Book Review: Operation Bounce House – Matt Dinniman
Matt Dinniman is fast becoming a must-read author after being catapulted into the stratosphere with his Dungeon Crawler Carl Series. Operation Bounce House is a tad bit different in that it is a completely different genre from the LitRPG books he is more recently known for. Operation Bounce House is a sci-fi dystopian novel set…
Book Review: The Running Man – Richard Bachman, Stephen King
The Running Man by Richard Bachman / Stephen King is a 1982 dystopian sci-fi novel that recently came back into the spotlight with the new movie of the same name starring Hollywood’s recent darling Glen Powell. While I’m sure the movie is bound to be a action extravaganza, I was more curious about reading the…
Book Review: The Impossible Detective – Bob Reiss
Note: This copy of The Impossible Detective was provided by NetGalley. Let me preface this review by saying this book left me with mixed feelings. The Impossible Detective by Bob Reiss has a very interesting premise. A young girl is witness to an autonomous vehicle hitting somebody, not once but twice, and then casually driving…
Book Review: Seven Reasons to Murder Your Dinner Guests – K.J. Whittle
Note: This copy of Seven Reasons To Murder Your Dinner Guests was provided by NetGalley. K.J. Whittle’s Seven Reasons To Murder Your Dinner Guests may have an innocuous and innocent looking cover; it is anything but. The story of how seven seemingly random strangers are invited to a dinner where they are provided with a…
Book Review: The Man Who Died Seven Times – Yasuhiko Nishizawa
Note: This copy of The Man Who Died Seven Times was provided by NetGalley. The Man Who Died Seven Times is one hell of an intriguing title. Originally published in 1998 (according to Goodreads, though some sources say 1995) in Japanese, it is the first of the author, Yasuhiko Nishizawa’s works to be translated into…
Book Review: Down Cemetery Road – Mick Herron
Note: This copy of Down Cemetery Road was provided by NetGalley. I must say that I first heard about Mick Herron when the Apple TV show Slow Dogs was announced. Having not read any of his work, seeing the option to read/isten to Down Cemetery Lane came as the perfect opportunity to get started. This…
Book Review: The List – Steve Berry
Note: This copy of The List was provided by NetGalley. I initially picked up this book to serve as nothing more than a palate cleanser from the urban fantasy train I’ve been riding for a while. This was my first Steve Berry novel which is surprising since he occupies the same space as other noteworthy…
Book Review: All Better Now – Neal Shusterman
All Better Now by Neal Shusterman is a dystopian novel with more than a passing nod at the COVID pandemic. The story revolves around this virus that seems to be spreading that leaves the people that survive the initial fever stage with a deep sense of calm and happiness. They feel no negative emotions and…
Book Review: Extinction – Douglas Preston
This book left me with mixed feelings. On the one hand I really quite enjoyed the premise, but on the other hand I feel I may have given myself some unjustified expectations of this being something similar to Jurassic Park. It didn’t help that the previous thriller I picked up was Eruption by the late…
Book Review: Argylle – Elly Conway
What happens when a movie starts production for a book before the latter is even published? You get a hell of a lot of publicity, and an air of intrigue and mystery surrounding both. Argylle is the story of (Secret?) Agent Aubrey Argylle and it is interesting, but not in a good way. Full disclosure,…
