Literature & Fiction
Review:Old school science fiction. Interesting to read what people thought was possible with biology back then- with no talk of cloning or genetic mutations. Still was a little twisted in parts, maybe not for the faint of heart. Read more
Review:I enjoyed this book, and the continuation of the Anne of Green Gables series. It's been fascinating to go along with Anne on her journey and to see her story leave off while beginning those of her children. It's also interesting to see a (sort of) first hand account of what it was like to witness the events leading up to and during the first world war, and the hopes that those who survived the war had for their futures (some of which would ultimately be shattered). I would recommend this book to... Read more
Review:I would not consider this “very good” condition. The cover was stained and slightly sticky. It’s icky, but all the pages are there. I would have said “fair” condition because binding was good. Meh...disappointed in condition- happy to have book. Read more
Review:I would have never imagined merging what feels like a fantasy novel with that of a science fiction novel but O. S. Card does it wonderfully. His incredibly engaging writing style and articulate prose seamlessly combine to create yet another imaginative world of what could be. As with all of his previous series, I could not be more impressed! Read more
Review:I'm at 35 percent, and seriously considering not investing any more time in it. Very boring. Although I've never seen it, the movie is supposed to be a classic. The author spends so much time trying to develop the thoughts and mood of the characters that I fall asleep waiting for the plot to develop. Read more
Review:The book starts off as realistic and normal, as one would expect after A New Hope. By the end, it is completely unrealistic. There is no way things would take place as they did. Vader being so emotional? Never. While he was more emotional in A New Hope than any other time, he still was far colder than shown here. In Empire, Vader is pure darkness and evil, perhaps shown best when he jumps down at Luke during their duel, flying from above, like a dark raven. He has almost no dialogue in... Read more
Review:When author/editor Mark Charan Newton got involved in the tie-in fiction vs genre fiction debate, I decided to put my money where my mouth is and give a work from Black Library a shot. And since Newton seemed to imply that Dan Abnett was one of the best writers they had, I asked him to send me what he considered to be the author's best novels. One was an omnibus comprised of three books, and I was reticent to start something that big for fear of losing interest. The other was the opening chapter... Read more
Review:I love the spin off of Violent Delights. Elena has been an escort for 4 years and is ready to move on. She is asked to join a new endeavour, the Velvet Room. She meets Damon there and quickly wants to do more with him. He is different than other clients and she finds herself craving more. Sexy read. I used Kindle unlimited to grab this book. Read more
Review:This novel hits the ground running. Logan West, a highly decorated former Marine and a relapsing alcoholic, wakes up after lying unconscious on his basement floor for 40 hours, only to find a stranger watching him with obvious evil intent.
Not to give anything away, the action never stops till the end of the book. It left me breathless!
West is a very real hero, plagued by alcohol and PTSD, and about to be divorced by his wife, whom he loves. But he becomes involved in an
intricate plot... Read more
Review:Sierva Maria is twelve years old and beautiful, with the longest hair everyone has ever seen. But something is wrong with her. Her behavior isn't normal. She doesn't do what girls her age do. Her customs are too foreign, too unseemly. What's worse is that her behavior is at times unpredictable, even dangerous. What could it be? Could it be that she has rabies? After all, a rabid dog bit her not long ago. Or is it worse? Could she be possessed by a demon? Her father, the Marquis, think... Read more
