Growing up, my favorite authors were Enid Blyton and Roald Dahl. They are both British and they both wrote awesome books that had adventure and made my imagination wander to places I could only dream about. I have my dad to thank for introducing me to Enid Blyton; I sure am glad he did!
Last night I finished The Valley of Adventure (Blyton) for the seventh or eighth time and came to a realization. I figured out that the reason I like Harry Potter so much (also by a British author) is because J.K. Rowling managed to find the level of adventure that Blyton and Dahl both had.
What can I say, it turns out I like British Authors who write about adventure and excitement. If you've never read an Enid Blyton book, do so. Same goes for Roald Dahl; even though I think most of us have read his work, which includes:Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Matilda, BFG, James and the Giant Peach and many more....
I have decided I will be writing reviews of the books I read this year.
The reviews will include my opinion of the story line, ability to keep my attention, and whatever other summations the book brings about.
Until Next Time,
