Excession review

Posted : 13 years, 9 months ago on 4 February 2011 02:24 (A review of Excession)

I liked this book, but I think I would have liked it more if I had read the earlier books in the series first. I found myself wondering what was going on and who the characters were, and it wasn't until I was halfway through when I realized that it was part of a series. I look forward to reading the earlier books starting with Consider Phlebas.

The Children's Game review

Posted : 14 years, 3 months ago on 4 August 2010 07:40 (A review of The Children's Game)

I enjoyed this espionage thriller with its many twists and turns. I especially liked how Danner figured out how to get an important disc from a rather unique hiding place.

Posted : 14 years, 3 months ago on 4 August 2010 07:40 (A review of Witness in Death (In Death #10) )

This was a good mystery featuring Eve Dallas. I liked the mix of theater and crime and the way Eve figured out who the killer was.

The Redemption of Althalus review

Posted : 14 years, 3 months ago on 4 August 2010 07:38 (A review of The Redemption of Althalus)

I enjoyed this fantasy adventure very much. I liked how Althalus and his friends learn to work together as they battle Daeva and the forces of darkness. I also like the use of "doors" to get from place to place (and from time to time).

Seahorse in the Sky (Coronet Books) review

Posted : 14 years, 3 months ago on 4 August 2010 07:37 (A review of Seahorse in the Sky (Coronet Books))

This is a good science fiction story about different groups of people finding themselves in a very new and unexpected place. I liked how they figured out how to get beyond the river valley and learn who brought them there and why.

At times both funny and disturbing, this was a very interesting memoir showing the good and bad in human relationships.

My thoughts

Posted : 14 years, 3 months ago on 4 August 2010 07:21 (A review of Blood Magic: Book One Of The Ballad Of Kirin Widowmaker: Ballad of Kirin Widowmaker Bk. 1)

This was a good fantasy featuring Kirin, a young woman with powers she doesn't always understand. I liked how she gradually learned about the cost of her actions and I look forward to reading the sequel, Nights of Sin.

The Speed of Dark review

Posted : 14 years, 6 months ago on 31 May 2010 08:03 (A review of The Speed of Dark)

This was a very good book about autism and how different people react to it. I liked how Lou could explain to his friends how he viewed the world. I also liked the way he learned more about himself in making his decision.

Five Quarters of the Orange review

Posted : 14 years, 6 months ago on 31 May 2010 07:59 (A review of Five Quarters of the Orange)

This was a good book about family and secrets. I liked how Framboise learned about her mother through the diary/recipe book and how she and others came to understand what happened years ago.
