Spring Book Thingy 2022

Since our local schools have a couple of spring breaks, I had the opportunity to do some early spring (or late winter) reading.

I’m going in order of when I read them.

First up: Dune by Frank Herbert

Maybe this was a case of too much hype setting my expectations too high, but I didn’t care for this book. Parts of it moved slowly, the morality was not something I’d want my kids exposed to, and other parts were fine. Some books I want to keep reading, but this one I had to kind of force myself to finish it. It wasn’t awful, but I’m not signing up to read any more of the Dune series.

Next up: The Beirut Protocol by Joel C. Rosenberg

This book is a continuation of the Marcus Ryker story, which started with The Kremlin Conspiracy. I liked it, and I liked the other books in the series. If you are a fan of Joel C. Rosenberg’s fiction books, then you should like this one.

Next up: Masterminds 2 by Gordon Korman

This book is a continuation of the first Masterminds book, which was just waiting for the other two books to make a full story. If you liked the first Masterminds story you should like this one too – it’s a continuation of the story. If you haven’t read the first story then do that before reading this one.

Normally I like to read books before the kids do, so I know what’s going on. Delta checked these out of the library and read them, then he gave them to me and said I should read them. So that was backwards, but I had read the first one, and it’s Gordon Korman, so I wasn’t worried.

Finally: Masterminds 3 by Gordon Korman

Ditto, whatever I said about book 2 applies to book 3. It was a fun book, a fun series – no regrets from reading this like I had with Dune.

That’s it for this review. More book reviews coming up later this year.

They conceive harm and give birth to wrongdoing, And their mind prepares deception.
