The Final Summit Review

The Final Summit by Andy Andrews is a fascinating journey of finding a principle to save the human race. The main character is given the task of discovering this principle. But he is not the only one to figure out this huge discovery. Let’s just say historical figures of the past come into play in helping him. They have a small amount of time to figure out their quest for the answer so every second counts.


This book had me hook with in the first few pages. It is a fast read and very well written. I enjoyed the adventure of finding the principle. It felt like I was enjoying the present as well as the past. If you like history, adventure, thought provoking substance or trying to make yourself a better person this book is definitely for you.

Who Knew I Like History - (my wife did)

A friend of mine lent me a book about the 12 day chase of John Wilkes Booth. So a few chapters into the book I realized that I like history. While I am reading some other books right now, I figure I would do a book review of Manhunt: The 12-Day Chase for Lincoln's Killer by James L. Swanson.

This book not only goes into great length about the chase of Lincoln’s killer, it gives the reader insight of other key people during this time frame. Mr. Swanson has done some amazing research into Lincoln, Booth and the rest of the key people.

If I had read this in history class, I would have a whole new approach to learning history. Do not miss out on one of the most well written books on Lincoln’s killer. This book has launched me in reading other books about history.
