Get on Top

I was immediately drawn in by this clever cover, but that's about where my love for this book ended. It wasn't bad per se, but I was hoping it would have a lot more new information. This book is honestly geared at high school girls who no little to nothing about sexuality and their bodies. There wasn't anything new or groundbreaking in this book other than questioning what ingredients are in tampons. I think this would be a great read for young adults or those who skipped over health class, other than that it's all common knowledge. It talks about the difference between birth controls, sexually transmitted diseases, periods, sex, masturbation, and anatomy. Underwhelming.

Sacred Sex

A small guide aimed at describing what it means to be a 21st century, sexually pure, Christian. Author Tony Evans, breaks this small work into three sections: Sex as God intended it, the value of sexual purity, and keeping sex sacred. In short, keep it in your pants and out of your mind. Ignore Hollywood and the loose immoral ideas of our society. Stay pure or you will suffer scarring emotional damage that can be forgiven, but never fixed (that especially means you women, with all your crazy emotional baggage!). This tiny guide (under 80 pages) is intended for single men and women as well married couples.  As for parents, just give this book to your kids when they turn 12 and you'll never have to give "the talk." It's a win, win for everyone! That is unless you're not a virgin... then you're in big, big trouble (God is watching you, even when you masturbate. Might want to rethink that vibrator, and don't say I didn't try to warn you, this is only your soul we're talking about).

I received this book for free from Moody Publishing in return for my honest, unbiased opinion.

Grasshopper Jungle

What in the name of all things holy did I just read?!?! I don't really know, but I loved every second of it!! Teenage boys are going to LOVE this book. And I foresee it being banned at most school libraries. Which will hopefully spur more kids to read it! Ahh soo good!

Most people are probably sick of dystopian or Armageddon novels, and to those people i say... read this book! This isn't just an end of the world novel, it's also filled with dark humor, sexuality, teenage love, confusion, and every other possible emotion that a teenage boy is capable of feeling. It's funny, inappropriate, and deeply personal all in one go.

In the small town of Ealing, Iowa, Austin is in love. He loves his girlfriend Shann, and... his best friend Robby who just so happens to be gay. He can't make heads or tails of his feelings. Is he gay too? Bisexual? Experimenting? Before he can properly figure out the answer to questions, Ealing is overrun with giant six foot tall praying mantises that only want to do one of two things. Eat or fuck (kind of like teenage boys).

Even though this is an outrageous tale, the characters seem totally real as does the serious points the author makes about scientific research done for the sake of profit at the expense of mankind.

An absolute must read. For fans of young adult literature, dystopians, black humor, gonzo writing, and Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.
