Book Review: How To Kill Cancer Cells




How To Kill Cancer Cells

Book Review
By Michael Beas

http://www.amazon.com/Kill-Cancer-Cells-Natalie-Mitchell-ebook/dp/B00BH45QTI/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1397745455&sr=1-1&keywords=%22How+to+kill+cancer+cells


Author and Nutritionist Natalie Mitchell take center stage in what seems to be the never-ending battle against Cancer.

In short, this is a unique and comprehensive book that will arm you with the tools needed to fight cancer through preventives. It’s truly a proactive approach to building a solid knowledge base that can lead to a more active, fit and hopefully cancer free lifestyle.

Some of the topics I found to be the most intriguing are the foods that are good and those that at least, on the outside, seem good and healthy but on the inside may in-fact be harming us. This book is well written in an easy to follow manner that will keep your eyes glued to your reading device well into the late night hours. I cannot stress how comprehensive this book truly is. The information found, is well researched and documented through various medial publications providing a solid backbone to the message being portrayed throughout the book. In other words its not something made up that has no baring on your life as is the case with many other books in the market today.

The vegetable acidity chart came as shock to me when I saw some of my favorite foods at the top of the list. It ‘s also great that this book is available in digital format, that way I can reference anytime I want on my kindle.

Words to describe this book are Informational, Comprehensive, Descriptive, Eye Opening, and Profound in so many ways that truly should be shared with everyone.

On a personal note I lost my Grandfather and Father to Cancer. As a society we need to not only invest money on cures, but also need to take a proactive approach to helping people live healthier lifestyles. This book is an amazing first step that I personally will reference over and over. Totally worth the investment and I Highly Recommend to all.

Book Review:The Porter's Wife




The Porter's Wife
Lisa Brown (Author)

Book Review
By Michael Beas


Historical Fiction at its very finest!

Author Lisa Brown has done an astounding job with this fantastic tale that has captured my heart and imagination. While there are many words that can define this novel one in particular stands out amongst the rest: Gripping!

How can one write a review on such an amazing story that will engulf the mind and imagination well into the late night hours? In this story you will embark on a great number of adventures that will simply take your breath away. A voyage aboard a steamship across the Atlantic Ocean dating back to the early 1900’s is just one of the many treats that will sweep you away. Main Character, Sarah Berry was developed perfectly in an easy to relate, easy to follow manner that is multi-dimensional, not an easy task to accomplish as an Author.

While I have never been to Manchester, England I felt as if I was walking down the streets in the early 1900’s watching the flames of the dancing candles lick the glass off of the oil lamps hanging by the windows. The characters are bold and strong, the world Brown has created for the reader is extremely descriptive and places you in the heart of the story. The plot theme is original and unique.

Words to describe this book are: Emotional, Realistic, Inspiring, and Descriptive in a well-written manner. Wait I have more: Fear, Doubt, Sorrow, and Regret will enthrall this senses in an epic way that will have you thinking about this book well after you are done reading. If you are a fan of Ken Follett then you will love this “The Porter Wife.” What can I say other then I have become a fan of Author Lisa Brown and can’t wait to read more of her works.

5 Stars and wish there was more to pass out.




Book Review: The Rainy Day Man




The Rainy Day Man
Amnon Jackont (Author), Dorothea Shefer-Vanson (Translator)

Book Review
By Michael Beas



Main Character Danny Simon takes center stage in this epic all out adventure ride that will have you clinging to the edge of your seat.

I purchased the “The Rainy Day Man” the other night and got through it the same day. It was gripping and filled with nonstop action the likes of which I have only seen in Daniel Silva novels. In short this is a story of an Israeli secret agent that’s main duty is to collect data. Seems easy enough but the journey is far from that as he is thirsted into a world of danger and espionage. There is no one he can trust and he is forced to come to grips with his own self in the process.

The ending made me grin, smile, and gasp for air in a memorable fashion that left me wanting more from Author Amnon Jackont. Simply brilliant and unique is a sweeping fashion.

5 Stars!

Book Review: Welcome to Deep Cove (Vellian Mysteries)




Welcome to Deep Cove (Vellian Mysteries)
Grant T. Reed (Author, Illustrator) 


Book Review
By Michael Beas

An amazing and captivating story of classic proportion!

This is one of those books that you simply will not be able to put down once you get started. I was completely enthralled with this original storyline and plot theme that swept me away to the tiny coastal town of Deep Cove. All of the characters are developed perfectly, my favorite being Garrett Willigins, who was made detective but is still trying to scrape two pennies together to make a living.

Words to describe this book are: Fun, Exciting, Thrilling, Suspenseful, Descriptive, and Captivating in an adventurous way that will leave you wanting more.

An extremely well writing tale that will have you going into work late the next day and leave you wanting more. I was saddened to see it come to and end and can assure you that it will engulf the imagination well after you are done reading.

5 Stars

Book Review: Broken Sky




Broken Sky 
Saurav Dutt (Author)

Bookplex Review
By Michael Beas



A visually rich story that will engulf the mind and imagination in a mesmerizing fashion fit to last the test of time.

This is definitely a lengthy book that took me all of three days to put down. With that said, it is also a page-turner that will keep you enthralled the entire time. All of the characters are developed lovely and are easy in my opinion to engage and relate to. I like the fact that the secondary characters are mentioned and play a role in the overall plot theme of the story without overpowering the main characters. Most books in this genre allow the secondary characters to take lead and thus cause the book to sound confusing, especially with a book of this size. That was not the case in this book. Author Saurav Dutt does a fantastic job of allowing the story to flow naturally and fitting in a way that is easy to read and understand, not an easy task to accomplish.

