We hadn't decided on a book yet, so I thought I would blog about the two books I have read in the last week. Melanie had recommended and brought over The Looking Glass Wars for dad to read. Dad said he couldn't get into it so I decided to read it. As far as "getting" into it, that wasn't hard. It was based on Alice in Wonderland, a story which is familiar, then takes a twist to update it. I read it easily and finished it in no time. I would give it a thumbs up.
After I finished that book, I read a book that Justin had recommended a while ago. Skulduggery Pleasant is a kind of magical mystery. It was good. I would give it a thumbs up too, but I did find it to be somewhat predictable. It is written on a teen/junior high level.
So two books I've read that I would recommend to everyone to read.
See! i told you it was good. I love how it makes you think about the story on a whole different level and it makes it so much more accessible.
ReplyDeleteIt was not so drug based as the Lewis Carroll version. I like it when they take anold story and make a new version out of it. I want to get the Second book in the series this weekend.
