Review: “The Spiderwick Chronicles, Book 1: The Field Guide”

Review: “The Spiderwick Chronicles, Book 1: The Field Guide”

Darcy Low | April 13, 2008June 24, 2024

My best friend Ashley got this book out of our school library and said I soooooooo had to read it. I took it and looked at it and it was like the littlest book I ever seen! But we like same books so I took it home and wow, she was right!!

Review: “Necronomicrap” by Tim Frayser

Review: “Necronomicrap” by Tim Frayser

Joe Murphy | February 13, 2005August 10, 2024

The chapbook Necronomicrap: A Guide To Your Horoooscope, by Tim Frayser, mixes astrological “facts” with obvious lampooning. For example, while you can use the book to learn the names of Saturn’s moons, I highly doubt you should share Frayser’s interpretation that the moons regulate “various aspects of human flatulence.”

Review: “Omnitopia Dawn” by Diane Duane

Review: “Omnitopia Dawn” by Diane Duane

Tia Bowman | January 18, 2011June 11, 2024

This was a refreshing read. A.I. has been through the ringer when it comes to scenarios, but Diane Duane brought something new to the table. It’s fascinating to see such an expansive game from multiple points of view – the players, the creators, etc.

Guest Review: “Lyranel’s Song” by Leslie Carmichael

Guest Review: “Lyranel’s Song” by Leslie Carmichael

Lynda Williams | July 30, 2006June 4, 2024

Lyranel’s Song by Leslie Carmichael is a book that thoughtful children can relax into and enjoy. The action is steady without being relentless, leaving room for characters to lead lives that young girls, in particular, could imagine themselves living. The two young readers (age 11) that I field-tested the book on often interrupted to supplement the commentary or make suggestions for what characters might do, which I always consider a good sign.

Review: “The Martian” by Andy Weir

Review: “The Martian” by Andy Weir

Stephen Carpenter | February 11, 2014May 31, 2024

The Martian is a decent hard Science Fiction novel and I certainly didn’t regret reading it. I just wish there was more substance to the protagonist’s side of the story. I hope that this will not be the only novel that Weir does, as I look forward to seeing how he grows as a writer.

Review: “Bride of the Fat White Vampire” by Andrew Fox

Review: “Bride of the Fat White Vampire” by Andrew Fox

Joe Murphy | August 16, 2004June 4, 2024

God, I love the sci-fi-fantasy-horror-magicrealism-pagan-mystic genres, cause every once in a while you come across a book like Bride of the Fat White Vampire, by Andrew Fox. Funny, clever, and highly entertaining.

Review: “The Republic of Thieves” by Scott Lynch

Review: “The Republic of Thieves” by Scott Lynch

Michael Hickerson | December 2, 2013June 8, 2024

After years of anticipation and speculation, Lynch returns to the universe of his “Gentlemen Bastards” with the long-awaited third installment, The Republic of Thieves.

Was it worth the wait?

Absolutely.

Review: “Bone Song” by John Meaney

Review: “Bone Song” by John Meaney

Scott Purdy | May 3, 2008June 1, 2024 | 2 Comments

If I had to name the style of Bone Song, I would call it Cyber-Zombie Noir. But lest I give the impression that it’s a book about Zombies let me say that Meaney has created a world with a death based Economy.
