book review by Brandi i received this book from the Author Black Eagle Force is a top-secret, Special Ops unit of ex-military men and women created for its ultra-rapid-deployment capabilities and intended to operate outside of governmental restrictions. In Eye of the Storm, a fast-paced new military thriller novel by Buck Stienke and Ken Farmer, a border skirmish on a Texas ranch catches the atten...tion of the DoD, and within minutes, the BEF is scrambled in their high-tech VTOL aircraft to investigate and to protect the United States border. Joining forces with the former Marine family that owns the Texas ranch, their mission deepens to preventing suitcase nuclear weapons from being detonated by terrorists in the United States, while struggling to penetrate a criminal empire on a remote, heavily defended island in the Gulf of Mexico. They are tasked by President Annette Henry Thompson to sanction with extreme prejudice the mastermind behind the acquisition of the nuclear devices, also a trafficker in drugs and human lives, and in the quest to accomplish this before Hurricane Ellen hits the island fortress, BEF finds itself challenged to live up to its motto: Semper Paro Bellum this book started off really slow at first and than it picked it's pace up, this was a very good book, but not my kind of book's that i usually read though, I Recommended this book to everyone, i give this book 4 stars, everyone go check this book out. i recommended this book to anyone that likes military books this is not my kind of book at all that i am use to reading.See More

Since I'm a big fan of American Born Chinese, Gene Luen Yang's wonderful award-winning graphic novel about being Chinese-American, I was excited to learn that Yang had another book coming out this summer. Level Up is the story of Dennis Ouyang, a Chinese-American young man who longs to play video games but is denied them by his parents and told to focus on his studies. He loses his father at the end of high school, and immediately goes out to purchase a Nintendo. From that point on, he is focused on nothing but video games, which he is very good at, but loses sight of his studies, and gets kicked out of college his junior year. Four guardian angels, characters from the 8th grade graduation card his father had given to him, come to his aid and turn him around to the point that he ends up in medical school, studying to be a gastroenterologist. Then he begins to question whether or not being a doctor was truly his destiny... It may be unfair to compare Level Up with American Born Chinese, but such comparisons are inevitable. The style and storytelling are very similar in the two books (except that Level Up tells just one story, while American Born Chinese tells three intertwined ones). I appreciate the way that Yang writes about the Chinese-American experience. At first it seems stereotypical... a story about a Chinese-American man choosing between video games (geeky) and medical school (nerdy). But Yang turns this into a thoughtful and entertaining examination of how our family affects our choices, and whether or not that's even a bad thing. Like in American Born Chinese, the ghosts turn out to not be what they seem, but in a slightly ludicrous/campy way. Like American Born Chinese, Level Up is a coming of age tale about being Chinese-American, but has a pretty wide appeal--not just for teens and Chinese-Americans. Level Up just doesn't have the level of cultural transcendence that American Born Chinese did, and a big part of that, in my eyes, are Thien Pham's illustrations. I'm not sure why Yang didn't illustrate Level Up himself, as he did American Born Chinese, because I loved the high-contrast, slick, simple illustrations in ABC. Pham's illustrations in Level Up are simple, but have a dull palate, all grays and beige. Also, the watercolor style doesn't look as refined as ABC's, although I got used to it midway through. In all, Level Up is more of a minor work from Yang, an intriguing introductory work from Pham, and a decent quick (~30 min) read. Ages 15 and up (there isn't really mature content or anything, that's just the age that I think will be interested in this book).
