Books I've Read This Week

Necessary Evil by Ian Tregillis is the third novel in his Milkweed Triptych trilogy. At the stunning conclusion of the cold war has come at a great price and only Raybold Marsh with the help of the Nazi precog Gretel can set the world right again. This book is an excellent conclusion to the series. Go back and pick up the first novel The Coldest War and you won't be disappointed.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid #8 - Hard Luck by Jeff Kinney. Man it is hard not to laugh at the titular character Greg Heffley in this books. He's even more of a loser in this one as his only friend Rowley has got a girlfriend so Greg is on the outside looking in. It is super hard to cheer for him as he brings his troubles on himself but at the same time there is something endearing about Greg and you end up liking him. Dare I say it, he may even be growing up a bit in this one. It's quite a funny series of books for kids and kids at heart.
