There are good points enticing me to read Sticks in the Clouds. I like that it is a product of a lot of research and the plot was well executed. I'll see how Matt solves his problems especially in the 'romance department'. Thanks for the captivating review.

Latest Review: We are Voulhire: A New Arrival under Great Skies by Matthew Tysz

Post by Ebubechinwaogazie »

This book is filled with twists (friendship, career, history, romance, Faith and perseverance), It enhanced my enjoyment of it. One should be able to move unto the next, if the former appears to be a hitch. Matt Lavery left his new job to a better one because of the hurdles he passed through. Congrats on being the book of the day.

The book seems entertaining and educative at the same time especially due to narration of historical events. This is definitely not my kind of book. Great review!

Latest Review: Proverbs 4:7 by Gaidi

Post by Oyedeji Okikioluwa »

This is a book to read for me. The life of Matt is that of "see evil and walk away from it." We found ourselves in situations today where our innocence is exploited, and evil continue to prevail. Nice review.

Matt Lavery's story had many stages that I'd love to read about, especially his time with the first airline. What was his boss really involved in that had him smuggling bullets?

There's a lot happening in this story, but I'm most interested in his time with Karen and Olga and how they helped shape him. I also like the infusion of Cuban culture; I've never read anything from that culture before.

While I love historical fictions, I am not sure how much the premise of this particular story will interest me. I am keeping this book for later. Thanks for the in depth review, though!

Latest Review: Beating Death (resubmission) by Sean O’Banion

Post by Effie Cherotich »

This book covers various themes that may attract a wide audience. With this, I bear reference to the aviation theme, and then the historical theme as well as the theme of romance.
