Review: Order of the Dimensions by Irene Helenowski

I received a copy from the author, Irene Helenowski, in return for an honest review. This book was first published on September 14th, 2012. 

When Jane Kremowski first began her graduate studies in physics at Madison State University in Wisconsin, little did she know where her work would take her. Now, she is embroiled in a multitude of dimensions all leading to different outcomes. She and her colleagues therefore must act wisely in order to take and keep away the Order of Dimension from falling into the wrong hands for the sake of her loved ones. - Goodreads.com

This book is definitely outside of my knowledge base when it comes to the genre and content. I know very little about computers or programming. I usually have to make others do a lot of programming stuff for me when it comes to my own computer. 

I tried very hard to get into this book. I really did. I just didn't understand part of it and then all the stuff with the main character and the antagonist just had my head spinning. When I'd read the description of the book, I couldn't wait to start. It sounded so interesting. About halfway through I nearly put it down because I just had no more interest in reading. 

It was a creative plot, I'll give her that, but it wasn't done in a creative way. I think over all I gave this book 2/5 stars. I'll give her the benefit of the doubt and read the other two books, but I am not keeping my hopes up.  I tried. It just was not something I would read again.

November 2015 Wrap Up

So, as everyone knows it was NaNoWriMo time this past November, so I didn't actually manage to do a lot of reading. I finished one book in total for the month, because like everyone else who participates, I was too busy with NaNoWriMo to read much.

Book #1: Grave Beginnings by R.R. Virdi

In this book, the main character has a very interesting job. He has to solve supernatural murders. He just doesn't do it in his own body. He lost that a long time ago. The job in this book is nothing he's ever encountered before and he doesn't have a lot of time to figure it out before he's going to be sent packing to the next body.

I know Mr. Virdi through Facebook and I bought the book on Amazon a while ago. It just took me a while to actually get around to it. I meant to read it earlier, when I bought it, but things happen and you miss it. When I started seeing other people commenting about it and about the characters, I just had to go find (and charge haha) my Kindle and read it for myself.

I absolutely LOVED it when I finally managed to start reading it. I was hooked from the first sentence on chapter 1. Anybody would. The way he described it was brilliant. I can't wait to get my hands on the next book in this series.
