Review: Polar Shift by Clive Cussler

May 13, 2008

This is one of the sloppiest-written books I have ever had the misfortune of wasting precious time to read. I had hoped to be entertained as it is a Cussler book — I mean, this is THE Clive Cussler we’re talking about. However, as this was the first Cussler book I’ve read, I can only [...]

“Storm Front: Book One of the Dresden Files” by Jim Butcher

September 23, 2005

I picked this book up after seeing it on an endcap display at Barnes & Noble for a couple of weeks, alongside several modern-day fantasy vampire novels.

Bottom line: “modern” terrorism, from the past thirty years or so, is a direct result of Soviet [...]

Inside the Asylum

July 25, 2004

I just finished this book tonight, and I have to say it truly is an eye-opener into the sheer insanity that passes for civilized behavior at the United Nations. Actually, though the book purports to be about the UN, only the first 100 or so of it’s 140-odd pages (the rest are an Appendix [...]
