Book review of island of the blessed

Island of the blessed by Nancy Farmer

4 Stars out of 5 Stars
I would not have read this book, or book 2 of this series if my school library hadn't gotten them, as I originally thought that the sea of trolls wasn't part of a series. Anyways, I liked this book because they went to places that they hadn't gone before, and met new enemies that they had to battle. More about the mermaid is revealed, and what happened to her  
I would recommend the book to people who've read other books in this series, and people that like magic

Book review of The Story of a Lonely Man

The Story of a Lonely Man by  Tom Hooker
3 Stars out of 5 Stars
This is a some what interesting book about a man that lives as a hermit in the Blue Mountains of Oregon. He has a dog that's hilarious. The rest is what I don't like, he's profane, and is hiding from a surgery that can cure his headaches or turn him into a cabbage.    
I would recommend the book to people that like books about hermits
