Review: “Daemon” by Daniel Suarez

Review: “Daemon” by Daniel Suarez

Michael Hickerson | February 23, 2009June 1, 2024 | 1 Comment

The story of how Suarez’s novel went from a self-published story to a major book contract and potential movie deal is one that will give hope to every aspiring writer out there. Suarez got his book into the hands of a target audience and created a buzz for himself that it was impossible for a conventional publisher to ignore. But the thing is–if “Daemon” weren’t a good book, no one would be talking about it. And “Daemon” is that good.

Review: “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix” by J. K. Rowling

Review: “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix” by J. K. Rowling

Joe Murphy | June 23, 2003June 6, 2024

A million people pre-ordered Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. I guess that makes me one in a million! (Thank you, I’ll be here all week.)

Honestly, though, you can’t imagine how I felt when I opened my door mid-Saturday morning, and found the box from Amazon.com sitting there. I’m a huge Harry Potter fan. For the next two days, I didn’t turn on the TV, didn’t shave, barely bathed, and left the house only once or twice to get a couple of snacks (and didn’t bother to brush, my teeth look nasty).

Review: “The Last Dragon” by Jane Yolen & Rebecca Guay

Review: “The Last Dragon” by Jane Yolen & Rebecca Guay

Laith Preston | December 1, 2011June 9, 2024 | 3 Comments

Wow, I really don’t know where to start with this review. Do I begin with the beautiful art of Rebecca Guay, or wax poetic on the enthralling story crafted by Jane Yolen?

Review: “The Sorority” Trilogy by Tamara Thorne

Review: “The Sorority” Trilogy by Tamara Thorne

Joe Murphy | October 14, 2003June 6, 2024

Tamara Thorne wrote The Sorority trilogy as the literary equivalent of a teen exploitation horror movie. It has dozens of girls in a sorority house, an evil sorority president, sex, ghosts, oral sex, dead football players, group sex, human sacrifice, and chipmunk sex. Reading a book like this makes me cry. In college I couldn’t get laid to save my life.

Review: “Peace & Memory” by Mark W. Tiedemann

Review: “Peace & Memory” by Mark W. Tiedemann

Joe Murphy | July 21, 2003June 30, 2024

What does Mark W. Tiedemann’s Peace and Memory offer? It has an interesting, well thought out universe, a bizarre and entertaining ensemble of characters, thought provoking dialogue on social and political issues, action, adventure, twists, turns, irony, and a hair raising finale.

Which is why, for the life of me, I can’t understand why I didn’t like it more.

Review: “Tinker” by Wen Spencer

Review: “Tinker” by Wen Spencer

Tee Morris | January 21, 2004June 18, 2024

If heavily armed elves, a demonic conspiracy, and a girl genius doesn’t sound like a wild enough ride, how about Pittsburgh being the epicenter of a dimensional rift. Welcome to Wen Spencer’s Tinker, a book that is an adventure worth every page!

Review: “Chance Fortune and the Outlaws” by Shane Berryhill

Review: “Chance Fortune and the Outlaws” by Shane Berryhill

Brian Brown | May 2, 2007August 10, 2024

Chance Fortune and the Outlaws is a fun story that pays homage to classic comic books and throws in young people having to deal with more than just learning to use their powers. If you enjoy a good read along the lines of Mr. Potter and his friends, comic book superheroes or just want something different to entice younger readers I would recommend this book.

Review: “The Sky People” by S.M. Stirling

Review: “The Sky People” by S.M. Stirling

Brian Brown | January 25, 2007May 30, 2024 | 1 Comment

The Sky People is a fun read that harkens back to another time in science fiction writing. It has some minor quibbles but nothing that would get in the way of enjoying this rousing tale. So fire up the rockets and head to your local bookstore and pick up this gem.
