Ramsey's Book Reviews

This page contains my summaries, reviews and WILL contain spoilers. I won't post on every book I read, but I'll try to include many. If you're more interested in things I'm writing, well I'm currently writing a shared story of fantasy in a yahoo group of my own construction. I also dabble with a couple of novels and short stories set in the Mystic Realms used in my RPG.

Subject: The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown

I thought that the beginning of the book was fast paced and full of interesting intrigue. It slowed down for me a bit in the middle and I find that the ending truly lacked the punch I suspected it might have. All told, this book inspires me to do some research on the history of many things religious and otherwise. It inspires me to think more deeply about faith and my ideas of religion. I typically don't need much inspiration on those topics, so perhaps it was a good book for me to read. Anyway, that's all for me for now.

Subject: Fortress of Grey Ice by JV Jones

This book was good. I'm surprised by the deaths. Baralis doesn't make his official entrance yet, but Crope does somehow manage to free him. Its amazing how much you find yourself rooting for Crope all the time. It appears as if the Spire Vanis dude bites it. It also amazes me how much the little ones seem like they'll have a great impact on the final story. Bram, Raif, and Effie are the ones I root for these days. The end of this book (other than the end of the great Sull warriors Ark and Mal) was kinda anti-climatic. Raif wanders into the Blight to kill some awesome demon. He is a cool character but it was.... strange. Perhaps it will make sense with book three.
