Recent PostsAs comic books (sorry, graphic novels) go this is pretty standard - lots of explosions and people going aaaaaaaauurrrgggggghhhh a lot (mainly She-Hulk in this case), and a few scantily-clad heroines. It does have a pretty decent storyline too, but t...
Having really enjoyed Priestess of Avalon in the same series, I'd been looking forward to this book, but felt rather disappointed by it in the end. Set earlier in the series it concerns mainly Gaius, a young man of half-Roman, half-Briton heritage, ...
The Last Hero is one of the shorter Discworld novels and (possibly) the only one that's only available as an illustrated novel (not sure if you can get it without illustrations). It starts off a bit weakly - some good laughs certainly but the change...
The Witch's Guide to Cooking with Children starts with a forward by the witch Fay Holaderry relates her love for eating children, how she traps them, how some parents actually ask her to get rid of their children this way and, at the end, cautions th...
I know, I know... I'm reading the Avalon books out of order. Still, each book is complete in its own right and, on the whole, I'm enjoying The Forest House, which is a prequel to The Mists of Avalon. It bears many of the same strengths and weakness...

Hyderabadiz TeamYour blogs are very focused, and this review blog is excellent. I just browsed at some of the reviews, detailed and analytical--two in one.
Interestingly, you do have the basics (the three pillars, as I would call) in a book review: Strength, weakness, and recommendation; many forget / or simply don't know the technique.
Wonder why not add a link to Amazon for each book you review, as I do in all my blogs--looks you have a Amazon Associate account.
Best wishes for more analytics and a longer life.
Rey Ybarravery nice book review blog! I added you as a favorite and friend. Please take a look at my best selling author tv site and rate it.

Country PumpkinI have just read your Narnia vs Harry Potter review, what a great idea! I loved it (Although I would go for Harry Potter every time) plus I'm liking the mention of Bridge to Terabithia on your comments page... read it as a kid, and it made me cry (in the good, this book is fantastic kind of way). Anyway, enough of my waffling. Keep up the good work!
