Review Friday
Ahem… your usually organized blogger sometimes picks up the wrong date, which means that yesterday for about 30 minutes you had a glimpse of today's post… So I better change it a little! 
I obviously had time to catch up on some reading… the first still being a printed PDF, the second read on Kindle! I'm not really signing up for Goodreads challenges, but I thought I should augment the quantity of BOOKS I read – hence less visits to your wonderful blogs, but I'll get by next week again!
So, I was hoping to have 3 reviews, but I'm not done with the third book (although I could already rave about it, haha). Hence only two. Here goes – copied and pasted on Smashwords, Goodreads and Amazon.
Alien Abduction by Terry Compton
5 star story with 3 star execution. Lots of head hopping and omniscient narrator (which isn't necessarily bad, but needs some getting used to), and lots of indirect speech. The story is told more than shown and sometimes the repetitions slow down the action. I have very mixed feelings about this, I admit it! I liked the story, but those huge blocks of text made it for a slow read… do I want more? Maybe. Yeah, I guess I want to know what's next. But I'm not in a rush.
I'm not a fan of talking animals (and even less insects), but this satire was wonderful. I read it in two sitting and recommend it to both adults and children – the latter will enjoy the story, but their parents will be able to read the subtext. Must check more about this author!
I will interview Jonathan Gould next month, so you'll hear more about him (his other book is also on my TBR list) soon.
What can I add? I wish I was better at doing reviews – check Joleene's review of Air – but I guess I'm not. Should I stop review altogether on the blog or not? Do you find these snippets useful or interesting?
