The Red Pyramid
by Rick Riordan
View in Library Catalog
book cover


Rick Riordans "The Red Pyramid" is a very good spin on Egyptian Mythology. Similar to Percy Jackson and the Olympians, this series focuses on two siblings named Carter and Sadie. As we follow their journey through the world with their faithful cat/goddess Bast at their side, we discover that their father and uncle have been taken and they need to rescue him. Their dangerous journey brings them closer to the truth of their family.

1984

This book was enjoyable to read. There was a lot of symbolism in the book, like the chocolate rations and 2+2=5, and it was fun noticing the references to things earlier said. It broke down how government authority (big brother) has the potential of manipulation by taking it to the absolute extreme. This got it's point across, but it also made some parts of the book (like newspeak and the 2 minutes hate) seem out of place and unrealistic to what an actual oligarch would look like.

This is the second book of the Naturals series by Jennifer Lynn Barnes and it is honestly so good. Love the characters of Dean and Cassie and how they interact with the FBI agents and solve the cases together.

I liked the concept but I got pretty tired of the main characters not just saying how they felt. I also wanted to see more of their friendship develop after the vacation. Overall, decent read.

The Women
by Kristin Hannah
View in Library Catalog
book cover


Kristin Hannah takes on a historically close fictional experience of women in wartime with the story of Frankie McGrath. Cheer for her as she learns to love nursing side by side with war heroes who saved lives and comforted the dying. Suffer with her on her return through a difficult reentry but a path to healing and recovery. Kristin Hanna provides a rich list of further reading. A Piece of my Heart by Keith Walker is a treasure trove of the experiences of 26 nurses--true tales. An all time fave is Tim O'Brien's The Things They Carried. As part of a generation that didn't experience a draft but was just younger than one that did, reading the stories gave me a chance to understand better what veterans live through and live with all of their lives.

Trash. I don't recommend. I wish the writing was so much better. This genre is being slowly and torturously brought to the ground.
