The Nao of Brown, by Glyn Dillon

The Nao of Brown, by Glyn Dillon, 208 pages

Nao is a young woman trying to find a place in life as an artist, despite her obsessive compulsive tendencies and urges to hurt those weaker than her.  This was an interesting graphic novel, with a slice-of-life tone.  Interspersed within was a story of a half-tree/half-man character that was interesting.  The story was not the greatest, but the glimpse into OCD was worthwhile, as was the artwork.

A Devil is Waiting by Jack Higgins

A Devil is Waiting - Jack Higgins, 321 pages

The latest addition in the Dillon series featuring the British Prime Minister's private army ran by Charles Ferguson reads pretty much like all the others.  The team gets a new addition with linguist and army veteran Sara Gideon.  This adds a love interest to the normal "must stop the terrorist now" plot.  I was hoping to like this book but mainly just finished it out of some sense of loyalty to the franchise.  Higgins is starting to write books that read like a barely fleshed out screenplay.  I think I'm done.
