Wild Ducks Flying Backward

Good book with one caveat
I really enjoyed this book and thought the character of Skye was very fleshed out and real. However, I was a little disappointed by the character of Jessica, a goth girl who self-mutilates. I thought Jessica was a fascinating character, but I took issue with the fact ...
Backwards (Red Dwarf)
Rob Grant

A Thrilling End
If there is a problem with Backwards, it's that the book doesn't have a lot of heart. But it definitely has an adrenal gland. Rob Grant's book shoots Lister, Rimmer, the Cat and Kryten on an adventure through time, space, death, and reality that never, ever lets up. ...

A Messenger from God
I am thankful for Nanci Danison's insightful recall of her personal NDE which resonated deeply within me; and, as I read her account, I had the sense I was hearing truth spoken, finally! I was recently privileged to hear Ms. Danison speak in person and found her ...

Classic Read
I love the cover of this book. Sturdy hard cover with red fabric binding. My 5 1/2 year old enjoyed reading it but was left looking for more at the end. Overall, it is a good classic read.
