November Book Reviews

Outlander by Diana Gabaldon
Probably the longest book I've ever read.  It is a story of a women that travels back in time 200 years in Scotland.  The characters have depth and are very interesting, but the story is too slow with too much violence.  Grade: C-

Departure by A.G. Riddle
I don't know what it is with me and time travel books, but this story has a group of plane passengers going 200 years into the future.  The book seeks to explore issues of technology and the impact of technological developments on people.  Good but not great.  Grade: B

The Hike by Drew Magary
Probably the strangest book I've read.  It is about a man that goes for a hike and enters a surreal world.  It is a more modern and more twisted Odyssey-type story. Read if you like strange stories, but skip it if they are not your thing.  Grade: B-
