Book Review: Uncle Sam's Plantation

This book was wrote by Star Parker a person who was once involved in the life style she talks about which revolves around the government and how it is making the life of poor people worse. This book was very well researched, it is all sectioned out for easy reading if it interests you enough. She goes into subjects you wouldnt hink would be bad like welfare how it is slowly enabling more people every year. Its causing people to be lazy and feel they don't need work to live they can live off the government. The best part of this book were the stories of real live people she knows and how they are living now or how she has changed their lives for the better. It was a lot to read especialy if goverment terms and lots of talking about one thing bores you this book took a long time to get through I would recommend it to people wanting change in life or just to learn what is happening around you.

Book Review

Let's Do Lunch:
This book was wrote by a man who lost a large amount of weight and he tells his story along with the life changing diet he has created. This seems like a good way to lose weight but its not for anyone, like me I havent tryed this diet and probably wont just because it resricts my favorite foods and it is a lot of eating the same things. Roger has really thought all of this through and this plan seems quite healthy and could be a fast easy way for anyone to drop unwanted weight. I would recommend it to yo yo dieters it seems like a good fix if its all the foods you like.

Book Review: Same Kind Of Different As Me

When I started reading this book I was getting confused it was good but it seemed to jump around a lot. Then I realised it was two men telling their story every other chapter. Its a story of Ron Hall and Denver Moore two completly differnt men brought together by Ron's wife it is one of my favorite books I have read in a while. The book is made even better by it being a true story, it makes things seem even more amazing. I had to keep reminding myself all of this really did happen, Denver being a poor black man living on the streets, and Ron being wealthy and only meeting him by volunteering at a soup kitchen with his wife. Very good book over all it made me think about a lot.

Book Review

A Summer Secret

This book is about an amish girl named Mary Beth, she has four brothers and never gets to have alone time. She sneaks away to an abandoned barn and writes in her journal until she realises there is someone else staying there. Mary Beth and her brother Johnny find the boy living there named Sawyer and he tells them of his rough life. They find a way to help the boy, their parents find out and they find a home for him. This could be a good book for pre-teens maybe it was quite predictable from the beginning you could guess the story but it was a good read.

Book Review

I reviewed the book: I Am Hutterite

This book was great! It starts right from the very first telling about the Hutterite culture, and telling her own life story from the beginning starting with her mother as a child. It may seem hard to follow learning all the names of people she talks about in her book but soon it feels like you are right in the book. I like the fact its a true story so you can feel for the people in the story all the more. Mary-Ann paints a beautiful picture of her life in Fairholme Colony and the life when she leaves, the struggle and the success.

Will the World End in 2012?

I expected this book to be a bunch of boring facts but the author kept it interesting and I really enjoyed it. The stories at the first of each chapter really keep you interested and helps you understand each part of the theories from the beginning. Anyone wondering about the world ending should read this it explains all the ways predicted without telling you what will happen it lets you decide.
