I thought SFF Chron always had reviews. Cool now I can get proper insight into books

Unfortunately not. It's only me doing the reviews at present

But we hope to get more people involved soon.

To clarify we do have a Reviews section but Yes those are the ones going in the SFF Chrons reviews section located at the front end of the forum.

I quite liked the review you did on City and the City Ian.....

Not an easy book to review without giving too much way... But thanks: glad you liked it.

ian - I am sure you are fair and trustworthy, it beats reading reviews from Harriet Klausner who apparently has read so many books (well if I actually did read them cause apparently she is a fraud).

I just read that review because it was on the main site. Didnt know it was you i must say i liked it and it was close to what i felt after reading that book. I wasnt impressed by the crime side,character invistagions that was clumsy if you know your crime fiction.

It was a quality,original SF book though. Those cities. I saw the eastern,western thing too. But didnt not make the connection you made about certain two countries.

A new review is up in Chrons' review section: The Restoration Game by Ken MacLeod - see here.

I'm trying to put up at least one book review a month, but it might a slip a bit at time...

Ian, it would be good if you could update the first (top) entry with these updates, as soon the middle updates will get lost!

 

[iansales]

Unfortunately, the forum doesn't allow you to edit old posts. Not unless you're an admin, I think, which I'm not.

 

[Lord Soth]

bah, make this man an admin!

 

[chrispenycate]

You don't actually have to be admin; any old mod can do it if asked nicely (a major advantage, as admin are seriously overworked).

I can always take them away if you prefer.

I'm happy to take requests, providing the books are still in print.
