Oct 16, 2008 Book Review: The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins
Swiftly and without holding back, Dawkins blasts through a number of arguments that are not always so much against the idea of god, but more specifically towards organized religion in which people put faith and the actions and decisions they make based on that faith. Dawkins without a doubt is one of the most influencing authors of the last decade in regards to the progression of free thought and critically questioning religion.
Sep 24, 2008 Book Review: Night Fall by Nelson Demille
This novel will blow you away. Although it is fiction, the whole story is based around hard evidence and questionable conclusions regarding the tragedy of TWA flight 800 that exploded off the coast of New York in 1996 killing over 200 passengers. On the fifth aniversary of the crash, former NYPD detective John Corey, now an FBI Federal Anti-Terrorist Task Force agent, attended the ceremony with his wife of the same occupation. Having taken part in the investigation, she attended every year in remembrance of those who died. The government concluded that the crash was a result of mechanical failure. Many people knew that was a lie, including his wife.

Sep 23, 2008 Book Review: Deja Dead by Kathy Reichs
I recently started watching the TV show Bones and quickly became a fan. I noticed in the beginning of each episode during the intro credits that it was based off novels by Kathy Reichs, and having liked the show, I decided to check out the novels. Deja Dead is the first novel in the series and so I figured it would be the best place to start.
Sep 01, 2008 Book Review: Angels and Demons by Dan Brown
Angels and Demons, written by Dan Brown, is a novel based heavily around the different philosophical viewpoints and intent between science and religion. The storyline itself is entertaining and easy to follow, but its something much deeper that made me love this book. Most Christian writers will show a very evident bias in their fictional writings like C.S. Lewis. Despite the criticism by his fellow believers, Dan Brown, who is a Christian in real life, does not hold back when it comes to writing objectively about religion within his novels.
