http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/77190215
to: The Arrival (Hardcover)byShaun Tan
I am not sure how best to review a wordless book but most of the 5 star reviews hit it on the head. Beautiful. Evocative. PAcked with symbolism.
Great to see a hometown artist have a global reach. The only minor issue I had is the story is clearly a US immigration model, Ellis Island etc. I would have liked to seen the story influenced by the local (Western Australian) experience.

No new tales covering this behemoth of a bad. The use of "fighting fantasy" style sections...........eg "Your are a long haired golden god...<insert some tale of Plant's>"..........irritated me to distraction

http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/77304607
to: Sands of Death: An Epic Tale of Massacre, Cannibalism, and Survival in the Sahara (Hardcover)byMichael Asher bookshelves: history
The pulpy title lets down a yarn about a failed expedition into the Sahara by the French in the late 1800s. What had all the makings of a gripping tale of exploration, colonialism and survival is missed by a "boys own adventure" narrative, a failure to explore in detail the culture of the Tuareg and a lack of supporting maps.

http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/77190143
to: The Urban Guerilla Concept (Pamphlet)byRed Army Faction bookshelves: history,
politics
One of the first ideological text produced by the Red Army Faction (or as referred to in the "system's" media the Baader- Meinhof gang). Its essentially a split between manifesto and excuse letter, having been released after the operation to free Baader, and it does provide an interesting insight into German/ cold war politics of the time.
Like many writings of this nature there is lots of broad labels and quote heavy rhetoric but little practical substance. The Urban Guerilla Concept is a misleading title in that it fails to provide any detail in the purpose of the guerilla and mechanism about which the revolution could be achieved.
