Speculative Fiction Reviews

“Ender’s Game” by Orson Scott Card – audio book- excellent entertainment with an emotional punch

“Farthing” by Jo Walton – a chilling mystery set in an alternate 1949 Britain

“Reamde” by Neal Stephenson – Long, enjoyable read – “Snow Crash” all grown up

“Blackout” by Connie Willis – I couldn’t finish it – very disappointing

“The Long Earth” Terry Pratchett and Stephen Baxter – Dissapointing: Incomplete novel. Old fashioned SF. No emotion.

The Ambassador’s Mission (Traitor Spy Trilogy, #1) by Trudi Canavan: disappointing read – none of the magic of “The Black Magician Trilogy”

“The Hunger Games” by Suzanne Collins – best science fiction I’ve read in a decade

“I Shall Wear Midnight” by Terry Pratchett – Tiffany grows up

“WWW : Wonder” by Robert J Sawyer: slightly disappointing ending to strong science fiction triology
