Rear Window

Grace Kelley is drop-dead gorgeous, graceful, and steals the film.  Her parkour in high-heels is awesome.I plan to catch up on the other Hitchcock films now.
​

lost starship

There are some redeeming elements to this space opera; the enigma of the enemy is interesting. Some of the B plots are good.  However all of the interactions with the "AI" in the lost starship are puke awful.  I am curious how the story will progress.  3/5 stars.
​

Glory Season

I was surprised to discover I had not read this one 10 years ago and the story still holds up.  It's David Brin so of course it's awesome.  5/5 stars.
​

Vanished (Will S Hylton)

This one was very good and timely since I read it during Memorial Day.  It is insightful, interesting, and enlightening, 4/5 stars.​

Rum Diaries

Very interesting macho story, graphic, human, lush.  4/5 stars
​

Accelerando

This one was awesome!  Thrilling ride. 5/5 stars.
​

Downbelow Station

I could not get into this story and did not like it 2/5 stars.  There was too much indirect context.​

Chemical Burn

This one is another juvenile escapist fantasy story for teenaged boys with a terribly juvenile premise, plot, and cast of characters.  The martial arts fighting isn't bad but yuck. I have been striking out with my book selection recently.  1/5 stars.
​

Wicked Charms

​Now I remember why I don't read Janet Evoanovich's books.  This one is for 12-year-old girls; the extreme cliché melodrama, cardboard characters, juvenile plot are not for adults; avoid this one, 1/5 stars.
