Somewhere, a Boy and a Bear by Gyles Brandreth
Rate this book
Clear rating
Affable, charming, probably intentionally echoing his subject's writing style, Brandreth focuses mostly on the early life of A.A. Milne and the choices that led him to becoming a popular playwright and -- with the publication of When We Were Very You ...more

Travels with Agatha Christie by David Suchet
Rate this book
Clear rating
Excellent photos and I learned some interesting things about Agatha Christie along the way. But the text rambles, and Suchet introduces us to a lot of people without giving us any real sense of who they are and how he interacted with them. I learned ...more

Absolute Wonder Woman Vol. 1 by Kelly Thompson
Rate this book

Really enjoyed the writing, the art, and the essential elements of Wonder Woman's character (she tries so hard to get the bad guys to stand down, even though they almost never do). But if I'm honest, I kind of miss the island paradise and the sisterh ...more

Good Omens The Graphic Novel by Terry Pratchett

Clear rating
Doran's art is lovely, but it's hard to imagine what someone new to Good Omens would make of the story. This is more of a treat for long-time fans than an on-ramp for enjoying the story in a new way. ...more

Bear Head by Adrian Tchaikovsky
Rate this book
Clear rating
Not as much fun as the first book, partially because Rex is no longer the protagonist and because the antagonist is a sociopathic parasite closely modeled on Donald Trump. In fact, Tchaikovsky has a theory as to why Trump is the way he is, which is w ...more

So, we just had Ivy take on Woodrue with the combined powers of The Green (plant life) and The Grey (fungus). She died, but was ultimately brought back to life. It's giving her a LOT of time to work on what she" Read more of this review »
