This book is shit. It’s not a “different people like different things” situation. If you enjoyed this book, I’m sorry, but you’re wrong. Yes, your enjoyment is wrong. The number of good reviews that this has on Goodreads and Amazon is appalling, but still not as appalling as this sorry excuse for a garbage fire of a book. I am actually offended by how bad this book is. Let’s unpack this. First, maybe you’re thinking “If it’s so bad, why did you read it?” Well, […]
This is why I am slightly afraid of plants
Melanie is one of a small group of children who are educated at an exclusive facility, with highly trained security personnel and top-tier medical experts on hand. Her education is extensive and varied. She is a precocious and brilliant girl, with an inquisitive personality and a great deal of self-control. Her survival instinct is finely honed. This all comes in very useful when she, her favourite teacher, two of the guards and one of the doctors are forced to flee their facility and run for […]
Czech Gypsy Porn Star Zombie Killer, Drifters and Thieves
Kill the Dead is the second in the Sandman Slim series. If you like urban fantasy, noir, mysteries, or really well written books you should be reading the Sandman Slim books. Let me repeat this: You should be reading Sandman Slim! I am listening, audio style, while I pack up a friend’s house. McLeod Andrews is an amazing reader. Listening to James Stark (aka Jim, Jimmy, Sandman Slim the monster who kills monsters, or Abomination) drink, smoke, steal cars and serve up shit to people […]
Something’s Rotten in the State of Riverdale
After reading the great review by Halbs and finding myself in a quandary over what to read next (anyone else feel overwhelmed when you have so many books you WANT to read?!?), I decided to test out the waters with Afterlife with Archie: Escape from Riverdale (which I at first wrote as Greendale, because I guess I have Community on the mind). After just finishing five 500 page plus books that dealt with zombies (although they’re never called zombies), I have been missing my fiendish […]
“A feel-good beach read!” – Werner Herzog
While I collect comics as a hobby, I don’t necessarily have every lauded book on my monthly pull list at my friendly neighborhood comic shop. I tend to go for less hero-y, off-the-beaten-path books like Alex + Ada, Letter 44, She-Hulk, or Gotham by Midnight. My all-time favorite series (right now) is Booster Gold, which is pretty fun and light-hearted. But, since everyone has been talking up Archie books lately, particularly Afterlife with Archie, I decided to pick up the first volume, Escape from Riverdale. […]
Second Verse, Same As the First
Sam Sisavath’s second book of survival picks up where the first book left off…and I predict that this is how all the books are going to go. There’s going to be a metaphorical carrot of safety dangled in front of them, they’ll go for it and that safety will be revoked…or so it seems to go. Chapter by chapter we get a story told from the perspective of different characters from varying sides (good guys, bad guys, undead peeps). We have Will and Danny, […]
