Maggie Brown magpie_ — Of the several short collections of Stephen King, this is definitely tilted more towards the ‘heart of darkness’ in the overall themes. I also think this is one of the better collections, and it’s definitely a great example of his writing in the last ten or so years. I won’t go into every story, but my personal favorites: ‘All That You Love Will Be Carried Away,’ ‘The Death of Jack Hamilton,’ ‘L.T.’s Theory of Pets’ (which encapsulates the whole collection perfectly imo), and ‘1408.’ Also of note is “The Little Sisters of Eluria” which is a Dark Tower prequel story—I single it out because Dark Tower is one of the few Stephen King books that I haven’t read, and I have a hard time getting into The Gunslinger. But I love this short novel. Overall—one of his standout collections, and definitely high up on my recommendation list.

Xell Zamora darkchein — Jennifer Weiner stretches herself in this collection of short stories, which are well written for someone maligned for writing "chick lit." I knew she had it in her. I probably should be more generous and give her four stars. I loved her first book, Good in Bed, and the ones that followed were fun, breezy reads. But a few of these are ... gasp ... literary in quality. She sticks to her female narrators with divorced mothers and wild younger sisters but the writing is more mature than you will find in her novels.

Sandra Delić sandra_delic — This is a the first book in a fantasy trilolgy written by one of the best children's authoress' ever. She has one several awards for her work. This particular series is a fascinating look at several interconnected but very different future societies.

Thomas Radcliffe tomradcliffe — The storyline in Allan Heinberg's Who is Wonder Woman? feels like a retrospective tribute compared to than a story that would help the reader get to know the heroine just as Greg Rucka did when he penned The Hiketeia. While the storyline is good for anyone unfamiliar with the character and her history, the plot is too elementary for those who have followed Wonder Woman over the years. Even worse is that the story contains too much action with little character development and too many villains for one to take count. Initially, Cheetah, Giganta, and Dr. Psycho set out to bait Wonder Woman who has gone into hiding following public outcry over her committing murder (to save Superman's life). Midway through the story, Hercules enters the picture, seemingly coming to Wonder Woman's aide until he is revealed eventually to be in cohoots with the sorceress Circe. More villains follow, and with each group of villains comes a battle, each subsequent one becoming tiresome until the conclusion of the story when Wonder Woman understands who she is supposed to be.
