Luc Reid gave to: Under the Dome by Stephen King read in April, 2012	My rating:
I loved the premise of this book and was excited to read it, but ultimately it didn't deliver for me: I stopped reading halfway through. I'm not saying it's a bad book. If I were bored and had nothing else to read, it would do. I might even really lik...more

The Immortality Virus takes place in a future world where aging stops at about 25. The result is massive overpopulation, homelessness, and starvation. Ironically, immortality creates a world where life is cheap. Grace, the central character, is a form...more

Sword and sorcery superheroes Narrated by the ghost of a deceased drunkard, Greatshadow shows off the strengths I've come to expect in James Maxey's writing: it gushes with cool ideas brought to life; it moves at speed through unexpected and intriguin...more

Luc Reid gave to: The Ring of Solomon (Bartimaeus, #4) by Jonathan Stroud read in July, 2011	My rating:
I was thrilled to find this book, and especially thrilled to find how much I enjoyed it. I've found some of Stroud's characters hard to continue to care about (Nathaniel in the later Bartimaeus Trilogy books particularly), but the characters in this...more
