“ZombieStop Parade” by Richard Buzzell is a book about two people that try to use a forum to shed light on just how corrupt the corporate world along with the banks can be. It goes into details on how work in the corporate world needs to change. A lot of the things written in this book are true and have already happened in the business world.
I found this book to be completely engaging and most interesting. I found myself not being able to put this book down. Richard Buzzell explains his thoughts on the mess that the corporate world has made with some of the CEO’s need for greed. I think the people of our country need to read this book and help force the changes that need to be made.

BAD GIRL GONE MOM BY K.C. LAUER
“Bad Girl Gone Mom” is the true life story of K. C. Lauer. She openly talks about her alcohol abuse in her teen years and how her sexual relationships failed when she felt she wasn’t being loved enough.
In a lot of ways I could relate with the things that K. C. Lauer wrote. I loved how she opened herself to the world in this way. I imagine there are lots of girls and women that will relate to the instances that the author put forth in this story which have made her who she is today.
I felt that this book was extremely well written and being written from the heart made it all very believable and sympathetic to women every where with these issues.

RICH AND LOST IN PROSPERIA A Tropical Tale of Market Economics” by Doramas Jorge-Calderon
I don't read many books which seem to fit between the rankings. “Rich and Lost in Prosperia A Tropical Tale of Market Economics” by Doramas Jorge-Calderon happens to sit right between what I would consider a good book and a great read. While I give him credit for genuinely taking a creative and interesting approach to his subject, I feel that the work reads as though the bulk of the creative writing came as an after thought. The choice of character names gave me unwanted pause several times. Still, as an alternative to text books or lectures, Prosperia holds its own. Despite its shortcomings as a work of fiction, I am very glad to have had the chance to read it.

WHO GOT LIZ GARDNER by Elizabeth Allen
WHO GOT LIZ GARDNER by Elizabeth Allen is a first person narrative about the actions of an aspiring actress in New York City who then follows an assumed upgrade to Los Angeles as real life actors follow the same route in reality. Liz’s goals are simple…to become an actor and find a good man. Easy enough? Not really.
The sexual content is done in amongst wisecracks making it not too raunchy for the average reader in my opinion.
I laughed, cried and was not aghast about any of the truths that Liz portrayed in her actions. I think that in today’s society this story is in direct correlation with life in general in the “acting field” and/or “romance department”. I was quickly drawn into the drama of Liz’s life and her roles as a human being.
Elizabeth Allen takes the time to detail Liz’s lifestyle and it easily compares to real life dramas. Dysfunctional family life in this novel is a meager comparison to life itself.
I guess I am on the fence about this novel. I did not find it “great” but at the same time the differences and nuances of life in general do follow today’s societal behaviors and not of the “traditional” well being of a herione in any novel with romance, sex and odd ball heretics of today’s romances.

The “Adventures of Rusty & Ginger Fox” by Tim Ostermeyer
The “Adventures of Rusty & Ginger Fox” by Tim Ostermeyer is a wonderful story of Rusty and Ginger with some interesting facts about each animal they come into contact with. I love the fact that Mr. Ostermeyer wrote the story around the pictures that he took so the children can see what the animals look like in their environment.
My hope is that children will have this book in their library. It would be a shame if it was not added there.

Murder is a Family Affair by Heather Haven
Murder is a Family Affair by Heather Haven is a well written book that grabs your attention from the first page to the last and leaves you wanting more of the characters. Heather Haven, the author, does an excellent job of making you feel as though you are there with the characters and see what they see. This book is well worth taking the time to read!
