Mickey 7 - Edward Ashton

 

 

 Mickey is unusual, he is a voulenteer, in a role that nobody in their right mind would accept. He is an expendable. He is a clone of his former self, on his seventh cycle. 

 

Only in place to do the jobs that may involve loss of life. You see life is important in space, just as it is everywhere else. The only difference they have his memory on file, uploaded regularly. Just incase of death you see. He will have his memories and still know most of what he knew. Replecated.

 

Assumed dead. Duplicated. His life neve to be the same again. Wrestling with his other self of food, women and just what did happen to him.

A Sci-Fi adventure in the truest sense, just warped, comical  and immensley enjoyable.

 

A rip-rollocking ride across the skyskcape. To a planet of 'habital' consistancy.

 

You find yourself drawn into the character, alost to the point where you feel for him. Capturing the idoesyncrasies of life as one of the oft overlooked.

A truely enjoyable page turner of a read.

4.5/5.0

Graveneye - Sloane Leong (artist Anna Bowles)

 

Not read a graphic novel in quite some time. This one did not disappoint in the slightest. With artwork from Anna Bowles (debut).

A tale of blood, lust, love and hunting. Obsession.

Released on 30/11/2021.

A must for a tale of feral animals and humans.

4 out of 5 for this one.

The Fuck-It List - John NIVEN

 

 

One man. One illness. One list. One question, just how far would you go?

Some of the best satire that I have read in quite somw time.

Trump re-elected in 2020 his daughter in his place in 2024. It is now 2026 and Frank has a grudge to bear. With an enormus chip on his shoulder. He sets off on one almighty road trip.§ne over the age of 16 to bear arms.

With school masacres at an all time high. Mass shootings not far behind.

A list, 5 names. All with a valid reason to be there. Going right to the very top of the pile.

A fast paced, page turner that leaves you flying by the seat of your pants. A really enjoyable read.

 

4.0 out of 5.0

Joyland - Stephen King

                                                                           Mr King sir,

Oh captain, My captain...

There has always been something more urgent, more pressing.

I should be ashamed of myself leaving this to gather dust.

A joy to read, no breaks it just flows from beginning to end. Is there nothing that this man can't turn his hand to?

Early 70's static carnival. A summer job that brought together friends, and unearthed a series of murders of young girls.

Tied to the King-a-Verse via one of his favourites, the seeing/sight that you find in the shining, the dark tower to name but a few.

Compelling it draws you in, the style and content may not be normal. But, this is one of a hell of a slam dunk.

Give it a try, where the air is rare

 

Orange City - Lee Goldberg

Dystopia never tasted so good.

As far as management goes, the man, is pretty high up. To match his height, he is also a Grade A Sociopath.

Trying to run a Statuesque city, he toys with its citizens as the whim passes over him.

He got his kicks drugging and amputating at free will.

His greatest feet, hadn't even been released and there was massive demand for it. What was it? Simplicity, soda pop.

Different flavours, different moods, always thirsty for them.

One man's journey, against tyranny.

Status: Completed
