Series: Barbara Holloway #1 The courtroom drama portion was interesting, but the later part of the book fell pretty flat, especially the ending. I'm not sure if I'll bother picking up any of the rest of in the series. Basically, Barbara Holloway is defending Nell Kendricks, who is accused of murde...
The author only had a part of a story in her. She just can't get out of the confines of reality and write a full blown time travel story. You can tell she wanted to with this story but won't take the story where it should be going. Or maybe, she just wrote this story to fulfill a contract obligat...
I almost wonder if there's something about audio-books that just don't work for me, but listening to A Wrinkle in Time is going perfectly well. So I'm going to just go with this book just doesn't work.
My Mom passed this audio book to me thinking I might like it because it said it was fantasy, so it was with some trepidation that I started listening to it when I saw it was Reader's Digest production. I'm glad to say there were some great stories and most of the angels weren't happily flitting thin...
Post-apocalyptic, told in three parts, each separated by an unstated amount of time and involving a change of narrator, with some amount of rebuilding in evidence after they blew it up, those maniacs, but with the rebuilders ultimately consumed anyway, with some small survival thereafter.

When I first started seeking out science fiction novels written by female authors several years ago, this was one of the first that made it to my list. I've been meaning to read Where Late the Sweet Birds Sang for ages. It has won multiple awards, is part of the Science Fiction Masterwork series, an...
Sometimes the worst thing that can happen is to be successful. Because your next thing has to surpass your first success. Just ask the guy who came up with the idea of pet rocks.Ellison probably knows what I am talking about. Dangerous Vision was a raging success. It is still the definitive sci-fi a...
I have an unrepentant love of dystopian stories. I think it's an amazing vehicle to delve into men's psyche, especially when you look at the societies created. I also don't believe in utopia (someone's utopia is always someone else's dystopia).This anthology is a great collection of different dyst...
3.5 starsA very good compilation of stories exploring the them of dystopias. One warning - find some light/fluffy/happy books to read in between chunks of this book, it is just too depressing to read one after the other with no relief. Some classics, like "The Lottery" and "Minority Report", and pl...
