Review: The Bojeffries Saga


The Bojeffries Saga
The Bojeffries Saga by Alan Moore

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



Imagine if a downplayed Addams Family/Munsters did a scathing societal satire of modern English (and to a lesser extent, most Western nations) society. In a rare instance of Alan Moore writing humor, "The Bojeffries Saga" is quite funny, even though I'm sure I missed a few England-centric references.

Review: Axe Cop: Volume One


Axe Cop: Volume One
Axe Cop: Volume One by Malachai Nicolle

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



Hilariously random and bizarre. I vaguely remember the days when I had a similar imagination. Who says everything gets better with age?

Review: Hell Manor


Hell Manor
Hell Manor by Lisa Morton

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



Although there were a few minor plot holes and some overly-omniscient narrator syndrome, the action flows pretty well, and the story itself is pretty engaging. Definitely worth the read.

Review: The Wolf's Hour


The Wolf's Hour
The Wolf's Hour by Robert R. McCammon

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



This is an all-around, well-written tale. Even if it didn't have the werewolf bits, it would make for a good, WWII-era action/intrigue book. I did like McCammon's take on the supernatural bits, though, so this just made for a fun read.
