BOOK REVIEW: Steelheart by Brandon Sanderson
Steelheart is one of those super-hero books that put a slant on the idea of people inherently having character flaws and using super powers for the detriment of society. In the near future, a group of people evolve into “Epics”, are given powers when a meteor named “Calamity” crashes on Earth. These beings have […]

BOOK REVIEW: Champion by Marie Lu
Ok, I know I was jonzing for a good Young Adult series. Especially dystopian. Especially after The Hunger Games, and more importantly, especially after The Divergent series finished up. Although I loved what Veronica Roth did with the ending (that most people almost threw themselves off a building for) from a writer’s perspective. Not to give […]

Young Adult Dystopian Done Right, Again
One of my favorite Young Adult books in 2012 returned with a sequel that did not disappoint. Rain and her band of super-teens (that’s my tagline, not the authors) are still enslaved in the UZA.

The Definitive Catching Fire Movie/Book Review
Ok, so I saw Catching Fire for the second time last night. I needed to take my daughter to see it and I figured it’d be a good time for me to really “digest” the movie with an unbiased ‘I read the book’ perspective. When I first saw the movie opening day, I had some […]

BOOK REVIEW: DOON by Carey Corp and Lorie Langdon
Book Review for DOON by Carey Corp and Lorie Langdon Doon Copyright © 2013 by Carey Corp and Lorie Langdon ISBN 978–0–310–74230–2 How do you like your fairy tales? Sappy, weak, predictable, slow-moving and stale? That’s kind of the question I had to ask myself when I started reading Doon. Not because the story was […]

REVIEW: The Data Runner by Sam Patel
I’m running. I’m running. And I can’t stop. As an ex-track athlete who spent most of his time doing the exact same thing in high school and college, I can appreciate a good run. I was a hurdler. Leaping over a 42 inch barrier, running full speed, with multiple adversaries in the adjacent lanes next […]
