Worlds Apart Story Thieves James Riley 9781481485753 Books Reviews


  • With the fictional and non-fictional worlds now separate, Owen finds he has lost his imagination, not that he can imagine how that would be a problem. However, when Kara shows up and takes him 5 years into the future, he sees how things have devolved. Meanwhile, Bethany’s fictional half is enjoying her new life until her father is shot by a mysterious ray gun. What is Nobody’s plan doing? Can Owen and Bethany stop him?

    If this isn’t making sense to you, don’t jump in here. This is the final book in the series, and it builds on everything that came before it. However, fans who have read the previous four books in the series will be delighted. We get another wild, fast paced ride. Almost all the characters we’ve met along the way are back for this book as well, and I loved seeing them all again. The climax is wonderful and wraps up the series well. Along with the fun and some meta laughs, we get some interesting thoughts on the importance of both imagination and reality.
  • As usual, Story Thieves doesn't disappoint! The book was amazing- just like all the other books in the series! The book related back to the story Owen wrote back in Secret Origins, adding the right touch to the plot. A well written and interesting book overall, highly recommended !
  • The 5th installment of the Story Thieves series was incredible! I bought the book as soon as possible, reading immediately, and finished it soon after. The book was very entertaining! The main characters and their friends were taken on an adventure they couldn't have even dreamed of. Literally. There was action, magic, and thrill following Owen and Bethany through another fantastic journey! It more than passed my expectations for the final book and raised my imagination of what can be possible.
  • Our hardcover had extra chapters and missing chapters. At first, my son and I thought it was Nobody's trick, so we read the duplicate chapters very carefully to look for differences. We compared notes and decided, nah, it was just a misprint. We were desperate to read it, so I ordered it on and we carried on. Around that same time, it just so happened that James Riley was in town for a book signing event, so I messaged him and asked if he would sign our misprint. He seemed a bit surprised, but said yes and nicely offered us a replacement. When we got to the signing, he signed both books and added a bit of artwork to the misprint. It made my son's day! (Mine, too, if I'm being honest.) The misprint is now on our bookshelf with the rest of the series, waiting for the day my daughter picks it up to read. My son and I have a bet going to see how long it takes her to figure out it's a misprint. It's a prank long in the making, but well worth it. This is hands down one of the best series out there, with a phenomenal final book.
  • I liked the entire series, but this book is better. I loved the showdown at the end. This story made me care for the characters, but Owen I feel this is centered around. This series is defiantly one of my favorites. If you’re reading this, I want a copy of Kiel Gnomenfoot and the Source of Magic! Hopefully you liked this book and series too, and check out James Riley’s collection!
  • Oh my goodness. Where do I start???? It was ALL so good! I can't really say much without spoiling anything.The ending was amazing, much like the story Owen wrote in Secret Orgins. All in all, a totally AMAZING book!!!!!!!!!!!
  • Really loved reading this book and it is just great. Absolutely recommend.
  • My son has been reading this series and I've been purchasing one at a time as he's read through then. He was super excited to get this final book, jumped right into reading it, only to discover several chapters were missing and others were printed twice. Not so great for a story line! That copy has been returned and a new one ordered. Hoping it was just a bad copy.

Refractions A Journey of Faith Art and Culture Makoto Fujimura Tim Keller 9781600063015 Books Reviews


  • This beautiful book consists of refined blog posts written by Fujimura on a number of topics related to faith, art, and culture. Because these chapters started as blogs, the tone is more reflective, which is perfect for a book on art. Readers wanting strong definitions on what art is and straightforward answers about how Christians should relate to art will be frustrated, but I found Refractions to be very helpful for my own understanding of art and culture. Fujimura is a talented and gracious writer, and the book includes photos of some of his artwork. For my brief review on this book and most of the books out there on Christianity and the arts, see theologyforreallife.com/artsbooks
  • As I read "Refractions" I began to see the world through a lens I often miss in my hurry toward the next project, the next meeting, the next task. Fujimura reminded me to slow down, see the world of God's design and creation through the eyes of an artist and follower of Jesus, and learn to appreciate the various ways God speaks to us today.

