Review: “I thought this was going to be a book of virtue and faith. Instead it was a book in which Sarah Palin puts down anybody and everybody who does not agree with her philosophies and beliefs.”

Title: “Decision Points”

Author: George W. Bush

Rank: 1

Blurb: “Shattering the conventions of political autobiography, George W. Bush offers a strikingly candid journey through the defining decisions of his life.”

Title: “Broke: The Plan to Restore Our Trust, Truth and Treasure”

Authors: Glenn Beck and Kevin Balfe

Rank: 3

Blurb: “You’ll see how everything you thought you knew about the political parties is a lie, how Democrats and Republicans alike used to fight for minimum government and maximum freedom, and how both parties have been taken over by a cancer called ‘progressivism.'”

Review: “I havent had a chance to read it yet because I just got it but I did look though it. It looks great. The pages are water marked and glossy. It even feels good in the hand. Looking forward to reading it.”

Title: “World of Warcraft: The Shattering: Prelude to Cataclysm”

Author: Christie Golden

Rank: 31

Blurb: “The spark seemed to spasm, and yet he continued on his lethal course. Thrall, grim-faced, clenched his hand hard. The spark flared defiantly, then dwindled, finally settling down to nothing more than the faintest of glowing embers. For now, he would no longer do anyone harm. The threat had ended, but Thrall was reeling.”

Review: “The Shattering answered every single question I had made, and even gave me a newfound respect for Garrosh Hellscream, a character that I had previously loathed.”

Title: “Justin Bieber: First Step 2 Forever”

Author: Justin Bieber

Rank: 49

Blurb: “Justin tells the story of his amazing journey from small-town schoolboy to global superstar.”

Review: “There’s no way to accurately convey the inherent absurdity in reading a memoir written by someone who is only 16 years old. I’m reminded of this Friedrich Nietzsche quote: ‘Gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.'”
