"Little House in the Big Woods" is a cute book obviously intended for a reader much younger than I, and it is true that the story is very simplistic for my tastes, but I feel I can hardly knock it for that. The characters are good, especially Laura--I ...more |

| Feinstein says in his opener that his goal was to write a book about non-famous athletes and a non-famous sports story: that the "everyday" athletes (they are still college-talents in the Ivy League, but it is relative) and coaches still had interest ...more | |

"Medusa" tried to take a slightly new angle on a fairly well-established (thanks to Percy Jackson) archetype: modern young adult Greek myth. Ava is a good protagonist, and her friends are all solid too. The antagonists are a little more off-screen and ...more |

| I enjoyed this book. As a follower of Roman history, I actually appreciated that this wasn't a traditional straight-through history (which might be a lot of rehashing for me), but rather a series of short, mostly anecdotal information. Like any such ...more | |

"Cryptid Hunters" is one of my nine-year-old son's favorite books, and I can see why. As an adult, though, I was a little less impressed. Marty and Grace are good protagonists (although they do have too much of the unbelievable "perfect skill/knowledg ...more |

| I have recently started trying to play Dungeons & Dragons with my kids, and they bought me this book. It's a fun summary of some of the races, classes, backgrounds, weapons, and equipment you can choose when you create a D&D character. While not near ...more | |

"The Treasure of Carthage" isn't bad, but is the kind of book that just didn't quite work for me. The characters are fine (Berg's a little Bond-villainy but oh well), the historical tidbits are fine, the action is fine. However, I do think there's too ...more |

"The Omega Factor" was fine if unspectacular. Nick and Kelsey are solid protagonists. Claire is a solid...anti-hero I guess? She was interesting but I'm not sure if we were really supposed to be rooting for her. Fuentes is a solid villain. The plot mov ...more |

| "Carl's Doomsday Scenario" is a perfectly fine book, similar to the first: Carl and Princess Donut are good characters, there's some funny moments, lots of action happens. The world-building is pretty good, and there are more hints at stuff occurring ...more | |
