The Diary of Adam and Eve is like the book “Men are from Mars Women are from Venus”. Adam and Eve are polar opposites with a complete misconception of what the other thinks of them (Eve especially). Adam would prefer to be left in peace where as Eve has gone all Snow White with the […]
To better understand these motives Jon Krakauer, the author flip-flops between the heinous, unbelievable actions of 1984 and the creation of the Mormon religion and its prophet, Joseph Smith. Discovering the golden plates and the start of the religion was very interesting but the disturbing subject of polygamy and how Fundamentalists behave then and now […]
I first read the Little House books when I was seven and became a main staple on my bookshelf until I was thirteen,reading them (particularly this one) from cover to cover until they had to be thrown away; but I could recite them from heart anyway… In elementary school we practiced in the D.E.A.R.

Anyway, why wouldn’t Reeve just tell Janie this and save them all the trouble. I know why, because a) Janie wouldn’t listen and b) […]
The Voice on the Radio could have come off like a rehash of The Face on the Milk Carton, but it didn’t, I was riveted once again. Janie’s story was told in a new refreshing voice as fascinating as it was the first time. Although, I had a hard time getting past what a prick […]
The Springs, are decent people who had the worst luck fall upon them, obviously after hearing their daughter is alive and well welcome her back with open arms. Unfortunately, Janie is unwilling to accept these changes and chooses to live in her seemingly perfect past. Most of the story revolves around Janie’s adjustment, and whenever […]
