The Gathering Storm
Finally we are getting to see the plots beginning to be wrapped up. It is a hard act to follow and let alone write someone elses sotry but Brandon has stepped up to the plate and done it brilliantly. Now to wait again for the next in the series
The Golden City
A good conclusion to the story, but could have been better. It felt abit rushed, however I enjoyed it and look forward to his next book.
The Lightning Thief
A great mix of greek mythology and modern day, in an engaging story sure to appeal to early readers and keep them interested.
Chindi
A good hard scifi which also doesn't skimp on a good story. A well written book, and I'm glad that I discovered this author.
Tekkon Kinkreet: Black and White
This is a great story of 2 kids in Treasure town, who are defending the city from the encroaching mob gang. It is a journey of discover, finding out what is important in life and in belief. I would read this before watching the movie.
The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie
I was fortunate enough to win this book from one of this sites drawings. I have now managed to find time to read it. The story is told from the perspective of an 11 year old girl set in the 50's. Whilst I'm no expert on the period, it is obvious that the author has done his research and he quickly draws you into her world. The writing is fast paced and the story is one you don't want to put down. The heroine is like-able even if she is awfully bright for someone so young. I look forward to his other books and thoroughly enjoyed this one. It is the perfect beach book, my only complaint was that it was over too quickly.
Prince: A Thief in the Temple
This is more of a review of his discography and how it ties into his personal life whilst he was recording the albums. It is a quick read and does provide some more insight into this talented artist, but does not really provide anything that hasn't been said before.
