Mostly Harmless (Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy)

Review:I haven't specialised to DA in terms of science fiction but rather read everything everytime without any prejudices (atleast in my opinion :) ) and as much as others claim (well, atleast some people do, and they have right for their opinion, as do I) it isn't as good as the others or that it actually is a flop, I must disagree, for if it hadn't been written there would have been lots of information that would have gone without explanation. The books ending seems abrupt but on the other hand, the... Read more

And Another Thing... (The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy)
And Another Thing... (The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy)

Review:Maybe my expectations were to high but I felt the book wasn't that good. The writing seems to drag on. The almost 300 page book seems to cover about what Adams would have covered in 50 pages. If you feel you need to read it go ahead, just do not expect much. Read more

More Than This
More Than This

Review:Seth drowns and wakes up in abandonment in his old neighborhood in England. Through dreams and other events, he relives his life. Then he starts wondering: is this death, is this hell, what is reality and what is false?

It was boring for the first 1/4 but I was a bit interested in knowing what would happen.
It didn't get remotely interesting until part 2, after he meets Regene and Tomasz in his town. Around here it went from 1.5 starts to about 2 stars.
By the time part 3 came ar... Read more

The Call
The Call

Review:I don't know that I have ever read any books that were set in Ireland. That changed with this book. Ireland is cut off from the rest of the world and when kids reach a certain age they receive the call and have to enter in a contest where it is very hard to win. Nessa is the main character and she is handicapped. She doesn't want to be helped and doesn't play the woe is me card. This book takes some of the irish legends and uses them to make the story even more compelling. I loved this boo... Read more

The Wild Robot
The Wild Robot

Review:I was a little hesitant to read a children's book about a robot stranded on an island to my daughters, but this one has a ton of heart and enough characters and situations to be very entertaining. This robot happens to have human feelings that is more expressed in actions that we all can understand, whether it's deep sadness to being excited and everything in between. Peter Brown somehow makes it all believable and a very touching story of compassion, love and how every parent feels when their... Read more

Xenocide: Volume Three of the Ender Quintet

Review:Having read "Ender's Game" and "Speaker for the Dead" and enjoying them a lot, I figured this would be a book I liked as well. But I've found it very difficult to read and it loses my interest quickly. I've stopped and re-started reading it several times and still haven't made it all the way through it. Read more
