An effort to write more about TV; and also films, books, music and anything that seems worth the word count. If you come to a review site not expecting spoilers, you deserve everything you get. I do not claim that these posts are a complete overview of my thoughts - comment to probe further. Images are owned by their respective owners.

Pageview: Freedom
Freedom by Daniel Suarez
The only comfort we have that the US military is nothing like its portrayal in Daemon is that Suarez was still alive and at liberty to write the sequel - in which it gets worse. A very worthy continuation of the fantastic Daemon story, with the occasional hole or typo (worst author for uncaught typos I've ever read). As with the first book, it's good to read someone who knows exactly what they're talking about when they invoke technology, but doesn't show off.

Pageview: Skippy Dies
Skippy Dies by Paul Murray
This is not the easiest book to read. It meanders, it loiters and the way Murray renders certain characters' thought processes in text via grammar, font changes and disconnected run-ons is sometimes challenging. But it makes the book more real.
