Dungeons & Dragons Volume 2 by John Rogers
My rating:
didn't like it it was ok liked it really liked it it was amazing
add to my books
Tells us how the band got together in the first place and continues where it left off from the first book. The one liners come thick and fast ("I'm being disemboweled...horribly!". A fun read and if it wasn't for the inconsistency in the artwork I wo...more

Astonishing Spider-Man & Wolverine by Jason Aaron
My rating:
didn't like it it was ok liked it really liked it it was amazing
add to my books
Two of Marvel's popular characters team up in a time travelling adventure that makes absolutely no sense and has no satisfactory conclusion. And you know what? I prefer it that way. Not everything must end neatly, wrapped in a bow. Like Spider-Man sa...more

The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole Aged 13 ¾ by Sue Townsend
My rating:
didn't like it it was ok liked it really liked it it was amazing
add to my books
This is a re-read. The first time I read this book it was over twenty years ago, I was the same age as Adrian and despite our differences in culture I could relate to his worries and hopes. Reading it again now brings back memories and also a fresh l...more

(The following review is an excerpt from my blog: The Malaysian Reader

There are stories of arranged marriages like Aisha Saeed’s “Leap of Faith” who was so adamant against the idea that when the boy’s family asked for a photo, she did her best to p...more

Star Wars by James Luceno
Star Wars: Darth Plagueis
by James Luceno
read in February, 2012
My rating:
didn't like it it was ok liked it really liked it it was amazing
add to my books
It's a Star Wars book, so it's a glorified fanfiction, detailing the origins of Darth Plagueis and his apprentice Darth Sidious. Being closely connected with the movies (Ep. I to be precise) actually helped. It also helped me understand the motivatio...more

Empire in Black and Gold by Adrian Tchaikovsky
My rating:
didn't like it it was ok liked it really liked it it was amazing
add to my books
Yet another book that failed the 50 page rule (which states that, in case you don't know, if a book fails to grab your interest by page 50 then drop it). Its in medias res opening chapter was interesting enough what with a battle against overwhelming...more
Empire in Black and Gold by Adrian Tchaikovsky
" I'm in a very small minority here as most reviewers on Goodreads and Amazon simply love this book. While it may not be a 1 star book, I'm stuck without an applicable rating to give it. There really needs to a be a "can't finish it" rati... "

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
The Hunger Games
by Suzanne Collins
read in January, 2012
My rating:
didn't like it it was ok liked it really liked it it was amazing
add to my books
Comparisons to Battle Royale is inevitable but to say one is better than the other is unfair to both books. To quote Rodney King, "Can't we all just get along?"

As young adult (YA) novels go, Hunger Games isn't bad. The romance is a bit stilted in ...more
