The Kane Chronicles: Book 2: The Throne of Fire

            The Throne of Fire, by Rick Riordan, is a continuation of siblings Carter and Sadie Kane's adventure.  I think it was even funnier than the last book.  In The Throne of Fire, something unexpected, and most likely hilarious, is around every corner.  Rick Riordan has managed to fit comedy in the most serious situations in the past and he continues to do so.   I recommend this amazing book for people of all ages.
             Rick Riordan is the author of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians and Heroes of Olympus series.  They are all very humorous and I enjoyed them all.  The books in The Kane Chronicles are called The Red Pyramid, The Throne of Fire, and The Serpent's Shadow.  I have not read The Serpent's Shadow yet.  I am planning to read it after I finish The Mark of Athena, the third book in the Heroes of Olympus series.

The Time Quintet: Book Five: An Acceptable Time

            The Time Quintet:  Book Five:  An Acceptable Time, by Madeleine L'Engle was, by far, the worst book in the Time Quintet Series.  The story was hard to follow, easy to get disinterested, and the main conflict was near the end of the book.  It was mostly page fillers and unimportant events.  I got so bored with the book that I skimmed through most of it.  I can't believe that Madeleine L'Engle wrote An Acceptable Time.
