This guy’s well worth a read. First…Ex-Machina.
A defunct superhero turns in his wings and manages to get elected Mayor of New York after he stops one of the planes from plowing into the World Trade Center. Not your classic super hero stuff – much more interesting.
And then there’s ‘The Last Man’.
A mysterious plague wipes out [...]
My random selection from the local library – ‘Spiderman and Red Sonja’. Not my usual choice as I generally despise Spiderman. But hey, it’s Red Sonja.
And how was it? Artistically, very cool indeed. Beautiful images all around – can’t fault it. Conceptually? Groovy. Spidey’s plunged into Red Sonja’s D&D universe, as is a decent chunk [...]
Just a heads up: On occasion you’ll see me review a book or DVD here and I’ll be giving it away for free. I’ll be doing this through Bookins, which is a fantastic online book/DVD trading service. What you do is sign up and then earn points for giving your used books and DVDs away. [...]
I remember seeing the 1998 film What Dreams May Come when it first came out in the theater. I loved it then; the visuals were absolutely spectacular, especially by 1998 standards. It’s now 10 years later and I just watched it again at home. I’ve also since read the book (which the movie was based [...]
This young adult fantasy novel is so charming and so ready to be made into yet another loveable series that it did not surprise me in the slightest to find it has already been optioned as a screenplay.
Unlike most of the kiddie-fantasy being published today, Â this is more adult and has adult protagonists varying in [...]
Hailed as the “DaVinci book for kids” I picked up Endymion Spring at Wal-mart a few days ago just to have a light quick fantasy read. I was right on two counts, it was light and it was quick.Â
I actually enjoyed the book though I admit I was much more ramped up to a spectacular [...]
I have read some duds in my day (basically everything Terry Goodkind has ever written), books that made me practically give up all hope that there is a single author/editor/publisher on earth dedicated to anything but mediocrity – but this…this…catalog of repetitive, slogging, meandering, sixth-grade writing level piece of mammoth dung is one of the [...]
I read and enjoyed the Belgariad – in fact; it really shook me up, emotionally. I even cried. But this tripe – this Mallorean – five books of vacuous-ness of utterly wasted words on paper that poor trees were cut down to deliver! The horror, the horror! To say it was bad is an insult [...]
I’ve read all of Carol Berg’s novels and Son of Avonar is by far her best. She has evolved as a writer and storyteller and has managed to create something refreshing and new in the field of Fantasy – believable, fallible and human characters.Her character work has always been her strong suit, in that even [...]
I cannot tell you how sick to death I am of derivative epic fantasy novels. But I will. Why don’t people have original thoughts any more? Isn’t there something different you could do to your epic that doesn’t hearken back to Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time or Terry Goodkind’s Sword of Truth (my most hated [...]
