by Bono and
Michka Assayas

ISBN - 0340832762

Reviewed by Badza

Bono on Bono Book cover

"Bono on Bono comprises of autobiographical conversations. There can be few celebrities who possess this self awareness of Bono. His faith is his north star. His passions are, his family, Africa and of course U2. The conversational format works well, gives intimacy and left me feeling as if I know Bono as a friend."

Pastwatch
By Orson Scott Card
ISBN - 0812508645

Reviewed by Shivas

"One of the best books by this author. A readable book that is thought provoking and informative. One of the “hidden” conclusions is that the best way to “civilize” the world is from a Christian foundation but without the obsessive exclusivity that led to things like the Inquisition and the Crusades."

The Power of One

Power of One Book Cover
Picture taken from Amazon.co.uk

"Set in South Africa during World War II, this book tells the story of Peekay. Peekay encounters different characters and unjaded by prejudices makes friends, who help him to develop and grow. He sees in them the “Power of One” and learns from them. This is my favourite all time book."
