Sad story (with a sadder ending, not in the book), but beautifully written. Lucy was truly a gifted writer - don't read this as an autobiography, but rather as a piece of well-crafted literature.

Truly evil little gem.. my wife is (fortunately) far too nice to take full advantage of the strategies contained herein.

A bit more adult than the "Bad Cat" version - lots of drug humor, some of which falls flat. A few priceless portraits, though!

Much better than the DaVinci Code - doesn't pretend to be nonfiction, either! ;-)

One of the best of the Dark Tower series. The one I wanted to go back and reread after everything!

Good, if quite dark, writing! A challenging read.

736 pages is not "brief"!

Starts a little slow, and is at first quite reminiscent of Starship Trooper (the book, not the horrible movie). The pace picks up about halfway through, and while it is ostensibly about a confusing war with an ill-understood enemy, the real story is about humanity and it's evolution (or lack thereof). Depressing as hell, but with a few rays of hope scattered in for good measure. Won both the Hugo and Nebula awards for "Best Novel of the Year".
Good read!

More cerebral than Christine - I enjoy it when everything isn't quite all the way explained... Note: Has tie-ins to the Dark Tower series!

An eye-opening firsthand account of life in the Green Berets! Straightforward - sympathetic and unapologetic, warts and all. Fascinating!

Interesting idea for a series... enjoyable, but the main character needs to be slapped around a bit from time to time (fortunately, he is..)

A truly disturbing premise - made more real(?) by King's expertise at getting inside a kid's head. Where's the need for made-up monsters when we've got humanity?

Good science, reminiscent of The Moon is a Harsh Mistress. As an aside, it's amusing to read the very un-PC '70s-era internal dialog of the somewhat sexist (by today's standard anyhow) main character. ;-)

The 3D sound effects are pretty effective!

Quite a few good tales in this collection, including those upon which the recent Nightmares & Dreamscapes TV series was based. Includes both the excellent non-fiction baseball piece "Head Down" and the poem "Brooklyn August" which I've read first appeared in a big-league baseball program.

Excellent writing from a very interesting Brit - bachelor's in Social Anthropology and a Masters with Distinction from the London School of Economics. Steampunk isn't my favorite genre, but this book kept me riveted. Slakemoths? *shudder*
