review 1: This is a fantastic crime/sci-fi series. Actually its more noir with a bit of a sci-fi twist. But lets not box this story into any kind of genre. Its just a great story. Hank is a policeman. Or at least he was before the world started to fall apart as it waits for a catastrop...

review 1: Most suspense-horror novels, particularly those in the "haunted house" genre, portray the protagonist's surroundings as evil. The hero/ine becomes increasingly trapped in a bad place, helpless to get out, spurned by the usual familial sources of love and comfort, and menaced by ...

review 1: Ehhh. Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is MUCH better. This book started off weird, and just got so much weirder. The author's parts didn't really fit into Jane Austen's words that well. But the thing that bothered me most was the historical inaccuracies with the things that were ...

review 1: This series is a good illustration of the low rating of much genera fiction. Just a couple of notes: Guns do not have "handles." Plot has implausible developments that are REALLY obvious. Characters tend to Central Casting predictable types with little depth. The protagonist does...

review 1: I read the original and thought it was all right - it was a slog and a half, mainly because of the translation.This corrects all the wrongs of the original and made it infinitely more entertaining for me to read. I fully believe androids can make anything better at this point.I d...

review 1: We discovered this book after reading its sequel, "The Mystery of the Missing Everything." This one, too, was great fun and a delightful read. Same kind of "Tina Fey / Mean Girls" vibe, but aimed at a middle school / junior high level. Nothing risque or rude. Humorous, with t...
