Catching Fire is the second book in the Hunger Games trilogy. This one is just like the first: there’s absolutely nothing that will disappoint. This book continued exactly where the last book left off. I was going to wait a little while before reading it because I had just finished the...

Some months ago, and very much by happenstance, I was browsing through Amazon.com and found that a new Tarzan novel was coming out. This was a fortunate thing for a Tarzan fan such as myself, so I found myself interested in what the premise of this book was. For starters, it wasn’t a new...

Hunger Games is the first book in a trilogy written by Suzanne Collins. While writing this review, I’m about to start book number two in the series called Catching Fire. I’ve reserved watching the movie until after I have finished the first book in the series, and now I get...

Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? was written and first published in 1968. Apparently this was the primary basis for the 1982 film Blade Runner directed by Ridley Scott and starring Harrison Ford. Unfortunately I did not enjoy this book as much as I’ve enjoyed a lot of the...

Well it’s been just over a month since my last newsletter, and there’s been a lot going on in my sci-fi world every sense. I have had a very awesome last two weeks or even a month of sci-fi. It all began with the current series going on of Warehouse 13 and Alphas. It’s been...

When I’m at work, I sometimes get too wrapped up in what I’m doing to look at all the fan sites and see what’s going on in our world of geekdom. There are times I make it to MSN or Yahoo News to get some info as to what’s going on out there, and sure enough...

Foundation from Isaac Asimov is a very interesting story. It would appear that this story is broken up into several short stories, or several not so short stories. At times the separations of stories will catch you off guard. There are huge time gaps between the stories that make it one of...

Before I start my rant a brief background on my history with Doctor Who: I have been a fan of Doctor Who since I was 6 years old.  This is not unusual in England, where Doctor Who is a part of the culture, much like Star Wars and Star Trek are here.  In the USA most fans, at...

I once heard it said that the best way to fully appreciate the things you enjoy most is to learn what influenced those things.  Then when you discover those influences, go back and discover what inspired those influences, and so forth.  It might have been Jon Bon Jovi that said...

There are some things that can make you feel like a kid again and today I got to read one of those things. Yesterday I was the proud recipient of Darkwing Duck: The Duck Knight Returns, the miniseries that brought an all-too-short revival of the character. I had read many reviews online about...