    The art and the artistry of words in this simple volume will resonate with anyone seeking to find God in the busyness of our world. "Refractions" continues to remind me not to be in a hurry, to slow down, and to listen to God's voice in the everyday world.
  • The reader's first impression of this book will certainly come from its presentation. The publisher (NavPress) spared no thought in creating a beautiful over sized quality paperback with color reproductions of the author's and other artist's work. I was drawn first to thumb through the book, taking glimpses or tastes of the book before ever sitting down to read it.

    Fujimura is an American artist using Japanese-style painting, honored in Japan and the US. In 1992 he was the youngest artist to have a piece acquired by the Museum of Contemporary Art in Tokyo. The subtitle of his book is "A Journey of Faith, Art, and Culture." A better word would be journal rather than journey as the relatively short meditations reflect a personal thought process rather than a thorough treatment. This qualifier in no way discounts the value of the book, but it would more accurately reflect what it is.

    The backdrop of these reflections is Ground Zero where the artist lives. This is the reflective mirror by which these chapters are written. Art as a means of peacemaking is a major theme though any creative reader will find some thing to mull over. Not to be read quickly, the book invites time and reflection, a soaking in of the reality of the presence and importance of art in our daily living. For the Christian this book will open eyes to the gracious gift of creativity which needs to be recognized and valued in the church. A creative artistic interpretation of da Vinci's Last Supper toward the end of the book was riveting and thought provoking. "The greatest message imbedded in the painting--that Judas, the seed of betrayal, is in all of us (153)."

    During the '80's Fujimura experienced a "transfer of allegiance from Art to Christ which he recounts in "River Grace." Tasting this book draws me to search out his memoir as well.

    Great quotes
    "What makes us truly human may not be how fast we are able to accomplish a task but what we experience fully, carefully, and quietly in the process (27)."
    "My art reaches for the heavenly reality via earthly materials (28)."
    "All of earth is 'ground zero' in that our failures and conflicts invade every aspect of our experience, leaving scars (61)."
    "Art is an inherently hopeful act, an act that echoes the creativity of the Creator (69)."
    "We need more creative visionaries who would dare even to plant seedlings in stone that will mature into trees whose roots will crack open the rock, as if it were a mere egg, spilling its shalom dirt into the hearts of a city (127)."
  • In this collection of personal essays, artist Makoto Fujimura engages the reader by offering his concerns for, and purposes in, creating works of art as a person of faith. His discussion of material, procedural and spiritual concerns for making art in the 21st century outline with illuminating contours the basic concerns of all artists trying to take responsibility for their work in the face of the many joys and sorrows that humankind faces, and what the expression of those things mean to the culture of our time. Fujimura offers this thoughtful, meditative and readable collection for anyone interested in understanding his work, and more broadly, the work of all contemporary artists of faith. A collection worth reading.
  • For any Faith Driven Artist reading how Mako's faith drives his creative life is pure nourishment. I'm using this book kind of like a devotional, where I read and ruminate on one chapter a day.
  • This book was spiritual CPR to my writer's dying heart! The essays inspired me to remember why art, faith, and culture are so very, very important. Beautiful.
  • I first discovered the writing of Makoto Fujimura when he had an article in IMAGE A Journal of the Arts and Religion. His essay was one of several written by people of faith in response to 9/11. Since that time I have explored his work as an artist and found his "Refractions" nourishing and thought provoking. It is a gift to have his early essays/blogs in this single volume and I hope that it will be the first of other collections of his "Refractions." This book is beautifully laid out and the artwork sensitively placed. The restoration of beauty to art and to conversations about those things that are central to people of faith has been one positive thing that has come to us out of the ashes of 9/11

Wolf Pack A Joe Pickett Novel Book 19 eBook C J Box Reviews


  • I have read all 19 Joe Pickett novels and have recommended the series to a lot of people, but this is the last. The body count has just grown way too high and too gratuitous in such a violent world as ours has become. While I embrace poetic license, this is just more than I can tolerate.
  • “Wolf Pack” is C. J. Box at his absolute best. I thought the long-running series was in decline after “Vicious Circle” and “The Disappeared.” But this latest book represents a full turnaround. Most readers will finish this compelling novel in one or two sittings.

