"Unbelievably fast-paced, exciting adventure. Each chapter is like a mini-action movie, but this is also a story about an initially simple man discovering just how much he is capable of."
"100 years in the life of a family and a town in South America. Rich, quirky, full of character. Beautifully written, like a fairytale for adults. Every sentence is compelling."
"No-one writes low-life better than Bukowski. This basically autobiographical novel, though, charts his early life; Adolescent miseries, sexual desire... Written as always with humour and melancholy."
"Usually, I find PKD's work ingenious but somewhat cold. This is warm, life-like, hilarious, tragic and barely SF at all. A book about friendship and addiction."
"Rich, gritty first-person account of a guy just out of jail trying, and failing, to go straight. Bunker is an amazing writer who really shows us the realities of the criminal world."
"Mediaeval Germany: Two young monks, both dedicated to their quiet vocation. Then one strays into sin and leaves. The other stays. Big questions asked within a compelling, beautiful narrative."
"NOTE: This *isn't* SF. It's a great, character-driven story about a bunch of kids in the '70s, on a road trip into the Arizona desert, seeking out a cult said to know the secret of immortality."
"Lovecraft's stories are drenched in atmosphere. These editions collect (nearly) all of his fiction in three volumes. Vol.2 contains my favourite story of all, 'The Temple.'"
"Like comics? I'm not crazy about them, as they are too often disappointing. But the 'Preacher' series is the best I've ever read. Ultraviolent, hilarious entertainment with 3 great lead characters."
"Like comics? Me too, when they're this well-drawn. Miller's writing is minimal and blah. Darrow's art is the star; A hyper-detailed, perverse, run-down future - You can pore over this for hours."
"This tiny book is always by my bedside, so I can pick it up when I'm down. Little nuggets of truth that remind you life is short and there's no point dwelling on the past or worrying over the future."
