The Book Blog

by S. A. Bodeen

This book is one of the Texas Lonestars.  I bought it last spring, but did not get around to reading it until school was starting this year.  If you think being the kid of a billionaire would be really awesome, think again.  What if your billionaire dad was really psycho, but you didn’t realize it until you discover what he has done for your protection is really some very sick experiment?  I hope I haven’t given too much of the book away, but this book has the potential to creep you out.  Since I like this kind of creeping-out in a story, I really liked this book.  The story moved quickly, keeping me engaged throughout.  What really appealed to me was the main character learning who he could and could not trust and what to do about his discoveries.  Bizarre circumstances (billionaire dad and living in an underground compound), but very real problems (who do I trust and when do I take a stand) we all confront on the journey to maturity make this a good, fairly quick read.

The purpose of this blog is to share and discuss books.  As I read, and I don’t have as much time as I would like, I will post comments, thoughts and reactions to the different books I read.  I will admit I prefer fantasy and science fiction over other genres, but I will do my best to read a wide variety of books.  Your comments are welcome, and I encourage you to  share your thoughts even if they differ from mine.  I will attempt to begin with comments about books I have read since the beginning of the 2009-2010 school year, but not tonight.  It is past my bedtime.
