Book Uncovered, by Bi Janus

[Merkin]

I salute Bi Janus for his achievement in writing Cover and Book and its sequel, Book Uncovered, just completed here on AD. This pair of Goldendale novels have surpassed, magnificently, the original premise concerning how to cope with displacement and disclosure, and have become by the end a stirring testament to the ability of the human spirit to grow and flourish. They celebrate the essential goodness and potential that may be found in the least of us, however lost and cast aside, if only it can be nurtured and cultivated. And they demonstrate the power of the family, no matter how untraditionally it is constituted and organized, to surround and support and make possible that growth.

A wonderful story, wonderfully written.

A wonderful story, wonderfully written.

I can't say it better. The Goldendale novels should be required reading.

I started reading them early on and have eagerly awaited each new chapter. Great story! I agree that it should be required reading for teen and their parents.

Just finished it. I should've read the first book first. I'm off to do that now.

A great read.

Hey, I love this line in the first chapter:

He detested Microsoft products and the ugly, artless computers that ran them.

I knew there was a reason I liked Bi Janus...

The second book finished today. I certainly hope there's a third one. This series needs to be a trilogy. Even if there was an Epiloue. That shouldn't be a stumbling block for a writer as skilled as Bi Janus.

Great writing, great characters and a moving story.

He can go back to the second book and delete the Epilogue. I did that once and no one noticed.
