Book notes

Finished a couple of books recently.
  • Remains to be Scene - The first in an apparent series, the "Polly Pepper Mysteries." Polly Pepper is an actress "of a certain age" who manages to get involved in a murder. This one was a nice fluffy Hollywood mystery. Lots of name-dropping (both celebrities and brand names), but lots of typos that should have been caught by an editor somewhere along the way. I can see "blanked" getting by instead of "blanket" but seriously, any computer spell-check worth the name should have flagged "Vicoden" and "Prince Ranier."
  • The Battle of the Labyrinth - The fourth book in the Percy Jackson series. I'm going to have to buy the rest of these. The stories are good, and I like the cover design, too. Pages 312 through 317 (hardcover edition) were almost enough to make me go teary-eyed.
