I'm a lawyer, married to B and I have a ten year old daughter, P. I love French pastries and have a weakness for croissants. I leave the sport to B and prefer to read and watch science fiction and fantasy but I'm also a literature fan so you'll get a little of everything.
Why reviews? Because I work with dry papers all day (law is duller than you think) and my escape afterwards is the rainbow world of fantasy reading and cinema so I thought I'd keep track of them all here and guide a few readers on the way. So keep watching this space.
My reviews will be quick and sharp - with a rating out of 10.
Book Review #1
Dracula by Bram Stoker
Told in letters and journal entries (epistolary) This is a great and easy read. Victorian gothic horror at it's best. There's romance, horror, action and mystery all in the one book. Basically, it's like Francis Ford Coppola's film but unfortunately there's no smouldering Gary Oldman romance, which was disappointing but I could live with it.
8/10
