Chaos (4.0)

An LDS novel. A school teacher (man) comes home after school and finds his apartment trashed. On his bed are drugs. He receives a phone call that tells him an assassin is going to kill him for being a rat. As he hears sirens in the distance, he takes his bike and runs. He has the police looking for him because they think he has killed four policemen. The assassin is following him and wants to kill him. Who has set him up and why? Who can he turn to for help? Oh, what about the girl friend from college? Would she help him? How can he figure out how to get out of this mess? This was another fun book and story. Oh, briefly, chaos theory becomes part of the story too.

Unspoken (4.0)

Another LDS novel. A good story. This is a psychological story. Lots of good things to think about. There is of course a romance. (The actual story is fuzzy in my mind. I know it was good, I just can't remember all the details.)

Do No Harm (4.0)

Another LDS novel. A good story. Bad guys are kidnapping people and performing horrible medical experiments with them. They must be stopped. But the bad guys are well financed and are not afraid to kill. There is romance, of course. A lonely widower and a beautiful nurse (the females are always beautiful) who has been the subject of a medical experiment. She survives and escapes her captors. She is awesome.

The Perfect Plan (4.0)

Author: Jeri Gilchrist. A good story. This is an LDS novel. Rich girl is neglected by her father and abused by her Aunt. Her Mother is killed when she is 3. Father interferes in the girls college romance and drives the two apart. Rich girl separates her self from her father and Aunt and finds happiness in landscaping. Oops! She gets arrested for stealing $50,000. She is now poor and requests a court appointed lawyer. A lawyer shows up at the jail and it is her college sweetheart. In the background, there are evil people that want the girl and her father dead. Why? Could it be greed? Will good and love triumph? Of course. It is a novel.

A Matter of Character: Inside the Whitehouse of George W. Bush (1.0)

I only read a few paragraphs here and there in this book. The author traces George W. Bush's conservative development. The author slams the liberals and their elitist attitude. I decided I didn't really want to read much more than a few paragraphs.

Plan of Attack (1.0)

This book is written by Bob Woodward, one of the Washington Post reporters that helped break the Watergate scandal. It is about the Bush Whitehouse and how we ended up attacking Iraq. I did not read the entire book. I read a few of the first chapters and decided I had read enough. It details the differences of opinion of those surrounding Bush and how Bush made decisions.

The Ezekiel Option (4.0)

This is a last days novel about the gathering of the forces of Gog against the nation of Israel. It is based on Ezekiel 38 and 39. Some interesting ideas, but be aware that it is written by a man that believes in the "rapture" and so forth. Even so, it is interesting to contemplate what will cause the forces of Gog to come against Israel. Also, be aware that the LDS Church stand on who "Gog" might be is that we don't have a stand. We do not want to cause contention, so our leaders do not identify "Gog". There is much speculation and devisive commentary on the internet about "Gog".
