YOU CAN DO IT. You’ve heard this advice before. Yes, of course you have. It’s straight out of the self-help bible. But wait. Are you ready to hear it from a guy who’s made so many mistakes he could fill eighteen other books about them? A guy who went to community college for exactly two weeks and earned a degree in nothing? A guy who wore long tights for a marathon?
To be very honest here I had very little expectations for this book, since its a self-help book and I am very skeptical to self-help books written by celebrities since celebrities are very detected from reality as it goes. But after reading this book I gotta say that its actually very good but I’m gonna explain why I mean here throughout this review.
This book isn’t the type of self-help book which well researched, it is more what the tittle of the book says which is a Pep talk if you will. Reading this book feels more like having a conversations rather than reading a self-help book which tries to motivate you. Which made me give this book some extra points.
This book is a very quick read. At the same time it is a fun and good read even they you can tell it isn’t well researched but rather what Kevin Hart have learned throughput his life in the comedy industry and acting industry. So it means that this book doesn’t hav the same professional aspect to it as the majority of self-help books out there which really in my opinion only added more to this book. Since as I said above it makes this book fun to read.
This book does a very good job at motivating you to actually do the hard work and make changes in your life in the areas you aren’t satisfied with in your life. Which really a lot of self-help books Ive read in my day fails to do so and bombards you just scientific jargon which really doesn’t help you. But this book is positively different from the majority of the self-help book.
Some of the writing in this book is not the greatest. Its not bad nor is it good. The writing style is simple and easy to read. But a lot of times the writing style feels like something you would use when you talk with one of your good friends rather than writing a self-help book for the rest of humanity to read.
All the solution to get a better life presented in this book are very realistic and very easy to achieve if you sett your mind to. Which really made me give this book a few extra points when rating it.

Let me give you a quick explanation of why I’m again reviewing William Shakespeare. In December I got an Kindle, and I was playing around with it and I say that this e-book was for free on the “Prime Reading” category so I decided to read the short stories and poem of William Shakespeare because I really enjoyed reading his work the first time around. So I decided to review this book because some of my opinion about the William Shakespeare’s work included in this book have changed.
This book contains all the sonnets written by William Shakespeare and I gotta admit that reading them second time after I read them for the first time in 2022 which by now is 2 years ago.
2 years ago I rated most of William Shakespeare’s sonnets as 1-star or 2-star reads but now I would say that most of them I would have rated them higher than that. Not 5-star reads but decent 3-star and 4-star reads. I personally think that, that is some very much personal growth on literature.
If you want me to re-review all of the sonnets individually again then let me now in the comments because I will gladly do that if there is interest for that.
Edgar Allan Poe remains the unsurpassed master of works of mystery and madness in this outstanding collection of Poe’s prose and poetry are sixteen of his finest tales
Let me give you a quick explanation of why I’m again reviewing Edgar Allan Poe. In December I got an Kindle, and I was playing around with it and I say that this e-book was for free on the “Prime Reading” category so I decided to read the short stories and poem of EAP (Edgar Allan Poe) because I really enjoyed reading his work the first time around. So I decided to review this book because some of my opinion about the EAP’s work included in this book have changed.
This book contains The Tell-Tale Heart, The Black Cat, The Cask of Amontillado, The Fall of the House of Usher, The Masque of the Red Death, The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar, Ligeia, The Murders in the Rue Morgue, The Purloined Letter, A Descent into the Maelstrom, The Pit and the Pendulum, Ms. Found in a Bottle, The Premature Burial, William Wilson, Eleonara, Silence-A Fable, The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym, Stanzas, Romance, To Helen, Israfel, The City in the Sea, The Sleeper, The Valley of Unrest, Lenore, The Raven, A Valentine, Ulanume-A Ballad, For Annie, Annabel Lee, The Bells & Alone.
The last time I read anything by EAP was in 2021, which is now solid 4 years ago and I need to be honest here and admit that majority of the stories and poems in this book have been much better now on re-reading them than what I felt about them back in 2021 when I read them for the first time.
The reason behind it might be that my opinions, thoughts, likes and dislikes changed in those 4 years or the amount of books ive read in those 4 years have affected me without me realizing it.
Of course if you want me to re-read all of EAP’s work again and re-review them then let me now in the comments because now I would have given them different ratings and different opinions in the reviews than what I did on the first read of them.
But I gotta say that this book surprised me a lot, because it gave me the joy of being a new reader back in 2020 and 2021 and why I decided to start this website to talk about the books, short stories and poems ive read and maybe help people decide what books, short stories or poems they should pick up and which once they shouldn’t.
