Kimmie Sue's Book Review & MoreTop Contributor: Nail Art

This was a nice little book. Really well written in so full of knowledge.

October 9, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

This was a nice little book. Really well written in so full of knowledge. I love a collection of stories and this was great. I normally read romance but this book was suggested to me and I am so glad I read it this is a collection of murder mystery and historical as well.
You kind of got a small history lesson with this book. There are things that I didn't even know about Tesla that are in this book. I really enjoyed the historical more so than the murder mystery. But that was good too I was so worried about doing this review and letting something go I normally review each individual story but I think I'll leave that a mystery to you. First one is about a murder of a record executive and man did that one shock me. The second book is this store is called the death ray mystery about Tesla’s death ray and how the Russians may have stolen it. But man it was fun to read. Then there are small stories about Kennedy, Tesla, Edison and so many others, that gave you lots of history lessons. I really enjoyed this book and I hope you do too.
Now before I ruin this for you I will leave off here. I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did. If you do like this book, please consider leaving a review. The Authors really like it when you do; they value your opinions too

Odd Combination, but Wonderful Writing

October 6, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I found this selection of various short stories from Rich DiSilvio very enjoyable! His writing is excellent across the board, and he does an amazing job with details that really help the stories feel more realistic. I thought this was kind of an odd combination of genres, but that actually made me love the book even more. I really enjoy multiple genres, so this book was a gold mine for me. I loved that it included thought-provoking mystery to keep me on the edge of my seat as well as accurate historical fiction that actually taught me a few things that I didn’t know beforehand. It is a slightly bizarre, but excellent collection of stories. I really enjoyed taking a break from reading longer novels and just diving into story after story in this book. Although, I am really looking forward to checking out some of DiSilvio’s other books now. I definitely suggest this author and think the collection in this book is a great place to start.

The Entertaining Twighlight Zone of History

July 3, 2018

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

If you like history and the Twilight Zone, you’ll enjoy Rich DiSilvio’s alternate timeline myster masterpiece, Short Stories, a truly literary compilation of short narratives that range from the thoughtful to the macabre.

I’ve read a few of DiSilvio’s other works, and I must say he is truly an informative artisan of detailed historical fiction, crafting narratives around real life people that we typically view as “frozen” in time and bringing realistic, plausible backstories and inner psychological three dimensionality to their otherwise potentially mysterious personality.

You don’t need to specifically love history to enjoy this book...it’s just entertaining.

Curious - it gives a nice twist to some historical puzzles.

October 1, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I found this weird concoction of a crime story along with historical fiction and a few, almost downright history lessons pretty odd. That doesn’t mean that I didn’t enjoy it. While the rest of the book has a common theme related to famous historical events, places or people, the first short story is totally unrelated. It is a crime story, one that you would think often finds a place in the headlines. There is a murder, and there are suspects. And, sometimes, the killer is not someone unexpected - this seems like a real crime story, without the unnecessary fictitious tension.

After that, prepare for a 180-degree turn. Di Silvio gets into the world of history and tells the stories of an RAF pilot who ends up imprisoned in the Nazi Auschwitz camp finding love amongst the dread; about the impact of the financier’s decisions like JP Morgan and Westinghouse on genius inventions like Tesla’s Death Ray, the pull-and-push balance between Edison and Tesla, and how their discoveries shaped the world; Kennedy’s quirkiness and how that shaped his destiny in the time of Edgar Hoover and Martin Luther King, and many other useful historical facts that tell us about a history we should not forget.
How are the lives of ordinary, genius and rich people intertwined? In more ways than you can imagine. I, for example, had no idea that Nikola Tesla and Mark Twain were friends. Or that Edison and Sarah Bernhardt knew each other, for that matter. I wonder if DiSilvio intends on exploring the story about Tesla more - it is perpetual mystery surrounded in a mist that needs some clarification.

The best we can find in these compilations of short stories ...

July 5, 2018

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

The best we can find in these compilations of short stories is the unexpected, the things you wouldn’t find in a romance story or a fantasy world and this was a pleasant surprise to read.
We can appreciate the amount of effort invested here, the historical facts presented in the story are accurate and they add a sense of realism, there is a universe in this book and everything works there the same way it works here so it’s unbelievable how skillful this author can be, not only does this book possess all that mentioned before but also the story and characters are compelling as well, the way the story goes, trust me you are going to be at the edge of your seat the entire time.
To wrap this review, you are not going to find such exquisite stories with facts that not only will impress you but also will make you read the whole book in one session, the wait is over and you need to read this book.
