Stephen Hawking

Bantam, 1998

Transport yourself into possibility.

+ Highly recommended to everybody interested in Astronomy and Nuclear Physics

This book absolutely recreates the wonder I felt looking at the stars as a child. Stephen Hawking has a knack like no other I have read in the science world of transporting the reader to a realm of humbling amazement and possibility. Pure genius bubbling over with dry humor that will never fail to ...

By the balls

+ as good as fightclub
+ Unexpected dark humor... how can you resist?

This book grabbed me by the balls until I was done. I normally take a few months to get through a book, like Choke, but this was about a week. I would have only liked more main characters to die.

Not only was it thought provoking, but it provoked a strong reaction in general, a trait that is losing strength in literature today. ...

Harry Turtledove

Del Rey, 1997

Ending and Beginning

Turtledove continues to maintain interest in the final book of the first subseries of World War. It is a satisfactory ending, and beginning. The plotlines are neatly wrapped up, with a number of shockers. But not too neatly wrapped up- there is a lot of room to see how the two species will ...

If you've grown up in a small beach town, you understand the love-hate relationship between locals and tourists. If you're an artist, you'll understand it even more. Palahniuk uses ...
