Rush Revere and the First Patriots: Time-Travel Adventures With Exceptional Americans
By Rush Limbaugh I could not wait for my 10 year old son to finish reading this book, so that I could enjoy it too. Rush Revere and the First Patriots is the second book in the series. It is very difficult to believe that these books target kids between the ages of 10 and and 13. The sequel is just as thrilling as the first book and does an excellent job restoring the accuracy to long lost or manipulated American history. Rush Limbaugh has absolutely no political agenda with these books, he just loves his country and its exciting […]

The English Girl: A Novel
By Daniel Silva The English Girl is the latest book from one of my favorite authors, Daniel Silva. I am a fan of both the author and the main character in his books Gabriel Allon.

You do not need to read his earlier books, in order to enjoy this one. He has carefully provided information for new readers, without annoying those of us who are already die hard fans. It takes a […]
Inferno
By Dan Brown After reading Dan Brown’s last book The Lost Symbol, I was so sure that we had come to the end of the Robert Langdon series. However, his latest offering Inferno has somehow revived my love for the Harvard professor. Although many may consider the conspiracy theories in this book lukewarm, when compared to The Da Vinci Code and Angel & Demons, there is still enough in this new novel to keep you on edge as you read through. I think I should forewarn you though that this book is a little darker than the others. Inferno begins […]
The Great Gatsby
By F. Scott Fitzgerald This book is regarded as one of the great American literature classics of twentieth-century. I read it before in high school, but since they were releasing the new movie with Leonardo Di Caprio I decided to read it again. This time around I think I enjoyed reading it more than back then and it seems like I got a lot more from it. You get to relive the glitz and glamour of the the 1920’s with a whole buffet of scandals, romance any even mystery too. The main story within The Great Gatsby is how Jay […]
