dlmrose - how was swimming with the dead? I have it marked as a possible SRC book

Dee wrote: "dlmrose - how was swimming with the dead? I have it marked as a possible SRC book"

I think the "thrilling" in the description was an overstatement, but it did have a pretty good sense of place. I liked Hannah.

I can't believe how much you've read already! Almost half done...wow. You're my hero. :)

oh, i might have to check out that Homer Hickam one DLMrose - he is an alumnus of my college and I've been lucky enough to meet him/listen to him talk

I was looking forward to that one, Dee, but....I can't recommend it, but YMMV. I don't give 2 stars lightly; I always round up. The tone kept changing, the timing was implausible, pretty ridiculous
I wanted so much more from Hickam, but the description of the Solomon Islands seemed pretty good
