    Your personal bodyguard- reposted and revised

    Hehe, good to see so many of you have faith in me! I am truly humbled :D Seriously though, Barristan 1st, but I think that i'd have Ser Bronn as a close second, he too is devious and uses his mind to fight as well as his blade. If were against me, i;d be pretty worried.

    Day of the Triffids...

    Try "Earth Abides" by George R Stewart. I read it only recently and even though written in 1949, I think dated pretty well. "Blood Crazy" by Simon Clark is quite entertaining, as is "Plague" by Graham Masterton.

    Season Four Arc

    So what are peoples opinion of the blatent placing of the Doctors hand at the beginning of the episode? JMHO If you compare where the hand is stored and where the Doctor has started to regenerate, they seem to be very close. Regeneration energy caused him to grow his hand back, but what if...

    Stephen King - Cell

    This was the 1st Stephen king book ive read, and the last. The ending was soooo unfulfilling that it ruined the journey for me. I think he just couldnt think of a way to finish and his deadline was getting close. Meh!

    James Herbert

    Well, they were written at least 2 decades apart, and he has changed his style noticeably in the last 4 or 5 books. When I read the Rats, I did find myself imagining it set in the 70's, and its seems to fit it very well. Secret of Crickley hall was definately a 2007 set book.

    Deathly Hallows - who's going to die?

    Well, i'm going down to my local Ottakers with my kids to get it at midnight :D, theres lots of games and activities going on. After seeing the JKR interview on jonathon ross, she has made it clear that there will be a lot of deaths. The whole thing about 2 characters dying, was that they...

    Banning computer games?

    As a Father of 3 (3,11 and 13) I do find myself veering to the cause of banning the games that go too far. However, as an avid gamer of consoles and Roleplaying for the last 20 something years, I can see there is no harm in a lot of the material. Its a tough call, but there are so many...

    James Herbert

    I have read pretty much everything James Herbert has written, and I must admit, I thought he may have lost his touch for Nobody True and The Others, however. I have just finished the Secret of Crickley Hall, and he is back in a BIG way! It had me craving to read it, built tension and had a...

    Clive Barker

    Its an assumption by the book shop as the vast body of Barker's works are Horror in the extreme! They probably couldnt accept that he has talent as a YA author too.

    Philip Pullman - Northern Lights

    I'll try to describe what disappointed me about the 3rd book and i'll warn you now that it sounds a little wishy washy. Disappointed is probably the wrong word, but I cant think of a more succinct one. The flavour of the first 2 books were so intense, dark and compelling, but when it came to...
