203.The Valkyries by: Paulo Coelho
1996-09
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Books : The Valkyries
This was the second of Paulo's books that I have read I loved it and couldn't put it down..I was gripped from the beginning as he and his wife were driving around in suburban America when suddenly they find the majestic mojave desert. I found the narritive wonderful and Coelho describes the desert heat, and cold and strange towns and stranger people and bizzare and life threatening experiences they had, of course including spiritual experiences without which Coelho's work would not seem complete. It is written in a very 'human' way as the author was frequently irritated and annoyed as well as awe inspired in this book and it is a easy to read account of a 40 day adventure.

well written, but felt like some kind of writing exercise: soulless and unengaging. Interesting in as much as it gives a feel for the way 'big history' fits in with personal history, but you end up not caring about the characters and their outcomes.

209.In Gallant Company by: Alexander Kent
June 13, 1977
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Books : In Gallant Company
This is the fifth book (in terms of the story--not the 5th written) in Kent's Richard Bolitho series. Our hero must fight in the American Revolution on the American coast adn the Caribbean. In on adventure, he must help take and destroy an American fort. The rest of the time, he more or less fights privateers.
What's good about this book? Well, there is just plenty of action. Kent keeps the book moving along pretty well from one adventure to the next. If you like a series with plenty of fighting, then this is the series for you. Also, it's a pretty easy read. The reader doesn't get lost in a lot of jargon. I enjoyed this book immensely and look forward to reading the next.

The Amelia Peabody books may or may not be an acquired taste, personally I love them. They are set in Victorian times when there were still very strict rules of etiquette and polite behaviour was the norm. Although most of the books are set in Egypt, in the desert under very trying conditions and extremely hot weather the `English' way of life was still expected to be adhered to, sometimes with ...
