Invincible Iron Man, Vol. 1: The Five Nightmares (2008)

Erik Larsen ruined this for me. Well, not directly but just something he said recently on Twitter. He was talking about his comic 'The Savage Dragon' and how as it was set in real time, he had no time to waste. Everything had to move plot and/or character forward.So that was very much in my head ...

The Human Division (2013)

I appreciate this was written and presented as a serial novel, but let's be honest, prepare yourself for a series of linked short stories.A return to the "Old Man's War! universe is still welcome and it makes for a very easy read for those of us who have arrived late. All the stories are good, ni...

A crew, composed of Earth’s best of the best, is launched into space on a mission of discovery beyond the Solar System. The crew quickly discovers that they have landed in the middle of an intergalactic war and must fight or run back home. Of course they decide to stay and battle the ugly aliens....

Pirate Cinema (2012)

I'd love to like this book. Unfortunately, it has some huge, glaring issues that have been examined in detail by reviewers who are much cleverer with the wordy-talk than I am. I'm a huge proponent of Net Neutrality, libraries for the arts, creative commons, and the liberation of our culture from ...

Batman #1 (2011)

So brilliant. I can't even. Great Batman story brings him back to his roots of being the worlds greatest detective.

The Flash, Vol. 1: Move Forward (2012)

It was terrible, I kept jumping from scene to scene... I kept looking back to see if I was missing any pages. I wanted to start reading more about flash, because I never really had before. But with my surprise the new 52 did not start with an origin story for Flash... I was truly thrown into his ...

Superman Action Comics, Cilt 1: Superman ve Çelik Adamlar (2000)

I really enjoyed this comic. I'm a fan of Grant Morrison and Superman, so this was a perfect find. I like the questions asked in the comic: where does the "s" come from? When did he get called "Superman?" Where did the uniforms come from? Is he Clark pretending to be Superman or the other way aro...

Teräsmies – Miehet terästä (2013)

I used to collect Superman comics when I was young and now that the trades of the new 52 are coming out, I've picked up a few titles. Intrigued by the t-shirt and jeans wearing Superman, I bought volume 1. For the most part, I followed it--that is, the 2nd time I read it. Then I got online and re...

Action Comics, Vol. 1: Superman and the Men of Steel (2012)

Morrison's All-Star Superman isn't just one the best Superman comics but one of the best superhero comics of all time so I came to this with some excitement and high expectations. Unfortunately it's a huge disappointment. It has some nice ideas and some clever touches but it's mostly messily draw...

Pump Six and Other Stories (2008)

I certainly consider Bacigalupi to rank among the top five most significant science fiction writers active today. His work crackles with invention and relevancy. Indeed, a few of the stories in this book are among my favorite sci-fi stories of the past decade. So why only 3 stars? I'd already rea...

Čerpadlo 6 (2010)

Interesting writing with a unique style. Paolo Bacigalupi's writing is dark and frightening, addressing many of the large looming issues we face globally: distribution of resources, pollution, lack of conscientiousness and warped ideas of beauty and even disillusionment. I really appreciated his ...

Pump Six (2010)

Two stories in so far, both have a lot to recommend themselves. The first "Pocketful of Dharma", the writing is masterful, I like the bioengineered city, the characterization is wonderful. I like Soldier Wang very much. The writing is beautiful and poetic, and the story draws you along. You are ...

La bomba número seis y otros relatos (2013)

Tak jedná se o povídkovou knihu. Hned první povídka mi málem odradila. Představa, že budu číst zase něco, kde jsou čínské jména a i sem tam čínské fráze mi celkem odrazovala. Než se konečně zorientuji ve jméně, tak je konec… Tuto povídku hodnotím jako nejslabší.Druhá to však vylepšila s Klasickým...

Flowertown (2012)

Seeing as though I bought this for £0.99 on my kindle I was amazed at how well written it was; and the character depth was amazing, with so much detail of the smallest of characters i.e. Mr McDonald's speeches in the last chapters. Ellie being another strong female lead which you can't help but l...

Everything Matters! (2009)

Don't read this if you're not me.8/25/2014. I should have reviewed this back when I finished it like seven months ago. I really liked it; it sort of made me depressed while at the same time making me feel free and hopeful. Ugh. I really need to make notes after I finish books. Update: Appar...
