When reviewing this graphic novel, I have tried to be as partial as I can be. But the problem is that I am just a Jim Butcher fan that it is very hard. I have read all of the books, I am play testing...knows he gets himself into a lot of trouble. But beyond that, he does what he feels is right and tries to protect others as much as he can. Rating 9.5 out of 10. I guess I was not THAT impartial.
Lately I have not really had time to really review what I have been reading. Starting a new job, spending time with my girlfriend, and my obsession with the rpg Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion have all done...story. One of the main characters was pushed to the side and it never recovered. Rating. 5.0 out of 10. That is all for now. HOpefully I will be able to get back into the swing of things soon.

Could we do that? Have things gotten any better since the 1940’s? It would take someone smarter than I to answer that. But I did enjoy this book.

Book 31. Something from the nightshade by Simon R. Green fantasy 240 pages I have seen this one around for a while. I thought about buying it because there is a quote on the book from Jim Butcher... Yeah, this book was ok. Nothing too great, or awful about it. John Taylor felt a bit too much like a Dresden clone, but overall it was a decent read. Doubt I will read any more of them though.
