Book Review: Ansible 15715, By: Stant Litore I give this short story four out of five stars for capturing my imagination and pinning it in a box where I couldn’t help but dwell on it’s ideas and hypotheses’. This was a short story and in all its briefness you get to be terrified, mystified, thought…

Boor Review: The Time Travelers Wife, By:  Audrey Niffenegger I rated this book four out of Five stars for ingenuity, and thinking about the plot when I wasn’t reading the book.One of my very best friends loaned me this book ages ago, but it has been lingering on my nightstand forever.

Book Review: Life After Life, By: Kate Atkinson This was a book my mind had fun chewing on when I was not in the midst of reading it, and because of this I gave it four out of five stars. I thought about this book a great deal, not because of the characters or the…

Bood Review: Tigana by Guy Gavriel Kay I give this book three out of five stars. I will forever remember Tigana as the book full of men crying. The continuous sadness in the book became tiresome and made the never-ending exposition narrative even longer. I think I know who George R.R Martin was reading before he wrote his Game…

Book Review: Starship Grifters by: Robert Kroese I rated this book four out of five stars. What a fun read, I was laughing on out loud on page two. This book is full of humor, and the authors comedic range is impressive. What made it even more fun was a nice adventure story to go…
