It was incredible fun watching the youngsters go ‘omigerd!’ and ‘WTF!!!!’ in real time to creaky old black and white stories.

Well it's certainly meandering and full of metaphysical claptrap, but that's Swamp Thing. You might as well complain about Superman being nice. It's an interesting take on the Swamp Thing story, doing a bit of Frankenstein, where Alec Holland is sepa ...more |

| I've always enjoyed Charles Paris, and I accept with alacrity its cheery formula. This is somewhat different. Simon has rolled up his sleeves and put Charles and his battle with alcoholism in the centre of the book. This daring intertwining of a stan ...more | |

“Do not light candles in shops. That is an invisible rule. An invisible rule is a rule that no one tells you about until you break it, and then everyone gets cross and tells you shouldn’t have broken the rule, even though they did not tell you the rule, it is always a very important rule.”

I Love the Peter Grant books, I especially love the Koba audiobooks of them. I did however find the latest book a more plodding affair than the first 4 books, all 5 star books for me.
