Neologisms in science fiction are double-edged swords, they can make the book more fantastical and be an important per of the world building, on the other hand if not handled right they can make the narrative impenetrable and downright irritating. I think a lot of people who do not finish A Clockwor...

I picked this up on a whim; Waterstones marketing done right. I’ve not seen the film, and I didn’t know much about it before reading. I was a little unsure, as I’m not great with violence (I had to take a break from The Song of Fire and Ice when there was just too much of it), so I was surprised at ...

Rating: 1* of five The Publisher Says: A vicious fifteen-year-old "droog" is the central character of this 1963 classic, whose stark terror was captured in Stanley Kubrick's magnificent film of the same title. In Anthony Burgess's nightmare vision of the future, where criminals take over after d...

So, it’s the year 2012, it’s 2300h on a workday and me and my friend Georgie are drinking whisky with just a little bit of coffee and milk, just so that we can call it Irish coffee and not sound like the complete winos that we are. We’re talking about movies because if was, after all, film fest time...
