I'm hooked back into the series now, and with a new Harry Potter film due in 2025, I'll read them all now
Again, lots of questions I didn't think of from the kids listening to me read this
It was fun reading this aloud to children, they had different questions about the story than I had which made it an interesting re-read for me.
I love the way this book compares the development of people's seafaring skills in other parts of the world with Pacific peoples in a timeline. The illustrations are stunning.
One of the two main characters, Molly, was blimmin annoying. I nearly gave up reading this book.
I read this after Tears of Rangi. Some content is similar and some is new to me.
I found it a fascinating read, I learnt a lot
Predictable and so it was boring
A bit more predictable than the others in the series.
The third in this series of fast-paced detective adventures and the lines between reality and the literary worlds become more blurred.
The 2nd book in a series. Fast-paced story-line and an easy read on a summer holiday
An adventure-packed detective story set in the backdrop of a mash-up of colloqialisms, history, and fine literature. It's a fun read.
Stunning pictures and I appreciated learning about events during my childhood that I only knew from the 6 O'Clock News on TV.
The crime element of the story was good as it was not obvious who the killer was, but the romantic element was reminiscent of Mills & Boon and out of character for the heroine
Quite a few storylines to keep you turning the pages
Re-reading an old favourite is a treasure. The book is a collection of short stories stories which makes it the perfect book to read during term time; I can dip into it for a moment, and finish a whole story before coming back to it a week later.
Funny, funny, honest, rude bits, and some swearing
I loved it and even understood the quantum physics part. I loved the insightful parts of Einstein's thought experiments.