    Its plot is intricate, relentless, and up-date; the good guys are nuanced; and the villains come in various forms—some plain evil, others merely contemptible. No surprise then that there’s lots of violence in the story. But killing—whether of animals or people—always has consequences in Joe Pickett’s world.
  • C. J. Box never disappoints with his series. I have read all 19 books in the Joe Pickett series and always preorder the next one as soon as it becomes available, I hope there are many more to come. When you start reading this novel you can’t put it down, I just received it today and read the entire book. I would highly recommend this book to all, but especially to those who hunt and enjoy the great outdoors. Can’t wait for the next one to see how he tops this one. C.J. Box is one of my favorite authors.
  • My review of “Wolf Pack” came a little more slowly, and with more deliberation than I normally give. This is because I got the Audible edition at the same time I bought the edition.

    STAND-ALONE It can be read as a stand-alone, but the greatest appreciation will come for devotees of the series.

    CLIFFHANGER. No. Although there surely will be more Pickett novels, this does not end with a cliffhanger.

    If I were to rate this only based on the Audible narration, I’d be hard-pressed to rate it four stars, as the writing comes across as just a bit too much of an info dump. However, when I read the version, the info dump is much more invisible, so I am rating it more highly.

    WRITING & EDITING Professional. The flow is good, and the historical bits are interesting. Sometimes the inter-agency tension seems too drawn out, but, as someone who has witnessed just how antagonistic the various factions within the federal and state agencies can be, it had the feeling of authenticity.

    BLUSH FACTOR The number of eff words is more than you’ll want to read with your prayer group, probably, but it is not excessive for most folks. Certainly not for me. I mention it only for those for whom it might annoy.

    No graphic sex, but some of the violence might disturb a few readers. I appreciated the realistic portrayal, though.

    BOTTOM LINE

    I enjoyed this murder mystery and consider it a fine Action-Adventure.
  • Much of the storyline was illogical, with inaccurate statistics that were used to justify FBI activities. The body count, and the level of mayhem made this book extremely distasteful.
  • Never read a Pickett book that wasn't five stars worthy, and this one is definitely worth five and more, if they were available. Joe is not the normal easy going Game Warden he normally portrays, as he and Nate are more in the justice mode. You will find yourselves wondering when the morbid stories will cease and tell retaliation will begin. Don't give up yet, as the fun will soon begin!
    There are many different aspects to Wolf Pack than most of the Pickett series contain, but the storylines, and the bad characters, are just as devious as all other stories have been. I have to admit some stories go far beyond Joe's normal restraints, but hang in there and you will enjoy each and every exciting episode as they begin to fall in place.
    Without hesitation, I definitely recommend this exciting masterpiece by the mastermind.behind the Joe Pickett series, Mr. C. J. Box. He certainly has had the uncanny ability to release nineteen exciting masterful performances of this series, most all of them were five star masterpieces! Fortunately I have had the opportunity to read each and every one of them in order. I anxiously await the next exciting adventure, although I know it will be at least a year before it will arrive! If you don't buy this outstanding story, the loss will definitely be yours!😤
  • "...the wolf, which hunts in a pack, has a greater chance of survival than the lion, which hunts alone. - Christian Lous Lange

    I love this series and I love this author. I've read almost everything written by him, including all of this lengthy series, and he never disappoints (and I'm working on catching up on the couple of books I've missed after I finish this review). Wyoming happens to be one of my favorite states too so that adds a lot of appeal.

    This is book #19 in the Joe Pickett series about Game Warden Joe Pickett of the Wyoming Fish and Game Department. Joe has his job back (after losing it temporarily in book #18) with the help of former Wyoming Governor Rulon acting as his attorney. And actually he gained some great benefits during the process.

    In this tale, Joe ends up working with a female game warden from the next District over trying to track down an illegal drone operator who is harming wildlife. They get help from his falconer best friend Nate Romanowski.

    Added into the mix are the FBI, the DOJ and some dangerous out-of-towners.

    If you've enjoyed Box's other books, you'll surely love this one. Box is a consistently fine author and I highly recommend this latest book.

    I'm off now to read SHOTS FIRED, a collection of ten short stories based in Joe Pickett's world, that I somehow missed before this.

