Rick-Founder JM CM BOOK CLUB ’s comments from the THE JAMES MASON COMMUNITY BOOK CLUB group.

Just finished

Pretty good thriller- though I cannot say it was David Baldacci's best- quick read but not very interesting lead character- rather one-note and just enjoyed his earlier books more

Definitely have to check it out! Thanks Elaine

Agree totally! I own most of the Shannara books- love them- especially Elfstones of Shannara- I don't really see them as "rip-off's of Tolkien..more like Tolkien started a whole new genre- Epic- multi-volume fantasy- and so many wonderful writers have come since to carry on the torch!

I really enjoyed David Eddings books

I enjoyed Forever Odd- just wish that there were more characters- about 200 pages were devoted to Odd's attempt to free his friend in a broken down casino - had it not been for how likable Odd is- I probably would have been unable to read a book that over 2/3 of it took place in one location- but I really did enjoy it!

Yes I agree!!! Definately going to read it soon! Although second book reveals some- initial book on Odd Thomas must be magnificent!
