The Journal of Curious Letters

The 13th Reality
The Journal of Curious Letters

This book sat on my shelves for some time. Something about the cover just didn't appeal to my interest as much other books. However you can't judge a book by its cover.

James Dashner takes the reader on a journey that is unique and appeals to the imagination. While the idea of Quantum Physics has been used in several books, tv-series, and movies, his approach is unique enough to make it stand out against the competition.

Tick is a young boy that eventually teams up with several others to save the Realities from Miss Jane. Miss Jane is the only real drawback to the story in my opinion. However the story was written well enough for me to overlook that aspect of the book. Looking forward to reading subsequent novels in the series.

G.G. Vandagriff

G.G. Vandagriff

GG Vandagriff graduated from Stanford University and received an MA from George Washington University in International Relations, specializing in the economics, politics, and history of Central Europe. She had a career in finance before she began her family. Her latest book, The Last Waltz, was begun 33 years ago, founded on the research she did as a student in Austria and for her degrees. Knowing that in order to write an epic, she needed more “life experience”, she worked on it only intermittently until her recovery from a twenty-five year depression in 2006. It was published in April, 2009. She loves mysteries and genealogy and combined them for her five volume genealogical mystery series. A lover of Wales, Suspense, and King Arthur's Legend, she plotted The Arthurian Omen to include all three. Her non-fiction book on depression was co-written with her husband and son to help others with the disease find hope for recovery. She lives in Provo, is married to David Vandagriff, has three grown children and one grandchild.
