I read it. It's okay.

It's not what you think it's going to be. A man dies trying to save a life, and when he is in the afterlife, he meets people who had an impact in his life, or whose life he impacted. It's kind of a short novelette version of It's a Wonderful Life, without the love and satisfying ending.

Let's see. I just finished Eragon (book one of Inheritance Trilogy) and Eldest (book two of Inheritance Trilogy).
Right now I'm reading The Looking Glass Wars (which I'm almost done with), The Screwtape Letters, and Sanctuary. Yeah, I know. I'm taking alot on at once. But I read fast and retain alot of what's in the books. All three of the books are really awesome. Very well written too. Except Sanctuary is kind of rushed though. Still a good book. The Looking Glass Wars is a REALLY good book! And I mean REALLY good! Almost as good as Inheritance Trilogy, which is the best trilogy ever. To me atleast.

"The Butterfly Revolution" By William Butler

It's quite good so far, it's an older book, and is about a young bookworm type boy (11) that gets sent to a boys summer camp, however the boys literally revolt, locking up all of the councillors. It becomes more then the game it was intended to be however and a boy named Frank (16) begins to lead this horde of boys as a Fuhrer, as a totalitarianistic government. It's a mirror of the adult world, with it's organization, psychology and brutality.

It's not as gory or gross as, say, "Lord of the Flies" but it's still very well done!

I've read the reviews on Amazon concerning this book, and I have decided to purchase this book.

:thumbsup: It's really good, with some very interesting insights that I'd never thought of before. I've found it easier to read than some of Edwards' other works.

"The Nun" ~ Denis Diderot

It started as a satrical joke of a story but began to grow as the author became more in depth with the charecter and plot.
It's basically about a young woman who has no religious voacation whatsoever becomes enclosed against her will in a convent.
It's a classic and was first written in the 1700's, it was also later translated from it's origional french to english in 1960's.
