Fate of Thorik by Anthony G. Wedgeworth

I'm sorry, but I was unable to finish this book. I've been trying for over a month to get into it, and I only managed about 90 pages before sheer disinterest forced my hand. The book is targeted more for a juvenile/YA audience, and if something is in that genre, it's got to be truly spectacular to keep my interest.

I did chuckle a bit about the local wise man reciting "spiritual limericks". Might have to see if I can write some spiritual limericks on a Sunday morn.

I may try to hand this book and its sequels off to someone younger, to give it a fair read. Could be a guest post in it for some lucky teen.

Raising Dragons by Bryan Davis

I don't really read much YA or juvenile stuff these days, for obvious reasons, but someone had recommended Davis' series, and I thought I'd check it out. Sorry, folks, but after about ten pages, I put it down and gave up. It was just way too...juvenile. It began with a boy dreaming that he was a dragon, in a fight with a knight, and just didn't catch my attention.
I wouldn't give it a downcheck for those who like to read stuff written for very young readers, and if one of you has a good slant on it, let me know, and perhaps I can post a rebuttal guest post.