"This volume doesn't pick up where volume 7 left off, it's gathering previously published (but uncollected) material. I wouldn't call it "filler" because I appreciated the context about the ending of previous pantheons in the first half of the book. The second half is less essential, but still worth reading for fans of the series.

  • It's true that this volume collects single-issue specials that have been released one at a time over the entire life of the comic. This was not a surprise to anyone who was reading single issues, as it has always been discussed in the letters section, but I understand that it might take someone aback if they're reading just the trades. It may seem like a pointless diversion, but I promise it's not.

    This volume is not skippable. It may not be immediately clear why you need some of the information present here, but I promise that you will--otherwise some of the events of the final volume will absolutely not make any sense.
    This trade collects six things four "historical" specials with stories centering on or involving Lucifers past, taking place during recurrences from 455AD, 1373, 1831, and 1923; the Christmas Annual #1; and The Funnies.

    The historical specials are presented here in chronological order, though not in the order they were initially published. There is a guide in the introduction about when to read them, if you'd like to experience them in the order that they came out during the story. This isn't an essential way to approach it, but it does fit in very nicely with certain twists and reveals in the comic. For instance, the 1923 special originally followed the end of Volume 6, Imperial Phase Part II. The very last two pages of that volume contain a major series twist, which is then referenced in the 1923 recurrence. It's fun to see it play out that way, but again, not essential to experience in that order. And again these specials contain vital information for the final volume of the comic, "Okay." My favorite special 1923, a mix of comic and prose which is also about a struggle between "high art" and "low art." It was really interesting diving into the message being delivered in the high art/low art mixed media presentation itself, the events themselves lead directly into how the first issue of the comic opened, and identifying the historical pop-culture figures represented by all of the gods was a lot of fun.

    The Christmas Annual is a handful of short vignettes taking place during the modern recurrence showing scenes that the creators didn't have the space or means to get to naturally while telling the story. This is less essential than the historical issues, but does flesh out character backstories in an interesting way that I didn't think was a waste of time. Finally, the Funnies special is a series of short humorous stories that aren't canonical and are just for fun. My favorites are showing how Laura broke her phone screen (reacting badly to some of author Kieron Gillen's tweets), and how Matt Wilson was hired as colorist (under dire threat from Gillen and artist Jamie McKelvie).

    To wrap back around, I guess an argument could be made that the Christmas Annual and the Funnies special are totally skippable; one doesn't seem to be absolutely vital but is still worth reading, while the other is non-canonical anyway, but very silly and fun. But for real they are releasing this as volume 8 for a reason. The historical specials contain information that would have been a spoiler if they had been released before any other volumes, and absolutely contain information necessary to understand some of the events of volume 9. Not skippable.
  • This volume doesn't pick up where volume 7 left off, it's gathering previously published (but uncollected) material. I wouldn't call it "filler" because I appreciated the context about the ending of previous pantheons in the first half of the book.

  • 2.5 stars

    This has 4 stories from previous pantheons (end of Rome, black plague, the 1830s, and the roaring 20s). The Rome and Plague stories are very good. The tales about Rome and the plague are very good. The roaring 20s piece is mostly prose (thick and overflowing, it is a chore to read through).

    At the back of the book is a Christmas special with filler panels that detail some of the sexual relationships between pantheon members (fine). The funnies book has a couple of decent moments. I didn't like the Scooby Doo story, but I did appreciate the concept and the art.

    Completists will want to read this, but if you are tight on money, you can skip this and just wait for the next volume, in which the series will conclude.
  • Great story and artwork
  • The people who have negatively reviewed this trade have clearly missed the point. While the Christmas and Funnies specials are goofy and nonessential, the period pieces are INCREDIBLY important to the story. Coming from someone who reads the serialized comics, if you don’t read this before the next trade, you will be very confused.
  • Do you enjoy fillers? Waited 6 months for the next volume to come out for nothing but backstory and heavy novel-esque comic book? Than look no further than this latest volume in a great series. What a waste of time and money.... Welp, guess it'll be another half a year before I hopefully get something worth the wait. Worst Volume yet, Skip this one, trust me...you can wait til the next one.

