Chain Reading

I am so not the target reader for this book.

Very similar in quality to earlier books in the series. If you like them, you'll like this one.

Too arch and self-consciously wacky.

Excellent light entertainment.

There's nothing groundbreaking about Kate White's work, but she is eminently readable and smart. The character of Bailey Weggins is believable, and you'd like to have her as a friend. That's saying something.

Wow. There are some books I regret not having read when I was younger so that I could have the joy of reading them again now that I'm older. This is one of those books. It's simply wonderful.

I thought I would really enjoy this, but I could never get remotely interested. Maybe I'm too old. I sure feel old.

Really charming and quite affecting. I look forward to reading more from Suzanne Collins.

This was a breeze of a read, and I think I'll read the next in the series. Alex Rider is a pretty good character and, though I didn't really find this book particularly satisfying, I think there's potential here.

I love Catherine LeVendeur. She is both a product of her time and refreshingly human. These books are never dumbed down or sensational, but are intricate and measured. If you like mysteries, give them a try.
