The Bradbury Chronicles: The Life of Ray Bradbury (P.S.) review

Posted : 4 years, 11 months ago on 6 May 2019 05:00 (A review of The Bradbury Chronicles: The Life of Ray Bradbury (P.S.))

Caleb's Crossing: A Novel review

Posted : 8 years, 11 months ago on 6 May 2015 05:21 (A review of Caleb's Crossing: A Novel)

This was a fascinating book about the European-Native American encounters in 17th century New England. Brooks does a great job fleshing out the characters and giving a sense of what could have been if Caleb had survived.
