Loading... Incident at Badamya (1988)by Dorothy Gilman
To be completely candid, although I am perfectly positive I read this book, I really don't remember it at all. I am looking at the back cover and not one thing rings a bell. Since I really like Gilman's other books so much, I am giving this only 2 stars on the basis that if it had been better I would remember it! (  ) leslie.98 | Apr 1, 2013 |  "Incident at Badamya" was an interesting book. It had a unique plot line and believable characters. It is filled with adventure the same way any capture-and-escape themed story is, but it also explores the minds of the characters, and how people will bond when they are forced together in tough times and they are all each other has. It will take you on a journey, and is a good read. (  )1  MickTheChick | Jul 17, 2010 | Her best is so good that I wonder why she couldn't hit that level more often. Regardless, this is very good indeed. Like The Tightrope Walker, it suggests how the deep structure of a person can surface suddenly, and crack the false face. Patentnonsense | Jan 7, 2008 | This is still my most favorite book by Dorothy Gilman. Not only does it keep you riveted from the beginning to the end, but the characters develop wonderfully with each page read. (  ) camom | Jul 30, 2006 | no reviews | add a review