Sam is after a serial killer who has eluded everyone for a long time, and even the Windlass Team is coming up empty. Out of desperation, he agrees to work with a young man who is considered a genius, but one of those who is so close to the line between genius and insanity that he is carefully controlled by a contracted agency that watches over them for the government.

That leads to the discovery that not everything at the facility is as it seems, and things take a dark turn when Sam comes to realize that the young man is being abused and used. Now it's up to Sam and his team to get to the bottom of it.

"Sam Pritchard and Windlass Security are now authorized to assist all federal agencies with investigations. For an investigation, they are joined by Eric, a "consultant" who has been incarcerated in a special hospital for genius children who have committed crimes. Eric did some hacking, which caused him to be there. However, his true gifts to the investigation are his incredible reading speed (5,000 wpm) and quick analytical skills. His negatives are that he is a child, ripped from his mother at age 11 and not having seen her since.

Sam and the others see something special in Eric and, since he helps solve their first case in one day, they decide to keep him for the balance of the three days they had to pay for and let him help on some other things. As they get to know and bond with Eric, they discover that North Forest Hospital, where Eric was held, may not be a healthy or happy place for anyone. They keep finding cases so they can keep Eric and start plans in motion to keep him as a permanent part of the team.

NFH does not want one of its "consultants" to be free on the outside. They use all sorts of medical care, minors' information and security claims to try to stop Eric from being permitted to stay with Windlass and to stop Sam and his team at Windlass from investigating them. Things spiral out of control with NFH as Sam and Windlass find ways to help Eric cope with being out of a severely controlled environment while looking for ways to get NFH investigated.

This book starts with a gallop and charges through to a racing pace by the finish. I highly recommend it for other adrenaline-driven story junkies. You'll have a smile on your face the whole way through!"

  • I have read all of these books in the Sam Prichard series and I did not care for this one at all. Indie, was part of the first 19 books and was left out of this book because of pretending to be fighting with her? No Beauregard either! Way way too much detail and this is the first time I found myself skipping pages. Never never thought I would not like a Sam Prichard series book. Sorry David but you had good intentions I guess as readers would hate having people in a hospital ruining kid’s lives for greed and money, but there was too much overkill in detailing everything. I just hope you return to the way the first 19 were written with #21.
  • This book was boring. It was as if it had been written by somebody else. I would prefer to see Sam go back to being a private eye working from home with his wife and some assistance from her mother. Get back to basics with the sam prichard mysteries. Forget about windlass security and the hangers on. Sam is great working for himself. The character has lost his personality. Come on. David. You can do much better than this.
  • “Killer Genius” is Book #20 in the ‘Sam Prichard’ series. This time, Sam and Company bring on a troubled teen who is a genius - Eric - to help uncover a serial murderer.

    Eric is a permanent resident at a local hospital that caters to teenage geniuses whose specialized talents are utilized, as Consultants, by various policing agencies during their investigations. In addition to being highly functioning, Eric is also very troubled and subject to bouts of depression and sudden outbursts.

    “Killer Genius” shows ‘the human side’ of Sam and his Windlass Investigators. They are gradually able to earn Eric’s trust and, in return, get an invaluable investigator.

    A must read for all the ‘Sam Pritchard’ fans.
  • This is unputdownable story. It climaxed a bit too quickly and abruptly ended. Don't know if its intentionally abrupt or a deadline issue but it certainly leaves a chasm wide storyline for more stories to come. Genius young adults, cyber criminals, government sanctioned weapons research and redacted files no one can read but when Sam Pritchard decided to hire one of the interred 'consultants' he gets way more than he bargained or needed. Terrified young adults with no social skills and IQs off the charts. Windows Security suspects more than abuse is at the core of this facility when they find they have a mole.
  • Another strong story by Mr. Archer. Sam and the Windlass team who joined after the tragedy in his life run across a case they just could not solve. Well they called in a special consultant who happened to be a genius. After solving more cases then usual they decide they would like to keep the consultant (Eric) permanently. However, as Eric begins to open up, the gang finds out that something sinister is going on at the Hospital where the consultants come from. Needless to say, the crew get caught up in their egular cases as well as investigate the consultant mystery.
