A good, solid read I've plundered once before, but I just got the second book, so I'm back. I don't often read books twice unless they are really exceptional, so that should give you a clue as to the quality of this one. It's modern day sci-fi, the c ...more
Cameron Currie and 14 other people liked Bradley's review of Venomous Lumpsucker:
Venomous Lumpsucker by Ned Beauman
"5* with caveats.

This novel has a very specific purpose in mind. Sure, it may lead us to several different conclusions and does a great job handing us the options, but at its core, it's a Eco-SF novel. What is that? It's an agenda piece. And just bec" Read more of this review »

Adams never disappoints. The way that he turns a simple, boring sentence into two entertaining paragraphs never ceases to amaze me.

Elantris by Brandon Sanderson

Apparently this was Sanderson's first book (not certain of that, or where I heard it from). It's very solid, and remarkable for a first effort. Sanderson's style reminds me of some of the older science fiction, placed into a fantasy format. A good re ...more
Asasina de zei by Hannah Kaner
"Too much advertisement about nothing. It was just someone’s loquacious tabletop roleplaying campaign featuring stock characters... 0 sense of urgency, 0 stakes, 0 mystery. Titular character is a homeless whore, hence her name Pillow. And she can be a" Read more of this review »

Tress of the Emerald Sea by Brandon Sanderson

A great stand-alone up to Sanderson's usual standard. A slight variation from his usual structure, which is nice; it came off as a sort of YA variation, had some twists that I anticipated, and some that I didn't. A fun read. ...more

Jingo by Terry Pratchett

I've been on a bit of a Terry Pratchett kick lately, and this one did not disappoint. I rather like the characters Vimes and Vetinari (I think that's how you spell it!) foiling each other with each new development. Pratchett has a cynical view of pol ...more

Trivium by John Michell

Dry as hell, but a reference of indisputable handiness. You would have a hard time learning half as much from any comparable book.

Yumi and the Nightmare Painter by Brandon Sanderson

A unique story from the Cosmere, an unusual romance bit, Sanderson's usual great worldbuilding, and a mystery subplot that played me like a puppet. Good job, Brandon. ...more
