Book Review of The Long Way Home

Andrew Klavan's The Long Way Home is the second book in The Homelander series. It continues from the first book where Charlie West wakes up one day to find he had forgotten everything about his life in the previous year. And he finds himself being framed and convicted of his friend Alex murder.

The book tells the story of how Charlie is on the run from both the cops and the terrorist group - the homelanders. He is desperate to prove that he did not kill his friend and set out to do that with the help of his friends. In this second book, we are taken through a couple of flashbacks and revelation with lots of twists and thrills thrown in.

As a thriller, this book is not as gripping as I expected it to be but was good enough to sustain my attention throughout. A good thing about is that it is a breeze to read and has enough twists and turns to make it some kind of a page-turner. It might not be the best thriller I have read but what it managed to do is roused my curiosity for the third and last book of the series - and I will surely buy it when it comes out in November 2010.

Review of NKJV Greatest Stories of the Bible

NKJV Greatest Stories of the Bible is a collection of 250 stories from the Bible carefully selected, which can be a very handy reference book for the Bible. It comes in a beautifully designed cover and has a "classic" feel to it.

All the stories from the old and new testament concentrate on providing an easier way to understand the most important stories of the Bible and in a very concise format. It can be a very good starting point for someone who would love to explore the various teachings of the Bible but is quite intimated by the original version.

I personally liked how the book has been organized in a very easy to navigate and compact format but my only gripe is that it lacks visuals that could have made this book much more interesting. But all-in-all, a very good book for referencing the Bible in a completely new "Light".
