Here’s the first batch of 2010 reviews, haiku digest style.
Dark Innocence
ending is insane
someone forgot to edit
novel does show heart
.
Behan, The Complete Plays
sharped tongued characters
two of the plays are top-notch
too much rally song
.
The Amateur American
typical spy book
main guy has charms yet lacks skills
voice, character: strong
.
The Astonishing Life of Octavian Nothing, v.1
has an agenda
highly stylized; not fun
slavery is bad
.
The Casebook of Victor Frankenstein
a genre bender
Frankenstein pals with Shelley
the ending is poop
.
Wetlands
abrasive word choice
swears like a nympho sailor
touching, after all
.
Tinkers
there is no plot here
but the writing is damn good
approach as if it’s verse
.
Soon I Will Be Invincible
not what you’d expect:
redefines superheroes?
can repeat, repeat
.
