I leaned forward in eager anticipation, trying not to let my eyes goggle or my mouth hang open. (from page 1) The moment you get your hands on the newest Flavia de Luce, all other reading gets set aside. And yet, it's difficult to pace yourself; you w ...more |

| I think the story of Tarzan is known well-enough that I don't need to summarize the book, but this surprised me at how entertaining it was. A word of warning, however: if you're easily offended by the mores and attitudes of people a hundred years ago ...more | |
