ATOM AND EVE - Jeff Yager

ATOM AND EVE - Jeff Yager 

A review that flows from the pen of a Biomedical Science Student:

No bacteria or virus can claim more credit for worldwide pandemic than Influenza Flu Virus (SARS, H5N3)..

Atom and Eve spoke of this flu pandemic that could very much happen, similar to the recent Ebola scare. The fear described in the book when you watched close friends and people around you dying yet you were totally helpless reflected much of how we felt in the recent Ebola scare. 

It had been a while since I last wrote a book review. I finished this book within three and half hours. Truly thrilling and exciting, once I started reading I never want to put my kindle down. However, I must truly comment on how much I hate the suspense created in the beginning of the book where the story was written in four separate theme before attempting to join the whole story up. 

Have you read any good book lately? “ATOM AND EVE” promise to give you at least 4 hours of the adrenaline rush to keep your mind entertained for the rest of the day!~

Take time...

Take time to snooze in the midst of your business schedule.

I find it overwhelming at times, so much things to do, yet so little time.

Yet in the midst of my busyness business, I reminded myself to enjoy, rejoice and celebrate my life with families and friends, this is becoming increasing important to me as I aged..

Money, you can always earn more but friends and families, simply priceless..

Take time to think~
It is the source of power.
Take time to read~
It is the foundation of wisdom.
Take time to play~
It is the secret of staying young.
Take time to be quiet!
It is the chance to seek God.
Take time to be aware~
It is the chance to help others.
Take time to love and be loved~
It is God's greatest gift.
Take time to laugh~
It is the music of the soul.
Take time to be friendly~
It is the road to happiness.
Take time to dream~
It is what the future is made of.
Take time to pray~
It is the greatest power on earth.

To everything there is a season, 
A time for every purpose under heaven...

Don't judge a book by its cover, really?

Don’t judge a book by its cover? Do you know that we are made to be a visual creature with an average of 538,000,000 cells in our brain (visual cortex), in charge of our visual sight!

How things are packaged on the outside and its cover simply triggers our reaction towards it. Don’t the beautiful wrappers or the large and colorful movie posters attract you?

WPP reported that in the year 2010 alone, United States had spent an estimated amount of $142.5 billion and $467 billion worldwide in the art of advertising and marketing. Companies with professional looking websites and marketing materials convince consumers that they produce professional and quality work

“This certainly holds true for companies, which can convince us with professional-looking marketing materials, web sites, and offices that they produce professional-quality work.”

Hundreds and thousands of books are published a day, but only a handful are in the popular books session. Readers are drawn to the books by its cover, who then peek a look at its description. Book designers thus play a huge role in grabbing the potential readers’ attention. Thereby, a children book full of colorful pictures and big fonts, we expect it to be for younger age group. Ever heard of the phase “first impression counts?”

It takes 7 seconds to form the first impression. From the way how people are dressed, whether they shaved, their scent (hopefully no body odor) we perception, expectation towards them are roughly formed.

Over the years, the world had tried to shape us in such a way that we should not judge a man by its cover by the content of his character. Book reviews and book sampling came out so readers can have a taste of the ‘delicious’ content the authors have to offer.

I would like to end with a note, “Both the cover and its content is very important for the success to the sale of a book. We cannot rely on either one solely to succeed. However, cover page is the one that grabs the readers attention first.”

ANTics - by Dakota Douglas

ANTics

By Dakota Douglas

ANTics take you into a fantasy world of hidden ant colony – InhabitANT. Living among the colony of occupANTs, there lived three ants by the name of BrilliANT, ExuberANT and HesitANT.

Although brilliant, BrilliANT had an narrow escape and almost drowned in a pool of soda. The beaming ExuberANT had to outrun his enemies when he was chase by an army of dark army. The ever timid and hesitating HesitANT had to fight off the evil spider alone. .

Discover the extraordinary friendship of three courageous ants (ExuberANT, BrilliANT and HesitANT), how their friendship managed to help each other escape their mishaps and how they managed to defeat the evil spider, RepugnANT together.

The author, Dakota Douglas had done a great job playing with the words, naming every character that ends with an “ANT”. Learning new words have never been so fun and easy. This book is for children from age 8 to 11 years old. Big words like “ExuberANT“ makes it fun for parents and mentor to read aloud to them, to stimulant the imagination of the little ones.

The story of three little ants, ExuberANT, BrilliANT and HesitANT had taught us what many parents had missed out in this modern world today – importance of friendship, unity, courage and trust. Definitely a five star good read.

Woof - Dakota Douglas

Woof

By Dakota Douglas

“Woof” – a magical and fun-filled adventure of a boy, Jeremy and his endearing dog, Rufus. Jeremy was a lonely boy. Both of his parents worked late every day and never had time for him. Only to make thing worse, no children will let him join in their games in school. His only friend was a stray dog that he met in the back alley. One day, the strangest thing happened! Rufus, the dog came along and put his paws on Jeremy’s shoulders, and….

And, and they switched bodies!!! Now, with a boy trapped in a dog body, and a dog trapped in a boy’s body, what kind of “trouble” will they get into? Two stories in one book – how Rufus and Jeremy met each other and the adventures they encountered.

This magical book is suitable for children of all ages. It would make a good bed time story. The author, Dakota Dougla is gifted in writing children stories and pulling you into her imagination. Make sure you buy one for your little ones! It is a story that the kids do not mind reading it over and over again.  I give this story a 5 stars rating.

The plot, the story is just what you will love. Buy it, read it, you would not regret it.

And Yes, I agree with the author, a dog is always a man’s best friend.

Limitless - Bought to you by Nick Vujicic

Limitless

By Vujicic Nick

 “Limitless” – Vujicic Nick was born without limbs, unlike many of us who are blessed with a healthy mind and body. The book spoke of his courage, his faith journey, his belief and how he overcomes all the odds in life. Truly inspiring and encouraging book that challenged us to put our faith into action, rekindled it, and strengthened it.

Using his life as an example, he clearly demonstrated what how to live a godly life, with passion, joy, fulfilment and so much more… You have to grab this book!!!

This book will indeed cause you to look within and examine many areas of your life. I could easily finish a book in 3-5 hours. It took me 5 days to finish this book, do not be mistaken. It is not because this book is boring but much the opposite – it is interesting, humorous and thought-provoking. This Book is worth your time, money and effort to read it. It takes you on a journey of faith.

“Limitless” made an excellent gift for families and friends, enabling us to live a ridiculously good life, limitless and unstoppable! This book is not a one stop solution to all your problems. Sometimes, changing the way you think could eventually help you to solve a whole lot of problems at times. - Genevieve D
