The Second Sun by Chris Stewart

Yet another Chris Stewart book that I can’t get enough of.  The Great and Terrible Series is just so amazing and this book really makes you start thinking about things that could possibly happen in the future.  This particular book is one of my favorites from the series.  It is starting to really bring things into focus from the previous books as well as leave you hanging for what is going to happen in the rest.

Chris Stewart is an amazing author.  The descriptions of everything that happens in the book are so vivid.  He descibes things perfectly.  A lot of research and experience were put into these books and that time was not wasted.  AMAZING!!!!!

Eddie Fantastic by Chris Heimerdinger

I really enjoyed this book as well.  Chris Heimerdinger is a pro with the time variances.  It seems that most of his books have some sort of time shifting element but I really don’t mind.  I liked this book from start to finish.  It was fun to read and Duck was my very favorite character.

That being said, I was not happy with the ending.  He definitely left it open for a second book but he left too many loose ends that needed to be tied up.  The numbers that he was told to memorize didn’t turn into anything.  I really wanted to know what that was.  Although if he ever does write a second one, I’m sure he’ll tie that in but there is no sequel to Eddie Fantastic in the works.

Overall though, the book was good and I would probably recommend it to others and even to my kids as they get older.

The Fourth Nephite by Jeffery Savage

This book was really interesting.  Since it is obvious by the title that it is LDS fiction, I excepted something in the Book of Mormon time period just based on the title.  I had even read the description of the book and thought that it was a time travel type book that would send him back to Book of Mormon times not unlike the Tennis Shoes books by Chris Heimerdinger.

I was pleasantly surprised when it had a completely different time travel than expected.  This author did an excellent job portraying what many LDS teens are thinking and feeling today.  I really liked that he made it easy for someone that age to read.  I also like the whole story.  I really enjoyed this book and would recommend it.  It’s an easy read but a good story.

Chaos by Jeff Downs

This was an interesting book if you like suspense novels.  It wasn’t extremely suspenseful and I kind of wished that it would have had a little more to it.  It seems kind of random although I suppose the title of the book fits that.  They also threw in the LDS fiction story as well.  I think it could have been better.  I like the suspense novels to make you think a little more or have something a little more close to the characters that happened, but like I said before the title fits the story.
