- Latest Review: I'm Swimming in the Toilet... PLEASE DON'T FLUSH! by Len Foley
I am also a big fan of George R. R. Martin, Game of Thornes series. He creates this whole world that is so vivid and real. Some characters you love to hate, some you just hate, and others you start out hating and then come to love. He does a brilliant job creating these books.
Blake Crouch needs a shout out here too. He wrote Dark Matter, and it is amazingly awesome! Until the end, I hated the end, but the whole rest of the book was good enough to still make it one of my favorites!
I love James Dashner's The Maze Runner series too. He did a great job on those first three books.
I think I could spend the rest of the day talking about authors who have written amazing books!
Thanks for reading!

- Latest Review: Adrift by Charlie Sheldon
For writing style alone, it's Margaret Atwood. Her prose has more rhythm than most poets I know. Her work in "Cat's Eye" was just absolutely incredible. I read as much of her as I can because I want to write like her when I grow up
Trenton Lee Stewart is another. He has a similar kind of rhythm to Atwood, but in a funnier way.
I'll round off this list with Christopher Paolini. The Inheritance Series is a wonder even before you realize he was fifteen when he wrote it. To be honest, he's so good he ruined most other fantasy for me! It just doesn't compare. His battle scenes are more engrossing than movies.
These are my big three!
