Ben Bova – Cyberbooks

March 25, 2010 6 comments

Ben Bova - Cyberbooks TYPE: Science Fiction

RATING: 6/10

REVIEW:

In a world, not far in the future, where publishing seems to be a tedious task and publishing houses are fighting for a way to stay in the business, minimizing their losses and trying to maximize their profit, one man aims to find a way to reduce these ever-growing costs.

This one is a story about a man who aims to revolutionize the publishing business by use of his invention which later is called as a ‘Cyberbook’. The concept of a Cyberbook is very similar to our e-books and thus, conceptually at least, this book just doesn’t cut it.

Rakesh Nair – Shutting Down

Well, WordPress has been with me so far.
But I think I’m gonna go off and use its capabilities on a site of my own.
It would be great to have any of my followers to redirect themselves to the following URL:
http://scholarsarena.com
That’s my own blog 🙂
And if you search for scholarsarena, all you’ll find is mostly six pages of me. Which is y I stuck to the name; I’m famous!
Well, hope most of you’ll stick around.
I plan to begin it from scratch in a way. Coz there’s a whole bunch of stuff I wanna do.
Looking forward to all of u 🙂
Leave me comments if u will, whether u need any changes in the stuff.
Will be glad to oblige if it ain’t too much work.

Clifford D. Simak – Our Children’s Children

Clifford D. Simak - Our Children's Children TYPE: Science Fiction

RATING: 6/10

REVIEW:

I have read science fiction stuff and then I’ve read some more. Maybe it’s just the story that doesn’t seem to attract me because there isn’t any kind of logic involved or even a great amount of mystery. For some unfathomable reason, this one fails to keep me gripped.

No doubt, the story is pretty entertaining. We have a whole lot of people coming in from the future. They say they are from a hundred years hence, when the humankind is destined to destruction because of some alien menace. They are pouring in by the hundreds, through time portals, and causing a whole lot of disruption to the world economy.

Michael Connelly – The Closers

Michael Connelly - The Closers TYPE:    Thriller, Mystery

RATING:    7/10

REVIEW:

The Closers is a well rounded murder mystery. I must have missed Harry Bosch’s description in the earlier books as this just the second book of Connelly that I have laid hands on.

The Closers are a group of people on the fifth floor of the LAPD who work on open-unsolved cases. This usually means that they have to sift through the evidence they have,part by part, because there is only a slight chance, if any, of getting fresh evidence pertaining to cases that may be as old as two decades back.
