This book definately belongs on the same shelf as Vellum, Splinter and Fairyland for me. The shelf should be titled 'Books I Just Don't Get'. I don't think of myself as being particularly dumb but this one went WAY over my head!. I can follow the very basic plot of the book but the meat of the story...
The Tenth Doctor is my favourite so far, so this Time Trip with the Tenth Doctor should definitely be a success. And it was indeed very enjoyable, it read like watching an episode. After the TARDIS hits the remnants of a temporal mine left-over from the Time War he finds himself in a strange vill...
Ahhhhhhhh! You ever read a book and think, “Meh, that was nice.” But then after you close it, it just builds on you. There was something between the lines that planted a seed in you and it grew and grew and grew. That’s what happened to me with Nick Harkaway’s TIGERMAN. I was ready to give it a four...

When the TARDIS strikes a temporal mine, The Doctor finds himself in Jonestown, Wales, and surrounded by familiar-seeming people. But he never left the TARDIS, did he? And can the Doctor undo whatever damage to the TARDIS the temporal mine has done? Of course! He's the Doctor...I got this from Netga...
This book led me down paths of assumption and then told me I was wrong, oh so wrong about my assumptions. The narrator tells us a story of his childhood with Gonzo Lubitsch, a childhood that had a number of twists and turns that ends with him in the Army doing covert work, an end that has the world...
Outstanding book. It was witty and smart, and always threw me in new directions as I read it. Once I understood that the book went back in time after the opening sequence and then caught up to the opening then continued forward, my initial confusion was gone.A bit lengthy at moments, but everything ...
Kurt Vonnegut Jr! T. Coraghessan Boyle! Joseph Heller (maybe)! Tom Robbins! and now it appears that Nick Harkaway can be added to the list of humanistic, cynical, insanely creative authors who truck in wild & wooly tales that blur the boundaries between reality & fantasy and are filled with enormous...
It is probably good for both of us that GR reviews have a character limit. For me, so there is a limit on my copyright violations. For you, so you won't have to read every line that I found amazing, remarkable, thoughtful, or funny. It took me two reads to compile my thoughts on The Gone-Away World,...
I loved the heart out of Edie Banister in Angelmaker. She has steel nerves, comprehensive spy experience, and a creepy old dog with glass balls for eyes and a farting problem. I can't wait to read more about her!
