Review

The Audacity of hope by Barack Obama 
I wasn't expecting much but I was interested on what he had to write about it and what it said. so I picked it up at the library

Its pretty much ramblings, of his family, of faith, races. I didn't see where he was talking about hope.

I thought it was really boring and I thought he couldn't write very well.

Review of happy trails


at first glance on Amazon.com, I was thrilled to see a bio of Roy Rogers and Dale Evans. 
author: Roy Rogers, Dale Evans and co authered by Michael and jane Stern
Its the life of Roy Rogers and Dale Evans, how they got to hollywood and became the stars that they where.
Roy Rogers was pretty poor at the start. and how Dale Evans and Roy Rogers met and married.

I was some what disappointed with the book, excepting more. oh well.

review: the family

The Family: The Real Story of the Bush Dynasty

At first glance, I thought it looked very interesting, so I got it from my library.
Auther: Kitty Kelley

It starts at Prescott Bush and to George W. H. Bush to George. W Bush ( the former president of the US)
of what I read, Prescott Bush was pretty scary when he got drunk, the problem went through the Bush family.
when it went to George W. Bush's family, ( his sis's and bro's) it was pretty exitcing to read. because It said what Doro Bush did, Jeb Bush ( John Ellis Bush) that ran for Governor of florida and his other brothers and sisters did.

I would die for you

I would die for you by Brent Higgins, Deanna Higgins
I Would Die for You: One Student's Story of Passion, Service and Faith
The book is about BJ, a student, the youngest in his family who had a real passion for God at a young age.
He went with short term missions to puru. And he was always going to tell any body about Christ. He was only 16, when he got a disease in his lungs. and he died shortly after. the book is like a memoir of him, what he did.

I really liked it. I had a question in my mind of if the youngest child goes into missions because I never read those stories where the youngest kid goes to missions. the book answered my question. it was a really good book!
