Is anyone’s library excurions quite complicated? Boy, I tell ya! I have books on different due dates, ILL that have been rechecked, ILL that can’t be rechecked therefore haveta be returned, books that have been rechecked once so haveta be put back into the system and taken right back out again by me, books that have been put back and taken right out twice…you name it!

Yes yes, sufficiently bratty!

I finished Dragon’s Keep with mixed feelings; it was dark and dreary, and the girl was subjected (is that even a word, ahem?) to such abuse by the dragon without hardly standing up to him that I got mad, thinking about how I wouldn’t stand fer it! (I can be somewhat of a spitfire.) The ending was ok, but all throughout the book there was this running theme that dragons are better and more morally sound that humans, who are thieves and murderers, and the only thing that kept the heroine decent was the fact that she had a dragon’s claw. I couldn’t figure out in the end whether the girl proved that humans aren’t as bad as all that, or if she was proud of her claw because dragons are indeed better than humans. I don’t like books that demean humans because, after all, I am one!

The first and fourth are the best, but like I’ve said before: the middle ones went way over my head as far as technology went! The only thing that kept me reading was perhaps Professor Hamilton and Walter!!! And the fact that I might have wanted to find out what happens next…
