Blue-Skinned Gods by SJ Sindu
4.75
"You have to take them before they can learn to disagree, before their brains have been hardened by the world. Get them while they are soft, and you can make them into gods."
"But I wasn't just angry at those who tried to con children into conning the world. I was also angry at the world for believing it."

LeBron by Jeff Benedict
1.75
It started out good. I liked learning about his childhood and how it was written. It spent a long time talking about high school years. Too much time. When he got into the league and beyond, i didnt like the way it was written. It was a lot about numbers and money. I wanted to know more about Lebron's personality and personal/family life.
Star Wars: Rogue Planet by Greg Bear
2.75
"It involves a kind of spacecraft rare and little seen, very expensive, of unknown manufacturer, supposedly a toy for the wealthy. It may ultimately lead to a lost planet covered by a peculiar kind of forest, very mysterious. And it may soon involve the Jedi."
"He felt as if he could see all his life laid out before him, filled with accomplishment and heroism - selfless heroism, of course, befitted a jedi. Somewhere in that life would be a woman, though jedi did not often marry. He imagined the woman to be like Queen Amidala of Naboo, a powerful personality in her own right, lovely and dignified, yet sad and shouldered with great burdens - which Anakin would help lift. He had not spoken with Amidala in years, nor of course with his mother, Shmi, but in his present frame of disciplined consciousness, their memory acted on him like a distant and ineffable music."
