I may as well review the first three books in this series together because that’s how I read them — together! I picked up the first book and couldn’t put it down. The series … not just the one book! When I finished the third book and saw that #4 wasn’t ready yet I practically […]

TV Review: “Into the Dark” (Doctor Who Series 8 Episode 2)

TV Reivew: Food Fighters

Think you can beat one of the best celebrity chefs in […]

I enjoy many of the modern superhero stories being reinvented for the modern age with amazing special effects and more depth of character. I particularly like beginnings, the story of how someone discovered and came to terms […]
