Ansible by Stant Litore My rating: 4 of 5 stars Like Wool, a series of short stories that slowly reveal more and more if this world. It’s hard to say too much without ruining the beauty of this story. Let’s just say that it is much more terrifying than I thought it would be from…

Bible Adventures by Gabe Durham My rating: 4 of 5 stars It was interesting to read about this game from someone that had a similar upbringing and encountered it for the the first time at church, as did I. It was always a weird thing to exist, especially since I didn’t know at the time…

Lightspeed Magazine, July 2010 by John Joseph Adams My rating: 4 of 5 stars As usual for anthology-type things, an expansion on my status updates. But, before that, let me just say that I love science fiction and fantasy short stories and listen to SFF/F podcasts to hear them. So this was a very fun…

Dune by Frank Herbert My rating: 3 of 5 stars Well, that was quite a journey – both in the amount of time it took me to finish the book and in the scope of the book itself. I guess I’ll consider it in that order. This book, like all sci fi books that deviate…

Video Games Are No Fun by Kill Screen Magazine My rating: 4 of 5 stars As I usually do with an anthology-style product, I’m just moving over my status updates. “Big Buck- I’ve seriously misjudged this game all these years” “King of the Ogres – Although I never got into WOW, I’ve faced similar issues…

A Clash of Kings by George R.R. Martin My rating: 4 of 5 stars As I said with the previous book, there probably isn’t too much that’s new to say about this book given its age and the popularity of the TV show. I think I once read that ASOIAF was originally meant to be…

Return of the Jedi Radio Drama by Brian Daley My rating: 3 of 5 stars This radio play reminded me that Return of the Jedi is the Star Wars movie I like the least. The plot isn’t all that interesting and the parts that are supposed to resonate most with Vader and Luke just don’t…

The Empire Strikes Back: The Original Radio Drama by Brian Daley My rating: 4 of 5 stars Great voice acting all around. Not as much extra supplementary material compared to A New Hope, but still some fun extra scenes and exposition because it’s a radio play and they have to describe stuff that’s happening. As…

A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin My rating: 5 of 5 stars What can I truly say? This book is about 20 years old and obviously it was exciting enough to make in into the HBO show. For a long time I resisted reading because I’d heard there were a lot of departures…

Rogue by J.T. Vaydensen My rating: 4 of 5 stars Disclaimer: I got this book free in exchange for a review Rarely does my opinion of a book change so drastically from beginning to end (and throughout). When I started the book, I was wary of where it was going to go. It seemed a…

God Is Disappointed in You by Mark Russell My rating: 4 of 5 stars When I was a kid I was a huge Bible nerd. I read The Picture Bible at least 5 times front to back (one of my first comics, now that I think about it). I’ve read MOST of the Bible a…

Who Censored Roger Rabbit? by Gary K. Wolf My rating: 3 of 5 stars This book is completely different from the movie it inspired, the movie I’ve loved since I was a kid and have found layers to appreciate as an adult. It isn’t bad, it’s just wholly different. I’ve written in some reviews on…

The End of All Things by John Scalzi My rating: 4 of 5 stars This book is as fitting an end to the series as the third one was. Scalzi does a good job of wrapping things up so that if this book truly was the end of all things Old Man’s War, you’d be…

The Human Division by John Scalzi My rating: 5 of 5 stars As I stated during one of my status updates, the structure of this book reminded me of I, Robot. In that short story collection, Asimov has a couple guys who work for US Robotics (or whatever the company’s called) who somehow always end…
