What can I sayย โ the most unique piece of science fiction I've read in ages! It feels like it's been ages since I've finished a bookโmuch of my summer disappeared in having my 15-year-old nephew staying with us for seven weeks, while my wife suffered a pretty devastating back injuryโso I've hardly had time...

Book Review: The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson
Finally a new Sanderson book! It feels like it was months ago that I finished the second Mistborn trilogy - or years even! I think I started my Sanderson journey with Skyward? A book I got from one of my sisters for Christmas ages ago. She only knew that I wanted a book, and that... Continue Reading →
Book Review: Personal by Lee Child
This was in danger of being my least favorite Reacher book - if not worse - but it turns out it's the best! First things first - I love Lee Child and Jack Reacher, and I'm beyond hooked now. I picked up my first book a few years ago, liked it well enough, but really... Continue Reading →
Book Review: The Ferryman by Justin Cronin
Well, this wasโฆ interesting. Let me just start with saying that Iโm a massive fan of Justin Cronin. His The Passage and the rest of that trilogy is large responsible for me finding back to my love of reading after not touching a single lick of fiction while I went to university. I spent so...

Book Review: Point Blanc by Anthony Horowitz
This made me feel like a teenager again! Even though I don't recall ever having heard the name Anthony Horowitz before, I recognized the title Point Blanc when I walked past the free-secondhand-books shelf in my local shopping mall, so I figured... why not? So I picked up this, as well as Skeleton Key by... Continue Reading →
Book Review: The Wise Man’s Fear by Patrick Rothfuss
A-Tier Fantasy! Even if the third book never comes out these two books will live with me forever. Patrick Rothfuss surprised me with The Name Of The Wind. I didn't know what to expectโI'd heard great things of course, so I knew I was even in for a treat, but I also knew a lot... Continue Reading →
Book Review: Hannibal Rising by Thomas Harris
Whoa... what a huge disappointment. I... I don't know what happened.ย I devoured Red Dragon, loved it and and jumped right into A Silence Of The Lambs as soon I was done. After reading that I couldn't wait to get started on Hannibal, which ended up being just as good as, if not better than the... Continue Reading →
Book Review: No Plan B by Lee Child
Holy shit, I need more Jack Reacher in my life. It's been four years since I read my first Lee Child book. I'd heard about Jack Reacher before, seen that Tom Cruise movie from a while back, and I remember loving the book. But for some reason I never picked up another one. Then late... Continue Reading →
Book Review: Uten Nรฅde by Birger Amundsen
Uten Nรฅde translates to Without Mercy in Norwegian, and what a merciless book it is! This book is about two things: polar bears, and the people who've encountered themโbe that through hunting, research, or other, terrifying encounters. It's written by Birger Amundsen, a multi-faceted man who is (among other things) an Arctic researcher, a journalist,... Continue Reading →
Book Review: The Name Of The Wind by Patrick Rothfuss
Whoa, where do I even start? Probably one of the best fantasy books... ever? I've heard the name Patrick Rothfuss been thrown around for a while now. I have no idea how long exactly, not since I was very young, but definitely for years, and there was always two things that were mentioned in the... Continue Reading →
