| "Fatherland" was very well written and extremely thought-provoking. The premise--that it's 1964 and Germany had won World War II--is fascinating. I love that the main protagonist is a German policeman, a man who comes to realize that his society is e ...more | |

| This graphic novel was fine: plot fairly straight-forward but with some good action; artwork helped tell the tale; I appreciated that this was a story about the OG World War II Cap and Bucky. A fun, uncomplicated adventure. | |

| I will admit openly that "Going Rogue" is a bit of a soft "4"; I wasn't sure but I re-read my review of the first book and said "It almost merited a "4", it probably would have if it had played around with the parallel worlds more but nevertheless a ...more | |

"Master of Evil" didn't quite work for me. I thought it was interesting to make the main character a member of the Emperor's Royal Guard--as far as I can remember, I've never seen those silent, creepy red-robed figures even have a name, much less thei ...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 |
