A friend of mine gave me this whole series (four books in total) and recommended that I read them because he was sure I would love them.

I finally got around to reading this, after having it sitting on my shelf for far too long, and I have to say I'm happy I've read it. It's only the third 'classic' I've read, after 1984 and Lord of The Flies (according to a list I found online) and though I like this book,... Continue Reading →
