Younger by Suzanne Munshower

By
Brief synopsis (no spoilers)
Anna Wallingham is a marketing professional of "a certain age" that is struggling with keeping clients. Her largest client has put her out to pasture, and is going for a younger set of consultants. And then, thankfully, a new very large account falls in her lap. Large enough to leave her a millionaire. But at what cost?

Why I chose this book
Kindle First

My personal opinion (the review)
The story was excellent. Lots of plot twists, lots of crossing and double-crossing to keep track of, lots of interesting characters and locations. The character list was probably too long, though, I kept just ignoring some of the story line because I couldn't remember who everyone was. And there was a large handful of unnecessary language. But the way the story line crossed generations was interesting.
If you had the chance to look significantly younger, would you?

Warnings:
Language - yes, more than was necessary
Violence - some, not graphic
"Adult" situations - yes, not graphic
Death - yes, major characters, not graphic

Movie rating equivalent
PG-16 (I wouldn't let a 13-year old read it)

Protagonist description
Anna had an impressive ability to represent herself well, despite all of the disguises she wore. That takes a person with their head squarely on their shoulders to accomplish.

Point of view of story
Third, focusing on Anna

Book length
Medium-long

Story flow
Good, no slow parts

Grammar and spelling issues
None

Character connection (no spoilers)
Everyone I wanted to know more about was developed in the story. No loose ends.

The Game by Terry Schott

By
Brief synopsis (no spoilers) What if this life is just a simulation? What if our bodies are in another world, plugged into a virtual reality game, and our entire life is just one play in that game? What would our real life be like, if we could experience several full simulated lifespans, in our teen years, and then enter adulthood? That is the premise of this story. Category Sci-Fi Why I chose this book It was either free or discounted on Amazon, and sounded interesting My personal opinion (the review) Too many inconsistencies. For example: The real world is able to view the players in the game in "real time", but time in the game is sped up, so that a week in real life is worth a decade in the virtual world. How do real world people have enough time to experience the virtual world, in real time, while still being accelerated? Danielle enters the game 3 days behind Trew, but she only ends up being 1 year younger. If a week is a decade in the game, then 3 days should have be...

Tap the Magic Tree by Christie Matheson

By
Summary: Every book needs you to turn the pages. But not every book needs you to tap it, shake it, jiggle it, or even blow it a kiss. Innovative and timeless, Tap the Magic Tree asks you to help one lonely tree change with the seasons. It begins with a bare brown tree. But tap that tree, turn the page, and one bright green leaf has sprouted! Tap again—one, two, three, four—and four more leaves have grown on the next page. Pat, clap, wiggle, jiggle, and see blossoms bloom, apples grow, and the leaves swirl away with the autumn breeze. (Amazon) Attention Span/reading level: Perfect for my three year old. I would say that ages 2-10 would really enjoy something like this. It really keeps kids engaged and makes them feel like part of the story. There is one word to one sentence per page. Good uses for book in teaching: Interaction, that the reader takes part in making the story, what a tree can do (leaves, blossoms, fruit) Favorite part:      Child: The fact that ...
