Review: The Woman on the Orient Express

The Woman on the Orient Express by Lindsay Jayne Ashford
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Not my usual sort of book, far too dependent little women wailing about not having a man.

That said, it was well enough written, and kept me reading despite what I don't like.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Pretty good steampunk version of cities on the hoof rather than cities in flight, but good nonetheless.

The Dread Wyrm by Miles Cameron

I love this series. Knights and dragons and a smart ass hero who always has plans within plans. What's not to like!

Review: Ice Station Zebra

Ice Station Zebra by Alistair MacLean
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I'm of the opinion that this is one of those rare instances where the movie was far better than the book. Book wasn't bad, just that the movie was better!

Review: Iron House

Iron House by John Hart
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Excellent book with atmosphere and suspense. My only complaint is that he got the psychology wrong, but then it's a common misconception so I won't fault him too badly for it, since the book is so good otherwise. Highly recommended.
