Betrayed by a Vampyre ~ Good Story, Bad Writing (Again) by dramastef Pros: Interesting story and spin on the Vampire lore...
Cons: ...bogged down in some atrocious writing. Some time ago, I reviewed the first book in A House of Night series and summed it up by saying it was a very good story but oh-so-poorly written. Unfortunately, I don’t have much else to say about this second book in the series, ...

Clifford Barks! - and Everyone Happily Listens by bilbopooh Pros: cute pictures, friendly Clifford
Cons: I don't think everyone would love all that barking so much... When we first got our dog Mokey, she was a quiet puppy. She observed her new surroundings with wide eyes and didn't make a peep. Then she got used to us and to our house, and she decided to make her voice heard. Mokey is a hound, so it was a very ...

Little Critter Tries to Keep an Exclusive Club in Our Tree House by bilbopooh Pros: lesson in sharing with one's siblings
Cons: Why can't the girl ever be the one with the tree house? It seems like a tree house is an essential ingredient in the life of many a fictional lad.

Shoulder boards don't win wars, Mikhail by pyfr Pros: It's nice to see the Whites, losers though they were, get a little love.
Cons: Khvostov is absolutely fixated on pins, badges, and the color of uniforms. It’s surprising (or maybe not, depending on your opinion of the average American) how few people seem to know anything about the Russian Revolution. Every armchair historian can tell you about the Tet Offensive or the Gettysburg Address, but I know a ...

A novel for theists and atheists alike by Chad9976 Pros: Surprisingly well-balanced debate of theism despite the title; breezy; funny moments.
Cons: It's told in a non-linear fashion and hard to follow at times; sides with atheism. I was raised in a fairly conservative Christian home, although my family was quite progressive compared to those that subscribed to more orthodox traditions. One of the major values governing our household was that we had to tread extremely light when it ...

The Clarks of Cooperstown “Their Singer Sewing Machine Fortune”-Nicholas Fox Weber by mollymole Pros: Wonderful history of Singer, early MOMA, Cooperstown, the Clarks, and their luminous art collections
Cons: Quite long, slow reading at the end - fact filled, like a textbook. If you have an interest or preferably a fascination with paintings and art history, this is the book for you. The sixteen pages of illustrations from the Clark collections are magnificent, worth the read in themselves. This book is an absolute visual ...
