I read this book as an adult, in preparation for giving it to our nephew at Christmastime. I wanted to make sure that the book would be well-suited to him, and also was eager to refresh and deepen my own basic chess skills. I found the writing to be clear and approachable. The sections and chapters of the book are thoughtfully structured and well organized. Illustrative examples and opportunities for practice and application of concepts and skills are interspersed throughout the book in a timely and helpful manner. The author provides a list of resources for further learning and practice as well. I highly recommend this book as a great starting point or refresher for children and adults who wish to play chess!

I loved this book. It was like a walk down memory lane as he describes the roles he did and his journey through Hollywood.

Another cute book in the series. Cute characters, narrated perfectly, light and fluffy. Great late night read.

This is a great book! The series intrigued me alot and it was fun learning about Lunas adventure as the battle continues. We can all relate to Luna with her adventurous and courageous side. Overall it was great but not my favorite of the series

Junie B Jones is the silliest girl ever!

Re-reading

An historical fiction based on a real person, a former friar in Germany during WWII who joins the resistance and along with his wife encourages the town people to to continue living their lives by supporting each other and especially the children. An uplifting story, beautifully descriptive and emotionally charged.

Not my favorite, I wasn’t a huge fan of either main character and found the plot was very predictable.

I thought that I would like this more than I did. I liked reading from the viewpoint of Lily more than Matthew. Although the plot of this story kind of reminded me of Crazy Rich Asians.

A typical Gabriel Allon book which actually had two parts to it which Made it longer than usual. It was good and enjoyable.
