers are getting more and more interested in the genre of book. I think the mind needs a break from reality every once in a while this book give me that chance.

Book Review: The Sex Live of Cannibals by J Maarten Troost

What the heck? I was cruising the shelves and I came upon this book. I only skimmed a bit of it at the book store because it has a really odd title.

The title is obviously there to capture your attention and I bought right into it. The book appeared to be about this guy and his girl who took a trip to some island.

It really isn't my kind of book. It is one of those liberal things and although I am open minded I don't read books like this.

If you are a liberal check it out. He may have found something interesting that you will be able to relate. This book has the potential to lead people to new cultural experiences. I can't even find ten people to go have a traditional chinese meal with. Who needs to read the menu. Just eat the crap the give you for the sake of trying new things.

Book Review: In Defense of Food by Michael Pollan

Anybody who knows me knows that I do eat a very healthy diet. This book is basically about eating foods that are whole. The simple premise is that many of the foods that are eating today are manufactured in a way that the body doesn't recognize or absorb them.

One of the Arguments Michael makes is don't eat food that you gammy wouldn't recognize. I don't agree with this totally. I eat quite a bit of tofu. If would say if they didn't eat it one hundred years ago then your not supposed to be eating it now. He also despises vitamins. I agree get these from eating foods as they come. This is a really good book and the author does a good job of avoiding the pulpit.

Book Review: Storming Las Vegas by John Huddy

My buddy read this book. I am not into the whole Vegas thing and gambling. He keeps tauting it as one of the best books he's read in a long time. That is only because it is one of the only books he has read in a long time. Should I breakdown and read this one? So far, I think I will stand strong. What do you think?

Apparently this is about a refugee from Cuba who unleashes a violent wave of robberies on Las Vegas. He robs banks and casinos to strike a blow against our captalist society. Again, not my type of book. My bud acts like this is a true story but I've never heard about any of this on the news. Maybe I am just out of the loop.

Book Review: Reconciliation by Benazir Bhutto

This is truly a book written by a great person. It is unfortunate that she died before her time. She stood for the people of Pakistan even though the politics of the country had already taken the lives of four of her relatives.

This book is about the way Benazir Bhutto sees her culture evolving. She finished this book just before she was assassinated and this book is her last cry to the people she worked so hard to benefit.

Any intelligent reader will make a quick read out of this book. I absolutely suggest getting your hands on this book as soon as possible.

Book Review: Duma Key by Stephen King

This book is about a guy who loses his limb in an accident. This causes him to lose his cool as well. He chases most of the people out of his life who love him and at the urging of his therapist takes a change of scenery.

Where else should he go other than a small island. Here he takes interest in his new hobbie, which is comparable to his phantom limb. Sounds kind of paranormal to me. Remember this book was written by Stephen King. His new hobbie causes him a lot of trouble and at first he is able to his advantage. Then come the twist and turns. Most good things don't last right.

This book is not my cup of tea but I still like it. I'd suggest giving this one a read. If you are not typically into these types of novels you may want to skip reading the book. I think the book has the ability to capture reader outside of the normal niche. I typically hate Stephen King, but I liked this novel.

Book Review: The Appeal by John Grisham

With the upcoming elections this book seems appropriately entertaining. It is about rigging an election. If an eletion is rigged it takes all of the suprise away. This time around I think the democrats will have to take some of the John's tactics from the book to get a win. Clinton and Obama what a laugh. Not that I am happy with the republican candidates.

Well this book is really intriguing. It actually, makes politics really interesting. The book is a real political roller coaster. It really does have a lot of suspense. It brings together the Mississippi political process, ghost coporations, senators and billionaire CEO's together to make a spiderweb of scheming and moral dilemna.

I really recommend this book it is a great read. The only thing is that it is a really quick read. I didn't think I would be ready to move on to the next book so quickly. Maybe I will revisit this book in a month or so.
