Starship liberator by B V Larsen and David van Dyke

The Mech suits in the starring role of this book are silly and impossible, as are the tactics and politics. 1/5 stars.

Im Westen nichts neues

Absorbing, interesting, at times neausiating and very depressing book, 3/5 stars.

Dancing with myself by Charles Sheffield

The bad stories and dated science essays overwhelm the good. 2/5 stars. Skip this one.

Third Thoughts by Steven Weinberger

This collection of essays is not bad but somewhat dated and a little boring, 2/5 stars.

I enjoyed book 2 of the series and look forward to the others.  I don't really like the magic system but Sanderson writes well.  4/5 stars.

Brain Rules by John Medina

I finally read this one.  It is very dense and short, and well worth your time to read.  Some of the summaries are too short and cut out critical information.   I enjoyed it and recommend it highly.  5/5 Stars.
