This is definitely the most underwhelming book I've read this year, so much I was on the verge of dropping it a few times, and it's a shame. What got my attention and made me curious to go and read through it is the fact that the main character is a bisexual man leaning towards other men and mostl...

Sex. Drugs. And Rock... Color Purple. Very 70-ies. What. A. Drag. Never a straight (no pun) line in this book. I don't mind when a story gets from A to D via B, C and while at it detours through E and K. I do mind however, when the author goes through entire alphabet to connect A to B. Now imagine t...

It's hard to write a compelling story in a shorter format. Diane Duane is one of those authors who struggles with a limited word count, and this is most evident when working through this collection.

I liked this book alright. The things I liked were a lot of the same things that I didn't like. I felt like this was a good story pasted on top of a whole bunch of recycled stories. I decided to read the Barsoom books because this book was so clearly based at least partially off of them. I really li...

Contemporry urban fantasy for kids, starring two 12-year-olds living on Long Island. Well who doesn't want to discover a book they've never seen before at the library, one that tells you all about careers in wizarding?It's a cool idea, and I really enjoyed reading it, but in some way I can't explain...
