Dust: A Review
This is the third book in the Silo series by Hugh Howey and finishes the series. This was shorter than the other two books in the series and tied up at least some of the loose ends the previous book had created, but still wasn’t quite as good as the first, I don’t think. It […]

Fifth Estate: A Review
I blogged on Tuesday about the current situation with Assange and while I was researching some of that it brought back to my memory the film hollywood decided to make on wikileaks and Assange last year. I happened to find it on Netflix and figured I’d finally watch it now that it wouldn’t directly result […]

An update on Assange: One room in an Embassy
It’s been several years since Julian Assange took up residence in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London and during that time he’s had to live in one room, an office that’s had a small bed, kitchenette and shower added. There’s no window so no natural light and no where to particularly do anything like exercise. In […]

Shift: A Review
This is the second book in the Silo series by Hugh howey, and I’ve reviewed the first one, Wool, here. This book starts off in the past and from the perspective of a fresh set of characters at first and I found it was a little difficult to keep reading everything as I really wanted […]

I recently reviewed the four books currently in the Class Heroes series, and really enjoyed reading all four (please can we have number five soon?). The author contacted me recently to let me know he had some great new movie style trailers for the books coming out on youtube. I watched the first one today […]

The Game: A Review
This was one of those bookclub books that one of us stumbled upon and recommended to the rest of the group. The premise is very interesting. A virtual reality that kids use to learn about life before they become adults and live their own life. It feeds everything wrong with celebrity culture as it exists […]

Wool: A Review
I’ve been intending to read this book for a while. Not only is the author, Hugh Howey, a genuinely nice guy, but the book has been very popular among my peer group and quite a few people have suggested I read it. Thankfully bookclub decided it would be great to read the trilogy, so I’ll […]

White Fang: A Review
This was the next book on my classic challenge. I’ve always wanted to read this one. White Fang is one of the shorter classics books and didn’t take me too long to read. Right from the beginning I was captivated by the way the author explained the minds of wolves and of the peril of […]
