The Babylonian Empire review

  Synopsis: The Babylonians were indisputably a formidable force in the ancient world’s stage, but how did they rise to power three separate times in Middle Eastern history? What led to their cataclysmic falls? And why did everyone keep stealing their chief god Marduk? Dive into the riveting stories of the remarkable Babylonians, who transformed the Middle East and left an enduring legacy. Thoroughly researched, engaging, and easy to read, this book will guide you through the fascinating history of a civilization that has left an indelible mark on our world. My review: A very thorough review of the Babylonian empire, includes some interesting facts and stories yet unfortunately was a little bit confusing and uninspiring. I felt that some parts of the book could have been written in a more clear manner. However, lots of good images and diagrams which helped to tell the history of this ancient kingdom. I particularly enjoyed the chapters about Babylonian culture and innovation - i di...

The Wire in the Blood - review

  Synopsis: Across the country, dozens of teenage girls have vanished. Authorities are convinced they're runaways with just the bad luck of the draw to connect them. It's the job of criminal profilers Dr. Tony Hill and Carol Jordan to look for a pattern. They've spent years exploring the psyches of madmen. But sane men kill, too. And when they hide in plain sight, they can be difficult to find... My review: A good crime novel that had some great twists and characters, especially Jacko Vance, a true psychopath. I really enjoyed the insight into Jacko’s life and point of view as his mind is so sick and twisted, I found it very interesting to see what motivated him. I thought most the characters, including Vance, were very well written as complex individuals However, I did think this book was a little too long and was a little boring especially in the middle, I also think that the arson storyline wasn’t needed and didn’t make a difference to the book. Another thing I’d say is ...
