I suppose that to start with I have to say that Altered Carbon is a very very good book. And that concludes the review. Thank you very much. Good night. “Why, why?” I hear you cry. Harumph, Oh OK then. I really got caught up in it’s pace , and since finishing it, I am having…

Starting the Sword of Shannara
Just a quick post to follow up my tweet. I managed to abstain from starting The Sword of Shannara all day, and got quite a bit of my Altered Carbon review sorted out on the train instead, yay me! BUT I’m about to go and sit with my children while they read. So in full…
Hello Word Press, nice to be here
Evening all. Well, what the bloody hell happened there? One minute I was finishing Altered Carbon and trying to find the time to write the review before starting Terry Brooks – The Sword of Shannara. Next thing I know, I’ve half written the review in evernote (other note apps are available) and moved my blog!! I’m not…
Next Book – Terry Brooks – The Sword of Shannara
Oh my goodness. I cant quite believe that I am rushing to write this blog post so soon. Altered Carbon has rather taken me way with it. I am currently VERY busy at work, but, nevertheless find that in snatched moments I am dreaming, nay yearning to read my book. I almost feel like I need…
Book Review – Raven – Charles L. Grant
I finished Raven by Charles Grant last night and I have to say that I really enjoyed it. I didn’t really know what to expect when I started the book, but given the genre and the cover picture, I think I more or less got it! My only criticism is that I think the story…
Next Book: Richard Morgan – Altered Carbon
Hi everyone. Another quick post to announce my next book. I am just over half way through Raven so I wanted to choose what I would follow it with. I have just replied to a tweet about The Wheel of Time series. These books were really highly recommended to me and I managed to buy the…
Book Review – The Fog – James Herbert
I’ve just finished The Fog and I wanted to get into the habit of writing the review before I start the next book. I managed to get almost 1/2 way through The Fog before I had written the review for Captain Corelli’s Mandolin, and that is frankly not acceptable! The review for The Fog will…
Book Review – Captain Corelli’s Mandolin – Louis de Bernières
By the time I post this blog article, I will have posed the raw notes I took as I read the book. I am really enjoying making these notes. Creating them adds depth to the experience of reading and I find it worth taking the time as I read. When I was looking up some of…
Not quite the Book Review – Captain Corelli’s Mandolin
Here is my quick and dirty list of references from Captain Corelli’s Mandolin. They are of limited value without the book, but there is some interesting stuff to go and find out about if you wanted to 🙂 1st page of the book, about Louis de Bernieres – His first novel was called “The War…
Next book: James Herbert – The Fog
Evening all. I am within spitting distance of finishing Captain Corelli’s Mandolin and have been planning a bit of a new idea for future books. I should have realised this right at the start, but this blog is called a book club! As far as I can, I will post a blog entry before I…
