Careless Talk
My latest book, Careless Talk, has just been published. It’s currently available via Amazon’s Kindle Store and in multiple formats from Smashwords.com. “You saw the winged men – we did what we could. But mortals are fragile and the Opposition are not. I am not justifying what we have done, only explaining why we need
The Hunt for Red October – Tom Clancy
Okay, so I work in I.T. As a result of this, I know more than my fair share of acronyms – both three-letter and otherwise. This notwithstanding, I found this book bewildering in the extreme. Not because it reads like stereo instructions (it does) and not because of the acronyms (after all, they are spelled
Exodus – Julie bertagna
I haven’t finished this, and I’m not going to. There are two compelling (for me) reasons why this is the case. Firstly, it’s written in the present tense and that irritates the hell out of me. I have no justification for this – it just does. The irritation of the tense is simply greater than
Twilight Saga – Stephenie Meyer
I make no apologies. I really enjoyed these books. I’m also glad I decided to split my mini-reviews as well, although I should have just covered all four at once. So, we know the plot – human girl meets vampire boy, romance ensues, strife arises and is resolved. The End. As far as the plot goes,
Enemy of God – Bernard Cornwell
My recently awakened inner teenager has been effectively slapped down by a quick and brutal application of mud, steel, mud, murder, mud, betrayal, mud, sinister priests, mud, torture and mud. Once again, Mr Cornwell’s prose lurches between exhilirating drama and tedious history lectures, but to a lesser degree than in Winter King. In other words,
New Moon – Stephenie Meyer
Cringe. Ahem. I really really enjoyed this book 🙂 It’s pretty lightweight and can be read in two days (as I did) but I’d really recommend reading it over three. It’s the middle-third that does it. It’s so reeking with love-lorn teenage angst (put it this way – it quotes Romeo & Juliet) that if you
Twilight – Stephenie Meyer
OMG I’m like SO TOTALLY emo! Ahem. Alright, so this is clearly written specifically for confused young girls, but really – it’s extremely likeable. Yeah, so you have to keep wringing it out to get rid of the dripping angst, the whole thing is utterley implausable, and there are plot gaps you could drive Saturn
Wizard and Glass – Stephen King
What an awesome book! Wizard and Glass is the fourth installment of the Dark Tower series and deals, primarily, with an event in the childhood of Roland of Gilead. Not much point in saying any more than that because those familiar with the Dark Tower will already know, and those who aren’t really should read
