The Taking Of Chelsea 426 Review

Doctor Who: The Taking of Chelsea 426 is a good book for those with some experience with the Doctor Who franchise. My experience is very little but enough to enjoy this book. I just started watching Doctor Who this April with the 11th incarnation of the Doctor played by Matt Smith. I have also watched everything with the 9th Doctor and some of the 10th. As you can see I am catching up quickly on this series thanks to Netflix. So like I said you need some experience with the Doctor to enjoy this book.

This novel stars the 10th Doctor played by David Tennant which takes place at the space colony Chelsea 426. The plot of the novel is about the Rutans and Sontarans' War with each other and how they use Chelsea 426 to try to gain an advantage in the war.

This book is great for scifi lovers and fans of Doctor Who. It was action, comedy, twists, and wit that is known in the Doctor Who series. I would rate this book 8.0 out of 10.

Strengths: Action, Comedy, Twists, Wit, Great For Experience Doctor Who Fans, Good Writing

Weaknesses: Short, No Companion, Not For Noobs

Unclean Spirits Review

Let me start this thing off by giving you the summary on the back of the book:

Jayne Heller thinks of herself as a realist, until she discovers reality isn't quite what she thought it was, When her uncle Eric is murdered, Jayne travels to Denver to settle his estate, only to learn that it's all hers-and vaster than she ever imagined. And along with properties across the world and an inexhaustible fortune, Eric left her a legacy of a different kind: his unfinished business with a cabal of wizards known as the Invisible College.

Led by the ruthless Randolph Coin, the Invisible College harnesses demon spirits for their own ends of power and domination. Jayne finds it difficult to believe magic and demons can even exist, let alone be responsible for the death of her uncle. But Coin sees Eric's heir as a threat to be eliminated by any means magical or mundane-so Jayne had better start believing in something to save her own life.

Aided in her mission by a group of unlikely companions-Aubrey, Eric's devastatingly attractive assistant; Ex, a former Jesuit with a lethal agenda; Midian, a two-hundred-year-old man who claims to be under a curse from Randolph Coin himself; and Chogyi Jake, a self-styled Buddhist with mystical abilities-Jayne finds that her new reality is not only unexpected, but often unexplainable. And if she hopes to survive, she'll have to learn the new rules fast-or break them completely....

Well if that peaked your interest let me suggest who this book should be for. If you like an intelligent strong heroin as the protagonist, romance, drama, the supernatural, and series than this book is probably for you. One of the weaknesses of the book is there is not a lot of action, the book is more realistic compared to other supernatural novels. Another weakness is that the writing could be better. It feels sometimes the author tries to use two different styles but don't blend them very well. I would suggest to read this book only because it gets better as it goes on and it looks promising as a series. I would give this book a 7.5 out of 10. If you enjoy this book don't forget about it's sequel Darker Angels.

God of War Collection Review

With the release of God of War III in March I thought I would try to play the first two games from the Playstation 2. Luckily the games where re-release on the PS3 in the God of War Collection. Let me just say that for $30 this collection is worth buying. It has two of the greatest PS2 games ever made. I mean God of War I can be considered by some to be one of the top ten best games of all time. The graphics have been updated so they look more crisp. The controls still feel good and not like an old resident evil game. The gore of the game is art. Poetry in motion. The best part about it is that they added trophies so if you have played the games on PS2, this time around you will get rewarded for your work. But what makes the God of War Collection unique is the Greek Mythology, something you don't see a lot in entertainment. I would give this game a score of 9.0 out of 10.

Strengths: Updated Graphics, Great Gameplay, Gore, Trophies, It costs $30

Weaknesses: Too short
