Restaurant and galaxy book Advantages: funny story, very well written Disadvantages: no disadvantages ...because I feel they are the chief books of Trampers to the galaxy. The CBOTTG are books that when the words are read the writing marks you in a thrilling and funny way. I never cause an almost terrible thing to happen like the reading of the Hitchhiker books to pass from my life. That is a most unverifiable thing I would be doing. Although the writer of this book was reputed to be a crotchety writer, I found his ideas were very substantial. His books ... ...With the five novels, belonging to the Hitchhikers guide trilogy, Douglas Adam gave his life to writing them in a very different way to other books which was to first begin in 1979 and to finish in 1992. The books have been read by millions of readers and they have been a very pleasant read, so I hope they will be read for hundreds of years. I am not sure, if future novels will ever be written like this but I had never once actually seen something ... lovelyben 18.09.2006 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of The Restaurant at the End of the Universe - Douglas Adams	Would you read it again?

Does my second head make me a deviant? Advantages: Thoughtful, intelligent sci-fi... Disadvantages: ... some occasionally long-winded speeches The Chsysalids by John Wyndham is a post-apolaclyptic vision of a world where people are obsessed with conformity to the norm, or in their words, "the image of God". Anyone who does not conform to this image becomes an outcast, and the women who are categorised as Deviants are sterilised before being sent off. The "image of God" has 2 arms, 2 legs, 2 eyes, 1 nose, 5 digits at the end of eat hand and foot… etc. You get the idea. The narrator of this ... ...is, so is safe from the religious-minded people around him, chief of whom is his father. Not so lucky is a girl he meets who has a physical deviation, and this causes him to wonder whether it really is the will of God being done by the zealots here… As David realises the danger his special talents wrought from his differences could cause, and becomes aware of others with the same talents, he is drawn instinctively away from his family. He knows that ... CaptainDisaster 31.08.2005 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of The Chrysalids - John Wyndham	Would you read it again?

FROM APEMAN TO SPACEMAN Advantages: Well written, good concepts and detail Disadvantages: Slight flaws in the structure and lack of theme development ...people believe that the film 2001: A Space Odyssey is an adaptation of Arthur C Clarke’s book but in fact almost uniquely for such a highly regarded novel the truth is the other way around. Stanley Kubrick the director of the film had read a short story by Clarke ‘The Sentinel’ and from the idea within that he decides to make an epic Sci-fi movie that was to explore some of the most basic and yet most complex themes, the origins ... ...certainly the novel like the film can be highly recommended. ***************************************************************** 2001: A Space Odyssey is published by Orbit (ISBN: 1857236645) in paperback (266 pages) and is available from Amazon.co.uk for £4.79 (p & p).

Whimsically Equine (Tim the Tiny Horse - Harry Hill) Advantages: funny and gentle Disadvantages: slight ...make an attempt at reviewing Tim as a stand-alone. I am happy to say that it acquits itself well. Tim is a horse, blue and so tiny that he lives in matchbox with a tic-tac box for a conservatory. A single Hoola-Hoop makes his lunch (he prefers barbecue beef flavour) and a fly (called Fly) is his best friend. Tim doesn't do much - apart from a few not very successful attempts at making it big in the media he seems to spend his days watching television ... ...necessary for enjoyment. For example, Tim has a bit of obsession with a newsreader called Anna Ford: I don't have a television so I am not familiar with Ms Ford (I checked and she's real and not a character in Tim's milieu), but I can still appreciate Tim's heartache. There is a wealth of astute observations of our modern lives in Tim's adventures and some of them brought tears of recognition to my eyes. I particularly enjoyed Tim's foray into the ... magdadh 20.05.2009 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Tim the Tiny Horse - Harry Hill	Would you read it again?
