Far Ahead of its Time
While some of it is quite dated, by today's standards, the concepts in this novel were far ahead of its time that make it a relevant and enjoyable read decades later. I just got my copy back from my son, a graduating senior and fellow bookworm, who rated it one of his top 3 novels ever read.

As well as the love of reading, I also seem to have passed on my love of history to the Mini Bookworm. He is 8 and I often find myself digging him out of a pile of "Horrible Histories" books just to tuck him in at night!
So when I saw the cover and concept of "A Day in the Life of a Caveman, a Queen and Everything Inbetween", requesting a spot on the book tour was a no brainer.
This GORGEOUS book takes the concept of the illustrations within HH books and totally runs with it. The comic book style really spoke to the mini bookworm and really kept him engaged for a long period of time. In fact, when I asked him if he had any negative points for this review he thought for a very long time before finally saying "it just wasn't long enough".
The topics are presented in one page snippets - it's not going to teach your kids all about one particular subject but, in my opinion, it is going to get them excited to learn more.
As a parent, I also really appreciated the progression of the topics into modern history. The civil rights page initiated a whole conversation about segregation and racism for example! Similarly, fossil fuels and global warming are factors that greatly affect our youngsters, but are presented in a really fun way.
Thank you to Mike Barfield and Jess Bradley for creating this wonderful book, and to Love Books Tours for giving the Mini Bookworm and I the opportunity to review it. As we live in the same county as Mike Barfield the Mini Bookworm did initially want to find him to be his friend, but apparently will settle for adding "A Day in the Life of a Poo, a Gnu and You" to his Christmas list!

Skipping between the dates so hard to follow up
Hard to read
This book took almost three weeks for me to finish, whenever I am a really big bookworm. It's written is a modern way, with modern language, but really slowly taking into the action. The book is about 370 pages and until the last 20 pages you won't even have a clue what's really going on.

Lots of development possible
I'm a big fan of the social media platform Goodreads because I'm a bookworm. However, the app itself leaves me consistently disappointed. It's generally a 'buggy' platform and often gives the message 'unable to load' particularly in relation to seeing comments on your reviews. I've had this app for 5 years across a number of devices and this is a consistent issue. The platform works flawlessly on desktop. Much needs to be done to reach the desktop level of efficiency.
Kristina (502 KP) rated The Fallen: Genesis (Deadly Virtues, #0.5) in Books
Dec 7, 2020
I tried to read Raphael and was instructed to read this book first, so like a good little Bookworm, I did. I understand reading this novella would help me understand the back story and help me sympathize with the Fallen - which I do, as crazy as that sounds, but how can one not after all the things these boys have been through? Though I kind of trudged through it, despite the heartache and anger at their torture, I'm looking forward to seeing what Raphael has in store.
Myst (0 KP) rated Serpent's Kiss (Elder Races, #3) in Books
Feb 8, 2018
Wow, just wow. It starts off pretty interesting with the two characters. With one on the edge skirting death. I found the idea with slipping in time pretty interesting. The idea connecting to the title of this book is interesting. Just when I thought everything was pretty much settled a twist happens. That piece made my head hurt, not dead but not alive indeed. Schrodinger's cat at it's finest!
