What is the last book you read, and your rating?

[Genesis Haney]

The last book that I read was "Crimeline Hollywood" by Thomas Collins it was a great book that combined comedy suspense and action. I really liked it and rated it 4 out of 5 stars.

The last book I read was Act of Defiance- a Jack Ryan Novel by Andrew’s & Wilson. I love Tom Clancy Jack Ryan and Jack Ryan Jr. novels. They are page turners that keep me on the edge of my seat until the final page.

I just finished Deceptive Calm by Patricia Skipper. I gave is 1 star. I felt it needed serious editing to tighten up the story and remove unnecessary plot line which go nowhere.

Am now reading The Frozen River by Ariel Lawhon. Excellent and engaging story!

The last book I read was Chimeras of Estmer by Heather Marsh. This book is both a very well-written epic fantasy and a real page-turner.
There is also a lot of great humor in this book, and even a bit of curious philosophy. Some of the characters' lines are just brilliant.

“To be” and “to be like” are two different things, my dear.”
“In my opinion, being human means helping people when you can, and not letting anyone do evil things in your presence.”
“But it is wrong to make so many changes at once. People are just like apples. They need their time to ripen for change.”
(In this case, a character called Kemlilin talks about how he wants to abolish some old customs and laws when he becomes the leader of his people. So it's about changes in society.)
“As Her Majesty has said, a good piece of cake is the best remedy for any illness, whether physical or mental.”
“Do you know what makes the difference between rulers and common men and women? It's not their long lineages, or their fancy titles, or even their wealth and lands. They are different because they take great responsibility for other people's lives, and they make hard decisions by weighing the fate of others.”
“You eat, therefore you are.”
(This phrase, spoken by a character called Mirella, seems an obvious parody of Descartes' famous words, i.e. “I think; therefore I am”.)
“A dolphin may look like a fish, but that doesn't prevent it from being a mammal.”
(These words were spoken by Kemlilin in response to another character's suggestion that the villain they were trying to stop looked more like a nagging governess than an actual villain.)
“You will be free when you stop being afraid.”
“You're human when you act human.”
“The dead don’t pay taxes.”

In some cases, this author's humor rises to the true heights of political satire. However, this does not mean that the author is ridiculing a particular political party or someone's political views. Rather, her or his jokes are aimed at people's desire for power at all costs.

And here's my favorite quote.

“He had no good knowledge of any craft, no great ability for science or magic, and was a truly insignificant being. He had a lot of ambition, however. No wonder he chose a political career.”

And of course my rating is 5 out of 5 stars!

The Old Corsair by Michael Destefano.I gave it a rating of 5 out of 5.

The last book I read was "Act of Defiance" a om Clancy novel written by Andrews & Wilson. Tom Clancy has been dead for several years but his novels continue and they are very exciting thrillers starring Jack Ryan or his son Jack Ryan Jr. This book stars Jack Ryan and I thoroughly enjoyed the book and I highly recommend it. It is sad to see several outstanding authors have passed away in the recent five years and they will be missed. I have all of the Tom Clancy books although I have several I have not yet read. I give this book a 5 out of 5-star rating. @Mrlefty0706

The last book I read was the " second class citizen " by Buchi Emecheta, a book filled with a story of an African woman who strives to overcome the challenges and complexities that the society portrays. Buchi is a wonderful author. I will give a rating of 5 out of 5 stars

My Last Book Killing Shore by K.A. Nelson and my rating was 4 stars

[Adrian Bouknight]

I just finished "We'll Never Know" by Matthew Tree. It was a good book, I gave it a 4 out of 5 stars. I had docked it 1 star because some of the sexual content was just a bit too explicit for my comfort zone. And I sincerely have a pretty fair tolerance for that kind of stuff.

Survive! Marooned on Planet Tau Ceti g by Charles P. Graham.
I rated this science and survival fiction 4 out of 5 stars.

[mrlefty0706]

The last book I read was "Hate Monger" by Jean Guerrero. This is a book about the Trump administration and white nationalism. I do not understand how people can support Trump with all of the crimes he has committed and his racist and hateful rants during his rallies. I rate this book 3 out of 4 stars. @Mrlefty0706

I want to talk about the last two because I give them the same rating and although I didn´t think it´s the best product ever, I really enjoyed them. The first one is Annarasumanara: The Sound of Magic, which is a webtoon with a good message about being a "proper adult" (it has some old repetitive devices from 2010 tho). And the second is Legenday by Stephanie Garber from the series Caraval; a very creative worldbuilding and lovable characters but with a kind-of-easy plot. I gave both 3.5 stars. I recommended them as well if you are searching a light reading about magic .

Deaths Door by Paul Finch.
Brilliant book, highly recommend
Rating: 4 out of 4

The last book I read was "The Heist - An Isaac Bell Adventure" by Clive Cussler. Clive was an incredible author that wrote many adventure books, and he will be missed. This is the most recent book in the Isaac Bell Adventure series, and it was an excellent read. The story takes place in 1914 when an aerial attack was attempted on Woodrow Wilson's yacht during a meeting with the Federal Reserve. I give this book a 5 out of 5-star rating. @Mrlefty0706
