3. "The Butterfly Forest" by Tom Lowe
Sat May 12, 2012, 11:22 PM
May 2012

Finished it last night, actually.

Rose, if we can agree that the first two books in the Sean O'Brien series sucked mightily, I'd have to say this one was actually pretty good! Enough so that I didn't find myself groaning over horrible dialog, and was actually interested to get back to my room and pick up where I left off.

If this was the only book of Lowe's I had read, I'd recommend him. As it is, though, the first two were pretty awful... I'll probably see what he does for #4 (and there is a #4; there was a sneak preview in the back of this one).

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms in the group!
