  • The Road to Grafenwöhr on Oct. 13, 2011

    I don't typically read fantasy novels, but I'm not sure I can put The Road to Grafenwohr entirely in that genre. Edward C. Patterson pays great attention to character development and paints a scene on your brain in a way that makes you feel like you are seeing the story play out before your eyes. I finished this book days ago, yet I still find myself thinking about PFC Summerson, Ratz, and the other characters, wondering what they will do next. That, to me, is the mark of a good story. The only negative thing I can say is that there are several typos throughout the book, though they weren't serious enough to take away from the story. It is a good read. A very good read, and I look forward to reading more by this author.