The stories deeper message of “what or how far would you go to help someone you love?” This in particular resonated with me personally having lost a father due to brain cancer and the truth is that a person will do almost anything to help / save the person they love. Words to describe this book are: Emotional, Inspirational, Suspenseful and Well- Written in a way that has captivated my heart and mind well after I was done reading.

5 Stars and can’t wait to read more from Author Saurav Dutt.

Book Review: RomperSuit





RomperSuit
Allen Jarvis (Author)

Book Review
By Michael Beas



London takes center stage in this amazing story of classical proportion!

This novel has it all: Real Life Correlations, Action, Humor, Violence, Sex, Marriage and a whole lot more. Everything comes together in an all battle the combines on an epic scale to capture the mind and imagination. While this is a work of fiction, the author’s descriptiveness engulfed my curiosity more oft then not. I sometimes even found myself wondering if the Pumphouse Gang actually existed.

Pealing back the layers of this astounding book you find the deeper meaning Author Allen Jarvis is trying to convey. In short this is a story of how people fight to make a difference and change in their lives.

Definitely an amazing book you don’t want to miss. This novel is an epic read that will surly last the test of time. The storyline and plot are original, the story is fast paced, well-written and easy to read and I believe will be enthralling to all who pick it up.

5 Stars and can not wait to see what Author Allen Jarvis comes up with next.

A gripping thrill ride that will keep your eyes glued to your reading device.

This amazing storyline takes off from the very beginning and does not stop until the very end. Author Todd M. Thiede in his novel “Time Killer,” presents an original plot that will keep you on edge the entire time.

If that is not enough to get your attention try adding the fact that the masked killer is in the room and waiting to do his dirty work. Stephen’s wife is butchered and two policemen begin what would be a long investigation of not just this killing, but many more that begin to occur.

Book Review: Drowning Mermaids




Drowning Mermaids
Nadia Scrieva (Author)

Book Review
By Michael Beas


Drowning Mermaids is simply amazing.

This novel has it all: Action, Adventure, Romance, Fantasy and even Humor.

I am huge a Fantasy buff and as such the world that Author Nadia Scrieva created captivated my senses and imagination. In many ways I found this book to be a cross between “The Deadliest Catch” and the “Little Mermaid.” It has the makings of a movie that I envisioned in my head as the pages turned effortlessly.

The main characters Trevain, Aazuria, and Callder are original, they are developed exceptionally well and their personalities are easy to relate with. The storyline is grand and epic and the plot and over all themes will keep you on edge the whole time. I was sad to see it come to an end and can not wait to read more

It took me two-nights to read this story to completion. After reading, I recommended it to everyone in my family. They too have found it to be an amazing novel of classic proportion.

What else can be said? I am addicted to Drowning Mermaids, and I highly recommend it to everyone. 5 Stars and wish there were more stars to pass out.

Book Reviews: Armageddon and the 4th Timeline





Armageddon and the 4th Timeline: A Spiritual Odyssey Through Time & Eternity
By Don Mardak (Author)

Book Review
By Michael Beas


Time Travel, War and the Supernatural all collide in an astounding fashion that will sweep you away.

From the very get go this story will engage you on an all out thrill ride that will stand the test of time. It might come as a shock to most but this “end of world,” tale does not involve Zombie’s or Aliens from another plant.

That is much a relief in my view!

There’s nothing wrong with Zombie’s or Aliens, it’s just that our Planet Earth needs to find a new way to come to a ghastly end. The good news is that Author Don Mardak has found the way in this epic non-stop action thrill ride that is both original, and simply mind-blowing. It will literally take your breath away and keep your eyes glued to your reading device way into the late night hours.

In short it took me a total of three days to finish “Armageddon and the 4th Timeline: A Spiritual Odyssey Through Time & Eternity.” The characters and storyline develop with skill and class of a season veteran. This is one you don’t want to miss and without a doubt is a Must Buy.

5 Stars and can’t wait to read more.

5 for 5 Star Amazon Review! Strump A World of Shadows






5.0 out of 5 stars
 Strump will be hard to top March 14, 2014
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

I was merely five pages in when I put Strump down to collect myself. So I pulled my hair back and got a cup of coffee before I began again; this was some serious fantasy and I intended to be all there for it.

The world inside Strump is enchanting. And I mean every corner of it; from the names of characters, places, things, to the description and dialogue. This author has an incredible imagination and the mad skills to transport his readers into a land divided in two. I should have waited to write this review because at the moment I’m tongue-tied with adjectives. All I want to do is put everything in caps and end it with exclamation points. I don’t often gush, but that’s all I seem to want to do.

At its heart of heart, this is a story of two brothers who both want the keys to their father’s kingdom. One is nefarious, the other virtuous, both powerful. By birthright, yes, but also because of the allegiances they form. And this is just the main vein. So many subplots and delightful characters abound.

I agree wholeheartedly with the previous reviewer who said this is a great bedtime story. I thought the same thing! Like, somebody cue Fred Savage and tell him to climb under the covers because Grandpa’s got a real doozy for him this time around.

Definitely the best fantasy I’ve read in a long, long time. I loved it.
