Saturday Review of Books: October 13, 2007

If the crowns of all the kingdoms of the Empire were laid at my feet in exchange for my books and my love of reading, I would spurn them all.”
Francoise Fenelon

Welcome to this week’s Saturday Review of Books. Here’s how it works. Find a review on your blog posted sometime this week of a book you’re reading or a book you’ve read. The review doesn’t have to be a formal sort of thing. You can just write your thoughts on a particular book, a few ideas inspired by reading the book, your evaluation, quotations, whatever.

Now post a link here to the specific post where you’ve written your book review. Don’t link to your main blog page because this kind of link makes it hard to find the book review, especially when people drop in later after you’ve added new content to your blog. In parentheses after your name, add the title of the book you’re reviewing. This addition will help people to find the reviews they’re most interested in reading.

  1. Another Newbery for me: Julie of the Wolves. I wouldn’t recommend to a kid until 12-13, maybe 14. Because there is an attempted rape (that is not graphic, not really gone into at all as part of the story, but still…) and I don’t think most younger kids would get into the ecology as much. Or as many of the younger reviewers on amazon said, booooooring. LOL.
