  • Not my favorite Butler book, but this twist on a vampire story was still a very good read. Unlike I am Legend, this book deals more with the social aspects of a vampire community, which illuminate our own family and community relationships.

Cover of Mouse Guard

    I really enjoyed this book. The author says it is written for a general audience, but at times he does get pretty heavy into some different areas of science, most notably chemistry.

    An excellent debut for a promising new series and a good departure for those who are a bit tired of epic fantasy. This book follows the life of Locke Lamora, a professional thief.

Think: a cross between a caper movie and a fantasy novel.
