I'm about halfway thru and starting to wonder when the action starts (tho I have already come across the scary librarian (hee hee) a few times now. It feels almost too much like a history lesson to be a real vampire story. But not boring - I'm still reading a chapter or 2 every night.Violethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10547452802344363142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6085694.post-4755463555632739712009-01-15T12:44:00.000+13:002009-01-15T12:44:00.000+13:00Re The Historian: here's wot I wrote when I read i...Re The Historian: here's wot I wrote when I read it: http://satsumasalad.livejournal.com/63282.html <BR/><BR/>My nephew loved Madagascar 2 despite a lot of its content coming from, I believe, Madagascar 1.

I started it thinking, "Nah, it's just like Harry Potter. This is going to suck" and instead I'm craving it, all the time. The first book was fantastic, the second, eh, the third, better, and the fourth - awesome. I know a lot of women who generally read more literary books (me included) who are addicted to that set of books. And my mother, who doesn't read at all, it 87 pages in.aprilbapryllhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11586137769786683247noreply@blogger.com
