The Rescue

The Rescue
By Nicholas Sparks

Nicholas Sparks again, you say? Yep, I grabbed another one. And this one wasn’t quite as depressing, he must be mellowing! I was truly surprised by the ending. Well, not the literal ending, but the ending of the mystery of Taylor’s dad. I don’t have much to say about this book, so I’ll just give it a score:
7/10

12 Views of Manet's Bar

12 Views of Manet's Bar
By Bradford R. Collins

A picture of the Bar would have been nice. Instead, we get a couple hundred pages of people talking about an image that the reader doesn’t get to see in it’s entirety unless they (like me) go pull out an old textbook. Some of the ideas posed were good, but I’m not rating each individual section. The book overall, I give a
7/10

The Omega Code

The Omega Code
By Paul Crouch

Ugh. Why did I read another one? You'd think the Left Behind series would be enough for me, but no! I have to say that I like the Left Behind series, although the writing leaves a bit to be desired. This book was so short that there wasn’t much character development and the twists and turns came out of nowhere. There was no foreshadowing that you could later think “oh! I should have known!” Instead, things just happened and I would blink and say “huh?”
5/10

Least Likely Bride

Least Likely Bride
By Jane Feather

Ugh. I liked the character Olivia. And her friends were very funny! I liked her playing chess with her pirate, that was very funny also. But the ending sucked... *spoiler alert* You're really telling me that in that time period, her father lets her sail off, unmarried, when he knows she's sleeping with the pirate? I don't think so!! Stretches believability too far for me. Oh, she was strong-willed. Blah blah blah, she was a girl and as such she was under her fathers authority.
5/10
