Review: “Reiffen’s Choice” by S. C. Butler

Review: “Reiffen’s Choice” by S. C. Butler

Tim Adamec | December 29, 2006June 6, 2024 | 1 Comment

I really enjoyed the writing style. While the book is targeted for the young adult, descriptions and dialogue do not blatantly point it out. Readers who enjoy writers like Raymond E. Feist and J. K. Rowling will not be disappointed by Reiffen’s Choice.

Review: “Roil” by Trent Jamieson

Review: “Roil” by Trent Jamieson

Laith Preston | December 5, 2011July 27, 2024

Trent Jamieson’s Roil, the first book in The Nightbound Land duology, promises… and delivers.

Review: “Jump Start” by Gary Carter

Joe Murphy | December 22, 2003June 3, 2024

All in all, though I think the book is flawed, I wanted to keep reading. I wanted to see how the story ended, which is a lot more I can say about other books I’ve reviewed.

I feel a bit flummoxed when it comes to rating this book. I enjoyed reading it, I don’t deny that, but the entire time I’m also thinking how much better it could be. Since I’m torn down the middle, I’ll tear the rating down the middle as well.

Review: “Night Rising” by Chris Marie Green

Review: “Night Rising” by Chris Marie Green

Jane Litte | February 19, 2007August 10, 2024 | 3 Comments

The story is fast paced and filled with enough gory fight scenes to please the hard core urban fantasy reader but with a surprisingly emotional layer that may appeal to the female reader. It fails to deliver a complete world building construct and this coupled with the tendency to leave more plot threads open than resolved left this reader dissatisfied.

Review: “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz” Graphic Novel

Review: “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz” Graphic Novel

Darcy Low | August 19, 2010July 27, 2024

This graphic novel is perfect for anyone that has seen the movie or read the books, and wants to remember this great story. But more than that, this would be perfect if you have young kids that would be bored with the movie, but you want to share this with them. They would love this book and could act as a gateway to get them to read the novels.

Review: “The Ghost Brigades” by John Scalzi

Review: “The Ghost Brigades” by John Scalzi

David Moldawer | December 24, 2005June 3, 2024

Ghost Brigades is a pageturner with surprising emotional rewards, but I’m hoping that Scalzi plans to write more books in this universe, because as it is there are too many ideas here for his own good.

Review: “The Making of a Graphic Novel/The Resonator” by Prentis Rollins

Review: “The Making of a Graphic Novel/The Resonator” by Prentis Rollins

David Moldawer | April 30, 2006August 10, 2024

This is one of those ideas that seems so obvious you wonder why it hasn’t been done before. Writer-artist Rollins, who’s worked extensively for DC Comics, splits his book in half.

Review: “Chance Fortune and the Outlaws” by Shane Berryhill

Review: “Chance Fortune and the Outlaws” by Shane Berryhill

Brian Brown | May 2, 2007August 10, 2024

Chance Fortune and the Outlaws is a fun story that pays homage to classic comic books and throws in young people having to deal with more than just learning to use their powers. If you enjoy a good read along the lines of Mr. Potter and his friends, comic book superheroes or just want something different to entice younger readers I would recommend this book.
