Life and Other Near-Death Experiences - Book Review

4.0 out of 5 stars No miracles or martyrs, November 1, 2015
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Life and Other Near-Death Experiences (Kindle Edition)
It was my last gasp Kindle First choice, since everything else was unbearable for me. I wasn't sure I'd like it, but for the most part I was pleasantly surprised.

The end dragged on a bit, and if you were looking for either a miracle or martyr you wouldn't have found it here.

The romance is very bland and inevitable, even though it was presented as being all fireworks, but none of those fireworks were reflected in the pages.

I was impressed by the presentation of the LGBT culture though.

See on Amazon HERE

Yeah, half of everyone in the book is gay, and that's a small part of the inciting incident that sets this whole train in motion. Libby is dying and her husband doesn't love her like she thought he did. She runs to Puerto Rico, falls in love with a very passive romp, and decides to live out her last days in bliss. Or at least she tries. There is no end though, like I said, and if you want a tidy or morose ending, you will be disappointed.

Review: The 10 Biggest #Workout Mistakes

The 10 Biggest Workout Mistakes: Are one of these mistakes slowing your progress? by Dr. Len Lopez My rating: 3 of 5 stars So/So. Average. 3. yep. If you took a handful of bullet points, wrapped them in repetitive catch-phrases, and added in some links to your other projects, you'd have this book. Would it be at all helpful to anyone? Yes, if you are needing to do actual aerobic exercise and need to be smacked in the face with it over and over and over until it works finally - this might be the book that does that. If you're trying to get in shape or achieve some specific level of fitness, then no. View all my reviews

Eternal Redemption - Review [#horror #fantasy]

Eternal Redemption by Paul A. Wunderlich My rating: 2 of 5 stars Rating this: under the little star at position 2nd from the left, there is a little balloon that pops up "It was OK" That's about it. In general, the tone and language seem like a fervent attempt to imitate high fantasy. There are a series of editing errors that cause some confusion. It's tough to write a protagonist who drifts in and out of their own head. Time slips around in circles. An entire world of minions is disposable. When you're sitting at the top of an Everest sized pile of skulls, what's the next big challenge? Oh, yeah, trick the master trickster. Well, you get exactly what you ask for. With a little syrup on the side. View all my reviews

Review: How to Outline a Nonfiction Book: [#writing]

How to Outline a Nonfiction Book: How to Write an Outline That Will Make Writing Your Nonfiction Book a Breeze by Dean R. Giles My rating: 3 of 5 stars If you've never written a book of any sort. If you've never written a non-fiction book. If you're totally clueless. If you need to copy/paste your way to completing a non-fiction book. There might be something here for you. I have a dozen non-fiction books already published. I have had a couple on best-seller lists. That being said just to explain my possibly unique position, not to brag, I got not much out of this. You on the other hand might find the perfect tool to use to achieve your perfect non-fiction book. It's totally worth an hour to check it out and discover for yourself. View all my reviews
