Never Finished: Unshackle Your Mind and Win the War Within review by David Goggins - Aldo

This book by David Goggins has to be one of the best books for motivation. If you this is your first David Goggins book then I highly recommend it. I would say its better than the first one just because it talks more about compassion and still wanting to be the best but also wanting the best for those around him. You also see a lot of growth from David as an individual and you see him try and developed his winning mentality into something more elaborated.

The book itself is a great ways to help you reach your goals and examine your personality. The book overall helps you overcome your fears, how to use your emotions as fuel, how to break the mental wall you have created because of past trauma, and how to be a true self leader. I would this book is great for anyone who wants to better themselves and learn how to grow as a person.  I would give it a 9 out of 10

    I've heard of David Goggins before but never knew he wrote a book, much less more than one. I think he's a cool person and should check out his books. Great review!

    Hello Aldo, I struggle to find something to say. I can see that the title suggests that the book was very intense, so more detail could be interesting.

    Hi Aldo, based on the title alone I can tell that this book is very motivational. I liked how you describe some of the ways he tries to motivate you and make you a better version of yourself.

    I've only seen David Goggins on podcast and heard his life story. I never knew he read a book though.

    I have known who David Goggins is for a very long time, and am inspired by his life story of going from too overweight for the army, to running tons and tons of marathons by himself. I may read this book to learn more about him and his story. I may also read this for some life skills he has learned over the years that would be helpful for me.

    Hey Aldo, I have had the honor of having him motivate me through my weight loss journey though a digital device. I have always wanted to read this book because of the quotes I have seen online. David Goggins is person I look up to and hope to achieve his level of grit, discipline, and mental capabilities. This is an amazing review!

Inheritance Games V. Knives Out

Image
  Everywhere I go, I see “Inheritance Games, Knives Out as a novel … fan of Knives Out? Inheritance Games is the next book for you”. I mean, it is like everybody on the internet found the exact same comparison. Google inheritance games, and Google Books will pop up first with a “Perfect for fans of Knives Out”. Are they actually that similar though? Inheritance games in a new released teenage novel featuring Avery Grambs, a high school teenager with nothing, living in a car. Until multi-billionaire Tobias Hawthorn leaves her his entire inheritance. Just from the opening scene, you can see the ties back to the 2019 movie, Knives Out. In the first half hour of Knives Out, you watch Marta Cabrera go from nothing to multimillionaire, and becoming part of the disinheritance of all of the millionaire’s relatives. The foundation of both works is exactly the same, almost to the exact same age and gender of the main character (Marta Cabrera is a few years older). Both Marta and Avery are sent o

Keeper of the Lost Cities by Shannon Messenger

  Keeper of the Lost Cities  - Shannon Messenger, entire series *Spoiler warnings* I’m not talking about book one, book two, or book three. I’m talking about the whole nine-book incomplete series. I firmly believe that it is really good (although maybe just after the first few books). Once you get back Sophie Foster's god complex, or rather get used to it, the rest of the series allows you to pretend the side characters are the main characters. Sophie is an elf with superpowers, who after spending the first twelve years of her life in the human world (and reading the dictionary for fun at age five), gets introduced to the elf world. And of course, she has to save the world. Nine books later… She's still working on it. Most elves have one ability (basically a superpower), and she just happens to manifest a new one every book. Even made up a couple new ones!              You can imagine how entertaining that would be for a fourth grader. What raises it TWO levels, up to worth

Challenger Deep

               It was a Monday. I had ELA next period and had forgotten to bring a book to school, so at the end of lunch period I ended up in the library. Just like Ok, I have two minutes, grab a book and go . I saw a familiar name, but with a title of a book I’ve never read, so I grabbed the book and got going. Challenger Deep by Neal Shusherman . Forty-five minutes later, after reading the first sixty pages of the book, the words that came out of my mouth were, “This book sucks''. And following up with that, “It makes no sense. Why does it have to jump from scene to scene every two minutes! Like is this whatever boat pirate ship thingy the character is on half the time even real?”. The way the book was written, half of the time the character was on a pirate ship, but in modern times. Modern being the characters on the ship, the boat itself was a classic old time pirate ship. However, this ship followed none of the natural laws of the real world. The other half of the time (t
