Read Or Die

Ms.Yomiko Readman, a Library Special Operations officer known as Agent Paper, is on the trail of one of the most nefarious criminals she has ever faced. Determined to locate a long lost Beethoven manuscript, this unknown criminal has cloned some of history's most extraordinary people to help him find the manuscript. Now, Readman must not only contend with a ruthless criminal, but also Tokugawa-era scientist Gennai Hiraga, aviation pioneer Otto Lilienthal and 19th century entomologist Jean-Henri Fabre as she tries to stop a plot that could potentially destroy the Earth.

  Rent this if you want to improve your children's education. Certainly had me reaching for a book half way through episode one. Dull and not very clever. ... read more »
