Discussion: Scorching Wind By Walter Maken (Julie’s pick) Only Jocelyn and Ali finished (not sure about Tristana?)
Ali- The book kept being bad! Hated it so much I felt like I would never care to read again. Author was jumpy. Lots of typos. 0/5 Jocelyn- SO boring! And confusing. Author kept jumping between 1st and 3rd person, so annoying. The writing style was horrible. 1/5 Julie – Felt let down. Wanted to learn more about Irish history. Elementary grammer. Just couldn’t finish. 1/5 Meriah- Couldn’t keep my eyes open. No character development. Could have been great, but no action. 1/5
Favorite Characters: Ali- Poric Jocelyn- The women of the time Julie- Joe 2 and Matt the sailor Meriah- Poric
