Review: The Lost World


The Lost World
The Lost World by Arthur Conan Doyle

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



I thought The Lost World was a good exciting read. It contained well rounded characters, especially Professor Challenger who is a gruff surly lion of a man.
This book contained excitement and adventure with horror and survival. A good mix of emotions.
I loved the descriptive narrative which Conan Doyle excels at.
Even though this book is over a 100 years old, it still stands the test of time.

Review: The Ocean at the End of the Lane


The Ocean at the End of the Lane
The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



I anticipated this would be a good book, but I think I underestimated just how good it would be.
The story is told from a narrative point of view. It is beautiful, haunting, magical and poignant.
I do not want to do an indepth review as I do not want to spoil it for potential new readers.
It is definitely one of the best books I have read so far this year!

Review: The Pharos Objective


The Pharos Objective
The Pharos Objective by David Sakmyster

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



This is a great book for those that love action and adventure books.
Caleb Crowe is a psychic that uses remote viewing to look back into the past to aid archaeology.
His mother and sister belong to The Morpheus Initiative which is a group dedicated to remote viewing to which Caleb once belonged.
I thought it was a nice take on using psychic abilities and the book is a roller-coaster of an adventure.

I enjoyed the book very much. I did not realize that The Jungle Book was compiled of several stories. I particularly liked Rikki Tikki the mongoose.

I have read all of the Area 51 books in order. This one is set apart from the others as it takes on a new direction.
This book follows Moms and her team of Nightstalkers who are dedicated to tracking down,containing and concealing, Fireflies and Rifts.
This is well written with believable characters.

Review: John Marchmont's Legacy


John Marchmont's Legacy
John Marchmont's Legacy by Mary Elizabeth Braddon

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



This is a wonderful read. Braddon had a fantastic way with words.They flowed beautifully and almost poetic at times.
There are many diverse characters, including a nasty villain.
This novel includes many emotions. I had trouble putting it down and I would recommended this to anyone who loves good story telling.
