Hogfather (Discworld Novel) review
Posted : 15 years, 10 months ago on 11 January 2009 06:03 (A review of Hogfather (Discworld Novel))This was a good Christmas fantasy book. I enjoyed the scenes with Death trying to do the right thing. I also liked the scenes with the wizards and their trying not to think of new gods and fairies.

Posted : 15 years, 11 months ago on 22 December 2008 04:22 (A review of The Summer Tree (The Fionavar Tapestry, Book 1))I enjoyed this fantasy which started in this world and continued in the world of Fionavar. I especially liked how each character had his or her own skills to learn and challenges to overcome. I look forward to learning what happens next in the Fionavar Tapestry in The Wandering Fire.

Posted : 15 years, 11 months ago on 22 December 2008 04:10 (A review of Quarantine)This was a powerful and thought provoking book about compassion and suffering. While it is set during Jesus' fasting in the desert, the narrative focuses more on the other people in the same area and their struggles and dreams. I especially liked the interactions between the women Miri and Marta.
