a very good look at what it means to be a Christian, rather than a church goer
Debated between 2 and 3 stars.
The entire book seemed to be devoted to showing that Washington was self serving and interested in how he could promote his own stature. The constitutional convention was all but skipped. There were barely any mentions of the masons and the ideals they promoted. Washington's faith in God is also presented as diminuitive.
It had many facts and seemingly more opinion. It ran long and boring (my opinion) once getting to the presidency delving deep into politics of the time - I'm sure some people love that stuff.
I would only recommend this those who are already well read and versed in the life of Washington, not someone wanting to learn.

A great look into Einstein's whole life from cradel to grave. Great insight into how he formed his theories and how his mind worked.
Despite the greatest accomplishments of his life being in his youth (thus early on in the book), the book stays interesting throughout!

debated between 2 and 3 stars. I decided on 3 because it gave me a look into a life I've never known.
The book overall to me seemed disjointed and hard to follow. It was more like a collection of experiences and thoughts thrown onto paper and not organized. It may be easier to follow on paper, but I listened to the audiobook

There are a lot of great stories of strong women when it wasn't a great time to be a woman. It's very inspirational.
My favorite person profiled was Donaldina Cameron. I'd never heard of her before, but she rescued about 3000 young girls from sex slavery over the course of her life.

I really liked reading about experiences with elephants. This book takes you deep into a troubled herd and the attempts to rehabilitate them into wild elephants
Hunt for the Skinwalker: Science Confronts the Unexplained at a Remote Ranch in Utah
Colm A. Kelleher, George Knapp
very little of this book deals with skinwalkers. The vast majority is UFOs, aliens, inter dimensional beings the paranormal, etc. The title is the literary version of clickbait.
This book is very interesting for the first half as it talks about various legends and odd occurrences.
The second half tries to find evidence of any of this and comes up empty handed, with only a few interesting parts.

4 stars minus one for very rough language.
most of this book is somewhat mundane and advancing the larger scene of the series, but there are still some very exciting parts.
without giving anything away, there is one very touching part helping to show the human side of war and survival
