Things I Never Got Around To Writing A Review For

Should have done, didn't.

  • Lightborn by Tricia Sullivan - Excellent Science Fiction novel. Starts out feeling a bit YA but quickly reveals lots of depth and themes that turn it into a Clarke Award nominee. It ended up where I thought it would but via quite a few unexpected twists. Enjoyed it a lot, thoroughly recommended.
  • Source Code - Not a full Duncan Jones film as he was brought in after the script was written, but still a good little Science Fiction film. Where by little I mean focused. In print it would be a short story not a novel. Engaging and intelligent. Liked it a lot but would have preferred the early ending.
  • Doctor Who, 2011 Series, Part One - Dense and mysterious. Enough overlapping plotlines and hanging threads to make JJ Abrams happy. Excellent performance by Matt Smith who has made The Doctor his own. Only two slightly boring episodes, and they turn out to be pivotal. River Song has transformed from being annoying to quite cool. Looking forward to Part Two. (Annoyance: using the phrase "Mid Season Finale", this is not America, we have series and endings.)
  • Golf Is Not A Game Of Perfect - A book on the psychological aspects of playing golf. Interesting. Some transferable knowledge to writing.
