Book Review: “The Paper Doorway” Poetry by Dean Koontz

I recently gave my 12 year old son the assignment to reflect on poetry that he had recently read. His response was that he could not do the assignment, as he did not like poetry and had never really read any poetry.

My response to him went something like this “but you love poetry, and you recently were telling me about all the great little ‘stories’ you were reading in your Dean Koontz book.”

His response “That’s not poetry, I liked that book. It was full of funny little stories.”

We had a long discussion after about how poetry takes on many forms and brings many different emotions. The emotions that were felt with Koontz’s poetry made my son feel happy. All poetry is not like that and my son did later admit he enjoys poetry, especially Koontz’s poetry.

“The Paper Doorway” is filled with humorous, whimsical poetry for children of all ages. There are wonderful illustrations on nearly each page and each illustration contains a mouse for your child to find.

This is a must have book for all young readers which will expose them to the joys of poetry.

Lover Revealed by JR Ward

J.R. Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood is back, and in the latest installment of this bestselling paranormal romance series they're bigger and badder than ever. In Lover Revealed, Butch O'Neal, the hard-living ex-homicide cop goes even deeper into the world of these vampire brothers, with their revved-up sex-drives, strange language (a glossary is provided!) and violent turf wars with the "lessers," who are de-souled humans in the evil Omega's Lessening Society. The only human allowed into the inner circle of this band of "brothers," Butch falls for Marissa, a female vampire who's an aristocratic beauty way out of his league. Needless to say, this complicates his life just a little bit...

What is loved about this installment is watching all the characters grow and evolve—Butch especially comes into his own here. Richly layered, this book is far from "vampire-lite" chick lit, with the exception of Ward's occasional "brand name" dropping. It's gritty, suspenseful and not for the faint of heart, with plenty of strong sexuality and even stronger language.

Are you Omega-3 deficient?

The LCP Solution by B. Jacqueline Story, Ph.D. and Malcolm J. Nicholl

This is one book where I have truly learned how nutritionally deficient in a particular nutrient a person can become. Before reading this book, I had not even thought of whether my children were consuming enough Omega-3’s in their daily diet.

The LCP Solution gives an excellent history of how as humans we have deviated from the normal staple of food our species once had consumed. Past humans depended on the intake of fish, but today with fast food and so many other options, fish is not normally put on the dinner table daily. In my house, we are lucky if we have fish every other week.

Further chapters delve into the details of exactly why Omega-3 is necessary for our bodies and more specifically our mind. Deficiencies can not only produce skin disorders but also mind disorders, which are manageable through the supplementation of Omega-3’s back into our daily diet.

Real-life stores are included as well as relevant studies and research. The medical and homeopathic communities are beginning to fully embrace the topic. In fact, my son’s ADHD Pediatrician, as well as his regular Pediatrician both recommend Omega-3 supplementation.

Omega-3 supplementation has become a nutritional priority in my house because of The LCP Solution. And I am very happy to report that my 11 year old’s eczema has completely resolved, his language arts and reading skills have increased, and his ADHD has become manageable. I am not professing that you will have such miraculous results, but this book is definitely worth a read.