Yes after reading this book, I come to the realization that EAP is easily one of my top 5 authors (so far in my life at least.)
Some Lessons teaches how to use dark psychology for sales(“Lesson 85: Send People Their Money Back”), others teaches the mindset required (“Lesson 25: Be Passionate For Money Only”) and people’s favorite (“Lesson 63: Loser Rolls With Losers, Winner Rolls With Winner”) Every Lesson, though, has one thing in It teaches you how to become RICH. This Book is ideal whether you’re just starting out or if you already have a six figure business.
I need to admit that I don’t know why I tried to read this book because I hate Andrew Tate and don’t agree with a single thing he says. But very fortunately I didn’t spend any money on this book because when I got this book on my kindle it was free.
This book is just a collection of all the shitty things Andrew Tate said on camera to earn money from the watch time on his videos to traffic women.
I had more or less DNF-ed this book after reading 10 pages of this book, because I’ve noticed this book isn’t worth my time or the memory usage on my Kindle.
If you are like me and don’t agree with anything which comes out of Andrew Tate’s mouth, don’t reading this book because it isn’t worth the time or effort to read this book.
Upstate NY, 1982. Every small town like Fell, New York, has a place like the Sun Down Motel. Some customers are from out of town, passing through on their way to someplace better. Some are locals, trying to hide their secrets. Viv Delaney works as the night clerk to pay for her move to New York City. But something isn’t right at the Sun Down, and before long she’s determined to uncover all of the secrets hidden.
I gotta admit that this book had surprised me a lot because I didn’t think it would have been as good as it is. I need to say that this book is easily the best book I’ve read last year.
However dont buy into the fact on Goodreads that this book has a huge ghost story in it. Yes there are a few moments where the ghosts comes into the plot. But those moments are very rare and the majority of this book is a investigation about what happened to the main character’s aunt a few decades before.
In this book we get to follow 2 perspectives, one perspective takes place in 1982 and we follow Vivian (aunt) and the second perspective takes place in 2017 and we follow Carly (niece). Both of the perspective takes place in Sun Down motel and the town where the sun down motel is located in.
I think the two perspectives helped me to like this book as much as I did. Because it makes it more interesting because we get two see the story through 2 different perspectives and we can learn the story through Vivian and Carly.
The characters in this book are very good. Because all the characters have a lot of personality to them and they are very unique in their own way. All the characters have they own quirks and something which makes them really relatable.
The writing style in this book is very good, because its like the author knew what words to use to completely grab my attention and to not let it go until the very end of this book.
I need to admit that there were some moments in this book which dragged for too long, which made the book boring at times.
The ending of this book has huge twist to it, but the twist in my opinion wasn’t as good as I expected it to be. Of course I cant say what the twist is but it really killed of the mood a little bit. I don’t know if it was me but I could see the the plot twist at the end coming from chapters away.
When fifteen-year-old Clary Fray heads out to the Pandemonium Club in New York City, she hardly expects to witness a murder― much less a murder committed by three teenagers covered with strange tattoos and brandishing bizarre weapons. Then the body disappears into thin air. It’s hard to call the police when the murderers are invisible to everyone else and when there is nothing―not even a smear of blood―to show that a boy has died. Or was he a boy?
I gotta say that I have to stop reading those very overhyped books on the internet, since neither of them are actually good in my personal opinion.
This book is a very typical YA book, with the plot being very unbelievable. Like the beginning of this book where the bouncer at a nightclub lets in 2 15-year-old girls into the nightclub.
I personally found this book very boring. The reason behind this might be the fact that it was in a huge reading slub while I picked up this book and tried to read it. Its important to say that I DNF-ed this book 150 pages or so into this book.
I think that I was bit of too harsh to this book because of the reading slub I was in during reading this book. And because of this I wanted to read it again some time in the future.
This book has a good beginning because its interesting and somehow enjoyable. But the deeper you get into this book all the momentum this book had during the beginning disappears and all the interesting parts just vanish into thin air.
The writing style in this book is a very typical for a YA book, which means that its easy to read and it isn’t advanced. But I personally liked the writing style in this book because it played well with the plot of this book.
The characters in this book were very generic for a YA book, which really disappointed me a bit because I’ve read on the internet that the characters in this book and the entire book series are very good.
But after reading this book I gotta say that the characters are pretty flat and somehow shallow. Because they have very little personality and they almost blend together cuz they are so similar to each other in their personalities.
