Good read
Advantages: Extra material compared to film Disadvantages: Kirk dies
Although the film may not have been brilliant, the book was and still is. The author has added scenes that could not be portrayed in the film such as the conversation between Kirk SPock and McCoy before the launch of the USS ENterprise B. This particular chapter is very moving and i have known people to cry over reading it. The book also describes things which were cut from the film due to costs or that the computers needed to do the required special ... ...book a while back and have read it many times, each time in one sitting because I have been unable to put the book down, which is a stark comparision to the film because that is no where near the standard of many of the other films such as first contact or the voyage home. ...

The best things come in small packages
Advantages: You can get your Dresden Files fix with a whole new plot Disadvantages: Not as witty as previous novels
Hello everyone! Long time no review! Now i'm on my summer holidays, i can catch up on my "to review" list, and i figure, where's the best place to start than with my favourite author, Jim Butcher's, latest enstallment of the Dresden Files? If you look at my reviews, you'll find a full 8 of them on this series ( i didn't review White Night as SohoBlack reviewed it first, and i agree with his opinions)
So....Small Favour. the 10th Drseden Files novel. ... ...is. What else have we come to expect from Butcher?
Once again, Dresden, the wizard investigator in Chicago is on the trail of killers and kidnappers, and finding himself generally out of his depth. As the last novel required a little thinking on the readers behalf (all those badddies could get a bit confusing), in this enstalment, Butcher is simplifying the plot by showing clearly who the bad guys are: with the added bonus of the reader having already ...

It is not just about football!
Advantages: It's very funny, and oh so true! Disadvantages: None
The Disc, for those who don't know, continues to float in space, supported by the elephants who ride the back of the great swimming turtle A'tuin. The Hub about which the planet spins is a centre of great magic, and best avoided if you want to live a happy and contented life. At the outer perimeter is the great circle sea which unendingly streams over the rim into the void, which is best avoided if you want to continue to live at all. Most Discians ... ...Smeems, for instance, is the Candle Nave at the Unseen University. He has to worry about keeping the candles not just alight, but properly melted, artistically, gothicly, dribbled, as it were. Of course, there's Trevor to help. And there's Nutt. With two t's. Trevor Likely has a tendency to skive off work whenever possible, and to kick a tin can around. His dad was a legend. Nutt is… well, no-one's quite sure what Nutt is, even him. Goblin isn't ...

A mind bending story of artificial realities
Advantages: A very novel and surreal look at life Disadvantages: Hard to follow and too outside of the box
...starts to unfold around him. Time and logic really start mind bending when objects around him start fading away and in time, the reality of the illusion is uncovered. So why the illusion and where is he really living? What is his role in the new existence.
MY THOUGHTS
I love the surreal nature of science fiction that completely thinks outside of the box. This book achieves this in abundance and creates an entirely new set of rules for existence ... ...whether to recommend this book to friends as it really is down to individual preference and how your own logic works. It didn’t entirely work for me but there again I am glad that I read it. Please take the time to rate this review. Thank you ...
