This was an interesting book about how a 2-D square sees the world. It had some odd things happen like Demonic laughter, and other odd things. 
Basically it goes to 0-D, 1-D, and 3-D, and sees different things there as his sphere guide takes him around those dimensions.
I would recommend the book to people that like sci-fi books

About the author: 
Edwin Abbott Abbott (December 20, 1838 - 1926), English schoolmaster and theologian, is best known as the author of the mathematical satire Flatland (1884).
He was educated at the City of London School and at St John's College, Cambridge, where he took the highest honours in classics, mathematics and theology, and became fellow of his college. In 1862 he took orders. After holding masterships at King Edward's School, Birmingham, and at Clifton College, he succeeded G. F. Mortimer as headmaster of the City of London School in 1865 at the early age of twenty-six. He was Hulsean lecturer in 1876.
He retired in 1889, and devoted himself to literary and theological pursuits. Dr. Abbott's liberal inclinations in theology were prominent both in his educational views and in his books. His Shakespearian Grammar (1870) is a permanent contribution to English philology. In 1885 he published a life of Francis Bacon. His theological writings include three anonymously published religious romances - Philochristus (1878), Onesimus (1882), and Sitanus (1906).
More weighty contributions are the anonymous theological discussion The Kernel and the Husk (1886), Philomythus (1891), his book The Anglican Career of Cardinal Newman (1892), and his article "The Gospels" in the ninth edition of the Encyclopædia Britannica, embodying a critical view which caused considerable stir in the English theological world. He also wrote St Thomas of Canterbury, his Death and Miracles (1898), Johannine Vocabulary (1905), Johannine Grammar (1906). Flatland was published in 1884.
His brother, Evelyn Abbott (1843 - 1901), was a well-known tutor of Balliol College, Oxford, and author of a scholarly history of Greece

Book Review of Frost Wolf : Wolves of the Beyond #4

Frost Wolf : Wolves of the Beyond #4 by Kathryn Lasky

 4 Stars out of 5 Stars
I like this book because Faolan gains a new power. Although this book would have been better if it didn't follow the same plot as the other books in the series, which is something bad happens, someone is wrongfully blamed, then the one responsible is found.    
I would recommend the book to people that like wolf adventure stories

Book Review of Amulet Dragonblade

Amulet Dragonblade by Nancy Lee Parish
$0.99
3 Stars out of 5 Stars
If it wasn't for the mild swearing, and a woman's robe falling off in the moonlight, I might have liked this e-book. On the other hand some things that were interesting about Amulet was that one part made me think of what the wicked witch of the west said to Dorthy in the Wizard of Oz.  Talking dogs and dragons that come from amulets, what else is there to love. This book has over 150 chapters in it. They were so short that when it changed the point of view, it became confusing. People are gullible to a point where the deaths of their friends could have been prevented if they were smarter.  
I would recommend the book to people that enjoy books with dragons in them

About the author :

Nancy began her writing career a bit differently than most. The first fifty two chapters of Amulet (DragonBlade Series) were written in a tent. Some were written in the front seat of a pick-up truck in the short spurts of the two hour battery life of her laptop.
Following some financial setbacks beyond their control, and the sudden death of her children's father, Nancy, her husband, and two special needs adult children found themselves without a place to live - for nearly nine months. It was not all doom and gloom, however. One of the fond memories of that time was being adopted by a family of geese. There were three families of geese in the area, and one of these families decided it was their obligation to protect Nancy and her family. The Canada Goose family would not allow any other geese near them, and would chase any bread-seekers away.
Nancy now lives nearly three thousand miles away from there - in a house - with her family. Writing Amulet was definitely a pivotal point that changed their lives, and in many ways the story reflects their own journey.
Nancy is the author of The DragonBlade Series, a different kind of Fantasy/Adventure. She is currently working on Book Three of the DragonBlade Series, as well as having several other projects in the works.

$8.99 

5 Stars out of 5 Stars
This is the 1st book of a great series, Harry was about 11 when things changed for the better for him, he left his abusive family with the help of a half-giant to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft And Wizardry. Then makes lifelong friends, and enemies, and battles he who must not be named. Some of the parts I liked best were Fuffy the 3 headed dog, and the dragon Hagrid kept in his hut. 

I would recommend the book to people(Muggles) that like magical action stories
