I just finished reading "The Saboteur" by Andrew Gross and I found it a very exciting read. I have read other books authored by Andrew Gross and this is his 16th book. He started by co-authoring books with James Patterson and excelled so he started writing his own books and I highly recommend Andrew Gross. @Mrlefty0706

I just finished reading Barracuda. The sefuel to Free Fish Friday starring Slacker Mills. My rating has to be 5/5. It was exciting to read . Very description a little heart wrenching there and there and a slow but steady consistent finish. Short chapters and straight forward but I would have preferred :D less narrating this time and more dialogues.

Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess. Really interesting and you get used to to the language used easily if you've seen the film.

The last book I just finished reading was "The Bootlegger" by Clive Cussler. The book is one of the Isaac Bell series and it is definitely a 5 out of 5-star book. I highly recommend all of the Isaac Bell books by Clive Cussler. @Mrlefty0706

"The Unfakeable Code" by Toni J. Selimi, I'd give it a 3/5. It's a good motivational book but sometimes it's overly optimistic.

I´ve recently finished Serpent and the Wings of NIght. I was disappointed, it felt like a boring copy of other successful books. Wasn´t worth the hype. I would rate it like 2 out of 5 stars.

I know I am late on this one but its Beyond the Golden Door by Ali Master. The humour is impeccable because he is telling a sombre story with a totally different tone and that's art. A 5/5 rating from me.His experiences travelling his 30 hour journey from Karachi to Copenhagen is risk taking and outrageous.

The last book I read was "All for the Love of Dog" and I found the entire book a joy to read. Ilona's love for dogs is wonderful and I enjoyed the journal she kept for every dog she met, purchased or adopted. I rate this book 5 out of 5-stars.

Last book that I read was "Enlightenment for The Things That really Matter" by Mark Gumbrell and my rating for this book is 5 out of 5 star for it's richness of relevant knowledge, perception of our consciousness, death and the afterlife and how we see ourselves in our present society.

The last book I have read was called “A thousand Splendid Suns” by Khaled Hosseini and I must say, even though it’s only a few chapters in, I could already feel my heart breaking.

The last book I read was "The Three Card Trick" by Charles Townsend and while the book was probably written for young adults, I found the book an exciting and interesting read for adults. I rate it 5 out of 5-stars. @Mrlefty0706

Neither Safe Nor Effective, 2nd Edition: The Evidence Against the COVID Vaccines (English Edition). That’s a very enlightening book with a multitude of sources. I applaud the author for her courage. It deserves a perfect score.

Deadly Waters by Randy Miller, 4/5

Ohh it's a great piece of research cum novel. It surely fills huge gap that exist in literature when agent orange comes as topic.

Ghost Camp is one of the OG Goosebumps books that didn't get an episode on the show. I liked it pretty much right away. The suspense is really well done, the story is unique for a ghost story, and it was nice to see siblings (two brothers in this case) that weren't fighting all the time. I would definitely recommend it. 9/10
