The Bottoms (2000) — 1 day ago
NOT WORTH CONSUMING
This novel reads like a poor copy of To Kill a Mockingbird, except with a murderous goat monster. Just not original enough for me.
The Time Ships (1995) — 1 day ago
NOT WORTH CONSUMING
OK, a sequel/update to H.G. Wells’ Time Machine, complete with Morlocks? Just not for me.
The Blind Assassin (2000) — 1 day ago
WORTH CONSUMING!
A novel within a novel within a novel, and the innermost nested one is a bizarre science fiction fable. As the story of two sisters and their family’s fall from grace slowly unravels, the reader is drawn in, ensnared in the interspersed recounting of an illicit love affair, during which the lovers spin out the sci fi story. This is an intricate and enthralling book.
High Fidelity (1995) — 1 day ago
Very similar to the movie, but I actually liked the movie better. The main character is still fairly despicable, though.
