Wednesday's What's New!

Frozen Fire by Tim Bowler   
I just started reading this novel and thought to myself, I am no where near finishing it. So, I decided on reading parts of it at a time and then reporting my thoughts. This will be my first post pertaining to the book and to start it off I will tell you my impressions of the author.

My first impression was gained before even reading the first sentence. Reading two other of Tim Bowler's novels let me in on his writing style. First, he is British, so the wording is quite different at times. I suggest that before you read any of his writings, you look up common words used in British culture. Second, he is very descriptive, giving details of places and actions to help get a better perception of whats actual going on. While it can be good to have details, it can also leave the reader bored at times and skimming through the material to an interesting part, leaving out details. Since I already now his style, this book may have a different affect on me than it may have on someone with no experience with his writing.
Please visit next week when I start to really analyze the novel!
