Book of the Month for February 2010

For February, I recommend a great book of the month for those who want to learn how to create dynamic web sites and a wonderful novel about a little girl who grew up in the woods and whose best friend is a young wolf.

Whether you agree or disagree with my reviews, I'd love to hear what you think. You can use the book review form below to send me your comments.

Fiction Book of the Month

My fiction recommendation for February 2010 is Magic Hour: A Novel by Kristin Hannah.

Julia Cates, a child psychologist who recently got a bad reputation and extremely negative media coverage following one of her patient's going on a killing spree, has nothing left to lose. The parents of her other patients have cancelled all their appointments and her career is pretty much destroyed.

When her estranged sister calls to request her help, she decides to leave her Californian lifestyle and return to her hometown to help this strange and frightened little girl who came out of the woods.

The author really captured how such a wild girl would feel and react when placed in our "civilized world." The relationship and bond that gradually appears between Julia and the little girl is beautifully written and it's easy to picture them in your mind.

Of course, there is a little bit of romance and suspense blended in to keep things interesting. Great read. I wasn't able to put it down until I was finished.

Non-Fiction Book of the Month

My non-fiction book for February 2010 is PHP & MySQL For Dummies, 4th Edition by Janet Valade.

If you've been reading my monthly recommendations for a while, you probably know that I enjoy learning about web sites and how they are made. I've now progressed to dynamic web sites that let visitors interact with the content.

Dynamic web sites are replacing many static sites because they allow the creator to connect everything to a database. While it sounds fantastic, it's a lot more complex than static web sites, and that's why I got this "Dummies" book.

I really love the way the writer approached the whole concept. She starts by explaining what a database is and how you can create your own. The book then goes into PHP, with a nice, easy and funny approach that makes this difficult subject a lot easier to understand.

Highly recommend for those of you who, like me, enjoy learning new things and pushing the boundaries of their intellect.
