Rating: Summary: Solid, if short Review: Not a bad book for Willis, who I don't think can turn out a truly *dreadful* book. But I think there are a lot of things she could have done with this one, but didn't.Ah, well. It made for a nice little read!

Rating: Summary: Uncharted Territory Review: This book wasn't like most of Connie's other books I have read... but I really enjoyed it. I want to see a few more books about this realm and the characters...(!!) It was extremely short, which I originaly thought would help me... considering my busy schedule... though keeping track of "what was what" was a challenge some times (it all ways is hard for me to keep up, in novels that speak of other realms... where things are named differntly than I would be used to -- but that's just the price to pay for some thing realy differnt -- and I don't mind it, I pretty much love it). It took me longer to read/follow this story than Doomsday Book (and Doomsday Book was hugely longer than Uncharted Territory). I read Doomsday Book in one week end. It took me around 3 weeks to get through Uncharted Territory... but it was well worth it to me. It is a book about "Uncharted Territory"... an expidition of sorts... and there are things happening beneath the surface that maybe some people don't pick up on -- it was very intersting to me, and I was not disapointed at all... but I see it has not gotten real good reviews from other people. I thought it was great and it ranks pretty way up there with me. I'm sorry some of you folks didn't enjoy it, I hate when that happens... you pick up a book thinking this is going to be the greatest, and then get let down... but I honestly don't feel let down about this one. Maybe it just appeals to a certain type of person (insane ones may be, like me?? ::grin::) Sincerely, swann
Rating: Summary: A disappointment Review: Uncharted Territory was short and rather dense. Willis does not do much explaining, and you have to be willing to "not know stuff" for the first part of the book. But if you keep reading, you will find this book to be clever and interesting. I did. Willis does a lot of clue imbedding throughout and if you pay attention, you might be able to guess what's coming, but it's enjoyable even if you don't. I actually liked it better the second time through because I caught so much more. Recommended.
