Son likes Heroes of Old

My son “Mike,” age 16, is carrying the book Heroes of Old around with him, the one by Jay L. Young that I reviewed. He really likes this book—it’s right up his alley, with plenty of detail about the X-men style hero characters. We’ll see if he likes it enough to buy the other two books. That would take most of his Christmas money.

When he read this first book, he skipped some of the scenes from the ancient days. He was focusing on the contemporary characters. The way this book is put together, that works out OK–the entire story is eventually told in the present day. Funny way to read a book though.

I’ve started reading another book to review but haven’t finished it yet. So, hold on, dear readers! I haven’t forgotten you!
