Book review of Wool

Wool - Part One by Hugh Howey

Book price free
3 Stars out of 5 Stars
This was a boring short Dystopian story. It's about this cop who was wearing a Oxygen suit, as he goes to a place without Oxygen. It breaks, and he dies. The story itself was somewhat confusing, and didn't flow that well for me.   
I would recommend the book to people that like short, confusing Dystopian stories 
read from 3/23-24/14
Date when  I got the book : 2/4/13
Length of book :49 pages

Where book can be found - Amazon

Book review of Sword Bearer

Sword Bearer (Return of the Dragons) by Teddy Jacobs

Book price :
3 Stars out of 5 Stars
This was a somewhat interesting read for me. It has to do with Anders who was learning magic, then something odd happens, and then he has to get away from the dark lord's minions while Anders is haunted in his dreams by the dark lord. Some parts are confusing, like there was this one person who could help him with a problem, or send him to someone who could help him better. After he tell the person his problem, he gets sent away without knowing the way to the better person that could help him. He also has a faerie sword, it held back information back, as Anders didn't ask her and some one died because of it. 
I would recommend the book to people that like books about magic

Book review of Lord of the Flies

Lord of the Flies by 

3 Stars out of 5 Stars
This was an interesting read about being stranded on a deserted island. It was exactly what I've heard about it, that it's about a bunch of boys on a deserted island that fall to anarchy. It's all down hill from the start from the way everyone treats each other. One of the oddest parts was when Simon met the Lord of the Flies. I gave this 3 stars because of the mild cursing.
I would recommend the book to  people who like books about island survival

Read from February 19 to March 06, 2014
Date when  I checked out  the book :2-18-14
Length of book : 202 pages
