Review of Finding Liberty

FINDING LIBERTY

Regina Puckett

Reviewed by Author Roy Murry

Time in the future, an air balloon operator finds a bundle of joy on his way as a trader while stopping for fuel. The world is sparsely populated which helps him make the decision to bring up this child.

His new parental love grows as the young lady develops. She learns his love and rules that will help her understand the world they live.

The relationships of the few characters are robust and healthy which enhanced the storyline. And, the prose moved along smoothly leading to Liberty's independence which came with a price she didn't care to pay.

A quick story, I enjoyed.

Review of VENT

 VENT

Robert K. Swisher Jr.

Reviewed by Author Roy Murry

I'll give you a penny for your thoughts. No, I won't. But, Mr. Swisher Jr. in his book VENT will ask you questions you'll have to think about before answering or not. It’s up to you.

However, the questions intertwined throughout this simple, enthralling encounter of two men - one in route to the airport after a funeral and the other a well-known local character who speaks his mind. Unlike most meetings, theirs is unusual and funny.

They talked for hours about serious subjects, and not so dangerous ones. While they are conversing, the author asks your opinion about those items that will make you think.

Of course, there is no interaction with Mr. Swisher, but you'll enjoy the book if you come clean with your thoughts. And I believe you will learn something about yourself or not. It’s up to you.

Sometimes I just laughed and moved on. Other times, I stopped and thought.

I found the story enjoyable as presented and my venting along with the two characters was hilarious, compelling, and thought-provoking. I wanted to answer more questions, write my own, or write chapters in the blanks, hoping the men conversed more.

It's a new concept which kept me involved. If you want fun, purchase at Amazon: http://amzn.to/2f9WVNZ

Review of Everyone's Crazy Except You and Me...

Everyone's Crazy Except

You and Me... 

 

Lionel

 

Reviewed by Author Roy Murry

 

 

This book is enjoyable. Well, it depends if the subjects’ matter to you. LOL, Lionel, gotcha. Yes, the snippets of humor and personal banter are hilarious and short, which the reader will enjoy.

After reading a topic or issue stated, one can put the book down, think and mull over the item, read over, laugh again, and then move on because of each length. From explaining essential issues such as 'Hate Crimes' to mundane 'Words Fail Me' and the subject of 'Big Foot,' you will be glued to the page.

This book is fast-paced and informative, whether you are a Conservative or not. Lionel writes about themes we dealt with in an enjoyable time before 2008. After listening to his videos on Youtube.com of the political circus we were living through in 2016, I know he would communicate different motifs today.

I hope he does put to pen and paper this era as he has his past. It would be just as funny or funnier. I cannot wait, Mr. Author.

Review of The Confession

The Confession

John Grisham

Reviewed by Author Roy Murry

To kill or not to kill is the question when it comes to violent crime. "Should the State execute a killer?" is the undercurrent of Grisham's The Confession.

Whether you agree with his philosophy or not Grisham makes a good dramatic case for his position. A man is to make the ultimate sacrifice.

A criminal walks into the office of a minister and confesses to a crime that propels this thriller forward. Deadlines have to be met and are not.

The minister and the confessor cross State's lines, and the country becomes aware of the atrocity about to happen through the efforts of a devoted lawyer. All attempts to resolve the situation is taken with negative results.

Extreme forces come alive that make the situation volatile. Churches are burned on both sides of the conflict to keep a man alive. The result is deadly and not arrived at happily. 

This book will keep you on your toes, and you keep changing the page.

You're Stupid

Me, before going to 5^th Special Force Group, Vietnam, as Operations and Intelligence Specialist in 1969.

I have been dealing with uninformed banter all my life.  

"You are stupid for voting 'None of the above.'

You're voting  Trump." A man said to me at my local bar.

Well, I am not going to give the whole conversation. But the person who called me stupid was and always is a Democrat. He was heavy on the verbiage about the Republican's nominee character but very light on the issues.

I noted that one: The Democrats and the Republicans gave us flawed candidates who were not my fault because I am an Independent voter and could not vote in the primary. He didn't know that fundamental issue - Independents are not allowed to vote in Florida primaries.

Moving on two: I think both of the candidates are flawed and would lead into war, Clinton because of her hawkish and globalist leaning, i.e., opens borders and receiving money from George Soros. The person agreed with me when I said Trump was useless and uninformed. However, he had no idea who Mr. Soros was.

Again, the man didn't know of the issues. His only basis for voting Democrat was that they were for the working man. He could not back it up with fact.

And with many women, most real issues don't matter, only the fact that Trump is a male chauvinist pig warrant attention when they vote for President of the USA.

John Kerry, a Democrat and Secretary of State, another Obama appointee said at his first meeting with the UN, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQxV9ua9jLw

, you have a right to be stupid in the USA. He is an Elitist like his boss and Hilary Clinton if you feel Americans are stupid.

God Bless America and boy do we need it.

END of Rant.

Review - Out of a Dream

Out of a Dream

Sandy Cover Series - Book One.

Rosemary Hines

Reviewed by Author Roy Murry

Faith doesn't come easy. Michelle Baron from Sandy Cove, Oregon, USA is looking for "Self." You may have done that yourself. I did my searching also, but this is not about me.

Michelle's grandparents are devoted Christians; her parents are the individualist, mostly her father - a rock of a man; and she and her newlywed husband have yet to find their way.  Steve, a lawyer, is into the facts of life.

They have moved away from her family who lives in California so that Steve can fill a lucrative position. Twenty-one year old Michelle has time

on her hands, waiting for teaching college to begin.

The plot thickens: She walks into a bookstore and walks out with New Age material; an appoint to learn about herself in group sessions with a man who becomes infatuated with her; Steve discovers the Bible, and her father disappears.

Michelle's marriage, father and family wages war with the realities of their lives and who or what to put their faith. Everyones' mental battles are the centerpiece of the story.

Ms. Hine's characters are well defined, and it will be interesting to see where the family's story goes in Book Two. The novel did not overly profess the Christian faith but left you wondering if that faith is the way.

I enjoyed it with some tears for and screams at Michelle.
