----"Kim", by Rudyard Kipling, was an excellent book. It was thought provoking and uses just the right words to describe things. In addition, it really teaches you a lot about India when it was occupied by the British.
----However, like any book, there were downsides. Whole pages could have been deleted and no one would have cared. Sometimes the story drags and the characters seem like idiots.
----But it was still ridiculously better that the trash in the teen section of the bookstore. Even not compared to trash, it was good.
----I would recommend this book to anyone who likes historical fiction and spy movies. If anyone has read the Alex Rider series written by Anthony Horowitz, this is very similar. Just be prepared to ignore the words you don't know- which for me was about one word in fifteen.
----I would NOT recommend this book to someone who couldn't care less about history or world religions. There's a lot of cultures and belief systems swirled through this book, some of which are demonic. If you take offense to that or just aren't interested, don't read it.
----Oh yeah, and don't read it if you've already read my posts that give everything away. Sorry.
----Well, that's a wrap, I guess. Who knows what the next book will be?
