Review of The Ultimate Guide to Anal Sex for Women by Tristan Taormino

The Ultimate Guide to Anal Sex for Women by Tristan Taormino

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Disclosure:
It would be a surprise to have such a book in my shelves, I mean since it was designed for women, but I manage to call that book a sexual guide to Anal sex. I choose to have it since Tristan Taormino decides to make sexual education go toward a healthy and happy sexual life. I have this book in eBook format.

My Plot:
"I have to say from the first that I am going to be so open, so please don't get offended". In the beginning of the book Tristan took the subject of "Anal Sex" from a social and religious point of view. She made some researches about sodomy and why it was forbidden according to the three religions, she discusses the social point of view of "Anal Sex" from different dimensions, than she moves to her confessions, she said that she "went crazy the time someone put a finger in her anus" - Sorry for this expressions but it's a quotation from the book. Tristan than.. decides to make some explorations to this orifice, actually the information that she states about anal orifice were so amazing. In the upcoming chapters, she discusses several matters that relates to this subject including Enemas, Anal plays and Beads, Dildos, and what is the right way to use them. In addition some recommendations for the best positions to this "Anal sex" - So sorry again for the explicit language - The last thing she spoke of is "Fisting" - Oh again - in addition to some testimonies made by people who practice this act.

Positive and Negative Aspects:
The Guide to Anal Sex is a kind of new form of books. So it would be surprising for the reader to find some quotes about "Anal Sex" at the margins of each page, or find out some written experience about people who practice this act, The photographs inside the book were so classical, and they get to the point. Another amazing thing was that Tristan were so hard working to bring the idea that "Anal Sex is not a sin, so according to her, it's a sexual enjoyment that everybody need to explore it, and benefit from its pleasure.

My Personal View:
I want to say that I am still a "Virgin" and I don't feel the shame of it at all. "May be I consider it as Chastity" But I would love to say that these kind of books are quite stranger to me, the fact is that I benefit a lot from the experiences inside the book; and I hold my position as a beneficent from these references, but the main point that I see Tristan insisting on is "Lubrication". Actually this word is running through the whole of book. Meaning that without lubrication there would be no pleasure, "That's what I have in mind from this book". Apart from this I hold no objection toward the contents inside that book at all, and that's the reason why I put all these five in the voting block.

Recommendations:
The Book is a sexual reference, so it is forbidden for the people under the age of puberty to have it, due to its explicit language and direct images that demonstrate the "Anal Subject". Apart from this, the book is so useful in order to benefit from its information on the subject of "Healthy Sex".

Review of "The Torah: The Five Books of Moses" (Sacred Text)

The Torah: The Five Books of Moses by Anonymous

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Disclosure:
This book was a part of my study in the Jewish tradition, Actually it helps me understand the main pillars of believing in the Jewish religion. And it was also the reason why I develop somehow my Hebrew. The book I am reviewing is translated to English, I don't read it in Hebrew. And here is my point of view upon it.

The General Idea:
The Torah consist of five books, Bereshit, Shemoth, Vayiqra, Bamidbar, Devarim. These five books contains all the events of life that happens to Jews during the leadership of Moses (PBUH). It contains also the recommendations and the forbidden thing that were imposed upon Jews during the period of Moses as a prophet. Inside the Torah there is a mention of several prophets that were behind Moses... The list is very long that's why I don't have to state it.

Amazing Facts about Torah:
Pending on the knowledge I have to this religion, Torah is very sacred, and in order to touch it, you have to be clean, besides, you have to wear that Kippah, and the praying shawl called Tallit. It is not allowed to touch Torah with your hand, the reader will use a "Yad" fabricated from wood in order to follow the reading of the holy script.
Since the Torah is written in a very old Hebraic language, most people find it difficult to understand, luckily Jews may use another form of Torah which simplified. It's called "Talmud" or "The oral Torah", most of "Talmud" contents are the interpretations of Moses to the "Written Torah".
"Torah" recommend Jews to abide by "Gods' laws" in order to became "Tsadikim" meaning "True Believers". "God" have a lot of name inside "the Torah" including "Akadosh Baruchu" "Elohim" "Elokay"... Jews avoid writing the name of God completely, fearing from the sin of Falsification and disrespect of God's name.

