Review of From Dead to Worse - Charlaine Harris

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 ...

Review of Time Out of Joint - Philip K. Dick

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 ...

Review of The Bankers Who Sold The World - Simon Drake

Back to where it all began - how dragons became man's best friend

Advantages: Enjoyable and gripping, provides plenty of background for the entire series of books
Disadvantages: A lot of names to remember

Who is the author? Anne McCaffrey is one of the world’s best –loved science/fiction fantasy writers, who has won the Hugo and Nebula Awards, as well as many others. She is probably best known for her Chronicles of Pern series, of which this is the eighth full-length novel (it is actually the ninth book, but the one immediately before it – Nerilka’s Story - is really more of a long short story!). What kind of book is it? Interestingly, ...
...fantasy, this particular novel has much more of a pure science fiction feel. This took me by surprise a little when I first started reading it, but after a while I found it to be rather refreshing and certainly no bad thing! Having said that, I’m only ever a moderate fantasy reader, and the Chronicles of Pern DO generally represent the limit of my tolerance for the genre (I prefer my fantasy to have at least some grounding in reality) so that probably ...
