 Kai Lung Unrolls His Mat - Ernest Bramah ... BooksNewest Review: ... indulgent should have no excuse for avoiding his entertainment. 'It is well said,' he remarked with becoming humility, 'that ... more ... the more insignificant the flower the handsomer the bees that are attracted to it, and the truth of the observation is borne out by this distinguished gathering of influential noblemen all condescending to listen to the second-rate elocution of so ill-endowed a person as the one who is now speaking.'"
This flowery habit of speech is a convention maintained throughout and by all characters, although few use it as felicitously as Kai Lung himself, as is the overblown politeness. Even the coarsest of villains affect...more |

The 80th anniversary of its publication and the 140th of its author's birth provide a suitable occasion to post this review. _______________________________________ "After enduring many hardships and suffering occasional inconvenience through the really flattering but too excessively persistent attentions of brigands, outlaws, underling officials, wild beasts of various kinds, snakes and scorpions, swollen rivers, broken paths and thunder-stones, Kai Lung came on the seventh day at evening to the outskirt of a trackless morass that barred his further progress."

One of the creations of one of the best sci fi authors ever! 
May be a tad confusing to anyone who's not read a Heinlein book before Fantastic Fantasy Unimaginative people beware Wonderful characters Slightly uneven pacing Great Story, Brialliantly Written Weakest of the three A very smooth transition from adult fiction to young adult. Realistic characters, fast paced plot. Drags a little in places, cliffhanger ending. Well writing, engaging plot and thoroughly enjoyable piece of sci-fi Occasionally the perspective causes some brief confusionLizzie Jordan's Secret Life - Chris Manby
Enjoyable, light, fun read a little far fetched at times, not as giid as some of her other novels
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone - J. K. Rowling
well written none
How to Know God - Deepak Chopra
The overall concept is compelling. Mr. Chopra's writing seems made only to impress the layman and not to offer any substantial arguments. The use of circular logic and assumptive reasoning hurt his arguments.
Winter Solstice - Rosamunde Pilcher
Good wholesome story A shade predictable, but for some readers that's no disadvantage
And I Don't Want to Live This Life - Deborah Spungen
See text See text
Bloodstain - The Vanishing of Peter Falconio - Richard Shears
Well argued case, easy to read book No clear alternative
The Cat in the Hat - Dr Seuss
fun, anarchic, helps with reading, dynamic, reads well aloud none whatsoever
The Sunshine of Your Smile - Joan Jonker
Romance - Jonker, Joan
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets - J. K. Rowling
full of suspense, fascinates children as well as adults, reading is very easy nothing
The Little Book of Confidence - Susan Jeffers
Positive, believable, simple solution to confidence issues Binding seems to come apart easily!
