New! Reading Anything Thread 2.0

[lester1/2jr]

just finishing "90% of everything" a non fiction book about the shipping industry. Basically, the whole word depends on it but meanwhile it's crews of Philipinos with white captains who are overworked and constantly paranoid about pirates and hitting right whales and stuff.

I just finished reading Horseman by Christina Henry.  It's a sequel to the Legend of Sleepy Hollow that takes place 30 years after the incident with Ichabod and the Headless Horseman. 

The book is face paced and for the most part interesting, but it's got three major flaws. 

The main character is a 14 year old girl who's the grand daughter of Brom Bones and Katrina.  She tells us every single chapter that she's a boy and refuses to every be a girl and you can't make her!  Nobody really seems to have a problem with this. 

She also will absolutely not stop telling us how her grandpa Brom is the biggest, strongest, toughest, most hansom, most popular, greatest thing that every lived. 

But the biggest problem is the last few chapters of the book.  It absolutely blows the ending. 

Not one I'd recommend.
