Over time, I’ve had the great
pleasure of reading separately, the three Glothic tales by Derek Haines. The
tales included, February The Fifth, The Adventures of Hal, and Septimity and
the Blood Brotherhood. Derek Haines currently
provides his readers with these three entertaining stories, bound together in a
select paperback titled, The Glothic
Tales.
After reading each book, I had
written a timely review. The following are excerpts from each review:
February The Fifth is the first book
I have read by Derek Haines. It was an easy read with slight touches of science
fiction and comedy throughout. There was no shortage of characters, some of
whom the reader would most definitely relate to, thereby making the book more
enjoyable.
It’s a mad world on Gloth, as
experienced through the eyes of Halbert Hoop - Hal to the reader. Hal is a
well-developed character who gets himself into unusual and kooky situations.
It’s great fun for the reader to share Hal’s strategies in unraveling and
solving these situations.
Ending my review of Septimity, I
wrote - After reading Derek Haines books, I think I have come to realize he
expresses his own personal views on life through his apropos vocabulary in his
characters, and excellent writing skills. Reading between the lines and having
a good laugh is a treat.
Owning a print version of The Glothic Tales is a welcoming edition
to my bookshelf. E-books are convenient, but there’s nothing like reading a good
book in print from your own personal library.
