Book review: Branded outlaw

Branded outlaw; by L. Ron Hubbard.

I found it in a bookstore for 2 dollars so I got it. and I read it in a few sittings.

Branded outlaw is your classic western pulp fiction from the 1930's, the cowboys, smoking guns, sherrifs, its quite funny, and a bit cheesy.  I thought it was great.

I just don't want to give the whole book away so I won't say any more.

5 stars

my son yo yo ma review

my son Yo yo ma by Marina Ma.

I like yo yo ma's music! a lot, I hear it on a radio station and its so touching. And when I heard Condi Rice played Panio with him I just had to find a bio about him! so I interlibrary loaned it and waited.

The book is about yo yo ma growing up in Paris France and having the the passion for playing the cello, he started young and kept on playing. he was a young age when he played on concert. He wasn't afried because it was such a large audiance, he was nourvous because he wasn't sure if his cello wouldn't be loud enough.

I liked the pictures a lot. a bio should always have pictures and yo yo wouldn't of been born if it wasn't for his persisting grandma.

I liked it!

Dreams from my father review

I'm not a fan of President Oboma but I heard that this book had rave reviews about it so I got it from my library and read it.

Let me tell you; I have to admit the beginning of the book had me tranqalized, for the writing was soo good! the heart felt words; then it unraveled. its mainly about him talking about how he grew up with his grand parents and his visit to indonesia, his father and where he was when he heard his father had died and his campaining in chicogo. I was hoping to hear how he met his wife michelle.  oh well.

book review miracle in the andes

I found Miracle in the andes in the library when I was browsing the shelves, so after consideration, reading of the reviews and looking it over; I brought it home and spent a quiet Sunday night reading it. ( all of it)

Miracle in the Andes by Nando Parrado;  a true story

Nando and his freinds; a team of rugby and a few other passengers like his mom and his sister Susy where on a plane home, ( they lived in south America) and they crashed in the andes. the pilot, his mother and sister and a few other of his friends where killed. but he survived with a few other of his friends. Its cold, they run out of food and they heard on the radio the search for them has ended; given up. Nando with a cracked scull was determined to get help if it wasn't going to come. 

and thats where I will leave you, you have to read the rest!

I liked it.

book review of young J. Edgar hoover

I found some more books!


its about a japenese Americans first hand that were sent to camps in world war 2.
I always wonder if Japenese hate America for that reason.

the question was thought up because Sierra reviewed this book:

and she witnessed the japenese being sent away ( of what I read in the review)

and I looked around for some first hand books.

and I found a book!



oh yes and a book review!

Young J Edgar by Kenneth D. Ackerman;

at first glance on the library shelves I thought the book cover looked good. though I didn't know who he was or any thing....so I picked it up.

Edgar was the founder of the FBI. in the 1900's when communism tried to creep into America, Edgar and Palmer and the police force did all they could to get the Russians out of America. the book also follows what is was like growing up in his family. Its a book mainly about Edgar hoover and the raids they did on the Russians to defend America.

I liked it. now I know  who made the FBI.
