OK I am really enjoying The Devils . Not all that far in, but his writing is on a whole new level. The absolute glee with which he keeps you laughing at some of his descriptions has always shone through, but having just read the introduction to Viggo (chapter "The good meat"), the way he thrashes hi...

I have tried it out as it's on Gamepass. Honestly if you strip the name Doom off it, it's a helping of shooter. Here, have some shooter. It's fine, I like the shield, the bash/charge thing. I'm with Raid in that the guns I have so far are an irrelevance, something to do when not hurling the shield, ...

No thanks, for the dog alone.

I am a regular wearer of leather jackets. I love them. Just to share the leather jacket love, I also own one and wear it every winter. It's a Schott jacket in a style made for the NYC police - although not with any markings to illustrate it as such of course, I am not a complete flute. It is the le...

Also have The Devils, if it's up to his usual standard I'll be well pleased.

I thought his last trilogy was his weakest to date, so will be keen to see if The Devils is a return to form. It is set in 'our' world, which will be a refreshing change.

Thanks Sly, always on the lookout for good new Fantasy tales. Got the new Abercrombie ready to go once I finish my current trilogy, but will look at these after.

Honestly Sly it's fine, it's just Windows, not any massive upheaval for me on my home PC and more recently the work laptop.

Back to ranting: people at work who message you "hi", then spend 5-10 minutes typing out what they actually want. If you're going to break me off from what I'm doing, just tell me what you want from the get-go, because I'm not going to be able to concentrate on anything until you do. YES! I have a ...

every shopper in there looked slightly crazed There is a gargantuan Asda across the road from the corporate park I work at in Eastleigh, affectionately known as Chavda by most of my colleagues. It has been the site of some fucking random behaviour. On one of my first days with my employer, I said t...

Yes, the Trump allusions in Ep. 1 were so heavy-handed I was cringing. There were so many worn out tropes, in fact, that a part of me feels a little bit queasy at the thought of continuing. I haven't started this one yet and with these reviews it looks doubtful. I enjoyed the original series, at le...
