Lol, I love it, because I ended up reading them to the munchkins. I still the series overall and the films but... I don't understand why it was passed as a children's series, as there's so much abuse towards children, which is bizarre...
Mind you, I often mix up even my kids' names. But I don't recall even saying Hi and Welcome to the forum to you, @Caitlin D Burnside. Great name! I am from my little farm in Wisconsin.
I just finished reading two of James Patterson books; Lion and Lamb and The Summer House. I liked both of those books. Now I have just started reading a book by Minka Kent titled, Imaginary Strangers, and it seems to be pretty good so far.
I'm another one who reads a lot of James Patterson's books. I like his style of writing but the stories are not really credible and his attention to detail is a bit off. For instance, most professional people have two phones, one for work calls and a separate one for personal calls. Surely a detective investigating a crime scene wouldn't have his young son sending messages giving details of his day? Would a kidnapper provide his victim with everything they needed to effect an escape? This is what happened in the last book I read....all very convenient! One the subject of Harry Potter....something which concerns me is the abuse of animals. I can only suppose that J.K. Rowling is not an animal lover herself and so sees nothing wrong with her cavalier attitude to their suffering. It's good to see that so many people continue to read books and there are many new authors trying their hand at writing. Depending on the television for entertainment is bad for your mind.
I just started The Perfect Predator about using bacteriophages to treat antibiotic resistant infections.