My Personal View:
Referring to the book I am reviewing, "The Five Books of Moses" gave me a deep knowledge of how the Jewish religion is. For the moment I am convinced that Jews were ordered to love everybody no matter his race is. and to choose peace and tolerance as the right path for their life. Besides, the proverbs and the teachings of Moses were so meaningful. Now I have a profound knowledge on the Jewish Tradition by virtue of this nice book.

Recommendations:
You have to bear in mind that this is a sacred text, so there is no need to tell about your negative comments.. because I am really astonished to see people voting 1 out of 5 or 3 out of 5. It's like they are reviewing some D.H. Lawrence books.

Review of Memoria. A Corporation of Lies by Alex Bobl

Memoria. A Corporation of Lies by Alex Bobl

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Disclosure:
Actually this is the first time I win a book as a gift from the Writer himself. Alex Bobl gave me the chance to explore his talent in writing. And here I am, reviewing his nice work. The version I am reviewing is in English. and I have it in a Kindle Version.

My Plot:
I hope that I am not so spoiler to break the surprise of the reader, but my Plot will go like this: In a Bombed New York, Frank Shelby coming from DC to New York for a personal visit to his girlfriend Kathleen Baker, the scientist of Memoria - the corporation that helped people to erase their mind from the past events of War. At the airport Frank had been forced to take the cab of a bald man, but fortunately he was saved by his allergy against the Leather. He took another cab heading toward his apartment, Kathleen was waiting him there. She tells him that she has a secret that he needs to know. Arriving to the apartment, Frank finds Kathleen dead in his bed, and here starts the story. Police catch him, he was accused of several crimes including Terrorist attacks and Manslaughter. During the interrogation by the police, a group of armed guys breaks in the Police station trying to kidnap Shelby but he breaks free heading to the post office to get Kathleen's hard disk. The operation passed successfully, and Frank got the Hard Disk; fleeting from another attempt of kidnapping by the bald heads group. Frank heads toward his coach Max, and seeks help from his part. Max consult Barney for a solution to open this hard disk. Now the three heroes have to lead a war against Memoria in order to know the secret project that Kathleen wants to reveal. Through an enormous adventures, Barney was caught by Memoria's security team, Max had been killed in the migrants camp. Frank and Maggie continues the battle in order to discover the mysterious vaccination project of Memoria, and to show the corruption that dominate the Corporation Plan.

Positive and Negative Aspects:
I know that I shrink the plot so much but I do it for purpose, I have to let the reader find out what's going out inside the story. Speaking of positive sides, I would admit that this is the first science fiction I read in my life, It discusses the relation between Humans and New Technology, corruption and domination also were present in the story. It was simple and the events go smooth, The writer shares all his knowledge in the subject of science and military with the reader, and that's quite obvious through his depiction of Memoria and the techniques used inside this company to erase people's mind. Another nice aspect was the clever depiction of New York, the writer gave New York a depiction as if he is a permanent resident inside it. Besides the description of the migrants camp was so professional. Actually it was a nice combination between Realism, Science and Technology. The Time and the Past were a very valuable elements to understand the events of the story. Many would wonder why I don't state any negative aspect, my answer would be so simple, I enjoy this science fiction and I don't face any frustration from it.

My Personal View:
Inside the story I enjoy two things simultaneously, I explore the sights of New York and the nice places inside it without getting a visa to see it. And the second thing I enjoy was the talent of the writer in writing. Actually this Science fictions makes me believe that the Russians have been given a talent from God to improve the quality of Literature. I assume that reading this story made my time all enjoyment, especially when I stop in the scenes of fighting and Military missions. Finally all I have to say is to wish a good continuation to the writer in his career. Because for me, writing a science fiction and a techno thriller is not that simple task as we think. The writer have to keep the reader excited and to bring him out from boredom to a new world just through the words. So summing up all the review. The story was amazing and worth being read again and again. I hope that It would be made in a movie, I am sure the story will get the approval of all viewers.

Recommendations:
Before to start reading, the reader should bear in mind that all the events inside the story are fictitious, so there is no need to interpret it to the present events. Apart from this, the story is simple and the events are so smooth, so all I wish you is a good reading.

