The book is okay. It does a decent job of setting up its characters, and establishing the technologies that will appear in future books in the series. However, always skates on the edge of turning into the Exciting Adventures Of Nothing Happening.

The book significantly underestimates gaming's role in promoting the adoption of computing technologies. I'm to get more into this in depth with my video review.

Deepsix is certainly an interesting humans-against-nature story, but it's got some real characterization problems. I'll do a full review of this for my web series, and for Bureau42.

Really good book, and definitely one of the cases where, I suspect if I read it again or watched it again, I could spot the clues in hindsight (as opposed to Murder on the Orient Express, where many of them aren't there.

The ending was a little anti-climactic, and the plot for the first half really didn't go anywhere, but otherwise the story was enjoyable.

A really good conclusion to the Thrawn Trilogy. The most recent audiobook is also very well done. I really hope the X-Wing series gets some similar audiobook treatments.

A fun fantasy novel that does a good job of bridging the gap between high fantasy and heroic fantasy. I particularly liked the little nods to Wagner's Ring cycle with the series gemstone. My main complaint is that the gemstone doesn't come up soon enough in the book's plot.

I've always found the economy behind spam kind of interesting, and this book does an interesting job at shedding light on how spam works, both in terms of who's doing it and how, and also in terms of who is buying and why.

This is as much a Moebius work as it is a Stan Lee work, and it is fantastic. Anyone who wants to call themselves a fan of Moebius needs to read this. Period.

I think this book is fantastic.

This is a story that probably couldn't have been done on television, if only for reasons of budget and content. The story is interesting and well written.

This volume is absolutely fantastic. This is the best volume of the series thus far, and probably one of the best volumes of a SF Comic I've read in quite some time.

This, currently, is my favorite of this year's Hugo Award nominees.

Very well done post-apocalyptic Fantasy novel. Hawkmoon is a much better, and much more likable protagonist then Elric of Melnibone is.
