Another Review From Michael!

Wow! Is this guy good! No sooner had I posted about Michael's receiving his prizes then I get another review from him. Let's see it:

Choose Your Own Adventure miniseries The Golden Path, book 1
Into the Hollow Earth
by Anson Montgomery
You are a student at a boarding school. When you and your friends and you go to your house, you find your dog dead, and your neighbor in your garage chanting something strange. Then you find the e-mail. Something has happened to your parents. The e-mail says to go one place, but when you call their attorney, he says to come to New York. Which will you choose? Your choice will effect the entire story, and it may decide your death or your survival. As you flip through the pages of this book, you will encounter many surprises, but will your journey end here, or will it continue in the next book, Burned By the Inner Sun? Only one way to find out. I have read this book and was accepted into the next book, so we'll have to see what happens. The Golden Path is not the only way to read Choose Your Own Adventure. Their are hundreds of original and new Choose Your Own Adventure books, with cyber hackers, globe-trotting, and time travel, but the ending can only be decided by you.

Thanks, Michael! Keep up the outstading work. Your reviews are first-rate and make me want to read these books. How about all you in blogland? Does he make you want to find them?

Here's How Our Blog Works

If you don't know how to post comments or reviews to our blog or if you want to read what we and other boys have written, here's what you do:

1. Every post has a place underneath it that says "Comments". Click on it and it will take you to a place in which you can write something. When you're done, click on a way to identify yourself. You don't have to create a Blogger/Google account (unless you already have one); you can click on "Name/URL" or even "Anonymous." Then click "Publish Your Comment." We try to get your comments and reviews posted right away, but sometimes we get busy with other duties. So, if you don't see your comment right away, don't panic. We'll post it soon.

Don't forget--any boy can get a free book the first time he writes a review. If you live too far away to come to the Myers Park library, go ahead and write to us anyway. We'll try to find a way to get a book to you. Besides, all the other boys out there would love to hear from you.

When you tell us about a book, please give the title, author, what the book is about, and why you did or didn't like it.

2. Blogs go "front to back"; that is, the newest post comes up first and the older ones are put further back. You click on the "Blog Archive" to read older articles. The posts for this month have the titles listed. You can click on other months to catch our other posts. (Our introduction is in June of 2007; if you're new to this blog, you might look it up.)

3. Underneath each post you'll see a line that says "Labels" and several other words such as "graphic novels" or "Andrew Clements." These extra words are links to a subject; for instance, if you clicked on "graphic novels," it would pull up all the posts about graphic novels. There's also a section below on some of our best posts on the most popular subjects

4. Did you notice that the posts from last year don't show up month by month as they did before this year? If you click on the triangle next to the previous years, the months will drop down and you can go back and see what we and your fellow readers have written.

The Iron Guy's Review Policy

1. Since the Iron Guy works for the terrific Charlotte Mecklenburg Library, I review only books that the library already has or will get soon.
2. If you are an author or publisher or agent and think you have a book that boys will go crazy over, please leave me a comment (with your email address so I can contact you) under any post. I will look and see if we have the book. If not, and if the book looks good, I will contact Those Who Order Books and see if CML would be interested. (Please note--CML does not usually order self-published books) PLEASE do not just send me a book! I appreciate the offer but but first I want to see if CML has it or will get it soon.
