Confessor

Great end to the series, even though I'm sad to say farewell to the amazing Richard. The last book reminded me of why I fell in love with this series to begin with. It was a great tie in to the first book of the series. I love the way Terry Goodkind writes and I will definitely be re reading this series.

Ranger's Apprentice: Erak's Ransom

I was slightly worried when I read that this book was a type of afterthought to the flow of the series. But once again Mr. flanagan created a great story and once I was a 1/4 way into the book I couldn't put it down. This series is fantastic for younger independent readers. Good, fun, and clean stories.

The Gargoyle

Interesting....
I didn't love this book. But I didn't hate it either. It had a good premise and I loved the history aspect to the story. I think my main problem with this book is that I could never completely connect to the main character/narrator. I found him selfish, arrogant and even though he was a tragic figure for the most part I could not pity him.
Worth a read. But if you don't watch rated R movies this probably isn't the book for you.... it can be graphic in areas.
