Review: The Silent World

Image
The Silent World by Jacques-Yves Cousteau My rating: 5 of 5 stars This book is fascinating. The descriptions of what they saw and felt are almost palpable, written is such a way that I could almost experience it myself. Each thing mentioned is backed up with why they did it, whether for science or posterity, or just to do it. Cousteau writes with amazing voice. I simply loved everything in this book. I recommend it to everyone. To people interested in nature, in science, in swimming, in history, in everything. View all my reviews

Review: Trouble on Reserve (The Hollows, #10.5).

Trouble on Reserve (The Hollows, #10.5). by Kim Harrison My rating: 5 of 5 stars A great little short playing Trent and Rachel in a familiar but fun little adventure. Harrison asked her readers how we felt about the "voice" since she tried to write the short more "mainstream" but I really didn't notice much of a difference. Maybe because when I read a Hollows novel there's already a well worn groove in my brain for how everything flows. View all my reviews
