Reviews...

When Uncle Mex first mooted this joint blog we agreed that it should not just be three grumpy old men but provide guidence in the form of reviews too...

So...

Dr Who - The Eyeless

OMFG!

How formulaic a book could you write?

If the answer is "Fucking Very!" then congrats! Job done!

Dr arrives, meets enemy, runs, meets friends, tries to complete mission, endangers friends, says "I don't kill", kills dozens of enemies, saves friends and converts an enemy...

Absolutely no characterisation of Tennants Dr and no reason to give a toss about any one else.

Unlike;

The Deaths Head trilogy by David Gunn

What a name! So manly! I mean 'David!' wow!

These books are the first in ten years that have had me racing through them in days if not hours, eager to wallow in the guts and blown off limbs hell I even read the pish book above to provide a sorbet to the third book.

I can't waste the plot as there isn't really much of one (hypocritical I know) but it is so action packed and well
written that you read most it and only then sit back and unleash a well satisfied "aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh!"

I've just started book 3 so it should all become clear why Sven is so special and I can't wait!

So some books to enjoy and one to avoid, more reviews soon.
