Alcatraz Versus the Evil Librarians (Alcatraz) by Brandon Sanderson
Alcatraz Versus the Evil Librarians (Alcatraz)

I wish I could have read this when I was 12. (way back when) A very creative story filled with the kind of goofy humor that younger readers can really identify with. Who knew that always being late could be a super power?

I LOVE this series of books more and more with each one that comes out. GREAT books for any kid or big kid too!! Every bit as good as the Artemis Fowl or Harry Potter books.

The Gathering Storm: The Wheel of Time #12 by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson
The Gathering Storm: The Wheel of Time #12

davidwmack, November 18, 2009

In all fairness, I should give this book 6 stars. I'm being totally serious. The hopes and expectations for this book have been VERY high. It exceeds them all!! Brandon and "Team Jordan" have done an AMAZING job of bringing this book to life from the notes and outlines that Robert Jordan left when he passed. It is as good or better than any of the other Wheel of Time books. The voice may be a little different but the story is true to Robert Jordan. A couple of chapters in you dont even notice the difference. You will NOT be disappointed!

If you like Artemis Fowl and graphic novels you will really like this. A really cool adaptation of the book into graphic novel form. The younger readers will really like it. I'm not really a big fan of graphic novels myself but, I really liked this one. Also, NEVER miss a chance to meet Eoin Colfer in person.
