A book for every retail associate!

I could not stop laughing or connecting with this book.
When I ordered this book I did think that it was a full length book but it is actually a book of guided quotes that follow a story.
Besides the quotes the pictures are beautiful and vivid jumping off the page. 
With every guided quote that hit home I easily thought of a situation that it could have been used. 
I highly recommend this book to just have at home that you can flip through (takes only about a minute to read) after a long day or have at your desk after a long morning.

Updated Shakespeare



I should preference this by saying that I have not read The Merchant of Venice before reading this book so I went in with open eyes. 
Though not a book I would normally read I did get pulled into the characters. I would recommend this book for all those Shakspear lovers out there who just want an old tale to twist a bit.

Review of gut splitting hilarity



I didn't get a chance to read her first one but if it's anything like this I'll be buying it very soon! 
She takes a simple life of book and creates a whirlwind of emotions that make you laugh out loud at every turn of the page. 
No matter who you are you can easily see yourself somewhere along the pages. 
Highly recommended

Even though the book came in with the cover smashed (which drives me insane) I got over it as soon as I started reading. 
5 out of 5 stars

A walk in the woods

This is one of those books that I actually watched the movie first & I have to say I don't mind the changes that were made. 
This is not normally a book that I read but I found myself unable to put it down. I also have to say I found that hiking the AT may not be for me. 

I would recommend this book even if you are not into hiking there are a lot of facts about the trail & environmental issues that you would find interesting! 
4 out of 5 stars

5 in 5 for every season review

I don't watch the chew too often so I had to be told 5 in 5 was actually a segment on the show but I do love Michael Symon and the first thing I noticed was that it was relatively easy ingredients. 
This book will be different for my reviewing. I am doing a general one now then each season I will update it so stay tuned!

The Fold- Peter Clines

I have to admit that I was in a rush when I chose this book for my next review. With a quick skim of the description it sounded like something I would enjoy and it did not disappoint. 
It's about interdimensional travel that will quickly make you think of Stargate. Obviously the author thought so too as he makes a reference to it in chapter 2 I believe stating how the lead on the project hated the reference. As I continued to read I viewed it as the movies Stargate and The One put together. 
The story has every Sci-Fi thing you would expect from something called The Fold. Dimensional travel, Star Trek references, bug people, dragon & even men in black types. All things a true sci-fi'er wants & needs is delivered. 
Mike is a genius with the IQ of 180 who refuses to follow the stereotypical type for  a profession instead choosing to teach high school English. His name Mike is actually a nickname for Mycroft. Mycroft Holmes in literature was the older & smarter brother of Sherlock but most day he wasted his talents unlike Sherlock who was all about the show. 
Add to it that Mike also has a photographic memory that his "ants" bring out for him when he needs it. 
Reggie is one of Mike's oldest friends & has been trying for almost two decades to recruit him into DARPA. 
Finally he is tricked into taking this assignment that involves something called the Albuquerque Door that let's a traveler be somewhere within seconds. 
The people on the project need more funding but refuse to show any findings to the board so Reggie sends in Mike to report. The people are full of secrets & view Mike as the enemy with his photographic memory refusing to tell him anything about how the made the door work. 
Soon Mike sees some of the travelers come back slightly different & sets out to find out the secrets they are hidding. 
Ultimately the book deals with what happens when you mess with things you don't understand & the ego's that go along with it. 
I give it 4/5 stars.
