review 1: This one only gets two stars because the utter lack of emotions shown by the main character at times. I really like the series, it's like a Michael Bay movie, fast paced and enjoyable and nothing too deep but the utter one dimensional nature of the characters through the series ...

review 1: This is one of my favourite series of books, Simon R. Green makes me laugh every time. I've read some reviews that say it's all a bit formulaic, but to my mind it's very redolent of the original 007 films. We learn a bit more about Eddie and his family each time, and are drawn in...

review 1: This was an irritating book for all of the wrong reasons. I don't mind that it's basically three different stories smooshed together to make a novel. I don't mind that people come back and people die. I don't mind that a magical whatsit shows up at the very end.SpoilersI loved ho...

review 1: This one had a bit more thinking before acting, which is appreciated. A necessary side effect of Edwin not having access to his family or his armor. Edwin finds a workaround for the armor issue. Which leads to a lot of Molly saying, "Eddie, this isn't like you!" Which would make ...

review 1: I've long regarded the Drood series as 'guilty pleasures' -- usually I find the books incredibly silly, but I can't stop reading them. This book actually takes a step above that, by virtue of making unavailable the Deus Ex Machina that is the Drood armor, and turning it into a le...

review 1: I like these books, they are fun, kinda campy, the characters have their ways of behaving, they stay true to character and the world doesn't work like you expect it to. It surprises me, which I like. Scary stuff happens, though I don't end up tension filled while reading, nor do...

review 1: If you're still reading the Nightside books then you probably quite like them and know what to expect. If you aren't already into the series this almost certainly isn't the place to start.I think these books are determinedly entertaining, not deep and philosophical but full of id...

review 1: This actually managed to break out of some of the standard Simon R. Green writing and be genuinly scary at times. Often Green's own writing gets in the way of pushing the horror of a setting, but this time it worked very well. Overall I liked it a bit more than Ghost of a Chance ...

review 1: It seems that Simon R Green has actually run out of ideas for this novel as he is now recycling bad guys. This novel deals briefly with the changes in the nightside and the new authorities. It is mainly about a man called Walker who is the wrathful agent of god who is put on eart...

review 1: Mainly due to the Nightside series, I keep expecting more from this series. But it's just alright. Big, over the top fights. Eddie "having to" do unsavory things for the "greater good" and feeling badly, but not that badly about it. Molly trying to be his conscience, even as she ...

review 1: Another fast read that follows right on the heels of The Good, The Bad, and the Uncanny. Excalibur has literally shown up on John's and Suzie's doorstep in the Post no less. The Elves are threatening to go to war in Nightside. And it seems the answer to both lies in London Pro...

review 1: An elf is walking in the Nightside and that is never good news. Elves can’t be trusted, even when they lie. Now John Taylor has agreed to escort this elf across town. In exchange, the elf says he will let Taylor in on a secret: SOMETHING REALLY, REALLY BAD IS COMING TO THE NIGHTS...

review 1: Welcome to the 6th book in the Secret Histories series by Simon R Green, following the adventures of Edwin Drood and the love of his life the infamous Molly Metcalf.I can certainly say one thing for Simon R Green, he's certainly one for consistency and repetition. For those that ...

review 1: After the huge disappointment of the previous book, we get to the finale. I really enjoyed it. It was one of the few times with the series that I stayed up to try finishing the book.I was expecting a big showdown for the final book. That didn't happen, though I suppose every othe...

review 1: Sorry. It was just too irritating to continue reading. I didn't like the characters at all, and after 35 pages I didn't even have a feel for what the plot line would be. Instead of going to a haunted inn as the blurb indicated, they went into a hole in London on steps that wer...

review 1: A fast-paced ride to a possessed radio station that leaves the Ghost-Finder crew dealing with ghastly voices and horrific visions. This book is a wonderful addition to the series that actually answers a few questions about JC and Kim. Unfortunately, it also raises more questions....

review 1: I actually had my husband read this book first because the only Simon R. Green books I've read are the Secret Histories novels and I was unsure if the short stories in this book would tie into any of his other novels. The good news is that this book can be read completely as a st...
