The Wasp Factory review

Posted : 12 years, 1 month ago on 12 April 2012 05:20 (A review of The Wasp Factory)

This was an interesting book about discovery, treasure and manipulation. I like Frank's inventive spirit, even though I didn't always like how it was used.

The Shattered World review

Posted : 12 years, 1 month ago on 12 April 2012 05:16 (A review of The Shattered World)

Normally, quest fantasies have the characters trying to save the village or region or their world. With multiple worlds orbiting each other, I found this fantasy novel that much more compelling. I look forward to reading the sequel, The Burning Realm.

I liked this first book of the Chanur series. I especially liked the way Pyanfar figured out how to deal with the kif and how knowing Tully can be useful. I look forward to reading the next book, Chanur's Venture.

North review

Posted : 12 years, 1 month ago on 12 April 2012 03:44 (A review of North)

Polar exploration is one of my favorite historical topics. So, I found this fictional account of the Lady Franklin Bay Expedition very moving. Parish, the fictional version of Adolphus Washington Greeley, and his men were brave as they faced struggles that could have been partly avoided except for some people back home not understanding what the expedition was going through.

End In Tears: (A Wexford Case) review

Posted : 12 years, 1 month ago on 12 April 2012 03:40 (A review of End In Tears: (A Wexford Case))

I liked this mystery featuring Chief Inspector Wexford. I liked how he and the rest of the Kingsmarkham team figure out the cause of the murders and catch the actual killer. I look forward to reading the first book in the series, From Doon with Death.