There is little more terrifying than those who hunt, stalk and snatch their prey under the cloak of darkness. These hunters search not for animals, but for the touch, taste, and empowerment of human flesh. They are cannibals, vampires and monsters, and they walk among us. These serial killers are not mythical beasts with horns and shaggy hair. They are people living among society, going about their day to day activities until nightfall. They are the Dennis Rader’s, the fathers, husbands, church going members of the community. This A-Z encyclopedia of 150 serial killers is the ideal reference book. Included are the most famous true crime serial killers, like Jeffrey Dahmer, John Wayne Gacy, and Richard Ramirez, and not to mention the women who kill, such as Aileen Wuornos and Martha Rendell. There are also lesser known serial killers, covering many countries around the world, so the range is broad. Each of the serial killer files includes information on when and how they killed the victims, the background of each killer, or the suspects in some cases such as the Zodiac killer, their trials and punishments. For some there are chilling quotes by the killers themselves. The Big Book of Serial Killers is an easy to follow collection of information on the world’s most heinous murderers.
The reason why I read this book wasn’t that I was interested in actually reading it, but I got this book as a gift from someone and since I already had it on my TBR bookshelf I decided to go ahead and finally read it after this book had laid on the shelf for a better part of 2 years. Its also important to say that I had DNF-ed this book after having read 150 pages of it or so.
To be honest in this review I gotta say that I had quite a few issues with this book, and I will explain all of my issues with this book of course right here in this review.
The main thing which annoyed me the most about this book is that this book contains false information about the cases or serial killers it talks about. Those false information doesn’t happen often but they do happen a fair share of times during this book. I personally think that if you gonna write a book about a true crime cases then the author should at the very least double check the dates, victim names, and other relevant information before printing and publishing the book.
The second thing which annoyed me a lot, was the very bad grammar in this book. As some of you may know from being around my website for a while, English isn’t my native language but even I noticed the very bad grammar in this book. Which really in my opinion says a lot about how bad the grammar is for someone who’s second language is English to notice the bad grammar.
This book is supposed to be a encyclopedia that gives an overview of each killer but the problem with that it focuses very little time into each killer and by doing that it gives us a bare minimum of information and details about each killer which doesn’t make this book be a “encyclopedia”. To be honest you can learn more about each case if you just watch a 5 minute YouTube video about each killer.
The tone of this book is also very bad because it feels like written by someone in the 5th or 6th grade. Because of the many spelling or grammatical errors which happen over and over again in this book.
From what I have seen on Goodreads, Jack Rosewood had written a fair share of true crime books about real like serial killers. Which doesn’t look good for me after reading this book. Because there are so many things a experienced writer like him wouldn’t do, but it was done anyways in this book.
I personally have been interested in the topic of serial killers, so I have some kind of knowledge about the majority of people discussed this book. And to be very honest here, you can find much better sources on the internet which do much better job covering the cases than this book does.
There are a lot of printing errors in this book too. Which really annoyed me because the layout of this book would change every couple of pages or chapters which really made me confused. Because if the author spend x amount of hours researching the cases and writing about them, why wouldn’t he spend a few more hours making sure that the layout of this book is the same from front to back ?
It almost feels like there was no published or editor having a look on this book before actually printing and selling the copies of this book. Which really blows my mind because at this point I have read hundreds of books and this book is the first one I came across which have the stupidest mistakes which could have been avoided.
So after reading this book, or trying to read it, I gotta say that this book isn’t worth the time nor the money you will spend on it. Because it gives the reader the bare minimum about each case and it is filled with errors that really should be avoided when you are about to publish a book.
Feyre, Rhysand, and their friends are still busy rebuilding the Night Court and the vastly altered world beyond, recovering from the war that changed everything. But Winter Solstice is finally approaching, and with it, the joy of a hard-earned reprieve. Yet even the festive atmosphere can’t keep the shadows of the past from looming. As Feyre navigates her first Winter Solstice as High Lady, her concern for those dearest to her deepens. They have more wounds than she anticipated-scars that will have a far-reaching impact on the future of their court.
This book is between book 3 and book 4 in “A Court of Thorns and Roses” book series.
I gotta say that this book is less impressive than the 3 previous books in this series, because this book follows multiple characters like Feyra, Rhysand, Kasjan and Morrigan. All of their perspectives talk about how they deal with the events of the third book in the series as they prepare for Christmas.
I gotta say that the plot was okay for the most part, its not as fun and interesting for me personally as the 3 previous books in this series were. This book dense involve any battles or war meetings instead it focuses on what I said above.
