Steinbeck's _The Grapes of Wrath:_ Still Vital, Still Relevant by telynor Pros: Gorgeous writing, strong story and characters.
Cons: None. There are novels that hit right on the heart, and make you think when you finish it. For me, such was the case when I finished reading John Steinbeck's novel, The Grapes of Wrath. My interest in reading it had grown after some genealogical ...

“The Wise Men of Helm & Their Merry Tales” will get you smiling! by merle_levy Pros: Great for reading to little ones -- and enjoying on your own.
Cons: If you're an impatient reader, this book might be challenging. If I didn’t know better, I would believe that Peter Seller’s character, Inspector Clousseau, emigrated to France from Helm. The typical Helmite, like the intrepid French detective, will go out of his way to create a complex plan with at least ...

Cassandra Clare's City of Glass (The Mortal Instruments) by swooshfan2 Pros: Great action and adventure
Cons: Much of the action is predictable, the lead character is incredibly annoying After a pair of mediocre offerings to start The Mortal Instruments series, I went into "City of Glass" with lowered expectations. While I had previously enjoyed the stories told in the first two books, I had also come to terms with the author's awkward ...

Looking for a Chill on a Hot Summer Night? Check out Red Moon. by JediKermit Pros: Solid characterization, entertaining dialogue, good action set pieces, nice sciencey fiction.
Cons: Too violent and sweary for sensitive readers. Two summers ago I read The Passage. Justin Cronin's story about an apocalypse wrought by mutating vampires scared the heck out of me. And I loved it. His sequel The Twelve was good, but didn't thrill me as much as the ...

Eric Shanower and Skottie Young Continue Along the Road to Oz by JediKermit Pros: Incredible illustrations, new and old Oz characters, Toto's back!
Cons: Even more episodic than other Oz books... With some book series, after you've read three or four of them the characters all run together, and you're not quite sure if you've read a book or not until you pick it up and get a few chapters in. That's how I felt about the Oz books by L. Frank Baum, ...

Danziger's Slow Road to China by driftless Pros: Remarkably ambitious journey.
Cons: Remarkably boring writing. Couldn't he have picked a smaller continent? The best adventures are the ones you create on your own. It’s with this philosophy that London native Nick Danziger likes to approach his travels and in the early 1980s – still drifting a bit in his mid-twenties – he convinced the ...
