A Robot In The Garden

By Deborah Install

I have to admit, the first part of the book read like a first draft. It reminded me of the process of writing during NaNoWriMo, where you just put on paper (well, digital paper) whatever comes to your mind, because you have to reach a certain word count. Things might make sense, but they don't necessarily read right. But by the end of the book I thought it was quite worth the read. It was a fun read, not too deep, but also not too shallow. [315 pp.]

The Insides

By Jeremy P. Bushnell

Another evidence for the effectiveness of judging a book by its cover. This book is very accessible and sort of fast-paced, almost like an action movie, but with an actual plot and events that make sense. Mixing people's inner lives with reality and magic, the book tells the story of two women who come in the path of a power-seeking man. [286 pp.]

The Horseman

By Tim Pears

I was just about to say that the ending of this book would only make sense if it there were to be a sequel, and indeed, I just found out that it is a part of a trilogy. Well, I guess now I have to look around for the next ones... It was interesting, but I felt the end was sort of sudden. The boy who is for years being groomed by his adored father as a horse-handler prodigy is, seemingly out the blue, being cast away. [320 pp.]
