Book Review: Daniel X: Watch the Skies (Book 13 out of 150)

The second Daniel X adventure was better than the first, Much more fast paced. My housemate said the writing was horrible, but I a disagree and I'm the reviewer so there. In this story, Daniel must confront a fish like alien who is using technology to control humanity and turn them into reality... Sign in to see full entry.

Movie Review: Going the Distance

This the perfect date movie. It tells the story of Erin (a Stanford journalism grad student) and Garret (a frustrated record label employee). Erin is finishing her summer internship and Garrett has just gotten out of a long term relationship. They only get 6 weeks before Erin goes back to school. At... Sign in to see full entry.

Book Review: In Sunburned Country (Book 12 out of 150)

This book made me want to go Australia again, even though they have a lovely (not) strike of homophobia. Bill Bryson is a new writer I'm into. It sounds like a nice place. I really want to visit the stirmatilites (not sue of spelling), a kind of living rock that began life. I also want to visit the... Sign in to see full entry.

Book Review: Contagion (Book 11 out of 150)

Robyn Cook is a big name in the popular fiction genres; to my surprise the author is also a he. This story also deals with scary, medical outcomes. The main character is a man who starts as John and becomes Jack as a result of a tragedy. It deals with a topic I find intriguing- big pharma! There is... Sign in to see full entry.

Book Review: The Hades Project (book 10 of 150)

This is the first book in the Covert One Series. I'm not usually into spy novels, but I love a good medical thriller and spy novels are growing one me. In this tale, this is a cool autistic guy, a doctor who loves his country, and a plot that doesn't seem a that far from the the reality. Dr. John... Sign in to see full entry.

Book Review: Mary, Mary (book 8 of 150)

I have never read a James Patterson book, although I know who he is and had of course heard of his famous Alex Cross character. In this 11th book, Dr. Cross (a profiler works for the FBI and lives in DC). He also is a bit of a player (his co-worker named Jam, a California detective named Jean, and a...

Movie review: The Ten

This was a weird little movie. It was supposed to be vignette s about the ten commandments, and the stories somehow interrelate, but it's in no way funny. Prison rape, nuclear accidents, and animated lying rhinos aren't my thing, but I guess someone liked it. The bonus features are even stupider... Sign in to see full entry.

Pride and Prujudice and Zombies (Book 7 of 150)

I'm not much of a zombie fan. That's my ex-assistant Amy's thing. But I like Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. It was cute; a world in which ladies in petticoats kick lots of ass. It's set in the world of Pride and Prejudice (as in Jane Austen's frilly world). I wonder if the original version which... Sign in to see full entry.

Book Review: How to Survive a Robot Uprising (Book 6 or 100)

This is a funny little book in 3 CDs, but the author of Where's My Jetpack? I'm really coming to like Daniel H. Wilson's writing. Perhaps he will be the discovery of this reading cycle. This book is very funny, but does make you think of how much of our lives are given over to machines and... Sign in to see full entry.
