"Captain Corelli's Mandolin" by Louis deBernieres very enjoyable read but in my opinion not quite as good as "Birds Without Wings" but it would still get a 8/10 from me.

Finished Duma Key by Stephen King yesterday and i would rate it 8 out of 10. A slower paced book than usual but the plot is fantastic and it never feels like its plodding. The characters are all very interesting, the story multi-layered and it is quite unnerving in places with a real sense of doom throughout the book. I would highly recommend it.

I was not impressed at all. Much of the book tended to drag, the metaphors used were quite lame, and the ending defied rationality. The beginning of the book promised this would be a story that would "make you believe in God". It failed to deliver on it's promise, at least for me.

I give it 2 out of 10 stars.

The last book I read was The Last Life of Prince Alastor by Alexandra Bracken. It was a nice conclusion and got 3.5/5 start from me. Now I'm reading (or rather listening to A Picture of Murder by T.E. Kinsey, a cosy mystery and exactly what I need right now

My last read was Man Mission by Eytan Uliel. Do yourself a favor and read this book! It will take you on a journey of exploration into other countries and their exotic cuisines, as well as give you a healthy dose of laughter. It also is an important novel on having conversations as men. With mental health problems at an all-time high, this book will encourage you not to waste another minute on being unhappy. I loved this book.

The last book I read wah Justifiable, by Avery Samson.

I gave it a 2.5/5 because I felt it has a weak character development and some plot holes.

The last book I read was Man Mission. It is a hilarious book filled with adventure as four friends meet every year to explore new countries. As their adventures get more daring each year, so do their day-to-day struggles pose challenges. This book is a must-read. It will make you question what we have been conditioned to think is correct on what a "real" man is. It is thought-provoking and leaves you with a greater understanding of what struggles men go through. I rated it 5 out of 5.

Sherlock manages to be as engaging now as he ever was. These 12 original stories show that he was always destined to be a legendary character. Reading how he solves mystery after mystery with his keen intellect inspires oneself to sharpen their own mind.

Just submitted yesterday Adventures of Pop Pop at Grant's Farm by Warren Martin. It was a short, entertaining read. I gave it a perfect score.
