Lord of the Flies by William Golding Review
During the silent but terrifying Cold War William Golding produced his masterpiece, Lord of the Flies. Not only is it a gripping tale about a group of schoolboys forced to survive on a deserted island after a plane crash, it is also a brilliant allegorical tale about the conflicts between civilization and primal savagery. This simple and easy to understand symbolism has made Lord of … Continue reading Lord of the Flies by William Golding Review
Equal Rites by Terry Pratchett Review
I am a huge Terry Pratchett fan, his Discworld collection is a majestic vision of a humorous, dangerous and quite absurd universe within which anything is possible. That being said some of those stories are better than others. His first two books in the series, The Colour of Magic and The Light Fantastic, for instance are not exactly his best. They are certainly quite funny … Continue reading Equal Rites by Terry Pratchett Review
William Shakespeare’s Star Wars: Verily, a New Hope Review
Who’d have thought that Star Wars and Shakespeare go hand to hand perfectly? Well it turns out that author Ian Doescher did and he hits it out the park with ‘Verily, A New Hope’ the first entry in his Star Wars/Shakespeare saga. As it turns out, the story of Star Wars, with all of its drama, tragedy, romance, humour, and amazing characters fits brilliantly into Shakespeare literary … Continue reading William Shakespeare’s Star Wars: Verily, a New Hope Review
11.22.63 by Stephen King Review
If you could go back in time and change the course of human history would you do it? Even if it meant sacrificing so much of your own life in the process? Well that’s the premise of Stephen Kings 54th fiction book, 11.22.63. King gives us a new protagonist in the form of Jake Epping, a high school English teacher from Lisbon Falls Maine, because … Continue reading 11.22.63 by Stephen King Review
Eyes of Sleeping Children by D.A. Butcher Review
D.A. Butcher comes out swinging hard with this stunning debut novel. Eyes of Sleeping Children is a psychological thriller set in the 1930’s and takes place in a depression hit Kansas that is about to bare the brunt of a giant dust storm. The focus of this story falls squarely upon the Lockhart family, and specifically upon the father Louis. As the storm begins to … Continue reading Eyes of Sleeping Children by D.A. Butcher Review
Fiona’s Guardians by Dan Klefstad Review
I love vampires and I’ve have written about them more than once on this website, so I loved it when Fiona’s Guardians dropped into our inbox. This unique and intriguing novel was just the thing to devour over a free weekend. Daniel is more dedicated to his job than most people are, and certainly far more than he should be. Daniel’s job is his life, … Continue reading Fiona’s Guardians by Dan Klefstad Review

We have a lot of awesome submitted books in our list that we have to review and sadly we aren’t superheroes. I know its sad right? I so wish we were Iron man, or at the very least hawkeye. But we aren’t. I cry myself to sleep every night because of it. But I digress. We need reviewers. We need people who love books and … Continue reading We are looking for reviewers
The Tower by Valerio Massimo Manfredi Review
Wow, this is a bad book, I need to get that out of the way first of all, this is not on my recommended list in any way shape or form, unless as a means of torture I suppose. I had high hopes for The Tower, it teases a mythical millenia long secret that has impacted human society from the Roman Empire to present day. … Continue reading The Tower by Valerio Massimo Manfredi Review
Hollow Road (Maer Cycle book 1) by Dan Fitzgerald Review
On the face of it Hollow Road (The Maer Cycle Book 1) by Dan Fitzgerald sounds like a straightforward and very formulaic fantasy novel. Three characters, Sinnie, Carl, and Finn are sent off on an adventure by a wealthy benefactor, and of course each character has devoted their life to a different profession. Sinnie works for a travelling circus and is a badass with a … Continue reading Hollow Road (Maer Cycle book 1) by Dan Fitzgerald Review
