I just re-read this Wild Cards I. I actually listened to the audio book, which includes the extra stories added to computational 1. I enjoyed the hell out of the audio book.

I love Allomancy! The different uses and mystery behind the superhuman abilities of allomancy makes this fantasy world come alive for me. Combine this love with a love of westerns and you have ‘The Alloy of Law'.

This book was a joy to read.

Excellent book as always. Not my favorite Vimes novel of the series. More review to come.

My favorite thing about this novel: It's vampire fiction that does not focus on sex. Sexuality is involved, but it highlights the story rather than taking center stage.

What you get instead is Vampire spy/caper and action. Great read.

Great young adult novel. Excellent gateway to modern paranormal/fnatasy.

Retribution was good, and gives even more information to the interesting Mass Effect Universe. However Retribution does not have the depth of the previous two novels, despite the fact that it ties the two stories from the previous novels together rather well. The story was just not as engaging.

I really enjoy where they are taking the story within this arc. There are time I wish they would focus more on one aspect of the mixed story rather than stringing them all together.

I am really engaged in the political subplot with the Imperial Remnant and the Galactic Alliance, and want additional books devoted to it.

There were parts of this book that I truly enjoyed, the setting, supporting characters, and overall plot were great; however the main character was not hard to overcome. I was very unhappy with him as a character and his growth (often lack there of) throughout the novel.

I still can't decide if I actually liked the book. It is a very, VERY strange story, and I was intrigued and mystified by aspects of it. I recommend the book for those who want a strange journey into mystery and continuousness.

Continues to be one of my favorite Tim Powers Novels.

I really enjoy Chuck's writing style. This collection of short stories is a great showcase of the different (crazy) ideas that runs through this mans mind. I have followed his blog, TerribleMinds, for over a year now, and I was very excited to see how his twisted and humorous writing style would turn to fiction. I was surprised (pleasantly so) that the tone of his fiction is more down to earth, this in no way detracts from the style; nor from the unusual and out of this world nature (some times literally) of the stories.

I read this in high school and was the first book that I could not put down. This book is what got me deep into Sci-Fi Fantasy, and I still seek out Jeff Grubb's new novels. I just adore this book and identify very strongly with his writing style.

This is an exceptionally trippy novel by the master of the unusual story. I have read this volume several times and I get new depths to the meaning behind it every time.

This is one of the best RP based novel that I have read in a long time. The first 2 chapters are tedious to work through, but once you make it past that threshold the book quickly turns into a read that can't be put down.

An excellent look into a Science Fiction future. It combines some of my favorite parts of Detective Stories, Noir, and Transhumanism.

WORST STAR WARS BOOK EVER!

This is one of the books I am reading to get in the mood for my Eclipse Phase Game.

This is a very interesting Sci-Fi book. I could not really get into the First Culture book “consider phlebas” but after finishing this one I think I am going to have to give it another try.

The interesting aspect of the book is that it describes futuristic games in a way that I don't quite get a real sense of what is going on, however I get enough of the feeling for the games played that I understand it in general terms.
Very interesting for a gamer of any caliber.

Not as good as the first, but a very interesting futuristic military fiction piece.

Second Worst Star Wars Novel.... EVER

I am a Warcraft lore fan. I have enjoyed the stories told in this world since Warcraft 2. This book was written for fans like me.

It is very well detailed, and follows the journey of Arthas, his fall, and his rise in Darkness. The book ties elements of Warcraft 3 and Frozen Throne, but adding very detailed context to the actions and dialog of characters from those games.

This book also does a great job of adding in additional media tie-ins (trans-media) to the ongoing comic series, and of course World of Warcraft itself.
