My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I did enjoy this book but found it slow going to begin with and found it didn't really get exciting to about half way through.

Two on a Tower by Thomas Hardy

Two on a Tower by Thomas Hardy
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed this book. I thought Hardy's writing was very rich and a pleasure to read.
In so many cases I read reviews on Classic's that are negative. I think too many people forget how many years ago they were written and try to compare the writing of then, to today.

The War of the Dwarves by Markus Heitz

The War of the Dwarves by Markus Heitz
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Absolutely loved it. I thought it was even better than the first book which I gave 5 stars to.
Over 700 pages long and when I came to the end, it left me wanting to read more.

Elves: Once Walked with Gods

Elves: Once Walked With Gods by James Barclay
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I found this rather difficult to get into. The Elves were not portrayed in the way Elves usually are, but that was OK. I had trouble working out the different threads of Elves and thought that it could of been explained more.
Saying that, I did enjoy the book and will read the rest of the set.

Keeping up to date

In 2011 I managed to read 80 books, and a lot of those were 500 pages plus, so overall I did pretty well.

I am going to try and keep up with this blog and enter my books as I finish them!
