Why mini-reviews?

I just returned from three weeks out of state and away from my computer. During that time, I read four novels and three non-fiction books. Most of them were library books, and I have to return some of them tomorrow to avoid fines. I thought about just skipping the reviews, but I really liked these books. Rather than stay up all night writing complete reviews, I have provided basic information and links to reviews others have written. After this, I’ll return to my regular format.

  • Excellent site, very professional. Includes links to two other reviews.

• And, of course, a short review on Wikipedia. Enjoy!

  • Digital Fortress: A Thriller

• Curledup.com

• WAP.org
  • The Washington Apple Pi site; run by Mac enthusiasts. They reviewed Digital Fortress because it is “almost-pure geek.”

Phantom by Terry Goodkind

Fantasy, 5 Stars

This is the final book in Goodkind’s excellent Sword of Truth series, which I started nearly four years ago. After waiting over a year each for the last three books to be released, they are finally all out, and I highly recommend them. I suggest you start with Wizard’s First Rule (Sword of Truth, Book 1) and read them in order.

  • Phantom: Chainfire Trilogy, Part 2 (Sword of Truth, Book 10)
