Books I've Read Lately
- The Dragon Tree, by Jane Langton — The newest of her series which includes "The Diamond in the Window" and "The Swing in the Summerhouse." This was a nice book, and a quick read. Allison also really enjoyed the book... I think it is written for about her age level.
- The Golden Gate, by Alistair MacLean — The presidential motorcade is hijacked on the Golden Gate Bridge. Pretty interesting story from the author who brought us "Ice Station Zebra," "Where Eagles Dare," and "The Guns of Navarone." Definitely one of MacLean's better books.
- Dark Lord of Derkholm, by Dianna Wynne Jones — This is a fun book about a kind genetic engineer, who also happens to be a wizard. He gets assigned to be the "Dark Lord" for the adventuring tourists who visit his world. He and his family get into all sorts of mischief. Jones' recent books are much longer and better written than her older books, propably due to the "Harry Potter" factor: writers are now allowed to publish 800 page books for Young Adults.
