Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by J.K. Rowling

My review

Rating: 4 of 5 stars

I do not know why it took 14 years for me to "discover" this book. I guess I was waiting for my daughter to be old enough to read it first. Not bad for a "children's book".

Therefore, Repent!

Therefore, Repent! by Jim Munroe

My review

Rating: 2 of 5 stars

My first stab at reading a Graphic Novel. The plot twist at the end boosted my rating to "it was ok". I would have liked this better as a traditional novel. I need more exposition to flesh out a story enough to hold my attention.

I have not yet sworn off Graphic Novels, but one more like this will push me into the uninterested group of readers.

My review

Rating: 3 of 5 stars

Interesting future history where there is no death, set for the most part in Disney World. You can buy this book at your local bookstore or Amazon, but it is also available for free from the author's website: http://craphound.com/down/

Nice to read a book by Steve Martin that is not humor based.
