Dance of the Crystal Skull

Summary: A good three hour story
Review: I picked this book up at the library for some easy reading because some friends told me it was good. I checked the ratings here on Amazon and found out that the spanish was wrong and that there really was no Utah/New Mexico border. That didn't help me much and I read the story. It was a good story and since I don't know spanish the language was no problem to me and I wasn't bothered. The story itself was good. I easily went through it in three hours and I found the difference of the story from anything else was good. I found the character a little rude though but it is rarly that the protaganist is so I went on. I thought the mix of the ghost and the sliver of magic involved was very interesting and since I had not read any of the other books it made me want to go back and read them.

Summary: A flawed mix of magic and mystery
Review: I was eager to read this mystery set in the southwest. However, on the first page there is a reference to our heroine in a small plane crossing the Utah-New Mexico border. The only place where Utah and New Mexico even touch is at Four Corners. Hardly a border. I was ready to overlook that goof and went on with the mystery. It was only mildly exciting, relying too much on this author's concept of magic realism. I was also disappointed in the many errors when Spanish words were used. I don't know if this is the fault of the author or poor editing, but the errors could easily have been checked in a dictionary. Let's hope the next book by Norma Lehr shows a bit more care with details and drama.

Summary: Jumping
Review: This book was extreamly fast paced and is almost soley based for the younger audience. Norma Lehr Writes of a girl who can see ghosts and hear them when others cannot. When Kathy-the girl- goes on a vacation to New Mexico. She starts to see visions of a crystal skull and things start to happen. The story itself kept my intrest as a reader and I thought the character a little blunt but it was a characteristic you don't really see in other books.I would recomend this to kids and to the adult who wants a couple hours worth of reading and an exciting story.
