RE: A Caper in Fabel

I noticed that the trolls (who were second-class citizens much like the Native Americans & African Americans) were from a land called "Low Sneeran." In the story, the "wall" Humpty Dumpty sat on was actually a dam. When the "wall" fell, Low Sneeran flooded. I later realized Low Sneeran is an anagram for New Orleans. I think he was referencing Katrina.

The Adventures of Hood and Fudd by J. Bradford Lawler

The year is 1888 and Jedediah Hood, a Half-Breed (half Cherokee, half Irish) was driven out of his home with his mother and sister when his father was murdered by a group of outlaws and their leader Emmett Stone. They then fled to the Cherokee tribe. Now, coming back to his homeland to claim his father’s land, he finds an unlikely friend in Ruben Fudd. His hometown of Iron Gate has had many attacks from a man-eating mountain lion. Also, a mysterious stranger has been confronting Emmett Stone and his group of outlaws. Hood will stop at nothing until justice and safety are restored in Iron Gate.

This is a good book worth reading. It is on the shorter side but the number of pages is just right for the amount of story in the book. The author puts you on your toes just waiting for the next page and the ending is phenomenal.

Hastur Lord by Marion Zimmer Bradley

The book Hastur Lord is about Regis Hastur and his brother Rinaldo. Read as they embark on a mission to stop from being a part of a growing empire, and bring their land back to the way it was before the years of chaos. Will they be able to withstand all the empire throws at them? Can they trust the people they are around? Can they trust each other? Most important, can they save their planet from being just another toy in the empire's hands?

The book is very serious and sad. But the story was told great, and the characters were painted perfectly. The only thing I could have wished more out of the book is that it had more fun times in it. But I think it would be a better book for a higher age lever.

Soppy vampire books

Soppy vampire books really... Grrrr... they really destroy all admiration I held for all those novels beforehand which portrayed the deathly horror of good old fashoined vamps. Yes, I am one of those who recoils in desgust at the books plastered in stupid people posing about thinking 'look at me I'm so cool - I'm in love with this vampire dude, and, and, he's just soo deep'... grrrr (again). Look guys, I've got nothing against those who like this genre (if it can be classed as one), but who here has the decency to agree with me? P.S. as my little brother stands over me whatching every word I type, I feel obliguied to add that he said "Soppy vampire books really pop my spine" - which in all fairness doesn't make much sense but he gets the jist. (ah, lil bro, you so crazy!) I apolagised if I sounded cruel and unsavoury, I really am... but can you convinse me that there's even one good vampire book out these days?

RE: Fast Readers

Unfortuneatly, I have to slightly dissapoint you. I am one to savour each and every word written, I am a one to hate in the slow reading department, however I usually get to finish a book within a week. But the novel to face ratio is emmensly high and somewhat constant. You can see me doing not much else. If I were one of those to pick up a book and skimm through its pages I would find myself not becoming one with the story, becoming part of it... and plus deslexia runs through my blood - however I do not believe I posess it, no matter how confusing things are to me, all I think is - I shall become senile oh too quick!

RE: need more reads!

I have to appologise by the fact that recomending books is not really my forte. However, I have read many which are good, but they may come across to seem weird and obscure. Or others a bit heavy (know what I mean?). And sometimes I can find myself at a loose end - reading material is short in my household, and I am afraid to say that biding by the facts of me living here - in the united Kingdom, I cannot reveiw like yourself. But, I do find solice in reading the novels which distant relitives and friends recommend for me. No matter the contents.

RE: The Hunger Games

i loved hunger games... people were saying they didnt like mockingjay because of how catniss and all the other characters turned out but i think it shows how u are changed by every little thing... imageine if the one u loved turned against u, if your family would die if u made 1 mistake, so what i mean (not giving away any spoilers) is even though we saw 2 different catnisses i think it was VERY important for the plot.

A Caper in Fabel

Great mystery novel for kids AND adults. Most people do not recognize the metaphors & social commentary in this book. It is a cross between Animal Farm, Sherlock Holmes & Shrek. I give it a 10!!!
