Dan Schwartz rated a book 5 of 5 stars Witch and Wizard (Witch & Wizard, #1) by James Patterson (Goodreads Author)	Rate this book Clear rating 1 of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars
It is clear that James Patterson can really do any genre. Paired up with Gabrielle Charbonnet, these two authors create a magical and corrupt world where the line between right and wrong has been smudged and grayed. The two main characters, siblings...more

A lighter read than what I was expecting from the fantastic duo of Patterson and Ledwidge, who are responsible for the Michael Bennett series. I liked it, it was not great, but it was a fun and quick read. A young boy/man with alien abilities going a...more

Such a complex and impelling story with so much going on. A true joy to read, and incredibly exciting, and although more straight forward than the first of the series, it is no less entertaining. The only thing that got me while reading is that some...more

Dan Schwartz rated a book 3 of 5 stars A Lion Among Men (The Wicked Years, #3) by Gregory Maguire	Rate this book Clear rating 1 of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars
The third installment of Maguire’s Oz world, and unfortunately it is based around, in my opinion, the worst of the characters, the Cowardly Lion. Brrr the lion’s back story is not all that entertaining, but he is sent on a fact finding mission and th...more

Wow; I think that pretty much sums it up. The tale of the last unaffected man surviving the vampire bacterial outbreak is absolutely amazing. We read as he slowly loses his mind, yet still manages to skeptically find hope from time to time. This book...more

Michael Bennett books are always entertaining to read for his dry wit and sarcastic sense of humor, and in that regards, Worst Case just not disappoint. A loving father, a great cop, and a confused romantic all rolled into one finds himself once agai...more

I love that Gregory Maguire continued the story where Wicked left off. I adore Wicked, it was fantastic, and the world that was created out of such a well-known story was unbelievable. Now I get more of it and I could not be happier, and some questio...more

Dan Schwartz liked Marcie's review of Son of a Witch: " This book was so satisfying. Liir, son of Elphaba, comes into his own and after 266 pages, he begins to do incredible things to help other people, lead, unite, take the helm of his mother’s legacy. And it’s so realistic because he does it while st... " Read more of this review »

Dan Schwartz rated a book 3 of 5 stars The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas	Rate this book Clear rating 1 of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars
The telling of the story was very disjointed and I later learned that it was originally released in parts, which explains that, but as a whole it was just lacking something. For me, I may be unfairly judging the book because I wanted it to be just as...more

To say Roald Dahl’s books are written with a little bit of genius would be completely and utterly untrue; Roald Dahl books are written with a great deal of genius. BFG in particular is a tale that is enjoyable to both children and adults alike, and h...more
