See you later Eleanor, Nancy’s back and we’re all going on a quest! It’ll be great. After all, how dangerous could the Halls of the Dead be for a gang of living teens? That’s right kids, Nancy’s back! Nancy’s been perfecting her standing stillness as a living statue in the Halls of the Dead since her Door reappeared way back in book three. She is still very sure that she’s where she’s meant to be. However the unquiet dead are suddenly on the rampage and […]

Fighting the book

The Book That Did Not Want to Be Read by David Sundin

by Leave a Comment

When good words go bad you get this book. This book is called The Book That Did Not Want to Be Read by David Sundin. The nonsense is trying to be clever but falls flat. However, there will be a reader some place, somewhere, that will say that this is the most wonderful and fantastic book ever. This is not a book for everyone.

So, without feather ado, here’s the rest of the “review”: The “plot,” […]

Dear Cannonball Readers: I am so sorry. I voted for The Devourers for this Book Club Read. I thought it looked awesome. I hated it. This review is a two-star review. Because yes, I hated it, but the end was just okay. It finally picked up. Something finally happened. There was a point. The point was aggravating and boring and seriously not worth it, but it was finally there. These shapeshifters are full of some damn nonsense. You’re a superior creature, but your social rules […]
