Review of ELF KILLERS


 

ELF KILLERS

 

Carol Marrs Phipps and Tom Phipps

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

Firstly, my friends, the reader must read the glossary to get a rhythm of Trollish language. Otherwise, you may be irritated by what many Trolls are saying.

Then delve into this fast pace fantasy of two imaginary being types. The Elves are compassionate, intelligent beings, and the Trolls, are brutish war-loving individuals who enjoy eating elves.

The appearance of being true or accurate of these beings comes through in Phipps' writing. The reader will laugh at the antics of the Trolls and will feel the trauma of the Elves.

Elf Killers is a multi-level composition of good versus evil—unfortunately, that theme has been used to death in novels. However, Carol and Tom Phipps' twist engages the reader's curiosity, leaving them wanting more.

That is why I have read three of their novels.

Review of EARTHBOUND

EARTHBOUND

Chronicles of the Maca - Book 1


MARI COLLIER

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 


ALIEN meets Cowboy in the 1850s; what could go wrong. Mac, the alien's new name, intermingles with Texians.

He and his partner go from rags to riches buying land near Mac's spaceship that he wants to operate but needs an education on earth to do so. This endeavor leads our man from another world through conflicts of the wild west and the USA Civil War.

Because of his alien being, Mac is different than most men and has secrets that he only allows his loved ones to know about - his spaceship and its contents. Finally, after a long relationship, his partner and his wife are allowed entry.

The three survive many traumas leading to other conflicts that lead the reader into Book 2 of this chronicle. Many questions Mac and his earthly friends are left open.

I didn't think I would like this novel, but it was so well-written I overlooked the fictional theme. I read little of the Cowboy or Sci-Fi genres. However, Ms. Collier’s writing may have convinced me to read more of them.

Review of THE STRANGE DEATH OF EUROPE


 

THE STRANGE DEATH OF EUROPE

 

DOUGLAS MURRAY

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

'When you allow unvetted mass immigration into your country, the world's problems become your problems.' is my takeaway from this well-researched book on how the globalist in Berlin and Brussels (EU) destroyed nation-states in western Europe.  England, France, Italy, Germany, Sweden are the center countries of Murray’s arguments that have collapsed in identity, socially, demographically, and economically.

For me, this is an indictment of failed politicians (Globalists) who feel they know best for other countries. They do not consider the clashes of cultures, Islam vs. Christianity psychologically. The integration of humanity will take of that.

Mr. Murray makes excellent points on what I just mentioned and more, leaving the reader with PERHAPS... Maybe profoundly ingrained beliefs, over centuries, will change.

The arguments, pros, and cons about religion, mass migration, refugees, and national pride are profound. So, as I, the reader, will stop, take notes, think, and want to know where the world is heading.

Born in the USA, I am concerned with its new unvetted mass migration and refugees from Afghanistan arriving daily. If you are also, you should read this book.

Review of ALL OF ME

ALL of ME

The Bridesmaid Club

LEEANNA MORGAN


Review by Author Roy Murry

 




Tess, an ex-model, owns a small-town cafe after a traumatic event that still possesses her. Logan, a veteran war reporter, moves to the town and, for a year, is smitten by her.

She does not like reporters. At this point, the educated reader knows they'll get together. Each has its horror stories that collide in the relationship that lead to confrontations.

Romance lovers will love the characters, but the storyline has too many backstory gaps, which they will overlook. However, these genre lovers will enjoy the tit for tat of Tess and Logan's relationship and forgive the holes in the story.

Because ALL OF ME is well-written with interesting characters, I recommend it to all Romance Lovers, using Kindle, to read the series. All others beware.

Review of SAGE ADVICE

SAGE ADVICE

Lives and Maxims of Some 

of History's Wisest People

 

RICHARD K. BORDEN

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

SAGE ADVICE is a collection of thoughts for the INQUISITIVE MIND. These thoughts or maxims make your mind go into a tailspin.

From Ptah-Hotep of Egypt to Gandhi, eighteen of Borden's wisest people’s short biographies and advice in thoughtful phrases are well organized. Fortunately, the book layout divides the bio from the maxims giving the reader the luxury of not being confused or trying to know who said what.

With each biography, the reader will see the evolution in thoughts over the thousands of human existences. The maxims, if read slowly, quietly, and separately, will lead the reader to self-evaluation – always a good thing.

You don't need to be a philosophy or a psychologist to read SAGE ADVISE. However, you should be a thoughtful person with an Inquisitive Mind a la Murry's Readers Are Leaders.

A well-written collection.

Review of The POWER of Your Subconscious Mind



The POWER of Your Subconscious Mind

 

JOSEPH MURPHY


Review by Author Roy Murry

 

I started reading this book in 2008 and pick it up every day to remind me that life goes on and I can change how I see it. Murphy's book did change my life; I will not go into details of how.

But this book, combined with ‘How to Be Idle,’ can do that for you.

See review: https://bit.ly/2UVt81K.

It would take all day for me to explain what I mean. YOU NEED TO READ THESE BOOKS.

Murphy goes into detail on how our human minds work and how we use them. What we read, think, and profess goes into our subconscious mind and stays there.

You can change what goes in your mind by following proven methods given within. Do it today before it’s too late.

A computer maximum is "Garbage in; Garbage Out," and according to this book, the same is for your subconscious mind. So, therefore, I agree with Joseph Murphy 100%.

That is why I recommend this brilliant book.

Review of Dog Man


 

DOGMAN #1

 

Dav Pilkey

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 


It is a fun book with illustrations of Dog Man and his nemesis Petey, a cat, of course. Who else would irritate a dog?

Petey is the mastermind of most of the city's crimes. Dog Man is a policeman who goes after the criminal of somewhat stupid crimes.

One crime stands out for me. Petey deletes all the WORDS of the world. It is incredible and hilarious how Dog Man solves the crime. I am happy to say Dog Man promotes reading in the adventure.

The reading is simple, and the illustrations are funny. Dog Man series is a good one for your nine to twelve-year-old.

I read it on my kindle, black and white. But, my ten-year-old grandson has a book, which is colorful, and he loves it. So, I will see how many he has in the ten-book series and buy him the rest.

 Purchase the series or just this book: https://amzn.to/2TKfDSh
