reading this for the second time.

Amazing book. the moody landscape of the Pacific Northwest gives way to the final battle between good and evil, as a baseball game.

Not a kid’s book, by any stretch, though it’s kid-safe.

A little too heavy on politics (Communists are not the menace they once were): not one of Brooks’ best.

A good one for younger readers: Freddy saves his friend’s circus, saves Centerboro from a mouse invasion, and keeps the peace at the same time.

I read this quickly some months back and need to re-read it; I was disappointed in how it approached the material, and I need to see my expectations were out of kilter.

Amazing book(s). So lushly written it doesn’t need to be filmed (not that a movie could do it justice).

Not as strong as “A time of gifts” but worthy of your time. Will we ever see that final volume?

A great book: a fantastic mix of history, geography, politics, and humanity, all from a world that no longer exists.

This was a great book: I borrowed but I liked it so much I wish I had my own copy.

A library book so time ran out on me. A great resource by someone who obviously knows what he’s talking about.