Review of "Quran" (Sacred Text)

The Quran by Anonymous

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Disclosure:
Actually I have been aware so much when I put the "Quran" in my shelves especially when a lot of changes have been made in the section of name. Actually there was an ideological conflict between whether to classify the Author as "Anonymous" - According to Goodreads Policy - or as "God Almighty" - according to Muslims inside the website - I download this Quran from the link provided in Goodreads. I read it in Arabic, and here is the result.

The General Idea:
"The Quran" as a holy book to Muslims, contains 114 "Sourah", and each "Sourah" take hold of a certain matter in the life of "Mohammed Peace Be Upon Him", "the Quran" is written in an old Arabic dialect called "Banou Asad" dialect. The most long Chapter in the Quran is "Al Baqara" and the short one is "Al Kawtar". The most important idea in the Quran circumnavigate in the "Loneliness of God", as an independent King and God of Heaven and Earth. Quran contains also some stories of old prophets who came before "Mohammed". The obvious example we have is the Chapter of "Youssef". There are also some stories of famous Prophets including Moses, Jesus, Sodom and Gomorrah and so on and so forth....

Amazing Facts for the Reader:
The first advantage for the reader is that Quran is easy and had been translated to several Language, so there would no obstacles in understanding the meaning of it. Besides, Quran mentions all the prophets and all the religion with respect, there were no negative perception to any Religion, and several question could be answered just from the Quran itself.

My Personal View:
I do not want to give my view concerning this book, because it would create so much chaos, My only feeling toward this "Holy Book" is respect and nothing after it, because as reviewers we should be very aware to offend the feeling of Billions of Muslims world wide.

Recommendations:
If you are an Arabic speaker, than there would be no obstacles in Understanding it, you are lucky than... But for foreigners, feel free to contact me in case you don't understand a chapter in it. And finally I wish you all a good reading.

Review of The dirty little eBook of sex quotes by Mark Zedler

The dirty little eBook of sex quotes by Mark Zedler

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Disclosure:
Actually I am feeling honored to be the first reviewer of this book in Goodreads. I get the free copy of this eBook in Goodreads too, actually I feel proud to review such a work.

General Plan:
The book is a collection of all the quotes that have been said in the "World of Sex". From what I read in the writer description, he is so much devoted to "Sex". The outlining of the book is so amazing... The Reader can go through every aspect just from the Glossary. But the ultimate amazing aspect is that the writer went from the simple question of what is sex? to the last aspect of truism.

Positive and Negative Aspects:
The book actually was amazing, the layout, the simple English, and the arrangement of quotes each one in its section.. all these aspects shows the skill of writer to organize a nice work. But I am a little annoyed in the section of Porn stars, I see only very few quotes mostly told by Jenna Jameson and some others, I wonder what if the writer forgot about Shelley Luben or Sacha Grey and their wonderful quotes in this subject. Anyway I have to be supportive and wish to the writer a good continuation.

My Personal View:
I benefit from a lot of thing in this book, at least I explore the thinking of several personalities in this subject of Sex, but what makes me laugh was the explicit language of Barbara Bush and Kenneth Starr, in the section of politics. So summing up all this, we should be grateful to the writer for being so hard working in this sensual subject.

Recommendations:
I wouldn't be so talkative, but I hardly recommend this book to people over the age of puberty, because they will get excited especially by the photos inside the Book.

Review of Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll

Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Disclosure:
I have been waiting for the moment to review this nice piece of work, written by Lewis Carroll, and now since it's been apart, each volume is independent from the other I find my burden to say a word about this novel. I have an eBook from feedbook, the part of Through the looking Glass will be reviewed soon enough.

My Plot:
The Story begin with Alice setting with her Young Sister, enjoying the nature and sweet air when a white rabbit passed through, Alice followed him, they pass through a hole, Alice get excited by tracking the white rabbit to the world of Wonderland, she found a room with a golden key and a bottle saying "Drink Me", she drink the bottle but she forget to take the key that open the door of the Wonderland. After some hard tries to get to this wonderland, Alice feels lonely and despair. She met an old rat, and asks for his help, the Rat takes her to dry out, and from here begins the adventures of Alice in the wonderland. Adventure that actually devour against loneliness and hopelessness, mystery and knowledge. The end goes like this... After Alice gave her testimony in the court for the case of who ate the cakes, Alice begin to grow up inside the court, and hence she finds herself asleep, and that everything that has happened was actually a dream.

