Science Fiction
Review:I love the character development and the motivational insight. And even more action than book one. I have to thank Tim Burton though for my ability to love and feel the friendship and loss for the character Rex. Can't wait for book 3. Read more
Review:I loved the book and knew it deserves all the stars I could give it. I think it's a tad bit draconian to compel people to write reviews if they want to award stars but whatever. The author is great and well received, and the book is compelling, hard to put down, and the shear number of directions that the story line can follow, is astounding. Read more
Review:This book is the best in the series of short story collections issued by DelRey books, and probably contains the best collection of classic HPL stories available today. Here you have the best and most revered stories from Lovecraft's prime period of creativity. You can clearly see how influential this work has been for all horror fiction that has been written since. Clive Barker and Stephen King are definitely fans, and even movies like "Poltergeist" and "Ghostbusters" are clearly inspired by Lo... Read more
Review:Finally! I've been after HP Lovecraft's works for years but never got around to it. When this Knickerbocker Classics edition showed up I had to get it.
The book is gorgeous to touch, the printing is fantastic, the paper is thicker than expected and the slipcase, though dented in one corner, is thoroughly sturdy and will protect the book for years to come.
I'm gonna make my way through it now - years in the waiting. I'm so excited! Read more
Review:This book titled Necronomicon was written by H.P Lovecraft . It is all of his stories in one book. His way of writing for his time was unheard of his ventures onto the dark side!!!! Some of his wording in his storys were kind of confusing but that is what a dictionary is for. I recomend this book if you are into stories that are dark and evil. Read more
Review:The Boy on the Bridge is M.R. Carey's long-awaited sequel to The Girl With All the Gifts. As in the first book a plague has swept through the world making humans that contract the fungus "hungries"--essentially zombies whose only purpose is to devour the flesh of living creatures. Rosie, a heavily fortified vehicle, filled with soldiers and scientists sets out from Beacon (the last fortified encampment in the UK) to find a cure.
A third type of intelligent life, "the children", discovers ... Read more
Review:There has been enough refinement in recent science fiction to make the concepts of this book obsolete. I have nothing against Phillip K. Dick. Its just that the plot, descriptions of items and people won't make sense to the reader Read more
Review:"The worlds through which Philip Dick's characters move are subject to cancellation or revision without notice," sci-fi great Roger Zelazny once wrote, and it strikes me that Dick's "Ubik" is a perfect example of that statement. The author's 25th science fiction novel since 1955 (!), "Ubik" was originally released as a Doubleday hardcover, with a cover price of $4.50, in May 1969. It finds Dick giving his favorite theme--the mutability of reality--a thorough workout in a wonderfully well-written... Read more
Review:I thought the stories were pretty dated and did not hold up well today. After seeing the Minority Report and Total Recall, these two stories were a bit of a dissapointment. Other authors, such as Asimov, Norton and Heinlein wrote stories that have held up much better over the years. I would not recommend Dick's stories. Read more
