Daimones (Daimones Trilogy, #1)
Content (overall theme, idea and setting) – The author took a familiar theme and added a new twist. I liked that. What I liked – The setting. Most times it felt like I was there.

Marching With Caesar: Civil War
Did you like the way the book ended? Ending was not my favourite, I felt there was something left out. Maybe I need to read the next book and everything will fall in place.

Peake completed extensive research and this does not read like a text book but also does not read like fiction.
What did you think of the cover? I love the reality in the cover. I have thought and talked this over with some over book club members and to me it looks like a painting.
Would you recommend this book? Highly recommend this book. Is it possible to give a book more than 5 stars?

Fighting the Effects of Gravity: A Bittersweet Journey into Middle Life
Describe 2 different settings or locations. The Carribbean of Grenada and Pittsburgh. Both areas are related to the author's life and he relates pieces of life in these destinations. Were you able to connect with the main character and why? Definitely. Because this book is a memoir, it was like he was sitting by you talking.
Did the book description relate to the story? Yes, the author provided a detailed description which gave me an inkling of what I was going to read.
Favourite quote… "Death destroys a man. The idea of death saves him." This book revolves around the observations the author has realised in his mid-life. I assume that death plays on your mind a lot more when you're in your fifties than earlier on in life.
Disclosure - I received a free book from the author. I was not obliged to write a positive review.
