“Oh there is people who have actually read the peace :D...”

Written on: 28/07/2010

Oh there is people who have actually read the peace :D Thank you for the comments everyone. I thought I only gave it to family and sold to few people.

... I will kick the proofreader around a little bit.

And I will consider all the comments while trying to write the next book. (and pay for pro-proofer).

Written on: 22/07/2010

It's not that I am of two minds about this book - I am of as many minds as Jansson has pieces (and for those who have not read it yet - it means "a lot").

Exiting new writer, Yrjo Sakari Pennala brings amazing adventure for us to enjoy. It combines skilfully Adventure and Sci-Fi genres. The Gathering is not too technical and suits all readers from techno freak to Potter fan. Once started it can't be stopped. Just when you think you could take a break something happens and you are mesmerized back to reading the book... when we can have some more, Please. (read more)
