Book Reviews

Please keep in mind that these reviews represent my personal and therefore very subjective opinion. I don't get paid or endorsed for them and nobody has asked me to review any of these books. They are simply what I choose to buy and read. Take from it what you want, but don't go by my opinion alone, it wouldn't be the first time that my view completely contradicts that of many others! ;-)
