Forgive Me, Leonard Peacock: Week #4

This week I read Forgive Me, Leonard Peacock by Matthew Quick. To start off with I am going to say this was a really sad book. It showed how depressed this kid was. It is about a boy named Leonard Peacock and he is gay so he is always made fun of or been awkward around people. Finally he has had enough and decides he should kill himself. Before he kills himself though he has five missions. He has to deliver presents to four different people then kill his former best friend then himself. This book goes through flashbacks of his life and then it goes back to the present and him giving his four gifts. One to a neighbor, then another to one of his teachers, then another to a musician and finally to a girl. Once he finishes that he is going to take a gun and kill his former best friend and then himself. This is a really mature and sad but really good book. It explains the struggles and hardship this boy has been through. It deals with a lot of very tough and controversial topics. It is almost a drama/adventure book. If you feel like you are ready to take on a really tough hard book then you will love this book. It is a super easy/quick read. It is only 288 pages. I loved this book, it would definitely go on my top five favorite books ever. Overall great book really suggest it.

My book next week is The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern. 

To His Last Man: Book Week 3

To His Last Man by Jeff Sharra is the book I read this week. This is a historically based war novel, it is 642 pages and is a reasonably easy read even though at points is gets a little boring. This book is about WWI. It starts with switching off chapters between talking about a american ace and a german ace. Then the focus of the book shifts after a bit and goes to the rest of the American military coming into the war. It's main focus is then on General Pershing (the head general of the american amy), but it also shifts to men in the military and there different perspectives. This book was not my favorite of Jeff Sharra's. It got very dry at some points and boring. There are some great battles and descriptions still but it was a little too boring for me. I prefer a lot of action in books, so if anyone has and books they think I might like definitely leave it in the comments and I will check it out. I would suggest this book for anyone who just wants a lot of history but go into reading it knowing there is not as might action as one might expect from a war novel. The book I am reading next week is Forgive Me Leonard Peacock by Matthew Quick.

Week 1 Book Insurgent

This week I read Insurgent by Veronica Roth. Insurgent is the sequel to the book Divergent. For a sequel I thought this was a really great book. It really intrigues you and gets you really sucked into it. It is extremely well written. It paints a picture in your mind as you read and it seems as if you are standing right there while the whole thing happens. I will warn you that at the end there is a huge cliff hanger so you might want to wait to read this series until the third book comes out then it is easy to blow through them all without having to wait. This book is in the action/adventure genre I would say. If you are a fan of the Hunger Games, as I am, then you will like this book most likely a lot more. This book is about a sixteen year old girl who finds herself in the middle of a mind control war. The only thing is she is one of the few who can't be mind controlled and therefore they are fighting the war over them. Some people want to kill them all, while others want to save them. The book is full of adventures, fighting, some spies, and a lot of guns. This is a easy read especially because it is a book you can't set down. Overall this is a great book that I strongly suggest.
My TBR List is:

• To His Last Man
• The Steel Wave
• No Less Than Victory
• The Final Storm
• Gone For Soldiers
• Fahrenheit 451
• See You At Harry's
• Elanor and Park
• The Client
• Night Circus
• Leonard Peacock

And next week I plan to read To His Last Man.

JP's Introduction

Hi my name is JP. As a reader I am a fan of any adventure, action or historically based novels. I also love topics ranging from mythology to war to survival. I much prefer fiction over non-ficition but there are some non-fiction books I am a big fan of. My top three favorite boos or series are probably Watership Down by Richard Adams, Black Ships Before Troy by Rosemary Sutcliff and a series of war novels by Jeff Sharra. Watership Down is my all time favorite book. It is a great action and adventure story about bunnies and getting through rough times. It is almost 500 pages but the read goes by really quickly. Black Ships Before Troy is a great book for anyone who loves mythology, war or just a good story. It is an action filled book with heroes, mischief and deception. Jeff Sharra is a great author who has written multiple war novel series. These books are chalk full of of strategies and history but it is written in a fun and intriguing way. One of my favorite series he has written is about WWII. It is a four book series. The first book is about Rommel, Montgomery and the North African campaign. The second one is about Bradley, Montgomery, D-day and Normandy. The third book is about The fall of Hitlers Eagle nest and working their way there. Then finally the last book is about the war in the Pacific and Pearl Harbor. Any one who is a fan of war novel I strongly suggest them. They are super well written and told from all perspectives of soldiers and officers on both sides. As you can see I am a huge fan of adventure action and history.
