Review of Still Lolo


Pinned ImageTitle: Still Lolo

Author: Lauren Scruggs and the Scruggs Family

Series: no
 
Chapters: 32 plus epilogue

Pages: 248

Genre: Memoir non fiction

Rating: 5 stars

                Still Lolo is a memoir of Lauren Scruggs and her family and the tragedy that changed their lives. But through all of it they didn’t lose their faith. Though Lauren lost her left eye and hand in an accident with an airplane poralle she didn’t let that stop here. She’s uses what she went through to reach young girls. To show them that worth is not in what they look like, but who they are on the inside.
     The book has an introduction by Bethany Hamilton the young surfer who lost her arm to a shark bite. Both young women stood strong in their faith in God. He was there strength when they had none. 
     I enjoyed Lauren’s story and learned a lot. Still Lolo is a heartwarming story of courage, strength, and overcoming life’s struggles.

Pizza, Love, and Other Stuff that Made me famous is a cute main stream teen fiction that is cute. It’s basically teen iron chef. Sophie Niclardies is half Greek and half Italian and loves to cook.

Review of The Duck Commander Family


Title: The Duck Commander Family

Author: Willie and Korie Robertson

Series: no
 
Chapters: 17

Pages: 261

Genre: Memoir

Rating: 4 ½ stars

     The Duck Commander family is everybody’s redneck family or at least my favorite.  It was nice to read the story behind the story of A&E’s TV shows. The book was just as funny as the TV Show.  I enjoyed reading about the Robertson boys early years and how the business was built.  It was also a quick read.

I enjoyed the whole Series the only problem I had was with the title and cover of The Soldier’s Newfound family.  Carter is a Marine not a Solider the uniform matches what he is but the title doesn't still a good series.
