| I found this to be a pretty fun read, in the tradition of the "lighthearted" British mystery. The characters were fun, well-drawn, and interacted believably. I've thought several times about how refreshing it would be to have a mystery solved by some ...more | |

| I loved science fiction when I was a kid but rarely read it now, mostly because of books like Stephen Baxter's Titan. My kind of sci-fi leans toward stories like "Barbara X-13 an' me, we took us a ride on that there Astro Light-Wave Ship thingy to th ...more | |

| All I can say is: I wish I'd started reading these books much earlier. And I wish I'd bought a few for my dad--he would've loved them. Well, I can also say that the Bathroom Readers' Institute never lets the facts get in the way of telling a good sto ...more | |