Positive and Negative aspects:
Alice adventures in Wonderland was just an account written by Lewis Carroll to a small ill girl, but it grows to be a world heritage in English Literature. The main positive aspect I get - as a reader - is that I get familiar with the creatures inside the story. Now I know what is meant by "the Griffin", "the Big Torture", and "the Marsh Hare", and several mysterious creatures. besides, I enjoyed reading the poetry and songs that used to be a part of the English Heritage. Another positive aspect was that the story of Alice goes through stages, so that every chapter is connected to what it precede and what will comes next.

My Personal Reaction:
the First personal view that I would like to express is that the story was really amazing, I enjoyed reading the adventures of Alice with the mysterious creature including "the Cheshire Cat" and "Mad Hatter".. It was really amazing to explore the cultural heritage of England and what they used to believe in. Even if the story was meant to be read by Children, I as a grown up man share the same feeling of Children when they read this nice piece of Literature.

Recommendations:
I hear that this story was banned in China due to its personification of Characters acting in the same level of Human, and thus I recommend readers to just bear in mind that this work was only for the sake of Enjoyment, it was not a criticizing work of any purpose. I may recommend a dictionary to look for the meaning of the Mysterious Creatures if you are not accustomed to the English culture, "Have a Good Reading".

Review of Encyclopedia of Social and Cultural Anthropology by Alan Barnard

Encyclopedia of Social and Cultural Anthropology by Alan Barnard

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Disclosure:
I would love to say that this Encyclopedia was my key to the world of Anthropology, and it was also the gate that makes me love this Human science. I own an Electronic book by Routledge.

Overview:
This encyclopedia shed light to a vague amount of the world culture. It explore culture from different perspective. Most discussed subjects are mainly in the Aboriginal Australian, American Culture from different dimensions, North African and Middle Eastern culture, Eastern European and Asian culture.
The Encyclopedia shed light also to some political issues including Marxism and Capitalism, the Role of Republic and its difference from all sorts of governing systems.

Positive and Negative Aspects:
The main positive side that I admit; is that this Encyclopedia take hold of all Knowledge and researches performed in this Domain. Also the reader may encounter several names that used to implement Anthropology and Archaeology from different aspects. The Reader may also come in touch with the History of Anthropology and the Changes that undergo this Science, and what makes it as an Academic subject in the Universities.

My Personal View:
When I start reading, I was completely confused, especially that Each entries looks independent from the other, but when I get accustomed with the name of Anthropologists and their main objectives in this science, I get excited to know more about Malinowski, Spencer and Gillen, and Radcliffe Brown. Actually the success of this science was behind understanding the whole world culture; and the main key to avoid discrimination and prejudgments.

Recommendations:
I don't love being so ruling, but I recommend you to read some details about Anthropology and Its objectives than you can accustomed with this Encyclopedia. The language used in the book is simple, but the only obstacles that may confuse is the name of science that ends by "gy" here you must look for what are the objectives of this word.

Review of Encyclopedia of Educational Psychology by Neil J. Salkind

Encyclopedia of Educational Psychology by Neil J. Salkind

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Disclosure:
I admit having an electronic copy of this Encyclopedia, with its two volumes, with a nice quality script. I am looking forward to have the Hardcover soon enough.

Overview:
The encyclopedia of Educational Psychology is a big effort from scholars who have been in touch with this subject long time, In fact it is the result of many Psychologist and Pedagogues. Most of the terms that dominates this encyclopedia relates to the field of Psychology and Paranormal behavior; Education and Learning techniques. I really consider myself as lucky having this Psychological reference for my future Career.

Positive and Negative Aspects:
Most of the times. Encyclopedias have a unified form of Organizing. So it's easy to get to targeted information just from the alphabetical listing, in my case I find it simple to check from the Bookmarks in the PDF Reader. So there is no standard of getting lost inside the information held in the encyclopedia. One thing that amazed me is that each entry has a connection to another one. Actually it makes the whole contents related to each other indirectly.

My Personal Reaction:
Personally I keep this encyclopedia as a reference for all my doubts and researches. Generally it worth having it as a source of information for all the psychological terms. It also worth being as a guide for educational matters. that's why I put 5 stars on it.

Recommendations:
The Encyclopedia is written in simple language with a nice clarification for all the terms held inside, so I would only recommend having a dictionary with you in case if you encounter a new word stranger from your past Knowledge.
