Lincoln in the Bardo
Lincoln in the Bardo
George Saunders | 2017 | Fiction & Poetry
10
8.3 (6 Ratings)
Book Rating
Lincoln in the Bardo is an incredible first novel from a master of the short fiction format. The shared narration is reminiscent of a Greek chorus or a conversation, rendered on the page like the script of a play.
Critic- Melissa Ward
Original Score- 5 out of 5

A laugh out loud science fiction adventure
I can't say enough about the first book in the Space Team series. It's a hoot. I really enjoyed the main character and the unexpected adventure he was sucked in to. Space Team is a really fun read if you're looking to unwind with some light-hearted laughter.

Highly recommended

A Brilliant Read
Aside from the romance and the fairly surprising twist this book is a brilliantly written historical fiction based around real life events, the main characters are interesting and the action is fantastically written, this is a book I have read several times and is still very much a page turner for me.

The Tidal Poole (Elizabeth I, #2)

6.0 (1 Ratings)
Book Rating
Not the most plausible series, but it is entertaining and that's why it's called fiction. I did enjoy the first book better, but <i>The Tidal Poole</i> kept me reading and the mystery was well-done. If you're a history buff, better skip it, but if you enjoy reading just for the sake of reading, I recommend the series. :)
3.5 stars

Book Rating
A Christian non-fiction book that uses the life of David to encourage and challenge the reader to conquer the giants in their lives. Author Max Lucado is a master at making the obvious extraordinary. Just what I needed.
