9 October

Well, I finished Gregor the Overlander last night. I don't hate the book or anything, but I do think there is something a little odd going on. It takes almost three-fourths of the book for Gregor to get himself organized and on the road with his troupe but it only takes him two chapters to rescue his dad and return to Regalia. What's up with that? The build-up is great.. just the ending lacks something. Drama maybe? Suspense? Action? He just walks down some creepy tunnels and suddenly he's reached his dad. No big battle or anything like that. It just sits funny.

On the flipside, I tried to get my six-year-old niece to let me read her Beyond Einstien by Michio Kaku. She humored me, but for some reason she wasn't into the unified field theory at all. I think I read a page.
