The Meerkat Wars

      It's all very well helping a young meerkat who's been poisoned by a scorpion. But when you've made friends with the whole Duwara tribe of meerkats, and you discover that they're at war with the Utongo, you may find yourself involved in that too, even if you're only a little black-and-white cat. And when you realise that the two tribes are fighting because each one believes it lives under The One True Sun, then you may have to undertake a very dangerous journey to help them see things differently. You may have to go through The Gorge.       

    The writing was amazing and I couldn't stop reading it. Since the book seemed like it was written in European style it was hard to understand some words. I thought the plot was well executed on the back of the book. There were pictures of all the animals that were mentioned other than meerkats and the cat Sheena. In the beginning though Sheena did get lost from her campsite the meerkats gladly took her in and cared for her. I thought that was really kind of them. There were parts that I cheered for one of the characters and that really made the book feel interactive. Overall the book was excellent and I can't wait to read more books in the series.

I recently just figured out there was a dollar book store. It's called the Dollar Book Fair. I have heard it has children's books for $1, paperbacks for $1 and hard backs for $2. It's few cities away from me in Tigard and I really want to check it out. Hopefully soon I'll be able to visit its' wondrous expanse of books. I am so happy because of this. The books, they say are barely used and are popular selling books that everyone would like. So if you're in Tigard, Oregon and you pass its' large store, I think you should check it out. IT LOOKS AWESOME!

Angels in the ER

    
Twenty-five years in the ER could become a résumé for despair, but for bestselling author Dr. Robert D. Lesslie it's a foundation for inspiring stories of everyday "angels"--friends, nurses, doctors, patients, even strangers who offer love, help, and support in the midst of trouble.
"The ER is a difficult and challenging place to be. Yet the same pressures and stresses that make this place so challenging also provide an opportunity to experience some of life's greatest wonders and mysteries." Dr. Lesslie illuminates messages of hope while sharing fast-paced, captivating stories about

• discovering lessons from the ER frontline
• watching everyday miracles unfold
• holding onto faith during tragedy and triumph

Just last year I finished the story filled book Angels in the ER by Robert D. Lesslie.
Each story of the patients he had to deal with consisted of help with God's angels. In his book he said that even though he was a doctor, he believed that God was there in his workplace. At many points the stories were inspiring. But since this book told about medical problems, there were some gross parts too.  I recommend this book for people who don't feel queasy after hearing about the body's many parts. This story gets 4 out of 5 stars because it wasn't exactly what I wanted  in story in the end.-"Keep on reading and don't forget to read!"

The Shack


Mackenzie Allen Phillips's youngest daughter, Missy, has been abducted during a family vacation, and evidence that she may have been brutally murdered is found in an abandoned shack deep in the Oregon wilderness. Four years later, in this midst of his great sadness, Mack receives a suspicious note, apparently from God, inviting him back to that shack for a weekend. Against his better judgment he arrives at the shack on wintry afternoon and walks back into his darkest nightmare. What he finds there will change his life forever.




The Shack was an amazing book. William P. Young, clearly showed how horrible Mack's life was from the beginning to the end. But most of all God was shown clearly through the book. There were parts where I wanted to cry and other times I wanted to jump right into the story. It was well written and I think anyone would love this book. I though do recommend it only for people 13+. The scenes are too graphic for younger readers.  This book I thought deserved 4 out 5 stars. The book was amazing but the ending for me was abrupt and I wanted  to know what happened next.-" Keep reading and don't forget to read!"