Even thou this book is about preparing about Christmas it doesn’t have the Christmas vibe a lot of books about Christmas have, which made me deduct a few points because of it.
This book is pretty short, my copy of this book has 265 pages, and this book has quiet a few Feyre and Rhy’s naughty scenes. To be very honest here I didnt expected to have so many of them in such a short book this one is.
In this book we also got the see the characters from this universe having a normal lives which really wasn’t that existing for me personally but it was still fun to get to see that happen.
The writing style in this book wasn’t as impressive as it was in the 3 previous books in this series which really made me disappointed in a way. But still it might not have been the most impressive writing style in this series but it was still much better than some other books ive read to this point. But if you want me to give you a straight answer about the writing style I gotta say that it was pretty decent.
The characters here were very good, you could easily see in this book that the characters really matured and changed in a way since the events of book 3. Which really made me happy.
The Republic is decaying, even under the leadership of Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, who was elected to save the galaxy from collapsing under the forces of discontent. On the tiny but strategic planet of Ansion, a powerful faction is on the verge of joining the growing secessionist movement. At the Chancellor’s request, the Jedi Council sends two Jedi Knights, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Luminara Unduli, along with their Padawans Anakin Skywalker and Barriss Offee, to stabilize the planet’s population. To succeed, the Jedi will have to fulfill near-impossible tasks, befriend wary strangers, and influence two great armies, stalked all the while by an enemy sworn to see the negotiations collapse and the mission fail.
Once again we are talking about another Star Wars book, I gotta say I had some high hope for this book. But to be very honest here this book didn’t live up to most of my expectations I had for this book.
In this book we Obi-Wan Kenobi, Luminara Unduli, Anakin Skywalker and Barriss Offee are send on a mission and we follow the 4 of them in this book.
I gotta admit that Obi-wan and Anakin don’t feel as developed and well made characters in this book as in the movies. Which really disappointed me a lot in this book. Because as some of you might know, Obi-wan and Anakin are one of my all time favorite characters from the Star Wars universe.
And the new characters we get in this book as Luminara Unduli and Barriss Offee don’t leave a lasting impression as the OG character from Star Wars universe.
Both Luminara Unduli and Barriss Offee feel like mediocre characters, with not a lot of personality and depth into them which made it difficult for me to invest in their story.
The writing style in this book lacks the aspect of what makes Star Wars, Star Wars. The writing style is average to be honest. My main problem with the writing style is that it doesn’t have the depth and uniqueness which other Star Wars books have.
The descriptions in this book sometimes feel very generic and drags at times because they feel like they would fit better a fantasy book rather than a star wars book.
The plot in this book while interesting and enjoyable lacks the immersive quality and the star wars vibe which the majority of star wars books have.
In horror movies, the final girls are the ones left standing when the credits roll. They made it through the worst night of their lives…but what happens after? Like his bestselling novel The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires, Grady Hendrix’s latest is a fast-paced, frightening, and wickedly humorous thriller. From chain saws to summer camp slayers, The Final Girl Support Group pays tribute to and slyly subverts our most popular horror films—movies like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre , A Nightmare on Elm Street , and Scream.
Ive heard a lot of good things about this book. And I had some pretty high expectations for this book. I gotta say that this book lived up to most of my expectations I had for it.
The plot is very interesting because this book takes place after the massacre at a summer camp, after a school shooting, after someone you know murders all your friends or family and goes after you. After you survive a serial killer going after you. I gotta say that the premise of the plot is amazing, and there was no surprise for me that I got interested in this book.
The plot itself is amazing to be honest. Yes the beginning of this book is all over the place. You don’t know whats happening, what will happen next or what to expect of this book. But the moment you reach the fourth of fifth chapter the action starts to pick up and you get sucked into the plot or at least it was what happened to me while reading this book.
In this book we get a group of the original final girls which had survived the classic slasher movie scenario 15+ years before the plot in this book takes place. We follow how different their lives have become through the eyes of the main character who is also a final girl. But then someone starts to go after the original final girls group.
The characters in this book are just amazing. They all have their own unique personalities and struggles they still face after becoming a final girl of the classic slasher movie. And I completely fell in love with them because they feel like real human beings rather than fictional characters.
The writing style in this book is amazing because it was like the author knew what words to use to completely grab my attention and to not let it go until the very end of this book. The writing style was completely stunning.
The ending of this book was just incredible it was truly the perfect ending for this book. It was very satisfying especially with the twist at the end of this book when we learn who the killer is who is going after the original final girls.
My only problem with this book was the very slow beginning. Because you don’t really know what is happening.
