Albeit I was delighted with the last boxcar children. This was back to the normal. Not that I dislike these little middle reader books. It was a cute one where the lighthouse was the least part of the whole mystery. It was just setting. But that is ok. There is still strange goings ons and…

So far of The Boxcar Children novels, this one has been my favorite. This is a fun mystery that feels a lot more historically accurate than previous books. It also felt like the author is starting to catch their stride. The pacing was spot on and the dialogue a little less cheesy. Considering everything, I…

This is a collection of three short stories by three different authors and published under James Patterson’s name. I rate the stories #3 as best, #1 as significantly second, #2 I would rate at the bottom of all stories I have read. And I would strongly recommend it to author friend to learn the best…

Finally back to good Alex Delaware novels. I enjoyed this one and feel like we are back to a more normal setup. Killers and wealth privilege I would say is the topic of this novel. I like it as we get going to see this one far less coincidental than the previous ones. Great pacing…

This is an odd book. Even now I am left saying. What exactly just happened. I would have liked to see a little more detail on what was going on. It is as if we danced around what was really going after only to dance away. I felt like this novel spent more time telling…

This is a journey based account of Warsaw Poland during the Holocaust. It is very interesting but realize that it reads more like a history text than a novel. I do feel this gives a different perspective on what happened at that time and gives insights to the bravery / courage it took to resist…

This is a book by C S Lewis and discusses the seeming conflict between pain and God. How could one exist if the other exists. It is interesting as he goes into doctrine the helps us put reason to how pain fits into the eternal plan and what we are supposed to learn from it.…

Alex Delaware is taking on much larger fish in this one. Almost James Bond level in my opinion. Still the series is sliding further and further from its roots. Also, moving further and further from the believable coincidental. Will I keep reading the series? Yes. Am I hoping for something a little more mentally twisted?…

Another of the RPGLit books. I so far do not hate them. This one was good with some good pacing, albeit I am hoping a lot of the hooks are for coming books, otherwise a lot of this book could have been left out. That said, the plot line was good, with just the removal…

Haunting Alex Delaware novel. This one was good and I enjoyed it. The pacing was good and it had a decent twist. That said there is some good and bad with this novel. Overall, I did enjoy it. But it had some identity crisis in what it wanted to be. We spend a bunch of…
