SiFi gets personal with Chasm City Advantages: Fast paced, action packed, complicated Disadvantages: Sometimes too complicated. Lacking some periferal character detail. ...the often rancid, often sterile Chasm City. Indeed it is a marriage of both Good and Evil, sanity and insanity, the dirty and the clean which septate with dramatic distinction the sometimes confusing shifts in plot, location and time. Much like some sort of cart running away from any form of user screeching around corners to the point, but not over it, of a spillage. In some ways it is the charm of this that there is little time for stability or ... ...Any criticisms can come in the form of the lack of peripheral character development, as many of them seem just hollow in comparison to Tanner and the other main individuals. And the oddly rigid form of first person narrative which is not wholly successful. A great and enjoyable read, complicated and fast paced. Much fun will be had for SiFi/Fantasy lovers and those who just want a good Adventure with twists and turns galore! ...

The Geek shall inherit the earth Advantages: Nothing else out there comes close Disadvantages: Nothing else out there comes close This is Stephenson's masterwork. Forget Snow Crash and Zodiac (both good but not in this league - and, for my money, pass by The Diamond Age), this book sprawls across continents, drips nerd humour, history, cryptography and conspiracy theory from its every pore. Others have seen the book as a marriage between Pynchon and Gibson but that doesn't do the book justice - you'd need to chuck in some Coragasson-Boyle (for the humour of the characterisation) ... oedipus 16.01.2001 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: somewhat helpful Review of Cryptonomicon - Neal Stephenson	Would you read it again?

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 ...

Have a look Inside my world! Advantages: informative, interesting, attractive Disadvantages: pricey RRP ...the BBC phenomenon that is Doctor Who. The sci-fi family show may have been on our screens on and off since 1963, but it only came into my life back in 2005 with the new series. Straight away I fell for the glorious Time Lord that is the Doctor (in the form of David Tennant), and longed to be companion Rose (played by the lovely Billie Piper). In my quest to try and involve myself with the show as much as possible, I went on a hunt for merchandise. ... ...eyes to the world of Doctor Who in a completely different light. One of these is 'The Inside Story'. Published in October 2006, it is one of the first fact books from the new series, and I feel this does make it that little bit more exciting. The hardback book can be recognised by its very attractive cover. It has a sleeve on the top, with the same design on the hardback underneath. It has a main colour of orange, to match the Doctor Who logo which ...
