Book Reviews from participants in the Pollinate Your Mind Summer Reading Club
Calling of Emily Evans by Janette Oke: Inspirational. Young lady sticks to her mission in the roughest of times.
Carry the Light by Delia Parr: A very enjoyable read. Parr's characters are (as always) easy to identify with, and just as easy to care about. Their faith based coping is inspirational. I love the lack of foul language and torrid sex scenes.
Judge and Jury by James Patterson: An excellent read. Good vs. evil. Like they say "what goes around comes around". Perfect thriller from start to finish.
What Happened to Lani Garver by Carol Plum-Ucci: This book was utterly fantastic. It not only shows how all people should be treated the same, but shows the true side of teenage bullying. If you are or were a bully this book shows the true pain you could have caused. This is a truly powerful book.
Watchman by Ian Rankin: The Beginning is a little slow moving, I enjoy Miles reference to people as types of Beetles. The plot is very good. The ending surprising and good.
Forgotten Men by Amity Shlaes: A good book on the depression. I was born in that time and this book helped me to understand that time and put it in perspective.
A Bound Man by Shelby Steele: Why we are excited about Obama and why he can't win.
Michigan Bird Watching by Bill Thompson: Comprehensive basic book of identification, habitat, feeding, and nesting of both prevalent and rare species of Michigan birds.
Bourne Betrayal by Eric Van Lustbader: Definitely not Robert Ludlum's Jason.
Until the day you die by Tina Wainscott: I'm not fond of the author Tina Wainscott. Her books all seem to drag until 1/2 way or better. She does have some good thrills/mystery within the book, but not worth a day's read to get to them.
Something on the side by Carl Weber: I thought that this book was interesting. Each woman in this book was plus size and they were exciting in their own unique way. Not too nasty, not too nice. A very good book.
Snowfall at Willow Lake by Susan Wiggs: Very good book first time I read her books. Looking forward to her new book in September.
Dream Giver by Bruce Wilkinson: The Dream Giver contains two pieces to it: a parable and a discussion. It is an easy read written in the same fashion as Spencer Johnson's 'Who moved my cheese'. Wilkinson's discussion is thought provoking and urges each of us to move out of our "comfort zone". A great inspirational read for those looking to challenge themselves with their talents and interests.
