In the Balance: An Alternate History of the Second World War (Worldwar, Volume 1)
Harry Turtledove
Del Rey, 1994
Great storytelling marred by amateurish writing
+ Great alternate history with enough sci-fi to remain interesting
+ If you liked 'V' you'll like this series
Having put down "How Few Remain" largely out of disinterest, my yearning for a good World War II alternate history novel (before I learned of "Fatherland" and others) inevitably lead me here.
Lizard-like aliens (called "Lizards" by humanity) invade Earth in 1942, expecting to encounter ...

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Book 7)
J. K. Rowling
Arthur A. Levine Books, 2007
Backward fan
+ Amazing ending to an amazing series
+ GREAT!!!
I started backward. I watched all the Harry Potter movies--and got lost. I really didn't see what all the hype was about. Somebody told me it was "simple": wave wand about, have unicorns and giants...the usual fantasy. I had no desire to "find out what happens". Yeah, I'd probably go watch ...
