Book Review...Witch and Wizard

 

This was book number 14 for the year for me.

It starts off where two teenagers Whit and Wisty are taken in the middle of the night by the New Order. They are tried and condemned for being a witch and wizard which they knew nothing about. They are thrown in jail.

They eventually escape with the help of Whit's girlfriend who has since passed on to the Underworld, but guides them to the safe place inside of a department store where all of the kids who have not been captured are staying.

They form a plan to help the other children escape from the jail which requires them to go back into the prison.

Wisty turns herself into a mouse to gain entry into the jail where she quickly sets herself on fire and sets the fire alarm off which allows the jail doors to open and the children escape.

Whit drives the car for all of the children to get back to the safety of the department store.

All the while this is happening they are both looking for their parents. They don't know if they are alive or dead, but see billboard signs with their pictures posted all over for their capture.

The whole premise is that kids are evil, and should be executed on their 18th birthday. But in the end it is the kids who end up ruling the world.

It was a fair book. It kept the flow, and made me want to keep reading, but my personal preference is to not read books that have children as the main character.

Not a bad book though.

Book review The Cashflow Quadrant Guide To Financial Freedom

This was book number 13 for me for the year. I really liked it as I am always trying to learn things. I believe that you should always keep learning and growing.

My son asked me why I am always trying to learn and do things. Because when you stop learning I believe you start dying. In a sense of the word not literally. You should never stop learning.

I learned about the different types of people for example the E (employee), S (small business), B (big business), and I (investor). I learned what I am, and what I would like to be which is definitely an I.

I also learned that even though you might own your house if you are paying property taxes on it you really don't own it. I had never thought about it that way. If you are making money from that house and it is enough to pay the taxes and still come out ahead whether it is by $1.00 you are still making a profit.

Learning to change your mindset is hard sometimes, but if you are willing to do it and keep learning that is the key.

All in all I would recommend this book. I would give it a 5 out of 5 stars. 

“Even though you may not be good at everything, take time developing what you need to learn and your world will change rapidly. Never run from what you know you need to learn. Face your fears and doubts, and new worlds will open to you.”

Book Review The Inside Ring

This was number 12 for the year for me. I give it 4 out of 5 stars. 

It starts with an assassination attempt on the President. What follows is a series of cover ups within the Government. It was hard to keep track of who was who in a few instances, but it was a good book nonetheless. 

The story takes you to the Okefenokee Swamps where there is a man who controls the town and everyone in it. The main character gets stabbed, shot at, almost becomes gator bait, and that’s just for starters. 

The ending was a shocker. One I hadn’t expected. I won’t give anything away on that. 

All in all it was a good book.
