4.5 stars This is the second book in the Paradox series, which begins with Fortune’s Pawn. While I’m sure you could start with this one, there is really rather a lot of set-up and introduction of characters in the first one that makes this one easier to enjoy, so you really should start at the beginning. It’s also impossible for me to review this book without spoiling some of the stuff from the first book, so go away until you’re caught up. Deviana Morris is […]
The saga of Saga.
I know I’m preaching to the choir when I tell my fellow Cannonballers how great Saga is, how awesome the first four volumes were, and how tortuous its going to be to wait for volume 5. I’m going to keep this short, because I’m guessing a lot of you have already read these, and those that haven’t at least have it on their radar. Picking up some time after then end of Volume 3, we find our main characters assimilating to a somewhat normal life. […]
Macgyver on Mars!
Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. Now h’es sure he’ll be the first person to die there. After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate the planet while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded on Mars’ surface, completely alone, with no way to signal Earth that he’s alive. And even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone years before a rescue could arrive. Doesn’t that […]
Feed me, Seymour…
Earlier this week, I looked at Target’s website to see if they carried shoe repair glue. I didn’t want to make a trip if they didn’t have it (they didn’t, by the way), so I did a brief thirty-second search online rather than drive to the store and be seduced in to buying things I don’t need. Now, each time I log on to the interwebs, I’m inundated by ads for shoe glue, shoe inserts, and cobblers. I rarely pay attention to those ads – […]
You’re just as creepy as I remember, Mr. King…
The last Stephen King book I read was the one about the car, Christine, and it scared sixteen-year-old me enough that I haven’t picked him up since, with the exception of the collection of short stories that has The Body and Shawshank Redemption in it. What can I say? I’m a weenie when it comes to scary things, and since quite a lot of my reading is done at night, after the house is quiet, I don’t need the book I’m reading to add to […]
Still time to read it before the movie comes out
I can’t believe it has taken me a month to get to writing this review. I was telling everyone about it when I finished it, but just didn’t get it written down. I had managed not to hear much about this book beforehand. I can’t even remember where it was recommended so that I put it on my library hold list…and then waited months for it to come up since it was so popular. I will start with what a lot of other people say […]
