Review: Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins *Spoilers*
** Please assume this review will contain spoilers for all books in the series but particularly Mockingjay ** So, how to talk about this one? I have a feeling this might be a bit disjointed. So I’ll start by saying I LOVED THE BOOK. From some of the reaction I’ve seen, reactions have been mixed on this the conclusion to The Hunger Games trilogy. I think we were expecting a crusading...

Review: Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater – Audiobook Narrated by David LeDoux & Jenna Lamia
This one’s been sitting in my drafts folder for ages, so I thought I better get around to it. It’s not that I didn’t enjoy it, because as I’m listening to Linger whilst I write this… As I’m sure most people know about this one by now, so I’m going to be lazy and use the publishers synopsis, so feel free to skip the italics to get to my thoughts! For years,... [Read more]
Review: My Name is Mina by David Almond
Some books demand to be bought the instant you spot them sitting on the bookshelves or tables at your local store. This was almost certainly one of those occasions! and not just because it’s all gold and shiny!.. It David Almond and the prequel to Skellig! *SOLD!* As you can probably guess from the cover it’s also wonderfully presented inside, heavy weight bright white paper with different fonts...

Review: The Dead Boy Detectives by Ed Brubaker, Bryan Talbot & Steve Leialoho
Let’s be honest I picked this one up for the Dave Mckean covers first of all. The title pretty much guaranteed that I’d be reading it at some point. Other than that I knew nothing about it, I recognised Bryan Talbot’s name of course, but nothing else. Turns out The Dead Boy Detectives are originally Neil Gaiman’s creation, part of his Sandman universe. You can read more about... [Read more]

I posted my review of In Mike We Trust, earlier today.... [Read more]

Review: Losing It by Keith Gray et al
Look at the book cover to the right. (Go on, I’ll wait while you gawp and drool at the names involved!) Not a bad collection of young adult authors is it? Losing It, is an anthology of stories about, well… Losing It… or not losing it in some cases. It’s also about, living with it, talking about it, lying about it, thinking about it… With subject matter like that, it... [Read more]
