The Librarian (Little Boy Lost)

Nicely done! While this is a typical approach to a middle reader novel, that of having classic books come alive of sorts, I was taken in by the characters.
The characters were stereo type as well but I liked them.
You have the geeky unsung, picked on hero, his best friend that stands up for him, that also happens to be a girl. The bully, the creepy old librarian, and the mysterious library.
This last part was different than most and well done.
I smiled at the funny bits, I rooted for our hero, I even found myself thinking "I don't think I ever really read Wizard of Oz and I must now do so."
This ended on a cliff hanger, which was to be expected, but I will read the 2nd book, after I finish the Wizard of Oz I think.

New Testament (KJV)

I really enjoyed going from cover to cover on this one.

I find it very interesting how many different Church's and their beliefs come form this one book. I truly do not understand how quite a few of them could interpret what they do as doctrine.

A must read at least once in your life.

High Druids Blade

Welcome back Mr. Brooks and good old fashion Shannara story.
While this is set the most current of Stories in this vast amount of books it was one of the ones I enjoyed.
Terry Brooks has a formula for his stories that works well, but this one seemed to change it up a bit, at least to me.
I enjoyed his tying on the last series of Books and opening up a future for at least a couple more.
I love the use of magic as he has it here.

A must read for Shannara fans!

FableHaven: Grip of the Shadow Plague

This was a good read, especially when you consider it is the midway book in the series.
The action was never really boring. At one or two points it seemed very convenient for certain things to happen but it did not pull me out of the story.
The characters' were nice to visit again, which is always a plus in a multi book red.
This book also made me want to continue to the next.
As a stand alone read it could be done but I would recommend you read the other 2 first.
The magic system stayed intact as well as the main characters stayed true to what you know from the previous books.

Kngdom Keepers III

Not as good as the first 2 but I am invested in the books now.
I have been to WDW several times and I found several inaccurate things bother me.
Over all a good story even with the moments that it seemed to drag on.

It seemed to take forever to get to any real action. A lot of running around, hiding from people and the oh so ever lucky finding the correct answer when needed just in time.
If you like the characters from the first 2 books then read on, if it wasn't your cup of tea then skip.
One nagging question kept coming up...where are all the good characters? I mean I can't see Peter Pan or Merlin or Mr. Toad or even Mickey Himself sitting back and letting the evil ones have this much control unopposed

The Pagan Lord

Book 7 in the Saxon series from Bernard Cornwell, I waited along time for this one to come out and enjoyed the read.

Uhtred is one of my top 3 characters in all of the fiction world, and this adventure adds a bit more to his personae.

His hatred for the new religion of "the nailed god" as he calls it is as strong as ever.

My only problem with the book is that it seems to follow the pattern of the last 7.

Uhtred gets in trouble and goes off on his own "Viking ways" has a few fights, works to regain his birth place, then England gets in trouble and sends for their beloved Danish Warrior and he comes in to save the day.

Shield wall after shield wall, blood, death etc...and I love it. Cornwell is the master story teller of sword fights and battling shield walls.

This book leaves it open for another to follow which I will patiently wait for and devour as soon as it comes out.

A must read if you have read the other 6 (or at least 1 of them and liked it) It can be read on it's own since they are all pretty well self contained.
