Bill, the Galactic Hero On the Planet of Ten Thousand Bars (Bill, the Galactic Hero #6) by Harry Harrison 184. Deep Silence (Joe Ledger #10) by Jonathan Maberry 185. The Final Incoherent Adventure (Bill, the Galactic Hero #7) by Harry Harrison As Bill the Galactic Hero peters out (dick pun intended) so do I. But first, I must high-five a billion times Jonathan Maberry for making Trump a useless tool in his Joe Ledger books. A bunch of fedoras cried […]

I didn’t like this book, but I don’t think this is a book that was written to be liked; enjoyment seems like a poor goalpost to measure the book by. It’s ugly, dark, and unpleasant. So given that this isn’t something that Oprah is going to feature as a new book club selection, how do I judge fairly? It’s compelling and well written; it passed my “still interested after the first couple dozen pages” test, and I read it through completely. The central mystery – […]

Bill, the Galactic Hero On The Planet of Zombie Vampires (Bill the Galactic Hero #5) by Harry Harrison Stephen King’s novellas set in Castle Rock seem to all involve strange weight loss. Two more Bill the Galactic Heroes – for you to refine your […]

One part Scream + one part Anna and the French Kiss = There’s Someone Inside Your House.
Remember a few years ago when everyone was reading Anna and the French Kiss and thought Stephanie Perkins was an adorable, fresh voice in YA? Well, she’s back. And this time, she combines a cute teen romance with a Scream-esque horror novel, and the results are mostly great. From Amazon: It’s been almost a year since Makani Young came to live with her grandmother in landlocked Nebraska, and she’s still adjusting to her new life. And still haunted by her past in Hawaii. Then, one […]

The Tommyknockers – 3/5 Stars This book has some significant issues, but it’s also very good at a few things. The biggest issue is that it’s a little too on the nose with so much of the characterization and subplots. It’s a little too convenient that, for example, so many of the characters in the book are immune through slightly ridiculous ways to the central supernatural element of the book. So the book itself involves a writer living in a small town in upstate Maine […]
