All Hallows
You can probably guess why I chose this book based upon the man’s last name. This book was just all right. There were too many characters to have to track at the same time. The villain was weak.
The Making of Another Major Motion Picture Masterpiece
I didn’t finish this book. I was really hoping that it would be a good book because it was written by Tom Hanks to whom I’m a bit of a fan. But I just couldn’t get into the story and didn’t feel any desire to get to reading it, so I did what I try not to do and I decided to move on to the next book.
A Christmas Carol
This is my favorite Christmas story that I read every year.
The Diamond of Darkhold
I definitely have mistaken this series for some other young adult book series that got really bad as the books went on. This was a fairly good story and a satisfying end to the series.
The Prophet of Yonwood
The books are a getting weirder. I feel like the author didn’t really have an idea for writing a sequel, but she was under contract to write a book, so she wrote a prequel. It really doesn’t have much to tie in with the earlier books.
The People of Sparks
I’m not really remembering these books at all. I’ll have to count this as a new read. It’s a good read. I wonder what the author’s agenda is in writing these books.
City of Ember
I enjoyed this book. It’s not the first time I’ve read it. I’m going to go through this series even though I don’t quite like the later books when I think the story goes off the rails.
Joyland
Kind of a slow book. Different from the other Stephen King books I’ve read.
The Great Brain
I enjoyed the Great Brain books when I was a boy. It’s still fun all these years later. I’m wondering about some parallels to Tom Sawyer. The secondary hero’s name is Tom, the teacher’s name is Thatcher, and part of the book kids are lost in a cave. Hmm.
The Skyliners
Another Sackett book. I enjoyed the story and it was a fun read.
The Alchemist
I really enjoy this book. I have read it several times. It’s a pretty short book, so it’s easy to get through. I hear they’re even making a movie based on the book. We’ll see how that goes
