Avalanche
The Blight Way
I enjoyed reading Patrick F. McManus’s humor articles in an outdoors magazine in my metal shop class while I was in high school and I’ve read his humor books since. This book was off brand for his humor writing and I didn’t find it very engaging. I probably wouldn’t read the follow up books to this one if I didn’t already have my hands on them.
The Da Vinci Code
This isn’t my first time around with this book. I enjoy the writings of Dan Brown. He creates a very vast storyline that is engaging and fun to read.
Stardust
I was drawn to this book because I enjoyed the movie. The book is much like movie with enough differences that you don’t feel like you’re reading the screenplay for the movie. I was quite surprised at the scene when Tristan’s dad got together with Tristan’s mom. It was definitely inappropriate. For that reason I can’t recommend this book.
Masters of Disaster
I got this book because I enjoyed “How Angel Peterson Got His Name.” This wasn’t quite the same humor as that book, but it was enjoyable.
Mr. Monk and the Two Assistants
I became tired of reading this book near the beginning since it was so formulaic, but I’m glad that I continued through the end because it picked up pace and got interesting.
Mr. Monk Goes to Hawaii
Enjoyable. A light read for someone who enjoys the old TV series.
Salem's Lot
It wasn’t terribly engaging of a book. I felt like it could have been shorter and more to the point.
Radigan
I enjoyed this book the most of the Louis L’Amour books I’ve read recently.
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
I have loved this book since first reading it in high school.
The Alchemist
I’ve read this book several times and it never gets old. I don’t care so much about the parable, it’s the story I enjoy.
Secret of Secrets
I do say that I enjoy a Dan Brown book! This book felt somewhat formulaic to his other books at the very beginning, but the plot twists later in the book to what I thought was formulaic was pleasantly surprising and made it great!
