Mostly about Books, Movies, and Such. Monday, August 6, 2012. Code Name Verity by Elizabeth Wein. Is one of my favorite reads of the year. It is also one of the ones I find most difficult to talk about what I liked without spoiling the book. It was an amazing journey, told mostly in the form of a type of report, starting as one written in a desperate bid by a prisoner to buy time after she has been caught behind enemy lines by the Gestapo. Keeps coming back to mind. Quote: From Mirror Dance. Ivan played ...

Mostly about Books, Movies, and Such. Monday, April 23, 2012. If you haven't seen Eureka, find it on Netflix or DVD and start at the beginning. It is well worth seeing. Friday, April 20, 2012. Unspoken by Sarah Rees Brennan. One quick note, Unspoken ends at what seems to be the best stopping point, but still in the middle of things, where I'm sure the sequel will pick up. However, if everything not being wrapped up is going to bother you, you've now been warned. But, really, it's so worth it! I miss you ...

Mostly about Books, Movies, and Such. Tuesday, January 25, 2011. Worth Dying For: A Review. The 15th book in Lee Child's popular Jack Reacher series, picks up a couple of days after the explosive end of 61 Hours. Watching Reacher juggle his escalating conflict with the Duncans and his investigations into the girl's disappearance 20 years before is as fascinating as ever. The two story lines play off each other, building to the conclusion. Reacher moves through the conflict with much of his usual flair, b...

Mostly about Books, Movies, and Such. Monday, March 24, 2008. The Bridge at Remagen. About the American Strategic Deception group (another interesting read). Most of the action in this book centers on one company, and their heroism. I can't say much more about it than that it was a wonderful read. It also did a very good job of putting the action into context, while also not loosing focus on the bridge. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Quote: From Mirror Dance. Black Sun Rising - C. S. Friedman.

Mostly about Books, Movies, and Such. Wednesday, June 9, 2010. I adored this book, which might be a slightly odd way to describe one's feelings about a book, but Cade was instantly interesting and compelling, Griff the perfect old hand at a very odd game, and Zack grew on me really quickly.
