Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There by Lewis Carroll
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I listened to the Librivox dramatization audiobook. Very entertaining, but not as good as Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. The first few chapters of the book was a bit boring, but the rest became more enjoyable. I just had to laugh at the silliness of the characters.

Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This was a fun read! But then again it has to be, because it’s a children’s story. I only listened to an audiobook of this, and I liked it very much. The version I got used different voice actors for the characters, so it’s almost like watching a movie. I found out that I almost know everything about this story before I even listened to it, thanks to the different types of movies out there, most notably Disney’s. I’ll definitely get a copy of this book for my collection.

Grimms’ Fairy Tales by Jacob Grimm
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I have the paperback for this but found it hard to read because of the small font, so I listened to an audiobook version instead. It wasn’t as complete as I thought, but it had most of the story. All stories are entertaining, and some are quite shocking that you wouldn’t think of them as children’s stories.

Daniel X: Demons and Druids by James Patterson
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This was better than the last one, probably the best of the series. Still, it’s not “great”, just good. Loved the time-traveling powers he learned, and also the mythology around England.

Daniel X: Watch the Skies by James Patterson
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
An ok read. I wanted to say this is worse than the first book in the series, but that sounds bad, and I am not comfortable dissing my fave author’s works lol. I still don’t like the main character that much, so finishing this book was a more difficult than the first. What probably carried me through was the action scenes and the light humor. It could probably use a little more plot twists.

The Dangerous Days of Daniel X by James Patterson
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
You can rely on James Patterson to come up with a fast-read book. This was a young adult novel, probably his first? It’s his answer to the recent popularity of YA books. It’s sci-fi, so that’s different from his other works. I kind of don’t like the main character Daniel, I thought he’s arrogant. The other characters are likeable though.
In other news, I think I am all caught up with my Goodreads challenge. I’ll continue reading this series to put some buffer when I start reading my other, thicker books.

The first half was boring, the last half was the exciting part. Also, not sure if it was because I was reading the book fast or if it was written that way, but some parts seemed too short, like it was summarized instead of fleshing them out.
