Outstanding, excellent, outlandish

+ "All good things come to he who waits"
+ Absorbing and Heartwarming

Outlander is absolutely stunning. My great thanks go once again to the contributors on the PNR community boards where I heard first of this book and series. I believe it is very well written. I love the genre crossings: romance, science-fiction, history. DG has an outstanding ability to delve ...

Narnia Beckons is truly a wonderful work. Packed full of information, photos and stories about C.S. Lewis, his life, his writings and some inside information on characters in his book that I found fascinating. I read this book in one sitting and reread it just for the enjoyment of the read.

DAW, 2002

A Lovely Read

+ Begining the Elemental Masters series with this one.
+ Lovin Every Minute of It

This book is pleasantly creepy. The spookiness of gaslit London and the romance of mystic India combine to make an atmospheric adventure. Nice details create a sense of being there. How I'd love a place like Maya's conservatory, complete with tropical plants and magical animals! The story isn't too ...

Christopher Paolini

Laurel Leaf, 2006

A wonderful book to hear

+ One of the Best Reads Since Dracula

I enjoyed listening to this book as I worked. The writing is descriptive and allows you to lose yourself in the story. After watching the movie, I recommend listening to these unabridged cds. The reader has a wonderful, clear voice that gives life to all the books characters.

Wooster and Jeeves in the military...

+ Not Free SF Reader

Is it that funny? Well, yes. Not that Phule is as stupid as Wooster, but it does hint at tad at the understated humor that we get from the English. Touching, funny and sometimes a tad weird, this seems to really hit that spot. I really enjoyed reading this day on my weekend and wished that I ...
